Guest robneymcplum Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 This is a ROM made by me, taking c3co's excellent paranoid android as a base, spending days removing things from it and checking it worked OK, removing something else, putting that back... to get the size/speed/stability perfect. Didnt like the dark JB colours so went light and I'm on orange so chose orange, and called it ESSEX because they are all orange. Available in 2 options, naked and dressed. Naked is as stripped as I could possibly make it and fits on a 150mb partition, no browser, no Email client, no music player, no google stuff..etc.. Dressed has these things put back in and fits on a 200mb partition. Both ROMs have these: Zeam Launcher Smart Keyboard Trans Weather Clock Roundr SuperSU OI File manager TPT helper New package installer to install everything to SD card And dressed has these as well: Gmail Google Maps Rocket Player BusyBox Link2sd And modified Opera Mini Both running at 844mhz/122mhz and battery life is excellent. Credits go firstly to c3co for paranoid android base, CM team for their hard work and base, Mohammad_Adib for the roundr app, Amphoras for TPT helper, anyone thinks they deserve a thanks let me know and I'll edit you in :) BAD THINGS: cannot get my roms to make a flashable zip, so had to post the NAND versions which isnt a massive problem, working in 2 different blades on 2 different networks. If anyone can try and make them flashable I'd be grateful, tried 3 different ways and got nowhere :( Camera flash and the bluetooth issue as per all JB roms and finally, doesnt seem to like mounting unless in CWM, my friend found this out but I use Android Commander: http://androidcommander.com/ as my PC manager, you should to as it accesses all your phone without needing to turn it off, or mount sd etc. and it works fine then. Screens and links next post :)
Guest robneymcplum Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Download for Dressed 200mb version: http://www.4shared.c...ckupzipped.html NOT FLASHABLE ZIPS Download for Naked 150mb version: http://www.4shared.c...ckedupzip2.html UNPACK THEN INSTALL BACKUP IN CWM! Download fro Beats Audio: http://upafile.com/7wr6ycimhqom Full flash wipe etc before flashing, install this then install beats audio once running, let it reboot and you're off. Add to \sd\clockworkmod\backup and restore in CWM. Any problems or help appreciated, first time romming, know I would have gone wrong somewhere but I've used it and have no issue except the mounting issue which doesnt effect me. Back up current rom first, take no responsibilty for anything going wrong. Thanks for trying if you do :) Edited September 1, 2013 by robneymcplum
Guest Uncharitable Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Hmmm..... Looks nice =) Let's test it. =D
Guest robneymcplum Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Thanks, it was made just for me but though I may as well post it up, see if anyone else likes it. Edited September 1, 2013 by robneymcplum
Guest Elantox Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) looks nice ^^ 2 zips same size... im install dressed version, and i dont have: Gmail Google Maps Rocket Player BusyBox Link2sd And modified Opera Mini Edited September 2, 2013 by Elantox
Guest robneymcplum Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 Arses.... it seems to have uploaded the same file twice but under the different names.... i'll upload the dressed version once I get home. And just so I know, what are toggles? where would I find them? do you mean the on off buttons like for wireless etc? as they are meant to be. if it's something else then could you let me know as I might not be aware of things I don't use. is battery and speed ok? smoothness etc? any comments i'll make version 2 with as much feedback as you leave. thanks.

Guest kamango604 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 Example, you can see on off switches but cant see of what. Most of the thing are themed well, but in many applications new theme makes buttons invisble. In link2sd, buttons look shaded as if they were unavailable, and some cant be seen at all. For example, pressing bottom of the screen works(for ok and dismiss) but that field is blank as if there was nothing there.
Guest robneymcplum Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 ah I see, first job then to sort those out. is that their proper name, toggles? think this may be trial and error on my part to find a colour shade that will work on orange black white and possibly grey. is everything else working ok?
Guest nimic Posted October 27, 2013 Report Posted October 27, 2013 Nice to test it, just a bit confugins to make a backup of my current rom then to copy backup of yours, it's complicated to know whick one is your rom and my rom backup, all i need to know is if is smooth everywhere and responsive without overclock, every rom i tested i used max 787 mhz, i dont use overclock.
Guest robneymcplum Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 Is perfectly smooth, and I also don't overclock, have no need to.
Guest boleguc Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Could you post it again, the links aren't working? :/
Guest robneymcplum Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Sorry, was way busy with all sorts of stuff :( here is the new links :) http://www.4shared.com/zip/HFtCRGJn/ESSEX_V2_diet.html http://www.4shared.com/zip/5Sc5oSAg/ESSEX_V2_fullfat.html Hope these are good for you all :) All comments WILL be answered now :)
Guest ilsang06200 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Excuse me, but before to flash, i want to know if the files lf essex v1 or v2 and what is the 150 mb version and 200 mb version.
Guest robneymcplum Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Sorry, both links are the new V2, top link is the smaller, less apps one.
Guest ilsang06200 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 you don't understand me, it's the essex v1(jb 4.1) or essex v2 (4.2) ?
Guest robneymcplum Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 No, I understood you fine. These are the links for V2 rom found in this later post: http://www.modaco.com/topic/366515-romessex-v242cm10114112013/ Read that post to see improvements compared to this V1. Better in every way :) and V1 links were deleted.
