Possible New Android Project – equkmod
I’m just looking at maybe making a mini all-in-one MOD for the i5700.
There are a few reasons for making this, the main one is to make it easy to install a new updated Official ROM (which prob has bugfixes) & apply one update without losing all of these manufacturer bugfixes. (a lot of mods seem to replace so much)
So the mod will only be a few MB instead of replacing 70MB of manufacturers fixes with a lower version causing incompatibility with libraries & completely losing the point of upgrading.
Also you will be able to install the mod without having to do a factory reset and losing all your settings etc.
So far the things which I actually find useful (and will prob add to the mod) are:
ARM11 Optimizations
New OpenGL Drivers
JIT
Relocation of dalvik-cache
Removal of debug dumps on startup
Volume mod (kernel)
Gallery3D (replace gallery completely)
Removal of system apps which are not required
Stuff I’ve never really used and will probably not bother with in this mod:
Live Wallpapers (bit gimmicky)
Nexus One Launcher (LauncherPro is much better)
So far I have a mod which:
removes wssyncmlnps.apk, MyFiles.apk & Gallery.apk
installs gallery3d.apk
installs custom media player with widgets (based on nexus one)
instals a custom startup script to relocate dalvik & also remove debug dumps
installs a custom hosts file to block adverts
fixes file permissions
Just found your site while searching for info on gaining more space on the i5700 (2.1, no root or other hacks). I think I will have to finally root it to be able to move things to SD. Anyhow, I find your new project very(!) interesting as it could save us (all Spica owners) lot of headaches during trying to get all of this mods one by one. So, looking forward to see the finished product!
