[ROM][Gingerbread 2.3.7][AOSP]T-Mod Express
T-Mod Express
Non si risponde dei danni che puņ provocare la rom al telefono o ai supporti: ognuno la installa a suo rischio e pericolo.
T-Mod Express is a mod of AdamG’s Oxygen ROM by MrInsane
T-MOD Express is based on Oxygen, modified to be compatible with Telstra NextG network and it’s online services such as Usage Meters, Unmetered Bigpond Mobile sites and Music store.
The Oxygen ROM is an AOSP source built ROM (ie. Its built from source code, not a mod of any existing ROM). It’s minimal, it’s superfast and it’s mostly bugfree. As Oxygen is not a mod/port of any HTC/CyanogenMod or any other ROM, it may not be to everyone’s liking, it’s minimalistic and basic.
Oxygen (and therefore T-Mod Express) is always kept up to date with the latest Android releases – so you can always have the absolute newest version possible! We’re currently running 2.3.7 and Oxygen had it’s update out before most Google Nexus phone owners even got it :)
What makes T-Mod Express more than just Oxygen Rom with Au tweaks?
Well, aside from making it fully compatible with Telstra online services we’ve also included a range of apps to help make life easier. Things like Adobe Flash Player, Google Maps+Navigation, Facebook, Youtube and a neat-o clock! We’ve also replaced the stock Android Launcher with the equally fast – yet more configurable Zeam Launcher. Expect to see more additions in future releases – if you have a request please let us know in the comments!

Requirements
Amon-RA/ClockworkMod recovery to flash the ROM.
Installation
If coming from any other ROM I strongly recommend a full wipe/factory reset, clear cache & clear dalvik cache. ROM is installed via CWM in the typical manner. Upgrading users feel free to simply flash the ROM over your previous install without wipe unless otherwise noted.

Recommended Apps
Well there’s actually not too much as we have the bulk of it included!
codice:
Titanium Backup – must have for backup/restore. Donate version makes it all much easier too (and they deserve it for an awesome app)
SMS Backup & Restore – again, great for backing up your SMS. Check out the automation features.
Battery Monitor Widget – tells you just how awesome battery life is on T-Mod Express ;)
Quickpic – Great gallery alternative. Playing with the idea of making this *the* gallery in T-Mod Express – opinions welcome!
DialerOne & Handcent – great alternatives for Dialer & SMS if you don’t find the stock gear up to scratch.
Menu Wake Patch – Don’t like using the power button? Here’s an alternative! (note – must be flashed after each update)
What’s NOT recommended is task killers, battery savers, that kind of stuff. With every new release the Android OS gets better and better at managing this itself – given we run the very latest Android 2.3.7 there really is no need! These types of apps can often do more harm than good.
HBOOT’s ‘N Stuff
****REALLY IMPORTANT**** I hate to do this again, but Oxygen is now not at all compatible with the Oxygen HBOOTs (even the new one). If you wish to run an optimised HBOOT my suggestion now is the CM7r2 HBOOT which gives us plenty more growing room so hopefully less changes in future. It also gives us a standard HBOOT for all roms-au roms. Details on S-OFF can be found here, HBOOT info here (new S-OFF users please read)
Recovery
I personally use and can recommend 4EXT recovery by madmaxx82. It’s got some neat tricks to keep you partitions correctly formatted and generally works quite nicely. He’s also made an app to keep your recovery up to date from within the Android OS itself (no reboots/fastboot etc!). In practice though, T-Mod Express is compatible with any decent recovery so if you have a favourite you can certainly use that too :)
Things to check after installation
Unfortunately there’s a couple of relatively important settings that we can’t control. We can give the phone the right options – but it’s kind of random about what it chooses on first boot.
codice:
Head into Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks
“Network Operators” should be configured to “Telstra Mobile”

Repackaged for easier install – flash via recovery after each TME install.
Dalvik2SD Script

Got A2SD and still running out of space? This will move your dalvik cache to your EXT partition to free up even more internal memory. Be aware this may cause some performance degradation. Must be flashed after each install.
