CleanROM 2.1 - 7/26/2011

Many new enhancements! See Post #2 for flashing instructions, prerequisites and change log!

CleanROM was designed to be a cleaned up Sprint Stock ROM. I removed all of the Sprint bloatware and made some minor changes under the hood. I am using the picasticks-07 kernel for overclocking. The ROM defaults to a safe 748MHZ but can be pushed as far as 846MHZ. You can change the clock speed to your liking with a program like SetCPU. You can also use this or similiar programs to return to the stock speed of 600MHZ and still benefit from the improved kernel. I have also added an updated HOSTS file for ad blocking purposes. Other than that its a pretty pure Android ROM. The only added apps are Hotspot Widget and Quick Boot (Reboot). Enjoy!

Feature List

Working Hotspot Functionality with Hostspot Widget
Latest version of all apps Inluding Android Market and Google Music
Circle Battery Mod
Reboot App
159 Megs of free Internal Storage for apps
Ad Blocking via HOST file
Removed All Sprint Bloatware
Picasticks Overclocking Kernel safely clocked at 748
Swype
Visual VoiceMail

Looks great Scott. Congrats on your new release. Wish I had an Optimus to check it out

Hey Scott, My optimus is my first Android phone and it is NOT rooted. I have been thinking of rooting your release for the simplicity and for the wireless tether but was concerned about problems with rooting.
*Can the phone still OTA or download new updates from sprint such as If Gingerbread rolls out for Optimus S...will there be any problems getting the update.

Would sprint know or ever figure out if I'm rooted with wifi-tether?

Please forgive me if my questions are out of place here on your thread.

This is my first android phone too! But no, your questions are plenty valid. I am sure others are wondering the same thing.

As far as OTA we would have to see. It would probably work but... its also pretty easy to revert back to stock ROM configuration so we would have to cross that bridge when we come to it. Im not worried about it all because I know its easy to go back to full stock.

AS far as Sprint figuring out your rooted... Highly unlikely unless you need to take it in for service. Which in that case... See above ;c)

As far as wireless tether... I think we are good there too. I know LOTS of people on this forum that use wireless tether on Android devices (WM too!) and Sprint has never said a peep!

Feel free to ask away.

-Scott
