KRomE v1.3 updated 9/29/2010
Rom that I cooked using android kitchen.
Based off of my carrier's(Alaska Digitel) 2.1.
See currently supported regional carriers below in 3rd post.
I will try to pull the apn info from all the other regional carriers listed at the PCD site.
CS users for now you will have to add the apn info yourself instructions will be below. I will try to add it in later on I still need to figure out where this info is stored.
About the Update
Updated maps apk to 4.5 but 4.5.1 was just released, also removed the sounds that come included in the rom except for the ones that get selected by default. Apps2SD and SU was updated. I also zipaligned this time around to see if there is any difference.
I am keeping the mods separate for now, they may get included in the future.
Warning: I forgot to add livewallpaper picker when I built the rom so 1.3 is missing livewallpapers... I will update the rom to include the livewall picker and add the 4.5.1 maps update as well. This should be done over the weekend.
Warning2: While testing the new build I noticed that the wifi also isn't working. When you try to start it says unable to start. so the new build will take some more tinkering till it is out. If you don't care about wifi the livewallpaperless version is avilable. But if you need wifi you will have to use 1.2 which is posted under the 1.3 download

CellSouth Based Roms - DangerRom, South Paw!(You will need to push your apn info)
You can use any of the sprint base roms(Fresh, DamageControl, ZenHeroFX, etc.), although you will get a handsfree activation error you can ignore it but gets annoying. You will not get voicemail notifications unless you push a phone.apk from a non-sprint rom. I have tested this with Aloysius and it seems to work without any problems I have not done any long term tests but I did get a voicemail notification and was able to dial out.
More info can be found here
Hey bud, may I call you ken? Nicely done! Looks great, I think ill d/l and give it a shot tonight.

Thats not a problem, let me know how the rom works. I did have one issue with my voicemail not coming up. I am not sure why it happened, but the notification popped up when I flashed the new rom. It could be an issue with the Phone No End phone.apk as it is for a fresh build. I will play around with it some more to get to the bottom of it.
I've been using it all day, and so far its not bad. Heading back to the slope right now so ill write more when I get to camp tonight.

I hate to ask a noob question but I am a noob so here goes. What do I need to do to get Apps2Sd to work. I have not flashed your ROM yet but I am getting ready to and wanted to do whatever I needed to do prior to the flash. I think I have to reformat the SD card or partion it. Going to search for answers but maybe one of you has the answer before I find it.
Thanks for doing a ROM that will work on ACS in AK.
gonna give this a go for alltel, if mms works I will post the apn from the alltel stock for anyone who needs it...
EDIT: Wow, this was like installing a stock rooted alltel rom. Apn all set everything work and even the alltel wallpaper at boot. Can you link me to the RUU for this?
a2sd
Hey JR, back up sd card, format it to fat 32, partition it swap- 0 ext- 512 rest fat 32. Upgrade to ext 3. Toggle ms-dos and the root of sd card should pop up on pc, copy Rom.zip to it and any other add ons you want to flash. Nandroid first, then wipe everything above batt stats and start flashing. A2sd should go in on its own but if not get terminal emulator from market, open it and type su, then a2sd sdcache and it will run alot of script just look for any errors in script. Hope this helps.
Awesome work!
I have an Alltel Hero and I really want to root it but I am such a noob and am afraid of bricking it. Anyways thank you all for the hard work and hopefully a how to root video will pop up on youtube
I'll be watching these forums very closely!

You can get the RUU from the PCD Site This is based on the Alaska Digitel RUU.
But it has 36 different apn info, so it should work with most of the regional carriers I just haven't had a chance to compare the apn info for all the other carriers yet.
thanks for letting me know alltel works I will update the list.

FYI this rom installed with stock alltel wallpapers and settings and worked flawlessly, I had to double check and make sure I didnt accidently run my nandroid restore or something. I am very excited to discover this and begin working. Thank you so much... apperently Alltel must be in the regional carriers list.
cool that your doinng a bit of cooking now. im not a fan of sense but i know a few people that will want this. btw when using sprint roms delete OMADM.apk to get rid of hands free bs
Last night I gained ROOT, tonight I have partioned my SD card and flashed my first ROM. Other than the pain of setting up all the crap over (apps, contacts, settings, bookmarks and such) it painless. Now to see if it makes any difference.
The ROM is woking good on my ACS Hero. Going to keep running it for now. Seems a bit faster and the lag on keyboard and dialer are gone.
Keep up the good work.
Keep it up bud. Your doing a good thing here. Keep tweaking and updating your work. I ran it for a couple days and I'm sorry I haven't wrote about it yet. My phone was having issues with it, ran great first day, then issues kicked in. I went back to aosp, but I'm sure will miss using sense and when that happens I will come back to you. Keep going with it. : )

been running this on alltel for two days nows with no issues... everything continues to work just great... only issue so far was overclock widget for market... set to 710/710 screen on and 122/244 screen off...
seemed to get more lag with it, run much smoother without the widget

Thats kinda of strange, have been working great here for the most part. I have had terrible battery drain the other day but it could of been the combination of the auto killer and widgetlocker. Which AOSP rom are you running??

I guess I should of mentioned that you don't need to use a OC widget or app for this rom, the battery tweak is suppose to manage that depending on the amount of battery life that is left.

flipz(mode) and freshlyill are proud to release: Fresh Rom for CDMA HTC Hero (Sprint) 1.1!
A new year release!
[Home Page] [Downloads] [FAQ] [Fixes] [Known Issues] [News]
Special thanks to the testers / motivators. From xda: n0j, 702droid, toastcfh, abcdfv, 27s, kcarpenter. And from ppcgeeks: thacounty, athlet1c. And of course everyone else!
Base: RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release (Now built off the official RUU!)
Tested with: recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2
In this release (1.0) 12/10/09:
The most noticeable change that people will see is the work that is being done to port Espresso's Rosie over to Fresh ROM. I really like the look of the new Rosie and therefore am putting it in here. If you don't like it never fear. I can assure you that someone will put together a standard rosie theme that will put you back to all green. The pre-kitchen is 100% compatible with this rom. You will see that some parts of the rom are blue while some are green. This is exactly how the Espresso dump is. In fact the espresso dump is even worse! But freshlyill is working hard to spread it out to more applications. We'll post an update when it's ready.
Added: ES File Explorer 1.2.5.1 (i’m liking it a lot more than astro)
Updated: wifi tether from 1.6 pre-3 to 1.6 final
Updated: busybox to remove color codes (thanks to obelisk, I didn’t know this existed)
Updated: ad-less browsing hosts file (dec 22)
Updated: ensured that all files matched what they are in the most up-to-date RUU
Modified: removed the “lock” image from the left screen and left it totally blank (as voted on here. if the lock screen is still showing your old wallpaper then there is a tool in the pre-kitchen to clear the cache).
Modified: espresso inspired rosie (light blue highlights)
Modified: espresso inspired dialer (light blue highlights)
Modified: battery icon
Modified: re-optimized and zipalign’d apk’s after several changes to them
Modified: signal icon
Modified: removed “Sprint” from the lockscreen
Modified: removed the 800×480 images from sdk’s that had them
Modified: launcher to remove the landscape files
Modified: htc contacts to remove the landscape files
Modified: htc weather widget to remove the landscape files
Modified: rosie to remove the landscape files
Modified: htc contacts to remove the landscape files
Fixed: headphone icon (left it out of 1.0 on accident)
Fixed: GPS icons (left it out of 1.0 on accident)
Fixed: speakerphone icon (left it out of 1.0 on accident)
Removed: dropbear
Removed: teeter (i’ll be adding it to the kitchen)
Removed: HTC location manager (for me this has seemed to resolve our phone lag caused by location service. It dramtically cuts down on the heartbeats. but my phone is generally rebooted multiple times per day so only time will tell if this works)
Removed: .bats in /system/app (accidentally left them in from my deodexing)
Removed: astro file manager (keep in mind you will need to uninstall it. I don’t want to force remove it because those people that still use it)
Removed: field trial
Removed: jbed
Removed: learn more (i did this a while ago, not sure when it got back in. lol)
Removed: sprint app updated
Removed: sdsa
Removed: quick office
Removed: html viewer
Removed: im plugins
Known Issues:
If you came from a fresh install rather than an update, the standard clock&weather widget that is on the home page will not pull your location automatically. More information coming soon. Current workaround is to delete it, then add it back and actually pick your location. Don't select "current location." More info and fix here.
Flash player is not working in the browser. More info and fix here.

Flashing this rom should keep all of your personal settings and should not wipe anything but you are doing it at your own risk. I make no promises on what may happen to your device and your data. This also means that unlike winmo, it's not going to look different after you flash. It will look just as it was before hand.
Requirements:
A rooted CDMA HTC Hero by Sprint. RA's recovery loaded on. If you have any questions on that then please visit one of the other various threads on here about how to root your phone.
How to use it:
0. Create a nandroid backup!
1. Copy this rom (do not unzip) to the root of your sdcard using one of the various methods.
2. Go to the recovery program by either typing "reboot recovery" from an adb shell or by powering off the phone and holding Home while you power it on.
3. Scroll down to "Apply sdcard: choose zip" and select the zipped rom. Press the home button to confirm you want to write it.
4. After it finishes (takes several minutes) click "Reboot system now".
Bugs? Questions? Comments? Ideas? Please post here.
my rant about apps2sd:
**My note about Apps2SD: I added support for it in this release of the rom because people who were using it in other roms that tried to install this rom were receiving errors. Here's my point of view on it.
I played with it for over 8 hours today between implementing it and then testing it to make sure this fix would work. I have personally come to not like apps2sd, but I am including it for those who use it.
The reason I don't like it is because it puts your phone at a huge risk of having problems once anything goes wrong. If you install a program that causes issues, a nandroid backup will not resolve the issue because the application is installed on your SD card not your phone. If your phone starts going crazy as reported here and here, then even just a restore possibly won't fix it. You might need to go as far as to wipe your SD card too. If you are lucky enough to have a restore fix your problems you will still need to reinstall every app, even if you didn't wipe your card. And on top of that when you try to reinstall any app it will think it's still installed, even though you restored your phone. But when you click "uninstall" it will just freeze half the time because there's nothing on the phone for it to actually install. I have also read many threads that say if you happen to boot the phone up without the SD card in then it will screw everything up.
So now maybe you are wondering why I would add Apps2SD support in this rom. In order for people who are currently using Apps2SD to upgrade to this rom I must support it or require them to do a hard reset before coming to fresh. Clearly I don't want you to have to reset so I have supported it. With that said: I personally recommend not using it. This rom will auto-use it if your SD card is formatted for it (fat32+ext2+swap partitions) but it won't use it if you are only partitioned as 1 fat32. My suggestion is to stick to the 1 partition and let your applications install on the phone. Linux is not like Windows in the sense that it will run the same whether you phone has 140 megs free of storage space or 10 megs free. So unless you plan on installing 100 apps, I don't see the practical purposes of using Apps2SD. But a lot of people like it.
Now with all of THAT said -- this rom officially has and supports Apps2SD. It is a program that I think has the possibility of being great, but has to work within the confines of the phone which means tricking Android in to thinking that the applications are installed on the phone when they aren't. That is what leads to all the problems mentioned above.
and place holder tres.
New Rom!
Cool cant wait to test
Sweet!! (in best cartman voice lol)
oh oh a new rom!
Can I get fries with that?
can't wait
Exciting! Cant wait man. Thanks!
*crosses fingers for a barebones 1.6*
Hopefully a fix for The apps with the cache prob maybe
hopefully
when is this going to be coming out?
Aiming for tonight. Just hammering out a couple of minor issues!
is it going to be a 1.5 rom or a 1.6 rom?
It is a 1.5 rom.
is it going to have the same theme as stock? or a different one
it will have the same theme. yes

ah ha. welcome back
been running this rom for a couple mins not bad at all. good thing i backup my paid apps for such occasions.
There haven't been too many releases lately, so I've been waiting for this rom like a crack addict.
The fact that paid-apps are missing is keeping me from flashing it.
Awesome work though Eugene, I'll def be flashing the next release.
Will do...
I will flash tonight and see how it works out....so far the espersso roms are looking nice, I bet they will kick arse as soon as the bugs have been sqaushed!!!

you can backup your apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5217198&postcount=4) then just install them.. unless you buy apps EVERYDAY.
Added Screen Shots For those That Prefer to see the Rom before Flashing.

I just Posted That, As I've not truly Tested it...
The Phone I'm using ( G1 ) has no Sim Card, and Figured it would just be easier to say it didn't work, then to say Paid Apps work w/o Testing it...
Glad to know Paid Apps are working, can anyone else confirm this as well?
If so I'll Update the OP.
~Edit~
Paid Apps is working correctly via Twitter

(The latter of which it got fairly quickly.) i'm still giving it time to sync up, but from what I can tell it's responsive after you get through the setup process, but that you only need to limp through once.
During setup I got some kind of crash out of HTC Media, but I ignored it and considered it unimportant. Haven't heard anything out of it since.
I haven't put it through it's paces just yet, though. We'll see how it goes from here.
Very nice work, Eugene!
Edit: One thing I have noticed consistantly with 2.x ROMs is that they all seems to HATE Twidroid PRO for some reason. What gives? :\
Testing of V2
Flashed after doing full wipes on my G1. It asked me to link to my google account about 10 times, then altter the Setup Wizard crashed and after a reboot it had my information already so it let me go through.
I linked my facebook account and the messages were being displayed correctly, all was working good.
One thing I could not get to work was SU permissions. Did everything to try and make it work but it just wouldn't show anything, no FC it just didn't start the application.
Looks great overall and after disabling some animations and widgets it was running smooth (no more random FC).
Can't wait to see this with less bugs. Great work!

Re-Wipe Data/Cache /SD/EXT & Dalvik, then Re-install. As you shouldn't had those error's.
Also, Download terminal & type SU to verify if su is working correctly. Just did it on my build installed on the g1, and SU is working fine.

I did and it was working after the next reboot.
I'm actually testing the trojan hero build and I have to admit it's really good. I'll install that on my brothers phone, looks really stable and bug free, been looking for that for a while. nice work man.
Looks and works goooood!!!
PLEASE CONTINUE ALL ZENEXP-0.9.7 DISCUSSION IN THE NEW ROM THREAD OR ON ZENROMS.COM WE WILL NOT BE MONITORING THIS THREAD ANYMORE.
This is a port of the new MyTouch 3G Slide with the newest Expresso UI.
This is based on the newest expresso/sense frameworks with built in theme switcher and customizable number of home screens (5 or 7) and landscape Rosie, Htc Music, and Weather
Just to avoid any confusion this is a ROM from the HTC Expresso / MyTouch 3G Slide. It's not a theme over the Sprint 2.1.
They way this ROM looks is completely stock aside from removing the pink Tmobile icons and branding and changing the notification bar.

I'd like to give a big thanks to toastcfh and zippy-man for this release. With out zippy-man we'd still be on 0.9.4.2 and without toast's kernel we'd still be running stock.
/Begin rant
You don't need a partitioned sdcard to run this. But you do need your sdcard partitioned if you want A2SD and you need to wipe your ext partition before flashing this rom. A2SD is automatic on all 0.9.6x builds. Your dalvik-cache will stay on internal memory if you use A2SD. It's more stable that way and honestly makes more sense. Just for the record not using internal storage does not mean that you'll have more ram to use. Nand (which is your internal storage) and RAM (which is your memory) are two separate things. You have plenty of space on data. Using it isn't going to slow your phone down. I can understand the need to move apps to your sdcard because you can run out of room on /data with a **** ton of apps. /End rant

How to use overclock widget instead of setcpu:
Download it from the market and add the widget to your home screen.
Tap on the widget.
Goto advanced settings.
Make sure "Use your frequencies" is checked.
Tap on "Detect frequencies". Scroll down to the bottom and tap save.
Tap on the overclock widget again and you should be able to set your frequencies.
How to use setcpu:
Download it from xda it's free for xda members: Link or Buy it from the market.
Once installed it will ask for root access. Superuser will pop up. Pick always allow.
On the device selection screen scroll down to Custom Frequencies. It will read the values from the setcpu.txt installed on your sdcard.
Now you should be able to set your custom frequencies. I've found max 691 to be the optimal. YMMV
OpenOverclocker in the market also works well although it's very basic. Only two sliders to mess with min/max.

Just looking, seems like changing to launcher can change the stat bar as well?
that would be sick.
Oh it's pretty sick. Just needs some more love. But I thought I'd let you guys at it. Things seem to get fixed faster that way. Upload will be posted after I make sure it flashes cleanly.
Ok Download is up.
tether works?
the dialer looks yummy
Like I said I haven't tested it much. So post what works and what doesn't. Maybe people can throw out fixes.
cool man thanks hope somebody can tell me tether works?

You think so?? I still think ours is better. I'm definitely going to color it up a bit. The black looks decent, but overall, it just looks... flat.
DLing now....
I feel special i got the 1st dl
Before i flash this real quick, i was just wondering if it had lwp, and
the stock clock speed of the slides cpu,nvm googling the speed
but cant find whether lwp is supported or not....If you get a chance
to respond, thanks.
EDIT:
If they arent in there im going to add the necessary files from before
from the sprint builds before i flash to see if it works.

No live wallpapers yet and this is the standard 2.6.29 htc kernel. So it's not over clocked or anything. Later on I'll make an update to flash the overclocked kernel. I don't have a lot of time to work on this stuff anymore. So hopefully people pick this up and add too it.
Geek For Me is proud to release:
Fresh Hero 2.4.0 for your Sprint Hero
NOTE: Remember that Fresh Hero is considered a stable every day rom, and Fresh Toast is a dev rom that may have issues. Also (in case there is confusion) Fresh Hero is for the Hero and Fresh Evo for the Evo. But I think that's self explanatory.
Also FYI: the phone may freeze on very first boot at the lockscreen, or it may get to the lockscreen and then reboot one more time. This should only happen on the very first boot after flashing the rom (if it happens at all).
If you are coming from Fresh Hero 2.3.3 then no wipe is required. You can grab the incremental update (10 mb) to go from 2.3.3 or the full update. The full update is required if you are coming from any other rom. If you are coming from another rom then a full wipe may be required. Always make a nandroid backup, I can't be held responsible if something breaks, etc, etc.

Added Fresh Updater! Check the How To for information on setting it up and using it. This project has been on the back burner for months, and I’m happy to finally have brought it back and finished it up. Thanks to cyanogen and firefart as it’s based on CMUpdater. Use Fresh Updater to enable the vanilla lock screen.

HTC_IME Mod High Res v.27 keyboard -- This keyboard has a ton of features. I have included this keyboard and the stock one. To change which keyboard you use just do a long press on a text input field.
All APK's have been png optimized and zipalign'd
png optimize goes through every APK and losslessly compresses the png (picture) files without causing any type of visual change. This provides a smaller apk file size that loads faster. Each APK has then been zipalign'd. From Android's developer page: zipalign is an archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
While this does free up space on /system it is not done to make free space. It is done purely for a performance gain. Every day use of the phone will go smoother and stock applications will respond faster. The reason this works is because it has reduced the application file size as much as 50%, so they load in to memory faster and run smoother.
Additionally all applications in /data/ (even ones you downloaded) will be zipalign'd on boot if they need to be.
Not every apk takes png optimization + zip align well. I've done it on enough roms that I think I know which ones cause issues now, but if you are getting FC's on any apps (I can't test them all) then let me know and I'll get it resolved. Thanks!
Entire rom has been resigned.
Major thanks to jschisurf for help on this. The process changed from Android 1.5/2.0.1 and I was getting errors where I had previously never had problems. He helped me figure out what I was doing wrong.
Resigning all the apks allows for non-standard apps to be used (like FriendStream) and also provides a standard based for modding apks.
Apps2sd updated to Darktremor 2.7.5p2 by tkirton.
Apps2sd takes all applications from /data/app and /data/app-private and moves them to a partition on your sdcard. This allows you to store more apps on your phone and also allows you to restore your phone and keep all your apps in tact (albeit with all settings lost). Although sometimes wiping sd:ext is required too.
You do not have to use apps2sd if you don't want to use it. If you just don't format your sdcard with an ext partition (leave it all as fat32 like it is from the factory) then apps2sd will stay turned off.
How to setup apps2sd on Fresh and warnings about apps2sd
Battery optimizations
Raised VM kernel dirty page writeback frequency to 15 seconds. This wakes the phone up less often for background VM activity. Every single application in Android is technically running in a VM (virtual machine) so that's why this helps (as recommended by lesswatts.org).
Updated Google Maps to 4.3.0
Updated Launcher Pro to 0.6.5.1
Updated Estrongs (ES) File Explorer to 1.4.2.2
Wifi Tether 1.6 -- This is not the newest version but in my experience it works best on the Hero. If you are getting a FC in wifi tether then it's because you have another copy of it in /data/ with a different name. Therefore you ended up with two copies. Remove one of them and reboot.
Facebook moved to /data/ so that it can be uninstalled
Dancing droid boot screen thanks to wrx4memp!
Added PowerTOP 1.11. From LessWatts.org: Programs can make your [phone] use more power. PowerTOP is a Linux tool that helps you find those programs that are misbehaving while your [phone] is idle. — Compiled by cyanogen.
To run PowerTOP just open an adb shell and type: "powertop -d". It will scan for 15 seconds and then print out a report.
The first section will show you what % of time your phone spent running at what Mhz. Ignore the Mhz in the screenshot above because it's from my Evo so it will look a little different on the Hero.
The next section shows wakeups-from-idle per second. 50-80 would be normal. If you are in that range then you don't have a problem.
The next list is the top causes for wakeups. Compare your list to mine (I only showed the top 3).
All the way at the bottom it will have optimizations that can be made to lower power use. These changes can not be made to the rom itself, they must be made to the kernel. While other roms claim they made changes to the kernel, if they are using the stock kernel (if they aren't over-clockable then they are using the stock kernel) then they didn't. While there is a kernel source available to us, I have chosen to continue using the stock kernel until our official source is released by HTC for stability reasons.
I have chosen to NOT include adless browsing in my rom. I used adless browsing in all of my Hero Android 1.5 roms because it actually blocked ads from the browser. In Android 2.1 this functionality stopped working so I stopped including it. It was pointed out to me that while it doesn't block them in the browser, it does block them in apps (background data). The reason I am choosing to not include this is because as a developer myself, I feel that the authors deserve to get paid for what they do if you want to use their app. If you are choosing to use their free ad-driven application then I don't want to contribute to people blocking those ads and preventing the dev from getting paid.
Stock vanilla lock screen has been customized in the following ways:
Fixed to work properly by flipz
Emergency button showing up after airplane mode fix by flipz
Menu-menu to unlock disabled by flipz
Clock / Sprint / other misc stuff removed thanks to jschisurf!
Added live wallpapers back to Rosie. . Keep in mind that you are using lwp "at your own risk." They may use more battery, they may cause wake issues. And only the lower end ones will work properly. This is not the fix that breaks opengl to allow you to use the more visual ones. Stick with the ones that just draw on the screen (a few are included).
flash_image for flashing RA
Quickboot works... for those who use it!
Espresso bottom bar in green
Full color sliders (see screen shots)
Removed (copied to /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks):
The following applications have been removed, however I am trying something new. I have the installer copy all of these applications to /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks. This will allow you to easily install the applications by clicking on them in ES File Explorer, or by copying them to /system/app for the ones that won't install that way (HTC's apps don't play nicely with installing). The applications marked with a * can be installed in one click by clicking on it in ES, the ones marked with # aren't included because they don't need to be reinstalled. The rest you will have to copy them to /system/app. This can be done by issuing the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell
cp /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks/WHATEVERAPP.apk /system/app

What to expect / how to flash it / READ THIS :
Download and copy the zip to the root of your sdcard
Reboot to RA and do a data wipe / factory reset (REQUIRED)
You may also need to wipe sd:ext if you are having troubles booting.
If you are running Fresh Toast and ext4 then you'll need to partition back to ext3 if you want to use apps2sd
Pick flash zip from sdcard and select fresh-hero*.zip
After it finishes flashing reboot. Expect the first boot up to take a while.
If it boot loops over and over (you keep hearing the startup sound) then you didn't wipe everything.
When the phone boots and comes to the user setup screen I would recommend syncing your google account right away. I noticed an old bug creep back in where it gets stuck during sync. This seems to be avoided by adding your google account during setup.
The more social networking stuff you have setup (Facebook, twitter, friendstream, etc) the less battery life you will get. These programs do not have a "push" function and work by checking every single one of your contacts to see if they have an update.

Awesome. Flipz, you're my favorite! What are some of the bugs that you want to work out?
Are you or should I say can you(not sure what kernel this uses) move this over to Fresh Toast or will that project not be effected by the leak?
I guess what I am really getting at is if this is going to delay Fresh Toast further or if it is looking good.
friendstream in this?
Since this isn't OCd I'm gonna jit it and see what happens. I flashed damage's flashable ROM earlier and didn't care for it. I'm too use to the OC speed and quickness that it felt like it was in slow-motion.
THIS BOOTSCREEN!
flipz you're the man, for real
Only thing that worries me about modding this Flipz, is /app and /framework are .odexed.
Ok, been using this for an hour-ish now. Just found an issue. When viewing photos, if I rotate the phone, no app (photo viewer, gallery, etc) will rotate. Checking and auto rotate is turned on.
Can anyone confirm?
Edit: Crap. I'm seeing 100% wake time too.

grr...so does this mean that...like all the mods and themes have to be completely redone??

It may or may not. Only way to figure it out is to backup and try it.
ditto on the awake time well back to old faithful til this is fixed

Also (and this is the cause of the wake time issue) we're back to the GSM issue in *#*#4636#*#*
If you manually change it to CDMA auto PRL the wake time issue goes away.
can anybody confirm apps2sd works moving dalvik too on first boot? i tried and couldn't get it on a rom i was building?
damn more awake time issues and i heard a few say sound issues too. do you guys really think this is the final? any thoughts flipz?
good work btw and fast.
and just to let you guys know i had no issues applying several of my themes to this leak today.
Finally got these finished and running stable and fast. Im gonna call this a 'beta' for now only cause its my first release with this phone, but after running this rom a kernel for a few days, i have encountered no issues at all. Both are inspire based, and the kernel is built from inspire source. Since this is first release, this will wipe all data, so back your apps up with titanium backup if you want, it comes with this rom, so you can reinstall everything soon as its done flashing.
Remember, this is only v.01, and it WILL get better and faster as time goes on.(its already pretty fast though)-
coming soon-
no sense version- new thread for that version
more kernel tweaks
clockwork flashable zips for stock animations, stock fonts, and possible gps fix for the few with problems that was posted in here are attached to this post..-ANY FRAMEWORK MODS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH V2 YET
Flash this through clockwork recovery after your phone is rooted.
1.0+ wont wipe data, if your coming from a different rom, its recommended you flash the full-wipe.zip to avoid any issues
note if you want to flash a new kernel-
not all kernels are compatible with fugu mods(credit to nikademus-i9000 forum for the initial find)- ask your kernel dev if the kernel is compiled with config_oabi_compat. if its not, it could cause issues and youll lose your bootanimation. FWIW, it will boot without that config, but its recommended for full compatibility)
DO NOT RESTORE ANY /SYSTEM STUFF FROM TITANIUM BACKUP-IT WILL CAUSE ISSUES
DOWNLOAD-will not wipe /data
v2.0 w/ di11pickle kernel(fugu tweak compatible)-

-simple, clean bootanimation + shutdown animations
-init.d(run scripts at start)
-all new, non-zipaligned apps in /data will zipalign at boot
-no h+ data icon- h+ icon is now just matching green H(a white H would be equivalent to when your phone is just showing h, not h+)so
green H=H+ connected
white H=H connected
Kernel featrues-(2 versions)
included version-
-built from inspire source
-disabled a bunch of kernel debug stuff(less kernel overhead,=faster, more battery efficient
-init.d enabled
-compilation optimizations
-default shed.=noop(better for non-spinning disks)
-ro.secure=0----=adb run as root
(overclock/undervolt + more optimizations coming soon)
optional version-
all of the above+
-/data and /cache will mount as EXT2 instead of EXT3.
EXT2 is faster, and should be a little battery efficient. Stock configuration is EXT3, data-ordered(not data-journaled). ext 2 is a more simple file system with no journal, and was the default linux file system for a looooong time.
disclaimer- this is a very minute, and maybe even non-existant possibility-
in the case of sudded power loss(battery pull), there is a chance you could lose data, or data becoming corrupt(if you were in the middle of writing to /data). I did MANY tests of different scenarios while pulling the battery out of the phone. I lost nothing and had absolutely no problems. I did this many times, and this is the kernel ive been using for the last week or so, and its been 100% stable and fast. quadrant is around 2200 with no OC. If for some crazy reason there is some kind of data loss, its not a huge deal, worst case would be a wipe data/factory reset from clockwork or reflash.
i will be updating both of these with different things, and probably have some
test builds as well.
If you dont want the window animations, turn them off in display settings, i will also have a flashable zip up tomorrow with the stock window animations.
To tether, search for the apn you need, its in the inspire forum somewhere. If anything is missing that you want back, let me know ill make a .zip
(eg, the ereader default books are gone, stock font, etc)

I'll flash this tomorrow first thing. Your Captivate ROM is awesome and I know this will be, too.
CM7 Inspire 4G
Might have to give this a go. Always glad to see a captivate dev over here.
Oh yeah !!!! Ive been waiting for this ever since I heard you had an Inspire.Downloading now.Will report back soon.
Flashing now, will post results this evening -
Thanks -
im off to bed, gotta be up in an hour..lol
ill check in in the morning.
Looks really nice, I will definitely be checking this out in the morning.
Thanks!

Wow you really outdid yourself with this.Its beautiful, smooth,fast and has all the right touches.Gonna flash the optional kernel tomorrow night after Ive had a full cycle on this one.
And Im so happy to have the black google search back.Its almost invisible with the right background.
had your captivate rom and it was awesome, as soon as i saw this i had to flash it lol looks good!
Downloading now!
As you can see below on my signature, I still run one of your roms in one of my Captivate's that can't be beat!
Cant wait to try this one out.
A couple of questions:
What radio do you reccommend for use with the rom. I did not see it listed. Sorry if I missed it no coffee yet!
Has any audio boost been implemented? Or can it?
Call record was awesome on the Captivate, will it work on the Inspire? Can we just flash the old one in?
Glad your rom is in the mix!
Thanks.......
Alright I couldnt resist.I flashed the ext2 kernel.Definitely seems a bit zippier.
Downloading now. Loved your Captivate work.
Running with the optional kernel and all not a hitch so far. I will let you know how it goes. If anything like the othgers you have done it will be a winner!
Is there a reason Development does not default to on?

I just use the stock radio, haven't tried any others so I can't really say. Stock has been fine for me though. I haven't changed anything related to sound in kernel, but its been ok for me, actually pretty loud. If you guys flash and feel it needs a boost, just let me know and ill try to get it into the next version. Call recording I almost guarantee will not work straight from the captivated due to the lib audio files, which will most likely cause a boot loop. I'll look into it and see if I can get something similar forth inspire, it'll just be A LOT harder than the captivated; probably has to be built from scratch. But, going through some of the files deep in the Rom I saw some code or something about call recording(I can't remember where, but I only decompiled a few framework files so I have a general idea. I'll see if I can find it and see what its about.

Do you mean debugging? If so, its just cause its the stock settings, and that's what out defaults to. I can easily change that in next version.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
Looks awesome, So glad we now have a 3rd option for Inspire base rom. The Inspire roms run much smoother IMO. Your Captivate roms were the shizzle, I have high expectations for this in the future and I'm sure you will deliver
We appreciate your hard work! Im going to flash this soon
EDIT: quick suggestion im going to throw out there, maybe you should name your rom? Give it a fresh name it will draw more viewers scanning the Development section
Just a thought throw it back my way if you don't like it. Also remember to put [ROM] in the title, i almost missed it scanning for roms

Earpiece is fine but speakerphone is still lower than I would like. The only one I have found the speaker phone is good is Rev b2
This is very very smooth so I will keep it on for a while to keep testing.
Anyone have a cure for the low speakerphone. Already tried the posted fixes....

Yes I just noticed on most of the other roms it is defaulted to the ON and this one was off. No issue at all. The volume on the speakerphone seems to be an issue for everyone as far as I can see. If you have a solution to that I am sure the world would be grateful! Thanks!.......
I was just on the speaker phone and it sounded fine to me. I'm using the m3 radio don't know if that matters.

OK i just in stalled this on my phone and its perfect so far. I have been using it for like 5 min now and absolutely love it. I know its to soon to be saying this but i had to post how nice this rom is so far.
