Coming Soon!
A Theme/Mod bank will be listed at the bottom of this post as people start trying out the different mods and themes available and telling me which ones work. After all, what good is a deodex ROM if you can't customize the hell out of it?

Well, for those of you who know me, I've decided to finally give Android ROM building a shot. It's a learning process, but I'm picking up on it pretty quickly, and I must say it's a ton of fun so far . I owe my inspiration to the likes of theimpaler747. zenulator, and of course, NFinitefx45. These guys all work hard to bring you great stuff, without their advice, I'd be nothing.
I need beta testers! I've been using this ROM for some time now but I need YOU to tell me if there's anything wrong with it . Please go easy on me, I'm still learning the ropes of this stuff. Any and all feedback is appreciated! If any of you veteran ROM devs come across this, feel free to drop me some advice
Also, I need help figuring out why this version only has 107 MB of free space. Does Deodex really take up more space like that?

Who is this ROM for?
This is for a pretty broad range of people; those who are interested in stock Sense minus the bloat. I've removed a fair amount of bloat, including all the Sprint apps and a few HTC apps/Widgets that I feel are of little value. The ROM is also fully png-optimized, as well as zipaligned. What differs this ROM from my other one is that this is Deodexed, meaning it's open for a lot of the theming mods. You do lose a bit of speed compared to the ODEX, but this ROM is still quite fast.
What is this ROM's base?
This ROM is based off of Nfinitefx45's fantastic rooted .7 DEODEX release (link). While we're on that topic, I'd like to say that all the credit for rooting/getting the base of this ROM out the door is ENTIRELY credited to Nfinite. I take no credit for the rooting process, the addition of busybox, the addition of A2SD, and anything that you see in his .7 thread. Nfinite is a genius, and he has inspired me to create this offshoot of his ROM.
So what do I gain by trying this?
You gain quite a bit of speed, and with this specific ROM, you get the ability to flash third party theme zips. Don't forget to Nandroid before doing so!

Download Link
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/345001/Android Stuff/Deodexed/LiquidSense1.1Deodexed_signed.zip
Addons - I suggest you use Android Commander to push these back in.
Removed System APKs - This contains all the removed Widgets and APKs from System/App. This does not include GMaps/QuickOffice. To use, unzip it, delete what what you don't want, and either adb push it into system/app or use Android Commander to do so. You MUST use these, not the zip from my other ROM.
Removed Data APKs (Coming Soon) - This currently includes Google Maps and Quickoffice. Both of these can be DLed from the market, and it's probably easier to do it that way, not to mention the ones on the market will always be up to date. However, if you'd prefer to save a bit of time, they are here for you. They do not need to be pushed, simply drop em on your SD card, and enable Unknown Sources temporarily and install using a file manager. HINT: If you don't want to grab a file manager or want to save some time, just copy the download URL, paste it in an email message to yourself, and open it from your phone. The phone's browser will handle the downloading of the APK, and you can just tap the apk from the list of downloads to initiate the install .
Removed Ringtones - These are all the ringtones that were removed. The reason they are not in the ROM is because they are better off on your SD card, freeing up a whole 2 MB on your system memory. What I suggest you do (to avoid having to adb push all of these) is to simply make a folder on your SD card with the following path :media\audio\ringtones\ . Put all the ringtones in there, and that way, no matter what ROM you use in the future, you'll always have the ringtones in there . If you'd prefer not to do this, you can adb push or use Android Commander to push them to system\media\audio\ringtones\.
Mods
~ Go out there and find mods! When you try them, let me know whether or not they work. They will be listed here, with full credit to the author for creating the mod, and credit to you for testing it
Liquid's Tips!
~ On first startup, sign into your Google account but don't do Facebook sync. Wait till you boot into the ROM, and connect to a wifi hotspot (if you have one). Once the sync icon goes away, and your google account has finished syncing, then get started with Facebook sync. Remember, Facebook sync, at least for the Contacts syncing, happens in tiers. It'll do, for instance, A-E first, wait a bit, and then it will do F-P, etc etc. Have some patience .
~ Battery! As much as always on sync is, there are a couple things you can do to lengthen your battery life. For instance, for Google, I always leave Gmail sync on. But ask yourself, how often are you adding/removing Contacts from your Google account? I don't do that too often, so uncheck contacts. Also, unless I have major changes to be made to my Google Calender, I also leave GCal syncing off as well. Once it finishes its first-time sync, all your events are there anyway. Next up, Facebook! The big deal for me for Facebook is that I run it once and my Contact images sync together. I'm not a big user of the Live feed. So for me, once my contacts' images finish syncing, I leave both unchecked. These two tweaks will save you some juice
~ GPS! I've found that using the same fix for faulty GPS locks in CM6 in this ROM actually improves the GPS lock time like mad. Grab "GPS Status" from the Marketplace and reset/redownload the A-GPS cache. After I did this, I had a super accurate lock in under 4 seconds using Google Maps
~ Task Killers! In my experience, I've found that task killers tend to do more harm than good. My suggestion is to simply place a shortcut to "Running Services" on your homescreen, and check it periodically. For instance, GTalk Service likes to come up every so often, and when it does, I just end it. For the most part, I've done well without a task killer. Android was designed to manage its memory pretty well! Again, I know this is a debated idea, so take with a grain of salt
~ Random bits:
I've found that pressing Menu while in the Sense App Drawer and switching to List View makes the scrolling a bit faster and smoother
Not using all 7 homescreens? Make sure there's no widgets on the ones you're not using. I've found marginally better performance and battery life from doing so.

Pardon? This is the prep post for the upcoming Deodexed version of this ROM.
It will be uploaded shortly. I'm calling for any mod users and themers to test it out for when it's ready, which, as said, should be available within the hour.

Amazing work. Really fast with no perflock. Everything is smooth. The only thing is, I can't get Live Wallpapers to work. Could you add a flashable zip?

I'd like to try this
A longtime lurker here, I've recently switched from Windows Mobile to Android, but have stayed with HTC Hardware. I lurk a lot, but thought I'd chime in to test this one. Just flashed it with no problems, and it seems pretty zippy so far. I'm also hoping it solves the Facebook contacts issues with Sprint, but I won't hold that against you if it doesn't.
It's my first custom Android rom, so I'm about as basic a user as you can get. I have a pretty tech background though, and used to flash my WinMo phones all the time, so i'm not completely lost.
I'll let you know how it goes...

I've put together a ROM for myself and figured I should share it. This ROM isn't skinned and has as much removed as possible while still maintaining functionality.
This ROM is, of course, deodexed and zipaligned. The APKs have been OptiPNG'd save for the few that became corrupt after this process. This is in an effort to reduce footprint of the ROM and, hopefully, increase overall speed of the phone.

After installation, you'll have approximately 45MB of your internal storage in use.
This ROM does not include a kernel. Find one and flash it on top of this. I recommend GeniusDog254's MixUp kernel. That's what I use and can confirm it works.

10/24 APOPHIS 1.1:

What is Apophis?
If you feel donatey, go here and donate to XDA. I hear you get a nifty star next to your name.
Here is all the removed stuff in one flashable zip. The nice thing about Clockwork Recovery is that by default it does not check for signature. As a result of that, you can download the removed zip, open it with WinRAR/WinZip and delete all the things you don't want. Close it up, flash what's remaining on top of the ROM and you'll be golden. No more screwing around with ADB. Most everything in here is removed for a reason though.
Flashable Modded TouchWiz 3.0 Launcher - 100% Kanged from Schizo's ROM D:
Flashable 'Clock on Bottom' Lockscreen Mod - Thanks kab0b0 - Screenshot
The smaller flashable zips in Schizo's thread should work here as well.
------------
I have included the DRM files in this ROM in order to allow the stock video player to function properly. If you do not want to have to worry about killing the DRM service each boot, download Startup Cleaner 2.0 from the market and disable the startup of the two applications pictured below. You'll need to change the filter in the top right corner to "System Apps" first.
------------
KNOWN ISSUES:
Genie Widget will force close randomly. This has happened on every Android phone I've owned on every ROM. If anyone knows a fix for this, PM me please. $%*& you, Genie Widget.
Time Without Signal
Settings > About Phone > Battery Use > Cell Standby
If you see Time Without Signal in the 30 - 50% range and you haven't been to a no coverage area recently, you're being affected by this bug. Activate and deactivate airplane mode once each boot and you'll see your time without signal percentage fall. This should save battery. (This bug is affecting all DI18 builds. Hopefully Froyo will fix it.)
------------
Greetz:
Boombuler for allowing us to use AppWidgetPicker.
Schizopunk for pointing me in the right direction when it came to several features of the ROM. Specifically the shutdown animation and the Fascinate music player. Thanks, bruddah.
Noobnl for providing the original files this was built from, and essentially making the whole damn thing possible.
Geniusdog254 for providing the kernel that causes this ROM to run well.
Let me know if anyone needs to be added.
We <3 everyone in this thread.

Here's a fail safe install method:
1) Use Odin to revert to a stock install of DI18
2) Flash Clockwork Recovery
3) Reboot into Clockwork, wipe data and cache.
4) Flash the ROM.
5) Flash a rooted Kernel.
I followed the above steps exactly. I got a force close while media scanner was running. After that, Browser worked 100%. No force closes or any kind of errors. I rebooted and tried the Browser again and it had no problem there either.
I'm adding links to a newer version which includes the newest Market and fixes the Pandora force close. If you're on an older build and need Pandora fixed, push the build.txt I'll attach here in a moment to /system/build.prop. Thanks~
Waiting 90 secs for download now! Looks good. Will report any bugs.

I have a themed barebones around 86MB with overclocked kernel,and regular rom that im rockin right now which is barebones with crappy apps removed and competely replaced with better ones,new lwp's,themes,themed swype and themed launchers,i squeezed all this into120MB.

I haven't tested the music player too much. Deleted my SD's mp3s last night by mistake; will load them back up and see what the deal is.
Update: I am getting the force close. Will look into a fix.
Update update: Looks like the other ROMs are having the same issue. Will probably revert back to stock on next push, or would you guys like the modded music with the 4x4 widget? Let me know. Will continue to look into a fix for disc view though; I think this player looks good.

i think the problem was addressed in shizos epic experience rom.. check his thread. maybe theres a fix he can share
Great job, I haven't experienced any issues w/ browser, but I have yet to run hard test.
As for the disc view, the rest of players don't have this feature, so just have to learn to live w/o it. I've used paid mixzing, and the music mod in the past and this one I like better.
I haven't installed SetCPU to overclock past the default 1000Mhz on MixUp yet and I already pull a 1036 quad score.
Only obvious issue I've caught so far is the market is still the older version.
Rom definitely has potential, keep up the good work.

I looked briefly and didn't see anything, but that thread's massive. I'll go through it again and see if I can find anything. Currently trying to find a system dump for the Fascinate... maybe there's another file that needs to be pushed to fix it.
EDIT: I did see a poster claim in Shizo's thread that disc view was fixed in the last release. I just ran diff on his last two versions and didn't see any relevant changes. Still looking for a decent Fascinate system dump.

Please post the barebone (86mb) and let us know when you do..
Here is the "Sparta-ROM" for all "Non-Sense-Lovers". I removed a lot of the HTC Sense / Rosie stuff.
Please report any bugs you may find, so that we can mark this one as stable.
I also would like to know how the battery life is compared to the sense ROMs. Should be even better..

Wow! This rom is awesome. Its got the added functionality of sense like the facebook birthdays to calendar, quick dial of contacts, locations, etc without the bloat that comes with the sense ui and the crappy sense widgets.
So far I've got a good feeling about this one. Gonna try it out for a few days and see how it goes. Thanks Pays.
HTC set-up wizard crashed for me after entering twitter account details. Apart from that ROM is working beautifully, very snappy, thanks PAYS.
EDIT: Does this rom contain the cifs.ko for mounting SAMBA shares?
Please delete this
Here are this ROM's benchmark results for Linpack and Quadrant
Edit: added results for 1.51 Ghz
Can you slip faster kernal (1.2ghz) in this so I can just flash this Rom and everything I want is there.

Hi,
Is "not locations and sync support!" meaning that I can use HTC Sync and HTC Sense synchronisation systems flawlessly with this ROM ?

Yes, works fine now.
im going to be completely honest , after running through a list of apps that i didnt find useful that had NO effect on the system, i find lots of things that i dont want on this rom
but on must criticize first to give credit where its worth...
THE ROM IS BRILLIANT!!!! just wish the Recovery exploit worked to remove those apps i sooooooooooooooo hate... weather etc. unfortunatly it leaves with a bricked phone (so remove the battery and replace it, switch it back on and voila)
yes the apps that i want to remove include launcherpro as i prefer ADW

This is just the first version, we can also make it even more lightweight. Just need some feedback which apps you would remove and if in general people want that removed, too, I will do that or try if the system will run well after removing it. Just install ADW. LauncherPro should not hurt you when you select ADW as default?
certainly pay all for a good cause,
in general stability is good however the acore.android service crashes frequently with no task manager installed etc, so maybe take a look into that
things like the widgets for weather etc, various widgets for myself have no use lol, the raw power is good for me
Does htcsense.com work with this rom?
Thanks.
Thank you very much!!!! This is what I was looking for! Pay87, you rock my DHD!
Things that could have been removed (my opinion) are all these search apps-_- I hate 'em and i have never started any of them. Also News and Weather, Peep and Learn more.
Edit: adfree keeps crashing, unsure if it is the ROM or the oc buzz kernel.

@pay, thanks for big effort, espcially that for beginners page.
I am using this ROM from yesterday and at this time must say that it is AWESOME! No critical issues or crashes. Battery life is good,same as stock Sense ROM, maybe little bit better.
Will be next releases more light-weight (eg. HTC Weather, HTC Music etc. etc.)
Bugs: - Gallery 3D, Messaging and Phone is English only, even if phone language is set to another (eg. Czech)
- In Gallery 3D is impossible to send picture via MMS (Messaging). No picture is added and message will be sent as regular SMS. When I add Picture directly in Messaging app, everything is correct.
Thanks and keep the good work!
GINGERBREAD ROM
2.3.4 EH17 "ThunderHawk" II Semi-Official [Journaled]
EH17 AIO Volume/Hotspot/Lockscreen/Overscroll/Lag Fix
The first rom to combine ALL of these great mods!
Updated 1/05/2012
Updates, Important Notices, and General Information Posted Here!
I maintain RandomROM as a distribution across multiple forums. As such, the bulk of the information, details, etc. is maintained on my site. Rest assured, the links below will take you to aforementioned site where you will find all of the information you require regularly updated on how to use this rom. No subscription required. Always free (donations appreciated, never required). All of my roms, mods, themes, guides, etc. can be found on this easy to navigate site as well as my blog for upcoming updates. As always, I will still answer questions here.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, divorce, bankruptcy, acne, etc. Please do some research if you are a first time flasher BEFORE flashing this rom. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me if something goes wrong with your device, I will laugh. By downloading, you agree to have read all pertinent information provided and to accept any and all responsibility subsequently.
Home Of The AIO Mod For EH17.I have updated and merged necrosan's wifi tether mod and mkasick's volume rocker mod together, as they change the same framework.jar. This means that Sprint Hotspot will work freely without an additional Wifi Tether app, and that your volume rocker can now seamlessly transition from silent, to vibrate, to loud. Included in this conglomeration are also maddoggin's lockscreen mod and qbking77's overscroll glow mod, as well as the CRT animation. This will currently remain known as the AIO mod.
To any rom/theme developers: Feel free to utilize this mod but be sure to reference myself and all aforementioned developers involved. It took a lot of time and effort to make these great features play nicely and it's important to keep the original creators in the loop.
Why Should I Use RandomROM?
This rom is a personal hobby of mine to maintain the greatest battery life that I can. I've scoured the forums searching for the newest and greatest tweaks, mods, etc. to include, and then carefully tested them all for battery performance. I've also made additional changes, developments, and additions all my own. As such, this rom has compiled the excellent work of many great developers into my own ideas and configurations. Contained within are many useful apps pre-installed as well as an effort to replicate my exact setup which has yielded me 0-1% battery loss per hour maximum when idle! On good days it's now beating RandomROM EC05 Phoenix!
All included apps have been RandomKing-Approved to conform with the best battery usage. I'm always on the lookout for more tweaks, possible thematic changes, etc. There should be no issues, but should I happen to find one, I may simply release a patch or quietly switch out the upload version.
Many of you have complained that others achieve much better battery life. The goal of RandomRom is to provide MY setup that's provided me with great battery life. Further details are available in the changelog of post 2, as well as more specific details and usage stats.

First and foremost, a huge thanks to the guys at Samfirmware for making this possible!
This rom incorporates the work of many AndroidCentral and XDA users. Huge thanks to necrosan, maddoggin, sbrissen, mkasick, chris41g, qbking77, optmsprim2, tortel1210, nubecoder, deano0714, and more to be listed!!
Quick Updates, Notices, Fixes, Etc!
You've got questions, here's some answers!
Want to reduce the ram leakage problem? These suggestions may help:
Click here!
Preferences>Advanced Settings>Memory Usage Settings> Uncheck "Use homescreen caches"
Miss Live Wallpapers? Don't really care how much battery they use?
Here they are, push them to System\App using ES File Explorer
Really wish that you could return to the stock fonts?
Click here!
Can't figure out how to make the battery percentage appear?
It's under Settings > Lockscreen Settings > Statusbar Settings
Want the battery icon, and not just the percentage?
Same deal as before, except you have to hide battery icon, and then un-hide it. Wait a moment.
When should I use the AIO mod?
If you're on a rom that doesn't have it, or you flashed an EG22 theme that doesn't include it.
I really miss my old transparent messaging app, can I have that back?
You can now! I've just released a few variations of transparent Gingerbread messaging!
I love RandomROM, but the Framework FC's are just too much to handle and no-one can help me, what should I do?
Check out Phoenix EC05 linked in my signature at the bottom of this post .
How do I use my own ringtone, alarm, and notification mp3s?
Create a folder on your SD card called "media".
Inside of that create "audio".
Inside of that create:
"ringtones" for ringtones.
"alarms" for alarms.
"notifications" for notifications.

Sounds good! I did a quick analysis on it myself to see that everything included runs, nothing more really. I spent most of my time on this trying to include both necrosan's mod and mkasick's volume control mod I love so dear. But it worked for me.
Unfortunately, my phone had to go in for repairs, so I'm stuck waiting now until I can fiddle with it some more.
For anyone interested in the dual Hotspot/Volume mod, they're linked along with any other mods I've made HERE.
thanks much!

This will only cause more battery drain as 1x uses more battery than Evdo, this mod was designed with GSM users in mind not CMDA.
@ OP "2.3.4 v. Final EC05" the name is odd was this a typo?
Are you using the stock kernel? Just wondering if the EG22Plus kernel would be okay, if you have made changes to the kernel i'll stick with what you have.

Thanks A Lot! That worked perfectly, thats weird it didn't update, thanks for your help. Solved my headache.
Ever since my laptop crashed with Vista, which also happened to bork my recovery, I've been running Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) on it. Since I was now running Linux natively on my laptop, I decided to try to cook a ROM just to do it. With that said, I'd like to introduce to you my very first attempt at cooking with Android... Ginger_FauxICS (v.Alpha3.1).
This ROM was built using kushdeck's gingerbread-hero-deck 1.3 as a base. The only thing I added was a Juwell's RAM optimization script which I had modified ever so slightly, ACS's ICSLauncher, and Pins Music Mod. From the Ice Cream Sandwich system dump, I also added the ICS bootanimation, font, and some icons. I also swapped out some pngs in the framework-res.
For that all around ICS look, you can also flash DameonAndMeagan's ICS Ring Lock Mod which you can grab from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312431
This was originaly a ROM that I baked for a friend of mine since my Hero is no longer activated. When I flashed it on my friend's phone, everything worked and it seems to be running pretty snappy.
Please note that I am in no way a developer of any kind. I'm just a dood that likes to tinker with electronics. All I did was piece together different elements created by the hardworking devs of our awesome community. All the credit goes to them.
Some features:
ICS themed CM7.1 (Launcher, Fonts, Icons, etc.)
Ram Optimization
Deodexed
Apps2Ext
and more...
Also here's a video of an older version of this ROM in action:

Requirements:
- Fully rooted (s-off) Sprint HTC Hero CDMA
- Clockworkmod Recovery 4.xxxx and above
- For Apps2ext (Optional):
Class 4 SDHC at the very least
512Mb ext 4 partition
96 MB swap
Changelog:
11/06/2011
- Added more of an ICS look by adding elements from AChep's CM7 Ice Cream Sandwich theme. The theme's official xda thread can be found here:
URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313722a

10/31/2011 (Beta1)
- Updated version of ICSLauncher and other little things...
10/25/2011 (Alpha3.1)
- Initial Release
Installation Instructions:
- Download ROM from here:
http://sirthumpalot.blogspot.com/2011/10/rom-overview-drews-gingerfauxics.html
- Place ROM on the root of your sdcard
- Put phone into recovery
- Navigate to "Backup and Restore" and backup your current setup first (Optional but I always backup just in case"
- Once fully backed up, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache twice. I wipe twice just because I'm OCD like that.
- Go to "Format and Mount" and format boot, cache, data, and system. (If you're curently running and ext4 partition on your sdcard already, you may also want to format the sdext as well)
- From there, flash the ROM (gapps with vvm already baked into the ROM)
- You're done.
**User TIPS**
Per InsaneHien
- ROM can be flashed using Darchstar's Amon RA recovery if you resign the zip using PPCGeeks Android APK & Zip Signer program
- Enabling 16-bit transparency in advanced settings speeds up homescreen scrolling
**Known Issues**
Per gidkid - "When you tap the soft home button on the launcher while on the main homescreen, when you return from the helicoptor view, the soft buttons and the app drawer button are gone. They return with a quick reboot of the launcher, or after some time using other apps..."
Solution: Another solution other than restarting the launcher is also simply pressing the back button. That worked for me anyway.
Also per gidkid - "...while scrolling the app drawer, there are some hangups..."
Solution: I'm not sure how to fix this as of yet as it may be an issue caused by how the launcher app reacts to our phone's device limitations. I'll see if I can work something out.
If you dig this ROM and would like to donate to this project, please donate to the Devs listed above instead (Their donation links should be listed in their corresponding URLs). They work hard to enhance the user experience we get from our devices and for that we owe them a debt of gratitude.

Just like many others in this country, I've been struggling to find work and have lost my house to foreclosure. I believe the political and economic foundation of our great country no longer works for the people as it was originally intended, thus, we must work towards changing the overall state of affairs. We must hold onto what makes this country great. Work towards, once again, having a government of the people, for the people, by the people. We are the 99%. Thanks for reading.

Looks amazing. Always good to see something new around this forum. Thanks! I'll try it out and report back soon. If everything runs well, this could be a great ROM.
Just flashed this, and it was kinda slow until I enabled 16-bit transparency in the advanced settings. Now the scrolling speed on home screen is fast.
Also, this works with Amon's RA recovery. The ROM just needs to be signed so that it'll flash.

Thanks for the tip on the scrolling speed. I'll add it to the original post.
In regards to getting it to flash with Amon RA, did you have to change the script type for it to work?
So far, I'm liking this ROM. It looks nice, and while it was a bit of a shock going back to AOSP/CM after a while with Sense, it was worth it for the ICS looks.
It's not slow, not by a long shot. It's not perfectly smooth, either, and, especially while scrolling the app drawer, there are some hangups, with or without 16 bit scrolling enabled.
The one little bug I found was that when you tap the soft home button on the launcher while on the main homescreen, when you return from the helicoptor view, the soft buttons and the app drawer button are gone. They return with a quick reboot of the launcher, or after some time using other apps, but it's slightly inconvenient while they're gone.
Other than that, great ROM, great contribution. I'll be running this as my daily pending GPS and other tests.

I appreciate the detailed feedback. I believe you can simply press the back button when the soft buttons and app drawer disappear. I'm not sure what causes that unfortunately and I may not be able to look into it anytime soon cuz I have about two weeks to pack up my entire house to move. I'll see what i can do. I'm glad ya dig it. Cheers!

Huge thanks to the development community.
This is Open Source!
Want to make or edit your own personal rom?
Take a look at my personal kitchen!
Known Issues:- If your sdcard does not have a folder called "clockworkmod", you must create it prior to installation. It should exist if you've ever made a Nandroid backup.
- 4G Toggle button exists in scroll-able toggle mod.
- 4G Toggle button is missing from the 9-lock mod, to enable 4g, have to go into Settings>Wireless and Network>4G Settings>4G (turn on 4g) or get a widget from the market
You've got questions, here's some answers!
Can't figure out how to make the battery percentage appear in 9-lock?
It's under Settings > Lockscreen Settings > Statusbar Settings
Want the battery icon, and not just the percentage?
Same deal as before, except you have to hide battery icon, and then un-hide it. Wait a moment.
I really miss my old transparent messaging app, can I have that back?
You can now! I've just released a few variations of transparent Gingerbread messaging!
How do I use my own ringtone, alarm, and notification mp3s?
Create a folder on your SD card called "media".
Inside of that create "audio".
Inside of that create:
"ringtones" for ringtones.
"alarms" for alarms.
"notifications" for notifications.
Ah, Swype.

Unfortunately, since the Froyo version that initially came on our phone, we've been employing the latest and greatest versions with better features. But all of them have still been betas, and apparently this particular one expired today. I do not know if, or how to modify it to avoid expiration. Nor do I currently know where to pickup the next available version. Instead, I recommend doing what I have just finished doing. Install the swype beta installer.
Here's how:
1. First, using a file explorer delete the following files:
- /system/app/Swype.apk
- /system/lib/libswypecorexxxxx.so [the x's stand in for the exact number]
2. Next, head here to download the installer.
3. The rest is pretty self explanatory.
You do have to sign up to be a tester if you're not already, I have been for some times. I assure you, it's a harmless process and won't flood your email account.
I wish I could make this easier, but for some time now, Swype has only been releasing beta versions and they will all expire at some point. If anyone has a newer working Swype I can use in the next version, I'll look into it.
As a bonus, if you follow my instructions, then your Swype personal dictionary will carry into the new Swype beta!
How Do I Use This ROM?
Regularly updated installation information available on the download page.
Random you mentioned in the other thread that Gtalk video works and it does but is that without being able to switch to front facing camera?
EDIT: I know I was supposed to thank you for this rom I assumed you knew I have been on EC05 Hawk. Also was I supposed to say "first"
Looks great RandomKing..
My time on the Epic 4g has passed but my wife still has hers and this is definitely a ROM I will be considering and trying out on her device since she's waiting for me to update her to GB and get off EC05...
Great work!
I was confused for a moment but then I realized that you gave EI22 its own thread. Haha!

I know you are updating the op, but a few things are confusing.
Does this have the aio hack for ei22?
Does this have any theme elements like battery mod?

Nice. Just flashed this after taking the ei22 plunge & putting ec05 to rest. So far, so good!

I'm loving the ROM so far. I've already flashed a few others just to try out and Thunderhawk has been the winner for me so far. I do have a question though: is anyone else having any issues with wifi randomly turning off and on? I made sure that in the settings it is set to never turn off.

This... Not tryina nic-pic but that standard GB batter indicator just isn't cutting it.. I guess my question would be if there is a theme in the theme section of the forums that would work with this rom. I know we are waiting on the lockscreen mod from maddoggin but is there something I can use temporarily?
Also, Randomking, I saw in the other thread that you said it was the TH2.0 Rom that had the sexy black keyboard... How would I go about pulling the keyboard from 2.0 and installing it in 3.0.5? Yes... I'm a newb at all this stuff but thanks to you all, i'm learning quite quickly!

I'm not fully acquainted with framework-res modifying, so I generally wait until I find a suiting one and then modify it in-line with my own requirements. So... soon.
As far as the keyboard, open the .zip file, and under /System/App you'll find Swype.apk. Just drag it into the matching spot of the other .zip. I recommend using 7zip.

It has the AIO Hotspot, Volume, CRT, and Overscroll Glow features, but no Lockscreen mod yet.
When I can put in everything I require, I will remove the WIP tag from the title and fully modify the OP, until then, the screenshots are slightly inaccurate. Working on it. Version 3.1 will be the first full version.
been running this rom for a few hours now with no problem. My 3g speeds are faster on this rom for some reason (im on cricket not sprint). thanks for all your hard work.

Ok... So dont mess with the theming just yet... gotcha...
Now with the keyboard. I located the TH2.0 zip on my harddrive... Opened it, found the Swype.apk and moved it to my desktop...
Is there a way for me to copy the Swype apk to my SD card and push it in using ES File Explorer or will I have to actually drag and drop it into the TH3.0.5 Zip and then reflash?
**edit**
Just tried to push it using EX File Explorer and got mad force closes when I disabled Go KB and enabled Swype... Dragged and dropped Swype apk into the system/app folder of TH3.0.2 and i'm about to reflash... *crosses fingers*
**edit**
Still no go... Flashed using Clockwork and upon the first boot I got a Swype FC. I guess i'll stick with Go Keyboard for now...
I had to use root explorer es wouldnt work for some reason. just copy the file to root system/app
you might try going into settings, applications, manage, all, swype ... clear data.
So it isn't trying to use data saved by the other apk.
what is the best way way to flash this, I currently using ThunderHawk 2.3.4
thanks

I ended up using Root Explorer because when I tried to paste it in using ES, it would paste but Swype wouldn't show up in my list of keyboards.
Can you confirm that the keyboard from TH2.0 is the sexy black one? Is that the one you moved over?

I didn't even think of that, but I also dropped the Swype apk from the 2.0 rom into the system/apps folder of 3.0.5 and then just reflashed the rom and still got FC's as soon as the phone booted up.
I llooved this rom on EC05.
i can't wait for updates :]
i'm getting alright battery life so far. 75% 6h 12m. can't wait to see what you do with it :]
