Added a script as an attachment to this post that walks user through the removal of applications from /system without the user knowing how to use ADB.
I'm very happy with my purchase of the HTC Desire back in April this year, but have always thought battery life could be better and believe it should be the main aspect to improve with custom software.
I've read and experienced good things in regards to battery life with 2.29.405, so decided to make myself a ROM that's based entirely on it, with only removing applications I don't use, adding undervolt for even more battery saving and adding AP2SD which is essential due to the low internal memory.
I thought I would share it in case others may wish to try it out, I highly recommend the new radio.
With thanks to:
Paul - for rooting the HTC Desire
UnrEVOked - for making the above easier and finding ways around the new bootloaders
IEF and co - for the S-OFF hboot
Cyanogen - His Wiki on compiling all things Android and guides on how Android works
Richardtrip & snq- - helped a lot with questions I've had
Teppic74 - Getting me interested in ROM cooking, his modified AP2SD and scaling scripts
iscaela - Undervolt driver
dsixda - for the Kitchen
What you get:
ROM based on 2.29.405 WWE RUU posted here
Busybox (1.17.3)
Bash
Init.d support
NOT deodexed
AP2SD+ via EXT partition (Supports EXT2 and 3)
Read ahead value changed to 128, improves reading speed from the SDCard
Undervolt driver with -100mV on all freq's (Hex edited to support the Kernel from the RUU)
Moved hosts to /data to allow updating via AdFree Android application without the need to have S-OFF (do not use the symlink in AdFree Android)
Perflock disabled (Hex edited to support the Kernel from the RUU)
Updated applications
- REM GSD
Installation Guide
If you do not have an EXT2 or 3 partition on your SDCard, create one before going onto step 2
Copy the ROM .zip file to your SDCard
Reboot into recovery
If you've come from a different ROM, wipe data, ext, cache and dalvik-cache
Flash the .zip file
If you downloaded the ROM Editor script and wish to use it - do not reboot and proceed to step 7. Otherwise reboot as normal
Extract the contents of the ROM-Editor.zip
Run the ROM-Editor.bat file
Select option 1
Read the warning
Follow the prompts on screen
Once applications have been removed, press 3 to exit and reboot
If you've not already installed the recommended Radio, reboot into recovery and install the radio

Reduce Undervolt - Reduces undervolt from 100mv to 75mv, flash if you're experiencing stability issues.

thanks for the update
i'll give it a try
Sorry for my english and for my stupid question but hboot upgrade or not, and is german language supported?
Hi, I installed it 3 hours ago and I'm trying it. It's very fast at now (I put LauncherPro Plus)! So, some question for you:
1) Can I put SetCPU? It will work?
2) If i'd like to uninstall some features like facebook, footprints ecc can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
i waited this really thnx good work
just a question if i am not a fan of a2sd+ and i didnt make an sd ext
if i install this rom it will take more memory than the base rom or what ??
i mean in some roms if it's a2sd+ and u dont have ext after flashing the rom u find that the memory is very low and that's what i'm asking about now..

It's not a stupid question. According to the language menu it supports:
English
English Irish
French
Italian
Spanish
It doesn't contain a hboot upgrade.
You can use German via More Locale2 from the Market, failing that I can try and add German support. I'm surprised a WWE ROM doesn't list German.

1) SetCPU should work yes, this ROM doesn't support overclocking but will allow underclocking.
2) You can remove any applications you want by booting into recovery and removing the .apk and .odex file via adb shell.

It won't take any more memory than the base ROM. Nothing gets installed to the /data partition until you setup phone preferences via the setup wizard, install system application updates via the market or restore backups. Also due to the removal of peep etc, the ROM takes up less space on the /system partition.

thnx 4 ur reply
so now when i flash it even if i dont have an ext it wont take more memory ok
then i install like i always do modinstall location and choose to sd it will work normal like my last rom any thing i install will be in rom and phone remains like it is..

I've never used mod install location so I can't say how well it works, I do know that:
1. Not everything can be forced to the SD Card
2. Some applications like flash, third party keyboards and applications with widgets you use, don't like being installed to the SD Card
In regards to the Mirror, does the multi upload link not provide you with more choices that RapidShare? Unfortunately I'm away until the weekend so there's not much I can do until I'm back.

Hi, I'm here again! Can I deodex your ROM with autodeodex from AmonRA? If I deodex it, then I can remove Application like facebook ecc simply from phone...but shall I remove HTC sense too?
Thank you for posting this

Hi again!
I've removed with adb the application as you said, everything went fine. Deodex ROM give me more pain, so I abandoned this idea. But now I've another question...can I change the BootScreen? How?

Push the bootanimation.zip of your choice to /system/customize/resource, via adb. As its in /system you'll need to do via recovery, unless you're S-OFF and you know how to mount the system as R/W whilst phone is running.

Dont be fooled like I was - at first.
This ROM disables the power button to turn it on from standby.
Perhaps this needs to be bolded or highlighted in the first post as it caused me a few minutes of concern.

Havent root my desire b4... care to shed some light guys? I believe hv to use evoker3 to root rite? how to install this custom rom?
i only know how to install winmo custom rom n android is really very very new to me.
one more last qn, i saw this "undervolt module and script by iscaela". i believe this is to undervolt e cpu when it is not running full hz to save batt but does it o/c e cpu when more computation power is needed?

yes, you can download unrevoked 3.21 which root hboot 0.93 onwards, no slcd black screen issue. i encountered black slcd on my desire yesterday. lol.
after which you can flash any roms via the recovery.
not really sure if goldcard is needed. i made a goldcard from the given 2gb microsd, not even sure it is done properly. it shows 1.3gb+ space.

U do not need goldcard if you are using unrevoked. I used the goldcard for my first Desire (amoled) and used only unrevoked for my 2nd Desire (slcd).
IMO, using unrevoked was much easier.
After u have root your Desire,
1. install ROM Manager from the Market.
2. Download any of the ROM that interest you and save to your sdcard.
3. Use ROM Manager(create ext3 if needed) and reboot into recovery
4. DO A NANDROID BACKUP then install ROM from sdcard. You can restore from backup if there is anything wrong
5. Reboot once done and please wait, as the new ROM requires to build the necessary cache.
Hope this help

does unrevoked works for AMOLED? or is it meant for SLCD only? Mine is the AMOLED bought in May this year.
sorry, really a newbie here. How to root my desire using unrevoked? I already download the unrevoked recovery flash tool and the HBOOT drivers for windows. from the unrevoked webpage, it says "We recommend installing the custom recovery image for all users who want rooted phones." where to get the custom recovery image?
After rooting, is my desire still on the same WWE Asia 2.2 OTA rom but with root enabled?
How do I unroot and get back my stock rom if need to seek for warranty at HTC?
Thread restored due to application of correct credit and updating ROM accordingly.
good to be back. after someone thinks that adding comment and if-else statement in a commonly used script make the script his. all people that i credited are in the first post (and deservely so).
anyway, will post an update to this rom soon.
Thank you very much.
I am so love the official roms.only because i love stable.
And now i found your rom.thank you for your work.
But when i flash it,I found,that you have some change. and iam sorry that i don't like it much.
Iam not means that is not good.only because i want a pure experiense.
also i can remove apks that was not from official roms.but i think you have some changes that i did't found .
so,i am think that:are you will post some roms that base on official rom,and only add "A2SD+ and ROOT"? Of course remove HBOOT and RECOVERY.
Can you do this for me? For someone like rom i say? I hope you can anderstand what i say.
Big sorry for my english.

the difference is that for this rom you dont need to edit your partitions, just flash it as any other standard rom. All fits to nand. For the other one u need to be s-offed and brave enough to edit your partitions.
SO I just copy it to my SD card, and run it thorugh Clockwork Recovery? Any other step I need to make?

yap that is just be sure to wipe davlik cache and user data before flashing. youll still need an ext2/3/4 partition for a2sd

Thanks and I assume, the ext2/3/4 are done through Colock work? I have never done this before .
why do i need to mod my nand to install original RemixHD? all you need is a a ext partition.
so is this for people who do not have ext partition on SD card?

baadnewz, I did zipaligning & png optimising to laputa & the size shrunk from 9.x to 7.x
Now I am doing zipaligning & png optimising to the whole rom.

half of remixhd runs from sdcard, this one runs all from phone memory (nand)
i tried to add a script for ext2sd but no space left in init_d directory??
Very nice work!
The ROM is running very smooth, not even need another kernel.
All Languages are Included, all garbage removed = Love it!
Maybe you can implement the Data2SD thing instead A2SD for improved I/O and nicer Benches scores ?
I tried to do it by myself following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9561327&postcount=601
but at thea Step: tar -cvzf /mnt/sdcard/backup.tar.gz . i got the Message "tar: not found"
Would be nice havin it "Out of the box".
Thank you for your amazing work.

all those commands must be run from linux thats why you dont have tar.
TBH the data2sd is only good in benchmarks and adds more inutile stress to sd card just so you can have higher score in quadrant. In real world you wont observe any smoother rom than w.out data2sd
First of all... Thanks Chainfire!!!! This is totally based on your work.... i made only some MOD....
Ok, the work is quite finished... the CF-ROOT for I9003 is ready!
I called this "beta version" (since i need your tests/opinions) but all might work.
IMPORTANT: This is only for KPH Firmware!!!
You can flash this over any other CWM or over the stock FW.
Many people will ask "Why i have to install this?"... because with this your phone will have:
- Root ( don't need to use SOC or any ZIP);
- Busybox 1.17.2;
- Sqlite3 v3.7.2;
- init.d support (you can put in the folder /system/etc/init.d all the script that you want to be loaded at the startup);
- New fixed CWM ( unyaffs issue has been fixed - offline charge fixed - USB storage mode while in CWM fixed);
- Add EXT4 support to the phone ( so you can convert the filesystem to ext4 to improve performance);
- full working CWM Manager (backup - restore - delete backup - install apk - flash update.zip - flash kernel - reboot to CWM);
- Tweaks Manager with various tweak ( Ram Min Free - SD Speed - I/O Scheduler - Kernel Scheduler - CPU Conservative Governor - Swappiness - Ram Script by Juwe11 - Media Stagefright)---> Many people asked for Juwe Ram Script ---> to enable it completely choose in the Tweaks Manager: Ram Script - Ram Min Free and Swappiness;
- Auto ZIP-Align on boot - You can choose it in the tweaks app(NEW)
- Reviewed tweaks values (some from darky's rom some from hardcore some from other post in XDA)( thanks to bigeyes0x0 and Misledz )(NEW)
- Custom Boot-Animation support (place your custom bootanimation in /system/media/ and call it sanim.zip)(NEW)
To do:
- other tweaks suggested by you...
- whatever can be added.
Let me know what you think
HERE you can find the original post.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1- Flash with Odin the .tar file
or...if you went from a previous version of CF-ROOT
2- Download the .zip file into the external SD the open CWM Manager --> flash Kernel --> select the file you have just downoaded
IMPORTANT:
If you cannot find the two apps on your app drawer maybe you haven't space left on /system so delete some unused apps like aldiko, delere /system/cfroot folder and reboot
IMPORTANT/2: after the flash the phone might take some time to boot. You might think that it freeze on Samsung Logo but it's normal cause the auto-zipalign proc need some time. Just Wait.
UPDATE: Added CF-ROOT with my custom kernel. This have Ext4 inside the kernel (no modules) and OC to 1.1 Ghz. I think that it is secure. I haven't test it very well so please report me the issues you will find.
!
Version 05.09.2011 Changelog:
- added Graphics Boost Tweak (thanks Gana)
- added acid tweaks (thanks to the people that worked on it .. specially Bigeyes0x0);
- reviewed 00tweaks file by Bigeyes0x0;
To disable journaling on ext4 partition apply the attached journaloff.zip in CWM (Not CWM Manager app - it must be fixed).
There're two version of the CF-ROOT, the version with **CWM_Manager** can be flashed with CWM Manager App (select flash kernel) the other with odin (like always)
UPDATE 20.10.2011:
CF-ROOT for XXKPM can be found HERE:
- Standard Version --> http://www.multiupload.com/S463K75UED
- Surprise version ( i suggest you this) --> http://www.multiupload.com/G20L6PL5WC
What's new ?
- I finally finished the custom bootanimation support.... now works like he have to works. Just copy your bootanimation into /system/media and rename it to sanim.zip.... i think that here you can find what you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17322814#post17322814
IMPORTANT!!!
If you have installed the beta version you must know that the ext4 conversion for that doesn't work properly. Ok, system, cache and dbdata will be on ext4 but data not. This because the init binary check on boot if /data have rfs FS and, if not, it format the partition wiping all your data.
In the new version i modified the init binary so it cannot do it more
I must say that i became mad to discover this damn thing !
A few questions: Are you using the latest fixed version of CWM? Also you mentioned that you would be releasing another update soon regarding the Nandroid backup image corruption issue. Is it in this release?
Also: Is this an alternative to ROM manager, apart from the inclusion of the tweaker tool?
Regarding the enhancements, could you please elaborate on some of them and what is safe/not safe to use (particularly in the tweaks and what they do)?
What I understood, after looking over all the posts, was that you optimized the CF-Root by chainfire for the i9003, by using a compatible Root, CWM, and adding an ext4 kernel? Are you going to port the ext4 converter tool as well? Will we be able to use an external SD card with ext4 formatting (Could be used to store files larger than 4GB)?
Sorry about the ton of questions. Trying to learn, and what better way to learn than from the best!
I'm going to take it out for a test drive now on XXKPE with ext4! Will report back later!
Thanks for your valuable work, I'm a huge fan!!!
Cheers
Update: Confirming that the passive charging bug has been fixed! Thanks Skin1980!
I cannot find the CWM or Tweaks icons in the app drawer as indicated in your screenshots. I can access CWM recovery mode using the 3 button combo though.
I had installed the last version of CWM by Amit and formatted with ext4 and I just used ODIN to flash over that install. I tried flashing again, still not appearing in app drawer. Any solutions?
Great job skin.. Hoping for the early release of a stable one.. Will test it later
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Premium App
it's great...>.<
Auguri! Ok wow, This is pure genius . I've always been wondering what our CWM were based off. I guess using this would fix most issues people get when flashing CWM, since it's based off the original firmware
Also I'm loving the tweaks, they seem to make the phone more smooth, Although I've seen a few bugs after applying this I can't seem to use the V6 charger script anymore I get an error, will be posting one shortly. There are some minor hiccups in between and I tend to get FC on some apps when I multitask.
Edit: Turns out It's busybox related, no shell access. I've tried launching Busybox by Stericsons to check and It says no root access was given and boots me out.
i happy that u r belong to this community
Is there any recovery module or tweak available, in which we can handle basic file operation like copy, move from sd card to system or any thing similar?

1- The CWM used is always the last... if i'll update the CWM i'll update the CF-ROOT;
2- The CWM fixed reguard nandroid backup is under test;
3- My CWM isn't ROM Manager compatible... with the CWM Manager from Chainfire you can do a lot of things without going into CWM
4 - to convert in EXT4 just follow the guide on the other thread;
5- Not sure if you can format in XT4 your external_sd... try ;
6- The tweak are all sure... now i haven't time to exlplain better... some don't work.... some other work.
7- If the icon don't appear in app drawer try to check into system/app if the two files are there... if not try to remove /system/cfroot folder and reboot. Maybe your system folder is full so you can install they manually, the original apk are inside /res/misc/ folder.

What your asking for is impossible.
Update!
The problem I had turned out to be due to the lack of space in the "/system" folder - as you had predicted Skin1980! Once I deleted some unnecessary software, I was up and running fully within minutes!
The phone works great! The fixes are really good! Having no issues except for one so far. I can't seem to mound "sdcard" in CWM recovery mode and cannot do a restore, for the same reason, from the CF-ROOT menu.
I have a feeling it's something I did wrong earlier, so I'll reflash completely and try again ('cause I have a lotta time on my hands atm and I want the bestest possible phone I can get).
Note: This doesn't seem to be compatible with DDKB2. Assuming that this is mainly for GB firmwares? Can someone corroborate this?
As usual, thanks!

I did notice that initially it was fast. But as I kept it going through the day to recalibrate the battery, it did slow down and start to lag. I thought it was something to do with that. Also I felt that I had done something wrong with the flashing.
Going to overhaul my phone completely: Format, re-partition, XXKPE install (flashing twice), flash fixed CWM from the other thread, root using SOP 2.1.1, install busybox requirements for deodexing (this failed for me the last few times), restore settings using Titanium Backup, Nandroid backup, ext4 this baby, restore, and then install CF-ROOT to monitor.
Wish me luck! See you guys on the other side... again!

You've got the wrong thread mate!
Your bandwidth is capped by you operator and is dependent on how much they allocate you. On top of that 2G is physically limited to certain speeds which, usually, cannot be surpassed by legal means, and the illegal ones give you too less of a boost vs complications and errors to even bother about (I mean big ass hardware)!

just trying to help people, i have received PM during the last few weeks reporting roms could'nt flash on some peoples devices because they where not deodexed (finally found out the problem) or where having difficulties not knowing how to flash or do several steps in order to keep phones up to date and take the maximum out of their device.I thought it was easier just to make things myself than asking other people to do so.
Also I am preety keen to help others as much as they need, solving doughts as much as my nogledge reaches, making people undertand some difficult concepts or procedures.
I am very sorry if you thought this was a competition, you got reasons to think so. Next time I will let people try to solve there problems by themselves.
By the way, many thanks making this phone rootable for the first time, credits all goes to you for finding a way at last, I am extremely grateful

And this applies to jaggyjaggs rom too
No offense jaggy.
And grill will try to update op. With my theme. And another which I will try and deodxd version or this rom + another theme TRANSPARENT

@Jitin & Jaggy
both of you are doing very good helping people and making custom roms for android noobs like me so never let yourself down...I know how it feels as i myself was a modder for nokia s60v5 series....So whatever happens dont let anything come in your way...just do what you feel is right...
if you want help testing roms and your scripts i m ready to help....I can be your BETA tester...
things are being solved gradually,
now no space limitations, people have no problem now to flash deodexed version. yes deodexed roms have to create extra "code" in dalvic cache but its easier to add tweaks and modify (using baksmali), I am working on it to add tweaks and hopefully make it faster, would love if people experiment with it and could implement them in future roms.
I have tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317
but didn't work as expected, here is my reply in that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22042958&postcount=105
The only thing people are reporting now is the lack of languajes, just european. I haven't got the knowledge yet to extract Roms from RUU and would be great to get them all to .zip Roms.
we could create a thread up to date with the progresses made and the future proyects and who is working on what, what do you think?

Reg. Skins: it seems like HTC tried to make a foool of us by putting skins options as it does nothing.
Reg. differ in Indian and EU version:
In indian, some extra apps + another one which noticed was the space. the space in indian came to be more as soon as i deleted 3-4 apps in indian which were not present in eu version.
+ the difference of bands + there is Hindi language keyboard in Indian version.

Why isn't this thread popular? And what finally happened to jitin02?
cm9 htc a310e
Searching the site I found a few rooted stock roms for desire, but they didn't match my criteria. It's not that I'm some developer with high demands (I'm just, lets say, advanced noob ), but they missed some features that I would like them to have. So i decided to make some of them in the way how I would like. So, you will find 2 almost the same roms in the thread and the only difference is the kernel that I used cooking them (choose what you like, they are both stable).
So here is what you get:
stock 2.3 rom made from official desire RUU
rooted
busybox
a2sd (darktremor method, about 125mb (65mb for deodexed) of free space after installation and about 135 after 'move dalvik to sd' in a2sdgui)
zipalligned
odexed or deodexed
ext4 support
kernel:
supernova kbase_powersaver3_190112_151220
or
SNQv6
notifications dropdown menu with quick settings (no recent apps if you like you can flesh mod from recovery)
no boot sound
Plus I added a few apps (or updated existing) you may find useful (if you don't need them just delete them from system\app folder):
a2sdgui (fully functional)
ad free
android assistant
adobe flash player (latest update 02/2012)
daemon controler 3.3 beta3 (all you need is to install andrev OC daemon from app)
dsp manager
es file explorer
gmail updated
google maps updated
old market (still the best)
market enabler
titanium backup
voice search updated
youtube updated
I also removed some of the pre-installed apps with their widgets (useless in my oppinion):
friends stream
stock
flicker
footprints
Roms are made for stock hboot ONLY!
Do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) before installation, rom will not do that instead of you!
Thanx to:
SNQ and droidzone - for kernels
dsixda - for the kitchen
MrLuje - for quick settings
darktremor and ownhere- for more space
ali8383 - for Arabic support RTL patch
coolexe (found ownhere's data2ext flashable .zip in his thread)
RSK Team - for making Amaze cam available for use

NOTIFICATION FOR DEODEXED:
After installation, when rom settles down, go to a2sdgui, allow superuser permission, and select 'move dalvik to sd', reboot will last 10-15 min (it's normal) and you will get about 135mb free in internal storage.
RTL and Arabic language support (reading & writing) patch (for deodexed only!):
http://www.mediafire.com/?ahs5t3pat3lypoc
Known mods that work on official 2.3 rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204178
Anyway, after installation you can flash whatever kernel you want, as long as it is Sense compatible!!!
Something new!!!
Since I had no success in fitting cm7 hboot with the rom I tried something else. Here is new made rom, with new kernel (Droidzone full battery calibrated #22), with all previous stuff (+TP to wake), but without immediate a2sd. So, after flashing of rom you will have to flash different data2ext method I found (ownhere's data2ext with some modification found in coolexe rom (Coolsense2.1) thread). After all you will have about 500-1000MB of internal memory (according to the size of your sd-ext).
I also forgot Daemon controller so I'll attach it to the thread.
But the first thing you'll have to do is repartitioning your sd card (I suggest 4ext or you can use clockworkmod recovery) like this:
1st partition fat32 xyMB
2nd partition - sd-ext - ext4 - 768MB (the 1st ext that recovery will ask you)
3rd partition - sd-ext2 - ext4 - 256MB (the 2nd ext that recovery will ask you)
NO SWAP!!!
You can use different values for sd-ext partitions, but ext proportion HAS TO BE 3:1 (like my suggestion 768:256)!!!
After repartition of sd card go to recovery and do A FULL WIPE. After wipe flash the rom, and WITHOUT REBOOTING flash data2ext package.
So, here are the links:

One more thing, testing the rom using data2ext I experienced a bug, so if you choose this solution for your rom DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT restart your phone from power menu (pressing power button) IT WILL CORRUPT THE SISTEM!!! Use alternative rebooot methods, for example I use 4ext recovery updater power menu.
I'll try to find the solution for the bug, but I still think that it is a usable rom

RSK Team Amaze cam
According to demands I contacted RSK Team and granted permission to use Amaze cam. So here are the links where you can find Amaze cam as a flashable .zip, flash it from recovery and enjoy!!! As soon as I find some time I'll try to cook something with cam inside.

And for some having neverending sync issue I attached Friendstream.apk, push it to /system/app folder and that should solve it.
Please provide:
-a note regarding differences between these two kernels
-flashable .zip with friend stream and rest of the items you removed
also, a non-OC variant would be nice. But anyway, your work is much appreciated! I thought I'd stick with Nick's ROM but now I think I'll reconsider. At least I'm gonna give it a try
Keep up the good work
p.s.
also the default bootanimation w/o sound would be nice

About kernels:
Main difference is that droidzone gives you some more juice, and the batt should last longer. But with SNQ you can get some more speed, and tweeks. Anyway, rom works fine with both of them. Here are the links so you can see the difference (SNQ shoud be with all mods).

And for non OC I'll find a flashable kernel and post you the link, or you can download kernel from HTC-dev site and flash it from recovery (I think that you will get it as a flashable zip, I'm not sure).
About apps I removed, I'll see what can I do about it, anyway I'll make a new rom with everything.
But I want to point that my main idea was to make pre-rooted stock rom, that has OC, UV and ext4 support, and to remove the apps athat I don't need at all. For example, stock app is always running, and the only way to stop was to use some other app that will kill it, but that means that I have another app that is running and eating ram... And the rest I removed I never used.
P.S. Attached is your stock bootanimation, copy it (with ES file explorer or root explorer) in system/customize/resource folder and replace the exiting, or put it in the same place inside rom before flashing (and, of course rename it to bootanimation).
Thank you!
One more thing. Is there any way to completely remove a2sd from system? I don't need any more internal storage space, and the less clutter the better.
Personally, I'd consider making third, more "stock" version of the rom, without DSP manager, titanium backup and other additional apps, but with all the other default apps (like maps, youtube, flashplayer) up to date, like it is now, and the useful notification power widget kept.
I'd do it myself, but I have absolutely no experience with ROM modding. Maybe you could provide me with a tool that you used?
OK, about the rom, I will try to cook something, but without a2sd you will get less space. Darktremor a2sd works very fast and I had been using it for a long time with stock rom, before I switched to the custom one.
For cooking I used dsixda offline rom kitchen:

Mod for quick settings I found here, there are also different versions but I like this best.

Already tried to make deodexed version, but I didn't test it enough and it seemed that it used more memory. It's in my future plans definitely, as soon as I learn how to make it more sd-ext supported (already told not developer yet - still advanced noob ).

Tried to make Arabic support implementing files directly to the rom but I didn't have success.
You can try do install patch and see if it will work. Plus I added htc flashlight app that I forgot in odexed version.
thank you ,
i will try deodexed version now and i will make Arabic patch and upload .

Not sure what you think with stable until now, is it not stable any more?
Member abokamel gave me a link and I found a package from Madmack's blog, downloaded it and installed on PC. I successfully made all files for patching but after importing them to the rom I didn't get no Arabic in languages or keybords etc. I didn't try to apply a patch after installation and maybe it could work.
Does it work with your RTL? Tell me if it works and I'll put the link in the first post!!!
About TP to wake, the kernels have support for it but I didn't implemented mod inside the rom. You can try to download and flash it from here.

That's where I found quick settings mod.

my friend its stable , i said "until now " becouse i just installed it
For madmac script it just for supporting RTL & Arabic language for READING AND WRITING . NOT whole ROM AND MENU
so after flashing the patch you will can read arabic in browser and email and other application
The original HTC keyboars does not support arabic latter , so you have to install other keyboard that support arabic "THERE IS MANY IN MARKET"
Finally : Arabic menu is not that important for me , what important is reading and writing
THANKS AGAIN AND I HOPE TO IMPROVE YOUR DEVELEPING SKILL TO GIVE A STATE OF ART ROM
SOME PICTURE FROM THIS ROM , SHOWING IT SUPPORT ARABIC
Ali, well done brother, nl00000, another great improvement to include/integrate Arabic language to your amazing rom, but I'm having a really serious problem with ALL 2.2 & 2.3 which is the slide 2 unlock, it's just open the call or cancelled it while I grab my phone of my pocket, so, is there any way to have sense 3.0 or 3.5 answer method?, and battery percentage?
thanks in advance.
Having problems with upload, I tried Mediafire and Fileswap but they kick me out when I have 50% of file uploaded.
Any suggestion?
