I've been promising some kind of usable Sense 2.1 ROM for old radio 32A for a while, so here's at least sort of "alpha" release for those of you that are wondering about the new Sense UI but didn't "move on" to the new radio just yet, like me. It's not perfect, but I find it quite usable.
Thanks to nprussell and sanpei (and ahmgsk) for creating the base we could build upon.
The ROM to me doesn't feel yet like something that should deserve a 1.0 version number, hence the "alpha" status for now. It's got a few quirks here and there and some things don't work, but other than that I must say I quite like it. I've been running it as a day-to-day ROM for a while now. So don't be alarmed too much by the "alpha" status - if you don't mind the issues the ROM has, it's actually quite nice. Also, it's not the fastest of the bunch, but it's not that slow either. Also seems quite stable. Tested only on my phone so far, though (see my signature).
I'm not promising frequent updates (so please, don't expect them), but I'll try to work on it as time allows. I think the Legend RUU is the best 2.1 Sense UI available.
What's in the ROM and works without problems:
- The ROM should be multilanguage (tested English and Czech).
- 3D works great (see the second post for screenshot).
- Multitouch of course works as well, including the new "pinch home screen" in Sense UI.
- Google Maps replaced by the latest Google Maps modified by brut, thus multitouch works in them as well. And there's of course Google Navigation thanks to brut as well.
- Market Enabler added.
- Nexus One boot animation.
- Added some notification sounds and ringtones, all in Ogg instead of MP3.
- Default analog clock changed to Pulse clock (yeah, again )
- GPS, compass, accelerometer, all that jazz.
- Google and Social network sync, SIM contacts, Friends stream, animated weather on home screen...
What's known NOT to work:
- Bluetooth. At all. Yeah, here we go again. Sorry.
- USB mass storage. I've added the "USB mount" application to work around this issue.
- Autobacklight (obviously). It's enabled after install, though (the build.prop option to disable it by default doesn't seem to work for some reason).
- No app2sd, no swap, no nothing. For now. Swap and/or compcache might be added later (though it seems like the ROM does not really need it).
Quirks and known issues for v0.5:
- Not really an issue, but - the startup, especially the very first one, is quite long! It can take several minutes. It's even longer on v0.3. So have patience - if the boot animation is moving or the "unlocking SIM" spinner is spinning, it's still booting.
- Editing APNs may or may not produce FC and/or crashes.
- LED notifications. Orange LED doesn't work at all and the apps seem to be using only green LED for all notifications (even if the app uses different color on regular 32A - ie. Twidroid's blue notification light becomes green).
- Keys backlight doesn't work.
- Camera. If you take picture, the preview sometimes doesn't show up at all and when it does, it's in black & white. The thumbnails of the photos you took with this ROM in gallery are corrupted (several different issues). Even though there are these several issues, the actual photos are fine! You can view them on the phone fine, you can upload them fine (Here's one I took today and uploaded to Picasa and Facebook with this ROM)
- Camcorder. It seems it can be made to work if you set it to record video without sound. If you enable sound, it'll freeze as soon as you press the Record button.
- Because the Legend ROM is quite big, there's slightly less space for your apps. Nothing drastic compared to other ROMs, just saying.
- Sometimes, when the ROM starts up for the very first time, after completing the setup wizard you get the Sense home screen that is "incomplete", ie. doesn't contain the default flip clock and other widgets seem to be missing from the ROM as well (you can't even add them manually, they're missing from the list). If this happens, just go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications. Find HTC Sense in the list, click on it and select "Clear data". When you return to your home screen, it reinitializes itself again and this time everything should be as it's supposed to be (and stay that way).
- You tell me...

v0.6 Hero "sidestep" edition - stand-alone full wipe ROM
MD5: 8ceec3d730448b7ee97f09a35be7fb60
Description:
- This is a stand-alone "side project" ROM not worth its own thread. It's NOT meant to be the successor of WLegend 0.5! There WILL eventually be WLegend 0.6!
- Based on Sprint Hero files. It's not based on one specific leak, it's a mashup of different leaks including the official OTA.
- The fastest Eclair ROM I've seen, including vanilla Eclair (yes, I think it's even faster than CM5-test6 and certainly less power hungry, even though it's Sense)
- This ROM is English only except for keyboard input! You can set a different locale with MoreLocale2 (included), but it'll only affect non-system apps. The system itself will always be in English.
- Modified to remove the CDMA Hero quirks - you can dial numbers in international format just fine and you can also hide SIM contacts (
- The very latest (today's) CM 2.6.33.4 kernel with BFS and OC to 576MHz (it's perfectly safe)
- Thanks to Cyanogen's effort, we now have photo preview in Camera fully fixed. Thumbnails are still corrupted, though. And Camcorder still works only when not recording audio.
- Latest (I think) Brut's Google Map mod and HTC_IME mod by jonasl.
- Suffers from the "uncomplete home screen on first start" issue - please see the known issues for WLegend 0.5 above for workaround.
- Other WLegend 0.5 known issues present if not specified here otherwise, so please read the WLegend known issues carefully. Thanks.

v0.5 aka the "Twin" edition - *no-wipe update*
MD5: 1801c599f3ad35219a90a3518a078d49 - regular kernel
c34025be4cfbb2983f3cbe3c934a8f25 - OC kernel
Changelog:
- DO NOT WIPE! This is just an update for 0.4, not full ROM!
- All new and latest Cyanogen 2.6.33.3 kernel - many thanks to Cyanogen, Zinx, bcrook, pershoot and all the others for bringing it to MSM7k. It's certainly faster and more responsive.
- BFS enabled (I still prefer it over the usual schedulers)
- Available either with regular kernel (turbo mode enabled by default) or with overclock enabled kernel (max. 576MHz) - thanks to ToAsTcfh, pershoot, coolbho3000 and all the others involved in creating the OC patches. Use SetCPU to control the frequencies (autodetection works). Let me know which one do you prefer. You can switch between them by just reapplying the corresponding update, BTW.
- Compcache is now disabled by default again. In my opinion it doesn't really help on 32A and might actually be hurting. If you disagree or want to use a regular swap, just enable it by editing /system/memctl_config.
- HTC_IME mod by jonasl updated to v2.5.
- Wireless tether replaced with the working one.
- Live Rosie add-on for v0.4 might still be used on this version.
- Kernel modules loading fixed.
- Not really a change in the ROM, but it seems like you can get Camcorder working if you turn off recording of the sound. Will investigate more.

v0.4 aka the "I'm doing science and I'm still alive" edition - *full-wipe update* - MD5: 9ebf3d54c79a5cc1a1bb8ae29c5ca909
Changelog:
- Using some of the libs from the latest Hero CDMA leak
- Rearranged system folders so framework stays on system partition, hopefully improving speed and responsiveness a bit
- Added compcache/swap support based on SuperD - ROM now uses 24MB compcache by default, other options configurable by editing the /system/bin/memctl_config script file (settings are explained within the file)
- Added Shadow's renice script for Phone.apk, hopefully improving lag on incoming calls
- HTC_IME replaced by "super" HTC_IME by jonasl
- Added 3D Gallery (working rotation), Wireless tether and Wired tether (not tested, though, sorry)
- Misc. other minor changes
- Optional Sense UI with live wallpapers - see below in Add-ons section for more info

v0.3 aka "the uncommon name community edition" - *full-wipe update* - MD5: e8e5315b94098782a0d66979c41454c8
Changelog:
- Movikun is now working on the ROM with me (or should I say I'm now working with him? )
- Switch to WG kernel as we think it is now THE best kernel available for Magic/G1. Many thanks to all people involved with it and especially Wes himself, you're doing a fabulous job!
- With that in mind, renamed the ROM to WLegend. I'm sorry for the confusion, but I think it's for the best - sanpei's ROM is called Legend Sense now, but some people were already referring to it as Sense Legend, so we wouldn't want someone to think it's the same ROM
- Power off option fixed
- Black screen issue hopefully finally fixed (different setup wizard as well)
- Using re-optimized and re-packaged (and fixed) deodexed framework from Villain ROM, at least for now, so massive props to nprussell for creating it in the first place!
- Misc other optimizations, fixes and changes laying down the foundation for upcoming fixes
- More to come

v0.2.1 - *no-wipe update* - MD5: e60daac2d023bef916542efd004994eb
Changelog:
- Should fix the "dark picture" issue for video playback and camera.
- I've pulled the 0.2 update because I forgot to correct a small glitch that was causing the notification LED to light up constantly when it should be blinking. This glitch was only present in 0.2, it's not in 0.1. If you've already flashed the 0.2 update, just flash 0.2.1 over it. There are no other changes in 0.2.1.

Add-ons:
No-wipe update pack to enable Sense UI with live wallpapers (by enemeone) - MD5: a5146de3f87ecd81fff864475841e5a5
- Should work on 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, but only tested on 0.4
- Just flash over your fully configured ROM, but you'll most likely need to reconfigure your home screen once it boots up
- VERY experimental and actually not recommended for everyday use, but YMMV
- Expect nasty things happening - sometimes it can freeze your phone when selecting different LWP or create other problems
- Recommended live wallpapers to use - Grass and Nexus One
- 3D apps don't really work when using this add-on

do you use the camera libs for new radio, or the libs of community mod for old radio?
Wooooooow very great work i love it soooooooooo much but i have over 90 apps in my sdcard i and i cant see them...........
great job, i hope you continue
So, the battery was just fine tonight (lost about 20% in 8 hours, which is normal for my phone and config), so either I fixed the battery drain issue with my previous tweaks or it really was just a random thing.

Checked before posting, checking now again and I'm already way past 22.8MB...so if you've got problems, they're either on your side or were just temporary.

If I remember correctly (I've done quite a few tests and don't keep notes), camera libs are from Kingclick's Hero Eclair, which I think was the only 2.1 Sense based ROM with (more or less) working camera on 32A for me.

I dont speak italian but I think he means he got a FC in the Settings App and a blackscreen after booting and entering PIN since I got this too.
Since Power Off isnt working one has to pull the battery.
Does any one have clue?
All the changes have been merged into CyanogenMod 5.0.7 ! Please do NOT flash any of the current listed versions. I will remove this message if bcrook88, pershoot, or myself updates anything.
Also, I've since release a Spare Parts update for CM5.0.7. Find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688347
Hi all,
Note: This replaces your framework and services.jar, meaning Trackball Alert will not work, custom clock colours will revert, and notification in successions will also not work (since services.jar is replaced).
ALWAYS NANDROID FIRST !

Old Post:
Been a while since I did anything for Android, so I decided to first tackle one of the problems I have with it, which is, "Why must Android show the red arrows when I make a mistake, even in stealth mode?" I find it quite "insecure" .
Anyway, I know there's a morph to have a invisible lockscreen posted in david1711's thread, but this mod allows it to be an option . Enough talk, here's some screenshots:

Changelog:
250510:
- Added ability to change battery percentage colour
- Added option to hide clock on status bar
- Attempt to fix the percent alignment on D/S devices
240510:
- Implemented 2 additional options.
- "Show unlock message" will hide the "Draw pattern to unlock" message
- "Show unlock error messages" will hide the "Sorry, try again" message
- However, if you get the incorrect pattern, it will still show the 30 seconds countdown. That is not configurable, don't intend to make it configurable as well.
- Removed Browser.apk from package since it's included in CM5.0.7 latest test releases now .
230510:
- Notification items' colours are now changeable. HOWEVER, not all notification items will change, as some of them are implemented in a different way by the app dev themselves . Not sure if I can do anything about it yet.
- Re-organized SpareParts. For those asking, I have no idea what PLMN and SPN means, I took it from the source variable names. What I do know is they are related to carrier, and you can change them for your carrier colour to change.
- Updated source to CM's latest .
180510:
- Added various options into spare parts to allow configuration of clock, date, and many other colours. A reboot is required for the changes to take effect! SPN and PLMN is for the carrier .
170510 #2:
- Removed the swipe function in browser . It broke the Browser completely. Sorry about the error.
- Browser.apk no longer available as standalone since all it does is increase the max tabs from 8 to 16. It is still in the update.zip .
- Fixed the PIN lock buttons getting cut off if you use both visible dots and custom message. Thanks to _avatar for the help !
170510:
-Made some modifications to Browser.apk, as follows:
- If in fullscreen mode, swipe down on the title/address bar to show notifications/status bar, touch anywhere on the webpage will hide it back.
- Increased max number of tabs from 8 to 16.
- It is included with this mod update.zip because I've made some changes to framework, and I'm not sure how well it will work on the previous CM5.0.6 framework. A standalone link is also available, please report if it works for those on CM5.0.6 or CM5.0.7 WITHOUT the rest of our framework modifications.
160510:
Added option to make the delay on incorrect pattern customizable. (I dislike the delay!)
Changed the correct delay of PIN lock by avatar from 750ms to 0ms. Report if there're problems .
150510 #3:
Made it show 6 apps by default, otherwise it will cause a boot loop unless you've used spare parts first.
150510 #2:
Fixed a visual glitch with the focus/select drawable being cut off for the right-most apps if set to 12 recent apps.
150510:
Test release with configurable number of recent apps. Configure in SpareParts. 9 and 12 is now working but looks wrong (left-aligned). pershoot/bcrook88/myself are working on it. Removed previous version as invisible slider broke too many things. Give pershoot's links a try if you are looking for them since he has not added the invisible slider part. For those who have flashed my previous test release containing Browser.apk, please push Browser.apk from CM5.0.7-test2, or simply reflash CM5.0.7-test2 (or test whatever, if you're on D/S ).

Special thanks to:
pershoot - For being a very helpful guy throughout, esp. with his help with the make commands (although he suggested I do a full make ), and for the 15 recent apps layout, from which 9 and 12 was derived from
bcrook88 - Same as above, without the full make

Apply changes without rebooting
Have an option in Spare Parts to reset all colours to defaults?
sweet thanks so much!! downloading now
looks like the link is broken....
Re-uploading, try in a minute or so, I based the update.zip off pershoot's 15apps, and forgot to remove one line (not major, but I'm ocd ).
thank you kind sir.....great work!
Thank you! I got tired of people peeking over to see my lockscreen combination lol.
A lot of apps FC after flashing, the notification bar disappeared and I cannot switch off my phone
I previously installed pershoot's OCUV kernel + 15 Recent apps on CM 5.0.7 Test 1
[Request] optional text into the lockscreen
I love it
Request:
would it be possible to implement an option like this in settings:
So everyone can insert a specific text into the lockscreen??

by the way, invisible lockscreen breaks Trackball Alert (till TA is updated to 507)

same for me!
I would even say all apps produce fc
I'm not using CM at the moment. I switch back and forth between it and my own custom Desire Rom. But this is the first useful lockscreen mod for CM that i have seen so far.. Great work!
rori: Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. By the way, with the britoso mod, what happens if you have the dots on? Or are they permanently gone?
For those of you having FCs, I'll be honest with you, I have zero idea why . Are you all using any morphs? How about flashing CM5.0.7-Test, then my update.zip again? Pershoot's changes will also replace services.jar, although I'm not too sure if it will affect anything. I'm doing a repo sync now and will make a version for test2 asap.
ill roll this in tonight to the 15recent.
good work
Thanks pershoot !
Updated update.zip file in first post for CM5.0.7-test2!

That xml layout mod is for the slide-lock-screen with the slider below the text. There are ways of showing a view below another, example , Not tried this but it looks feasible.
Any chance you could implement hiding the clock and/or date?
I have a live wallpaper that displays the time. (ping pong)
Hi britoso, thx for the help. Actually I've already added a line of text under, but it doesn't seem to look good. Adding the text directly over doesn't look good either .

Rock Steady / CM7 (GingerSense) (5-1-11)
BEFORE READING ON, MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY!!!
Who is Rock Steady for?/About Rock Steady
Looking for the faster 2.3.3 hero cdma rom with HTC Sense Theme??!?! This is just for you!!! This rom is a developed by me and cyanogenmod and the cyanogenmod team. The name inspired by the Rock Steady Break bboy crew. They are the original bboy crew that inspired future generations to breakdance like myself, but yet they remain true to the dance. That short explanation reminds of this rom and how android went from 1.5 to 2.3.3 but this rom remains original to the default theme of android when you first bought your phone from sprint, sense ui framework. If you can't tell by now I like to breakdance so that is the basis of where the name came from. Please read on for more information.
What Needs Work?
- modify the lock screen pattern to have that same green streak like sense's lock screen pattern does
- modify the lock screen and notification bar "sprint" text to say either "gingersense" or "heroc"
- also i need to include a super circle battery mod as extra for those of you who would like a super circle battery instead of the sprint battery (coming soon )
Instructions:
1. Backup EVERYTHING (SD Card, Titanium Backup, Nandroid)
2. Wipe EVERYTHING (Data/Factory Rest, Wipe Cache, Format Boot, System, Cache, and Data, Wipe Dalvik)
3. Download and Copy RockSteady & Gapps to your sdcard
Get Rock Steady Here
Get Gapps Here
4. Flash RockSteady and Gapps and Reboot
5. Skips gapps setup and reboot into recovery and wipe data, cache, and dalvik again
6. reboot into system
7. After setting up gapps, in the menu > sense settings > ui setting > check tint ab and make the scale factor 1 instead of 7
8.Press menu > add > custom shortcut > then click the phone icon and use es file explorer and choose the transparent.png I provided for you on the root of your SD card. Change the activity to say phone by pressing pick your activity > applications > phone. Okay the custom widget and the drag and drop it over the phone button. Do the same for right sense dock button (choose a custom activity of your choice)
9. Add the sense clock by using the fancy widget widget i provided for you.
10. Press menu > settings > cyanogenmod settings > lockscreen > style options > lockscreen style > lense. This is the new modified lockscreen I've been working on Its not perfect yet but it's a start. This is just my way of saving you a few bucks from buying a lockscreen from the market. Although, if you'd like a sense-like lockscreen which looks slightly different from the stock lockscreen (in terms of shading/brightness/darkness), please see here about widgetlocker. Please purchase this app from the market to use as the sense lockscreen. I REALLY RECOMMEND IT. And you can easily disable the default lockscreen once you start using this app by going into the cyanogenmod settings > tablet settings > and checking disable lockscreen.

- added sense green theme!! now it has sense buttons, green text boxes, and more!
- fixed battery saying its fully charged when only at 90%
- changed settings icons and other minor icon edits
- stuck with aosp notification bar until i figure out how to implement sense notification bar without FC's on every app
- came close on the lock screen VERY VERY close but i need to learn java to complete it so i removed it until i learn java :D
- found a gingersense bootanimation but although it played on the boot process it was too big and the images didn't fit our screen and i don't know how to convert bootanimations to fit different size screens....YET!
4-10
- added custom kifno tweaks to rom
- odexed rom because not much theming left to do

OK, installed. Going through the setup instructions on the OP
9. Press Menu > Sense Settings > Sense UI (last step should be >IU Settings)
10. Check Tink AB (Should be Tint AB)
35. Repeat steps 24-34 except for an shortcut of your choice (creating add to homescreen shortcut isn't capable right now) - (Dont really know why or what you are attempting here? Please clarify)
41. Wallapaper (Misspelled)
Your set up is completed.
So far so good. I will let you know when I have My set up completed. Installing stuff.
Can I use A2SD? (I assume I can since it is a GB base)

I have used the data2ext before but my card is only a class 4. Causes much lag. I am fine with just A2sd. Right now I am using Jason's 691 uncapped kernel and it is working fine so far.

Is this real "HTC Sense" integrated with gingerbread, or is it just a "Sense theme" for gingerbread? I assume by looking at the rom size that it is just a theme. I really like the sense widgets: calendar, messaging,email, etc, but I assume that if it is just a sense theme then those widgets will not be available? I will still download and give it a whirl. Thank you for your hard work!

It's probably just the themed ADWLauncher and warez version of Fancy Widget that have been floating around.

Thats what I was thinking. Without the sense widgets, I'll just go back to launcher pro plus, the sense theme doesn't me do me much good in that regards. Other than that the rom looks pretty solid

I know that most folks that use Froyo or Gingerbread think that Sense is a dirty word, for some reason I always find myself going back to a sense rom after being on froyo or gingerbread for a while. I really like the interface and widgets. Thank you again for your hardwork

Fancy Widget is not warez. The oudated version that you've included here (the one that you've likely included without license from the creator) was taken off of the Market a long time ago after HTC sent a cease-and-desist letter to the creator for ripping off their work (if you crack open the apk, you can see pretty clearly that he blatantly copied the image resources from the original). It was later re-released after a code rewrite, sans the ripped-off bits.

THE FIRST "SYSTEM PARTITION" TRUE SENSE 3.0 ROM!
So what does this all mean?
System partition - this means that i00 ROM does not install any ROM component on your data partition; this has two advantages: it saves precious space on your data partition - so you can maximize the amount of apps you can have installed, and it allows you to factory reset the phone without having to re-install the ROM!

General
Thanks:
To the RC Team for their commitment and contribution to the ROM community exp resizing the widgets for sense 3.0,
rmk for his work on resizing too,
Ilias, for his research and knowledge,
... and of course HTC
Have been running my ROM for a while and have not had any major issues with it yet...
basically (as with my shift rom) i00 ROMs are designed to be as near stock as possible but build on existing features without cluttering the ROM with other apps and other unnecessary junk - my policy is "if the user wants an app they will download it"
Battery life seems to be good - easily get 24 hours out of my phone now with moderate use!
This ROM is NOT overclocked... but can be in 5.1+
Feedback is much appreciated (as always) ... and let me know if you find any bugs (that are not listed in the post below)
Also if you like/use this ROM please consider donating a beer, rating or saying thanks (or all 3 )
If I have missed a credit let me know.

Change Log
5.5 (31/05/2011):
NOTE:
If speed is of priority please check the benchmark results before deciding to update to 5.5.
It is recommended that you turn off "Tell HTC" in this release (I forgot to disable it before I uploaded)... to do this goto Menu > Settings > About Phone > Tell HTC and then un-select "Report errors to HTC"
Updated base to RC Team's Kingdom 1.1
Mic and some more widgets now work due to the new base - for other changes in the base check the RC Team's post
Phone echo fixed (happened with some radios only / fix also fixes problem on some radio's only, so if you still get the echo then u/d your radio) (requested by cortez.i)
Sim pin code problem fixed that would cause loop-boot
Photo gallery lock screen added (from *damo*)
Camera reverted to classic Desire HD (as new base had camera with panoramic)
Maps version updated to global navigation 5.5 (from stian230)
ROM Free space for modding: 97MB
New base is due to the lack of free time on my behalf (barely having time to work on my Kitchen let alone my ROM since starting full time work again and having 3 contracts as-well).
5.3 (18/05/2011) Lock screen info:
NOTE:
If you have a sim pin, or the person you call experiences an echo, install the fix in the MODs section

Updated to v17 of m-deejay's kernel

ROM Free space for modding: 32MB
5.2.1 (17/05/2011) Phone fix:
Removed sound fix for Inspire 4G and Telus as was causing bad call quality
ROM Free space for modding: 41MB
5.2 (16/05/2011) MODs ... again:
Optimized ROM A LOT for speed and more free space (0 MB free before now 36 MB free!)
MODs are compatible with i00 ROM once again due to the extra free space
Sound fix for Inspire 4G and Telus (from baadnewz) (requested by LINKSLOVESANDROID)
Change auto brightness policy so brighter out-doors (requested by mgeo81)
Friend stream widget fixed (from Krzysiec)
ROM Free space for modding: 36MB
5.1 (14/05/2011) SU Fixed!:
Fixed super user issue
Upgraded to m-deejay's kernel (requested by eliashadow)
Fixed dialer issue where it makes the number xxxx-xxxx
Browser can now have up to 99 tabs open at a time (new users only... or Factory reset... sorry guys)
Browser gif animation is enabled by default
Changed default weather temp scale to C
5.0 (13/05/2011) FULL SENSE 3.0:
NOTE:
There are several issues with this ROM that you may want consider before upgrading ... hopefully these will be fixed in future releases... I will summarize the most important ones here... for other issues check the issues post below
Having a sim pin also causes the phone to reboot loop Remove your sim pin (if you have one) prior to installing this update
Factory reset is required... I plan to make this not necessary in 5.1 (so that you can upgrade from 4.9 to 5.1)
SuperUser does not work (working on this)
Some widgets do not work
Mic does not work on non-htc applications
Rosie no longer rotates
Full Sense 3.0 FIRST SENSE 3.0 ROM TO FIT ENTIRELY ON SYSTEM PARTITION!

New version of Talk (requested by duk3r)
Quick setting icons have been fixed for Vibrate and Silent
More quick settings added
Added Plurk back in
For older changes click here
Procedure
Of course make sure you have rooted and installed clockwork and then apply the update through that.
The procedure for flashing should be:
Backup existing ROM through Clockwork in case something goes terribly wrong!(or other backup tool)
Wipe Data/Factory reset (not always required but HIGHLY recommended) if flashing from another ROM (not i00 ROM) - if there are steps required for an update (from one version of i00 ROM to another) I will post the details in the Version Info
Flash new ROM through Clockwork
Also i am NOT responsible if your cat dies, your girlfriend falls pregnant, your house gets bombed or if you brick your phone!

Common Questions
OK thought I'd put together a list of common questions that people have with this ROM to stop me answering the same questions again and again.
Q: What else is included in the ROM
A: Besides the Base apps from HTC and Google ... not alot - Superuser (for other changes see the change log above)
Q: I flashed and now my system apps keep force closing
A: Did you wipe data/factory reset?
Issues
G sensor config does not work in 5.0+ (found by maow59)
Long messages that are sent get split and sent as individual txt's instead of multi-part txt's in 5.0+
Selecting "turn off" hibernates the phone in 5.0+
MMS doesn't work in 5.0+
Some widgets do not work in 5.0+
In view under people the checkboxes are not displaying correctly in 5.0+
Found another bug? - let me know (post it here!)
Fixed Issues
5.5 - Twitter integration does not work properly in friend stream widget in 5.0+ (found by masterpfa)
5.5 - Having a sim pin causes the phone to reboot loop
5.5 - SMS unread counter is squashed near compose button
5.5 - Mic does not work on non-htc applications in 5.0+
5.5 - Cannot edit lists of timezones etc in clock app in 5.0+
5.5 - When you click on auto-rotation in the quick settings the text "%1$s, %2$s" appears in 5.0+
5.3 - Date + time + weather + operator don't appear on lock screen in 5.0+
5.1 - SuperUser does not work in 5.0+
5.0 (no longer applicable since Rosie no longer supports landscape) - Calculator widget does not fit in landscape
5.0 - When selecting a notification sound in 3rd party apps the top two items read "Default ringtome (%1$s)" and "Ringtones" instead of "Default" and "Silent"
4.7 - Quick setting icons are not correct for Vibrate and Silent
4.6 - Weather is a little unstable if upgrading ROMs to 4.5... seems fine if factory resetting though
4.5 - Sometimes the voice search does not work correctly and does not register that you have said anything
4.2 - Websites tend to detect the device as the HTC Saga
4.1 - Camera has a button it that is used to switch to the front camera and has a mirror application - clicking the front camera button closes the camera app, and mirror is just a black screen - will try reverting this to a Desire HD camera APK at some stage
Next Version
5.6?
...So far...
Removed "Tell HTC"
photo album widget fixed, added "to do list" and "Notes widget" (from Robert A)
Fix for HTC widget selector - images resized to fit correctly (from Robert A)
...Considering...
Reverting to old (5.1-5.3) base for faster speed
Build TTS support back into ROM so that it doesn't have to be "enabled and downloaded" for new users
nice work and thanks
Looks good, downloading. Wish you uploaded to multiupload though.
thank's great job
Made the default font sizes slightly larger than stock........................................Ιs there a way to make fonts larger than yours, because I grew old enough and my eyes no longer see so well ...many thanks in advance...

You could make an update zip ... but if you don't know what you're doing it is prob easier to extract the zip file - and edit the fonts in the system/fonts folder
However some fonts may not fit correctly ... there is already some text in my ROM that now wraps on to 2 lines on some buttons
Kris
Ιts a nice S port as the others.Smooth,fast and all seems to working fine..I insist that S port is the best sense ginger in this time...

Welcome to BlackICE
Dear Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Mr BlackICE died peacefully in his sleep last night. He was an excellent ROM with a stylish physique and good battery usage. He had a long life and continued to be popular in his later years even after the younger generations of ICS and Jellybean sprang up. I know he will be missed by many.
+ + + R.I.P BlackICE + + +
What is BlackICE?
BlackICE is a CyanogenMod derivative; modular, extensible and dark... Very dark
Heavily tweaked to boost battery life and performance, fine tuned for Desire HD and Inspire 4G
All the great features of the LordModUE kernel
This is an open project, we accept cooperation and patches
You can build your own BlackICE
Friendly Advice
If you are flash BlackICE over a different (not BlackICE) ROM a full wipe / factory reset is required
Remember Mom's advice: brush your teeth everyday and take the 5 minutes to backup before flashing
* Please read Post #2 thru #5 for more information, including how to resolve Market issues *

See the example file
icetool script will take care of them and apply your typical options prior to first boot!
Current supported options at boot time:
Code:
# Switch gps.conf for your country (see /sdcard/blackice/gpsconf/*)
gpsconf [COUNTRY]
# Switch ril from the default (rils on /sdcard/blackice/ril/*)
ril [RIL_VERSION]
# Set LCD density
density [190|200|240]

bootsoundoff
# Uncomment this if you want to overlay an existing
# directory hierarchy on sdcard over /system
overlay /system /sdcard/blackice/system
# Uncomment this if you want to overlay an existing
# directory hierarchy on sdcard over /data
overlay /data /sdcard/blackice/data
# Uncomment this if you want to enable braviaengine
braviaengine on
Renice script:
You can push a text file in /sdcard/blackice/renice.txt with custom renice of process.
These values won't be applied until you run the "Autorenice processes" option of icetool
If you need a decent app to change them and persist them, then buy SysTune from market.
See the example file icetool script will take care of them and apply your typical options when clicked on that options.
Code:
# Example renice.txt file
# Below a list of processes that should be reniced
# #1 : Process name
# #2 : Priority (ranging -20 to +19, being -20 realtime prio and +19 idle prio)
#
# These priorities are only applied *after* running "Autorenice" option of ICETool

How to enable BLN:
You can enable BLN (ButtonLightNotification) by going to CyanogenMod settings -> Interface -> LED notifications -> Advanced -> Use BLN
If you want to have a toggle in the statusbar got to
CyanogenMod settings -> Interface -> Notification power widget -> Widget buttons -> Toggle BLN
changing the order is just as usual in Widget button order.
If you want to disable it for certain apps, you can do this by disabling the LED in this specific app. That is the only way because BLN is bound to the LED flag. Introducing a new Flag makes no sense because it is not in the tools that App developers can use.
General idea behind the framework modification:
The general idea was to make the softkeys flash whenever a new notification arrives. However, there is a problem with that. Other than the "normal" LEDs (LCD-backlight and softkey-backlight, the notification-LED has a file called "blink" in
Code:
/sys/class/leds/green/
So you only need to write "1" into the file and the hardware will do the rest. (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_ace/blob/gingerbread/liblights/lights.c, l.116)
Therefore I switched to only turn it on when the screen is off and a notification arrives. Having it turned on instead of blinking takes slightly more power, but has the same visual effect, because you would still notice it, as it normally is off when the screen is off.
Changes I made:
These are the currently up to date changes:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11716
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11717
To-Do:
I think Danny Baumann has a point when he said, it would be better to implement it device-specific because there are devices like the Samasung Galaxy S II that have this feature in a (custom) kernel. I don't know how to do framework changes device-specific though. But I am still learning and there should be a way. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_ace/blob/gingerbread/ace.mk looks key.
Update #1:
Danny pointed me to motorola jordan https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_jordan
So I will try to make AceParts and the corresponding changes in liblights/lights.c. If it doesn't go into CM then, I don't know what else to do

FAQ
SysTune discussion thread If you want to discuss your experience with various settings or see what others use then i hope you help filling up this thread
Works wonders with BlackIce
FAQ - thx maatsby
Q: How do i flash this?
A: MAKE A BACKUP!
If this is your first time = Full Wipe
If you're coming from an older version = Just flash (it will wipe cache's for you)
Q: What is the recommended radio?
A: There's no universal Radio + RIL solution in this ROM, nor any AOSP. You have to experiment
Lots of people use the newest 26.13.04.19_M. But it depends on your region, area, mobile phone carrier, ...
Q: What is the recommended RIL?
A: There's no universal Radio + RIL solution in this ROM, nor any AOSP. You have to experiment
All the G rils are there in ICE Tool for you to test what fits better
Q: But those guys at the radio thread told me that I must use XXXX-HM RIL for my YYYY radio.
A: Quoting kitecarl: As the saying goes, "Friends don't let friends flash H-RILs on CM7-based ROMs."
Seriously - stick with ONLY the G-RILs that come with ICETool and all will be good in the world.
Q: Something isn't working / is Force Closing!
A: This is a work in progress. If this is a new problem, report it in the thread.
BUT SEARCH FIRST. Chances are two other people have noticed this and reported it already
Q: How do I get a banner in my signature? How can I theme? I hate the default look!
A: Look at the user contributed extras such as BlackICE graphics thread by jameslsmith or BlackICE MODs: Battery and Notification mods by baltazar.nilsson. Or revert back to default CM looks by using the original SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk
Q: What is undervolting?
A: Changing the voltage available to each CPU frequency. Use ICE Tool or the Systune app (or both) to play with this
Proceed with caution. Freeze / reboot / crazy behaviour is a possibility
Q: Why does the market say this app is incompatible with your device?
A: This is due to the dpi. Sorry, but google doesn't like you to mess with dpi. If you use default device 240 it will work. However, if you want to use different density such as BlackICE default 200, either use the old market, or change the dpi to 240 in ICETool, download your app, then change it back. If you use the tool, Market app data will be cleared to make it work
