DISCLAIMER
Read this post thoroughly, in its entirity. Don't ask for support on something that's been covered in this post!
VillainROM is sponsored by Hyperbees, LTD - publishers of SpeedX, The Impossible Level Game and more!
Let's get on with it, shall we?
Well, it's been a long time coming, and in typical VillainROM fashion, we hope it's been worth the wait.
Many of you will know our work from the HTC Hero community; work which started just under a year ago and grew into a team of developers, themers and systems administrators working to produce THE most popular ROMs on the Hero.
Some of us recently attended the HTC press event in London, where we were asked by many, many disgruntled Desire users when we were going to release some ROMs for the device. The good news is, today is the day. For anyone that's been waiting for our ROMs, I apologise for the wait.
So... why the delay?
Yes, you guessed it... midgets. I'm not talking about the little sweets, either... I'm talking about the little fellas. It's nothing at all to do with the fact that I have been lazy, despite having dozens of angry Desire owners (including many of our team) hassling me day in, day out. No, it's not that at all; it's the midgets.
I won't pretend I don't feel guilty about it, though. I'm as guilty as Alan Carr is gay. And that's pretty guilty.
Many of our team own the HTC Desire, so expect to see several of our ROMs appearing on this forum in the future. It's an exciting time to be a Desire owner, with so many talented developers around working on it... not to mention the upcoming release of the Desire HD, and the HTC kernel sources.
So that you're kept in the loop, so to speak, this is one of a series of ROMs for the HTC Desire that will be released over the coming fortnight (ideally). In no particular order, the other ROMs that we'll be releasing in the near future are:
- SuperVillain 1.0.0 (Based on VR 1.0.0 with Rosie, widgets and a lot of other Sense UI stripped out for speed. This will come in 2 versions... LP and ADW).
- FroydVillain 1.0.0 (A pure, AOSP build. Immensely fast, but currently quite buggy. This will be sorted prior to release)
- VillainROM HD (I'm working on a stripped down version of this ROM that installs without the need to store half the system folder on your SD EXT partition. This isn't too far away from release now).
Anyway, I've rambled enough. Many of you haven't read this far, and are already thinking 'TL : DR'. I have no doubt about this. I don't care though. That being said, I will 'get to the point' right about now.
Welcome to VillainROM 1.0.0
VillainROM is the name given to our ROMs based entirely on the manufacturers latest update, similarly to the Modaco Custom Roms. We've tried to keep it as standard as possible, adding only a few extra, essential features here and there, with our own, typical modifications. Please don't expect this to be groundbreaking, but if you're after a stable, close to stock, heavily supported ROM, then VillainROM is the right choice for you. As with all of the ROMs on offer from Team Villain, updates will be regular and meaningful.
- HTC Sense UI ROM (based on build 2.14.207.1)
- Apps2SD+
- De-odexed & Zip aligned
- OpenVPN Support
- Wifi N Support
- EXT 3 & 4 Support
- CIF Support
- CFQ Support
- Latest Superuser & Busybox
- VR Wallpapers
- UV Kernel - thanks, Neophyte
- System R/W access - overlay method
- Reboot in power menu
- Shiny, VillainROM boot animation (credits go to Alex from the VillainROM forum)
- Huge APN list - thanks, Cyanogen
- Supports major European languages
- PNG Optimised
See post #2 for Changelog
Installation Guide
1. Flash the latest radio image, if you don't have it already

I would just like to add, although we will try our best to help with any issues on XDA the way this forum works can often make it too hard to do so. Please report any bugs or issues over on the VR forums instead (in the relevant bug reporting section).
Thanks
Enjoy.

I installed almost all your roms on HTC hero, and they was great...
I am testing this one... I found that gmail it is not the latest 2.3... I am trying to upgrade from market but It wont let me install it... :-( there is any way to do????
Thanks
Can you guys keep Wifi N drivers as a mod to be added after flashing the rom itself? i think most ppl are reluctant to use it...

Since this rom has the System R/W access - overlay method u should be able to delete the gmail app apk file in the system/app using root explorer.. After that reboot the phone and install the latest gmail app from the market... Hope this help..

It was found to be the cause of battery drainage plus its not rly living up to the Wifi N speeds, to the extent of being more of a flaw than anything else
Has anyone else here just given up on 2.2 being released, and instead are more excited about custom 2.3?

Nope, 2.2 overcomes a bigger barrier than 2.3. With 2.1 I'll finally be able to use the new GMail app, the new voice search app, etc. 2.3 is nice & interesting, but there really aren't any killer features to me besides the new look. And even that is achievable using a theme. Plus a released 2.2 will be more stable than a ported 2.3.
Note: The only reason I am on 2.1 still is I am waiting for a stable 2.2 captivate release to use as a basis for my next custom ROM.

you should try the axura rom. most stable rom to date! AND its 2.2..... AND GPS works great for most people using the rom. AND it has awesome support! AND....
The main reason i'm waiting for the official release is i don't want to wipe my phone/
I haven't given up because I've been using a fully functional Captivate-build of Froyo thanks to Cognition. Yes, it's not the 100% official 100% final version, but ya know what? It runs really damn good and I have yet to find anything missing/buggy due to the Froyo leak itself.
Don't want to wipe your phone? There are so many apps out there that make backing up and restoring a breeze. TitaniumBackup and ROM Manager to name two. I can flash a new version of Cognition AND have all my apps back up and running with their saved data in 20 minutes or less.

Not interested in no voicemail, the look of Axura, or using a kernel not built from Captivate source. Plus I'm tired of flashing ROMs lol
I'm sure Axura is a fine ROM for those who made that jump. I just like making my own ROMs from other people's Captivate parts.
I'm more tired of seeing yet another thread about the unreleased official Froyo 2.2.
I deem this thread close
We will see when they release an official version of 2.2 and there will be threads all over the place when it happens.
What a crazy 3 months it has been, with life in general getting in the way of development, but it's over and here is a release for everyone!
For the full list of changes please see the changelog at http://bit.ly/aH0ioL.
*Please note*
All Google apps that are available for download from the market will no longer be included in the CCRoms Google apps package, to facilitate updating the apps the way Google intends.
Also this release is FROYO, Gingerbread will most likely be our next release with this gem version's features ported to AOSP Gingerbread.
The Main Highlights:
Obsidian for the Droid X is now a fully stable build, some minor bugs might still exist, but otherwise it is rock solid.
Tanzanite for the Droid 2 is also stable build, since it is so close to the Droid X.
Emerald for the HTC Evo is also stable for all pre-2.10 and 2.02 hboot updates.
Sapphire is just as stable as ever.
Ruby has been updated to the Miui ril for better connectivity and is more stable than ever.
That's right we are now on 5 phones, Thanks for all of your support everyone!
Now for the important part, Obsidian 2.0, Ruby 2.0, Sapphire 2.0, Tanzanite 2.0 are released!
All Downloads are available under the downloads section on our wiki: http://wiki.ccroms.net
Be sure to read the wiki pages fully for known issues and install instructions for certain roms.
NOTE: Emerald has been having some kernel issues and 2.0 will be delayed slightly.
wow. amazing. thank you guys soooo much! so nice to have a true aosp rom
can you post some screenshots?
if you notice any bugs please post them to the bug tracker (bugs.ccroms.net)!
(be sure to check if the bug exists before posting a new one)
hope everyone likes the release!

It's beta and very much not ready for daily use. Wait a little while for the bugs to be ironed out if you need a fully working ROM.
i've taken tanzanite offline momentarily due to some unexpected issues with it booting back into a proper recovery. if you have already installed it i apologize for the oversight. SBFs work fine and only /system and /preinstall are overwritten during installation of tanzanite.
either way, i hope to have this resolved ASAP.
sorry again for the mistake :C

IT happens. I tested last night before the pull and had massive battery drain, failure to program, slow and jilted performance, and got into a boot loop when I rebooted the phone.
I"m back on my previous ROM but I'm still incredibly excited to see a stable of this ROM.
Thanks for all the work!
Have these issues been resolved yet?
I have some time to mess around with this today, but waiting to hear back on jobs, so can't take time to sbf and such either.
whats the dx version called? obsidian or something? any way, heres what i did. i flashed the 2.0.1 version for the dx cus i know its probably got more attention then the d2 version. then i flashed kejars dx to d2 port .zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9896754&postcount=4 I saw camera listed as a known bug but im taking pictures just fine no video though, and the alt lock button doesnt work. you can still lock alt by double tapping alt. no video, no alt. lock are only 2 issues ive found so far. this rom is very smooth and responsive.

Due to time management before I was unable to successful get the next update out. Due to the increasing amount of roms here, and the fact that I got an LG Optimus G now, and disabled service on my Evo I am now discontinuing this project and moving onto better things, possibly more behind the scenes. If you want to see my next projects check out the Nook Tablet and Sprint LG Optimus G forums (including apps and themes)
NOTE: THIS IS MY FIRST PUBLICLY POSTED ROM EVER. EVEN THOUGH I WILL TEST ALL VERSIONS ON MY EVO FIRST, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ANYTHING WILL WORK, AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF THIS SCREWS UP YOUR PHONE, OR IT BLOWS UP FOR USING AN AWESOME ROM

just download android terminal emulator from the market (I might include it in a later version), open it, type in "su", accept the superuser permissions, then type in "onandroid", and the rest is obvious. It creates a nandroid directly to your CWM folder with todays date for later restore, and the best part is you dont have to turn your phone off, and its faster! the original post is here: [v5.8] Online Nandroid Backup / Nandroid Backup without re-booting, and includes pictures.

thanks. im going to add goo.im OTA in a small update, but after that im going to work on adding Beats audio, some 3G/wifi, and UI speed tweaks, and start adding more than the sense 4.0 clock. apps included. Im also going to try to make the camera and camcorder get better picture and sound with some tweaks also. and debating on a whole UI/launcher change to attempt to get newer versions of sense. thanks for trying out my rom!

If your still keeping an eye on this, I am aware that OTA update center in version 1.04 is broken. build.prop issue, ill post a fix sometime today. also if anybody has any tweaks they want to add, just link to the original thread and ill look at it. if it is a flashable.zip I can add it.
Just wanted to keep everyone updated. I will hopefully release v1.05 this week to fix the issues in v1.04. I will also work on adding the mobile hotspot hack in the next version or two. Im testing on my evo right now while im out of town. Also after about v1.06 I will attempt to bring my own AOSP roms, and I might just add it to this thread. I just got my laptop screen fixed, so I can work on my roms more. Once im done with that im thinking of doing a port from the evo 4g lte, and then start focusing on my tablet.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
okay, so v1.05 is out, ill test it, and hopefully release it tonight. also I will try to work alot more on new features this week. v.1.05 should fix all v1.04 issues. Also OTA update is down for server upgrades, so download from goo for now (OTA available there also)
Update: v1.05 is out and working. OTA update center was removed due to server side issues after an upgrade. see the change log for the newest features, and download from goo.im/devs/evodev (link in first post)

Welcome to the new age of Gingerbread!!
Gingerbread? WTF? Yes I know everyone wants ICS&JB but they have not had any of this kicka$$ gingerbread yet.
4g, HDMI, SMS/MMS, FFC, Flash media (streaming internet video), Every freature HTC offered with this phone works with this rom (even the kick stand. LOL!!)
I have been in my kitchen cooking up something special for yall OG users. Until now you had a difficult choice to make. Use gingerbread to have full function of your OG or use ICS/JB and have the looks but lose some features. Now this is not just another themed out gingerbread rom trying to be ICS/JB. This is a complete rework of GB with many features found in ICS/JB back ported. I did not create this rom but I did merge the source code with multiple OG device trees to get it working. The real credit goes to SquadZone!! These guys are awesome and have done a super job with this. So for everything that works thank them and for everything that is broken blame me.
So lets take care of the b.s. first.
https://github.com/CyanMobile - Source I used to build from
https://github.com/atyoung - Source used for kernel
https://github.com/jlmancuso/KAKA - My source of KAKA (not uploaded yet, still testing before releasing)
My kernel K.A.K.A. is still in the works. I just have not had time to get it finished yet.
Thanks to:
SquadZone - for an awesome source
Atyoung - for the best gb kernel
Evervolv - for being the best (oh and I stole some of my device tree from them)
CM - another awesome group (yes I stole some of my tree from them too)
B-boy - for most of the black and transparent apps (http://b-boytm.webnode.com/themed-apps)
Google - without I would never have been able to build this beast from source (by Google I am refering to the search engine mostly)
PlatinumPenguin - who donated his old 3vo to me (this will also be built as a tablet style rom later for him)
thedemonic - testing and repacking the boot.img for me (thanks a million!!!)
....more will be added later
Also always feel free to hit me up on google (plus+, talk, or old fashion email, [email protected])
Beta 3.0 is out but it is not the grand enchilada I have planed. With all the small things acting up I have had to put the cool things to the side for the moment and focus on the core. I have been running this all day downloading, surfing, streaming music, video, playing with dropbox. So I think we are now ready to have enjoy this Beast of a Rom.
Install Instructions
1. Backup your current ROM
2. Download and flash current rom
3. Do not flash anything else (except kernels) If you flash any mods you will most likely have issues.
4. Reboot phone and wait. First boot takes a very long time and you may get a reboot right after the splash screen. This is normal no worries also the boot song will finish before the rom is done loading.
5. Go to Post 2 and setup your gps and a2sd if you want it.

If you feel like you must give I am providing a link to the Red Cross and would like for yall to give them whatever it is yall wanted to give to me. Mother Earth has come to take that which is her's and I like most others would like to give to those who really need it. Link below is for Red Cross donations. Again anything you felt like donating to me please send it to the Red Cross instead. I have given yall the link below and please help those who really need it.

If you donate to the Red Cross I will make sure yall get your name on the thanks list and I will put you on my beta tester list so you will not only help those who have faced natural disasters but you can help make this a better rom for everyone.
Lets keep this tread clean (free of non-development chatter)
I have created a thread for all the things you want to ask or need to know in General. Lets use it instead of this one. Please?

CyanMobile Pre-Beta 3.0 Tester 4
Special Release
Since I have what looks to be a stable base I wanted to go ahead and let yall use it. This does not have the custom kernel or install script yet (been busy working Lol! So I have not finished the kernel. This release has 100% of the included apps working and so far I have had great feed back from my beta testing team. Thanks guys. All of the apps from 2.3 are still in 3.0 (transparent & inverted) with only a few changes to the versions. So far everything downloaded from the market works without any issues.
BOOT AUDIO WARNING
this audio should be 99% safe (nothing bad) yet might still give you a shock factor
Special Flashing Instructions
1. DO NOT!! flash any extra tweaks, or mods!! The can and most likely result in bootloops and will most likely require a complete wipe and reinstall of CyanMobile!!!
2. You can flash other GingerBread AOSP kernels. This could also have adverse effects. Like always this is just a warning if you flash it you might have to fix it. LOL..
3. THIS WILL WIPE everything but your sd-ext and sdcard. I always suggest wiping your sd-ext if you have problems with the first install. You made a backup right?
4. Flash Rom
5. Reboot (Gapps included with rom) WARNING: DONT UPDATE ANY GOOGLE APP THIS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS IF YOU DO.
6. Wait and enjoy your boot audio (first boot takes a very long time)
7. Please let the phone sit for a few mins before the first use this ROM has lots of things it only does on the first boot so as hard as it can be please, please, please wait. It will be worth it.
8. Now reboot phone and enjoy the wonders of GingerBread!! Who knew it could be so good?
9. Now for those who read all the instructions before doing something I have a treat for you.
10. Now go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42092464 follow the instructions I posted there to enable a2sd (yes a small part of my CyanMobile settings map, Now for sale as an app for only $19.99 Lol!!

(5-15-2013)
CyanMobile Beta 2.1, 2.2, & image-file.zip

Fixed random boot animations!! (there are now 10 different boot animations)
JB binary still not playing nice with this rom
Changed kernel to SBC-FSO version (was just SBC)
Added hdmi app
Removed market updater
Removed BMKG.apk (not sure what it was but it was not in english)
Legacy launcher added back (was included with souce although I like the adw launcher from the 3vo build better)
Added an ics style launcher
Added older RomToolBox (do not upgrade this version will let you backup and install app+data without buying the app)
Removed adfree (romtoolbox has a better version)
Changed boot audio (that other one was giving me a headache)
I will also be upload a zip with image files so if you get status 7 you can always flash these through bootloader (or if on hw004 they can be used through recovery)

KAKA Kernel information and change log
KAKA is now available for your Og!!!
What is KAKA?
KAKA stands for Kick A$$ Kernel Aosp version. It is an updated and modified version of the Mason G series kernel.
What has been done to make it KAKA?
Well this is the first release and also my first kernel so it is a work in progress. I have added 3 governors and enabled SWAP.
What is in KAKA's future?
I plan on adding more features such as two way call recording, adding more IO schedulers, and bringing this up to the latest Linux kernel version.
So what governors have been added?
I have created/modified 3 of my own while also including other available governors. Here is a list of all the governors.
Brazilianwax
conservative
intelllidemand
interactive
interactivex
lagfree
lazy
lionheart
lulzactive
minmax
ondemand
ondemandx
performance
powersave
samurai
savegedzen
scary
smartass
smartass2
smoothass
superbad
userspace
virtuous
wheatly
and my new ones
deathbysoap
diablo
hipkat
This kernel will be a match for the rom. More options than most users will know what to do with. For now it is only available with CyanMobile or from source if you want to compile it yourself. There is also plans for ICS and JB versions some time in the future.
So what are deathbysoap, diablo, and hipkat?
Well they are my tribute to 3 of our great XDA members and modified versions of existing governors. I have chosen each governor to reflect (somewhat) each member and then modified each one to make them better.
Death by Soap - is a modified version of intellidemand
Diablo - is a modified version of SmartAss2
HipKat - is a modified version of Conservative
Each one has been tweaked to give better performance and battery life. Specifics of the modifications will be provided later.
What I/O Schedulers will be available?
noop
deadline

Nice... Kinda first.
What you mean kinda first? Mine dont count. LOL! I pull two extras off the top to keep the OP clean and neat. Oh by the way for those who get the rubix cube just tap it and it will go away. Also random boot animations are not really setup yet it just has the ones for the nexus which is where I stole the script from. LOL! Well I guess stole is not the correct term since I gave credit. Swiper no swipe!!!!!!!!!!!
oh well. this was to be an edit of my change log but somehow became a post. not enough sleep and too much bud
Guess I should flash my zip since I have not tested it yet. This was pulled straight from my phone and zipped up and sent to the net before I even thought to test it. I sure hope it works.
Edit: Rom works but not like what I had in my phone. v6 freaked things up. Busybox is massive a su bianary is missing along with a couple of apps and mods. New upload this afternoon.
Kinda second....

Wow does this have a ton of options. I haven't seen a ROM this feature packed since MIUI. It also runs fast even in Boot Manager, which runs from the sd card. I can only imagine how fast it runs from the phone. Still exploring, but excellent job!

yeah the download is good he just needs a different install script. i have not updated it to the jellybean installer. well actually i did check which one it used by default during the source build. the new download will have the updated script plus i will remove the market updater. even though this rom claims to be 2.3.8 it still requires an ancient market and will not run any other version. i will have to dig around and find a tweaked version of market to include also.
new update will be up within the next couple of hours. i am working on it now. also sorry about the dl size while digging around the rom i noticed the size of xbin (which is where busybox is) talk about a massive error there. rom should be a few hundred megs smaller next go round.

Again sorry about the size of that one. At 4 am it is hard to remember to check all that stuff. I have beta 2.1 setup and I am testing it now. Although this is still a large rom at 317 megs it is better than that 560+ bs of beta 2. Also just about every extra app I added is located in the data partition so if you dont want or need it you can easily uninstall it.
The update will be done shortly I have to do a bit of work to get the installer script squared away since I am converting it over to the JB binary. With luck it will be on the servers before 3 PM CST!
Edit: Bad news for yall status 7 people. The JB binary is having issues with this rom. I am going to try making a new kind of install and see it I can get yall on this too. It will be flashed from the bootloader like a RUU if I can make it work. Keep your eye out for the beta 2.1 RUU style release. Until then yall are still a no go on CyanMobile. SORRY
Well this sucks. Started upload over hour ago and only at 5% with estimated 6+ hrs remaining. Going to try uploading from my cell with es file explorers sftp feature. Might only take two hours that way.
