It might brick your phone, it might permanently break 4G, it might kill your kitten.
I take no responsibility for any problems from this ROM, including but not limited to poor reception, deleting your entire Facebook account, or causing nuclear warfare.
It is also not much of an original work. I basically just get my kanging on with some ROMs before I load them, and someone had mentioned they might be interested.
Basically I am an AOSP fan, and really liked Bugless Beast 0.4. As bugs were found and Pete moved away from the EVO tjohnsonjr's NonSense became the spiritual successor for some of us. This ROM just takes it a small step further.
Removed
- Device Self Service
- Boot up sound
Added
- AOSP Calendar
- Eliot Stocker Music app (from CM and DC)
- BB v.4 launcher and home
- Bugless Beast Tips
- I put the Adobe Flash apk in, haven't tested it yet
- Quick Boot
- Spare Parts
- multitouch keyboard (also has AOSP and HTC IME)
- Lots of FCs
Uninstallable
- Beast Tips
- Adobe Flashplayer <- might or might not work
- quickboot
- Corp Cal
- ES File Explorer
- HTC Photo Album <- might break something
- Spare Parts
- Sprint TV
- Sprint VVM
- Weather <- might break something
I left the HTC browser, because it will still support double tap to resize, and the HTC copy and paste tool. It just sucks that it only allows 4 tabs. I did not put in a lot of the stuff people typically put in like Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, etc. since they will be out of date so soon anyway.
I have been mostly using CM6 instead of this, and had to kinda remake it, and it isn't very well tested. In fact I am currently in Mexico on vacation so I haven't been able to test the phone or data connections.
If you find something wrong, just post it here so I can ignore it, or maybe make fun of you. If it breaks your phone, you are welcome to whine here. If you post your mailing address I will either send a new phone to you to replace it, or stick a smelly dead fish in your mailbox, or not do anything at all. More than likely the last option.
I don't know why you would want to run this instead of a smooth running ROM that has actually had bugs fixed and won't FC every 3 minutes. CM6 is really strong as a 2.2 right now, and the official 2.2 is kinda out/will be out for real in days. DC and Fresh and NonSense and Baked Snack and many others are killer 2.1 ROMs that give you more features, stability, and battery life than stock. I sure don't plan to run this, or support it. Those guys really know what they are doing.... I can't even figure out how to change the default wallpaper without breaking stuff.
This ROM is just lame.
If you are still interested I suggest talking to a doctor. And you can grab it from the link right here.
Of course a big thanks to all the people I have totally mooched off of. I'm missing some, but off the top of my head.

If this is merely bb4 without the awake bug, I want it. Any word on that?

It's not really BB 4, but I THINK it won't have the awake bug. The awake bug seems to have something to do with all the stuff he pulled out. The NonSense ROM is much more conservative on what it removes (HTC Dialer is still in there for instance).
What do people like about Bugless Beast? The more I know what in particular to bring over, the better this will be.
I could also try to grab BBv4 and fix it, but it is pretty old at this point (pre 1.47) and it doesn't seem worth the effort.
That said, if I keep this going it will more than likely become a CM6 base with tweaks, since it is true AOSP, not just sense with AOSP apps hacked in.

As long as someone at least got a giggle out of the OP, even if no one runs the ROM, it is a success.
What do you guys want out of a Froyo build that isn't already in CM6? Things are too crazy at work right now to have something out very soon, but I'm game to do more. I just don't know what AOSP people want that isn't already in CM.

Stock AOSP ROM with working 4G and HDMI. Only pre-installed with the basic apps.

A Rom that connects me to Jesus...

An AOSP rom. And when I say that, I know that there are some things that are proprietary to get some things working, and that would be fine by me.
So an CTAOSP rom

Definetly an AOSP rom with all working stock functions, 4g, HDMI, cameras.
OC'able kernel with FPS Fix and themed, (ManUp is awesome)
It would just be real nice to get a bare bones AOSP with everything working and we can decide on the apps.

Bare bones so we can decide on apps, great!
AOSP with everything working, GREAT!
Themed...not so great. leave it unthemed so we can decide on a theme ourselves. Im not particularly fond of clear notification bars and lock screens myself.

I would also like an AOSP rom, hopefully as bare as possible, without any sense/htc elements.
The most important things for me are speed (response), battery life, and stability.
It should only include the essential apps, maybe with whatever apps others vote on if there is a high enough demand, with anything that is not absolutely necessary uninstallable.
It should also incorporate any upgrades/fixes that will improve stock settings, though it is understandable that most of these come from custom kernels.
I would definitely not want it to be themed. People can install themes if they want but I think it would work better for everyone if they could choose what they want on their phone.
A second post aggregating as many of the add-ons/themes/apps/fixes devs here at xda have made would also be really useful.
All in all, I am really hopeful, since there aren't many AOSP roms and there seems to be a good demand for one.

AOSP Fresh. Flipz fresh evo rom is the best. I would rather see it without sense or any htc apps except what is needed, if any, for all functions to work. I like cyanogen but it isn't fully functional on the evo. So, Fresh AOSP all stock. User can change theme etc...
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G with Sprint

I'm not really sure why AOSP gets all the love it gets...it's just not my thing. Looks boring and cheap BUT thats just me.
I'm not a huge fan of the sense launcher or the rosie dock but the widgets can't be matched no matter how many apps you download =p
But honestly, there are plenty of nice sense based roms here...I'm not sure there is anything else that could really be done to improve on them...so an AOSP would prolly be my vote.
IMO, I would rather see more themes...nobody likes to theme the EVO it seems..

[THEME] [Burst] PlurStarAlpha

I figured I would make a bit more of an official release on this theme since it is coming along nicely. Still a work in progress but just a little somethin' somethin' to make Sense a little bit better. Enjoys!
Made for Fresh but can be used on more? I dunno. (Willing to make more compatible, just ask.)
***Do Nandroid Backup Before Flashing!***
No need to wipe any caches. Flashing the ZIP will do the work for you.
Use RECOVERY mode to flash ZIP file then REBOOT.
[Burst] PlurStarAlpha
http://www.mediafire.com/?wrwi9v1ivtp46o4
Includes:
Custom Notification bar Icons (Did I miss some you use that I don't? Holla at me!)
Mods By Barnacles (Modded framework for smooth animations in the notification bar. Notice on the second pic the battery has a 99 on it... goes thorugh each percentages.)
Some images from the DarkStar theme. Thanks to those guys for the inspiration long ago!
Custom window animations (flip) by Stale Bread (Awesome! +1)
Custom HTC_IME thanks to Jonasl and gIMpSTa
New font (!!!! omg he changed it?!!)
Custom Rosie (clear bottom bar)
Work in progress:
Dialer (Normally it is ok but in-call is still not right)
Modded MMS (Black menu, White text) <--- Also anything else that is black text on white background
Modded Rosie (Remap of Buttons)
Prolly gonna bring the Rosie project out into the Dev forum since some of that is beyond my knowledge base.
Weeee!!!! But first, TUBING!
Fine Print: It is usually best to flash themes over a stock look so that the themes don't get mixed up. This theme is made to be flashed over a stock sense look being that it mods only a small number of apk's.

excellent theme. Love the minimal look to the ui, especially the all black items and the different animations for screen changes.

Same error on my device, Fresh 3.1.0.2.

Working great on baked snack 1.5 kernel #5, but i am getting a FC when trying to change my input method to HTC_IME keyboard... I didn't check before flashing this, but maybe it is not included in BS1.5.
I know you said the install modify's a few apks, and if it wasnt installed before i flashed this theme, i believe i've found the culprit.
do you think you can post the IME keyboard apk so I can test this out?

My battery life is depleting fast. Anyone else?

yea, I seem to be having this issue as well. Not sure why.

Yeah I kinda noticed this as well. Although my time left is still about the same at 18 hours on heavy usage. For me it took a bit to get used to seeing every percentage. Still doing some testing though. What kernel are yall using?

Just wondering if this theme is working with Fresh 3.1.0.2 yet? Really want to try this theme out.

BOOMSICK!
I'm Loving this theme after using for a couple days. I don't think this Theme is getting the props it deserves. Its minimal, sleek and The new animations are REALLY WICKED when you set spare parts to Window Animations = Normal/Fast and Transition Speed = Fast, this thing feels like it should be android 2.3 lol
I know alot of people use Fresh ROM, but please do not replace this version with one that is compatible with both cuz it may not work for us non-Fresh users. I will be willing to test any upcoming builds for you, OP, just let me know.
Just wondering here, what other themes have these animations? any?

Wow! Thanks major for the kind words. It is bad ass isnt it.
Others waiting to be made, some need to be redone first but more on the way for sure. It is just hard to juggle time between work, school, girlfriend, beers, jager bombs, dancing, deving, sleeping, eating, banging, some more jager bombs, and eventually theming. Not to mention I have to constantly avoid TJDucketts' hate stick.
Did I mention I like to party?
I would be at it HARD today but it is my bday soooooooo...... going to test drive my birthday present to myself.
This weekend I promise updates. (I hope)

[ROM-AOSP][02-23-2012] Evervolv | GRJ90/Android 2.3.5 | v1.2.0a3 | Updated Links

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to finally bring you the Evervolv series of ROM's.
First thing I would like to say is that this rom would not be possible without the CyanogenMod team. I am merely here to bring you how I like my phone setup and give you more options over a base build of the gingerbread genre. My qualifications are inferior to what is required on some of the fixes that were made. Thus I rely on the CyanogenMod Team for their expertise in these fields.
The current team of Evervolv constists of:
preludedrew - Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, Evo Shift 4G & Nexus one maintainer; overall support & development
mwielgosz - Liberty, Evo 4G, Evo 3D maintainer; Java development
cocide - Evo 4G; Web; Linux and overall support & development; Viewsonic GTab maintainer/support
milesje - Evo 4G; java and overall support & development
Adhvanit - Graphics and Droid Incredible support.
RyteSyde - web and graphics development; Evo Shift 4G support
TpyoKnig - Web support and hosting.
smoothtaste - heroc support/maintainer

This is an ALPHA release of Evervolv for the HTC Liberty. If you have issues, please report them in this thread.
Screenshots of the ROM in action can be seen Here - Screenshots
Downloads:
http://goo-inside.me/devs/crossbones/unsupported/evervolv/aria
* 1.2.0a3 is a nightly build, not sure how stable it is
* 1.2.0a2 is the confirmed stable build
Make sure to do a full wipe, even if you're coming from an older build, just to make sure.

Q&A
Is this CM7?
No, this is a build that started from AOSP. However, some of the fixes and few features have been derived from the CyanogenMod Team, including the CM kernel.
How social is the evervolv team?
You can join us on IRC, irc.freenode.net #evervolv. Or follow preludedrew and the status of Evervolv @preludedrew on twitter.
For updates on development from mwielgosz, follow @Xbones_dev on twitter!

Sweet! May try this out soon

It's not 100% ready for mainstream use but I expect that to change in the next day or so. Also, there are a number of tweaks and modifications that were part of the Savaged-Zen ROM (my old dev team) that I wrote which I plan on bringing into Evervolv once time allows.
That said, expect some cool stuff to happen with this ROM over the next few weeks!

Very cool! Can't wait to try it out

Sleek!
Promising!
Thanks!
Tried it out. Hardware functions seem to work well. Was able to Bluetooth pair with my laptop and transfer a file (can't find my headset ATM). WiFi seems to work well, GPS lock was quick indoors. I don't know if it's just the weather or what, but GPS seems better than CM7. That is, if I exit Maps and do some other stuff for a few mins, CM7 would always try (and struggle) to locate me again, even if I haven't moved. This ROM seems to retain that info better, if that makes any sense.
Status bar notifications seem to be working. My wifi icon turned green when connecting to Google services, but not the signal bars--don't know if that is by design.
Power widgets are nice and work well.
Sent and received an SMS without problems.
Really like the slide up dock tray in the launcher!
Forgot to test hotspot...
hope this helps some
Edit: but yes, there are a ton of Google framework/Apps FCs, which you already know about.

great！waiting for more stable version soon,thank you!

phone/dialer fc's every time I open it, but other than that I love it.

Awesome. Been waiting for pure AOSP experience. I'll give this a shot later on today. Thanks for adding another ROM to the Liberty Collection!

For an alpha this is very stable and snappy.
Just a constructive remark: the choice of the font needs to be re-evaluated, it makes certain things very hard to read...not very "ergonomic" to the eyes...
Keep up the good work !

I agree with the change of font and we've talked internally about this matter. I'm going to post flashable zips with stock and good looking fonts soon. The default font included won't change but I will offer options soon.
There is a thread in the evo4g forums that offer over 300 flashable fonts. They work with this rom and are worth looking into. Personally, I prefer the Ubuntu 10.10 font offered in that thread.

I haven't flashed this yet, but see if replacing DroidSans.tff & DroidSans-Bold.tff in /system/fonts does the trick. You could pickup the CM7 fonts, or try any other True-Type font.
EDIT: Type Fresh, created by XDA member openback, also lets you change fonts. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/type-fresh-change-fonts-on-your-rooted-android-device/

Just tried it, pretty smooth. A few things that bug me: 1, the colorized icons, maybe make a flashable zip that make them stock again? 2, the font, already been covered so I ain't gonna say much except that when I flash the Ubuntu font, some letters are boxes, happens in other ROMs too. Fixable? And that's all I gotta say, otherwise I really like it, good job!

[ROM] HexperiaC-CM7.2 Stable: Updated 7/18/12

rom updated to cm7.2 stable and deodexed. nothing else changed, as the vibe i get is its pretty darn good as it sits.
this one was easy, its the cm7.2 stable base, with stuff added on top of it. i tried out ra3al's xperia home replacement, and boy was my mind blown. its just elegant, plain and simple. and it runs pretty good on our hero's too.
things added:
xperia s launcher and widgets from ra3al
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
xperia s boot animation
and i added the default wallpaper from ra3al's wallpaper pack available in his app's thread, and added xperia s fonts.
im not a developer, i just borrow things i think are mind blowing. if you want and see fit to, please find donate links for ra3al. he is a real dev, and is insanely talented. all praise to him and other devs.
this is cm7.2 final for our heroc's straight from cyanogenmod, so if something doesnt work that is not related to the xperia apps or theme, please ask cyanogenmod.
everything should work, except for an already known about bug with the tools widget. the brightness setting will fc, and its because i havnt had the chance to sign all of ra3al's apps and this rom with the same stuff. im looking into it.
i suggest using an app such as script manager and using a script such as v6 supercharger to supercharge rom and bulletproof launcher.
also please flash a gb gapps package after installing
now for the download link:
HexperiaC

happy flashing!
and if you have any feedback, requests, etc, please let me know

Will test tonight report back later

Same here. I saw this ROM on my HTC Evo Shift, I tried it and the widgets didn't work. Hopefully our heros can top that! I do miss the trackball from my hero though. Very helpful in Clockwork! I'll post back when I try it out when I have time!

Running smooth. Really like the launcher and animations. Probably going to keep it till my upgrade in July.

=====> whoshotjr2006
Thank you so much for bringing this smokin' port to the HeroC. I have tried CM 07 previously but this version seriously rocks our lowly Hero!!!!!!!!!! By far, hands down the best ROM I have run on this device...smooth and fast and I have encountered zero issues running this as my daily on Sprint!

sorry it took me so long to respond but im absolutely glad you like it nukeboy

May I ask what have you've changed/added except the launcher? I want to do a same project using the launcher, which is a great app with mind blowing animations, and porting will be time consuming instead of just making my own mod.
Cheers

hey 1ceb0x
i added the launcher and all the associated apks to a clean fresh copy of cm7.2rc3 (which by the way i need to update this so its cm7.2final)
link to launcher and widgets download: http://boekenhuis.net/xperia/xperia_s_home.html
i messed with framework-res.apk and changed out the default wallpaper also
for boot animation, i found an xperia one on google somewhere, cant remember the link off hand
and i replaced some fonts with xperia ones i found through google search (can remember link either).
hope that helps.

The smoothest rom yet!
However, programs sometimes take a long time to load: gmaps, browser, and slacker. I'm assuming these programs expect a faster phone?
I'm not sure, but it seems better than other roms.

yeah some things will be a little bit slow, the pace of android is almost starting to leave us in the dust.
glad you like this rom, and when i get a chance ill update it to cm7.2 final and reupload

Giving this Rom a go. Install and boot went well. Pretty fast 1st boot up. Started up the Market and took two or three times to get to initial screen. Been searching for a couple apps but it seems to stick in loading cycle, and rebooted a couple times but still struggling to find any apps from search as they continue to stick in Loading. Appears to be quick and responsive with touch and movement so far. OK after about five minutes the app Titanium Backup finally came up.

hey cheyennemtn,
glad you like it. those market screwups could have been the market updating, as the gapps usually offered are not exactly bleeding edge.
for titanium backup, i dont personally use it so i can attest to the speed or lack therof on hexperiac, but it could be due to the fact that the heroc is getting older by the day and many programmers are leaving us in the dust left and right.
thanks for testing! if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. im gonna update this when i get a chance to cm7.2 final, so that might make things move a little smoother also.

Cool
Finally installed gapps!

Great Rom
Anyone who stills owns the Hero has to try this Rom. Extremely smooth once everything warms up. Use it with V6 supercharger and it is awesome for a device that is as old as ours.

as a wifi enabled device only
i love going back to the Hero and checking out new ROMs. good work on this one, fun! i primarily use it in airplane mode (with wifi on).
i'm kind of surprised no one has put out (that i've seen) a ROM that removes the radio, dialer and messaging apps. i wonder if i could remove the apps with titanium without screwing things up. no big deal but it would be nice to not see the No Service message.
