Installing / First Install of 1.2+ Guide:
1) Flash RecoveryMod.zip (credit to Klothius), you won't be able to install other custom ROMs than mine (unless they use the same MTD config as I do) until you revert the RecoveryMod!
2) Reboot into recovery again, format system, data & cache in the partitions menu
3) Flash the ROM
( 4) If you get a force-close after booting, flash the fix below.)
Updating the ROM guide:
1) Just flash the ROM
( 2) If you get a force-close after booting, flash the fix below.)
Why is the RecoveryMod necessary?
The ROM is using a modified Kernel commandline to change the partitioning, to be exact, it changes the sizes so you get more space on /data.
A custom recovery is needed, because a normal recovery would flash to wrong sectors in the NAND, so the flashed boot.img, which contains initialization scripts, wouldn't be able to recognize and read the system files.
Revert Recovery Guide:
1) Download ROM Manager from the Android Market
2) Flash the recovery via the first option in the app
3) Put another ROM on your SDcard
4) Reboot into recovery MANUALLY
5) Format all partitions except the SDCARD in the partitions menu
6) Flash the other ROM

looks fantastic, with a2sd it would be even better, when will the release be out, looking very attractive

good choice on kernel, when other devs switch to that kernel (such as robomix) their performance jumps to the top of the list LoL.
I like what I'm reading

Can confirm apps2sd is working.

Ahh we cross meet over the threads again xD
Anyways this ROM seems to be pretty nice. Good performance and I really like FrindStream and the legend stuff

maxisma, thank you for including United States English. I'm tired of sense roms giving me a british accent in google nav and british news sources in google news+weather widget.
However, adding a canadian locale would be even better sir!

Yes, I can do that, if you tell me the code for it, US English would equal
en_US, so Canadian would be en_CA, right?

JIT
JIT patch not available in the link?

nice rom, running terrific!
only (super low priority) suggestion I have is that maybe you could consider making the lockscreen semi-transparent rather than 100% transparent? it's really confusing to anyone other than me. coworked picked it up and tried tapping things and thought it was broken, I told them to drag it down. voila, but it's a little misleading.
it's really not important though - and definitely a matter of taste.

this seems to be incredibly quick though!!

if this adds Canadian locale this will be my new permanent rom.
us Canadians never get any love

Hi Maxisma,
Just wanted to say that this rom is really great.
Super smooth and friggin' fast ( even without OC )...
Only thing not working for me is the JIT patch but since JIT doesn't work on any 2.1 rom for me that's not an issue
*yeay flippin' flipclock is back

A question about the ROM, when you specify "- Battery percentage indicator" does that mean CyanogenMOD-like indicator or a widget or so?

08/Jun r4 WIP pre-release - MoDaCo Custom ROM for GSM Hero 2.1

All credit goes to Paul over at Modaco "not me lol i just copy and paste it all lol"
I'm pleased to present a WIP (work in progress) pre-release of my next Android 2.1 based MoDaCo Custom ROM for the GSM HTC Hero! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
This is a sneak preview of the base that i'll be using for the full MCR release... to give you all a chance to play, tweak, test, comment etc. etc.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed. You can read more about how to install a CRI on your device in this topic.
Features Included
•Based on the Chungwa 2.1 release
•Rooted with Superuser 2.1 by ChainsDD
•Built with the latest version of MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
•STOCK KERNEL
•Rooted boot image with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK
•busybox with Droid Explorer support
•terminfo and settings in boot.img to allow nano etc. use
•System dalvik-cache moved to /cache partition (cachedalvikcache)
•MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
•Added HTC_IME from Legend
•Added APN database to enable auto-configuration of Euro APNs
•Added Click-Drag rearrange to Rosie / Sense
•Added Voice Dialer
•Added Voice Search with optional standard android keyboard
•Updated Google Maps
•Optional dropbear (SSH server, username 'root, port 2222, password displayed in 'About' screen)
•Optional A2SD and A2SD+ (old style) via the online kitchen
•Optional baked in Wavesecure via the online kitchen (installed to system partition for maximum security)
•Optional WiFi Status indicator
•Removed Chinese content (will be available as an optional kitchen component)
•Completely de-odexed for optimal customisability
To install this ROM:
•Ensure you have a custom recovery image installed (see 'requirements' above)
•Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card
•Restart your device in recovery mode (power on with the home button pressed)
•PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP FROM THE MENU
•Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card
Note: As this is a non-odexed build, the first boot will take a while. After you have completed your initial setup, I recommend rebooting to allow the cachedalvikcache script to free up space on /data.
Upgrading
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.

This Rom is very fast and stable, good job Paul !
[*Edit ] -> After the first reboot, the "com.google.process.gapps" stop unexpectedly... and the phone is unusable...
Will we be able to to replace the kernel with an OC one in the final version, like we can on other roms?
I'm having issues such as my device hangs/freezes during use. Then after awaile it reboots. Does anyone have a similar problem?
after using it for while i have actualy had the freeze reboot 9 x and the .com process 6 x lol but its in beta so it will be fixed

Had a couple of force closes after installing my apps like swype ,so would advise against installing this until paul releases the new version
Yep I spoke too soon,... done a reboot, then everything went crazy!
It's back up now - just setting up, so far so good!
Just tried the second release of the ROM and loving it!
Really quick and no FC's yet.
Is it multilanguage? Include simple Chinse?
I think no chinese
From the features:
Removed Chinese content (will be available as an optional kitchen component)
Everything seems okay, but music player keeps FCing, and having the widget on the dekstop raises an FC every few mins
r5 is public.

About JDMS
Me,crawlingcity and mattfmartin got together on irc and decided to work as a team to provide you guys BEST non sense build up date. Its based off Ultimate Droid 2.5 which is based on clean AOSP source.We worked on it for 2 days and we got the results, ITS FREAKING FAST!!! I hope you guys will like it just like we are.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CLICK ME OR SUFFER!​
IMPORTANT=READ!!​​This build has something new to the hd2 community, custom commands. You can find them in the ultimate menu (settings -> ultimate (1st menu)). You can mess around all you want, but be advised, there some dangerous and powerful commands there, if you don't know what you're doing, don't touch them
DISCLAIMER​This build is provided as is. Everything works with the kernel provided (hastarin 8.5.1_oldcam). If you change to another kernel such as MDJ and something stops working, we won't be hold responsible. If you change anything and still complain, your post will be ignored.

Working
Everything is working for me...
Installition and tips
Extract the Android folder (with all files in in) to root of your SD Card. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
- You canot keep your data.img from other roms... Do a clean install please..(You can try if you want but don't come here crying )
- If you already have an Android folder on your SD Card DELETE IT OR RENAME IT, because this version MAY BE INCOMPATIBILE with older releases !!!
- After copyng everything to your SD Card ensure you have at least 600 Mb free space for data store
- After you have done all steps go into Android folder and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET.
- If you get some strange errors, or Android does not work, try to reformat SD card and try everything from the start.
If that does not help, I suggest you to change your rom and radio with my personal ones(Check my siggy!!!)

Build MiniChangelog:
Code:
beta 2.2
•gps fix included (credit to gauner and diem)
•loud voice fix (still robot voice on first call)
•multitouch fixed (gmaps 5)
•tweaked initrd
•crw_kernel - OC enabled to 1.3, default at 998 and UnderVolt added - see kernel changelog
•EB kernel (flashed apart)
beta 2.1
•changed initrd to ensure Android is using /cache partition
I recommend using at least a 30mb cache partition, although i tested
with 20mb and Angry Birds (my test app) is downloaded and installs
all this cache talk resumes in: less cache, more user data (for leo512 users).
I repeat, i recommend at least 30mb
•improved build performance, it's even smoother now (or should be)
•changed default music app to miui-music player from 1.6.2
•included my kernel - r1.2
PS: you might experience a longer boot time, this is normal.
beta 2
•fixed market not downloading some apps
•implemented ram the way it should be done
credit to darkstone for the method
beta 1.1
•fix data
•crawlingcity kernel r1 - No OC, No UV, SMARTASS, gsensor patch and more
beta 1.0
•gps fixed
•new gapps (including new market)
•FC on some apps fixed.

Kernel Only r1.2 - use CWM to flash - http://www.multiupload.com/8UHYTHSJDI
Kernel Only EB - use CWM to flash - http://www.multiupload.com/Y5GTTXGPIC
this EB is hastarin's r8.6 with RMNET, several filesystems (yaffs2 - to boot from nand)
zip layout not compatible with previous build versions - made for ram
Kernel MiniChangelog:
Code:
r1.3
•added OC - default is 998
•added UV - optional - use hastarin's UV script for this - get it [URL="http://www.multiupload.com/CDQSTRZ3CT"]here[/URL]
(if you don't know how to tweak this, don't touch the files. just use the kernel without any tweaks)
r1.2
•minor tweaks to yaffs2 performance
r1.1
•some cleanups
r1.0
•fixed SMARTASS
TODO:
Code:
Code:
- arabic support
- option to data2sd
Recommendations and advices:
•Space available for EU_LEO 180mb - more than enough to me
•Don't choose reboot, choose shutdown. (some users will have high battery drain using reboot, i don't have it. the choice is yours)
•Robot voice - known issue - first call, turn speaker on, turn off speaker, end call. no more robot voice. if you do have robot voice again, repeat the process.
After a while you really need to do a backup, use the CWM backup fonction (it works well), to access it turn off you're phone and press the power button for 10s and you will boot on MAGLDR choose the "Boot AD SD"
CAUTION: when restoring with CWM do NOT restore system or boot, just restore data and/or cache. If you restore system and boot you're are reverting to the previous version (rom and kernel). Go into advance restore - pick your restore point - choose data. If you want to restore extra user Apps i recommend using mybackup or titanium backup
If you have app2sd backup it as well.

Are these screen shots belong to this build?
I saw the build number as '' FRF 91'' But you said this is based on 'FRG 33'
Is it really based on FRG33?
Just asking because the last picture show FRF99.
It is always nice to see new builders Keep up.
Greetings, Santroph.

[5 FEB]MarkinuX HD Extra Clean V1.71 [app2sd+, DesHD-WO Sense, DailyUse] [KERNEL?]

Hi!
I released a new ROM. The Idea behind it is a mix from HTC Hardwarelibs/Settings and APPs but without Sense. The Build is based on a new Desire HD Build (Android 2.2.1). I removed all HTC Widgeds, Sensestuff, etc. But I let some Apps, like Camera, Album, Musicplayer, Clock, EMail, Messanger, Keyboard, Twitter, etc. and you have the HTC System stuff, like the USB connection Menu. It's very nice and fast. As launcher is the Gingerbread Launcher installed.
Try it with e.g. Launcher Pro, Fancy Widget and Smooth Calender.
Working:
All
NotWorking:
- Customize in settings because it's sense connected. You can change background etc. with the long press on desktop.
FOR SMALL UPDATES LOOK IN POST 3
I added the app2sd+ mod. To enable it, you have to create a second partition on your sd card. But as first, BACKUP YOUR SD DATA !. The first one has to be the fat32 for normal sd use. Second ext2/3/4. 512 Mb for app data should be fine. I have 1.5 GB. If the partition exists, the system is using it for apps and other stuff. You have ca 200 MB Free on /data after this mod. Second good thing, if you install a update, you don't need to reinstall the apps, they are still there. If you don't create the second part, the data is like usually on nand. Automatic detection.
- You need MAGLDR 1.13
- NAND Build
- Prepared for CMR
- Kernel is almost stock from our git.
- Android 2.21
- You can create the partitions e.g. wirth gparted in linux (live cd boot for windows), or windows partition tools
- No OC or such stuff
- Interactive gouvernor
- completly cleaned initrd
- correct file rights
- rooted
- deodexed
- new busybox with many new system commands
- ENABLE: UseLast24NAND in magldr for sthis ROM!
It's made for daily use.
5mA standby
8mA with Bluetooth
For Overclocking use MDJs kernel, change the mtdblock0->mtdblock2 in batchfile!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831585
Simple download, extract, connect phone, run batch.
LOOK HERE FOR SD VERSION:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11136523#post11136523
New Update Version 1.7 to 1.7.1: (you need 1.7 installed)
- Fixed GSensor Calibration
- Fixed win-key unlocks Lockscreen
- Fixed some market problems in CMR build.
Extract download zip in root of sd (update.zip have to be then there), boot in magldr/ad recovery, do a backup, apply update.zip.
!DON'T USE MDJs KERNEL TILL HE HAS A NEW UPDATED VERSION!
Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/YAVL709FOA
New Version 1.7: !MAGLDR 1.13 needed!
- Fixed browser problems
- Removed flash. Try this one for a stable browser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=507808&d=1296746097
- Added Recovery partition, Full-DFT-Setup installs automaticly CMR 1.3 (is a recovery system for much android devices, you can do backups there, restors, install upates easy and much more, you can start it with ad recovery from magldr 1.13 after you flashed 1.7)
- Enable UseLast24NAND in magldr bevor you flash it (Go to MagLDR->Services->UseLast24NAND ->yes)
Download: BUILD INCL. CMR
http://www.multiupload.com/AGBQQY7V9B
For TMOUS users:
- Do NOT enable UseLast24NAND in magldr and replace the flash.cfg with this one
http://www.multiupload.com/2RMVQBQ2TB
Version 1.6:
- Fixed cache (market) for all
- Fixed power problems after first call (the 70mA)
- Fixed proximity/lightsensor power on/off
- Using now the FULL availible nand. You have to follow this steps:
-- After Backup, go to magldr
-- MagLDR-> Services -> UseLast24NAND
-- Activate it with yes (green), it means now we use full nand. It means we are using the last 24MB of NAND, which are default disabled.
Some people says there is the bootloader or such stuff. THIS IS NOT TRUE! This part of memory will be everytime if you flash something new like new magldr deleted, it's all. So you can only put there stuff, which is temporary there. So it's the best place for a cache partition! (it's a partitions where android stores temporary data). It's only disabled by default in MagLDR, because the roms have to prepared for it, like this.
!IMPORTANT: DEACTIVATE IT IF YOU USE OTHER ROM!
-- restart phone to magldr again
-- flash rom as usualy

3 x YES!
The main appeal of desire hd builds for me is the text-seletion facilities of the sense build, which makes typing so much better. And it's the main reason I'm using a gingerbread build right now. But HTC's text selection is still much better. I will give this build a try, but i'd rather have a ClockWorkMod build, which makes upgrading, backing up and restoring builds so much easier. Also, the abilty to overclock would be appreciated (not enabled by default).
Thanks for your effort.

cool thanks Markinus will give a try. i think you should make a more complete list of whats included and removed.
wow!! great idea!!
could you post the files to get social networking back please??
Has anyone else had a problem installing this rom? I installed everything fine, but after I go through the setup process it always fc the setup program, and it loops, so the only thing I can do is turn it off.
It's funny I just got it in my head to try another dhd rom, loaded the mdj lite rom and it worked fine but it doesn't have boot.img and doesn't work with clockwork recovery. I was really hoping to give this one a run.
Brilliant idea ! Now we don't have battery drains and have absolutely the best contact manager/dialer, text selection and other things BUT
- I have many FC in CLOCK, SETUP WIZARD, (sometimes) MAIL and I didn't check everything yet
- HTC Flashlight doesn't work
P.S. Please don't rip everything ... leave us things that don't slow down so much our phone and don't eat every byte of data space (I like integration with Facebook, sense home screen isn't needed for me)
Thank you very much, sir ! It's your second idea in absolutely oposite direction but again genius !
FC on Setup
Same issue here. FC during initial setup. Had to install another ROM. Will try again if there is a fix. I love DHD roms and especially without all the sense stuff in it
do i HAVE to partition my SD card to use this build?
I'm not worried about apps2sd and all that stuff....just want a small, quick smooth, bloat-free version of desire hd.
???
cheers

[GT-S5660][ROM] Jonas Hendrickx's ROM v3.1 [2.3.5][XXKS2]

Please, no default ROM manager. There are users who brick their phones using ROM manager, apparently without doing stupid things. Please see here: http://s5660.pl/temat-martwy-gio
forum is in polish, but google translate will do a good job
And if I'm allowed, please let me tell what I would like to see on a "generic" custom rom:
- rooted;
- root explorer integrated;
- deodexed;
- phone should not be unlock by menu (power) button + left touch button (as with gio versions);
- safe tweaks to memory;
- a2sd installed but not activated (I don't like logs full of errors from a2sd);
- GUI: icons from GIOpro_v3, CRT animation, unlock buttons from simplygio (the round blue-red ones, with a sharp corner) - or a separate theme (maybe editable by userd) that can be applied;
- default: launcher (can be changed by user, no big deal), music player, no app that can be installed simply from market or internet.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and (the most important!) your work with us!
Screenshot Please.
I also would like to not to have unlock by menu option.
Screenshots coming!
Do you guys mind I replaced the default messaging mms.apk with Go SMS Pro? Since there happens to be a bug in mms.apk on every Gio that makes the keyboard appear relatively slower.
v1.4 will feature Touchwiz launcher again, removed CWM

Go SMS Pro is free on the market, and removing mms.apk is easy with root explorer, isn't? I don't think you should bother replacing the default one.
In place, I propose to do something like Slax:simple updates that can be applied over the ROM, to add (or change) functionality.
so, for example, there should be one update to replace the default messaging application with Go SMS Pro.
is-it reasonable? it should help you to release a clean bug-free ROM, and users will not flash the whole system over and over again. IMHO this will be great.

Root Explorer suckes in my opinion...
Try looking for Advanced Tools (free)
It has a built in task manager which is able to see everything. Not just running programs, even the acore etc...
The file explorer is far superior to those I have seen. You also have like 4 tabs.
A build.prop editor is also in it.
If you guys want I will release a quick fix with just the Mms.apk and touchwiz30launcher.apk back in action. But I am actually working on ext2 conversion and support for /cache /data and /system for our phone... So far it works, I have Quadrant score of 1600

Advanced Tools is looking good, but I did not test-it enough (yet).
1600 on Quadrant is quite a good score, it just tell us that you are on the right way!
I understand that at this moment moving/extending some folders on the sdcard is the hardest part. What happens with the system when card is connected as storage on the PC? Only fat32 partition is unmounted? More...I'm almost sure that the speed of sdcard is inferior to the speed of internal storage, so moving everything on the card will slow-down the phone. Installing conventional linux on sdcard/usbstick is not recommended: usual read-write cycles of the OS wear the sdcard/usbstick very fast.
So, imho, only the storage folder of android OS should be moved.
I still vote for a minimum modified ROM, that will allow any other modification with only "updates" and simple file replace/edit on the OS.
and another thought: "free RAM is useless RAM",
in other words: internal memory of the phone should not be as empty as possibly... (it's like you have a fast car in the garage but you use a slow and hungry cart to drive)
GT-S5660M ?
Will this work on the Samsung GT-S5660M
This is apparently slightly different version that is sold in Canada by Bell and Virgin Mobile. This thread explains more about the differences
If I5660XXKQB works for your phone then this one will work as well.
My personal opinion is every model has its own firmware. For the best experience of your phone and the least bugs, you should use your own phone's firmware for your safety.
But I remember I5800 and I5801 being fully compatible with eachother. But this wasnt the case for I5000 and I5000L for example. Honestly I don't know it is you having that phone !

[ROM][12/12/2011] Virtuous G-Lite v2.0.1 :: GB AOSP HTC/G2 base 2.16.531.5

all files can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/#hbkiapdfla13i
bye.
Greetings!
As many of you know, G-Lite has been overdue for an update for some time now. There have been 2 T-Mobile OTA updates that G-Lite users haven't been able to take advantage of... until now.
After speaking with rmk, he's decided to allow me, tun4f1sh, to take over G-Lite development. I've rebased the ROM and cooked up a new kernel, and things are running OH-SO-SMOOTH. Here's all the stuff you'll need to know:
General info: G-Lite is a departure from other Virtuous ROMs in that it is effectively AOSP and designed to be lightweight, yet functional. If you find yourself discarding most of the features of Sense in favor of specific apps of your preference, this ROM is for you.
Features
Supported on the G2 and DesireZ only.
Minimalistic, lightweight ROM with +200MB of memory free at startup.
/system and user partitions partitioned and aligned with ext4.
Extremely battery efficient (dare I say, the BEST battery life of any Vision ROM?).
Based on Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.16.531.5, HTC's take on AOSP.
All device hardware fully functional, including wifi, bluetooth, camera, camcorder, etc.
Advanced power menu options (reboot/recovery)
Virtuous OC Daemon and memory optimizations.
Kernel 2.6.35.13 Vision Gingerbread kernel. Do NOT use AOSP kernels with this ROM (e.g. Pershoot, Cyanogen).
Market-sourced applications (Gmail, Maps, Voice, etc) automatically installed on first boot into /data/app for easy removal.
Replaced stock Gingerbread launcher with LauncherPro.
Wifi-Calling conditionally installed for US T-Mobile users.
Bloatware and unnecessary applications removed.
Rooted, deodexed.
All applications zipaligned on boot.
Trackpad wake fully supported.

Changelog
2.0.1
Code:
- Fixed installer script syntax error that was causing user preferences not to be applied. It was also causing extraneous data to be left behind possibly causing system instability (including notification bar lockups)
- Added option to use the "experimental" kernel compiled from MDJ's source (the kernel from 1.0.7).
- Create a "use_experimental_kernel" file in your /virtuous_glite directory to use the experimental kernel.
- The experimental kernel offers you more frequencies to overclock with, and has more features/functionality built into it (at the cost of stability/battery life in some cases, YMMV). See MDJ's github for more information on what's included.
2.0.0
Code:
- New kernel based more closely on HTC's source, and the original G-Lite kernel by rmk.
- Kernel changes:
- Rebased on HTC's original source (previously I used mdj's source)
- Fixed USB mounting (broken in HTC's source, was working with mdj's)
- Reduced Wifi voltage slightly
- Call volume levels slightly boosted
- Source: https://github.com/tun4f1sh/virtuous-kernel-7x30-gingerbread
- Screen on: ondemand 245->998
- Screen off: conservative 245->368
- Added "Reboot" and "Recovery" options to the shutdown menu (long press the "power" button)
- Create a "disable_apm" file in your /virtuous_glite directory to opt out of the feature and use the stock framework.
* NOTE: If you used UOT kitchen to theme the ROM, you'll need to redo your theme or opt out of APM as I've made framework changes.
- Replaced Mms.apk from TMO base with one compiled from AOSP. This resolves all MMS being converted to a slideshow.
- Replaced "4G" status icons with "H" icons.
- Create a "use_4g_icon" file in your /virtuous_glite directory to revert back to the 4G icons.
- Updated Market apps
- Removed all traces of Swype. Install it from their website if you want it.
- Removed some extra bloat from /system/app (~10mb)
- Removed htc_ebdlogd from /system/bin (Just to be safe, not sure if it has malicious/intrusive capabilities)
v1.0.7
Code:
- Fixed automatic mobile data connectivity (APNs) for international users.
- Included CM7 sensor driver (should resolve capacitive/qwerty backlight issues)
- SD Card read ahead set to 4096
v1.0.6
Code:
- EFS partition wiped during ROM flash (this should always be done when switching ROMs, just automating it to make your life easier)
- Added conditional trackpad wake (create "disable_trackpad_wake" file in your /sdcard/virtuous_glite directory to opt out of the feature)
- Fixed notification on LED not functioning (thanks cswroe for the tip)
- Added CM Tones, changed default from lame Tmo jingle :)
v1.0.5
Code:
- Fixed USB
- Fixed Camera
- Added ext4 support
- Added CM7 APN list
- Other fixes and things :)
v1.0.4
Code:
- Rebased on the latest T-Mobile US OTA 2.16.531.5
- Kernel patched up to version 2.6.35.14 (sources [url]http://goo.gl/yYUn7[/url], defconfig [url]http://goo.gl/VLfvV[/url])
- Market applications, superuser updated
- Zipalign script/binary added (thanks Darky, tsubus)
Customizing the ROM
By creating any combination of the following files (in bold) (contents do not matter) on your sdcard in the /virtuous_glite directory (create it if it does not exist) will allow you to customize the ROM to your liking. Once the files are in place, simply flash the ROM, and your settings will be picked up by the install script and your ROM will be customized accordingly. These preferences will persist between upgrades and re-flashes of the ROM.
use_stock_launcher - override the use of Launcher Pro in favor of the stock GIngerbread launcher.
disable_trackpad_wake - opt-out of trackpad wake feature
disable_apm - opt-out of advanced shutdown options (restart/recovery) and use stock framework.
use_4g_icon - use the "4G" (marketing) icon instead of the "H" icon.
use_experimental_kernel - use the older kernel (last seen in version 1.0.7) that's compiled from MDJ's source (with a few of my own fixes). This kernel allows more frequencies for overclocking, as well as some other features that MDJ has merged in. See his Github for more information. (Not supported)
Patches
Patches should be flashed via recovery after the ROM.
Desire-Z Physical Keyboard Patch - Flash this if you find that your physical keys aren't mapped correctly. Thanks to revolution48
Please don't forget to hit "thanks" and rate the thread high if you enjoy the ROM!

Does this rom has dutch language?
International users, please let me know if the Wi-Fi calling auto removal goes over without a hitch. It's the same logic from the other Virtuous ROMs, so it SHOULD work.

No, English and Spanish are the only languages HTC included. Sorry
why tun4 why... I just got sense 3.5 set up nicely.. looks like its going to nandroid. ill give this a shot, thanks
EDIT: Is there extended settings or is the notification bar blank? this is a no no for me ): because i do not know what to replace the toggles with
Very nice I am downloading this as I type this. I will report back if there is any problems, but chances are, I won't which means I will be one happy camper.
erichung, there was no extended settings in the previous version, so I seriously doubt it will be in here.

Disappointing..
I just finished doing a complete wipe via CWR, flashed the ROM and have been using it for the last couple of minutes.
tun4fish, I am very much thankful for your work and pushing for G-Lite to getting its much needed update. With that being said, I am by no means whining about the things I'm about to post below, but just small things I came across already and I thought maybe this would be considered feedback and to help towards that original G-Lite feel to it. Much thanks for your work!
- Just like in the previous version, the power control widget is usable only after applying to a homescreen and rebooting.
- Some bloatware that was removed in 1.0.3 seem to have made a comeback in this version. Such apps included are Setup and News and Weather. Nothing that Titanium Backup can't fix, but still.
- Battery indicator is AOSP, while 1.0.3 had a different mod (I have no idea who it belongs to)
Again, thank you very much for making me a happy camper with my G2 all over again. Your work is much appreciated.
erichung, for confirmation sakes, there is no extended settings. Sorry
Well well it's nice to see this I have been waiting quite awhile. Many thanks for taking over the project. I can't wait to get this installed and give it a spin.

Can anyone else confirm that their camera isn't working?

Thanks. I've confirmed it's a kernel issue. I'll try to fix it and compile a new kernel ASAP.

Can anyone fill me in on the improvements the OTA bring? I mean, it will be improvements, but what exactly are the biggest changes?
Thanks for releasing this Tuna, will be flashing this tonight and let you know what I think
EDIT: Also, any thoughts on Google not redownloading my apps?
Thanks for the camera fix!
Anyone having issues with the Power Control widget? Not working for mine
FIXED: Rebooted and works fine. Sorry guys
Nice to hear there's an update . Does anyone know if the build in FM radio is supported in this ROM? The previous G-lite didn't. Thanks....
Does not seem to support ext4 like previous version.
