This ROM is based on Orange Desire HD 1.84.61.2
Intrudution:
This ROM was made for HD2 EU and is meant to be as much "stock" ROM as possible. Most used tweaks are here just to overcome HD2 EU version lack of NAND space. Desire HD base was used as a most stable and feature rich ATM. I hope 2.6.35 kernel will bring us the new possibilities.
Features:
- Orange branding removed.
- Fully stock (only AdobeReader, YouTube, QuickOffice, Gmail and Twitter removed, you may get new versions from Market).
- TTS, voice recognition, themes, ringtones, wallpapers are all still here.
- aGPS lib v2.1 from tytung (US as default).
- Framework cache in RAM (modified imilka's method).
- Dalvik cache on NAND.
- All applications are on SD-EXT partition.
- SU application added.
- andrev_oc daemon added with Daemon Controller application.
- Rafigna's 1.9 kernel with AUO panels patch.
A word of advice:
- Do not use and third party Apps2SD solutions on this ROM. Results are unpredictable. The same applies to dalvik-cache movements. And, it is a really bad idea to put dalvik-cache on SD-EXT, really.
- ROM must be rebooted at least once for RAM method to work.
Installation:
- MAGLDR only for now, sorry. Maybe later.
- 160 mb partition should be enough (or even 150 mb, I just didn't test). 1 Gb or so EXT partition.

I think i am first here i am downloading now . Thank you very much for your work
What about flash player 11 ?
And free ram mb ?
Thank you again
First off : Thank you for providing us a 2.2.1 Sense ! 3.0/3.5 are overrated on this device !
Quick question : is the remark about the "not a good idea to move the dalvik to ext" only good for this rom or is it a general remark ? I'm interested in knowing why if it's the second answer...
Thanks !

1. Currently I have FP 11 installed and see no problems. But I rarely use browser, so you better see it for youself.
2. Hell if I know, but framework in RAM makes it 35 mb less.
Well, some people say that the sd cards are faster than nand but more easily corrupted.

1. It's 2.0 sense. Unfortunately.
2. The first reason was already given. NAND is faster on read than SD. At least it should be. And it is most certanly faster on random access reads. And the second one is much more funny and complicated. Then you move your applications and dalvik-cache to SD-EXT you have about 180 mb NAND free (or so). But they are most certanly not used. Apps are on SD, cache is on SD.

im ok with sense 2.0 except unlock and answer slider. can you make ring work for answer in this version ?
So I put the rom is the same turns out to be very fast and stable, 2 possible bugs found then the browser crashes by default is also not automatically update the date and time ...... possible solutions?
P.S. I tried putting Dolphin HD Broswer same crash when opening
The pass-through mode, or better Internet does not work out, but the icon does not use the internet PC
Is this froyo or gingerbread? i put this rom thru the kitchen to make a cLK version and im using gingerbread kernels but the rom is saying 2.2.1

Well obviously its going to say that, because it is!
It clealy states that its Froyo (2.2) in title, and you can also tell from the sense screens.

from your statement i thought it was GB and the 2.2.1 was a typo because froyo sense is 2.0! There is sense 2.1 GB and 3.0 sense GB and 3.5 sense GB. Just to answer your question.
Hi WARP ItSelf, I like to know in your opinion why I should test your rom if I have Mikhei777 one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259110 and for me works very fine.
Perhaps yours obtain more available free space for apps?
Thanks for your reply.

Its entirely upto you to test the ROM. to be more precise there are two types of HD2 users out here. Either EU or T-Mobile.
So if you go to Mikhei777 rom, you can see he did not restrict his ROM to EU version, meaning if you installed his rom on EU version, then you gotta do all the basics to avoid memory errors and also move almost all apps to SD
Coming to this rom, the way i see from the topic label also this ROM is more suited towards EU users who have less space after installing Sense based roms.
Apart from these things, there are wonderful chefs out there. Sometimes there own personal tweaks make the rom for US end users so smooth and a better choice then the predecessor roms we tried.
So you gotta try it to know it. Thats my policy.
Just thought i would share my personal thought with you as well.

Sorry, if I understand it right:
1. Browser crashes.
2. Time is not automatically updated from operator.
If so - I currently don't have such problems. We need a third independent opinion. Please check partition size.

Mikhei777's ROMs are quite good. For me his Froyo ROM was "no go", because I need Voice Recognition working and I had some FCs (but it's probably my fault). The "stock" feeling is very meaningful to me. Moving all applications to NAND will eat EU HD2 space rather quickly (especially if you prefer heavy ones as navigation and games) and using Apps2SD you will have almost the same experience as you will have using my ROM (depends on moving preinstalled apps and dalvik-cache to SD). So you are free to try but do not expect a miracle.

I don't think Sense 3 ring will work with Sense 2 as it does with 2.1. But I will try if I have time.
since GB was so buggy, froyo was my 1st priority, especially if it's stock, what a great. Thank You Sir, i'm having EU HD2 so sure I will download and try this ROM.

Looks good. I didn't see this when I went about making almost the same ROM, including Tara Tike's removals.
I think we both have the same problem with Asian and European ROMs that our accelerometer (and maybe something else too) doesn't work, which means we won't get to run CM7 or other fun ROMs without porting it to the TMOUS kernel.
What I'd like to do now is get Melethron's data2Whatever working, which would give us unlimited system storage (well up to 2GB). Even with 120mb free I still think there is a lot that could be gained with D2WE.
Other than that, I'd really like to figure out how to port the CM7 version to our state-side phones.
Anyway, let me know if you're interested.
Thanks for your insight. I'm interested but I'm actually not good at programming. If anything I can do to help I can try or test for you but as far as porting kernels I have no idea.

I got a couple of questions for you humble1, did you downgrade to any official rom(Asian or European) after s-off and is your phone still simlocked?
It's easy to remove HTC Sense, could you make a rom that comes from SDK? Which is based on google and without twice development....

Someone is already doing that.. its called Cyanogen mod.... it being done right now by Alquez
Looks great! I'm scrapping my ROM and trying this. Looks like exactly what I was trying to do. Nice work.
@Tyrone1 did you lock the old market app or is this likely to update to the new market? I hate the new market app.
Also, I found this with my ROM as well. Something we removed was the HTC Quick Lookup, which is what the search button is mapped to at the home screen. I've tried Zeem and ADW and it doesn't work. I know the button is working because in applications with mapped search button (ie. Market, browser) it works fine. Also at the home screen a long press will activate Voice search just fine. I don't know if we need to replace the HTC apk or find a way to map google search to the search button.

I haven't tried a completely stock rom for Asia or Europe, but I can use custom roms for TMOUS without problems (1.62-based) and all 1.33 based roms give me problems with accelerometer (and maybe things I haven't found yet).
I'm S-Off and no simlock (I have an AT&T SIM that I use for testing, even though it's not activated).

If you know how to use the SDK distro and combine it with a working kernel, go for it. I don't, but if you (or someone else) tell me how, I'll do it. Actually I'd rather port alquez's CM7 because CM is better than HTC or stock Google distro.
never flashed any ROMS except my own ROMS also flashed some of goapk.com and xda.cn ROMS, it's where I learn a lot also XDA I visit everyday. My phone needs to rest including me. When I have energy including my phone I will flash this ROM including alquez CM7 and other rom made for wildfire s.
It works fine for my needs and I will wait until alquez's Cyanogenmod is ported and working for Tmobile USA users.
Anyone who wants to use or modify this ROM feel free to do so!! Thanks all who have helped wildfire S users... jinkataru, alquez, thehumble1, tera tike and all others... thanks
wow from 2 to 3 in a day. Nice.
Search button isn't working and when I try to change the Ringtone or Notification tone Settings.apk FCs.
I'm on 2.0 though. Didn't see change log to show that 3.0 had these fixed.

LOL i just arbitrarily assign those numbers.. i could've gone to 10.0 just to make it sound like the ROM is highly developed
u should be able to change ringtone and notification with the last version of the rom. However not sure about the search button.. i never really used it before and dont really plan to use it either...
OH yeah PS i came from HD2 hyperdroid prior to this phone too LOL
It's quite amazing how easy this is compared to using a phone that was built for Windows 6.5

Updated to 4.0!!!!! Enjoy!
I see that you are no good at laying off the rom development. Nice work. Now I just have to backup and install the new one.
Also, the search button still doesn't work from the home screen. To fix this put GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in the system/app directory, change permissions to match the other apps (rwx r-x r-x I think) and reboot.
the apk has to be the newer one. I messed with this for ages till I realized that I didn't have the right, working apk.

Magnolia X 1.0 Initial Release (4/26/2012)
I have paused development of this ROm while I work on my own tweaks app, a skin and CM style notification toggle. I will be back up in a week or so. Please feel fre to try the ROM, below, but just be aware it is pretty bare-bones right now. It is still very smooth, snappy and stable, however.
This is the initial release of my One X ROM. My focus is on stable, smooth and simple ROMs - the kind I use myself on a daily basis. If you like flashy, super tweaked ROMs, this may not be for you. This is just an initial base ROM that I will be building from, as I get more into the device and possibilities for modding. There is MUCH more to come, including CM-Style Notification Toggles (j4n87 beat me to quick settings...) and my full matte Rosie theme, which HTC seems to have partially taken for sense 4.0... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16944397&postcount=1)

Installation Instructions
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
It is best, but not absolutely necessary, to have the latest 1.28.707.10 firmware on your device. If you already have the latest firmware, ignore the following. If you don't, do this:
- re-lock your bootloader (reboot to fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" in terminal/command prompt),
- flash the 1.26.707.2 RUU (here),
- install the OTA update when you are prompted to,
- unlock bootloader at htcdev.com,
- flash CWM recovery (see this forum for the thread), and you are set to go...
Flash the boot.img linked to below by placing the "boot.img" in the same folder as your fastboot file, booting into fastboot and then typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (in OS X, you can place the boot.img in your home folder);
No need to wipe anything as flashing this ROM will wipe everything for you, including data --- I REPEAT, FLASHING THIS ROM WILL WIPE EVERYTHING, INCLUDING YOUR DATA!!! This will NOT happen in future versions (although I always suggest a full wipe before flashing);
Flash the ROM in CWM recovery;
Let things settle down, sync, etc.;
Enjoy, and post feedback, suggestions in the thread....

Oh, and I see no lag in scrolling, although I think we really need to flatten the 3D effect some. I know it's supposed to be better than 3.5, but I am getting seasick. I have integrated the 3.5 "ultrasmooth" mod into it (my test rom, not this release), but HTC changed the code where the "smooth" part of the mod goes, so it's not quite there. I am still trying to figure out how it all works in sense 4.0...

Yes, that is what I mean. Serial numbers that start with SH23. However, I especially mean those who have the 1.2x.707.x firmware, which, I understand, is quite a lot of people...
No screen flicker issues with light gray, but I have noticed it when you are using the still camera outside and move around...pictures still fine, but kind of annoying.

Is firmware the build number? My first HTC device haha....have had samsung for like my past 3 androids. All the Galaxy basically.
Im running ARHD and im guessing my build number/RUU is 1.28.401.9, is that firmware? I'll probably do a backup and try out your ROM later today.

Firmware is different. Generally an RUU or OTA update will have a separate package that installs firmware, which is basically what makes your hardware work (this is simplifying a great deal), while the ROM, through the kernel, is the software that works with the firmware/hardware. So, for instance, a firmware package might change your radio, while a ROM will not. I have run ROMs meant for the EU firmware on my phone just fine...I have the dreaded "No CID" version, so I can't switch firmware to the EU version.
Hope this helps.

Oh, and I see no lag in scrolling, although I think we really need to flatten the 3D effect some. I know it's supposed to be better than 3.5, but I am getting seasick. I have integrated the 3.5 "ultrasmooth" mod into it (my test rom, not this release), but HTC changed the code where the "smooth" part of the mod goes, so it's not quite there. I am still trying to figure out how it all works in sense 4.0...

I see that many of you are complaining that ICS ROMs aren't good enough and you mention some camera issues. I got my Desire Z two days ago from an android app competition and now have to root it and find a good ROM to flash. Rooting is much more complicated than on my previous device but there are a lot of guides.
My Question is should I choose a stable gingerbread (like Cynogen 7.1 ) or ICS (Andromadus Mimicry) could be used as a daily driver ?
I am concerned about camera, will it work good enough cause I use it pretty much.
Rooting isn't that complicated, it only took me an hour or so and the Desire Z is my first Android device. Just follow the guide in Wiki here and you'll be fine.
What's stopping you from trying both GB and ICS once you root the phone?
Anyway, Sense 4 ROMs have problems with non-working camera, on AOSP ROMs it works fine except for 720p video, though I think someone mentioned an ICS ROM which has 720p recording fixed, but I don't know which one was it. I don't use camera much so I can't really tell you much more about it.
I've been using Mimicry as a daily driver for a couple of weeks now and it works great for me. Before that, I spent a month or so on unofficial CM9 betas. You will probably get corrupted text every couple of days or so, but it's not a big deal, a simple app restart fixes it.
That said, I didn't even try any AOSP GB ROM, I wanted to see how ICS works and it turned out to be so good that I don't even have a need to try GB.
Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me result of Antutu benchmark app and how much free RAM do you usually have ?
On stock 2.3.3 Desire Z has a score of 2410 and just 100 MB of free RAM which I think isn't enough cause my older android phone has around 200 and is much cheaper than HTC even they have same amount of RAM.
Also on which cpu frequency works your phone ? I mean up to how much is stable to overclock without draining battery to fast.
Most ROMs for the Desire Z have them clocked on 1GHz or sometimes 1.2GHz. They are usually combined with a clever OC daemon, which underclocks it (to 350MHz or so) as soon as the screen's off.
And with a ROM like Mimicry by the way, you get around 180 MB of free RAM on average. Short after boot that can be 200MB, but that fills up quite quickly.
Having stock Sense on the phone is a serious drain; it's big, not really efficient anymore and simply old. ICS consumes less then any older Android.
try a few roms for yourself, this is the only way to know what you find best. for me I've tried six or seven sense roms and have been mostly disappointed with all of them, but others find them ok and even good. there are loads of great gingerbread builds for these phones, mostly cm7 based. of these I prefere elitemod and ilwt. the ics roms were not daily drivers up until a few months ago. the best of these I found have been elitemod and mimicry. of course I haven't used any of the others in some time but mimicry is a tweeked version of audacity so I'm sure that one is usable as well. the sense 4 roms I can't use yet, maybe someday ill try again, there are a few good miui builds but again for me these are only fun for a short time even though they are highly customizable they're just not for me
in the developer threads you will find a sticky a few threads down containing a list of most roms gingerbread and up for these phones, try a few and have fun!

Here are Antutu results at 1.4 and 1.8 GHz. Normally, I have it clocked at 1.4 GHz max / 384 MHz min with SmartassV2 governor. I wouldn't go to over 1.4 for day to day use, it heats up quite fast at higher clocks. But you will have to experiment yourself and see what works for you, I don't think there's much to be afraid of regarding overclock. If you set the clock too high, your phone will probably just freeze and nothing else bad will happen. Just MAKE SURE you don't set it to apply settings at boot before you're absolutely sure it's stable, otherwise you could end up in a bootloop and you'll have to restore from a backup in Recovery. And of course, as safe as overclock is, don't do it if you're unsure about anything, and don't blame me if something goes wrong, you do it at your own risk. One more thing, for me Mimicry freezes at over 1.6 while it works normally at those clocks with other ROMs I tried, it probably has voltages set lower than the others, but I don't really have a need to check into it, so be careful if you decide to try setting the clock that high.
I get around 200 MB free on boot. If your question was regarding free memory in normal use, read this and just don't worry about it: http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
Sorry if you already know these things, I have no way of telling how much you know, so I wanted to try and cover as much as I could regarding your questions.
edit: Btw, I agree with demkantor, just take some time and try a couple of ROMs, that's the only way you'll find what you like best.

@mirko935, just a quick tip, if you ever did overclock to high and forget and check the set on boot finding yourself stuck in a boot loop you can just flash the kernel on top of your current rom and it will reset the defaults, just an fyi
I say, have fun on Cyanogenmod 7.2 for a little bit. It's fast, stable, and super customizable. Then, in a couple months if you start to get bored, flash over to an ICS (or Jelly Bean!) ROM.
ICS is acceptable right now, but there are still issues. A little bit longer and the devs should have things running perfect.
Thanks all of you for info and tips, now I am going to root this thing
EDIT:Rooted succesfully
HELP ?
I just flashed Andromadus Mimicry and after choosing options in Aroma installer and flashing gapps i rebooted but after showing HTC logo there is the animation which repeats and phone doesn't boot into OS. Help please, I have deleted cache before flashing ROM.

If your Radio is .19 and you want to try ICS give the Rom in my sig a try (if your radio is not *.19 like in my sig then that could be the problem with the Andromadus rom as well... )
Edit:
Based on the To-Do list of the Andromadus thread : "Add EdKeys' RIL/lib matcher for .19 radio" which was struck out as done, I'm going to assume that you perhaps do not have the 'new' .19 radio flashed and as a result are unable to start that Rom, much like how EliteMod was giving me the same issue until I upgraded my radio.

Would show on the HBoot screen (i.e.: the screen with the 3 androids on the skateboard at the bottom).
If you've never updated yours, you're probably still on the old .26_M radio.
(Power + Down Volume should get you into the bootloader screen to get that info)
EDIT: If you do need to upgrade the radio, click on the radio link in my sig for the thread involving the update. If you've got an unlocked boot loader (i.e.: True S-OFF) you can actually upgrade the radio via the recovery using the zip file from that thread.

You using an ICS rom as well? Both the ones he mentioned and one I mentioned are made for the "new" radio. If you're not using the exact same rom (ICS specifically) then it's not really a relevant statement.
I can't speak for the Adromadus ROM, but The EliteMod one worked just fine with either EXT3 or EXT4 partitions (I later converted system/data/etc over to ext4)
(It's one of the many reasons why having your current phone/rom/etc in the signature is useful).

Without HBoot? I actually never tried it via the buttons, but via HBoot you would just volume down to 'recovery' then hit the power button, but I've always either 'rebooted into recovery' from the power menu, or I waited til my device was showing in ADB and typed adb reboot recovery in the console.
I've solved the problem First time I just deleted cache partition but didn't wipe data and that's where the problem was. If it was an AOSP ROM that wouldn't cause this mess but I had downgraded stock froyo before flashing andromadus.
Thank you once more for helping me to get the ICS godness to my phone

I wrote in my first post in this topic that I'm using Mimicry, but you're right, I will make a signature asap. Other than that, I used CM9 betas by jerl92 and Ice Cream Sensewich of ICS ROMs, and they all worked fine with that radio. I see that he only mentioned that he wiped cache, that's why I think it could be related to wiping.

I was using CM9 Beta13 before moving to EliteMod, and I was on the old Radio with CM9b13, I didn't need to upgrade to .19 until it came to EliteMod which seemed to be configured for the new radio, hence why I thought of that.
(If nothing else the process for upgrading the radio will certainly wipe most of that other stuff, but yes generally with a brand new rom you want to wipe everything including the system, data, sd-ext, cache, dalvik, etc).
So you have a bootloop? (The boot animation keeps repeating?)
I assume you are on Clockwork Mod Recovery or 4EXT Recovery? First you want to make sure you didn't get a bad ROM download, check the MD5 checksum of the file if you can. Then you want to wipe using the "superwipe+EXT4" zip that is floating around here. (Someone please link it!) Then try flashing it again.
Don't worry about the radio right now, you can update it after you get the rom to boot. Let me know if it works.
***EDIT***
This is for EU HD2 only. Users reported some connection errors on TMOUS phones.
I am aware of this, and yet I do not plan to make tmous version.
Please use some other rom for TMOUS hd2.
This ROM is based on xxxpachaxxx Gbleo R6.1 rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256581
with heavy customization, and minor speed improvements (i already was very fast)
It's Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1
Everything in description on GBLEO thread, applies to this rom, too.
Kernel Marc1706 0.2.2
Installer script customized to automatically install kernel depending on installed loader (magldr or clk). No user prompts.
Removed a lot of htc and other junk apps
Screen on/off animation
Added some useful 3rd party apps, updated all google apps
Rotatable rosie, and every other app that supported it
Customized quick settings, added 7 in 1 volume, flashlight and HTC Task Manager from sense 3 (by orkillakilla)
Customized boot and shutdown animation, black htc, and both have sound with it
Customized wallpaper backgrounds
customized ringtone, notification and alarm sounds
Keyboard slide animation added (help by Robocik)
Keyboard without arrows
Rotation animation enabled (excellent work by AAmikam)
Advanced Power Menu
No quicboot app, end key works fine, you only can't hang up, use red soft key for that (edit by me)
new calculator.apk (from sense 3) (resolution adjust by me)
tweaked some graphics in htc music player, and htc lock screen (by me)
new calculator.apk (from sense 3) (resolution adjust by me)
new wifirouter.apk (sense 3). Not tested, maybe it works, unlike older version
new, mms.apk, with bubbles, edited by me, (reference by seo)
various init.d and build.prop tweaks, collected from other roms
default.acdb from 2.3.7 android, eliminated roboric voice on call
new adiehw codec (louder headphones)
Bravia engine
customized gps.conf, for faster fixes
default speed 384-1075
governor lagfree
newest busybox
newest su binary and superuser apk
Deodexed, zipaligned.
---and maybe some other things i forgot to mention

Everything works, except usual: video camera is choppy (libs issue, and it may be fixed in near future),
and non working usb/wifi tethering (kernel issue).Also, random restarts are rarely possible, this is also kernel issue.
Battery lasts fair amount of time, even though rom is slightly overclocked by default.
EU version
Recommended partition 150/5
SD-EXT 1gb
swap ~128mb

To do:
Theme whole rom in blue
Make apps inverted (dark):
htc music
htc contacts
hts messages
htc dialer
htc mail
Enable rotation in some apps:
phone.apk
htcdialer.apk
These are tricky, because they already rotate, but only in Car Mode.
I will try to make them rotate always, car mode or not.
Fix rotate anim (services.jar)
This was done by aamikam, and everything works great, except Rosie.
Aamikam said he knows how to fix this, but he doesn't have time right now.
If or when he fix it, i will publish it here.
Fix Video Recording.
This is reportedly libs issue, and there is a rom that have this fixed. However, it's sense 3.5, and no one is trying to port it on Sense 2.1.
Wifi and USB Tethering.
This will be fixed hopefully with new kernels.
Any help with some of these stuff will be greatly appreciated!

I have eu hd2, so i made it like this.
You can make it easily:
in rom zip, copy everything from sd-ext to system, move sd-ext/app contents to system/app, then delete sd-ext.
delete system/etc/init.d/dtapp file
edit updater-script: find installing darktremor a2sd, delete whole part (between two ------------------- lines)
i think that's it.
If it boots and works ok, post link to it, and i will add it on first post.
first boot
what is the time for first boot??? i have waiting about 20 mins on htc black screen without anything happens.

Something went wrong - either you did something wrong, or i don't know. I use clk, never tried magldr.
Anyway, this is thoroughly tested - boots fine, within 2-3 minutes (first time).
Because of a2sd+ installation, it will restart twice, then continue to boot.
Do everything again, make sure you did everything right - task29, clk, partition 130/5, recovery, then install rom.
Please report what happened.
Meanwhile i'll try magldr installation.

I just tested magldr install.
That went fine, too (maybe even a little bit faster than clk).
So, i can confirm that installation works fine on both loaders.
Others please report about installation.
Change partitioning
Use partition of 150/5.
Magldr seems to be more stable with it.
Looks nice, will certainly try it today evening
Please give feedback

As i said before, this is the one and only rom i use everyday (i rarely flash new roms, and when i do, it's just of curiosity), so this is thoroughly tested, and on my end, everything works ok.

Back on recovery I select the "reboot/restart" option (1rst option on recovery main menu, can't remember exact words), then the phone shuts down and restarts. Splashscreen, Magloader screen shows up to the gogogo, HTC bootscreen appears and then nothing happens for as long as the battery lasts. No reboots, nothing else, tried 3 times from the beginning, all the process, and never booted.
Maybe there is something wrong with my layout or procedure, so if you can point out what's wrong I would be eager to try this Rom.

I do all that same things, in that order. I also have class2 16gb card. But my device is EU model, not TMOUS. I don't have problems. One difference, though i don't think it makes any difference - i use sd-ext partition 1gb. I really can't help you now, as i have no problem booting.
Surely, some changes need to be made for TMOUS model, but i don't know what.

Thanks again, the only reason I use 2gigs sd ext part is cause on original Rom dev asked for a 1.5gig part so I always try to have some extra space just in case, , ok, so I'll try downloading Rom again and see, maybe that's the difference.

First thing to try is you need bigger partition. Make 400 partition and try again. if there are still poroblems, try even bigger. 350mb isn't enough.
Please report

Well, i can't fix errors i can't reproduce, on hardware i don't have.
If you have TMOUS hd2, use some other rom.
I made this only for eu hd2 anyway.
If someone wants to convert my rom to tmous, please do it, post link, and i will gladly publish it on 1st post.
Untill then, please DO NOT post about errors you have if you installed this on TMOUS HD2.
Thank you for your answers ... It's too long to create a ext partition for EU version... Stay on the version of Arcat ROM. Thank you for your work. Sorry for my English.

What next:/ Opitimisation, ODEX, incorporation of CM Performance X.
This has been learning exercise for me, and I am currently working on a more complete reboot of the the original PrimoU version to see if I can squeeze more speed out of the phone, while keeping it stable.
Forgot to add that I recommend using this to help keep the phone snappy:

and this ODEXing tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390162 I ODEXed -all and noticed a significant improvement

Massive thanks to @Shaftamle @Lloir @Ticklefish @Curtis1973 @zsoltz @maxwen and also the wider XDA community for it tolerance of newbs
First, congratulation for your new ROM!
Second, UI changed closer to AOSP? So, some screenshot would be great.

well I find it 100% stable and with the added performance mod I have on average 100 MB free RAM. I am yet to experience and FCing, but if anyone has any problems please let me know. Like I said I am going to use this to find my way around roms, before starting on a newer version of Android.
Thanks for the screenshots @ihor2284, and Minto107 the closer to AOSP look comes from editing the images in .apk s in this version. I am currently working on changing a few of these back to CM or AOSP source packages, chosen mostly on size. The aim is to be functional and with a small footprint.
About the only thing you will find that tends to freeze up and force close is the stock browser..happens with many of our roms. ive been trying to decompile the rom and bookmarks sync adapter to allow moving to the data partition vs system and see if i can optimize it more but i keep getting decompile errors.

Hi Curtis,
what are you using to decopile, I'm running linux on everything and can't get my hands on an easy tool. Going to look into apktool and aapt and see if I can use them without any gui...
Any advice on this would be great, as so far I can only edit the .pngs, even the .9.pngs are beyond my short reach!
regards
im using apktool..in fact ive used about every tool around for windows with no luck.
edit: oh and the force close usually experienced with the browser is due to ram issues..bot anything else. the app works as it is supposed to..just uses more ram than our device can handle at times depending upon web site use. i think my decompile errors are largely due to my pc set up. to lazy to leave xp behind lol..

Hi Lloir,
no problems, sometimes its better if you learn the longer and harder way . I think I've pretty much finished with this version, but may ask for some tips if I move into building it or a 4.2 from source. Thanks again for the original, totally awesome.
Very nice! Well done!

Hi sorry to hear you at having difficulty with this. I've just tested what you said, not been able to repeat the issues on my phone. Could you take a log cat,(the app is on the phone already) Also it eouldnhelp to knownwhat other appsnyou may have been running, like turbo boost etc, and what spec your phone hboot drivers erc are at if you can provide. I do have another faster and lighter version which i will upload tomorrow.
This ROM looks really promising. Nice work!
However I can confirm that the camera and the torch (LED flashlight) do not work. Besides battery drains too fast I guess. It has been discharged completely during the night when doing nothing. No, I have no problems with the battery on other ROMs.
And sorry for not providing any logs either, I'm just not so experienced enough.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I've sorted all of this out, the ROM still needs a reboot after initial installation, but everything seems pretty gravy from there on in!

Battery usage looks fine now, sorry for my quick reaction. However the camera is still unstable. I was already surprised when took the first picture, but the camera stopped responding during the second shot. So I guess it still needs improvements. Thank you.

I see you used my installation guide. That's good you mustn't delete that. And question any other bugs than that 2. If yes that great. I'm looking for something stable and smooth so your port will be great for that?

Hi Min to,
Thanks for then installation guide, saved me writing out a much less coherent one. Only bus was the camera, with the new adreno drivers this has been smoothed out. I've also now cleaned up the contacts and phone.apk and added holohd2.1.2 for a smoother run. If you odex the romnusing the link in 1st post it is super smooth. But do let me know if you find any problems.
I'll get some more testing done on the camera as well, and should have the update out byntomorrow

Hi @kvestas,
the new update should improve the rom some more, your right about the camera, and I will be looking into that some more of the next week or so. Let me know if the new drivers etc are any help with it. Thanks again for the feedback.
