Special Notes

Flashing the boot.img using the automatic method will change your mainver to the latest release from VZW. If you don't know what this means then you need to ask before flashing!

To Use WiFi Tether you must first turn on MSS Clamping and Routing Fix in settings of the app. You cannot connected devices that will not use an ad-hoc connection. If its that important maybe its time to pay for hotspot.

Prerequisites:

Must Be HTCDev Unlocked
Must have a custom recovery installed

Instructions to flash:

Place ROM on SD Card
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data / Factory Reset
Install ROM. When ROM is finished it will reboot to hboot to auto install kernel. WHen you get to hboot press power to install.
Its not recommended that you restore back ups from prior ROMS! Do fresh install!

Thanks for your hard work on ROM development. I suspect now that we are unlocked things will pick up steam rather quickly!

I love sense and basic basic ROMs so this looks like the one for me. Your instructions mention the recommendation of not backing up from prior ROMs (which I get) however; if I am coming off of a stock (albeit unlocked/rooted) ROM, I'd rather just run TiBU and use that after I install your CleanROM. Do you think I'd have any problems if I did that or would I be OK? This would be the 3rd or 4th time I will have had to set my phone up from scratch; I'd REALLY rather use TiBU if you know what I mean!!!

Thanks again for your ROM work and appreciate your thoughts when you can.

Scrosler: Ditto what turbomentor said. I have used your products the last few days and really appreciate your work. If things weren't so "tight" because of the holidays, I would show my appreciation in a tangible way. For now, thanks very much for what you do.

Similar question...When I installed Cleanrom1.1, I did a wipe before I installed. Do I need to wipe again going from 1.1 to 1.2? Starting from square one is getting...tedious.

Well, as long as you dont go too crazy and back up the entire system and try to restore it (yes people do that) you will probably be OK. If you see rand issues then you know your TIB is not going to work. The only advice I can give is this....

Try to restore your data... If you have problems then do a full wipe, clean install and re-set up all apps.

If your coming from 1.1 to 1.2 you can wipe cache and dalvik. But...... Becuase the way the ROM provisions on first boot after fresh flash you will keep the VZW tab in the launcher. And you will still have quick boot. If thats not an issue to you then dirty flash it. If you want that damn VZW tab gone then full wipe is required. I cant figure out how to force provision the ROM other than a complete wipe

Thanks Scott. I ended up doing a full wipe/reset yesterday and then flashed 1.2. Works great I think my favorite new feature is the 4 in 1 Restart menu.

My wifi tether is not working but it must be something in my settings because Open Garden tether from the Market doesn't work either, and that one worked after I unlocked and rooted.

Thanks for everything.

With the WiFi tether that I included in the ROM you need to set MSS Clamping and then Set Routing Fix.

After you do that it shoudl be good to go. I tested it that way and it was fine for me. But I also pay for hotspot so....

 

[novakrj]

That did it....thank you.

Good stuff! Dont froget to hit thanks when someone helps you!

Love the ROM..

Scrosler, just found a problem that I need some help with.. When I go to send a txt message, I usually just type like the first couple of letters of someones name, and the phone will give the examples... like for example Crystal, I would type cry and the name would pop up with a number. For some reason on this rom, that isn't happening.. Any help?

Yep, your right. I will have to take a look at that.

 

[scrosler]

I found the bug. Its not really a bug but by design... What happens is to speed up the databases the auto complete function is disabled. It adds drastic perforamnce gains but you loose that feature. I can make a pack to revert the db libraries tonight but that will be an optional function to flash.

 

[jeff0r3]

Cool... A must have for me!! Awesome to have a Dev so quick to fix a bug!! It's like the OG days for me again!!!

 

[scrosler]

I updated the OP to reflect the following:



Special Notes

1. New-> Auto Name Suggestion Note:
   

   Auto name suggestion for text and email is disabled for performance. If you need this enabled download the attachment to this post. This will bring back auto name suggestion but you will see modest performance hit. Still should get 3K in quads, not much further though.

   
   
2. New-> You need to flash the "Social Network Frameowrk.zip" file on the root of SD Card after you flash the ROM. The social network framework was removed because I dont use it. You flash the zip just like you flash a ROM. It will automagicallly appear after you flash the ROM.
   
   
3. Post #3 will be list of all user contributions and add-ons for the ROM. If you want to share your work post it in the thread and I will add to this list

Going forward I will have that file on the SD card or contemplate putting it back to stock and putting the tweaked version on the SD Card.

With the stock libs I was still hitting about 3K even in Quads....

You guys be the judges... Pure power or Auto Name Suggestion?

Pure power

Pure power

Hehehe... ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jeff0r3]

Wow... I wouldnt have thought it would slow it down that much.. thanks for taking the time to fix that!

Yeah, the whole OS is database driven so depending on your database libraries you can really affect perforamnce. And the changes in this library to remove the auto name suggestion makes it HAUL ASS.

But with the other tweaks I got in here... Even going back to stock libs its still damn fast for a stock kernel and faster than any other version I have made.
