This rom is only a beta. Use at your own risk. It's not gonna brick your phone or anything, but it may not be completely stable.

It includes:

Lives Wallpapers
Nexus Launcher 2
Nexus Flan photo gallery
Nexus bootscreen
Nexus/Eclair lockscreen
Wifi Tethering

Removes:

HTC Music/Stock/Weather/Twitter Widgets
Facebook
HTC Lockscreen
Twitter
PDF Viewer
Teeter
VVM

Note: To install this you must have the Amon recovery image installed. Place the .zip file in your sdcard root, reboot into recovery, flash dalvik and data, then flash the rom from the sdcard.

Note2: Sense is enabled by default. To use all the features, disable Sense and use Home. Warning: Most live wallpapers and the Flan gallery DO NOT WORK with the Nexus Launcher, so if you choose to use the Nexus Launcher over Home, don't use Live Wallpapers or Flan. Also, the Galaxy wallpaper doesn't work at all. Some of the live wallpapers will disappear after the phone locks as well.

Like I said, this is just a BETA TEST rom to give ya'll a taste of stuff to come. I won't be offering support for it, so don't use it unless you somewhat know what you're doing, and just want to play around with stuff.

Post back with any bugs you encounter other than what I mentioned.

Live wallpapers don't seem to slow the phone down TOO much, just gotta get the bugs worked out with them. I don't think it's gonna be possible to get interactive wallpapers working with Launcher2, so people will just have to choose which they'd rather have. :)

Main thing will be getting all the wallpapers to stay there after the phone locks. Outta be fixed soon, I'll be busy all weekend though, just wanted to post this before I left. I kinda rushed it, so hopefully all is well... if not, just reflash another rom. :)

BTW acid, I did get your PM, not just ignoring it, just been busy, I'll try to consolidate stuff next week. ;)

Will try and find sometime this weekend to shoot over to IRC or just drop off where I am at...

I'm ditching my current rom just to try out our Wifi tethering. Still can't get mine to work right! Grr. Hopefully we get the live wallpapers figured out soon!

Edit: Sadly the Wifi tether STILL doesn't work for me. I'm starting not get discouraged about it. It worked on the first cooked ROM, but nothing since. hah

Why isn't anyone talking about this rom? I want to hear more? How are things working?

Wallpapers still disappear when the phone goes to sleep... regardless if you have the screen set to never time out. Has the google log in bug whenever you reboot which I didn't have with the .02 Rom. Seems like a couple of the wallpapers, when selected, reboot your phone. I haven't tried Wifi tethering so no input on that.

Some people seem to NOT be having the issue with live wallpapers disappearing when the phone sleeps.

If you are one of those people, PLEASE PM ME! I need your help to figure out what the issue is!

Basically I'll need a dump of your system image, which you can get by doing a nandroid backup from the recovery image. Then in your /sdcard/nandroid/ folder you'll find system.img. I need that file.

TIA. :)

I will gladly do that. But i just saw that there is an update today so let me flash that on and then see if the problem is fixed... it might be the same one I received from jcase last night tho. Not sure

Yeah i notice. K give me a sec and I'll send the file
So you're NOT experiencing the LWP sleep bug where they disappear if you put the phone into sleep mode when it's not plugged in?

If so, great, send me that system.img from a nandroid backup. You can upload it to sendspace.com or something.

I'll look into the clock thing though.

To make wifi tether work I had to start with image 02 then move to 03 without clearing any data.

What is your logic saying it doesn't work?

Does su permissions not open up and ask you to allow?

Does it start all the way but not show up to ipods and computers?

What doesn't work is when I press the "Start Tethering" it runs, but when finishes it shows "completed with errors, check show logs for more info" When I click that it says that "Initizing Wifi Interface failed"

I'm getting the same thing. Also only the music live wallpaper will load. The grass resets the phone and the others give a black screen.

This is a great start! I noticed that the wireless tethering is the same version as the one I previously installed under_03 (1_7--pre2_htc) with no errors. They will not uninstall under this new build, as I was going to try the copy that I had from previously.

Keep up the good work! I know its a small part, but I absolutely love the lock screen!
