Root New Jager ROM released (1.6.2) Vanilla

I have been using it now for about 2 hours. I am very impressed. Is it very barebones and hardly includes any HTC stuff (minus the HTC unlock screen). If you are looking for the closest rom to Vanilla 2.1, then this is for you. Phone is very fast and not bloated at all. This is my favorite ROM so far.


Facebook sync is a part of Sense on the incredible. The stock Facebook app that you can download from the market does not sync your contacts.

So pretty much any ROM you download that removes sense will break Facebook sync.

You are correct. It does not include Facebook HTC sync. However, I was able to download an app in the market called Facebook sync. It allows you to sync your Google contacts and match them up to your Facebook contacts. It worked well but only downloads the photo right now. I also liked having my contacts linked to Facebook and this program does a decent job at doing that.

Does this build include the stock Android dialer or the HTC dialer? Thank you in advance.

This build includes the HTC dialer.

If you guys have any other questions, let me know!

This is 100% incorrect. The stock facebook app DOES in fact sync your contacts. After you install it, the first thing it does after you sign in is ask if you want to sync facebook with the contacts already on your phone. Mine did, and it did. This is just the standard Facebook for android app.

Does it have the Sense lock or calendar?

Actually, could you tell us what parts of Sense are still left? Obviously the dialer and notification bar as you've pointed out but what else?

What I've noticed:

Sense Lock Screen
HTC Message App
HTC browser
HTC People app
HTC Calendar
Call history, phone, etc..

Jager said he took out as much as he could while still leaving the phone stable and useable. I'd say about 80% of HTC/Sense stuff is gone. Overall the phone is much faster without all of it. Hope that answers your question.
