Why spend the time removing the crapware and applying fixes when its already done for you.



This is nothing special. It doesn’t have a fancy name like SkyFroyo, Refrozen, or whatever. The build.prop doesn’t say by “insert name”.
This is just a rom I use for myself that I thought others may, or may not, enjoy.

There is not a question as to whether you should wipe before installing, just dooooooo it.

OTA leak must be installed prior to this rom if you want working camera and camcorder.


Changes from stock leaked Froyo:

Market fixed!
Gmail fixed!
streaming audio quality fixed!


Added default Droid ringtones and notification.
zipaligned.
Stock messaging app from Cyanogenmod. All credit to Cyanogen and team.
Removed stocks apk, and widget.
Removed footprints.
Removed lame Verizon drivers prompt when connected via USB.
Removed visual voice mail and all icons associated with it (including voicemail icon in app drawer).
Removed backup assistant (do not try to setup from setup wizard!).
Removed 3g hotspot (Included working wifi tether app).
Removed skype.
Removed my Verizon app.
Removed city ID properly.
Wake on trackball added.
Tweaked internal app killer/memory manager.
Removed amazon mp3.
Busybox installed.
Superuser 2.2.2 installed.


Issues:
-------
Calendar isn't syncing for some lame reason.----Fixed.

The one thing I HAVE noticed so far is the boot is at least twice as fast as it used to be. That's awesome but I no longer have enough time for my Doctor Who Intro boot :p Though I do need to modify this new stock boot animation if I want to keep it. That eye really needs to loop.

Did a boot wipe, reinstalled (the one you posted), testing...

769. *headdesk*

I did a factory reset and reinstalled again and this time got 798. I'm going to leave it for right now and see how terrible battery life is tonight. If it's as bad as I expect Sense is going to make it I'm switching back to cm6 test8. If the battery life is alright I'll stay here for now for the better camera and working camcorder.

The streaming audio fix seems to be the culprit in the decreased Quadrant Benchmark. I ran the unmodded/tweaked 2.2 ROM and scored 1200ish. Then I applied the streaming audio fix to the leaked ROM (not adynalyne's) and the score now sits at around 800. Everyone who's applied the audio fix independent of any flashing has seen this decrease.

Just to be sure, I reverted the build.prop back to stock and the benchmark jumped back to 1200's

I just added the Espresso Bar to my otherwise stock Froyo ROM and now my picture and video galleries force close when activated. Does that Bar only work with your modified Froyo, or is there a step I missed? I just applied the .zip from recovery.

I am having the same issue: Leaked Stock Froyo, Radio Updated, Market Fix applied

It says process com.htc.album has stopped unexpectedly. Can confirm this was not like this before adding this.
