This is an evo/incredible hybrid rom. The goal is to make the best performing, most stable alternative until we get our official Froyo rom. A lot of folks have been testing this over the last week or so, and results have been positive!

Details:

De-odexed.
Zipaligned.
Pure Evo official OTA Framework.
Dinc drivers.
Mostly Evo official OTA apps, except those needed to make certain functions on the Dinc work correctly. Each app was handpicked in an effort to find what works best.
Dinc .32 kernel.
internal task killer tweaked.
32M virtual memory heap size.
MMS should be working, and is the stock Android app.
hulu works, check hulu_install folder for instructions (on your sd card).
wifi tether works with wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7 or 2.0.2 from the market.

No crapware!

The current rom is out of testing and now entering a beta phase.
This is installed with clockwork, and does not contain a radio or anything of the sort. Thats something you will need to sort prior.

A senseless version has been created by michaelnhf. All credit and thanks go to him for working hard to bring us a senseless version! This is based on beta 1.

Current bugs
-------------
Outgoing MMS is hit and miss (mostly miss). Temporary fix, credit to c0dej0ckey: Use APN Backup and restore from the market to restore the APN, found here. A couple of users have reported that clear data under messaging (settings, manage apps, running apps)after APN restore. Resolved in beta 2.

If MMS stops working, ask yourself:

"Did I install some stranger's framework hack to hide stuff, change icons, or colors?" If the answer is yes, thats what broke your MMS.


Thanks!
 
What I have tested that is working so far:

2. Camera
3. FM radio
4. Internal Storage
5. Bluetooth
6. Wifi -- noticeable fix, I used to only get 2 bars in my room, now I have full bars!

8. Wireless tether
9. HTC flashlight
10. Has TV out option -- you can set at Automatic, 1280x720 or 720x480.

Haven't had any fc's yet, everything works great, even gps. Google nav works, tried gps test and connected to 12 satellites within 15 or 20 seconds. So far so good. I'm actually noticing as i type this that typing in landscape in rhe browser is EXTREMELY laggy. May not be the rom, I normally swipe, just haven't installed it yet, so don't have much to compare it to, just thought is throw it out there. Will continue to provide feedback over the next few days.

Thank you adrynalyne for all the work you do for the community.
