battery stuck 80 percent
The battery changes from 100% > 80% > 60% > 40% > 20% > 10% > 0%. It's not stuck.. just how android works.
Can you include ROM Manager in your ROM's so we dont have to redownload it?
Will do in version 0.2. :)
Update to 0.1.1 successful. I have one issue that's more of a preference. I'm not a fan of how the browser auto fits the page to the screen size. Settings within browser do not fix said issue. Other than that, an excellent update.

Edit: still can not update maps. It says incompatible update.
Maps isn't even installed anymore though? You have to install it yourself.
the rom manager download worked this time. thanx
No problem! :)

When we tested the ROM, we were able to install Google Maps just fine..
Anyone else seeing this issue?

If this issue continues, there are a few courses of action that I can take.

Google Maps got removed when I flashed the ROM, I was able to download it from the market but when I open it it'll say that it was unable to log-in but it still works.

Went into the settings under application and uninstalled what looked to be a corrupted google maps. After that, it installed fine. To log in hit the menu button and go to more. It will ask you to login.


These things will happen if you dont wipe data cache and dalvik cache before flashing. Please note in the ClockworkMod recov the option to clear dalvik cache is under ADVANCED

OP said 0.1 users don't have to wipe cache so I didn't. Might want to change that trident. Best ally rom hands down.

Thanks! :)

[Actually updated the OP to state that all users must wipe data and cache a bit earlier.]

Sorry for the bugs and slight confusion guys.. it's really, really hard to build a ROM for a phone that you don't actually have..

My responses are in bold:
-Froyo Even if I'm able to get a Froyo port booting, it will be very, very, very buggy.
-Fix 50% bug I did some research last night and I'm not even sure that this exists. Have any information on it?
-Black notification bar I like it. Might do a black, transparent notification window too.

Also I want to report a bug, I'm on 0.1.1 and after installing any app from the marked I get a launcher2 force close Did you wipe your data and cache before installing the ROM?
