It's been a while coming, because Actngrezy has been working so hard to add new features (some of which he worked with Liquid on) -- and Actngrezy has also been working with Pete to help Pete learn to build from source.

But here it is, Project Elite v.3. [ROM RELEASE] P.E. v3 (Built from source 2.2.1 frg83) - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

I've been testing it for the last 2 days and it rocks, with lots of new features:

Notes - the user interface tweaks if you check battery percentage, it will overlay another percentage on top of the one there. this is because I used images with a percentage in them so if battery images are switch to any without percentage you can still enable a percentage.
- Still need to fix the save theme portion of the backup and restore theme in elite options"

That's how I do it I still don't understand why people download it off computer and then transfer it. It takes 5 min
Sometimes I download on the computer, and place it in dropbox (cloud service) in order to have it stored/sync'd to various locations (though this would also include my go-to kernels).

Either works, depending on what I'm doing.

I'm liking this ROM so far, coming from LFY, its similar in a lot of ways (Love the Elite Options like the Liquid Tweaks for LFY).

Quick things I'd like to note, maybe there's a workaround or something I'm not doing right:
- Android Onscreen Keyboard Dictionary: Dictionary doesn't auto-suggest other than from what looks like my contacts
- Wallpaper Gallery FC's: Go into Wallpaper Gallery and it shows two blank "Plus" wallpapers, click on one and FC. (This problem I've had on other ROMs as well, LFY and I think BB too)

Concerning the Wallpaper issue, I do believe those rom designers put their own custom wallpapers into the gallery section of the phone, not "wallapaper." Look there and you might find a folder called "Liquid's Wallpapers" or whatever.

I went from LFY and have tried both PE v1 & v2 and although I loved the stock feel of this ROM the auto suggest while I am typing messages or emails is a must have feature. Please (if it's not too hard) put it in this ROM and I'd love to give PE another whirl.
