If you are looking for 3.2, go to the current thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983227

The other thread has been used since 1.0 first came out and is quite long now, so I am starting a new one.

VaelPak is a Sense based Non-Sense ROM with lots of tweaks and goodies.

Excellent Sir!

Installing on HW004 now.

2 minutes 47 seconds from reboot to initial setup... Looks good to go for those who came from hboot2.02 & HW004

Had to sync contacts manually, but that is certainly no big deal... and I like that the new setup asks you to turn on wifi before it downloads anything. I guess I don't like the new adw.launcher with the customizable center widget... that sucks when you have to create a new "open launcher widget" and drag that over your accidentally customized center-widget-that-used-to-be a-launcher/trashcan.

***I prefer the HTC people/dialer/messaging over AOSP, but i can't seem to find the messaging app anymore... Is it missing? Any chance they could be side-by-side again (or available in vp settings)? ***

Also, which version of swype is the new stock one?

[edit: I just noticed the "(will be) available via Vaelpak Settings" note had the extra set of parenthesis... I guess Vaelpak settings hasn't got the upgrade yet...

VaelPak settings is messed up for me

i wiped data, cache, and davlic several times
then flashed the ROM and it worked (works) great...

after i got it all set up i thought i would change to high res

so i--

-open VaelPak settings
-granted SU permissions
-selected Amon recovery -which i use
-hit screen resolution
-selected HighRes
-clicked reboot now when it asked
-after reboot -no change
-opened vaelpak settings -and it rebooted without warning
-after reboot still no change so cleared vaelpak settings --cache
-opened it back up and apparently it didn't clear the cache because it rebooted by itself again
-after reboot still not highRes so..
-uninstalled vealpak settings then reinstalled the market version and same thing
-it did re ask the SU and Recovery questions but same thing is happening..

Vael,

Great work, love your stuff, I wanted to know if you've tried any other kernel's yet or if you might recommend one that you think will mesh well with your latest update. Thanks for your work

Looks cool and I'm downloading now. One question: what's the easiest way to get rid of the blue "Vaelpak" and "Notifications" text on the pull down shade? It's the one thing that kinda looks out of place with that font and I'm an a-hole when it comes to that stuff. Is it just a matter of flashing a theme over it?

I'm having trouble restoring apps and system data from Titanium.

I

-open problems?
-yes, do it in response to auto-upgrade for busybox
-reboot
-open Titanium
-backup/restore
-menu
-batch
-restore missing apps + system data

Titanium then starts it's process like normal until it just closes the program and jumps to the Vaelpak bootscreen.

Thoughts, feelings?

I read somewhere that the new OTA causes problems for Titanium... I haven't loaded up this new ROM yet but I will soon and I'll report back about Titanium..

    Thoughts, feelings?

    Having same issue, traced it back to apps I moved to the SD. But I also get reboots if I try to reinstall directly from the Market. Sent Logcats to Jim for review.

    system config is different after newest update. You are actually the first dev to release a non stock rom based off new 3.70 ota so kudos to you for it. I know I'm not as experienced as you and only trying to be helpful based off of what I see without stepping on anyone's toes... I would suggest maybe basing your build entirely off of a stock 3.70 at this point as the structure seems much different when I look at 3.29 vs. 3.70... I would make an educated guess that existing 3.29 framework is somehow making slight conflicts with 3.70...

    I have one idea brewing, but I think you may have nailed it right there. I have been able to not re-base in quite a while, but I may have to give in this time. I'm a bit bummed at how this is turning out so far... Sacrificed the entire weekend on getting 3.0 out the door...

    Any and all attempts to help are always welcome man, toes are safe :)

    Do you guys think I can just flash the unrevoked forever, then go into hboot with the pc36img.zip from sprint lovers 2 with the radio and wimax updates built in, then go and update everything in the settings then wipe and flash?

    I've tried just about everything else. I was in the middle of trying the sprint lovers idea when I read your posts.

    You can try it, but those radios you are flashing from sprint lovers are not unique to your phone and 4g always runs a small risk of getting bad keys that way. I would RUU personally instead. I prefer to minimize risk as much as possible.
