[ROM]Touch_of_Photons (BETA) v1

First and foremost I take no credit for anything contained in this ROM. I have taken bits and pieces from various ROMs I like and rolled my own.

The base is Binny's stock ROM.
LauncherPro from unrevolved by ozzeh
Has Both HTC and Android Music apps (in case someone, like me, prefers the old one)
Rosie and All Rosie widgets removed
WiFi Tether
TouchFlo port from Samsung included (choose launcher for yourself)

Again, all credit to the Devs listed above. I am no Dev myself, only a chef cooking up something to my own liking and thought I would share.

Anybody wanna test for me?

Download here

Installation...
Copy TouchOfPhotons-v1.zip to your SDCARD and reboot into Clockwork recovery. Then Install Zip and Choose Zip from SDCARD.
Be sure to take a Nandroid Backup and WIPE FIRST!

So far everything seems to be working fine for me...WiFi, BT, etc...
I would recommend Hydra's Undervolt with Wireless-N kernel here. This just needs to be installed like any other zip using Clockwork recovery.

Also I would recommend the MultiTouch Keyboard DANESHM90 managed to pull from the Droid-X here. This can be installed with Astro or an equivalent of your choice.

Thanks to all in the community. I am glad to be a part of it!


UPDATE.... Kernel link above may not work consistently so I am attaching the zip.

For those requesting it, I am attaching the TouchFlo Launcher. Just install via Astro or similar.

UPDATE - 7/7 --- Thanks to bowtiedeuce for pointing out the fix scuccia found for the Facebook constantly syncing issue. I am attaching that patch here (full credit to him, of course). Just install it like any other zip from your sdcard using clockworkmod recovery (install over your current setup, no wipe) and it should resolve the sync issue. Future releases will not have this bug.

No screenshots? It seems like most of the android roms have no screen shots.

Yeah,
Sorry about that. Was headed out the door and wanted to get something up for you guys before I left.

Anywhoo, here are some screenies. You can see I'm using TouchFlo primarily.

Oh, and the MT keyboard I provided a link to...

BTW....
The Live Wallpapers work great with the TouchFlo launcher.

each time i download this file ROM and i try to install it, i get an error when it is trying to write to BOOT that says E: No Room Left on Device, failure at Line 394. Has anyone else seen this and if so, have they figured out how to fix it? I have wiped the boot partition and completely formated my whole system. Still the same error, i also redownloaded the file 3 times and still the same issue.

That's the first I'm hearing of this. Can anyone else confirm?

I'm loving this ROM! Just got everything set up on it...

Couple things though... I'm having a hard time pushing a custom bootanimation.zip to /data/local

I had no problem doing it on a just a plain rooted Inc, but I can't with this...

Another would be requesting to get the 2.1 lock screen and not the HTC one... Thanks! Awesome work, keep it up!

I just pushed the bootanimation.zip from the DroidX to /data/local/ and it worked fine. What animation are you trying to push?

That's strange. I'm getting an error trying to use that kernel link on my PC but if I click it on my phone (using the XDA app) it downloads. I'll try to get a mirror up.

EDIT - Actually just attached the kernel to the OP.

Im had the same issue as ejlax did. However after the reboot everything seems to be there. Is there anything that didnt install after that error?

IF anything, I would says possibly the kernel (based on the error he says he got), but I would recommend you use the kernel attached in the OP anyway, so....

Really I don't know why you two are getting those errors and not the others who are testing, though. You are wiping before you install, right? Always the best practice: Nandroid Backup + Wipe.
