Hey guys I have had several requests to make a KWIQ rom using Decks 1.3d as a base. This is not going to happen, it's DECKS 1.3D!! No way would I EVER try to put my name or brand to undeniably the greatest GB AOSP rom ever to grace our EVO's.
Here is what I would like to do, but only with the backing of the "DeckHead" community, and the man Deck himself, (PM sent). I'd like some input from you dyed in the wool Deck fans. Rope, carhauler, lawson, this means you!

First off it would be clearly posted as Deck's 1.3d, possibly as "updated, resurrected, reloaded" or to that effect. Second PROPER credits with links back to Original thread, and in turn for all mods and tweaks. Third, keep rom 100% true to original except as specified below.
1) Apply all fixes found in Deck's OP- GPS, vvm, wake-lock, etc
2) Apply the Car-a-Dope tweaks verbatim at the ram-disk level where at all possible, to stay true to concept.
3) Lee kernel built in
4) Remove languages (keep Spanish, english) from system and framework files
5) Optimize all PNG's in system and framework
6) Odex framework and system/app

Guys I have no delusions of grandeur, I consider myself to be a modder, maybe a developer in training at best. I'm not on here posting anything trying to become rich, boost my ego, or win a popularity contest. I will never have a "donate" button, I refer all requests (only 5 so far) for my Paypal info to Deck, Preludedrew, Cyanogen or Charity of choice. I honestly am in this for the fun of it and to learn and share what I can, nothing more.
That having been said, what do you guys think?

There are also other fixes I would want a hand in making sure you have added to this rom. I would also like it to be called Reloaded Deck. If I can have my way on this then I'm all for it.

There needs to be an easy uninstall for xloud/beats for those who don't want it. This could potentially be really good.

Love the name! To be honest I wouldn't think of doing this without your & Car's blessings and support.

Those mods are sick, Totally agree about it being an option. How about this, "Reloaded Deck" true to original, and have a flashable zip for add on mods and such?
Also, I'm not sure how often Deck checks his XDA pm's so if this thread has some good responses of support for the idea, I was going to hit him up with a link to it on twitter.

I would be all for this, Ive been running decks for a very long time now, started out with mikg...But came across decks and decided from reading that entire thread *cringes* that it was the best aosp rom out there. And I cant leave this rom! Ive tried lol I always come back.

So if all you guys are behind this, I'll flash it when its finished and run with it, you guys got my support!

I'd also like to suggest touching base with atyoung about specific EVO tweaks. He made a vague yet interesting comment in the Deck 1.3 thread saying eventually he'll chat with Papa Smurf about more customized and beneficial tweaks for the EVO.

I'm sure if Rope, Car, atyoung, and crew are involved, even if only minimal, then this could easily become the best (reloaded) AOSP rom.

Let us know what Deck says. Good luck.

The mason kernel really is better than the LEE kernel in every way now. As you know i have been a huge proponent of the LEE and was the one who named it because it was by far the best gb kernel...until now. I've been majorly impressed with Mason kernel and had been running it for two weeks now. Iv won't user anything else with gb any more. Lee was great but the Mason kernel really is the new LEE.
I really would like to see it be the default kernel in this project. where else can you have so many governors and schedulers in such a fast, stable and smooth running kernel? You can't and .15 is right around the corner.This one makes the tiamat AND the savagedzen fanboys proud.

"Don't complain if it eats your soul or does horrible things, as it's a tester, not meant for mass adoption, hell it might not even boot at all."

Ha, such is the life of the ROM flasher. But at least we have NANDROID backups!

    I'm glad that you all are registering on tincandroid....really glad to see you guys there!!

    I also agree with jamie, the speeds are awesome on this ROM and will only get better as we dig in and start adding more tweaks and remove crap that slows a ROM down :D:D

    Speaking of tweaks, I wanted to show you one of many tweaks that will be added on....

    I'm gonna drop the preview over in dev in just a couple hours. ReLoaded will follow shortly, in same thread, please no ETA's. Trust me no one is more excited than me to have this drop. I figured it up, I probably have close to 180 hours into this project, really hoping that all that time pays off.
    A big huge thanks to Rope without whom this project would only be a shadow of what it has become. Also to Mazda who dropped other projects to make some killer mods for ReLoaded, and Smelkus who implemented a key feature that had me banging my head against walls. Even if I did break it and have to start over.... lol
    You guys enjoying this preview do me a solid, go smash all them guys thanks buttons a couple few times.
    See ya all over in dev!
