Goals

Create a rom that will offer the following to end users.

Faster

Any body can build a rom faster than the stock one, but will it be more stable?

Looks slick

A phone that will have an interface your proud to show off to your family and friends.

Storage

Extra storage space in case you were not able to buy a sd card.

Easy to use

Comes with apps already install so people do not have to waste too much time downloading extra apps and etc.

Stable

A rom that you will not have to soft reset daily. Fixing common issues found with the original rom.

Fun

A rom with extra games so when your stuck some where and there is nothing to do, you can always play games.

Notice!

1. The biggy version is comming in about 30 min or so.

2. If you run into issues, please try not to double post.
If you don't hear back just PM me directly.

3. Please only post issues with this release in this thread.

Do not double post...! I'm very busy working different project but will figure out a fix if your having issues.

4. If you don't like my rom for some reason, please post it here only and state why you don't like about it.
This will provide feed back for me to use in future releases.

5. I'm not responsible for you bricking your device.

6. Do not call my rom a pretty rom...!

7. My roms do not include the rgu files so you will not be able to recook them. I will release a version with the rgu's included once v3.0 has been released.

Sorry folks,

Work is getting in the way, it's going to be about another 20+ mins for the raring and upload.

Uploading - Biggy with HTC Touch KeyBoard

Folks,

This version will be a little bit bigger than the one promised.
I went ahead and added the HTC Touch KeyBoard which took another 1.4MB or so.

I will upload another version today without the HTC Touch KeyBoard included.

Done, check the first post for the link.
