Q: Who all helped you in the process of you making the rom and getting it to it's current state?
A: First I'd like to thank the community for all the support I was given along the way. And I'd also like to thank the following people:

Code:
kevin, JAguirre1231, brainmaster, Koush., robocik, maxisma, lpy, Rang3r, mike1986., badams1, Revolution, sduvick, ayoteddy, SunPengfei, Jikantaru, darkky, Shadewalkerz, beray5, Google, HTC

Q: What are some of the current issues (things that need fixing) in the rom?
A: These are the issues that I've noticed while testing both rom versions and wrote down as my "notes":

Code:
[B]Major:[/B]
- Any app put in /data/app directory of the rom's .zip file will not install correctly b/c it'll "corrupt" itself on boot resulting in a "PARSE ERROR"
- Find out why start up scripts located in /system/etc/init.d/ are not running on boot or not setting the values like I want them to

[B]Minor:[/B] 
- Can not change camera icon to htc camera icon without causing camera app to fc
- Add widget > calendar icon to be like calendar icon for htc 
- Shutdown/Popup menu text color is white and not black
- See if changing number images to be like sense for phone's dialpad
- Noti. Bar icon switchers & contact icon
- USB connected android in background is behind the text and it looks bad
- Grey > Green lock pattern drag streak
- Blue > White font in settings menu
- App drawer home button in landscape mode is still presenting itself in portrait mode for the LP Version

Q: May we see some screen shots?
A: Off course you may....(Both Versions Have The Same LockScreen)

You all may not understand my notes but these are the things I'm planning on getting done before I release it:

- button boxes on certain pop out mens
- volume bar green is ugly
- blue font in settings
- led icon (red/green/yellow)
- phone icon
- app drawer (home button replacement dock)
- 4g icon in noti. bar
- grey lock pattern streak instead of green needs to be green
- default wallpaper to be live or sense rainbow
- notification bar (people icon) and setting switchers
- contacts icon
- web icon
- menu text to black instead of white on some pop out menus
- some apps need to be installed via data partition
- re-do phone icon
- maybe try to get sense dial pad
- volume up and down is blue for ring volume on home screen
- update su/busybox
- network icons in notibar
- transparent drop down notification box in background if possible
- black grey bar on drop down notification bar at bottom of screen
- get init.d scripts to run and set the values i'd like them too (see if its a kernel problem or rom problem or script problem)
- change some of the apps default settings to be how i'd like them to be on boot
- finish the majority of these things by christmas :D


it's 1am and i plan on being awake til 3am to work on some things b/c i want this as much as you all lol

Not that I can't finish the changes that need to be made but it seems that the family would like me to spend more time with them right now rather than with the constant time I've been spending with my phone working on this. I'm hoping to be able to finish this tonight or tomorrow when I won't need to "spend as much time with the family as possible".

MERRY XMAS ALL! :D

This is a small update on things. Most of these shouldn't take TOO long to fix but again as I said earlier i'm spending most of my time with the family today. (Most of the family is pre-occupied with toys and such at the moment).

EDIT 3:54 -6:00 GMT:

Major:
- Any app put in /data/app will not install correctly b/c it'll "corrupt" itself resulting in a "PARSE ERROR"
- Find out why start up scripts located in /system/etc/init.d/ are not running
- sense-like App drawer home button in landscape mode is still presenting itself in portrait mode

Minor:
- Phone icon in app drawer
- Can not change camera icon without causing camera app to fc
- Add widget > calendar icon
- Shutdown/Popup menu text color is white and not black
- See if changing number images to be like sense for phone's dialpad
- Noti. Bar icon switchers & contact icon
- Grey > Green lock pattern drag streak
- Blue > White font in settings menu
- Change put default lp wallpapers back in app
- volume up/down on home menu is still blue :(

(almost finished :D)

I might release the rom with a few of the minor errors on the list after I get rid of the major problems along with a few of the minor problems that annoy me a bit. This might be a good little "present" to give you all later tonight if I can do those things in time....hehehe

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday today :)

Well......the EXACT htc camera or a even if an attempt @ theming our camera.apk would not be possible bc the app would either fc or not install and the htc camera relies on its dependencies from the htc framework.

Now I'm currently trying differnet versions of miui camera and seeing if I can get one to install w/o parse error. I really like the miui camera just bc its picture quality is much better :)

Haha yup ad there's no telling when we'll get 2.3x for our SK4G :p

Edit: oh and I'm thinking about posting the test version of this rom tonight so that I may get some feedback and help from others on this rom.

    I'm releasing the v1.0 of this rom TONIGHT in about the next 3-4 hours (upload speeds are slow). I would really appreciate some feedback from users and/or other devs in this community. I know there are things that still need re-working/fixing and that's exactly why I need you all's feedback and help :)

    Look out for changes in the OP within the next 3-4 hours. Devs and themers I'll need your help with a few problems (init.d scripts & some xml edits and png files).

    All those who have contributed to the making of this rom will be given credit in the OP and I would like to thank them all because I couldn't have done it without them :D

    I hope you all like what I've gotten done so far and.....yeah that's about all I really wanted to say ;)

    EDIT: oh and i have 2 versions of this rom. Launcher Pro version & ADW version. But on the launcher pro version FOR MY PHONE whenever I install that version of the rom. Although I didn't add that app's unlocker it is already saying I have Launcher Pro Plus enabled. I don't know if that was due to a the minor xml edits i did to theme the apk or if the apps unlocker permantly unlocks Launcher pro for you. So if the laucher shows up as laucher pro plus and you HAVEN'T EVER purchased the unlocker please let me know so I can take down that version and figure out what edits I may have done to the apk file to have caused that. But I think that the unlocker probably just permanently unlocks the laucher though so I'm not worried :)

    anyways......be ready for the first release....there's a lot of work to be done still ;)
