I would like to have a ROM with the speed of an AOSP Rom with the taste of a SENSE Rom.
AND I MADE IT.
I removed all things that you'll never use and added some other thing like torch.
5000+ DOWNLOAD, 5000+ HAPPY USER
I Hope
Thanks

Known Bug:
- Never Ending Sync (solution at the bottom of this post).

What you need?
You MUST have:
- Root;
- Clockworkmod 3 or newer (you can try to use other recoveries, i don't know);
- EXT3/4 partition with at least 512mb;
- Stock MTD (workin' on Data++), so no CM7r2 etc.

You also have to Full Wipe + Dalvik Cache Wipe.

What you get:
- Official Sense Gingerbread 3.14.405.1
- Kernel 2.6.35.10-g308ba26 by snq-
- New Market
- A2SD+
- HD Recording
- Languages: English, Chinese, Arabic (not completed), Czech, German, Espanol, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Norwegian, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Swedish, Danish, Portuguese, Finnish, Vietnamese, Thai.
- Fastest ROM I ever tried.
- Javabox.

Download Link:

Philosophy:
I've modded this rom, in my opinion, in an intelligent way. For example, if you wanna use a ROM without using a market account, you can install nothing, 'cause you can't use the market and you don't have a file manager to browse SD. So, for example, i added a file manager. Meanwhile, why leaving youtube app if you, for example, don't have a data plan? I removed it, and you can easely get it from the market.
Or, why leaving a Calculator widget? No one i know ever used the calculator widget.

I left only what you're really going to use. It's fast, clean, powerful.

Been using this rom nearly 3 weeks now. Not a single problem with it, it goes like a dream. Occasionally get the urge to try a different one but cannot find one that is worth the place of this one and that's coming from someone who changes roms every couple of days it so. Well done for a first class rom.

Thanks man, this ROM is great. Not a single lag during 2 days uptime!
