NEW! [July 26] [Sense 3.5] Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5 / Smooth / Themed

Welcome to the RCMix Energized edition ROM thread !

This development thread is for the official RCMix blue, energized custom firmware series for the HTC Desire Z !

I build my ROMs with four main goals.

Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
Speed !!!
Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
Stability through private beta testing before public release

I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.

FAQ Coming Soon!

You gotta have a DZ Hboot in order to be able to run Sense 3.X ROMs...here you go for a good guide to migrate to DZ Hboot, just disregard adb commands if you can boot-up recovery manually (hold "volume down + power" and then choose "recovery" from the bootloader options) and copy the file to sdcard through usb-toggle or place the file to sdcard through cardreader and then insert sdcard into the phone and boot-up bootloader.
