After the excessive prettiness that was Reincarnation, DK decided to go back to the drawing board...again. What more could he do that could be done on a Sense 1.0 rom while still keeping things fresh? How about incorporating some Jellybean elements into the Sense 1 framework for starters? Influenced by the minimalism of the Holo design. The idea of adding Holo progress bars, Jellybean notifications and using Jellybean animations were born. I've been flirting and falling in love with ICS/JellyBean so why not emulate the look and feel?!
The next idea was to trim the excess fat off the Rom. The easiest thing would be to strip away the Sense elements but that would be kind of senseless and boring. The solution was to tone down the Sense 4 look and use of transparencies in favor again of the Holo design. By going with mono, darker, and flatter textures, png sizes have been greatly reduced. Also combined with the use of other techniques, I have trimmed the system files by 100mb from the last version. The Rom sizes kept going up with each new release until V8 finally went over the 200mb mark. I wasn't going to let that trend continue on V9. Clocking in at a lean 165mb zip, its by far the lightest version I've ever made! Ram and performance is much more efficient now. 'Balance' has been the key theme throughout the making of V9
As much as I've been heaping praises on Jellybean, the final phase of development was to take another look at Sense and give some of its identity back. Inspired by the look of the latest Sense trends, the idea of turning the stock clock into a 3x2 widget and adding Sense 5 icons were introduced. I have traveled far and wide through the Sense landscape, from the HTC One to HTC Butterfly, even to the EVO LTE for inspiration. To mix all these visual elements together, while focusing more this time on the performance side of things has been the greatest task. It has definitely been an "enlightening" experience making V9.
The series has come full circle. Enjoy the journey.
Welcome to the ninth and final installment of DIGITALKARMA ROM!

V8 is now live! Friendly reminder do a FULL wipe: that includes data, cache, dalvik-cache. Turn off signature verification and you are good to go. ENJOY!! I highly recommend Smelkus Recovery much more simpler process. Just use Superwipe combo then flash the zip! EASY PEASY!
and for all my previous versions, you can get 'em right here
disclaimer: this rom and myself will not be held liable for any phone bricks, car accidents, inattentiveness of your surroundings or any hearing loss that may occur while using this rom. You flash at your own risk. BUT, there shouldn't be any problems
☯Wallpaper Options for V9☯
- Sense 5 Wallpaper Pack(flash in recovery. this will overwrite the HTC Wallpapers. thumbnail won't change)
- Original V9 Default Wallpapers(if you want to revert back if you get bored)
4g, wi-fi, bluetooth all work, camera should work
i'd say the only thing that FC's is dialing *2 to Sprint.. i deleted the SprintZone.apk
other than that it should be pretty reliable. and i will post screenies soon or i was thinking a Screencast video. but it looks pretty much stock-like.

I wouldn't mind helping a new ROM maker get his start.
Can I use extended quick settings with this?
Is there a lock screen ring where I can access 4 apps quickly?
i have none of those features yet but these will be added to my "things to work on" list for the future which means... i've got alot of work to do..
if you got a modded zip that can flash quick settings or sense 3.0 lockring on a stock Sense 1.0, 4.67 odex rom feel free to do so. but the goal is to keep this rom simple and stock sorta like a Sprint Lover's type rom.
perhaps when i add those features you mention in, it will be an entirely new rom.
alright i added a video of the ROM in action to the OP if anyone is on the fence or is just curious.. it's just a quick 4 min. run-down and yes i even screen recorded the bootanimation too.. just a quirky way of presenting things cuz i havent seen any people done that yet with ScreenRecorder...
Great ROM, good first start. Just a few things:
1. Download was slow as heck (use dev-host or goo-inside me etc.)
2. Doesn't make me a sandwich.
3. Keep voice search and live wallpapers.
4. Won't make EVO dual core S4 w/ 1GB of RAM
Other than those (major) issues, great work man. Been looking to go back to stock from deck's ICS, because I apparently, actually need a daily driver to get stuff done. Good work
EDIT: "Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.4
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted."
Uh-oh.
Gadgets:
EVO 4G LTE, V0003
Recovery - TWRP
ROM - Changes often
Motorola Xoom - MZ604
Recovery - CWM 4.0.0.4
Running Team EOS 2.0
Kernel - Tiamat OC GPU 3.0.5
*DEFUNCT*
EVO 4G -- Traded in for discount on LTE. RIP. <3 Always.
I may or may not be able to help you with any issues you have. Really.
