This is a pure, working AOSP build which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

* Can be used with or without Google applications
* Kernel 2.6.34 with Pershoot's tweaks
* ADWLauncher is the default launcher!
* Complete music app overhaul by Eliot Stocker
* Clean shutdown/startup system
* New Apps2SD method implemented mostly by Chris Soyars. Create an ext4 partition and enable it in settings->applications (wiki page coming soon)
* Built in USB & Bluetooth tethering
* Graphical enhancements, trippy bootanimation, #boobs, and excellent wallpapers by Prash
* ARM NEON optimizations from 0xdroid and Qualcomm
* Includes BusyBox, htop, nano, powertop, openvpn, bash, and all engineering commandline utilities
* FLAC audio support from Kenny Root
* Phone enhancements from Cytown
* Contacts enhancements from Wysie
* MMS enhancements from, well, everyone (see changelog)
* Perform zipalign-on-install of applications
* DeskClock tweaks- longer autosilence and "require unlock" option
* Massive APN list
* Huge collection of ringtones and audio
* Customizable Nexus live wallpaper by Chris Soyars and me
* All available locales are included thanks to PsychoBoy
* 360-degree auto-orientation by Optedoblivion and Elanthis (enable in settings)
* Full color trackball notifications (from Google)
* OpenVPN integration thanks to James Bottomley
* Many other bugfixes and tweaks from AOSP contributors
* Tons of work on the build system by Koush and Chris Soyars
* See the full CHANGELOG for all credits and details

Thank you to EVERYONE involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging and documenting! Enjoy!

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol Just playing. Had to submit real quick to hold it. haha.

Awesome job as usual Cy.

Edit: Just to remind everyone, since I didn't see it in the post, you may not want to wipe prior to flashing. . . or at least be sure to acquire the Passion Google Apps pack. ;-)

Trying it out now. Its good to see you cooking in the Nexus kitchen.

Remember you'll need to find google apps for this rom to work properly with the google apps stuff. :]

Instructions:

First timers: Wipe + Flash CM 5.0 + Flash Google apps zip

luckily, You can find google apps on the internet (not sure who uploaded this but I find it works with cm5.0): http://www.mediafire.com/?25jmynjjnmz

It shouldn't matter if I have a holiday phone right? Should load the same. Also good job on the rom.

It is awesome an absolute must this thing flysssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.....

I am going to try it now .... hopefully my donation buys a six pack or at least more than a beer

Been messing with it for a bit now. Great so far.

Duplicate Thread?

I see the difference, This one includes upgrade instructions and new user instructions.
