21/Apr r15 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Nexus One - EFP30!

---

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Google Nexus One! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.

About MoDaCo Custom ROMs

MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.

Requirements

In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed. You can read more about how to install a CRI on your device in this topic.

Features

• Based on the EPF30 release
• Rooted with Superuser 2.1 by ChainsDD
• Built with the MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM

Wired tethering should work fine if you manually install from here.

This is based on the ERE27 ship update with a couple of tweaks, Cyanogen's Beta 4 is a complete ground up recompile.
