Let's get on with it, shall we?

Well, it's been a long time coming, and in typical VillainROM fashion, we hope it's been worth the wait.

Many of you will know our work from the HTC Hero community; work which started just under a year ago and grew into a team of developers, themers and systems administrators working to produce THE most popular ROMs on the Hero.

Some of us recently attended the HTC press event in London, where we were asked by many, many disgruntled Desire users when we were going to release some ROMs for the device. The good news is, today is the day. For anyone that's been waiting for our ROMs, I apologise for the wait.

So... why the delay?

Yes, you guessed it... midgets. I'm not talking about the little sweets, either... I'm talking about the little fellas. It's nothing at all to do with the fact that I have been lazy, despite having dozens of angry Desire owners (including many of our team) hassling me day in, day out. No, it's not that at all; it's the midgets.
I won't pretend I don't feel guilty about it, though. I'm as guilty as Alan Carr is gay. And that's pretty guilty.

Many of our team own the HTC Desire, so expect to see several of our ROMs appearing on this forum in the future. It's an exciting time to be a Desire owner, with so many talented developers around working on it... not to mention the upcoming release of the Desire HD, and the HTC kernel sources.

So that you're kept in the loop, so to speak, this is one of a series of ROMs for the HTC Desire that will be released over the coming fortnight (ideally). In no particular order, the other ROMs that we'll be releasing in the near future are:


- FroydVillain 1.0.0 (A pure, AOSP build. Immensely fast, but currently quite buggy. This will be sorted prior to release)
- VillainROM HD (I'm working on a stripped down version of this ROM that installs without the need to store half the system folder on your SD EXT partition. This isn't too far away from release now).

Anyway, I've rambled enough. Many of you haven't read this far, and are already thinking 'TL : DR'. I have no doubt about this. I don't care though. That being said, I will 'get to the point' right about now.

Welcome to SuperVillain 1.0.0

The original 'Super' ROM was developed for the HTC Hero. It brings all the best features of Sense, without the chuggy launcher and widgets. So, what you get is all the Sense UI apps, such as the dialler, messaging, people, etc... but without the clutter. The ROM performs very well when compared with a Sense UI rom. The aim is to give a touch of Vanilla to those who simply love the other features that Sense UI offers.

This ROM is dedicated to MikeCoffee of TeamVillain, who still users the 5 month old SuperHero ROM on his HTC Hero.

I would just like to add, although we will try our best to help with any issues on XDA the way this forum works can often make it too hard to do so. Please report any bugs or issues over on the VR forums instead (in the relevant bug reporting section).

Thanks

Enjoy.

Thanks Lenny.

Oh, and this ROM is my daily, FYI

Pardon me for asking this "- Based on build 2.14.207.1 - but has been stripped of Rosie, all HTC widgets"

does it mean it contains HTC widgets.

No it has HTC apps, but no sense launcher or sense widgets (as they don't work without the launcher anyway)
