[ROM][11/20/10][G2/DZ] VillainROM Presents...Villision NO SENSE (v1.0))

---

Welcome to VillainROM

This bit’s the introduction. If you’re not interested in who we are, or how we got here, or are of the TL;DR mentality, then skip this entire section.

I’ve been raging recently. That’s right... raging. I’ve moved house, had NO internet connection (and still have no connection, until the 29th November), and T-Mobile then decided to block my access after 4pm for exceeding my fair usage allowance on my “unlimited” internet package. So yeah, the fact that we’ve even found time to work on and release these ROMs shows how dedicated we are to bringing VillainROM to the masses.

As many of you have noticed, I’m well and truly back in to the world of custom roms, after a few months break over the summer. Believe me, it was well and truly needed. It’s great to be back though.

If you’ve come from a HTC Hero/Desire or Magic, the chances are, you’ve heard of VillainROM. For that reason, I won’t go into who we are in too much detail. Sufficed to say, we’re a hardworking team of collaborative developers, working towards a common goal; to improve on manufacturer’s versions of the Android OS’ and to provide alternative, AOSP versions. We will no longer be providing 'experimental beta' releases, but instead, only releasing ROMs we deem to be 'final'.

So, enough of the "sales" pitch... let’s talk about the ROM!

Before I do, though, I’d just like to take this opportunity to offer a huge message of gratitude to the team at #g2root. Scotty2 and the team worked their arses off for weeks on this, and together they achieved what HTC attempted to make impossible. We all owe them a huge debt of thanks.

Well, we’re a bit later than we’d hoped on the G2 scene, so we thought we’d say hi with a bang. Well, three bangs actually. That’s three ROMs of course; we hope you like them.

The first of the three ROMs is Villision. The other two ROMs which are finished, but undergoing internal testing are coming over the next couple of days.


VILLISION 1.0.0



If you’re looking for speed, and as close to G2 stock/AOSP (without being an AOSP of course) as possible, then this is the ROM for you. Villision is our stripped down version of the G2 Stock Rom, De-odexed and with all T-Mobile branded crap removed.... with HomerSP's and my very own tweaks. We're personally using this as my daily driver, until we get around to ROM number 4, which will be a compiled AOSP build based loosely on CM6.1.

I would like to thank HomerSP of VillainROM for his assistance on this ROM, which is the first ROM we've every worked together on. He's been a legend to work with.


Villision 1.0.0 Features

- Based on OTA G2 Stock ROM
- Custom Power Menu (Reboot & Reboot to Recovery)
- ADW Launcher replaces stock
- Coolbho's 1.497Ghz OC kernel (thanks CM team) - We will be compiling our own range of kernels next week, so expect an update on this.
- Languages added (including GB English - that's right, colour > color)
- De-odexed
- PNG Optimized
- Zip-Aligned
- Dalvik heap tweaks
- WIFI Calling
- Custom wallpaper & bootanimation (Designed by Mikebeechm and animated by HomerSP)
- Removed T-Mobile applications (bloatware)

if it was a t-mobile specific app then yes.

What are the widgets, launcher, and theme used in OP's screenshot?

The widgets are some custom icons, not sure what but I am sure Nathan will tell us.

The launcher is launcher pro with custom icons for the dock.

Not sure what you mean by theme? the rom has no theme.
