G-Lite is a departure from other Virtuous ROMs in that it is effectively AOSP and designed to be lightweight, yet functional. If you find yourself discarding most of the features of Sense in favor of specific apps of your preference, this ROM is for you. Don't expect anything too fancy.

Features
  • Supported on the G2 and DesireZ only.

  • Minimalistic, lightweight ROM with +200MB of memory free at startup.

  • Extremely battery efficient (best of any G2/DZ ROM I have used to date).

  • Based on Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13.531.8, which is effectively AOSP.

  • All device hardware fully functional, including wifi, bluetooth, camera, camcorder, etc.

  • Kernel 2.6.35.10 Vision Gingerbread kernel. Do NOT use AOSP kernels with this ROM (i.e. Pershoot, Cyanogen).

  • Market-sourced applications (Gmail, Maps, Voice, etc) automatically installed on first boot into /data/app for easy removal.

  • Basic visual enhancements to notification bar, icons and pulldown menus to eliminate green indicators in favor of white.

  • Replaced stock Gingerbread launcher with LauncherPro.

  • Wifi calling and Swype conditionally installed for T-Mobile USA users. If your carrier licenses Swype for your DZ, let me know and I will adjust the installer.

  • Bloatware and unnecessary applications removed.

  • Additional notifications and ringtones added from Sense.

  • Massive APNS list.

  • Rooted, deodexed and zipaligned (should be assumed with all ROMs but people ask so I mention it anyway).

85MB? Wow. That is aerodynamic! Even though I have a nagging feeling I'm rolling with the Fusion for awhile, I must give this a spin. Respect, rmk.

Downloading now. You make some badass ROMs and other things so I have no doubt I will be impressed by this.

Keep up the awesome work.

No offense lol, I can see why some Modders get mad.

Unless you were just joking ;)

No overclocking or trackpad wake YET, since we do not have Vision GB kernel source from HTC. Please do not ask about it as implementing these features is on my to do list when it becomes possible.

From the original first post if you read it.

I don't see why it wouldn't. If it does not, let me know and try to provide a logcat.

Nope it doesn't work how do I do logcat I'm sry I haven't done that I think its a netflix issue a lot of ppl can't get it to work on their rooted phone with gingerbread.

Side note was hoping this would have stuck with the 2g/3g/4g that was like that in stock rom no big deal but hey rmk nice work great stuff man like ur roms alot

Thanks rmk! Been finding myself wanting something lighter and lighter. Been running virtuous 1.0.2 for awhile, then been runnin' your gb sense rom currently. Liked fusion a lot but waiting for it to be ironed out, not to mention how huge it is.

    New version, v1.0.3, is now available.

    Enjoy!

    Trust me I'm listening to you guys. Next version will have a feature which will install the launcher of your choice based on creating a file on your sdcard (so that the launcher preference is preserved between re-flashes/upgrades).

    Download link is up -- enjoy!
