This project have two things in mind: Speed and Storage Space.


  • First part(Speed):

    It will be the lightest ROM you can find. It´s optimized for speed and storage space so you can use it to make your own personalized ROM. Just have the essencial SO apps and some basic 3rd ones.

    You can say it´s like an Windows XP after instalation, it´s clean for you.


  • Second part(Storage Space):

    Because this ROM have only the essencial things in it, you have an huge storage space to install whatever you want.

    And because there are no old versions build in the ROM, no files will be replaced so no duplicated space is wasted. Incompabilities and errors caused by instalations over older versions are gone with NIKI Lite ROM.

    I will make an list with the most used apps, so you can download and install them as you wish.


With 3D Hardware Acceleration. Install this .cab on the 3D ROM: HtcClassAction Driver/Tools .cab

ROM based one the latest NIKI´s official, SYS 5.2.19965, XIP 19965.1.2.3.

I recomend using the RADIO 1.65.29.22 with this ROM: RUU Nike Radio 1.65.29.22


Newer 3D Hardware Accelerated ROM with the display driver of the Cruise(DDI.dll). Optimized for 3D use.

Newer 2D ROM, not hardware accelerated, but it´s the best we can get now for 2D. Optimized for 2D use.

damn n1 im definitive going to test this out:eek:

Please give your feedback later... there is always some improvements that need to be made, using the users opinion.

Seet zombie jesus!!!!! GREAT ROM!

Hehe, thanks twolf! ;)

Sry about the RAM, I know you like lots of free RAM, but this newer ROMs need bigger pagepools. This one uses a PP of 27MB.

But is using the same amount as the NIKI Lite V1, around 20MB for the OS, services and devices, wich is the lower possible on these ROMs.

BTW, why did you called it Niki lite project v2?

Does it have any relation with the i486 post?
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=415027

Yep, it´s me... only changed my nick, didn´t liked that one :D ...

The V1 didn´t worked as spected, to much problems on the XIP and OEM .rgus... thats why I didn´t released it.

Now I´ve learned a few more things, so I´ve started from scratch, using only the HTC official 6.1 ROM. Finally it´s working...

There is more work to do, this is only the first V2 version... more will come.

BTW, included my Black Windows Media player skin, hope everyone likes it:

i have a feeling this ROM is a perfect base for upcoming TF3D for QVGA devices.
cudos to alex and those who are porting tf3d to our devices :D

There is still some resizing artifacts on the UI, but it´s not bad for a beta...
It´s running relatively smooth... ;)

Please give me (a newbee) some more informations.

I use the last lilly rom, flashing radio was not necessary. My actual radio rom is 1.58.16.27. Lilly runs very fast, some small bugs are included.

What are the advantages of your ROM, compared to Lilly? Ok, its lite, that I understood, i can install the stuff i like and alsways update.

But is your ROM faster (newer driver)? More stabile?

If I want to use your ROM, i have to change the radio (or not?) and the ROM. I dont want to kill my phone when i flash radio, do you recommend the change?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi , just test your rom with Nike100. With 3D Driver.

Test with Skyforce (The most lag game for Nike:mad:)

3D Driver can fix lag when touch the touch screen.

But not smooth framerate.


Hope the final driver can make our Nike to be Perfect.:)


Thank you. All

First of all, this one includes real 3D-Acceleration. That means, the Kaisers driver have been ported allowing to install the upcoming TouchFlo3D plugin...

As far as i understood, this 1 is meant to be a start off - more likely the basis for a 3D test.


Am i right with that ?

Of course, you can leave the 3D thing out and use it as a quite "state of the art" rom !

Thanks for information.

The question would be: Is lite rom with the new driver with tf 2d faster than other roms with tf2d. I dont know if i would use tf 3d when it makes my device slower. But, I dont know the advantages of 3d compared to 2d.

More good news!

I´ve did some testing with the display driver of the Cruiser, and so far appears to be a little faster on HW 3D than the Kaiser one...

I will update this ROM soon... new DDI.dll from Cruiser and some optimizations on the ROM.
