I am proud to present you with an All-in-One custom ROM for the HTC Desire.


Header_Glass.png



Thanks very much to PAC-man devs and all the other dev teams, e.g. PA, AOKP and CM, for their amazing ROM features!

PAC-man ROM 4.4 is a ROM build from scratch from AOSP with our own tweaks and options, including picks and features from the best ROMs out there!

Why choose among ROMs, when you have All-in-One !!

Right. I've just grabbed the screenshots from the pac-rom website. Hope you enjoy PAC.

If your Google account is not syncing properly, just reboot the phone.

So far so good...

Installed it the first thing today -

Followed every single step, including performance tweaks - clean installation.

All looking good so far -
  • No restarts/FCs yet. Calls, SMS, wifi, 3g, gapps, and other daily features working fine.
  • Google maps and navigation - checked - works.
  • Music/Videos etc - checked - works.
  • In-built live-wallpaper works! :)

Will use for a couple more days before I say anything about performance or battery life.
For now, nice and smooth enough to be a daily driver... thanks!! :good:

Ups, looks like I promised too many features for this release. :p

I believe that it's just a matter of time until pie controls and the other PA and/or Slim features make their way into this rom..

Follow up after two complete days of usage..
The good: mostly runs smooth; and just too many options and songs available to customize your desire.
The bad: few FCs while using the keyboards(stock and SwiftKey).
Graphic glitches on the home sometimes (usually after opening a few apps). Had to even restart a couple of times for both the above issues.
Performance: I have made the changes recommended by spezi77, and it works fine most of the times. Can't complain.
Battery life: would last a day of I don't play around too much. But since I was busy testing things for quite some time, had to charge it couple of times a day. But saw that it charges up pretty fast.

If possible to reproduce, I'll attach logcat for the issues.

Thanks spezi77, good rom!
