Thanks for testing out my build. Regarding the camera, I also provided MIUI camera, which should behave a little better... regarding the battery life, I have intentions of producing my own battery savings kernels, just like a did for the Atrix, it will take a little time to complete... I have to say that I came from stock build and the battery life is much better now... it even compares to Unity...

Not to take anything away from this build. It's a great build. I'm just spoiled by the sense camera snappiness and battery life (ironic that it's so good now). You've done a great job with cm7. Can't wait for the new kernel!

Ive been using this rom since it was posted and its been running great for me. no issues what so ever. battery life has been excellent (but i have an extended battery) but im able to get 2 days out of this and Im even overclocking it to 1.2ghz on the conservative governor.

Think I'm going to give this a shot when I get off work. Running cm9, and just tired of the crappy data, play store problems on cm9. Ran cm7 when I first rooted this inc 2. We'll give your build a shot and see how it goes. :)

It's probably one of the best cm7 builds.

I am planning on updating, not necessarily on the same schedule as the nightly builds... this rom is not modded, it's actually compiled from source... I also make sure that the new source code does not cause any problems...

Here you go.. I did my best.. While logcat was running I unlocked the screen 3 times and not once was there a lock screen to use.. Just went to home..

I think I have narrowed down to where the problem with the lockscreen is coming from, I think it has to do with the GAPPS of the MROM. I did a full wipe, clear cache/davlik, etc.

When using "MROM-gapps-gb-09212012.zip (147)" - lockscreen doesn't appear
When using "Gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip (2774)" - lockscreen appears and functions like normal

I appreciate the research about this issue, the mrom gapps was created to simplify the process, I will take a look at the file to figure out what the problem is... in the mean time only use the gapps-gb file...

Alrighty.. Let me try using the gapps from CM...


Ok.. flashed with the original gapps packages and all is fine. With the other gapps package you provide lock screen is broken and initial setup doesn't run.. But with the usual gapps it's all good in the hood!!

So, I have been running this for roughly 16 hrs straight. And haven't encountered a force close or slow down what so ever. Everything seems to be working great. Smooth, stable, fast and looks freaking sweet. Great job, think ill use this as my DD. :)

Hmm I love stability, smoothness, and reliability. I'm currently using Condemned's CM7.2 v1.6. How does this ROM compare to that?

Just wanted to point out that the problem with the home/search, and weird lockscreen is corrected by following the installation steps in the main post. First flash MROM zip file, boot the phone without gapps, reboot in recovery and flash gapps. There is nothing wrong with the MROM gapps... it works fine... this is a common cyanogen mode 7 problem... for ROM updates, you don't have to this anymore, you can flash one on top of the other without rebooting...

    Introducing MROM-Vivow. Custom ROM for the HTCI2

    This is my attempt to build a stable, complete, and fully functional custom ROM for the HTC Incredible 2 completely built from source code; HTCI2-MROM is built on top of Cyanogen ROM latest source code. I recompiled all components to guarantee maximum efficiency and performance. Along the way, I realized that I needed things to work different for the HTCI2, so I also made some changes. If you like my work, consider a donation to my cause.

    HTCI2-MROM is entirely build from source. You will see the difference when you run it. Just to list a few features:
    • Optimum battery life, better than any other ROM I have tested
    • Quick, responsive
    • Contains all the most common HTCI2 tweaks
    • MIUI Camera for a better picture experience
    • QuickPic gallery application
    • Rotating Lights

    While I tried to maintain the main core small, size is not the main focus.

    Before posting negative comments about the ROM. Browse the thread and the FAQ. http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/mrom-faq-2/

    Requirements:
    • Clockworkmod or compatible recovery
    • HTCI2 with an unlocked bootloader

    • Boot the phone
    • Reboot in recovery and install Google Apps (this is required to avoid the home and search button not working)
    • If applicable, re-apply the addon package
    • Reboot
    • 1st reboot takes a little longer

    Update from a previous version:
    • This updates are could introduce instabilities, they are provided as an independent package
    • Download file HTCI2-MROM-yyyymmdd-update.zip. THIS CAN ONLY BE APPLIED ON TOP OF A PREVIOUS HTCI2-MROM

    Not quite familiar with how to build roms yet, and I will respect the authors wishes not to mod. However, I would imagine a quick fix is calling aero's rotate_lights.sh from ActivityManagerService.updateConfigurationLocked(...).

    Something like:

    Code: 
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(String.format("/system/xbin/rotate_lights.sh %d", newConfig.orientation - 1));
} catch (IOException e) {
    Slog.e("TAG", "Failed to execute rotate_lights.sh", e);
}

    This is a reasonable workaround, I will look into this for the next release.. thanks for suggesting...
