[ROM][2/10/11] NO SENSE: HTC Vision (G2/Z) MoDaCo Custom ROM with Online Kitchen (r2)

[paulobrien]

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the HTC Vision (this is the version based on the T-Mobile G2 ROM, without HTC Sense)! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.

Remember that if you use this ROM, you do so entirely at your own risk!!

About MoDaCo Custom ROMs

MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.

Requirements

In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed (Clockwork Mod).

THIS ROM SHOULD RUN ON BOTH THE G2 AND THE DESIRE Z!

Features (these are the features for the currently posted prebake, please check the changelog for any pending changes that are in the kitchen)

• Based on the 1.22.531.8 T-Mobile G2 ROM
• Pre-rooted with su and Superuser Permissions by ChainsDD
• Insecure boot image (ro.secure=0)
• Optimised with the MCR build process, which means that the ROM will fit on a G2 without needing to remove any content!
• All components updated to the latest versions
• ROM is de-odexed

Please note that this is a r1 release, many more changes will be added now via the kitchen and periodically updated prebakes (as per normal MCR builds!)

Changelog

Please see 2 posts below this one for the changes in each release.

Installation

To install this ROM:

• Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card
• Restart your device in recovery mode
• PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP FROM THE MENU
• Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card

Upgrading

No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.

Downloads

This ROM is now available in the online kitchen! In addition to the kitchen, a prebaked download is available.

DOWNLOAD

Thanks

It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.

Future Updates - READ THIS!

By providing this ROM I am not implying in any way that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).

And finally...

Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in download topic at MoDaCo.

Enjoy!

You say...

"No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM (unless you are coming from a non-'Sense' ROM)"

As this ROM has no Sense, shouldn't that be read ...unless you are coming from a 'Sense' ROM?

Tweaked ta!

It would be helpful to know what's you've added over your first ROM - aside from scoring 22pts higher on Quadrant

You're more than welcome.

I'm going to putting the with-Sense ROM on, soon. I just need a compelling reason to do it which i haven't yet got...yet!
