INSTRUCTIONS

Requirements:
Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x (3.0.0.7 for Amoled and 3.0.0.8 for SLCD)
Radio 2.x (Try different ones and see which works best for you. I am using 05.02)
hboot 0.92 Required (See this post #635 for hboot 0.92 and instructions)
A Full Wipe Highly Recommended! (Required if this is the first version you are installing)
NOTE: Will not flash over anything but this ROM.

1. Copy ROM to root of the SDCARD
2. Boot into recovery and install it via the Install Zip from SD card option

NOTE: Be patient on first boot since it may sit for a few minutes

DISCLAIMER: As usual, flash at your own risk and don't forget to backup your current installation before flashing.

NOTE: ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.x required since it is Gingerbread

Downloads
Version 3.0 >>>> Download
MD5 = 15f74dd0738235625b6767c4860e80ff


Version 3.0 with 3D Carousel >>>> Download (NOTE: If you really want the 3d - Carousel I recommend my full 3.0 ROM)
MD5 = 3c9ebae82d60976f73ad5f30d395decc

NOTE: Runs pretty good especially if you use SpareParts and set animations to fast.
NOTE 2: Fresh install with full wipe required.

IMPORTANT: Won't flash over anything unless I say otherwise. For a fresh install you must be using the correct CWM for your screen type (3.0.0.7 for Amoled or 3.0.0.8 for SLCD ) with ROM Manager or alternatively full wipe in recovery, then install/choose zip from SD Card

RULE OF THUMB: If you choose to flash over without a wipe and have lags, FC's, things missing, or things just don't work right then flash again with a complete wipe

Random Thoughts:

If you are using Google restore for a large amount of apps then expect some lag in the early minutes or hour or so after the install.

If you are experiencing a lot of lag after a fresh install check to see if it is Google restore. Most people don't even notice the option is on when signing into the market.

If you are using any means to restore and that restore is from another ROM suspect what was installed if you are having problems with this ROM

If you are using any means to restore and that restore is from a prior version of this ROM suspect what was installed if you are having problems.

Try different radios to see which one gives you the best network speed and overall functionality. For me it is the 11.19 radio for my area.

Add-Ons and Mods

Interested in doing your own theming? Check out the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen

Lets you select battery styles, icons for all over, task bar mods, and even boot animations.

Use the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and SystemUI.apk from the ROM zip folder

==============================================
Helpful hints on battery life:

• Look in Settings > Accounts & Sync and make sure you are not syncing anything you don't care about like news and stocks, etc. Leave them to update when opened. Same with E-Mail.
• Go into the people/contacts and make sure you are only syncing contacts you need. For example I use Outlook and turned off Google and phone.
• Turn off WiFi when you are not in range or need it. I boosted the search frequency time but it still helps to not have it searching at all
• Adjust screen brightness to say 50% then put it on auto.
• In Settings > Location turn off GPS and Phone Finder. That assumes you don't care about Phone Finder.
• In Settings > Privacy turn off automatic backups if you don't use them
• In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall ES File Explorer and HTC_IME mod (My black keyboard) if you don't use them. EFS runs in the background all the time.
• Look in Settings > Applications and see if you have any apps that run all the time that you don't really use and uninstall them.

If I think of more I will add them.

Most of these use battery but also use RAM so you can save on both.
==============================================
Installable Applications
NOTE: Just copy to SDCard and install like any other app.

None
======================================
Flash-able Add-Ons and Mods

NOTE: These will only work on this ROM unless you rename the folders in the zip files

Cool. Downloading. I've tried all the 2.0/3.0 roms. I like incubuses the most but the call roaming issue bothers me. Hope map works on this one for me. Thanks!

Any chance of this having the Sence 3.0 stock market app and widget...? Or is it the same/older Stock app...?

Other than the lock screen, the new Stock widget is pretty sweet.

Nils, its great to see you taking part in GingerSense rom building!

I have been a fan of your work in the past and will give this one a shot.

I was waiting for a 2.1/3.0 mix that is stable enough for a daily driver (since I use my Inc for business also) and this looks like the one I will try.

Not as bad as it sounds because the framework is in system and the apps are in the internal storage

 

[tsoms]

sense 3.0 lockscreen the only sense 3.0 feature?

Been waiting for the right time to release. Based on the excellent work wdfowty did and additional work it is pretty stable.

No. Check out the first post. I updated it

 

[Taebom]

[sruel3216]
