RUN A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING!

MINOR UPDATE AVAILABLE - SEE POST #1377 (Page 138)

Please consider making a donation so I can spend more time developing! I can't do it as much as I'd like as my phone has to be off all day.

Thank you, it's appreciated.





RUN A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING – THIS ROM WILL AUTO-WIPE

First of all; I haven’t as of yet managed to get Gmail push working, nor have I even attempted to fix GoogleNav. What I have done, is attempted to fix a multitude of minor bugs. This release should prove to be more stable, and less laggy (unless you install the optional Espresso).

CHANGELOG:

Added:
- Chinese Keyboard
- HTC PhotoWidget
- 1.5 Cupcake style Dialler (quicker)
- OPTIONAL Espresso-Rosie (Highly optimized & slightly altered – no bubbles!)



Changes:
- Camera fixed. I have just taken over 30 photographs at various settings, and it’s absolutely fine.
- gapps FC fixed
- HTC Sense FC fixed
- (AGAIN) fixed doubling of HTC widgets
- Made changes to synchronisation settings within the build
- Further customised the kernel
- Several memory leaks resolved (Free memory is still on the low side, but that’s to be expected with a Sense build – Instead of the 50-60mb free in
2.0.1, there’s now 70-80mb free after install.
- Fixed network location for data connection (before it only worked 100% with wireless)

ATTEMPTED to fix:
- Exchange sync (please test)
- Gmail (again, and again, and again, and again – please test)

Install Steps:
- Run Nandroid Backup
- Perform FULL WIPE/FACTORY RESET (Weirdly, although the rom auto-wipes, this seems to prevent doubling of widgets)
- Flash VillainROM2.1
- Boot the phone up
- Reboot/Turn off
- OPTIONAL – Add Espresso Rosie Optimized (attached)

Espresso-Rosie Optimized - See this thread for info.
