Defiance 2.0.4



The battery life should now be great - comparable to the 1.5 ROMs.
It's based on BeHero 1.2.3 but with my own tweaks added in.

There's a full changelog in the 2nd post. I'll hopefully have a Wiki and Bug Tracking feature setup shortly.
I want this ROM to be community supported that is if you have absolutely any requests or suggestions then I would be VERY glad to hear them.

Here's a list of features you can expect:
  • No more battery drain
  • Auto A2SD
  • Working Root Permissions
  • Working Titanium backup - with sqlite support
  • Init.d folder support
  • Auto Ad-blocking in browser
  • Massive APN list
  • MultiTouch maps
  • Navigation
  • Reduced clutter
  • Default Desire wallpaper and lockscreen
Applications included in system:
  1. Titanium Backup
  2. Wireless Tether
  3. AutoKiller 1.1
Applications included in data
  1. All HTC Widgets
  2. MetaMorph
  3. Astro
  4. aTrackDog
  5. Backup for Root
  6. Genie Widget (News and Weather)
Todo
- Custom bootscreen
- Remove excess bookmarks
- Confirm VPN/PPTP
- Fix for SIM contacts

Notes:
1 - No task killer tweak is included. I didn't like having the settings decided for me as it would sometimes kill apps I like to leave running like Talk. I have included AutoKiller 1.1 (new version of MinFreeManager) which you can configure easily and it does the same job as the Task Killer Tweak.

2 - I have tested Wireless Tether and it seems to work for me. If anyone has issues I can replace it with aNetShare

3 - The Ad-Block file may cause Dolphin Browser to give an error saying "Unable to load URL" when it blocks an ad. The default browser is pretty fast in this ROM. If the Dolphin popup becomes annoying I can tell you how to disable adblocking.

4 - I've tried to remove most of the default bookmarks, there's about 4 left. I'll try to get them all removed by the next update.

5 - There should be working VPN and PPTP but it needs testing. Any results will be appreciated.

  1. Downloading now. Will post update when flashed. Currently running BeHero 1.3.2 but the battery life is awful. Charged up last night and was on 15% by the morning! Hopefully this will be better.

  2. First impressions seem good. Quick and responsive. I just hope the battery holds out longer than 12 hours. Will post further updates.
