Need testers - G2 and Desire Z General

Anyone willing to test a rom I've made? I've been using it all day, but I want some more feedback before I release it.
As always, Neither I nor anyone else is responsible if you damage your device in any way by using this rom. Thanks.
This was built from CM source last night. So it's based off of 2.3.3. almost all the CM stuff still there with some modifications. Calling it KangedIT, since I did indeed kang it, and none of this is my original work. All I did was build from source and made some small adjustments.
Removed:
Cyanbread and Adrodian Themes
ADW Launcher
DSP Manager
Added:
Swype
Launcher2
Pershoot's Kernel
Boot animation from ryaninc
Other small stuff I don't remember
Credit where credit is due obviously. I'll give proper thanks when it's posted in development

Just a warning, I don't know if you can just put swype in. Its missing from all the roms on xda for a reason... :/

Doesn't it have swype stock? I thought so, and if that's the case it can in fact be included in the rom.

Swype is only currently only for the g2... so it would be fine for g2 users to download it but I dont know about disire Z

Okay I will test your rom right now and will give my feedback after a days use.

Exactly... its part of the T-Mobile rom. T-Mobile has licenced swype, while you have not.

Hmm... I think you should take out sywpe for your rom or make a diffrent rom for disire Z user

I asked the mods.... who said if the phone is sold with swype on it, it can be included in the rom. Check out the MT4G forum there are multipe roms over there with swype.

It will probably still need some modifications to work 100%, but it should at least boot, right?

[Q] Which ICS Rom?

I'm sure if this question has been asked previously but I can't seem to find it anywhere so here goes...
Which ICS rom would you say is the most stable? I would like to put an ICS rom on sister's phone. Or should she just go with another rom all together??
Please don't flame me for this question, I'm still a noob at this stuff
Thanks for any advice/recommendations.
There is no 'best' ROM..all on personal preferance. If you never use bluetooth, then one ROM might be more 'stable' than the other. If you do use bluetooth, then the other ROM might be more 'stable'. All on what your sister needs her phone to do. If it's just texting, calling, and facebook, any ICS ROM will do. Press thanks if I helped

She use her bluetooth all the time plus she plays alot of games too. Which would be the best for her? I was reading somewhere that there was a problem with low mic, I think I can't remember where I read that.

Depends on what she likes in a ROM as I said before. Many ROMs support bluetooth. For instance, unofficial CM9 here has bluetooth, but so does zips ROM here. I'd go with zips personally.

@g33kchic
I agree with invasion2 I have only tryed two of them but you should really do allot of reading on the different ones and make sure of things as far as how often the rom is updated. These roms are supper new so they have some strange non stock things that pop up from time to time I don't like to say bugs because most of these guys/gals do this as a hobbies and well things happen. So unless your ready to constantly be helping her with her phone you might think about doing to yours first. Just a FYI wish you well.

Euroskank cm 7.1 has some ics looks to it. Top it off with either go locker or widget locker for lock screen replacement.
Edit: download from rom manager would be the fastest way to find it.

I'd recommend TDJ's CM7 kang, and to get the ICS look, download an ICS CM7 theme, GO Launcher EX, and an ICS theme for GO Launcher EX. Set the lockscreen to Ring unlock in CM settings, and pick the Holo ring style. It's a really ICS heavy look while still retaining all the functionality and stability of GB.

I don't think the free version allow you to see the roms? I tried and it said I have to have the premium version.

I'd go with zips ROM, haven't run into any force-closes at all. Plus the aroma installer is great to have her there to see what apps you want pre-installed such as Angry Birds Space and other random goodies. It's extremely smooth and there's no low-mic issue. Just flash the camera patch that's in the OP of the zips thread ICS ROM after installing to fix the green line on the camera.

Your recommendation doesn't make sense for someone not familiar with flashing roms or rooting.
Do yourself a favor and stick with gingerbread cm7 or sense 3.0.

Hey eq I tried this rom for sister yesterday it starting acting weird where it kept showing the boot animation screen and my sister was kinda upset because she lost some important text she needed.
what I wanted to ask you before I wiped it I did a backup to see if we could maybe go back to retrieve her text messages but tried that but still no go with that.
Do you recommend any other stable rom that would be good for her?
Also do you know if text messages can be retrieved from a backup in cwm?
I know this is a lot but any help or direction would be greatly appreciated

What you should have done before even booting into recovery, for future reference, is made a backup of everything with Titanium Backup. Then you could have restored your messages to any ROM you wanted.

I have found the unofficial build of the ICS rom to be the most stable soo far. Everything seems to be functional and I havent had any issues with it. My phone literally is like 5 times faster than when i first got it. My battery likfe has tripled adter installing the shots of awesomeness kernel.
Man this thing is dope. I dont know if youre at all interested in what I have to say but if you are, please check out the link in the bottom, because these guys who made this deserve some credit for their hard work.

Give it a try, you wont be disappointed. Just maek sure to root your phone and everything before actually installing the rom, but im sure you already know this so theres no need for me to be telling it to you.
But yeah, everything is functional on this rom, you wont be disappointed... trust me

Really I wasn't asking for a cracked or pirated app. Just wondering if their was either a way to make a stock eclair launcher work and/or a third party launcher that will work. Please do not assume I was asking to steal anyone's work.

I was asking for an alternative, I am sorry maybe I should have specified. Take for instance I know of three gingerbread launcher in the play store 2 are free where as the other charges $2.00. I also should have made a seperate question is there a way to make a stock aosp launcher compatible with gingerbread miui? It was my fault for not wording my question properly.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
I've just closed the report. Just to clarify, I share the OP point of view, about he is asking for a free alternative rather than a cracked version.
Thanks to both users who enforced the forum rules compliance, but I think this is just a misunderstanding
Glad that got cleared up. I just looked around on Google for awhile and couldn't find any free, non-pirated eclair style launchers. Looks like you might need to shell out the $2.
Why doesn't the launcher2 from a 2.1 Rom for a different device (found in /system/app) work
--sent from my glacier.
Alright sorry OP, my mistake...
Have you tried taking out the eclair launcher from a eclair ROM (if you can even find one...) And installing it as a system app? Make sure permissions are set to rw r r
Also...out of curiosity... Why eclair lol

Maybe he picked up a phone running eclair and said, "Hey, that's a nice launcher." I've done that before. Not with eclair specifically, but the same principal applies.

Honestly just wanted to go old school lol. Paying $2 isn't a big deal its just well it's not like I plan on using it that often or for that long. I like to change my themes/launcher often. One of the reasons why I love Android over other OS's
About pushing the launcher from a previous rom and pushing it to the system/apps via root browser and adjusted the permissions and it didn't work. I didn't try to use adb..up until recently I didn't have adb on my computer until a couple if months, so I am still very new to it.
