Porting Rom : LiquidM_Villain - Vibrant General

I've been playing with the LiquidM_Villain rom on my G2 and it turns out to be a pretty sick rom. If you haven't checked it out it kinda reminds me of miui. Not the rom itself but the idea of it. In other words something new and made with some out of the box thinking.
Heres a link to the original rom's thread if you wanna check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963755
Anyway I was disappointed to see that this rom hasn't been ported for the vibrant yet. I definitely think it'll be a good addition to the already great set of rom's we have over here.
I'm going to start working on this today. I just wanted to post this is for anyone who might want to lend a hand with any part of the process. So if its sounds like your kind of fun email me lol
(my emails in my signature)

ya that looks pretty sweet

I like the idea of the status bar on the bottom in the lockscreen, interested to see how this turns out

Pretty dang cool... hope you can get this running as it looks pretty fresh.

Ok...I loaded Cyanogens mod on my phone but....

It doesn't really look that different and it saved my contact list which I didn't expect it to do. I kinda expected a clean sweep of everything and for it to start fresh. I mean it is definitely different but does it sound like I am missing something here? Should I have put a theme on with it or something?

It's supposed to look stock. Add a theme if you want to personalize it. and the contact list is saved on Google servers, and it auto-sync's adds contacts when you do a wipe.
I guess I expected it to look like this right from the start

It's a theme, read what the guy wrote:
"I just flashed Cyanogen's 3.9.7 unstable ROM and so far it works great. Super fast - way faster than the default Rogers ROM. I added the HTC Dark Hero theme and it looks pretty good so far."
I failed to read that part...haha....oops
Also roms are not only about looks, Cyanogen's mods are the most optimized around here and that means good speed, good battery and good features too!
Hey XwXDv8XwX
i followed your guide from before to root the Rogers Dream. now that haykuro and dream_kill have released the method to add the rom, i was wondering which steps you started at from

Which ROM???

Noob here, and I apologize for that... LOL
I'm new to the Android world. Have my CDMA Hero rooted running stock 1.5. Looking at the Wiki for the Hero ROM, there are currently 13 of them to choose from.
I searched for comments, comparisons and such, and there really isnt much here, or I wasn't searching right.
Anyway, can anyone tell me why they like the ROM that they are running so well? So maybe I can decide which I might like to try out?
Thanks guys, Noob or not, these forums have been soooo helpful! Keep up the great work.
Fresh 2.0d plus the vanilla lockscreen (minus menu). Thank me later.
BTW, I have tried nearly every ROM here... I would suggest you do the same since different people like different stuff. Vanilla Darch comes in second for me and I prefer the Helix launcher over any other.

It's just like a buffet, the first time you go there you try everything to find out what you like! The next time you go back you only try what you like!
They are all about the same speedwise, it's all about trying them to find the one that suits you and has stuff that you want in a ROM, most of them have screenshot to see what they look like, and most of them are near 100%.
Roman
Heres what I do. Nandriod, test, restore if I don't like it.

I gotta say, Fresh 2.0d is awesome. Just make sure you also install the vanilla lockscreen.
RegawMOD v2.0.2p here but it's also in how you can put bits and pieces together that makes it quick and smooth for you in all reality.
I run Damagecontrol 2.05 as my daily with vanilla lockscreen, black/blue dialer/black droid launcher/black keyboard, etc, etc....
I'm running DamageControl2.05, slimmed down and modded. Still trimming fat, but my last update.zip was only like 90Mb. Seriously, just give them a try. It's not like buying a car, there is no buyers remorse. If you try one and don't like it, you just move on to the next one. Be warned, once you start modding them yourself, it becomes addictive. Next thing you know, you'll find yourself missing sleep cause you're pouring over apk's and png's getting everything just how you want it... not speaking from experience or anything, lol

ditto.. fresh2.0d outta all of them.. cause it worked for me outta the box.. darchvanilla for me as a second choice.. and i like u and a helix launcher man..
not to say any of the other roms out there are bad.. fresh works for me..
gotta give me vote to damagecontrol. if your new to flashin, consider v1, its the most stable in my opinion. if your looking to tweak and mod however, the latest is the best.

The Ultimate Droid now available for Evo

A friend of mine swears by this guy's work, so I am going to give it a try right now. Thought y'all might like to know about it. It is at theultimatedroid dot com. Download does require registration, though.
Keep us updated!!!
Cool, I'll give it a wack. Bored anyways.
oh and thanks for sharing.
I finally downloaded it (my connection cut off). Performed nandroid backup, wiped everything, and installed.
The first boot took about 2 minutes from off to main config. So far seems pretty responsive. I got a FC the first time, but then it worked the second. Default launcher is Launcher Pro, which is fine by me.
Before I installed any apps, I tested with Quadrant, and the score was 1495.
So far seems good. I'll update anything I come across that seems off.
No FC's here.
Pretty sweet rom. I'm actually amazed...
recommend!
I just got 30 mflops for Linpack too.

Is this from the same rom cooker lol, that kanged Cyanogen?
How is the battery so far?
I was going to ask what the hell it was we were talking about here, but I just registered and I'm going to install it. What the hell!
Looks good from the screenies.
This guy's stuff made my D1 dance. I've always been very impressed with his work. I've never seen him release something that wasn't solid. Of all the roms I put on my D1 (and they were many...) this was by far the fastest and snappiest of them all while keeping TONS of features included. This rom is sure to perform.
BTW, st4nt0n...you're welcome for the recommendation
Where do you go to download?

... He told you where to go. The website... Register. Goto Evo. Easy.

You'll still need to register.
In case that doesn't work, the main site is:

Holy crap im impressed, so far so good. thanks for sharing dood!

Why don't they put this ROM on the forums here?...
Only problem I have, is Launcher Pro won't update since it came on the ROM. Kind of a problem, I'm trying to fix that now.
Otherwise, I love it. Looks great, runs great, and feels good!
can somebody give more complete info? is this a ROM or a theme? because the pic onthe ultimatedroid.com showed verizon on the screen, but this is for EVO right?
kind of boggles the mind that the OP made a topic talking about it and just said he was going to try, without a whim of actually saying what it is?
am i out the loop? am i supposed to know what ultimate droid is? sounds like a diff phone to me (droid)
Looks like a AOSP rom with a Droid theme... Lots of black and red. Runs super great, and looks great to boot. Lots of crazy options like built-in overclocking and such. Go register and check it out. It's definitely one of my favorite roms so far!

It is a ROM not a theme. It is available for Evo, Incredible, and (original) Droid. I flashed it and while it is pretty nice I think I'll be sticking with Frost for the time being.

[Q] A touchwiz/cyanogen hybrid?

Hello xda, I was wondering if anyone would like to see a rom/mod I made and have been playing around with. I was thinking about compiling a finshed project on this upcoming sunday after I make and add some cool things like a custom transparent notification bar, clear backgrounds behind the icons, transparent drawer, etc.
The only question is..anyone interested?
I'd be down to try it out. I change roms every other day for something new.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I'm also interested. I'll give it a try if you post it.
No one will condemn you for trying, and every effort is appreciated. Of course you can expect a flood of reports if it doesn't work or lacks functionality, but that's the point of posting ROMs here, to get feedback and make them better. Good luck, hope to see something soon.
I will definitely give it a shot.
Release it. I am sure many other MT4G users will appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
re;
Thank for the replies, as of right now I am currently working on the icons and notification bar.
+1 im bookmarking this
i'd like to test it out as well.
update!
]Here's a shot of the notifactions its not done yet lol I think ill add some more spark to it an you can see my unfinished app drawer icon, that also still WIP. ( http://www.mediafire.com/i/?t1xsvqyu1b5slag ) this is a sub link if that attached pic doesn't appear.
I'd love to see something different. Pleasee!
looks good. cant wait till its done.
Was this ever completed? Anything like this out there?
I was gonna do this, but I already found out that there is a TouchWiz theme for the CM7 for the CM7 theme chooser, (as well as more selections, such as Sony's TimeScape, Vanilla Froyo, MotoBlur)... So I just left that and used the themes instead, they're pretty amazing.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback, and quick reply!

[Video] Overcome v2.1.1 ROM "review" (update, added the recovery too)

Last night I decided it was time to try something different. Task's ROMs are popular, but unfortunately for us... there is not a whole lot that makes one ROM really different from another.
I wish there were a lot of tweaks made.... lockscreens added... MIUI battery bar.... additional toggles.... long-pressing toggles to take you to the settings... etc.
But, we do not have those things... so, what are the real differences from one ROM to another? build.prop tweaks... boot animations... themes.... and of course all are deodexed/zipaligned.
All that said... for what it is worth, Overcome does feel better than Task 7-10 did. I used it with the stock kernel for awhile, and then I tried it with pershoots kernel at 1.2 (not 1.4). This made it feel even better.
I have experienced no issues, and while I use ADW EX, the stock launcher that is included felt really snappy. I just love my gestures.
Below is a video (not a great one) of Overcome v2.1.1.... would strongly encourage you guys trying it. This is not a sound board for this ROM is better than this ROM... it is simply so you can see another ROM and hopefully encourage people to try some new ROMs.
OVERCOME CAN BE FOUND HERE
Next on my list is BinDroid... the custom theme included on that is very sexy.
I am uploading another for a widget picket app that I would love developers to start including....UPLOADED... YOU CAN VIEW THIS AMAZING APP HERE
Big fan of the recovery...
TASK told me this video review has nothing that a ROM review should have..... I'd be curious what exactly I could have shown that I did not. Please let me know how I can improve for the next video.
.
thanks for the video
I spoke to a guy here that is planning to release a rom for the tab that has all those things and a lot more. Hopefully he does cos it sounded fantastic. I checked his thread for one of his roms, I think it was the galaxy s 2 and it is great
^ who was it?
I have added another video of the Recovery... big big fan of the tweaks made to it.
strongly encourage looking at the Widget Picker app also... a must have for me.
It's a secret lol It wasn't a galaxy, don't know where I got that from. I am not saying much as it isn't up to me to talk about it yet. But you will see soon I just spoke to the guy ;-)
Thanks for the video. Great ROM.
