Root ShadowRom In Rom Manager.

So far im having no problems with this ROM and it seems to be working great. Its basically CM6 with its own tweaks and modifications. I'm using king's AOSP kernel running at 1.113 ghz without any issues. Another neat addition is the built in OC settings app making it easier for those who dont use SetCPU to overclock the processor natively.
 
i switched back to CM6. I Just don't like the stock dialer and with CM6 I can install dialer one and replace the dialer icon in the launcher with my dialer one icon. Other than that the shadow ROM was really good. I liked the 3D wrap around effect of the app drawer =] also the power control widget had a LOT of options.
 
You can always use Launcherpro and then put Dialer one in the tray. Thats how I have mine set up and you also get the option of the 3D app drawer. Just A idea :) So far for me this has been great but I did notice just now that when I mount the phone to the computer that I cant access my internal memory. Anyone have this issue.... and maybe a solution?
 
Gave it a try, wasn't my cup-o-tea. If I'm not using stock, it's going to be cyanogen MOD, this was ok though, just not any better than CM in my eyes. Alll themse shadow, ruby, need to just team up with koush and do the damn thingg...
 
Jim can you update once this is on your working phone??? I want to flash this but want to know it is without bugs
 
Ok Flashed it on my New Incredible and it's working fantastic

BT Audio and Handsfree audio and phone control all work
WiFi works
3g Works
Calls work
Facebook sync works
Email works
camera and camcorder work
super fast see pic below


Only thing that doesn't work is Internal Storage isn't mounted. Honestly I could care less , it would be nice but I have 32gb card with 18gb free. I can't say anything about battery yet but it seemed to be pretty damn good on the other Incredible. I will report tomorrow on that

EDIT::
GPS works but turn by turn isn't loading fully it says searching for GPS for about 90sec when I gave up. I am however on the 3rd story of a 6story loft building . It might work better outside but I remember stock this worked.

I agree that its pretty fast. I dont think I was getting that fast with the rom as is but I did start getting some random reboots today. I dl'd the new king klic kernal for aosp today and have it oc'd to 1075 and it seems to be stable and Im getting over 1700 scores now. Do yo have any idea why I cant access the internal memory via usb? Could I use something like oi file manager or astro to move items to the internal memory. if so which folder is it. The items Im seeing when I go all the way up to home are sdcard, sys, root, emmc... etc... Am I all the wat out of the sd card? I wold think so but I dont see any folders im used to seeing like media 100

Sounds like you're outside of the sdcard . I just tried mounting via usb and all I could get was my sdcard . So with this ROM the Internal Storage is useless, kind of weak. But I'm guessing that's gonna get fixed soon

Dude emmc is your internal storage...bummer...I need a bigger SD card for this...

Thats what I thought. Just wanted to confirm because when I opened the emmc file there was nada in it. I just need to move a lot of music to free up space on my maxed card.. Thanks Gonzo:D Ill move the files and see if the phone sees it.

I hope so. This is my favorite rom so far.....
 
Isn't the internal memory not mounting an issue because Google didn't code Android to look for it? There's only a small handful of phones that support internal memory.

Good question... and a bit out of my league:o. i noticed it because on all the other roms I have flashed, when I wold mount the scard i would get 2 notificationns on my desktop to open. One was the sdcard and the other was the internal. The only other i had a issue with was Cyanogen mod and i received a error saying that my internal memory needed to be formatted. i declined because I didnt want to lose the info
 
I tried it out last night. It is certainly fast...but What can I say I am a sense guy...I did have a couple reboots and after doing a Ti app restore and situating my home screens I went to bed only to find that somehow my exchange email had b0rked overnight.

Nice but not for me.
 
Gonna give this a try today. Bj and Jim have talked so highly of it that I have to give it a shot. Been itching to go back to SkyRaider 3.0 Vanilla but wanted to wait until the final release. This may just scratch that itch.
 
So far so good. Using LauncherPro only because I can't find a good calendar widget. The basic Android one is garbage.
 
I have SR 3.0 RC2, as well, backed up. But this is one snappy rom. I'm going to go back to 7.28 radio now, I had a dropped call yesterday for the first time in years. Monitoring battery now with a bumped 1500.
 
Running this now and I actually like it a lot. I tried it the day it popped up in ROM manager but didn't keep it for long because I dont care for the "Vanilla" look so I didnt keep it for long. Decided to give it a try again last night. Soooo to make things even sweeter so far I have flashed Black and Bold, Incognito Red and Executive themes and they all work great. I am one happy camper :D
 
Mind posting some links to those themes? I like the plain Vanilla just fine, but sometimes it's nice to have a little flavor.

I'm having the same problem. GPS works but the location is way off. For some reason my phone wants me to live in the ocean. Turn by turn doesn't work though.

Weird, my GPS puts me spot on and turn by turn works fine. He says that setcpu is not needed, built in OC. Where is that setting or is it automatic?

NM, found it under performance settings in Shadow settings.
 
Did you go back to the 7.28 radio? Part of me wonders if it's a radio issue. The GPS isn't a big deal since I don't foresee myself needing Google Nav in the near future, but it would be nice to have it working.
