One question:
On the basis of which this ROM is made?
Because no one of the ROM based on a U.S.
ROM does not work in Europe. Actually
sms center does not work.
 
This is built off of 2.3.5 from a stock z990g

Do you have a stock (or close to stock) nandroid for your device? If you do or we can find one, I will compare the differences between the two. It is likely that this would allow me to create a European version of this ROM, possibly solving the sms issue.
 
Hey James, feel free to use MH-1.0.1E as a base for the European version :D. And I told you it was a slippery slope into the rabbit hole. Glad to see another developer pick up the Merit after mine died (still need to replace that).
 
I am glad that you are willing to help. I
currently have a ROM that made
Motorhead, and it's very good, and is
based on VIP serba ROM. But it does not
work the camcorder, but everything
else was great. Motorhead tried to make
the ROM-based VIVO Brazil but failed.
Here's a link to this topic and you have it
all links to the VIP and VIVO ROMs.
If you want I'll send you a link with my
backup VIP end VIVObrazil stock, I also
used for a long time.

Set the link becouse, I do not would like to bring
to the topic of your ROM. You have all the
necessary links. Contact pm me to pm if
you want backup my ROM.
I'll try your ROM and let you know if work
sms.
Sorry for bad english.
 
Hey zajchik, get into this file: /system/build.prop, then edit the following line: change media.stagefright.enable-record=false to media.stagefright.enable-record=true. That should fix your video issue :).
 
Hey no problem Zajchik, I hope I can help. And dont worry about your english, its fine, I actually have a few friends from your part of the globe, and theirs is much worse than yours lol.

Ill deffinatly want to take a look at your stock backups, and ill grab a copy of MH-1.0E. I wont be able to get into it tonight, Im working on a favor for someone else tonight, but Ill deffinatly dig in and try to help you out.
 
So it is confirmed to run on the Net 10 merit as well, is that correct?

The V6 scripts will work with this rom but you need to take some extra steps, I made sure that a compatable busyox version is present, but will have to probably have to make some manual smali edits to make it run. You may get an error from the script saying that the values have already been applied, but this is due to the fact that the applied build.prop changes were taken directly from that script.
 
Does this have Go Launcher? I like my app badges in it, being spoiled by my ipad, and I'd hate to replace whichever launcher is in this one throwing the look off as a result. Does this have plugin for notifications like the normal go launcher does? Says pro whatever difference that makes up top.
 
You are free to delete the themed launcher I have included in the ROM, and replace it with your favorite launcher app. Certain Go launcher themes will obviously look better than others over the modified framework of this ROM, but other than that, the changes to the overall look will be minimal. The modded version of launcher Pro really only contributes the matching dock icons and small apk size. (about a quarter of the size of go launcher) The theme mods you see are integrated right into the Framework and User Interface of the OS, so these theme mods in my ROM do not take up system resources in order to be present on your phone. Go launcher themes are completely seperate apps take up your precious internal memory. My mods work by altering the files already on your phone.
 
I was getting MD 5 miss matches yesterday figured it was a bad download. Tried it again and it workgood so far on a net10. Will give it a thorough run today. So far the home screen realigns on landdscape and the camera force closes aftrr every picture.
 
Thanks for letting me know, now that I think about it I have my phone locked on portrait mode so i didnt even know about that, thanks. Ill look into the camera issue as well.

Is anyone else having camera problems with this rom?

I doubt it. You can give it a shot, but I dont recommend it.

Camera issues are confirmed, but the bug seems to be in the app, i had a copy of retro cam that I just installed onto my device and everything worked fine. Ill look more into it.
 
Hi jamespfassett.
I've installed your rom and the problem with the
SMS in it there. I have a problem with camera too, but I installed UCAM and it works great.
Fonts are very difficult to read and should be
changed. Launcher works very well, and I iinace
MH-1.1e also set it as the default. I have a problem
with GALERIE that shows no picture, so I changed
it. Maybe you're too filled system memory, and I
would put the app such as maps, dolphin, calculator
and some more, to be installed later as a user on
sdext partition. Blue theme I really like it and it's
good.
 
After a little poking around, Im pretty sure that the camera effects app really doesnt like the system app partition, The solution seems to be converting it to a user app via Link2SD, this will allow you to keep the app and its editing functions. You will notice that most of the market camera apps are much larger in size.

@Zajchik, You are right I suppose. Being the first one I made, I did get a little selfish, configuring it to my tastes with fonts and apps that might not be the best ones for the job, but are just the apps that I happen to use.
However I left Link2SD in there for anyone who would like to remove those system apps in favor of the apps that work best for them. In hindsight I also should have left the stock gallery app in. The extra space it takes up is worth it.

I will make v1.1 with more of a "themed clean slate" mentality, allowing for easier and faster user customization.
 
Motorhead thanks for the tip that solved
the problem with the camcorder. My ( your )
MH-1.1e now shines in the true sense of
the word. Bravo for a great rom.
 
So far its holding up great. Was weird for me to not have music player but i found one.

My phone is like 40% mp3 player lol.

Oh one thing the right side up CWM didnt flash on mine. Not that i care just letting you know.



EDIT-for people who dont like the font, you can change that in 5 min with Uot kitchen. Thats what i did.
 
Personally the only thing that stops me from flashing this ROM is the fact that it comes pre-installed with software that I have no desire to use. Sort of reminds of why I rooted my phone to begin with.. To get rid of pre-installed junk. Props for the job well done though.

I know I could simply remove them once flashed.. but still. It should be a clean minimal install to be considered a "slimmed down" version of the original stock ROM.
 
Fear not, version 1.1 willbe ready in about an hour.... This version will be basicly themed empty space. since that seems to be the biggest gripe.

If you do happen to flash this rom, make sure to compare the space you used to have with the space you have now, I would venture to say that it has been slimmed considerably.

I configured v1.0 for my tastes, as I habitually take care of #1 (me) first. V1.1 will cater to everyone else

EDIT v1.1 is available, same link, same install procedure, only now you can expect 149mb free for user apps (91% free) and 68 mb free for system apps (31% free)
