Root [Merit] Speedfreak has a new home... Details here!

i just switch between a few nandroids setup in my SD Card. i can switch from one to use daily for just normal apps, another for games, a second game nandroid, and the original config prior to One.three and SpeedFreak. i already have an 8GB card (installed now) but i can't risk the data loss should resizing and repartitioning causes a wipe. i got music from the days of my old BlackBerry that's how long i started--i cannot risk losing it all

Has the thought of backing them up, then partition your sd card, and then restore them.cross your mind? It's what I did.
 
i use clockworkmod to make the backups, rename the folders for the three

1. Factory (my rooted stock ROM)
2. Games (SpeedFreak 1.1 with many games installed)
3. Default (SpeedFreak 1.1, Go Launcher and daily-use apps)

all i do is whenever i make a big enough change, i boot into recovery and make a new backup, it creates a dated folder and i boot back into the same ROM i was last in, go to root browser and delete the old folder and rename the dated folder the same. if i want to play Angry Birds, i just boot back into recovery and select 'Games' and it reloads the old Games ROM with all the games on it. this way space is a non-issue
 
Mainly what the new version will do, it mount any sd ext present straight to your internal memory partition, if you dont have an ext, nothing will happen, even if you dont have an ext, you will still be able to take advantage of the Supercharger boot script, and a few more I snuck in there, there are some good ones, if you thought 1.1 was fast... then hang on son.

Its also built with the compatable system files from the Vivo Brazil port uploaded by Brohn. It makes for a more compact package, and he had init.d halfway there already. Though in hindsight I coud have just waited a week and used stayboogys method. They produce the same result, exept for some reason my version of init.d uses a version of the run-parts bianary that is quite a bit larger.

I wont have the update ready tonight, I got back late and dont wanna get into it tonight, but I am gonna do some themeing, If everything looks ok, I might post the disco white theme patch tonight.

go locker is kinda weak, not to knock go because they make good stuff, the only way you can mod a lockscreen is with UOT and those mods are minimal, unless you take the rom apart on your computer.

Thanks for all the good feedback, "Hotrod" really is just creative license, the perfect description for the device with all those tweaks if you ask me. Glad you like it, 2.0 is going to blow this version out of the water. Im not going to give it all away yet, but 2.0 is completely redesigned. It is not based on the stock merit rom at all. Its a frankenstien monster... but way faster on the hoof...

I'm having mms issues seems its not receiving
 
MMS is one of those issues that are easily broken. Out of 5 beta testers (including jamespfasset and zajchik), two had MMS isues. one was Zajchik, which was related to him being in Serbia, and the other's phone is cursed or something (not really, but it has other problems).

By the way James, my next patch for my Beta ROM is up ;)
 
Clockworkmod recovery usually. What he does is theme the two main UI apps (framework-res and systemUI), then adds them to a CWM zip.
 
Sorry I was having some internet problems last night, To install the theme, dowload it and leave it zipped, then copy the file to your sd card. Now reboot into recovery and go to "install zip from sd" > "choose zip", select the file, install and reboot.
 
i tryed it and it says white out theme zip finding update opening update installing update and then it says installation aborted any ideas im running clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0
 
Hmm, I guess I dont know, Ill have to look at it.

In the meantime, The updated rom is loading to my dropbox right now. The theme was built on this version, but since the frameworks are the same it should not matter.

EDIT - I think I found the problem with the theme patch, I reloaded it my dropbox, should work now.
