Welcome to the "Energy" ROM thread !


This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the EVO !

I build my ROMs with four main goals.
Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
Speed !!!
Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
Stability through private beta testing before public release
I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.

So are you saying that WiFi doesn't work in this ROM? If so what is this trick you speak of?

Wifi works fine.:D

If you decide to flash a custom kernel, you will have to do the mount/unmount data trick.

Boot to recovery
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Go to mounts, mount data
Flash custom kernel
Go to mounts, unmount data
Reboot phone

Ahh, O.K. I gotcha.
 
Oh man, this is going to be competing with the new supersonic now.


Guess I have something new to play with until it gets released
 
Anyone know if any of the battery and signal notification mods will work with this ROM? Also why does the "Personalize" button open the internet? Is there anyway to change that?
 
I have no idea regarding the mods of which you speak.

I understand that if you use a long press on the screen, that you can really personalize from there, and also choose which app you want in the normally personalize button location.

edit: if not, it may be in your settings somewhere to change. I saw that in one rom, it let you decide to choose an app for that spot and then let you pick it.

Its like that for every 3.5 rom. Just hit settings>personalize to personalize
 
Can someone post the pri/prl on this ROM?
Is it switched to sprint or still running on VZW? I'm hoping to see someone get one of these builds working on sprint towers soon!

i don't believe there's a way to change that right now. Remember that this is the first build from NRG and these things may eventually get resolved

Yup, sounds good...just thought I would ask. So far I am really liking this ROM seems smooth and fast. I have had great battery life so far. I just wish there was a way to 4G working in this ROM instead of having to re-flash a later version when it comes out.

Others may have a different opinion but I personally feel that 4G will never work on these ports until we have a Sprint phone with Sense 3.5. Again, just my opinion:)

Ahh...I understand what your saying, I didn't think about that.

Even better than the 18th build;):)
 
So those of you that run this...what are the pros and cons? Is it better than newtoroot's version?

It's a themed version of the runnymede and imo, in very good taste!;) Fast for sure but the only problem I've run into is getting a2sd running. For some reason, the normal darktremor's, a2sd reinstall, a2sd cachesd, is not working. But I'm not too concerned about space beacuse I don't have more than 35 apps installed so I'm right around 100mb:( Other than that though, it's definitely worth the flash:)
