About the Aphrodite Family:
Harmonia, daughter of Aphrodite, is the immortal goddess of harmony and concord.

The idea is pretty much a bare rom, based or as close as possible to what a stock rom should have been, that you add your themes and such to. You won't find any bloat, what is here is here because it needs to be and not much more. This allows you to create the phone you want without anything you don't want or need. Just a lean, mean phone, your way.

Warning
While I do all I can to ensure these work properly, but things do happen, so use it at your own risk.

Download
Harmonia 2.03 Donate here if you feel inclined to brighten my day.

Make sure you have the ZV5 update and are using a recent CWM recovery.

To upgrade from any previous version of Harmonia 2.x), go into "mounts and storage", wipe cache, systems and boot, go into "advanced" and wipe Dalvik, then flash. If you have issues, do a complete wipe. All others do a complete wipe.


My sincere thanks go to the brave testers and especially Ktb83 and Giantpune for their help in making this rom work.

3g/1x fix (should now show 1x instead of 3g)

Updated first post...
Launcher does not auto rotate, just how it is. Froyo didn't either (neither does the Evo V and One V).
 
Leslie, you're amazing.

And, while I'm upgrading to Harmonia, I will donate (as soon as PayPal stops being a turd).

Thank you.
 
I'm still getting this when trying to use adb. It happens weather or not I have a microSD card in the phone.
Code: 
j@laptop:~$ adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
check_LGE_official: fopen(/sdcard/_ExternalSD/m3s_security/m3s_security) error

Aside from that, everything looks like it works.

EDIT:
Also, wifi tether shows a toast message that it cant change permissions for some file, and then another toast message that it started with errors. And finally, "Unable to start tethering. Is your devices rooted?"

Does it work on Sprint OEs?

It might.
All you can do is try.

I will look into it.

At least it's minor bugs at this point, no show stoppers.
 
I jumped back into recovery and mounted /system and filed up adb to try and find what is causing that. I ran a recursive grep that accidentally showed an error.
Code: 
~ # grep -r "m3s_security" /system
grep: /system/bin/sh: No such file or directory

So somewhere in the /system partition, it hit a link to /system/bin/sh, but that file doesnt exist. Im pretty sure /system/bin/sh is needed for both adb and su.
 
It works on sprint OE but it has VM apps and there is no way to access data roaming but other than that its awesome!

And you would be correct.
 
Can u please put a building in themer on the next one because I wanna use cyanbread as a theme:) and thanks for all your hard work in making this possible:) :) :)
 
Yup, it looks like that fixed some of my issues. Using adb while in recovery, i deleted the "/system/bin/sh" that harmania had by default. It was a symlink to something that I don't thing exists? Then I pushed the stock "sh" there, changed it to 0755, owner 0, group 2000. then rebooted by phone and now adb and root are working.
 
Out of curiosity, what (other) tweaks, if any, have been applied in Harmonia? I'm specifically referring to the build.prop, such as vm.heapsize at 64M as opposed to 32M, etc.?
 
For some reason I am getting an errors in CWM.
When I try and format system, it fails. It says E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system". Will that affect my flash-ability? Or how can I fix it?
