[Thunderbolt Android Development] sk806:
Lotus v1.0 (4/9/2011)

Introducing Lotus ROM. Anyone who has used my ROMs for the Incredible knows that my focus is on full featured, stable, smooth and (I hope) visually appealing ROMs that can be your every day driver. It is my sincere hope that this ROM will make your Thunderbolt more convenient and fun to use. Please note that this is just an initial release. I plan to optimize and re-engineer all of the apks in the ROM and add many more speed/graphics/feature tweaks. If you want this to be faster now, may I recommend flashing Ziggy's beta T-bolt kernel? The thing flies on this ROM ;).

Features

Based on Adrynalyn's Basic Debloated (build 1.12.605.9) , fully de-odexed, rooted and zipaligned;

Adrynalyn's 2.0 Sense kernel cooked in for battery life, but feel free to flash whatever kernel you want (obviously :));

Matte Sense UI; "shiny" elements from the UI have been matted for a smoother, more refined appearance;

App drawer button moved to center and mapped to modded/themed version of Maxim's AppFolders, which allows users to fully customize their app drawer;

Right button mapped to browser (more maps to come);

Power widgets in notification pulldown, themed to fit with look of ROM, plus JSChiSurf's PowerControlSettings app;

Hidden location & ADB icons, percentage battery meter, Smooth Sense (animated) icons and working 6-bar signal indicator in statusbar;

3-in-1 power menu, with reboot, hot restart, etc;

Rmk's patched superuser;

Other UI mods, including dialer, custom skinned Friendstream, News and Twitter widgets, transparent background for lock screen, Roise launcher bar, clock, settings & profile widgets & more;

Zipalign and SD Card speed fix on boot;

Apps generally considered bloatware removed;

Working Hulu add-on;

Ability to uninstall many apps (including the HTC skins) via app manager, and many more (e.g. Friendstream, Twitter, etc.) via Gscripts that are pushed to your Sd Card during flash;

Much more...

Known Issues

4g toggle in power widgets not working (yet).

Skins are NOT compatible with this ROM yet (the buttons are messed up). Will be fixed for version 1.1.

Icons can switch around when adding shortcut to home via AppFolders (hot restart fixes this),

see post #62 for stock app drawer version of Rosie that does not do this and post #64 for an AppFolders version that will not do this.

Contact info on in-call screen off center. Patch in post #63.

Probably haven't matted EVERY element of the UI yet...

BACKUP!!

Perform a full wipe (data, cache); PLEASE NOTE that the updater script will also wipe parts of data for this initial release. I repeat, flashing this will wipe data! Subsequent versions will not, although it is strongly recommended that you do so on your own.

Flash the ROM;

Let things load up and ENJOY!!
