[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
This rom is not longer supported. See my new thread if you are interested in the mod

Why another ROM?

- No special reason. I was sticking to MDJ's v1.4 CM7 build but it was stuck for more than a month. So I took the latest CM7 nighty stable enough for me, added my default extras and share it for you.

- CM7 nighties are missing some very popular features, like Lord Clockan's kernel by default, Miui Camera, gapps with camera support, etc. Consider this ROM a little time saver for you.

- This is my first ROM, and I wanted to learn in the process of making one.

I'm happy with CM7, and I can flash the extras myself, should I try your ROM?

At this moment this ROM provides only a standard CM7 nightly with some extras preinstalled and some tweaks at boot. If you are happy with your CM7 and flashing the kernel yourself, then stick with it! This ROM is only a timesaver for those installing for the first time.

You can also get some other night build or CM variant, and apply alternative AlienMod over it to get almost all the tweaks

RIL: Default for newest CM7 (2.2.018G, Mar 24 2011)

I do not recommend to change RIL. Yes, I know G-RILs aren't listed on official radio thread, but HM aren't supposed to AOSP ROMs... Believe this is what you need.

Recommended radio: None! CM7 team recommends 26.04.02.17 but I'm using 26.09.04.11 with great results. So test yourself.

Battery draining: None! at least with the default apps. 3-4 ma on standby

Thanks to:

- CM7 team

- Lord Clockan

- Paradoxx for black keyboard

- All the authors of the included apk's

- eyesonlybob (for the boot animation)

- LadyOfHats for the emoticons

- H.R.Giger

- Testers!!!

- Donators

- ... lots of people from xda-developers

Instructions:

- Nandroid backup!!!

- Coming from other ROM / CM flavor? Full Wipe using ext4 (recommended, use Full Wipe v1.5 Ext4) or at least format /system + /cache + clean dalvik cache with an ext4 capable recovery.

- Coming from v1.x ? No need to full wipe.

- Flash with ClockworkMod (better with v3.0.2.8 ext4).

- Wait until "Done!"

- Use Advanced -> FIX PERMISSIONS Just in case...

- Reboot!

- Mandatory: Go to settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings -> Max CPU frequency and tune your maximum value

Further steps / recommended extras (work in progress):

- Change number of rows from 4 -> 6 on ADW Settings.

- Boot sounds, backgrounds, AM Splash, etc on AM Public Folder

- If the already included killersloth's PUV script doesn't work for you, grab some other UV script from lordmodue's thread

- If you are in a country where navigation doesn't work within the included Google Maps v5.7.0, you can flash this addon with a "hacked" version of v5.6.0 (not tested).

- Problems getting a GPS fix? Try AngelDeath's instant fix
