[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
The purpose of this ROM was to make the fastest, smoothest and best battery life ROM out there. With the newest TMO radio, which was packed with this ROM, i get 2 full days battery life. (im in california, individual results may vary on location.)

I am also minimalist and hate anything unnecessary on my cell. I needed a way to "clean" install the newest OTA and pick and choose the apps that i really need. soooo.....

I stripped pretty much everything out of it for speed and efficiency. I get 250+ mb free ram on boot.
