Custom lockrings! <- New to the MT4GS ~ !

'Stock' Bulletproof lockring is now Green, however i've also made flashable-zip patches to switch to Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue and Purple, as well as back to the Bulletproof-stock Green...or also to a Bulletproof Grey and lastly back to Stock Sense if desired.

See the first post under 'Mods' for links.

--------

Default system theme:

Color scheme mostly set, including highlights, presses, text fields and so on.

Most stock icons hued to green to compliment the default theme.

Slowly removing T-Mo pink & Sense blue, giving Bulletproof it's own personality.

Default theme incomplete, but a lot is done.

Stock themes back in!

Changed the icon on the AOSP calculator from 1.0

--------

Custom colored menu icons! <- New to the MT4GS ~ !

Bored with that drab grey? Look no further as this ROM has started to blaze a trail into colored happiness. Greyscale is so ... last century.

Press your hardware menu button in different apps to see the new colors!

--------

Kidzone & Camcorder Icons hidden in Rosie app drawer!

First-boot home screens set up for default widgets and shortcuts.

Stock browser default now hides status bar after page loads. Press menu to get it back so you can get to the pulldown menu.

--------

OTA updates fully disabled.

System crash reports to HTC disabled - app in control was gone in 1.0

Documents:

GNU-GPL in txt form in /data/reference

Bugs:

Stock theme incomplete.

Big Weather widget doesn't display current temperature.

? Tell me if you find something.

Caution:

- Due to the level of customization and tweaking that has been done to Rosie.apk directly, using the Rosie.apk from this ROM in any other is strongly recommended against.

- Due to the dependence of the rest of Bulletproof on the changes made to Rosie.apk, using a Rosie.apk from another ROM in this one is also strongly recommended against.

- We are quickly moving past the point of being able to mix and match pieces of this ROM with any other in a drag-and-drop fashion.

--------

- Using an alternative launcher from the market should not be an issue, though Bulletproof is centered around using the Sense launcher ( Rosie.apk ).

- Going further and uninstalling Rosie.apk will certainly undo some of the customizations beyond Rosie.apk itself. If you choose to run a non-stock launcher, leave the Sense launcher installed for best results. Resources in Rosie.apk are called on by other aspects of the ROM.

RAM

Looking at 225 - 250 MB free RAM after fresh install and first reboot.

Fully one-third the total RAM on the system is free and waiting for you to use it on a fresh install.

Note: Friends don't let friends use task killers.
​

Backups:

It is highly recommended to start fresh on 1.1

The changes made to the ROM are quite plentiful, after really digging into the code I was able to see what all the changes I needed/wanted to make were.

This is a big change from 1.0, that was a test of pre-1.0 fixes and what I thought was our starting point, turns out this actually is after having gotten deeper in it.

IF someone wants to try to use a backup app to save their data,

I make no promises on the ROM running right thereafter

restoring backups from 1.0 to 1.1

Knowing people will try, despite my advice to the contrary, you can possibly minimize the damage by following these guidelines:

Using whatever backup app you think will work for you, you should be able to restore data to these apps if you want to re-install them with Bloater:

AppSharing.apk

desktopPointer-signed-v6.apk

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

htcmailwidgets3d.apk

LMIRescue.apk

LMIRescueSecurity.apk

Mail.apk

MediaRoom.apk

Mode10Wallpapers.apk

picasapryramid.apk

PolarisOffice.apk

TmobileAndroidDeviceCarbon-c42-n123.apk

TmoVVM.apk

Do not restore any backup data to any of the following apps I have changed:

Calculator

Calendar

HTCAlbum ( Sense gallery - media on the sdcard is okay. )

Browser Bookmark Widgets

Clock3dWidget

Contacts ( should re-sync through Google. )

FMRadio

Lockscreen settings.

Music

Soundrecorder ( Audio files on the sdcard are fine. )

Messaging ( Mms. )

Rosie ( Sense launcher. )

Settings ( custom settings preferences - system. )

Talk ( Google talk data. )

WidgetDownloadManager

Worldclock ( clock settings. )

...or anything dialer/phone.apk related.

--------

Also do not restore any backup data for apps that use com.htc.resources.apk or framework-res.apk framework files for resources, or you will be glitchy.

Any apps not listed should be fine to restore backup data from. Because of the scope of this update, I can't promise that is true though.

The problems come in when you restore data to an app I changed, if I didn't mess with it backups shouldn't be an issue.

Also read Post 254 where I quoted two people who have some helpful information for the brave souls who want to defy my recommendation and try anyway.

If their words have helped you, please click the little arrow next to their name at the top of the quote and thank their post.

Starting here and moving forward, you should be able to use the backup app of your choice without issues, starting from fresh backups made from this 1.1 install.

As always, make a nandroid backup and move it off the phone to another storage location before flashing anything.

With one you can always go back, without one you are stuck where you are.​

Hope you all enjoy 1.1 ~!

Install Instructions

Make sure you are using Official Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7

Make a nandroid backup. Losing 10 minutes of your life is easier to cope with than losing a phone ;)

Download, copy to SD card.

Reboot into recovery.

Install ROM from zip.

Reboot, wait 10 minutes (NOT a suggestion).

Perform on-screen setup.

Enjoy!

Install Notes:

1 - I have handled all cleanup of any prior ROM install, simply flash and go over any prior ROM install with no extra steps necessary for a clean install every time.

2 - You must wait 10 minutes after first install for the ROM to finish installing itself in the background once it fully boots. Android is built to serve you, the user, ahead of itself. If you tell it to do something, it will break itself trying to serve you. Allow it to finish installing itself, even though you can't see it working. If you choose not to you will have a buggy install.

3 - Install will take some time, your phone did not freeze. First boot will also take longer, please have patience.

4 - Please review my Backup Guide to learn about making backups.

5 - After completing on-screen setup of your device, I recommend giving it another few minutes to settle and then rebooting into recovery to make a nandroid backup of your new, fresh Bulletproof installation.

6 - Market Problems:

**If you get the "insiffucient space" error when trying to download an app, reboot to recovery and wipe cache through Clockworkmod. Should get you all squared away.
