Liquid Gingerbread 3.2

AOSP (nuff said)

Very fast.

Came with LauncherPro (which is a very underrated launcher)

If you're not a fan of LauncherPro, this Rom gives you the ability to easily swap it out with GoLauncher, ADW and even the ICS Launcher.

More customizable than any Rom I've used on any phone.

Love the ICS blue themed stuff throughout this Rom.

Less buggy than the other Roms I've tried.

Will be my daily driver henceforth.

I saw this thread and had to chime in. I've been using Liquid Nonsense for the past couple days and I have to say that this rom is shaping up to be the best rom that's ever been on my phone.

For me, it has the perfect sense aspects w/ aosp feel to it.

Benchmarks on this rom are the fastest I've seen on my phone. No overclocking here.

my .02

i'm pretty new to the tbolt (2+ weeks) but i've been trying out a new rom almost every day. of the sense roms i really liked liquid smooth gingersense and stock debloated/rooted/etc. to my surprise htc has really done well with sense and i feel like it has plenty to offer in stock trim.

for de-sensed/AOSP i have REALLY liked thundershed 1.3 except that it uses go launcher which is painfully slow right after reboots. this is still the first one i've stuck with for more than two days.

cyanogenmod is, well, cyanogenmod... clean, fast, simple. i see it as the blank canvas of roms. i've read of people having issues but i didn't have any in the two days i used it.

I've been running urban nonsense with pretty good luck. Ran into a few mms issues but other than that, I get great battery life and the rom seems to have no lag.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_B204:
Well...I once had a HTC HD (a Windows 6.5 device - great hardware, shockingly bad OS) and installed dual boot on that - Windows 6.5 and Android - there was a splash screen upon boot up where you chose what you wanted to do plus the Android OS was booted from the SD card (and so internal memory wasn't an issue).

It worked flawlessly - I won't take any credit for it as I simply followed instructions on the HTC HD part of the XDA website.

So I would say that yes it is possible but I would argue that there isn't a demand for it - after all what would it achieve?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Animefan:
The very first page of ACA thread says

"-Starting with 080111 and later, users can edit /sdcard/android/startup.txt prior to booting to adjust LCD_DENSITY, GPS_ZONE, and DATA_SIZE (data.img)

(ie: the default lcd_density of ACA is 167. Edit the lcd_density= value to 240 to get standard sized icons and fonts)"

The part you're looking for is to change the value to 240.

I do agree, its a plague to look through that thread and search ain't no help if you don't search right :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jerome.Ramos:
RE: Wrong Section

Hi...please put this in the questions and answers section...iron fist will be on you :mad: ...here are some solutions I found by simply using the search:

You can increase the density (sort of like changing monitor resolution) on your screen by simply changing the build.prop file. This gives you more viewing area on your screen. The build.prop file contains many user variables that are editable and one of them is the LCD Density. The lower the number, the higher the resolution. The default value is 240, but by simply changing it to 200, you can increase the resolution and see more emails in your email app, more app listings in the market, more room for widget alignment, crisper graphics, and much more!

PERMANENT ROOT SOLUTION:

now that we can do perm root, you can permanently change this by modifying your build.prop file located /system/build.prop. look for ro.sf.lcd_density and modify the number and save and reboot.

Recommended value is 200, though many users like 190. If you are unsure what you like, please try TEST MODE shown below!

Please be sure to download Spare Parts from the Market, and disable Compatibility Mode in the app. This will fix many, many apps from not displaying full-screen, however there are some apps that will not re-size.

This works really well if you pair it with something like Launcher Pro or ADW.Launcher, where you have control over rows/columns and resizing widgets.

Easiest Method -- Go to Market and download one of the LCD Density apps. Search "LCD Density."

Phone-Only Method:

You can use Root Explorer, or any text editor like notepad++ or text edit.

1. Open a File Manager and locate /system/build.prop

2. Make sure "/system" is mounted as R/W (in Root Explorer, click the Mount R/W button at the top.)

2A. MAKE A BACKUP!

3. Open and Edit the file.

4. Find ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and change it to desired value (recommend 200 or 190 for G2).

5. Save the file.

6. Exit and Reboot!

If you use a separate text editor, just copy the file to your SDCard, edit it there, and move it back and overwrite the original. I recommend backing up the original just-in-case.

ADB Method:

at the cmd prompt:

1. adb pull /system/build.prop

2. Go to SDK / Tools folder and open build.prop in a text editor (recommend WORDPAD for Windows).

3. Find ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and change it to desired value (recommend 200 or 190 for G2).

4. Save & Exit

5. go back to cmd prompt and type: adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

6. type: adb push build.prop /system/

7. exit and reboot phone!

hope this helps you out:mad:
