[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Told you guys I would be back ;) This is just the beginning for me!

So I've made an optimized build of Sense 3.6 for you guys, and since I'm also a major space nerd, I've decided this ROM will be named after various interstellar objects for the different builds, along with facts about the chosen interstellar object.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the scene in Star Wars with two setting suns. This will be a reality for us on Earth anytime within the next one million years, thanks to the star Betelgeuse. It's a Red Supergiant star located approximately 642.5 light years away from the Solar System, and it's due to go Supernova within the next million years. It could happen in our lifetime, or not. But when it does happen, the explosion will be so violent and powerful it will look like a second sun has appeared in the sky for a period of approximately two weeks. It may or may not outshine our Sun but it will be exceptionally bright. This would be a monumental moment of history to observe! Nights on Earth would be just as bright as the daytime thanks to the exploding star. Even though the explosion will light up the night, 99% of the energy exposed to us and the Earth is released in neutrinos that will pass through our bodies and through the Earth with absolutely no harm done whatsoever. This star is so big, if it were at the center of our solar system, it would engulf all of the inner planets, along with the Asteroid belt.

So you want to know what's so good about this particular ROM when there's already ARHD and We Want Ics? Well here you go-

Where's this ROM going in the future? There won't be much updates after this, except for updating to a new base RUU or for bug fixes/new features. I'm going to be focusing on my upcoming CM9 here pretty soon. Sometime in the future, I may also be porting Blackout tweaks to this ROM, so you would have a choice between blackout or leedroid tweaks.

If there are any themer's out there that would like to give me a hand I would really appreciate it. I wanted to theme Sense to have more black and red highlights.. not overpowering but enough to make it feel "darker". I tried theme-ing Sense myself, and my efforts looked about equal to a Grade 2's paint project. :highfive: My mind operates on a logical basis, not a creative basis so I prefer sticking to coding and not touching image files..

Installation instructions - Blackrose HBOOT 2.02 recommended. NOTE - Support for Revolutionary HBOOT has been added.

NOTE- If your coming from a previous version of my ROM, you should be able to flash this over top and retain your data.

- Reboot into recovery

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Wipe all partitions (Excluding SD card)

- Flash "V2.0-The_Second_Sun.zip"

- Reboot and enjoy! (Be patient, first boot will take a while)

Installation instructions for Blackrose PG32IMG.zip

- Place on root of your sdcard

- Reboot into bootloader and it should be found automatically

- Apply the update

Installation instructions for XS-ICS 2.2

- Flash the ROM

- Reboot and let the ROM settle for a few minutes

- Reboot into recovery and flash kernel

Using those steps, you should avoid the wifi error. If not just push bcm4329.ko(found in kernel package) into /system/lib/modules.

I recommend using the following frequencies if your using a kernel that supports OC -

1.402GHz Max

368MHz Min

SmartAssV2 governor

noop scheduler

I get amazing battery life even though my settings are very performance biased.

V2.5 is live! :highfive: Mods are still compatible with the new version, and I would recommend a full wipe before installation, but you don't have to if you want to keep your data. If you find a bug, make sure to let me know whether you wiped with installation or not, as the new base may cause problems without a wipe.
