[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmontuori:
Introducing MROM-Vivow. Custom ROM for the HTCI2

This is my attempt to build a stable, complete, and fully functional custom ROM for the HTC Incredible 2 completely built from source code; HTCI2-MROM is built on top of Cyanogen ROM latest source code. I recompiled all components to guarantee maximum efficiency and performance. Along the way, I realized that I needed things to work different for the HTCI2, so I also made some changes. If you like my work, consider a donation to my cause.

HTCI2-MROM is entirely build from source. You will see the difference when you run it. Just to list a few features:

Optimum battery life, better than any other ROM I have tested

Quick, responsive

Contains all the most common HTCI2 tweaks

MIUI Camera for a better picture experience

QuickPic gallery application

Rotating Lights

While I tried to maintain the main core small, size is not the main focus.
