Basic Installtion Instructions

Download ROM and extract to desktopp (Now includes RUU). Start the ROM Upgrade Utility and follow instructions Flashes just like ANY other phone or ROM. Flashing will destroy ALL data on phone. Always sync with ActiveSync before starting the upgrade utility OR place your phone in bootloader mode (Power, VolDown, and reset)

A call to *228 or *22899 (automated activation line) WILL BE REQUIRED for normal usage! This is true of ALL ROM's and even a simple hard reset of the Verizon stock ROM.

Before you flash you MUST be unlocked. I do not support the unlock process or the software but I can tell if you that if you follow the instructions at the link it works perfect.

Bugs so far:

Wiped Clean on new revision

**Here is where you will see gains with this ROM over stock...

1. Navigating through menu's, especially the settings menu.

2. Smoothness of TF3D (debateable depending on the tabs.) First time will be slow for EVERY device if you leave ALL the tabs enabled. Each tab is a like a sep app that has to load when you select it. After the tabs are loaded you will see even more gains over the stock ROM.

3. File explorer. Go to the Windows folder. No further explanation needed there, trust me. The stock file explorer took nearly 15 seconds to load Windows. This does it almost instantly.

Updated Kitchen Files!

This is for the eRICE KITCHEN. This is not my own Kitchen but an add on of VZW OEM files to the eRice kitchen.

Its the OEM pack that I used to create this ROM. Its what I stripped out of the VZW leaked ROM. I added just a couple OEMs that are not in the cooked ROM. I dont have the original OEM's broken out! IF anyone wants to break it down further like eRice did with his original kitchen let me know and I will host it on my site.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR KITCHEN SET UP:

Download and extract (to desktop) eRice 1.03.07 kitchen from here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42796

Delete the entire OEM folder from inside the kitchen!

Download and extract the VZW OEM folder from www.scottcrosler.com and place it in the eRice kitchen as to replace the one you just delted. I made one minor change to the pure VZW OEM folders.I dropped the phonecanvas XML provisioning file into OEM apps. i think it supposed to be in SYS but I dont know.... It works fine the way it is. If you have never heard of the file then ignore this part of the post.

Start RaphealKitchen.CMD and follow instructions.

***Do not select DotNET 3.5 in the kitchen!!!. It is enabled by default, delelect it. Will cause issues.

I will try to support the kitchen as much as possible. Please do not bother eRice with this hybrid kitchen as I am sure he will not support my hybrid creation.

Thank eRice for this kitchen.

Thank the original poster of this thread for the leaked ROM I worked with:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741. Not sure who posted it.

Thank me for putting it together!

I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES. I do however take credit for converting to VZW OEM.
