[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
[ROM][32B] ::HTC Sense:: RZR v1.2 and SuperLite Series ("The Essentials") [10/31]

O.K. folks, here's the details:

This ROM is a customized assortment of various builds that you can find in both the Dream development section; not to mention within the Sapphire section as well. I will issue credit where it's appropriate for each "source" of included material such as; visual alterations, applications, optimization, and kernels.

I've decided to use the "Evil Hero" series for the basis of my work. "eViL D:" has courteously provided our community with his hard work and dedication for the past several months. I'm merely an "apprentice" who has learned some "tricks of the trade". Now, having said that; the current build version [1.0] is considered to be "STABLE". THIS IS NOT A SPEED-BASED ROM! I have created this for ideal DAILY USAGE; nothing more.

I'd like to formally offer my thanks and show appreciation to the following people:

eViL D:, ccyrowski, JAC, eugene373, MLIGN, Stericson, Cyanogen, TwistedUmbrella, Amon_RA, and of course...last but not least, Drizzy.

WHAT'S SUGGESTED & REQUIRED TO UTILIZE THIS BUILD PROPERLY?

Here's my list of suggestions and/or requirements for this version to function properly on your device:

HTC Sapphire or T-Mobile MyTouch 3G. (32B)

1.33.2005 or 1.33.2009 SPL choices.

Class 6 microSDHC (The MB sizes are irrelevant)

Amon_RA's latest recovery image.

FAT32 / EXT2 or higher / Linux Swap partition (96MB +)

(Blah, blah, blah...I could go on for days in regards to this topic.)

Alright, so now that the "usual" statements have been made; here's what you can expect from the RZR series:

Magic "HTC Sense" build version - 3.03.751.4 series.

2.6.29.6 JAC-ski root@DesertLake-Labs #5 (BFS-230) for STABILITY.

LED notifications are 100% functional as well; including various colors.

Multilingual capabilities.

"Reignzone's PERSONAL" user.conf - (COMPCACHE IS DISABLED / LINUX-SWAP IS ENABLED BY DEFAULT!)

NO CPU FREQUENCY SAMPLING OR VIRTUAL MEMORY SUBSTITUTION BY DEFAULT! (USE THE OVERCLOCK WIDGET!)

ALL original "HTC" and MOTOBLUR wallpapers.

ALL original ringtones & notifications from T-Mobile and HTC.

MMS prioritizing available.

WHAT'S TO COME IN FUTURE RELEASES?

Here's what I'll be working on for v1.5:

MORE OPTIMIZATION!

HTC News & Horoscope widgets.

A2SD version! (pending requests...)

Twisted's black HTC Dialer.

Texture & transparent notification tray.

OPhone or Huawei Pulse notification bar.

BFS patches.

Upgraded kernels.

32A motherboard support.

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!

Here are the OVERCLOCK WIDGET user settings that are insisted on while using this ROM:

SCREEN ON FREQ = Minimum of 384MHz / Maximum of 528MHz

(For battery preservation) Enable the use of "different frequencies" while the screen is hibernating.

SCREEN OFF FREQ = Minimum of 245MHz / Maximum of 384MHz

ADVANCED SETTINGS: Adjust the "Update Interval" to either FIVE or TEN seconds for the most efficient results.

[DO NOT FORGET TO ENABLE THE "SUPPRESS NOTIFICATIONS" FEATURE!]

OPERATION SETTINGS: ENABLE the "Auto Start On Boot" function; immediately afterwards, select SAVE!

There is one minor bug I'm working on patching for the next release that involves the "last screen display" that momentarily appears after every reboot; RIGHT BEFORE the boot animation initializes!
