[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Pympster's ROM V0.2 - 19 May

​

There are three builds:

See screenshots below.

Hybrid

With sense & Launcher, You decide the default when clicking home :) (See screenshots below)

Titanium

No Sense (stock android launcher) but keep the added functionality of the HTC apps and apps listed below

Lite BETA

See below for further info

Almost all HTC & third party apps (including sense) removed and replaced with stock android apps :)

1. Copy the ZIP to the root of your SD Card and then Turn off/unplug your device

2. Turn it on again while holding down the 'volume down' button this time. The screen will look similar to before, but will say 'HBOOT' instead of 'FASTBOOT'.

3. Use the volume buttons and the power button to select the 'RECOVERY' option. You should then see a screen with a red triangle - at this point, plug it into your Linux or OSX computer.

4. From 'push files' zip that you downloaded you'll see a file called 'recovery-linux.sh' or 'recovery-mac.sh'. Run the one appropriate to your operating system and the screen of your device should change to display the green recovery image menu.

5. In the recovery image (moving around using the optical trackball), select 'Wipe -> Wipe data /factory reset'.

6. Then 'Flash zip from sdcard' and choose the "Pympsters_ROM_0-1". Confirm with the trackball and the update process will begin.

When the flash has finished, reboot, and you are DONE, WHOOHOO!

Lite BETA?

Ok this has proved much more difficult to make this than I originally intended! I have yet to find a fix to a FC error on the MMS app. This is very much a BETA release, there will be the occasional FC error. Contact sync with google can often cause an error. Please post the details and any screenshots so I can try and squash these bugs :D

Oh and in reality its probably more of an ALPHA release. I recommend making a Nand backup before hand, in case you want to flash back quickly :)

Thanks!

I personally haven't ever needed it. If you do want to add it then you can flash the zip to it. nachtschicht discovered how to make it operate correctly:

Do so at your own risk!

Bugs

Hybrid - When you press home for the first time it should ask if you wish to use launcher or sense. If this is not the case then do: settings>Applications>Manage applications>HTC Sense>Clear defaults
