One of the major changes is allowing Facebook sync. Other than that, it's mainly removing some more useless applications and restoring functions, so that you're able to re-flash anything that you guys want that was originally there that I deleted to save time and space. It's basically like I'm giving you guys a blank / clean slate android rom, and uploading all the widgets and apps for you guys to download to your liking.

At least, that's what the plan is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] x1208x:
WOW google sync does not have an option for syncing contacts. wtf is up with that?!

Even when i restore my contacts, new numbers won't auto back up to gmail account.

No calender sync either. wow starting to actually get fustrated. I understand taking out all the bloat ware and the widgets, but whats up with removing these basic things?

but you left in backup assistant for some reason and you left 3G Mobile hot spot?

Edit: And sadly Titanium back up wont' restore my contacts. Fail miserably.

You should put a warning that people won't be able to sync their **** so people won't get upset like me and waste all this time putting my data back on.

This rom basically turned my phone into an android itouch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Don't see how any more blunt he can be:

"Obviously it's not perfect since this is (1) my first rom and (2) my first release."

File it as a bug and move on. If you got upset over testing a fresh release of a new rom then that's your problem for not exercising common sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Empedox:
Cry more? We try these ROMs and offer constructive criticism so the developers can improve their products. There's no need for *****in' and moaning.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Or how about for not reading a whoping 5 pages of thread where that had been stated as a problem on like page 2!

Keep up the good work Nick. . I did not flash this YET but watching and waiting in anticipation!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] x1208x:
He did NOT state CONTACT SYNC was removed from the rom.

You don't think that's important to put in the OP? If not then you're just plain dumb yourself for trying to flame me.

Because then this ROM would be useless to pretty much everyone.

And why would anyone remove it anyway?

And sometimes, new Dev's need to hear it straight up. You gonna tell him he made a nice rom when he didn't? And everything I stated was very constructive. Your comment is probably least constructive out of everything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KGBxxx:
Chillax princess. It's not like you paid for it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Lol dude, I export and import all my contacts via vCards in the people app. Sorry that happened, but I didn't know and I did say it was a 1.0 release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Ok, enough about the ragfest. I figured I'd post some of the files that I tend to remove from /system/apps and see if anyone has any insight on whether it's fine to remove them or a major no-no (haven't run into any problems yet).

Backup Assistant (VzWBAClient.apk)

com.android.debugtool (DebugTool.apk)

com.android.qxdmlog (QxdmLog.apk)

com.htc.dcs.service.stock 1.00 (DCSStock.apk)

com.htc.socialnetwork.provider 1.0 (SocialNetworkProvider.apk)

com.vzw.location 2.2 (VzwLBSPerm.apk)

CopyRight 2.1 (HtcCopyright.apk)

Customization Setup 1.0 (CustomizationSetup.apk)

DCS Service 1.0 (DCSImpl.apk)

DCS Utility Component 1.00 (DCSUtility.apk)

DRM Protected Content Storage 2.2 (DrmProvider.apk)

DRM Protected Content Storage 2.2 (LbsProvider.apk)

Field Test 2.1-update1 (FieldTest.apk)

Field Trial 2.2 (FieldTrial.apk)

HTC Widget Download Manager 1.0 (WidgetDownloadManager.apk)

HTML Viewer 2.2 (HTMLViewer.apk)

Sync Service 1.5.6 (VzWBAService.apk)

Sync Widget 2.2 (HtcSyncwidget.apk)

VZW Package Installer 1.0 (VZWInstaller.apk)

All of these have been removed post-install obviously, so they might provide problems if removed from the Rom itself.

E:There's a few more (like Setup 1.00 or Setup Wizard 1.3), but obviously those would be necessary for Rom installation.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Can't wait for the update! Will definitely flash it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] x1208x:
Ok just a fair warning to you, if you do it that way, then you use google sync, it will duplicate all your contacts.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kmcrane:
I have never gotten double contacts, and always back up using people import / export. I ran into a snag a few roms ago. But I never blame the op, i just learn from it and now i make more complete back ups. I totally feel the lost contacts.. i lost 3 people's numbers because i didn't back them up right :-(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mp3sum:
So what happened to a new release last night ;)

This is sweet, much thanks for the continued effort.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
Loving this rom! Battery life is great. Really want the fb sync though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
AY ;)

Yeah, my girlfriend came over and..

So facebook sync is working right now. Just trimming some stuff, and I'll be uploading it. Wanted to make sure everything worked before people tried to rape me because it didn't have something they wanted in it, when they have to realize that it's a stripped rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
It is finished. Changelog on the OP
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johantheolive:
I'd tried this ROM yesterday or the day before and the lack of contacts/people and calendar made it useless to me. The new version adds back calendar but how about people/contacts? That's the only thing keeping me away. Thanks for this great little rom without all the crap.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
Can I flash this or do we have to wipe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Yeah, all of the syncing is back. I have over 5k friends on Facebook, so I felt like syncing that wasn't necessary, however what I think isn't what everyone else does, so it is back in there, with calendar sync and Google contacts sync as well. Still runs fast, i want to get some patches up soon though (later this weekend maybe). I'm currently in college, moving, and such. Right now, I'm going to move stuff into my new house and go see enter shikari at a local club ;D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Full wipe! (Data/cache)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Could you up the link to mediafire? I find it to be the fastest. Mediaupload is running slow as **** for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
I would, but I'm currently moving things that my mom just bought for out new house.:// sorry I didn't upload it elsewhere, just wanted to get it up (thats what she said)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CLeDInc:
I really like the lightness and quickness of your rom it's really nice but i was wondering if you could get rid of the verizon popup when the phone is connected via usb to the computer.

thanks

this is an amazing rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
Having trouble with fb sync. The sync icon pops up in my status bar but it just stays there and doesn't finish.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kmcrane:
I thought i would try the new feather (disregard my signature)... & Same here, i noticed after 10 minutes my notification bar said it was still trying to sync. I have tracked it to Customisation Setup. I found that under application / manage applications/ running. If i

Force stop "customisation setup" it will stop syncing for a while then start again. It is a never ending process.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Go to people, and hit menu, then view, and make sure Facebook for sense is checked. If it isn't an option, go to people, then click to your online directories (the globe icon), click Facebook and then hit menu and refresh. It'll start to load them to your directory, then go to settings, accounts and sync, then click "cancel sync" if you see it, if not don't worry. Click Facebook, uncheck / recheck sync contacts, then click sync now. You should see the little spinner next to sync contacts. Give it a few, it'll start syncing. Then go to people, and hit menu , view, and make sure Facebook for sense is checked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kmcrane:
I am not having problems syncing facebook, but having problems with a never ending sync. I go to accounts sync and nothing is showing the little circle... but i have to click cancel sync to stop the syncing in the notification bar.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
That fixed it. Thanks! One more problem... I can't receive picture messages. I keep getting a generic network failure notification.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
I'll look into it when I get home, anyone elae with this issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kmcrane:
Yep not receiving picture messages too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Has anybody tried using Chomp or Handcent to recieve a MMS?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
I use handcent and it's not working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Xxq TZ pxX:
I want to try this ROM, but Megaupload won't let me download it. I've tried 3 times from 2 different computers, and every time it gets about 25% done and just stops :( Now I can't download it at all because it says bandwidth limit exceeded.

Can you use mediafire or another sharing site please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Just worked fine for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] piihb:
got it... doing a nandroid, and gonna test it out. Wooooooooo!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
Why not just download it from your phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The_Tech_Ninja:
I lost my google talk... can somebody post the apk please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
I have them all uploaded, I'm just getting ready to post the links now. Give it a few minutes, I'll post here when it's done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Posted the link for Google Voice /Talk, as well as the list of Verizon Applications and Widgets. More to come, I'm currently putting together a package of the HTC Applications that were removed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
What do I have to delete to get rid of the sense launcher so I can use launcherpro?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
You can actually just run LauncherPro over sense, I don't think there's a way to delete sense's launcher to switch it with launcher pro. I'll check the framework.

Edit:

Try running the program listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769525

Removes sense so you can use your launcher pro by default.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The_Tech_Ninja:
I still do not see talk.. All I see is voice...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
You can delete Rosie.apk in /system/apps

Sent from my ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Named it wronggg. But it's gTalk that's uploaded, says so in the description on megauload i believe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The_Tech_Ninja:
Awesome... thanks man...

It was my fault for not having it in the first place!

I love the ROM.. nice work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
No problem, glad you like it. I love my battery life <3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Yeah, I read throught that script that I added to the OP, only thing that is left in this rom that's sense-related would be rosie, and that's the only thing that the script deleted that wasn't already missing :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Loving the update. I have a suggestion though.

I'd remove /system/etc/CDROM.ISO and add HTC_IME back.

E: NM, must have been a bad flash. I reflashed it and the keyboard is back.

E2: seems like you can remove /system/etc/clockwidget/ too since the clock is removed
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
What app manager are you saying to use to reinstall the widgets? Nothing I downloaded from the market was able to do so...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
don't remove it, that causes a bug, i forget what exactly. You have to go in through ##776# (??? i forget the actual number) and disable it through there
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
I've never had any problems after removing it. I remove it mainly because it's a pet peeve of mine to have a file taking up space for no reason.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Where can I find the reboot mod so that I can boot into recovery and the bootloader straight from the screen that pops up when you hold the power button?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
i remember a post, i believe by rmk, that it had something to do with it auto mounting when connecting to a computer. I don't remember the exact details though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:

Have you tried Root Explorer?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Which one do I download? My build number doesn't match any of those and it's for the Desire.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
No i personally don't feel i should have to purchase a program just to install something on a phone. This is not a knock to the developer at all, but it seems the norm is making .zips that flash in recovery. I hope the same is done upon the release of 2.0 because this rom is awesome.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
there's an incredible build later in the thread
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Then push it through ADB.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
Any fix for receiving pictures yet?

My phone is just syncing... Not sure what data its syncing, but my contacts, facebook, Gmail is all up to date and they have no synced in about 20 mins, however my synch icon is spinning like crazy. I rebooted, and i turned off sync and turned it back on. any ideas?

how would i get backup assist to work? it says it isn't compatible with my phone...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
To help summarize up this thread so you guys don't think I've abandoned you (just have a lot going on with college and the move, plus I own two companies that I have to maintain ----_____----)

The link to download for the droid incredible (apparently according to the thread) for those who are interested in the 3-in-1 reboot mod (boots into recovery, ect) is here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ktsoxz

I'm currently using the one listed as 2-1.14.207 on the original post in the thread. Have no issues so far, first boot up was a bit slow, but after that, things seem fast, if not faster, than how they originally were.

For those who are concerned about the MMS issue, I am still looking into it. I'm not quite sure what the root of the problem could be, since I haven't edited anything that involves MMS. I noticed that when I'm going to send a extra-long mms message that it says "converting to mms" as it usually does, but, when i backspace, it goes back to saying "converting to sms", which it normally does. After that, though, it loops back and forth between the few for a good 20 seconds saying sms, mms, sms, mms, then finally it says sms, and stops. Odd, I know. I'll figure it out though. However I don't believe it's that big of a issue, and hopefully one I'll be able to (easily) fix.

The sync issue, I am currently toying with. I have a few hunches, but I don't believe it to be the customization settings apk that a user pointed out earlier. I am looking into it and trying to figure these out. Keep in mind that it is still my first rom, and I'm learning as I'm doing it. Hopefully you guys are enjoying the rom as-is, as I know I certainly am (overclocking at 1.15ghz and my battery is to die for <3 ).

To optimize your performance, I highly suggest installing launcherpro if you are getting tired of sense, then running the delete sense script I have on the main page (next to my current specs under the introduction). This brings idling up to about 225-230, versus 300-315. Small change, but it's something.

Thank you guys for being active in this thread, I really appreciate that there are people who are willing to, not only test, but use this rom, AND give me feedback on how to make it more efficient. I'm currently learning how to use the update scripts, still hitting a few snags (was making one to delete the CDROM.ISO as a user suggested, but hit some syntax error when installing I DID IT :D, I'll be posting a few patches later on :]. Also @that user, the HTC apk that you were suggesting I place back in, IS included in the rom).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stoney 666:

hey nick, hope you dont mind that i made a splash for your rom....

View attachment 421773

couldn't resist... as soon as i heard the name of your rom, this image popped in my head!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
By all means, please feel free to do so! That goes for anyone else who's contemplating designing for the rom.

Thank you Stoney for the splash screen :]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Fixed the syncing issue. I want to get down the MMS problem before I release a new update, but, if I can't figure it out by today, I'll release a 1.7 update that shouldn't need a wipe, will load faster, and have some other minor tweaks besides having the sync problem fixed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
Keep up the good work. I'm loving my battery life with this rom!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Waiting on release 1.7

Can't wait to try it out! Please upload to mediafire this time, I still can't download 1.5 from MegaUpload.

Amazing battery life!!

+1 I've never had such great battery life before - no matter what ROM I've tried!! :D I'm using the HTC 2150 mAh extended battery and I'm still running strong after 27+ hours!!

Can't wait for the next update to address the sync issue. (The arrows are driving me crazy!) FYI: I've been cancelling the sync when I see the arrows turning for a while. I wonder if my battery life will improve once this issue is resolved.

Keep up the great work Nick! Big kudos for your first ROM. You do realize that the bar is set high for your 2nd, right?!? LOL ;)

Which of the 3 in 1 zip's for the power button do i use for 2.15.00.07.28? for incredible?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeProcopio:
the only widget I can get back onto the phone is the Genie widget, the other ones I want, music widget, weather widget, clock widget and mail widget do not re-install.

they must need helper apps, anyone know what i'm missing?

other wise, this is a nice fast rom while I wait for the HD port to be complete
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Installed google search but the search button on the bottom right doesn't work. Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Alarm clock is removed, I only noticed when I went to use it last night. I ended up downloading a better alarm application off the market though. I want to make this rom as fast as possible, and if there's an app that works the same (if not better) on the market that not everyone needs, then i suggest getting it from there.

Issemann, Haha I know the bar is set.. but if what I am aiming for with 2.0 happens.. then I don't believe any Rom maker will be able to top it. I plan on making feather on other devices as well, hopefully it'll catch on like cyannogen has.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tkollman88:
Using better alarm clock from the market. Works pretty good.

Nick,

could you elaborate on the speed up tweaks?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
There's a few processes that run in the background that I ended, I'm also going to upload a patch that kills bluetooth (obviously optional), as bluetooth always runs a bluetooth service, as well as various applications that are ran at start up, and cannot be closed while running the operating system. Few other patches and tweaks, i'm still just learning how to use update-scripts, but i'm managing haha. Also, I removed some unnecessary files that the rom loads at start up, but don't actually .. do anything.

Example, there's code that is merely a sample of what you could do with the variables / strings (it's actually called sample in the customize folder).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] normg:
Search Rule the Air under Apps and themes. Then apply custom font to your liking.. again Apps and Theme
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johantheolive:
Like some others my search 'key' doesnt launch google search. I tried the link provided but it doesn't really apply nor did it do much since the files are included or w/e. Anyone have a solution to this? Love the ROM otherwise.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Did you read the thread?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johantheolive:
Aha. Looked back at it and realized this piece I had overlooked...

Thanks:) Is their a good way to remove the Voicemail icon from the app drawer? I have it hidden through launcherpro. On another note, is the boot animation supposed to be the stock android name? It's kind've ugly imo. I'm going to see if I can replace it with the stock 2.2 animation.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
The voicemail icon is actually tied in with the MMS app, you need to replace /system/app/MMS.apk with the Evo version since that doesn't have it for some reason. In regards to the boot animation, I'm getting the stock android as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
You can through adb shell or through update-script. I only have the stock android boot animation because it boots faster. There's nearly 50 frames+ that the rom has to load up before even getting to the homescreen. The stock android one is just one that loops until it finishes loading.
