Why Should I Use RandomROM?
This rom is a personal hobby of mine to maintain the greatest battery life that I can. I've scoured the forums searching for the newest and greatest tweaks, mods, etc. to include, and then carefully tested them all for battery performance. I've also made additional changes, developments, and additions all my own. Contained within are many useful apps pre-installed as well as an effort to replicate my exact setup which has yielded me 0-1% battery loss per hour maximum when idle! All included apps have been RandomKing-Approved to conform with the best battery usage. I'm always on the lookout for more tweaks, possible thematic changes, etc. There should be no issues, but should I happen to find one, I may simply release a patch or a new version utilizing my new incremental update feature. Many of you have complained that others achieve much better battery life. The goal of RandomRom is to provide
MY setup that's provided me with great battery life without sacrificing performance. I also offer a superior installation experience with a vast array of features combined in ways unseen before! Further details are available on the download page.
STANDARD FEATURES INCLUDED:
CIQ Removed | Modified Sprint Hotspot | Silent/Vibrate Volume | Extended Power Menu Options
Voodoo Sound & Color | GPS Fix | Low Battery Camera&Video Player
1x Signal Mod | Battery Full Pop-Up Mod
Multi-Function Installation
This rom also includes my brand new installer-script that completely revitalizes the way you'll flash RandomROM. First and foremost, this rom is now MTD and BML compatible thanks to code from Senseisimple and Bbelos! This means that you can install ThunderHawk no matter what format you're on, it will detect your setup and install accordingly. It WILL NOT convert you to MTD or vice versa. I will provide a script that will reformat your phone from BML to MTD courtesy of Bbelos, but this is optional. Once again, it will run on either format, but will retain whatever your phone is formatted. Now here's the fun part, incremental installation! This means that if you're on the latest ThunderHawk revision and I upload an update you can quickly and safely flash the new rom over your setup! Rather than the lengthy and questionable backup-format-install-restore process of old, the rom will simply detect your version number as the most recent and patch only the changed files. Updates will now take seconds and your data won't even be touched. The best part is, it can still install over a different rom and attempt to preserve your data, and you can still perform a clean install at any time. That's three ways to install ThunderHawk on 2 different formats!
