Welcome to the EnergyROM thread !



This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Hermann (CDMA Touch Pro) device.

This works on all CDMA Touch Pro devices, such as the Sprint, Verizon, USC, etc versions.


The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs every few days, as new builds come down the pipe.

I also build my ROMs with four main goals.

• Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
• Speed !!!
• Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
• Stability through private beta testing before public release

I pre-configure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.

I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization). Backing up with SPB Backup or similar products, is NOT recommended, as they tend to backup the previous release's registry/file bugs as well!



Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.

• The 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner! I recommend you start with this first!

• The 29022 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.3 series with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys. These builds reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. These are also much more finger friendly throughout.

You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.

It's definitely the fastest way to get in touch with me and please don't be afraid to tweet me if you see major issues with the ROMs.
I generally do not answer "support" questions on Twitter, as it's really not the proper medium for that. Service packs and quick fixes will always be released
as links in my tweets and that's definitely the fastest way to get a fix for a ROM.

Cookie 'Energy' style

• This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
• Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items on the homescreen, arrange items any way you like, plus lots of extra features
• Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
• 3 pages of quicklinks with a configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
• 3 Homescreen layouts to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !

Cookie Dinik Glass (glass theme)

• This is the same as the Cookie version above, but with Dinik's glass theme applied on everything.
• It currently features the "Valeria" iconset

Cookie GTX Themed (white theme)

• This ROM has the white GTX theme applied.
• Android styled taskbar
• Matching dialer

• GTX is a total reskin of the operating system, so expect a very different (white) experience
• Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <

Standard 'Energy'

• This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster
• This ROM still retains my theme and style, plus all the regular apps you find in my ROMs.

MaxSense UI (android style homescreen)

• This is a complete rewrite of the Sense homescreen, by maxycy.
• It features a 3 screen, Android style, homescreen with widgets! The widgets can be placed ANYWHERE on the three screens.
• 75 Quicklink accessible on all tabs
• You should really visit the original thread for this mod shown on the next line to see all the features!
  
• Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <.

Titanium (ROMs for raw speed!)

• This is a minimal ROM version without Sense in it. It's used primarily for people that like to customize the default 6.5 homescreen (Titanium)
• You can use it to install alternate homescreen interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, etc
• Very low memory footprint and good battery life, but very simple and lacks a lot of features that you would otherwise have available in Sense...

Sense 2.1 ROMs

• This is a ROM with the older Sense 2.1 homescreen. It's got less features than 2.5 but it consumes less RAM and battery and has more speed for slower devices (anything but the HD2)

• XDA_UC is built in. It will import your custom XML and REG files from your storage card after first boot.

• My own Settings Exporter application is found in the Tools folder. Use it to export all your settings after you customize the device. When a new ROM comes down the line, use it to import everything and save time.

• Everything is setup to use the phone right after flashing. Sounds, notifications, all options, etc

• The HTC Messaging client is removed, leaving the windows built SMS client for much faster texting, but still able to use a nicely skinned Sense text messaging app with "iphone style" messaging bubbles.

XDA_UC FAQ

The XDA_UC cooked in my ROMs is modified from the stock XDA_UC made by Noonski. Great addon, by the way... Noonski did a great job with this !

The version in my ROMs is trimmed down to fit the needs of my ROM series.

Some of the extra features are:

• It will copy shortcuts (.lnk files) found in \XDA_UC\Start Menu\ to the device's start menu folder (\windows\Start Menu) in the hierarchy that it finds on the storage card. For example: Let's say you have a navigation package on the storage card, like Navigon. If you make a shortcut to the navigon.exe file as Navigon.lnk and copy it to \XDA_UC\Start Menu\GPS\ as "Navigon.lnk" then on a fresh ROM install it will copy any shortcuts it finds there to the same location on the device, so it'll end up in \Windows\Start Menu\GPS\. This works for other folders on the Start Menu as well. Just put the shortcuts in \xda_uc\Start Menu\ in the folders you will like the shortcuts to appear to, on the device.

• It will copy a custom splash screen from \Storage Card\XDA_UC\welcomehead.192.png to \windows automatically and overwrite the one in the ROM.

• It will copy a custom Sense background found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\wallpaper_sense.png to the device and set that wallpaper as default in Sense. So rename your wallpaper as "wallpaper_sense.png" and drop it in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\ and on the next ROM flash that wallpaper will become your wallpaper in Sense.

Other than that XDA_UC works as designed by Noonski and it will do the following things:

• It will automatically import your PPCbackup (*.pib) file found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will install custom XDAS scripts found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently install CAB files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will install special CAB files that require user input (such as Agreements or any type of prompt) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD

• It will silently import REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently install REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Exporter, as exported by my own Settings Exporter, ONLY if the "automatic" file is also present in that folder (and it most cases it should be, enable that option in the Settings Export application's menu)

• It will silently import XML files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently import CER files (usually Exchange certificates) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently run custom MSCR files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

That's it, but don't forget to checkout the Addons folder and look in the XDA_UC section for tips and tutorials on how to export your email/wifi settings and various little .reg and tweaks you can add to your XDA_UC collection.

As always don't forget to check what installs automatically before reporting a problem with the ROM. Most of the time, if you notice you have a problem that nobody else is experience is because one of the cabs you dropped in the XDA_UC folder is installing automatically while you don't even think about it.

Hey, Silly question before its even downloaded, looking at the pics, on the tf3d2 today screen, is there a way to get the date to go up in the top left corner instead of below the time clock. I think it fills the screen a little better..Thanks

I am sooo excited that your making a CDMA ROM man. I been following your work for a while!! Ive heard ALOT of good things about your ROMs. Do you have a CDMA device or you just ported it to CDMA?

I have seen quite a few great Chefs get discouraged and stop cooking for the masses because of demands and negativity. Most of the people who make these idiotic comments are people who have no idea of the amount of work and effort you put into the product.
