Blackout Rom (Global 2.5) The Fastest Manilla Experience STAMP!!

[Adrianh85]

Phone will be in my hand friday morning!! if i can find this time i may cook a Base Blackout rom with everything stripped! just leaving a base 6.1/2.5 rom as my final!! (That means no theme, or 3rd party programs)

sounds good dude.... I'm about to load your ROM up on someone elses device. Awesome speedy ROM... and have fun in Android land

ah man,
thanks for making a 6.1 rom with the new sense 2.5
i tried nrg and deck's 6.5 roms, did not like them. this wack obsession everyone has with 6.5 is ridiculous, ive been flashing 6.5 roms since my TP1 and i have never noticed enough of a difference to use 6.5, and yet there's a new system build every other week.

no rom is perfect for everyone out the box, so i installed the following and would really recommend this to fellow users:
1. topaz notification manager (this puts the battery % in there)
2. cht and editor (customize home page and new hd mini lockscreen is SICK
3. enable large start menu (id actually prefer the factory shipped 6.1 start menu, but the large start menu is sufficient enough especially with cht

thats a pretty short list of cabs to install, which means your setup is good, at least for me! my only concern at this point is the wallpaper in landscape, it makes it very hard to read txts, emails, etc.. because the bg is black with some white in it, which conflicts with the text on the screen making it hard to read. i would also like the option of bg4alltabs but mainly my concern is for the landscape.

again thanks, im running it for only 1 day now but if its stable, then it will be my permanent rom! (ill be donating at some point when i have funds, wish i could donate right this sec. though, thats how much i appreciate it)

for anyone interested, i am posting a few mods that i have tested to be working 100% on top of this rom that add a little more function and flair to this already amazing rom:
1. topaz notification manager (install sdkcerts first, then topaz cab)
2. enlarge start menu
3. cookie hometab latest plus chteditor, which includes 2 new locking screen options
4. my settings for cht, just import them when in chteditor

i have included my settings export so you can import them to my setup which has been working perfectly, but im not sure the settings for the lockscreen will import so you will have to set that one up urself. (i personally disabled default lockscreen, enable cht lockscreen, and selected hd mini.)

sdkcerts.cab

Topaz Notification Manager.cab

Large-Start-Menu.cab

Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.7.1.cab

CHTEditor.v1.7.1.1.CAB

Chtsettings.zip

to make my settings work, i have unchecked all boxes in smartlock, changed backlight dim to 30 seconds, 1 minute turn off device (settings > power > backlight), and disabled key lock completely so that any key wakes up the screen, but phone is locked to prevent accidental calls. seems like a perfect setup to me, hope it works for you!

verizon users bewere the cht and and editor (well the cabs above) just killed my data connention settings! and romseem like there is a little more lag

hince why cht1.7 wasnt in current update
will test more

[power3dfx]

didnt do anything to my settings, im on sprint. as for the lag im not sure since i installed the cabs pretty much right away so nothing to compare to..

You are a saint. I've been looking for a compatible CAB for the enlarged Start Menu. As far as I'm concerned, it is the only thing this ROM needed to be perfect. Thanks for the upload. I guess I didn't look hard enough on my own. Now my fat fingers can finally catch a break on the Start Menu!

To properly change the wallpapers for both portrait and landscape, I've been using the attached "background 4 all" CAB. It is compatible with this version of Sense. It says TEST in its name, but it works great.
