darkstone HD2Froyo v1 – HD2 Android ROM

This rom is based on the AOSP Desire builds. Here
The kernel is from Cotulla’s branch, his latest updates can be found Here
The main kernel branch can be found Here

This build is a clean and stock build, with NO HTC Sense included.

Ok, so basically nearly everything works, it’s much easier to list what ISN’T working in this HD2 ROM:

  • Camcorder (unless if you use a 3rd party app)
  • GPS (its not even in the kernel, don’t get mixed up with triangulation!)
  • Ringtones (unless if you download this and copy the media folder to the root of your sd card)
  • SIM contacts need fixing, none show at the moment

HTC Sense Weather color clouds – [VGA/WVGA/QVGA]

This simply changes the color of HTC Sense Weather clouds (default white), by Light blue, Yellow or Red one.
Not useful but nice to see, especially on dark backgrounds.

Works on VGA/WVGA/QVGA resolutions and only in Manila 2.5.   For Manila 2.1 ROMs, take a look HERE.

Installation:
– Just install the attached cab and allow restart.
– It’s not necessary disable HTC Sense.

Current version: 1.15: Performance greatly increased, lockscreen password, etc.

“Treats”

The real WP7 contains something called “Treats”. These are little, fairly useless, but cool features.
Some of the ones included in this theme: Text icon changes depending on amount of messages. First it is a smile, then a frown, and finally a gasping face. Bing search background changes depending on the day’s image.

Upcoming features

Pictures hub
