Hello everyone!!
I just started this thread because I don't think I have ever really seen this ROM mentioned a lot.
The developer koush, developed a ROM based completely from source, actually from Cyanogen's source to be exactwhich is exciting in itself. Cyanogen has been like a god within the Android world, developing on the G1, MyTouch 3G, and the Nexus One. Basically koush brought this wonderfullness to our Droids.....and let me just say, it's AMAZING
I think the main aspect that has turned people off from flashing this ROM, is the fact that you have to flash an *alternate* recovery image other than SPRecovery....and my have we gotten used to SPRecovery lol. I actually avoided flashing this ROM for a while now just soley because of this fact, but yesterday I decided to try it after speaking with him and hearing some things about it...
The recovery image, has a file explorer within it, for whenever you apply .zip files. And all of koush's ROM's are .zip files, no need to rename to update.zip....just apply as is. *Unless* it's supposed to be an update.zip installation...
I came to the conclusion that this is going to be *my* setup, at least for a good while.
It comes with the regular Launcher, and a modified Launcher2 (that I didn't experience any FC's with during the time I used it), that both have interactive touch with live wallpapers. It's lightning fast, and extremely stable.
It has auto-rotate 3-ways!!! There is an opposite landscape mode
Since this is built on the ere25 build, it doesn't have the Droid "Neural Network" live wallpaper. BUT, the Nexus Wallpaper, comes with 6 different color schemes to apply to the lines that continuously move across the screen: Dust, Nexus, SexyNexus, CyanogenMod, Candy, and Zion....as well as 2 choices for a Normal or Dark background of the wallpaper.
The regular Launcher.apk app drawer is modified to fit 5 icons in each row. Looks a lot nicer IMO...
I would say this a great option for anyone to experiment with and they would definitely not be disappointed
Check out his original thread here
And the recovery thread here
Okay I quit rambling lol It's just had me excited I figured I would share since I don't really see it mentioned much over here....
And as of today! koush has released an app in the Market called "ROM Manager"It will flash ClockworkMod Recovery for you, but, at least right now, you will still have to download the ROM manually yourself...but this function IS implemented in the app, just not enabled at the moment.
koush is also working the ability for OTA's
