New installation instructions!


Due to Google not really allowing bundled google apps to be bundled with roms and redistributed by the public, we have decided to separate google apps from the rest of the rom. :emo_im_sad:

What does this mean for you? A slightly longer installation process. Also, the phone will work as a phone, without Google apps. Its just taken the 'smart' out of smart phone Please note calendar will not work and will force close until Google Apps have been installed.

1. Download and install http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/redrum_chaos_1_1.zip (the ROM) with your favorite recovery image, be it clockwork or sprecovery. Rom manager from the market makes it easiest, allowing you to install rom directly from sd card while within Android, and has an easy to follow gui. Keep in mind if you use sprecovery, this must be renamed to update.zip and placed in the base of your sd card.

2. Install google apps. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/g_apps3.zip These are installed the same way as the ROM!
Note: For sprecovery users, grab this instead: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip

3. Download and install metamorph from the market and install this metamorph theme: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/Red_Rum_Chaotis_MM.zip This will theme the google apps you installed and finish the final look. It is NOT required.

4 (Optional). Spare Parts has been included in a separate download for 1.1, but to be included from here on. This is a custom version for Team CHAOS, that has removed compache settings, launcher settings, etc. that do not apply to this ROM. Credit goes to cyanogen, as it was his source code that this was compiled from, and credit to my good friend treynull, who helped me because my java skills suck!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/Spare_Parts.zip

It gets installed the same way as a rom in clockwork, or an update.zip for sprecovery.

It has arrived!

bgill55 and adrynalyne are proud to present to you:

http://www.jbthemes.com/bgill55/redrumchaos.zip

This joint project ROM was built using the ESE81 source tree by me, under the name chaos. The kernel is built by me from the latest 2.6.29 aosp code. It supports wifi tethering (tested with pre-8) and has tun support for VPN. The speed ranges from 125mhz to 1ghz @ stock voltage, and the kernel has the conservative governor enabled. It defaults to 600mhz, ondemand governor. This rom is very slim, but we will be adding apps we removed at a later date in the form of an update.zip. MMS video also works properly.

Enough of the boring stuff. bgill55 has done ALL of the theming in this rom, as well as the custom animation transitions. He has brought a truly amazing work of art to life. He has made stock 2.1 look absolutely fantastic!


Items removed:

Corporate Calendar
Amazon MP3
Email
Development tools
Google Goggles
QuickOffice


Items added (that you wont see in stock 2.1):

Spare Parts
Motoroi File Manager
Custom themed Launcher2 (credit bgill55)
Custom themed 5 screen Launcher (credit bgill55)
Busybox w/ cp symlinked
sysro, sysrw, Fix_permissions scripts
download crutch lite (takes care of unsupported filetypes when downloading with browser).


Tweaks

Increased wifi scan interval to help with battery life.
Kernel has been compiled with ondemand governor by default, instead of performance (which is how stock does it).
Disabled ring delay.
Custom transition animations (credit bgill55).
Spart Parts (you can change transitions and animations speed to enhance performance, as well as set home launcher to be persistent.
HQ Youtube by default.

Issues:
Launcher2: Included, but not all Launcher2 apps out there work. Latest Helix2 beta works like a dream.

Note: This is a higher performance, overclocked rom. Not all hardware is made equally, and may be subject to instability for some at higher speeds. We cannot guarantee/support stability past 600mhz (default manufacturer speed).

Issues
voice search is broken. The fix is here, install it as an update.zip.4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download voice_search_fix.zip

Please note, you may need to wipe to get this ROM installed and working, if coming from 1.0. Hopefully this won't be the case in the future.
