WELCOME TO VILLAINROM
This bit’s the introduction. If you’re not interested in who we are, or how we got here, or are of the TL;DR mentality, then skip this entire section.
I HAVE INTERNET AT LAST! 5 weeks without it, and I'm officially back online, today! woop! Thank you for your patience. We wanted to make sure this ROM was right for you all prior to release! As many of you have noticed, I’m well and truly back in to the world of custom roms, after a few months break over the summer. Believe me, it was well and truly needed. It’s great to be back though.
If you’ve come from a HTC Hero/Desire or Magic, the chances are, you’ve heard of VillainROM. For that reason, I won’t go into who we are in too much detail. Sufficed to say, we’re a hardworking team of collaborative developers, working towards a common goal; to improve on manufacturer’s versions of the Android OS’ and to provide alternative, AOSP versions. We will no longer be providing 'experimental beta' releases, but instead, only releasing ROMs we deem to be 'final'.
So... to the ROM!
Before I do, though, I’d just like to take this opportunity to offer a huge message of gratitude to the team at #g2root. Scotty2 and the team worked their arses off for weeks on this, and together they achieved what HTC attempted to make impossible. We all owe them a huge debt of thanks.
This thread will house two ROMs; each of which will have its own thread on VillainROM.co.uk, but it's more manageable in the one here. Because of this, I'd appreciate it if you could post the name of the ROM you're using prior to reporting a problem/giving praise. These ROMs follow the successful release of Villision last week, which was a combined effort between HomerSP and myself. Homer is a legend, and he's worked with me again on this one. Once labelled 'The Hotfix King', he has been known to de-odex sleeping frogs and some pretty large haddock. I thank him, once again for his help and support.
VillainROMZ for the G2/Z is a stock Sense UI build, with a few VillainROM tweaks. The more obvious tweak is that the reboot and reboot to recovery options have been added, but I assure you, more changes have been made to the 'back end', so you should see an improvement on performance.
SuperVillainZ on the other hand, is one of VillainROM's specialities. It was, some time ago, one of the most popular ROMs on the Hero, and offers a combination of SenseUI and vanilla. It's entirely based on VillainROMZ, with HomerSP's power menu tweak and the tweaks of VillainROM, however, Rosie, and Sense UI widgets have been removed from the build. In addition, the age old problem of the ALARM CLOCK + LOCKSCREEN has been FIXED, by the very same, fish de-odexing legend, HomerSP. That means, you can use your HTC alarm, with your vanilla lockscreen... at last.
SuperVillainZ offers users what are, in our opinion the best bits of Sense UI (apps), with a Vanilla-like feel. The huge reduction in /system size and applications obviously makes it run that little bit better, too. This is the perfect ROM for those that can't decide... to sense, or not to sense.
The ever growing list of credits - Thanks to: HomerSP, Pulser, Cyanogen, Scotty, #g2root, Ninpo, Kendon, Mike Coffee, Lenny, Shen, Jeremy, Paul (Modaco), Richard Trip, MikeBeecham, RaiderX, lox, benhaam, strange Chinese guy whose name I don’t know but regularly places leaks in my dropbox, ALL VILLAINROM users, and in advance to anyone who downloads any of these ROMs, supports us, or leaves feedback.
/End introduction.

For anyone on T-Mobile having APN problems, download the below file, RENAME FROM .xls to .xml, and push/copy to /system/etc, then reboot.
I can't remember who found the error, but thank you!
Sorry - I manually typed in a load of APNs, and must have removed something.
Woot, finally here! I'll be flashing it later this week when my schedule clears up a bit. Now to decide between SuperVillian or VillianROM.... Does SuperVillian have the HTC dialer?
Wow, you sir are the man... I'll def. be trying this ROM out right now!

Wow these look interesting as hell! I'm enjoying CM6 so much right now but will definitely give SuperVillainZ a try.
just what i have been looking for , do you have app2sd enable to move apps with copyright protection
For anyone who downloaded the ROM more than 2 minutes ago, please download it again, as I have corrected an error that gave you an older version of the ROM, without so much added awesomesauce.
Congrats to ddotpatel who spotted my *AHEM* deliberate little test (I wish... )
AMAZING haha

Ah just spent an hour downloading it too haha. Guess I'll restart it.
Ok I installed it but for some reason it keeps saying there's no network found? Anyone else having this issue? This is after a full wipe & install btw... I had everything turned on as well but still no luck...
I guess its back on CM RC3 for now till someone tells me what the issue is.

Installed which of the 2
Tried out both of the older ones .. WOW .. VillainROMz is SO much faster/smoother than any other Sense ROM I've tried. Too bad they both contain the usual sense UI problem when changing density. Will redownload the new ones though.
downloading to try now! the sense ver..im kinda addicted to sense!
also what kind of goodies can we look forward to in updates?
if i could request a few:
1.an audio boost to phone calls! would be great!!
2.maybe the stock 2.2 keyboard would be a great addition also!
So why cant i connect to T-Mobile's network? I can only get a connection thru Wifi and nothing when i turn off Wifi.
Whats the deal here????

This ROM is a mish-mash of Vanilla Gingerbread & CM7, and is compiled from the latest CyanogenMod 7 sources. It will be regularly maintained with the latest commits from the CM guys, and our own VillainROM tweaks and changes. This ROM is starting to take shape, and differing from the stock CM7 build.
Anyway, before we begin - I'd like to thank the entire CyanogenMod team for the epic and consistently BRILLIANT work, for without it, this, and many other ROMs would not be possible. Well done guys - You deserve all the credit. I'd also like to thank Ninpo for his CM6.1 work, and the rest of the VillainROM developers & staff (Pulser, HomerSP, Kendon, Shen, Lenny, Acolwill, dmzda, Revoked, McDuck, etc)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
To flash this ROM, you will NEED to have ClockworkMod 3.0 installed, which manages EXT4 partitions. If at any stage you need to revert back to a Froyo ROM, you will need to reflash /boot into CWM 2.X via Fastboot.
1. Download ClockworkMod 3.0 from here
2. Boot the phone into Fastboot mode by holding Volume Down and pressing power
3. From terminal/command prompt, type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
OR... alternatively, just fastboot boot into CWM 2.X to revert to a Froyo backup.
4. Boot into recovery (adb reboot recovery ... or Hold camera and press power)
5. Perform a FULL DATA/CACHE WIPE (only if coming from Froyo)
6. Install Zip from SD Card, and select GingerVillain1.4-signed.zip
1.4 Known Bugs:
1. Enabling screen on/off animations and OC/UV at the same time causes lag when trying to turn the screen on. The animations work fine without overclock... so it's oone or the other right now I'm afraid.
Download links are HERE!
If you're a fan of the ROM.. thank us with a 5 star rating!
thanks will flash soon. in the meantime posting a mirror at my blog.
So you bit off Cyanogen, called it your own, and are (albeit politely) requesting donations?
I hope I'm not right.

Wow, just stop, lol. If people feel like donating for the things OUTSIDE of the CM stuff in here, then that's great. This isn't just cm7 compiled from source, labeled GingerVillain, and saying "Donate plzzzz"
Honestly, I've been using the other cm7 builds, but WOW. This build is SUPER smooth, at only 806mhz!! It's definitely going to be a keeper if it maintains this. Don't know about battery, obviously, but for anyone who has been using the other ones .. the modifications by Villain definitely make this thing fly. No DSP though, or StatusBar widgets, before people ask.
I hate you NP.....
Haha jk... I really need root
Looking foward to flashing this (when I can).. liked your hero roms
Seems like the server is down, could not download.

wi-fi problems?
Just flashed it. Looks great! However, when I turn on wifi to setup my Google account, restore apps, etc., it stays on for a few seconds (won't show any of the open networks in my building) then just turns off.
Also Twitter sync doesn't work (try to sync Twitter with existing contacts but it automatically switches to option back to 'Don't Sync')
Anyone else having this problem or know a solution?

I can't tell ya what ROM to run, obviously, but to me, this is leaps and bounds beyond the ones that are just direct/simply cm7 builds, as those have no real enhancements. This build, runs amazing actually. Screen shots, it's really just stock vanilla. The only thing different, is the background. Just head to the other Villain ROM (senseless) threads, and you'll see what the bg/boot animation look like.
Also comes pre-packed with GB keyboard, along with GB launcher. Smokin' fast.

About the rom:
I've been using many Sense builds, but I kept finding that the speed isn't optimal.
So I've been working for a long time to the create of the fastest Sense HD rom for the Desire Z/G2 ever: iSensationHD
It's a rom based on:
Desire Z: v1.82
Desire Z: v1.85
Desire HD: v1.84
A quick comparison:
I've used the same OC kernel for both builds.
Stock Scores a quadrant score of 2219
iSensationHD Scores a quadrant score of 2417
Features:
Re-engineered all apk's
PNG-Optimized every single apk using two optimizers
Zipaligned every apk
Re-engineered all framework files.
Removed app's I don't use.
Virtuous' Advanced OC Sense kernel More info HERE
Power notification bar added and themed. More info HERE
Desire HD's keyboard with arrows.
Funky flying window animations.
Advanced Shutdown menu
Updated market apps
Disabled Boot audio
Pre-rooted with the latest version of Superuser and modified ramdisk to allow adb remount, mock locations, etc.
Includes my Custom ClockWorkMod Recovery More info HERE
Optional package themed with Elegant Blues
Installation:
Wipe data and Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery
iSensationHD v1.0
iSensationHD v1.0 [Elegant Blues]
I'm sorry to tell but the png-optimisation process takes multiple hours and I'm gone tomorrow so it'll take 3 more days for the Elegant Blues themed rom to arrive.
Disclaimer:
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.
Optional Packages:
iSensationHD v1.0 Removed Apps
iSensationHD v1.0 [Elegant Blues] Removed Apps
StockIME.zip <- Flashable zip file
Bugs:
Phone won't wake from sleep sometimes. This is caused by the kernel and can be resolved by flashing Virtuous' HTC kernel from HERE
Thanks to:
HTC, google and rmk for the roms
Cyanogen and Koush for CWM
he_steone for the theme
ASimmons for his png-kitchen

Doesn't that just make Sense?
I've heard about the battery issues. I'll work on a fix and upload the themed version, in about 36 hours from now (probably less). I will also see if I can include an desire Z phone app which rotates. About making a update.zip for the removed packages, I chose not to do because if you just want one app back, you don't want 20 others with it. Thats's why they are in a rar archive and are able to be adb pushed to system/app. Let me know if I missed any bugs!

With all due respect, I dispute your benchmark claims regarding Virtuous specifically. Using our own advanced kernel, clocked to the maximum, we consistently produce Quadrant scores of between 2350-2500.
Everyone welcomes more ROM options to the community and I am no exception, but please make sure your claims are accurate if you're going to compare.

Thanks a lot!
Just trying to share some stuff I personally use. The rom just feels awesomely fast with the window animations when clicking through settings.
I know that I'm just changing work of others, but the problem is that everything has been released already! Back on my x10 mini pro I was able to do some serious porting, but that was because I was the only actual developer on the forum section when I started.

About the rom:
I've been using many Sense builds, but I kept finding that the speed isn't optimal.
So I've been working for a long time to the create of the fastest Sense HD rom for the Desire Z/G2 ever: iSensationHD
It's a rom based on:
Desire Z: v1.82
Desire Z: v1.85
Desire HD: v1.84
A quick comparison:
I've used the same OC kernel for both builds.
Stock Scores a quadrant score of 2219
iSensationHD Scores a quadrant score of 2417
Features:
Re-engineered all apk's
PNG-Optimized every single apk using two optimizers
Zipaligned every apk
Re-engineered all framework files.
Removed app's I don't use.
Virtuous' Advanced OC Sense kernel More info HERE
Power notification bar added and themed. More info HERE
Desire HD's keyboard with arrows.
Funky flying window animations.
Advanced Shutdown menu
Updated market apps
Disabled Boot audio
Pre-rooted with the latest version of Superuser and modified ramdisk to allow adb remount, mock locations, etc.
Includes my Custom ClockWorkMod Recovery More info HERE
Optional package themed with Elegant Blues
Installation:
Wipe data and Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery
iSensationHD v1.0
iSensationHD v1.0 [Elegant Blues]
I'm sorry to tell but the png-optimisation process takes multiple hours and I'm gone tomorrow so it'll take 3 more days for the Elegant Blues themed rom to arrive.
Disclaimer:
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.
Optional Packages:
iSensationHD v1.0 Removed Apps
iSensationHD v1.0 [Elegant Blues] Removed Apps
StockIME.zip <- Flashable zip file
Bugs:
Phone won't wake from sleep sometimes. This is caused by the kernel and can be resolved by flashing Virtuous' HTC kernel from HERE
Thanks to:
HTC, google and rmk for the roms
Cyanogen and Koush for CWM
he_steone for the theme
Doesn't that just make Sense?

Ah sorry, the themed version of the rom isn't finished yet. Well, it's finished but it has to be PNG-optimized and uploaded which takes multiple hours and I don't have time for it yet. It will be up in ~3 days, sorry for the inconvenience!
Your OP says that you used two kinds of optimizers, which ones did you use?

Extract it to the root of your drive. (e.g. C:\opto_signer\)
Drop your update.zip into it
open the script. Easy as that!
Hey, I'm running your Rom now, seems pretty good. The only thing I have is that I surely miss Trackpad Wake. If you can add that, it would be great. You can sign into HTC Sense, which is cool. The animations are very fast, wow.
If you add trackpad awake please make if an option. Alot of people including myself do not like it at all. Great work tho!!

1. JDR0iD takes no responsibility for any damange to your phone in the flashing progress. If you have issues, I will try to help but am not permitted too. You should know what you are doing, If you don't, don't do it!
2. Do not take,copy,kang,use, theme or share my work without asking permission to do so, I have no problem allowing, as long as you ask first but I expect credits and link to my work.
3. Read the thread, hit search button, if you cant find the answer then you can ask!!

As requested by you, my grateful users, I humbly present to you...
The WildChild Sense ROM
This is basically your stock HTC Sense 2.1 ROM, with a few extra twists:
WildChild themed (hope ya like blue!)
Einstein Frat's latest "Cake" (v1.4) over-clocked kernel
De-Odex'ed ROM (with an Odex version coming very, very soon!)
Extra alarm & notification sounds
a2sd support (with Link2SD bundled... go nuts.)
Wake screen with volume rocker
CRT animation on/off
Removed the Google Market updater (will provide it as an Add-On, if users wish it)
Some extra crap I'm almost certainly forgetting
Adobe Flash player
Barcode Scanner
Link2SD
Terminal Emulator
AnEq Equalizer
FileExpert
GPSStatus
NoFrills CPU
Notepad
Partitions Info Lite
ScreenFilter (for making your screen ultra-dark)
Startup Auditor
Superuser
WiFi Manager
Wifi Tracker
(ALL apps are at current version, as of today)
As with the original WildChild ROM, I will add flashable .zip "Add-On" packages as users request them. There are currently Add-Ons unique to WildChild Sense (see Post #2, below) or you have the option to experiment with the numerous Add-Ons from my previous WildChild ROM (found here). I suspect most of the original WildChild Add-Ons will work with this Sense ROM, just stay away from anything marked "Nemus" or "Rosie" unless you know what the hell you're doing.
There are two versions of this ROM: Odex'ed and De-Odex'ed. Search on these XDA forums to learn the difference. The Odex'ed version here gives you about 108 MB of internal /data space free for your applications install.
WildChild Sense De-Odex [v1.0]
MD5 = a784c5e8be9c019a2b09c81b3bda0363
WildChild Sense Odex [v1.0]
MD5 = 43649c3bf780dd216d2cb782e86cf4ed
As far as Sense 2.1 ROMs go, this one's pretty slick. Not only is it VERY stable (I tested it for two weeks prior to release with nary a single force-close, hang, or reboot) but, as usual, it's pretty phucking good looking. If you enjoy the Sense UI as much as I do, then I hope you have fun with this ROM. Feedback, as usual, is very much welcomed.
Installation instructions are similar to the previous WildChild ROM. Get 'em here.
Enjoy,
...oh, and since no one will download a ROM without 'em, here are your beloved:
[+] WildChild "Recovery" flash (for when you f*ck up your ROM big time!)
(Recovery Download for DeOdex ROM)
(Recovery download for Odex ROM)
This "Recovery" will replace essential services and framework in the WildChild Sense ROM. It is intended for you hacker folks who took tweaking a step too far and are now caught in a boot loop (or other disastrous consequences). By flashing this recovery, there is a VERY good chance that you will be able to reboot properly into your ROM (so that you may backup your apps, data, etc.) and then re-flash the ROM if necessary.
N.B. By flashing this recovery you may lose some customizations you've made to the ROM (but at least you'll get a chance to get your data back!), so use with caution.
[+] Change the colour of your boot animation
(See preview pics at http://imageshack.us/g/534/snowwhiteh.png/)
Coming soon...
[+] 5x4 app drawer
[+] remove my Ring of Fire lock screen and replace with stock
[+] other cosmetic tweaks and add-on's stolen from the original WildChild
Oh maaan I like this but I like my ultra lite Wildchild too

I know. You can hate me later (when I release the "refresh" for WildChild!)
One of the most frustrating things I remember is setting up my ROM just the way I like it... and then a DEV comes along and releases a ROM I was interested and I was like, "noooooooooo!!! you bastard!".
I think I've spent more time flashing, configuring, and tweaking, than I actually have using my damned phone.
Thanks for all your positive input so far, anhelogr!

Seeing as it's using EF's Dust kernel I would assume not. It is based on GB2.3.5 and marvelc only supports 2.3.4 unless you add support for it when you compile the kernel (and from what I remember he didn't add that to any of his kernels).

Buy me a beer?!
Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to even being writing this but, since enough of you have asked me (both privately and publicly), I feel that I should at least give you the option of showing your gratitude.
I've linked a "Donate" button to the top of my Tigger avatar. You can use that if you wanna throw a buck or two my way. I promise that all money received will go DIRECTLY into my "weekend beer" fund, and not towards my wife or kids.
p.s. I didn't choose the horrible "Donate" icon; it is the standard XDA graphic. *yawn*
Thank you, kindly, for all your support so far.
Anyone tell me what flash player performance is like?
I've never had much luck getting flash player working on sense Roms, only cm7 seems to run it for me.
If someone can confirm it works then I'm in.

I'm on the homestarrunner.com website right now and it's working just fine!
It's Adobe Flash Player v11.0 that's bundled with the ROM. Works out of the box.

It's actually Cake v1.4... but I doubt it will work on CDMA phones.
If anyone wants to try and report back here, be my guest.
is this rom based on newest RUU?
ROM is good. But low scores on Antutu. Is adreno update installed or anything I missed.

There are no Adreno libs.
Also, the ROM scores low (compared to the "original" WildChild) because of all the Sense UI and packages that autostart. I've supplied a startup manager app that you can use to select what does/doesn't launch. If you tweak that (and plug in 768 Mhz/performance for CPU) then it scores a respectable Antutu score... but still nothing close to my Sense-less WildChild. The Sense UI really does take a lot out of a phone (but it's beauty is unparalleled, in my opinion!).
This ROM is purely for those Sense junkies. If it's speed & free RAM you're after, then WildChild (and even the WildChild/CM7-mashup) will make ya happy.
