Just wanna gauge the interest of me doing a ROM for the Incredible. The mods list would be just about the same as my EVO ROM, so they would perform about the same.
Link to my EVO ROM so you can see what it looks like

Calkulin. Good to see you here. I used a lot of your project on my Touch Pro. Good job on that and I am sure you are doing a good job on the Android. I know everyone will appreciate your work. I took a look at what you have and like, but I prefer a stock look. I will keep an eye on your work. You never know.
I think that there's always interest in something different, even if only slightly. I'm guessing that the only solid way to find out would be go invest the time in putting one together and seeing what kind of response you get. I'm sure that everyone would agree that having a dev with experience add to our choices would certainly be a more satisfying experience than having a herd of novices (keeping in mind that in all things we were all once novices). The people love choice.
That is a nice clean ROM. I would def try it out.
i would be stocked ...loved all your roms/kitchens for the last few years at ppcgeeks...bring it !!!
im sure once they try it they will love it...i heard mightymike's gone android too...crazy all we need is nrg and its like old times
Im game dude, loved your windows roms
I would definitely be interested... used some of your creations when i had a TP2... ahhh i miss the days of ppcgeeks...
Absolutely! The more the better!
Looks a very polished rom. I'd sport it!
More choice is never a bad thing. I wouldnt use it personally as there are apps installed I would never use but I am sure others would like and use it.
Used to use your TP Rom on PPC Geeks! Would definitely like to see one for the Dinc!!!
I'd use it

Yes, please!
Well, already started working on the ROM, so hopefully I'll have a beta out this week
If you need a tester, feel free to contact me.

Looks really clean...I'll give it a shot. A friend said you do some great work. I placed a post over at www.incredibleforum.com as well. Need some testers let me know
Calkulin, will this have the usual bloatware removed?
Need some beta testers, PM me if your available now
Dear devs, theme-makers and users. Anybody know if there is a theme with the gingerbread screen off animation?
Would love it on my sgs...

I want it too.
Gingerbread screen off animation is not available yet.
Well apparently CM7 has it.
I want it too! Will donate
It's not impossible, but its not feasible either.
Considering you're dealing with closed source and want to add opengl based code to a smali file, it could be tricky and definitely time consuming.
I'd advise just sit tight for a stable gingerbread firmware.
Cm7 has it because it is gingerbread...
They also added it to screen on so it must be transferable in some shape or form.. No idea how myself..
I have been wondering about this for days now, and I would love to see it on my vibrant

Surely with so much hype over Gingerbread, this must have been found by someone?
I hope someone finds it soon and is able to implement it.
What really annoys me about this awesome feature is that an iPhone already has the ability to do it (albeit with a mod from the jailbroken community) after some guy spent 3 hours figuring out a solution. You'd think it'd be a lot easier for android phones (since it was originally, well, has been already designed for them) to support and implement it much better than an iPhone... well, that's just my opinion. I'm not too sure how easy it would be to make it work for our phones, and I'm more than happy to wait until someone wise can take the time to make it happen, but either way when it does eventually arrive you can count on me to add it onto every future rom I'll ever use.
ps. I'd link you all to the article about the iPhone mod but I don't have the rights to at the moment... sorry.
In norm terms
I wouldn't use trans, and I don't at the moment, no need to flash, just pure speed XD
But that said, I must admit, this I'll prob use Neat how it looks like an old analog television turns off, or this is what it makes me think of,

You all just have to read post #5.
UPDATE!! Ric is back on board and actively working on Azrael 4.0!!! THIS IS INDEED GREAT NEWS! I am going to leave this thread open just to continue showing my support for his work and would appreciate it greatly if every Azrael user continues to show support here in case he ever needs to be reminded again. Thanks to all that contributed in persuading him to continue developing this awesome Rom!
So Ricsim78 has recently posted in his thread for the Azrael Rom that due to too many complaints to his Rom that he may or may not end up hanging up the towel for good and ending the development of his Roms. Personally this saddens me. So i ask here.....Do you use any of the Azrael ROMS?? Did you use one and switched due to issues?? Should he continue to build his ROMS??? Read his original post .......

I did this for fun and along the way I have enjoyed how my ROMS have progressed. But now that people have rated down my work and shown me that no matter what I do, it will never be "good enough" and I should use "other ROMS as my base", that tells me that I should keep my own custom ROMS to myself.
I am going to make a few different versions of Azrael X Final, keep this thread updated as progress is made, but I think I have been shown the way by the community here.
I appreciate all the people who do support me. I am forever grateful but I am pretty disgusted by the acts of some people on here. There are lots of ROM options here, so I am sure there is a good new one to pick up.
Nothing lasts forever; maybe my decision will reverse, maybe not. But as it stands, I begin work on one final release of Azrael X. It will be called just that and may well be my last public release of my ROMS."""""
Some may have issues with his Rom but i have not experienced any of these issue nor have any of the other 15+ HTC EVO's that I have flashed his Rom to. Plenty have requested that he use a different base for his Rom. I disagree with this as well. His Rom is plenty fast and plenty stable and if you have problems with how he makes his stuff.....try something else or learn how to develop your self. Its that simple. There are PLENTY of other options to chose from. If your like me and your incapable of developing your own stuff....take what you cant get and thank these fantastic developers that do everything they can to make our good phones the best phones they can be.
IF YOU VOTE ANYTHING OTHER THAN YES, PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND POST YOUR REASONS HERE. PLEASE LIST ANY BUGS YOU EXPERIENCED. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT PARTICIPATE.
I will only use Azrael roms....Ric's support for his roms is secound to none!!!!

yea you said it. 10 fold.
Yess!!! Thats what im talkin about!!! Everyone show your support for this amazing rom here and maybe, just maybe we can convince him all his hard work has not been in vain!!!! (cross your fingers azrael lovers!!) thanks guys!!
Ok so I flashed my Evo about a month ago and I tried a few different ROMs and I have been on Az's for the whole time. I love it and won't flash anyone else's ROMs now. Please don't go Az.
Ric should do what makes him happy. I did however vote for how much I like his work though and the selfish part of me wants him to keep making them. If he were to ask me, which he hasn't of course, I would say to always listen with an open mind, but not to ever worry or sweat about what the negative folks have to say and concentrate instead on enjoying the process of his work and the majority of us who enjoy it. Here's to you Ric, thanks for everything that you've done so far, I will appreciate it and you no matter what.
I personally don't use his ROMS but I do think losing a Dev from the community because of a few bad apples is poor form. It's too bad he feels this way and I think this thread is an awesome show of support!
I love his roms. I personally love the way sense looks and he keeps that look. Its snappy reliable and awesome on battery life. I hate animations and this rom has the best ones I've ever seen. I use the phone heavily and at 11pm it still has 40% on the stock battery. Everyone says there rom has great battery life and they don't but AZs Rom does. I would like him to continue his dev work but if he must go then that's that. And we should remember his awesome work.

I have been a supporter since the day I rooted my phone. I have had no issues at all and definitely hope he changes his mind. Excellent work and thanks for your passion.
It is my ROM of choice and now use it exclusively.
I love the X rom...
I think the trouble most people have is from the different kernels. I run his rom with the stock #15 kernel. It's the only one that flies on my Evo. Any other kernel sucks!
I use it, and its the only rom ive had NO problems with. Id be very disappointed to see the development of this rom stop.
Az I used 3 other roms before flashing yours, and yours is the one that I liked best. I tried a few of the other roms from the devs that I liked on my hero but I didn't like theirs as much as I love yours. So if you do decide to go please add me to your mailing list. I would be honored.
P.S. I check every day to see if you have posted an updated rom.
Take care my friend

I have never used Azrael's ROM, but that's just because I've been stuck on a different ROM for a while now, and haven't strayed from it yet. It saddens me to hear of this, possibly losing a dev from the community. I love having so many options for different ROMs, and I find them all to be great, and have different tweaks and features that fit different scenarios. I have never heard anything bad about Azrael's ROM, just the oppositte actually, people praising it. I am not up to par on the type of comments people were saying about it, that prompted his (for free!!!) decision, but I find that terrible. People should show nothing but respect and support for the devs here, and the hard work that they put in. And as far as I know, it seems that most of the devs here work together, and trade info and what not. I hope that people step up and show him support so that his decision can be reversed.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and that is what the thread voting and rating system is intended for. BUT there is a very small handful of members here that need to learn to show some respect! Life isn't perfect and neither is each and every custom ROM. Those who down rate a ROM thread because they have some technical difficulties are morons!
I have yet to see a ROM thread where the dev does not ask the community to please report any issues you find. So how can anybody be so dumb and down rate just for spite?
Rick, I can totally understand how you must feel to put a ton of pride and effort into this nice custom ROM to have it all crushed by a few idiots who can't see past their own selfish moronic ego's. It's a shame these members can't somehow disappear and take their ungrateful selves far from this community and never come back! They will surely continue this childish behavior on other ROM threads. This community would be much much better off without this small handful of ungrateful [email protected][email protected]$!!! Please forgive my French...
Do what you think is best Rick, I totally understand. My advice is to sleep on it a few days and start over... there's always new things coming down the pipes and mabe one day you'll feel better about your much appreciated work. Don't let a couple of dumb punks distract you. We all know your work is at the very top of the list without a doubt. Those couple of spiteful members casting bad votes means nothing to this community. Believe me we ALL know you are the real deal when it comes to your work and awesome support!
Yes and i have never had a problem with his Roms. Hope he never leaves. Rick you rule!
a few words
I've been a longtime Lurker who does not post anything but I had to give this man some much needed appreciation. Hands down this Rom is the best that I have tried here. Its silky smooth while maintaining speed and awesome battery life. I really hope he decides to keep developing but I cant fault him for choosing not to. By the way I just donated to you ric. Hope this helps out the coffee fund.
The ONLY issue I had with his 3.0 rom was the tethering. Not the hotspot but the Android tethering. To this day Im not to sure what happened with it as it just quit on me one day. I didnt blame the rom itself if people read my posts, but I also know I sure as hell wouldnt vote someone down (whatever that is actually lol).
My little brother was talked into (by me), into using his 3.1 and he loves it,cept the android tethering is not working for him either. So other then the tethering issues (which im now leaning more towards rom issue, as im now running Mik and its working again flawlessly), his works been pretty awesome.
Ok, I'm properly going to get a lot of negative people on here telling me to go F$%K myself or whatever which will properly include the supposedly "developers" of these so called roms of the links below as well BUT I'm going to say it anyways!
What happened to all the creative developers on here? I mean I admire XxXViRuSXxX, Cyanogen and echoside to name a few BUT I think the rest need to step up their game because looking at other forums on here and is not even close to the quality of work! I'm not sure about everyone else on here because every time I think I got you guys figured out, I get surprised BUT I'm tired of seeing a CM7 ROM with a theme on it and being posted in the development section! Oh and is not only CM7 Roms....is Sense Roms as well with NOTHING to add or anything....is an exact copy of the freaking rom! I could understand if you made a change to something other then a freaking .png then I wouldn't be as mad but when you just switch out .png's and call yourself a developer...COME ON, that's BULL!!
Now I know what's coming (I hope..lol), you guys are going to say that I'm wrong and that I need to chill out BUT I would like for someone to explain these roms below to me.......BECAUSE they don't provide nothing special except a theme!

I could pull up more but I think 3 was enough to prove my point.....
If you going to make a duplicate rom with a theme then do me and hopefully everyone else a favor and just make a .zip and post it in the themes and apps section because is getting OLD....it really is!
Oh and sorry for the rant but I just needed to get that off my chest....LOL
I agree to an extent

Well, let us look at those three links you posted. You kind of lose your credibility by using those as your main argument.
Anyone with half a brain will realize that those threads look like failures. They barely have posts in them. People respond to the ROMs that interest them--and ROMs like that don't interest people, simple as that.
There's no way to just make people stop doing that, but it is quite obvious that the people who do that don't get many hits. They don't contribute anything, so people don't pay attention to them.
We have some amazing developers here, like Cyanogen, Virus, Myn, and so on. You said it yourself.
The development forums for the Evo are quite active, and so it is pretty obvious that you would have people who want to try to look like developers posting carbon copy ROMs.
I agree with you on the basic idea of the thread though; you aren't a ROM developer if you simply make a theme and throw some apps in. You're a theme developer. I would enjoy more creative and interesting ROMs, but I also at the same time feel that the Evo developer community delivers very well, and I'm glad we have all of the great developers we do.

I've always understood that. >=(
God I really really really wish CoreDroid were more stable and kept smooth consistantly. I used the crap out of it the past few days and every few hours I'll have to fix perms(which isn't a big deal what-so-ever) its just something I wish didn't have to occur(at least not every hr or 2..can't be good for battery life). Granted its a whole hell of a lot better that rebooting and force closing...that stuff SUCKS! Every now and then contacts will go out of sync for some odd reason nothing I do(including syncing yadda yadda yadda) will bring them back until I fix perms and reboot. Able to flash DSP manager which was huge for me, so no issues on audio. All in all its the dopest rom I've used as per what I've been wanting to see when it comes to android experience(my opinion only of course). That being said, I would really like to improve upon this rom and others. Can someone please(I'm being as genuine as I've ever been on these boards..and some of you guys can't stand me in sure lol)and I really mean please, point me in the right direction so that I may begin to learn how to fix these minor bugs. Or at least that's how it feels/sounds when I think about it. So please one of you DEVS like SIULMAGIC or any other DEV like them (mainly because he's cool and posts sense stuff a lot and aren't dicks like some people can be) so that I may slowly learn how to contribute more to the community and let's not BS, get something just the way I want it. So please if you will just stear me into a good direction to start, I will do my best not to be annoying and bug you every 5 minutes, nor talk smack to you or ANYBODY on these forums,YEAH I SAID IT, ANYONE lol....unless its really needed, and let's not kid ourselves, every one of us has it coming on occasion. It's why they call us human beings right?
I'm done now and very sorry to take up your time. I love this rom, and not planning to use anything else for a while. I just want those bugs out of there so the ROM seems 100% what the experience, or at least how I personally think the overall ANDROID EXPERIENCE should be. I'm more than happy to put in the time and effort to learn how to, and in turn have a better understanding of the overall process, and learn enough to eventually create something as close to original as I can get
Thanks a bunch!
PSS......If I can get some direction to guides or software you don't be a hardcore dev/modder/tech guru to understand that would be even better. I'm pretty good with software but some of these guides I read tend to skip steps. Sure they may be a small to a DEV but to the average guy it takes so much more time. I know adb for the most part and I'm not stupid (at least that's what I tell myself ;o), so I'll be able at some point figure it out no matter what.
Thanks a bunch!

Been searching around google and keep seeing stuff about rom kitchen. Are there specific ones? Or does one size fit all? Not a whole lot of info in the way of guides though.
Any help would be awesome either here or in a PM
Edit: nevermind. I guess the kitchen is only for themes?
Thanks
