I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the HTC Vision (this is the version based on the Desire Z ROM, featuring HTC Sense)! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
Remember that if you use this ROM, you do so entirely at your own risk!!
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed (Clockwork Mod).
THIS ROM SHOULD RUN ON BOTH THE G2 AND THE DESIRE Z!
Features
Repack of the 1.72.405.3 ROM
Pre-rooted with su and Superuser Permissions by ChainsDD
Insecure boot image (ro.secure=0)
[*]Built, tweaked and massaged with the MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
New busybox with Droid Explorer support
MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
terminfo and settings in boot.img to allow nano etc. use

Upgrading
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM (unless you are coming from a non-'Sense' ROM), however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.

DOWNLOAD
Thanks
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not implying in any way that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).
And finally...
Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in download topic at MoDaCo.
Enjoy!

I guess Ill be the first to indulge...installing now, thanks for an easy flashable version of Desire Z sense, appreciate all the hard work in making my G2 the ****!
BTW - does the Desire Z OC kernel module floating around here work for this rom?

Came from Evil's ROM.
No wipe was required, kernel not overclocked, needs patience when flashing and firstboot, but overall seems to be working fine.

The location app, which didn't work correctly in the other Rom I tried, seems to be missing.

a) Where is said kitchen?
b) Can the kitchen include the 1.5GHz kernel and the "interactive" governor SetCPU?

quick question... would I be able to push lights.vision.ko to the appropriate location to get the trackpad to light up for notifications? i MUCH prefer that over the speaker light led

The locations option somehow got missed out of the kitchen!
I've updated it, and will update the prebake next time i'm properly online (visiting family for the weekend now!)

just flashed with BB and is working perfect so far @ 1.497 ghz

Help... when I first loaded up this rom, the first thing i did was check to make sure the .com button worked... and it did.
Now that everything is done installing, my .com key no longer works, what happened?

Wi-Fi Hotspot
I really like the ROM so far, but I can't seem to get the Wi-Fi Hotspot working. I had success with the hotspot on the G2's version of stock android, but no luck with HTC Sense.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?
EDIT: Tried it again and it works fine. You just can't have the USB cable plugged into a computer and have WiFi Hotspot on. Might have something to do with the tethering.
I have used the FM radio successfully and have paired with a bluetooth headset. Everything seems to work great on this.

I downloade your Rom on setup I can't find English ( united states) option just a bunch of other countries is it not available other than that great Rom real smooth and also will Bacon bits kernel work on your Rom thanks in advance

Works fine on eVil's Sense. Does the FM work on this one?

I can't do Bluetooth device pairing. I can turn it on but can't pair it with bluetooth hands free device.
pls advice if someone else has this problem

Paired OK here?
P

thanks for the universal g2/z rom.
I hope all follow your good example and do the same.
And we can get rid of one of these forums either dz or g2.
Question do DZ owners just need a proper kernel to run a g2 ready rom?
Or can the just flash and go?

How do I install visionary its not letting me do it on astro

[ROM] [Dec 13, 2012] [4.1.2] CM10 Nightly by WFLSL from fengbao.com

Foreword
Disclaimer: I take no credit for this rom. This CM10 Nightly was developed by a developer named "WFLSL" who posted his work on a Chinese forum called "fengbao.com" (Original link: http://bbs.fengbao.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1219102)
Warning: I am not responsible for any outcomes made by this rom. Install this rom only if you agree that flashing a non-stock rom could result in bricking your your phone, meaning that your phone may be permanently non-functional.
WFLSL, the developer of this rom has been maintaining continuous works in making CM10 available for all LU6200 users, but because he only posted his work on that Chinese website, not many people from other countries know about it.
It is virtually impossible for users who do not speak Chinese to register and use Fengbao.com. Even if you somehow figure out how to register, you won't be able to continue because you can't get the download link which is only revealed upon posting a comment. To post a comment on Fengbao.com, you need to enter a captcha code in Chinese. Obviously most of international users do not know how to read and type in Chinese.
That's why I decided to start this thread to keep you guys with up-to-date CM10 available for our device.
Again I take no credit for this rom. I am not a native Chinese speaker. I am a Korean who just luckily know how to read the Chinese captcha code and enter it. All the thanks should be forwarded to "wflsl" for his great work.
Please note that I may not be able to update this thread as often as you all want me to, but I will try my best.
If there's any problem, moderators can delete this thread. It's 100% okay with me.
CM10 Nightlies for LU6200
This is CM10 Nightly created for LU6200 by WFLSL. (http://bbs.fengbao.com/thread-1181592-1-1.html) My guess is (because I do not fully understand the original post in the Chinese forum) that WFLSL made this rom by porting CM10 for p930. I believe he mentioned that the change log basically follows that of p930.
There are no special modifications or special features other than CM10 stock features. However, I made very simple and minor modifications to this rom 1) to make it more stockish and 2) to fill things that are missing.
1. removed Chinese keyboard.
2. removed Chinese-localized Root Explorer
3. removed an app called 'Rebooter'
4. modified build.prop to change the default language and location to English and US. WFLSL made this default since the December build.
5. removed a script that reboots the device after installing the rom.
6. removed unnecessary server lists in hosts file under system\etc\. This caused issues in using Play Store and some Google services.
7. modified [init.qcom.post_boot.sh] under system\etc\. to make mpdecision and thermald work on LU6200. See the following codes. Texts in red has been added. WFLSL made this default since the December build. So this change is now there already.
Code:
# Post-setup services
case "$target" in
"msm8660_surf" | "msm8660_csfb" | "i_atnt" | "hdk_8x60" | "i_skt" | "i_dcm" | "p930" | "su640"[B][COLOR="Red"] | "lu6200"[/COLOR][/B])
start mpdecision
start thermald
;;
esac
Also in the same file, I changed the following value from 0 to 1. When this is 0, the back light of the touch buttons (menu / home / back) does not work. If you prefer to keep them off, open up this file using Root Explorer or the likes and change the value back to 0.
Code:
echo [B][COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR][/B] > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
Installation Instruction
1. Boot into CWM.
2. Back up your current rom.
3. Full wipe. (If you are coming from a previous version of this rom, just wipe cache and dalvik cache.)
4. Install the downloaded rom.
5. Install Gapps : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
6. Reboot

Change Log
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#p930/cm10
Issues
- If you find your home button does not work after flashing a new rom, you probably flashed wrong Gapps. (Flashing Gapps for Android 4.2 will cause this.) To solve this problem, flash the correct one linked above. If this doesn't fix, factory-wipe your phone, format system, then flash CM10 and gapps.
- Some reported (including myself) that recording 1080p with stock camera is problematic.
Again, I am not the developer of this rom. If you find a bug and can speak Chinese, please visit the original developer's page and report there. My support will be very very limited because I am not a developer at all. (Original link: http://bbs.fengbao.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1219102)

Thank You
Thanks for your great effort mate in bringing this out for us.

Thank you for sharing this and thank you for the changes you made. Those are the usual changes I do in all the ROMs I use. Thank you for saving me the trouble.

And thank you too, and to be honest (and not hopefully not being offensive) Optibean has too many other things you have added (like HoloLauncher), some users might not want it and don't want to mess with /system/apps/. So a clean ROM like this one might actually help.

Thank You

Thank you for the support and suggestions. By the way OptiBean will be release in three diff. files:
1st - A clean slate ROM
2nd- A Medium ROM [Minimal Add-ons] Around 200mb size
2nd - Heavy ROM [Lots of System Add-on Apps]
That will be its next release.
Holo launcher was removed and replaced by the latest Trebuchet launcher and some optimization has been made with the ROM.
Hope you will like the next release of Optibean.
PS: Sorry for my bad english

Try to turn off wifi when you are not using it. I get average of 1.5% drain if I don't use the phone.
If I leave the wifi on, I also get bad battery life.

If you encounter some ghosting effect (graphic issues) in games like Dead Trigger, try to check "Disable HW overlays" option in Developer options (Settings). this solved my graphic issues.
Everything else is smooth and fast. Battery drains a little faster but tolerable. All in all a great ROM.
The best part is, the original poster gives a full detail of what he changed and never claims the ROM as his release and gives full credit to original developer.
This just replaced MIUI on my phone.

I use profile apps to automatically disablle/enable wifi/bluetooth/gps/etc based on time/schedule.

Just posted 20121125 build. (Same minor modification applied.)
There seem to be very minor changes according to the change log. If you are happy with 1121 build, you can skip this one in my opinion.
One thing I did notice was that the original developer, WFLSL, inserted a new 'hosts' file under system / etc folder. There're a bunch of server lists for Google services, and I am not sure what they are for. (These weren't there in 1121 build.) If you encounter any problem while web browsing or using any Google services, open 'hosts' file and delete everything after the first 2 lines as shown below, save the changes, and reboot.
Code:
#local
127.0.0.1 localhost

i just flashed version 20121125
only 1 problem is play store doesn't load any images T T
try to uninstall latest version 3.10.x the one that come along with this rom
to be older version of 3.9.x but still the same T T
Edited: just notice pins2u said above...i changed hosts file as you said and it's okay now TQ

I think it's not because of the play store, but the file called "hosts" located in system/etc.
Please follow the procedure below.
Open the file with root explorer. You will see bunches of lines.
Delete everything except for the first 2 lines.
It should have only 2 lines as shown below.
Code:
#local
127.0.0.1 localhost
Save it and reboot.
See if it helps. I haven't test the rom myself yet, but will report back when I do.

[ROM][DaCustom] UltiMOD 10 [Fast][CM10-Based]

Hi Everyone!
You probably haven't heard much from me at all except the occasional question or post to help someone with a basic problem. Well I have chosen to make a foray into the ROM development zone, and I bring to you my first ROM that I can UltiMOD 10.
UltiMOD 10 is based on CyanogenMOD 10 (Jellybean), but it has had a few things modified, particularly in the apps section and the sounds/tones folders.
Here is a list of things I have modified for you to enjoy:
APPS:
Fused GAPPS into the ROM (So my ROM is Newb-Friendly)
Removed SIM Toolkit, Development and Other APKs that just junk up space
Removed Superuser, added SuperSU by ChainFire
AUDIO:
Removed all Alarm tones (EXCEPT CYANALARM.OGG)
Removed all Notification tones (EXCEPT CYANMAIL.OGG, CYANMESSAGE.OGG and CYANPING.OGG)
Removed all Ringtones (EXCEPT CYANTONE.OGG)
Added MIUI User Interface tones (I enjoy these)
BUILD.PROP
Edited to match my computer and read the name of my rom instead of the original tag.
Please note that this ROM has been made based on what I use my phone for and what I need, and so updates will come as I add more features or optimizations to my phone.
These things are what I have now added to the ROM for you to enjoy:
- Beats Audio
- Astro File Manager
- Nova Launcher instead of Trebuchet
- Google Music instead of Apollo
- Nexus 7 Boot animation in place of CyanogenMOD rings
- Notes Application
BUGS:
Whatever bugs are in CM10 ALPHA 2 by ModPunk
Dont ask me to try and fix a bug, do it yourself or wait until ModPunk releases a new CM10... then I will update everything.
Thank you all, and enjoy.
IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS OR SPOT SOMETHING I COULD FIX OR IMPROVE, PLEASE PM ME THE DETAILS AND I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. ALSO, CREDIT IS GIVEN TO ALL DEVELOPERS WHOSE RESOURCES I HAVE USED, PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF I AM USING SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T BE!!!

[ROM] *UNOFFICIAL* ShinyROM [AOSP 4.4.2] KOT49H (No mods, completely stock!)

ORIGINAL CREDIT TO BALDWINGUY77 OVER ON ROOTZWIKI. CHECK OUT THE ORIGINALi: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36706-ro...a-like-stock-android-442-kot49h/#entry1031982
I'm only port to maguro.
Is a port from original rom no have base maguro only changes for use GSM networks
This ROM is Android Kitkat 4.4.2, build KOT49H. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working. I'll go into detail about those things below, but basically I just want the ROM to make your phone feel stable and shiny and new as if it has just received a new OTA update. That being said, it's clear that the landscape of Nexus devices is changing as new ones are released. Therefore, the other primary goal of this ROM is to keep our Galaxy Nexus as close to the modern Nexus design as possible. This means that I will also add in features that will still be stock, but will also make our phones as close to a current Nexus as possible.
As for how I handle the forum side of things, I'm always open to comments, questions, suggestions, requests, etc. I know that most of those things will often be in the form of criticism, but it's okay, I think I can handle it That being said, I do also have a life and am a college student, so I may not get to come on here ALL the time. I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.2, build KOT49H
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
(De)Odexed
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off
Updated frequently
Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)
Bluetooth streaming
Google account sign-in and auto-restore of apps and settings
Google Wallet
Location Services (pretty fast GPS lock in my area also)
Believe it or not, December is still a month!
Photosphere
Android beam
Photo editing with the new filters
Email
Exchange support
Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)
More things that aren't important enough to mention here - check out the changelog for a more comprehensive list
Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT - Note: I use recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro)

By the way TWRP works with this rom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's Superuser Root ZIP, the radios installation ZIP, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. Flash the ROM
OPTIONALS:
11. Root: If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
12. Mod's: If you like any mod you can install zip now
13. Change kernel: U can change aosp stock kernel. Tiny Kernel, Fancy Kernel, Dirty V, Franco Kernel, Mpokang kernel.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!

No GApps "Add-on" Zip
Some people don't like the way ShinyROM includes its own GApps. Flash this zip directly after the ROM and it will strip out most of the included GApps so that you may use the preferred GApps of your choosing. This will leave the core GApps (Store, Services, etc.) as well any others required for basic functionality (Keyboard, Camera, Launcher, Dialer, etc.) since there are none of the AOSP counterparts included.

This is something what I wanted. Love stock(ish) ROMs.

Drive disabled here, please upload to Dropbox (direct link support) or any other mirror Thanks.

Could someone upload to XDA or Mega?

That's what we have been waiting for! Although Google left us, I wanted our device to be up to date with "stock" ROM. Thanks!

Amazing! Been hoping someone would do this for awhile! Really looking forward to trying it out!
It mentions SystemUI and framework-res mods over stock; what are they, like completing the white KitKat look? (I hope so!)

Hi! Thanks for such an early build! Can You please Mirror the files? I'm not able to download, even after unrestricting the links.

billchen1977 have done a better job. You can check his post. You should use his ROM for the moment
I just saw that he releases some part of the code (patches to apply). So I will take a view to find what was wrong with mine.
I will continue to work on my ROM to add some features that I need and maybe some others (for example by removing security layer on Exchange, Recovery support, Superuser etc).

Yes the lightbar works fine on my ROM. I continue my work to fix gsm internet. I have a lot of hope to fix that but I just need more time .

Camera and FMradio fixed (reworks done based on @billchen1977 source).
I'm still waiting to fix gsm internet to publish this new build. (and I need to review few patches that introduce a regression on menu display. I have some shadow artifact around popup menu. Not a big problem to revert back)

Yes I have a kernel on it but my build contains the support of FOTAkernel partition to load the recovery that you want
You can flash TWRP or CWM and the version that you want without any dependency with the ROM developer choice.
the FOTAkernel is located on /dev/block/mmcblk0p11. So flash what you want on it. (dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11)
Example with TWRP 2.8.0.1 : http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/144 (version 2.8.1.0 doesn't work).
You can flash a kernel with Xperia S + CWM support too.

GSM internet fixed with b03.

Release of the b03.
GSM internet fixed (this was a kernel issue with dhcp issue fixed by @billchen1977)
FMradio is now working (I missed a patch and I switched to FM_TUNER. this is more clean)
Video recording and media playback fixed (thanks to @billchen1977)
popup menu with shadow issue fixed
There should have some other issues but at this time that seems usable. I will run on it longer tomorrow.
next to come on b04:
remove of the security layer for Exchange Email application (no pin, erase etc)
update display code just to keep the same AOSP structure
some status bar improvement if possible

Woow. Good work man. I'm at work right now and will flash and try it later..
And i think you should message a moderator here to move the thread to development section. Other users should try this rom and since you're the dev, users can give feedback, etc.
Thanks.
