TheROM V4
by CPCookieMan

YOU DO NOT NEED TO OVERCLOCK THIS ROM! It runs very speedy at 1.0GHz, and you save a lot of battery life. Don't believe me? Try it out.

There was a slight glitch in this build and the Android Market was not included. Installing the latest GAPPS fixes this.

Themers! If you would like to create a theme for this ROM or a themed rom using this base, either PM me or drop me a line at
paul @cpcookieman. com (take out the spaces first)


Disclaimer: This ROM comes with no warranty. I am not responsible for any thing that happens to your phone or you when using this rom. Standard stuff for any rom. If you understand this, read on.

What this ROM is:
A super slim, super fast Gingerbread AOSP ROM that is geared towards the best performance you can get, while not sacrificing battery life.

What this ROM is NOT: A Sense ROM or a themed ROM. You get very close to a vanilla experience without any themes or Sense to slow it down.

What about bugs? This ROM has been in private testing for about a month now and is virtually bug free. The LTE, Wifi, GPS, Camera, BT, etc. all work perfectly. The only real "bug" is that at the bottom of the Settings application it says About OMGB. I had to borrow the Settings.apk from OMGB. The correct settings application will be included in V5 if all goes well.

How to install this ROM:
  1. Flash the 2.11 leak CDMA radio and LTE combo from here.
  2. Wipe Data and Cache
  3. Install the ROM from Recovery
  4. Install the latest GAPPS from here.
  5. Go through the setup wizard
  6. Allow your phone 30 minutes to an hour to sync and create all caches for maximum performance.
  7. ENJOY

Changelog:
V4: First public release
V3: Private Beta
V2: Private Alpha
V1: Private Alpha

First! I will flash when I get my phone back from the repair shop! Can I use this without the newest leak?
Will be definitely trying this out once in a 4G zone to download it! Thanks CP!

EDIT: I saw that you are using LauncherPro...is that built in? I prefer the Gingerbread Launcher.

Launcher Pro is built in instead of the Gingerbread Launcher, sorry. Soon I will have some add-on zip files if people want things like that. I'll be sure to make a GB Launcher add-on.

If you're referring to the radio, TheROM has been tested and confirmed working with radios from leak: 1.68 1.70 2.10 2.11.

Its cool I'll just download one from the market
i'm not really a radio buff so I will just ask, if it will work with the Official MR2 radio?

I'm not quite sure which radio the MR2 is, so here's a link to all of the available radios. The newest radio and LTE combo (RUU 2.11) works best with this rom.

Your link is absolutely slammed...
It seems to be working well for me... This is Android 2.3.4, so no Gtalk Video Chat. I started testing this build before Android 2.3.5.
SUB-dawg said:
can we flash this over CM7?
Probably, but I always recommend a full wipe when coming to a new ROM.

If this rom is 2.3.4 and CM7 is 2.3.5 I would wipe
Bring on the gingerbread stock launcher. Thanks

How good was the battery life during testing?
Many. You ain't kidding. This thing is stripped down. 71mb. No theme chooser, no toggle in the pulldown. Nice change. It is sure fast though.

Since overclocking is not needed, battery life has been better in my testing.
