Guest doomed151 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) "OMG IT'S THE LEAF ROM!" It's either you're excited, scared or have no idea about it. This is a ROM based on SE's official firmware (2.1.A.0.435 / 2.1 Eclair). Since I haven't seen any other ROMs like this (there are but they are heavily customized and themed), I might as well make one (like I did with the Wildfire). The main purpose of this ROM is to remove every unnecessary stuff and make it as bare as possible while retaining core functions to maximize speed and reduce memory usage. This results in a stable and a very snappy ROM (and I mean it, you'll be surprised).

Guest Z3US911 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) sorry to ask but what's the feature that we should use this ROM..?? Edited July 13, 2011 by Z3US911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest doomed151 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) sorry to ask but what's the feature that we should use this ROM..?? There's nothing really special about this ROM, just a modification of the stock ROM since it's too slow and sluggish. It's also if you like a speedy and a feature complete ROM (like a fully working camera etc.). Edited July 13, 2011 by doomed151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mdintx Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 The 2.1.A.0.435 firmware comes with the 2.1.54 baseband. Your screen shot shows 2.1.67 baseband. Did you flash 2.1.A.0.435 and then 2.1.67 baseband? I ask because I'm currently on 2.1.B.0.1 with 2.1.67 baseband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rendeiro2005 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Compression while archiving. Certain compression algortihms do work in xRecovery. ok but you can zip your files even more if you zipalign all you apk files (i´m sure you know that). Already done it, check out r2.
