Geek 4 Me is proud to release:

Fresh Rom 2.1.1 by flipz

NOTE: A lot of the changes / tweaks / fixes / modifications that were done by myself and jschisurf will need to be redone. While we could likely just drop them in and have them work, there is a chance that the code on some of the affected files has changed which means we would revert back to old files by just dropping it in. So be patient as the new mods roll in. :)  This includes the broken vanilla lock screen, livewallpapers in rosie, etc.

NOTE 2: It’s coming up a couple times so I’ll answer it here. Fresh Rom = stable, HTC-based rom. Fresh Toast = dev/experimental rom that includes overclocking and all the fun goodies that come with a custom kernel. They are 2 separate roms.

Changes / features:

What to expect / how to flash it / READ THIS :

  • Download and copy the zip to the root of your sdcard
  • Reboot to RA and do a data wipe / factory reset (REQUIRED)
  • You may also need to wipe sd:ext if you are having troubles booting.
  • If you are running Fresh Toast and ext4 then you’ll need to partition back to ext3 if you want to use apps2sd
  • Pick flash zip from sdcard and select fresh-cdma-hero-2.1.zip
  • After it finishes flashing reboot. Expect the first boot up to take a while.
  • If it freezes during first boot then you were likely using a2sd from another rom. Unfortunately during earlier 2.x roms there were a few versions of a2sd floating around and now that is going to cause problems. If this happens to you (and you already did a factory reset like you should have) then you will need to boot in to RA and go to wipe and then Wipe SD:Ext Partition. This will delete all apps off your sdcard. You will want to reflash the rom if you have to do this or else you will be missing some apps from the rom.
  • When the phone boots and comes to the user setup screen I would recommend syncing your google account right away. I noticed an old bug creep back in where it gets stuck during sync. This seems to be avoided by adding your google account during setup.
Update: Fresh Rom 2.1 had a broken accelerometer. Sorry guys! Fixed now in 2.1.1.

Ignore the Ev icon in some of those screenshots, they are from the last release.  :)  It looks like the one in the last screenshot.
