First of all, this rom couldn't have been made without a few people I'd like to mention.
::Tools: MisterJp, CopsFrance, Teoami, Bepe, Ervius, No2Chem, Da_G, rkrishnan2012, WoZZer
::Tests: workingman, rkrishnan2012, dustinmcd, phanishashank, philrocksgca, jesse_g, sseymour, GuardianUSMC and so many more
::Misc: rickou26 for Qvga Taskbar.
Thanks to them. Forgive me if I forgot somebody.


ROM Information:
::Based on latest stable WM6.5 available for LG : CE 5.2.21815, build 21815.5.0.50 (15 June 2009)
::Based on official LG 10x for Modem/OEM/Drivers part

This is the 1st cooked rom for Incite, and I don't even own that phone, so please, be indulgent.

The philosophy behind this ROM is to have a small/optimized OS that could be easily personnalized. That's why I tried to clean most of AT&T stuff and only include small apps that don't evolve so much. Thanks to UC compliancy, all you have to do is to follow this tutorial to have your favorite apps automatically installed at first boot. For those who prefer a zero effort Out Of the Box Experience, have a look at my own KS20 Uc Package (apps are not up to date, it needs more work, but it's a good start. It's at the end of 1st post.). If you build one and want to share (only free apps, please), contact me and I'll update this post.


Don't ask list:

    * Publish the kitchen so that anybody can have fun bricking its phone

It should be done during next week.

    * Remove the 6 additional programs I added. Believe me, everybody will need them one day or another. Furthermore, you won't gain any single byte if I remove them (until someone releases an fixed flash.bin creator that dynamically changes partition size during rom build)

    * If you want any software that I removed from official rom, download that original v10i OEMMISC dump. You should easily find what you're looking for, and if you want to share, just build a cab package and post it on xda



Features:
Removed:

    * NetCF2.0
    * Office One Note Mobile
    * Sample Music
    * Autoupdate
    * Catalog
    * Welcome Center
    * Voice Command
    * Remote Desktop Mobile
    * Transcriber

    * LG Java Mobile
    * Mobile Zip
    * AT&T GPS
    * AT&s Games & Java apps
    * MusicID
    * NetFront Browser
    * Picsel Viewer
    * PSNote
    * Sprite Backup
    * Startup & Shutdown animations
    * Oz Instant Messenger
    * Pandora
    * XM Radio
    * XPressMail
    * Links to buy online stuff...


Included:

    * Microsoft Office 6.1
    * NetCf3.7


Added:

    * Total Commander 2.5
    * FdcSoft Pim Backup 2.8
    * FdcSoft Task Manager 3.1 (including registry editor)
    * Esmertec JBed 20090217
    * Pocket Rar
    * SPB Calc


Tweaks:

    * Various registry tweaks and optimizations



Known issues:

    * xCite 2b : None I'm aware of
    * xCite 3 : If you enable accelerometer, phone may freeze from time to time (display isn't refreshed anymore) (hence it's been disabled by default)
    * xCite 3 : WMPlayer might not be able to read all video formats (just use coreplayer or tcpmp if you need to)
    * xCite 3 : this is not an issue but I know I'll have questions about it : yes, there is still a wm6.1 boot screen. It can't be changed for now, but I can assure you the rom is full wm6.5.


Donators:
Your donation is a strong incentive to continue my work.
If you find it useful, please consider making a PayPal donation (any amount is greatly appreciated).

Thanks a lot for your support.

Upgrade Instructions:
The rom you downloaded is a 7Z archive (like rar or zip), you need 7Zip, winrar or any recent (-2 years old) archiver to extract it.
Then, you'll need rkrishnan2012's "Hydros Rom Updater" (check download links) (or just copy rom.dz into your LGmobileAx folder if you flashed your phone at least once on your OS).

WELCOME PEOPLE! How's everybody doing tonight?
I have a huge tutorial to write out on my latest app of the week (well, its actually small but it's always good to have motivation). I call it the Hydros Rom Updater and it will be included in the latest Activesync replacement which is called Hydros Sync Center. Anyway...
The download for the file will be given by Workingman *clap *clap

1. you take the file you downoad from spocky's link and you extract it. It will contain a folder which includes two applications in it. One of them is called Setup.exe and the other is called Hydros Sync Center Incitaller.msi.

2. You run the Setup.exe and you wait for it to ask you to install .net framework 4.0. You allow the program to install 4.0 and then it will continue installing with the app.

3. You will see a folder in your start menu called Hydros and a file there called "Shortcut to Hydros" and you click on that once (almost there)

4. Download a copy of spocky's rom from here and extract it to a regular rom.dz file

5. Go back to Hydros and click "Browse" and search for the file you just downloaded called "Rom.dz"

6. once you select it, press ok and press go. This may take a minute because it is copying files to the application data folder (based on how fast your hard disk is)

7. In the LG Updater utility, press "Update Now" and if you don't have a driver installed, you press "Update Drivers"

8. You wait for the installation to successfully complete and then you quit out of everything and enjoy your brand new sexy rom.

If you have any questions, please post them at my thread (which is also stickied)

Warning: This will not work if the primary partition of the user's data is not in drive "C:\" and it has not yet been tested on operating systems other than Vista. But i did compile it to run on vista. so it is designed for it but not tested on it.

You gotta wait for workingman to post the application link and the rom link on this thread. I will tell him to do it both at the same time when the rom releases tonight.

Also, Take note that this simple task took like 100 lines of vb.net code so i would appreciate if you head over to my other thread for results on my newest and most important application which i will release next week. (Also please take the survey provided)

Many thanks to WorkingMan for helping me test, setup a thread, and setup an official site for my application which i will reveal later. I also thank him for knowing so many influential people. If it wasn't for him, I would not have been able to distribute my app so widely. For more informtion, check your e-mail because he sent a sitewide notification about my app. This has been authorized by Lg Incite, the official administrator of the site because I volunteered to give him some money as a donation for the site.  Smiley

EDIT: I have been reported that there is an error which comes up during the installation. This is harmless and so just press continue. It will go without those files (which you don't need to know why they are there) Cool
An official Hydros Product
Here is also a detailed application feature list
(also thanks to workingman for compiling)

I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I have not other choice.

When i run setup it says i need 4.0 but then it directs me to a webpage to download 3.5 or something and theres a link in the top right for 4.0.  How am I supposed to install 4.0 without downloading the files directly from microsoft.

The program IS NOT automatically downloading/installing 4.0

thanks

You are correct. Spocky did all the work creating the rom. Some of us were merely testers, but workingman and rkrishnan2012 spent a lot of time developing a way to distribute and install the rom. Donations would be a great way to thank them for their work.

No problem. Don't worry about getting me a free app. I wasn't even planning on using it, but for those that are they should give some sort of donation for your work.
