First and foremost I take no credit for anything contained in this ROM. I have taken bits and pieces from various ROMs I like and rolled my own.
The base is Binny's stock ROM.
LauncherPro from unrevolved by ozzeh
Has Both HTC and Android Music apps (in case someone, like me, prefers the old one)
Rosie and All Rosie widgets removed
WiFi Tether
TouchFlo port from Samsung included (choose launcher for yourself)
Again, all credit to the Devs listed above. I am no Dev myself, only a chef cooking up something to my own liking and thought I would share.
Anybody wanna test for me?
Download here
Installation...
Copy TouchOfPhotons-v1.zip to your SDCARD and reboot into Clockwork recovery. Then Install Zip and Choose Zip from SDCARD.
Be sure to take a Nandroid Backup and WIPE FIRST!
So far everything seems to be working fine for me...WiFi, BT, etc...
I would recommend Hydra's Undervolt with Wireless-N kernel here. This just needs to be installed like any other zip using Clockwork recovery.
Also I would recommend the MultiTouch Keyboard DANESHM90 managed to pull from the Droid-X here. This can be installed with Astro or an equivalent of your choice.
Thanks to all in the community. I am glad to be a part of it!
UPDATE.... Kernel link above may not work consistently so I am attaching the zip.
For those requesting it, I am attaching the TouchFlo Launcher. Just install via Astro or similar.
UPDATE - 7/7 --- Thanks to bowtiedeuce for pointing out the fix scuccia found for the Facebook constantly syncing issue. I am attaching that patch here (full credit to him, of course). Just install it like any other zip from your sdcard using clockworkmod recovery (install over your current setup, no wipe) and it should resolve the sync issue. Future releases will not have this bug.
No screenshots? It seems like most of the android roms have no screen shots.
I'm downloading it right now. I'll post feedback

Yeah,
Sorry about that. Was headed out the door and wanted to get something up for you guys before I left.
Anywhoo, here are some screenies. You can see I'm using TouchFlo primarily.
Oh, and the MT keyboard I provided a link to...
BTW....
The Live Wallpapers work great with the TouchFlo launcher.
I think I'm going to have to try ,this sounds great thank you looks good to
The rom is actually really nice an smooth. But its just not for me. I do recommend to at least try this rom. Good work man keep up the great work.

I'm loving this ROM! Just got everything set up on it...
Couple things though... I'm having a hard time pushing a custom bootanimation.zip to /data/local
I had no problem doing it on a just a plain rooted Inc, but I can't with this...
Another would be requesting to get the 2.1 lock screen and not the HTC one... Thanks! Awesome work, keep it up!
each time i download this file ROM and i try to install it, i get an error when it is trying to write to BOOT that says E: No Room Left on Device, failure at Line 394. Has anyone else seen this and if so, have they figured out how to fix it? I have wiped the boot partition and completely formated my whole system. Still the same error, i also redownloaded the file 3 times and still the same issue.

i am not really a nUbcake either...so that is making me kinda mad. I even messed with the update-script file to see if i could comment out the line that was erroring out, but it was to no avail. Could someone post a nandroid backup of the rom that i could try?
to clarify it is giving me an error saying "Error writing to Boot"
EDIT: got it working by removing the write_raw_image line at the end of the update_script

That's strange. I'm getting an error trying to use that kernel link on my PC but if I click it on my phone (using the XDA app) it downloads. I'll try to get a mirror up.
EDIT - Actually just attached the kernel to the OP.

Using this ROM with the Droid-X boot up sound and animation and the undervolt-N kernel. Very nice! My favorite so far and I have tried them all.
Thanks photonmedia!
Im had the same issue as ejlax did. However after the reboot everything seems to be there. Is there anything that didnt install after that error?

IF anything, I would says possibly the kernel (based on the error he says he got), but I would recommend you use the kernel attached in the OP anyway, so....
Really I don't know why you two are getting those errors and not the others who are testing, though. You are wiping before you install, right? Always the best practice: Nandroid Backup + Wipe.
I've been using it for most of the day - no issues. Phone, Google Voice, SIP phone, BT - looks flawless, so far...

Hey,

This will root your phone with no button pressing. No need for a PC.

NOTE: The auto-reboot will not work. it seems only system apps can reboot the phone. So for now.
Here is the work around
Code:
Just power off... Reboot into recovery...
Hold vol + and vol -
Hold power
Wait for vibrant
Release power
Reinstall packages

Confirmed working! Thanks to themykel.
Thanks to all for bug testing. This should be the final version. No need to use astro or anything to move files.
Thanks!

Tried it 3 times before giving up and rooting the old fashioned way..with the update.zip
For some reason it kept putting the files on the sd card instead of internal.

Koush is going to add the root method to clockwork in the extras folder. It would be awesome if koush added a root option for as many phones as possible. That would make clockwork the ultimate android app.

Thank you. I finally got this to work as far as I have the Super User app installed on the phone. I thought if I had this then the phone is def rooted yet when I try to delete ATT bloat ware it still won't let me.
Is this only because its still running the factory 2.2 froyo. Will the full SU benefits be there one I flash whatever ROM he wants on Monday ?
And what is the best rom for the cap ? I have the Eris running a GB rom that I love but I'm sure this phone is different
go to the market, download titanium backup. use that to uninstall, unwanted bloat...you cannot use the native package installer/uninstaller to remove system apps.

The Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta.

Thanks all. I don't think it's going to matter since when I reboot into recovery I do not have the option to "flash zip from sd card". I got it rooted, installed rom manager and flashed clockwork but to no avail. This all seemed to go so smoothly when I did our eris phones.
I have his "wireless tether" working and was able to delete a ton of ATT bloatware but I think he's going to stuck with the stock ATT 2.2 ota rom.

As you have already been told in this thread you need to make sure you have modified your 3e recovery to allow cwm to work.

Check out TRusello's signature "3e recovery fix" also after you boot into recovery from rom manager you have to "reinstall packages" twice, then you will see all the options...

you need to reinstall packages in recovery twice.
also you need the to fix 3e recovery before you can flash the cwm .zip.
look @ the stickies in the general section. there is a thread on working around 3e recovery. it contains a link to a batch script that'll fix it
there is also odin(tethered) that can replace the kernel with one that has cwm baked in
and sgs kernel flasher in the market that can do the same from the phone as long as it's rooted.
bit.ly is great...
3e fix in my sig 100 hits to-date (dirty version)
3e fix in the 3e thread 1 hit (cleaner version)

Works fine, but I am having trouble with the calendar. I was having trouble finding the right one and it foobared the app. It is no longer in the installed list and not executable anymore.
ANY help would be appreciated. Freaking out a bit as I like my calendar. Gahhh!

I flashed it as an OTA upgrade (well, using the Samsung crap). I don't have the original flash file.
I've tried to execute the .apk and it goes and looks like it is trying to install and then says (with a check mark mind you) Application not installed. How awesome is that.
Any other ideas?

I think if you flash the firmware via Odin without repartitioning, you'll get the Samsung apps reinstalled and user data not wiped

Well, I tried that. I found a file in what I think is a compatible firmware and pulled the TouchWizCalendar.apk on to my sdcard and copied it to the /system/app folder. Doesn't seem to work. It's like it's not there. I tried to rename the TouchWizCalendar.odex file to TouchWizCalendar.odex.bak too without success.
Is there something that I'm missing?
Perhaps someone with 2.3.3 and Titanium Backup could backup the app and send it to me? TB can restore an app that isn't on the system, right?

V6 was never really rooted so a ROM wasn't made for it. I would say just update the phone to the latest update and then root and flash Broken out.
