v9.0 is a major breakthrough in many cases.
>> Introducing a new era of ROMs
Darky's ROM v9.0 is here.
I worked together with some very creative minds - let me present you Hristo "Ficeto" Gochkov, Andrea "DarkMan" D'Alessandro and Marco "Markoid" Barbera.
Ficeto is responsible for the new Script Engine since v9.0.
DarkMan & Markoid coded the DarkyROM Configurator in the Market.
DarkMan is also the new hoster for www.darkyrom.com - Thanks for this!
So, before you start saying "Thanks darkyy", thank these awesome men.
General Note
Besides the usual bugfixes [we fixed almost every known bug] and new features [a lot of new ones, every single one is tested several times!], Ficeto created a whole new Script Engine, which allows you to customize the ROM before it gets flashed. Read below for the explaination & documentation.
Completely New Script Engine [by Ficeto]
The most important and cool part about this new script is that you need to download a single file and chose the way you want it installed and which applications you want included. Surely this will lead to many more goodies, which will include multi-device support, more kernel choices, more modem, themes and anything else you can think of. It’s a kitchen in a ROM
How to customize the ROM before flashing
First, open the Market and download the DarkyROM Configurator App. Open the App and select the packages you want installed. If you are currently on Darky’s ROM and you are wondering if you should wipe your phone, now it’s a good time
>> v9.0 will clear any problems you might have left from 8.x or earlier.
If you are already on Darky’s and you remove apps through options before a no-wipe flash, apps that are not in /system (fonts and third-party) will not be deleted.
READ THIS - WIPE / NO-WIPE
The ROM itself will decide if it will wipe or not.
>> If you are NOT on Darky’s ROM, your data WILL BE WIPED, no matter what!
>> If you ARE on Darky’s ROM, your data will NOT be wiped, unless you tick 'Wipe' in the Darky App.
>> If you do NOT use any of the options bellow, ALL applications will be installed (just like the ROMs before)
You don't have to use the Darky App to install the ROM. It's optional.
