[ROM] Redemption Rom v2.0.2

As far as speed this Rom performs better than stock mainly due to the zip-aligned apk's which optimizes ram usage and the removal of what most would consider the stock sense bloat. The included Spare Parts app lets you speed up window transitions so things open almost instantly. Using this Rom in conjunction with SetCPU to enable "OnDemand" as well as set up profiles to underclock the processor when the screen is off will allow you to get much better battery life which is already good out of the box.

I am getting quadrant score of 1250-1350 with this ROM and Kingxklick BFS #4 with setcpu to ondemand with 245 min and 1075 max.

Is this about what you are getting?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it a try some time this week. :D

There was a time when Quadrant score used to mean something to me however those days are gone. That's not to say that Quadrant doesn't tell you something about certain aspects of a Rom's performance but honestly I've run Roms that have produced scores over 1800 on the incredible but the UI felt "choppy" so high Quadrant score doesn't = Smooth. Trust me when I tell you that you won't notice a difference in your day to day use with a Quadrant score of 100 - 150 points less than another Rom it's all about quality in the build. It's best to stick to the stock kernel as closely as possible especially if it's a good one which it is in this case. This minimizes problems you could run into down the road. Just my $.02 take it for what you will :)
 
I have what is probably a stupid / noob question. I have loaded the ROM. I'm up and running fine. I prefer the stock HTC music app. I know that the answer to this is to adb push the apk from that removed app list to the system/app folder. My problem is that adb push won't work for me. I go to cmd, adb shell, and type

adb push HtcMusic.apk /system/app

and it says sh: adb: command not found



Anybody got any ideas? I have tried searching and I just haven't found an answer. Thanks in advance!

Ok here are the steps to get you rockin to your favorite tunes:
1. Place HtcMusic.apk and com.htc.MusicWidget.apk in your sdk "tools" folder
2. Boot into Recovery
3. Under mounts and storage select "mount system"
4. adb push HtcMusic.apk /system/app (now hit enter)
5. adb push com.htc.MusicWidget.apk /system/app (now hit enter)

If you want to remove Music Mod

6. adb shell
7. rm /system/app/MusicMod.apk (now hit enter)
8. Go back to the phone and select "unmount system"
9. Back to the main menu and select (reboot)
10. Rock out to your tunes with the HTC music player :)
 
I am watching this ROM closely and am looking forward to seeing it in RM. I ran Virtuous for a few weeks and really wanted to like it. I noticed alot of buggy things going on (lagging, browser closes/freezing, calls not going thru). So I am back to SR 3.1 now. Has anyone left SR for RR, if so, what are your thoughts?

Keep up the good fight Lou!

You, sir, are a saint and scholar. Thanks! I've never understood how I perform those commands, and now I understand. I have to be in clockwork's system mount. Thanks a ton!

Redemption 2.0.3 will be out VERY shortly I would suggest waiting for that release I've included some nice features.
 
so I got the adb push to work, and the Music app works, but the widget doesn't show up as available in the widget list. Any ideas?
