[ROM] Sholes.info team 2.0.1 ROM 1.0 RC1 !

[shantanu]

Introducing the brand spankin' all-new Sholes.info ROM 1.0-RC1!!!

This combines the effort of all Sholes.info members including Berzerker, Birdman (of alldroid), and SirPsychoS. It's been a few days in the working with existing ROM features + adding/upgrading other things in order to complete what our view was to be when it would be completed. This is the outcome

What is included in this ROM:

-Brand new selection menu! The new version of sprecovery (0.99.2b) provides the ability to have a selection menu of what you want to install, so no need for multiple versions!
-OPTIMIZATION (all APKs and JARs in /system are fully optimized, to provide vast speed improvements)
-2.1 Keyboard which includes Voice Dictation (ported by Berzerker)
-2.1 Gallery app (credit to [mbm])

-2.1 Clock app (replaces AlarmClock and the Multimedia Dock) (credit to jinx10000)
-2.1 News/Weather Widget
-2.1 Launcher (v1.1a (adds stability fixes)) (credit to xeudoxus)
-2.0.1 Launcher (v1.1a (slightly smaller and includes auto-rotate w/ keyboard closed)) (credit to xeudoxus)
-Multi-Touch Browser (reverted back to stable lib file to remove bugs) (credit to t3hSteve)
-Brightness hack (includes app to edit brightness levels (credit to xeudous and jinx10000)
-YouTube HQ default hack
-Swype Keyboard
-WiFi-Tethering (additional setup required, instructions provided)
-Ability to remove potentially unwanted apps.

Side-note: If you're without adb and you're trying to update your recovery image, you can download the newest .img, use ASTRO to place it in the root /sdcard directory, then use a terminal emulator like ConnectBot, or something else of the like to run:

$ su
# /data/local/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-0.99.2b.img
(replace '/data/local/' with wherever your copy of flash_image is installed, or if you don't have a copy, see the Sholes.info SPRecovery installation guide.

Then reboot into recovery mode and you should be good.

How to get WiFi Tethering working:

1. Open the Wireless Tethering app from the application list
2. Click Close or Donate, if you wish. It will then say "Binaries and post-installation files installed!"
3. Close the app, it won't work, so don't bother trying to enable it yet.
4. Download this tether file http://www.sholes.info/wp-content/up.../01/tether.txt , save it to your desktop and rename it to just tether without the .txt part.
5. Rename the file on the phone in /data/data/android.tether/bin/ from tether to tether.orig
6. Push the new tether file you downloaded into /data/data/android.tether/bin/
7. Type the following command into a terminal or a command prompt.

Code:
adb shell chmod 700 /data/data/android.tether/bin/tether /data/data/android.tether/bin/tether.orig

8. You're done! You can now go into the settings and change SSID, Channel, etc. (WEP Doesn't work at this time).
That's it!
Credit also goes to SirPsychoS for his recovery image.
