BakaG2X 2011-11-20 (Final 2.3.3 Version - OR IS IT?)
---------
NOTE:
--
Here is a pretty clean and basic ROM based on the LG 2.3.3 OTA.
It is designed for those who want a good clean base to do their OWN addons to, while removing more bloat than was added.
This is the FINAL release of BakaG2X on 2.3.3. I will also release a 2.3.4 ROM, but it will be offered separately.
WiFi Calling is included as T-Mobile's signal is horrible. Thank you.
UPDATE NOTES:
This version cleans up a few things in the theme primarily, and sets a couple of tweaks that weren't done before. Not a big change over the previous version. The only build available comes with Wifi Calling. If you don't WANT wifi calling, you can simply remove Kineto.apk from the /system/app folder, and I recommend doing so if you don't use it.
The biggest theme change can be seen on the notification pulldown here, and I've updated that screenshot.
As before, bloat is available in the various bloat packs. If you have downloaded these before, you don't need to download them again, there have been no changes to those packs.
---------
CORE BUILD FEATURES:
11/20 - ICS Animations (capez) - tweaked animation speeds
11/20 - Remove Battery Full & Battery Low Warnings but I LEFT the last Shutdown Warning..
11/20 - init.rc support
11/20 - Increased SD Read Ahead Cache to 3072
11/20 - zipalign new apk's on bootup
11/20 - new quick panel icons from O2X (smaller / textless)
11/20 - shell utils: bash/nano/sysrw/sysro (if you don't know don't ask)
11/20 - a few theme tweaks (notification ticker, carrier text, etc)
11/17 - Three Flashable "Bloat" packs. You probably want at least one. SEE BELOW.
11/17 - Google Talk with Video
11/17 - Google Music (replaces stock Music.apk)
11/17 - Toggle 2G Settings & Widget (TheMasterBaron)
11/17 - Updated Google Apps as of 11-17.
11/17 - busybox & su binaries updated.
Reboot/Recovery Menu (untermensch / sicopat)
Quick Panel Settings (dreamsforgotten)
Accurate Battery Mod
Removed LG Update process (was running all the time using ~10-20mb)
Updated Google Apps as of 11/15
CM7 Apps: Torch, E-Mail, Keyboard, Calculator, Sound Recorder
GPS Tweaks for USA. SuplRootCert added.
Misc build.prop edits (for gps/modversion/adb persist notify off)
Adblock Host file.
Theme bits (startup/shutdown/Roboto font/CRT Off/Lockscreen, etc)
Of course it is fully zipaligned.
Note: All Bloat Packs install to user applications, so you can uninstall bits you don't want.
- This of course means you'd need to reflash Bloat packs if you happen to wipe.
BLOAT PACK 1: Recommended Bloat
Titanium Backup Free (it will detect if you have Pro key saved on SD)
MIUI Music
CM7 File Manager
Battery Calibration Tool
Wallpapers / Ringtones installed to SD for easy removal.
BLOAT PACK 2: Bloat T-Mobile Thinks You Want
AppPack, Books, T-Mobile-TV, Polaris Office, My Account,
Magic Smoke LWP, Visualizations LWP, Telenav, Zinio
Tegra Zone, NFS Shift, Nova.
Bloat Pack 3: Something I want and you probably don't.
Japanese Samsung iWnnIME Keyboard
KNOWN ISSUES - BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN NO SURPRISES
- Bluetooth may crash upon pairing. This is fixed in my 2.3.4 Rom, Tsugi.
- Kernels: I have tried both Faux123 and DragonG2X. They boot & Run, but have their own known issues. Cannot support them.
- Lockscreen lag. This is an issue with any LG based ROM. Some report it doesn't happen if you use certain 3rd party launchers.
- Toggle2G will ask for root permissions on bootup, and be denied automatically. You'll see a popup about that that goes away on its own. If you want to use the app, just open it manually and it will bring up the normal SuperUser prompt where you can approve superuser permissions.
- Stock Camera. If you want LG-Cam, you know how to get it.
- On the FIRST BOOT, the Media process will sometimes FC. It does not do this AFTER the first boot, and it doesn't always do it.

OVERCLOCK KERNEL: Faux123's 1.3 Kernel with FIXED BOOTUP TIME (Now boots up normally instead of rebuilding dalvik every time)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Flash the CORE DOWNLOAD first. Then flash any Bloat Packs you want. The Bloat Packs are not complete Roms. You must flash the CORE DOWNLOAD first, then select and flash any Bloat packs while you are still in CWM, or you can flash them later. Bloat packs don't wipe.
Looks legit, seems like you've got all the bases covered.
I'd like to try it this weekend, give you some feedback.
And thanks for the little tidbits of info, didn't know Wifi Calling sucked up battery even when not in use.

It was horrible on my Vibrant. I think it has improved on the G2X, but still not perfect. It receives notifications on all signal changes, even if you don't have it set up to use. I'm not sure if it does that if you're not on T-Mobile... best to remove the APK if you're not using it.
Going to give it a try
Good to see a new dev on here. I'm going to back up my rom and give this a shot. Will post results.
Looks very nice. I love the transparent notification pulldown and those quick panel icons look sick!

Did you check the md5 hash? It appears at least a couple others have successfully downloaded it, but I'll double check it.
When you say won't install - what happens?
In CWM it says "Installation Aborted" right after I try to start the install. I redownloaded a third time from another site using Firefox instead of Chrome and it worked. I like what I see so far! Thanks.

Its not the animation. I see that. Pretty cool. But the home screen comes on, then flashes black, then comes on again. Only happens on the home screen, no other screen. Oddly enough, when turn animations off it does not do it. But I run "some animation" and you did nice work yours. Hate to waste it. so far everything is very smooth and noticeably faster than im used to.

Ahh, the homescreen lag. Yeah, I've seen that on a number of stock-based Roms.. something is up with LG's code. I've seen it go away and then come back, no idea what causes it. Doesn't happen on Cm7/MIUI roms. But, I need everything to work, so I don't use those.

no rom that isn't based on cm7, will be able to run theme chooser.
Wow awesome rom!
A version of this based on 2.3.4 without wi-fi calling would be the perfect rom though. Please consider?
no kernel for 2.3.4 and he said you can uninstall wifi calling, if u dont need it.
Hey, thanks for answering my question directed at someone else!!
The reason I asked is because the base 2.3.4 is much faster and more stable and has gtalk video.

BrieflyGeek is proud to release Frost ROM 4.0! Frost ROM is a HTC sense ROM built off of the newest 3.70 OTA. This is a sense rom custom themed with aosp elements and apps. This means HDMI, 4G and FM radio will be fully functional. No, this ROM does not include the sense launcher, or widgets, and never will. The goal of this project is to get us as close to stock android as possible while still being functional and staying on a sense framework. This ROM improves the functionality of your phone, while removing bloat and increasing speed. I have started a new thread to reduce clutter as well as starting over with a new approach in terms of Frosts looks. Enjoy!

-personalize in settings force closes. This is because you don't have rosie guys.
-using update script still. had trouble with updater script so until I fix it im sticking with the update. This means this will work on all amon recoveries and all clockwork recoveries except for 3.0 which uses only updater scripts.
-make sure to update your radios

Cumulative ChangeLog
Fixes:
Constant sync fix
Some users have been reporting constant sync issues. This is because of removing friendstream and peep which HTC framework syncs to. To fix the issue, flash this, which will restore the apps. I've updated to a properly signed package, so it should flash fine for you.
To those of you with voicemail notification issues. There is also an app in the market (SPC - Super Private Conversation) which you can block numbers with. All you need to do is download the app, add 9016 to your block list, and bye bye voicemail notifications. This should not effect you receiving voicemails at all, since its simply blocking the number through which the sms notification comes. If you're bothered by this notification try it out.
Changelog:
Changelog has now moved off XDA. Cleaning up a bit. You can find previous changelogs here.
FROST F.A.Q
This is a spot for frequently asked questions about Frost ROM. Please read the FAQ before asking your questions, as they might be answered. This will be updated with new FAQ once they come up.
Q: Does 4G, HDMI out and FM radio work on this rom?
A: Yes, all should be working.
Q: Apps are missing!!?
A: I have removed a lot of apps from the stock build. All can be found in the downloadable file called "removed apps"
Q: I still have the HTC in call screen, slide to answer
A: Correct, this rom is still a htc sense rom. These things are tricky to change as they are cooked into the actual base of the rom. For now, this is how its going to be.
Q: Will a alternate theme work on this rom?
A: Certainly, just remember I have made many edits to the framework which the theme has the potential to replace. Always nandroid. I have included some themes specifically compatible with the rom and will continue to support more.
Q: Help! I can't download apps from the market!?
A: This sometimes happens for one reason or another. If you have issues downloading from the market, open settings>applications>market and clear your market data. Then reboot. Should solve any market problems/slowness.
Q: Does this rom support a2sd?
A: Yes, since 2.1. It requires an ext partition on your sd card.
Q: Options in the "personalize" category in settings force close when trying to select them. (home wallpaper, scenes)
A: This is not a bug. This feature is alongside htcs launcher. These options WILL NOT work.

Ur the man...
Once I'm able to get netarchys new kernel downloaded I'll try it out and let you guys know. The kernels are universal tho, so if you flash one, make sure to flash the no havs and it will keep frosts ramdisk intact.
Edit: 4.2 added to add-ons, post 3. If anyone else tests it, let me know your results. Thanks!
I just want to confirm. I only need to do a full wipe when changing major (2-3, 3-4) versions and not the minor 3.0-3.1 versions, correct?
The email app isn't working with my yahoo. Is there anyway to use the HTC email app
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
No sir, as long as you wiped from 2+ to 3+ you should be good, as that is when the new build was released.
Oh, and I removed htc news from this one.. but if you flash over you will still have it. Not a big deal tho, if you like it, keep it. If not, titanium it.

Second question. Is the MattedBlue theme available yet for 3.1? The description still says 2.0+, but I didn't think it worked for 3.0 builds, since you changed quite a bit of the underlying framework.

No, it probably won't. I was hoping the creator would port it by now but no dice. I'll try n get to that soon as I know some of you guys liked the themes.
Next release in line is AOSP, then matted. I just gotta study for a bit.. haha
Basically this is as close to CM6 as we're gonna get while still having full functionality, right?
aosp keyboard
hey guys how can i change the keyboard, i tried downloading the remove apk but link is working. thanks in advance!!
Alright everyone, Here is my newest creation, Senseless AOSP Themed, It is 100% Stable. This ROM gives a complete look AND feel of an aosp rom while still keeping the awesome aspects of sense like the sense camera, sense messaging, and sense dialer. Its also much easier on the RAM usage as well.

It disturbs me when Cooks call their rom Non Sense or Sense Less, yet they still leave at least 1 Sense item in the Rom. If you were willing to recook your ROM without the sense lock screen I would be willing to give you a mirror off my colocated server.
Well thanks but no thanks. Im fine with multiupload. And i kept the lockscreen FOR A REASON. Thats the best aspect of the new 3.0 sense. Duh. I dont know where u get off calling me a cook. If you check my Rom i compiled 12 apks from aosp source code. So you can keep your opinions to your self.

The lockscreen sucks. I might agree with you if it was the customizable version but the doubleshot version is lame.
Ok. Well please test this version for Me. I will change the lockscreen to aosp if that is the demand.

I personally love double shot screen lock a lot more then the AOSP one, and the HTC Sensation (3.0) one.
Reason being, its simple, I don't need apps on my locks screen. I don't see the point of it, I might as well not have a lock screen if I'm always needing to access my apps.
This is of course a personal thing, but its slightly a gimmick, I just want to slide unlock and call it good. If the feature was there, I wouldn't complain, but I'm not begging to have it either.
Also to note, I much prefer this stripped down version of sense a lot more than the full blown version. Its faster and does not slow down over time like I have noticed with the full version. Downloadable themes would be nice though.
And while I'm at it, I don't like how many shortcuts are on this phone to do the exact same things, like the notification bar Quick Settings, and the Personalize menu. Too many routes to get to the same places.
Downloading to test now. Will report back shortly.
In all honesty thanks for developing and getting the community open to roms. Love to check xda and not see a bunch of "when are we getting roms" threads.
Thank you. Let me know how you like it.

Sorry I didn't mean to rub anyone the wrong way.
I thought cooks were anyone who puts together custom roms. I am just not a fan of The sense 3.0 lock screen, that is it. If you were to make your Rom without the Sense lock screen then maybe offer a CWM update for just the lock screen for people who want that, I think your ROM would cater to everyone. As it is I am still waiting on my 4G slide to arrive.

There's a reason they're called shortcuts. Because they take fewer steps to get there. If I get an email its quicker to slide a gmail icon and get there than unlock then go into apps and open gmail. Same with the quick settings. If I want to turn on wifi its just much faster than hitting menu then settings the wireless settings. I always thought that shortcuts were self-explanatory as to why they exist.
Oh got ya. No cooks are people who take people roms throw them in Rom kitchen and do little mods. Dont get me wrong this is cooked but there are compiled parts as well so i guess u can call it half baked.

flashed it, could only get back to you now (wanted to mess around with it a little bit). it doesn't wanna sync my contacts from google, and gapps process keeps closing. don't know what to make of that lol.
love the launcher though.
I like the lock ring, and am interested in hearing others feedback about this rom. Thanks for putting it out there, I still haven't mustered the courage to s-off and root my phone.

Sorry I didn't mean to rub anyone the wrong way.
I thought cooks were anyone who puts together custom roms. I am just not a fan of The sense 3.0 lock screen, that is it. If you were to make your Rom without the Sense lock screen then maybe offer a CWM update for just the lock screen for people who want that, I think your ROM would cater to everyone. As it is I am still waiting on my 4G slide to arrive.

I'm 99% sure that if you use root explorer to remove HTCLockscreen.apk from the system/apps folder it'll revert to the stock android lockscreen. Problem solved! You can download this ROM and delete the HTCLockscreen apk and you'll be golden.
I too like the lock ring. I find the sensation's lock ring with shortcuts to be kind of gimmicy to be honest.
Is this a true Sense-less rom? I installed Tasteless Venom, and while I love it, when trying to connect a Wii controller to it, it still says the phone is running HTC Sense, so it won't work.
I'm a heavy gamer and emulator user (major reason why I got the phone ), and being able to connect a Wii controller or PS3 Controller is a MAJOR thing for me..
No this still is a sense based rom. He just deleted some sense apk's.

Same problem here with the gapps FC, did you get it resolved. tried redoing everything 2x. I might get VTLlauncher and try that on here.

- How to check this MD5 Or SHA-1 numbers? -
*Get this program here , and install it on your PC, after you done that, you are ready to go, you won't have any icon in the desktop or something like that, to use it, go to the ROM and right click it, then click properties and on top click file hashes and it will load the numbers in a little box, then after done, put any of this 2 numbers i provided in the bar that will be almost at the bottom, then hit compare, if you have a green check you good to go, if not you will have to redownload the ROM and check it again. Its really needed because if you get a bad download then you will suffer issues with the ROM, also in some cases it wont even flash so you see how important is to check this numbers. Hope you dont find it difficult to do and do it.

nice job
let the flashing begin. thanks for your hard work melvin
Good job melvin
Looking forward to this. I love CM7 but I know your previous Beast ROM was excellent even with the Sense base. Now that you are creating a new version based off AOSP I'm sure it will give CM7 a run for it's money.
Ohhh was waiting for this one..

Love your roms Mel! Thank you for all your work.
About this one;
"...Wi-Fi Calling (process com.android.kineto) has blablabla..." pops up on first boot... left it alone for more than ten minutes.
reboot, (insanely fast boot, btw) and it pops up again.
I remove wi-fi calling because I'm one of the rare ones that does not need it, so no prob for me.
I also use Launcher Pro instead. the Beast really flies with that.
Thanks again! and keep up the excellent work!

plz correct this post
I've been using LorD ClockaN's ROM for a long time now I'm a big fan of his work and effort that he's put into it, however.. a 'lite' version sounds great to me!
My layout on my phone, the way I customize it, is the exact same as whats in your ROM description. 3 home pages, no download tab in apps, the ringtones and notification etc... Thats all music to my ears brotha'! I hope he doesn't mind me using yours from now on, after all I now no longer have to change things after first boot Welcome to the scene haerigrek and thanks for making the world a better place.

Just installed the rom, so far so good. Runs smooth, as to expected since the base rom you use. Would like to know if you have any tweaks coming in next versions?
Keep up the good work!
Edit:
Just noticed the mail app is missing, on purpose?
Google search is missing: using the soft button doesn't work, adding the quick search widget doesn't work either.

Yes I'm using only the Gmail so the stock email app is gone. The search button may not work. As I deleted GoogleQuickSearch, there is no search application. I will look into that and if necessary the app will be back. I never used it so I didn't even notice.
For future releases I'm planning on even more set customization. I started deleting languages. In next release the apex launcher will be english only (or if requested maybe some other languages). I am also waiting for some faster launcher to appear. I like Apex a lot, it reminds me of ADW but with all the customization options it tends to slow down after some time. I was thinking about replacing the stock browser since there are some problems with it but Chrome isn't ready and I don't want to impose any other browser on you guys + 7.5 is on its way and the issues with the browser should be fixed by then.
I would like to ask which battery icon would you guys like me to leave. I deleted all of them which ended up with an error mentioned in the first post. I am willing to bring one back but I need to know which one will be the happiest choice for you. After all I am sharing this so you can be happier Cheers
I would suggest just a percentage (in numbers, nothing flashy)
Thanks for your effort - running smoothly at moment (apart from the problems you've pointed out yourself)
Look forward to next update

Thanks for support but I'm not developing, I'm merely modifying a great ROM to make it lighter to save space and maybe make the ROM run quicker.
It would be nice if you could refresh screenshots. I don't know how rest, but i like to see pictures of rom i am going to flash ;]
Btw. On first look, it seems quite nice.
This ROM looks like a cool idea! I just had a suggestion, I don't know if its in your "philosophy" of the ROM but wouldn't it be better if you left a little more stuff/everything in and let people choose what to keep or remove through Aroma.
For instance you can chose your ringtone at the start and not have extra ones wasting space or some people might want the stock sms and others might just prefer one from the play store.
Just my 2 cents
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
For the most part, ICS/JB is a user interface change. Pleasant looking menus with a cool blue color. There are quite a few options out there to give your G2X the look/feel of ICS/JB but I had my eye on efficiency.
The Ice10 Theme and Holo apps are easy on the battery and use little additional CPU. Of course, if you increase cache sizes and use fancy transitions YMMV. But I'm quite happy with my ICS/JB themed phone.
1. Start with the latest CM7 Nightly. I don't know if this works with other ROMs, but it should. GB7.2 is recommended.
2. DO A NANDROID BACKUP
3. Install the ICE10 Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003484
. . This gives you some of the ICS/JB look/feel.
. . Put the Ice10.apk on your SD Card, click to install. Then start the Theme Chooser app, select Ice10 and click Apply.
. . If you get a theme error that you are missing assets for your screen size, just click Apply Anyway. Reboot phone.
4. Install Holo Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher
. .Holo Launcher on XDA
. .Holo Launcher is a brilliant app that gives you the ICS app drawer, screens, and menus. The screenshots don't
. .do it justice, it looks even better than that!
5. Install Holo Locker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
. .Holo Locker on XDA
. .This gives you the ICS lock screen!
For the Ice10 Theme, the G2X resolution is already 240DPI so no changes are needed.
I paid for Holo Launcher Plus because the full ICS/JB experience is well worth the $1.99. It includes additional transitions and improvements. Holo Launcher is insanely customizable! The dock is scrollable and can have up to 10 icons. The Desktop and Drawer each have settings for the "scrolling cache", which is none, Low quality, Normal quality, and High quality. All this really means is the higher the quality, the more RAM it uses to make the transitions faster and smoother You can also change the desktop and app drawer grid size so you can fit a hell of a lot more apps on your screen.
For both Holo apps, I recommend going into the Settings and disabling Auto check for Updates and Auto Report. I don't like my apps checking for updates in the background, uses battery and CPU.
The Ice10 theme XDA thread contains wonderful info on final mods you can make to truly have the complete and total ICS/JB look/feel. Keep in mind that isn't a G2X thread so some of the mods, like the final Menu mods, are phone and ROM specific, so someone would have to make those additional mods specific for the G2X and specific ROM.
The below screenshots are for my CM7 Nightly ROM. Notice how Holo Launcher gives you a dramatic difference in the Settings. The Menu button is also different and the menu options are completely customizable.
Sorry for the lo-res Starship Enterprise wallpaper but it was a camera photo taken of the TV screen some days ago. Zooming in lost lots of resolution.
This is really a fantastic mod. I have all the user interface benefits of ICS/JB while having a totally operational phone with HW acceleration. I really don't need or don't care about using any other ROM at this point, although I'm waiting for Mazout's next kernel.
Thanks to EricTheLuminant for pointing me in this direction.
Remember to THANK ME if you appreciate this!
Thanks I'll probably try the theme later tonight.
Two quick questions: what does your notification center look like? And can you pull down the notification center from the lock screen?
That makes it really easy to check my texts if its in my shirt pocket.

Yes, you can pull down the notification bar from the lock screen. I just tested it on my phone, I didn't even know ICS could do that!
With the above mods notification bar looks like a cross between ICS and GB. It can be modded to look exactly like ICS/JB.
I see you are enterprising on the theme and guide I mentioned earlier! This is good, but you are missing some vital elements that can make CM7 even more ICS/JB like.
Using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363239, you'll find many more options. If you are experienced enough or willing to read instructions carefully, you can also use the ACpatcher software to custom mod several apps and the framework to increase the experience. It's very technical, and I don't have the willpower to walk through each and every step.
However, I have made some patches already based on the 2013-03-01 cm7 nightly. I'll see if I can upload them for you guys to give it a whirl. They add ics style notifications, transitions, and phone. See the screenshots attached.

I took a quick look. My focus is on stability and performance, and some of the mod apps mentioned in that thread have huge RAM usage, crash often, and/or have more negative than positive reviews, including the status bar apps.
The Holo Locker lock screen is much better than the GB lock screen. It's easier to use. The only thing I miss is being able to change from ring to vibrate to silent from the lock screen.
Holo Launcher makes the entire experience much more pleasant. It only uses 38MB of RAM.
The Ice10 theme from what I can see uses minimal RAM.
Oh of course. I'm not talking about the RAM using apps, nor do I use any of them...I'm talking about themeing and replacing the framework and phone app to better suit ICS/JB style. That status bar image is completely stock, as is the phone.
These don't affect battery, merely the look.
Download the patches I have made from my dropbox and put them on your sd card.

These patches were made based on the 2013-03-01 CM7.2 Nightly, and I do not know if they will work for older versions or other roms. They are made specifically to work with the Ice10 theme. It is important that these are flashed in the correct order.
1. In CM recovery, make a nandroid backup (although you can also flash the undo.zip files in case of failure. They will restore the original unmodified apps, and you should only need to flash the update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-undo.zip)
2. Select mounts and storage
3. Select mount /system
4. First Flash update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip
5. Second Flash update-cwm-JBPhone-pach.zip
6. Last Flash update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot (will take a few more minutes than usual to rebuild the cache)
Afterwards, you should notice a few things. Your status bar, notifications, font, phone, etc. will be themed more properly to ICS/JB. Good luck!
thanks
Thank to both of you. Till now i have been using ics theme on ADW launcher. Many key components were not themed to ics. Hope to get it sorted now.
Thanks again.

Install Holo Launcher and you'll think your phone came from heaven.

Eric, you are going to have to tell us EXACTLY what your patches include. I don't install anything blind.
That would help wouldn't it?
Inside update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip:
You'll find theme modifications to the system apps bluetooth.apk, deskclock.apk, downloadprovider.apk, music.apk, phone.apk, systemUI.apk. These will further theme the system apps to the color and style of ICS/JB.
framework-res.apk is also modified to add ICS/JB transition animations, as well as ICS/JB themed notifications and status bar.
If you look at the images I posted earlier, you'll notice that the status bar notifications have that little square on the left, in the manner of ICS.
Inside update-cwm-JBPhone-patch.zip,
you'll find another phone.apk, framework-res.apk. This must be flashed after the first patch, as it will overwrite the the previous ones. This will give your phone app a more ICS/JB style look as well. See screenshots from earlier.
The last patch, update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip, merely adds the ICS roboto font across your device.
The undo-patches simply return the themed apps back to the original CM7 stock ones. Is it imperative that the theme patches are flashed correctly in the instructions mentioned previously if you wish to use them.
Will the patches work with Hellfire rom?
Wow. Very very cool, Eric.
What if I only want the settings mod?

Also, I don't know if these patches work with Hellfire. You could give it a go and let us know!

Will flash them today and let you know.

Got it! IT WORKS!
However, the headings ("Wireless and Networks", "Interface", etc) aren't the nice cool blue color. How do I get that?
BTW, if anyone is having problems copying settings.apk into system/root using ES file Explorer, after you click "Mount File System (mount /system as writable)", you need to close ES, then restart.
It has to do with the parameters set by the Ice10 theme. This is probably out of our control, unless someone edits the theme file itself to change the codes and such. Way out of my ability, anyways.

It's just a theme change. You shouldn't lose anything. Why, is there some tweak needed to play that game?
