I have been asked by the developer to start a Kindle Fire thread as we have just worked together on porting his theme to our great device. I have built the latest port with his help so I am able to answer most questions. As BroBot updates his I will port the build to the Kindle.

If your kindle for any reason goes into a bootloop just flash your ROM again without wipeing anything and it will go back to how you had it
BroBot175 works hard to develop these themes so please offer a donation to help support his development costs.
Hi I built it for CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RCO-Blaze-KANG Rom which I found to be the best working rom for the kindle fire. Flash the rom then the theme in Clockwork I have included a link to the rom below.
Keith
If you're coming from a STOCK ROM then use this version to flash. It will wipe the data and cache partitions (as well as the system partition) as a part of the flash process which should get rid of any FC issues.
http://www.mediafire.com/?7afc1173l7yc0qv
If you're upgrading from an EXISTING CM7 install then use this ROM instead. This one will NOT wipe the cache and data partitions which should mean that you can upgrade from one version of CM7 to another without losing any of your existing data (or that's at least the idea)

Once the system has been flashed you need to set a lot of bits up, takes about an hour from here
Firstly follow all the all the steps on BroBots175 site from Step 3 http://brobot175.co.uk/MetroUI/Setup3.html and I promise it will work.
In short you need to download and copy the MetroUITiles and paste it on your SDCARD, then restore the ADW settings with the "adw_settings" file in the download. Then install an app called "Desktop VisualizeR" from Google Play on your device and and set up Desktop VisualizeR with the settings BroBot175 recommends. Once all this is done you need to make a load of widgets that becomes each of the individual tile. Over and over again.
I hope this helps.

yeah i understand I have to make those things but my confusion is coming from what does flashing that zip do like if nothing changes then what's the point in flashing that zip? Also the first link provided can I use that to flash and start over like factory wipe then flash that zip in first link?

To answer the first question; Ah I understand mate, I didn't get it last night until I worked on the Kindle port today. When building the theme it uses the roms system files and frameworks to allow extra option to appear in the options once you start adding the tiles (Widgets) and allows the system to align the tiles together correctly.
Second question; yes mate thats what I did after I tested it and knew it worked.
EDIT CORRECTION FROM DEVELOPER - Sorry!
If you look at my screenshots the bar at the bottom has metro style home back and other icons and the notification pannel also
you change these images by flashing the theme as these images are in the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk
I got lazy and didnt do it because for cm7 I had to rename all the images so they would work with your device.
With what youve done you dont really need to flash the zip for it to work unless you just want to install desktop visualised.
were working on a fix
Yo I need you to port this to the original rom I requested because the rom you ported this to doesn't let me play games like grand theft auto and order and chaos or at least I can't find it I'm the market which I assume means that the build.prop or something on kangs rom that isnt set up like the cm7 bare bones.
Yes mate, I am running all these games, send me your email and ill email you the build.prop with instructions its a five minute easy fix. I play order and chaos perfect on this Rom downloaded from Google play. This is why my signature says i have a gt p1000 ie Samsung galaxy tab.
I have nearly finished making a games tile set and the order and chaos one looks mint ill send it aswell.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
Só this is just a theme, the live tiles is made using desktop visualizer right
Correct the reason there is a flash install process is to change the theme of the cm7 UI to match the metro style and add special Widgets. You could keep the ui the same and make the tiles by adding the metroui folder and using visualized app so you don't need to flash.

Hi mate I have sent you an email but for anyone else email me and ill send you the build.prop file. If you already have one just follow these steps.
To get this to work for me I didn't overwrite the file as it does not work for some reason.
1st – Backup your original build.prop in the /system folder to somewhere but keep a copy there still as we are going to edit this.
2nd – Copy my build.prop to your sdcard
3rd – Long press on my file and open and edit in text editor or equivalent, select all text and copy.
4th – Exit the file and navigate to your /system folder activate rw access at the top of the screen so you can edit the file.
5th – Open your build.prop and select all text then delete, once deleted paste the text from my build.prop file you should now see the device name says a GT 1000 etc
6th – Close the file and it should ask you to save it, disable rw back to ro and exit file browser.
7th – Reboot your device and once your back in go to menu/settings/about and see if your device name has changed to the GT 1000 if it has exit and open google play type in "gameloft" and all the games should now show and allow you to install.
If this helps you mate please thank me on the forum, I am new to the forum and I am trying to build my credibility up.
Take Care

So, if I'm from another CM7 I would have to flash the second ROM and then follow brobots 's instruction then I would have to do the theming myself!
And can you send the build.prop file, I saw your instruction involving copy & pasting text, why can't we move the whole build.prop file to the system directory, then we don't have to do it too long and confusing, my email is: [email protected]
Thanks A lot for this theme, and I thanked you on both of your post, expect to see another awesome update soon.
PS: Does this work with CM9, if it's not, could you consider porting it!

There are a few ways you can look at this, if you just want to add the Metro them icons to your screen just download the image pack in BroBots175 step 3 and install appalizer then set it up. the only reason to flash the rom is to give your cm7 interface buttons the metro look (i.e. back button, menu button etc), however you don't need to.
I don't know why the build.prop files does not work when you just overwrite the file? maybe it's signed in someway? I do know that it works in the way that I described so thats how I do it.
Tiles for apps and games.
Hi I have made a few tiles for games and apps that I use. I haven't followed the theme too much as I like to see the correct images on my games icons, but I have added a download link incase anyone wants them. I have put two pictures below so you can see them.

General Info
I do not have an Evo 4G to test this on, so I would appreciate it if someone could a.) alert me, preferably on twitter, when a new build is made, and b.) let me know if the theme I post here works.
This theme is extensive with over 2000 edited .png files and more than 35 .xml files.
There are no icons included with this theme. If you would like icons, then you can use ADW.Launcher or ADW EX download Minimalist - ADW Theme.
If you would like to donate to me for my work in this theme, then you can download the Donate version of the above mentioned theme. Search for "Minimalist Donate - ADW Theme" to find it.
If you would like to port this theme to any other device or use any part of it for your own doing, then you can download my images and edited .xml files from this post.
You do not have to ask me if you can port this or use any part of it. You do not have to credit me for any of my work in this theme.
I will not be checking this page frequently, but I will try to answer any questions posted here whenever I update the links. If you want a quicker answer, then I suggest saying something to me on Twitter (@david1171_).
This theme is for the official CM7 Nightly ROMs.
Theme Info
The widgets are transparent with white text. I recommend using a dark wallpaper.
The font included in the theme is the Ubuntu font.
If you are using Amon_RA's recovery and the theme is not applying after flashing, then you need to use clockwork recovery.

Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons - http://bit.ly/dVj33T
Updated 02-09-2011 to contain custom application icon on rotary lockscreen.
Install Instructions: PLEASE READ!!!
1. Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close
2. Press Unzip/Extract new theme
3. Navigate to where you have Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons.zip located
4. Select the file
5. Press close on the on the pop up that appears
6. Press Apply all!
7. It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
8. While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
9. The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
10. Everything should be applied now

I may have forgotten to add something when I was bulk building the themes, sorry about that. The Gingerbread release 7 (or any other number) is just the images, fonts, and .xml's (either hex edited or decompiled) that I use with this theme. It is there for people that want to either use my images, or port the theme for themselves or any devices that I don't do.
Would be great if you could port this to just use the new CM theme engine.
Will anyone who gives a hoot to answer my question please tell me how the theme is working? It doesnt change anything when I flash.

I opened up the file on my computer to make sure the apks are themed, and my images are in there. Unless someone else chimes in about wether or not it is working, I don't know what else to do. I'm sorry.
I'm using it on my phone. It's working just fine with CM7 build # 22. I did not clear davlick or data/cache. I just did a straight flash to #22 and let it boot. Then I went back to recovery and flashed the minimalist theme. Everything seems to be working just fine EXCEPT for the lockscreen. It's putting a horizontal bar at the very top of the screen. I think it's something to do with a recent change in the CM framework because the monochrome/lucid themes from the "CM7 Themes" thread do the same thing. I use widgetlocker anyway, but that's just something I noticed.
LOVE the look of this theme. I just wish I could get a battery percentage indicator for the top bar, then it'd be perfect. I might try seeing if I can find a work-around. Nice work, OP.
Updated to cm_supersonic_full-23.zip.
@ocelot4ark if the lockscreen is still messed up, can you tell how you have your lockscreen set up under cyanogenmod settings, and take a screen shot of it.
Updated to cm_supersonic_full-24.zip.
New button and textfield images, not a big difference but something I have wanted to get done for a while.
Fixed DeskClock time text issue in landscape
Added Morph to OP for lockscreen icons for those that do not like completely transparent lockscreen. Please read the instructions and do exactly as they say.
Edit1: Also, I believe with the next release, I am going to restructure the way the links are set up in the OP. As it stands right now, it is an ineffective model that takes up a lot of unnecessary space. As anyone who follows me on twitter knows, when I mention my updates on there, I just link to a folder on media that contains folders of each supported device, then in that folder are the theme files for each device. If I go to just having a link to that main folder containing all the sub folders like I do on twitter, then I do not have to go about updating the links in 9 different threads with each release, and I do not have a space for old download files, since they can be gotten from the same place as the current download file. I think this method will make for a less cluttered OP, and save time overall.

Music.apk is now from CM7 for full compatibility.
Removed Clockopia.ttf from /system/fonts/ as it caused text overlapping when now playing music text is shown on lockscreen.
After seeing Calkulin's EViO ROM with his full-color notification bar icons, I've decided to make my own in a standalone format to be used with most** ROMs.
I made serious effort to match the icons with their larger counterparts found throughout the stock HTC ROM (I run SprintLovers and am OCD about everything matching...). This is a continuous work in progress, subscribe to this thread for future updates.
There's a LOT more icons changed than shown here, but this should give you an idea.

The attached zip files are to be used with MetaMorph (download it from the market if you're not familiar), DO NOT try to flash them through recovery. I've separated the the core system files (framework, resources, settings) to ensure stable and consistent operation. Just download them and run them one by one through MetaMorph, your phone will most likely reboot after each (if it doesn't, do it manually to ensure a fresh starting point for the next MetaMorph).

**This is tested and works fine on SprintLovers, and other users have reported it also works fine with various other ROMs. However, I can't guarantee it will be the same for every individual combination of ROM/hacks/edits/etc. (there's just too many variables in most cases), so be smart and nandroid backup before you try it.

No problem...the signal bars are in the Resources file...just download it, open the zip, navigate to "com.htc.resources/res/drawable-hdpi" and delete whatever icons you don't want to change, then just run that modified zip file through MetaMorph
This is cool.. QUESTION: Does it require that I run each zip, or can I just run the ones I want to change? For example, can I only run the Colors Apps zip and be ok?

Are you guys using the free version of Metamorph? I just downloaded it and ran the coloredresources.zip. I applied all, and it said it was complete. It didn't auto-reboot, so I manually rebooted and nothing has changed. I then tried to run the coloredframework.zip and it's been about 5 minutes on the screen where the circle spins(showing activity) and it displays "Applying framework.res.apk theme 1 of 1... Any ideas why it's doing this?
If it helps, I'm running the latest Sprint Lovers ROM, HW003.

Strange...I'm running paid version of MetaMorph, but this ran fine on the free version as well...in the settings of MetaMorph, try setting the delay to 3000 (default), and then apply the zip again...it will take a while to apply Resources and Framework because there's a lot of icons to change and the more apps you've got running at the same time, the slower it will be...normal installation should only take a minute or 2 max...
Thanks again.. I didn't change anything(already had the default of 3000). I ran the Resources zip again and it auto-rebooted and the changes were successful. Same for the Colored Apps zip. I tried the Framework zip again and it still seemed to hang. I'll play around with it a few more times.
Awesome man. I'd like to include these in my rom possibly. I just don't want to include it until it's finished. When it's done, I'll definitely consider putting these in.

Strange, sorry to hear that...I don't have any experience with Fresh so I don't know if Fresh's native framework is different enough than SprintLovers to cause this...only thing I could think of is that my framework also includes slightly modified icons for JsChiSurf's drop-down widget control (forgot to mention that in my original post) but I wouldn't think that'd cause a bootloop? (you'd just have extra unused icons in your framework)
Might also be a bad upload/download?...I can re-post tonight and add checksums so you can verify.
I'm still somewhat new to dev work, so maybe someone with more experience could chime in...
I think I change my battery icon a while back from stock Fresh.
I am not sure what is in the Framework, I may just rip up the zip and take a look. Other ones seemed to work fine.
It was weird, its not really a bootloop, it just keeps playing my start animation over and over and wont actually boot. Tried wiping cache and dalvic, didn't help.
Good thing I took a backup

I think I change my battery icon a while back from stock Fresh.
I am not sure what is in the Framework, I may just rip up the zip and take a look. Other ones seemed to work fine.
It was weird, its not really a bootloop, it just keeps playing my start animation over and over and wont actually boot. Tried wiping cache and dalvic, didn't help.
Good thing I took a backup

Yeah, go ahead and hack away at the framework zip...maybe try deleting all but one icon or so and see if that will apply? Let me know if you find anything that I need to fix...I don't want to cause similar problems for everyone...

I believe you need to be deodex'ed to use this, but I'm not an expert...either nandroid backup and try it or do some more research (maybe a more knowledgeable dev can chime in?)...sorry for a wishy-washy answer, just being straight with you.

I have removed the downloads from my dropbox for the time being. However the final Hex unlock with RAZR soft keys are still available for download.

ICS Hexagon Accurate Battery Mod
Most recent screen shot. In the process of uploading this version now, will post a link if people like it. The
"grey" button is when you press it. That way you can tell when you press them.
Download the new version with RAZR soft keys here
Download to internal SD card, reboot into recovery, nandroid, flash.
Done. Enjoy
If anyone has any ideas I'm open to whatever, just let me know and I'll see what I can do!
v1
Initial Release
v2
Fixed 1 icon I missed, made it an "Easter Egg" see if you can find it. - As soon as its found I'll change it lol.
Added ICS sounds (Thanks Chrisrotolo)
Added different fonts (Thanks Chrisrotolo)
Added AppWidgetPicker - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
v3
Added new versions of lock screens.
v4
added 1% battery mod - hexagon unlock version only
fixed random images
cleaned up multiple images to try and reduce size
changed settings "look" to add some "color" - was tired of all grey - hexagon unlock version only
v5 - unreleased
v6
fixed the divider in the settings
changed the settings icons again, I will stick with these, I like them the most.
added back the ICS wifi indicator, this time it doesnt move when the data indicators come on, they dont 100% exactly match the battery color, but it doesnt bother me. If it does, I'll go back to stock, just let me know.
this has stock ICS colored soft keys, however if you select anything besides "screen capture" in the settings < quick launch , it will change to the magnification glass from my new soft keys. I use search. I am trying to get the creator to make me an icon from this set, he said he would get to it. might take some time, just deal with it for the time being
added the option for a new set of soft keys, remember dont use "screen capture" in the settings please.
might be a few other things, but mostly thats all.
for some reason this MIGHT remove your google accounts, just add them back it if does. I'm not sure why it does
v7
soft keys are now the same keys found on the droid RAZR(thanks @sonnysekhon), all colored blue
back to stock wifi icons, colored data indicators to match keys and battery
different battery icons(thanks @chrisrotolo)
Thats all for now.
I've got the Ninja theme from the tab 10.1 all ported over to my tab now, however I have not heard back from the creator of that theme, so I'm not sure he would want me to post it or not.
Looking good

I'm working on the quick settings as well. I will get to most of them by the end of the week I hope. Apparently everything is under the mpdi folders, not sure why but whatever.
The 10.1 buttons, home, back are to wide and overlap, so I'll have to resize them if I want to use them.
I will work on the accurate battery mod this week. I already know where all the images are, just need to find the xml files.

Thanks for the Mod but I would add in the original post that you should backup your SystemUI.apk file before you do this as this Mod will replace it. Can't remember the abd commands to back up a file but it is just as easy to make a copy using Root Explorer or other file manager with root access.

Unfortunately I've seen too many people not do a backup just because it wasn't in the instructions. Here's teh command for making a bakup copy of SystemUI.apk using adb.
cp SystemUI.apk SystemUI.bak
(This copies the original file and creates a file with the extention .bak)

Can you not just copy from the system?
cp /system/app/SystemUI.apk /sdcard
That should work right? I always just use adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk and keep them on my PC, so never used busybox commands.
Thanks it looks great from the pics but I have lots to learn about adb.I'm a little familiarwith fastbooton my nexus s.ill wait for the flashable zip.thanks I'm happy we have a great dev on themes I hope we get lucky and get a great rom dev also

sneak peek teaser
Sneak peek at 3g ICS theme. only have systemui themed right now. Next are both frameworks(1000+ icons), then settings, and launcher, then phone. Then i'll probably theme the badic apps launcher icons. Will include ics clock font, but not roboto system font. I like the default dont on this device. Also some sounds and i will look into boot animation. I hope more people are interested in this than were on Dell streak 7
Thanks to antiochasylum for some icons.

Brain fart! Thanks for the hard work!!!!!
Btw, did you by chance fix the bug where the why logo shifts to the left slightly when the activity indicator for data transfer is on. Its not deal breaker, but it did bug me a bit.
Yes I did. I had never noticed that until the other day, So until I figure out why its doing that I went back to stock wifi indicator. Being Christmas I'm away for a few days and ill get the ICS wifi back in there once I get home.

This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, they change two lines in your build.prop file which you could easily edit yourself in seconds and maybe throw a keyboard in there to make it work better. It's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank. Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. we're calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.

20120819v1.991
Maintenance update, bugfixes and patches.
20120810v1.9.8alpha
Project butter recents in tabUI (2/2)
Quick access hybrid properties by longpressing a recent app
More refined hybrid algorithm to reveal more layout containers
TabletUI toggles
All recent cm merges (Trebuchet, googles 4.1.1 r4 with a whole bunch of fixes for memory leaks, etc)
20120806v1.9.7alpha
New option: "large" to trick an app thinking the device has a real big screen. some need it, like amazon kindle to jump into tabUI. some even react on it, gdrive will slightly adapt its layout - makes only sense if you give it a small dpi though.
The algorithm to extract the actual layout containers from apk files works more precise and can reveal more than before. there will still be a few apps left who do that layout stuff in java - we will add an override button for that, but in the meantime you can edit /system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf .layout=360 for phone-like UI, 600 for phablet, 720 = tablet, 1280 = super huge tablet
Several bugfixes from us and cm
CDMA SIM
20120723v1.9.5a - On Page 23
Finally hardware accelerated recents in TabUI, as fluid as ever. The ugly gradient is gone aswell
A clean backup properties file is shipped, you can make a full reset in the panel in case you lost it with all the settings you made
Force option can be activated in the panel, good for widget scaling
The DPI sliders in the panel read min/max props from properties.conf, define them as you like
TabUI Recents are back to a bigger size, this is temporary, i'll look for ways to port the phone implementation as project butter skipped the tabUI code
Cyanogenmod fixes
New GApps
20120723v1.9a / 1.9.1a - My edits are in RED
Newest CM10 patches (powertoggles for phoneUI, lockscreen options, etc,)
Definable number of notifications for navbar shaping
Hide clock wont cut it out of the notification center aswell
Lockscreen tutorial overlap *should* be fixed
Notificationcenter in TabUI has a draghandle like phablet and phone have
New GApps
Camera (very rough fix)
Panorama
Video Recording
Video Playback
YouTube (very rough fix) - I suggest starting out in landscape mode

Do I flash this using ODIN?
No. Use the custom recovery that's linked.
I still don't know how to install the ROM
Download the ROM, GApps, and recovery.img from the OP
Download and open the EZ recovery app from HERE
Select custom, then select the box with 3 dots... find the d2vzw_recovery.img you downloaded in step 1 part B., select flash, then Reboot Recovery
From CWM recovery, Perform a nandroid backup from the backup/restore menu
Wipe data/factory reset
Select install .zip from sd and install the rom you downloaded in step 1 part A.
Select install .zip from sd and install the gapps package you downloaded in step 1 part B.
Reboot

I'm in a bootloop. Help!
This is normal for now. The phone will reboot multiple times, but will get to the bootanimation and eventually boot up. Do not freak out.
Something went wrong! Can you help me?
I'd love to help you, but I need a little more information about your issue. You should provide us with information regarding what your issue causes and what you did before the issue started. However, before asking me and the community, ask yourself two simple questions:
Can I reproduce the error?
Have I looked for a solution?
If you answered "yes" to both of these questions and came up empty handed, then post it in the thread and it will be addressed. Even more helpful would be if you got a logcat. Like so:
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
OR (the better way so we dont have to keep downloading logs)
Code:
adb logcat
Paste the terminal output here (you don't need to register): http://pastebin.com/
Click "submit"
Share your link/logcat
When I use the camera the phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull...I thought it was fixed? (1.9.1a)
It is fixed. It's just a pretty hacky fix. To take a picture, you will have to tap the screen to focus the camera BEFORE taking the picture. If you just press the camera button, the phone will freeze.
Can you add *this* to the ROM?
Although I'm not obligated to add anything and everything to the ROM, I will do our best to supply your desires and live up to your expectations. Do not mistake this for a guarantee. I would like to do everything, but I may not be able to.
I'm experiencing some force closes, what gives?
Boot into recovery and fix permissions. Reboot.
Where can I go for information about the latest updates?
You can follow me on Twitter
Omgz, on-screen buttons! Can't wait to ditch this physical home key.
This Rom looks Awesome!!! Thank you for all the hard work. I am a noob when it comes to ADB , does anyone have a video that shows how to install this recovery and rom. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully you already have adb installed (I'm assuming you do). You are going to want to download the recovery.img beanstown106/Team Epic has provided us with and then move it into the directory where you have adb installed (usually in "platform-tools" or "tools" in the android-sdk). Then cd to that directory using terminal or cmd (depending on your OS).
It should look something like:
Code:
cd .../Desktop/android-sdk/platform-tools
Once you do that, then enter each of the above commands (in the OP) in descending order. When it finishes, you're done.
:highfive:
Im guessing we will have the same issues we are having with cm9/cm10? like camera and possible imei disappearing?

Use section 5 of my guide in sig...just replace links with this rom and gapps.
PureMotive, thanks alot for this! If you like copy my section 5 instructions to your op...it uses mmmeff's EZ recovery app to install recovery. I believe this will keep the "how do i install this" questions at bay since most dont understand adb. Thanks again for your work!!

Very cool boot animation. 4G is working really well for me. Very smooth rom. I have not experienced any bugs as of yet, but then again I've only been up for less than a hour.
Rom is running awsome so far!!
can someone check the camera and also wifi tether.
Basically this Rom will try to convert your phone into tablet and ended up getting tiny fonts!
Sent from my S3 using xda premium
The fonts are not really small on this by default. I kept the default setup and the fonts are close to stock size.
The camera froze on me after one picture. I got an "gallery not responding" error. I thought I read there was a fix if the gallery.apk was replaced.
THE OFFICIAL 4.1 UPDATE IS LIVE. GET IT HERE OR USE OTA UPDATER TO UPDATE!
The pictures may not be showing for a while, but the link will be working.
Well, here we are. One of the (in my opinion at least) most prestigious custom ROMs for the SK4G changing hands yet again. Now, before people come out and call me a ROM developer, I am FAR from any sort of developer(I can't code anything substantial. Only small things in bash, PHP, Ruby, and possibly Python). I'll gladly call myself a ROM maintainer, however. As my bio in my profile says, I'm a do-it-yourselfer. If I can't get it done myself without a minimal amount of headache/frustration, then is when I call on the aid of someone else.
Credits, of course, go to PDT(Platypus Dev Team for the new people) for the initial release of Glorious Overdose, Dr Honk for the Bali kernel, nxd for the latest Bali kernel build which removes the keylogger, TheLastSidekick for GOv3 and for allowing me to continue his continuation of the Glorious Overdose legacy, anyone who helped with GOv1 - GOv3, the devs of the apps I've included(CM based or stock), and lastly you, the end-user, who keeps this ROM alive with the feedback and ideas you give.
Using this ROM means you are responsible if you brick your device without checking mounts, so don't PM me whining that I owe you a new SK4G, because one, you voluntarily used it, and two, I simply do not have that kind of money to buy everyone who claims this ruined their only phone.
First time flashers: READ THIS NEXT SECTION CAREFULLY. PLEASE DON'T PM OR REPLY HERE SAYING LINDA KEEPS SAYING "Convert data partition, system not available...Convert system partition, system not available.". The only fix for this is to use ODIN or Heimdall One-Click to go back to stock and reflash using Orange CWM and making SURE your mounts look exactly like the section that speaks of Orange CWM.
Experienced Flashers: You already know the drill, but read ahead to double check.
To quote the thread from GOv3.3 on the mounts.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ANY BUGS, so I CAN ATTEMPT TO FIX THEM!
CHECK YOUR MOUNTS, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
Thanks to ayoteddy!

(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts

For those of you who use irssi on device(meaning you use the binary cross-compiled for ARM use), here's an easy fix if it isn't working for you.

If I don't reply to any questions here in a timely fashion, come find me on IRC in #GloriousOverdose on irc.rizon.net
In terminal, do uname -a. New hostname init.d script also serves as a type of sysinfo script for the SK4G(minus RAM and resolution and all that. Just OS and Kernel as of now.) and is useful when using IRSSI(do /exec -o uname -a in IRSSI to show the world that you are using Glorious Overdose. ^-^)
For those who want a little AOSP goodness, here is the 2.2 AOSP Launcher2.apk. Just set in /system/app and make the apks permissions the same as all the rest there. This is thanks to xanium4332.
Awesome! Excited about this
So you released like 3 or 4 roms kind of around the same time.. any comment about which one is the fastest or most stable? Are you still working on/updating the other ones like tigerfusion, tigerblood, etc? I'm on GOV3.3 right now and I'm happy with it except for the reboot problem while using maps/navigation. I'm not really sure which one to try but I like the way I have everything setup so I don't want to flash anything that cant be used as a daily driver yet. Thats why I'm excited about this one because it seems to be closest to what I'm using now.
As for the changes - is it any faster or "better" than v3.3?
Many of them seem like things we can do ourselves: I also ditched lightning launcher for launcherpro or adw, and got rid of or added some of the apps I liked. Personally I don't think amazon appstore should be on the rom, whoever wants it can just downloaded it right? Also I prefer quickpic to the 3d gallery as its much faster and doesn't crash. Is this 3d gallery a different one? (most of these things were just personal preference, i don't mind changing them myself after flashing the rom)
So the main things I think are the scripts/lagfix and a few theme tweaks.. Not really sure about PMR and the OTA stuff.. can you explain that?
but overall thanks for keeping this phone alive and giving it some hope and activity!
Well, I didn't really do much for TigerFusion, TigerBlood, or DangerZone apart from provide the lagfix script and bounce ideas off of the creator of the roms, RicAndroid. So, this, essentially is my first custom ROM release.
The 3D Gallery is, indeed, probably the crashy one. But it's because the ICS Gallery I wanted to include wouldn't work and QuickPic, imo, strayed too far from the original Glorious Overdose, which is the look/feel I'm trying to maintain while minimizing lag and other unpleasantries. But, yes, it is encouraged to mod it after flashing to further personalize the experience, but then I can't provide as clear of support when apps are added/removed from what I've release. So it's up to the user, in the end.
As for the inclusion of Amazon AppStore, that's based on it being, imo, the second most used AppStore for Android after Google Play. I mean, I don't own any apps from Google Play but I own some on Amazon. I can't use some of them without Amazon AppStore installed and signed in. If I could import purchases from Amazon to Google Play, I wouldn't include it(Yes, it's a personal preference). Like I own SetCPU. The version in the Amazon AppStore is 2.3.0.7(iirc) and the version in Google Play is 3.0.7. Dunno why the first hasn't been updated yet, but meh.
The OTA Updater will be like any normal OTA Update, but aimed specifically for custom roms(this one most likely being the first to have it implimented, hopefully it will be the first to use it too). Meaning whenever I push an update to the OTA Updater Center Pro, it'll push a notification to you which will allow your to Download and Update or Just download and just update manually via CWM(which is what I'll recommend because I'm unsure of how the app handles CWM recovery itself atm)
PMR is a collection of tweaks/scripts that were compiled first into an AROMA package installer and then ported to an apk format. The audio engines, sadly are incompatible with this phone until someone ports the kernel of Android 4.x or higher for the SK4G. Everything else works as far as I know.
And hold on to your hat. I'm in the process of creating the update.zip and testing it myself before I upload to MediaFire and submitting it to OTA Update Center Pro's database. I'll also be keeping an updated link here for people who are uneasy about the OTA feature and for those who ODIN'd and didn't keep a copy of the one they started on to flash and then update to the newest version. So far, all that I've done is in the changelog. And no, there won't be a LITE/LEAN version. I don't feel the need to create two version of the same ROM. Besides, this is essentially GOv3.3(LEAN) with the above changes.
Let it begin.... a new age of Sidekick cookers. THIS LOOKS HOT, MAN
Very sexy

Just checked the OTA app. It downloads fine. And I think it works because I grabbed the direct link from my MediaFire upload by right clicking on the download button on the page and used that URL. Dunno if it works day after day. And I don't know how well it handles the flashing itself because I feel a manual boot into recovery and manual flashing is the safest bet. Until I or another ROM maintainer can confirm that it does the flash flawlessly, stick to a CWM restore, please.
Because the OTA Update Center also displays the version, I removed the v4.0 from the build number and only the OTA Update Center version will change. The Build Number shows Glorious Overdose now, versus the old way in the screenshots.
Either way, enjoy GOv4.0. I know I am, and I'm the one who rolled this build of Glorious Overdose out. Now I look at my phone with pride, knowing I'm using my own creation and out there, someone else is enjoying it like I am. Such a satisfying feeling.
If you have a dedicated SK4G that you wish to test the latest build of Glorious Overdose with, PM me and I will give you instructions on how to turn your GOv4.x build into a dev/tester build that will get updates long before the public one does. I have 2 testers so far. Myself and RicAndroid. I think a total of either 5 or 10 testers should be sufficient to get things rolling. For those of you who still have GOv2 or GOv3 and haven't grabbed this yet and wish to enjoy OTA goodness, wait a day or two and I should have an update.zip to give you that pleasure of updating OTA.
That's all I have for now.
Can you explain in more detail what you mean about paid apps included?

Well, some apps, like the Gallery app(back when I could find it in the Play Store) and the Jelly Bean Keyboard cost money, but I included them because the free versions either didn't provide the functionality that I thought Glorious Overdose should have or just refused to work completely and I don't have a bank account or a credit card to purchase apps/credit from Google Play so I couldn't include my copies even if I had them.
I tried to keep the paid apps I included to a minimum. The only paid apps I can spot myself are the two I mentioned above. All the other ones are the free version because they work and provide the right amount of functionality for the ROM.
You should remove them. Warez are not allowed on XDA.
Fair enough. I'll revert back to QuickPic and JellyBean Keyboard free. If the mods will give me time to do so before they take action, that is. I can't do that as of now because tired and late, but thanks for the heads up(honestly didn't know[don't really read rules, just try to use common sense. Guess getting frustrated that the Free JB KB didn't wanna work and I couldn't find the free version of the 3D Gallery on the Play Store got the best of me]). Those and a new battery will be in the first OTA update available(And I'll even update the OP's link to 4.0.1 for anti-warez purposes).
EDIT: Had some moron texting me about some court stuff when I hadn't gotten anything in the mail about court appearances. So, I've been up for a bit and am getting an OTA update ready/OP update link sans the new battery. It'll be live in about an hour or so.

Rule of thumb is: No downloads, not fit for the development board.
That being said... 24 hours are enough to re-pack a ROM so it doesn't contain warez anymore?
Yes? Start the clocks...
Oh sorry I meant to direct my post towards both you and RicAndroid. So RicAndroid feel free to respond to the parts which were more relevant to you.
And I'm kinda confused, is 4.0.1 live and available to download? Its there on the changelog but I don't see a link anywhere..
and thanks for switching back to quickpic!
Edit: I just saw it was on Fixing/updating.. I'll wait
QuickPic is my app of choice....the Gallery is fine but it gets buggy sometimes.
This rom is sweet, BTW. The warez thing is not allowed, yeah....but there are plenty of fully functional free apps out there. Like ES File Explorer (which can be given root permissions), Touchpal keyboard (which is the best alternative to SwiftKey).
I'm currently porting the Bi-Winning Redux ICS framework...the correct way this time using GIMP with those 9.png files. It is looking beautiful so far. I will also jump on board the OTA thing this weekend.
Good stuff, dude. Keep up the fine work!

Well, as of now, the update is unofficial(the build.prop is the same but changed the OTA version because it's unofficial until I figure out how to get Quick Pic and Terminal emulator to work as system apps.). I can't get QuickPic to work unless I install as a user app and then move to the system apps and that only works AFTER installing it. But, yeah, gonna go update the OP with a link to the unoffical OTA Update. Those who have the warez version, just go to the OTA Updater app, check updates, hit download, and hit home and do whatever you want, but check the file on the SDCard at /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/glorious_overdose_.zip or something similar and make sure it reaches 177MiB.
Edit: Forgot to mention, this "update", although shown as 4.0.1 isn't the final update to 4.0.1...once I figure out how to get QuickPic and Terminal Emulator to work as a System app and switch to ES File Explorer from ASTRO(Because ES allows root access and ASTRO doesn't) then the real 4.0.1 will be out. Until then, ignore the faux update notice if you already updated. That or you can change your build.prop and change it back when it is completely fixed.
Also @B.Jay I've been using 7zip to pull/add/change files is in a re-zipped GOv3.3. So, it only took a matter of minutes but I was almost passing out when I replied to how_weird about removing the warez stuff. I don't know enough about the OS to create an update.zip from scratch.
Got D4 Update.zip creator now. So, yeah. Works.
Thanks for posting. When my wife leaves her phone alone and is sleeping I will flash this. Could be a day or two, she hates me messing with her phone.
How_Weird is to weird?

Lol. I know how it is. Just because 2 instances with my friends devices...he doesn't wanna root or jailbreak ever. I've finally convinced him to let me update his LePanII tablet to ICS and possibly root it.
At any rate, wait to grab it until later tonight or early tomorrow. Testing a possible fix for QuickPic and Terminal Emulator not wanting to work in the unofficial OTA update.
freakin awesome rom!
anxiously awaiting the link for 4.0.1 to rematerialize !
Well, the link is back up. Oh, and just an FYI. If there are changes in the changelog here but no OTA update showing...most likely I'm getting the update ready and am showing what I have done to the update.
yay! Loving it
Flashed this a few hours ago, finished restoring my apps and getting things set up the way i want them. Works great so far.. we'll see how it goes within the next few days
Thanks!
No problem. Hopefully I don't get fed up trying to find a way to update the su binary along with ROM releases and just say that users should update it on their own. Getting close, though.
