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
Thanks droidstyle
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.

Well I'm kind of in the mood after getting some good feeback from my Defy ROM, so seen as though v1.08 has been released by Advent - I thought I would try and get a release based on this out - try and liven up the vega section on XDA!
As I've said before - I aint no Dev and don't profess to be. I know a fair bit about Android, but I don't compile, what I can do, is put things together that make it easy for others.
As you can see I've marked this as a release candidate, so I'm open to suggestions of what else could be included/improved on, although this is meant to be an unbloated blank canvas for people to build on.
ROM Includes:
Advent v1.08 base
Flash (You may need to reinstall by browsing to /system/etc/shuttle_priv and reinstalling the app in there)
Launcherpro
Gapps (No Gmail - I don't use the app - download from the market if you want it)
High Res Gallery
Moduleap screen calibration app
ES File manager
New for RC2:
Included small notification bar
Custom Boot screen
Modaco USB Switcher (Host/Slave)
Optional Clockworkmod Recovery
Added stock taskmanager back in (even though I think its fairly poor)
My favourite part of this is the installer - I don't think you can get much simpler than this. I'm sorry to Mac and Linux users, but this is a windows installer package, I've never owned a mac (and probably never will) and have limited linux experience.
Install process:
This assumes you have already have the Vega nvflash/adb drivers installed.
1) Download Higgsy_Modded_v1.08_Vega_RC2.exe here
2) Make a backup of your current ROM using clockworkmod recovery (If you use it).
3) I Also advise a backup of your apps/app data via Titanium Backup.
4) Boot into nvflash recovery using the following method:
Disconnect power cable if connected
Power the Vega off
Reconnect the power cable
Hold the back button for 2 seconds
Keeping the back button held down, press and hold the power button for 2 secs
You should hear a "bing bong" from the PC - if so release the buttons
If you don't get a bing bong, disconnect power for 10 secs then reconnect and try the process again.
5)Once you are in nvflash mode execute the Higgsy_Modded_Vega_v1.08_RC1.exe you downloaded, once complete hit enter when the DOS window prompts you.
6)Wait 10 secs and then power on the device as normal.
Installation for Clockworkmod Package:
1)Download the Clockworkmod_Install.exe from here
2)Make sure your Vega is connected to your PC and you have USB debugging enabled on the device
3)Double click the Clockworkmod_Install.exe program and let it do its bit
4)Once the DOS window disappears then it all done.
5)I recommend a standard shutdown/cold boot after install (prob don't need this, but I like to do it anyways.
I had previously posted earlier that clockworkmod was giving black screen, I can now confirm that installing via the above method, has stopped this for me- I have done 3 reflashes/install clockwork/boot into clockwork/flash a zip/reboot/cold boot and it hasn't black screened me, I was probably trying to be a bit clever trying to integrate things I didn't need to, and to be fair its better as an optional extra anyway.
Further note from me on clockwork mod after someone reported BSOD:
Clockworkmod is hit and miss, I spent best part of a day testing/reflashing and in the end I got it to work without any issues, i.e. the usual BSOD after first cold boot after using clockworkmod. What I found prevented it earlier was after using clockwork mod to backup/restore/flash zip etc, was to reboot back into clockworkmod straight away and then just hit reboot in clockworkmod as soon as it loaded up, then if you cold boot after this it loaded up ok. I think the key thing if you are going to use clockwork, is take a recovery straight after setting everything up, then its not so much of a biggy if it does black screen.
Enjoy the ROM
Thanks go to the following:
[email protected] for all my hosting
[email protected] for the Recovery.img/app for the vega. and USB switcher (And indeed kicking of the whole vega scene) At the end of the day Modaco got me into android and for that I'm grateful.
[email protected] for High Res Gallery3D
Fede Carnales for Launcherpro, that is included in the rom.
Estrongs team for a great file explorer.
Advent for making the technology available at an affordable price/original firmware.
Anyone else who thinks they should be thanked.

in my opinion very nice, I will be completely honest - I have compared this and it is mostly advent adding the newer tegra drivers in, there are other differences and additions too though.
would like some feedback from others on the installer and if its working sweet for them (it is for me)

I couldn't decide which way to go with that, I always used the small notification before, some like it some don't. I'll make an update.zip add on. easily done.

Thanks Higgsy, will give this a go tomorrow. If you are going to modify this yourself, would it be possible to have a semi-transparent small notification bar as an optional update.zip? Or if you know of a good n00b guide to do so, it would be appreciated.

Again button saviour is a must, I agree, my aim here was to provide a blank canvas with only the basics. To be honest there aint a great deal of space in /system. If people agree then I'll include it in the next release.
Flash included and works, you may need to reinstall it by going into /system/etc/shuttle_priv/selecting the app to install. I'll update the OP coz I forgot about that.
I notice in the screenshot that the kernel version is v1.06 is that a mistake. i have flashed the official firmware and it says v1.08.

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.

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?

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.

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.
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.

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.

Deleted, Sorry all.
I realize that there are going to be bugs, and that you likely know of many, but I thought I should contribute with a list of bugs I've found so far.
-First of all, I can't seem to get gapps(google apps) to install. in CWM it says that it completes, but none of the applications show up, I did try a few of the latest builds, so perhaps we need to use a specific older one.
-Text messages do not give notifications(even after going into the settings of the messaging application and making sure that "Notifications" is checked)
-Home button does not bring you home(or do much of anything) even if you go and set up what it's actions do in the settings.
-Search button does not seem to do anything either.
-Camera crashes(however it says "Gallery has stopped." so I imagine it's the usual top right image preview that's the culprit, although gallery itself works fine)
-Web Browser seems to just flash white on the screen for a second, then disappears and nothing happens.(assuming crash, but it's not actually saying anything)
-Dial pad in Phone application needs slight resizing(this was also present in CM9) the left side of each number is slightly cut off.
-During a call, the screen is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees.
-Apollo is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees, except it's settings menu(this was also present in CM9)
-Calculator crashes on startup
-Movie Studio crashes on startup
-Lock screen isn't showing when locking
(some of these may be just me, because I did change a few settings. I'll have to reinstall the rom and test all of these issues again. but at least it's something to go on in the meantime. I'll also try and get a logcat when I do.)
In general, the rom is -very- fast. The first boot was extremely slow/long, but after that, rebooting is much faster. The freezing is seemingly totally gone.
GAPPS doesn't install fully because the System space is to small for gapps. I removed a load of system apps to fit all of the Gapps in. Made about 30MB free to install.

Thanks a lot for the testing. Although I have been able to reproduce some of them, there are some of them that won't happen to me.
For example, home button is working fine for me, as the stock Web browser (tested on wifi). Also, when I lock the phone, it does go to the lock screen fine (with some delay though).
Cam is crashing also here, as well as Calc.

Naturally after changing most settings(as I usually do when I install a new rom, I go through every setting and get a custom experience from the start), things are bound to be different. I'm going to PM you the logcat(I warn you, it's long, but I stuck it on pastebin) hopefully it will help out a bit. if I can help in any other way, let me know.
I'll reinstall the rom in a few hours and make sure everything works properly with "out of the box" settings, and post my results.

thanks, but what bug did you reproduce in this particular logcat?
Some hints about capturing a logcat per bug:
You can clean the logcat with:
adb logcat -c
Then, reproduce a bug, and then dump only that to file:
adb logcat -d > bug_ANameSoWeCanUnderstand.txt
Pastebin that .txt file, with a description of the bug .
Logcat isn't very intuitive (to me at least), so imagine reviewing a logcat with a lot of posibly unrelated bug, and no idea of what bug is supposed to be reproduced in it

System folder issue
Just on side note: I have quick question on how CWM install works.
Why do we see difference in behavior, like here some people see Home key not working, while others are fine. Seems like after flashing some partitions have different data. While flashing in CWM we take care of erasing /data and /cache. So I think those partitions should not differ from person to person. What about /system ? What is done while installing zip? Is the /system cleaned first and then zip contains is copied? Or just copied straight away?
This question is in my mind for some time now. I have seen fresh installs of OS also showing different behavior on my Phone. So please help with answer. Thanks.
Sorry for diversion from topic. But I thought it is just relevant at this juncture. Thanks a lot.

This isn't really the right thread for asking generic CWM or Android questions. There are "General" forums on XDA, and google is your friend.
On that note, I can't tell you what does what(because I don't know a lot of it myself), but if you search google for "/system /boot /cache android" or similar, I'm sure you'll find a list of what's stored where.
Personally, everytime I install a new Rom, I double check to make sure it has a boot.img, then upon using CWM to install it, I first do the following(some of them are redundant, but I do so for good measure):
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
mounts and storage > unmount cache
(If the rom had a boot.img) mounts and storage > format /boot
mounts and storage > format /cache
mounts and storage > format /data
mounts and storage > format /system
-then- I install the rom zip, and if I want gapps, I flash those afterward. then reboot.
This ensures that -all- data is gone, and it will not allow for unique bugs caused by remaining data from a previous rom.
In my case with the home key not working, I think I figured out what was causing most of the problems that I had, but adlx didn't have - After trying to flash GApps, and it not installing properly, it seems to have broken something.
After flashing the rom again(after clearing all those things) I'm now not experiencing those.
Notifications are working again, home key works, lock screen works, browser works, etc.

Confirming the lock screen issue. At first install it did not work. Now I reflashed, booted the ROM, restarted to CWM and afterwards flashed gapps. Now it works properly.
What we need to focus on at the moment, which is very important:
- gapps flashing 100%.
- camera working 50%.
- keyboard buttons and softkeys availability.
This is my high prio list, anything else is currently not that important; I have yet to find a person that will tell me he cannot live without the calculator app for example.

No Calculator?! We're all going to die! D:
but on a more serious note - something that struck my high interest when exploring this rom is that there is a Hardware Keys section under System in the Settings.
Granted, the only ones that are in there currently are Menu, Home and Search(screen "buttons"), but I wonder if we can maybe add a new one in there, and have it configurable so we can open apps with it.
It might be difficult, but it also might be worth pursuing for the Facebook button.
more n00b questions
First, I too look forward to getting the list/method of uninstalling some of the bundled apps to make way for gapps.
When I flashed JB, I had no unexpected problems (ie camera wasn't working, but pretty much everything else was). I downloaded titanium and deleted calculator only, then was getting bugs with TB, where it was getting stuck in some sort of superuser loop (I had told it to sort apps by total size, in readiness for deleting the biggest non-essential ones).
I rebooted, then tried flashing the gapps zip, and did not see any errors - but when I rebooted, I could only see the gmail app - no google play app. Could it be that gapps silently failed to fully flash, or is gmail the only extra app I should see?
Last, is there a recommended / confirmed working app for moving apps/data to the SD card? With CM7 I am using link2sd and there are a multitude of others. Is JB pretty much the same, or are some apps going to work better with JB?
I am very impressed with the smoothness of the system, particularly the browser. Really great work. It is so close to being usable already.

It's because Link2SD will only move apks to Sdcard, but all app data, and dalvik cache will stay on /data, AFAIK.
You would need to use another mechanism of App ti SD that moves everything, like App2SD. I haven't tried it in CM9 nor CM10 though. Anyone?

No, it can move the dalvik cache as well as app data. However for some reason it will leave more garbage behind than the version of App2SD included in SuperOSR. Also the function "relink all application files" won't really help. Sometimes I even found installation files left on /data.

In the OEM ROM / StockPlus by Hexgore, the moment I type anything, it opens up the dialer. However, in CMROMS, any words I type open up the google universal search box - which is pathetically slow and doesnt solve my purpose. Often its just a number I am entering to call, not a string!
How can we remind android that its a phone first and a smart device later?
Many thanks in advance!!
PS: Why do CM ROMs have the CM camera and not the OEM one? the OEM camera is quite decent in and of itself, no?

yes, I liked that quick fast dialer too. If you just flash CM10 without Gapps, you will see that there is nice Search tool, which searches your phone contacts, apps, web (I disable this anyway). It looks neat and tidy.
So after installing Gapps, we have to somehow disable google search/google now and enable this old search tool.
[UPDATE]:
In order to get default phone search working.
- Uninstall Google Search. Alternately remove/rename system/app/QuickSearchBox.apk. Check this file is about 4MB in size.
- From CM10 zip package, extract and install the QuickSearchBox.apk. Note this is just less than 1MB in size.
This search just works for Web/Contacts/Apps and can serve as temporary fix till we get the Google Search/Now FC issue fixed.
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!

- Reboot into cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition

*Now before you Flash, Only if you are on the orange CWM, (Not RED voodoo CWM from Bali) if on red CWM ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM - this is the ONLY mount you pay mind to, not Sdcard or anything else
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip

(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS IF YOU ARE ON A RED VOODOO RECOVERY) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE

UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(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.
Credit goes to happy from Rizon's IRC network(screenshot above is from his device, a Droid 4, iirc. NOT from a new GO look, sorry.)
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
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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!
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
