Custom Rom for Samsung focus rev1.3
To summarize:
The available Tango roms (latest OS) for Focus 1.3 are available in English-UK language ONLY...so I had to reconstruct these roms, one for English-US & the other for ALL Languages ...
So, this is latest Tango OS built CLEAN rom ...and added Nokia ringtones & some additional themes...+ HTC dlls drivers
These roms are inspired/tweaked from the vt2912 and voluptuary ROMs & some packages from mirolg mi7ROM .. cooked with Brian's OSBuilder kitchen.
Many thanks for all for their work / guidance

hi buddy,
I have been running your ROM from yesterday. So far its perfect. No hangs, no lag nothing. The battery backup is awesome.
The wallpapers and lock-screen is good.
Finally good to see a SKINless ROM.. The beauty of Win 7 is its natural appeal, happy that you kept it without adding any skins.
Is your ROM cab updatable ?
Also, what the future improvements planned ? ..
Keep cooking. Thanks.

Most of the ROM's here are skinless, I think many peple are confusing themes for skins. Themes are what you set on the phone like Light and Dark, my ROM for example has extra ones as options via CAB update that offer Red, Blue, and Green themes as well as extra accent colors (tile/icon colors). Skins are modifications to how the Icons/Tiles and other system elements look aside from color. There are only a few of these skinned ROM's. Also these 'Light' ROM's are a 'dead end' meaning NOT updatable via offcial means, just something anyone flashing these should be aware of.
hi voluptuary,
Thanks for the explanation. I didnt notice the ROM from you which is more like stock . I thought from version 2.0 you went to GlassSkin based ROMs . Just noticed you have both the skinned and Skin free version.
I am not aware of the Meaning of Light Roms, thanks for letting me know.
hey just wondering, in this rom does the video messaging and voice memo messaging work. like when in sms you can attach videos and voice recordings.

yes...its cab updatable
future OS updates will be cooked as they come out..no worries if you don't get official updates, as they usually leak earlier anyway..then you will have the new OS build cooked earlier anyway...for the last year I haven't used any official roms/updates...
I dumped several roms out there & picked the best in each (credit & thanks goes to other chefs)....then got the best of each to build this one...
My goal is to have a fast, small sized, reliable, & very functional rom
as for future development, I will work on including more registry tweaks & useful packages...work in progess now, watch for future change log
as for wireless sync - video text - 3G settings ... these are KNOWN issues in ALL Tango roms
wireless sync: was working last in Mango .. will investigate to fix in Tango soon
video text: change video settings to low quality & you can attach up to 5 sec video...will also investigate how to change registry to allow longer videos
3G settings: no fix for now but data is working good so not really a critical issue
again all these are Tango issues not related to this rom...as I mentioned, i researched & collected the "best" of whats out there in my opinion
Thanks
I guess no news is good news...
many many downloads & no posts = rom running smoothly
I have it on my phone & have no issues...but please if you face any problems or have suggestions (other than known all Tango roms' issues above), post them here
all feedback is appreciated
Thanks
very smooth ROM, but just a feedback. If possible, please cook all the Nokia Apps in the next iteration of your ROM. Drive, Creative studio, Transit etc. They are fantastic and add a whole new functionality to the phone.

Hello
I used to cook (for other models) "Full" roms that have many apps..so once you reset you will have "out of the box" ready to use phone... but users kept disagreeing about what to keep & what to remove
So, now I usually cook "clean" roms...just with base M$ files & some tweaks (unlocks/registry/Drivers/xmls..etc)...
I try to NOT cook any apps as you can always install them later easily
this gives the flexibility to users to start from a "light" rom that uses the least space & functions smoothly & stay FAST...but install what each user likes later
sounds good?

Running your ROM for last 3 days. Very smooth and good. Battery backup is awesome.
Is it only the new languages added in the new rom or any other tweaks ?
Thanks and Keep cooking...

I adjusted lock screen a bit (graphics) nothing crazy
No tweaks yet...busy weekend

does this rom have the chinese keyboard?
I have just install NeatRom Lite V4.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686) and here is the bug:
Samsung input method will overwrite any non-default (third-party) input method when a bluetooth keyboard is enabled.
This is very problematic for me, because I must use third-party keyboard to input Vietnamese (Samsung default has Vietnamese mode but it is useless for me), I will not be able to use BT keyboard (especially when working with long text) when typing Vietnamese.
Note that: the bluetooth keyboard worked well with third-party input method before on my device, with older ROM (such as the stock ROM I9100DXLPF_I9100OLBLPF_XXV )
See others are having the same problem http://forum.swype.com/showthread.p...-to-Samsung-when-bluetooth-keyboard-activates
Please tell me how to fix this, thanks!

can anyone tell me if I can change the font size ONLY in the 'Messaging' app? I'm using CM10.0 on a Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate SGH-i577.
I'd like to keep the current LCD density, and 'Font Size' and all that, yet change (increase) the font size JUST for the Messaging app.
is this possible?
(I keep reading about "pinch to zoom" within messaging, but it appears that doesn't apply to Cyanogenmod 10.0, or 4.1.x...)
related: I only upgraded this phone a week ago to Cyanogenmod 10.0 - but I see that a variation of 10.2 is available now for the Galaxy Exhilarate- should I just upgrade to that?
if that would solve this issue, and still be completely and totally stable (the most important thing to me) then I'd go for it..
thanks for the great forum.

Hi all,
I very much like UpInTheAir latest update of his Aroma ROM (i.e. V3.0) on my P6810 32GB.
I wanted to change the DPI resolution so I have more room, mainly in landscape mode as at 213 DPI it feels like the whole screen is just a keyboard when you type in a URL or else.
So now I am at 176 DPI and it is a lot more useable (again the issue is mainly in landscape mode) but the keyboard is not using the whole of the bottom of the page. I don't recall this being the case in the Bodivas stock ROM so I assume a different version of Samsung keyboard is being used in this ROM.
I haven't looked for the keyboard app yet but I was wondering if it would be possible to replace the app with the stock one and if so could someone tell me what the app is?
Many thanks.
Hi! I have an Xperia M w android 4.3 and i installed various versions of the google keyboard (I tried several versions, beta, edited, official..etc) I installed GK bc the stock keyboard i have isnt possible to update and doesn't have emojis. When i'm going to use them it looks like this:
core0.staticworld. net/images/article/2013/11/emoji_notonkitkat-100067872-large.jpg (Sorry for the link, i can't embed images atm )
(My phone displays all the JB emojis in B&W. And i can see all the symbols emojis in the triangle section tho).
I installed GK too in my Mobii 7" tablet w 4.2 and it looks like the same. The question is, why having emoji support the kb only shows that ones??? Im kinda desesperated bc i installed some emojis material keyboard and 1, they only have the dark theme, they have unnecesary ads, or the prediction doesnt work etc.
Does exist a edited version of the KB that looks like this on JB? (Thats what i'm looking for *No ROOT solution PLS:fingers-crossed:*
cdn.androidbeat. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Google_Keyboard_AndroidL.jpeg
Also (in case is possible too,) i would like to have *Only the JB emojis* being displayed in KK color on the KB. Bc there are a lot that arent visible in JB
