NERV SH06D Project
What is Evangelion NERV SH06D?
It's a limited phone sold only in Japan. It was inspired by the anime Evangelion and it also made its appearance in the third Evangelion movie.
The interface is stunning, take a look at the videos and screenshots below.
KNOWN BUGS:
Weather widget does not work outside of Japan. Weather widget needs "Weather Service" app which works only in Japan. It's to be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...eather.Service
(This does not work for me at all anymore. Please report back on this in the thread if it does.)
While adding MAGI Widgets in the MAGI Home, the "MAGI Widgets" selection makes the launcher crash. You can add widgets using the normal "Add Widgets" way. This should function correctly on Pre-Jelly Bean Android.
On Android 4.4, widgets stop updating. This is a limitation of the OS itself. Devices with more RAM should have less stopping widgets.

Looks good
really looks awesome, even if Nexus 4 hasn't got 3D Display it would sure look awesome on it, if i knew how to port that rom, then i would do it, but i think i would need like 10 years just to understand what to do...
anyways would be cool to, to see with next version 4.3 a rom with such a cool look.
i just downloaded the sources and the sounds are really funny, i understand a tiny bit japanese, like those sounds
but you made a theme for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025464
isn't that enough for you?
Looks dope

Well, my theme just visually looks like the software on that phone but doesn't come near the real deal when it comes to the functionalities and details.

I got the link mewtwo07 posted last with the default Sharp Launcher and it installs, however, the MAGI Home doesn't want to install and dropping it in /system/app doesn't work. (along with the odex).
Anybody who has a clue on how to install .apk and .oxed applications?
Also I found the Android 4.0 update 'image', but it's a set of .sec files and some more, how do I unpack them? I want that damned homescreen.
Update:
Apparently, odexed system APKs can't just be put on other devices, but you simply need to deodex it. This thread has the tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213235
I'm trying it now, will post an update.
Update:
It still isn't recognized, being deodexed, and still doesn't install. Here it is, maybe you have more luck getting it running.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28663583/MAGIHome-release.apk
The apk fails to install because it hasn't got correct install certificates. Going to try to get around that now.
Update:
Signed, now shared libraries are missing. logcat reports jp.co.sharp.android.stereo3dlcd to be missing, going to try putting that in the framework thing now.
Yeah, I'm giving up. If somebody who has experiences making custom ROMs and mixing frameworks, maybe they could give a try at getting this launcher to work.
Here's the installable file for you to tinker with - it crashes on launch.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28663583/MAGIHome-release-signed.apk
It's dependent on these librarires:
Code:
<uses-library android:name="jp.co.sharp.android.stereo3dlcd" />
<uses-library android:name="jp.co.sharp.android.sh06dnrvapps_mdl" />
and needed signing for it to be installed.
Just paste the following files into the /system/framework folder and the xml files into the /system/etc/permissions folder, then the launcher will be able to install, yet it crashes.
Here are the two libraries needed and their permission files:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28663583/jp.co.sharp.android.sh06dnrvapps_mdl.jar
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28663583/jp.co.sharp.android.sh06dnrvapps_mdl.xml
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28663583/jp.co.sharp.android.stereo3dlcd.jar
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28663583/jp.co.sharp.android.stereo3dlcd.xml
You can now install the signed app (you don't need to remove the dependencies), but it'll crash upon launch. logcat is quite the cluster****, but it seems like it can't load something from the 3D thing.
That, or even more is involved, like the entire framework.
This should be close to porting like TW launchers and stuff like that right?

The MAGI widgets work fine here, you do need to deodex and sign them though.

Get the two programs I mentioned before. First, deodex the apks, and then sign the APKs. After that, copy them to /system/app. Fixing permissions is optional, but you can ADB shell and then "chmod 644 /system/app/*" (be very sure to chmod the contents of the folder, NOT the folder itself)
I'm using a Galaxy Nexus on the PACman ROM, the Nightly build on the 22nd of June.
Also it'd be nice if any (even slightly) experienced ROM porter could help with this, and somebody who can read Chinese.

Thanks for replying me!! now I can only install EvaGoogle-release.apk!!!! I used the tools you posted at the beginning, but the sign tools seems not work for me, so I change another sign tools download from google play, and I signed it inside my phone, then I never expect it works, but it did works..however, only google widget succeed...so, I have tried different sign tools, but not work at all
1. I didn't copy them to /system/app , but I still can install the Google widget, so it seems not necessary to that.....
2. I am using HTC J on a customized rom, android 4.1.1. I think the rom itself is likely the problem
3. I am chinese, but I don't know what information you want to know, and I am a newbie to everything, what I did before is to google and google. and I googled here.

Never mind about the Chinese, I think the baidu thread went as far as the OP saying "Here's some information, here's some files, I'm out."
You need to copy system apps to the /system/app/ folder, otherwise they just won't work.
In other news, I got it all (kind of) working. Here is how to:
First, deodex all apk files widgets.
Second, sign all widgets correctly.
You can then install them and they'll load up without problems, except for the phone number widget, music widget and weather widget. The weather widget depends on the weather service, and it can only detect Japanese locations. The phone number widget stays empty. The Music Widget crashes on launch, but I think it's solvable if you know what other app it depends on. I used to work before I started removing apps.
I'm not sure about the legality of uploading the files, so I'll leave it up to you. Here's the proof it works: (click on them for 720x1280)
I suppose the distance between the widgets needs some tinkering with your launcher, or if we get to port the MAGIHome-release.apk, we don't even need to.
files should leave this topic is created so that little by little this launcher with widgets is ported their greetings
Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Should I post the files, ready to install, in this thread? Yes or no? I just want to play safe and not bother anybody with legal issues.
Edit:
Well I guess I can't go wrong technically since there has been linked to the entire system folder.
Here, have fun. All ready to be installed. I claim no ownership of anything.

I've put together a ROM for myself and figured I should share it. This ROM isn't skinned and has as much removed as possible while still maintaining functionality.
This ROM is, of course, deodexed and zipaligned. The APKs have been OptiPNG'd save for the few that became corrupt after this process. This is in an effort to reduce footprint of the ROM and, hopefully, increase overall speed of the phone.

After installation, you'll have approximately 45MB of your internal storage in use.
This ROM does not include a kernel. Find one and flash it on top of this. I recommend GeniusDog254's MixUp kernel. That's what I use and can confirm it works.

What is Apophis?
If you feel donatey, go here and donate to XDA. I hear you get a nifty star next to your name.
Here is all the removed stuff in one flashable zip. The nice thing about Clockwork Recovery is that by default it does not check for signature. As a result of that, you can download the removed zip, open it with WinRAR/WinZip and delete all the things you don't want. Close it up, flash what's remaining on top of the ROM and you'll be golden. No more screwing around with ADB. Most everything in here is removed for a reason though.
Flashable Modded TouchWiz 3.0 Launcher - 100% Kanged from Schizo's ROM D:
Flashable 'Clock on Bottom' Lockscreen Mod - Thanks kab0b0 - Screenshot
The smaller flashable zips in Schizo's thread should work here as well.
------------
I have included the DRM files in this ROM in order to allow the stock video player to function properly. If you do not want to have to worry about killing the DRM service each boot, download Startup Cleaner 2.0 from the market and disable the startup of the two applications pictured below. You'll need to change the filter in the top right corner to "System Apps" first.
------------
KNOWN ISSUES:
Genie Widget will force close randomly. This has happened on every Android phone I've owned on every ROM. If anyone knows a fix for this, PM me please. $%*& you, Genie Widget.
Time Without Signal
Settings > About Phone > Battery Use > Cell Standby
If you see Time Without Signal in the 30 - 50% range and you haven't been to a no coverage area recently, you're being affected by this bug. Activate and deactivate airplane mode once each boot and you'll see your time without signal percentage fall. This should save battery. (This bug is affecting all DI18 builds. Hopefully Froyo will fix it.)
------------
Greetz:
Boombuler for allowing us to use AppWidgetPicker.
Schizopunk for pointing me in the right direction when it came to several features of the ROM. Specifically the shutdown animation and the Fascinate music player. Thanks, bruddah.
Noobnl for providing the original files this was built from, and essentially making the whole damn thing possible.
Geniusdog254 for providing the kernel that causes this ROM to run well.
Let me know if anyone needs to be added.
We <3 everyone in this thread.

Good idea but I have reduced Epic Experience and Magic aosp roms to 86mb with everything working(removed all rigtones),and probably can be reduced more if I knew how to remove languages and fonts.

Here's a fail safe install method:
1) Use Odin to revert to a stock install of DI18
2) Flash Clockwork Recovery
3) Reboot into Clockwork, wipe data and cache.
4) Flash the ROM.
5) Flash a rooted Kernel.
I followed the above steps exactly. I got a force close while media scanner was running. After that, Browser worked 100%. No force closes or any kind of errors. I rebooted and tried the Browser again and it had no problem there either.
I'm adding links to a newer version which includes the newest Market and fixes the Pandora force close. If you're on an older build and need Pandora fixed, push the build.txt I'll attach here in a moment to /system/build.prop. Thanks~
Waiting 90 secs for download now! Looks good. Will report any bugs.

Reason I dint post any,because they are not really new roms just other peoples roms lightened up and tweaked.But if people want I will post my own personal themed barebones and regular roms that fly as far as speed goes.
I have a themed barebones around 86MB with overclocked kernel,and regular rom that im rockin right now which is barebones with crappy apps removed and competely replaced with better ones,new lwp's,themes,themed swype and themed launchers,i squeezed all this into120MB.
I can post both tomorrow if people want.

I haven't tested the music player too much. Deleted my SD's mp3s last night by mistake; will load them back up and see what the deal is.
Update: I am getting the force close. Will look into a fix.
Update update: Looks like the other ROMs are having the same issue. Will probably revert back to stock on next push, or would you guys like the modded music with the 4x4 widget? Let me know. Will continue to look into a fix for disc view though; I think this player looks good.

i think the problem was addressed in shizos epic experience rom.. check his thread. maybe theres a fix he can share
Great job, I haven't experienced any issues w/ browser, but I have yet to run hard test.
As for the disc view, the rest of players don't have this feature, so just have to learn to live w/o it. I've used paid mixzing, and the music mod in the past and this one I like better.
I haven't installed SetCPU to overclock past the default 1000Mhz on MixUp yet and I already pull a 1036 quad score.
Only obvious issue I've caught so far is the market is still the older version.
Rom definitely has potential, keep up the good work.

I looked briefly and didn't see anything, but that thread's massive. I'll go through it again and see if I can find anything. Currently trying to find a system dump for the Fascinate... maybe there's another file that needs to be pushed to fix it.
EDIT: I did see a poster claim in Shizo's thread that disc view was fixed in the last release. I just ran diff on his last two versions and didn't see any relevant changes. Still looking for a decent Fascinate system dump.

Well, for those of you who know me, I've decided to finally give Android ROM building a shot. It's a learning process, but I'm picking up on it pretty quickly, and I must say it's a ton of fun so far . I owe my inspiration to the likes of theimpaler747. zenulator, and of course, NFinitefx45. These guys all work hard to bring you great stuff, without their advice, I'd be nothing.
I need beta testers! I've been using this ROM for some time now but I need YOU to tell me if there's anything wrong with it . Please go easy on me, I'm still learning the ropes of this stuff. Any and all feedback is appreciated! If any of you veteran ROM devs come across this, feel free to drop me some advice
Also, I need help figuring out why this version only has 107 MB of free space. Does Deodex really take up more space like that?

Who is this ROM for?
This is for a pretty broad range of people; those who are interested in stock Sense minus the bloat. I've removed a fair amount of bloat, including all the Sprint apps and a few HTC apps/Widgets that I feel are of little value. The ROM is also fully png-optimized, as well as zipaligned. What differs this ROM from my other one is that this is Deodexed, meaning it's open for a lot of the theming mods. You do lose a bit of speed compared to the ODEX, but this ROM is still quite fast.
What is this ROM's base?
This ROM is based off of Nfinitefx45's fantastic rooted .7 DEODEX release (link). While we're on that topic, I'd like to say that all the credit for rooting/getting the base of this ROM out the door is ENTIRELY credited to Nfinite. I take no credit for the rooting process, the addition of busybox, the addition of A2SD, and anything that you see in his .7 thread. Nfinite is a genius, and he has inspired me to create this offshoot of his ROM.
So what do I gain by trying this?
You gain quite a bit of speed, and with this specific ROM, you get the ability to flash third party theme zips. Don't forget to Nandroid before doing so!

Download Link
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/345001/Android Stuff/Deodexed/LiquidSense1.1Deodexed_signed.zip
Addons - I suggest you use Android Commander to push these back in.
Removed System APKs - This contains all the removed Widgets and APKs from System/App. This does not include GMaps/QuickOffice. To use, unzip it, delete what what you don't want, and either adb push it into system/app or use Android Commander to do so. You MUST use these, not the zip from my other ROM.
Removed Data APKs (Coming Soon) - This currently includes Google Maps and Quickoffice. Both of these can be DLed from the market, and it's probably easier to do it that way, not to mention the ones on the market will always be up to date. However, if you'd prefer to save a bit of time, they are here for you. They do not need to be pushed, simply drop em on your SD card, and enable Unknown Sources temporarily and install using a file manager. HINT: If you don't want to grab a file manager or want to save some time, just copy the download URL, paste it in an email message to yourself, and open it from your phone. The phone's browser will handle the downloading of the APK, and you can just tap the apk from the list of downloads to initiate the install .
Removed Ringtones - These are all the ringtones that were removed. The reason they are not in the ROM is because they are better off on your SD card, freeing up a whole 2 MB on your system memory. What I suggest you do (to avoid having to adb push all of these) is to simply make a folder on your SD card with the following path :media\audio\ringtones\ . Put all the ringtones in there, and that way, no matter what ROM you use in the future, you'll always have the ringtones in there . If you'd prefer not to do this, you can adb push or use Android Commander to push them to system\media\audio\ringtones\.
Mods
~ Go out there and find mods! When you try them, let me know whether or not they work. They will be listed here, with full credit to the author for creating the mod, and credit to you for testing it
Liquid's Tips!
~ On first startup, sign into your Google account but don't do Facebook sync. Wait till you boot into the ROM, and connect to a wifi hotspot (if you have one). Once the sync icon goes away, and your google account has finished syncing, then get started with Facebook sync. Remember, Facebook sync, at least for the Contacts syncing, happens in tiers. It'll do, for instance, A-E first, wait a bit, and then it will do F-P, etc etc. Have some patience .
~ Battery! As much as always on sync is, there are a couple things you can do to lengthen your battery life. For instance, for Google, I always leave Gmail sync on. But ask yourself, how often are you adding/removing Contacts from your Google account? I don't do that too often, so uncheck contacts. Also, unless I have major changes to be made to my Google Calender, I also leave GCal syncing off as well. Once it finishes its first-time sync, all your events are there anyway. Next up, Facebook! The big deal for me for Facebook is that I run it once and my Contact images sync together. I'm not a big user of the Live feed. So for me, once my contacts' images finish syncing, I leave both unchecked. These two tweaks will save you some juice
~ GPS! I've found that using the same fix for faulty GPS locks in CM6 in this ROM actually improves the GPS lock time like mad. Grab "GPS Status" from the Marketplace and reset/redownload the A-GPS cache. After I did this, I had a super accurate lock in under 4 seconds using Google Maps
~ Task Killers! In my experience, I've found that task killers tend to do more harm than good. My suggestion is to simply place a shortcut to "Running Services" on your homescreen, and check it periodically. For instance, GTalk Service likes to come up every so often, and when it does, I just end it. For the most part, I've done well without a task killer. Android was designed to manage its memory pretty well! Again, I know this is a debated idea, so take with a grain of salt
~ Random bits:
I've found that pressing Menu while in the Sense App Drawer and switching to List View makes the scrolling a bit faster and smoother
Not using all 7 homescreens? Make sure there's no widgets on the ones you're not using. I've found marginally better performance and battery life from doing so.

Pardon? This is the prep post for the upcoming Deodexed version of this ROM.
It will be uploaded shortly. I'm calling for any mod users and themers to test it out for when it's ready, which, as said, should be available within the hour.
I have the odex version of liquidsense and i like it alot! It's awesome... Cant wait to try out the deodexed version!

I'd like to try this
A longtime lurker here, I've recently switched from Windows Mobile to Android, but have stayed with HTC Hardware. I lurk a lot, but thought I'd chime in to test this one. Just flashed it with no problems, and it seems pretty zippy so far. I'm also hoping it solves the Facebook contacts issues with Sprint, but I won't hold that against you if it doesn't.
It's my first custom Android rom, so I'm about as basic a user as you can get. I have a pretty tech background though, and used to flash my WinMo phones all the time, so i'm not completely lost.
I'll let you know how it goes...
I've been looking around for a good, fast, MIUI theme that doesn't leave anything out and looks nearly exactly like MIUI. I've decided that since there isn't one I'd give up searching, and make one myself. Then I encountered this problem. UOT for some damn reason doesn't like working with me and now I'm left to do this from the basics.
If someone would tell me how to use UOT because every time I've tried I get a Status 0 error, I've tried every way possible of fixing it.
I'm hoping if I get the UOT to work I will release a CM7 Theme and zip file, also with a list of apps I use to make my phone look like MIUI but maintain optimal speed.
I'll start with a list of apps I use to make my heroc look like it has MIUI.
MIUI Weather or GO Weather
MIUI Camera
MIUI Music
GO Contacts/Dailer
GO SMS Pro
GO Launcher EX (Although I like theming Launcher Pro Plus more than this because it is faster)
My desired end result is something like this....
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

It should be achievable via a themed Framework.apk, MMS.apk, Dailers.apk, Contacts.apk, Keyboard, and some lockscreen/homescreen themes. For homescreen I think the most true to MIUI Look is GO Launcher, and for Lockscreen it could be anything, but I believe Widget Locker is the best bet as it has extensive theme support. UOT Would be good for editing the Pulldown Bar and some other aspects including boot animation, transitions, Status Bar, Battery, and possibly more.
very good theme, congratulation!
Do you mean when flashing in recovery you get a status 0 error? If so that's usually because the mount command in your update/updater script is wrong. Also, have you tried the theme chooser theme miui apk that jasonevil made? It looks pretty nice.

Yeah, In recovery I get status 0. I have tried imputting my own Frameworks into the theme kitchen, Going about it via theme chooser with UOT, imputting my own files like instructed into the .zip from UOT like instructed if I get status 0, but still no dice, maybe I'm really stupid and dont see something im doing wrong here or what?
Also Im not sure if I've tried his MIUI Theme, I've tried one called Orion or something along those lines. Im not really looking for custom Icons nearly as much as a custom pulldown bar and MIUI's Battery. I like the GO Apps, but it'd be amazing If I were able to correctly get MIUIs Dailer, Web, and MMS Apps themed into stock ones, because GO Apps are somewhat laggy for me sometimes.

orion already uses all the MIUI images for the most part minus the status bar and custom battery...from a design sense, it didn't make sense to have a semi transparent black bar with white pull down lol, that's my opinion

Yeah I found out about this project http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858935 yesterday and saw all the MIUI Apks have been ported to MDPI which is great. If an MIUI rom actually comes out that'd be more than my brain can handle.
Also, as for the MIUI MDPI Apps, would I be able to install them? should I just replace the stock apps via root explorer?

i know the music apk will install, you have to push it to /system/app or make a flashable, but the 9 png's are screwed up in them....i've been having to use the hdpi 9's as reference and recreating them in PS using the mdpi stock 9's...hence why it is taking awhile.
but then again, i took some artistic license with some to make it more unique and not a straight image port of MIUI

Like I said you need to use a zip that works, status 0 means either the mount command you used is wrong, or it's for another device and busybox isn't translating it correctly. Just make a new zip using the same folders, only use the mount script (either amend or edify) from a known good zip you have already. If you're just trying to flash frameworkres.apk and SystemUI.apk you can push them with adb - no flashing needed.

I want to make it flashable so I can make it available to all of you guys here on XDA. Maybe I can just get the framework and system UI out of the UOTs zip and post em here, hopefully someone will teach me then how to create flashable zips (im guessing its fairly easy), or they can do it for me
Also I'm on CWM3 so I'm using Edify and I know that for a fact.

dude that cracked me up. oh noobs what will yall do next...
Ever since my laptop crashed with Vista, which also happened to bork my recovery, I've been running Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) on it. Since I was now running Linux natively on my laptop, I decided to try to cook a ROM just to do it. With that said, I'd like to introduce to you my very first attempt at cooking with Android... Ginger_FauxICS (v.Alpha3.1).
This ROM was built using kushdeck's gingerbread-hero-deck 1.3 as a base. The only thing I added was a Juwell's RAM optimization script which I had modified ever so slightly, ACS's ICSLauncher, and Pins Music Mod. From the Ice Cream Sandwich system dump, I also added the ICS bootanimation, font, and some icons. I also swapped out some pngs in the framework-res.
For that all around ICS look, you can also flash DameonAndMeagan's ICS Ring Lock Mod which you can grab from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312431
This was originaly a ROM that I baked for a friend of mine since my Hero is no longer activated. When I flashed it on my friend's phone, everything worked and it seems to be running pretty snappy.
Please note that I am in no way a developer of any kind. I'm just a dood that likes to tinker with electronics. All I did was piece together different elements created by the hardworking devs of our awesome community. All the credit goes to them.
Some features:
ICS themed CM7.1 (Launcher, Fonts, Icons, etc.)
Ram Optimization
Deodexed
Apps2Ext
and more...

Requirements:
- Fully rooted (s-off) Sprint HTC Hero CDMA
- Clockworkmod Recovery 4.xxxx and above
- For Apps2ext (Optional):
Class 4 SDHC at the very least
512Mb ext 4 partition
96 MB swap
Changelog:

URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313722a
11/02/2011 (Beta1.2)
- Added updated ICSLauncher v1.3.0.2
- Added Updated Market v3.3.11
10/31/2011 (Beta1)
- Updated version of ICSLauncher and other little things...
10/25/2011 (Alpha3.1)
- Initial Release
Installation Instructions:
- Download ROM from here:
http://sirthumpalot.blogspot.com/2011/10/rom-overview-drews-gingerfauxics.html
- Place ROM on the root of your sdcard
- Put phone into recovery
- Navigate to "Backup and Restore" and backup your current setup first (Optional but I always backup just in case"
- Once fully backed up, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache twice. I wipe twice just because I'm OCD like that.
- Go to "Format and Mount" and format boot, cache, data, and system. (If you're curently running and ext4 partition on your sdcard already, you may also want to format the sdext as well)
- From there, flash the ROM (gapps with vvm already baked into the ROM)
- You're done.
**User TIPS**
Per InsaneHien
- ROM can be flashed using Darchstar's Amon RA recovery if you resign the zip using PPCGeeks Android APK & Zip Signer program
- Enabling 16-bit transparency in advanced settings speeds up homescreen scrolling
**Known Issues**
Per gidkid - "When you tap the soft home button on the launcher while on the main homescreen, when you return from the helicoptor view, the soft buttons and the app drawer button are gone. They return with a quick reboot of the launcher, or after some time using other apps..."
Solution: Another solution other than restarting the launcher is also simply pressing the back button. That worked for me anyway.
Also per gidkid - "...while scrolling the app drawer, there are some hangups..."
Solution: I'm not sure how to fix this as of yet as it may be an issue caused by how the launcher app reacts to our phone's device limitations. I'll see if I can work something out.
If you dig this ROM and would like to donate to this project, please donate to the Devs listed above instead (Their donation links should be listed in their corresponding URLs). They work hard to enhance the user experience we get from our devices and for that we owe them a debt of gratitude.
If you wish, you can also feel free to donate to the OccupyWallStreet Movement (http://occupywallst.org). Just like many others in this country, I've been struggling to find work and have lost my house to foreclosure. I believe the political and economic foundation of our great country no longer works for the people as it was originally intended, thus, we must work towards changing the overall state of affairs. We must hold onto what makes this country great. Work towards, once again, having a government of the people, for the people, by the people. We are the 99%. Thanks for reading.

Maybe I meant 3.x or whateverz. Basically it needs to support the newer scripting as opposed to the ones we've grown to know and love back in the Amon RA recovery days. Miss those days, man!

Looks amazing. Always good to see something new around this forum. Thanks! I'll try it out and report back soon. If everything runs well, this could be a great ROM.
Just flashed this, and it was kinda slow until I enabled 16-bit transparency in the advanced settings. Now the scrolling speed on home screen is fast.
Also, this works with Amon's RA recovery. The ROM just needs to be signed so that it'll flash.

Thanks for the tip on the scrolling speed. I'll add it to the original post.
In regards to getting it to flash with Amon RA, did you have to change the script type for it to work?
So far, I'm liking this ROM. It looks nice, and while it was a bit of a shock going back to AOSP/CM after a while with Sense, it was worth it for the ICS looks.
It's not slow, not by a long shot. It's not perfectly smooth, either, and, especially while scrolling the app drawer, there are some hangups, with or without 16 bit scrolling enabled.
The one little bug I found was that when you tap the soft home button on the launcher while on the main homescreen, when you return from the helicoptor view, the soft buttons and the app drawer button are gone. They return with a quick reboot of the launcher, or after some time using other apps, but it's slightly inconvenient while they're gone.
Other than that, great ROM, great contribution. I'll be running this as my daily pending GPS and other tests.

I appreciate the detailed feedback. I believe you can simply press the back button when the soft buttons and app drawer disappear. I'm not sure what causes that unfortunately and I may not be able to look into it anytime soon cuz I have about two weeks to pack up my entire house to move. I'll see what i can do. I'm glad ya dig it. Cheers!

This rom incorporates the work of many AndroidCentral and XDA users.
Huge thanks to the development community.
This is Open Source!
Want to make or edit your own personal rom?
Take a look at my personal kitchen!
Known Issues:- If your sdcard does not have a folder called "clockworkmod", you must create it prior to installation. It should exist if you've ever made a Nandroid backup.
- 4G Toggle button exists in scroll-able toggle mod.
- 4G Toggle button is missing from the 9-lock mod, to enable 4g, have to go into Settings>Wireless and Network>4G Settings>4G (turn on 4g) or get a widget from the market
You've got questions, here's some answers!
Can't figure out how to make the battery percentage appear in 9-lock?
It's under Settings > Lockscreen Settings > Statusbar Settings
Want the battery icon, and not just the percentage?
Same deal as before, except you have to hide battery icon, and then un-hide it. Wait a moment.
I really miss my old transparent messaging app, can I have that back?
You can now! I've just released a few variations of transparent Gingerbread messaging!
How do I use my own ringtone, alarm, and notification mp3s?
Create a folder on your SD card called "media".
Inside of that create "audio".
Inside of that create:
"ringtones" for ringtones.
"alarms" for alarms.
"notifications" for notifications.
Ah, Swype.

Unfortunately, since the Froyo version that initially came on our phone, we've been employing the latest and greatest versions with better features. But all of them have still been betas, and apparently this particular one expired today. I do not know if, or how to modify it to avoid expiration. Nor do I currently know where to pickup the next available version. Instead, I recommend doing what I have just finished doing. Install the swype beta installer.
Here's how:
1. First, using a file explorer delete the following files:
- /system/app/Swype.apk
- /system/lib/libswypecorexxxxx.so [the x's stand in for the exact number]
2. Next, head here to download the installer.
3. The rest is pretty self explanatory.
You do have to sign up to be a tester if you're not already, I have been for some times. I assure you, it's a harmless process and won't flood your email account.
I wish I could make this easier, but for some time now, Swype has only been releasing beta versions and they will all expire at some point. If anyone has a newer working Swype I can use in the next version, I'll look into it.
As a bonus, if you follow my instructions, then your Swype personal dictionary will carry into the new Swype beta!
How Do I Use This ROM?
Regularly updated installation information available on the download page.
Random you mentioned in the other thread that Gtalk video works and it does but is that without being able to switch to front facing camera?
EDIT: I know I was supposed to thank you for this rom I assumed you knew I have been on EC05 Hawk. Also was I supposed to say "first"
Looks great RandomKing..
My time on the Epic 4g has passed but my wife still has hers and this is definitely a ROM I will be considering and trying out on her device since she's waiting for me to update her to GB and get off EC05...
Great work!
I was confused for a moment but then I realized that you gave EI22 its own thread. Haha!

I'm loving the ROM so far. I've already flashed a few others just to try out and Thunderhawk has been the winner for me so far. I do have a question though: is anyone else having any issues with wifi randomly turning off and on? I made sure that in the settings it is set to never turn off.

This... Not tryina nic-pic but that standard GB batter indicator just isn't cutting it.. I guess my question would be if there is a theme in the theme section of the forums that would work with this rom. I know we are waiting on the lockscreen mod from maddoggin but is there something I can use temporarily?
Also, Randomking, I saw in the other thread that you said it was the TH2.0 Rom that had the sexy black keyboard... How would I go about pulling the keyboard from 2.0 and installing it in 3.0.5? Yes... I'm a newb at all this stuff but thanks to you all, i'm learning quite quickly!

I'm not fully acquainted with framework-res modifying, so I generally wait until I find a suiting one and then modify it in-line with my own requirements. So... soon.
As far as the keyboard, open the .zip file, and under /System/App you'll find Swype.apk. Just drag it into the matching spot of the other .zip. I recommend using 7zip.

It has the AIO Hotspot, Volume, CRT, and Overscroll Glow features, but no Lockscreen mod yet.
When I can put in everything I require, I will remove the WIP tag from the title and fully modify the OP, until then, the screenshots are slightly inaccurate. Working on it. Version 3.1 will be the first full version.
been running this rom for a few hours now with no problem. My 3g speeds are faster on this rom for some reason (im on cricket not sprint). thanks for all your hard work.

Ok... So dont mess with the theming just yet... gotcha...
Now with the keyboard. I located the TH2.0 zip on my harddrive... Opened it, found the Swype.apk and moved it to my desktop...
Is there a way for me to copy the Swype apk to my SD card and push it in using ES File Explorer or will I have to actually drag and drop it into the TH3.0.5 Zip and then reflash?
**edit**
Just tried to push it using EX File Explorer and got mad force closes when I disabled Go KB and enabled Swype... Dragged and dropped Swype apk into the system/app folder of TH3.0.2 and i'm about to reflash... *crosses fingers*
**edit**
Still no go... Flashed using Clockwork and upon the first boot I got a Swype FC. I guess i'll stick with Go Keyboard for now...
I had to use root explorer es wouldnt work for some reason. just copy the file to root system/app
you might try going into settings, applications, manage, all, swype ... clear data.
So it isn't trying to use data saved by the other apk.
what is the best way way to flash this, I currently using ThunderHawk 2.3.4
thanks

I ended up using Root Explorer because when I tried to paste it in using ES, it would paste but Swype wouldn't show up in my list of keyboards.
Can you confirm that the keyboard from TH2.0 is the sexy black one? Is that the one you moved over?

I didn't even think of that, but I also dropped the Swype apk from the 2.0 rom into the system/apps folder of 3.0.5 and then just reflashed the rom and still got FC's as soon as the phone booted up.
I llooved this rom on EC05.
i can't wait for updates :]
i'm getting alright battery life so far. 75% 6h 12m. can't wait to see what you do with it :]
