[MOD/PATCH] Gallery3D higher res | Development stopped - Desire Themes and Apps

Development stopped
Although this mod had great success with several thousands of different users, just as everything else, it has been surpassed by time. Since it was first introduced, many competent devs made great changes to the Gallery3D's functions. These changes made it hard to keep up with the latest developments without introducing bugs, and due to the lack of time, I might have neglected it sometimes. Luckily, this mod has already been in CyanogenMod for a while, meaning all of it's users got the latest and greatest of this mod, as well as others. So instead of patching the Gallery manually, check out the latest version of CyanogenMod.
If you want to use this in other custom ROMs, either point your devs to this post and ask them to compile in the relevant changes from the github link, or extract the apk from the latest CyanogenMod since it will contain many more fixes and performance improvements that have been added in the last few months.
Thanks to all who contributed to this project!

UPDATE 12.2.2011.
Well, thanks to user de_MarK, the black borders problem has now been fixed! Should be working on most devices without any problems.
Thanks again!
[Comparison]
Here is a demo of how this will improve your images if you don't touch VMMaxHeapSize. If you do increase the former, expect even better results.
I found an image of a transmitter on top of a building to be best for comparison since it has very high contrast and sharp lines. Screenshots were taken off my Desire using DDMS.

Notice how the transmitter and power cables look differently.

[Will it work?]
Reported to work on various devices and various ROMs. If, by any chance, this doesn't work on your phone, report here.
User Airwalker82 reported that even 12MPx images are loaded without problems. Thanks for that!
[Installation]
If your ROM didn't come with Gallery3D preinstalled:
Uninstall any versions of Gallery3D present and install the .apk.
If your ROM came with Gallery3D or the above method fails:
You will need to remove the existing Gallery3D.apk in /system/app. You can use any method you prefer for this, however, those owning a Desire will have to do it from recovery through ADB shell.
Code:
Step by step:
1) Connect the phone to the PC
2) Open a Command Prompt (WinKey+R->type 'cmd'->enter)
3) Using the command 'cd', navigate to the directory where the Android SDK is installed
4) Use 'cd' again to enter the 'tools' directory
5) Type 'adb reboot recovery'
6) The phone should restart
7) Once in recovery, type 'adb shell' to get the shell interface
8) Now type 'rm -rf /system/app/Gallery3D.*'
9) Disconnect and reboot the phone
Now simply install the .apk.

I don't know how many of you have noticed, but, although beautiful, Gallery3D doesn't really load images at their full resolution, unlike the default Sense Gallery. Infact, the difference is quite dramatic on my phone. So, today I decided to get the sources and see if something can be done. And indeed it can!
So I present to you my patched version of Gallery 3D!
Although I couldn't manage to get it to load full res images, the difference is quite noticeable (but it isn't anything like Sense )
Anyhow, what's going on here? As some of you may or may not know, Android has a VERY limited amount of memory allocated for bitmaps which are necessary for showing images. For an example, even with the best phones today, you can't load a 5mpx image as a bitmap. That's why Gallery3D downscales images when loading them. The problem is, it doesn't upscale them when zooming in! So, what I did is I downloaded the latest sources from AOSP and changed the downscaling algorithm a bit so the images are downscaled 2x less (which equals to 4x more detail). Now, since I only have my Desire at hand, I couldn't really test this properly, however, this should experience no problems with images that are 5mpx (that's what I was able to test).
I would, however, like you to try and load some larger images (something of a DSLR, like 10mpx) and report on how it works.

Can't say for sure. It wouldn't install for me over the default one I had installed. However, if it came with your ROM, you just might be able to overwrite it. Try it and report back

14.1 mpx images look great in the thumbs! A bit slow on initial load, but seems ok after that.
Does anyone know of a screenshot application that can run on non-rooted devices? I'd like to take a screenshot so I can show how the 14.1 mpx thumbs show up like.
One thing though - It picks up album art, and as a result I have numerout galleries showing that are just an artist/album folder. Is there a way to include options that allow you to select which albums to show/hide?
thanks for the great work!

Works great on defrost 2.6a rom!
Nice dude !

DDMS from the Android SDK should work on non-rooted devices. (Nice guide here: http://www.androidcentral.com/taking-screenshots-without-root) Just remember, if you are on Linux, you need to start it as root.

Hmm, well, no way of including the show/hide without some serious rewriting. However, if the album art is in it's separate folder, you could try the .nomedia trick (just be careful and make sure the folder is empty before applying .nomedia). If it isn't, the best option might be to just encode art directly into the mp3 tag. Some of my MP3s have album art in their tags so it doesn't show up in Gallery.
This isn't a problem of the app itself, more of the Android Content Provider for media which scans all folders for images, videos and songs.

i have made a zip file from this so you can install this via the recovery shell, it will overwrite the original "Gallery3D.apk" file in /system/app
tested and confirmed working in OpenDesire 3.1.0

you should use the recovery mode in "ROM Manager", this makes it a little easier for you.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.koushikdutta.rommanager
Install the apk from market, than install the "update.zip" from inside "ROM Manager", boot into recovery, at the red triangle sign press & hold the UP volume button than press power again, than choose "Apply update.zip from sdcard" press power again and your in the recovery mode as in "R5 Desire" but without the risk of bricking your device.

thx for the great patch
and a request, could you speedup the photo loading speed? i noticed the loading speed is slow even if i open a 800*480 jpeg file (yes, original Gallery3D had such issue too), I use sandisk class2 16G sdhc tf

thanks man that worked a treat, i dunno why i never tried usin rom manager before, makes everythin a little more than easy
This mod is really nice too, makes it a lot smoother when zooming in on the photo's an i noticed the loading times is a lil quicker too!

could you speedup the photo loading speed?
Click to expand...

There's nothing much that can be done since the app uses standard Android APIs for loading images. However, I do beleive that the speed of your SD (class 2 is the slowest) plays a major role in the speed of the loading process.

hello, thanks for this mod!, i have just installed and I have lost my picasa online albums!!!. Can someone help me to fix it?
or at least how to restore the original froyo gallery (i have flashed the .zip file with recovery)
Thanks

What the application does:
This application flashes the specific parts of your device, ie. Bootloader, Recovery, Splash screen, and Radio.
It has taken many hours and much extensive research and testing on multiple devices to make a straightforward, efficient and reliable program to offer you the freedom in device customisation you are otherwise denied.
The app allows you to quickly customise your device in a way that is simple and alot goes on behind the scenes to guarantee you don't get caught with error messages.
The splash screen is the image before the boot animation, (by default the white HTC logo.) With this application you can change it in under a minute.

How is the bmp supposed to be configured?
BMP should be configured how ever you like. The program converts it from whatever configuration you saved it as. I personally use:
"File format: Windows"
"Depth: 24bit"
Wow...interesting...sounds good
Thanks..with kind regards..Alex
so now we can use our own boot pics right?
dosent work for me, just sits at waiting for device
hmm tried it with an .jpg
saved and renamed it as written to splash1.bmp but it didnt worked.
i have got the android now on a skateboard as bootscreen.
weird haha
you have to save the image as bmp, not jpg.
Cool, one minute before s-off and there is a thread to change the first boot screen ... will try it now ... black boot screen = save batt
WHAT RESOLUTION IS NEEDED? 800x480 or 392x65?

EDIT: 480x800 is required. Sorry guys.
Doesn't work for me. Created a bmp, renamed it to splash1 and ran the bat while phone was in fastboot mode.
This is essentially same as doing it via cmd using "fastboot flash splash1 *image*" ?
But im a bit confused as to what the image needs to be. Seen .nb's, nb0's, .img's and .rgb565's.
when i flash it, the image looks like its 4 identical images layered ontop of eachother
it changes my splash screen to "three androids playing skateboards", but I don't even know where this image comes from.

Check your BMP file. Save it again and reconvert it after. What did you use to make the BMP file?
ive solved my problem, its because it dosent resize it for you, make sure the dimentions of the .bmp are 480x800 and all will be fine

[HOWTO] Upgrading to insanity ROM

I have a regular Samsung Galaxy S. Well I did have until today, and I ventured through the installation of the insanity ROM. By regular, I mean very, very, very, ordinary.. I’ve not even root’ed by Galaxy. So to get to a nice stable working insanity Galaxy S, I performed the following steps :
What is insanity?
insanity ROM is a basic, small, light-weight ROM that focuses on core functionality and speed. It is <70 Mb of installation if your phone is already root’ed. It also supports tweaking the DPI so that you can have almost any resolution you like (depending on the screensize of your phone).
Safety Copy
As I’m fairly cautious I wanted to make sure I had a copy of my data, and had the ability to “go back” to the stock phone.
To get a copy of the data, I installed the Samsung USB drivers (my other machine uses Kies, but it’s not powered up right now). You can get the drivers part way down this page :
EZBase Downloads or the direct link:
Samsung USB Drivers (x64)
Samsung USB Drivers (x86)​
After installing the driver (no reboot required) I then go in to the phone settings and turn on USB debugging, and plug the phone in. It then appears as a Windows device. After that I copied all of the files from my device to a temporary place on TWO of my desktop computers!
Going back to the beginning .. well I hope I never have to, but if I do, I already downloaded the original ROM from : Stock Firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Thread - This is my base release : I9000BUJG2|2.1|2010 July
EZBase
This is the forum page for EZBase
Basically I followed in the instructions in the PDF which is located off that page. You download EZOdin, EZBase.pit, and the three files ending in MD5. One of those is 250Mb+ so it takes a bit of time. You then have to restart your phone in download mode… to do that power off the device, press the volume down button, the home button, and the power button.. then wait a few seconds for the splash screen to appear and let go of the buttons. The phone should go in to Download mode.
Once you’re there, run EZOdin, per the guide in the above link, and maybe 5 minutes later all will be rebooted. Your phone will already probably look considerably different! At this point you can plug the phone back in, and copy the insanity zip file to the /sd folder… ready for the next step.
During the installation of EZBase it might do a few quirky half reboots, that’s all fine, it’s installing a new kernel and mode, and it’s meant to behave a bit oddly whilst doing that !
Recovery mode to get the insanity ROM installed
You then have to restart your phone in Recovery Mode. This time it’s volume up, home, and the power on button.. for a few seconds, then when the logo appears, let go of the buttons. Once in recovery mode follow the screenshots on the insanity forum page for the steps to follow, and in a few minutes you’ll have a rebooted phone with insanity installed.
Tweaks / Post Installation
Unlike many ROMs out there the insanity ROM is very small – less than 70 Mb. So there are quite a few apps which aren’t installed any longer, but, you can get them back with nitrality. Here is a run down of the things that I’ve done so far :
I checked my gallery and my music – it’s all still there ?
Open nitrality (you might get warned about it taking super user access, just accept that). Go to UI Tweaks and then tick the box saying “Application scaling”. Old applications will now hopefully behave nicely.
Whilst still in the UI Tweaks section I changed Popup Animations and Transition Animations to fast, and checked the box next to Fancy Input Animations
Now in nitrality, open Applications (and wait a little bit if it is the first time you have run it). Scroll down to near the bottom and install the Voice Recorder. It’ll record all your incoming and outgoing phone calls by default !
Tweak what gets recorded.. because you might not be quite as paranoid as peoples say! Swipe the home screen downwards, and the phone will appear (or open Applications). Click Recording Settings, and then tick the boxes next to either incoming or outgoing, or whatever you prefer.
Whilst in the Recording Setting page consider turning off the “Disable increasing ringtone” by ticking the box at the top.
Customise swipe bindings by going into Preferences from the home screen, and click on Action Bindings. By default Swipe Down is set to “Open Dialer” as an example.
Install the Gmail addon if required, from the insanity page.. you have to restart (one more time) into Recovery Mode to do that … but you don’t have to do some complicated finger pressing any more. Hold the power button down as though you are going to switch it off, and choose Recovery in the list.
I then dragged and dropped the following to the home screen :
- Phone
- Gallery
- Camera
- Gmail (On launching Gmail I had to set up my account again but that’s fine.)
Next up for me, is to install :
My To Do List manager
My Flickr Uploader
And I want to test GPS, when I go outside (but it’s cold today)
Maybe now will be the time when I investigate some other apps that do those jobs!
I have to say there was a bit of a hairy moment or 5, when it appears that I was touched by the 50% on Cell Standby "bug".. I got that sorted thanks to Nitr8 and TrOjAnUK. I think it was a mixture of turning off HSPDA, and the new XXJVK modem suggested by TrOjAnUK, and, the in-and-out-of-air-plane-mode. Have a look at the battery post for more details.

I think it's important to "write down" what I did... otherwise by tomorrow I'll have forgotten almost completely.
The only fault I see with this is the fact you should really have added [HOWTO:] in the thread topic..
Might be worth asking a mod to do it if you are unable to edit it now.. apart from that, well done great work.. now go and enjoy your phone thats an order

D'oh.. Okay, I've done it (Advanced Edit FTW)
That's an amazing way to enter and present oneself to a forum.
Many many thanks, I as many come from nitr8's thread, and I'm using your post to help me help my friends (so I don't have to carry on all the work and they also learn a bit).
Naturally you had to be friends with nitr8! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mumps, much appreciated. If you use the thread, let me know if there are any adjustments that can/should be made, and I'll update it gladly.
Well done guy. Maybe you should hang out in the insanity thread and abuse people that claim to be new and are just being lazy
Nice; If I'd read through things here and on the main thread properly yesterday (now THERE's a tip!!!), I would have not worn a hole in my screen trying to sync my contacts!
About updating Insanity ROM
I am Sorry if my question is stupid but I didn't find answer from the forum...
I got a SGS with Insanity 0.6.5 version installed in it (previous owner did this). I would like to install the newest version. Since this already is rooted phone can I just follow the following instructions?:
1.Backup all your data, a CWM backup is nice to have
2.Copy Insanity ROM to internal SD Card
3.Reboot into Recovery Mode
4.Flash insanity via CWM ALL data will be wiped
5.Full Reboot - Wait for phone to start up
6.Reboot into Recovery Mode

Nook CM7-on-SD

I'm trying to load up the gapps ZIP, to get Market and my Google apps going.
1. The whole "press and hold for X seconds" on the power/n buttons ain't working too well for me. The thing keeps just loading normally or rebooting cuz I hold power too long or something).
2. When inside CM7, and I choose Reboot/REcovery, it actually skips the SD entirely and loads me into the original B&N on the machine itself. Derp.
I followed these instructions for installing CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
using the update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip as recommended by quinxy here:
http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...on-the-nook-color/comment-page-3/#comment-944
So, any tips or ideas on how to get into recovery (it's a CM7 install on SD) so I can put in Market and GAPPS?
I also noticed that when it boots, I'm in some black screen always and have to click power twice to actually get the CM7 desktop to show. Whassup with that?
edit: also, is there harm with installing CWM from ROM manager in this CM7 SD card install? Will it install it to the SD card, or to the Nook Color itself? Will it dork things up? I want to keep them separate (B&N on the machine, CM7/GB on the SD). Is this the reason I can't get into any kind of recovery mode, because I don't have CWM installed?
Which build of CM7 are you running? The more recent nightlies made the reboot into recovery process easier.

I'm really not sure -- I grabbed the one I was told to do in the post at:
http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...on-the-nook-color/comment-page-3/#comment-944
with a direct link to update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip, whatever that is. The file is here:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip
Since creating an install to SD is so brain-dead simple, I'm happy to switch over to something else if needed.
What about CWM? If I go to ROM manager, it tells me CWM isn't installed. If I install it - is it putting it to the SD or the machine itself? I'd really love to keep it internally clean, all on the SD.
You should be running at least the latest stable build, 7.0.3. If you're more daring, like me, you can install the latest nightly, which may in the 100's now (I haven't checked in a couple days).
I honestly haven't done anything in ROM manager yet so I can't offer any advice there. I've had problems with it and don't care eenough to troubleshoot. I use Win32imager to make img backups of my install.

I just went here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
and grabbed the top one, cm_encore_full-106.zip, and it is installing to the card now, we'll give it a shot and see how well it works. I'm *assuming* these are all CM7.
edit: I got a different boot splash screen than the previous one, so that's a bonus. Nicer boot animation. Crossing fingers that it doesn't start up in sleep mode like the other build package did (always had to toggle power button to get the desktop to show after a boot). Yar, desktop!
OK, now to see if this thing will reboot into recovery....
Yup, that should do it. Didn't realize we were up to 106 already!! CM7 is short for Cyanogen mod 7, so yes, they're all CM7 See how 106 works for you.

You're a genius - it was a crappy build of CM7 I must've flashed first. The latest did the trick. Nice boot anim, came right to desktop, rebooting into recovery picked up the gapps zip and installed it.
Thanks for the advice. I'll make a restore point with Win32Image thingy now. Thanks again for your help.
You're welcome. Make sure to "thank" me. I just started posting here and wouldnt mind a little color on my thank o meter
I'm not a genuis, that would be the guys who made cm7. I'm nowhere near that smart.

Ha! I have no idea, like I said, I just started posting here so I have no idea how to do it either. Maybe someone smarter than I will post with the answer.
Well, GAPPS is installed -sort of- but now stuck at "SETUP WIZARD" at the top whenever I boot the nook. Softkeys are not responding, the only thing that does is the notifications pulldown. No desktop, just a big fat "SETUP WIZARD" at the top, and black screen.
Grrr.
edit: Rebooted it, and now have a nice normal set up screen. Yay.
Maybe an obvious question, but did you make sure to setup your WiFi connection before installing the gapps? One time I was in a hurry and installed gapps before setting up my WiFi and I had to start over
I did that twice already, but even with setting up wifi, i got that setup wizard glitch (which went away when I simply rebooted). It looked a lot like a set up screen for gapps that didn't render quite right. It's probably an artifact from being on the most bleeding edge nightly....
it's all up and running though, and looking very nice. love the fact it's all on the SD - so very, very nice.
I'm glad you got it working. I think I got that weird gapps glitch one time but yeah, it goes away after a reboot.
I too LOVE that it's all off the SD card. My daughter (3) likes a couple apps that I have on the Barnes and Noble interface, so about once a week I boot into that (its horrid by the way once you've been running CM7 for a while). I'm going to be helping a friend get CM7 on his viewsonic g tablet this weekend and thats a full flash to main memory install. Makes me a bit more neervous but it looks pretty straight forward.
By the way, I highly recommend Launcher Pro, with the unlocker (a couple bucks). it makes everything soooooo smooth.
I use LP on my EVO (running rooted w/a cleaned up Sense ROM w/o any sprint bloat). I love it. I find GO launcher, ADW and LP all have very similar features.
I have a few paid apps (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Beautiful Widgets) - that I bought with the Evo and are working here, was able to DL and install them from Market - so that's handy.
Although "Move to SD Card" seems sorta "huh, wha?" now.
I haven't overclocked my nook yet - think it's something I should do? I read about some kernel tweak to kick it up to 1.1GHz. The final thing I need to do is get Netflix working on here, then I'll be content.
I'm running LP on my HTC Desire and its awesome. not necessarily better than sense, but its fresh, like a new phone almost.
I have NO idea what "move to SD card" does if you're running on an SD card. I'd love an explanation from someone on that.
I can help you get Netflix going if you need help. That's my number one favorite app on my Nook Color. That alone made installing CM7 worth it. Nothing better than sitting in bed at night watching movies on it.
Oh yeah, under Cyanegon Mod settings, find tablet tweaks (careful, dragons ahead), and you can easily overclock the CPU to 925 MHz right there. I don't know a way of setting it higher while running off an SD card. If you figure it out, point me in the right direction please?

I wouldn't mind some help getting Netflix going, if you would please. I noticed it's not even appearing in the Market (I think Market changed a bit to filter out unsupported apps now).
As far as moving to SD card - I did notice a few glitches. Things like moving Facebook caused Facebook's contact/feed syncing to break and vanish. I suppose anything that needs background processes are going to be flakey. There were other ones, like Word for Friends that also glitched on me. I just moved them back to "phone" and they worked again.
Not really pressed for space - but yeah, minor bugs there.
So....netflix?
Found an APK I was able to side-load, but Netflix is all chipmunk-y!
Someone has a download link to the apk file on these forums. Look around for that. Tell your Nook to install third party apps. Install the program after downloading that.
Install Root Explorer and allow it super user access. Open up the system folder and mount r/w. Open up build.prop in the text editor. Change the following lines to match this.
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
The first one normally says NookColor and the seconds says bn.
save the file and restart the device. Netflix should work like a charm, and best of all, the Android Marketplace does not break. Although the market will think you have an HTC Vision
Modifying the build.prop file fixes the chimpmonk problem by the way.

For some reason, Root Explorer (and SU) don't think it's rooted. I see SU installed and when I launch it, it tries to update itself, and says something like "failed to update, probably from not being rooted - zip put on sd card, flash it in recovery."
Root Explorer doesn't give me my usual option to flip to R/W mode and edit files. I tried installing Busybox, too - and that thing complained about not being rooted as well.
So, dunno why - but this doesn't seem to think it's rooted. Odd, considering it all exists on the SD card.
Any clues?

[ROM]We're Back! [01/17/12] 3.2.1 Honeylicious Flash Glass HC Stock Based Kernel

Honeylicious 3.2.1 Flash Glass​
Now that the Holidays are over, and worked has slowed down somewhat, I have more time to spend with the thread.
Honeylicious was created for myself, by myself so I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's work.
I got sick of the "stick figure UI" that Google continues to produce, so what you'll see here is something more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so if it doesn't please you, you can download
The UI has had a "glass" filter applied through Photoshop to give it a "glassy" finish.
You won't see any custom kernels here, nor revision updates, as these are all tried, tested, and true final releases.
What you will find is one of the fastest, smoothest, most dependable, and stable stock kernel based ROMs out anywhere for the Acer Iconia A500.!
Please read the "Install Instructions" carefully, and/or watch the Video Tutorial on how to flash correctly.
The 3.2.1 Youtube Fix is included in this Rom thanks to Civato.
Special thanks to Civato @ XDA for all his help in getting the camera working properly with this ROM, for the original apks he had given me, which have been changed immensely since that time, although there are a few png files that still remain the same, and all the other help and inspiration he has provided.
When you purchase a new automobile, it doesn't come with free driving lessons, neither does Android, and this ROM doesn't either. There are a few things you'll need to know before flashing a ROM.
If you're unsure of what you need to do, or simply can't follow the explicit directions in the "Install Instructions" (video included), take this link first to get you started. Click Here for the wealth of information in the A500 Wiki.
If you've previously flashed another one of Thor's ROMs with his custom kernel that he refuses to release the source code for, you may have problems flashing other ROMs until you COMPLETELY WIPE AND FORMAT YOUR SDCard. My personal opinion on this matter is, "if you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding it?"
DO NOT USE ANY MODS FROM ANY OTHER VERSION OF HONEYLICIOUS AS YOU WILL BE MODIFYING YOUR SYSTEMUI.APK, AND FRAMEWORK-RES.APK WITH AN INCORRECT VERSION AND YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS!
Now, onto the ROM:
It's built on Stock PB G100W 4.010.05_COM_GEN1 found HERE: Stock base (stock kernel), Honeylicious sweet, rooted, tweaked for speed and stability, superuser and Busybox installed, and Bootloader.blob removed, that you've come to know for it's rock solid dependability, stability, and the most speed you can eek out of a stock based ROM, with an Icey Glass Finish!
What Works:
EVERYTHING!
What Doesn't Work:
NOTHING!
This ROM has had all of the useless stock apps that are constantly in "Running Services" ripped out, to give extra battery life, as well as speed. You'll notice in the "Running Apps Settings" screen shot that only two other apps are running (besides "Settings", and "Screen Shot It" which were needed to take the screen shot).
Apps Ripped Out:
Game Loft
Link to Facebook
Music
Nemo Player
Social Jogger
Sound Hound
Zineo
Replace Ripped out Glass App Pack HERE:All apps in one zip file (unzip main file to find individual apps in their own CWM Flashable zip files). So you can add in whatever you like to slow your system down once again.
What Extra Apps are included:
System Apps Added
Polaris Office
Extra Data Apps Added: (you may uninstall through "Settings", "Applications", "Manage Applications").
Avast Android Mobile Security (you need to open it once in applications to setup your preferences for it to run)
SDRescan
AdFree
HD File Explorer
HD BackGammon
HD Solitaire
HD Spades
Bluetooth File Transfer
Dolphin HD Browser
Fancy Widgets (free version)
Shake Calculator
Adobe Flash 11.1
Google Voice
Fancy Widgets has a battery meter included in the Weather/Clock widget. Go into Fancy Widget settings, "clock settings", "extra information", and tick "show battery level" for 1% increment battery levels. Fancy Widgets is the Weather/Clock widget shown in the screen shots, both weather and clock are "MIUI Inspired" style selected in "appearance" settings.
What's Different:
Ice Blue Glass Themed Rom
Five Extra Ice Blue Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
Five Extra Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
ICS Fonts
ICS Clocks
GPS Tweaks have been added to ensure rapid GPS Lock!
Latest Version of Superuser, and binaries.
All the goodness that 3.2.1 brings with it including the Newest Market. As you can see from the running applications Screen Shot there are only two running apps (aside from "settings", and "ScreenShotIt" which needed to be running to take the screen shot.
If you choose not to follow the explicit Install Instructions, not only do you do so at your own risk, I don't want to hear any whining about ANYTHING not working correctly, and post your questions HERE!
This ROM has been tested EXTENSIVELY with absolutely no problems or glitches whatsoever (hence "final release").
Normal disclaimer about how flashing a rom can be dangerous for your Tablet, blah, blah, blah. Please always perform a backup before flashing this ROM. If you some how screw the pooch, consider it "Pilot Error", and I am not responsible.
If you want to flash another kernel with this ROM, you do so at your own risk. I have no idea who's kernel will work with this ROM. If you do choose to flash a custom kernel with this ROM, please direct all questions regarding problems you are experiencing in the thread that you got your kernel from, as they will not be answered here.
If you are having problems with certain apps, remember this is a Stock Based Rom, so please direct your questions regarding said app to the developer of the app.
I took much of my own time and effort building this ROM, typing up instructions, and creating the install video. If you ask a question in this thread that has OBVIOUSLY already been answered in this OP, the only reply you will receive from me is this:

@kjy2010 - First class job of presentation. I refuse to believe that anybody can screw up flashing your ROM after your ultra clear directions. I'm currently running Kekinash's 3.2 near stock rom but I like the look of your effort and I will flash it to my A500 as soon as I've got a spare minute. Once more thank you.

You're very kind I'll give it some thought. I did just complete a small ICS anim, more for fun than anything else but you might like to look at it. I won't bother you by attaching it here but my good friend JaeKar99 has just added a preview gif of my anim to my post which is on the last page of the thread "Publish your A500 Boot Anims......." in the Themes & Apps section.
OP - Thought I'd throw this one at you, it's only a re-hash of what I did before but more specific to your rom. I have to admit that I don't have a single ounce of artistic ability in my body so what you get from me is always pretty simple and uncomplicated. I fear that it might not be "high tech" enough for your needs but worse case it costs neither of us anything and may give you some ideas.
Latest thought.....Should it be of interest to you then the "speed" and "display period" could easily be adjusted to your requirements.
ah, nice work kjy.
No problem on taking it apart and giving it your own twist.
That is why it is there for.
Don't forget it is BigDX is the one that did start this Modding,I changed an modded the ICS stuff into it so it worked on the A500.
I also got settings icones but didn't use them because I think it makes the settings menu out of balance.
If you want some stuff let me know.
3g USB
Hi all, I'm newbie with Iconia A500, I have 16gb wi-fi model, and I want to know if this rom supports 3g USB modem?
I want to know too if can I backup the original ROM before personalize my tablet for don't lose warranty and to recover them if necessary?

Remove apps before flash
hi, kjy2010,
As you know, I'm very proud of your previous ROM, which I've flashed before. As I have Quickoffice installed, could be a problem if I remove the Polaris Office apk within the zip file (without winzipping it), before flashing this ROM?
Thanks!

First, you have to have root access, and CWM installed to flash a ROM. There are plenty of threads in this forum on the subject, please use the search function. They will guide you through root, CWM, and backup.
Second, some people have reported success using Civato's 3gmodem patch located in his thread.
Please take these other questions to the appropriate threads, not here

Installation steps:​
Please make sure all your data and files are backed up before commencing. Flashing OxygenOS onto CM does require a system wipe, so you will lose all of your data. We are actively working on an easier, more automated solution soon to be available, but for now the build must be flashed manually.
Please proceed only if you are confident in your abilities to flash a custom ROM. This guide exists to help you flash OxygenOS, but things can still go wrong if not followed correctly. While rooting and flashing will not void your OnePlus warranty, any damage caused by improper flashing is not covered under warranty.
The following instructions assume you have Fastboot and ADB installed.
Step 1
You first need to flash a recovery onto your device. We recommend using TWRP. Please download the recovery image to your computer. You can follow their instructions to flash recovery, or you can reference these steps:
Boot into fastboot mode. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down the power button and the volume up button. When you see the fastboot logo, connect your device to your computer.
In your terminal window, find the folder where you put the recovery image and run the following commands:
fastboot oem unlock (You can skip this step if your phone’s bootloader is already unlocked).
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>. Image file should be the TWRP recovery image.
fastboot reboot
You should now have the recovery installed.
Step 2
Copy oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip to your phone. On a Mac, you can use Android File Transfer.
Step 3
Boot into recovery. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down both the volume down key and the power button.
Step 4
Once you are in the recovery interface, the first thing you want to do is a factory reset. Again, you will lose all your data so please make sure you have backed up everything before doing this.
Step 5
After the wipe, go to install and find oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip. Confirm flash. This will flash OxygenOS onto your device.
Step 6
After the flash succeeds, you can reboot the device, which will take you to the new OxygenOS. Enjoy!
If you find yourself wanting to rollback to CM, Make sure you have TWRP or CM recovery on the device. Another factory reset will be needed before flashing unfortunately so make sure you backup all of you data.

Did you extract the zip? There is a flashable zip in the zip you downloaded.
There is a zip inside downloaded zip! Flash that.
