battery didnt last longer.
everything else is fine
score:8/10
curious to try: x8 arc by artoseven
how bout u guys, care to share?

dont think this is the best way to do this, every person have his opinion about roms and for 1 can be good an for other bad, so in my opinion this is a waste of time, the only you must do is see a review in developers to have an idea about all rom's and of course experiment with them

totally agree with you. but its point of view from an average user like me

for example one user doesn't install rom 'xyz' because it's without timescape... for other is timescape piece of garbage inside the system and tries to remove it. you can't pleasure everyone's criterias even if you try to be as objective as possible.

hey , I tried Artoseven's Arc-X8
(+) It's 2.2
(+) Arc Launcher
(+) Stable , MDDI fixed
(+) Battery , hmm.... average..
(+) In his blog , arto put a fix which includes : radio , notification , and sms i think
(-) Gradation , good but not as perfect as racht's
(-) 3D games , sometimes lag... T.T

WooHoo - Thank you XDA-Claus

Installed 3.14 ROM
Installed Froyo
2 phones in one goodness
Installed a couple of Android Apps then time to set my WinMo back up with CHT and eye-candy goodness
I've been holding off upgrading to the new ROM cos I'm happy
with how I have it set up right now,sounds like you are a
happy bunny though...
Once you've started using Android more, you'll realise that "CHT Eyecandy" pretty much becomes meaningless
Wife has a Desire so I know what Android is all about.
Admittedly cht brought many of the Android tricks to the party but maybe I need to try another ROM as I have been a little underwhelmed by the Desire Sense appearance on the HD2 (doesn't seem to take advantage of the screen real-estate so much)
Might try the Desire HD ROM...

I use MDJ's Desire HD ROM, tis pretty good.
If you're after something speedier, try one of the many RAM based ROMs out there, they're pretty slick!
As for eye candy, there's a **** load more options for Android.. almost too much choice! I still haven't decided on what widgets to settle on yet lol
From what I have read the Froyo Sense Revo 1.7 is very stable so was my choice for thr first foray into Android and to be fair it worked straight out of the box and I d/l apps etc.
My only real complaint is the clock is huge [takes up 1/3 of homescreen] and the widgets take up way too much room so that [for example] I can't put the caledar widget and the marketplace together on the home screen; the calendar only shows one appt as well (I will learn to fix this to show more no doubt esp once you nice people helps a brother out!)
As you say I have seen the blackstone super-fast ones as well. For the time being I can live with the boot speed [may well use another bootloader rather than JMZ v4] since it all works but I may experiement in future - exceller or the mkskip loader support multiple roms I think so that might help.
I was just mighty chuffed that my rom upgrade and the android install were so slick.
I am also enjoying the apparent better reception with this rom

I use LauncherPro Plus, which lets you add its own widgets - but also lets you resize widgets. Try it out! (LauncherPro is the free version)

Battle of the MIUI roms!

So now we have several MIUI roms for N1 but which one is the best?
Stability,performance,packed goodies....
Which MIUI is the best and why for you?
Why is MIUI so special? Just go buy an iPhone, it's kind the same... Really, I don't find anything special but heavy modded graphics. What do you use MIUI features for?
It's simply the fastest roms for N1, the menus just fly
I find Enomther's really fast.

Maybe some would love the UI but hate the OS?
I have seen some people adding WP7 UI like into Galaxy S. All these just show how flexible Android can be.
That's true, but being like that, someone could just create a iPhone-like launcher touching nothing else.
If you keep using the MIUI stock Launcher than yes it looks like a far family member of iphone, but if you use the exellent ADW you gain the extra speed from MIUI + some goodies like the Themes while having an Android UI
CM7 is also very fast but unstable for me whatever is the build: dead touchscreen when calling could happen any time

I hate people who attempt to re-create WP7's UI on Android. There is no way you can properly emulate the simplicity and beauty of WP7 with static blue icons. MIUI may try to copy the iPhone over to Android, but even then you have to remember it is simply a User Interface. Android is still under there, not iOS. Everyone knows out off all the major mobile operating systems Android lacks in the UI department (opinion, of course).
And MIUI attempts to remedy that problem.
i tested [ROM] Miui-AU ROM (english/german) but it isn't that fast.
The Launcher ist laggy (compared to GO or LP) and no scrollable widgets...
i know you can use a different launcher, but then i dont need MIUI...
I just want to recall that this topic is about which MIUI is the best, not if MIUI is good or not...
Ive been using Eveek's eMIUI for a while. I reckon its the best one out of the lot simply cos its the most stable version around.. Also Ive noticed this rom is near enough stock with very minor tweaks. Compare it to others they have heavily modded the stock version which wasnt to my liking!
i had no idea MIUI was so much faster. why is it faster? i only watched one video on MIUI and it was kinda cool but i never tried it out. am i missing something by not trying it?
MIUI is always ahead of the curve when it comes to design and innovation. It was the first with lockscreen music control, the first with power control in the notification bar, the first with a built in theme manager system (with an online data base for easy theme searching and downloading), the first with FM radio on the N1 etc. Not only did it do these things first, but it does them the best.
It has an absolutely gorgeous UI (hi-resolution icons, transitions, themes and menus that blow stock Android out of the water). It's fast and has amazing battery life. The folder system for App organization is light years ahead of the app drawer, which is archaic and inefficient. Also, the support for this ROM is amazing!
Let's get real, it takes some of the best elements of the iPhone UI (ex high resolution, unified icons) and combines it with everything great about Android. Those saying it's just trying o copy the iPhone are ignorant and should really just get their heads out of their asses.
Sure, it might not be for everyone but I would encourage people to try it first before they dismiss it. I was skeptical at first as well but I've been using it for months now and have no intentions of going back to anything else. I flashed CM7 to try out but it doesn't compare, that is my opinion.
And I would recommend getting the stock ROM from miui-dev.com just because the support for the stock ROM is so much better than the MIUI ROMs here. There is an online theme database that comes as an app with the ROM anyways, so you can change up the look very easily if you choose to do so.
ya you are missing out, it is highly optimized, solid fast, great battery life, weekly updates, everything makes sense..hence why cyanogen has borrowed some ideas/stuff. Most people just talk **** about miui cuz it looks iphonish, let them be nubs because from the ground up miui has alot more development and is way more advanced than alot of other roms out there, just my two cents but they are worth more than others
I'm not sure whenever I'd consider MIUI one step ahead the current UIs. I find no user friendly evolution, just reordered things. I mean, no intelligent way to launch an application (and no, gestures are NOT the way it will be as you have to remember the gesture), no "outstanding" graphics (I'm not impressed by them, not after 5 minutes handling it).
Is it fast? People in this thread have already replied: it's not fast, it may be faster than CM (which IMHO is getting too choppy due to too many under-the-hood things users are not interested in), but it's not faster than Enomther's, for example. No way.
Why is it followed then? Really simple: it's not the usual CM ROM. If only there was another launcher, people may not idolize this ROM. Kudos to the developers for developing it though, otherwise CM would be the (choppy) standard.

I well tested it as I pushed forward the italian translation, but I always been perplexed about its app management and launcher in general. Yes, I prefere the archaic and - IMHO - efficient current one. And no, there is not so much other code I'd import in any other ROM. From my point of view it's just a (shining?) iPhone UI with FM radio. Kudos for them releasing the radio part. That's all.

Can you give some examples of an intelligent way to launch an application? Just curious.
I'm partial to formel. He keeps up with the latest and its a one shot you're done rom. No need to fiddle with the language packs. I was using enom before which was a very good rom. I get similar batt with formel and the performance is a little smoother. I'm using adw as I'm not fond of the iphone layout anyways. IMO this is a good start for those that want to scope out miui and see what its about. Its pretty much bug free and stable for day to day use which for me is important. I need my phone to work.
I was an Enom fan too, complete rom and very stable but...you get tired pretty soon!
I used to play with Rodriguez's MIUI because it was full of goodies but God knows why he disapeared all of a sudden
Now I am trying Moviestar HD which seems stable but the Theme app can't apply themes downloaded even renamed into mtz, I heard MIUI-AU is the best on Desire but its adaptation on N1 is unstable
The themes work on formel except for the sms skinning. Dont believe that one is figured out yet. The rodriguez rom is good but is 3 releases back now and it has a fair few bugs I turned up in just a few days of usage. Overall the goodies didnt equal out to a newer and quite a bit more tuned up version of miui. I have not tried moviestar yet. Frankly I"m pretty happy with formel. It flat works.
I figured that I can use a custom theme via File Manager but sms app doesn't change like on Formel.
I think a newer theme app is available because it says so when I use it but when I try to download the link is not working!
I hope in next versions of Formel and Moviestar they will use the new fixed one, dunno about MIUI-AU

[Q] CM7 Roms Vs. GB Sense Roms?! Lets Clear our way (devs. and all users)

All of us know that Android development on our HD2s' has reached a very great time and now we are running the roms and android versions that very few new devices experience them officially.
The reason i am creating this thread is this that...after using CM7 roms for while (nearly 5 month) yesterday i finally switched to dungphp sense 3.0 rom (v1.7) and at the first sight i see my HTC HT2 (the evergreen Phone) alive with colors. because as much as we know the bigest annoying thing about CM7 roms is the pale color look and dark mode that they have...
but sense style and more colorful shapes which reminds us of a original HTC phones, really has increased my interest to HD2 once more time
but besides all this, the sense roms ar very slow and as far as as all of us know...glitches and some other bugs are really annoying.
and this happens where, that all CM7 roms now are really bug free and suer fast on our HD2, which makes the LEo more than a Native android device!!! (as my own experience when my friend see my HD2 running Android (CM7) and comparing that with their own devices like Desire,Desire HD or Desire S...my device is as fasst as them and sometimes more interesting due to CM7 special features) but with CM7 my device screen is like black and white infront of them, and it reaally annoys you!
.
.
.
so after saying this, i want to ask a questions from you and esp. the greatest HD2 developers: Whats the best way for HD2 android development in this (as i think) critical time? i mean developing CM7 roms, which are really 99% bug free and super fast to a more colorfull and better screen performance or developing Sense 3.0 roms to make them faster and trying to see no glitches?
and WP7? i think it has no chances against android...just great 720p playing!
.
.
.
i think this thread will really help us, by knoing the idea of all HD2 Android users. so please enter here and leave your comments to make our HD2 ever better.

Well i don't really get your problem. Why don't you just use a theme for cm7. Think there are a lot out there in the xda forums and i'm pretty sure there are some colourful under them. Or just try a miui build. They are fast and stable like cm and can be skinned and customized like no other ROM and it's really easy...
And there always will be both. The cm roms and the sense ROMs. I think there are more than enough devs for our hd2 so that they don't have to concentrate all on improving one kind of ROM. Some of us also like the clean and not so colourful stuff.
Sure,but MIUI roms are somehow just beautifull and not useful...there more different from the way we knew android. I have tried them but after just few days dissapointed and changed to CM7 and now sense 3.0...
Yes themes for CM7 may be a good choice but,i meant the total base of CM7 roms are dead colors.

I have to agree. I never have seen the interest in MIUI like other people do. It's just uninteresting for some reason.

One thing I will say since I've tried MIUI before, is the great many themes for it. There are what seems like an endless number of all different kinds of themes for MIUI. But I still think my dislike for MIUI stems from the lack of elegance it has. An example of this, even though it can be replaced, of course, is the stock MIUI analog clock. It just looks pitiful to me. But it's indicative of the whole system. There just doesn't seem to be any elegance or refinement to it.
i have to disagree. i also don't like the miui launcher and use go launcher with it, but it's much more functional than cm7 or something else. for example the dockbar with all the quicklinks on the second page, flashlight when pressing home button while the phone is locked, the messaging app, theme program. you can do much more with a rom that has the miui base and if you don't like the look of the iphone just install another launcher than you have your elegance back.
first i thought the same about miui but after using it for a while there is no alternative for me in terms of functionality and customizability.
and the most important thing, it's fast and only has 2-5mAh in standby.

sure it is true...when we install a MIUI rom, are HD2 seems just beautifull with that so much of themes but as you said the very first features we benefit in our CM7 or Sense roms are lost in this kind of roms...
even the MIUI launcher is not so customizable, as an example you can not make a shortcut for your word,pdf or... files!...
anyway i don't think MIUI would be the future for our HD2s

you mean tht these small feature are really superior to that of CM7 roms?! like special features that we have in CM settings? idon't think so even the MIUI rom is comperable in the features to sense roms but they are beautifull and like CM7s' roms fast...no doubt in this.
but would you tell me the features that make MIUI roms very special? which makes them paying more attention than CM7 or sense roms?

I'm going to have to eat my words. I downloaded an SD build of MIUI, the 3dak version, and am seeing elegant operation. It is actually compelling me to like it. The flashlight shortcut is brilliant! It is exactly what a flashlight should be; right there easily accessible without fumbling in the darkness to find it.
Sorry to keep the offtopic going but regarding MIUI I have only one oppinion.
It's great, it looks ok ( maybe a little to playful for me ) but the gradient banding is a great turn off for me. When they will do a dithered version specially for hd2 or ( so help us God ) they fix the banding issue, I will give a second thought to MIUI.
Oh. And facebook calendar sync.

What Feature do you have in cm7 Settings that miui doesn't have? Please tell me. I only know overclocking and therefore i was using setcpu even on cm ROMs. There is not one feature i'm missing from cm on miui. And yes these small things like quick access to flashlight from the lockscreen make a ROM special for me because it's just useful.
I didn't say miui is the future for our hd2, i said that there's no reason for the devs concentrating on a single type of ROM cause so much people are working on hd2 android.
Miui would just be the answer of the things you were complaining about.

Can you explain what banding issue you mean? I never heard of that or experienced any problems i didn't have on other builds.
Ok, some might say this is picky.
Gradient banding is when the screen displays more colors than the screen actually supports at that time.
More details here: http://origin.arstechnica.com/news.media/Colour_banding_example01.png
And creates that stepping effect that really looks terrible. Yes, it has no effect on stability, functionality or anything else. It's just a visual artifact that for me makes it quite clear that it's just a port.
The best way to see the banding is to enter the dialer in MIUI . Give it a try and report back if you see smooth gradients. I would be surprised.
thanks. ok your right. never really noticed it. the ring of the sense 3 lockscreen for example has also gradients but there is no banding. i also can see it in the stock launcher but because i don't use it i don't care.
really never noticed that.

so,we are not making a war man...be calm please , we are just discussing...
so about the features...e.g: LOckscreen gestures (which makes mopre than that shortcut for flashlight in MIUI,because you can acces just everything by adding a gesture in your lock screen not just flashlight ;-) ), other features like tablet tweaks, so many features for light sensor and display that MIUI does not have! or many others ;-)
but i am not saying MIUI is bad!! beceuse the first time i my self installed it, i really enjoyed alot ,esp. from the way it looks and make our HD2s' alive and very colorful and goodlooking with so lots of theme stuff.
but the most annoying things are this that its taking its origin from the IOS and not android, we love android,and we all believe that its more powefull than IOS because its open source. even if we use a different launcher still the setting is just the way i said...any way,
i think if we could have MIUI graphics on CM7 we have all that we need.
anyone could make this possible?
This thread is ridiculous...
"You know what I like about Sense 3 ? It has very beautiful color !!!
You know what I like about CM7 ? It so fast and useful !!!"
You know what I like about MIUI ? It look so pretty and feels like an iPhone !!!"
Please, just be grateful for the versatility of our devices and to the devs still working on it, although it's getting old.
The rest is just personal tastes and doesn't deserve to be discussed...or polled...

if you use this features it's ok but i never needed them. tablet tweaks are for tablets and i personally don't like my statusbar on the bottom. but this is all personal liking. i also never needed additional display or light sensor settings. sure it's good to have it implemented but i never missed it on other roms. and most of this are things that can also be done by a third party app. the only thing i would like to have from cm are the toggle additions where you can automatically switch off 3g when your connected to wifi and something like that. these are really useful but most other things are not really needed for a phone. at least i don't need them.
miui just looks like ios. it's still open source and who cares how the settings look when you installed another launcher? i go to settings once per month or less. and i think that they aren't bad on miui. you can find what your searching for very fast.
but as said this is all personal taste and there are enough developers to make roms for the tastes of every people, so there's no need to concentrate on developing one kind of rom.

if you use this features it's ok but i never needed them. tablet tweaks are for tablets and i personally don't like my statusbar on the bottom. but this is all personal liking. i also never needed additional display or light sensor settings. sure it's good to have it implemented but i never missed it on other roms. and most of this are things that can also be done by a third party app. the only thing i would like to have from cm are the toggle additions where you can automatically switch off 3g when your connected to wifi and something like that. these are really useful but most other things are not really needed for a phone. at least i don't need them.
miui just looks like ios. it's still open source and who cares how the settings look when you installed another launcher? i go to settings once per month or less. and i think that they aren't bad on miui. you can find what your searching for very fast.

Yes i do agree about not cancentrating on one kind...
But the features,i think are really useful,and lots of people are using them,i myself use lots of them daily.
By the way about being this discussion personal...,yes sure it is.

New ROM, pitch your ideas!

People of the X10
Me and a few other people are looking to make an easy yet enjoyable android experience.
Now as everyone knows Android is a vast and powerful operating system giving you control over almost every aspect of the OS, and the X10 is a brilliant device to run it on.
So i ask you people, what might you like in a ROM? where currently aiming at music based ROM, with a social interaction aspect also.
So please feel free to pitch ideas in, any idea you may think of. (Within the reaches of android and the phone its self)
Hope to hear from you all soon!
Hmm a music + social oriented
Sounds good to me
Is it going to be a stock based Rom or MIUI based??
Whatever the case how about adding a little eye candy to it
For eg the 1.6 lockscreen

Wolfbreak based using his FreeKernel ROM and maybe ulbl ROM later depending on how it all works, and tried the 1.6 lockscreen its ok but its a bit weak on the ROM, thinking of GoLocker for it

I think the wolfbreak's as base is good idea
Recently beats audio has been ported, u could use it u know since the Rom could be a music oriented one
And thanks for trying the 1.6 lockscreen but don't u think rather than using an app it would be better to use a stock lockscreen??
.
Or u could use a lockscreen like ics style
Example would be like the one in dark edition hd Rom
.
By the way I'm on locked boatloader so if u'r making for unlocked ones then I'm out of luck

A really Stable one, that would be great for a change

My number one wish that might never come true: the ability to use the Xperia arc camera app on the x10. There, I said it! Yes, I'm crazy... Would be awesome though...
Essentially I would love to see a photography oriented Rom. I remember seeing an older 2.1 based room for the x10. The dev was improving the functionality of the camera, though I'mnot sure how... If I find the thread link, I'll post it here!
Oh, and make Koney famous!

Hey I have got another idea for you
However it's really really difficult to implement as I have heard in the forums..
.
How about bringing Mediascape ??
.
If that's not possible then how about making an app similar to it
U know which can bring our music, photos & videos together
.
I know this might not happen but it would be great if u could somehow do it

I think make a ROM rock stable, good battery life.
...Would love something with an awesome music player with equaliser, good camera,
####would also love the auto restore app via goofle as soon as you flash the Rom, so that we don't have to install apps one by One,
.. for lockscreen why don't you guys check out Metro UI LOCKSCREEN FROM GO LAUNCHER, its amazing and good shortcut to get through to diff apps.
### Would love battery percentage than stock battery icon. Status bar icon to go green or blue when connected..
### for drop down menu bar you guys can write your initials as your TM
### also if possible get us the option to kill task by pressing back key.. We then don't have to get ąn auto killer app
Hope you like the suggestions...

Am sorry to say Mediascape cant be ported over, i think wolfbreak attempted this and he couldnt do it, just destined to stay on the 2.1

1 where using Wolfbreaks ROM, as far as i know only one bug which has been fixed already with bravia install, il check that auto-reinstall app also for you and see what i can do, where going to use a galaxy Nexus theme, but il UOT a battery clock and maybe include T.E.A.Ms battery bar, am not sure about the status bar, il look into that tho Lockscreen is Go EX as standard, ive been testing this over the last few days, so just install it also, you back to press cant be done on this build type, cyanogenmod has that method, but its never been done on here
Hope that answers your questions people! and thanks for the ideas!

Hey pal I'm liking where you're heading
Just two requests
.
In the video u said that u want the Rom to be as close to galaxy nexus
I appreciate that but please try and keep the camera as it is
.
And I don't know if it's possible but can we control the music player from the lockscreen??
I mean can u add a music controller to the lockscreen??
Example would be like achtojans semc debrand engine Rom
.
Other than liking where this Rom is heading
I liked the lockscreen and the app menu the most

and as you stated opera mini will be stock browser I would suggest that Dolphin mini might be a better choice with its features with smoothness

I understand what you mean with the music lock screen been looking at it my self, at the moment im unsure if GO Locker supports it, if not il see if one can be made with this we did have a request for the Arcs camera, which i presume is same as X10 Camera, if not we shall put up a file with the stock.

Discussion - What ROM Features You Prefer To See ? - LP 5.1

Hello everyone,
I'm cooking a good taste ROM, but i don't like to make a " known " ROM features, with nothing new .
So, what do you prefer to see in a Custom ROM for Lollipop 5.1 for our beloved Xperia Z1 ?
good job bro in your upcoming rom realize I wish a rom with new Sony concept with 4K record a good sound mod. battery also the main problem in lollipop roms, no roms now Can compare with kitkat screen time anyway brother every one has a different wishes so I hope you wont be confused with people's complaints and questions
Good Job
double tap to wake, good sound mod and 4k video recording.
1. 300% total blacked out lollipop 5.1.1. firmware.
Yes, I supercalifragilisticexpialidociously hate the constantly changing colors. Don't get me wrong, the matte look is what I like, which is why I have 2 motorcycles that are both matte black colored, but this chameleon thing is just.... @#$%^&*() !!!!
2. Put back the original Sony Walkman logo & app please, same look (but blacked out), same feel, same menu/configuration screens/options BUT with a much louder audio output that doesn't break the audio quality when the volume is cranked up.
3. Highly, extremely debloated right off the bat but fully functional smartphone. Please have a look at this.
4. No added "Settings" on the Settings page.
5. No modified About phone page.
I honestly do not know if this is possible. You can have the Developer option already listed in the Settings page, but on the About phone page, at the bottom where is says Build number. Turn that into an option so when tapped on, the it opens another page with all the About ROM, About Kernel, About Author, About etc., put on for custom firmwares. So in that way it looks like a stock and official Sony firmware, but it really isn't.
6. Native double tap to wake and double tap to sleep function
7. Time lapse
Not a fan of 4K recording too because it eats too much space, not all phone can readily watch 4K recordings yet. Same with TV sets unless your the ultra rich or you always have to have the newest TV set that has 4K option on it.
8. Manual Camera controls like that of DSLR
Off course it still won't compare to the real DSLR cameras but to at least have a much better control over the camera would be nice.
8. Full screen contacts picture
9. Child lock
I don't know if you can ever call it native or embedded, but a child lock that isn't a 3rd party app I guess would be nice.
10. App lock
Like that of Clean master. Also same with #9. I don't know if you can ever call it native or embedded, but a non-3rd party app too.
A highly debloated ROM with a good sound mod and some screen saturation controls along with better battery tweaks and double tap to wake.
Sony concept OS in our device would be superb.
Full layers compatibility would be great too.
Sent from the future.
im a big fan of customization, so hopefully there is some difference.
Do you mind with a ROM size 1.6GB ?
Offcourse the actual ROM isn't 1.6 it's a light ROM, but with Mods selection and Aroma it's 1.6GB .
So you can control the ROMs Mods not the opposite.

Hi bro, maybe u can change sound control cause youtube sound is very low.. ?

@abo hani - suggestion if you don't mind: put up a poll if people would like Sony Stock or AOSP. And oh, yeah I'm reading more and more about layers - I like the total black out it's giving at least on the screenshots shown in Google Play store. If layers will keep the customization-friendliness going but maintaining the debloated-ness (if even remotely possible) that would be cool.

Stock offcourse, i'm not seeing " awesome " stock ROMs, every dev is putting random Mods, and i've tested most of the ROMs, they are not good as expected .

I'm gonna develop a stock based ROM, AOSP ROMs are not in my developing region, if you mean " dark / light " apps, yeah .. i'm gonna put them and believe me, the users gonna control the ROM features in every way, so you gonna feel like a ROM dev when you put your own customization .

@abo hani if you can add these too to your list it would be awesome: Battery Life, atleast a average day's use like 6+ SOT should be good.... Awesome sound experience, i am not saying stereo mod, Just a lot louder than stock and good clear audio... Camera mods would be good, even some third party camera apps, if they really improve the performance...
Last of all and most important, it would be good if it is a UltraSlim version of stock, like just OS with fully operational phone... And if needed add the rest as add-ons... I would prefer to have the mods implemented directly than using Xposed...
That's all.... That should be perfect.... I am not asking for an ETA (You can just skip it if you want to) but when you are planning to start it?? (Just Curious)
Are you going to use a existing kernel or you are cooking a new one for your rom??(Again Just Curious)

Kernel, i will put an option, i won't force the user to use a kernel, you can either use the kernel in options or the current one.
for ETA, i've already designed the banners & logos .. and put the plan for it, gonna start tonight
You won't be disappointed
Please take a look at the system UI icons. The mobile signal and the battery icon are too far away from each other, it makes our status bar very ugly IMHO.
