I'm excited
Whoops haha that was meant to be a happy face
This is what I've been waiting for...once you guys clean it up . Sense and 2.2 will give my Eris another year or two of useful life.
i can't believe this hasn't gotten any love. i think it's awesome, and for the first version, pretty darn usable. great work and i look forward to the next few versions.
You and Kaos need to up some screenshots..... I still have no idea what this looks like on the Eris.

And the unicorns, don't forget them!
Unicorns and Glitter!
New Version up!
Basically just changed everything to English (thanks to tazz for letting me use his files), and added speed tweaks (png optimize = speed & reduced rom size, zip align = less ram used when ran, and a kernel tweak at /system/etc/sysctl.conf that really improves speed,details can be found at the link in the original post.) rom is a little slow at first (syncing and stuff) but once by the second boot and an over clock it was flying. Also attached pictures focusing on the froyo changes to the post, and updated the post.
Thanks for all your work
notification leds?
Does the notification LED work on this rom? I know it doesn't work on Tenzo's but it doesn't say here if it does or doesn't.. Thanks and great job with the rom so far! I can't wait for the camera to work
Does this ROM have all that weird Chinese software (that weird alternate market, for instance?)
And what's the stability like?

So that it would look like CM7 just burst out of the Nook Color just like that. That would be the perfect boot animation for the NookColor, wouldnt y'all agree?
OH! How I wish I had the talent to perform such a task! To anyone who can do this, I'll be happy to DONATE!
Thanks to Suteru for creating the "Nook Boot Ver. 0.8" custom boot animation and to the CyanogenMod devs for the stock CyanogenMod7 boot animation!
I made one, it kinda sucks though.

A number of problems with it
I flattened down the cyanogen before getting rid of the black halo
Part1 misaligns with part 2
for some reason the bootanimation i pulled from my nook seems to be lower than the quality it should be. No idea on that one.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6100708/bootanimation/boot/bootanimation.zip
I would have just redone it, but the black halo is a big problem, and making or editing these things takes forever.

UPDATE:
This is definitely what I wanted! Kind of rough, but it works! Thanks, liam.lah! I hope you can work on polishing it though. Just a thought. No pressure. ^_^
I'd definitely be able to help you, but I think I lost my files in a dead hard drive. I'll look it up, though.
edit: I think I still have the original files for the first animation! I should be able to have the version you want shortly.
We'll let KitF give it a shot, if not ill try and work on a cleaned up version.
What are you using to edit these? I originally created it in AfterEffects, but I can't remember half the stuff I needed to do since it's been so long since I made it. If you know AE I can just send you the project files.
edit: I've been busy lately, so here are the after effects files if anyone wants:

Nothing, really. I just want to make it feel that CM7 is just a ROM, and that the NookColor is THE device that runs it, if you know what I mean. And combining the two I reckon is the perfect way to do that. Although if you have like more creative ideas, and want to customize/improve it a little bit, I'm not gonna stop you. As long as the bootanimation states CM7 and NookColor, I'm happy.
...on second thought, I guess you can make the bootanimation in LANDSCAPE. The reason behind this is because I primarily use my NookColor in that orientation. So basically if you're going to edit those two bootanimations, just rotate all of them clockwise once. Thanks for doing this!

Is it good?
Just installed Quarx remarkable cm10 rom and am shocked at how stable and useable it is. However i have a few questions and so if you know the answers help me out please.
is there a better default launcher (basically i had cm7 set up with custom icons on the apps on the home screen and also was able to fit 5 or 6 apps across the width and am wondering is there anyway i can do this now in jelly bean)?
is there anyway i can get the app drawer to scroll down instead of sideways?
how the heck do i get rid of that annoying google search bar at the top of my home screen?
why is there no dsp audio settings for bluetooth? is this a bug or something that hasnt yet been implemeted?
EDIT: Oh yes and what has happened to the ability to long press the buttons like search that will launch a custom action?
and rather than start a new thread... just in case i decide to bail back to cm7 kang will i need to install the froyo kernal first in recovery? for info purposes i am using a red lense defy and the gingerbread kernal i flashed before installing cm10 is the first time i have ever flashed a kernal.
Launcher
Use Apex Launcher..much better than the stock launcher...u can also remove the search bar in this one

thanks for that will give it a bash
anybody else know the answers to the other stuff.
edit:
ok wow i have just installed apex launcher and i have to say it is gonna take a good evening of sorting out there are that many options. i like it. so cheers buddy.
however i am getting this horrible lag when using the phone. sometimes it is taking upwards of five seconds for the phone to acknowledge a touch. it is extremely frustrating especially coming from c7 kang when everything and i mean everything was virtually instant. not sure if this is sort of normal expected behaviour considering cm10 is only a few weeks old but if it carries on and despite the fact i love it i will be forced to return to cm7.
you can use nova launcher it is very beautiful.
dsp setting can be reached from the music player app or from google play music app
for other tweaks, you should wait for the new nightly ROMs to bring

I've tried both. The latest quarx rom and now i'm on epys lates rom.
I'm use the holo launcher hd - it's optimized for jb and works perfect.
In both roms is the dsp manager present. For bluetooth settings you have to scroll right.
The ability for the buttons can be found in epys last build. I didn't found them on quarxs 08/04 build.

in your experience would you say epys is more stable than quarx.
i think part of my problem is that i used titanium back up to install a fair few apps with there data and maybe if i hadnt i wouldnt be encountering so many slow downs and lag but i hasten to add that i was already seeing it on the rom before i restored the apps so i dont want to blame it totally.
by the way i have found the bluetooth settings so thanks mate. i simply opened the app and it was there so i aint sure how i missed them first time off!!!
no you are right quarx build doesnt have the buttons set up as yet.
i may do a wipe and start again and may even try epys build but epy seems to be busy with other things and i dont want to be using a rom that is no longer supported. if i do i will give holo launcher a bash although i am mighty impressed with apex. already i have been able to set up the homescreen as before and the app drawer is back to one long vertical scrolling list. so we are getting there.
what i dont seem to notice is any sort of hwa going on in fact my experience is the phone runs a lot choppier and slower than when i was using cm7.
another alternative is to go back to cm7 and use one of the ics themes which in all honesty doesnt seem like a bad option to me. i will decide over the weekend when i have some time to play around. thankfully thanks to the recovery it is pretty painles to switch between builds once you have set them up.

hmm that looks great cheers mate. i will give that a try some time very soon. dont know how i missed that... thats what happens when you stop keeping up to date with development for a few months. once i had skanks cm7 installed and the phone just ran so so so well i just ceased to pay any attention to what was happening.
not read past the initial post but there it says it is for ics but i am taking it is also compatible with jelly bean?

I'm running Epsylons 06.08 build and it worked :thumbup:
Jelly powered.Defy
ok i can only imagine i have screwed something up using titanium back up because the lag is actually making the phone unuseable. i simply havent had time to fix it but i will have tomrrow and the first thing i am gonna do is a full wipe. i think i am also going to try running both epys and quarx and also use both the froyo and gingerbread kernals and see which combination works best. i am also going to remove titanium back up. if it cant handle restoring user apps and the data between platforms then it is of no use to me because google will reinstall all the apps on its own.
so i must have simply screwed it up because nobody would use the rom if it was as bad as it is on my phone. i also dont like the no wifi tethering deal. that is something that is extremely handy and if it doesnt work then even if i can get cm10 running smooth as silk then i will most likely not use it as a daily. another bug bear is the lack of flash support. i use the iplayer a lot and the fact that one needs flash to use it means jelly bean may be a step too far. i guess i want to get it running properly because it annoys me when things dont work right and by my very nature i am forced to try to fix it (it is almost a genetic defect of mine). however as i say if i cant use wifi tethering and flash then i probably wont run it as the rom i use daily.
does anyone know if ics is the same? is wifi tethering also broke with cm9?

in CM10 u can use some tehter-app from PlayStore, someone in dev thread say it worked. CM9 is the same as CM10 for me with tethering, but I really don't use it more than twice in three month.
titanium backup is bad if u restore more than the apk on CM10 nightlys, it totally ruins the system if u came from other ROM, had the same issue. I use it for apps that not from PlayStore, it's ok for that.

right installed the froyo kernal today with the latest 08/08/2012 nightly for the mb525 and i have to say there is a world of differnce. it is now running pretty damn silky and although it is lacking one or two things it is quite amazing for a build only 3-4 weeks in development. tomorrow (was super busy today) i am gonna give the ics builds a crack and also the gingerbread kernal cm10. i will then decide which one to keep.
obviously i didnt use titanium for squat diddly which i think helped.
i did try barnacle wifi tethering before and it didnt work but then again so many of my apps didnt work after the restore that it may have been that. i will give it another bash tomorrow.
really like the defy recovery app. not used this before and it makes managing roms and backups pretty sweet eh. have to say i am impressed with the level of development still going into this phone despite it being quite long in the tooth. i would have changed it months ago but there isnt anything out there built quite like it. if only moto would upgrade it make it slightly thinner, give us a better camera, a dual core snapdragon 1.5 cpu and a 4 inch screen but keep the same thin profile bezel and superb build quality and i would buy it tomorrow! i did for a week trade it for an atrix which at the time was the flagship but i sold it and bought another defy because the build quality was just totally second rate compared to the defy.
come on moto i can live with your locked bootloader and non existent support (assuming the same old same old lot of devs also came along for the ride). just give us a decent updated version sit back and watch the coin roll in.
ok i can confirm that barnacle does work and that is me sold on this rom and will now use it as my daily.
decided against trying ics because it isnt gonna get an official cm release for the defy (i dont think) and even if it does all the work is now taking place on cm10 so it doesnt make sense to drop down a release.
have to say i used the defy rom updater for the first time today. talk about being spoilt. man that app is just so damn good. i was able to back up my phone and update to the latest nightly and i didnt have to do anything in recovery... it even rebooted the phone for me!!! super stuff.
Is anyone with wifi problem?

need a bit more info mate. what is the wifi problem? in general i have no wifi issues it connects to my network and reconnects when the phone is turned on and stays connected when i am using it. so i dont.
i have decided to stay with the side swipe for the app drawer instead of going back to one long list. it makes a refreshing change.
i have also been discovering that on many apps there is a side swipe to get quick access to the next bit. the classic mistakes i have made are with the dsp manager and es file explorer. i was touching the tabs at the top instead of just swiping the screen left and right. the more i try this the more i see many apps have implemented the same useability.
another real palm job is the alarm. i have for years been tapping the plus and minus sign to set the right hour and minutes in the alarm. recently i discovered that i could simply swipe it down or up. quite mad really that i have wasted so much time without realising it.
cm10 is now running well with next to no issues. what a difference a wipe and totally clean install make.
Removing Google Search Bar
You can remove the persistent google search bar by going to Settings>Launcher>Homescreen and deselecting the Search bar option.

I should have mentioned in the op. Change the wallpaper to a static one. I meant to take live wallpapers out of the Rom. That's what'd causing that though (live wallpaper)
.. it'll be removed in 0.2 along with some other things/tweaks.
Sent from Kangdemnation
I tested the from, changed the wallpaper to static all good. It was running pretty slow so I tried to oc to lil over 800 and bumped up the lower PC as well. Froze the phone and rebooted and froze at lock screen. Had to pull the battery and wipe and reinstall. I tried to install setcpu.apk but that wouldn't install.
That's all I've been able to test so far.
Looks pretty good so far though.

I recommend renovate ice with the notorious kernel, it has always been smooth and battery life is great.
I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

I'm coming from Oreo beta - I don't recommend it. Magisk doesn't work, kernel is not battery friendly, % is dropping from 100 to 80 in no time..... also lags here and there, not everything is working as it should. Yeah beta definitely, there's room for improvement.

Nice - thanks for the heads-up!
I was tempted by the Beta, but then I knew I'd miss the little features that I'm used to (like long press back button to kill etc.0) not to mention the stability factor. But I was itching for a change in rom. I was on Batman rom for a while and then I saw the Ironman rom Note 8 port and I haven't looked back! Everything, for me, works flawlessly - got Substratum theme, using the kernel that is provided and honestly I would say this is the best possible rom available for the S8 (I was even getting tempted to jump ship to the Pixel 2 XL...) but I feel very settled once again
Let me know how you find it!

After few days of testing all I can say is AWESOME. Stable, smooth, battery friendly. And tons of customizations. It reminds me of good times on Lollipop when Xposed was working and I was using Wanam app to change everything...
One thing is driving me crazy though. Substratum! It's not working properly. I have the Sungstratum paid add-on and SwiftDark theme (I have paid for that too!). It shows that all themes applied successfully, but after reboot nothing is changed (sometimes notification bar and settings are themes, but not always). What theme are you using?

After few days of testing all I can say is AWESOME. Stable, smooth, battery friendly. And tons of customizations. It reminds me of good times on Lollipop when Xposed was working and I was using Wanam app to change everything...
One thing is driving me crazy though. Substratum! It's not working properly. I have the Sungstratum paid add-on and SwiftDark theme (I have paid for that too!). It shows that all themes applied successfully, but after reboot nothing is changed (sometimes notification bar and settings are themes, but not always). What theme are you using?

Haha yeah I remember those days!
I also had an issue with substratum but since resolved it...
When you open substratum and then it's settings, do you see sungstratum listed there (like in my attached picture)?
My issue was I was using Titanium backup to restore it and substratum, but fully uninstalling them both (and the Swift Black theme) and clean installing them from the play store again, and rebooting, made it all work
Stock and stock

I just bought Swift Black theme from play store. Uninstalled everything: substratum, add-on and themes. Rebooted. Installed everything again: substratum, add-on and black theme. Granted all permissions for substratum (I'm using Magisk). Applied theme. Restarted UI only and voila it worked for every app including dialer, contacts and gmail. Then rebooted. And dialer, contacts and gmail is all white again...
Ugh. I think I'm gonna liaise with substratum support but I don't think they would help as they already mentioned that on Samsung it CAN work (but that not mean it would).

Ahh mate that's annoying... Not sure what else to suggest
Perhaps yeah post on the substratum thread regarding the layers not sticking. I do remember having that issue but doing those steps resolved it.
I feel your pain though!

I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

Hi mate,
I have S8 950F I believe it's snapdragon so how can I install above ironman rom on my device?
Any advice appreciated

Hey, I'm not too sure if that's possible given you've got a snapdragon, but I'd certainly ask to find out for sure in their thread here:

Good luck!

Flash twrp from twrp thread, format data in twrp, flash magisk then flash ROM.

I use the Soldier ROM with NOX kernel. I don't know if is the best, but is better than the stock ROM.
Old thread but I am finally looking to root my S8 as it's getting really slow and battery is pretty ****ty. Thinking a lite rom combined with an optimised kernal is the way to go, problem is there is so many and I couldn't find this covered anywhere.
The phone is fine with Stock Pie and NX 29 kernel.
I won't back to custom roms. I used renovate ice, hades and Alexis roms, but all these 3 have awful photo quality.
Photos mean to be viewed even after 50 years, so they must be good.
That's why I prefer stock rom. Camera is such a great piece o hardware. Cheers
