CRONUS v 2.00
This is based off of the Spaceman aospMOD v1.1 that a.n was building. Well, I decided to take his existing rom and add to it.
What's new? (12-26-2010)
-Two different Kernels to choose from:
SetiroN v1.4.3 1280 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828052)
supercurio Voodoo 5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760)
-UGJL2 Modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391)
-MiuiMusic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862056)
-AppWidgetPicker (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828)
-ADW Launcher 1.3.3
-Browser bookmark icon is now red
-Corrected colored menus
-Corrected icons in quick launch pull down menu
-New notification/pull down bar
-New notification window
-Removed jog tabs from lock screen
-TouchWiz Calendar
-Mms app from CM6.1
-Spare Parts - I recommend setting Window animations/Transition animations to "fast."
Install
1. Backup all your data, a CWM backup is nice to have
2. Flash to Stock
3. Copy Cronus ROM to internal SD Card
4. Reboot into Recovery Mode
5. Flash Cronus via CWM ALL data will be wiped
6. Full Reboot - Wait for phone to start up
7. Cool apps to update in the market or links for the apk
a. SGS Tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8063408&postcount=1)
b. BLN Control (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823922)
c. Voltage Control (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829731)
d. SetCPU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419)

awesome, let me know how it goes. I have just found 1 error so far. Got a FC on the contacts, but when I opened it again it was fine. Let me know if you have any other issues.
so far i am loving it
Great job.
It is just amazing this rom has now survived two devs who bailed on it(for good reasons, not hating).
1.) Again as with the others fast fast fast and with the OC/UV kernel and running everything as ext4 its smoking fast
2.) love the new framework mods, very gingerbready
3.) New market is freaking awesome!
4.) did i say fast!
The only thing i could think of would be the new swipe that is out. But i know some people dont use it so i am not going to harp on a personal preference!
Nice work good sir!
edit: just found that my market is crashing on me. I am running TB right now so i will let that finish and then reload to see if anything helps out! Otherwise good though! Thanks for the work

No problem....I am just glad to contribute something to the community and I am grateful for the awesome developers that we do have around here to make all of these roms possible!

man, awesome timing....just did a roundabout with the darky's JPU that's based on 2.2.1 and after hours of going through the long install it still paled in comparison to aospMOD
i dont think people realize how amazingly fast this ROM is here.....in fact, there was a version of 1.0 that was linked in the original thread by a guy named tim that incorporated setiron's kernel into it and i'll be damned if i ever find anything as fast as that ROM
i'll give this one a go, though....apparently if you give it the ol' circle-jerk thread title people will actually download it
just a word of polite criticism, btw
the theme on this thing is better suited to black notification bar themes
i never updated to 1.1 on aospMOD for that reason alone (he did a similar theme with the green battery, etc etc).....the plain ol' vanilla theme with black icons is as good as it gets.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at the camera today. I was not having any errors, but it should be an easy fix. The bootani, yeah when I loaded it last night it appears that the one I snagged just had the initial boot screen, and nothing else. Will get this fix soon. Thanks!
great rom...just did some gps nav and the tracking was great...it was only about 4 miles and 6 turns but tracked perfectly in first test.
the one thing i am missing is the ability to SPEAKNOW.
Is there a way to enable or reinstall (specifically the speaknow microphone is gone from google search bar and is gone from where i used it even more frequently Google Nav).
nevermind just had to reinstall voice search from market and it restored
I have been cowering in the dark like a scared little girl for almost 3 months now with my vibrant. All i had the guts to go and try amidst all this developement was the OCLF lagfix by Ryan. OH BOY OH BOY i had a 2500 quadrant score that i could proudly show anyone... ya that and a 9 hour battery life and checking the net always hoping for the... ahem... froyo update.
That is until i got fed up and brooke loose.... Team Whiskey presented the Vibrant world with their custom ROM Nero 3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883379
I mean The boys do a good job explaining the specs so i won't go into that, i simply wanted this thread to put ANYONES mind at ease who is sitting the fence on this one, take the plunge bretheren.
I've had it for 3 days and here are my beautiful experineces..
-My brother Had the same setup i did, stock 2.1 with OCLF. And today we sat down and did a comparrison. After 11 hours of light use ( I was working, but handful of texts and a few calls) but same for scenerio for him, I was sitting at 75, and he had 43 on his battery, and that is a exponential decay, i Made it from waking up at six to bedtime with more than half left, and i'm a night owl.
I am a testimant to the fact that OCLF (lagfix not root) is a energy hog.
-Everything you have heard TW work so hard to provide us in thier time, they have included this in the ROM, so in my personal opinion its the snappiest and smoothest ROM available. my quadrant score is around 1800 with voodoo lagfix. So i am also a testimant to the myth that quadrant scores can be very dishonest.
I'm no dev, but i am a heavy USER, and i am well read about the vibrant. So post all your holdups here and we'll try and get them taken care of .
Preflash checklist:
1. Do all your backups, nandroid, titanium backup, etc..
2. Disable any and all Lagfixes
3. Hold onto your butts, this is gonna be fun

2. Gmail: on of my beefs with the nero was that when you get and email or sms message, the two notification icons look almost the same, well the gmail mod changes the gmail notification to the white and red gmail icon, no more confusion

New found mods
1. libflashplayer.so.fix.10.1.105.6 (1).zip (3.55 MB): HEY A HULU HACK!!! So this allows you to watch hulu from your phone, but as of now its pretty slow, but give her a go, at least its SOMETHING. so here are the steps to install
a. Download zip to pc, unzip, and put the actual file unzipped onto sd card
b. Use root explorer, go to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib, and replace file with one you just downloaded, be sure to change permissions for user to write.
c. open broswer now, and in settings (i use dolfin HD) change "user agent" to desktop.
2. nero_nexus_boot_and_shutdown.zip (3.77 MB): Made by jocelyn so its safe. Its that fancy 4 flying color bootup and shutdown, very nice. clockworkrecovery flash, and as with all her stuff, it takes several minutes to bootup the first time, just be patient, after that its back to normal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFSEsEZnnE
Proven Boot and shutdown animation/sound modification methods for NERO 3:
1. Gravis 86 Provided a great website to some software to make MORE of linda talking if you like http://cepstral.com/demos/
-I threw is "Bossman, you have a text", and "email awaiting". If thats your fancy, then download the cepstral software, with it create a few notifications, and the default save as a .wav file. You need to convert them to .ogg (lots of free converstion software out there). Then with ROOT explorer just slap them in /system/media/audio/notifications. this way when you go into sms message settings and click "choose ringtone" it will show up on the list.
-For bootup and shutdown mods follow this great thread http://androidforums.com/fascinate-...change-bootup-shutdown-animations-sounds.html. I can confirm his methods for bootup animation, shutdown animation, and shutdown sound all work great, as do all his animations posted. Only thing i can't get to work is bootup sound. May i suggest droid soiling the mac apple with his urine
Tips:
-When replacing bootanimation and sounds files. Caps matter, must be spelled EXACTLY as the origional file, and you can just change the old ones name if you want to keep it handy.
-Must reboot for it to take effect
-set permissions by long click, as user: rw and the other two as r and r. so it should be rw-r--r--

That's what I love about Android....so many ways to do so many things. No idea what switchpro is, don't use LP or BW.
First Pic:
1. ADW (you can use either regular ADW EX)
2. Use the swipe down (or up or whatever) to hide the taskbar
3. Battstat for the battery widget
4. Weather Bug Elite for weather widget
5. Clokr Evolution for the clock/date
6. Found the wallpaper on Flikie
7. ADW theme is default, but icons at bottom are from "ADW.Theme.Two (WhitVert)
8. Power Widget is stock Power Control from the Nero v3 ROM
Second Pic:
Mostly the same as above, just put in the AppBrain & SetCPU (color it to your desire) widgets.
Bluetooth and WiFi widgets are from CurveFish
Green Gmail is form the Gmail Unread Count widget
ROM is Nero V1
This ROM is hands down the best I have used yet. The others are great and all the devs deserve a big thanks and a lot of credit.
This ROM is just so smooth and FAST. It runs with my Nexus S with no problem and finally makes the Vibrant feel the way it should stock. Just the right amount of TW and all the goodness of vanilla.

I've tried lots of wrongs, but this one sure feels right!
Nero V3 is my daily driver. I have voodo enabled. It is fast and smooth.
I have not found any problems with this Rom. I have added joclyn's stay on fix when plugged in, her battery mod, then added the stock icons with color (not green) and circle battery.
Ya i guess that is technically the point, but to me happy reviews and pics are as good as proof as anything, so this is all gold.
Lolcopter, I'm really diggin the wallpaper, where did you find that? And I glanced over that blue keyboard mod, is it swype, one of the other keyboards, or for all of them?

Alright,
So, like most of you, I am anxiously waiting the day a stable AOSP build of ICS comes out for our phones. I saw the SamMobile leaks come and go, I saw the CM9 alpha being released, and while I have immeasurable respect to the entire dev scene going on with ICS and CM9 none of the ROMs that have come out are stable enough for daily use.
Well, I needed something to scratch my ICS itch. I installed a theme over CM7, no use. I installed a theme of MIUI, no use. Everything came close, but nothing quite fit the bill. So earlier today I set out to make my phone look and feel as ICS as possible - and I believe I managed to do just that... and I now jokingly refer to my phone as running the GingerCream operating system This whole thing is based off of CM7, but there are elements that don't require CM7 if you want to apply them to your current ROM.
Its important for me to note that absolutely none of the things posted here are my work! All I did was experiment with a ton of different resources that each excel in bringing one specific element of the ICS experience to our phones, and combine them. Well, I can say that I finally think I put together something that will hold me over until a stable AOSP-based ICS build comes to our phone, and I'm pretty sure it can hold you over too. Without further ado, the process:
Step 1
Install the latest CM7 build you can get.
I personally downloaded and installed update-cm7-galaxys2-20111227 from here.
Step 2
Download the following zip archive: Link.
This zip file contains a whole bunch of sources (fonts, sounds, animations, wallpapers, etc) that are properly organized. Extract this archive somewhere accessible - I will be referring to it throughout this guide.
Step 3
Install Sonny Sekhon's ICS Theme: Link.
This theme is fantastic, and built specifically for the T-Mobile Theme Engine present in CM7. When you apply it, ignore the missing assets alert, and reboot your phone.
Step 4
Install ADW EX: Link.
Yes, it costs money - but it has two major things going for it:
1. It supports folders that look almost exactly like the ones in ICS.
2. Its smooth as all hell. Don't be fooled by thinking it has the same performance as the regular ADW launcher - with a live wallpaper in the background my phone remains buttery smooth.
Overall, I've tried a whole lot of launchers, and this is most definitely my favorite.
Step 5
Install the ADW ICS Theme: Link.
Apply it. Now, for some reason my app launcher icon in the dock did not change - I fixed this by dragging it out to the desktop, editing it, changing its icon and dragging it back to the dock bar.
Step 6
Install the ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper: Link.
Its free, it works, its sexy, 'nuff said.
Step 7
Replace the bootanimation.
Navigate the zip archive you extracted earlier. Look for the "Boot Animation" folder, inside is a bootanimation.zip file. Make a backup of the original bootanimation file, and push our file to "/system/media/". Reboot your phone.
By the way, we're going to reboot the phone a lot. I don't know if its absolutely necessary, but I do just to avoid any weird mishaps along the way. I advise you do the same.
Step 8
Install the Roboto font.
Install and run Font Changer once, then navigate the GingerCream zip archive and look for the "Fonts" folder. Inside are four font files - copy them to the .fontchanger folder on your phone's SD card. Run Font Changer again, choose "Roboto - Reguler", and reboot the device.
Step 9
Install the transition animations.
Navigate the GingerCream zip file and find the "Transition Animations" folder. Push the zip file inside to your phone, and install it via recovery. Easy enough.
Step 10
Install ICS sounds.
Navigate the GingerCream zip file and find the "Sounds" folder. Push the zip file inside to your phone, and install it via recovery. Again, easy enough.
Step 11
Install WidgetLocker: Link.
Yes, it costs money - but I think I've tried ALL other lockscreen replacements, and this one actually has smooth animation and the ICS theme built in. It will also use the live wallpaper for its background.
Step 12
Install the ICS Keyboard: Link.
This is the one I use... works well, and it has a bunch of downloadable dictionaries for different languages.
And... that's it! You're done. The GingerCream zip file also includes static wallpaper images and launcher icons in case you don't want to use ADW EX - even though, again, I can't stress how smooth and beautiful this launcher looks.
What will this thread be without screenshots? This is how my phone looks after doing all the steps above (attached). Obviously I can't show you animations or sounds, so take my word for it - they look damn good, and they're damn smooth.
I hope you've enjoyed this guide! If you have any comments/questions/additions, don't hesitate to write 'em. Happy holidays!
I just use Checkrom revo with the ICS theme. GB with TW and ICS theme=perfect.
Haha, I'm digging this thread. And I'm gonna retweet this.

If TW is your thing, good for you I personally can't stand it. Still, you could pick up some parts of the guide - for example, the keyboard / live wallpaper / lockscreen.

im no dev so just asking
isnt there anyway to use the ICS phone and contacts [including fav. category] in a gingerbread rom ?
cause thts 1 think i find to b really good , and the only visual things missing from the mods posted above
asking cause back when i owned a spica there was a frozen-eclair rom [froyo-eclair mix] , so mayb this can also b done ....
I have similar on my phone, but I used GO Launcher with ICS theme and there you can get GO Locker, which is similar to ICS locker, but is free. Also GO Launcher with ICS theme on CM7.1 with ICS theme looks great, very close to real ICS.

Maybe there's a way, I'm not a dev either. But right now it's not available, and I think we would all rather the devs to work on the ICS port itself rather than porting apks to work in Gingerbread

Yeah, I gave Go Locker a try. I had three problems with it:
1) It requires you to use Go Launcher as your launcher, which doesn't have ICS-style folders
2) The animation on the lockscreen is really choppy, and it really detracts from the overall experience.
3) You can't set the live wallpaper as the wallpaper for the lockscreen if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, if you're using CM7, you can still grab the transition animations / sounds / fonts / wallpapers / keyboard / etc. - I found that when combined it really works together to create a very authentic ICS look and feel.
Thanks for the guide! This is a perfect setup until a stable release of the CM9 is available for the SGSII!
Would like to recommend the exDialer with the ICS theme to get T9 dialing and the ICS look Just makes it perfect!
Thanks again.

I'm addicted to t9 dialing, so it's a must for me. On another note, I see the calendar and the messaging app is not themed, any solutions for that? or did I go wrong somewhere?

Nice one
But I am too lazy to do all that and worst of all I ain't rooted yet as find the SGS2 is great as it is for the time being
Having said that the GOOD NEWS is that we will get a stable ICS release in January from the same people who leaked the first two * so fingers crossed*
Once again a good post for those who wanna go for it
^^Who said it's going to be stable??

Nope, the calendar and the messaging app aren't themed. I try to avoid installing too many additional apps to replace stock ones, so I avoided installing things like GO SMS or calendar apps. I also didn't find these apps to detract from the overall feel of the phone, personally.
Brilliant - good work.

Nice job as always.
Is there any themes out there that changes the default icons for Phone, Contacts and Whatsapp? Those are the only 3 icons that are ruining the look for me right now. Using ADW EX.
The answer is yes

Yep sure, just download ADW EX theme packs (I use ADW elegant)
After doing this just simply:
-Long press your icon.
-Click edit.
-Select ADW theme packs and pick ADW elegant *or your choice
-Select your new icon.
-Done.
There's a section of this in my 3D UI tutorial vid.. Hope that helps!

In terms of battery how much of a difference do you find over touchwiz, i had done this with my galaxy s2 previously using goEX and ADW but found the battery to be 15% less on average, using the same widgets etc. Is that old news now and do any of these widgets have any noticeable drain, as it does look fantastic.
you wouldn't mind sharing all those wallpapers, would you?
Nice video. The suggested apps should certainly augment to make the ULTIMATE NOTE even more interesting...
I froze the original launcher. Is there a way to make the interface look a certain way in landscape (like your interface) and a totally different look and interface in portrait mode? Would I have to keep two launchers active in order to achieve this and swap launchers depending on if I want to be in landscape or portrait? I think having two active launchers would slow the note down if thats what I had to do...
You showed SVOX in this vid. Did you ever try Ivona? It certainly needs more space but IMO it's way better.
How did you get the background To change as you flipped through the home pages?

After watching your clips, I go wild installing live wallies here and there. Not too fond of the aquatic wallpapers though PP, and I notice you may not have checked this one out (market.android.com/details?id=com.ramdroidstudios.livewallpaper.fireflies) which is far more playful and fun than staring at 'season zen' of that nature. I do love 'blue skies' a lot, thanks for recommending that!
Installed the A.I Keyboard and it's great. As a former WP7 user, I'm loving the theme and "click" sound from the WP7 keyboard. The keys are larger and I can type fast as well. Thanks!
Well i was look for new launcher came across this.
I installed it works OK still needs some work have a look!
Called Full screen launcher full version has alot more 3D effects.

I bought the full version to try it out. So far so good. Runs pretty smoothly on the Iconia. Thanks for the heads up.

I tried it, but I dont like it. The one long continuous home screen is cool, but I dont like the dullness that is the app drawer. All I want is the stock launcher with the ability to go to 1 home screen and change the grid size. Anyone know of such a thing for honeycomb?
i do not get the need to change to launcher ui.when I have my tablet in my hand im looking at a app I use. Don't care much for all the not needed flash .keep it simple save the CPU cycles and memory for the apps and browser.
With that said the pics look nice. Just dont see tthe point
Good responses I didn't like it cuz I have SPB shell and this launcher still needs alot of work to it in my eyes. That being said FOR THOSE THAT WANT CHANGE and don't wanna spend 15 on a 3D launcher this might be of interest which is why I decided to post

Who needs an App Drawer when you can have these Folder Cubes.
This video is after an hour or so of goofing with it.
No way was this a quick process. But it was easy to do.
Yes I did move every app from my App Drawer to the Folder
Cube on the desktop.
And no. You haven't lost or began to need reading glasses.
Just try imagine that I took the time to clear up the video a little bit.
There's not a lot that I can do to lessen the pointlessness. So. Much like the video. I didn't
even try to correct that one. Sorry E.R.
Not too bland eh?
It is easy to see that the larger icons take a few seconds to load. I will send a link to this video to the dev and see if there is a way to put large, and even customized icons (for the ones that it doesn't find.) into the cache somewhere. Maybe it will be an easy fix. Other than that I have to say that it is pretty nice on the Iconia. I don't regret buying it one bit. Now to find the Nook Color...

Look for a app called Folder Organizer.. I have it and set it up once it allows you create groups with menus on your home screen .. not exactly what your looking for but you might like it.. also DENSITY CHANGER APP.. im not sure the exact name .. changes the screen density . This changes the icon size not sure if it will allow you to drop more on there or not..

Sorry for getting off topic good luck

No problem. This app works just as well on the Nook Color as it does on the Acer. (?!?Maybe even better?!?) Thanks again for sharing the find. I'll use this for a solid couple of days and report back on the stability. As well as any news. So far so good though.
