Latest CTMOD and latest OC Kernel. Looking really good so far. Many thanks Blood.
 
Guys, I don't know how many of you read the change log but if you didn't, the new version has swipe to clear for the notifications drop down.

Bloodawn, would you please post the stock wallpaper. Thanks.
 
Is there a stock version of the Boost ROM but rooted? I have the rooted Sprint ZVC one but I'd like to collect the rooted stock Boost version too. Thanks!
 
Bloodawn,

I've been fiddling with this all morning. Very nice, polished, and extra smooth...

Nice job and Thank you!
 
Wow! So far, so good. Love the new boot animation.

I'm having some issues with the new Lightning browser (why the change from boat browser, by the way? I was just getting used to it.)

First, I do miss the homepage with all the icons.

Next, I have been unable to install the Amazon Appstore from http://www.amazon.com/getappstore I've changed my security settings to allow for third party downloads, but when I click the download link I get nothing. The browser spins a bit, and then stops. No indication that anything has been downloaded. (Not sure where Lightning downloads to anyway)

Lastly, I've had problems accessing GPS-based websites such as www.nextbus.com-- then I realized that I needed to turn on the location settings in the Lightning browser software itself.

I'll probably wind up hiding the lightning browser and going back to boat, but I'd very much like to hear what spurred you on to switch.

Thanks again for all your hard work. I'm griping, but is really is running very nicely (especially with the MiHome launcher)

Lightning only 228kb and its simple and fast while Boat is 3.37mb. If you or anyone else doesn't like it you use the File Explorer to delete Lightning.apk from /system/app then install whatever browser you want from play.

btw, the launcher is still Xperia Home, I just updated all the app icons to MIUI V5's lol.
 
Thanks for the new CTMod Blood! Great that you decided to do one more revision for this phone. Just now installing and re-installing apps.

I noticed you paired with your H426m kernel instead of the H426oc kernel. Any reason why we could/shouldn't use the oc kernel? I had been using it with the prior 4.75.

m is the main kernel and is fully stable for all phones so thats why I include it with the rom. if anyone wants to overclock they can install the oc version.

OK, Lightning has been zapped... replaced with the old bloated boat :)

I do like the MiHome launcher and appreciated the custom icons... I went ahead and downloaded the full MiHome browser anyway. That little memory sweeper alone was just outrageously useful under 3.75. Every time I felt the phone get a little sluggish, I'd click the sweeper and functionality was restored. I tried to find a similar app available for download from play store or elsewhere, but I was unable to find anything.

Lastly, is there any way to rename the "lightning" icon so it just says "browser"?
 
One more thing... any idea why when using MiHome launcher, the MiHome icon remains in the lower left corner of the homepage, but when you tap on it you get an error message which says "Parse error - there is a problem parsing the package". What does that mean?

you can't rename it. why do you want to? I thought you deleted it.

its just a bug with the app. I think its still in beta.
 
Blood, any chance of getting a tun module for your kernel. I tried to use tun.ko installer but with the custom kernel there isn't a module for me to use to get VPN working.

VpnServices.apk in the removed app zip should be the only thing you need. I've never touched anything related to VPN other than removing that apk.
 
I believe the tun.ko comes out when you compile the kernel its some setting in the config. I have no clue how to go about it, let along having a linux box.

How to compile tun.ko For Android (Commtiva Z71) | OSTalks
here are some of the steps(see link above for the rest) if someone would like to give it a try...........

4. Edit .config so as TUN module will be included into the kernel:
CONFIG_TUN=m
5. Run uname to get running kernel version of your phone:
uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.32.9 #7 PREEMPT Tue Jan 4 16:51:45 CST 2011 arv61 GNU/Linux
6. If there was some extra characters in your kernel version, like 2.6.32.9-063c4d24, you’d have to edit the Makefile to use the corresponding version:
EXTRAVERSION = -063c4d24
7. Set your environment variables:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
export PATH=$PATH:~[path of your arm-eabi compile toolkit binary in android ndk]
8. cd to your kernel folder and make modules
cd ~[path of your kernel source]
make modules Resulting tun.ko should be in the drivers/net folder of your kernel source.
Just beware, it is not for the fainthearted.

I use use openvpn on my router. It's nice to be able to use wifi in a public place with some security:)

Having trouble applying the theme i made in UOT Kitchen. I keep getting an error every time i flash.
Click to expand...

take the apkinstaller.zip from the 2nd post and open it with 7zip
double click system
create a folder in it called framework
drag and drop your themed framework-res.apk to framework
drag and drop your themed SystemUI.apk to app
close the zip and flash it.

if you have fonts and a boot animation you'll have to create 2 more folders in the zip, media and fonts. the animation goes to media.
 
The new rom CTMod 3.80 looks good, youtube and google plus working again. Somehow I'm noticing the download speed is slow in speedtest android app. Anybody has noticed that? But overall performance is same as previous version. Thanks.
