Root [Boost Mobile] Vilano ROM discontinued

You might have to clear data/factory reset then clear dalvik cache.

My rom has way different symlinks and permissions then stock. Other rom's don't play nice when installed over mine :p

You may need to downgrade to b08 or b08c from shins ROM inorder to run mine properly, like I said before our ROMs may be similar but are def not the same, however I do believe themes built for shins should be compatible with mine but I haven't tested yet.

They might be compatible to a point but some thing might be missing when installed it all depends on the framework-res
 
To add new tiles open drawer and longpress on application icon, pin to home screen, then a settings menu will pop up to make adjustments, click title to change the tiles title or to remove it all together, click tile size (1x1 is the regular square, 2x1 is the long rectangle, and 1x2 is the vertical rectangle) next click Icon, then custom icon, then custom icon options, next click bitmap type & bitmap from sdcard (dont worry, it works with .png, .jpg, ect.) next click select image from sdcard and then find the image you wanna use. then hit the back button and scroll to extra options. "file-type bitmap (1x1 only)" is what i use to make the 1x1 tiles, then click to add tile. under launcher7 setting if you deselect "lock tile layout" then you can longpress the tile on the homescreen and edit it (be warned though if you try to edit the icons ive already added for you, the pictures i put for the icons will no longer show and you'll have to rebuild them from scratch...I dunno why) once you've got things how you like them i suggest you go under launcher7 settings and make a backup. Also you can hit menu button and select add special tile and play with those also, that's how I made the animated pic tiles, you can also add Widgets that way. And thats about all i got for ya, lol, the rest is all trial and error, thats how i learned.

Here's a couple new tiles for "gas buddy" An ebook reader & an alarm, Enjoy!

I'm on B08c and Launcher 7 keeps force closing. Tried Fix Permissions before initial reboot after install, and again after force close. Should i downgrade to B08?

There shouldn't be a need to downgrade I had no issues installing over b08c, I'd say try clearing dalvik cache & fix permissions again. Also if you happen to be running "magic locker" I found it causes launcher7 fc issues.
 
Here is my link to an extra icon pack for use with the Vilano ROM. Feel free to share or use with any future releases. Icon 7.zip

Here are a few screens using the icon pack on the ROM.

just realized i left go locker in as a system app. this may be the issue some are having, remove "ru.maintarget.golocker.theme.vintage.apk" & "com.jiubang.goscreenlock" from system apps and see if that fixes your issue
 
so i finally got the rom to work and now im having problems with my network loosing coverage randomly. its not because i dont have no coverage but for some other reason. is there something that has to do with having bluetooth on and getting bad coverage? im not oc. so i figured that cant be it. but im still not sure. any help would be nice lol
