Root Making ICS ROM For Connect/Esteem (Read it!)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Ok I've been following this thread & please forgive my ignorance but I just have to ask this question. Okay when the OP is saying he is making ICS for our phone that would have to be a theme, correct? If it were a ROM it have to say ICS style ROM. ICS is not a ROM, it is a version of android. We have gingerbread right now, to make us have real ICS we would need an update to that version, not just a ROM to make it look like ICS. Or am I totally missing something? With this damn brain tumor it wouldn't be hard for me to misinterpret something.
 
Well a ROM is the OS(Android) your phone is running the GB Rom :p ICS is a rom but people can theme a gb rom to look like ics.

You weren't sure if you could do a beta in 3 weeks, but then 4 hours later you have it up and ready?

Lol, nu-uh! Four hours and one minute!

Also... I see the red and black theme on the top fifteen or so.newest posts every time I log on, so I'm sure you can find it pretty easy. I'd link but I'm on my phone.

I'm sorry but this thread smells like a dairy farm.
 
I can't say I got high hopes atm for this one myself...
But Tokenpoke, forgive my nibbage. WTH is the dairy farm reference? >.>

never been around cows huh??? ;)

I hope dude is legit n just not very good at conveying exactly what/how he is doing this project. But the avoidance of answering if he is building from source or cooking some other ICS ROM or just cooking a theme doesn't look good. Setting a ETA is never good as no reputable Devs ever give ETA's.

But maybe he/they will surprise us. ;)


Regardless of wtf he/they do I will be doing a CM9 port for the Connect at some point ;)

I mailed shabby my attain. ;)

Which reminds me, I need to check on that
 
I finished up the beta as soon as I can because , I don't need friends , Android is the only friend I need.... Heh heh , Phones are friends , Android is all friends into one......

Lol , I sound mad messed up

Anyways , I don't avoid questions , I just don't get every 10 minutes to answer one , Also . I finished it up fast because I was thinking I needed to do alot of stuff still , Yet , many of the coding was already done and didn't need to get optimized for the Connect ,

Here is a change log (Small one , Not everything we have done) of what has been done
- ICS Notification Bar
- ICS Homescreen
- Usual ICS Settings
- Mobile Hotspot (It works in settings , In Broken Out ROM I noticed it crashes)
- Cleaned out Notification Bar (No ICS or junk)
- SRS Audio Enhancement Settings (And Dolby Audio Settings in Music Still)
- Easier Setup
- Faster Installation
- Optimized Most Apps
- Deleted MetroPCS Bloatware
- Deleted MetroPCS Startup/Shutdown Animation
- ICS Animation Optimized (For Smaller Size in this case)
- Certain Settings Changed for better CPU capabilities
- Comes with CPU Management Application (One that I made myself) (Can Delete)
- Comes with LCD Density Application (Of Course , If you want , You can remove)
- ICS Launcher (Pulled right from 4.0 and optimized for speed performance)
- Comes with Terminal Emulator (Working , But UI not perfected) (Can Delete)
- Better HD Pixel Density Icons than the real ones in ICS
- Smoother App Launching Experience

Soon To Come
- Possibly Beats Audio Enhancement Options (Wont get BEST experience without a phone like the HTC One X)
- Decreased ROM Size
- Extra Settings (That are not on ICS)
- ETC

The Beta ROM size - 184 MB
Size for Final Release (Estimated) - Around 130 MB (After Many Apps Get Proper Optimization and packaging the files more together with a certain PC Program to decrease the file sizes)

I know I look very Unprofessional but I can do the ROM!
Also , I will say it like the people who don't like to learn the terminology "From Scratch"
 
Sorry , When I meant Cleaned out Nofication Bar , I meant It Wont say "MetroPCS" and It won't have all the extra items that LG puts on your phone when you first get it , Like the music player :I

Dude for the past week everyone has asked you is this a cooked rom with a ics theme, which thats all it is, and avoided giving a straight answer. You could have just said hey guys I am going to run this thru AK and then UOT it/theme it. Then your timelines wouldnt looked nearly as bad, and no one would have expected you to speak like a dev, but like the cooker (not a bad thing ;)) you are. ;)

Why does it need a CPU management app?? you do your own kernel or kang mt's? If you used mt's need to make sure to give him credit ;)

Dont know why he just wont say its a theme and not a ROM compiled from scratch. Think Ill just wait and see if PG gets ICS working for the connect. At least we know he has good track record.

The CPU Management is a app that I made myself with my own time , It is made to overclock , Underclock , Clock at your desire , Also it can
fix any overheating problems you have , Even though that should have been a setting I put in the Battery Section

I kinda figured what the app did, I asked if you did your own kernel or used mt's??? IF no on both then it wont overclock n thus doesnt need a overclocking app. ;)

Im so excited to read u said this cause i had an ascend with ur (and everyone that helped) cm6 & 7 on it (@ septate times of corse) and never had any problems it was bad a$$ & Now i have the connect with b.o. on it so now im patiently waiting 4 ur work on this fine piece of machinery.
also when it comes time 4 testing it sign me up, i just got a job after 2yrs of being a stay @ home dad so i will donate as soon as i can to help out in that aspect also. thx
 
I'm gonna leave the remainder of the cow reference alone. lol

I think while this might look cool (this guy's rom/theme/whatev) might be a good past time, I really think I'll wait for PG's ICS port when he gets to it.

I know ye get crazy busy PG. but I've seen yer work. it's worth the wait. :)
Besides, I'm pretty sure this phone can handle it.
 
So when is the beta being released? Anyway I can get it to start making themes for since Im kinda try and ditch themes for BrokenOut (No offense MT ;) ) and only make for #2 and this rom?...or atleast the main system apps...Because everyone likes newer so alot will be rockin ldriftas or this rom :D;)
 
I contacted 2 Android Forum Members (Names kept secret until Release because people would most likely annoy that person) and They have the Beta , Now , All there is to do , Is fix any bugs and such , A few weeks most likely :I Depending on how it worked on their phones....

Also , Do any of you have a favorite file syncing Program? (Dropbox , SkyDrive , SpiderOak , ETC )

Also , I originally used my own Kernal for the CPU Management App , But then I changed it to MTs because his will be most likely more effective and he has a history of great stuff , So I trust him :) If you have your own Overclocking app , The CPU Management is removable … So no worries of bloatware

I am working a lot on this so please , Anyone link a red/black theme for Broken Out ROM like Verizon looking , I wont stop the ROM , no matter what!
