[ROM][3/1/2011] LiquidM_Villain (v1.1)

Hi at long last release time is upon us. I bring to you the Acer Liquid Metal Rom port, with the joint effort of Me,HomerSP(Team Villain) and with testing and collaboration by TheDeadCpu. Now what can i tell you about the rom, is it fast? of course it is, is the battery life good? hard to tell im always on 2g(At&t) Does it all work? No of course not. now with that said lets get on to what does not work.
You NEED CWM3.0, not the Beta Version of CWM 3.0 that only works on gingerbread, if you have that recovery and you flash my rom it will get stuck in the white htc logo, so please download the CWM recovery with rom manager, or make sure its not the Beta version.
Credits:
HomerSp(For fixing Wifi,GSm,sensors,camera,video play back issues and more to come )
bigrushdog (Original Port from witch this rom is based upon)
TheDeadCpu(Healping and testing, getting me intouch with Homersp)
Rafyvitto(without him this would have not been posible)
And who ever i forgot.

highly doubtful, i don't think it can be done not sure, maybe the independent apk's of the launcher/framework-res can be extracted and made standalone from the main rom, dunno that's something i don't know how to do.

ah well you can try that on gingerbread, but it will most likely not work, and as for the lock screen that im sure has to be ported and modified to make a flashable update.zip( if it indeed is possible again i don't know).

Launcher will work .. kind of. It'll take forever to load, and if you touch the black bar, it'll FC. The 8 icons also won't show up. You'll be able to use the app drawer, as well as swipe left and right, but that's about it. No notification bar. Also, doesn't play well with LCD Density.

Yeessss!!!!

Thanks to all involved this is clearly the best or one of the best Rom out can't wait

Id be willing to help out and test the rom as you port it.
I was going to try and port this myself, but, have no knowledge of doing it, so most of my time would've been on just reading and learning first, haha.
Let me know, id be interesting in helping out.

HeroGetsHoney v0.1

Hey Guys!
Well I seen a thread in the general section talking about the posssibility of Android 3.0 or Honeycomb for Hero. I decided to have a go at porting a Magic HC ROM and so here it is. It works okay, can be sluggish at times but it's really only a proof of concept but if there's enough interest I'll consider improving it to try and get everything working. This ROM is really a joint effort between me and Ybinnenweg, he's helped me develop every rom i've ever built so far so we may as well stick together .
Thanks to:
yohshua for the original rom.
Ybinnenweg for his advice and support
Elelinux for the update-script
Okay down to business..
Whats working?
- Led's
- Auto-Rotate ( it rotates after using camera but doesn't rotate back :L )
- Full Honeycomb UI
- Auto-Brightness
- SD Card mount?
- Key Lights
- Not sure what else.. find out!
Whats not working?
- Sound
- SMS
- Calls
- Camera
- USB Storage
- Bluetooth
- Wifi
Thanks to Ybinnenweg for screens

HeroGetsHoney v0.1
P.S: I know it says welcome to Elelinux-speedmachine, that's only because i used his updater-script. It'll be fixed in the next build

Wow! Any screens? How fast is it?

OMG! Great news!

I can't post screens atm, as I use my phone for work and can't use a ROM that has limited functionality for a while, I'll try get something up later. The speed is okay, it's not great but it's using fly-kernel12a, not tried using LV with it so i'm not sure if that will improve the speed. Test it out for me, any feedback is much appreciated

Nice to see you working on this but you've a lot of work to do good luck with it.
Hope this one is easier to port than MIUI

what recovery are you using?

I'm using RA 1.6.2a

Lol, didn't thought it was possible to port because Google hadn't released the code I am willing to try as soon it gets a bit more usable

As the dev is AFK
Here are the screens that I've taken, they will be on the OP

Thats true, don't think he ever posted on here though. I think it was more out of interest that he done it rather than a official ROM.

Just curious, will calling and sending text messages ever be fixed?

Look there is no market seeing the screenshot

[REQ]/[PORT] MIUI Themes/Lockscreens/Theme Manager

Searched if there already was this kinda topic here, and it wasn't.
Is it possible to get the MIUI Lockscreens ported to our beloved SGS2?
Please take a look at this link:

They look REALLY AWESOME and I would die for this on my SGS2.
Anyone who can do some magic?
Would gladly donate to the person who can/will port this, if possible
Thanks in advance

Thats the first ever bit of miui that I actually like. Nice find, hope someone ports them over.

It would be very cool if someone could make that

Just download the mtz file and install(open) it. It will ask to install the theme.
To change/edit go to apps->themes->edit-theme->lockscreen

Widgetlocker is a good alternative, its on the market and there are loads of miui slider down themes here on xda.
I will say it isnt free but well worth the money and works a dream on the sgs2
Hope this helps

These locksccreen couldn't be ported. They havent been ported to any stock rom phone. They work for any MIUI port but not on stock.
Use widgetlocker if you want but I don't like having another apps running in background and thus consuming battery only to have a lockscreen. Plus wl could be incompatible with apps tracking the screen unlocked as so it isn't a real lockscreen (embedded in system) but an app that SIMULATES a lockscreen

Battery times seem alot better then stock (though i didnt charge > 8 times on stock, installed roms straight away. Batt. live seems to improve after first few charges)
The shortcuts are configurable only by changing its path in the xml of the lockscreen, not by MIUI interface.
For me, MIUI is the best rom for SGS2 atm...still waiting for CM tho

I know that it is possible to get a default lockscreen changed on the SGS II. Nitr8 SGSII ROM has the stock android lockscreen instead of Samsung, he advised me that you can use this old SGS thread and it works. As I'm a ROM cooker and not a themer and don't deal with frameworks, somebody else (Maybe a themer) can try it? thread on how to do it is here

Thanks for the tip, mate

Thanks for the info. I do the odd bit of xml changing for my themes. If its to do with xml maybe I stand a chance but if its smali I wouldn't know where to start, I think its time to do some reading and try and learn.
I would love to change this lockscreen. I'm going to try next week.
I don't like miui but I installed it on my desire just to try these lock screens and they are really nice.

[ DEVS ONLY ] GT-I9100XXKP8 ICS 4.0.3 IML74K System Dump

MOD EDIT/NOTICE: You all accept the risks of flashing this - anyone caught complaining, flaming or idiot posting will receive a 24 hr ban. Off topic will also be subject to the same.
Here is the system dump & custom TAR of the ICS XXKP8 ROM that was leaked for the international version. This version will boot on our phones but without a CDMA kernel, there will no data, wifi, CWM, etc, so this is meant for DEVS\POWER USERS ONLY to play with.
DO NOT TRY FLASHING THESE FILES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO REVERT TO A WORKING ROM AS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.7z - System dump plus zImage
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.tar - Flashable through ODIN

interesting, thanks for this. how far do you suppose we are from a somewhat functional ICS build?
ninja edit: first!

Oh man, thing's are getting hot in the kitchen.
So just a quick question: Why wont this won't brick our phones? Why have their been so many people with bricked phones for flashing international ROMs?
Other then that, awesome work. Just saw your Stock EL29 repack. Youre on fire !

Sweet, great job calkulin... you the man.
I'll do a quick review video of these for sure

This is a good starting point. We need to someone who can hack the 2.3 kernel to run Android 4.0

Because this is just the kernel & system files. If they flashed the complete tar(modem, bootloader, etc), then they definitely will cause a lot of issues

When you get that one bastardized kernel, it'll be good for all international ports to use for awhile til we get source

Has anyone been able to DL the .tar?

It has it's issues, front cam doesn't work(main cam works tho), rotation is inverted, no data, no wifi, etc but at least we get a feel for what the official ICS update will be like once it's released. If we get a working kernel, then fixing those issues wouldn't be that hard as I have fixed them before on the EVO ports but until we get a kernel, I'm not even going to start trying

Yep, although if you wait for it to unfreeze, you can then move around momentarily, before it freezes again...so far I can see that it DOES NOT have the face unlock, and other than settings, popup\menus and the Gmail app, which you can notice a difference right away, even without emails in it, it looks pretty much the same being that its TWIZ and not AOSP!

For many many reasons, not least of which was no significant progress towards ICS (which at that point needed CM7 as a prerequisite). Hopefully with the system files maybe someone can drag up that kernel and see if they can be made to work together but I think it is a CM kernel and I'm not sure that could be made to play with this...

Review of this port is up...

[MOD] No screen/page indicator (TouchWiz) and drop down Carrier-remove

Hi!
Just wanted to share this tiny mod that my "user" reggaetonero suggested. Get rid of thoose dots on screen (Screen/page indicator). The mod does only that and won't touch anything else.
Acutally gave a clean look, like it a lot. Don't need thoose dots, I know what screen I'm at anyway
just download and flash in recovery. Tested and working on XXELLC, but should work on LL4/5/and so on.
File in attachment or on my OP post #3. Now we have a screenshot in post #3 thanks to "D"
Adding one more, this one removes the carrier logo in notification dropdown.
The only thing, SystemUI that carrier-remove is built upon is a 23T modded version. So I can't gurante function on stock, if it fails I can make one for stock SystemUI.
EDIT: Added one that is built upon a stock SystemUI (no 23T in other words), so if systemui FC's , try the ST version insted. This only applies to carrier-remove of course.

:good: gotta try it out

Wow very nice, thanks +1
see you my Screenshot.

You lost me there. Does the touchwiz mod work, but not carrier?
What the touchwiz mod does is actually just graphic, it replaces stock "dot" with totally invisible one. So there is no code involved, so dedodex or odex shouldn't matter.. So i haven't got a real good answer on that.

That is really wiered..
The app involved are as you said, /system/app/SecLauncher2.apk , then inside that app, /res/drawable-xhdpi/ , 3 files, pageindicator.9.png and 2 others. That's all.. works for others, so it's nothing wrong with it. By why on eart won't your device realise it.. a wipe dalvik needed perhaps..
And thanks Not all mods are coding for hours and 400 FC's.. sometimes it's pretty easy (many times too easy to realise it), like this one, wasn't me who came up with the idea, it was a dude that uses my ROM who suggested it.
