[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Red"]The ROM has been postponed[/COLOR][/SIZE]​


.


[SIZE="2"]Due to the unexpected software update that was released recently, the ROM will be postponed until thursday as i am forced to restart the ROM on the new update. I would release the ROM on the last update but i would rather start on the newly fresh one which most of you are probably already running. i will start working on it first thing tomorrow thanks to Woodstock77 for finding a fix for root after the new update, and Androidxd for offering his time with building the ROM from my instructions.[/SIZE]

.


[SIZE="3"]Sorry for the inconvenience please be patient the ROM will be ready by thursday[/SIZE]


Thanks for the update, but before I decide to download it thursday, and lose all the apps (I dropped Titanium Back Up, it doesnt work for me) I had. May I ask, does it have all those, cool, interesting but yet still confusing little tweaks and setting (status bar tweaks, built in hot-spot, status bar at the bottom, CPU Overclock tweak Sliders) and all those "nifty" features like CM7?

Ehh it will eventually get there maybe in a couple weeks but not in the first version. To be honest the first version will kind of be boring, but after this this weekend it will get better and better like in the second version after its released you will get some advance speed tweaks thats faster than the other "speed build.prop" and the theme will be rocking in the second version also. Right now im not sure wether you will lose yours apps, because i havnt decided what method to go with.

Did you figure out the signal icons?

You have to manually re-name them in SystemUI.apk but i havnt got the time to look at them yet. I believe you got them themed on your theme you released recently am i correct? whats the name of the signal bars so i can manually do them, message me.

ROM almost ready just doing a lil touch ups with it thanks to Rally 517 for offering his time into making it. late tonight i'll have a tester that i have already choosen to test the ROM for bugs etc. There really shouldnt be any bugs as i didnt do any major modding to it "yet". the ROM will be up tomorrow around 5 pm. lol i apologize if it seems boring but i will be extremely busy this weekend and i just wanted to get the ROM up and running even if its simple. Next week it will be getting some major updates where things like the dialer will be themed settings popups signal bars, deodex etc. this is how it looks on the ultra, it will loook similar on the Warp as well.

Decided to take a whole new root in my ROM creation, so forget about the shevron ROM i got something else in mind, waiting for deodex ROM from shinru and then i can start working on it.:)

no sneak peaks/hints/etc? :D

I'm patient on this kind of stuff now but I don't think its too much to ask for when it comes to this kinda thing.. Just one thing would be good enough for me, but if you don't want to that's fine since its only less than 1 week according to your post so either way I'm happy with your efforts :)

WP7 ROM


theres your hint that should be easy to figure out. And if not its a OS thatany people use, it will only have one main app nothing else, every other thing you will see in the ROM will be manually theming by me. Ohh nd crt effect is working now, i aallways knew tje effect would work on a deodex framework.:)
