[FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hi guys,

Here is a new release of your favorite Cronos ROM for your Device. This time it has the first release of Cronos X included.
This is still WIP (Work In Progress) by me and Computerfreak so please dont go flaming us about features that are not included.
If you have a wish list of functions please use a proper Forum thread to post them so that we can have a look at it.

NOTE: DOES THE PHONE FEEL SLOW AFTER THE FIRST FLASH?
GO TO X SETTINGS, CPU SETTINGS AND CHANGE THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SPEED TO YOUR DESIRED SPEED.
I HAVE HAD TO PUT A LOWISH DEFAULT THAT IS SAFE FOR EVERY DEVICE.

You have bugs to report? Please use: MantisBT


Note: Please reboot after any flash you do. This is very important.

How to flash Cronos Roms:
1. Wipe
2. Flash ROM
3. Boot to full ROM.
4. reboot to Recovery.
5. Flash Hot Fix (If any)
6. Boot to ROM.
7. Reboot to Recovery.
8. flash kernel (If any updates)
9. reboot to ROM.
10. Reboot to Recovery.
11. Flash GAPPS
12. Reboot.

Dear Feeyo,

I tried 2.3.0 and 2.3.1.
Everything works fine.
but....if there are some buttons in the lowest screen, it's hard to tap on those buttons.
Example1: after flashing GAPPS, the google account setting wizard. There are buttons in every steps. They are all hard to be tapped.
Example2: while I'm using My Backup Root, in the Data Restore window, the button below is hard to be tapped.
When I flash back to 2.2.4....those buttons work fine.

Thank you for keeping HERO updated.

hi Feeyo,
is there any possibilites that you can add option to use camera from Cronos Froyo (1.7.2 ?)
I love that ROM camera, since it can save geo location without having GPS on.

thanks
