-OVERCLOCKED with Glitch OC Kernel @ 1.8ghz By Downthemachine with a tweaked ramdisk by yours truly.
-TWRP Touche recovery ported by Hroark13 with file manager and terminal.
-Themed with the Voltron theme but i will be making more themes for this ROM once it is finished
-based on the Public Mobile B07 which is a newer build than Boost B08c.
-swipe and better keyboard are installed but must be activated in the language and keyboar menu in settings.
-need suggestions on a good camera app and I included the another music player( tell me which one you like)

Features to add:
-Quickpanel widget in drop down menu
-Super screenshot power menu with reboot recovery option
- A camera in the system, Have not decided on one yet, I'm open for suggestions... I have ics camera installed right now as a temp.
- Any bugs that may come about. So far this ROM is bug free

Here are the links:

*** If you have missed calls and delayed text due to the bug that occurs when screen is turned off, flash the B08 firmware but use a B07 ROM. Seems that a new bug is present with similar symptoms in the new B08 ROM, however the included firmware does effectivly fix the issue if you use the B07 system. so I have made this B08 firmware flashable for you folks... Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash with TWRP or CWM...

If this is the firt time you install the Voltron rom on you N860, wipe everything before installing this rom. Dalvik and factory/reset(data and cache). If you are updating from a previous version only the dalvik cache and cache wipe is needed.

Factory Reset Flashable(use this to perform a factory reset): voltron_factory_reset - Download - 4shared

Kernels:

Glitch V1.13 @ 1 Ghz: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fv2k0ghvxl21y7k/PMI_Glitch_non_oc_v1.1.3_SMV_Mod.zip

**If you dont like the awesome TWRP recovery, you can flash back to CWM with the installer in the bottom of the OP on this tread:

***The tether menu although unlocked is still hidden. To access it make a shortcut on the ADW launcher by longpressing on one screen and go to the "add" tab and selecting custom shortcuts and go-to pick activity->activities->settings->settings(tether settings) and Bam! A nice little shortcut for tethering. :)

****The first boot takes about 4-5 min.. be patient its only for the first boot...

Special Thanks:
Hroark13 (for porting an awesome recovery and his work on the Kernel source) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32358441#post32358441

Wow good job on this one! I think this is the first Warp ROM that has complete functionality for Public Mobile at least... LED flashlight app works, 1.7ghz OC with scaling governor OK, Swap is enabled, and WIFI tethering in infrastructure mode is working great!!! (on the ZTE N762 the battery dies within 2 hours when tethering, on the N860 I've been tethered for 2 hours and battery still going strong, AWESOME!!!

Man theming has never been my strong suit... I'm all about getting it working right and perfectly functional...the quicksettings menu and extended powermenu are still not in but i'm gonna upload a beta3 in a little bit with a workaround for now... also I'm thinking of changing launchers. I love the holo launcher options but it freezes and bugs up too much for my taste... anyone have a good launcher suggestion?.. might go back to the ADW launcher on the beta4

I wish I could help with theming but I am clueless. Guess there must be a how-to somewhere...

So I'm uploading the Voltron OC BETA3 now the link will be up shortly...

1-I changed the apns-conf.xml, installed it just for a test and found that my mms sending to telus/koodo improved greatly... Any feed back would be great

2-I added the xperia home launcher and all its widgets (I'm touch and go on it)

3- still no quick settings and extended power menu but added rebooter apk and notification toggle as a work around you can set it up like i have it on the photo stream(shot 13 and 9) and it's a suitable workaround for the moment...

4- i changed the startup settings for the governer to ondemand 122-1708 and ill let you guys decide what you wanna do...

link will be up shortly...

link is up but last minute decision... i put adw launcher as the default launcher on this one... tell me what you think...
