Confirm that signal boost and 2.0 beta are working perfectly. Great job as always

Only problem is that E-mail client crashes before end of setup

What email details did you use? A gmail, hotmail or something else? And was it EAS or IMAP?

[utternoob]

Pop3 hotmail account

[H3ROS]

I'll look into it. Hopefully it's not a bug in Oranges client and I won't have to revert to the 2.3.4 email client.

EDIT:
The good news is that I can reproduce it

Off subject to this, but I may remove the bravia engine because nobody has confirmed it it even works and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't. The reason? The devices released with the bravia engine are ARMv7, so the libs are not for ARMv6.

BETA download:

Orange UK Signal Boost addon:

http://www.fileswap.com/dl/JtYDbXVgT8/


Notes:

Do not use volume addons designed for version 1.7 of the ROM.

Compared with version 1.7 I've decided to keep some of the stock gingerbread icons. The reason for this is so that the icons used throughout the OS or found in the applications you install will be consistent.

I could be wrong, but this may also be the only (gingerbread) ROM supporting WPS? It's certainly new to H3 Blues and I've not seen it in any other ROM's.

The Orange UK signal boost addon will only work if you're an Orange customer. It won't work for any other networks. For more information on how it works check out Orange's website.

As I've tweaked my performance script you'll notice that you now have more memory if you're on the stock TPT or have the 35 MB cache. Previously the ROM would redirect the cache regardless which was a waste of 35 MB.

How do I install from the 1.7?

[H3ROS]

While in BETA theres no upgrade path as this has a few bugs to be worked out such as the email issue.

[mi nombre]

Trying Beta 2 version and It's so good
I don't have any problem with gmail...
... will try hotmail

[H3ROS]

Well appaprently CM7.2 uses the a modified version of the email app from Android 2.3.4, so I'm just going to use what I previously did in 1.7 as that allows you to edit account colours.

[H3ROS]

New BETA:

http://www.fileswap.com/dl/Him4qmpYPU/


Changes:

• Removed the bravia engine. It uses ARMv7 libs, so it doesn't work anyway (this goes for all Skate ROM's)
  
• Fixed the email client

And just so people get the idea here. You should only install the BETA version if you don't mind formatting and testing things. Otherwise stick with 1.7 until I take 2.0 out of BETA.

Installed it and did the usual wipe/cache factory reset, wipe cache, and advanced/wipe dalvik and installed. Skipped google account setup till booted and then went in and set it up once up and running.

No problems so far, then went for appz from play store.


Was stuck on downloading from play store and when i went to press back button it rebooted and got stuck on boot-loop to which i had to take battery out. Still stuck on boot-loop.

Had it with 1.5 too is that a partition problem size-wise?



Thanks anyway mate..

[H3ROS]

Is your partition sizes the same as any of these?

The ROM will work on anything up to 150MB. Anything smaller than that may run into issues.

[krystman]

Hay! DSP Manager  to install ROM?

[H3ROS]

No need to have DSP Manager as it has the Dolby EQ as well as a sound boosting EQ which can boost audio for different channels.

[WiiSky70]

So any news on the 2.0 H3Blues ROM yet H3ROS ? Any release date ?

Edited by WiiSky70, 04 November 2012 - 01:04 PM.

[H3ROS]

I'm working on packaging it right now. I'm then going to attempt working on an update package, although it will be rather large since it's basically a new ROM.

Let's hope for it , if it is a new ROM it will come with that Go Launcher or another ?

[H3ROS]

It comes with GO Launcher EX. It looks indetical to the current 1.7 version, but it's got a few changes and a lot of the stuffs under the hood.

[bardriel]

Very good rom! I have installed and now i´m testing. It´s very soon to tell about battery life and another things so i´ll back tomorrow to tell my experiences.
Thanks for this rom and for all your work.

Everythings been updated in the first post

@ bardriel
Battery should be better than stock since it underclocks the CPU and doesn't use the max speed when it's not needed. Theres no applications there that should eat away your battery either.

[bardriel]

After playing with that rom i only say thats is very good. I only have 2 problems. First one i have a poor network signal (i´m not orange so i don´t know if the patch will work for me). Second one is the battery. When the screen is of no problem but when i am using it battery drain so fast. Anyone facing same problems?
