• Astro File Manager replaces Filer
  
• Gingerbread Wallpaper now default
  
• Circle Battery Mod
  
• Enhanced autobrightness behaviour
  
• AGPS enabled
  
• DNS set to Google global
  
• ondemand governor with 122.88MHz idle CPU freq

SS RLS 5 Phat md5 7cab30a99761369098a6985e05a3f49a

As usual, first boot will be slow - and I suggest a reboot once loaded.

As above, but with (black) Gingerbread Notification bar and more suitable Font, Gen 1 standard SS RLS5 boot image, Gen 2 boot image is Softbank stock. See screenshots 3 and 4 below - i.e. the ones with the GB themed bar!

Have you found a new brand of super strength coffee? ;o)

GJ LanceH, thanks :)

Oh, whilst I think about it.....what do you mean by: "Enhanced autobrightness behaviour"?

LOL - while I'm waiting for a couple of things to de/compile and batch converting a serious shedload of massive .eps images for work...

The stock ROM ab behaviour is something ZTE overlooked (or put another way, ANOTHER thing they overlooked).

CM7 is the only other derivative ROM that exhibits even worse behaviour...

TBH the JJ9/SSx ROMs aren't too bad. All I've done is modify the sensor scaling and increased the "dynamic range" of the backlight brightness. So when dark, the screen reduces further, and when bright, the screen gets a little brighter. Plus a few adjustments to the steps. The effect is more noticeable and effective on TFTs (they will go dimmer and brighter than OLEDs). For my own variant (a real mongrel ROM), I have doubled the number of brightness vs. sensor Lux values in the arrray to yield a very smooth transition from dark to light. Nice.

Cheers

Sweet work :)

Is there a file users can edit before/after ROM installation to apply our prefered AB levels?

[*]Enhanced autobrightness behaviour

Its possible to get this feature like an update to the stock RSL5?

Thanks :)

There is, although it requires decompiling framework-res.apk, amending arrays.xml (in a text editor) recompiling the apk, signing with the platform key. Not difficult, you just need to set your stall out to do it. I could do a Dummies guide at some stage (it would allow users to mod other things too - the apk has most of the look/feel/UI bits in it, and things like the default wallpaper). Launcher is another good one to decomplie to change the stock wallpapers and so on.

See below...! It is possible to modify any ROM in this way.

Ok LanceH! But I don't have knowledge to do such a thing...

Thanks :)

Is AGPS not enabled in SS5 ?

Whats the benefit of this in your rom?

I need to do full wipes if coming from SS5 - right?

Thx for the work LanceH

Usually helps get a position fix quickly - works well in Car Nav. It isn't enabled in any SS. IIRC.

Wipe not necessary, unless something is already misbehaving.

Has the launcher been changed? I'm not able to customize it. How can I customize homescreen, app drawer settings etc?

If it's a new laucher, how can I get the launcher from RLS4 Respin phat back?

Has the stock sms app been completely removed? Go SMS Pro suggests to keep the stock sms app! It helps it function error free.

Thanks :)

Indeed, the Jury is out on Launchers... some like ADW, some stock (as this is) and some LauncherPro. The choice is out there...

Nice work :)

I've added the stock MMS to the first post if anyone wishes to use in lieu of GOSMS Pro. I don't have problems wth the stock MMS app removed, but it's there anyhow.

[Guest Len Ash]

Fancy a more interesting font?

Try this... (works on any ROM) - Clockwork flash

How can we revert back to stock font? Or we can just switch between this font and stock one once flashed?

Thanks :)

Thanks. I will try using it without stock sms. If any trouble , I will install the pack.

You could reflash the ROM - however, here is the original Font pack for CW flash...

@LanceH:

Assuming not having mobile internet connection. Is it better having AGPS enabled or disabled?

Is there a way just getting the circle mod in SS5, nothing else?

Thx

Try this (I haven't tested, but should be fine)

Thx LanceH, works like a charm :-).

Could you please also upload the way back to the stock batterie logo.

Thx for always being responsive and online!

It's the AppSpot Market - tends to be more "useful" than Google Market - updates tend to be earlier too, despite AppSpot using the Market for the files themselves.

You can kill it.

[Guest TheBrainKafka]

Hi LanceH.

An really useful and cool feature would be to have the energy things (wifi/gps/bt/3g/...) in the notification bar included.

Do you know how to get this in there?

Thx for great work!
