[ROMS] Latest 2.3.7 cm7.1.0/7.2.0 Racerboy-ROMS

[Guest Racerboy]

UPDATE: 11.04.2012 due to real life and been busy with other projects i am calling it a day regards to porting new roms for the Racer, thank you all for the support and comments (good and bad) and for downloading over 65,000 rom downloads just on raceroms website (cm7 nightlies, ICS-MOD, LeWa) THANK YOU ALL............

Rather than hijacking the 4pda thread that i created, i thought i`d create a new thread for my ROMS that i`ve been putting together, they are all based on the Blade Cyanogen Nightly Builds and i will try and keep updating with new ROMS as and when nessessary so dont expect a ROM-A-DAY :lol: all ROMS from #241 upwards now include Google Market as standard (v3.4.4) so NO NEED to install a seperate Gapps package anymore.......

Really glad you're carrying on with these ROMs. I'm going to install now and will report back with any issues I find.

I've linked the 206 ROMs up on raceroms. I'll upload your others as well and get them linked up too.

thanks, will have to-be a clean wipe install again tried over 201,but boot loop, if this is anything like 201,iam expecting a well balanced rom again :)

[Guest Rahulj85]

nice work man..although i was wondering that since you are making your own roms now, why not experiment around the gui and features a bit. For example, in one of your roms, you had included a nice analog clock and a decent music player. Maybe you can continue with that?

haha lol, that was a mistake on my part :rolleyes: i accidently uploaded (i`ve removed it) my own private modded version (which i cant release for legal reasons) instead of public release, but i`ll take your point and see if theirs any other apps that i can use for future releases :)

[Guest Angelのsweet]

good work , glad to see you again

[Guest Racerboy]

good work , glad to see you again

thank you :) keep us informed when you release a new ROM or update....

another point is open source/freeware apps i think i can include in ROMS so long as i dont profit from them which is the case, cyanogen do included ADW launcher free app so i need more clarity 1st before including other free apps to change things like music player, alarm clocks, launchers that sort of stuff

ya, some issues with cyanogen files in the last builds, so to stop things like boot loop happening from just updating it (installing over) thats why i recommended a full wipe to get rid of any errors that maybe present, once you have this ROM installed and when i release a newer version it should ok to update/install over :)

yeup..even with open source there will be legal angles attached..:-)

[Guest molpie001]

Hi Racerboy,

Could you enable WIFI tethering on this ROM ?

Thanks

molpie

[Guest Racerboy]

Hi Racerboy,

Thanks

molpie

you can install "Barnacle Wifi Tether" for this as mensioned in post#1 above :)

[Guest jm888]

Yep, I'm running this rom at the moment, haven't done too much with it, and no problems so far.

[Guest yoyonhoc]

thanks

[Guest wooly_sammoth]

I'm also running this ROM.

It's nice and quick like the others from Racerboy and the screen calibration is good too. There's no wifi tether but as I understand it the choice is Wifi tether or better graphics and the graphics do look really nice. (plus you can use 'barnacle', as discussed earlier in this thread, if you need the wifi tethering)

In my opinion it's better than the #203 from 4pda but I don't know how much of that was down to the problems CyanogenMod have been having. For example the video playback is much smoother and the Gallery loads the pictures a lot faster too.

If I hit any issues with #206 I'll post them here.

[Guest Racerboy]

basically its the system.ui, framework-res.apk i believe that controls alot of graphical features and some how causing a conflict somewhere, with the new builds of cyanogen i have to look deeper to see what i can do

LOL WFT :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: all i can say to that :D

but seriously, apparently it can :blink: Have a look HERE

[Guest TigTex]

Interesting question... but there's only one problem

Android is opensource, you can make a lot of devices run that operating system. iOS is not opensource so you can't make a port to other devices than the apple ones.

the on/off animation can be fixed by editing the framework-res.apk file.
