5/20/10 - Simply Stunning v3.2 ROM - Titanium Backup/New Icons/10% Battery Increments

[ChevyNo1]

What's New - This is an ESE81 2.1 ROM - Built From Source

1. Helix Launcher2 now supported and included along with HL1
2. 'Home' launcher is gone due to incompatibility with framework changes
3. Titanium Backup Free is now included - (THANKS to Joel (dev))
3. New bootanimation (THANKS to Liquidzgrl) - you won't see it if you don't remove any existing bootanimation by wiping or deleting manually
4. All PNG's optimized and apk's zipaligned
5. New startup script to run/shutdown anything you want at boot time (/system/xbin/chevyno1)
6. Battery increments in 10% values now, and below 20%, at 5% increments!
7. New battery icons designed by me - open to suggestions!
8. 'Normal/Reduced' Haptic feedback compared to previous versions

8. Many new scripts. All of my mv* scripts are dual purpose, they can both rename (the default) or delete. Renaming hides it in your app list, but you can get it back later. When you delete, it's gone. Here they are:

mvac - Alarm Clock
mvcamclick - Camera Click
mvcc - Corporate Calendar
mvch - Car Home
mvclock - Alarm Clock
mvdroid - Droid Sound
mvdt - Dev Tools
mvem - Email
mvfb - Facebook
mvgg - Google Goggles
mvgt - Google Talk
mvgv - Google Voice
mvhl - Helix Launcher
mvhl2 - Helix Launcher2
mvl - Launcher/Home
mvl2 - Launcher2/Launcher
mvmaps - Google Maps
mvmp3 - Amazon MP3
mvqo - Passion Quick Office
mvsp - Spare Parts
mvtb - Titanium Backup Free

For example, to rename/hide Corporate Calendar:

mvcc

Run the same command again and it will magically re-appear

If you know you'll never want to use it and just want it gone, just append -d to the command:

mvcc -d


Also included is a script to change the pulldown and lockscreen text from 'Simply Stunning v3.2' back to 'Verizon Wireless'. This is to support quick compatibility with any apps that need to see Verizon:

fixpd (Change to Verizon Wireless)
fixpd ss (Change back to default SS text)


The next two scripts will backup and restore your apps to your SD card. No settings yet ... but working on that. Although now I do include Titanium Backup Free, I will still include these scripts:

bkapps
rstapps


What's Existing

1. Certain apps (Maps/Pandora) removed - can be downloaded from the market, also as themed versions below
2. All busybox commands properly linked
3. Kernels now includes TUN and CIFS as external modules
4. Modified framework to work with PulldownEditor
5. Nexus LWP will be less intensive on the CPU, which means less heat (cuts cpu usage almost in half; credit to ReverendYo/ChevyNo1)
6. Including options for different colors on Nexus LWP
7. Starfield wallpaper is also gone, as it was previously in /system
8. Now including a /data partition in the nandroid. Now included is the Wifi-Tether app pre10
9. Nexus LWP's have a darkened background
10. Facebook/Yahoo/Skype Mobile issues fixed
11. Predictive text issues fixed - extra keyboard removed



To Wipe Or Not To Wipe

If you are coming from 2.0.1, you MUST data wipe - if you do not, you WILL have problems. If you are coming from a ROM that was not built from source, it is advisable for you to completely wipe/factory reset.

With this version, I now currently only support the update.zip format. The themed version that you are used to, as well as a non-themed version for those that want to start with the stock look.


The link below holds both themed/non-themed versions, as well as all new kernels:

Simply Stunning v3.2 - All Links



If the kernel is a problem, you will get stuck on the 'M' while booting up. Choose a slower kernel in this case.

This build comes with the 1.0Ghz low voltage kernel; you can change that if you wish with the kernels I've also listed. New for kernels: CIFS/TUN are external modules now. Also, the format of the kernels is such that now you can flash my kernels into any ROM, retaining the ramdisk you currently have (which can differ by ROM) (thanks to Koush for his anyformat).


Stock Theme Patcher (update.zip) - Will revert to 3-screen Launcher as well


Nexus LWP Color Options - update.zip format

Nexus-Blue.zip
Nexus-Green.zip
Nexus-Original.zip
Nexus-Red.zip
Nexus-Yellow.zip




update.zip format Installation Instructions:

-It is strongly suggested to nandroid-backup your current ROM before doing anything!
-Place the update.zip file into the root of your sdcard (RENAME to update.zip)
-Reboot into recovery mode
-Choose install
-Choose allow update.zip Installation
-Choose Install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated)
-Done!

- These kernels ALSO include the STOCK 550Mhz slot, and the kernels DEFAULT to that speed, until you use an app like SetCPU.

-Added commands sysrw/sysro for mounting /system read/write or readonly. Also note that sysro remounts read only AND performs the sync for you

-Added new Linux commands that I sorely missed:

more
head
tail
which
cp
grep
find
awk
sed
less
wc

Cleaned/linked the following commands which unnecessarily eat up 10MB of /system:

ash
chmod
clear
cp
dd
ifconfig
kill
printenv
traceroute
unzip
vconfig
vi
who
whoami



Theme:

-Smoked Glass Blue (credit to AdamZ modified by me)
-Added custom status bar icons (credit to blake2050@droidforums)
-Progress bars changed to match blue theme
-Clear push-icons on desktop (credit to ReverendYo - skinned from Alldroid community ROM)
-White Clock (credit to Ohsaka)


Recommended Apps:

SetCPU - not included as it is a paid Market app

Glassed Facebook (credit to ChevyNo1) - update.zip - may cause future update issues
Glassed Pandora (credit to ChevyNo1) - update.zip - may cause future update issues

Bugs:

-Sometimes the auto-brightness does not work if your phone has just rebooted. Simply pressing the power button twice will fix it.
-In the pulldown, the Market information is still black, making it hard to read - working on this


Disclaimer:

This is an overclock ROM, therefore if you're not careful, you'll do damage. I am not responsible for any such damage, you use this of your own free will.

Enjoy, and feedback is always welcome - bugs included

Chevy - I've tried every major rom out there today, and currently run rooted 2.1... for whatever reason I've never ran yours and I have to say it's greatness. I love blue, and your edited SG theme has a nice and simple (not overdone) blend of blue with the rest of the framework. It's simple and clean, and just flat out runs smooth and nice. Anyway, not that you need any pat on the back, but just wanted to say it's great.

Edit: one question, will the ADW launcher work since you got rid of the stock launcher?

[etx_droid]

Awesome Chevy....will be trying this ASAP!

[jed607]

Thanks chevy! For a minute there I thought you were waiting for the google i/o to start your next rom

[mcsinfl]

Running good chevy, accounts are all synced back up, working on installing all my apps. colors look good, like the battery icon, like the H2 dock. Looking forward to playing

Thanks for the kind words! I did just load unstable7 of ADW and it seems to work just fine. Let me know if you see otherwise!
