[2.1 ROM - 1.25Ghz] Simply Stunning V1.0.3 (2/28/2010)

[ChevyNo1]

If you currently have a version of SS running on your Droid now, you're probably wondering what you get in this upgrade. Here is what is new:


1. A new kernel - still 10 slots, 1.25 Ghz max, but now includes a stock 550 slot. Also defaults to 550 until modified by SetCPU, etc.
2. Reskinned apps to match the blue/glass theme better: Browser/Contacts/News/Gmail/Launcher/Mms/Settings/Market/Youtube
3. 2.1 Music app
4. A free market Live Wallpaper (Starfield)
5. New framework that fixes the automatic unlocking of phone when keyboard is slid open. (ALL credit to Greek35T for this)
6. Keyboard backlight also works (but no auto-brightness; see additional links below)

Since the update.zip ONLY contains the updates, it is small and installs quickly, leaving all your data intact.


Download Links For Existing Users of my ROM:

- Simply Stunning v1.0.3 Update.zip
- Megaupload Mirror

NOTE - If you are running the 2.1 launcher in a previous version of SS - it is now gone, which means you will have to reset your home screen widgets and icons.


Download Links For First Time Users of my ROM:

- Simply Stunning v1.0.3 Nandroid
- Megaupload Mirror

NOTE: There is a bug in the launcher where you'll see no icons when it first boots up. Swipe one screen left and they are there. Working on this currently.

If you are coming from 2.0.1, you MUST data wipe - if you do not, you WILL have problems

update.zip Installation Instructions:

Copy the update.zip to the root of your sdcard
Reboot into recovery mode
Install
Allow update.zip
Install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated)
Reboot
Your data is safe and will not be touched!


Nandroid Installation Instructions:

-NO data wiping required if using 2.1 now - your settings and apps stay intact, just like update.zip
-It is strongly suggested to nandroid-backup your current ROM before doing anything!
-Extract the files from the archive using WinRAR or a similar program
-Place the extracted folder (the ROM) into the "nandroid" folder on your sdcard
-Reboot into recovery mode
-Backup/Restore
-Advanced Nandroid Restore
-Choose backup (select the ROM)
-Perform Restore
-Done!

Do not worry that it shows 'data' as automatically being selected. It doesn't matter, as no data partition is in this nandroid backup.
Your data is safe and will not be touched!



Base:

Greek35T's Version 1 ROM (he has done an amazing job of producing these base ROM's, all credit goes to him)


Added:

-Overclocked Kernel with TEN slots allows clocking of 125-1250 MHz in mixed steps (credit to ChevyNo1)
- This kernel also includes all 2.6.32 backport patches (soft keyboard/light-sensor/brightness)
- Now supports TempMonitor!
- Based on sholes latest kernel source + my slot patches
- I have spent many hours tweaking this kernel to run at the lowest possible voltage (no significant increase until 1100Mhz)
- With the 2.0.1 launcher, my testing + real world use has been rock solid, no reboots, no FC's, even @ 1.25Ghz
- This is a new kernel from previous releases that should run cooler, therefore more stable. This ALSO includes the STOCK
- 550Mhz slot, and the kernel DEFAULTS to that speed, until you use an app like SetCPU.

10-slot 1.25Ghz Kernel + WIFI Module - install update.zip via SPRecovery
Multitouch Browser (credit to t3hSteve) - topic here - NOTE - You WILL get a slightly-messed up address bar with this, AND pretty bad typing lag, which is why it's not included by default
Stock Taskbar Patcher - update.zip install through SPRecovery
Glass Pandora To Match Theme - push to /data/app
Framework with working auto-brightness but no automatic kb backlight + will unlock if keyboard is slid open - Rename to framework-res.apk, push to /system/framework, reboot

Link to Greek35T's 2.1 Launcher Thread


Recommended Apps:

Wifi-Tether - I have personally only tested the pre3 version
SetCPU - not included as it is a paid Market app


Bugs:

-Not all Live Wallpapers are interactive (others need Launcher2, not included as it's too buggy)
-No auto-brightness - use other framework if you really need to have it
-In-call MUTE still not working (known issue with 2.1 ROMS)

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

The Linpack screenshot is with JIT enabled - 12.08

Man, Chevy, now I am going to have to try this one out too.

[thebowers]

What about KB lights and auto brightness?

[ChevyNo1]

Notes state that kb backlight works, but no auto brightness - separate download for that if you wish, but you will then lose the fix (by Greek) so the phone doesn't unlock when the keyboard is slid open.

Have you seen this yet Nandroid of 2.1 for Droid (ERE25)

Just saw it .. grabbing now to check out

[JonKyu]

Whoot! going to flash and try this out now! You and Adamz are making it hard to stick to just one ROM lol!

Just donated also for your awesome support and Kernel work!

EDIT: I can't modify the Framework-res anymore with metamorph. It makes my phone reboot

[mrnelson86]

Seriously Chevy, between you, Pete, and Adamz, I am eating up all my SDcard space with nandroid restores and indecision...

Thanks Jonkyu!

Yes, I've seen this issue crop up a FEW times on the 2.1 framework - I was able to get it working by manually patching the files myself and then pushing framework while in recovery mode ...
