[ROM] SSX 2.2 (2.3.7) Incl. 1% Battery and Other Goodies

[Animal]

Flashed this earlier today over CM7 on .605

Everything went smooth and worked great... until I just had to go and theme it. I flashed the Crystal theme by Dark Dog, which is absolutely gorgeous for those who aren't familiar, and that worked great aside from the battery icon remaining stock SSX. This was not really a surprise and was certainly not yet a deal breaker. The problem came when I tried to flash the full system morph and got my very most favorite result... bootloop

So I wiped in stock recovery and flashed my CM7 backup. I plan on flashing it again but I'm curious if anyone has had similar issues or knows where I went wrong?

If it was a metamorph specifically for CM7 then they do not always work when applied to other ROMs unfortunately, even if they have a CM base. I have run into this a number of times.

Battery life is amazing on this. I've been running all day with heavy use; Ebay, text, Facebook, market ect.. And i'm at 74% with no mid day charge. I'm very impressed.

Does anyone know if there is a app killer built into this ROM? On miui I could hold the home button to bring up a app killer

I've re-flashed and again tried to theme. Last time around I booted into recovery to flash the morph file immediately following selection of the theme and got the bootloop. This time I selected my theme and decided to reboot without bothering with the morph. The status bar (including the battery as it was a different theme) and dock did change properly as it should before the reboot... but instead of the remainder of the icons and widgets being themed when it booted up, it all went back to stock SSX.

So how do I get the theme to stick and how do I create a proper morph for the lockscreen after that?

And thanks for the help so far.

Oh - and the morphs I tried were through zipthemer but I've used metamorph as well.

Trying 2.2 right now, since 2.1 would never keep my settings. So far so good. Great improvement over 2.1. Thanks again chevy

I hate to say it, but same here. :'(
It's a shame because it's such a nice rom. For some reason some roms work better for some phones and not others.

Checking out SS v. 2.2

Loaded 2.2 non themed over OTA 605. Went very smooth. Looking forward to checking it out. Will not add any themes or crapware until I give it a through test.

By the way, Juice Defender really fouled up the radios on 2.1. Once I uninstalled JD, my radio problems disappeared. (I am testing 2.2 w/o JD). Will report on radios, battery, etc in a few days.

One thing about fixing radio problems: One, turn off all radios and then select airplane mode (whether it "sticks" or not), then reboot your phone. It should come up in airplane mode. Now turn on the radios. On the X, this will sync the data/WIFI toggles (unless you have something like juice defender interfering with the process).

Go to settings, applications, development and check "Stop app via long-press."
