[ROM]▐[29.APR.12]⁞★★Seanster_GBaxe EX v1.6:Taste of ICS★★⁞Android 2.3.6⁞Fauxv010▐

Hey yall, welcome to my ROM. I have been experimenting around with finding the perfect combination of eye candy, tweaks, battery friendliness, and stability. The result...

Latest&Greatest Series presents:​
Seanster_GBaxe EX

Most of the ROM's out there are as stock as possible, and I'm probably the most appreciative of the great work the true developers do in making all of this happen. This custom ROM, however, is optimized with the best tweaks and fixes around, with a good looking theme.

As we all wait anxiously for a stable release of ICS that we can use daily, I have decided to re-theme my ROM by porting over many elements of the ICS source. v1.6 provides a taste of ICS with the status bar, clock widget, settings widget, all icons, and much more in the UI.

Fix for blurry mms:

Method 1
Download CM7 mms.apk modded by me, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, install .zip, and reboot. Set user agent to custom.

or....

Method 2 (not confirmed)

Go into settings and edit your APN to this:

Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com (with no dash!)
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: none (actually type "none")
Password: **** (four asterisks)
Server: * (one asterisk)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.165.155.050
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Auth Type: None (NOT "Not set", actually pick "None" from the menu)
APN Type: <Not set> (if it says "default,mms,whatever" delete all that and leave it blank)

Skyrocket MMS.apk:
For those of you who want the look of the AT&T messaging...
-Download SRmms.zip
-Wipe cache and dalvik
-Install .zip from CWM Recovery
-Reboot

Revert to stock mms.apk:
Stockmms.zip

what would make this rom different from what is existing out there?

OP-
Most of the ROM's out there are as stock as possible, and I'm probably the most appreciative of the great work the true developers do in making all of this happen. This custom ROM, however, is optimized with the best tweaks and fixes around, with a good looking theme.


Me-
I'm guessing not much, but can't wait to try it out. I need my fix, lol.
