[ROM][ICS 4.0.4][NTFS][3G] Megatron (CM9 based) [v1.1.6] (Cornerstone Available)

Really enjoy the ROM. I'm curious though is there any possibility of getting the stock MyCloud working with all the functions? I take advantage of splashtop and really don't want to install an alternative to my 3 PCs if possible. Thanks for the hard work. It is really appreciated on this end.

Same here. Had this issue for a couple of ROMs so far.
Right now:
1.0.4
Geuvor test15

Also, does anyone know how to get the gallery to accept different default app for video files? Sounds silly, but i can't get my avi's to open with MX through the gallery, even though I've set it as the default player.

I had this same issue when I was using titanium backup to restore all my apps after a rom flash. If I just did a flash and then reinstalled from the market and only used titanium for data restoration of the necessary apps I was fine and it fixed the problem.

Again, use it frelly :D If you still dont like it :eek: wait a while longer and you might get lucky :cool:

Thanks! Added to the 1st post

Firstly, Megatron is a massive improvement over every other ICS rom i've tried - no SODs or random reboots. So thanks!

Secondly, I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but would it be possible to consider having an option in Megatron Parts to invert the scrolling direction of the touchpad? Basically, to make it so that when you scroll down the touchpad, it actually scrolls down the page, instead of up?

Obviously, I don't know if this is even feasible, but just putting the idea out there...

Almost everything in possible. It's just a matter how hard it is to implement. I'll see if I can make that

Next version will have native support for Asus apps, and then I will include them in Megatron Parts. But I have to check is MyCloud works.

Never mind if you cannot port it. All you hace done is awesome!

Don't worry. I'll try to make a sort of theme system. Instead of me adding more battery icons to the rom, you will be able to install a pack file in megatron parts which contains battery icons and then you can choose them in megatron parts. And of course I will make more things customizable.

But will take some time, so it's not going to be available soon.

Hi Ricardo. First, thanks for your hard work!

Does the native Asus app support on next version includes the keyboard and quicksettings toggles also?

That doesn't even seem like a good idea lol. That'd confuse everyone for awhile

I have never used TiB since starting this ROM back at 1.0.1. I have always just let the market re-push all of my apps. I had an issue with another ROM after using Titanium, so I just gave up on it for now. Since under this ROM, we don't have to do a "full" wipe between releases, I haven't reloaded any apps in a while.

What's weird is that under settings->apps, it shows MX player as having been set as the default app for AVIs, but in the gallery it still tries to open the default video player. What's even weirder is that under ASTRO or ES File Explorer, AVIs open with MX by default, but if I try to play them with the default player, it errors out. Under the gallery it attempts to play, but just sits there and spins.

This is actually how it is on stock. When you change the pointer to the arrow it functions identical to a multitouch trackpad on a PC. It is quite intuitive actually.

Haha, ooooh. Well I've only had this tablet for 6 days now, and I was on stock for maybe two hours total, so idk.

Has anyone experienced the icons / widgets disappearing from the desktop? Has happened to me 3 times. Running this rom, guevver kernel test 15 and either stock or Apex launcher the icons vanish with only the live wallpaper showing. Had to reboot to clear the issue.

Try to lock the launcher in memory.
That's a memory issue. Maybe you have many Widgets and live wallpaper (and maybe many apps open), which consumes a lot of ram.
Also if you have wake lock, uninstall it.

Next version will maybe have the theme system.:D
Actually it is easier than I thought.

    This is my new ROM based on CyanogenMod 9
    This includes more features that normal CM9 and also fixes so everything works like i should

    From 1.1.0+ you need to install kernels provided in the link below or wifi will not work

    Some quotes :D
    ricardo really listens to the users, and he has some great ideas where he is workig on, its a top dev for sure !
    I concur concerning the CM9 Megatron build. It is by far the best ROM running at this point. :)
    This is by far the most stable and consistent ICS ROM released so far. Damn good work Ricardo! :)
    Took this weekend to test other roms and no surprise, Megatron is the winner hands down!
    I mean, second place is so far back that it is unexplainable!
    Great work!




    The cornerstone build is still the old CM9 (4.0.3) because it is not compatible with 4.0.4, so it doesn't have the new features

    This rom is using stock kernel.
    Other kernels available in the link below

    If you come from the previous CM9 rom with a custom kernel, you have to download it again through the new link because i've made some changes

    Cornerstone build and old builds here: www.xdafileserver.nl

    Features: All these are optional and can be toggled by Megatron Parts made by acquariusoft
    Quick Apps (video)
    Installable icons
    Horizontal recent apps (no need to restart SystemUI and wait 10 sec like in AOKP)
    Screenshot by long-pressing recent apps button (like stock rom)
    Mouse pointer in touchpad
    PS3 Controller support (Pairing instructions below)
    Notification power widget
    Dock battery in status bar
    And more

    Cornerstone build bugs:
    ****ty wifi
    Clock may get stuck
    Battery stats may not work

    I'm really really sorry guys, but i've been really really busy.
    I'm not dropping support on Megatron, i've just been really busy.

    But now i'm going to start working on CM10 and see how it goes, so Megatron next update will be with CM10. And it's going to take a while because many things have changed since i left.
    Also, now i'm not going to be so active on the forum as i was in the beginning.
    13
    Ricardo, how is going on the development? I´m missing some Megatron´s update

    I've been busy with other things, but i'm putting more features into the rom and i plan to have a new version this week.
    12
    Also I see there is a few more nightly roms up for our cm9 im wondering if any of the changes will be integrated into megatron if any of the fixes or optimization's have not already been done in 1.0.4 before the cm9 team could start work

    Either way looking forward to the next release :)

    Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app

    Yes, next version will have updated cm9 code.

    Hey Ricardo, everything alright ? long time no hear from you :eek:
    If you are taking a break, you earned it man, enjoy it ! ;)

    Everything is fine.
    I've been busy these days with school things, but I'm also slowing the development a bit(nothing to worry about). This rom is not the only thing in my life (but it is a big part of it).
    And yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu to 12.04, so I was out of the PC for some time.

    I want to release the rom as soon as possible, but is must be stable.
    I've been improving it (mainly the upcoming theme system).
    Now I just need to finish it, update the cm9 code, implement the new feature in megatron parts, test them and release.

    Edit: CM9 ported the T-Mobile theme engine to ics.
    So much work for nothing
