Very nice! I would switch to some of the Ics apps and Adw ex but they aren't free or have ads in them. It would be breaking the rules of the forum (and law) to remove the ads or have a payed app built into the Rom.

Also the ics messaging app has VERY buggy notifications =\ only reason I stopped using it

Alright everyone!

Version 3.0 is up! This will be the final major release. I say major release because there are still a few bugs that I will continue to work through and figure out but that won't happen for a month or so. I just simply don't have the time right now.

Between classes and work right now I'm incredibly busy and honestly a little stressed out. So I figured that I would go ahead and release 3.0 so you all can have fun and use it. Here are the issues with it

Wifi calling doesn't work
Battery info isn't displaying
And there is some black on the buttons in Accounts and Sync Settings

If you can live with that (I know I am) then its a perfectly functioning Rom.

Have fun!

You're going to want to download again and flash again... I left something out of the first one. :mad:
LOL! DOH! Current link is good to go?

NVM -- I see it is upping now. No worries, man. Thanks for your hard work. I'll be doing a post about this on my site.

In the future, remind me to stop checking XDA at 3:30 in the morning. I'll be up forever now. :p

Out of curiosity, is Beats Audio enable here? If not, will the known MOD play nicely?

Ya, drop a link to your site when you do. Its almost done uploading now.

Beats unfortunately isn't working. I tried to put it in but it kills all the sound. I just tried cooking it in so you could always try just flashing it after and see if it works.

Ya, thats the part that I had to redo and fix... lol

The customizable install makes things a little crazy.

I have actually heard of OmgDroid! I think through one of the guys running Android Enthusiasts? Wait a minute, were you on one of their hangouts just a little bit ago? Well its up now so have fun!

For the record... Poweramp + DSP > Beats

I am assuming I can just flash this over the test version I'm running, yes? No?

Sent from the morgue.


Should be fine. I just always wipe my device to keep it fresh.

I've noticed the amaze sometimes screws up downloads. It worked fine downloading on mine so maybe try a restart and then download again.

    Fourth Bar is a highly themed and slimmed down Sense 3.0 Rom that is one of the few Roms to use the Aroma custom installer. This installer lets you decide what boot animation you would like, whether you want the led button lights on or off, and even which apps you would like installed. Now your phone modifications can be molded easily to your liking.

    Please read about the known issues before posting. During testing some issues came up that have not been fixed yet and I am currently incredibly busy with school and can't finish fixing the issues until summer break rolls around. I figured instead of making you all wait 3 more weeks you might want it now with a few issues that are all listed below. Also, the download is larger than the previous version because of all the customization options. The default install is still only about 190mb.

    Downloads

    Fourth Bar 3.0

    Kernels

    Features:
    • Built on Gingerbread | Stock Base - 1.43.531.3
    • Custom Installation
    • Root Access
    • Zipalign on boot
    • Battery Life Tweaks (Amazing battery life!)
    • Hw Acceleration (Gpu Rendering of UI)
    • Net Speed Tweaks
    • Tweaked Adreno config for better performance
    • Debloated
    • Optimized Framework
    • Faux Kernel 009 and Stock Kernel options
    • Init.d Support
    • ICS Themed!
    • ICS Ringtones and Notifications
    • Highly themed Go Launcher (Ics Like)
    • Most other Sense apps left in. (Htc does make decent apps)

    ICS Theme:
    • ICS Like Launcher (Themed go launcher)
    • ICS Keyboard
    • ICS Like Lockscreen
    • Roboto Font
    • Ics Search Bar Widget
    • Themed Sense Apps (Almost Finished!!!)

    Installation:

    1. Always Backup First!
    2. Complete Wipe of System and Caches
    3. Flash in Recovery just like a normal Zip
    4. Then follow the instructions on screen to finish installation.
    5. If you aren't S-off or using Ext4 Smartflash, you need to download the Kernels Zip and flash the one you selected in the custom installer using Xboarders flashing utility. If you selected Default Installation or Minimal Installation then you will pick the Faux Kernel to flash.
    6. If using Ext4 SmartFlash do not use reboot option at the end or it won't flash the kernel
    7. Turn off facebook live feed sync or else nothing else will sync and it will waste your battery

    Known Issues in 3.0:
    • Wifi Calling doesn't work yet
    • Battery info is missing
    • Black text on Account Settings buttons
    • If using Ext4 SmartFlash do not use reboot option at the end or it won't flash the kernel
    • Go Locker (Ics themed lockscreen) causes slight multi-touch issues with graphically intensive games.


    Setup Guide:

    Coming sometime on saturday. I'm way to tired to write it tonight. Its been a long day. Basically will walk you through setting up Go launcher to look like ICS

    Well I hope you all enjoy this and remember to hit the THANKS button if you like it! :D

    An update on whats going on with Fourth Bar

    Its been a slow process of finding small little things and tweaking the code but its coming along. I would say that its about 70% finished and I'm hoping to get the rest done by next week. This will be the final major update (small bug fixes will still get addressed). Its looking amazing so far!

    O, and there's a bit of a surprise with the next update :)
    I have to say I'm pretty excited about it! Hopefully S-off gets released soon so I can use it to its full potential!

    Well now that there is an Ics Ruu... My better judgement is telling me to focus on my classes.

    I don't think I'm going to listen. Gonna work on getting fourth bar theming onto real Ics.
