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.

  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

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

The kernel has to be flashed using xboarders tool that he made for flashing kernels. Sorry, I didn't make that very clear.

Hey, for those who may be looking for something other than go launcher, there's a launcher called 360 in the general android forum that has an ics theme. I am not affiliated with it but enjoy it as my launcher replacement.

    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.
