Rock Steady / CM7 (GingerSense) (5-1-11)
BEFORE READING ON, MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY!!!
Who is Rock Steady for?/About Rock Steady
Looking for the faster 2.3.3 hero cdma rom with HTC Sense Theme??!?! This is just for you!!! This rom is a developed by me and cyanogenmod and the cyanogenmod team. The name inspired by the Rock Steady Break bboy crew. They are the original bboy crew that inspired future generations to breakdance like myself, but yet they remain true to the dance. That short explanation reminds of this rom and how android went from 1.5 to 2.3.3 but this rom remains original to the default theme of android when you first bought your phone from sprint, sense ui framework. If you can't tell by now I like to breakdance so that is the basis of where the name came from. Please read on for more information.
What Needs Work?
- modify the lock screen pattern to have that same green streak like sense's lock screen pattern does
- modify the lock screen and notification bar "sprint" text to say either "gingersense" or "heroc"
- also i need to include a super circle battery mod as extra for those of you who would like a super circle battery instead of the sprint battery (coming soon
)Instructions:
1. Backup EVERYTHING (SD Card, Titanium Backup, Nandroid)
2. Wipe EVERYTHING (Data/Factory Rest, Wipe Cache, Format Boot, System, Cache, and Data, Wipe Dalvik)
3. Download and Copy RockSteady & Gapps to your sdcard
Get Rock Steady Here
Get Gapps Here
4. Flash RockSteady and Gapps and Reboot
5. Skips gapps setup and reboot into recovery and wipe data, cache, and dalvik again
6. reboot into system
7. After setting up gapps, in the menu > sense settings > ui setting > check tint ab and make the scale factor 1 instead of 7
8.Press menu > add > custom shortcut > then click the phone icon and use es file explorer and choose the transparent.png I provided for you on the root of your SD card. Change the activity to say phone by pressing pick your activity > applications > phone. Okay the custom widget and the drag and drop it over the phone button. Do the same for right sense dock button (choose a custom activity of your choice)
9. Add the sense clock by using the fancy widget widget i provided for you.
10. Press menu > settings > cyanogenmod settings > lockscreen > style options > lockscreen style > lense. This is the new modified lockscreen I've been working on Its not perfect yet but it's a start. This is just my way of saving you a few bucks from buying a lockscreen from the market. Although, if you'd like a sense-like lockscreen which looks slightly different from the stock lockscreen (in terms of shading/brightness/darkness), please see here about widgetlocker. Please purchase this app from the market to use as the sense lockscreen. I REALLY RECOMMEND IT. And you can easily disable the default lockscreen once you start using this app by going into the cyanogenmod settings > tablet settings > and checking disable lockscreen.

4-4
-fixed reboot problem with flash zip
- now uses v1.4 mp tweaks

- hardware acceleration for ui
- fixed media volume up/down icon
- fixed manual apk install warning icon
- screen state governor switcher :D so this rom is now almost a mp & bl rom (the balance is now like 80/20 with majority of the tweaks being for performance but battery life is still awesome for all the performance gained)
- phone lag is GONE! :D finally got my phone lag script correct for the heroc
- i/o scheduler tweaks helped performance/smoothness A LOT
