Awesome work man !!

I was keenly searching for some like this .. awesome work man for incorporating features of both AOSP and TW in single rom.

Although I was wondering , if it would be possible to change DPI to say 210-220 which would make the rom rather pleasing to eyes. With new S3 touchwiz (or even the old one) everything looks so big. So if the LCD density can be altered in build.prop such that dailer is not affected, that it would be amazing.

Keep up the good work !! will give the rom a try today .. :D

Portal Rom V1.1 Download has been linked on the 1st post

Portal Rom 1.1
  • Everything listed in Version 1.0
  • Removed some Apps that can be installed from the Play Store
  • Settings got new Glow icons to match the rest of the Rom
  • S-Voice was included as a default feature including wake up features and Dock features
  • Changed the Modem to XXLPS as it obtains a Wifi lock quicker and in general seem more stable than the new XXLPX.
  • 3G and Wifi Stability resolved. It was related to the latest modem driver.
  • Rom got a Performance boost by removing start-up scripts that was running in the background. This is not affecting functionality but you should see better battery and overall performance - Let me know please if it made a difference
  • TW4 has been updated and it should respond a little bit smoother than before.

Love how the OP is trying so hard to ignore all those messages about "not original" or "must be moved" :D



Seriously though it must be moved!

i wouldn't say he is ignoring..simply not paying attention to post that point out nothing of real importance....your post would be such a post....

simply posting something to be noticed does not make your post a good post....

sure it may not belong here, but that is for MODS to decide, not some user looking to point fingers....contribute, develop, or simply read and don't post anything...

OP, i am finding the phone locks up like a biznotch when i answer a call....the screen goes black and i am unable to waken it back up...pretty annoying when trying to call my voicemail!

Is that on V1.1 or on V1.0?

V1.0 was using a flakey modem where V1.1 it was replaced by a proven reliable Modem.

I am in essence reading what everyone is saying and its sad that pointing the finger is all they are able to contribute to my rom I worked on and other ppl's roms. What constitutes original? Considering what original means "unique" please show me a rom exactly like mine?

Would only the 1st CM9 then be considered original and ALL the others then just be classified as "nothing original" as its just theming?

I did have this discussion with a Mod and it really don't matter to me where it is hosted. This is something I am doing for the users not for myself.

Problem occurred on both v1 and v1.1.

I think it may have to do with the UV. Going to fully wipe and reflash 1.1.

Will use voltage control to change the UV settings.

    i don't understand whats Original in this:confused:
    7
    Sorry If I'm so demanding, your rom is really great, but would you mind to make a mod for a status bar to have original color ? Thanks

    I try to accommodate everyone but in the end follow my own design initiative. I always look at suggestions and requests and it might be something to consider.

    The funny thing about it thought is that I never ask anyone ever to use the "Donate to me" button yet its expected of me to put in hours of time to make changes to accommodate everyone... Just saying.

    I do this because I feel I have something to offer. If you want to make some changes to Portal Rom feel free to read up on the forums and users blogs what needs to be changes and apply the changes to the Rom. If it ends up being a theme for Portal Rom that would be great too.

    I'm not doing any work now Zlig ... No point in updating and spending the time now with JB 1 month away. I was hoping JB would be here sooner but in all fairness a lot of time and effort goes into developing these roms and even though a small change can have a big impact on overall experience.

    My next Update will be with JB and I will spend a lot more time and effort into expanding the functionality I never got around to doing. in 4.0.4

    All in all Thanks to all the users who have supported this project and there will definitely be a JB update very early after it gets leaked. I am keeping an eye out every day for a leaked version and I will try and get it to all of you ASAP

    For now we just have to wait ... Yea I know its killing me too
