Well, going to skip pre-alpha and going straight to Alpha.
I really hope I get things done by the end of this month, as explained in the blog, I found a spanish tutorial for Youtube and trying to implement this now :p
Just have to figure out which one of the 2 UI's I have in mind I'll use..

Well all code snippets are English, so that in combination with all other text translated to English will do :p

Also, please other devs, don't hesitate to upload your own Custom ROMs over there!
I want to be able to add them to Pyramid once it's done :p

For those who are interested, I've uploaded the RA-Mod site (without the forums) source code to GitHub: https://github.com/jamiehoyle/ramod-site

This will stay current with the state of the actual site, so when I change the site, I will upload the changes to GitHub.

Enjoy!

Hey all,
Today I'm changing the libraries I use from ActionBarSherlock to GreenDroid.
Why? Because the GreenDroid Library has a lot more customization options(and easier).
And beside that, GreenDroid adds more then just the ActionBar.
However it does require some rewriting of code, but when that's done it's pretty easy to create newer layouts, for example the YouTube Layout (I decided which UI to use, but couldn't do that with ActionBarSherlock).

If you're interested, look them up on Google :)
Both libraries also have demo apps in the Market (Or Google Play, but I hat that name).

Dympy.

For anyone who is interested, I've posted a screen-grab of the hits for the RA-Mod site over at RA-Mod Forums - you can access them here. Thanks for the support from the community - it's great to have that level of visitors especially considering we've only been tracking site visits for 2 days!

EDIT: It's probably worth pointing out that those stats don't include the forum stats, I'm going to work on enabling recording on there tonight.

Totally forgot to provide updates for you guys!

So yeah, not that much has happened, I ported the existing app to the newer library, harkan89 made pretty neat icons and wiggierip redid all weather icons for the Social HuB.

Oh, and speaking about the Social HuB, I kinda got YouTube working :D
More info will be found on the newest commit, available soon on my github, just have to find a way to define the quality..

Since I can't get screenshots working, I'm just going to make a new video showing off all new features.

I saw it, looks pretty neat, but for site related stuff you'll have to knock on Pixdevs door :p

I'm finishing up some layouts for the YouTube part and then I'll make a video of the current progress.

Why hello there... ;)

Yeah, I'm currently playing around with it on a local copy of the site. Also, Dympy, I fixed the CSS errors (now CSS3 compliant), so I'll upload the updated style.css to GitHub now.

    It's funny, the ROM is called "RA-mod", but it's the eye of Horus.

    introduction-1.png


    Hello all and welcome to the thread for the upcoming G3MOD follow up.
    I (Dympy) will be working on this with support from the G3MOD/DroidDevs team.

    This ROM is CM7 based, by our wonderfull Marcellusbe, give him lots and lots of thanks or buy him a beer.

    This ROM shall have all kind of new features, including, but not limited to:
    - Custom Launcher
    - Custom Music player
    - Custom Lockscreen
    - Custom Theme
    - Social hub, fully integrated in the system.

    For now no ETA is available, so please refrain from asking.
    I shall post updates whenever I get something done, including screenshots if available.

    All big releases shall be public and sources shall be available within a month after release.

    If you are a good designer and want to be involved in this project, please contact me through PM.
    I still need some nice banners and some standard backgrounds.

    DharamG3, for setting up the initial ROM
    Marcellusbe, for porting the wonderful CM7
    Cdesai, for offering all the help he has to offer!
    G3MOD Team, especially Moikop and Hillbeast, for their kernel
    Cyanogenmod, for providing their sources
    Anderweb(?), for providing ADW Launcher source (for my own ADW Lite, which shall be used as a base for RA Launcher)
    Pixdev, for the banners, a lot of ideas and support, and upcoming backgrounds
    13
    And my instincts were right!

    So without any further ado, I present to you all RA-Mod Build 2:

    RA_Mod_Build_2_(24-6-2012).zip

    It's a CWM flashable zip, but here's the procedure I followed and found working:
    - Flash CM7.2 A8.2 by MarcellusBe, do a data/factory reset after install (So everything is all clean and nice).
    - Boot one time to check everything is working.
    - Reboot in recovery and flash the RA_Mod_Build_2_(24-6-2012).zip and boot into the OS.
    - Now, download GAPPS using Pyramid, I've included the version recommended by MarcellusBe in his CM7 thread.
    - Reboot in recovery to install GAPPS, after the install do another data/factory reset (And this one is important, otherwise RA Launcher keeps on FC'ing and it's the only launcher included.)
    - Setup your google account and enjoy!

    Now do note, this ROM is still one big WiP, so expect some errors here and there.
    If you find an error, please tell me the steps you took and I'll see if I can reproduce it.
    I'm going to try and do some more work on the custom apps next week, but we'll have to see how much I'll get done because of my job.

    I'm going to update first post in an hour or so, first a nice hot bath :p

    Thanks for all the support guys.
    He had to go into surgery this morning but everything went just fine.

    Anyhow, to keep myself distracted from things, I made myself a little deadline thingy.
    At the end of next Friday, I want to reach Milestone 1 for:
    The Launcher
    The Theme
    The Social HUB.

    Now you're probably wondering what will be in the first milestone release.
    Well, here are some details:
    RA Launcher:
    - New Dock
    - Quick Settings
    - Extra stuff I might add
    Now, the biggest part of the custom launcher is still missing, but I'm keeping it a secret..
    Theme:
    At least new colors in the statusbar itself, just to match the ROM.
    Maybe I'll also redo the notifications part.
    Social HUB:
    - Weather
    - RSS
    Still, more to come, hence Milestone 1

    • Customized framework, beside some color changes also some self invented mods(They're a WiP on themselves).
    • Own Launcher, not that much settings and customization available yet, but favourites part will be there(One way or another!).
    • Customized Music app, with share/tweet function of your current song, lyrics support probably realised in later version.
    • Redone Settings Menu, more Info will follow.
    • Software Center, first version, let there be bugs.
    • GAPPS excluded, since it's CM7 based and note Open Source, GAPPS will be available from Software Center.
