Basic Features

Deodexed
JIT
Rooted
JPU based
CMbins
Zipaligned
Kyoratweaks
Kyoralock
Kyoraapp
3G Turbocharged
Hybrid Data2SD and SD card swap
G3MOD Kernel (tightly integrated)
Overclock to 1.2GHz on OC version

Multi-data capable (tag: FROYO)
4 Launchers (ADW, LauncherPro, MIUI and TouchWiz)
Voodoo Sound v10
Latest Google Apps (YouTube, Market, Maps, etc)
Quite clean (this doesn't mean loads of free space on /system. I have 8MB free on my /system and I don't plan on increasing that as I don't wish to remove functionality from Kyorarom)

Change Log

Changelog

v0.5.2

Fixed the ringtone 'volume increasing' so-called bug which I didn't really see as being that big of a problem but everyone wanted me to fix it since like version v0.2.0 so now people can stop asking about it
Power Control widget is now transparent and looks cool (thanks kyrillos13 for showing me which file to edit)
Updated to latest Google Search Widget and made it transparent as well. Looks cooler.
Modified build.prop to make it easier to locate what needs to be removed to disable 3G Turbocharger.

v0.5.1

Replaced Mms.apk with the Samsung/Kyrillos one so people can stop asking about delivery reports.
Replaced CWM recovery for the ROM with standard CWM 2.5 rather than G3MOD recovery (if you are using G3MOD Kernel then you will still get G3MOD recovery)
Replaced Settings icon with the Samsung one. Looks better than the ICS icon.
Mms.apk has a blue icon to make it look cooler.
Mms.apk recoloured to resemble the theme closer.

Updated skin for Google Search Widget (looks cooler now)
Updated 3G Turbocharger

Removed MIUI Clock
Fixed Hybrid Data2SD init.d script (both in the kernel and the init.d version for Fugumod)

Fixed the checkbox placement bug in the theme

v0.3.1

JIT ACTUALLY Enabled: Now the phone will have the performance it's supposed to have.

Removed App2SDv2 and replaced with Hybrid Data2SD (you will notice no difference)

You can add more scripts like supercharger or zipalign.

Never thought of that. I'll put credits at the bottom of the first post.

ale_bot from xda app

I'll look into getting zipalign and Supercharger working. I saw a lot of people on Kyrillos experiencing issues with Supercharger. I never did, but other people did so I will have to see what happens.

And the theme will be stock Samsung until I find a suitable theme. If you have any suggestions then feel free to let me know.

deadwood01 · Aug 23, 2011

if u r planning to port a theme choose something which is not blue or green since we already have a lot of themes with those colors...
also if possible use transparent themed apps they make the rom feel lighter atleast visually...

hillbeast · Aug 23, 2011

I'm thinking a black and white theme. I don't think I've seen many of them.

You can use the theme in my ROM

if you want

If you want a black theme for your rom you can try black android by dharam: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078971

But is too much dark for me

I will probably use either the Grigora theme with some tweaks or Dharams Black Android. I will keep looking to see what pops up and will ask the authors of their works for permission.

hillbeast · Aug 23, 2011

Well that was fun: I just nearly exploded the entire firmware when I zipaligned it! It refused to boot. I tried putting the apks back in again but didn't chmod them and it worked right that time. Stupid chmod... what is it good for? Other than to provide security... And ensure the phone doesn't get viruses deleting system files...

hillbeast · Aug 23, 2011

Anyone got any ideas as to why when I add Gingerbread Keyboard to the ROM it just crashes constantly? I have clear dalvik, wiped the data, everything possible, even chmoded it and it STILL doesn't work. It works fine if I install it, but if I ADB it into the phone it hates it.

EDIT: Figured it out. To all you other people wanting to figure it out, it's because GB Keyboard has a lib in it (/lib/armeabi/libjni_latinime_moo.so) that needs to be placed in /system/lib. I did that and force closes stopped after a reboot.

If you are planning to use MIUI you can use mine.

Thanks for the offer. I'll take a good think about what theme I want. I may wind up just packing a few themes and people can choose.

I feel like the pretty girl at prom and everyone is telling me to use their theme. This is a very weird prom for everyone to be customising ROMs, I know...
