Instructions
**MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE USING AN HBOOT THAT HAS AT LEAST 240MB ON THE SYSTEM PARTITION (STOCK HBOOT WORKS FINE)** (Unless you are using a Slim version)

Recommendations/Requirements:
- A 512mb - 1.5gb ext partition (ext4 recommended) on your sdcard. Use this guide, and this guide only to create the partition. Partitions made using other tools (CWM, Minitool Partition Wizard, etc.) will likely cause issues.
-A somewhat decently functioning brain

Download ROM and GAPPS
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup (optional but recommended)
Full wipe
Flash ROM
Flash GAPPS
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Reboot
Activate a2sd by running the following commands in the provided terminal emulator app:
Code:
```
su
a2sd install
y
n
y
```
Flash the Fixes & Add-On's that you would like (found in second post)

-csytracy for releasing the source to his cm build
-WoH for the device tree and a few other repos (bionic)

Other Info
All in all, this ROM is Cyanogenmod 10.1 with a few graphic changes. It also includes various extra features that have been cherry picked from multiple sources. In addition this ROM is compiled without the use of cchache and only full clean builds are released. This means that it will take longer for me to compile, however it will result in a reduced chance of bugs and maybe even an increase in performance.

Fixes & Add-On's

Restore Stock Font - removes the preinstalled custom font, and replaces it with the Jellybean's default Roboto font.
Restore Stock Lockring - removes the chromium logo lockring, and replaces it with the stock lockring.
Fix Tearing (Build 10 ONLY) - fixes graphical tearing issues found in build 10. It is no longer needed to use the "Disable HW overlays" option.
Disable Button Backlight - disables the backlight on the desires hardware buttons.
White Softkeys - Replaces the holo blue softkeys with white ones

More Stuff & FAQ

How do I disable Navigation Bar?
Settings > Chromium ROM settings > Button Height > 0dp (off)

Im getting graphical issues & tearing throughout some apps in build 10. How do I fix this?
First go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. That will enable the Developer options menu. Go into it and enable "Disable HW overlays".
This should solve all of these issues, but keep in mind that this option does not stick after a reboot. Therefore you will need to re-enable it upon each boot.
**There is now a fix for this - Download and flash it from the Fixes & Add-On's section above**

Recommended Settings for Performance:
First go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. That will enable the Performance menu. Then go into it and choose these:

Processor:
CPU Governor - Performance
Min CPU Freq. - 460MHz
Max CPU Freq - 1113MHz

I/O scheduler:
I/O scheduler - CFQ

Memory management:
zRam - 26%
Allow purging of assets - Enabled
KSM - Enabled

Also install Nova launcher, as Trebuchet (the stock launcher) seems to be a bit laggy.

Here are some screenshots of the battery life im getting after a day of heavy usage:
Almost 4 hours of screen on time...Keep in mind that i still have another 20% battery left in the screenshots.

could you please make it compatible for Data++ hboot.?? i.e 180 system
coz have to use int2ext (1gb ..sd-ext) as 100mb (data) is required for each 500mb sd-ext :/

I could try, but I don't think I can make it that small. I've already removed a lot from.it.
Why not just use a2sd?...it works fine

Thanks!

I havent used it for long enough yet. But after about 3 days i havent encountered anything too big. Only issue ive noticed is that sometimes the phone doesnt wake immediately when it is locked (when you press the lock button it takes a couples seconds for the screen to turn on

Actually im using my rom right now...im just too lazy to edit my signature. Maybe later

wifi works fine for me. Try asking in the q&a section

also i completely forgot to add a gapps download...i was too focused on getting the rom to boot. So does anyone have a gapps package that works well with this? Let me know and I'll add it to the OP. One more thing, has anyone tested jelly hboot? Should work fine, just wondering

quimbexa · Mar 25, 2013

Giving me status 7 error upon flashing. Could be because of my data partition, it's full of bad blocks, I used jelly hboot.

Great ROM ! Fast & Stable since yesterday. No soft reboot and Wifi work great.

But how to disable the soft nav ?

Have a nice day !

Thanks. To disable the navbar:
-navigate to /system
-open build.prop
-look for this line and remove it:

Code:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Then reboot

GDB007 · Mar 26, 2013

It is possible to add this style of Navbar to other CM10.1 based ROMS?

Re: [ROM]<--CHROMIUM ROM v1.0-->[JB 4.2.2][CM10.1]

You could copy the systemui.apk into another ROM, but its possible that it won't work.

Or you could just download the soft keys that you want and manually put them into your ROMs systemui yourself...that's guaranteed to work.
