Blackout One X+ Sense 5 Theme and icon pack

Thanks to lyapota for the resource manager used to create this theme



Sense 5 Wallpapers
Sense 5 Wallpapers Download to sdcard and install you can access wallpapers through the personalize - wallpapers menu.

Sense 5 Wallpapers Only
Extract zip to a folder on your sdcard (not a flashable zip)
Use image 2 wallpaper from Google Playstore to set and size accordingly,
Turn off wallpaper scrolling in EQS tweaks to prevent the images from
falling off the edge of the display.

Mongoose Tether.apk
Save to your sdcard and install, make sure unknown sources is enabled. this tether apk is the google android tether apk recompiled from source with some performance optimizations and native support for HTC One X+ (U.S Model). it will also work for the international model but you will need to go into settings and choose the HTC One X+ setting.

Thanks to jburcko for testing this for me.

Huge thanks to QD2DC for the sense 5 lockscreen, couldn't have done it without him

Beastmode Plus Edition Kernel

Just cuz we are GPL Compliant:​

Kernel was sourced from stock HTcdev source found at htcdev.com
here is the changes i have made to the aforementioned source

https://github.com/Team-Blackout/Beastmode_plus_edition_evitare

Changes made to source:
  1. Sweep2wake
  2. Mpdecision
  3. Governors
  4. IO schedulers


Things to come:
  • OC
  • UV
  • ThermalD
  • you tell me :D

SHARING POLICY:
if you compile it you can haz it

my reason for this is that i dont own this device and dont want to maintain yet another kernel thread for a phone i dont own

How to compile it you ask??

  • Compiling my source:
  • There are some requirements
  • You must be building in a 64bit Linux environment i find ubuntu easiest to work on
  • you can run native or virtualize it


Since I use ubuntu ill go ahead and list steps used to build with that

first things first you need to get into a terminal window and run
Code:
sudo apt-get udpate && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install cmake make automake ia32-libs
Then download

http://releases.linaro.org/12.12/co...12.12-2-2012-12-12_14-52-41-linux-x86.tar.bz2
untar and place in your home directory you should rename the folder to:
android-toolchain-eabi

following that you will want a copy of the source.
Code:
git clone git://github.com/Team-Blackout/Beastmode_plus_edition_evitare.git
Part A. Pre-build Steps
A. Open terminal and change to the root of your kernel directory
Code:
cd Beastmode_plus_edition_evitare
  1. Type "export ARCH=arm"
  2. Type "export CROSS_COMPILE=~/android-toolchain-eabi/bin/arm-eabi-"
  3. Type "make beastmode_defconfig"
  4. Type "make -j2"
  5. Sit back wait and profit your final product will exist in /arch/arm/boot/zImage

you can use the DSI kitchen to pack unpack your image etc

So is it really optional to flash boot.img separately or should I do it for sure? I'm coming from maXimusATT rom. The optional part just threw me off. Ahaha, I rather it say do it for sure.

we say optional because it isn't needed to use the ROM but (and its a big one) if you want full adb support, init.d support and full insecure it is recommended that you flash it. hopefully once we get s-off we will be able to incorporate boot.img and kernel into the rom zip proper. :D:D:D

Unfortunately the USA HOX+ and the International HOX+ are different but in the same thread you seem to be from the US so I take it this is a AT&T rom? If not please correct me if I'm wrong and post what RUU in the O.P. so people dont get confused and brick. thx it looks pretty clean I'm looking forward to trying it out if at all possible.
