MiniCM9 Visuals

MiniCM9 Theme:​

MiniCM9 theme, is the valid successor for MiniCM6 and MiniCM7 legacy.
It is designed as close as possible to the original specs of ICS, in order to be a lightweight, beautiful alternative to the stock theme. However it is tweaked in several parts of the UI, in order to fit better to our small device's screen.

Screenshots:​

Changelog:​

*3.0.2* 26-05-2012
---------------------------------------------
-Initial release
-Several UI elements are resized (in order to fit better with the small size of the screen)
-themed most of the basic parts of framework
-themed Trebuchet (also compatible with Apex/Nova Launcher)
-themed Contacts/dialer
-themed/redesigned status bar icons (Bigger and sharper, especially on the LDPI res)
-themed Playstore (Small details in order to fit the theme)
-themed Torch (also fixed on LDPI)
-themed Apollo
-themed Camera
-themed launcher icons (lots to follow)

Performance
MiniCM9 along with the nAa-ics kernel, includes some interesting performance improvement points:

• System -> Performance -> Processor -> CPU governor and frequency --> SmartassV2 is suggested. Overclocking can be set as higher as your device can take
• System -> Performance -> Processor -> Undervolting --> Enable this to get better battery life
• System -> Performance -> Memory management -> zRam (Compcache) --> By default this is set to 18% in order to provide more physical memory (RAM)
• System -> Performance -> Kernel samepage merging -> Enable this to get smaller memory footprint due to memory sharing among apps (Note that this might increase battery consumption)

FAQ direct link and last Questions

Read Before Asking Please

FAQ for MiniCM9 and nAa kernel
reading may answer to lots of your questions !
for X10mini, X8 & x10miniPRO

• i decided to create a new thread dedicated to Q&A about miniCM9

• this thread is the place of your questions, answers, tips about miniCM9 and nAa ics kernel
• so please, as usual, read FAQ, use search option or anything else before asking commonly answered questions
• the FAQ will be incremented when needed
• the Q&A is written as Q are asked

something else that is useful to read before asking :
Here we (nearly all? XDA members, regardless of being devs or only users [like me], me at least ) don't care about your good/bad English the important is trying to be understood and to understand the content of the threads
only ask things you can't find, or you don't understand, please if you don't understand something in any process tell us exactly where is your problem : it will optimize the answer

sometime rephrasing things can make you understand better, feel free to help us for making the most understandable sentence for anybody
BUT if you don't make the effort to read, I won't make the effort to answer (ok, you can't read everything... but read the minimum )

________________________________

clic here for : FAQ

this post will be updated with the very last Questions added to FAQ about the ROM for quick view

to start with :

5/ why can't i make FMradio work?miniCM9-3.0.1 all devices
you need to turn bluetooth on and then launch the app

____________________


7/ some problems with default input method ?(for miniCM9-3.0.1/nAa-ics02 on X10mini & X10miniPRO)
here is the explanation of the bug, and how to live with (there is no way to fix it atm)

1. the red part are nearly unresponsive :
   
   
   
   but the buttons are still perfectly usable, just need to press more to the center
   
2. when typing more than 2 times on a word : the app FC, to restart it just wait 2 seconds after pressing "ok"
   
3. same issue when selecting words, it can lead to FC

in fact you'll quickly see by yourself how to live with this, without much problem
==> supposed reason : conflict between input method selecting way and ICS way, the two want to select, and ICS wins the battle
==> the well known keyboard panel freeze that existed in miniCM7 no more exists in miniCM9 !


___________________
8/ why reboot to recovery option never reboots?miniCM9-3.0.1 nAa-ics-02 all devices
after choosing, wait for a while and press home, it will successfully reboot to recovery

___________________
11/ on trebuchet home screen, labels are cut, what to do?(all versions, robyn ans mimmi [cause : LDPI] )
4 choices :

• disable labels : settings > trebuchet > home screen > hide labels
• disable google search bar : settings > trebuchet > home screen > disable search bar
• change grid size : settings > trebuchet > home screen > grid size
• use Apex launcher

Tips to make things faster

* You want to overclock as much as you device can handle. ICS requires more juice to run.
* Remove / Freeze system apps that you don't need, especially DSP Manager
* Install only apps that you need, don't bloat your system
* Consider using a swap partition / file if you got a fast sdcard. Swap will give more memory for the hungry ICS to consume
* Using Zram (Compcache) and KSM is also suggested as they will give you a tad more RAM for your apps. Note that they might also reduce battery life since they require CPU cycles.
* Trebuchet is beautiful but a bit on the laggy side yet. Consider installing another launcher from the market like Apex.

Don't report bugs if you are using thirdparty tools that claim to be boosting the performance (Supercharger, RAM Manager, etc.)
