Sadly, project has been dropped due to device switch ( now I own a Desire ). I wish to donate this ROM. PM me if you are interested to keep the project alive ( infos HERE )
v3 out.
A first JB Alpha has been released. I've started working on PA2+ ports. PA1.5 will still be supported until a stable PA2+ will be released.

Please take a look to ALL THE INFOS. THERE IS A LOT OF IMPORTANT STUFF ON THIS POST!





Bades On zeubea's CM9 Beta5
( This ROM is made by quite only zeubea's untouched stuff. Please Thank him before me )
Based on GSII Paranoid Android 1.5a
( Only Framework and Apps. You'll find some useless GSII options. I'll use other ROMs in future )
Based on Paranoid Android


This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, they change two lines in your build.prop file which you could easily edit yourself in seconds and maybe throw a keyboard in there to make it work better. It's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank. Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. we're calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.

- CWM > Wipe Data/Cache | CWM > Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Download ROM [DOWNLOAD1]
( Note that the error window from Google is jus because the file is big, you can download with the link below )
- Flash Fixed ICS GApps [DIRECT LINK] [UNOFFICIAL FASTER DOWNLOAD]

If you're updating from previous version wipe is not needed, just flash this over.

- Edited CMWallpaper.apk with resolution fix. [ integrated in v3 ]
--- Replace CMWallpaper.apk in /system/app with this one. It will fix the resolution problems in CyanogenMod's Wallpapers (more instructions just before Download).
--- [DOWNLOAD1]

- Edited LatinIME with new emoticons [IMAGE]
--- Replace LatinIME.apk in /system/app with this one. It will change displayed emoticons in Messaging app (more instructions just before Download).
--- [DOWNLOAD1]

- Edited Phone.apk with density fix ( credits to feed3. Thank him if now you can call to Obi-Wan Kenobi ) [ integrated in v3 ]
--- Have you noticed that when you make/recive a call, you just can't make/recive a call? This gives you a solution (more instructions just before Download. If you feel just too noob, you can also follow ehmad's instructions in Post 39).
--- [DOWNLOAD1]

- Center Clock
--- This is an edited SystemUI.apk that will center your clock on Phone Statusbar ( maybe even on tablet? ). Just replace old SystemUI with this new. MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE. Known Bugs : clock won't disappear when notifications are prompted (IMAGE)
--- [DOWNLOAD1]

Everything is uploaded on GDrive. If you want to reupload any of these files just PM me with the link, I'll add as DOWNLOAD2 (after testing,obviously).
If you want to share your add-on just PM me with link and description.

- Take a look to the Paranoid Android Stuff
- Don't set DPI for settings lower than 120 ( may crash when changing apps DPI. Lower than 80 will surely crash )
- Don't set DPI for camera lower than 140 in Phone Mode ( it will crash ).
- Make a backup with the app included of the layout when you first boot. If you get some trouble, you'll always be able to reset that
- First Boot will take a while, ROM is deodexed.
- Note that on First Boot everything will look like zeubea's CM9. This is for easier start. You'll have to customize your own DPIs and layouts in Settings > Paranoid Settings.

- Camcording should not work
- Settings/Memory FCs ( thanks to creepy bummer )
- No USB Mass Storage ( but ADB works fine. To view files on SDcard you can use QtADB, ADB with user interface ) ( Thanks to alomsong )
- "Authentication Error" when connecting to WPA2 networks ( not everyone has this problem ) ( Thanks to alomsong )
- Stock Phone.apk crashes when making/reciving a call. Go to Add-On or Post 28 to download feed3's edited Phone.apk. Then replace old apk with the edited ( follow ehmad's instructions at Post 39 )
- "Tablet Mode (Small)" on first load will set DPI for settings lower than 100. Settings will FC. Be careful when applying ( be ready to put hands on pad.prop ) or use "Tablet Mode (Optimized)".
- "Tablet Mode (Optimized)" on first boot will give troubles in unlocking ( flip horizontal, open camera, flip vertical, press home ). You can solve this changing framework-res DPI to 120/110/100. Also change SystemUI DPI to 110 and everything will look like "Tablet Mode (Small)".

Actually, I need some Beta Testers. If you can flash this and search for issues, I'd be very happy.

Upload is to 93%, just one more minute :)

Edit : Link should be OK!

Are you sure? Note that after clicking that you have to choose "Download", and then Google will warn you that he can't scan the file. You can download it using the link below the warning (Download anyway). Is it still not working? Damn, I liked GDrive so much.

I'm uploading also on Mediafire. I'll fix the link again in few minutes. Sorry

i will try your rom after i change my legend's screen, it looks very good, i like it.

Download link of ROM is work and the speed is great.

Download link of Gapps is work and the speed is poor.

Link of Gapps(gapps-ics-20120511-fixed.zip) is : http://115.com/file/c2vemf0v#

For gapps I linked to the Page of Paranoid Android for credits. Have you reuploaded them? I can link in the first post to this post.

Well done Alex :D While your away I'll try to work to solve problems and fix anything unusual.
Well, thanks. If you need any info about this build to work on in please mail/pm me, I'll tell you all I can :) (mail address should be in my profile. If it is not, you can check my G+ profile, I should have it linked to my xda account). But I think that for a more stable ROM it must be rebuilt from zero using another HTC's PA ROM.

Ah I really need beta testers. Anyone can be, just tell me. I'll link to your post in first post and you'll edit your post adding what does not work :) many thanks

1.When my phone connected to computer, it was nothing on status bar, just like the pic below.


2.It seems common problem in CM9 ROM, it cannot connected to WPA2.

Thanks, updated "Troubles".

You can't activate USB mass storage, but ADB works. And if you want to access your files with an user interface, you can use QtABD.

I have no issues with WPA2, I have no idea what could be the problem... Can you get a log? ( QtADB does also that :) )

Thanks ehmad. I already added you as beta-tester.

Note that I've just compiled something new using GNex PA 1.5 as base. I'm trying it right now, I'll upload it tomorrow if it boots.

EDIT : Absolutely unusable. Revert to previous release.

Why its unusable? Thanks for accepted me as a tester. I'll do my best. ;)

Ok here it is my first look at this rom:

Wiped all the cache/data+dalvik then i proceed to flash the rom, once it was done i've flash the Gaps zip. First boot took like 2 minutes (i guess it would be more but fine) Once got in the launcher, i've followed the wizard. Nice smoothness, nice response.

The only issue that I found is i got the same problem that i had when i flashed the zeubea's CM9 to my legend, it was that the home/search/back and menu buttons didn't light up. What will be causing this because it doesn't happend when flashed another rom, just when using ICS? :confused: And how can i got the masstorage option appear on the status bar?

I've flashed again and everthing seems to be ok, if any issue arise (despite my un-lighted menu -.- ) i'll let you know, by now everthing is Ok.
