Rom Features

This is a completely deodexed rom, based on the 3.2 wifi system image. However just because Google and Motorola haven't released 3.2 for the verizon xoom that doesn't mean we don't support it! Thats right. We support 3g devices on 3.2 before Google have even released it.

• Complete localisation support. This means that we have complete support for european devices and their languages.

Release Notes

2.1.0 Release Notes
Here we are, release 2.1 "Hammerhead".

Thanks to the hard work of lowtraxx, we have been able to fix all of the layout issues with regards to the broken framework-res that we had to use in the last rom.
Lowtraxx has also fixed up all of the european 3g device files and languages, so the signal bar should work fine on your euro 3g device now.

I have also resolved the issues with the Google app updates. However for this fix, you need to wipe your device before you install the rom.

Making a come back in this release is the native screenshot feature. To enable this, go into Settings > Display and then enable "Screenshot". To take a screenshot, hold down the recent applications key to take a screenshot.

Tips

Turning the charging light off

Using root explorer, or other file manager that gives you enough control, move the "enableChargingLight" file in /data/tiamat_controls into the directory /data/tiamat_controls/not_in_use​

Automatically installing applications when you flash the rom:

In the zip file, under the directory "data" there is a directory called "tiamat_first_boot_install". You can place all of your apk files that you want installed when you first boot in there. This is useful for applications such as Thumb Keyboard and Titanium Backup​

For those who prefer the stock battery icon and stock UA-string, be sure to check out uncon's modified framework.

 

[LiL JRG]

Awesome! Looking forward to it, good job guys

 

[YouthD]

Can't wait to see it!

 

[musashiken]

Cool!

I only hope they fixed the bug where there are 2 battery percentages showing in the quick settings menu. If not, I'll have to go back to stock battery images.

[Gordon1M]

I see that the 2.1 ROM is showing support for OpenVPN. Is this any different to the support provided in the 2.0.1 ROM?

I am using 2.0.1 and have never found out how to use OpenVPN with it. Can anyone offer advice on this? In Windows implemenattion of OpenVPN, there is a conf file that needs to be edited to suit local requirements. Although I have found the OpenVPN app in 2.0.1, I don't see any sign of a conf file.

Thank you
Gordon
