Greetings my fellow XDA ninjas! Well, I've been skulking around here long enough and thought I'd share my ROM with you guys. This is my personal ROM and I absolutely LOVE it and I hope you will too.
I would like to explain the "sort of" comment in the title. I've pretty much focused on the Rhodium portion of the ROM and neglected the titanium. This is for those who like the Rhodium side. I will eventually get the titanium finished, but I would like some feedback first.
So, let's get to the thanks!
Thanks to:
Da_G for the wonderful kitchen
Captain Throwback for the Rhodium help
m.carroll for the theme(s), yes there's more than 1 piece floating in there
Fredz for the retractable sliding manila bar & audio enhancement
netdrg for the manila TV player
jmckeejr for your contribution to the manila TV player
xboxmod for the Rhodium port
...anyone else I forgot... if you see something that's yours, let me know and I will add you to the list.
Now, as you can see, all I did was throw some random sh1t together. I take credit for the concept only. So by now I'm sure your wondering what this ROM has. Well let's see....
23016 XIP/SYS
Rhodium 2.037
Modified Sprint clock
Fredz retractable manila slide bar (love it)
Netdrg manila TV player
Rhodium enhancements including Album 3
...much much more
Finally, 'what's the catch?' you might say. Well, there is a bug. See, the retractable bar won't allow me to use my cooked in manila theme . So, you have to apply the beautiful Aprilia wallpaper yourself. Just go to the "settings" tab on the manila bar and change the wallpaper to the default wallpaper. Once that's done, change it again. The wallpaper is in the My Documents folder. Now, one other small bug I see is that the retractable bar sometimes has you "push" your selection twice. Fredz is working on these issues but I love the bar so I put up with them.
Hope you like this ROM guys. Cooking for the Raph is a lot different than my Hermes. God bless you all.

can't wait to try this.
Looking nice, waiting for another spicy release.
This is a great week for TP community.
I look forward to flashing this. Applying the background change is easy enough to do so that's not a problem.
I'm looking forward to trying out the retracting slider as I just read about it yesterday for the first time.
working for me...!!!
I had no need to reapply the theme. It works very well for me.
Only think I notice is that is heavy on memory consumption. After reboot is already at 60%

Yeah, I see that. Looks like a memory leak somewhere. I'm leaving for Jacksonville in the morning so I will look at it tomorrow at the hotel. Remember, this is a beta, so I have to start somewhere. Thanks to you all for your help. Don't judge too harshly...
Heyy old friend!! didn't know you were around here also... Congrats on your first release!

[ROM] Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM) - v6.01 - created by slade87
I didn’t have any problems with this ROM, slade87 tried to take out the Sony’s stuff and it works.
The camera app it’s different from the other ones (I couldn’t figure it out but I think it’s the default android app?)
You could say bye bye to the album of SE, cause there is an app called Gallery 3D, it’s pretty good and simple.
I’ll be honest, I never like ADW, I’m more a Launcher Pro guy, but this theme, it’s smooth and with the option to “separate” the apps from each other’s it’s great.
The Flash player doesn’t work on the browser (damn you SE) but it’s installed so you can open swf files. (I didn’t try)
Bugs I found:
- Seems like, the keyboard light turns on with the keyboard closed :S (I think it’s fixable thanks to D4rKn3sSyS)
- The sms doesn’t have the option to save costs to.
- It’s possible to access the power options (by pressing the power button) even the phone it’s lock.
[ROM] Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 based on MiniCM for MiniPro (v15.0) - created by slade87
What a disappointment… I was expecting much more from this ROM
The best:
The profiles in the power options, that my friend it’s a damn good idea!
The worst/bugs:
The wifi was crazy, it was almost impossible to download via market the Quadrant Standard Edition to benchmark this ROM.
The camera doesn’t support full resolution (I think slade it’s working on that)
The screen goes off when it feels like, I mean even if you are navigating throw the menu, the screen goes off.
When someone calls you, the option to answer or not it’s in front of the name.
The sms doesn’t have the option to save costs to
It’s possible to access the power options (by pressing the power button) even the phone it’s lock.
[ROM]CyaNo (R)Evolution v1.3 & CyaNoComb v1.2 - created by slade87
This is a cleaner version of Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM) - v6.01.
The bugs are the same except:
It’s possible to access the power options (by pressing the power button) even the phone it’s lock.
[ROM] SonyBread 4.0 Final - created by paul-xxx
I couldn’t run this ROM because it loop in the gingerbread boot animation
[ROM 16-07-2011] Andread 2.2.9 Pro v7f - created by pumakkiotto
Sorry but I couldn’t review totally this ROM because of the updates :S My phone stuck at SE logo every time I tried to update with the “fix c.1.0 ok.zip” file.
The phone reboot one time while I was using the voice app, don’t know I why but isn’t important.
The camera app it’s very good, lots of options I think it’s the vignette app (correct me if I’m wrong)
The launcher it’s simple and cool, but doesn’t support horizontal mode.
This is a very lightly and fast ROM, very good work
Bugs I found:
- The keyboard layout (I didn’t test the slade87 method, but I think it works )
- The launcher doesn’t save the order of apps.
- The sms doesn’t have the option to save costs
[ROM] CyaNoComb v1.3 - created by D4rKn3sSyS
I couldn’t test this ROM at all because the setup wizard always stops after I change the clock settings and then I don’t have a launcher :S
I tried to install the ROM twice.
This is the cost saving I'm talking about, I take this screen shot from the SONY's ROM
s
Reserved! =)
bugs find in latest version of roms
hi im running slade´s minicm 5.0 when i install 6.0 or 6.01 my app jbed java emulator dont work anymore. but it does en 5.0, i try Paul sonybread too and all works fine exept my java emulator. its say {no sd card present or maybe sd card is busy please chek it} the emulator installs fine but midlets dont run just says that and close.same fot froyocomb 1.6 and minicm 7, maybe a wrong lib file or line on build.prop? can somebody give me a hand or a hint? i really use this app. but want to jump to 6.01 or sonybread. thanks in advance.
First of all i am not a developer.
But i think it is a bad idea. Developers dont compete. Ui is what you make it too and everyone has different taste..

i absolutely agree with that.
A batery test alone would be nice. I've seen differences on up to 300 % from slades android 2.3 v 15 to his 2.2 cyan revolution alone. Other than that i think a comparison of features set up nice would help people, a test alone is kinda silly.

his right.
and i dont think the dev want to enter this contest and compete with each other.basically all the rom are same.
What would be usefull is some kind of comparison. So new users can make a choice easier.
But don't you see, developers will not be submitting their roms to compete. That's not the point in xda.

So with so many roms out there, I thought maybe it's a good idea to make a test to all of them.
I'm gonna give them a score from 0 to 10 to:
- Bugs
- Users vote
- Interface
- Graphics
- CPU
- Battery
- Apps that are already installed
- Others stuff
I think it's fare enough to give a preparation time to all developers, thus I'm gonna review all the ROM that has been submitted to me, by the developer of that ROM,in a PM before 23:59:59 (UTC+1) 22nd July.
After that I'm gona download all the last versions of the ROMs submitted unitl that day.
I hope the developers like the ideia =)

the idea is not sooo bad
maybe you could see that CM is not forever the best rom in xda
it is sad that all roms are basicly a CM6 ROM
CM is good but a little bit new would be interessting
It's not a competition! It's like a comparable chart for new users, don't get me wrong please!

I suggest changing the thread title, it suggests a competition. As of right now, you have developers working together using fixes,optimizations from each other to make all the roms better and more stable, i see no reason to change that. Even just rating them still creates a competition in rankings, let alone the fact that your experience with a rom could be far different than what another user will have. This is evident in the rom threads themselves as some users experience bugs and others don't.
I think it's best to leave it as it is, comment on your experiences with the roms, rank them as you wish, just make sure that everyone knows its just your opinion and not a contest or competition.
Why don't you just review the ROM's if you want to review them? I don't see the need to set a certain time and date, why should the developers work to your timescale?

yeah but what could you change? You cant add new features, only change the stock Apps and look. Thats it!
Btw a rom with only new features but no "custom" stuff would be nice, so new "devs" have a nice blank rom to start customizing it! =)
they all suck.
100% done.

Lol epic
The roms that i'm going to review are on the first topic, please be free to tell me if I forgot someone or something
10 out of 10 for enthusiasm but I think you should make clear from the start its your opinion if you really want to go ahead and do it.
When I first bought my phone I knew zero.
I don't know much now but everything I've learned and decided to do on this phone I've done through reading, and through trial & error.
My opinion is that beginners should learn for themselves, by trying for themselves...not being told
But thats my opinion.
Stock Contacts and Phone Themed Transparent. Im not a big fan of transparent apps, but I know some people are. This can also be a base for other themes.
Dialer background before placing a call can be themed as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215898
The only other image I really changed was the blue button when speaker is on, because I had to.
In call dial background, I think transparency has to be set using .xml, I tried replacing with transparent image and just turned black. Could possibly be done later, will have to do some digging. You can change the image to whatever you wish by following link above. I personally don't think a transparent incall background would be real cool, it would probably confuse me a bit while im looking for my key to press.
theres a black bar in scolling contacts list, pretty sure this in colors.xml, can change if needed.
Anyways ,there it is, enjoy. tested on 160 & 210dpi
As usual keys are off the screen in high res. ( may be able to do .xml edits to control this a bit. But a have one more theme planned first.

Hello everybody, well my english is not that good
I just wanna bring something to the community this is not made by me I was inspired from this theme MattedBlues.
So after I saw the MattedBlues theme for samsung i feel in love with it so i wanted to port the theme to Dell Streak so I begin to search for MattedBlues themes and I found a few.
So I begin the porting, had some problems with some PNG's so I take some from nickshertzer and Tenorntex. The theme is created from DSC Firmware I haven't tested with other gingerbread rom's.

Hi there,
Here's a theme that is not exactly a theme: the originals/defaults apks are modified (framework-res, DeskClock, Contacts, Dialer, TeleService, SystemUI, Settings, Mms, Keyguard).
I'm perhaps oldschool, but I don't like flat design and hate android's green. You will find a dominant of dark blue not very saturated and copper
This can be flashed ONLY on the last CM11 version (12.5) from MrSteve555. And note that ONLY french, portuguese and english are available (wiped other languages).

Screenshots: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32890756/Screenshots.zip
If you want to port it for an other rom, or make a true theme, feel free ! Well, if you can put my nickname as contributor I'll like it
Cheers
Here are some icons to use as launcher's folders. Photoshop frame included so you can create others.

Thanks ! Good to know at least one guy like it! You can't port it to your rom ?
I will probably switch to a 5.1.1 rom in the next weeks and so will make a port
JB 4.3
I think I am not good enough to do that , lol. I'm on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-binomical-v1-1-final-t3111555
I love the Sony interface, that of cyanogen is so minimalist
You think it could work on 4.3 ? ??(not really sur)
But if i change for a 4.4.4 rom, be sur, i will choose Mr steve work, just to have a look on your great job :good:

Also don't like at all cm11 design.
Everything is possible actually, but it needs some hours of work: decompiling your apps and mines, searching for what to modify, detecting differences, etc.
It does not require a lot of skills, more a question of patience. Perhaps a themer can do that, but it seems that we don't have a lot of them on XSP ...
I do not master everything you scored , but thank you for your answer and keep up the good work.
