I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but i can't really find any information on it, so i hope someone can help me.
Zeus Mod is a feature in Synergy ROMs, which enables you to click on the carrier name in the notification dropdown menu, which then shows the extended quick options, and long pressing on the carrier name shows/hides the "recent apps" section.
1. Is this correct? Or is there more to this feature than what i've listed?
2. Is this only available for Synergy ROMs (or other ROMs where it is specifically made for) ?
2.1. (If the answer to number 2 is "no"), Could i get Zeus Mod on my stock HTC ROM (ofc got root, S-OFF etc) ?
- Moon
Can't anyone help me?
What device are you using?
Oh, i totally forgot that i wasn't on my own devices forum here on XDA, so didn't bother to add that.
My device is a HTC EVO 3D GSM.
I saw your post about Zeus Mod on GSM devices, but it's only usable on deoxed roms, and my stock rom is odex :/

Hello all!
I'm new to this and I have a few questions.
I have been reading around a little bit but it doesn't help much when you have so many codenames like Eclair, donut, vanilla and now CyanogenMod-5 that I got interested.
I have a HTC Hero, I would wait for HTC update to have Android 2.1 but the update got delayed to June. I don't want to wait 2 months for it and that's how I decided to try flashing it.
1) What are my ROM options to flash it? Is it all of them compatible or just a few ? Like, only Hero-compatible ROMs or ROMs compatible to devices that support Android ?
2) Basically I want Android 2.1 (Eclair, right?) but don't want to lose the HTC UI. Is that possible ? (the look, the widgets, etc..)
3) On the other hand, not only I don't want to lose HTC's UI as I'd like more of it. HTC Desire for example has more and new widgets that Hero doesn't have. Is there a community ROM that contains those ? Do I need a special ROM for that ?
4) Does all the ROMs contains the latest dev kernel versions ? the latest android dev version that is.
5) Does it have an auto update to update the ROM ?
6) What's the difference between Vanilla and Donut ? I see many talking about Vanilla, but shoulnd't I want the Donut instead ? ( sounded funny, I know )
Thank you in advance !
Looking forward to socialize in this forum.

1. Only HTC Hero rom's should be flashed (if you're not on Sprint Hero then you're GSM so look for GSM rom's = most) - the wiki has a page dedicated to which rom's are available.
2. HTC theme is called rosie, so look for a rosie enabled rom
3. Some extra widgets come with them - check with each release (you can find them all in the development section)
4. No, most are based upon leaked kernals which have been hacked together to work, they work well enough but as soon as the official 2.1 kernal is available for the hero it will be added in to the rom's
5. Some have OTA updates (e.g. VillainROM)
6. Vanilla just means without the HTC Sense UI (Rosie) so you don't want a vanilla rom. Donut is v1.5 (or maybe 1.6?) of android i believe.
And welcome to the community
Check out my guides for all your needs XD

Thank you! that helped tons!
One more question, mine is not Sprint Hero, just Hero
So it's certain that this is a GSM device ?
How can I tell if it's GSM or CDMA ?
gsm means u can use any sim card
cdma means u cant
Awesome. So mine must be GSM.
Now, what is Radio ROM ?
What is Radio ? Do I have to flash that as well ?
EDIT: I think I get it. It can improve the signal, yes ?
But is it safe to flash this? what are my restrictions?
Looks much more dangerous than flashing a custom ROM
Ok, much more complicated than I thought!
I need to downgrade my kernel first,
didn't find any up to date tutorials on that
only then I need to root and finally flash it
I installed this " ROM Manager " where you have some easy options:
Install ROM from SD card, Download Rom, Check for ROM Updates
just with a click (tap)
That one is easier, but does it work ? How come noone mentions this ROM Manager ?
That are many ROMs to choose..
I take it VillainROM 5.4 is the most popular/older ?
As long as it has Android 2.1 plus the latest Sense UI (not vanilla) then the number of options get trimmed a bit (or so I hope)

Its not too difficult, follow BTDAG's guide in my signature, its bang on. Install custom recovery, flash ROM.
No you do not need to downgrade your kernal. When you flash the ROM it will sort that out for you.
As for using 2.1 ROMs, I haven't taken the plunge yet, I'm using MCR3.2 which is a tweaked fast and stable 1.5 ROM.
You're right, btdag's guide did it for me. Very very useful.
Since I didn't have to worry about kernel, it wasn't thaaat hard.
I already installed VillainRom 5.4 and it's great !
Thanks for answering my questions !
Hey all.
I recently bought a Galaxy S2 and am in search for a custom ROM (or even a good App) that will allow me as much UI customization as possible..
For instance I want to be able to control which icons to hide on the status bar, which buttons (and in which order) appear in notification tray, how long the "long press" should be.. and other little tweaks like that.
Most of the stuff I'm looking for were part of the Cyanogen Mod 7 i used to have on my Nexus One. But I was unable to flash it on my Galaxy.
Suggestions?
GB roms something like JKay mods in the Themes section .
jje
Try cm9 good for custumization,and u can get tht nova,go,tfs,zeam etc for changing ui.....cheerz an happy flashing an do make a bckup of efs folder b4 flashing ,for more info read the guide

CM9 discussion thread in General section.

Sorry, as I can't yet post into the dev forum, I'll have to ask here:
Can you run the Criskelo V10 rom but using the standard ICS blue theme for status bars etc.
Next question:
It seems you have to use a mod called simplistic framework. I'm new to the custom rom scene, and can usually sorta figure stuff out, but what is this app? I can see it's bundled as part of Criskelo's rom, but how do you use it?
Thanks in advance, sorry for being a newbie
Hi i really like the official JellyBean status bar with that flashing light as we touch it at the bottom and was thinking is there any way to get it on our Desire X ! Thanx

the answer to it is ... CM10.1!
That my friend is something called "stock android layout", HTC modifies the official Google layout and changes it to something called "Sense Ui", so there are not much ways to accomplish this, the only way I know is you either need cyanogen mod, 10/10.1, aokp/aosp, or any ROM which has the stock Google layout.
From my findings I'd suggest you wait for CyanogenMod 10.1, its on a good start.

Yep that's probably the best advice. Changes to the status bar are at a reasonably low level on the phone, so a new launcher etc won't change it at all. You need a rooted device and a custom ROM to achieve it. CyanogenMod 10.1 would be an ideal one as it is pretty much stock 4.2.2 and has the features you want! Obviously with the DX there isn't many AOKP roms at present but work is underway!
If you want to keep up with updates to Android and stay completely stock a Nexus device is the way to go!
Thanx Guys..
I will now wait for CM 10.1 ... Hope it cums asap
Cant wait..
