Hi Guys & Gals.
This ROM aims to be a lean mean ROM that works from minute ONE as a perfect assistant.
I have looked hither & tether throughout the net but couldn't find a ROM optimized for an architect's way of working. I had to spend a lot of my time & effort to study, search & get handy tools that I require for my day today work.
I am trying to put together a specialized ROM meant for architects so that they may start using their SGS as a ready to use tool for their daily work.
This is a ROM that may be used either by a practicing architect, an architectural student or any one who just likes this ROM.
A short-list of FREE apps I have been using/searched for and putting in :
- AndCAD
- Bubble
- Baycalc
- Beam design free
- Concrete Design
- Engineering Libraries
- Golden Ratio Calculator
- Just Plumbbob
- Realcalc
- Surveyor
- Smart Measure
- Smart Ruler
- Smart Protractor Lite
- Sketcher
- Ulysse Gizmos
- Wolfram Alpha
- Wood Beam Calculator
- Wood Joist Calculator
More to come.
This is still a work in progress. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
As I am busy in real life, I may take my own time developing this ROM.
But as I already am using most of this stuff, I may do this ROM really fast.
Actually means no time frame yet.
List of Paid apps for anyone interested :
- All-in-1-Calc
- Covertpad
- Concrete Estimator
- World Level
Other apps that I use :
- Copy Paste It
- Dialer @ Bar
- Super Manager
I sincererly welcome any & all suggestions because this is the first time I am embarking on such a endevour.

A suggestion,
Make an app-pack instead and put this in the app/theme section.

Thanks,
Actually I am trying to make it like wallpaper, toolbar, everything ready to use. I know there are a lot of architects who are not really tech-savvy. Believe me. Technology intrigues them.
And flashing modifying is beyond a normal professionals capabilities.
Nice one, if you find more apps, please post them I,m interested too
Updated free app list.
Added paid app list in post #2
This is a great Idea.
I'm studying Architecture and these apps are all great.
I'll flash this ROM when its ready, great work!
Fine one go on!
Hey guys
First of all - I feel like a plonker! I've posted a similar thread in the wrong place - if someone can close it - that'd be great. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177358)
So, I'm a drifter - always read threads on XDA but never registered - Awesome community.
Love the Honeysense HD ROM - It is AWESOME!
7.2.1 was brilliant - a pure class of a ROM, just upgraded to 7.3 - not fully tested it yet BUT feels smooth and fast.
Few niggles with it though:
Can I change lock screen back to the shiny ring lock? I kinda liked that. Gave the theme a nice contemporary feel. How can I do this?
Also, preferred the icons from the 7.2.1 ROM - how would I go about using those - or mixing and matching those I like?
When I add text based widgets to the home screen - they always show up in Bold and not their standard style. That's quite annoying as some text based widgets don't fit like they used to.
Last but not least, how can I change the apps | phone | customise bar at the bottom so it's like the one in 7.2.1?
Any advice on how to achieve the above, links etc will be great! I know - this is my first post, sorry to be a moaner!
Keep up the great work!
sounds like a lot of work... why not just stick to the previous version you was using?
just my pennies worth
Was thinking about doing that.
Just noticed HoneyUnity's out so might give that a try then decide.
is this going to work on the Inspire 4G?
In celebration of almost 1/2 a MILLION BOCA Downloads!

KERNEL
Some things that I contributed directly to this kernel were suggestions about voltages, tips on recovery, showed changed the bootclass path (to make it an ICS kernel. From original ics boot spilt thread, but modded to build from source, as ours doesn't split) some other small things, alot of random work(as it is based off BOCA kernel - we used to share sources) and I ported/patched the following: SIO, VR NOOP, INTERACTIVEX, SAVEDZEN, GREASEDLIGHTNING, DARKSIDE, ONDEMANDX, SCARY, SMARTASSV2, SUPERBAD. Maybe a bit more, but nothing else comes to mind, directly.
Therefore I feel that I have contributed enough to include this kernel in my release.
If you notice, I didnt "spiff" the recovery up to its usual vibrant self this time.
Maybe next time, if users liked it in BOCA RC1.
ROM
This creation was ported and built by me.
I did get various ideas and configurations from developers around the web. And shared oh-so-many ideas also.
PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE BOCA IN WHOLE OR PART. NOR RE-UPLOAD
TREBUCHET
This version of the launcher uses hardware accel.
In can also upload a version that uses cpu /software accel.
Let me know.
Feel free to distribute the link (when uploaded) Its cyanogens product, but VERY heavily modded by me. Others on different devices (if it'll install) may appreciate it. Just kindly give me credit.

NOTES
**FIRSTLY before posting, READ THE THREAD
**Replies requesting help, or reporting UNREPORTED bugs must include the following information:
Carrier
Country
Original device branding (sgh-t849, P1000L ect)
ROM you came from
BE HONEST in the steps you took to get here
If possible, include a link to patsebin, where you have uploaded your LOGCAT of the error
The more info the better
-IF YOU CAN NOT DO THESE SIMPLE THINGS, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM-
As a user, you are very important to me, as is my quality of work and enjoyment of such work.
But if you cant be bothered to offer up some very simple info, Then I can hardly be bothered to beg you for it, just to help you.
*The red boarder still persists, infequently
*THERE IS NO HARDWARE ACCEL!!
*NOT EVERYTHING WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a DEVELOPMENT site, not a polished product site. DONT COMPLAIN!! Be helpful instead!
*We (all sgt7 cm9 ports) use the wrong graphics driver and graphics resolution. (its all thats available) So some video may not react up to your standards.
*This is a WORK IN PROGRESS!!!!!
I am a ONE PERSON development team.
I do this all in my free time, for the pure joy of it. Dont kill my joy by being a "GIMMIE-GIMMIE" or a Complainer
I (and every single developer here) am nice enough to share our work with you, be gratefull.
Or build it yourself.
*Doing things like porting and building a source code (especially an unfinished VERY alpha one) IS VERY TIME CONSUMING.
Each new build takes two full days to compile. Ive learned how to wait.
Total time ive spent doing this, added up probely equals over 700,000 hours. Again, for the joy of it.
So be patient on updates, or mistakes. There is never, ever an ETA. Dont ask.
About the download link
Its 4shared ;(
My server went down last night.
After I complete repairs, All my work will be uploaded to it.
Hi diz, just to let you know the image at the top is not clickable, and can only be viewed when users are logged in. Also there is a version of the image with (CM9) added to it in the boca rc1 post, you might want to copy these to your hosting and link them from there.
Gonna give this rom a try NOW!! thanks again for all your hard work.

thanks for the headsup.
wierdly now it wont even show up while loged in.
but does when i go to edit post.
ill take a look at it.
Thanks again for the great artwork
hey diz, top work on releasing a new version of icedBOCA, looks like you put a lot of work into it
ive been kinda quiet for the last week (got a new computer from work which ive turned into a media centre and it was a pain to get the old clunker of a video card working in it)
i know what you meant in your other thread by the other one taking off the way it has, i was gonna try to manually add all their added stuff to your AOSEP version just to see how it went, but it wouldve taken forever just to get it to where they have, and keeping up with the updates would be hard (although i still want to do it just to learn more).
anyway, i thought id thank you yet again for your AOSEP idea and all behind it, even though i started fiddling before you had the idea, it pushed me to take it further.
with that, id thought id offer up one piece of information i learnt from another thread that fixes the red borders completely, on top of:
Code:
persist.sys.strictmode.visual=0
the other line that ive found that removes it completely is:
Code:
ro.build.type=user
so if the build type is set to user it seems to get rid of the red borders completely. hope this helps in some way and best of luck in the future.
just when i'm gonna download this ROM i found out that phone is broken, too bad >.<
gonna taste it when it fixed. great job diz!
Thank you mate! Like allways a great job!
Just experienced a small bug.
When rom installs I got allways a FC of a chineese aplication.
Thanks again, performance is very good.
Changing default keyboard and laguage to English in settings (Language & input) helped stop this for me. No need to freeze the launcher.

I´ve frozed the launcher with titanium backup and its fine.

ahh, the one with RIL thing
back then when i was on alpha 3 i used the method to solve the phone's FC but no good. Im on red rebel's now and its all working fine
If I pull the one from red rebel's , would it be as good as the phone.apk posted there or it's gonna be different?

im in talks with the mod about it.
a thread restructuring may be comming soon.
As per moderator request i have supply a link that goes directly to rom.
op has been updated to comply.
thank you for your work -
I`ve flashed it on clean safe gb from overcome with overcome kernel
battey drain is significantly better in your rom, although its unstable.
sometimes its 9 mah per minite )radio off, screen off
sometimes its 120.
Killing apps in backgroung helps though
I`m using battery monitor widget for monitoring
all my video players seem to work better than in cm9 build
the browser is very slow to render and load, cm9 is way better
but 3g is more than 1.5 times faster
other glithches
the mentioned red border, scrolling stutters sometimes, application names in all application screen sometimes are not displayed fully, its get choped and the rest is shown at the side of the screen.
Dizgustipated, Thank you so much, for making it easier to download your Rom. More grease to your elbows.
anyone up to the challenge in helping?
i got the 2.6.39 ICS kernel of Folio100 (originally by DerArtem) working on A7+
it boots but no touchscreen support.
i can attach a mouse and use apps so on, so basic IceCreamSandwich 4.0.3 seems in place.
kernel source is here: derArtem 2.6.39
ill update the thread, if any other developer can assist, and ill put my kernel changes online as well (i do not know github much yet)
I will still try and solve the touchscreen driver support, since i got it loading now but nothing moves.
but i got it working and the device would actually be great with full ICS support.
WOW!!! This is GREAT News!
Hope someone comes thru to help you out. Im sure you will have the touchscreen driver support fixed. - Awesome news! Wishing you the best in this project!
Hi Dexter,
It would be amazing to get my A7 running ICS - Have you had any luck with the touch screen drivers?
A quick question - I am currently running your 1.42 version - If I don't care about the camera / bluetooth functionality would you say your Cyanogen7RC1Mod is a better choice to run?
Thanks in advance - Keep up the great work

i am not 100% since it been some time now.
but if you like to move apps between internal and sdcard to free up internal storage, the cyanogenmod will help since it got support for it.
otherwise differences are more if apps prefer a 2.3 android than the old 2.2.
you got some audio tweaks as well.
it might actually be better although BT and cam is not working. Cam is anyways low/low quality not much to value here. BT would have been nice to enable.
Cool - Thanks for your quick response.
Off topic question but would moving my apps to the SD card increase performance?
I've noticed the touch can be a bit laggy at times but otherwise it's a great upgrade.
I'm not a developer but is there any way I can assist with the ICS work for this device? I'm good at research
Thanks again.

well not developer related, but if you can find similar devices (OEM branded product from compal) it could be we could locate updated versions.
the A7 was sold as OEM products in europe, although still using android 2.2.
maybe you got lucky and found something?
Hi Guys ,
I Have had my share of problems with the Note2 ,
Went a few roms (Tigra on a few versions) and since most of them were sluggish i recently updated to the Kitkat Asylum Rom.
I Have been dragging the following problem for a few months now and seeking the experts help or advice.
Galaxy Note 2 N7100 - Asylum rom + Stock kernel (that came with rom) or Devil kernel - Same exprience the same issue.
Once i connect the Bluetooth Earphone (Fully updated jawbone era) - i can output a call (sometimes two) - after which the Dialer dies and i cant recieve anymore calls - well - technically i can - but once i click ANSWER - the other side hears me , but i do not ear the other side - both on speaker , earphone or Bluetooth earpiece.
Before the Jawbone era i had plantronics - which gave me the same issues - thats why i changed it first.
It happend with most of the roms - maybe had LESS issues on TIGRA V4 as far as i remember - but all of the other roms - BAH.
Currently - Kitkat gives me the best exprience overall - but i cant mostly use my bluetooth...
Any suggestions ?
Thanks!!

Having read the 4.4 ROM threads, Bluetooth simply doesn't work properly. Some people have intermittent problems, others permanent problems.
I suggest you keep an eye on development waiting for a declared fix.
Good luck
