I've been Andro-geeking!

Hey guys n girls,

Just a few updates. Firstly I wanted to say sorry I haven't been posting...but that apology stands in front of the fact that I have been developing and working on the ROM any chance I can get.

The next reason for my delay is that I was unsure if to announce what is comming or just quietly slip a download link in and just not say anything hehe. However I thought I best tell everyone what I have been doing before people get annoyed. My delayed posts come cause I am still wondering if what I am considering releasing is going to cause any troubles or not *cough sopa* geeze I have a frog in my throat, excuse me:p

And well it was my mum's birthday on the weekend and seaming I wouldn't be near my PC for the day, I decided to start rendering my new boot/start up...2 1/2 freakin days later:eek: it finished rendering:rolleyes:...but the end result was 100% worth it:cool:

Ok I hate suspense and I hate diddle daddle and people not getting to the point so I best get to my point.

I have been in discussion with the kernel developer and got approval to put in my boot/splash screen....however with that I had noticed and was almost certain that there is a requirement for specific wifi calling modules to be loaded in the kernel. That means if I am going to decompile the kernel to put in a splash screen then I should probably go the whole hog and just fit the missing components. That being said I am not a kernel developer and I have no kernel dev experience what so ever. So......any kernel devs out there wana give me a hand? :) Anyone?

Maybe some visual stimulation might get someone on board?

Splash screen, And here it is. Finished....completed. But it was only made to complement the main event. See below:cool:

What are peoples thoughts on the splash screen design?

Then....of course a splash screen like that wouldn't be anything worth raving about if it wasn't supplemented with a decent boot animation right?

Ta-da!:D

Ok yeah good one James...it'd boring!

Well its boring cause it's static....however a full fanfair intro clip zooming in and spot lights flashing and the good ol theme tune playing certainly makes things uber cool.

Boot animation is completed, however I need to load it with the SGSII base to allow for boot sound (which will have scripting to allow you to toggle it ON/OFF as say a widget for widgetsoid/tasker or what ever you guys want...even emulator).

SGSII system UI has been fully customised. Think Samsung pull down toggles, AOKP style buttons and AOSP themed etc. I posted a sample animation, but since then have made several themes (not all of them complete yet though), Ice Cream Sandwich coloured 3D dancing Android:cool: (my fav at the moment);A Pixar cartoon Hand Gliding intro (yes don't ask....it looks cool though!); Bullet leaving the barrel of a gun; The DarkyCrew one you guys have already seen in the clip and a Mazda Rotary Turbo theme too!

That is all. They will be ready when they are ready. I have no ETA...but just know that I have been working day and night between my job/eating and sleeping to do all of this by my self. Let me know your thoughts on the visuals? Feel free to post requests also if there is something that you REALLY want and a few people are keen I will put it on my list.

PS: Thanks to Raymond for his donation too!

I will be recompiling and testing this tonight.
