[Epic 4G Android Development] AnDrOpErZ:
SimplyWind0ws Jolly Rancher v0.2a

Hey guys Micheal Smith here and i proudly present you my newest creation,

SimplyWindows Jolly Rancher v0.2a!

[*]Introduction

This rom uses a special launcher called Jolly Rancher Launcher that was created by me from previous launcher's source.

The launcher was titled LauncherLi, Which was a launcher uploaded to Google Play with a low number of views and downloads.

The launcher is based off of Microsoft's Zune Player with the stunning 4.04 Ice Cream Sandwich OS Ported to the Epic 4g

by the one and only Cyanogenmod Team. Some people call it a build i call it NEW.! Something different. While people are

dying to get there hands on MIUI,CM9,Darky ROM, Peoples ROM and other magnificent creations, I wanted to create something

different also. I wanted android to have a new feel instead of the normal 5-7 homescreens. I knew that everyone has different

taste but i also took into consideration of the user's in the android community who love Microsoft Products such as WP7 and

Zune Player. I took it upon myself to create a rom for those Microsft/Android Combination Lovers. With an awesome performance

experience. Think of it as Zune UI running on a CM9 ICS Based Rom. Even the name of it sounds awesome right.? Well it has been

done and the hard working nights officialy paid off. So please android community i ask that you support me and my SimplyWind0ws

Series Project, Because it only gets better and better from here. The better my scripting skills improve, The better the outcome,

Dont you agree.? Well lets get down to business..

[*]Resources Used To Make This Happen

I will generate a list of resources used to make this rom stable and to give me a stunning vision.

*CM9 Beta 2 ROM(Thanks Cyanogenmod Team)

*LauncherLi as source NOT APP(Thanks Lilse_238_N_D)

*Halo Boot Animation(Thanks Auntie Dot)

*ZPlayer(Thanks Odesanmi) Note:ZPlayer Name is changed to Media Center

*A BIG IMAGINATION

[*]Eplanations To Make It Clear To Users

I will let you know exactly what i did here. I am fully aware that according to XDA rules adding paid apps into a rom isnt allowed.

LauncherLi isnt a paid app unless you purchase the Unlocker. I Didnt even build off of the APP Physically. I am great at Xml Creation

and i analyzed the layout of the launcher and figured it out just like that. Sounds Impossible.? It really isnt, When you get used to doing

things they become a breeze. But there were alot of issues. I didnt get some of the exact layouts correct so i used xml files and images from

LauncherLi and covered some of the things i missed. I wrote my own UI Strings for the launcher, But it does have some of launcherLi's UI Strings,

Only Because i didnt wanna takeover the launcher as completely mine and repost it. I left some of LauncherLi UI scripts and Smali files to

give the dev his credit. The dev is actually a Chinese man and cannot speak very good english. So his version of the launcher was a lil confusing

because of his mixed grammar. Why not just use the launcher completely and give dev full credit.? Because this improves my scripting skills and

my ability to create not just launchers but roms also. It helps me gain uninformed knowledge for any future releases i may distribute to the

community.

[*]Overview of the launcher

This launcher can be quite confusing to use on first attempts but once you are used to it, It feels just like home.

It uses basic UI Format for that easy use. There are launcher options to change HUB Display names and widget colors,

Font Colors and more. You can even change themes. Well Its not recommended because from what i understand when changing

themes it uses the original dev's generated servers. To be honest i dont even think there are any themes available for

this rom yet. But i assure you once support and development improves we will implement our own Theme server.

NOTE: The roms does give you a few tips on first use to get you started. I didnt add any of the extra WP7 based apps

because of compatibility issues when replace stock apps that are used with celluar service. They will be added in newer

roms though.

[*]Installation Instructions

Flash this how you would flash any ROM(CM ROMS Preffered)

*Wipe Data

*Wipe Cache

*Wipe Dalvik Cache.

AND FLASH ZIP FROM SD CARD!

When first booted up READ ONSCREEN EXPLANATIONS THOROUGHLY.! The HUBs arent prepared upon first boot, You

have to go to Applications menu, Press and hold an app that matches hubs on homescreen, And press pin to(Choose

the hub that matches the app you chose) and then it will be accessible from the homescreen. You can also turn an

app into a button that can be used in make items menu.

This rom was created by ME, With no ones help except for the useful resources, Not even my fellow Team Members.

They are assigned to dev on the next releases of the SimplyWind0ws Series.

[*]Simple Bugs Nothing Major

When editing any homescreen settings or launcher settings press back instead of home. Home button does nothing in some

cases.

Whenever you return to the homescreen menu, A notification appears in a toast message and in the status bar. The toast

message states updates are only launched by the dev(ME) and the status bar message says Jolly Rancher Successfully Load!

With the SimplyWind0ws Guy's Head as a icon. This happens everytime you return to the homescreen unless you DO NOT CLEAR

THE NOTIFICATION. Then it wont popup. This also may occur when rotating homescreen. Yes this launcher does support

auto screen rotations.

Thats pretty much it. Like i said this is my first OFFICIAL Project and this is the start of my SimplyWind0ws Series so may

i ask that the XDA and Android community support me the whole way.

Warning: I built this off of CM9 Cricket rom which has crickets data settings, The rom was officially started for cricket users. But if you guys know how to Configure APN's Then there shouldn't be any problems.

BE NICE AND HIT THAT THANKS BUTTON PLEASE.!

ENJOY.!
