The graphical interface is structured for the performance,it’s useful and fluid. There are no more app installed by default, we found the original Google app and some app of a particular interest.

In the last version that i call "hybrid" more parts are been rewritten for setting up a new and innovative base.

In this ROM you can find pieces from U8160 port, pieces from DroniX 0.4 and new pieces compiled from source code.

Let’s have a look at the new characteristics of this version:

Optimized Launcher for a better fluidity.

New DroniX Extended Menu:

It’s one of the new things introduced in this ROM. It’s been developed with the purpose of provide new important functions.

One of most important function it the "Theme Switcher" or the new "Power Management".

Here’re some screens:

Power Management

This is one of the most important news.

It permits the managing of the freqs according to the screen state.

Configuration is very simple, and it allows you to set freqs and governor to active when display is on and when the display is off. You can also enable "Data Feature" which permits to disable data when display is off, and enable it again when display is on.

Kernel USB HOST

Simply choose from the menu in Settings---> DroniX then reboot the device.

For using the kernel usb host you have to build a powered cable otherwise the device will not be recognized.

This is the schema of the cable:

There is the possibility of interconnection with USB Storage, which is hdd, keyboard,mouse, ethernet usb adapters,Universal USB converters an example is the arduino support.

This is a video that explain the use of the functionality USB-HOST:

Installation Tutorial:

DroniX, for optimizing free space for applications, use /cust partition (present in lots of other ROMs).

If in the past you have installed a stock ROM without /cust partition phone will probably stuck on an infinite loop during the bootanimation.

For a correct installation you should flash before a stock WIND rom:

LINK

than re-flash the modded recovery and go on with the standard installation (wipe and flash)

For the installation of the DroniX we use any recovery and make the wipe.

I recommend the ClockWorkMod: LINK

As you may have noticed some feature and utility in low level are added.GNU/Linux Users are happy for this decision.

A particular utility is the SSH client used for the connection tunnels to a remote Server,

In particolare, c'e' SSH client che puo' essere utile per creare dei tunnel di connessione verso server Remoti, some people understands what I'm saying :-)

SHELL

The Dronix Shell is complitly different from the other ROM. Is very close to the standard of the Linux systems. The use is simple, you just enter with:

adb shell

or enabling ssh from DEM,abilitando ssh da DEM and once inside, type:

bash

in this way we have a standard shell with all path arranged just like a normal Linux system.

Here a screenShoot:

DroniX Web Manager:

The Web Manager setup is very simple:

- Connect your ideos to your wifi network.

- Go to Settings-->DroniX and tick ON in the “Web Server” option.

- Write the IP address that shows you the DEM.

Warning: Web Manager won’t work with Internet Explorer, but it has no problems with any other Web Browser.

Another very important option is the underclock, that allows you to save battery.

If you want set-up advanced settings of the freqs i suggest you to install SetCPU utility or something similar.

In case of problem with this ROM you can use the forum for bug reporting, or, if you want to help with the developing you can connect to the IRC chat (you’ll probably find only italian people):
