Andromadus Mimicry ROM – version 1.5.0 (September 4, 2012)

...Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the ROM

= Mimicry for Jelly Bean?!? =

* * Be sure to read this post here * *

= What is this? =

Based off CyanogenMod 9 and forked from thee mighty Andromadus main repo.

– Daily merges of new CM9 patches & additions.

– Combines the fast and stable base of Andromadus/CM9 with new, unique features!

– Goal is to take advantage of our devices' hardware in a time where new ROMs are focused more on next gen devices – offer unique features to the Vision.

– AROMA Installer provides the user with choice on installation, saving preferences for future versions.​

= Newest Changes! =

Version 1.5.0 – September 4, 2012 [link]

– Merged in new CM9.1 changes

– Requested Feature! Added remove all recent apps. Longpress app or press Trackball in Recent Apps overlay

– New Feature! Added adjustable StatusBar background color and transparency

– New Feature! Added colorize to Notification Shortcuts -- Change both the stock and default app icon colors on the fly! Toggling Notification Shortcuts resets the color

– Completely re-coded Notification Shortcuts -- faster, less unnecessary redraws

– Fixed Notification Shortcut alignment and spacing. Now draws and scales properly depending on available width. (Toggled on by default)

– Fixed exception in Notification Shortcuts causing Settings to crash on blank shortcut redraw

– Switched notification shortcut background pressed drawable to use notification_item's - will work with colorization to provide better theme consistency

– Modified default StatusBar color to act as an inactive default to allow themes to take priority

– When setting the date to appear in the StatusBar, it now maintains the same font size as the clock

– Applied hwc prop change to [mostly] fix corrupted text issue

– Updated translations for existing languages and added new languages for: Romanian, Czech, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Slovak, Serbian, Turkish & Chinese traditional!

– A big thanks to new translators: bogdan5844, CebeLL, daanas, dakf, Filip.Hunka, GizMoQC, hezeri, Jinxtedium, karalaine, Krusty, magno23, matteoa91, michuo, Petrs, shared_ptr, skui, TBest, TheGed129, tomaja & Whippler
