[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Thanks for all the comments guys, glad to hear people are enjoying the Rom.

I will be starting all the smali edits later today and then spending the next few days working on them getting APM, Quicksettings and battery percentage sorted. As I haven't done this before I really have no idea how long it will take me as I will need to really test it well to ensure that I don't break something somewhere else, so next update will be when it will be but I'm hoping just after the weekend but no promises.

As for the lockscreen, I have 3 thoughts on that.

1- leave it as it is. After all if it ain't broke why fix it.

2- See if I can modify the light lockscreen so that the weather that shows in the morning can be enabled all the time. However I don't even know if that is possible, and if it is it could well break things like messages showing up.

3- implement the full lockscreen. This would have the biggest impact is it means changes to not just the lockscreen but several other parts of the Rom, and for that reason I'm not really keen on this idea.

The thing that will ultimately decide features that do or do not get added to the Rom will come down to a few things,

1- does it fit the premise of this Rom. The reason for this Rom is to offer a lightweight Rom that runs smooth and fluid even after continued use. There are a number of lite roms out there already for our device's that have been modded to include all the eyecandy such as full weather, cubic transitions etc, and as a rule of thumb the more that is added the more slowdown that starts to appear over extended use. (I'm not saying that's the case with every Rom, just a generalization across the board.)

2- Will it introduce any bugs. Will all hate bugs, and although some can be hidden or worked around they are still there and as a result have an impact, so I aim to make this as bug free as is humanly possible and will flatout refuse point blank to implement anything that introduces any kind of bug.

3- Will it affect performance. As I stated before, the point of having a light weight Rom like this is to keep it smooth and fluid no matter how heavy a user you may be, after all we have full sense roms out they and people seem to be of an opinion that after they have been using them for a while they begin to experience slow downs of menu transitions, pulling up messages etc. I hope that this Rom will allow people to avoid that kind situation, so anything that will affect that will not be included.

However all that said, I do like to hear your suggestions and thoughts, and everything that people request is given serious and long consideration with nothing dismissed out of hand, (As I haven't been able to try and test things yet where I have just been working on the existing bugs everything that has been suggested/ requested so far is still open to consideration.) So please continue to let me know what you think, as even id or doesn't become part of the base Rom, you may find it appears as an optional add-on.

I apologise for the wall of text but just wanted to let you all know what happens when you make a suggestion and why it may or may not appear, after all nothing worse than not being told anything and feeling like your suggestions are just being ignored.
