[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nx Biotic:
Consider Donating to promote development

As some of you know, Catalyst3 release will be delayed. Cause of this is because of online services I have included in the Bionx Dashboard that I am currently using put me in the hole so, I have to wait to untill Internet Service is back online and the updating software service I provided is back online as well and to the point I can afford to bring it back on. Basically, instead of using a server, information like downloadable content and wallpapers are stored on a personal harddrive dedicated to the Bionx Rom and the Internet Provider I use for this was shut down. If you want to help get services back online, consider donating to promote development and get the Internet service back online. If not, I cannot accurately provide a release date now, but I will be using this delayed time to improve what I had ready to present and develop a 2nd option for this feature.

Anyways, latest scoop.

Tabbed Settings,

is almost done. I might consider adding this app to Google Play since it will work on stock Omap4 Moto 4.1 firmware. and this way I can easily keep on an eye on updates and use of the app.

In the Wireless Tab, Users are presented the usual wireless settings like managing wifi, bluetooth, data usage, and Carrier specific options. Also available, Users can easily view their service connectivity, roaming options and new advance user options like Field Test, APN preferences, Advance Carrier APN Settings, and Carrier Specific settings for GSM and CDMA users. Basically, users can now optimize their device according to the place they live and to what carrier. All the hidden features to wireless inside the Moto and Android framework will be available to my ability.

In the User Tab, Personal settings will be available as well as Google Settings/Intents (Google Now, G+, Hangouts, ect)

In the Device Tab, All your hardware settings will be available as well as security.

In the System Tab, System options will be availabe as always however Im debating if I want to integrate Bionx Options so their there exclusively to Catalyst users.

The Statusbar,

hasnt really seen anything new lately except for some graphical updates and xml work. The 4.2 Idea will come later as I need to rewrite alot of code to get that to work and is on a bottom agenda. One main difference users will notice is that the Data Monitor has moved from the Statusbar to inside the Expanded Statusbar beside the Date. So, its out of the way for users who dont like it while its still there for people who do like to see what their bandwidth is. Still have to adjust some layouts but still works either way. Working on making this statusbar alot smoother than previous builds as well and cut down on memory usage.

The Overall System,

has seen a complete upgrade from .8 to .16 and what does that mean? Basically updated the system to handle new kernel options as well as a slight android update. After all the modifications I make, i might as well lable the rom as 4.2 but leave the API level the same seeing how that would create Force Closes for framework services. Motorola really didnt change much in the framework when it came down to the framework so, Thats where I came in. The system has been fully modified and optimized for Root (Which now runs on Koush's super user), debloated, de-blured, de-motofied and completly toar down to the point it almost looked and felt like an AOSP rom. With the injection of new Xperia Z framework libs and services, the audio quality increased tremendously and the performance of the Raral Launcher increased. The system theme was also modified to replicate a Xperia Framework, so the feel of the rom feels fresh on the finger tips. With the new Xperia Lib files integrated, this also greatly increased the performance and features of the Walkman Player and Sony Car Dock app. With the new Features of the Bionx Dashboard 3.4, a multitude of system root files had to be updated to handle the new settings. For instance, Init.d Toggle. Users can set what toggles they want to boot on startup. This will garuntee a perfect user optimized startup. These toggles only work for the Init.d Scripts that were included in the rom, so if you flash new ones...nothing will happen. The lockscreen was rebuilt to be AOSP styled. I wanted something simple and more original for this build. MMS is working in this build because I left the stock Texting app in the rom and brought to it SMS Pop up (Basically took the Source of SMS POP Up and integrated in the moto texting app) While Dtrail has created an awesome experience for Bionx users with the new Stock Kexec Kernel for Catalyst, there are a multitude of new CPU and GPU options for users but must proceed with precaution as you could cause boot loops, freezes and over heats. A document will be created for over clocking in the dashbaord. A future settings will be available for the kernel in the Bionx Dashboard as well. Users will download Catalyst3 as stock but have the ability to flash their own flavor according to device. (Stock Kernel, Stock to Kexec CDMA/GSM or JBX Kernel)

Basic over view of the rom. If you enjoy using the Bionx Dashboard, the experience has greatly increased as well as your overall Bionx rom experience.
