[TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Andy "CrossGate" Yan proudly presents ---
The Cyanogenized NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework!

EDIT: I'm at school these days and will be on holiday shortly, then I guess when I have time I'll mod the 2.3.4 framework and upload it somewhere, so stay tuned if you are NOT a hybrid 2.3.4/2.3.7 user like me! (you want USB don't you?)

Have been on N900 NITDroid for quite a while but heck, since May 2011 there hadn't been any more stable releases of NITDroid HOWEVER HARD WE BEGGED... AND N12 is AOSP Android 2.3.4, not CyanogenMod 7 which (I've been using on my Milestone (sold) and Epic 4G) is highly customizable with toggles, themes and more. So far I've been in Android for 2 years and learnt basic modding skills, and to make things at least LOOK better than e-yes had done, I modified some of the N12 system apps with resources from the popular default theme "Cyanbread" from CyanogenMod 7 to (sort of) bring the theme function to our finest N900... Hope you all like it. Check attached screenshots for effects (and my proud AnTuTu and Quadrant benchmark scores)!
I'm still somewhat rookie on Android development, so please stay cool if you feel uncomfortable with my first "systematical" modding!

I SAY IT AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A NEW VERSION OF NITDROID, JUST AN INTERFACE MOD. This DOES NOT ENABLE voice call, camera zoom/focus or any non-implemented functions on e-yes's original NITDroid N12. Battery drain is also the same.
=================================

Disclaimer:
Okay I'm a Chinese senior high school student with little Android dev skill so I'm not sure about the consequences of the mod... Mod at your own risk and good luck!

Requirements:
N900 with NITDroid N12 (2.3.4) installed - this mod is MOSTLY INCOMPATIBLE with N11 (2.3.3), N12_update (2.3.7) and N14 (4.0.3)!!!
(EXCEPTION: Launcher2-2D/GoogleQuickSearchBox should work on any Android phone with version between 2.3.3 and 2.3.7.)

Modification kit includes:
Browser, Calendar, DownloadProviderUI, MMS (Cyan icon only)
CalendarProvider (Various tweaks under the hood)
Camera, CarHome, Contacts, DeskClock, Gallery, GenieWidget, GoogleQuickSearchBox, Launcher2-2D (The AOSP Launcher), Music, Settings (Cyan interface mods)
framework-res.apk, SystemUI (Status bar, overall system tone and overscroll glow mod)
Wallpaper (Background from Nexus S live wallpaper, cyan-colored)

Note:
Cyan-toned signal indicator for 3G/HSDPA/WIFI are modified: even if you don't use Google sync, the indicators will still appear in cyan color (originally white if sync is off). Also, 3G is replaced by HSDPA and HSDPA is replaced by 4G.
Not sure whether MMS is working normally or not 'cuz I've no SIM card - someone test it out please!

Known bugs:
SystemUI mod causes USB mass storage crash (because current uploaded version is a SystemUI.apk modded from 2.3.7, not 2.3.4), I will mod and upload the 2.3.4 apk upon request.

Instructions:
Do a backup of the aforementioned apks and store them somewhere.
Download the rar file here and extract.
Copy all apks in "system-app" folder to /home/system/app and apk in "system-framework" folder to /home/system/framework (use whatever method of file management you like - WinSCP suggested).
Put the wallpaper anywhere under /home/user/MyDocs for later use with Android.
Reboot to Android and VOILA!

Thanks for your attention! Just doing this to promote NITDroid a further bit, but if you like this work, I'd love some clicks on that "THANKS" button! Report any further discoveries and bugs as you like!

More pics...
EDIT: That "overscroll glow" screenshot seems broken but the actual effect is not. Cyan toned global selection and overscroll glow works nicely.
And say, any other achieved so high a Quadrant score?

One more bump before the Americans awake... It's 3PM here and I hope the Euro-America bros on the other side of the earth can see this on top once they wake up...
EDIT: Okay I know it - we Chinese are GMT+8 and US should be -6~-9...

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

is the cam working ?

what are the benefits over default N12 Umay

& whats the amount of free ram... for me normally its from 90 to 110mb


P.s. - the images are not fitting correctly
click on ton down arrow in attachments & select "insert all"

good job

GODbless :)

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Great.Something new for NITDroid!
Thanks :D

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

What... Well I'm simply MODDING on top of a mixture of N12's 2.3.4 and 2.3.7 version and EVERYTHING should be working like Team NITDroid's initial release... THIS IS NOT A NEW VERSION OF NITDROID!
Camera's already working in 2.3.7, but since the released 2.3.7 is very much unstable, you can check out one of my old posts for the camera libs to enable camera viewfinding even under 2.3.4. Be aware though, camera doesn't zoom or focus and has a very low success rate of taking photo (mostly when you press the shutter it freezes and asks you to close it)
Benefits? It looks nice and is good for showing off to your CM7-toting friends :P ("WOW you compiled a CM7 for N900?! Awesome!!")
For me free RAM goes 140M+ when turned on and usually stays above 120M. See, I don't install much apps, never leave ANY background running apps and always use AutoStarts to turn off MOST auto-start or background-run permissions. N900 is NOT a PC and we should lighten its load (besides, I've got an Epic 4G for gaming and heavy computing)
Plus I've seldom posted before... You can see I'm a novice here. And I'm posting from the N900 so there's not much to do with the attachments :(

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

LOL,I know that someday we will get HD recording and touch to focus on our N900's :D.

And ram load is great.I get usually 70-90mb of free ram (but not idle).

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Why do we have to take photos under NITDroid... Sometimes I just can't stand the speed and attitude of e-yes and fellow, been working on voicecall and no result (at least I don't use N900 to call) BUT also gives us a far-from-complete camera... AND when someone donated them an N9 in sympathy they put their WHOLE into it. I've recently checked up and found latest video featuring hw acceled ICS on our N900 but it's already too late. I've suggested porting CyanogenMod on NITDroid forum but got few replies. Don't know what those Russian polar bears are doing every day on their N9...
I've once stressed my N900 too with tons of apps and heavyweight launchers but I found it not practical and laggy... That's why even with a much better device like Epic 4G I still kept my habit of integrating task killers and AutoStarts in its custom ROMs... Keeping the device light is a good habit.
I guess you lot have to keep it working 'cuz maybe N900's your only daily phone?

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

"i prefer freezing apps" even some system one...

& even i am not so passionate about call & cam & not even ICS(if there is any difficulty porting it)... since my N900 is more of a tablet to me then a phone


P.s - i think e-yes(& ammyt) did great job with even great dedication, he is was working on N900 NITdroid since 2010...

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

I'm waiting for a stable & fast build of NITDroid too but say, current NITDroid is really FAR FROM COMPLETE and laggy. I had a Milestone with identical CPU and RAM as N900 but CM7 and ICS on it was much smoother than I've experienced on my N900... Optimization issues it must be. N9's NITDroid got similar problem 'cuz I flashed one for my classmate and system is not as fluid as an OMAP3630+1GB RAM can do...
I don't know what's the current progress of e-yes and fellow. Yeah he WAS ONCE so dedicated on N900 'cuz he's got no N9 but once he got donated he and the team split. Now in the NITDroid forum they're even rudely responding to and deleting those posts asking for ICS progress...
Meanwhile ammyt (to me) is more concentrated on N900 and still provides support in TGNT thread... What a comparison.
So what's NIT's first priority? Latest version? Voice calls? HW accel? Camera? Overall experience? Nah, I don't see ANY of them gets properly implemented.

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Maemo is better, and e-yes made nitdroid, you just use his work and tweak it more, why do you criticism him? Do you think you can.do better? Please keep rational, and respect the developer

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

i don't mean to sound rude but e-yes,ammyt,and others not forgetting DMonsterProd who i believe started this port have done wonders with the project and if you think its easy then offer to help and get voice calls working and a stable system in your own time with people constantly asking why something is not working like they've paid money and are getting screwed over .

thanks team from scoobydooall your efforts are appreciated cheers

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

The end is near.

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Okay okay, I'm simply putting user's thoughts straightforward. I tweak 'cuz it's imperfect and I wanna contribute. We have a same goal but we do different things. I admit I haven't the ability and time to grab a Linux machine and compile a CM myself but why not those who meet the requirements?
Without e-yes and fellow we wouldn't have enjoyed Gingerbread for now I admit, but from what I can see e-yes is handing the N900 project to his fellow and THEY are progressing. Let's just hope N900 and N9 don't fight and both run Android perfectly.
Maemo is better? To the dev extent I guess, that's why I fetched myself a second-hand Android for gaming and Internet.

I can't but at least there's other than e-yes who can...

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

and thanks to ammyt to, i learn so much from him, :)
you are rock!!

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

What is it ammyt? You mean the forum I guess?

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Yeah ammyt really did SO much support and release jobs at TGNT and other threads. He is the second to e-yes I wanna thank for having NITDroid!

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Well thanks I love to be a source of knowledge :p

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Everything. Everything is declining. Our N900s will end just like the N8x0s. Remember how DjSteve announced that the N8x0s will stop receiving support until they're done with the N900? The N8x0s never got any support after that. It's just the same exact case with our N900s and N9s today. The community will keep on adding support, but this support is finite.

And I honestly think it's about time I leave this place after finishing some stuff I am committed to.

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

thats why i hate nokia, but love them baby called maemo, lol

well when my n900 and n9 died i dont know which OS thats gonna be my choice, :confused:

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Android. Just accept it already, you're dying to run it on your N900.

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

True. Sad to see Nokia's falling... Root is at Apple.
At least we received much more than that of N8x0s... Glad.
And since the forum is closing/moving soon, I guess I'll gradually fade too. XDA-Developers is fine for daily hangarounds.

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

This hurts me the most. The amount of awesome people I met in this community is just very hard to leave, I can't imagine spending a week without reading what's popping on between members, the fights, the trolls, the laughs :') What a pain imagining this will all fade away soon is.

Words just can't describe how positive this place has been since its birth. The amount of experience I gained over here is VERY extreme. I started on the n00best level you could imagine, I didn't know what ./MyDocs is. All of what I can say is, what a hell of a ride this was.

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Go get yourself a Nexus S (cheap enough already) or Galaxy Nexus (ammyt has it, no?) and you'll be hard to resist this open, vanilla Android fella.
Personal choice is a Windows Phone device. I've experienced enough of Android on N900 and Epic 4G and recently I'm asking someone near for a dead Samsung Focus for $40 and will try to revive it...
Guess ammyt's right. We were striving to have Android on our N900 so why not try a real Android phone?

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

I got my brand new Galaxy Nexus for $280, how awesome is that? :')

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Me don't wanna imagine a week without a checkup at TMO...
I took up Maemo about 1.5 yr ago and I don't even know why Linux (Maemo) won't let me enter MyDocs just because I typed "Mydocs" (capital letter counts)... Same n00b we've been.
So the place is going down but many members are trying their best to save the day. I'm staying unless one day a 404 pops up here but XDA's gonna be my day-to-day source.
You got a GNex so are you going to XDA, ammyt?

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

i have sgs2 and nitdroid on my n900 just for fun, im not a fan of android, i find comfort in maemo, i know i know its irrational, maybe wp8 gonna be my next choice, but Tizen is on my no.1 list if they came out, :)

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Awe level: 85/100. Official unlocked is $350...
BUT I got my second-hand Epic 4G for ONLY $80. For such a single-core, QWERTY-wielding performance beast.

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Aw, Tizen. It may be filled with internal power but lacks exterior beauty from the device (Sammy's i9500) to the interface (as crappy as Chinese KIRFs).

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Some people says dont judge the book from its cover, :p

Asians ....

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

The same applies for our N900 too. :P
But really, Tizen LOOKS so immature. And seemingly will be filled with that damn TouchWiz (TouchWiz on Android is fine, but otherwise it's wasting resources). I don't see a future for this particular device... At least Sammy should've made it as convincing as S8500 (though its Bada is also a failure)...

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

@Andy : can u post a youtube video of this?
does it supports voice call?
does it drains battery?

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

i feel the thread is diverted... but its good coz its bumping...

as for Tizen i know one thing that "Samsung is not a Quitter"... just look at his "BADA" its nothing compared to the OS Giants...
Still we get at-least one Device with Bada OS from Sammy every year and we know he wont give-up on Bada...

so Tizen is safe in Samsung's Hands don't worry.. & i have heard even HTC interested in Tizen

Re: [TEST RELEASE] The Cyanogenized(themed) NITDroid N12 Apps and Framework
 

Yeah,I was joking about the camera,and for now N900 is my daily phone.
I'm in no way hurting my N900 because I'm in Nitdroid almost one hour every few days.
Geez,what,you can't have a lil' joke anymore?
