This ROM is DISCONTINUED
I am sorry to say I don't find the time to further develop this ROM, if anyone wants to continue this ROM please do so. Just pm me and it's fine. Thanks for using this ROM and for your feedback. Maybe in the future I will begin a new ROM project. For now I am only developping a ROM Download Manager for the desktop, keep an eye on the portal .
Go check it out for screenshots and download :

i`ll give a chance this evening ... looks nice
I have been using this ROM for the last hour or so. I did a backup, clean wipe and fresh flash. I have let the new ROM settle and have done a manual reeboot also.
I am a humble end-user and not a dev but thought that I would give a breakdown of some of my first impressions and observations.
I like the boot annimation alot, I also like the lock screen. Both look clean.
I like the orange font used in the status bar and the pull down menu although the "Wild Ginger" wording in the drop down menu is very blury and looks ugly.
The window transistions are smooth as you like but don't feel snappy quick.
I think the new honeycomb launcher is a nice touch but doesn't seem as intuative as the regular launchers such as ADW; maybe it's because I'm not used to honeycomb yet.
My main gripe about the Honeycomb launcher is that it force closes ALL the time. I have been trying to remove the Google search bar widget that is pre-loaded on screen after first boot and it is impossible (and the widgets aren't even locked to desktop). Also I can't ADD any additional widgets - you can select a widget to add but nothing happens!
From the main screen, waiting for the menu to appear takes about 5seconds which is an age. The "Personalise Honeycomb" menu doesn't fit the whole screen and you can see thick band of the desktop down the right of the screen which is ugly.Once in the preferences menu it isn't at all clear what you are meant to do... You can see the "Apply Settings" button but it took me tapping about the rest of the screen to finally make the actual preferance choices appear.
I have tested inbound and outbound calls and wifi both work as standard. The music player has nice interface, camera works and stock browser is fine. I don't like the dark blue highlight that appears when you press on an app icon it looks clumsy.
The numbers 1,2 and 3 are almost cut in half in the dialer and the green phone "call" icon doesn't seem to fit in it's area neatly.
I like H4oxer's work on this ROM and I hope it continues to get better but with these quite apparent bugs I will respectfully wait for an update before I continue to use this ROM.
Good Work tho!
so ...
good review above .... absolutelly uselless to say more ... 100% same opinions as you EDD ! keep going h4oxer !!!
Thanks guys I really appreciate your feedback ! Will work on it!

from his blog - "Used the froyo libcamera.so library to use the camera app, capturing video still gives force closes."
I guess not
No it doesn't work..still looking into that...has something to do with gpu that we don't have!

tried to flash but no luck stuck at splash screen,did wipe,factory reset,dalvik...how long was first boot for you guys?
You'll have to wait 5-10 minutes... leave it for 10 minutes on first boot..
why I cant see any progres in progres bar in recovery,says instaling update ...
(now no progres of writing files) and afther just 10-15 sec instal complete,is this normal? usualy can see progres and takes a bit longer
Yes it's normal, I didn't payed attention at the progressbar while writing the updater file , but it works don't worry. It installs fast because it had not much apps on board. Just the essential.
10min past stil on my splash screen.no boot animatio yet

Wierd. This ROM is working fine for me. Did you wipe /data and /cache?
yes did everything...dont know simple not booting,stucked on splash screen not even bootanimation
OK....first impressions are good. Startup in less than 4 minutes. Looking good. Everything is working out of the box, no force closing or similar problems. Nice themes, Market app is interesting
LCD density set to 115 and dialpad and everything else looks good
need to be done
- icons in status bar - phone signal at least
- trackpad wakeup
- sound on lock/unlock
- 6x5 icons is too much... 4x5 would be better in my opinion
- Home screen - same as above
- when LCD density changed no way to add widgets or apps to home screen
all in all very good rom, but need a little bit of fixing

Totally agree with u.
I hope that in next version it will have trackpad & volumes wakeup to ... protect our Wildfires' poor Power Buttons
Nobody is interested in this rom?

Me too ! I'm looking forward for more changes

I'm currently using the "[ROM][KANG] CherryKANG 0.9.4 1512max 384min [CM9] ." Overall, the rom is quite good. However, multitasking function ( or so-called recent apps which is located on the bottom left corner) pops up too big compared with CM9 alpha 1.1 I've used before. It takes up the whole screen. Does anybody know how to make is smaller like previous CM9 versions? I appreciate for any help.
What's your resolution settings in CherryKANG ? I haven't used it, but if your DPI is set to big, it might cause that.
It is 120 dpi.
Its not the dpi, its cherry kang. The rom was built that way for some reason
Hey everyone,
due to the high resolution and comparably large screen estate I would like to use a lower screen density of around 410dpi, instead of the stock 480. :fingers-crossed:
One example:
On my Galaxy Nexus I was used to having a 24dpi high navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.
It was small but still I was able to hit the buttons accurately.
Same goes for the small keys of my keyboard of choice, Swiftkey.
Since I am on the HTC One and I flashed a Custom ROM, which I am running on 410dpi and wanted that stock android navigation bar at the bottom even at 48dpi (which is like 1.7x the height of the one I was using on my Galaxy Nexus) I have trouble hitting the buttons.
This is very disappointing.
It feels like the Touch layer of the HTC One is not that accurate
Is it just me or is this a known problem?
(Couldn't find anything via search, though)
Any ideas what to do about it?
All the best and thanks in advance :good:
I don't see this at 360dpi which is what I have mine at, but I do see it at 240, but everything then is silly in size.
Have you enabled the show touches in dev options and checked where its actually pressing?
Always keep forgetting about that! Thanks!
That is pretty weird...the touch inputs seem to be quite accurate, though. (Debugging Tool)
But it doesn't recognize them in something like "the upper half of the navigation bar" :/
I quickly shot a Video (sorry not the best focus point )
One can clearly see that I am hitting the home button several times, but the input doesn't get recognized.
That is really really weird and unsatisfactory :/
I gave it a shot for you... It seems to work fine on 36dp and above. 30 and 24 exhibit the same behavior as your video.
FYI: I'm running SlimROM at 361dpi. That was the default for me when I went from ARHD 10.2 to Slim b6 and it has stuck with me since then. I tried to get the same look in RootBox but it didn't work the same, so I went back to SlimROM b6.8, and am now on SlimROM b7.
Thanks :good:
I am starting to believe that this is might be caused by the Logo-Button-Hack.
If you peek closely from the side under the tip of your finger touching the button and starting from the very bottom of the glass area there is just no response at all on the logo. It's like the first pixel of the screen are allocated to the logo-button and not the area below the screen.
Maybe an area of lets say 10-15 pixels height is used for that and therefore not any longer available for the nav bar.
Which doesn't really matter if you are hitting the comparably huge app-icons in the drawer otherwise
I have recently installed a Parrot Asteroid Smart Android Headunit, running Android 2.3.7, and I would like to try and replicate an exiting launcher UI from the Volvo Sensus connected touch.
The sensus UI is essentially one large icon per screen (large and easy to touch when moving) each screen transitions continuously, with each screen having a subtle zoom effect zooming in as its selected and zooming out as it is swiped off screen. The closest I've seen is a cylinder transition, but it was the wrong way around, and as I recall it was on the app drawer rather than home screens.
But the thing I'm trying to replicate that I haven't seen any launcher do (they most probably don't see a use case for it) is that the previous and next screens are about 75% in view when on a particular screen, so you can see the what apps/screens are would come next if swiping right or left.
I have been using sslauncher so far, and have got a similar effect, but not quite right as the launcher can't replcate having the previous and next screens partly in view.
Heres a youtube link, skip to 1 minute in to see what I'm going for

There are some other touches I'd like, the particle emitter effect when a shortcut is pressed is quite nice, but they are nice to haves.
Any ideas?
I'm running the latest nightly for CM10.2 and I've started to experience strange graphics rendering issues. For example, when on the desktop I'll launch chrome and the desktop background will slowly go away as a black background curtains from top to bottom with all the icons remaining. This process occurs very slowly and then the icons all disappear yielding the chrome app.
I am running a typical CM10.2 skin, no overclocking, plenty of hard drive space, but it seems like the gpu is taxed or there are memory management issues. Can anyone help or recommend changes?

I'd like to add that I'm using a live background (Xperia z). This problem also occurs occasionally when fast switching apps via holding the home button. Did not start until I put the 11/6 nightly after using nightly s in the same configuration for a month prior.
