Kang-o-rama 0.7 Final - CM5.0.7.1+OC/UV/21MB+Desire+Helix OR CM Launcher
New Fast Mirror Added - Special Thanks To D0ugie!!
Now with 5 column CyanogenMod launcher option!!
If you're looking for a fast, reliable and stable collection of excellent mods and apps for your Nexus one then you've found it because here is
Kang-o-rama for your consumption. This bundle, which installs with one automated script, brings together some of the best and most essential roms, mods and apps for your Nexus. Based on the simply incredible CyanogenMod and the blazing fast overclock kernel from pershoot Kang-o-rama gives you a frustration-free 'wow' out-of-the-box experience. Credit goes to all of the devs out there that have made Kang-o-rama a possibility for so many people (remember though, you can always PM me if you'd like your software removed).
Final releases are stable insofar as they have been tested by a wide variety of users. The last Final (stable) release will always be available and these are safe to install on your phone. Beta software in this thread will be clearly identified as such. Although *I've* tested the beta versions please only try them if you know what you're expecting and are prepared to restore from backup.
This bundle and update script includes:
Kang-o-rama 0.7 Final:Icon PacksIcon packs can be used by applications such as Apps Organizer which is included in Kang-o-rama 0.7! They are also compatible with Better Cut and other applications that specifically look for icon packs. You can view the icons from the Launcher app but can only apply them with an app such as Apps Organizer or Better Cut. Oh, and by the way, they're Awesome! The screen caps above are of Apps Organizer folders using the included icon packs!
You must at least wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache before installing this. You really should wipe Data as well. If you know enough to make your own call based on the contents of this bundle then feel free but I don't endorse any other approach. If you want it to work then wipe.
- Please make sure you read the threads linked above and understand what you're installing. There are risks and it's entirely up to you know what they are and how to mitigate them.
- Yes of course your phone needs to be rooted!
- This update script does NOT back up ANY data or apps!
- Download Kang-o-rama from the link below
- Copy Kang-o-rama to root of your phone's SD Card
- Reboot into Recovery
- Do a Nandroid backup
- Do another Nandroid backup just in case
- Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik-Cache, Battery Stats, Rotation Settings
- Flash the Kang-o-rama zip file from your SD Card
- Reboot phone
- Enjoy
This is running stock speeds, you will need to use an application to overclock it. Additional fonts can only be used by applications looking for Android Font Packs (e.g. ChompSMS). The font pack can be uninstalled like any other app.
A few important notes (updated 26/05):- The files used to modify the notification bar and text colour have been changed substantially in CM-5.0.7 to work with the new Spare Parts application. When you first boot your clock text colour will be white but you will need to change all of the the other notification text colours in the Spare Parts application to your preferences.[/color]
- The HTC Sense live wallpaper will cause your phone to run slowly, it consumes huge amounts of resources. I recommend only using it for show and tell.
- (Helix)Launcher2 does not work nicely with some widgets and also acts up when switching between portrait and landscape modes some times. I still think the benefits outweigh the costs in this case. From the release of Kang-o-rama 0.7-Final I will provide a means to choose the standard CyanogenMod launcher when installing Kang-o-rama.
- BetterCut works fine to create and edit shortcuts. However, if BetterCut is resident in memory and Launcher2 is closed (restarted) BetterCut will complain when you use it next. It may say that you have Open Home installed or it may fc. If this happens just kill the BetterCut task and restart the application. This can be prevented if you kill the BetterCut task before restarting Launcher2.
- To use the HTC Keyboard you need to enable it in Settings | Language & Keyboard. Permissions for this app's data are set rw for everybody and system is the owner. I know this isn't correct. I couldn't set them specifically for this app which may be a limitation of my knowledge or the way I'm installing it. Not really any drama for a keyboard app.
- To use Ringtones Extented, simply select it from the pop-up when you go to change a ring or notification tone. Select it as Default because from within Ringtones Extended you can also use the standard Android menu.
- (Helix)Launcher2 DOES NOT HAVE 5 COLUMNS!
