Doubt it. Neither name shows up on their download page (http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/).

Then I'll never experience Kitkat goodness on my phone. Yes there is a Kitkat ROM for it though, but development stopped because the guy in charge lost his phone and ROM data, and the ROM currently has got everything working minus SIM cards and internal/external SD card support. Losing both features, especially the SIM one, means I'm reducing the phone to a SIM-less tablet and making it unusable.

However, even though I doubt its Kitkat-ness, I never knew such a ROM existed for my phone model... till now.

I took some time to make a BIOS Splash screen (And windows7 boot logo with -NOGUI)

for custom rom Cyanogemod has a wide range of supported phone (even my LG c800 has a rom (4.0.4) but only nightly)
the only thing that itch me is ".com" and the smiley button not working and the cursor wont change when you press the fn or MAJ button so you need to be used to the phone to memorise the state of the cursor

I don't know but cyanogmod doesn't even have a program that streamlines the process of putting up a custom rom for whatever obscure droid you're gonna think of. You have to hope they'd create a ROM for your mobile, but obviously they're just going to be bothered with the higher up phones which already have extreme performance anyways. Its a shame. But at least there are working ROMs for my phone with multi-window, waitin' to get that a-working but the problem is my data (again).

On my Android i had to install Clockwork mod recovery (CWM) (it add a gui for the recovery mode witch is usually accessed by holding power+volume- (or power+volume-+A+F in my case)) IIRC my friend'S phone (LG P930?) had a stock recovery mode that was exactly like CWM
The rom was a zip file that i put on my blank SD card and then i could flash with CWM
you'll also want the gapp zip to instal the playstore on your custom romed phone

I've installed the S4TheWin ROM for my Galaxy Win, but it was somewhat disappointing. The transparent status bar most of the time looks out of place, the fonts feel bigger(?), the stock Touchwiz icons do not fit with the style of the "All apps" button from S4's Touchwiz... and the animation is slow when switching between the app drawer and the homescreen. So basically I'm going to switch to another ROM. This is one is the stock ROM but deodexed, so I can squeeze in the "Multi-window" mod while retaining a near-stock experience.

OK, basically this is the first time I ever use a custom ROM for an Android in my life. I've only flashed a stock ROM in place of an older stock ROM which was stuck in a bootloop on the sold Galaxy Fame.

So you finally got a Custom ROM into your phone that's nice

Sadly my android only offer a single one based on cyanogen mod but it's pretty solid even for a nightly build (well for the basic use of a phone since I'm more into nintendo when it comes to gaming, 3DS pikachu edition FTW ! Even my iPhone with 4-5 games and a GBA emulator I've NEVER played on it except at some very rare occasion)

back on the post your desktop thread here's mine

Back with Win7 because Win8 is a bunch of problem just like when I had Millennium in my young times
Oh god I HATE it when an app turn in French (even if I'm a French Canadian, or Québecoi like we like more to say)
notice that "Mini-lecteur"

...And a refresh of my iPhone. Nothing really changed (wallpaper and colour adjustement), ~~showing f.lux~~ and my rolling icons when I swipe a page ! ...Installing photoshop to make it a single picture... seems like f.lux only filter your screen and doesn't appear on a screen capture

EDIT: just for you pooka YES I DO HAVE FLAPPY BIRD
played once and scored 31

Dammit. I hate Flappy Bird and iOS. Anyways... since I now reinstalled my stock ROM (as a deodexed one with triangle away, prerooted and zipaligned, finally flashed a multi-window mod to it), I brought back that SGS3 live wallpaper.

This is a work in progress. Setting up Ubuntu for Pyromon (my Win2k PC). I originally intended to switch because I thought I could get a wireless card working, but it turned out to be a hardware problem preventing it from being properly installed. But, I am going to be continuing through with setting up Linux, because why the hell not.

Pooka · « **Reply #113 on:** Apr 11 2014, 04:56 PM »

It got changed. Same girl from the front of the last desktop... she's too damn cool.

Samui · « **Reply #114 on:** Apr 13 2014, 02:28 PM »

Some more screenshots of pyro. This time, on the actual machine.

Samui · « **Reply #115 on:** Apr 18 2014, 12:13 AM »

And here's a screenshot of the desktop using icewm. Haven't decided on a theme yet.

Samui · « **Reply #116 on:** Jun 03 2015, 10:19 AM »

A year later, I've decided to go with a Win2K/XP look for IceWM and stick with it as my default window manager.

Keeping it simple, as always. Surprised I hadn't posted in this topic before. Oh well!
