Skyraider = AWESOME!

[Soul TKR]

Just thought I'd share... I flashed the new Skyraider Preview ROM a couple days ago and it's fantastic. MUCH MUCH Smoother than BAMF 4.9. That ROM was starting to lag extremely bad for some reason and just got on my nerves over time. Skyraider is a hybrid rom of 2.1 and 3.0 sense. You can also install the 2.1 skins successfully.
Can't wait till the full version comes out!

Some of my current screenshots...



This is just an older skin I had on at first...

SkyRaider Zeus Preview

This is the official thread for the SkyRaider Zeus Preview. This is a fresh new innovative Sense ROM for the Thunderbolt. I hope you enjoy it.

--==--

This ROM offers a lot of new enhancements and optimizations over stock Sense. I have made some new Quick Settings, enhanced parts of the ROM and even took skins to a new level.

The expanded status bar has been completely reconfigured and optimized. You will notice quite a few changes to it over stock. The approach I took was create more room by removing unnecessary items while retaining and even gaining functionality. The recent apps bar is hidden by default, but you can access it at any time by long pressing on the title bar. To switch to Quick Settings, simply tap the title bar once.

I have added seven additional Quick Settings and created four of them myself. This is really just the beginning in this arena. I already have plans underway for more customizations.

There are a few enhancements to Rosie including a remappable right button (via long press), drop to uninstall over the trash can, and an unlocked edit button to display application details.

Another unique thing about this rom is the addition I made to skins. The edge glow effect that you will find in this ROM can change colors simply by choosing another skin. Five skins are included with this ROM and each has a different edge glow color to match its theme. In addition, any other Sense 2.1 Gingerbread skin you find on the Internet will work with this ROM, however, if the edge glow graphics are missing, it will use the default images. A big thanks goes to wowthatisrandom for modifying the skins for me and helping out with testing.

Lastly, you will find the Sense 3.0 lock screen in here along with several screens to choose from. I also included the Sense 3.0 Weather application. A big thanks goes to seo for the lock screen and weather items.

Thanks to all of my testers. They really helped out a lot identifying bugs and helping make this ROM great.

I have found one bug. texting is a little off on time of recieved text. not too big of deal, but annoying none the less. the time texts are recieved is an hour ahead according to the timestamp of the text. so when responding it looks all out of sequence. kinda hard to keep track of a conversation if you are a big texter like myself... unless this is caused by something else and someone could enlighten me on a solution?this is my first rom/radio flash, after I rooted my thunderbolt. so I am very much a newbie here. Thanks,Todd

There is an app you can download: https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result I haven't used it, but have seen it recommended in many ROM threads.

Anyone know how to keep wallpaper from scrolling in this ROM?

Looks very good! If Chevy hadn't just released his ROM today, I'd give this one a go!
