This is covered in the first post. It locks the brightness slider to prevent accidental changes.

I bought a dime of bubblegum just for this occasion. Wish I could share.

Guess I will just have to hit the donate button instead.

What about the possibility of adding lock screen music control?

maybe some ICS-type love? (Drag one app onto another to create a folder, or 5 icon dock?)
Great job Guys!

That is a feature we are looking to implement, but because of the complexity of it, that may not be possible for the first public release.

That is a feature of the ICS launcher and cannot be implemented easily.

Cloudskipper and Doubletwist offer this.

As does Amazon MP3.

...and PowerAMP.

If I may make a suggestion, I would ask if it is possible to stay with the icons from Your Mom for the Settings menu. I think those multi-colored ones looked much nicer than the all blue from the picture. Either way, I'm sure the Rom will rule, though

2nd the colored settings, reminds me of ThundeROM

I agree that the multi-colored Settings icons look good, but do they look good when combined with the rest of the HydroROM theme? In my (and Team Hydro's) opinion, absolutely not. We're going for a futuristic-ish/ICS-ish look, and the multi-colored Settings icons (from Your Mom/Reborn/ThundeROM) just don't fit at all.

Maybe we'll see them in a theme in the future, but they just do not fit in with the rest of the theme.

I donated for the vh cm7 but doesn't look like its happening. Can I beta test this instead?

Got one better for you. Check your PM box

Can't wait for this! so sick of Grom, as I was about to flash your mom (lol), but caught the announcement and going to wait it out.

Edit: as i typed this response grom re-booted itself and I immediately donated.

LG is saying there will be a software update to fix the problems introduced by ZVH coming "very soon". We all know that it could be weeks or months, but if they roll out a ZVI update soon, will this still be relevant? Or hopefully it will be a simple task to make the changes in this ROM to the ZVI software...

Is there a contingency plan is on an impending software update? Looks awesome either way!

 

[drewwalton19216801]

From what I am hearing, LG is saying there will be a software update to fix the myriad of problems introduced by ZVH (I have no GPS, phone often doesn't ring, incoming texts are delayed by hours, etc.) coming "very soon", but they can't give an ETA because it's Sprint's deal, not theirs.

So, we all know that it could be weeks or months, but if they roll out a ZVI update in the next few days/weeks, will this still be relevant? Or hopefully it will be a simple task to make the changes in this ROM to the ZVI software...

Just wondering what the contingency plan is on an impending software update.

Looks awesome though!

If they roll out a ZVI update before HydroROM gets released, it will push back the release date (which hasn't been set) by at least a week. We have made so many changes, hacks, tweaks etc to make HydroROM that a software update now would be somewhat of an issue. If/when ZVI gets released, HydroROM WILL be updated to ZVI software but I can guarantee it will not be an overnight update.

tl;dr
If LG/Sprint releases the ZVI update within 2 weeks of the HydroROM release, I will be one grumpy developer.

Drew, I sent in a donation yesterday, and emailed you the transaction details in a PM (got a message back saying I can't PM directly though, so not sure if you got it). I'd be interested in giving beta testing a go if that's still doable.

Thanks.
