With the next release is on the way, I will be renaming the ROM Gaia with a new version of 2.0.x, and the next release will be 2.0.1.


There will be an overall changes to the ROM, with some of it are exciting and fresh for several users as said on the Lowyat forum thread.

  • Translucent status bar as default
  • New Splash image
  • Nexus ICS bootanimation
  • Based from Cyanogenmod 7.2 Source code
  • ICS animation backport
  • T9 dialer (thanks to cyanogenmod)

  • 2.6.35.x kernel
  • WiFi tethering working
  • USB tethering working
  • Improve "ondemand" CPU scheduler 
                                   




 Gaia 2 will promise the most refreshing feel to default Gingerbread look and feel, with minimal changes but still can give the most impact to user UI experience, so look forward for these changes in stable release of Gaia 2 this week with the following changes :

  • Transparent Gingerbread launcher hotseat
  • Better browser performance
  • Improved UI rendering
  • Better translucent statusbar support

The full release note will be publish here at the same time as the stable version is release. For now click on the link below for the RC preview of Gaia 2 :D

[Rom 2.3.7] MyLeWa for Z71 and clones

Screenshots:


Features:
-tweaked some status bar icons, like battery icon
-auto brightness fixed (*), not 100%.
-added ExDialer, an MiUI style dialer. Simple, smart and fast. I like it, with multilanguage support and some themes, like in screenshoots.
-changed bootanimation.
-update and included: Market, SuperUser, RootExplorer, MIUI weather ...
-Default launcher: Zeam Launcher, it's simple, fast and gesture support.
-dalvik2cache, sd card speed fix, build.prop changed only for better battery life.
-kernel by edgar for better battery life and WiFi drivers from update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-aPT-v2 for better search and stability.

(*) I use "Custom Auto Brightness" app, older that from Market, for me it's better, maybe the author fixes bugs in future.
Read "How to use:" section on Google play for properly settings.

Download app: www64.zippyshare.com/v/76925892/file.html

Tips:
-when you first setup and entry in Playstore, touch back button, appears window with Backup and Store option, choose next and finish.
-Settings/Performance/Clear memory exceptions, enable LogGraph if you don't want to kill this app (auto brightness) when you touch memory cleanup button on drop-down status bar.
-some options on Settings don't work, it's normal, because I choose to use an alternative Launcher and I delete some apps from LeWa that it's not necessary.

PLEASE, READ THIS FIRST BEFORE FLASH THE ROM:
+Test arhive for CRC error.
+How to install:
  1. go to recovery
  2. wipe data/factory reset
  3. install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard
  4. power off
  5. reboot with “Master Reset”

This is the best LeWa that you can get!

[Rom 2.3.7] Hfbvm v2.0.0

This one has GO launcher with pre-installed Themes. The only bad thing about go launcher is the space. According to me it is meant for Big screens. The screen is already tiny and it appears even more smaller. But with a few changes it looks just fine. Changing the home screen grid to 5x5 and Drawer grid to 3x3 it actually looks pretty nice. And it has a large support and hence according to me Go launcher is the next best thing. It also has the ICS type organization in App drawer. Has all the features of V.1.3.0

Download: www.mediafire.com/download.php?tm6cuhuu18yl8uj

Screen Shots:



[Rom 2.3.7] Hfbvm v1.3.0

The final and stable version. Everything is working and tested.
It has the Default Cyanogen Mod UI . The HeLauncher Gives you the Look of Motoblur, or HTC sense or Touchwiz (Samsung) UI or the plain AOSP.
List of the features:

HeLauncher (AOSP, Samsung, Motorola, HTC)
Sony Walkman Music Player
All In one Facebook (Widget, App and Chat)
Twitter with widget
MI File Explorer
MI Locker
Adobe Flash Player
Clocks from Acer and Sony and HTC
Media Shortcuts
DSP manager
Reduced RAM usage
Lots of governors (I prefer smartass)

DOWNLOAD: www.mediafire.com/download.php?o6f0csa74l4d621



SCREENSHOTS:



The HeLauncher is the original V1.5 which was free and was later pulled off from the market and replaced by HeLauncher2 which is paid. There is absolutely no pirated software.

And yes how could i forget. Special thanks to Cipi and Fagulhas.

[TRICK] Dropbox with +23GB Free Space

How-to
• Uninstall any other instances of dropbox (either official or unofficial)
• Install my APK
• Login & wait for the confirmation mail!
• If you haven't received the confirmation mail after 30 minutes, try uninstalling the app, the installing it again and login. BUT, it doesn't work for everyone. Haven't figured out why yet.

[Rom 2.3.7] Hfbvm v1.0 Beta

This can be considered as a Kang version of the LEWA UI and Cyanogenmod 7.1 aPT v2 ROM. This is in Beta

It has all the goodness of Lewa OS It includes data monitoring, power savings, pop-up SMS notification window showing the text with the reply box, etc. The only thing it doesnt have is the desktop and app drawer as I have replaced it by ADW launcher. Temporarily It has The standalone version of CM 7.1 aPT v2 ROM. But it isnt as fast as i would like it to be.

Goodies:
ADW launcher (New)
MIUI Music (New)
MIUI File Explorer
MI Locker
Angry Birds lockscreen
160 MB Internal Memory Free! (New)

(New) indicates things added/done by me.

Changes:
Calender, Browser, Gallery etc Swapped. (Replaced with better ones {Trust me})
Pre Installed apps like No-frills cpu control, Rom Manager, Swapper2, Facebook etc.

Bugs:
No auto Brightness
Home option in Settings (Settings.apk need to be worked one. Will take a day or two)
One or two apps need to be removed which arent working
Launcher Needs customisation
Maybe other things


Special thanks to @Fagulhas and @cipi for Their ROM

To Do:

1. De-odex
2. Customize Launcher
3. Add automated V6 supercharger installation
4. Disable Angry birds lock screen
5. You tell me...
