HTC Flyer: continuing the development of the first custom ROM with Android 4.0 ICS

The community of independent developers have already released several interesting projects, aimed at owners of an HTC smartphone, aiming to install the latest release of the system operating Android, or Ice Cream Sandwich. The community has not neglected even the house of HTC tablet, the Flyer , which has been around for several weeks a promising project to build a custom ROM with Android ICS functioning properly .We make the point about the situation.

The ROM Skyfire, recently arrived to version 1.3, is essentially a port of the ROM for HTC Flyer RCMix 3D, developed originally for HTC Sensation. The ROM, of course, has been readapted to support your hardware of the Flyer with the following results:

Key Features :

• Based on ROM RCMix 3D corrections for hardware made by Dexter_nlb
• Root
• Launhcer Trebuchet
• Removed MMS / phone app and not broken or unusable
• Adding the keyboard properly dimensioned
• Google Apps update
• Nova Launcher

Feature funzionant i:

• WiFi
• Access to the Market
• LockScreen AOSP
• Touch
• Rotating the screen
• Access ADB
• External SD

Feature not working :

• Camera
• Bluetooth
• Some settings (such as the keyboard selection)
• The screen rotation has bugs graphics
• The applications HTC are not properly adapted to the screen size

It is therefore a good start, although further work is needed to complete the work of adaptation to the ROM flyer. For more information on the project, we refer to the officialforums
