Here is the next installment for Longhorn. I changed the default Launcher to HoloLauncher. It is an ICS clone that is very lightweight and quick. I have improved the battery life slightly and made a few other tweaks. Thanks to all of those that have help to make this Rom what it is today.



BIG CHANGE: In order to do a Complete Factory Reset, You will need to do a StreakMod Wipe Data/Factory Reset as well as a Dell Factory Reset. 

New Version

Longhorn 2.9.1

Longhorn 2.9.1 Changes:
Added LMK settings
Adjusted Lag settings
Fixed issue with video recorder
Notification LEDs on by default ( to remove LED notifications, delete LED section in post _boot.sh)

Longhorn 2.9 Changes:
HDPI Resolution
I/O Tweaks and File System optimizations
Adjusted Bluetooth settings
Added DSC Universal Kernel (366BB compatible)
Added Boot Audio
Updated media files


Longhorn 2.7 is a little bit different as I have re-added most of the CM7 Functionality back into the Rom, with it still being bare bones. So now the Theme chooser and CM Settings are built into it already. Longhorn 2.7 has a Red and Black theme that comes stock. I have changed the scheduler and made a few minor tweaks to help speed up the I/O a bit. The minimum frequency is 128mHz and the max is 1267mHz due to the zdrive from DSC CM Kernel. Battery life is moderate, but can use some improvement.

Longhorn 2.7 Changes:
Added CM7 Theme Chooser
Added CM Settings Functionality
Added Red and Black Theme
Added Modified DSC Kernel
Changed Scheduler
Tweaked minor settings

Longhorn 2.6 is based on CM7, but those CM7 functions have been removed (98% of them), and what is left is Android 2.3.7 If you want those Functions to work here is the original Link to CM7 and MIUI Ports http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1528412 A huge thanks goes out to 985hPaKicK and the entire DSC Team for their work..
If you need the CM7 Settings and Theme Options for Version 2.5 or 2.6, download and flash this zip file

Longhorn 2.5 is based on the Android 2.3.7 Port of CM7 that 985hPaKicK made. It incorporates work from the DSC Team, and it is NOT a CM7 version but Android 2.3.7. It has a tweaked init script from Slaid480, and some more settings to make it run smoothly.
As far as Keyboard FCing, you can use a different keyboard. I have provided another Gingerboard keyboard.

Full credits to XDA Forum Member Smando who has come out with this Launcher.With the content leaks of Galaxy S3 like Stock Wallpapers, Stock Ringtones, Flipboard app,S-Voice etc., TouchWiz UX Launcher which is the native launcher of Galaxy S3 adds up to the list.

Guide to Download & Install TouchWiz UX Launcher of Galaxy S3 in your Android Phone:

Congratulations, you have now successfully downloaded and installed the Touch Wiz UX Launcher in your device. Do let us know in the comments section just in case if you face any issues as we will try our level best to sort out the same.

One thing you might have noticed other than the unbeatable specs (at that price) of the Nexus 7 is its phone like user interface. Not many of us care about it because it’s just a 7 inch tablet with portability comparable to a smartphone. Folks at XDA has managed to give the Nexus 7 some tweaks to make it’s UI similar to a tablet’s UI. Google’s Nexus 7 does not come with landscape orientation for the home screen. For most 10 inch tablets, the landscape orientation is preferred by users. However the nexus 7  faces some issues when running in landscape orientation.

If you were a tablet user and is not happy with your new Nexus 7′s UI, then this is something you should definitely try out. Here is how to do it.

1. Open a file manager such as ES File explorer. Make sure your device is rooted and allow root access and check mount rewritable in settings.

2. Navigate to /system and open Build.prop in text editor.

3. Find “ro.sf.lcd_density” and change it’s value to 170 or below which is ideal for a tablet UI.

4. Reboot your nexus 7 and see the magic.

You can always change your value back to default. But you have to remember the default value or make a copy of Build.prop in case some error occurs.
