aaaaand!
NEW CAMERA HACK:
- Continuous autofocus (IT ONLY WORKS FOR SHORT DISTANCES, disable it to record videos of far objects!)
- Video 30 FPS and bitrate lowered to 9Mbps for HD videos to allow LAGLESS video recording! (It will miss frames when going from short to far distance all at once, because the camera changes focus mode, but this is normal)
- IN VIDEO RECORDING ---> AUDIO QUALITY SET TO 288kbps INSTEAD OF DEFAULT 128kbps!! (this does not mean you'll get more than double audio quality of course )
- Picture quality set to 95 instead of 85 (photos will be bigger in size and more definite)
NEW NETWORK MOD
[/b]There is also a NetworkMod.sis package which you can find in C, which will set this options as default (PLEASE NOTE: INSTALL IT RIGHT AFTER FLASHING!!! AND REBOOT!!!):
- Local Network set to ONLY WIFI (it won't autoconnect to 3g anymore! )
- Roaming network set to ONLY WIFI (it won't autoconnect to 3g anymore! )
- Wifi AutoSearch is DISABLED
I created this package because everytime I flash my N8 after 5minutes it autoconnects to 3G network, and makes me spend lots of money...with this patch I know that once I have flashed, I install that sis, reboot, and I'm ok, no more worries
NEW THEME MOD
[/b]Since the N8 is missing lots of icon skinning features at the moment I decided to give theme makers a hand, restoring some of the minor uid skinning for the icons that could not be skinned so far by theme makers on N8, such as the TOOLS folder, the WEBTV folder, and the LOGS icon in the homescreen. This means that with H2O, you'll have those icons skinned with the theme icons, while on official fw or any other cfw not using my mods, those icons will stay default ones
THEME
[/b]The theme is Aurora by BabiNokia, modified on purpose for H2O! (You'll notice the H2O app loader in the upper right corner of your open applications )
Thanks BabiNokia!
This is all for this first custom firmware...
