Is the Sprint version of the Hydra ROM also included in the download from Devhost or Sendspace?

Read carefully, all that's needed to make the Sprint version is included.

So, should I unzip the ROM file with 7-Zip and then after modifying it by putting in a new build.prop, re-zip the file back up?

No. Once you unzip it thou will never get it to rezip correctly. Just pull out the file you need to modify, change it and then drop it back into the zip.

Which is also in the prerequisites: "If you extract everything and try to re-compress it, you will break things. Being Linux based, Windows will lose files making your ROM not work. So only open and drag things in and out. This applies to APK files as well."

I've noticed the same thing happens on Linux as well. When I still had my laptop I was porting a rom to the optimus v, using Linux and without thinking extracted using file roller and it still killed it. Or maybe I just have bad luck.

I've been wanting to create a theme for a ROM, and I wanted to try UOT, but it's down for me. Do you have any other suggestions for a theming tool? Hopefully I can move from theming to creating a custom ROM, but I'm taking baby steps here lol

Its all good

Extended power menu instructions updated, finally.

Also, when Hydra's updated, it will comes with all of the bug fixes that have been completed, including fixes for the ROM-specific bugs, like Tagged and ICS Elite, even Aeneas, in addition to having all of the performance enhancements that have been discovered by the community. However, some bugs, like the Bluetooth bug, that came with the phone out of the box, may not be fixed (the Bluetooth one isn't, but many bugs from stock have also been fixed over time).

 

[Artine]

I said I would do it, and I had free time tonight, so I did it: Hydra is now updated using a fresh Aeneas build and Sleipnir v2.4.0.2. Enjoy.

EDIT: Project Mayhem v2, here I come!

System/media/

Replace bootanimation.zip with your own

If one does not exist just place it in there

 

[DaveM6]

Anyone else see a drop in battery by 4-6% everytime you reboot?

I see that with a lot of the roms, I'll be at 40 then at 15 after a reboot

 

[Dark One]

Mine hangs at 20% for a while and then drops like a rock

 

[rlattin24]

i turned my phone off at 60% when i turned it back on i was at 25% i was like wtf, wasnt with this rom though

Oddly enough, it almost seems at times as though you have better battery life by keeping the phone on, than turning it off. Lol.

 

[miediev]

I think it has to do with the fact that the phone doesn't actually know how much charge the phone has left. It's making estimates based on the voltage level and I'm sure a few other variables including the battery stats. I've noticed often the battery level will rise a little bit after the initial drop after you reboot.

It is a mystery though, where does the charge go? Does rebooting actually cause a sudden drop in battery charge; or is android so convinced of said drop that it acts it out as if it were true? A quick internet search shows more questions than answers. The world may never know.
