Good news for 523x users.
Credits: 008Rohit, for the awesome Photon C6-03
Coderus, for the CenRep descriptions.
binh24, for the N97 port to 5800.
DJNokia5233, for helping.
john89, for the call bug fix.
Team PedroCst, who’re still working to make the N97 port, perfect.
Dialer icon replaced with 2 dots. Thanks to RozzerX for the mod
Swipe to unlock or tap to unlock has not been added. Add it yourselves, if you wish.
There’s no c6 dialer. The default dialer is present.
New qwerty mod (with the mod switch) has been added.
Dialer auto rotate does not work.
Main Advantages:
The main advantage that you’d get is the RAM boost. You’d get RAM values, almostsimilar to OFW.
To be precise, if you get 55 mb right after a boot for c6 ports, you get 60-62 mb free ram with this.
Average free RAM after heavy use, will never drop below 50 mb and i can guaranteethat you’d get at least 60 mb free after a boot, without the theme effects.
All the mods added in Photon C6-03 by 008Rohit works with Photon N97, except those mentioned above.
So, that means, you get all the speed and visual splendor of Photon C6-03, with RAM boost..!
