About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs. A MCR release is designed to feel like a stock ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!
MCR Nexus ROM features Include... (many optional via the Online Kitchen) - check kitchen defaults for what is in the prebake :
- Based on the 4.2.1 / JOP40D release, updated, rebuilt, compressed and optimised with the MCR build system.Quote:
For this MCR we've used the latest available shipping ROM, updated with all the latest versions of the installed apps, which we've run through our scripts to ensure that it is as optimised as possible both for install / download size and real life performance. - De-odexed... re-odexable.Quote:
Our ROMs are de-odedex, giving you the ability to flash other mods over the top, tweak the system and generally get the system set up as you want it without worrying about odex issues. We also include the 'OdexMe' application, which lets you odex your system when you're ready, saving valuable space on your data partition. - Pre-rootedQuote:
All MCR ROMs are pre-rooted with SuperSU preinstalled. In addition, the kitchen allows you to choose between secure, insecure and secure with patched ADB boot images. - Enhanced Quick SettingsQuote:
The quick settings in Android 4.2 are cool, but limited. MCR builds include a customised version of the excellent 'Quick Settings' mod by kevdlui, allowing you to customise your toggles by holding the Settings button down. The WiFi and Bluetooth buttons are also changed to toggles - long press to access the settings menus. - Enhanced Power MenuQuote:
The enhanced power menu (the one that appears when you hold down the power button) has additional options to allow you to reboot and reboot to recovery. - Apps aren't disabled on bootQuote:
Jelly Bean added a feature to disable apps on boot that aren't intended for your region (Wallet, Ears, Magazines etc.). I think we're smart enough to make that decision ourselves right? So that doesn't happen in a MCR. - Legacy Play StoreQuote:
Isn't it frustrating how Google removed the ability in the Play Store to see which apps you'd bought in a nice simple list? I thought so... so I created 'Legacy Play Store', which has this feature. - Legacy browser and FlashQuote:
Google might be ditching the stock browser for Chrome and Adobe might have canned Flash, but we still need to use it sometimes... so it's included in a MCR. - Patched Google WalletQuote:
We've patched Google Wallet to remove all region and root checks, so you can have a play! - Facebook sync supportQuote:
Google removed all support for syncing contact information via the Facebook app, we put it back. It's basic support (an app like HaxSync is more fully featured) but hey, it works! - init.d support on bootQuote:
The init.d directory is processed on boot, allowing our (and your) startup script to be processed before the system starts up. - Alternative appstores (Amazon and SlideMe Market)Quote:
The Amazon and SlideMe stores can be preinstalled, if that's where you like to purchased your wares. - 'TweakDeck' - Tweetdeck, fixedQuote:
Tweetdeck was great. Twitter ruined it. It's fairly comprehensively broken on Android, but we've fixed it with TweakDeck. - Titanium Backup preinstalledQuote:
Once you've flashed your ROM, if you've wiped you want to get your stuff back on as quickly as possible - the option to preinstall Titanium Backup is here to help! - MoDaCo Boot LogoQuote:
Wear your MCR with pride with the MoDaCo boot logo. It can be disabled in the kitchen of course if you prefer the more subtle look. - And there's more!Quote:
We haven't listed everything here because a) there's too much and B) there's things we've forgotten.
- Trackball Alert Pro compatibility for custom notification LED coloursQuote:
Trackball Alert by lilHermit lets you choose custom notification LED colours for ANY app, with no impact on battery life. We work closely with lilHermit to ensure TBA is supported in MCR. - Alternative UI options (clickable when hidden menu keys with alternate locations, search button)Quote:
A number of different UI options are included - the default option makes the legacy menu button available on both sides of the screen for easy reach and also keeps them active when invisible, handy if there's a pesky menu button at the top right that you can't quite get too! You can also bring back the good old search button. Percentage battery meters are also included in stock style and round style. - NFC on screen offQuote:
If you use NFC tags to set profiles or similar, then the option to enable NFC on screen off might appeal to you. Be aware that we haven't benchmarked the impact this may have on battery life as yet though! - Toggle2G supportQuote:
This ROM is compatible with Toggle2G by TheMasterBaron, which allows you to auto toggle 2G / 3G states. This is now included as an optional kitchen option.
Quote:
| The stock launcher, with support for Landscape. So simple! If you're an Apex or Nova fan however, you can choose these to be baked right in to your ROM. |
Quote:
| A little something to help you see in the dark! |
Quote:
| You can disable the camera shutter sound - use responsibly! |
Quote:
| The T9 style dialler from CyanogenMod is included as an option for your use. |
Quote:
| Ensure you're on the latest baseband by including it in your ROM. |

Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).
And finally...
Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in the download topic at MoDaCo.
