Like I said ALL ICS ROMS ARE IN ALPHA STAGES THINGS ARE GONNA BE BROKEN some things will work sometimes and not work others some things wont work at all until they are fixed or new drivers are coded and compiled these ics ROMs are being built from the ground up for the evo there are no official drivers for this phone and never will be as we aren't getting the update officially its going to take time coding software doesn't occur over night it takes anywhere from a few hours to months to get stuff working on hardware that isn't officially supported

I've been running an alternate launcher called "Nova". Instructions on how to install are on the thread. I find this launcher to be more stable plus it has more options available right now, including centered scrolling wallpaper. Just search Nova Launcher if this tag doesn't work...I'm a greenhorn..

Instagram problems with ICS roms?

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with the newly released version of Instagram for Android? I'm running Racing's Skyrocket port of ICS, and Instagram keeps crashing. I don't know if maybe it has something to do with the auto-rotation being messed up?
I've also tried it with force gpu rendering BOTH on and off, no change. Instagram lets me take the picture, but crashes when it tries to load the picture up to edit or share.
The install pages says Instagram on any android device running 2.2 or later, and it works great on my wifes stock gingerbread T-989.
If anyone else is running an ICS rom on their T-mobile Galaxy S2, and has time to download and test out instagram would be much appreciated

Well the ICS ROMs we have are not totally stable so that may be your problem. I'm running ICS on my GNex as I type this and was using instagram about a half hour ago just fine.
Clear app cache, data or uninstall and then reinstall. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you may have to go back to a stable gingerbread ROM.

actually from log catting the crap out of instagram it seems to be a issue with the egl drivers seem to crash when trying to utilize it
going to try my open egl drivers for samsung see if it can clear some of it up.
Why dont i include them a im still building them and b 2d works flawless 3d how ever is still slow atm like with any linux open source drivers
Instagram also doesn't work correctly on my DHD running Ice cold sandwich 7. Takes images but the upper left corner shows the upper left corner of the previous image taken. The image preview also doesn't work and is a black screen unless you look at images from the gallery before hand, then the image preview works fine.
there is a bug !
on IS on Galaxy note when u try take pic from the gallery... then after u choose one photo its sending u back to the "where to take the photo" menu

Gallery Sync, Search Bar...How do I fix these little bugs after rooting...?

I'm enjoying my rooted Sprint GS3. Flashing has become so addictive that I find myself checking the several XDA threads hoping there is an update!!
Since I've flashed ParanoidAndroid, I have lost a couple features that I enjoyed...and wondered if others have experienced these, and if there are ways to fix them.
- Gallery no longer syncs with Picasa. It only shows my camera pics and screenshots.
- The permanent search bar now only shows a search magnifying glass. It use to say Google.
- In the launcher, the shortcut to the play store appears to be the old style (bag with an android head on it, instead of the play button)
Thanks for whatever!
GO JELLYBEAN!!
i don't think so i think its the rom...
Not sure why u got the old style market would love to know what gapps ur using. That being said I'm sure a third party app is out there for syncing picassa. Can't help u as I have never used my camera and gallery. And picassa sync only worked in the tw gallery. As for the search bar and market my attachment should do. Just flash in recovery. http://db.tt/MgwriNtp
Thanks for the tips.

You should look at the change logs for the ROM you're running. I'm running StrongSteve's Odexed Blue 4.7 (which, by the way, is awesome - gotta like blue though...) and have the old-school market icon (labeled Market too) as well, but you can see in his change logs from a previous version that was something he intentionally did. Everything you described, except the Picasa sync issue, could just be the way the dev themed their ROM.
I don't know what to tell you regarding your sync problem...
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know Picasa sync is broken in CM right now and PA is based of CM.

CM10 can we get media hub on this rom?

I'm interested in a few things but haven't been able to find media hub to download on the cm10 ROM.
Does anyone know if it's possible and if so where to find media hub for download?
It may require the touchwiz framework. Not for sure on that though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
So... if you look around enough you'll find a post or two with mediahub.apk linked to them. You can install it and it will run... but it will also crash on login, possibly because you also won't have the samsung login app. So, you could download a stock rom, unzip it and find the Samsung login apk (sorry, dunno what it's called), install it and see if Media Hub will run...
Once you have it running and you login you'll then undoubtedly try to play something like... The Avengers. This will fail to unlock as ALL of the backend encrypted video playback stuff is missing in CM10. I wouldn't begin to know how to suggest putting the DRM video playback stuff back into CM10. But, if you did, then it wouldn't be CM10 - it'd have proprietary, non-open source software in it. And that kind of defeats the purpose of CM10
What you could do is to do a full Nandroid backup of CM10 and of the Stock ROM and restore/run whichever you need based on your situation. Crappy solution but I don't think there's a better one which will guarantee you full, functional Media Hub.
Thank you for the feedback.

ROM Overhaul ......
Ok so I noticed that most of the ROMs that I have used here including my own has been recreating the wheel so I have decided to go back to my roots and make pure AOSP with only the "fixes" found here and from AOSP so my ROM has become "clean" and basically stripped of its samplings from other developers written code to pursue my own originality so if you want just a basic AOSP ROM here is where you can come.

Happy Holidays to All!!!
Running your latest build and its really smooth. I'm hoping the WiFi not reconnecting after tablet sleep bug is not present but it did take a while for it to reconnect.
Running the latest version, it resets every once in a while. Doesn't seem to be tied to any particular app or activity.
Thanks I will look into that at the moment I am in the process of updating and fixing some of the bugs I've found
Ok as an update my ubuntu partition crashed on me and I lost most of everything so I'm back to square one again ..... but I have decided to take a different path .... I see that no one has maintained a completely vanilla rom, by vanilla I mean no features, no google, just Open Source Android, so this is what I will be offering from here on out .... vanilla android with my own fixes and coding (the little that I know how to do) and I'm going open source also I have received some pm's about adding devices to my rom ... and the only devices I have are the spcs gnex and the N10 these are the only devices I will maintain for since I can't possibly troubleshoot for a device I dont have .... so for anybody that was using my rom thanks and maybe I can catch you on the vanilla side (you know after you get bored with your full featured CyOKPAMuzEOS beast roms lol)
alright I'm completely vanilla now, ROM posted in the OP also I may have corrected that wifi disconnect issue haven't had a problem with wifi sleep or random resets on my n10 so hopefully you won't either
Do you have your locations enabled and no restarts? I've been having restart issues on cm,paranoid,ect. Hoping your rom will resolve these damn restarts.

Flashed this build last evening, gesture typing doesn't seem to be working. I've tried clearing the keyboard cache/force stopping it with no luck. I even tried force stopping android system - just cause. Everything else seems rock solid.
after I uploaded the roms I realized that I enabled gesture typing but did not fix the driver .... as a temporary fix you can delete libjni_latinime.so and rename libjni_latinimegoogle.so to libjni_latinime.so it will will be addressed in the next upload

This I'd a very fast ROM. The keyboard fix worked fine. There is only one problem, the GPS doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks for the great ROM!

when you say gps doesn't work can you give me more details I'm using google maps now and mine is working just fine
No satellites are in view and no signal is received from them. I've rebooted a couple of times and it still doesn't work. When I flash other ROMS the GPS works again. I really like your ROM and would prefer to run it. I've checked with GPS test plus and GPS essentials and get the same result.
Is there a log or some tool I could use to get you more information?

[Q] DISABLE audio controls on lockscreen

I'm running Vanilla Rootbox 4.0 ROM, but this has bugged me with other ROMs for quite some time. I guess when 4.1 or 4.2 came out, Android started making audio controls on lockscreen available. That's wonderful for people that want them, but I HATE them. I've searched off and on for months to find out how to turn them off and all I ever find is people saying how glad they are to have them. No one seems to want to disable them completely, as I do. Can anyone please help me? I want the lock screen to look exactly the same no matter what apps are running on my phone.
What music player are you using (I'm assuming stock?) I honestly haven't seen a way on how to remove the stock controls except by using another music player. I use PowerAmp and I never get the lockscreen controls.
Hope it helps

ANYTHING that plays sound does it. The stock music player, Pandora, Slacker Radio. Heck, even Mort Player (audiobooks) shows the controls when it's running.

Hmmm that's odd.
And you've looked thru all the settings in both apps and ROM settings right?
It might be hidden in there somewhere.
I'm on AoCP and I never get the controls
Give it a shot

Boy I sure would be happy if it were that simple and I was just blind, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Closest thing I can see is in the AOKP settings (Rootbox is an AOKP and CM hybrid) for the lockscreen where it lists an option to control music volume with the volume keys from the lockscreen. This setting doesn't affect the widget though.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
I've been reading a bit about AoCP and I may just have to give it a run. I hate wiping my device and spending a whole day setting everything back up, but this issue is really irritating me and it seems like lots of people are very happy with AoCP.

Just use Tinanium Backup to make a flash able zip of all your apps or use the app alone to back up apps and data so that next time you flash it just takes you 3 minutes to set up everything

I've tried that and had it fail horribly on me in the past. The only time I've been able to restore backups made with TB has been when restoring to the same version ROM. A couple times I made a backup, flashed a completely different ROM, went to restore and was unable to. So I just don't even trust it anymore when it comes to flashing ROMs.
Question though since you're obviously knowledgeable about AoCP and I'm too much of a n00b to post in the AoCP thread. The thread says:
AoCP_I747_CP5.6 -dev host link
This is 3.4 kernel base and it is very stable
AoCP_I747_5.6-kernel -dev host link
Just so I'm clear here, do I need to install the top link AND THEN install the kernel link as well? I haven't messed with any ROMs where a separate kernel download was given, so I just want to be sure I don't cause more issues for myself.
Just download the ROM and gapps (which you should have if you've ran any 4.2.2 ROMs )
No extra steps or anything
5.6 should be the release right now.
There is more goodies coming really soon
But the dev.host link should be it

Thanks jayRokk. I got AoCP installed without issue. Not a bad ROM, though I prefer Rootbox better. Too many extras I've gotten used to, I guess. The bigger issue, however, is that I had the same issue with AoCP. The stock music app did not show any controls on the lock screen, but everything else did. I did a complete wipe before flashing and cleared davlik both before and after flashing, so I'm positive it's not some weird setting I have somewhere that's managed to carry over from ROM to ROM.
I am 100% with you on this. I hate the lock screen controls and can not find a single thread about deleting them. I'll watch this thread and let you know if I find anything.

Widget locker disables the notification bar when locked.... you do have to buy it though... I tried it and does work.

I don't want to disable the notification bar thou. I don't even want to disable all lock screen widgets just the music controls. I love dashclock. That's what I want of my default lock screen. If the music controls could even be moved to a second lock screen like the camera that would be awesome. I guess I should say I'm on CM. I have no idea how touchwiz handles these things.

Exactly this. While I certainly appreciate the responses from everyone trying to help, the idea of spending $3.00 on a 3rd party app just to fix what, IMO, is a pretty major oversight (just give me a setting in a menu to enable/disable it) is a very hard pill to swallow. I currently use Lockscreen Policy to disable the camera and all secondary widget screens. I've emailed the developer to see if they could add the ability to disable the music controls as well, but haven't heard anything back. ALL I want on my lock screen is time, date, battery and next alarm, which the stock locker and dashclock give me. If only I could disable the $%^#@ audio controls!
