PreludeDrew, Kush Deck or JaredTheGreat? Wondering what people are running out of the three ICS roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I installed Team Blaze's (Jared) newest ICS last night and was running Drew's prior to. I would say at this point they are almost the same... each one is making improvements... As for my experience... Jared's is solid and I haven't ran into anything broken. There are some things a little buggy (like TTS errors when opening Navigation, but TTS working just fine) but I haven't found anything broken. They are all working on making the camera better and it works on Jareds. These aren't final releases so I am good with what I have! Can't wait until these things get smoothed out as ICS is tight.
Jared The Great all the way baby.
ICS Question
I have been following these ROMS.
At least on the home screen they appear to be still pretty buggy.
I don't know if the MMS is working, the camera, all that stuff.
Just curious if someone can tell me what I need to expect after installing.
I am currently using Synergy non-god mode and hate it. It is SO LAGGY. It takes a good 15 seconds to get the icons to populate my home screen. I need a new rom and was wondering if these were worth switching too.
Thanks all.

Jared's ICS rom has camera [no video or panoramic], mms works, ect. Go for it.
Can't take video? Hmmm...May have to wait a bit longer. Thanks!!

Switch to MIUI. It is the fastest, most customizeable rom out there.
You may not like the no app drawer thing. But i just made a folder and put all the apps not on my screen in there. Now thats my app drawer!

He was asking about ICS not MIUI if I'm reading the first post correctly. MIUI fanboys are as bad as apple fanboys...
I'm running Deck's alpha 5 and it's really solid. Trebuchet is buggy but that's a known issue and the solution is to run Nova instead. It's definitely worth flashing an ICS ROM to get a feel for how they are.

I have run both Jared's and Drew's. Both solid build... both buggy as hell. They are still working on them. To be honest... the best one right now will probably be the one with the latest release.
Decks Alpha 5 for me with CoD tweaks. I haven't tried any of the other ones but this one is rock solid for me. There are quirks but any rom has those. Honestly I have better battery life on this then I ever have had before.

Uh yeah i know wut he was asking..i can read too. But ics isnt that great. Its gb with a theme and add that quick app thingy.
MIUI is actually different in looks as well as useability. And Im not a fanboy. It just is the best all around rom. Alot of people dont like the iphone like no app drawer as do i. But once u have one in miui it is by far the best rom available. For sure it is the least laggiest evo rom. And by the way these are facts. And if u disagree u must be a ics fanboy or just a straight up MIUI hater. Bu bye!

Gentlemen, best is predetermined to be biased upon your own preferences; there is no right answer here. Yes, ICS does have some nice features, like improved voice commands, better folder management, ect. And for MIUI yes it is a lil 'iphone' like in essence, but different from all the rest. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you change the launcher, you fix the 'no app drawer' issue, which some people tend not to like.

Yea ur right. There is no right answer. I was just telling the guy on synergy that was laggy. That miui has no lag. And that other guy starts saying im a fanboy, thinking im referring to the OP. When i clearly quoted who i was replying to, and it got me in a **** talking mood. Sorry..my bad
And yea u can install a different launcher, but it takes away the uniform of MIUI, so i just made me a folder on the dock and put all the apps not on my screen in it

This might be a real stupid question but when I recieve a call I get about a second of my normal ringtone with the contact photo displayed and then it goes to a screen with a dancing android man, plays "stayin' alive" and displays some text saying about invalid video ringtone something yadda yadda.....
I'm sure it never did this before and I can't find any settings for changing a video ringtone or videocalls in general and can't find the animation in phone.apk ??
It does it on all calls, with or without a contact photo.
I'm running apex rom but can't find anything in the apex thread to explain this....
Does anyone have this happening or is it normal and i'm just being a tit
That sounds like malware mate. Have you been installing dodgy apps?

Maybe it's a hidden rom feature?

No dodgy apps, downloaded plenty of wallpapers and assorted crap from all over the place so not sure if its malware or not ?? Why do ya think malware cos its not doing anything wrong(the calls still work fine) just got this friggin dancing disco droid going on !!

Glad to provide some entertainment lol
I've not seen it mentioned anywhere in the rom thread so don't think its part of that and also I'm sure it was working normally SINCE I installed the ROM.
The main reason of my post was to see if anyone else has this, or has had this ?
Well maybe not malware as such but adware. From the way you describe it it sounds like an app is intercepting your call and displaying an overlay that will probably try to do dodgy stuff if you follow its advice. I would highly recommend going through your app list and see if there is anything that shouldn't be there, especially an app that requires permission to read your phone state.

Sorry... I got nothing for ya in the way of advice.
But if a video of this should find it's way into this thread I'd love to see it! lol
I don't have that issue but if u go into root explore and go to system/media there a video folder and I saw it has the Android in space video and I think it has the dancing Droid but I don't understand whey they're there. It has them on all 4.0.3/4 roms.

No its not in system/media . I'll try and get a video but I need three phones, one to call it and one to video it!

They are used for the Camera overlay effects. Google provided, so nothing nasty
Right I've solved the issue but I'm not really sure how. I deleted maybe 3 or 4 apps that I didn't really use and I also did a dalvik wipe( for another reason) . I hadnt recieved a call since and i went to video it for you guys and now I have no disco Droid! I think it was the dalvik wipe which solved it but I'm not sure why?
In a strange way I kind of miss that funky Droid now!!
This link shows pretty much whst the droid did but it was different music and the incoming call screen had the contact photo top left and a answer/end keys at the bottom....

Hey guys, is it possible to combine these two ROMs? As in, add sounds and wallpaper to a jellybean ROM? As a test, I saved the deep sea live wallpaper from TouchWiz on my SD card and then tried to install on JB. It didn't work. Also tried saving the alarms, ringtones, and sounds from TouchWiz on the SD card and then moving them back into system while on JB. didn't work, and my phone crashed. I understand that Samsung apps will not run on a JB rom, but this also applies to the sounds and live wallpapers as well?
I love TouchWiz features , but think JB is a much snappier ROM. It would be great to see a combo ROM.
No one is going to spend the time or resources to do such a thing. Sorry bud but don't keep your hopes up. The probability of this happening is slim to none.

Time + resources =about 10 minutes, a phone w/ root explorer/windows PC w/7zip. Not exactly rocket science. Hell took longer to upload to my dropbox on this God awful network then it did to throw it 2gether
Thanks for the zip. Everything works but I have to reinstall the deep sea live wallpaper each time I reboot. Anything else I need to do? I tried wiping dalvik and cache as well as fixing permissions.

After dirty flashing the cm10 8/12 build, the wallpaper sticks and works good.
Now for a new feature... Haptic feedback. I hate how heavy cm10 haptic feedback is. Is this something that can be adjusted or moved from tw?
Does anyone know if there is a working app mod or hack to enable the incredible2 to have nexus-like on-screen buttons and disabling the lights and functions of the hardware buttons like on ParanoidAndroid has it?

This is the main reason I stick with PA. If someone can mod the framework of the rom you are using, it may be option, but most of the roms don't have that built in. You might mention it in the thread of the rom you use and see if someone can hook you up.
Yeah, I'm wondering if maybe you can copy and paste the frameworks folder from PA rom to the other rom and if that would activate the on screen buttons.
I doubt that would be a good idea, but I'm not the one to answer that one.

@Phantom: according to this thread it's just a matter of decompiling framework-res.apk, making some changes and then recompiling the whole thing, which is why I'm thinking maybe it is as simple as copying/pasting the apk.
@Tricsuit: Yeah, I know. I already learned my lesson and before attempting stupid ideas like this one, I run a full back up of the rim, settings, apparently and data, and then make sure to save the back up file in my box to be able to retrieve it from my computer just in case something else hiccups.

Thanks for the share m8, I will try to look into this one more over the weekend. If you decide to give it a go with a copy and past let me know how it works out.
Yeah, I'm on call for the next couple of days so I won't be able to play with the rom, but if I'm able to make it work I'll post it here. :beer:
Welp, I began to toiler around with this, succeed in decompiling res-framework.apk, changing the bools, arrays and dimens values and added the menu images, basically all the way down to step 5, but I can't seem to recompile it back into .apk... uhm... a little help guys? ^^;
I've posted this issue on multiple threads and I've gotten little to no response. I understand why though--its really not a major issue, unless you really love cm roms and final fantasy games. So here's the problem, which I've ONLY encountered playing final fantasy dimensions on a cm based rom: when I enter into a random battle and I'm in the "fighting mode" of the game, the screen goes black. I can't see anything. The rest of the time everything is fine. This only happens in fighting scenes. It really sucks because I LOVE pac man rom, as well as other cm based roms, but I hate having to restore a tw backup just to be able to play that game.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I tried toggling the "disable hw display" switch already, btw.
Thanks all!

#1 thing to consider - clear the log (su, logcat -c), play the game until you reach that point and exit out. Dump the log (logcat -d > /sdcard/whateverfile.txt), zip it up and try posting to see if people can help figure it out.
Someone elsewhere had suggested that the notification bar in landscape is what causes this to happen. See if you can disable (or hide it) so that it doesn't try to pop up and see if that helps.
Ok. Here's something strange. When I enable the Notification Bar, I can see battles again! Does anyone have any idea what could cause this or have any ways I can fix this without the Notification Bar on? It only happens on CM based roms.
