Darkside Evolution Beta3

Is without a doubt, the best rom I've tried yet. Just wanted to give props and show off a screenshot. The only thing I've found wrong with this rom is that is so damn perfect, I feel like there's nothing more I can do to it to tweak it or improve it
Well, the only thing I would like to figure out is how to make a live wallpaper based on the screenshot below with wiggly Cthulhu tentacles! RAWR!
Well I can't post images so included a file for those interested in seeing it in action but haven't flashed this goodness yet.

It is a wonderful rom.
As far as live wallpapers, you'll need to know some coding. Google hak5 live wallpaper. They have a decent tutorial. I'm on my phone right now and can't seem to find it
Good luck

Thanks for the hint in the right direction. I've been estranged from Java for a while because most recently been using Ruby, might have to dust off my Java memory banks.
Thanks!

It shouldn't be too hard to relearn. They say you never forget. best of luck

my phones screen won't dim or turn off.... It will dim or turn off after the initial boot, but afterwards whenever the screen turns on it will remain on forever. does anyone else have this issue?

Do you even use your phone? Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage? I'm a little skeptical about that.
As for the ROM, I took a look at the changelog and most the problems I was having seem to have been fixed! Going to try beta 3 as soon as my phone is done charging.

28, but close guess. How was anything i typed egotistical? I require proof before I believe outlandish claims, probably why I'm an atheist...
edit: proof was provided but it was tainted, thus i see no reason to retract my statement.

Also having excellent battery life. Almost always connected to wifi as well.
So I started researching live wallpapers... got a set of three that I will be releasing that go along with the dark side theme!
Vader and the clown from Stephen kings "It" appearing and fading into darkness and wiggly cthulhu tentacles!
Stay tuned!

Smoother than a baby's bottom, but I might go back to beta 2 for the battery life. I had about 12 hours clocked at 70% for beta 2. Same usage on beta 3 left me at about 80% after only 5-6 hours

I just have my phone tu run slow and it would not use that much battery... Try it and you will see

Just a heads up... when running the powersave governor, you're forcing your CPU tonrun at the minimum. So in fact your CPU doesn't run above 384mhz. I am sure that its pretty laggy. Also the device itself will force cpu1 offline when not needed.

Based on what I have learned from reading and personal experiences, I would say that there is no "one-size-fit-all" for the best way to save battery. My wife and I have the same devices (T989), and I have both of theme tweaked different; different roms, kernels, etc.
Even though these devices are "identical", the set up I have on my device saves me lots of batter; I can go anywhere between 18 to 48 hours depending on usage and other factors. Same set up on my wife's phone wasn't as effective. However, the way I have her phone teaked, works best for her but not for me.
I would say that it really all depends on how you use your phone, settings, tweaks, widgets, sync, etc.

Please everyone enough with negativity! In my opinion using profiles for ocing and ucing in addition to juice defender is the way to go
I use OC/UV Beater on BM 5.1 ROM.

Keep your phone in your pocket lol

Best Rom

Trying to get s census of the best rom people use I've heard CM 9 and AOKP are some of the best. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Du you want subjective answers? We can only say what we think, and those ROMs might not be what you like.
I run AOKP but don't really like it anymore. Just haven't been bothered with switching ROMs now when my summer job takes away most of my time and I'm tired like hell at the end of the day.

Yes I want to know what others think. Any reason why you don't like AOKP anymore?

"AOKP tips", aokp this, aokp that. Also, the pink unicorn bull**** is too much for me right now.
It's too gayed up and contains far too much bloat and crap I couldn't ever see myself in need of.
At first, I tried not to mind and stayed with AOKP for some time (since build 28) but I have to change ROMs soon. Just gonna find some time to do it. Maybe this Friday after work. Luckily, I quit at 1 pm every Friday

My new hero!
I tried AOKP ONCE and I just frankly didn't like it.
I choose to use CM9 RC1 for now, but I will probably jump back to Trinity Kernel and RasCream ROM, I like the speed and I don't mind the average battery life.

I get 3 weeks out of one charge with my Nexus. But its on Airplane Mode all that time. CM12 - Best ROM so far.
Sorry... I see these threads all the time & I never reply. But I guess its just a pointless thread so I wanted to put a pointless answer.

They all drain pretty quickly
I think it's less about the right rom/kernel and more about using something like juicedefender or go power management from the play store. They help automatically switch stuff on and off that eats battery quickly.

In my experience definitely not true. At work I have a hit and miss signal. If I leave 3g active the battery drains really fast while the phone is sleeping. Like 10% in an hour sometimes. Turning on juice defender which for me is just disabling data while the screen is off. The battery will not move in the same amount of time. Maybe 1% will be gone.
I believe it is because the phone keeps trying to grab a signal in the weak areas.
Whatever it is there is for sure a huge difference. I have tested many times. Can hardly get through the day sometimes if I leave data on.
The thing I hate about it is a lot of the time the phone takes forever to reconnect so I have to wait every time I wake it.

i use my phone a lot for web, music, calls, messaging, social app, and the best kernel i used and put in my rom (but for maguro) is Trinity Kernel 1344 cpu / 384 gpu Stable35. i advice this kernel . for the rom a stock rooted, busyboxed, deodexed, zipaligned and with useful build.prop tweak for battery life. this has been my philosophy for my rom and i'm very satisfied

Lags

Hey. After I flash a new rom, the phone is super quick and respones very well. Buy after a few days, it starts to get laggy. When I am presaing the soft keys it takes a couple of seconds to respond, apps loading times can reach about 20 seconds, contacts loading too. I am using the GSM Gnex with CNA 3.8 rom and franco kernel r298. The lags occurred with XenonHD too. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining about the developers, I am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

Are you rebooting your phone or just leaving it on for weeks at a time?

I remember someone saying it has to do with the zram optimizations in roms and kernels. at first it makes things faster and the the idea implemented is good in theory but over time it makes things unbearably slow. i dont know the technical reasons for this, someone with more knowledge than me may be able to explain it.

Obviously downloading from the Play Store is using system resources (RAM, a % of the processor etc.) so a slow down is to be expected.
The phone restarting itself =/= to rebooting it regularly. Just like your computer you shouldn't leave it running 24/7. Sometimes you just need to give your phone a restart.

I think the lags are related to the heatcof the Gnex. Maybe the my cheap case makes it worse. I will check without case so it have more contact with the air. I will report the results.

I've noticed the same lag after few days. It's really frustrating to see your phone very fast and then kind of choppy....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

It looks almost like a memory leak. (That was a big problem on exynos devices runing cm10). It happened to me today (latest nightly cm10), Once my free ram was less than 100 mb the phone became noticeably less responsive.

Sane here!!! Thought it was just me... lol. I was running black bean baked! I love it but became super laggy! Almost threw it across my room lol. But just clashed slim bean and hope its bad ROM coding :-/.

I understand that custom roms do have great features but let me tell you something, after I switched from the S3 I decided not to flash any rom, I just used the nexus toolkit to root it and of course install franco kernel, since then the experience has been amazing, I'm just very careful with the apps I install, cheers!

I've experienced the same on about every JB setup I've tried. A reboot tends to purge assets and get me truckin' again for several days though.

I recommend keeping it stock you people, stock almost never lags unless u use the google+ app

Let me just chime in with the same advice as the previous poster: Try the stock rom. 99% of your problems will magically disappear.

Yup u are right. Many people used to tell that Franco kernel is the best and stuff but even that after using for a few days gets slow whereas in stock all that crap doesn't happen. I still use Franco because games work smoother on it compared to stock. Even the battery life is inconsistent. Just try stock after weeks and Franco right after a reboot still stock will be overall faster and smoother.
