[Q]FB17 Vibration intensity

On the FB17 ROM (Calkulin's rooted), and Rogue 1.2.1 FB17 Kernal, my vibration is sucking really bad. I even downloaded a vibration app to test it, and I can barely feel it on max.
I restored back to Blazer 4.0 to see if it was my phone damaged in some way, and it worked perfect on Blazer.
Is anyone else having this problem? And is there any fixes for this, such as an app to increase vibration intensity?
Thanks in advanced for any help!

I think I remember reading that this is just a bug with the ICS leaks. I don't think a fix has been found.

I've asked dev's but none really gave me a straight reply like they knew. But thanks for the quick answer, i'v been looking at some of the framework but don't see anything that has to do with it.

I am on the FB21 version and it is having that problem still... its just a known bug, and will undoubtedly be fixed with future leaks/the official release

vibrate...
I was on stock rooted FB17, then stock rooted FB21, then Blend FB21 and I keep having this issue. This kills me bc I work at an airport and usually depend on vibrate with calls and texts. I know it's an early stage for these ICS leaks but how great the GB roms had become has spoiled me. I just pray for a fix soon bc it's the only issue that has bothered me and I dont think a workaround exists.

I am bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution. I am absolutely in love with the ICS roms, but every single one I try has this issue. Even CM9 3.1 has it (even though interestingly 2.0 did not...)

I might just go back to GB as my daily til it is fixed.

Just letting you know that I posted a slight fix in another thread. It's the app -sound manger- I'm back on GB right now but I said slight fix BC others have reported that it's still not as intense as before.

[Q] Best ICS Port Rom?

Even tho i promised myself that i won`t flash any other ROM till an OTA ICS, but my urge to try ICS became almost unstoppable. So my question is simple, which ICS port is the best to be a DD? Please report your opinions, thank you.
And sorry for another ICS post, I just had to

yea I second that!!

raver's blackedition for me so far.

I'm still on Racings's original skyrocket port. I tried Easydoesit but was unstabble for me for some reason (even after several wipes/flashes) so I restored a nandroid of Racing's and I think Im done messing with these until the official ICS update rolls out OR one of the devs fixes the naggy little problems we have right now.
I'm very happy with Racing's Rom, its definitely a suitable DD for me. If Instagram worked I'd have practically no complaints! Hope that helps

Yup. This one is best till now for me in all aspect.
I move today to perfection just to give a shot .
But racers 1st original has best battery life and stability too.

easydoesit v2.2 was really stable for me...for most of the issues, i just wiped cache and fixed permissions and reboot and they were no longer there (the reboot/shut down bug or a couple of FCs)
i really wanted to stay on ICS because it was so smooth and the interface just looked so much nicer..."orientation control" is the app i chose for my auto-rotation work around...it puts a toggle in your notification bar and all you have to do is click on it and select portrait or landscape...this was actually better than auto rotate for me because on GB sometimes my apps would auto rotate when i didnt want them to when i barely tilt my screen
the ONLY issue and reason why i reverted back to GB is because you cant force orientation in the camera app...i got tired of rotation pics after i took them and you can't flip recorded videos so you have to record them in landscape mode
oh and for some reason i couldnt get root explorer to mount properly...it would mount but if i deleted anything it would magically reappear...but some people said they got it to work
thats as stable a ICS rom as your gonna find and the dev responds almost immediately

Ravers or easydoesit

[Q] Help with ROM please

realizing the "official" ICS update may never come (at least for a long time), I have played around with a few ROMs so far - both ICS-based and GB. For some reason, each and every ROM I have tried offers some kind of glitch - at least on my phone - sometimes the phone won't boot back up, some ROMS won't connect to certain T-Mobile services, etc.
While I certainly realize that the DEVs work feverishly to cook these things (which I definitely appreciate), does anyone out there have any recommendations for a pretty solid ICS ROM for the T989?

I have been on Darkside Beta 5 for over a week, in my opinion it is very stable, no call echo and the rotation is clean. There is the Wi-fi issue, but then again every ROM has that problem.
Everyone will have different opinion's but it is my preferred ROM.

Darkside UCLE2 Beta 6 is the least buggy out of all of them from what I have experienced. If u want GB then Digital Warfare is by far the best for battery and overall smooth operations. Since I use my GS2 for work day in and day out - I prefer to just run Digital Warfare 2.7..

Beta 6 like the last guy said. We'll get official sometime, but it won't be as good as tdj's

Yes DARKSIDE.UCLE2::[BETA06] soon to be 7 install today with Blaze radio nothing went wrong and even tried that lc8 just for fun both work where i live can turn 4g on and off fast nice even install S voice from the Gs3

Questions go in the Q&A section

Official ICS is coming in 9 days bro, be careful saying "never"

[Q] This is driving me nuts..CM9/FXP123

Hi all,
Just recently flashed the new FXP123 build and the newest CM9 nightly. I am having an issue with both. As some may or may not know, the new FXP123 build came with a new kernel. This new kernel doesn't allow overclocking and seems a little sluggish.
My solution was to flash a different ICS kernel (KeICS v2, Darkforest v5, DooMKernel v3). Upon flashing a different kernel, WiFi would be broken. When I would attempt to turn it on, it just stays at "Turning Wi-Fi on..." indefinitely. When I reflashed the new FXP123 kernel, WiFi would be restored.
Are these new CM9 builds not compatible with other kernels? It seems odd that both FXP and the new CM9 nightly both have this issue. I've tried flashing the kernel before and after wiping data for a new ROM install, wiping after flashing, etc. I've tried using the different command in fastboot (fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot <boot>.img). Nothing has worked.

Apparently FXP has changed the way wifi modules are loaded pax has said. Guess we just need updated kernels or patches. Solved?

Sluggish doesnt even begin to describe my experience with FXP123. It's my first time using CM9 so I can't compare it to previous builds, but holy crap is it slow.
Coming from CM7, I expected a small hit to performance but not to this extent. Everything takes 2-3 times longer to load or react on CM9 compared to CM7.
I hope this is just a problem with FXP123.

Try Aokp, it's latest build is based on fxp123 and is running smoothly without over clock, although I only have a few apps installed to prevent sluggishness

I really love CyanogenMod and after seeing the behaviour of some AOKP devs, I'd rather not support them.

Unfortunately the chat log was deleted but I'm sure if you dig into the comments, people have logs.
EDIT: I understand this is an unofficial AOKP port for the PLAY and is not developed by the assholes in the provided link (the same asshole who essentially stole a HP Touchpad and HTC resound from the dev community) , perhaps I should leave my prejudices at the door and try it.

I agree with trying it don't let the conduct of one or two of them take away from romans amazing talent. And as you said it's unofficial, so support our devs here.

Pax will be releasing new ROMs and Kernals shortly I believe that hold the old WiFi modules which should work for you guys. But noticed since I flashed the last kernal provided by FXP I have seen massivve improvement. Litrally my phone was on 30% battery. Put my phone next to my bed and today morning woke up seeing the battery was only down to 25 percent. So then I put it in charge and in 1 hour I see the phone's led is green indicating fully charged and surprizingly enough it was fully charged.

Rock-Steady ROMs?

All,
I want to root my Galaxy Nexus. The only thing keeping me from doing so are the potential bugs that I hear some ROMs have with some critical features.
Service/Reception
Data Connection
GPS
These are the three most important features to me that I do not want to be broken/buggy. In the past, many ROMs have had faulty GPS for me.
My question to you all is, what are some ROM/Kernel combos that are rock-steady in regards to my three criteria? I don't want to deal with workarounds or fixes. Anything that just works at the moment? (really only interested in stable releases)
Thanks!

I have had very few bugs on all of the roms I have tried. I would recommend bamfs paradigm rom or rascream. As far as kernels go as long as you try a stable release rather than experimental then you should be fine with most any devs kernel that you try. I currently use trinity kernels latest stable release.

Thanks for the heads up - I've never heard of Paradigm or RAScream. Any glaring differences between the two as opposed to say, AOKP?
People seem to rave about Franco kernel so I'd probably go with that one initially.

AOKP has a lot more added to it than either of the two I mentioned. Paradigm and Rascream are closer to stock with some useful options added. Rascream is more minimal, a few less options to keep the rom light, but it does have toggles, nav bar, and lockscreen options. Rascream is also themed and looks nice. No theme manager.
Paradigm is really nice, has some unique features that I haven't seen in any other roms. Unique pulldown toggles, lockscreen flashlight built in, navbar and lockscreen options. Next release will have theme manager.
Paradigm: http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3212-rom-bamf-paradigm-v125-404/
Rascream:http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/rascream/

Thanks for the great info. Theme managers matter little to me so those sound good. I do like the notification pulldowns, lockscreen options (although I use a PIN so most of those don't pertain to me).
One more question (been awhile since I flashed anything) -- I flash the ROM first, then GAPPS, and then Kernel, correct?
Also, I'm already unlocked. Once I root, am I going to be wiping my storage once again? Pictures, vids, etc.
Thanks!!

I have found Aokp to be super duper stable. It is fast and has absolutely no reboots or FCs.
I use B38 Aokp & Franco latest
I have never had any problems when flashing as I always follow the steps below.
Do a factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Then flash rom
Flash gapps
boot.
After signing into Google.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe cache & dalvik
Flash kernel
Reboot
If already unlocked then you will not lose data on sd card when rooting.

Rock-steady ROMs
I have been very pleased with TranquilIce 8.0. Smooth, clean, steady, and full of customization options.

Yes that is correct. Read the threads though because some roms have gapps included (rascream) or specific gapps that go with the rom (paradigm)

I've used AOKP, RASCream, and CM9. None of which had any show stopper bugs.

Anyone have problems with MMS on any of these?
The root (no pun intended) of all my concern stems from my old EVO 4G days when many things were usually broken. It's good to see all of this stability now.

This phone is rock solid in general man, I know what you mean though - I came from the Sensation which had lots of broken things and buggy roms. The GN is a beast though.

Sweet!

imo bugless beast has the best combination of stability and battery life

all roms.and use stock kernel to avoid data drops bug etc.haven't ever had this,but many users had.IMHO you can go without preoccupation,nothin so hard or bad.if you have at least some of these problems you can change kernel and try,raise min cpu to 700,etc etc.they aren't nor tricks,noe escamotage,simply a good way to achive thatproblems.not things that a nooob\lazy users can't do.
personally i use blackice rom+glados kernel.tried all roms e kernel,many many rom are fast and stable,some with many many features,some with a bit,but i haven't ever found an instable rom or withy many bugs.only stock kernel and stock rom i haven'e ever used,fdlashed custom's after 2 minutes that i buyed this phone.cheers

I use ICSourcery. Haven't had any issues with it and you customize it pretty good too.
