Welcome! I'm using nexusmod ICS and loving it so far. It's been almost one week. Good battery life, very smooth. There are some minor bugs but it has become my daily driver so nothing critical.

Both are working very well. There is a big lag the first time you open the camera, but it doesnt reappear after

Use the super wipe and then let rom sit for 10 minutes after boot up. And for apps I recommend apex launcher for more of an aosp feel also grab the HD YouTube here on xda just search u will find it

If you want stability and speed, battery that goes, camera, wifi,
goldfinger NexusMod3 and RaverX3X BlackEdition are rock solid... you can flash a modem that you like, just make sure to delete the system folder within the .zip.

Been using ICS perfection for a few weeks now. Haven't noticed any bugs at all besides face unlock not working right, but honestly I've used it on my tablet, it doesn't recognize me half the time and just kinda annoys me in the end. So yeah, ICS perfection makes a wonderful daily driver, just use a Bluetooth headset otherwise the person on the other end will hear themselves echo like crazy

I've tested all, and nexusmod is by far the best one. Android stock keyboard works flawlessly. Apps don't crash, wiimote connects with no issues, battery is pretty good. Feels and looks like aosp. Aosp lock screen...etc. nexusmod will be my rom till a working aosp rom comes out for our phone.

Question, what ics radio/modem do I need to install? I read the installation instructions but they never suggest when to flash it. And the skyrocket roms indicate att radios, not Tmobile. That part is what confuses the hell out of me ...

I agree with this 100%..I am on the newest version of nexusmod and it is by far the best ics port out there.for my Telus version S2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Yes nexusmod is really good and stable. Its the best ics rom I've used so far and I've tested all ics roms. Vibration works perfectly the only downside with most ucld2 leak is the fix permission and reboot shutdown issue, which isn't bad you can just download quick boot from market. Ics perfection was okay but it lacks vibration and notification light up. Sky ics is nit bad either. But I prefer nexusmod

Chimera ROM?!?

I don't know a whole lot about this ROM or team passion, but I thought maybe starting a thread about it we could all learn a little / keep track of updates and progress. From what I've heard, they haven't built anything using our newly acquired source, but those who have ran what they have so far seem to love it.. What you guys think?

Its bad azz! but suffers from the same low call volume has iisues with wifi and I noticed my phone was getting hot also.
Other then that its a beautiful rom.

This install method is awesome but not all of the features worked for me... also a lot of ppl have reported that it doesn't boot ... I think the solution to this is u have to come from a 4.0.4 rom ...

I've tired flashing chimera atleast 10 times and I've never. Gotten it to work. Not even after countless help from other members, so I just gave up. Lol I heard it's a beast of a rom. Look up "ics passion" group on Facebook. That's their official group and they also have a website. I believe it's team-passion dot com but I don't really quite remember lol

If you are coming from a tw ics rom it most likely will fail. I flashed it from stock ics and it failed 4 times i then flashed a cm9 and the directly flashed this and it booted fine. I heard the dev say this as well
Also when u are installing in the beginning in aroma installer u can choose custom install and u can pick radios.
I was only getting signal with Kid radio

Trying it out now but rotation is backwards. Just disabled auto rotate now I'll check out the rest. Flashed over latest aokp not cm9 so that probably caused it.
While I appreciate the extra work making it with aroma, I really wish they didn't force their radio choices on you. I was doing just fine with my radio.

Using root explorer you can push your choice of kernel or radio in its respective places just looked in it to fix auto rotate you'd need to take libakm.so from cm 9 and push it to system/libs.

Is the official ice cream sandwich update any good ?

I'm tired of being on gingerbread but I'm pretty much dome with custom roms. I've seen a lot of people bashing the update so I never touched it but apparently they sent out another update a few weeks ago. Did it make things worse? How is the smoothness and battery life compared to stock gingerbread.

I'm a little biased, but I agree. I personally do not care for themed roms. I would prefer to make small changes myself and if I want a little theming, there are a few good launchers out that provide the theming that I need.

Im trying calkulin's 1.6 ics fe22 rom in the original development section. Yes its old. Yes theres recalk. His fe22 and el29 may be old but they are stable and ive not had any snafus yet.

Every time I try ics its still buggy for me. Sometimes the capacitive buttons don't work for a couple seconds, or the weird visual glitch in the task manager. None of it seems worth the hassel. JB is the way to go imo with project butter this thing is bulletproof. Yea they are a bit unstable which I realize I just complained about, but I think jb is worth it because you actually gain something compared to the ics update, where really the only thing you get is access to a couple apps (chrome etc) and instability. It gets rid of all the nice cosmetic changes ics made, and covers them with touchwiz. For the bone stock user, yea the ics update adds functionality (very little) but if you're rooted ics is a waste of time. That and the fact that no one can theme a rom to make this phone not look like a toy anyway.

We do appreciate the hard work developers contribute to our Hercules community. Other users preference is not a weakness.

I'm up for it. This seems to be the one rom that my phone works the best with and battery life is fantastic. I've tried several ICS roms and while I really like certain things about them, for whatever reason, they don't always play nice on my phone.
