Oh Yeah!!! Thanks for the info! JUst upgraded to CM9 And it is working!!!

Which one have you used, mate? And have you come across problems (battery charging)?
And... Can you explain to me why is ICS such a huge hit? I kinda don't get it... Is it that much better looking than GB? Anything else, anything more?

I'm using the ICS Rom for defy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353003
So far i didn't came into any problem. The battery is working fine, charge up to 100%. Except for the Microphone(for apps) and Camera.
ICS is the latest android version, Which I Think only Nexus S2 has it. (correct me if I'm wrong). In terms of looks, It is AMAZING! User interface is also very good. In my opinion, my phone now runs faster than my stock android 2.3.6 as i now have more free RAM.

I guess I really have to check it out Thanks for the reply!

i think you meant galaxy nexus but afaik the nexus s has it too. anyways, the ics is a significant milestone in android history, kinda like android 2.0. redesigned UI (with the beautiful holo theme), a bunch of new features. for example: native hardware accelerated UI (the gpu renders the effects and animations, and this makes them much smoother), native multi-core cpu support, and loads of other stuff. of course, with our locked bootloader, we only have some of these features, since were stuck on froyo/gb kernel. but its definitely worth a try, even in this unstable/alpha version

wma support?
Can you add .wma support in the music player?
Thanks for an awesome rom btw, i have been waiting for a sense 4.0 rom

Is there any link for the kernel by itself or is it only available as part of the installer package? And does it include the battery fix and calibration fix? Thx for the great progress, looking forward to a stable release.

Does Wi-Fi work now? Its something like this in the changelog, but wifi is not under "Not working" ?!

Will you be bringing 720p recording to this rom?
I'd vote for the Google apps on /system/app to be moved to /data/app as once they update they'll go there and just use space in /system. Also, I'd vote to remove the bulky Laputa and car padding but each to his own

Hey, v3 does install via recovery with fastsy hboot but gets stuch on one x animation screen, after lots of battery pulls didnt help, i know you tested it but im not sure how far ya went with install....

In my opinion its better now to wait for an official update from shaky himself. And stop downloading and installing the previous releases. I know that he knows what he is doing !

Suggestion on building the rom
I don't think it a good idea to support all kinds of HBoots at such an early stage of building the ROM--they only increase the trouble in testing for now.
My personal suggestion is to set down to FATSYS, or plus Stock at most.
When the ROM gets stable, more HBs could then be added for wider support...
Perhaps i'm just too urge to see your fantastic works...

I personaly agree with you. I think it's better to get a working ROM from Shaky on one or maybe two HBs at the most, because it's a lot easier to change your HBoot than developing an entire ROM for each individual HB at the same time.

This is because we are using Sense 4 Lite, which is the version on the One V. Sense 4 Lite only has 5 homescreens, and does not have leap view. Sense 4.0 does have leap view and have up to 7 homescreens which you can remove and add. Also, HTC removed the rotation as its a gimmick to them in Sense 4

It's present in the code. But its disable by HTC. I believe the only way to access it is to plug it into a HDMI tv and use HTC MediaLink HD.

HTC Sense vs. AOSP

I think the only reason to use Sense is for the Rosie.

I like the keyboard. Widgets are cool. Sense camera app takes better pictures too.

For some reason, with all the added bloat and all, the Sense 4 ROM namely UKB runs smoother than the AOSP ROMs in my opinion. The AOSP ROMs are smooth at the beginning, but they start getting sluggish soon. Sense 4 gets sluggish too, but I find it manageable. Plus it doesn't have a few bugs that annoy me on ICS ROMs.

In my opinion the Sense camera and the beautiful widgets are the only advantages.
AOSP is so much faster and more responsive...period. And many things about Sense are illogical and frustrating.
I guess you could say I like AOSP more because it makes more...sense

Sense vs AOSP is all about personal preference. The only way you'll figure out which you prefer is to try a couple of each and see what makes you happy.

AOSP. End of Discussion for me.

Sense it just too frilly and too much eye candy for me. (Sense 3.5-). I love stock 4.x
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

HTC Sense is good for camera. I found No autofocus without HTC sense.
Anybody know good ROM with autofocus without HTC sense .

A while ago, I would've said that Sense is more responsive in the keyboard department. But with the latest Sense ROMs I've used (UKB, IC Tazz, ArcticIcsed, EclipticSense, etc.), I find that the Sense ROMs don't feel as responsive as AOSP ROMs when the keyboard is concerned. Plus, Sense focuses too much on eye candy and is too flashy for me.
So the only benefit Sense has that's better than AOSP is the camera since the features and quality excels compared to AOSP.
If only HTC removed a lot of the bloat save for the essential ones and made the rest downloadable at the Play Store or HTC Hub.
But still, I think the devs are truly awesome for making the awesome ROMs I've tried and used.

I think that sense 4 looks great. However it uses a lot of RAM, and can be slow on lower end devices.
But ICS/JB looks even better compaired to vanilla gingerbread. And its always very responsive (Even after it starts to slow down).
If the sense 3.6 ICS OTA can give me at least 250mb of RAM. Then ill go with that. (If the OTA can get 250mbs of RAM, I know that we could get 100% functional sense 4 that has at least 200mbs of RAM.)
Anything else ill use CM 10.
This is all depending on if we get ICS.

I actually hated the stock rom with my Dinc2 and that was the only reason I rooted my phone and just not a fan of the sense roms. Since rooting my phone I have tried CM 7.2, CM 9, and I am currently using Paranoid Android 1.98. I liked ICS but after using the Hybrid JB I am hooked. Granted there are a few bugs with the JB but as far as looks and smoothness I just can't move away from it. I have yet to try a Miui rom...I hear they are great too.

I think this speaks for itself when it comes to sense4.
Sent from my vivow using xda app-developers app

Yeah, using RAM usage as a metric of system performance seems a tad naive. I experienced sluggishness on both Sense and AOSP even with loads of free RAM. On the other side, I also observe that while Sense 4 may use more RAM to keep all their fancy graphics/textures and stuff in memory, I also experienced a much more snappy response on Rosie. I do feel that Rosie is a far better launcher than the ones bundled with AOSP ROMs... After loading a lot of widgets, those launchers start to stutter a bit too often, but the stuttering is infrequent with Rosie. However, I am high on Sense4 of late and I am possibly a bit biased. But, isn't that expected in a thread asking a question of personal preference? As far as the standard bloat is concerned, as noted above I too manage to run the Sense 4 ROM with an average of 200-250 MB of free RAM. I do remember AOSP taking about as much. My only criticism of Sense 4 is the poor Email app, but that is readily rectified using the stock Email app from ICS. My gripe with AOSP is the lack of an inbuilt timer (I use it often), the lack of a FM app (I rarely use it but as a matter of principle, I frown upon Google and the whole AOSP front for not being able to make a working FM app... the one in CM7 is just way too buggy that and there isn't one useful app on the market either)...
I'll be back with more gripes later. Peace.

[Q] what are the weakness of 4.1+ roms

Hello,
I have a arc s (lt18i) currently running ICS 4.0 (ultimate HD). I am considering switching to a 4.1+ but I have questions about what I am going to lose.
I read some disadvantages of 4.1+ roms, and I want to have precisions/informations about that :
HDMI is not possible with these ROMs. What is the exact cause of that ?
HD video recording (720p) seems not to be possible. Is that true ? it would be a great incovenience for me
Does the overall camera quality is the same as with ICS roms ?
thanks on advance for your answers.

Some games like NFS MW works smooth while little games like Candy Crush just lags a lot & crashes..

Agreed with both @Attitude.SSJ and @xkifah.
On JB, had been using SJB8 and Slimbean511 for quite a while, I'm afraid the sony camera (ICS) would be very much better.
I think SJB is stable and Slimbean is beautiful.
Try using the LuPuS(FULL) kernel for taking better foto / video.

most cm roms won't let u record 720p and for normal photos I don't know but photos taken with Sony camera just feels better than those taken with Google camera but there's a plenty of alternative camera apps on the market and some of them have really nice features in the end i guess that the goods surpass the bads so why don't u try it yourself as it wont do u any bad and see the difference yourself

4.1 most cm roms fastest than others but my think gaming better than others, for usual use its bad to using bro
