which one is better? FB17 or FB21? i haven't had time to test fb21. if anyone has tested both. give me some info lol. thanks
I really don't see a large difference between them, however, when I installed the stock fb21 I got a couple launcher fc's that I didn't get on Fb17, but running TNZ's Blend ICS I haven't had any FC's at all and is running pretty smooth for a test build
They're basically the same. Pick your poison.
Is scrolling wallpaper back in ics ?

From what i hear the FB21 is alot worse than the FB17, but personally i am just sticking out with FB17 until the official release is out (for now).
I don't notice a difference between the two builds. Definitely stable enough for a daily driver in my opinion.
One issue I'd consider major is GPS though. After locking GPS and turning it off, it still says GPS locked in the drop down menu and murders the battery. A reboot shuts it up.
Definitely something to keep in mind.
I tested them both. I had more issues with 17 than I did with 21. Quarky things like BT bugs where i could connect to some devices and not others. Also, I could not get a lock on GPS with 17 and I could with 21. Both of these issues are hit or miss. It appears some users had the issues, and others reported that they did not experience it, or experienced it exactly opposite (21 to 17) of what I experienced. It could be a matter of the order in which you flash the modem and ROM or other factors during install.
Other than that, the only other noticeable difference between the two was that in FB21, a double tap on the home button launched VLINGO.
In either case, I am going to Calks 2.9.1 until we get a stable ICS ROM with recovery. Now that FB24 is posted, I expect that it may take some time. I have to take a break though...I think I sprained my flashing thumb.
thanks all. im just sticking with FB17 for now then
I Think they both are bad the 3g is so slow I have like .20 MBPS down and .13 up
its real nice to finally have some ICS goodness on my phone, but i have found some issues.
my Motorola Roadster 2 bluetooth speakerphone does not work well with this version of ICS. will not let me use the call/text button.
i am finding some apps not working correctly, i.e. Pushover - the notifications do not make a sound. Not sure if that is an app issue, or an ICS issue.
*edit* ok so it seems that i am not getting any notification sounds. sms, voicemail, etc...
also the volume in general does not seem as loud as the 2.3.6 firmware was.
anyone else find any issues?
*UPDATE* after wiping within cwmr most of my issues were no longer present. the only problem i had still was that notification sounds didnt work after a couple hours. i dont know the cause, but i used audio manager widget and set the profile to loud, and restarted phone. havent had them go out since.
I have all these issues except tue bluetooth thing

atleast it is not me.
i am going to reflash my phone to see if it may be an issue with not clearing out the phones memory and storage first...
My wifi didn't work for a while. It would see my access point but wouldn't connect. Reset the router and everything went back to normal. GPS works, Stereo BT/OBEX works, 4G works, camera works. Those were my big items, as I'm sure they are most people's.
My only issues are that I can't switch to 2g (At&t rom....) and how friggin Touch-wizzy everything is. I was expecting them to embrace the whole holo thing a lot more, but all the buttons feel like they belong in GB, same with the notification menu and the settings icons.
EDIT: I am on rogers, in case any rogers people see this so they know that everything works on our network
i wiped via cwmr and reflashed the ics rom. notifications work again. have not rooted yet, wondering if that may have been an issue with it...
Changing the lcd DPI causes the rom to corrupt i guess, since when i do it, after the reboot, i get to the samsung "logo" and then black screen, and it feels like the device has shut down. The only app that would say "success" when i change the value is Lcd Density Modder.
- i had the notification sound bug, but then i changed the notification sounds to my likings, and then i used Audio Manager widget to set the volume loud, no problems ever since.
ok rooted and all is fine. maybe i just had a bad flash. my bluetooth speakerphone still doesnt work, but that is an issue that i will have to research
For me, i had the only issue with ICS (excluding the known thing with the keyboard not flashing) - timezones from 2011 year with wrong summer times.
Luckyly fixed it with timezone fixer from google play.
Tethering doesn't work, seems to be broken and results in a blackscreen.. Both Usb and Wifi Hotspot give this issue.. Anyone else getting this
One weird thing my phone does is when it's been asleep for a while, the lockscreen clock will fall behind and when I wake it up, it'll catch up a couple dozen minutes at a time.

I've rogers version but unlocked and working with a local carrier. Wifi is not a problem at all, i'm getting the same speed and used wifi continuously for over 2 hrs to download all my apps back after the update.
When typing with the keyboard, pressing the alt. Key once makes it select all the special characters. I liked the older one where if you press it once, it operates just once when selecting the special character, and pressing it twice makes it select more than one. Not that big of an issue but to some people it may be.
Also, the brightness thing. When I turn off the screen, and turn it on again, it flashes from the highest brightness to the current.

On AT&T here, and having wifi issues as well... Once the phone drops wifi at idle, it doesn't want to pick it back up unless I turn wifi off and back on again. Setting the wifi to never sleep has been my only workaround.
Also having some issues with the button backlights. If I don't touch the phone long enough for the button backlight to turn off, touching the buttons won't turn the light back on. Touching the screen turns the backlight on again, but it's slightly annoying.
I haven't noticed any wifi issues and I use my Glide exclusively as a wifi device. I'm copying my backup of Inception v2 back right now though because the battery drain on the ICS ROM is definitely an issue. Losing like 10% an hour with my phone just sitting there with the screen off.

Have you ever took note of your battery life with a custom ROM or kernel? When I picked up my Glide it had a stock ROM but I only had it for an hour before I put a custom on it. I didn't mess with the stock one at all so I can't compare to stock 2.3.5/6. But with Inception v2/ardatdat, it was definitely better.
I was going to restore my backup but copying it back to my phone made me realize how painful it is to copy backups with CWMR 6 compared to 5. That new blobs folder makes so many files that it took 3 hours to copy 3 of my backups over USB. Ouch.
But since last night, the battery life seems to be behaving better. Its been sitting here and not just dying. I'm wondering if it could be the battery stats file. Maybe I'll try wiping it. I'm sure once we get a lower voltage kernel and I can underclock with profiles for the screen-off and stuff, it'll be fine again.
Unrelated but has anyone taken a screenshot with the ROM yet? ICS is supposed to have it built in, power button + volume down at the same time for a few seconds from what I read, but didn't seem to work.
Edit: Its home + power button at the same time.

when you flashed ICS did you wipe everything then run the ics installer? my first install sound and such didnt work, so i wiped the phone in cwmr and reflashed ics and it is better that it was on 2.3.6
Is anyone else finding their Galaxy Nexus feeling sluggish after the OTA update to 4.2? I'm sometimes even catching the screen being slow to turn on when I press the power button. Is this anyone else's impression as well?
Thanks,
Alan
Mine was slow the first minutes/hours due to setting up... After that, it's fast as riding through hell... Sometimes the CRT animation is a bit slow, but it's not that annoying..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah mines doing the same thing also... there's a few on here who's phones are a tad bit buggy after the OTA also. Not really a HUGE deal but I noticed mine is a little slower
I'm not experiencing much lag as far as applications go or scrolling but, as mentioned above, I have about a second delay on the CRT animation/locking of the screen. Not too bad but it does drive my OCD side crazy.
Everything is more or less absolutely fine. The only thing that slightly nags me is the slight delay when I lock the screen. Other than that everything is superb
When you guys talk about the "slight delay when locking the screen," do you mean the time between pressing the power button and the screen actually going off? That's annoying me too. But more irritating is that sometimes when the screen is _off_ and I push the power button, there's a 3-4 second delay before the screen comes on again. This only happens occasionally, but it _never_ happened before the OTA update, and it's really annoying. Is anyone else seeing this? And does anyone have any sense of whether a factory data reset (or anything else) would fix these issues?
Thanks!
Alan
I'm having the same issues. Thinking now about downgrading back to 4.1.2, or rooting which I've been avoiding because I have time to be a flashaholic these days...
The factory image was horribly sluggish for me on a clean wipe (bootlooped on dirty flash).
Since there's an acute shortage of custom ROMs that have moved on to 4.2 currently, options are limited to the vanilla AOSP kind.
I had to flash AOSP R5 with AK-443 kernel to be able to barely get through things. Even overclocking hasn't helped much.
Everytime I feel like going back to 4.1.2, the dreaded /sdcard/0 folder nuisance is stopping me from taking the effort.

Yeah, I'm so _not_ wanting to go back to the bad old days of having to flash ROMs to try to get things running smoothly. I'd love there to be a better solution here.

That's sad to hear. I just got 4.2.1 and few minutes ago, and was hoping it would help. Will see and report back.
Ugh -- I just wiped my phone in the hopes that this would be fixed, but no luck: it still sometimes takes several seconds for the screen to light up after pressing the power button. This is ridiculous and so frustrating. The Galaxy Nexus was so snappy with 4.1! What happened to Project Butter??????
How many people in here flashed/tried flashing 4.2.1 through fastboot?

I didn't -- my update came OTA.
OK, I just got the 4.2.2 update, and it seems to be speeding things up. I'm no longer noticing delays when pressing the power button. Anyone else noticing performance improvements with 4.2.2?
For me 4.2.2 is faster and smoother, also battery drain is better.

I've done loads of searching here, heard about the *#0011# and switching Power Saving mode off, which doesn't apply to AOSP/CM based ROMs, and tons of beating my head against the wall for the past few weeks. I have "keep WiFi awake when screen off" set to "Always." I tried setting my frequency to both 2.4ghz and 5ghz only with no luck. I have tried the stock CM kernel, ktoonsez's Kernel, Lean Kernel with none of them changing anything. I have tried an array of ROMs, including CM10 stable, CM10 nightlies, Task's AOKP, Slim, LiquidSmooth, ... the list goes on.
Long story short: my WiFi will occasionally drop connection to the network and not come back up until I turn off and turn on the WiFi again. If it drops and I go into the list of signals I get, it seems to pick up the network and have decent strength, but it will not reconnect and just says "Saved" underneath the record. How long it takes before it drops ranges anywhere from a few hours to a few seconds. It does seem to happen more often than not with low signals to the router, but I've been in the same room as a router with full bars and it will still happen. I've tried different routers, different router configurations, and different networks entirely, same deal. It does not affect my cell data, just my WiFi.
I am currently trying a stock ROM to see if it happens on stock, and so far it has not occurred. I have done full wipes of all data and clean installing a new ROM, I have tried installing stock and then dirty installing to a new ROM. Nothing seems to solve the problem. I ran a logcat when the problem occurred (lost the log, sorry) and the entry from wpa_supplicant was "AP scan failed". I am at my wits end here. Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution? None of the solutions I've found so far have seemed to work.
Edit:
Stock ROM seemed to have stable WiFi.
Completely formatted phone back to virgin stock, rerooted, installed CWM instead of TWRP (really don't think this would have a difference), factory reset, wiped data, wiped system AGAIN, wiped cache, wiped davlik, installed Task650's AOKP. WiFi seems stable again. Maybe his kernel? Maybe something during wipe? Maybe CWM vs TWRP (unlikely)? I'm unsure if the problem is even solved, honestly, but so far it seems stable. Will keep this updated. I'm going to start installing apps (not from Titanium backup this time) one at a time...

I've had the same issue with all AOSP based roms. There seems to be an issue with cm 10 which is the base for all AOSP and aokp roms. The touch wiz roms I've tried have no issues and you can go into settings and disable wifi sleep with them.

That's a shame, but I suppose at least I'm not an isolated case. I didn't figure I was considering I could find other people posting about it, but all the posts seem old and never got much attention. So far task650's AOKP seems fairly stable. I haven't had it drop out on me at home yet, though the WiFi does seem to have difficulty coming up after a boot. I suppose worst case scenario I could switch to a TW ROM, but I really like the AOSP experience better :\ (minus TW's camera)

In addition to having wifi issues I found all the AOSP/AOKP based roms to have screen wake issues. The camera on non touch wiz based roms is also considerably slower. For now I'm sticking with the stock virgin rom - rooted with toggle mod installed. Wifi on the AOSP/AOKP based roms seems to disable when I go to bed. Then I have disable and enable for it to reconnect. I've tried 10+ roms still haven't found that was stable with the features I want. The only I didn't try was flashing a new kernel. Maybe that will solve both the wifi and screen wake issues. I would rather the rom be stable than have tons of features and being buggy.

If you are interested in running an AOSP/AOKP ROM still, give Task650's AOKP a try. After a fresh wipe, to virgin stock, to rooted stock, wipe, and then to his ROM, it seems stable. I haven't had a WiFi drop for about 24 hrs, and it seems stable. I did have some WiFi problems on the first boot or two (WiFi wouldn't be on at boot and a tad stubborn to come on, stable after it came on), but that seems to have solved itself now... I say seem though, because like I said in my OP it can sometimes take hours to drop WiFi. He does use a kernel that isn't the CM10 kernel, so maybe that has something to do with it?
I'm loading my apps back on in waves to try and see if maybe it's an app. So far it's still stable.. I'm about to start downloading all my Spotify playlists which it typically would **** out on, so we'll see. If it starts again I'll be going back to stock.

I did give that rom a try. I had the same wifi issue when I went to bed. It also happens after the phone is rebooted. In addition I was getting the screen wake issue. Task's rom is still based on cm 10 so will have the same bugs. Maybe changing the kernel to task's own kernel or the other AOSP kernel. I'll give a try one of these days. Let me know how that works out for you.
Do you guys having this problem have "Avoid poor connections" checked in the Wifi advanced settings? I don't remember if CM10 has this, but AOKP does. I expected that this setting would cause the phone to switch to a better AP if the signal was low but it seems like it just stops Wifi data completely. After disabling this setting I haven't had any issues.
I've been running CM10 nightlies with the CM10 kernel since late November and haven't had any issues with WiFi. I am on my 2nd GS3, first one returned due to phone speaker (not the speakerphone on the back) and on that one my WiFi was sketchy. Not sure if it was a hardware problem, or CM10 merged a fix close to when I swapped out devices. Either way, I use the latest twrp recovery flashed from GooManager and Formula84 10/12 Gapps. I update daily with the CM Updater, and haven't had any issues other than what is already reported to be a bug on CM (which in all reality is, nothing, since I NEVER use Bluetooth)

I'm using the linksys e4200v2 router. Never had any issues with any of my devices except after I flash AOSP/AOKP based roms. I have 8 devices connected wirelessly with no issues.
My router at home is a Netgear. Not sure about work. The weird part for me is that I didn't use to have these problems with AOSP ROMs, not that I remember anyways. It seems like a recent development in the past few weeks.
Still having decent luck with task650's ROM. It did happen to me once last night at home but it's been stable as a rock otherwise. If it starts happening more I'm gonna flash stock. If it continues to happen from there I'll consider it a hardware defect and go ***** to AT&T.

I just tried two roms (liquid smooth and tasks aokp). Had wifi issues with both of them after reboot. I decided to try two custom kernels (underwear and ktoonsez). Still experienced wifi saying not in range. The issue seems to be with the latest cm base which is used in all AOSP and AOKP roms. I hope this issue is fixed with the new cm 10.1 base. I guess I'll be stuck using only touch wiz roms now.
Found a great app that solves the wifi issue. It's called smart wifi toggler. Wifi reconnects after reboot now and remains connected when I go to sleep.

It sounds like something is going wrong when you flashed the ROM. Task's AOKP isn't CM based (he cherry-picks from it, but builds from source), and I've never had a Wi-Fi issue with it.

I've been having good luck as well with tasks, but I don't know what could be going wrong when flashing a CM based ROM that is so consistent, unless it's either a hardware issue or something in their code base.

No prob. I'm finally able to enjoy tasks aokp now that I got the wifi issue solved with using smart wifi toggler. It's a great rom, with tons of features and customizations.
I'm running Villuminati on my E4GT and I love it! It's super fast, running the Google Launcher is great, all around it's way better than the stock 4.1.2
I do have a few minor issues that I don't know if they are just me or if others are experiencing them as well. Intermittently, WIFI and DATA will both turn Orange when I open up my settings tab, and neither one will move any data unless I toggle airplane mode. I followed instructions on page 77 of the developers page and I'm on Virgin Mobile. It's not a terribly big deal because I can get it back, but if I didn't have to worry about it that would be even better. Is there a fix for this? Is anyone else experiencing it?
Also the camera seems quite a bit slower and takes grainier pictures than the stock. Again, not a deal breaker, but I was wondering if that's just how it's going to be or if there is an issue here. Thanks!

I am currently running VILLUMINATI-07292014-d710.zip (KK 4.4.4) with FL24 modem and I have not seen any issues with wifi/data. You may want to try out the latest version that just came out on 7/29 @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540250

Like @Luniz2k1 said. Plus did you wipe data, cache and dalvik? Did you dirty flash or clean flash? Have you tried reflashing the ROM?
I'm running the latest version of this now. No more wifi-data issues, I downloaded the Google camera app, and most things are improved. Only problem now is GoogleNow keeps popping up randomly and persistently. I think it might be related to Hangouts as every time I get a text and my phone is unlocked it pops up. My wife (same phone, same ROM) is having the same problem too. I wipe everything before I flash a new ROM too.

I was having the same issue. Haven't had them in a while.
