First off I was looking at rooms and noticed there are no Android 4.0 roms??? That are stable?
Aosp roms? Or tw 4.0?
We have both roms. And both do have bugs
Before you ask search
Like he said we do have 4.0.3. Check the development thread to see what's out there. The closest to stable is raverx black edition which is touch wiz based but you can always use apex launcher if you want an asop experience. Raver also has asop almost completed but alas the ics roms we do have out are a bit buggy but some can be daily drivers. Either way, nandroid backup and try em out till you find what's good for you cheers!

i'm running ics megamix with apex launcher and it's been pretty stable.
raver's black edition had a lot fcs for me and really wasn't good enough for dd.
and racing's was good, but i only ran the original (with the reboot/shutdown bug).
but as far as i can tell, they really are all about the same, just with different levels of debloating (which raver's has the least bloat, but i think that led to some of the instability i encountered) and some different bootanimations/theme tweaks.
the main bugs are autorotate is broken and some people have call echo, but i haven't experienced call echo on any that i've ran.
There is a stock rom ported from at & ts sgs2 ics update. That's as close as you get to official for us. There's only one bug the rotation is whack and it's full of atts bloat other then that it's good.

My last question is I know it doesn't have a notification light and I read somewhere that there is a way to make the capactive buttons (the ones on the bottom menu home etc) light up instead

the most common i've seen is called bln, stands for backlight notification (i'm pretty sure there are others, too, but i'm not familiar with them). you need a compatible kernel, though, and so i don't think any of the ics can support it yet.

There's an app called BLN Control in the Market too.

Not really a actually ics ROM for the 989 I dont think. But official one will drop soon so id just flash darksides ROM or Mr x if your Telus. I use golauncher with a ics theme and it looks alot like it.

The kernel in the ROM must support BLN for it to work. There is another app on the market that will work on any ROM. It is called NoLED. It does not use the capacitive buttons but will show a light or if configured an icon on your screen even when screen is off for any apps you choose for it to manage. it will use separate icons for phone, sms, etc... so you know what you missed instead of just the lights like with BLN.
Gmail's much-heralded pinch-to-zoom feature doesn't work properly on the S3.
Unlike every other device running JB with the latest Gmail app (4.2.1 as of today), pinch-to-zoom does not reflow text on the S3.
On the S3, if you enable "Auto-fit messages" in Gmail's General settings, you can pinch to zoom. So far so good. A double-tap after zooming just unzooms -- BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD DO.
On all other devices running Gmail 4.2.1, a double-tap after pinch-to-zoom reformats (reflows) the text to fit the screen width at the new text size (Confirmed on half a dozen devices, including Nexus 4, old Galaxy S Captivate running Cyanogenmod JB 4.2, ASUS Transformer tablet running JB 4.1, no-name Chinese tablet running JB 4.1). But on the S3 the doubletap just unzooms. Boo!
On the Galaxy S3 there seems to be no way to make the text reflow (reformat) after pinch-to-zoom in Gmail -- so you have to scroll left / right to read -- very unpleasant.
Anyone have any input on this?
affirmative

It seems the app is a bit half baked, I've read this in a few articles since acquisition of Sparrow. Hopefully in more updates the patch that will make it not suck will arise.
Hello xda members.
I've googled relentlessly but I'm struggling to find an answer.
Does anyone know how to remove this button? (pic related)
I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of the button is, but when you tap it, it seems to hide the toggles in the notification area.
If it makes any difference I'm running android 4.2.2 and my ROM is ice cold jelly for the international htc one x. (Basically just a slightly modified AOKP).
Lol it can't be removed. It switches to the 'tile' type of quick settings.

Hi i just bought a used samsung galaxy w and I noticed that the back and menu buttons have no light. They work but don't light. Touch key light duration setting is set to 1.5 seconds. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks in advance!
Your device is rooted?

Yes I just rooted it and installed [ROM] [JB 4.3 JSS15J]CM and CARBON -- Kernel 3.4.
The problem was on stock 2.3.6 and it's still now on 4.3.
i believe its a hardware issue not software
Hi all.
I hope you all remember during the gingerbread firmware era our contacts you can swipe IFT to call or swipe left to text..
Now for some strange reason my dads samsung galaxy s3 has been updated to 4.0 firmware - but somehow he still had that old contacts to swipe..
Is there anyway I too can get that & how..??
(I'm on slimkat 4.4 ROM)
