First thoughts: I am impressed by ICS and look forward to a stable release. Thanks jokersax111 for an early preview:)

Not sure if these are known issues, but I have observed two problems after flashing this ROM for first time
1) Bluetooth pairs correctly, but call does not transfer to headset when I get or make a call. I don't see bluetooth option as well.
2) I get a creepy message "Where are you??" in the notification bar at random intervals. When I click on it, I go to Location Services in settings. I have not seen it since yesterday, most likely because I unchecked "Location and Google Search"

I am on .4.5.1 and faux123's V3 kernel. Before this I was using Nottarix 1.3.1 version and bluetooth worked fine.

Any thoughts?

I have one issue with all this. Certain apps will sometimes not let me tap certain parts of the screen. Biggest example so far: Bloomberg. When I go to the search screen and try to hit recently searched stocks (in this case I have 3 stocks saved), I can hit the top and bottom stock, but cannot tap on the middle stock. Thoughts?

I saw the where are you at first. Its gone now.
My bt also acted like yours after the initial pairing. Seemed to work on the second call, but I cantfind the setting option to allow bt access while screen is off.

No live wallpaper support in this one?

This is a "jokers-atrix-cm9-0.4.5.1.zip" standard install over Turl's v10 with data/cache/dalvik/batt wipe. VERY nice work Joker.

Note error message ending in "Installation aborted." just below "AROMA INSTALLER Finished". I am not sure what this means, but ROM and GApps are working well so far.

Today I will try out an OC kernel to help camera, etc.

The "Where are you???" is really jokersax's version of the "Searching for GPS" message from other CM9 and ICS ROMs.

My problem is that I can't stream pandora, google music, tune-in radio, power amp music through the car stereo by bluetooth. Only calls and built in music player app. Can somebody else try this? I posted this problem before but got no response. It's the only thing keeping me away from this rom. I'm limited to using Turl's and CNA (which is awesome) because the audio streaming works perfectly. That's too bad because this roms runs really fast and smooth.

running 0.4.5.1, really smooth but heres my problem,
in a compass app it shows me west as east and east as west, north and south are ok. also i dont have an arrow in google maps anymore, just a point for my position.
i think the maps issue and the east west issue are having the same reason.

and another bug i had on all versions so far and never seen mentioned before, the standart clock has a night mode, to turn it on you hold one finger on the screen untill it turns dark and the numbers blue but as soon as you release your finger it goes back to normal mode instead of kepping it in night mode.

i hope someone knows a solution

I'm pretty sure the error is meaningless. It exists because AROMA Installer does all of the installing, and not CWM.

Custom installer tested. Haven't notice anything wrong so far, and the install process is good. I would ask if we can have slightly larger fonts to make it easier to read. Calibration went perfect, and then using Aroma was ..Good. Didn't seem to respond straight away, but I think it's more about knowing where to touch.

I can navigate RomRacers in seconds now using the capacitive buttons, but that's mainly because I'm used to it. I think the possibility of offering all sorts of options in one installer is a step in the right direction. If you want, you can select the espresso, but with a few clicks you could also have the skinny caramel latte!

I will try to donate at the start of next month, as I think you deserve it. I am also looking at moving to Be for my broadband, so I'll make sure I use your links. I urge other people to do the same if they can remember. Clicking ads doesn't always give him money, but buying through the ads should, just clear your cookies first.

Anyone having any heat issues with .4.5.1?

Did a fresh wipe through CWM, loaded up as always. Seems to be running hotter than in previous versions.

Everything seems to be working ok otherwise.

I've seen a lot of mention of camera tweaks and "fixes", but I'm still a little unclear on this. Is the current status of the camera "better" than the one in turl's ROM? I frequently get the fun issue where the camera feed is lagged far behind where it should be and thus impossible to use, plus occasional crashes in general resulting in a "cannot connect to camera" message the requires a restart to resolve.
I'm curious if joker managed to fix or improve on any of these issues. I am aware that camcorder is still borked as hell.

Over clock. It helps with the lag. Currently its software encoded

Even on cm9 1.45 v3, my video camera initially responds well to slow sustained panning, but then quickly degrades --- as if it is trying to respond to a rapidly increasing amount of buffered data. Then Atrix reboots after about 15-20 seconds. And all of this happens in 720p view-only mode, no recording.

It sure would be nice to fix stock camera so we wouldn't have to OC or resort to 3rd party apps... :D

I remember in cm7, under wifi advance settings, it had an option for wifi channels and you could pick up to 14. Under advance in cm9, the options not there and sometimes, I have a hard time connecting to some of my schools wifi
