Does this rom have the infamous "shutdown/reboot freeze" that plagues all ICS roms? That's been my biggest issue with all the ICS builds I've flashed in recent days..Just looking for a keeper here as I'm sure many of us are. I've tried just about every "fix", as I'm equally sure many of us have, to try to remedy this issue, to no avail..LoL
And thanks for your hard work brother..It is greatly appreciated :D

Doesn't seem to have the shutdown/reboot issues. I'm gonna run this ROM for a few days and I'll report back.

Glad to see you're back! I was secretly hoping you would develop a "Sky ICS" bc I LOVED your Sky Ice Cream GB ROM mainly bc of the exceptional >30 hour battery life and the good looks.

I will try this out in a week or two once you have your updates finalized as I am looking to flash maybe once more before I just wait for a final AOSP/MIUI rom to be completed.

Anyone figure out a way to force hspa+ instead of lte, dammed throttleing thing was fixed by flipping to phone apn, then forcing hsdpa+, I know the changing bands was mostly a modem and locked RAT but didn't know if you knew of another way.

First of all welcome back Sean. Anyways, I had the same issue and noticed I have a Cingular 410 APN. I'm on ATT pta. Anyway to have this changed or do I need to input the APN for data? Also my phone froze on first boot, pulled battery rebooted then immediately had shutdown freeze. I'll try to reflash and see what happens. And yes, I followed your instructions to a T. I'll update my findings.

Update: OK, I reflashed per your instructions from the beginning, I also flashed the ICSradio again before rebooting. All is good. I'm on ATT pta, and my shutdown doesn't hang. Must have been a bad flash or maybe the second flash stuck. Looking forward to your work on this, I've run all your ROMS and appreciate your work.

I now have to freeze on reboot/shut down bug. I've reinstalled twice. Guess I will start all over and try again, see if that clears it up.:confused:

Edit 1: Damn, now in a boot loop!:eek:

Edit 2: Finally got it working and rebooting. I used Dark-side super wipe the first 3 flashes on the 4th I just formatted system 3 times and everything appears better. Now for a test drive ...yeah!

Can you elaborate on the "deep sleep mod" you have in the feature list?

Welcome back, looking forward to flashing this...btw, can anyone confirm that contacts are syncing with google account? That also seems to be a bug in the leaked ics, and is there a lag in the phone app? Thanks in advanced...

hey @seanzscreams one thing i REALLY LOVED about your other rom's was how you removed the alter @ 25% and made so it only alerts @ 5% can you do that for this one as well?

    1B

    IF YOU ARE COMING FROM GB YOU MUST FLASH THIS FIRST
    ICS RADIO (ucl4)
    http://d-h.st/tA7


    2.


    DONT USE DARKSIDE SCRIPT WIPE
    (UNLESS IT JUST WON'T WORK)
    To Install Base

    1.Wipe factory data reset ....3 times
    2.go to mounts and format system 3 times
    3.then install the rom..
    4.then go back and reboot system now
    5.Then let it settle atleast 5 min...select a launcher..
    6.then continue to let it finish...and dont touch anything until screen times out !!!!!
    (if you have alot of pictures it will take a few minutes longer to media scan)
    7.Open busy box installer .. and install anyway
    8.Reboot back to recovery


    3.

    After Base Install And Installing the Update

    1.Clear cache partition
    2.Go to Advanced, click clear Dalvik cache
    3.Find Latest Sky Ics Update.zip
    4.Install and reboot when finished
    5.Finally open up Rom Manager and run Fix permissions
    6.One last reboot and Voila!!!!


    you can come from gb, or ics.
    Just make sure to wipe a few more times and clear your dalvik if
    your on gb, and flash the latest radio http://d-h.st/tA7

    its easy
    just do it
    c'mon everyones doing it







    LASTLY just a few notes about problems ....

    You must be on touch clock work first
    This has eliminated most if not alll of my problems

    If your phone is fcing all over the place
    or such and such an app wont work for me
    Most likely its bad data on your sd card

    first try clearing individual app cache
    settings/applications (find your app and clear it )

    (if you have tried everything i mean everything and still cant get it )
    FORMAT YOUR SD CARDS (im not responsible for what you lose
    you should learn to backup sd cards ):)

    sorry about the numbers  
    
    4.1  will be the new base and update number 
    the only thing that will change is the letter and consecutive number 
    eg (4.1) a-3 a-4 a-5  or b-1 b-2 b-3)
    
    so allyou need to know is flash 4.1 base   
    and then flash whatever the latest update is
    
    
    
    
    4.1 and 4.1a-2

    rebuilt settings from scratch
    and added some new menus
    added roboto fonts and sony sketch
    new mms added as well
    dtmf tones fixed and working
    init.d scripts support
    
    added multiple add ons  and reverts
    many more to come 
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    ok for real had some serious apk decompile issues
    now all is good im decompiling and recompiling 
    perfectly
    so now all my mods are sticking
    including the battery ones that didnt earlier 
    
    still to come theme stuff
    
    extended power menu was a *****
    sonce samsung changed the shutdown global smali file from

    Heres how to Swap internal and External Sd Cards

    Here is the modded vold.fstab for swapping internal memory with external memory.

    (This allows you to use your sd card (upto 32-64gb) for apps instead of being stuck with just 11gb)

    Two methods to applying this-

    1) use adb or root explorer, delete your current vold.fstab in system\etc and replace with the one i have provided.

    2) RECOMMENDED Open up your roms zip/rar file and delete vold.fstab in system\etc and replace with the provided one.
    (This way is PREFERRED because then your ROM will be started from scratch with this storage configuration)
