I flashed this ROM after trying and playing with a bunch of other ones for the past 4 months or so...love the speed and stability of this one.

However, it for some reason does not find my music files stored on the ext sdcard. It comes back saying No Sd card found. I have tried a couple of different music players. Even my custom ringtone is not showing up in the sound settings screen. I know the card is in place since I can see the music files using a file manager and can even play them individually from there...beats me!

Any suggestions? This question may be already asked and answered in this thread... I am doing this from my phone and did not spend enough time researching :-(

Thanks and keep up the good work!

first off this rom is great ,as for the music my phone is picking up all my music files from external and internal.,i did d/l to my computer and then to my phone dont know if that makes a difference,
the only thing i did see is that i cant sync my fb contacts to my phone contacts .when enabling animod it did work after initial reboot but after othere reboots reverted back to stock.tried installing wifi tether from addons, it worked but had to reboot to turn tether off.other than that works fast and speed amazing thank you for your work,
p.s. modded the battery to honeycomb and the wifi and signal bars as well so kitchen works great .

This ROM is quick and the has given me the best battery life out of all the other ROMs so far, however, when I play music, i can hear the beats audio working but then when i lock the phone, the sound immediately goes down.

is anyone else noticing this or should i re-flash?

Damn if this were to have WiFi Calling and SMS over WiFi I'd use this as my daily, but sadly i need it when I'm working >_<

Good job on it though I love it!

this wifi calling thing seems uber important to everyone.

im starting a poll in the thread.

wifi calling will necessitate me rebuilding this from scratch.
i'm totally willing to do this if it is deemed important by the majority of the community. however please realize this might take me a week or so of thorough recoding in some of these tweaks [toggles, framework edits, animation speeds].

so i leave it up to you guys. community based rom gets community decision-making. :] please vote.

also, do me a favor and spread the word about this rom. its sort of hidden under juggs and macnut lol

Anyone know how to change the default home screen? I've been trying to edit the default.prop and some other tricks but can't seem to get it done. Thanks

This is a little premature for me but I cant wait to try your rom out brozilla. I get my new phone later this week and this will be the 1st choice for me. Im coming from the epic 4g so its nice to see a familiar dev here. I would like to vote for an ICS theme also as I'm going to miss my cm9 goodness.

Yeah I'm sure I will once I get it in my hands I wont miss my epic so much lol..That bad boy was bullet proof and such a great community of developers. I'm still feeling my way around here but I'm sure I will make myself at home once I can get to flashing. I am looking forward to the devs here getting there hands on some ICS goodness as these phones should handle it nicely.
TTYL and keep up the good work!

    foxstar is skipping 2.0
    sorry.

    we're also skipping 3.0 in honor of the late honeycomb.

    however a very early build of 4.0 is in the works.

    ice cream is delishuz.

    Just an update for those who aren't following me on twitter.

    Foxstar has switched goals, and priorities. I'll now be working on a fully functional , performanxe oriented, vanilla AOSP build for the t989. While this is my goal, it is a huge undertaking on my part as this will be my first true AOSP build from scratch. I've got some preliminary things set up, my new build environment is set up, and despite a complete lack of efficient hardware, I've begun work on this.

    Please be patient with me on this. With my ancient hardware at home, each build takes hours to compile, meaning each error takes literally hours to test, debug and fix .

    I hope you see this change as good news, and I look forward to the future of this ROM and this community
