im really stumped. i usually get all the problems, i flashed the 103.0 ics leak and was stuck with no boot loader, no recovery and i crap rom (lets b honest the stock ics 13 leak was crap.
so i apx'd and used the blackthunder apx flash tool to install the ics bootloader+recovery
i then downloaded the flexreaper r12.5, used the new recovery 1.7 thor to install the rom, booted up
had sod about 5 times in 3 minutes, i read further, i downloaded the boot-ics.img from the first post, the 2mb one,.
installed with recovery, im now running 100%!
I HAVENT HAD A SOD IN 2 DAYS NOW
WIFI IS ALWAYS ON+ NEVER HAD A DROP
current uptime = 17hrs 55mins 55sec and i have 72% battery left , i have been using gmaps, games and browsing the net sporadically. i think the battery life is great
my boot animation is blue/grey circling matrix numbers, if you have something else you went wrong
also thankx to civato,blackthunder,timmyd, dibbs from the a500 forum i would still be stuck on leak ics otherwise
