Nope.
I have only

Power Off
Airplane mode
snd off - vibration - sound on

I remember there used to be an item in that menu to capture a screenshot ...:rolleyes:

I would send you a screenshot but I can't :D

Hold down the power button and volume down together - and it will capture the screen. There's a knack to it but keep trying. :)

The battery life is superb. I've had WiFi on all day, made a few calls, installed a few apps, and it's used 9% in 6 hours. Much better than I was getting with the stock ICS beta - I don't know what doomed has done but it's working.

FWIW I haven't installed any other mods - no status bar power widgets or anything.

I was about to flash GB again because of battery issues with the official beta but now I can stick with this fabulous ROM.

Which kernel use you?

Wifi working you? Me not. :( Connecting to wifi hotspot and disconnect and not become IP. I reflash stock ICS wifi module ZIP, but not working.

YES YES: Working the wifi. I forgot the wifi settings (Mac address) to change on router configuration! But I don't understand why changed in this rom the MAC Adress.

For now on every phone the ICS beta is installed on will have the same MAC address. This will be addressed with the final update.

This is interesting, because I used another ICS ROM (KA08 ROM) and the MAC Adress not same and the Ginger Mac address too. But KA08 ROM MAC and the Ginger Mac address is same. I looking tonight other ICS ROM. But this is not very big probleme I write the MAC to the Router configuration then working :)

YOUR ROM is the best. :) :) Very smooth and battery friendly and everything working. Angry Birds Space is not lagging.

I tested other ROM: Angry Birds lagging and video recording lagging, phone restart, all of the phone function lagging.

Same here, battery life is phenomenal.

Also would using the v6 supercharger be redundant on this Rom?

I'd say don't install SuperCharger on this ROM, because that will overwrite the tweaks doomed applied.

I'm missing this since I parted with my HTC ...

Thanks

Hello, I have a problem with the download link for v5. When I click on it, it redirects me to puush.me and i can´t download anything. Anyone can help me? Maybe the autor can upload the v5 file to another hosting... Thanks.

    Known Issues for 5.0

    • Touch controls might not work in AROMA Installer.
    • As with stock ICS, phone/contacts may take a while to start for the first time after boot.
    • If you didn't do a full wipe when coming from 4.1.B.0.431, you might have problems deleting bloatware.

    Troubleshooting

    • Flash the corresponding modules from the kernel you use (unless "modules included" is written) to make sure WiFi works properly.
