[ROM][4.0.4][Crespo] Apex v1.1.3: Features Keep Pilin' On! (5/13/12)

There's a severe issue with the dialer in 1.1.3, thread has been reverted to 1.1.2 for the time being

This is a crespo build of my maguro ROM found here:

Happy Mother's Day!

This is a generally stock ROM with mods chosen to add to functionality without detracting from the Ice Cream Sandwich experience that Google envisioned. I built this ROM from AOSP, merged in mods from CM9, AOKP, Gummy, RootzBoat, and other ROMS, to create what I feel is a perfect mixture of stock feel and helpful customizations.

I had a lot of fun building, testing, and running this ROM. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Features

• Built from AOSP source code - 4.0.4 IMM76I base
• Stock look and feel with useful mods
• Device specific control app (Galaxy Nexus Parts, Crespo Parts, etc) for low level adjustments
• Customizeable Lockscreen (2-5 targets, custom targets, custom icons)
• Customizeable Notification Pulldown Widgets
• Customizeable NavBar w/ tutorial
• Customizeable batteries (%, circle, bar, miui bar)
• Customizeable Trebuchet Launcher with adjustable homescreen grid size
• Advanced sound settings: quite hours, expanded volume control, unlink ringtone & notifications
• T9 Predictive (smart) dialer w/ advanced settings
• Built in CPU Perfomance Settings w/ voltage control
• Facebook sync enabled
• Quick unlock (toggleable, for PIN and Password lockscreens)
• 3.0.31 CyanogenMod Kernel
• Advanced Power Menu w/ reboot and screenshot options
• Rooted and busybox preinstalled
• All apks deodexed/zipaligned/optimized

Requirements

• GSM Nexus S
• Clockwork Recovery

Screenshots









Instructions

• Wipe data and cache! Just wipe cache and dalvik if coming from Apex 1.1.x
• Flash ROM file
• Flash GAPPs file immediately afterwards, prior to rebooting (also if you are updating!).
• Reboot
• Profit

Quirks

• 2G/3G toggle does not work
• Battery types sometimes don't change (just toggle back and forth until it does)
• MIUI battery bar requires a screen toggle (on/off) to update after an orientation change
• Yes, lockscreen and navbar settings SHOULD be under UI Customization, but I am lazy and cut some corners. Shh!

Things to be aware of

• If Facebook picture sync is not working after contacts have synced, please clear the application cache and data, sign in again, and it will sync.
• Please allow the phone some time to sync initially (calendar, picasa, bookmarks, etc.)
• If market auto restore gets stuck, a reboot should fix it

I just have a little issue with the pulldown widgets to figure out, as well as catch up on updates with some of the other apps (T9 dialer, trebuchet, MMS, etc) and it should be ready soon
