Seen people asking for votes on the roms at the op. Saurom is closed so i can't. So i gave this one 5 stars.
Anyone found any roms better? Or even as good?
Call Recording required. I can fake call block.
What have you done with Saurom? Kernels , themes, etc.?

I've given up in ics roms, trying jb now. Still using saurom as my daily driver. No random reboots, or flickering screens. Saurom just works. Better features too. Some tasker stuff is supposed to work with ics.

Has this been answered? Sorry if I missed the answer somewhere. I only have a computer at work and cant be on here too long without getting yelled at. lol
Multi-DPI issue
I find this ROM to be faster than Android 4.x, so I'm posting in this really old thread.
The only issue I have, is that when I increase the density on the phone via build.prop, the system menus are not affected, remaining ugly large. The clipboard also shows large, and truncated. I assume this is the "multi-dpi" feature at work. Anyone know how to disable this?
ps. I did a search for "dpi" on this thread, and it turned up 5 results that didn't help

Through previous experience, including this one: I am never quite happy with a customized operating system. I would rather start with a barebones operating system, and be taught how to make the customizations myself. That way, I can choose piecemeal what is important to me.
If I were to make a custom system, I would start the installation by giving choices about what to changes or additions I want. Then I would have an app within android, that would let me add or remove the same "components" to the installed system, in case I changed my mind later. I'd keep in mind not to make the choices too numerous, as this deters some people, and I'd have documentation about what each change is, and how to implement them manually.
Of course, to do all that, I'd have to make the custom rom my full-time job

I find the Custom menu in Settings. It contains General, Device Info, and Statusbar Settings (within that is JKAY). Did I mess something up? Am I missing any settings?

Uninstall Voice from your phone and reboot it. Select the option to Activate voice on your number from the web console. DL and install Voice to your phone and set up as normal. Should work fine after that.

6Custom Menu Explained
- How to Modify the toggles
_scroll down to 'Widget Button order'
Drag the toggles on top , you cant drag to position 2 or 3 etc so you ll have to work your way of the top
- Add , Edit or remove toggles
_scroll down to 'Widget Buttons'
Check or uncheck those you want 16 to choose from .
Inside the 'Widget Buttons' there is a sub menu scroll down .
From there you can change the behavior of the Brightness and Sound button .
- How Do I switch from TSM 's Toggles to Jkay's ?
To enable/revert the toggles :
open jkay deluxe go to set status bar option scroll to the bottom and check or uncheck 'Show alternative toggles' ( requires reboot)
- Some Settings wont stick or Don't work
USE COMMON SENSE JKAY mods and the new mods cant overlap each other :
For example:
remove text is a jkay toggle option. wont work with the TSM ones .
same thing for show 8 toggles
You cant add signal text via JKAY and change its color via the new options you need to add it custom menu then change its color
you cant remove carrier text in JKAY and then edit it in custom menu
The possibilities are endless, tweaks are very specific and allow customization to the extreme , dont expect to get it all the way you want under 20 minutes .
4so I was looking for an explanation on how to setup the bln exactly to make it work with the stock sms, and after searching thru both the rom thread and the discussion thread I found the proper settings thanks to DAGr8 that I think it should be added to the op's FAQ so if a newcomer flashes this awesome rom and wants to set up the bln doesn't need to ask the question or search, it already be in the FAQ.
How to get BLN working with Stock messaging app
1. In the stock messaging app, in menu/settings, Disable the notification message.
2. In SMS Popup app, Enable SMS Popup. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
3. Right below, In Notifications/Default Notifications:
**Uncheck "Show a Popup" if you don't want the popup window onscreen (iphone/miui style) when a message arrives.
**Checked if you do*
4. Check "Enable Notifications"
5. Now go to Additional Settings and in Screen Control, make sure Screen on for Popup is unchecked, so the screen won't wake up when an sms is received and now you'll have working bln with every text in stock messaging app .
I'm glad for this as I get a lot of text and this will keep me from turning on the screen 100 times in a day to check if i got a message.2Hey I read on page three you would post the stock at&t browser so we could get rid of these bookmarks. Any luck with that or did I miss it up front? Can we do it in root explorer?
Btw I had no probably with my apn's and not sure why so many people are!! Quick solution write yours down b4 you flash the rom the enter them back after! Done working fine and instead of the 4g))) symbol you get the hspa looking up down arrows! I happened to like that better.
the att fix fixes all known bugs for att users .
