Great ROM; with a patient set up

V2 is working great. THANK YOU P4S

It took a patient set-up that I'm not used to, but it's smooth and fast now.

If it helps I found the following steps helped make the ROM work as it should:

  • Don't restore user apps via TB (OH THAT HURT)
  • Flash the ICS+ addon (the store download and TB restore both had tons of FCs for me)
  • Flash the setting's fix addon
  • Use SetCPU, or the like, to set the low speed to 300 (I was only using deepsleep, 1200 or 1500 until I did this).
  • Remember to mount the sdcards in settings

I found the contacts FC issue...

For me it was FC'ing when deleting the ATT Default contacts that are in the "phone" vs. Google. When deleting them they actually do get deleted but Contacts does a FC after each one when you try to delete the next one. After I got them all out, I replaced the contacts app with this one and so far adding and mod'ing contacts (adding phone numbers, email accounts to existing contacts and then deleting them) no more FCs.

This one is for ICS and has no Yellow Pages.

No after replacing it, the phone icon will also disappear from the dock. reboot and re-add contacts and the phone to your dock...

enjoy.

I need major help.
I can't access any apps that require data, the web browser and the market wont open. I checked my APN settings everything is fine. I called my provider (Telus)
and they couldn't see anything wrong from their end.
My phone shows it's connected to the network with a 4G LTE symbol.
It suddenly happened today, it was working fine yesterday when I flashed the Rom.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Are you working now? Maybe go into the APN settings and hit menu then reset APN to default?

Is there a way to stop FC's when importing/deleting contacts? I really need to import my contacts but I get a FC. :(

Do you not Sync with Google? Why import? The initial setup is a PITA but once done the OTA Sync is VERY nice.

Can anyone running 240 dpi comment on v2.0? I'm kind of addicted to that dpi so would like everything or most things to work before flashing. Smemo, browser, etc.

I am currently running at 240dpi and it is fantastic, no problems at all. I was on 280 for a while, but once you go 240, its hard to use anything else. This rom has been just a dream to use all day, I really appreciate the work that went into it.

s-memo rotation even works flawlessly :D

Do your apps disappear from the Market at that res? Mine did on several ROMs.

I have all 20 pages worth lol.

One bug I've found, and repeated three times, is trying to use the panoramic mode on the aosp camera. Samsung camera works just fine so iI'm not complaining, just noting it ;)

No no not from the phone itself, just the listing of the installed apps in the Market. I run with about 60 apps installed. If I change the res down to 280 for example many disappear from the installed listing. if I go to the All listing they show installed but if selected they say "app is not compatible with your device"...

I don't like using that camera anyways, it's always blurry on the video and distorted. Also the still camera has no focal point you can refer to onscreen.

Screw that, use the default camera, much cleaner.

Anyways, Sheezy, buy yourself a case Confirmation number: 1WE85666LH141111M.

    NOTEWorthy BETA

    **Here is a Video of BETA v1.0 thanks to JmaHaffey-
    http://youtu.be/HWpCRNwmM20

    Also, I will fancy up this post once I get things going because right now its looking terrrrrrribllleee LOL!

    This ROM is deodexed, zip aligned, rooted, debloated, and based on UCLC5. When I say debloated, I'm saying that I removed what I figured to be bloat. This is considered beta because I'm not completely done with everything but my overall GOAL is to remove as much Samsung and AT&T crap as I can from this ROM and replace it with AOSP. Will get there one day. Just be patient

    MOD Notice

    The behaviour of some here is outright childish, this is a development section not a kindergarten. If you have nothing sensible to add to the development of this ROM, then dont post! I have cleaned some of the troll posts and the responses, dont feed the trolls, just report to the moderation team! Lets keep it on topic from now!

    And stop demanding a ETA, its ready when its ready. Doing so just annoys the devs, just appreciate there work!​
    13
    OP updated with link. Enjoy and post feedback. Might have few FCs at first as ROM settles in. If you have any problems, never forget to give it a reboot. Messaging app FC at beginning of each boot is normal and will get fixed when I get a chance
