Has anyone tried Samuraii II and Wind-up Knight?
They don't work, just start into the first menu, and then touching screen seems not to work any more....I can just use Back or Home key back to Home screen -,-

Hi tbalden~
How can I set my phone to use wcdma only?
*#*#4636#*#* didn't work...

I saw that my firend with droid 3 and ICS had the settings to choose different priorities under mobile network settings. So it seems to exist in ICS. Is it something you can add in your next release?

You realize It's common maintenance right? I mean if you wanna deal with a crappy running phone that's fine, but don't say no one ever told you about common knowledge to take care of what you own if you want it to last.....silly kids these days
Also not to bring any bad news but quadrant standard benchmarks don't really show real world performance It's just numbers, I know his Rom performs better than then numbers are reflecting and I mean that in a good way

It might be common to you but dont you think its a little annoying you always have to be cleaning cache, dalvik, battery stats, and have an app running for everything so it can perform right? It was just an opinion no need to be calling kids to noone, kid.
Btw im aware quadrant isn't accurate, but comparing to scores with other roms you have to admit this one makes the phone run pretty smoothely. Just saying ;)

The app only runs once every 12 hours so its no big deal at all, to me its like mechanic in a can.
And im Running the 1.55.531 update not over clocked hitting 3k, so no i dont think a quadrant does this ROM justice. It runs ways better than that

Fyi last I checked, quadrant is outdated, as it does not utilize both cores. try antutu benchmark on the market.

Thanks for the info did not know about quadrant. And I'll try out the app. Nevertheless the rom has been good with me for the past week or so.

Just did a backup through rom manager, wiped data, cache, dalvik, and formatted system, restored the backup and cleared cache and dalvik again and hasn't given me the issue again so far.

Anyone been tethering with this rom and havin good results? I've read the OP and use barnacle and open garden.. worked for a day, now when I turn it on it restarts my phone..

Any other options you guys have been using? Or suggestions?

I need good battery life so ics is the rom of choice, but I need tethering too.. tia

Hi, I have a question. Is it in all ICS or why doesn't this ROM have the settings to use only WCDMA, Only GSM or Preferred WCDMA? The problem is that I have weak 3G at work and sometimes have to force 3G to get some acceptable data speed. Bad reception 3G is still faster than GSM.
I think you can set it with a third party app from market.
This rom's AOSP setting doesnt support that.
Sense ICS settings part supports it tho'.
Have been searching allot with no luck. Does anyone know one?

Hi, I found this after I changed my keyword searching for an app. Works as expected and will work great for now.

Does Tasker crash from time to time for anyone else on this ROM?

Not for me, Tasker is running perfectly here. Occasionally, I get crashes in Browser or Settings or more rarely in other apps, but the next time I open them all is ok again. Tasker never crashed so far.

Totally love this rom!

However, I faced the following problems.

1) Draw Something force closes.
2) Even though my security is set to no lock, I still encounter the lock ring thing. This can be a bit irritating, because I am using Go Locker, so I have to swipe up the lock ring, then slide up again on my Go Locker theme, before accessing home.

Also, I do hope future versions might allow users to customize the quick settings slide down, cause not all the functions are needed.

Looking forward to the next update :)

    For updates check http://www.virtuousrom.com/ since i joined VirtuousROM team. Look for Virtuous Inquisition.
    its the perfect upgrade for this rom, I recommend moving to inquisition instead of using this. I've released some fixes for that rom, which are not available for this older rom.

    kernel sources:
    https://github.com/TeamDS/htc-kernel-doubleshot_26


    pyr'o'ice ICS desensed 1.1.3 - AOSPish, ICS Android 4.0.3

    A Pyramid HTC ICS ROM conversion based on the leaked ROM. Ported from the published rom by RCTeam and using a lot from the desensed rom by virtuous team (Virtuous Inquisition), tweaked a lot to work with mt4gs. http://www.virtuousrom.com/
    ICS AOSP 4.0.3 apps/gapps / Nova launcher beta 15 on htc's pyramid ICS framework and kornyone's HTC doubleshot kernel hacked / merged by me for sensation porting quirks. ICS gapps preinstalled.
    It's using HTC Camera app (aosp doesnt work to full extent with the HTC libs that this ROM bases on, later i'll add an Addon with the AOSP one that replaces this).
    Kernel with kineto, tun, encryption and cifs support.

    FLASH IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR PHONE! (I DID NOT, BUT BE WARNED!)

    0., Use latest CWM recovery and be S-off
    1., Copy to SDcard
    2., Full wipe needed
    3., install the zip
    4., After first boot, let the media scan (music) settle to fill your music apps and galleries, and read the TRICKS part below for useful tips.
    Wallpaper will be garbled on first start, don't worry, just choose your own when setup completed.
    Also will start in Afrikaans lang but on first page you can choose your language, english etc

    5., Read this first post all through for a lot of information that might come handy!!

    IF YOU'RE S-ON Unlocked, YOU HAVE TO USE FASTBOOT TO FLASH KERNEL(boot.img): Unzip the Installer on PC, look for the file 'boot.img', get fastboot installed on PC. Boot your Phone into Bootloader/Fastboot. Plug in USB, and when phone is in Fastboot USB, type: fastboot flash boot boot.img - S-On boot.img HOW TO by Limewirelord, thx, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508556


    Stable, most stuff works with the known limitations, and it runs stable.
    CHANGELOG: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22708819&postcount=2


    WARNING: DON'T SELECT System Settings / Wireless&networks More / Tethering&Portable Hotspot / Portable WIFI-Hotspot!!! It will freeze/reboot in cycle your phone!!! Use Barnacle + OpenGarden wifit tethering market apps instead, it works.
    - DON'T TRY 1080p or MMS size in Video recording please, it doesnt work, and after it will make exit the Camera app when you try to take picture. If you did, a Reboot will fix it

    - MUTE IN SPEAKER MODE CALLING DOESNT WORK!! Thanks BiggJurk for reporting. Going to look at this later.

    - DON'T switch the location gps satellite off in Sys setting/location!! If you switch it off and then later on, gps won't turn on anymore, till u reboot!!

    - skype doesnt send your picture just garbled, reception is good. Notes for Google hangout: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22901207&postcount=327




    CREDITS:
    - kornyone for the kernel base
    - virtuous team for the Inquisition rom base http://www.virtuousrom.com/
    - Kernel was based off of Kornyione's kernel and kernel tree of romanbb. Credit goes to him for his masterwork. Thank you, Kornyone!
    Also to romanbb for his OC/UV kernel tree on github. Thanks!
    - Teslacoil for Nova beta launcher

    TRICKS HOW TO USE THIS ROM:

    - Gps tip http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22762887&postcount=165

    - Pattern or other secure lock screen option: Use Menu button to wake the phone, otherwise you will have to Slide first before the secure unlocking.

    - Screen on (trackpad wake replacement): you can press Power button, but the Menu and Back button will also wake the phone (not the trackpad yet, to be fixed in keylayout/keychar).

    - Wifi tethering: read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21409748&postcount=564

    - SDCard will be scanned only on the second boot after fresh install normally, so Music apps will see your music on the second time. After that works as it should.

    - symbols symbols key doesn't work, when set in keylayout it makes home button useless and doesn't work itself. Use Alt + Space instead (thx overhauling for the tip)

    - Forced 2d GPU - highly recommended to set this on in Settings/dev options, it makes most apps scrolling butter smooth, but some older apps might not like it (apps too small sized) (thx Overhauling)
    - Angry birds - you gotta tap/multitouch and zoom in/out in the starting screen first, to get it starting to accept taps. Otherwise, single touch taps wont do anything at start!!

    - Contacts look up: if on first setup after it, typing names doesnt look up contacts try this: "I can confirm that this worked for me to get contact search by name working correctly while composing an SMS. I removed my Google account from the sync menu, waited a few min, then added my Google account back in the sync menu."

    If you like it, hit the Thanks button! Consider donation if you like what's provided here, it took a lot of time to get things work with doubleshot.

    UPDATES:
    None since 1.1.3

    CHECK 3rd post for KERNELS and ADDONS (wifi calling)

    Useful:

    wireless tether for wifi tethering: barnacle tethering on market + https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether, BOTH needed, read here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21409748&postcount=564

    Screenshot app Just press Power + VolDwn exactly at the same time. If you want another way, look for Screenshot ER lite on market.

    sdcard pc mounting with usb workaround (COSTS MONEY!I'm not affiliated with it, just mentioning) this works with Pyr-O-Ice: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.protocol.x.USB&hl=en - mounting SDcard to PC and still can use it with the phone at the same time, and works flawlessly.... Also you can use a simple script instead the app: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21210045&postcount=328

    KERNELS:

    - Slight UV fallback to this if troubles with Middle 2% battery spare
    http://www.4shared.com/zip/5Pq4QL8h/pyr-o-ice-105-OCUV-kernel-v1-s.html

    - Middle UV fallback to this if troubles with Extreme 5% battery spare
    http://www.4shared.com/zip/Rs7eRSp4/pyr-o-ice-105-OCUV-kernel-v3-m.html

    CAREFUL WITH THIS LAST ONE, WONT HARM YOUR PHONE, BUT THE Undervoltage (while eats less battery) in many cases might cause reboot or blackout:
    - Extremely UV (careful with this, might cause screen blackouts on some devices) 8% battery spare
    http://www.4shared.com/zip/eZSDl5fa/pyr-o-ice-105-OCUV-kernel-v2-e.html

    From recovery, no wipe needed. ROM comes with the Slightly UV version.


    ADDON:


    Wificalling addon - please test:
    -- this here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22563307&postcount=156 seems to work better, tho its not perfect

    If you want more AOSP (htc camera is included in this rom, which is better in some ways, but some prefer AOSP look) then there's an AOSP looking ICS camera on market with Ads, which works pretty nice (after a second start, first it might freeze, second it should work from that on.) Look up mobylinx "Camera ICS"
