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

There's a major issue with the dialer in 1.1.3, I've reverted the links back to 1.1.2 for the time being

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

http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1399238

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 imoseyon leanKernel 3.6.0
  • Advanced Power Menu w/ reboot and screenshot options
  • Rooted and busybox preinstalled
  • All apks deodexed/zipaligned/optimized

Credits
  • Google: for creating ICS and the AOSP
  • birdman: for CMDA build, proprietary files help, helping me fix camera effects
  • kejar31: APM, auto restore fix, and more
  • CyanogenMod: Trebuchet launcher, back button app killer, T9, lockscreen, navbar, and more
  • paulobrien/romanbb: facebook sync fix
  • romanbb: volume controls, volume wake, and more
  • rascarlo: custom boot animation and wallpapers
  • imoseyon: leankernel source code
  • jrummy16: Performance settings
  • xoomdev: clock controls and more
  • syaoran12: customizeable batteries, miui bar, and more

And anyone I may have missed, thank you!

*The remainder of the changelog can be found in the 2nd post

Requirements
  • Sprint CDMA Galaxy Nexus
  • 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
  • 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 think so, but as I don't own the device, I'm hoping someone else answers this.

What's Sprint updates do anyways?

If it is based on the Sprint shipped ROM, I don't see why it wouldn't. Sprint Update is an app that tells you about new stuff with Sprint, including apps, usage tips, etc. I actually find it annoying.

bigxie, this ROM is looking great. Thanks for getting it over to Sprint. Will try it out tomorrow...

Edit: Very nice change log and documentation too.
