Uff.... Just came to bed. Will download tommorow and check this out.
Loved the way you interpreted complete details of your rom.
Really wanna flash it...
Thanks for your effort.

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
 
Some slight lag at first (as expected to me right after a fresh flash of a rom) but after I use it more and more it's quite smooth. I have 2D instead of 3D with 5 homescreens, and practically nothing installed except Twitter. Pretty much at this rate the only Sense 4.x rom I can see myself using as a daily driver instead of just messing around with. All that's left is to see what my battery life is at in about 9-11 hours when I plug my phone in for bed. :p

I have been using this ROM for a day now

Besides the camera program issue, I haven't found any other issues. I run my ROMS a little different.

First on ICS/JB ROMS I run the swap file in /cache instead of the sdcard and also I change the minfree (I run a script to do it) to 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000, which for me seems to give good results.

Also the wifi calling app (VisionWifiCalling_v3.1_Android4.0.x.zip) works for me as well.

I am using the 3.0.63 advanced sense kernel r2, and was wondering what others are using and how well it is working for them.

yes, camera is fully working.

First on ICS/JB ROMS I run the swap file in /cache instead of the sdcard and also I change the minfree (I run a script to do it) to 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000, which for me seems to give good results.
Very aggressive OOM killer is bad idea for low memory devices.

Version 1.1.1 is up.

One small little thing I noticed is say if I turned on my phone, and the first app I opened was the Play store, every other app I open after that shows, well the best way to put it is kind of a screenshot like thingy of the first app you opened, if that makes sense, and hopefully if it does others know what I'm meaning. xD

This is happening when you install rom with fast rotation selected (this is experimental mod).

Version 1.1.2 is up.

There will be no more updates for a while. The Next step is MIUI v5.

I must share with you guys with my older roms - MIUI v3 and MIUI v4, but first I must translate installers :p.

Thanks, this (at least to me) does seem like the best 4.0.3 Sense ROM, using it as a DD (or is it dd).

I do have 1 question: Advantages between the different kernels (as the other Sense ROMS seem to all use the .50 kernel - unless you manually flash a new one)?

This is tuff question, everyone should test this kernels and choice favorite one. I prefer Faka 3.0.72 kernel or Advanced sense kernel r2. They have really good performance and runs very smooth (I like SIO scheduler and smartassv2 governor).

Others roms using .50 kernels, maybe because kernels .60+ have system write mounting bug. In this rom I applied workaround for this bug.

    Very small update on first post. If You use version 1.3.0, You can skip this update.

    turbo boost (and all mods that creating swap on system|data|cache partition) create swap file on cache. In this rom swap is on whole cache partition, and /cache dir is symlinked to /data/local/tmp/cache.
