I guess that no one answers that because there's no one using that!

You really care about that to the point of reflashing the rom?! Geeeeez!
I don't even know where's that on the definitions, never cared about that.

Oh yes i care, i need to be perfect and this is holding me down :p

Beside this is a damn fast rom, cool pictures and nice recording without lag like in STOCK. Battery is good, it's stable and beautifull, i like it.

And the status bar is buggy, every time i change the theme, is dissapear and needs restart ... (I guess it's because the center clock)

I tested gps again today on the way to work. I had constantly on GPS Test Plus and didn't have unlocks. About 25 minutes road that is. Will also try with a navigator tomorrow but I don't think I'll be facing issues!

no matter how many themes I'll mod someone else will not be satisfied, so I created one that I like. Themes can be changes easily. Afterall, I am sure that noone here uses a rom the way it is. No matter how cool a rom may look, everybody changes launchers, themes, apps. The main goal of a custom rom actually is to have good performance to the most achievable level.

PS: I was thinking the battery jumps while phone is charging... maybe this is not a bug but a safety measure by the kernel to search for charging errors/misleading information about charge percentage. That's why it goes back and forth till it reaches the true 100% level. Maybe that's way battery life is good on this rom (cause of the kernel). It's just a thought!

How is the audio recording?
In Miracle the audio recording was way less louder then the Audio in video recordings.

Low UI Sound

Hi itasoulas,

Once again a great ROM. Thanks for this.
I got one quick question, pls reply when u get time.
Why the UI sound (like screen low/unlock) is so low on this ROM. Is this intentional ? If so, can you please advise how can I make it loder.
I have tried audio fx widget but that seems to fail to increase UI sound.

Once again many thanks for gr8 ROM.

For those who has problems with statusbar ... here is the answer.

Flash this in recovery (mount system first)

Remember that after flash this center clock and ICS Settings are GONE !!!!!!

which player are you using? Tried n7player, real player and poweramp all with no eq. First was playing songs very loud. The other two played songs to lower lever. Output volume then must be player specific. Power amp though has a preamp in eq which you can set to max to increase sound level

Audio fx widget is simply a sound enhancement tool not a preamp volume increase thing

Thanks for the reply...however, the issue i was trying to raise is something diff. I was talking bout ui sound vol. Like screen lock sound, button press sound, camera shutter sound etc etc.
It not a kernel issue for sure. I am using zimage kernel was an issue with firekernel as well.

Ics layout with right clock position

for those who want clock at the right position but still preserve the ICS style setting just do as follow...:):):)

1. unzip Apocalypse Layouts-patch..

2. replace SystemUI.apk in /system/app folder with Original MIRACLE V4
SystemUI.apk

3. zip back...

4. flash via cwm..

that's all..

:cool::cool::cool::cool:

OR just flash this ics layout again..

I think he meant the system sounds, not while playing music. He's asking about the sound when locking or unlocking the phone. Correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

ROM is awesome...fast.
Only one question...can we use performance setting from Miracle?

guys... the guide for performance written in MIRACLE thread is a general guidance concerning all roms not only MIRACLE or APOCALYPSE. So you can use it, yes. One more thing that saves you battery big time...

Setting\Accounts and sync\ Background Data....you can tick this off. Turn it on when launching play store to download or update apps. If don't it will prompt you anyway.

As lot of people asked why didn't I make signal bars blue. It's meant to be blue when background data are on and there is an exchange of data. That's why. In CM9 signal bars are always blue but when there is an exchange of data, an up/down arrow appears on backgroung of signal. So as you guess, because in cm7 that option is not available you get blue signal bars when back data are working and grey signal bars when nothing is sending/receiving information.

    Created by... itasoulas
    Based On... CM7 Official Nighty 01072012
    Date Pilot Version Added On XDA... 09-06-12

    =================================================

    Welcome to APOCALYPSE
    After the success of MIRACLE V4, now comes... APOCALYPSE! Based on latest CyanogenMod 7.2 RC3 by vo-1, APOCALYPSE was modded in order to satisfy the majority of users concerning both looks and performance. It wasn't an easy task as the level since MIRACLE V4 was already set high. APOCALYPSE exceeds that level! And for that, a lot of people contributed, some with their desire to help by making things and some with their own mods in other threads from which I took the opportunity to adapt their work in this rom. So please read the thanks section at the end of this post to find out who those people are. To end this, I suggest you read carefully what I write cause I do this in order to help you and save you time for asking questions. Welcome to APOCALYPSE!

    =================================================

    CAUTION: All things written here were made to help you install the rom and extras the right way and also point at bugs or other things. So please read so as to avoid asking questions that already have answers. Keep thread clean!

    Hints and tips:

    1. XPERIA S Launcher supports adw icon packs. Choose your pack from launcher preferences
    2. Wallpaper Wizardriii is a cool app that lets you crop walls portrait or landscape way. Tweak it's setting for optimal performace
    3. You can also install QuickPic and use it as your default image viewer and use Wallpaper Wizardriii for croping portrait walls
    4. To mount USB after applying layouts, you need to press image on screen... there's no button
    5. ICS Theme version is 032-build-408
    6. ICS Layouts version is 012
    7. acpather v5.31 was used to patch apps and framework
    8. XPERIA S Home Launcher version is 0.9.1b
    9. A tutorial of how to create an ext4 mount script with link2sd is attached in this post
    10. New (10.06.12) S98system_tweak for AE. For those already installed it, replace in system/etc/init.d and select full permissions. Thanks to mxxmxxm for pointing that out!

    =================================================

    Tested and working great
    -- WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth, Torch, Proximity, Compass, BLN, 3G/2G Data
    -- Battery life seems very good!

    =================================================

    Bugs and issues
    -- If too many notices on status bar then will overlap centered clock
    -- Even though Sansation font was created for multi-language support and complex writting, you may experience some weird characters FIXED
    -- Sometimes when pressing search in Play Store or address bar on browser, app dissapears and only keyboard shows. If you start typing app will appear again
    -- Low screen backlight when booting phone but brightness gets back to normal level after a few secs. It's a FireKernel issue and maybe this was done to save battery
    -- On 16.06.12 update torch is working but not in status bar as a power widget.

    3. Xperia S Theme for MDPI (both original and transparent - I tested that and looks very good)

    7. XPERIA S Wallpapers
    8. Cosmic Flow Live Wallpaper
    9. CM7.2-RC3-APOCALYPSE-BAREBONE-12.06.12 mms, camera, real player and email are gone but beats+alsa+audiofx, torch and livewallpaperspicker are still on.
    10. ICSApocalypse-Original Theme Still 90% transparent windows with blue frame/white glow but no transparency in all other aspects. You have to push it manually to system app and change permissions to rw-r--r--
    11. Sansation-Regular Edited by itasoulas. This is the DroidSans.ttf font. To be used for those download rom prior to 12.06.12. Rename the file to DroidSans and replace the one in system\fonts, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. That should fix weird characters issue for most languages
    12. To crop portrait walls search Google Play Store for "Crop Wallpaper" app. Does not run in background. Best ever
    13. APOCALYPSE-19.06.12 + ICS Layouts ==> My personal mod of this rom ALL IN ONE .rar file

    Ok. Cool down a bit, people.

    First thing - I've cleaned six pages of offtopic crap. It's the development thread for god's sake! :mad:

    I'm the moderator of four subforums, but also a developer of ROM for X8. We have about 20000 downloads of our work per month. Some comments in our development thread is a pure garbage because people don't know how to do basic things and report that as a bug. Battery life is one of the main subjects in our thread. Smartphones are like PC's - fast CPU, LCD display etc. that eats hell lot of energy - every app consumes additional amount - if you have 60+ apps, tweaks etc. don't complain about battery life.
    Want a good battery? Buy yourself an old Nokia :sarcastic:

    To be honest dropping support because of trolls/n00bs isn't a good idea. You can always PM me or TRusselo and I'll speak to them in the hard way.

    XDA is for developers and they will be always protected. If you disagree with this rule - just leave, otherwise moderators team would help you to do this.

    Developers are here to do some software, not to be a root of endless knowledge and private helpdesk.

    There is no democracy on XDA, you are not the most important person in the world.

    Read the XDA Mantra, then decide what if you want to be part of XDA.

    itasoulas - take your time buddy. We are here to help you.

    please be patient everyboy. As I was really exhausted with this project, I needed to take some time off but will soon come back with update, probably this weekend. APOCALYPSE WILL GET BETTER! After all this rom has already loyal fans, I cannot let them down!
