Check out his github. You won't be able to just copy those files on top, I believe. He had a special frameworks/base as well iirc.

Thanks for the quick response, h8rift!

Looking here in the github, I'm noticing some special code magic involved in making the fourth virtual key respond.

I'm guessing I would need to download the source code for rohan's AOKP build, find the device_evita.mk file, add those two lines of code to the appropriate place, compile the ROM, and flash it on my HOX. Right?

Sounds like a fast and simple quick-fix to me, lol. If that's the case, then I would need some serious reading to do, as I've never compiled ROMs. :eek:

Firstly, excellent ROM tnx you!!

I have an issue where it does not retain LTE as the preferred network. LTE is not an option in the network settings. The only way i can get it to work is to go to *#*#4636#*#* then select LTE ONLY (wait for it to connect) then select LTE/GSM/CDMA. Only then it will connect to LTE but it loses LTE on reboot and i have to do the whole process again. It switches back to WCDMA preferred on reboots.

I am on Telstra so there are no special APNs to connect to LTE.

Great, finally i found a temp way to get LTE. i hate sense so much so won't switch back to cleanRom or so.

Thanks!

Don't know what it is or how to stop it, but I have this problem too. I lose ~11% every 8 hours in standby, with wifi, GPS and mobile data off.

EDIT: Booted into TWRP, cleared cache and dalvik cache, installed SystemPanelLite (previously used to look at CPU with and without DCM), cleared all tasks, and tested deep sleep for a few hours. The pm8921_eoc wakelock disappeared - for now - and a SyncLoopWakeLock was what kept my phone awake while the screen was off. I unchecked everything under Accounts & Sync in settings, still got a few wakelocks, set the whole thing to "off", and am now testing battery life/wakelocks again. I already reduced the drain from 11%/8 hours to 6%/8 hours.


Any other suggestions??? I'm having the same problem on a different Rom. I can't figure out what this process is linked to..

    Installation instructions: (updated)
    Download ALpha 4 and ICS gapps
    Reboot into recovery
    Nandroid Backup (optional, but good if you want to be able to go back to your exact previous setup if you are unsatisfied)
    Wipe/Factory Reset
    Install Alpha 4 + Gapps
    Power on phone, might as well setup your accounts and such while you're here
    Reboot into recovery
    DO NOT WIPE
    Install latest build from h8rift
    Enjoy latest build/fixes with working data

    IMPORTANT
    As of Alpha 4, the app switch key is returned to the app switcher function. The menu button is now implemented in the space to the right of the app switch button. Obviously the new menu button isn't visible, but a menu press will be triggered when you touch the area to the right of the app switcher button. See below if you don't want this new feature.

    This is for all those who were unhappy with the new menu button implementation:

    Flash this zip to revert to the old app-switcher as menu button mapping (to make supporting 2 maps easier for me, the invisible button will function as app-switcher)

    Status Update

    Quick update on the status of this ROM, I have some summer reading due tomorrow that I've barely started so it will be short.

    I haven't been able to work on CM9 for a while because I've been too busy. My cousins were in town for 2 weeks then I went to I/O.

    I probably won't be updating this ROM until kernel source is finally released or Jelly Bean is open sourced and we can fix some more bugs.
    intervigil is working on getting our repos merged into the official CM repos, so this will eventually be an officially supported device.
    Once Jelly Bean is pushed to AOSP I will be hard at work to port that to our wonderful phones, until then I am using my new Galaxy Nexus as my primary phone just because the software is so great.
