I have a few questions would appreciate anyone answering them
1.Can the phone now be used as a USB host?
2.How do I change the GPS conf? I live in India and it takes ages for d GPS to get a location
3.Will I need to do a wipe if I'm upgrading from alpha 5 to the beta version?

- the phone already worked as usb-drive when connected to a pc in the previous versions
- with root you can use this app to set the ntp server to a location near you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps
- i didn't do a wipe when updating in the past, just went into recovery, applied the ics .zip and the gapps.zip afterwards and then rebooted the device; didn't have any problems so far...

Been using the app for a day now, damn it's smooth. Few things that I noticed.

- Batterypercentage is suddenly dropping very fast. Looks like the app is using a lot of battery. On stand-by it's ok, but if you use the browser or Whatsapp, you will notice a lot of drainage. Strangely when I use Poweramp the battery is doing ok (on other roms Poweramp is eating battery like crazy). Also sometimes there's a big drop in percentage. Like going from 50 to 41 in just 20 minutes when the phone is sleeping and all apps are closed (with using the longpress Home-button)?

- The headset icon doesn't show in the notification bar when a headset is connected.

- When opening pictures in Whatsapp, the're zoomed in and it's almost impossible to zoom out. It's like thee phone things it's the whole picture but it itsn't. This could also be a Whatsapp/ICS issue.

- Wifi is unstable, it's like the connection to wifi is much weaker in this rom? Since this rom, almost no connection availible in my bedroom.

- Impossible to get the slide unlock (after phone sleep) and patern unlock (after 30 minutes) together? You can choose only one unlock option, but in other roms (pre-ICS) you always had the slide and could choose to have a patern or code lock also (after a while).


Besides this, I love the rom, can't wait for the new Alpha!
- The battery is behaving the same here, but more extreme. It went from 70 to 19 in five minutes of use. I'll try a calibration tonight and see if it helps.

- I have the same issue with Whatsapp pictures, can't zoom out..

- Also no headphone icon in status bar. When I checked for wakelocks (because of the battery thing) I noticed an AudioOut_1 wakelock. I didn't listen to music so I don't know yet why I got that one. It spent 12% of the juice.

Wifi seems to work perfectly here, better than with the 2.3.3 Sense ROM. With that ROM it would get a good signal, but after a while it couldn't get any data through

- I use widgetlocker which seems to work fine.

I miss my HTC_IME mod :(

Launcher Pro (plus) only force closes here when I try to add the Calendar widget, so try to avoid that one.. All other LP stuff works on my Legend (alpha 5). I use the standard Agenda/Calendar widget..

Alternative: Go Launcher with Sense 4.0 theme. It is less smooth, I think it does not use the HWA, and it lacks some good looking widgets (sense-like), but I find the app drawer better compared to Launcher Pro's drawer.

edit2: I found it strange that almost everything is black and blue, but the People/contacts and messaging apps are white/blue. Not very good looking IMO and a big battery waste, so I tried to "fix" this with latest themed ICS apps from here, but no luck yet. Stuck with bootloops, so for now back to original. Maybe someone else can try in the meantime?

edit3: The one in the 2nd attachment might look even better.

Just some thoughts and sorry for off-topic ;)

I've had experiences with "widget locker" and it seems that it sucked the battery life out of my Legend pretty quickly if I used my phone extensively. IMO if you don't really need it then not using that may benefit your battery life.

You can try to reinstall your gapps , and do a dalvik cache wipe before you install it.

The differende between to full an dthe lite gapps version is that the lite contains less google apps then the full. If you extract those zip files on a pc, then you can see wich apps are installed in the folder system/apps/...
