This is my first post on XDA so I wasn't able to ask under that thread. By the way, If the Dev happens to see this, congrats and thanks for a great ROM so quick out of the gate for ICS- hats off to him and others who worked on it. My question is whether or not the new ICS Siyah kernels are compatible with the Rom and if Extweaks is safe to use with or without any kernel changes. My main reason for asking is that Id like to adjust the touchscreen sensitivity a bit using Extweaks. Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify this for me.
One last question re: the new ICS Roms for the I777- I've noticed a considerable drop in Data speeds on all 3 I've flashed. Do I need to make any adjustments to the APN settings with these newer ROMS or better to leave them alone. Thanks again.

I'm almost positive those are not compatible yet. I agree about the touchscreen sensitivity, though.

ShoStock2 comes with 3 apn's. Did you try them all to see if you get better speeds?
Regarding Siyah, NO, not yet
Thanks guys- I overlooked the APN's so ill definitely try those out. I love the Rom but the screen sensitivity is quite an adjustment for me. At the rate the dev is updating though, I figure a solution will come along soon.

I tried the other two APN's with reboots in between and am still only at around 300k download and 900k upload, if the Speednet numbers are accurate. On previous GB Rom's I consistently got at least double this on dl and much less on uploads. I am not around WiFi connections that much so the disparity in speed was quickly evident. I haven't used speednet's app for some time and can't remember the name of the app(German company I wanna say) which I liked more. Does anyone happen to know the name of it or another besides Speednet they recommend?

Shoman went back to KK6 modem in latest release due to idle battery drain and spotty speeds. What modem are you using, what RC are you on?
Modem
I've been on RC5 since this morning, however the data speeds have been this low on RC2,3 and 4. Phone Bricker 1.0 produced similar results, by the way. I thought perhaps this was an issue with the kernel at first until subsequent updates didn't correct it. I don't live in a 4G area, but I used to get anywhere from 1-2 mbps download speeds sitting on the same sofa I am now. I flashed back to a late GB Rom(Hellraised VK-Stable) briefly the other day, which resolved the problem. I'm not overly concerned about it, but I haven't seen any reports of data speed variances as severe as mine. I'll definitely try what you recommend though, as I love the new handful of ICS Roms now out.
Look here for alternative modems:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361393
Also you can check with google maps which modem is best for your area(directions in the same thread)
I thought I would chime in on this one too as I just flashed RC5 a few minutes ago. I was running FakeRom before this one which is based off the i777 leak with the new modem and I was getting great speeds with that modem!! I wasn't on it long enough to get a feel for battery drain but the speed improvements were significant. With the UCK6 modem I can only manage about 1MB download but with the new modem I was getting 3MB consistently. I tried all 3 APN settings as well with no change in speed. What's the process for flashing a new modem?
Also, on the i777 leak I was getting Quadrant scores of 4000 but now I'm getting scores of 2900. Is that a kernel based issue? It feels like a lot more lag than the leaked version.
HOWEVER, I love love love the ROM. The overall look and feel is fantastic and Shoman did a great job with it! I can't wait for some of these issues to be resolved and see just how great it'll be!!

Modem flash is a simply CWM flash like anything else.
Yea I was being an idiot and not thinking flashed the new modem and I'm actually getting worse speeds than before. Strange!
I'm going to mess around with different modems, settings, etc. until I find one that works best in my area. The quadrant scores bother me though. I actually haven't even check SetCPU so maybe it's just scaled back by default.
Thanks!
I love the map concept- thanks for the link. I just flashed the "local favorite"- UCKH7. No noticable difference on Speedtest, but I'm going to test it out for a while. I always got great results from both KK6 and KH7 on GB Roms, so this is a mystery to me.

Word of advice. Quadrant scores don't mean BLEEP!! Scores vary from run to run and its no real indication of real world performance.

Completely understood and the only reason I even bothered to run Quadrant was because I could feel a bit of lag and I was surprised to see such a difference. Made some small SetCPU changes and I'm back in the mid-3000's so I'm happy.
By the way, the APEX launcher is freaking awesome!! Thanks again to Shoman for the ROM!!

One last question, is it possible to use the MMS.apk from UnOriginal with the ICS framework? I completely love the look of that MMS UI and was going to try copying it in but wondered if it was too different?
I installed RC4 last night and noticed issues with my signal dropping from H+ to 3G regularly. I'm currently downloading RC5. Hopefully the modem change will fix it. Oddly enough I didn't really notice any drastic changes in speed from stock to RC4, though my area is terrible for data speeds.
Finally!!
Guys,
I just flashed UCLC2, downloaded from the link kindly provided above:
Update: the speeds are improved but are erratic so I'm now hesistant to call this modem the cure at all after seeing this.

That's the true connection. Idle is normal on 3g and it transfers data on h+.
AT&T hides that by making it say h+ all the time.

Ive noticed when I flashed the synergy rom it was very lag and the 3D was annoying and I could not turn it off.
As well the font of the apps looked very blurry like.

Synergy uses Ziggy's kernel. Lately, his kernels have been plagued with lag and other issues, in my opinion. Chingy's ROMs use the same kernel and had the same issues. I couldn't make the lag go away except for using the performance governor, which I don't consider a viable solution to any performance problem. Whatever he does to screw up the governors also makes them impossible to modify. I switched to Imoseyon's, then DreamKernel. Both performed better than Ziggy's as far as lag, and both registered better benchmarks; between 200 to 400 better on Quadrant using the same ROM and nearly identical clock speeds. Ditch Ziggy's and try Imoseyon's kernel. I think you'll see much quicker response.

FrankenROM... I mean Synergy, isn't for me either. If you're looking for an excellent Sense experience, BAMF is at the top of that game as far as features and performance goes. Th3ory ROMs aren't bad, and neither are Chingy's Gingeritis ROMs once you get that POS Ziggy kernel out of there.
BAMF Forever has been the best ROM I have used to this day. Smooth, very functional, and visually pleasing. Plus the Batman Easter egg is pretty sweet.
I have a question though if anybody cares to give a suggestion. I was thinking about trying a custom kernel with Forever, but I'm not sure which one to try: Lean or Dream. I'm also wondering if I would be better off leaving well enough alone. Anyone?

I've used both Imoseyon's and Dream with Forever. Both perform very nicely. I'm not sure I could even say one is better than another with any certainty. I haven't tried Lean with the smartassV2 yet. I haven't had any real issues that weren't related to radios. For some reason, depending on the radio, the screen doesn't come back on every now and then. Maybe it is the kernel, but I haven't seen anyone else talk about that issue.
Yes! I thought it was just me - I liked everything about Synergy except how it ran. I experienced the lag too and it was just really glitchy for me. But I loved how it looked - maybe I should give it another try with a different kernel.....

No but you can google it
Are you guys noticing that a lot of the custom ROMs out now are pretty buggy? I have tried about 10 ROMs in the last two weeks, and usually they seem great at first. Eventually weird things start happening, like sluggish rotation behavior, or random reboots. Sometimes MMS messages will not send, sometimes texts get hung up and I have to delete all my threads... I've had my phone freeze while sleeping, and missed alarms. I find myself flashing a ROM almost every other day, because it seems that I don't notice a huge problem until it has a day to settle on my phone. One problem that really annoys me is that in the Gallery app, on some ROMs, when you rotate the phone, the picture flys off the screen for a second or so, then re-centers itself. In general I've had issues with 3G/1X, and sometimes even calls being sent to voicemail without ringing. I also notice that from one ROM to the next, battery life can be dramatically different, despite having the same exact settings.
When I had my un-rooted Evo 3D, I had barely any of those problems. I definitely never had it freeze during the middle of the night, or overheat, or get wildly-sluggish. Now, with my stock ROM, I never had as SMOOTH as an experience as the fastest custom ROM I've used, and I've also never had as great battery life as the longest-lasting custom ROM out there. I just wish there was a way to take all the good things from every ROM out there, and put it into one, perfect ROM. I have seen the ROMs that claim to do this, but they still tend to have basic flaws. It makes me think that an updated base is to blame for a lot of this. The first round of custom ROMs I had that were based off the original stock seemed rock-solid. Now I've tried just about everything, and there are glaring problems with each of them. Sometimes I am embarassed because my phone has powered off during very important times--like on-call situations at night.
I have multiple wipe APKs, but I was told that the newer superwipe was the end-all be-all of wiping, so that's what I've been using lately. Right now I am using one of the more stable ROMs, Revolution HD 1.1.1, but I still get the random picture movement when rotating in Gallery, I still get really bad 3G/1X problems, where I have to frequently turn off mobile data to get it back... I have had it reboot on me twice in the last 2 days. One thing that really pisses me off, which is not specific to this ROM, is that when I am on WIFI, MMS messages tend not to send or receive... I can't recall if the original stock ROM had this problem or not. I have this issue with stock messaging as well as Handcent. The moment I disable WIFI, my messages appear with images.
Being that I didn't have these issues with truly stock ROMs, I don't believe it is a hardware issue. Am I the only one experiencing these problems, or are others just glossing over these sort of reliability issues, and accounting them to being a flashaholic, or something similar? The only reason I keep flashing is to find one that is rock solid. If I could get the original stock ROM with battery life to get me through an entire day, I'd be happy, but it didn't come close.
What ROMs did you try?
MMS Messages send and receive over WiFi for me just fine (Sense ROM) but on AOSP, they will not.
I suggest you try one of the lesser popular ROMs, as the top ones seem to have the most issues according to my reading and research.
If you want a fast, stable and great battery life that just works check out CleanROM. It is basically stock with the junk pulled out. The dev is very hands. Worth looking at the very least.
well it's a good thing everybody is not having the same issues you are so we know to ignore this useless thread. thanks for the info and cool story bro.
i have two words for you... user. error.
i have never had one issue with cleanrom, steel rom, or WTSB rom... or smokin rom...
all of which would easily be classified as "top roms" as you put it.
and right now i am on virus' eternity 1.4.... been on it, with the same kernel, same settings, etc... for roughly two weeks. zero issues there as well.

Everyone uses their device differently, has wildly different settings, applications, amount of time per day spent doing one thing or another. In some cases we can consider there to be user error, but this really is unlikely in this case. The problem lies in the fact that we have more ROM"chefs" than developers that actually have the knowledge to code their own ROM from the ground up, instead of pasting other peoples work together and calling it an advancement. You can't provide support or bug fixes for work that isn't your's and you have little to no coding experience. Most of these roms are like some you mentioned; a ROM that just has simple things like "bloat" taken out. Those types of chefs have a purpose here, and their roms are nice for some users but they aren't doing much for the improvement of Android overall, and they don't know enough to be trying to slap features in that they can't debug...
Anyway, rant over. I think your reply was hasty and offensive, not to mention based on what I have seen, inaccurate. I think you have been lucky personally because you are using roms like clean ROM that don't add or change much. Therefore you really wouldn't experience what this user is referring to.
I get random reboots often. The mms over wifi has never been an issue though.

Yes to some extent I see your point. Smokin rom is a build based on steel rom... steel rom however, is just steel rom. Clean rom has had little issues with previous builds but scott being a dev has worked everything out and optimized that rom to the max... and it has its own tweaks to it as well. Same thing with steel rom. I'm not sure what wtsb is based off of but I have never had problems with that one either.
And virus rom is damn near flawless. I have never had a problem with... ever. Since day one. Been running 1.4 for over 2 weeks and it is just as fast as it was the day I flashed it. So im confused by the op's post when he says after a few days they have all lagged and become slow
Was I a little harsh? Maybe. But was I right to think this person is simply complaining and wasting my time? Absolutely. This thread is just him complaining, not problem solving, not helping anybody, just knocking people's hard work when the real issues are found on his end obviously.

Well ViperROM is actually known for having some problems. Viper is trying to fix that, but any other ROM that is posted (well some but not all) don't have any bugs unless they're posted on the OP. Any other weird hiccups you may experience will most likely be kernel related, such as the random reboots or severe battery drain. I've tried most of the ROMs here, and I have yet to experience any weird quirks unless they are the ones posted on the OP. There are some ROMs that do have weird bugs, but it's not all of the ROMs.

should you be whining about a "test" ROM having bugs? i think not, seeing as how it clearly says "Test" multiple times. what do you think test roms are for? to work out the bugs maybe. and phones are picky. all roms will not work perfectly for you. you "MUST" find the right rom/kernel combination that works best for the way you use your phone. less *****ing and more testing is all you need.

Try a fresh install.
Only use stock apps for the first couple of days your trying.
The girlfriend used to have a stock unrooted Droid x that she would complain about screwing up but it was usually her using alternative music apps and such .
Also if you use titanium backup never batch restore your apps and data. Manually update each app that you want so your not restoring any nasty app data that might be screwing up your roms
Hope this helps

Yes, I've noticed it too but you just need to use a dose of caution and ask around. I tried about a half dozen ROM's and I've found that the ones that are more "tricked out" have the most problems. Makes sense, because they are fooling with more stuff in the ROM.
That said, there are some really fast and good ones out there. Deck's ROM never gave me any trouble but it was a little TOO stock for me. I've since switched to CleanROM 2.7 and that's incredibly solid and almost as fast as the tricked out OC'd ones. So try one of those preceded with a full wipe and you should be happy.

I was originally coming onto the forum to post about how every rom/kernel combo eventually starts freezing on me after a few days of use (causing me to miss alarms/calls/etc), when I ran into this post.
I do use Titanium backup pro to batch restore and have been doing so on the Hero/Epic/Shift/3vo. This is the first device that I have had any problems with, but it does seem to coincide with titanium backup since the stock rom was butter.
What's the method of manually updating each app? Is it simply downloading from the market and restoring data to that app? And how is that any different with the likelihood of restoring "nasty app data"?
OP, do you use titanium backup to batch restore apps too?
Everyone else, is there a log file that I can look at to discover the process that triggers the freeze?
No problems on the roms I've used at all. Most of these posts do end up being user error, or just a bad phone. As someone else suggested, try Cleanrom. It is bullet proof. Nothing fancy, but it works forever.
If there were more problems, there would be a ton more threads like this. Yet we only see a post like this every week or so...

I can not find code: "persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=1"
Tried Root Explorer and Rom Toolbox and neither showed this. I am running Joker's 1.4 kernal not sure if that could possibly make any difference???
what rom cm doesn't have it think its only stock or stock based I'm on rocko and its there also just did the file swap can't say it helped yet but no problems with it so far don't think in going to try the unthrottle mod though looks terribly risky of having to sbf the line in my prop is immediately after cdma ril........

Currently running CM7.2 and the code literally isn't there at all which leads me to believe that you could just delete the entire thing and it would either help or hurt your speed on Sprint's network.

idk thread says if you put a 0 you lose internet and zep was looking into it saying it can only be turned on or off not adjusted but then again said maybe it could be seems like it needs more research/testing but hell as horrible as sprint network in my areas is especially without 4g and flakey wifi anything that can help im trying
so i have been running this for a full day now and can say both mods seemed to have improved my stability and speed of internet saying this because in my are the 3gs are more like no gs and withe mod1 and 2 in place ive gotten a very reliable connection and much improved ( not to the point of worth shouting about but ) i a using null settings on mod 1 just leaving it blank and ive done the file swap in the second mod i want to try the unthrottle bit but im no dev and dont want to play with it not knowing exactly what it could do to my magnificent mopho. gl folks hope this works for you guys as well as it "appears" to be for me
Im on cm9 and its also not there, well it wasn't i added persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=10 to the ril sections, and my results where better data speeds on the cm9 which has been terrible btw. going to try mod 2 while im at it.

So doesn't Zep's 3G Tweak script do essentially the same or is this different somehow?
As far as I know his scripts don't but he is testing it to maybe include it or thats what I understood from reading his posts.....
Just did the whole unthrottle mod was much easier than I thought everything running great no problems at all too early to tell if it improved anything but we will see and ill report if anything has

using rocko's unlocked rom with it nulled out (left it blank) maybe placebo but feels like its better so far as adding it to cm i think cm already removes the flow control im not 100% on that but if you wanna try it make sure you nandroid and or put a .bak after your prop so you can fix if something goes awry.

his script took me from 200-500kpbs to 1000-2000kpbs 3g supercharged script with 1-5 settings setting 5 experimental took me to 2000 but up and down whole way setting 3 was pretty constant on 1500 so that is where i stayed

The location should'nt matter. You definitely dont want a # before a line that you want parsed. A # is essentially voiding that line out. It is called a comment in technical terms.

Running 6.1 build of ics, no issues at all with stock kernel but was wondering what you guys think of the glitch kernel paired with this rom? Should I make the plunge even though stock is working flawlessly or should I keep stock? I usually don't post questions and figure stuff out for myself but I want the community's opinion on it before I make up my mind. I know its ultimately my decision but any input positive or negative would be appreciated, if you are going to reply please post reasons and not just a yes or no response,
Thanks.

Well if it's working great, then don't try to fix something that isnt broken lol it would probably create more problems

I'm running glitch b3 and...I definitely recommend it if you're into tweaking. Live OC makes a pretty big difference in performance to me.
I'd agree with sendan. You're not losing any functionality with glitch, only gaining features and performance.
Also, it's just a kernel, there's no harm in trying it out. If you don't like it, restore a backup or reflash the rom. It's not like you have anything to lose.
I like glitch too. A live oc around 114-116% and 13xx as max clock makes this phone run like a dream.

Installed glitch, ran your settings and threw phone into a constant reboot. Had to flash build 1 and then 6.1 to get it back up and running. My phone doesn't play nice with glitch I guess :-/ lol

Same problem for me too.
It's very touchy, nobody will disagree with that.
and thats why I posted what I did...glitch 13.1 runs great on mtd gb roms, but glitch 14b3 for ICS seems hit or miss on some devices. Im sure it will get better as development continues, until then sotck is probably the best bet for most.

Sorry about that. My phone was running fine at 115% for about 24 and then it also threw a reboot fit like yours had.
I;m not really sure what caused it but I guess it's still a bit temperamental at this point.

Yeah I think 1200mhz is about the most my phone will handle, and that's with 100%oc so maybe if I tweak it to 115 or something I'd have to drop it down a notch. I just don't feel like dealing with a reboot fit right now

You could've just gone into recovery and erased your OC/voltage settings. Assuming you're using the glitch recovery, that is.

Every phone responds differently to OC, *especially* it seems, with the new LiveOC system in v14. I haven't seen any issues reported by people using v14 with completely stock settings, so I wouldn't call the kernel itself unstable, just the utilization of some of the features it includes. I also suspect that a lot of the people that report issues with glitch haven't read and/or taken the time to understand the LiveOC guide that is linked to in the glitch OP.

i agree...guess that i should of been more clear and said that most folks do not know how to properly setup v14 with nstools and can easily cause damage to the device...which is part of the reason i mention to stick with stock(if your not sure wth your doing lol). im currently running ths 6.1 with glitch 14 oc'd @ 1200mhz and undervolted -50 across the board, fiop/lagfree govenor and everything is working great.

Well as of almost 12 hours ago or so, I'm running 105%liveOc 12xx setting, lag free and fiop, and seems to be no issues. I had to send my backup fas in for the ota brick that happened with a lot of peoples eh03 ota. Hopefully they send me a replacement cause we arent due for upgrading till October.
So until it comes back I'm a little hesitant to play with uv. I know the basics, but still don't wanna play the boot loop game

Definitely agree that for most users the stock kernel is probably best, and it isn't really lacking any features the average user will miss. Except I thought I saw something about 6.1 not including voodoo sound? Not sure about others, but that's a must for me. Anyway, I'm personally running 110% liveOC with 1320mhz max with no undervolting and the phone feels really responsive a good part of the time. It's been good so far but I need to stress test it.

I can definitely see being hesitant with the undervolting, and especially with being able to adust ARM and INT voltages. As I understand it, you could certainly end up with a brick if things are pushed too far.
I'm currently running cm7.1, and really love it. I'm also really curious about trying out the ics roms and don't know which one to try. has anyone run both? which one did you like most and why? also, if I do a nandroid backup, is that the same as a windows image backup? ...meaning I can reinstall cm7 and glitch kernel, then flash my nandroid backup and be right where I was before I changed anything?

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
Yes you can restore a nandroid like you said as long as you are on the same ROM.
This is kind of an opinion, but I prefer Teamhacksung, as it is clean and bug-free.
ok cool. sorry about being in the wrong forum at first. so one for team hacksung, anyone else? I just want opinions as I don't think I have the time to try all the ics roms right now
aokp is by far the most solid ICS rom. its more how cyanogen use to be....lots of options to customise. THS cm9 is vanilla, meaning barebones.

This subject is opinionated and the OP should install both for a day to determine what he likes better.
Personally I used AOKP for the last six months, Yesterday I switched to CM9 experimental Linaro Build.. In my views way better than aokp..

Why?
i have the infuse but i started off using aokp switched to cm9 its been about a month.. goin back 2 aokp as of now cm9 isnt like cm7, i like tweaking and customizing as much as possible and i love the navigation bar aokp has..
Ok cool I think I'm about ready to try some out. One last question, I keep seeing things about how it's not easy to got back to cm7 from ics? Can someone give me some insight on this incase I don't like ics? Something with the different file types? I also want to keep my eh03 radio if I do end up going back to cm7
I'm now a little confused, after reading the guide for installing ROMS, in particular the ICS ones, arent all the ICS Roms based on what is stated- MTD CM9? So is there a difference aokp vs cm9? I guess what would be the large differnces between any two for example? Different kernels?

well i got impatient and went ahead and did it lol. i went with aokp 40.1 and devil kernel .79. the first try was a disaster, what seemed to work went straight to crash and reboot when waking from the lockscreen. i thought it was my oc i was messing with so i turned it back to stock volts and frequencies. low and behold it did it again but this time would not boot up, would not flash anything from recovery, would not format anything from recovery, it was totally bricked. i even tried reflashing cwm though odin and it was a no go.
finally after a few hrs of gathing info, i flashed the stock froyo rom and it unbricked it and i tried aokp again. this time i used aokp build 40, and devil kernel v.72 and everything is beautiful and works perfect, rock solid stability with 1200mhz multiplier oc, 110% fsb oc on liveoc totaling 1362mhz i think. the ics launchers suck and are laggy for me, i dunno why but go launcher is smoooootthhh and so is everything else on the phone. i cant find anything that doesnt work, im not regretting this or looking back at all, thanks a bunch for the help guys. im also pretty sure its snappier and quicker than cm7.2 was for me on my 1.3ghz overclock and glitch 13.1

ive seen it but was a little wary of it lol. for those wondering and addicted to voodoo color... at first i was worried i would loose the deep color and gamma control that i have with voodoo color, but the device color options do a really good job with it and there is a gamma control and it works great, no washed out colors or anything of that nature. im pretty hardcore on my vivid colors so i have the gamma maxed out minus a tad of green but it looks great.. to me.
for the guy who originally mention v0.85, so far its working great, cleared cache, dalvik, and ran ultimate kernel cleaning script then installed and it seems to be running great. the only thing now is the long term stability test, over a week ive had zero freezes FCs, or any issues with .72, i hope i can get this with .85. it seems a little snappier and nandroid is working again. thanks a bunch for the link, a few hours of searching for it and google still didnt help me. ill get back to everyone on the stability of it for me, running 110% fsb oc on nstools and slightly undervolted. im sure theres a ton of info already on other threads but ill still report back. thanks guys
edit: im still having issues with bln, is there a quick fix with it? it worked right away with my botched install of 40.1 and .79 kernel, witch was completely unstable, but now on 40, and .85 its still not working, any ideas? also on first boot from cold soft keys were unresponsive but seem to be working now. im not complaining as i know there are newer versions of the devil kernel but im trying to find a very good balance of functionality and stability.
