Nice thread title. ICS. Very informative. This is a known issue. Although I don't use Facebook myself, u could always try emailing the dev.

There's an app, I think it's called haxsync, that might work for you...Haven't used it so I don't know for sure if it is ics compatible or not

At the very least I would say to move to a rom that is still being supported

You started off by asking a question in general. How bout I move this to q and a and maybe it will help... (saved another life here.)

well it does definately work on ice cream sandwich i have two roms that the facebook sync works on (stock rom, and shostock rom) but the really cool roms that i seem to like the foxhound, and the cynogenmod and aokp? the facebook sync doesnt work on any of those.
Right now im using the shostock rom, facebook sync is working okay..\
Another question, can you connect to KIES with custom roms?

I don't think he read your statement at all.
Just vaporize it!
Meaningless title anyway.

Every time I have a problem with an app I'm gonna post it here. Because obviously its xdas fault. Wrong. Lol. Its an app developers job to make his app work with the different versions of android, not vice versa.

We aren't going to answer the second question. It's personal preference and we aren't going to say one dev is better than the other. Also just google the first question. You need to learn how to search

[Q] Does the Omega 4.0 Custom ROM 'Keep in Memory' ?

Does anyone know if the Custom ROM 'Omega v4.0' for the Galaxy S3 has the option (like Apex Launcher) to KEEP IN MEMORY..?
The ONE and ONLY reason i want to change ROMs is because my homescreen widgets and icons are CONSTANTLY re-drawing whenever i exit an app, and its WINDING ME UP!
Does the same for any other launcher!!
Apex launcher (whilst kept in memory) seems to be better, but i would prefer the stock launcher so was thinking of changing to the Omega ROM.
So yeah, back to my question, can the Omega v4.0 ROM be 'KEPT IN MEMORY'..?
Why not you ask the developer himself?

Why you no post in thread?
But aside from another post. Contacts should be edited by clicking on image of contact, then clicking on the little person symbol accross from their name, then menu, and then edit.
Same as ICS.
Accuweather sucks and kills battery, and JB is still in development. questions like that make you seem like a noob.
and IDK on the last one, not running it.

DAGr8 AOKP JB Preview Q&A

Not sure if any of you have run into this yet, but I am using Pocket Casts to listen to netcasts, when I shut off the screen everything keeps playing fine, however when I turn back on the screen the phone soft reboots. Does it at the same spot every time. I tried moving the netcasts to the sdcard instead of external sd as a test. Still does it...
This happens to me on both the Aug 8th and 9th build from DAGr8, But does not happen on any of the other JB previews builds. And Yes, I wiped everything
I use my phone in the car for netcast listening a ton, so this is something that keeps me from using this daily unfortunately.
Other than that, everything else seems to run great. just seems like an odd thing to reboot the phone, maybe it has something to do with the audio players and how they interact with the lock screen as they like to put up a player wallpaper thing on the lock screen...
Thanks for the Q&A!!
I can not get google now working. It hangs on initializing then cant connect. I know on jamies cm10hybrid/ jb we needed the internal kernel....DAGr8 Do you think that kernel would solve the prob? Im not sure if you use Gnow....or if you recommend using a diff kernel...( going to re read op now too)
Thank you so much for AOKP!

The hotwire-internal kernel should work fine with DAG's JB rom, not sure if it'll fix your issue or not, but should be easy to test. But I don't see a kernel package from DAG if you wanted to flash back...
I prefer the hotwire-internal kernel myself as it has BLN support where as the R5S1 included with this rom i think does not? if that's important to you...

Excellent observation! I would like to know this too. Ill just flash it anyway. What could go wrong? lol. Also sometimes the voice to text option doesnt connect. I think youre onto something here Rocket42.
I know we're not supposed to ask for ETA's and im not but does anyone know (in lamen's terms) the reason why camcorder doesnt work? Is it a compatibility issue cause JB is so new?

I think the issue is in the CM10 base - JB PA also has broken video at the moment.
Edit: I see JB PA dropped an update this morning and I didn't see reference to broken video on the OP. Maybe a matter of time? :fingers-crossed:
Lol tried the kernel and the Google now zips for ICS last night .neither worked hopefully build 2 works now

Loving the Aug 9th build except for a few issues (incl the Google Now referred to above) - the changelog states that "wake on volume" is built in but it neither works nor do I see a setting to turn it on like in other CM9/CM10. Do any of you have that?
On the kernel thing would we just flash the AOKP JB and then flash hotwire's internal.zip, then followed by JB Gapps?

I can't find that setting either.
As far as the flashing sequence, that should work although I did AOKP, JB GAPPS and just a few minutes ago flashed hotwire's internal. No issues to report.
I used to change kernels all the time on my Nexus, I would just flash the kernel whenever, no wiping. Can't hurt to wipe cache/dalvik, but no need to reflash the ROM.

Anyone know how to turn off the pen pointer? I tried the fix to edit the pen file but that didn't seem to work. Also, I am getting Process:system is not responding error. Any ideas on either of these?
Features and changelog?
I'm sure I will feel dumb when someone answers this but I could not find the feature list or changelog for JB. The AOKP site only references ICS milestone 6 as the latest. I tried following the links from the DEV thread and I tried a google search which led to rootzwiki but I didn't find anything for the Galaxy Note. I'd like to try this out but I'd first like to know what is/isn't working.

New ROM, missing a couple of APKs

Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

Of they are only apks & libs you could extract them from a stock Rom and put them into yours I guess.

What is the ROM based on?
Is it Sammy or an AOKP based ROM?
If it's Samsung Based, I could take a Titanium Backup of it and send it across to you.

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.

[Q] Trying to find a ROM

Hi guys, my first thread here.
I flashed a custom ROM on my galaxy s3 i9300 a wile ago, and I am trying to find it now. I cant remember its name.
What I do remember is that the ROM came with Stweaks installed, and it had somw kind of installation tool whwre you could choose what tweaks you wanted to get installed, and what kernel you wanted to use as welk as what launcher you wanted.
If somebody knows the name, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like any other rom around. Stweaks preinstalled means it comes with eother siyah or some other kernel supporting stweaks. The fact that you could customize your installations means it had aroma which all touchwiz roms have.
Impossible to tell what rom you had with that info.

You also didnt have to download new versions of the rom to update it, you just had to update the installer.
Dont know if this info helps at all :/

Nope, I haven't the slightest idea what rom it could be. Complete out of the blue:
Omega?
Criskelo?
Did it come with the Nature UX (stock touchwiz) theme as default or some aosp theme? Was it ICS or JB?

Actually, what I was first trying to do is see if I could somehow keep the stock samsung apps (messages, gallery, camera...) on CM10.1, cause I didn't like its stock android apps too much, but I liked the themes for CM haha I guess you can't exactly do that with CM so I was looking for another more stock rom. Too bad I can't install those CM themes cause there are some really sweet ones.
Cm themes won't work with Sammy roms and Sammy apps won't work with cm
