Just a few qns on ICS.
1) On ICS, I notice when on WCDMA mode, the H icon does not go down to 3G icon when there is no data flow, unlike GB where it is mostly at 3G and only when there is data processing then it moves up to H. Is this normal or is it just my phone?
2) Getting my phone back from servicing and really dislike the ICS experience. Stupid scrolling, changing font doesn't change the font in all applications (like in tweetdeck and whatsapp) etc makes me want to roll back to GB the moment i get my phone back. However one thing I will miss is the ICS lockscreen (the circle one similar to the Note). Back when I was using XWLA4 on Checkrom it had a similar circle lockscreen. Is it the stock lockscreen or is that a mod from Checkrom? The slide lockscreen is pretty terrible IMO.
Gonna keep my phone stock as I'm too busy and lazy to meddle with all the rooting stuff anymore. So I just want a good slick fully stock GB rom and I'm not gonna touch any more flashing till I change my phone. Coming from Singapore using an international i9100, it makes no difference if I use some other firmware version (XWLA4 eg) as opposed to the Singapore-tailored DXKI1 etc ROMs right?
Thanks!

1.) It works properly here.
2.) Give me your ROM/firmware details before I can help on this one. Dual *#1234# to get the info

1.Try RIL match from Play Store
2. I don't know.
Disclaimer: yes I'm a noob, so please be nice
I know Jelly Bean is new and everything, but honestly, the CM10 ROM that is being worked on by Emerson is really amazing, and the only main bug I have found is the lack of ability for third party apps to consistently control the notification LED.
I have Go SMS Pro, and it has the option to set different LED colors for different people (works fine on Gingerbread). Unfortunately, it doesn't work so great on Jelly Bean. I have heard a few people have had some success with LightFlow, but I can't honestly get LightFlow to work consistently either––plus it seems to drain the battery somewhat. I'd prefer just to use the stock Go SMS Pro options than another app, but if someone can get me set up properly with LightFlow that'd be cool too.
Or, could someone just PM me when the JB notification LED option gets fixed?
I had an Incredible for almost 3 years and I loved the setup I had on it. I switched back forth between "Sense-less" (or de-sensed for Rezound users) and AOSP depending on what mood I was in. I was rooted and S-OFF.
I have been browsing through the forums, flashing various ROM, and trying desperately to catch up on all the in's and out's of our beloved phone. I really had my heart set on running CM10 once I got my Rezound, but unfortunately, bluetooth doesn't work on AOSP ROMs and that's a deal breaker. So, I've been shopping de-sensed ROMs and I can't find one that I really like 100%.
Why do I want de-sensed? I use third-party launchers because of the customization and ability to have multiple docks. Therefore, most of the Sense widgets are not needed on my phone.
The features that I am looking for:
- Based of the latest Global RUU, all VZW crap removed
- De-sensed to a degree where nothing becomes "broken" (I want everything to work. Sense camera is a must! Friendstream would be nice for Facebook contact pics.)
- AOSP lockscreen with Caller ID and Music Controls.
- No Volume screen wake.
- Long-press volume to skip songs would be nice.
I think that's it. I'll add some later if I can think of some, but these are the most important to me really. I have tried several ROMs and read the threads on most of the other candidates and I can't find one that really suits me.
If no one can point me in the direction of such a ROM, I have decided to develop my own. I have little Linux/Android experience. I am still S-ON so I have become comfortable with adb. I have a very basic understanding of how ROMs and kernel interact to make our phone work. I have some experience with C++ and VB. All I really need is some guidance.
Can I just re-flash the Global RUU and then de-Sense and de-bloat my phone by removing apks through adb? Then, if I can find Sense-compatible .zips that give me the volume controls I need, they should work right? Is that the same for compatible themes?
What gets broken when you remove Rosie? I can leave Rosie alone if it breaks the camera and such. I can just remove the unnecessary Sense widgets instead.
Is it possible to have the same lockscreen from CM10 on a de-Sensed ROM and have it fully-functional?
I have been thinking about this for a while and I have a ton of questions. If anyone is willing to help in anyway, please let me know. I love the phone, but I am dying for a ROM that really suits my needs.
Look up Adrenaline by Neo. There is a link near the end of the comments

I don't think Adrenaline is based off of the newest RUU yet. I also don't want the 5-pt lockscreen if I can't customize it easily. Is there a way to put the regular lockscreen back?
Neo has some pretty sick ROMs. I was running his CM9 until i found out that bluetooth calls don't work.

Ahh, sorry. I didn't notice the note about global. Ineffabilis is based off of global, has a desense option while flashing, and has an option for AOSP lock screen. I've heard good things about it, but haven't run it myself.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I run Ineff Deus v1.2 (global) de-sensed as my daily driver. I use a combination of Nova Prime and WidgetLocker. I believe the AOSP lockscreen is set up the way you're looking for. I know there's an option to bypass the lockscreen for incoming calls. There are a ton of options thru the Aroma installer and more in the MikTweaks menu to customize your setup.

Neomax by Neo is pretty close to what you described, themed to look like AOSP, has Sense camera but rest stripped.
It hasn't been updated to be based on global, but you can still run neomax on top of global firmware and benefit from radio improvements. I ran Neomax for two months before switching to CM9 RAGE... CM 10 is still in alpha mode and may be a while in getting to usable state on Rezound.
The good news is that apps like Nova Launcher, SwiftKey and the XDA Google Now for ICS port give you early access to Jellybean features.

Hi I'm kinda new into the development side of android coding, but I know about flashing and the other goodies. I would like to create a team to help me and our android community a revolutionary ROM for our device and then release to other developers to port to other devices. I know that I'm probably going to get ridiculed for posting this hear but I have a few cool ideas that I would like to share that I think would make the Android experience on our phone way cooler.
Here are some of the features that I want to add into the ROM that I want help developing that don't exist and that may already exist:
Add widgets and apps into the pull down menu bar and implement that to when the device is locked. Its kinda like the same idea as in 4.2 but I think can be made more better and efficient.
Various build.prop tweaks for better performance.
Removing the bloatware apps from the ROM for more system space and better battery life.
Automatically drop 4g into 3g after a certain amount of time when phone is not being heavily used for better battery life.
Add a widget to switch between 4g and 3g into the notification bar.
Implement the auto arrangement of apps and widgets on the home screen into ICS like jelly bean has if we build off a stock ICS base.
Implement the 4.2 camera app
Implement the 4.2 gallery app
Implement the 4.2 keyboard app
Implement the 4.2 Gmail app
Implement Google Now
Implement a fully working Google wallet app
Add options to switch betwewn a scrolling/non scrolling wallpaper.
Add options to switch between a 5x5/5x4/4x4 launcher.
Add an option when listening to music to go into airplane mode to save battery life.
Add various audio tweaks for enhanced audio.
Increase the auto sync delay over network connection for better battery life.
Implement a CPU/GPU app to overclock for better performance and underclock for better battery life.
Add better and customizable auto brightness settings.
Allow for custom boot images.
Add 4 way Reboot menu.
Add a brightness slider.
Implement an unlocked bootloader.
Implement holding the back button to kill an app.
Possibly implement the Sony Bravia Engine.
Implement nexus 4 notification sounds.
And possibly implement multiview for apps.
I know that some of these things already exists and I think some of the things that don't exist in our current ROMs can be created with some creative coding.
I think that if this project gets up and running we could build this off of a stock VZW JB ROM or we could build this off of a stock ICS ROM .
Let me know what you guys think about this maybe insane idea level of modification to a ROM and hopefully we can get something started.

Hey guys,
My dad has been using my RAZR running 4.1.2 for a year now and I plan to move it to a KitKat based ROM. I've haven't visited these forums in a while so I'm really out of touch with the ROM scene.
I need help in choosing a simple Kitkat ROM (preferably no pie/halo and no extensive customization). Stability is of paramount importance.
Any suggestions will be extremely helpful. Kudos!

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Slimkat. I have been following this ROM since its creation. This last build, 5.2 is seriously flawless, not just saying that because it is my favorite. I have tried other KK Roms for the XT912 on VZW and they all seem to have some kind of issue. APN issues, system UI crashes, random restarts, freezes forcing me to reboot, high battery drain, wakelock issues. The 5.2 SK, with the latest Slim GAPPS seems stable enough so far to flash to my stock slot... still waiting to pull that trigger though. I have been running this setup for about two weeks now since I got my insurance replacement and it has been great! I have not had any crashes, freezes, or lockups. Everything works flawlessly (Wifi, bluetooth, MMS, etc)
It does not have a lot of in depth extras like pie, halo, or cpu control. You can install those later if you want. I have trickster mod installed as a CPU governor, but the stock kernel and settings are just fine too. It does have all the necessary KK features and other extras I like. Full dark, quick tiles and customization, lots of shortcuts, status bar customizations, privacy guard settings for apps, and most of all great battery life. I consistently get a good 20 hours on a charge with fairly heavy usage with voice calls, and streaming siriusXM app, or play music.
Total time from rooting, flashing the newest SS (which allows for bigger partitions now!!!), D-loading and flashing SK rom and Gapps, then restoring apps/data from TI backup all took about an hour or so with absolutely no problems. This ROM is sure to bring new life into the not so outdated RAZR.
Hope this helps and let us know what you decide and how it works out.
I just flashed the 5.2 SK, I also have on my xt910maxx LS and RR. it is a simple rom, without so many extra features. I will give it a go to see the stability and battery life. just one question: from were can I download omniswich and active display?

Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime I've crossed off LiquidSmooth and Resurrection Remix off my list. Way too many features. I'll be trying PA, CM11 M6 and Slimkat next.
EDIT: The RAZR is on SlimKat. I'm impressed. Waiting for dad's response!
i found am alternativ for activdisplay-acdisplay. Amyone has an alternativ for omnyswich? Or domething similar to accrs favorite apps from any window?

I flashed slimkat on a friend's razr, and he is very happy with kitkat!
Simple, fast and stable.
However CM is always a good choice
If you just want the Pure Stock Experience ..which has not many customizations ...i think you can go for CM11
all other ROMS have Pie Halo and other extensive customizations!!
Best Regards!

I'm far from experienced, but I have tried Slim, CM and Axxion. The Axxion is by far the most stable Rom I have used.
Thanks for the suggestions, should help me out..
Eclipse is a pretty smooth aosp 4.3

I would also recommend paranoid android rc2 as being the most streamlined solid rom as well as cyanogenmod 11 the m7 build is pretty stable though I am using the most recent nightly build which is also running well. Both are now really stable and reliable.
