I just noticed this a few days ago, and it's not a huge deal but I figured I'd ask anyway. I'm currently on The Base 0.7.3, and recently I don't get the stock "iris closing" screen off animation anymore. The screen just blanks out when I turn it off.
I noticed this after I flashed the different 4.2.2 ROMs in the original dev section. After flashing those I restored a backup, which is what I'm using now. After finding the loss of the screen off animation, I've since re-restored the backup, doing a factory reset, wiping cache and dalvik, but nothing works. I guess something must have messed up with my backup, although everything else is perfectly fine. I suppose I could do a clean install of The Base, but I first wanted to find out if anyone else knew what might cause this, or if I could just flash or load some stock file to get it working again. Thanks.

its an animation file in the media folder insiide systems though i am not sure which one
one is like the bootanimation file and theres another one....maybe that is your answer
but still i m not 100% sure about it
placing that file in a rom can help
Also check to make sure window animation in developer options is set to 1. I think any other option stops the screen off animation.

You can look for it in system/media as suggested above but not likely.
Typically it is the framework.res.apk - you would have to decompile, edit, and recompile the apk.
Here is a how-to (have not tried this) YMMV
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/379-how-to-enable-crt-animation-on-any-23-device/

I think many of us would be very grateful if someone made that animation available as a zip that could be used with any ROM. I know I'd be willing to buy a beer for someone who does.

I edited the Evolution_Font install zip so that it doesn't remove the odex files. I just installed this using Clockwork and it's working fine for me. I recommend making a nandroid before doing this though just in case and as always if you brick your phone don't blame me.
The original font pack came from the Evolution theme, I don't take any credit for this and if whoever did create it wants it taken down I have no problem doing so.

edit: Added the Default font if you want to switch back.
I flashed it but now for some reason I cant load my downloads in the market, prob unrelated but other than that fonts work just fine.
Ok after a reboot it works just fine now, wonder what that was?
The font is a lot smaller than the stock, but I like it. Like it gives it a cleaner look or something.
after running quadrant with that loaded, I am convinced it did something else, the screen just looks more crisp.

not completely related, but i figured since the OP knows of the themes the fonts originate from, would i be able to just install the Launcher pro that is themes in the bugless evolution rom? i basically want the widgets...
edit: so i decided to just make a nandroid and then see what happens.
worked just fine! the widgets and the font go nicely together!
Thanks now if we could get a flipfont apk port that would be great.
Love the font, but I too am getting a market error. Trying to install other apps and it FC's and then the apps are stuck "installing" can't cancel them out.
Flipped to wifi, same issue. Gonna shut it down, pop the battery and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: Yup, market still continues to crash even after a couple reboots and a battery pull. Why would this cause the install/market to crash?
which market apk are you using? the original one or the 2.2 version?
mine is working fine (i use the 2.2 market)
Using the updated version. As far as I recall.

You did flash it through CWM correct?
I uninstalled the market update, went back in and downloaded the apps that were hung on install (as they were still showing "installing..." on the market page, even after a CWM restore) and it worked.
I can live without the new market until 2.2

Easy-to-follow steps here...
As for concerns about having a Nandroid backup, I can't fault anyone for that... these are modifications to some baseline system settings. However, the changes are reverted on every reboot... so just stop launching the boot script and it goes away. If you're still not completely satisfied with that, the script does contain a clean-up routine that will force the settings back to default.

I've seen something similar to this. Which browser was the download on? Get to downloads (in the stock GB browser, it's menu > more > downloads; maybe it's similar for ICS) and delete it from the list. Or, clear data of the offending browser.
I dont see the rom anywhere on internal or external (now that I deleted it again) I did have Rom Manager at one point. I didnt use it at all for Rom installing, only to occassionally use it to boot into CWM because the current rom I had did not have the extended power menus, like Recovery.
The other weird thing is an app called Rom Factory that seems to come from nowhere too, installed on my phone. I know for a fact I have never downloaded that app.
ROM Factory used to be called something else...can't remember right now...

I've had this problem of downloads restarting and it was definitely the browser. I think the browser started the downloads on separate tabs and I never closed those tabs, so every time the browser opened, the downloads restarted.
Hmm, thanks for the info. However I always use Dolphin HD. I have used several different Launchers, not sure that would make a difference?

My problem is that after 9 times I've finally given up, I've tried every permutation I can think of, in cwm wipe data/factory reset 1-3 times, wipe cache partition and wiping dalvik cache, inside aroma I've tried both options of wiping first and not wiping.

From what I remember there where 2 times that I was asked one was on a screen with 3 options, with last option being something like "replace camera with JB option" or something like that and then the other was in the "big" list of things to remove. I'm pretty sure in my multiple times that I've left the "3rd option" for replacing the camera unchecked and in the list of things to remove I did un-check anything that smelled of htc sense. I will try again though and report back. If there's something else I'm missing let me know, thanks!
I just saw that viperdna 1.2 is due out in 2 days, I think I'm going to wait for that release first assuming it's a full release and not just an incremental.

Use FasterGPS to change the gps.conf back to the US. It is fairly straightforward to use, just give it root privileges then:
1. Under continent select North America
2. Once you select continent the Region box will become selectable, you need to choose United States.
It will show a toast message that says the GPS.conf was written successfully, then you just need to load Maps up and it should lock on quickly without losing the signal.
If that doesn't work just post back and I will give you something else to try because AFAIK the Super, Mega, and whatever the hell wipes aren't recommended for this phone and if I am remembering correctly they caused soft bricking on our phones that was a ***** to fix. While this wipes have most likely been fixed I wouldn't bother with them, if you want to do a wipe because what I told you to do doesn't work then you just need to boot into TWRP, click wipe, click the box on the right side (I think its format data or something but I can't remember off the top of my head), type yes, click go and then reflash whatever you want. At least try FasterGPS first, that works most of the time on International Roms.

With this fix you don't have to push anything at all, just boot into recovery and flash it like you would a ROM. Don't bother wiping anything with this fix, just flash it.
http://db.tt/9E3aMJxS
Also pushing files isn't that bad when you use something like Root Explorer, all you have to do is copy and paste it to wherever it needs to be. If you have to fix the permissions after pushing it you just have to long press and change them, it will load a little box with all the permissions and all you have to do is check the ones needed.

What the hell? There was a report of that in the thread in General but I figured it was bogus because the person would never ever reply and every single ROM I have tried it on, TW included, it either fixed or did nothing.
When you restore your nandroid does your GPS go back to the normal non working state?
Something else you could try, that i just thought of when replying to someone in the VRB thread, is making a nandroid of a TW ROM, that you got a strong GPS lock for at least 5 minutes, on your internal SD and then try either reflashing Moon or restoring a nandroid of it. I would probably just reflash it to have a clean slate but I would also understand if you didn't want to have to go through setting it up again.
That probably won't work but I know on my S3 I had to have a working backup on my internal or else GPS refused to work at all, on my Note 2 I have to reflash the fix I linked above if I forget and wipe my nandroid before establishing a lock.
Also are you trying to get a GPS lock with or without the Wireless network setting on? I know on AOSP having the WiFi and Mobile network location setting checked in addition to the regular GPS location it would refuse to even turn the GPS on. You had to have the wireless location setting off before you could get your GPS to work, while this isn't AOSP it could be a shared bug and is worth testing out.

For my Thunderbolt there was a file called "SuperWipe" that was essentially a blank file system that you could flash to your phone to quickly clear EVERYTHING.

It was released right after the phone came out. I want to say it was released in the N7105 forums, it could have been AT&T though, and there were some serious issues it was causing in all the Note 2's. It was supposed to have been worked on but I haven't heard anything since then and honestly wouldn't use it after all the corruption issues that arose from it.

That is the way i have always done it, on CleanROM ACE 4.9, Vanilla Rootbox, and all the other miscellaneous TW and AOSP ROMs I've used it on. It is made for AOSP but didn't hurt any of the TW ROMs I've rested it on.
If it completely got rid of your GPS when you tested it before though it may just not be a good idea to use it on Moon.
When you're testing GPS do you always have the WiFi and Mobile Network Location seeing under Location Settings checked? I know on AOSP for a while you couldn't use that setting at all and then on some TW ROMs you had to use it to get your first lock and after that you could get away with not having it enabled.
I would just flash Moon ROM and see if you can get a lock. Try it after creating a nandroid of a TW ROM that has working GPS on your internal storage, on my S3 the only way I could get a lock on any ROM was to keep a nandroid with working GPS on my internal SD card.
