May give this a go later. enjoying Cognition quite a bit right now.

And yes, it is correct - Mikey has the 10/20 non-experimental DD release before I publically posted it to my thread.
This temporal anomaly is brought to you by desperate users for the fuel_alerted fix, beer, hard cider, and my laziness.

Awesome! Looks like SGS2 is a "ROM guru" magnet
Someone should invent a way to have 3 roms on the same phone that you can switch just like changing a theme on the launcher and yet keeping all the apps (no, not nandroid. Something faster.)

Loved S7 on my Infuse. Was hoping we would see this here! Downloading now.
Thanks Mikey!

One thing I can tell you - Mikey tends to be more aggressive about carrier debloating than other ROM devs. ESPECIALLY on known/suspected battery hog apps.
For example, on the Infuse he was one of the few devs to nuke SNS. While this broke some of the social networking integration, it also led to S7 (his ROM for Captivate/Infuse) being, by far, the most battery-efficient ROM of any I used on Infuse.
Pretty much anything Mikey removes can be added back using the Market, except SNS, which sucks anyway. (I nuked it from my own personal system image... It was one of the first things I killed, and I have Mikey's example with the Infuse to thank for that.)
Haven't flashed it yet personally as I'm trying to learn the black voodoo arts of Android ROM development myself. (As in, I'm currently in a "if I haven't done it myself, it's not running on my phone" phase) - but if I weren't in that state, S7 would likely be what I flash.
To be honest, just like with the Infuse, the choices we have are quite good - right now you can't go wrong with stuff from gtg465x or Mikey (I have personal experience with this) or designgears (less personal experience myself, but he has a good rep and what I've seen of his I777 work so far has been good.)

Except Jobs wasn't much of am inventor. He was a brilliant innovater. But he took from things that were already invented, pushed others around him to take what was good from those things make them better, then what he was real good at was packaging those improved inventions into quality end user products, and it didn't hurt that he was a brilliant marketing strategist either.
Most of what was the innovation of the apple computer was built on inventions by a think tank funded by Xerox. But Xerox did not understand what they had or how it was beneficial to end users or how to market it, but Steve did.
Steve did not invent digital music players, he just brought high quality end user experience there.
he did not invent internet music stores, he just built a really good one.
He did not even invent the smart phone. He just took it to a whole new level.
Innovator, marketer, strategist, leader - he was among the best to ever live to hold these titles.
Inventer, no, he did not invent hardly anything.
That all said, I know what Mikey means, and the tech world would not be anything like what it is without Steve Jobs.

You know, I generally try every ROM out there, as a gesture of respect to the time the developers put in. I'm too lazy to make my own, so I respect how long and realize the effort that goes into creating a decent ROM. However the name alone is enough to put me off this ROM as CrippleB also stated. It's not a particularly decent name.
Now. As a developer placing his ROMs up for public consumption you are either going to have to learn to live with criticism and learn FROM criticism, or you're going to be a very angry person.
He wasn't saying, 'Jesus this ROM sucks. It's horrible! You're an idiot!'. he (as am I) was saying, 'I don't want to run a ROM with the word 'douche' in the name. Perhaps you should rethink your naming.'
YOU evidently took that as 'hating' and 'flaming'...which it wasn't. You seriously need to adjust your attitude and control your temper if you're going to put up public ROMs. Based on your attitude towards criticism alone I won't be trying your ROM. Other people may feel it's ok to be pissed on for making a tactful comment, but I don't.
Good luck with it.
That makes sense I guess. I can see how it can be offensive to the right people.
The fact is that the name refers to a slang term for well you know douchebags.
The name has nothing to do with menstrual cycles therefore it shouldn't offend anyone
I guess if you aren't familiar with the slang term it could be offensive in a way.
Either way the name Will stay the same. If it does have issues here no worries.
There are plenty of other places people can find it.

I debloated lightly. I figured this way people can just delete what they don't want rather than ask where to find it or how to get it back.
I havent actually flashed any other roms so I haven't compared the sizes
I will look into it though to see the file size differences

What do you want in an ICS rom?

Hello Vibrant Community,
I am thinking about making a ROM for ICS, but I want it to be a community effort, so here, I want everyone to reply with features they want in an ICS ROM. I will list all the features on a list, and will add to it as people give suggestions, then once I have completed the feature, I will put a beautiful check mark next to it.
Here is the list:

...wait you managed to fix the mute/unmute bug?
Maybe you should just tell neo and you could be on his team or something.
We don't need geniuses working alone.
Also i think this is a horrible question to ask a community.
Who in the right mind is going to say something that isnt already there? and even more confused, How are you just going to solve all these problems??
if your like some magical santa in disguise... I want my phone to start churning out 100 dollar bills through the audio hole.
I agree with xriderx66... Except one thing... if he's a magical Santa in disguise why 100$ bills? I'd prefer magical Santa to make my phone churn out magical Santa 1,000,000 dollar bills

I was thinking of an all white, theme. (Everything blue = White)

I'd love for a non feature-creep ROM. One where people aren't going OMG ADD VODOO*(sound/cpu/blender/coffee maker/display) CUZ ITS BETTAR or OMG ADD THIS MOD.
Just. Stock. ICS. (of course with mods necessary to make it run right.)
Oh which I uninstalled voodoo sound, and my call problems went away in Passion v7... Just the lag started to get to me to much. I'm not diggin v8, to many quirks. Hoping v9 will be better.

Why would you want TW launcher?
because i like to change things up every now and again. mind you i don't want it in lieu of a better launcher i just want it in zip form so if the urge should arrize i can pop it on and play around. lol
I know Im asking for miracles here but for me to go back to ICS it has to have a proper 911 function. I have went back to Team Whiskey 1.3.1 because of this issue. I know I'm asking for a miracle there but you asked what we wanted
I would like to have more options like in Cyanogenmode

current launcher is just fine, the only "hick ups" were Build.prop related. and I already posted a revised and fixed build.prop for the Passion users.
I also stated i wanted the ICS TW launcher in Zip form not as part of A rom itself.
Yeah, I'd very much like a perfectly working 911 call and have E911 just working. The mic will not work when calling(receiving works) 911 so we'll have to wait for them to call us back.
And that's if we are lucky enough to have our phones not freeze on us when we call 911 as that is an issue as well.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Thanks, boystuff.
I'm not speaking for myself, but I'm speaking on behalf of majority of the users that those extra works should not be there for future release.
And here are other things that should be addressed for future release:
1. Web browsing experience. It looks as if the browser is collecting all of the web contents to store or sending somewhere before reloading the page. And when zoom in, the text is blur between 5 to 30 seconds. I have a feeling that it's fetching the page content data from the storage on the device instead of just re-mapping the data on the page.
2. There are non-stoppable apps or processes in the background. Go to setting, developer options, and check the Show CPU Usage.
There are more issues, but I'm going to stop because I really wanted to put this one out now. lolz
This is not a demanding, but hoping that the developer and his team will come up with a solution.
You shouldn't get me started. lolz

[Q] ICS ROM question.

Are there any ICS CDMA ROMs or ROM/Kernel combos that aren't having the data bug? (I know about the toggling airplane mode on/off several times workaround) I was running the CM9 alpha using stock kernel and I missed a few important phone calls one evening about a month ago. I haven't really looked around since. (Functional camera is a non-issue since my camera is busted.)
Miui V4 data was working right out of the gate and I don't remember having too many issues with signal/data with that ROM.
I'm on good 'ol CM7 for now for stability and battery life.
EDIT: the stock kernel works fine, or you can use Taimat's newest one for the EVO 3D CDMA (do a quick Google search). I was running AnthraX as well at one point.
I have been using toastcfh's new CM9 build for a couple of hours now, and I haven't seen any dropouts of 3G. I would get them all the time in other builds. Of course only time will tell, but it looks good so far. I also agree with G.Newton, MIUIv4 has not had the 3G problem that I am aware of, and I ran that for a few weeks.
Thanks guys. I guess I'll check into MIUI 4. What's Toast's newest CM9 build?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I flashed MIUI v4, rebooted once and data was gone. Here's to Nandroid... I guess I'll just wait for the Nexus to launch.
Really? That's weird. But here is the link to toast's new build.

Frustrated with what?
The fact that the Sensation, despite being "less of a phone" than ours, is getting more love from HTC, HTC is being doucheboxes about releasing updates or source for the updates we already have, Chad got trolled almost completely out of existance, etc. I was developmentally spoiled because I came from the OG EVO and it just seems like HTC is taking a piss on the owners of the 3D.

Are you a dev? I think those are the only people that have the right to get frustrated. We are given all roms, mods, tools, kernels, etc for FREE. If HTC is slow to release source so what, are you going to dev on the source? Sounds like you're frustrated because a new ROM isn't put out every few days. With what we have, our devs have accomplished A LOT. If you bought the 3D (or any phone) for dev support.. HA. You should buy a phone if you like it just the way it is, and any development on it is just icing on the cake. HTC will release source/update in due time. In the meantime, patience. I'm sorry that you were spoiled but please don't complain about **** we already know.
Wow. You done? You made plenty of assumptions there without asking any questions or seeking more information and then blasted me for being frustrated at a phone while also insinuating that I am ungrateful toward developers. I don't expect anything from the developers, given they're clearly working with no support from HTC, and I know they give away their ROMs/mods/kernels/etc while asking for nothing in return. I do expect, however, to not be belittled by somebody for expressing a feeling. Thanks for your insight bro.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
People are forgetting what message boards are for. It's for voicing opinions, providing information, heck anything. Who isn't frustrated with HTC right now? That's one reason why these forums exist so we can vent our frustrations with HTC and see what we can do to put pressure on them. I get so tired of people saying "keep it to yourself" because if that was the case, this site's traffic would greatly reduce and trust me, I know xda doesn't want that. Now I do agree that complaining about devs shouldn't be done period.
Now, back to the topic at hand. I can confirm that the latest toashcfh build of CM9 with the stock kernel does not appear to have the data bug I initially asked about.

Lot of good things said about that build. Sorry man, but you said the keywords "developmentally spoiled" and proceeded with a frustrated comparison to the Evo 3G. That sounds like complaining, but no need for me to have gone there with ya brah. Yes, we, especially the devs are all frustrated.
We as the consumer want the update free and fast, while HTC needs to make money therefore they like it slow. A good business relationship is a middle ground between HTC and the end-consumer.
If data and signal cuts out ever, and toggling doesn't work, *#*#4636#*#* > Phone info > change radio and you should have signal. Then toggling brings back data.

Its funny

Its funny that when I first bought the phone alot of people on Xda were saying how slow and laggy it was and I was starting to regret my purchase but a couple of weeks later and im thinking to myself how fast my phone is. I guess what Im trying to say is if you want to buy a Note go ahead and do so and see for yourself if its laggy dont just take others words for it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA

I disagree I went from the Skyrocket and my Note was a lot slower and really laggy. I just swapped my Note for another one today and WOW this new one I got today is totally different. It is just as smooth and fast as my Skyrocket. If anybody is having performance issues you need to get it swapped out ASAP you will wish you had sooner.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
That's not really so funny.
I also came from the Skyrocket and initially thought the Note was fast. Than I came on Xda and alot of user were reporting on how slow their phones were. Than I started noticing lag every where. Now after not thinking about it for awhile I dont notice the lag anymore. So my point is that by others saying how bad it was I started seeing the same0, whether it was there or not.

I have the note, although it is the international version.
When I first got it, it had just a little lag here and there. I don't use touchwiz, I use go launcher. I've had 4 updates, now at 2.36, LB2 and this last update (got it Thursday night) made this thing smooth with ZERO lag. Even scrolling apps in the app drawer, which, would lag for maybe 1-2 flips, then smooth out, is smooth as
silk with zero lag.
I lost root some time back, so it isn't a root issue, but perhaps on the at&t version it has to do with the bloat apps that run all the time?

okay not bashing here so dont take this wrong but I'm just trying to wrap my head around this statement, so you pay $300+ for your device but dont expect stock ROM performance to be any good?...seriously? I dont understand why someone wouldn't of course, and if it did underperform (mine runs fine) as a consumer you have every right to take it back. I think alot of people lose sight of the fact that it's still a PHONE that can now do amazing things that you would not have had the luxury of just a few short years back. And granted, the awesome development we enjoy through these forums does improve quality and enjoyment value of these devices to the point of maybe spoiling us as advanced users, but remember the vast majority of consumers of these devices are typical users and to them (and me) the Note on GB/Touchwiz although not a perfect machine is still an amazing device right "out of the box".

It is an amazing device but the Carrier$ load it down with u$ele$$ and unnece$$ary $oftware to $queeze more money from you. In the process the Bloatware DOES in fact hinder the performance as they run even when you don't launch them yourself. By getting rid of the bloatware you are unleashing the true potential of this beast of a phone.
Think of it this way... If you bought say a Subaru WRX STi and when you went to go pick it up and it had a bunch of useless Car Dealer stickons and random crap that hindered the performance, you are saying you wouldn't be upset ?

Very true. I'd probably be using an iphone if it weren't for the DEVs here. Sad that we need them to unlock the full potential of our devices. We also get better support from them than the companies that make them. A great example of that is the HP Touchpad.
Support your local DEVs. I do so by adding to their beer/coffee funds. Coffee is better as it keeps them up longer to work on things

[ROM][4.1.2]Pimpdroid 1.0 quincyatt (discontinued)

Pimpdroid
Restl3ss
Fed up with the stock jellybean rom? Yeah, me too. between all the bloatware and the frankly HIDEOUS ui skin, basically you end up having something that's Slow, Stupid, and just plain ugly. That's where pimpdroid comes in. Pimpdroid is, plain and simple, a totally PIMPED OUT version of that bowser samsung calls touchwiz. Pimpdroid has a re-themed "deuglied" and ghettoized system ui, several speed and network optimizations, has been made much more user friendly, and best of all, it's DEBLOATED. this rom comes with a guarantee of at least one "awww yeea son" per flash. full feature list and download links below. Pimp suit and diamond cane not included.
Features;
-Android 4.1.2
-Phase kernel
-Debloated
-Deodexed
-Zipaligned
-Re-themed system UI
-APEX launcher
- Support overclock to 1836
-Rooted with SuperSU
-Busybox pre-installed
-Flash player installed
-Pimpmyrom installed for further tweaking
-Network optimizations
-wifi speed optimizations
Bugs;
None that I know of. Tell me?

That's not a bad idea actually haha, don't know why I didn't think to take some when I was testing, will do
Awwwwwwwwwww yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Mr. KoolAid :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer: flashing tomorrow

what about toggles or extended power menu?
What Inspired said. I think it's obvious from his last try I'm a rather large skeptic of this dev, but he was taking shots at Samsung -- not ptmr and big. Hopefully this ROM can start adding more stability to JB 4.1.2. As, despite our best devs best efforts, even debloated stocks have more mixed reviews than even the most unstable ICS builds of past.
Would be nice if someone can make this rom flashable for us lonely and desperate tmobile users who are stuck with random reboots and no new roms...I like avatar n liquidsmooth but this would be nice to try out on tmobile note 1

is a JB from Telus i personally make my own taste of this base you know some prop tweaks plus phase kernel (tha damn ROM is fast as hell) but i not have much time to read and learn but if someone with more knowledge and maybe more time can take this base to the next level :good:

maybe this time you don't get shut down ehh?
maybe your ROM here has some stylings that others don't, but is it really necessary to bad mouth somebody elses ROM ?
I mean, you didn't mention any names but really, there are only 2 others out there. those are some pretty big shoes to fill.
those other 2 ROMS may be on the more basic side or have little to no theming to them, BUT, they are ROCK solid. you are not showing a whole lot of respect here. I crave some more theming, but the proof is in the pudding here my friend.
good luck and lets see some screenies. will be waiting for a bit of feedback from some experienced folk before I test drive.

Love that your backing your devs, but I don't think he's coming at the other two bro beans. I think his intro was just to attract some attention, or maybe even be referring to actual stock jellybean from the carriers. It's allll love baby. Awwwww yeahhhhh. :good: But I do agree with what Cap stated above R3stless. Don't get shutdown this time man, I want to atleast have the opportunity to try & support your work. Get those sources up mane !!!

you guys are right.
my apologies to RESTLESS. I re-read every thing and took it out of context.
I do however hope RESTLESS does go about things the right way this time. I AM always interested in new development.
ill give it a flash when my hos get my money right!

***edit*** I see others said the same after my refresh but I'll still add my 2cents
Hey, I don't think he was talking about the other dev roms. He clearly mentioned stock Jb and while some of his points could be interpreted as you did, I don't see that as his intent. OP maybe explicitly state in the first post that your not talking about dev roms or something like that.
I'm one of those that's running just stock rooted Jb and not one of the 2 dev modified roms. That may be why my perspective is different. If anything he's dissing Samsung haha

what you did was add you 2 cents and gave me the 4 cents that had already been given. it takes some guts for someone to com right out and admit his mistake and you are just going to come in and pour salt on the wound ?
I thank you LOGIC or again pointing my mistake. I should be shunned forever. may I live in shame the rest of my life.

I apologize if you took my post as piling on. That was not my intention at all. I agree it takes a big person to apologize. I posted that before refreshing and didn't see the previous posts. In any event let's move on and keep this back on topic. You're welcome to come out of shame at any time you see fit

Judging by the screen shots, this is your first foray into theming. If you would like some pointers, like how to properly edit some of the indexed images...feel free to hit me up via pm. I am no expert at theming, but I think I might be able to help add a little polish.
Nice to see new blood...even if you use the word "pimp".

Yeah I think I'll hold off on this. No offense but the "theme" is a little to much.
