Hi chaps, I'm kind of new here, I've just rooted my first phone and installed slimrom slimkat 4.4.3, almost all is well lol, one thing that's weird is the little icon that shows my mobile signal strength, it's dark all the time despite being able to make calls, send texts even get high speed Internet but it never shows signal strength??? Weird eh.

as you might know Slim 4.4.3 is a beta, hence you have to live with bugs. Just to make sure, did you do all wipes and formats as instructed when installing the rom?

Arrrrr right yer ok, it's not a biggy and yes I did all the wipes n factory reset too, the wi - fi one works ok, I need to do 10 posts before I can report this bug in the devs thread.

Arrrrr right yer ok it runs ok but I do have a couple of other questions, can I install the aroma on top of the rom or is this rom the wrong type and is there a way to add the option to move apps to the SD card?

It's currently on ver. 4.2 and runs pretty smooth, battery life really depends on what you do with the phone, standby time is great but if you like to fiddle n play games as I do then expect to charge at least once a day, plus I have 3 e-mail accounts that sync + facebook + tapatalk + ebay etc.

Best Jelly Bean ROM

Hello alls!
I am currently running the Stock w/Goodies 1.78 and it is just smooth as smooth can be. I'm really anxious to try the cm10 or the AOSP/AOKP but am hesitant because I use this phone for work and I don't have a ton of downtime where I can play with the roms like I can on my personal TBolt. Which current JB leaked ROM has been the best in your experience, and is it worth the switch (in terms of smoothness and things actually working)? I appreciate your time!

i am using cm 10. i use my phone m-f as a gps device in a windshield holder 8hrs plus a day. cm has been real smooth for me.
I've been using cm10 for 3 weeks. Its great.
If you are using your phone for business,I might hold off and give it more time depending on how important the device is to your business.
Could always nandroid and try it out.
Have u noticed any stupid FC's or things not working?

Most "normal" things are working fine. Phone will FC on boot until it finds a signal
Gotta say CM10 really is a great, even with the few problems I had on the first nightlies. I flashed the most recent today and for the first time since I bought my LTE it is cool to the touch and the phantom battery drain that carried over for a few nightlies is gone. The only gripe I've had is the gps and this is really just knit-picking but on stock sense I had a lock with in 3 meters nearly every time and on cm10 its 8 but like I said, nit-picking. Dead Trigger runs reasonably well with modified xml to enable the so called Tegra 3 exclusives. Theres a pretty anoying graphical glitch that is persistent in the game but if you go to developer options and turn off hardware overlay it goes away at the slight expense of performance but its negligible lag, all in all my favorite rom so far
Sounds pretty convincing. No words from the AOSP/AOKP usrs?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
I think most are using Cm
AOKP/PA are based on CM, so the same stuff will be working/nonworking
Deck's CM10 is awesome and very smooth. For me it was a daily driver for a week up to 8/29 build with ZERO crashes, but I had problems with data connection switching between wi-fi, 3g and 4g, voice always worked. It took up to 30 minutes or a reboot to get the data connection back again with voice always working. I can't wait to flash the 9/4 release and see if that problem has been fixed as I was getting 17+ hours with 4-5 hours of screen on and lots of calls.

I get good battery life because I'm always connected to Wi-Fi on campus. Wi-Fi uses a lot less power than 3G or LTE do.
I was able to pull a little over a full day with 3 hours of screen on time, which included an hour of 720p video streaming, and I still had 25-30% left.
I've been using CM10 since I got the phone on Saturday. Have to say it is great. CM10 has only had official nightlies for about a week now, but I have yet to find something that doesn't work as expected. Definitely a daily driver. Deck and toastcfh have really outdone themselves this time
It also helps battery life when you have good signal strength for 3g/LTE use. Or using Airplane mode instead.
I have little to no signal almost everywhere I go in Iowa, so my battery lasts maybe a day with no usage; a lot less if I decide to call people or surf the net.
Been using CM10 nightlies for a few days now; I use my phone both for personal and my firm exchange account. Default CM10 email.apk fixes the annoying text-size issue from stock. No unusual FCs. Smooth performance, good battery life. Google now is interesting, but still "learning" me.
Minor issues I have experienced, but not everyone else has:
-Auto-brightness doesn't work
-Phone calls seem to use more battery than stock, although that's just a hunch
-No LTE for me (even after clean flashing the most recent nightly)
-Phone pin-locks itself every time i hit the power button, even though i unchecked the "power button immediately locks" option.
I installed it and set it up over the course of about 2 hours one night. Had to re-install all the apps because I couldn't use Titanium pre-rooting. I think it's worthwhile.
+1 on CM 10, It has been fantastic! I seem to be getting better battery life than stock. definitely less charging.
So what's the difference between Paranoid Android and CM10? Isn't it just CM10 with tweaks?
I have also tried CM10 and I LOVED it. Super smooth, Jelly Bean is awesome to use. But for some reason my GPS would not work, nor would the video recording, and I had issues with using the speakerphone during calls. Those issues were enough to force me to go back to Sense. I hadn't heard of people having GPS issues, which I thought was odd, since it worked on other ROMs.
After I get my phone fixed, or get a new one, I'm guna have to try it again. Jelly Bean is really awesome.

[ROM] Unofficial RandomROM Falcon v 1.1

If you want to try another flavor of ROM based off of ICS 4.04, AOKP MIlestone 6, try this:
RandomKing's RandomROM Falcon v 1.3
I like it and would not have known about it except that it showed up as a compatible ROM in GooManager.
NOTE!: I AM NOT THE DEVELOPER, NOR CAN I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. I'M JUST INFORMING THE COMMUNITY IT EXISTS.
I found it the same way and have been using it myself for about a week now . no problems the only thing i changed were the e-mail and contacts back to standard rather than inverted black and white . plus i like the ability to have sound with my boot animation an option that is not available with the regular Nightly or the AOKP&CM9Remix by SGA .
How does it compare to the other roms in term of smoothness and performance?
Just flashed this rom and I'm liking it.
Trebuchet should be taken out though if Nova launcher is included.
Ran AnTuTu OCd @ 1.78ghz and got a score of 7317 and the highest FPS on the men in armour was 57fps
After having the various CM9 nightlies I am trying out the 1.1 version of this ROM. So far so good... seems pretty snappy. I haven't found anything that doesn't work so far. I chose Nova as the default launcher (seemed to have come with Nova pre-installed?).
Question... how do you change the default email color scheme. Its hard to read. Thanks!

Give this ZIP a try in TWRP/CWM:
http://db.tt/Dp221gce
It's a universal inverted Gapps that I use in most of the ROMs I install on the TP. If need be, you could always extract the gmail APK from the ZIP and push it to /system (after changing permissions, of course).
Let me know if this helps you out - I'm curious about this build - and I would like to give it a go, too.

Thanks! The universal inverted GAPPs works great and solved the problem. Many thanks.
Btw, so far I have been able to run all apps I would before using the CM nightlies including youtube , Netflix. No lag at all between screens and everything things to work as fast as before. I believe the dev focuses on battery length but so far it seems to last about the same as my experience with most of the more recent nightlies. Unfortunately wifi is also about what I experienced under CM9 (and weaker than webOS).
I will stay with this a while and see if it continues to be problem free and if any apps have a prob under the new ROM.
Again, thanks for your help, and let me know if I can answer any more questions.

Goo is a decent website, and you can go to my space to download. Goo Manager can tell you when a new version is released, which I find pretty useful. 1.1 is currently the newest version, and I've finally updated the website to reflect the proper link. I agree, Goo Manager itself is a little slow and its easier to download straight from the site. I will not provide support outside of my page for this particular rom, but seeing more than 250 downloads on the latest version, I will continue to improve the rom whenever I can.

I gave this try and found out compared to cm9 9/30th it does have a higher battery drain while asleep.. ~-800 vs -45 avg
Both roms connect to my WiFi 5ghz
Other than that the rom seems decent to use if you don't mine the heavy battery drain.
Understand that I clear everything after I made my backup to try the rom, so to say it was on a nearly clean install.

Interesting. I just checked mine and while asleep mine ranged from a low of -43 mA to to an outlier high of -74 mA, and most of the between -46mA and -48mA. Once I wake it up it varies greatly... -122mA to -820mA, but I am guessing that is dependent on what I am doing (I was watching a lot of Clapton and Knopfler YouTubes) . Are these numbers more in line with what you were thinking RandomKing? Any other battery stat I can provide that might help?

How are you guys measuring this loss? And what is the rate? My tablet averages a little less than 1 percent battery loss an hour while asleep.

Using Battery Monitor app. When I switch to %/hr state it appears to fluctuate between 0% to under 2% loss/hr. I'd guess it would average to around 1% per hour.
Btw I am pretty happy with battery on this ROM, not as good as webOS and definitely less than iOS but pretty good for Android and I think better than CM9. Now, if I could somehow I improve my wifi I'd be golden...

One thing to check, under wifi > advanced > wifi on all the time only when plugged in. Another easy and cheap fix is downloading RootDim from Play Store, which allows you to lower screen brightness way lower than stock. The TP has a very bright display so lowering it down to below 25% is still plenty bright. There are lots of other battery tweeks I am sure including apps that automate the process but the two I suggested are easy. Hope this helps!

Best ROM for battery life (esp. for gamers or watching videos)?

I have tried SpeedROM 8.0 and been on it for more than 2 weeks, but the battery life sucks. I heard Google Now was the culprit, but I don't know how to remove it. I still suspect after removing it, the battery would still suck. No offense Eclipze, I love the ROM, but battery life is bad on it. I don't know how you get so long.
I have tried Nightmare Sense 4 and battery life was awesome, but the camera was buggy and no quick settings. I tried AOSP Nightmare by brolic and it also had awesome battery life, but camera was unfocused and not working (in a different way than sense 4). Bluetooth did not work for both of them which sucked and I tried flashing the AOSP settings, but still no hope.
I am currently on Android Revolution HD (latest version as of now). The battery life is amazing on it, but I think Nightmare Sense 4 has better battery life, but I don't know. If anyone knows please comment about which one has better battery life.
My top 3 choices as of now:
Nightmare Sense 4
AOSP Nightmare Sense 4
Android Revolution HD
What ROM do you recommend with best battery for a gamer or a person that watches videos alot?
- Energy ROM (I didn't try it yet)
- SpeedROM 9.0 Beta (I didn't try it yet)
- FourthBar
- Android Revolution HD
- Nightmare Sense 4
- AOSP Nightmare
- Other ROM you recommend?
I need data and GPS working so no CM for me
Please make sure the ROM doesn't have any multi-touch issues.
I get very good battery life on NRG ROM, about 16 to 18 hrs with 3-4 hrs of use. I keep all GPS and Google location off if I'm not actively using it, since that kills standby battery life with very frequent Google maps wakelocks.
I like Nrg better than arhd because it has the extended quick settings and nrg tweaks.
I used speedROM faithfully with great success and satisfaction until the latest releases which I found a little buggy--unfun # of random reboots.
NRG has been very stable with faux 23b6, and it runs apex launcher like butter. Of course, your mileage may very. This is just my experience. I'm right there with you on needing all the phone's features. I would LOVE to see a sense 4 ROM with a working camera. That's a deal breaker especially on a phone like this where the camera is so awesome.

Eclipze, its semi-working for me. Sometimes it randomly crashes, other times the interface is glitchy.
I haven't stayed on a ROM, because there is one bug or behavior that drives you insane. I need a stable one to be able to play TDKR which I haven't been able to do cuz I keep switching ROMs back and forth.
One thing awesome is that this guy discovered why data doesn't work in CM9/CM10. Can't wait till its fixed, but one thing I gotta ask is what exactly is the "multi-touch issue".

Every time I try to use panorama mode on any sense 4 ROM, I get a force close. I've also found the auto focus to be a little sketchy. I love panorama mode, so until it works reliably, I'm stuck with sense 3.6.

to disable google now go open it go into settings and you should be able to turn it off, to just use the normal google search.. or just freeze or uninstall google search if thats your issue... as for improving battery life try speed rom or fourth-bar maybe even energy rom with the faux kernel
I generally don't game, but I'm a fairly heavy user - multiple GMail accounts syncing, Google Now, location services on, live wallpaper - and I get pretty darn good battery life out of NRG ROM. I would use the Sense 4 ROM because it's beautiful and has great battery life, but it doesn't have NFC and sometimes the camera died. (Although, apparently not for everyone. Odd....) I just keep a charger in my car, and use WiFi when I can.
As of right now, until either NFC is enabled on Sense 4, or CM10 is out of its experimental-type phase, I'd go with NRG or SpeedROM (with Google Now and location services shut off) Just my $0.02, though.

Well, apparently it hasn't been implemented on the Sense 4 ROM for the Amaze. At least, as of a few weeks ago. I didn't even have the option in the settings to turn it on, and it didn't respond to a tag that I have.
I use sense 4 by Team Nightmare.. after 2 hours use.. I'm active social website user.. I check instagram and facebook, every second of the day.. I also do a lot of texting almost 10k a month, I have over 2k songs on my SD card, and also use my beats headphone with is support by this Rom.. this is the best Rom for me..

I'm happy with Fourth Bar: Infusion. I'm a fairly heavy user. Could go through two charges/day with the stock ROM. Fourth Bar gets me through the work day now.
SpeedRom 8 has been treating me well after reflashing the ICS RUU and it (got a bad flash the first time arround). So far battery life is about where BulletProof was for me on the GB OS. Streaming music on wi-fi for a good 6+ hrs a day and have about 30% battery left afterword.

Missing 4.2.2 but I had some questions about it please help me.

Hello I've been running TW roms on my Note 2 for a long time now, and I love them but I came from the Galaxy Nexus and I am missing 4.2.2 and the whole AOSP feel. Things that I had a question on are:
1. When I flash a 4.2.2 rom will I be able to flash back to a 4.1.2 TW rom? or are there things that I should do to avoid any issues?
2. What kind of battery life can I expect? I know that no one can say for sure but just wondering a roundabout estimate. On TW I can get a good 24hours of battery life and around 3 hours of screen time, is it anywhere close to this?
3. Is there anything I can do to get SPen to work? I don't use it alot but I would like to use it still if possible.
That is all I think, thank you for your help in advance.

1. You can flash between AOSP and TW ROMs no problem, you just need to wipe data each time. You can also just make a nandroid of your current stock TW ROM and simply restore that if you want to go back.
2. I havent had my Note 2 very long, but I immediately put AOSP on it and based on my weeklong experience you will have no problem whatsoever getting the same usages out of the battery on AOSP, it might even end up beating that.
3. IDK about using the S-pen. I dont use it myself so I never bothered looking into it.
Hope this helps.

I was in the same boat as you. Ive flashed almost every AOSP rom here and I have never had one for over 24 hours. They all just dont have the "umph" where the TW roms all are chock full loaded of nice features that I thought I may never use. Ive always gone back to tw.
If you want, try Tweaked rom with the AOSP theme, VERY close to AOSP looks but woth a lot of TW functionality and customizations

I'm probably over-stepping my boundaries as an AOKP member...
But hey, I'll vouch for us :silly:.
Battery life exceeds your current use-case in my experience.
Yes, you can easily flash back to touchwiz.
We support SPen. You can even assign left/right/up/down swipe gestures and long-press, and double-click actions to custom actions.
I.E. Left-swipe (while holding the button) can open an app, simulate a home/back/recents press...etc.
Thank you all for your input! I decided to try it out for myself and I flashed Illusion ROM and the boast 2 days have been awesome with it nice and smooth and battery life seems about the same as it was with TW. I got almost 19 hours of battery life and 5 hours of screen time.
My only gripes about AOSP is that the volume is very low and I can barely hear people when calling them but hopefully I can find a mod or something to fix that. My signal seems to be worse too which is weird since it seems to be the same radios as the TW ROMs..well as far as I can tell.
Thanks again!

There are free apps to fix sound for now
And the signal bars are just tricking you into thinning you get more service on TW check the dBm under about phone- status
I'd call good service anything less the 100

Oh I wasn't aware of that, it just seemed lower becase my signal will drop all the way to 1X sometimes and I never noticed it with TW but maybe what you are saying is right and the signal bars weren't showing whats really going on. Do you know any of the apps to fix sound off hand? I've looked at a few but the ones I've found says that they don't work on 4.2.2 just 4.1.x. Thank you!

To fix the sound the easiest thing is to flash Plasma kernel and install Stweaks.
As for the service issues there may be some depending on your ROM and what is being done with the RIL on CM. Ultimately it isn't much to worry about unless you're missing calls and texts.

I might try plasma and see how that is..hopefully battery life is still good with it. The service is starting to bother me just because in stream a lot of music from Google Music and songs have been cutting out on me lately which never happened to me on a TW ROM...my phone has been getting really hot too..

There's also a STweaks guide in the forums here that can help you adjust voltages, etc...

Sound is good, On my phone everything work very well. Battery life time is excellent. This is one good rom. I'm using this rom almost 3 days and didnt find any bug. Even Facebook and Instagram works good.

Great! I'll try it right now. I was on MIUI 8 for a week, and experienced turned off phone (no alarm) in the morning. It had 30% left when I went to sleep -.-
Also, notifications lag on MIUI.
