QUOTE(erymanthus @ Mar 14 2012, 03:07 PM) For those who are keen to try ICS Custom Rom (before jumping to XXLPQ), do consider Resurrection Remix ICS Rom...I have been using it for a few days already. No problems so far. I can restore my contacts, swipe away notification is smooth, got fancy rotation effect, call recording!!!, 12/15 toggles notification, battery sensivity is 1% etc... I have tried AndyX ICS, Criskelo Servan ICS, Thebyani ICS 3.1 and 3.3 Rom, Batista Foxhound 0.3 and finnally settled at Resurrection Remix... Just sharing  Upgraded to 9.7? I'm still at 9.6, waiting to jump to Westcrip's LPQ directly.

QUOTE(SilverCrimz @ Mar 14 2012, 03:43 PM) any extra features if im getting the paid nova launcher? i have read what it has but was actually wondering is it worth the price. I've used both Apex and Nova for awhile and in the end I settled for Apex. Apex allows you to resize the widget but Nova can't. Both also have the swiping gestures which I use extensively. Main factor is, Apex is free and it comes with all the full features.

QUOTE(Shizuru @ Mar 14 2012, 05:05 PM) Lol.. that's a known lph bug right? It's still exist on lpq?
I'm on LPH with the resurrection remix rom. Don't seem to be having this bug, works ok for me. AndyX just released his 7.0 Official XXLPQ ROM. Waiting for the download link now.

QUOTE(antt00 @ Mar 14 2012, 09:18 PM) Wanamlite comes with so many launchers to test. I find that Nova is the smoothest. Smoother than apex. But it cost USD4 and apex is free. Now doing nandroid and will test out thunderbolt. Later will try siyah alpha. For me, the latest Apex v1.0.2 is as smooth as Nova. Well, guess it's a matter of individual opinion. You're using the Wanamlite ICS themed or the stock themed ROM? Seems like the themed one is quite buggy as according to the responses in his thread. I'm downloading the Stock one now, was unable to do so since this afternoon as the google docs link were overloaded

QUOTE(antt00 @ Mar 14 2012, 09:33 PM) ICS theme one. The only bug i found so far is the contact fc when delete contact. Apex got very slight jitter compare to nova which is smoother for me. Maybe depends also on the widgets and stuff we put on the homescreen. Kool. If westcrip doesn't release his latest LPQ tonight, I'll try Wanamlite tomorrow.

QUOTE(TheLaptopDudeGuy @ Mar 15 2012, 10:22 AM) I dont really surf xda that often, plus i dont have an cc there. Is uploaded.to that bad? Is it illegal or sumting? Bit of a drama there. Andy will only upload his files to uploaded.to. Seems that site is not accessible in some countries so the users created their own mirrors and post them in Andy's thread. When Andy found out, he warns them not to do it again. For whatever reason only known to him, he insists to share his file in that particular sharing site only. Some speculates that he'll make $ out of it by pushing the users to sign up for the uploaded account to conveniently download the files (faster, no waiting etc.) He was warned by the XDA mods but our friend just ignores it so in the end, he got banned and his thread closed.

QUOTE(antt00 @ Mar 15 2012, 03:41 PM) AndyX ICS 7 is so stable compared to wanam. Too bad the icons are not ics, but seriously not a single FC or hang so far. Impressive. Just flashed mine and testing it now as we speak. The keyboard is qwertz? WTF. Yeah, don't like the icons, not stock ICS. The messaging apps are in black, even though i change the background to white, nothing happens. I still prefer the messaging app in resurrection. For the contacts, can't scroll between tabs (again.. not like resurrection) Will probably revert back to my trusty old rom in another hour This post has been edited by jesseblue: Mar 15 2012, 03:46 PM

Hi,
Initially I was on ICS Resurrection Remix 9.6(based on XXLPH).
I flashed to Miui V4 yesterday (baseband XXLPQ, kernel XXLPH) but found that it's still kinda buggy (Gallery FC and my favorite ES file explorer is not working, among others) so I reverted back to my Remix backup.
Thing is, when I check my baseband it is at still at XXLPQ. I would have thought it should be at XXLPH which is from my Remix backup.
Not that this is an issue or anything, just curious.

QUOTE(erymanthus @ Mar 18 2012, 02:27 PM) Wah, now got so many Roms to flash.... I don't know where to start? Foxhound, Turkbey, Criskelo, Thebyani, Wanam? Hey fellow Remix-ian, I flashed to Thebyani this mornin. Having zero problem so far The only drawback is the missing 15 toggles. There's a link in the Thebyani thread which points to the 15 toggles add-on but unfortunately, the download is not available at the moment. Might worth to try it out while waiting for Westcrip's to come back from his vacation.
