Need ROM with at least these features... - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently with Bugless Beast, I like it a lot but it's missing some useful features...
I would like another ROM that would at least have status bar toggles, and working Facebook sync.
Also would be important for it to be stable, fast and have good battery life.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
This seems to have FB sync that works. I would double check the thread though to see if there are any current issues just to be sure.

Try Oodie's MIUI ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470829
MIUI is awesome ROM and Oodie made it even better. It has FB sync of course and you can customize status bar toggles however you want. It's still in development so i can't tell it would be 100% stable for you, but i haven't any problems with stability. It's fast enough and battery life is also good.

I use this ROM, it's a mixture of AOKP and CM9. Really fast especially when coupled with the latest Air Kernel 4.3 with Linux kernel asynchronous I/O (AIO). It's faster than anything I've used out there. It's also properly signed so that apps and Google Play would treat the ROM as if it's an official Android build than a custom ROM. Whatsapp usually would warn that you're running a mod if it detects debug keys like in CM9 or AOKP builds.

try CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ver. 14 Hybrid Mix ICS
best ROM around

Like MIUIXT's Speed but hate the UI, what to do??

as title suggested, I have been enjoying the MIUIXT, it is the most reponsive n stable rom out of all other I have used, including, Dexter 1.3 + bugfix v3, CBW 2.2, wanhu, 2.1 Strikes back
the problem is I hate the Setting Menu, Option Menu, Lock Screen so much, does anyone how have them back to Stock Android ?
or is there other rom has the same Stability and Speed ??
After a lot of testing the only one that has the same speed (if not faster) is eclair strikes back imo. Unfortunately it has stability issues sometimes (freezes fairly often). I'm on it right now.
I've used every ROM including WanHu and Khal WanHu.
v4
you can try khals v4 rom. its good with a little overclocking and also has a LOT of free ram. didnt bother using swap. very responsive for me and very few FCs too. the most stable rom. its as good as, if not better than miui on my phone.
WanHu is just as speedy

I'd agree with that. I find Wanhu's to be very responsive + the FM Radio volume works, the Media key works & magnification during cursor positioning works. Personally the MIUI Lock screen & responsiveness are the only things I really liked about MIUI.
You can change menu in setting to get the android style, use other launcher and custom your lock screen. It will be fine.
But i think you should try Wanhu.
lol, guess I need to move back to froyo: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html
You know what I find it hilarious? People talk about fragmentation in android a lot, but the only apps/things that are froyo+ exclusive that I want are google ones (new market, music, youtube, gmail). Google is the one who is making everything fragmented for me lol.

Bingo. I couldn't care less about flash. I found the lack of animated .gif more annoying than lack of flash.
Yeah, right after I first installed 2.2 I immediately installed flash because that's what everyone talks about for 2.2. I uninstalled it a few minutes later, wondering what use I have for it on my phone (only slows things down).
Anyways I guess I'm gonna put MIUI on again. WanHu and Khal's ROM are good, but for some reason don't play nice with my fav app SPB shell 3D and MIUI seems a bit faster I think. Just don't like all the IOSy stuff, but what can you do... Bah, I wish someone would get some progress with CM7 already. Wish there was a way to get a bunch of experienced devs to just port it easily lol.
i'm back to MIUI from WanHu, MIUI runs more smooth and faster. My apps run all fine on MIUI.

[Q] Reasons to use ICS or JB instead of GB in my i9003?

Hi,
I wanted to know if there are reasons of why we should try IceCreamSandwich or JellyBean roms for daily usage that still have bugs, other than keep with Gingerbread, and in my case, Frankenstein´s rom.
What I really want to know are if ICS and JB have some benefits, or we just want to use them because they are new.
I only have my SL phone, and that´s the reason I don´t want to start flashing lots of roms again... just want one that works well and in which battery lasts reasonable time.
My normal daily use is:
· 1 hour speak
· mostly 2g or wifi connection. Almost no navigation.
· lot of whatsapp
· 30 min average of bluetooth
· sometimes some gps
With this use, my battery lasts aproximately 2 days.
I don´t play games, I don´t watch movies... I just use it as a regular mobile + whatsapp, gps, adidas micoach, jefit, and small apps.
I think it would be good to receive some advice of those who tried different roms.
Thanks for your time, and hope this thread is useful to solve other questions also.
The reason is that people get bored of same old UI.
So we try ICS and JB.
They do support UI flexibility.
Also performance of phone increases in games[That's not for you]
And They also support more number of apps than GB.
But be sure that you won't get same battery backup though.

some apps dont work on GB (google chrome, google now, etc..), thats why i switched to JB...
battery wise, mine last a day (using an internet simcard and switched to 2g), used only for updates, whatsapp and viber...
if you were to switch to a custom rom, i would suggest you use jellybam...
But jelly bean and ICS have lower autonomie than GB
About 1 or 2 day

Hi there.
I m currently using Frankenstein Mod (v 3.8) and i want to go for some JB or ICS mod which should be at least equal to Frankenstein in terms of Performance. Please .. and i want a fully functional Keyboard, To play 'Agent Dash', possibly error free GPS and full whatsapp.
Any good suggestion will be appreciated. And i have REMICS-JB in my mind!! what say

That's the risk to use JB or ICS, but if you use Jelly Bam the recommend version + Revolution Kernel = your phone live about 1,5 day or 2 day (I'm on Jelly Bam)
Of course, your phone still need some setting in the performance menu, suggested governor: SmartassV.2 with min speed 300 and max speed 1000 or 1200. That should give you no lag but battery saving phone. If you think your phone taking too much power, use CPU Spy, you can found it on Play Store

According to this, there's no reason to go for ICS or JB (Plus, these are NOT totally stable/reliable/functional).
Stick to good GB kernel/roms.

Well..
I tried to install CM10 Alpha 4 with no success. I don´t know if it is some trouble with my modem (I´m from Argentina), or what, but I tried 4 times to install it and couldn´t make it work fine.
Now I´m on CM9 Alpha 14, with Alpha´s 11 Kernel.
I like it, but I find it a little bit laggy.
Is this just a characteristic from ICS in our phone?
Any other Kernel to recommend?
Now that I´ve tried ICS and JB, I can say that a big difference I find is the way some shortcuts work.
For example, when you pull down the notifications menu, you can access the setting from there, and in JB, you can go to alarms or calendar.
Also I like the new recent apps.
What has to do with the design, I find ICS and JB really pretty. Spaces between things in menus, and other stuff look very well.

Defntly for daily usage i strongly recommend GB over ics/jb.. The main issue with later 2 os is battery. I m nt getting even half day with moderate usage..(at present i m using REMICS 1.7) bt still m using it bcs it is more user friendly, support more apps finally, atleast to my frnds i can say "i m running more advanced os than u"
:thumbup:
Some user have good battery life with jelly bean (2 days) !!!

For me, I use Jb instead of Gb because:
-Video call with Gtalk. No Gtalk vid call on Gb.
-Beautiful UI. The spaces, the consistency of usage of colours, the fresh new look of android.
-Built in Data Monitor. I can track my data usage and warning if almost reach limit.
-Expandable volume control(we can set media volume, ring volume and alarm volume just by pressing the button)
-Great keyboard.
-more apps supported.(apex launcher, some games, Chrome, stuff)
-settings button accessible in notification
-Swipeable notification (I like this because i can keep my text message to be read later while deleting other notification)
-Quick reply text messages using button on notification area without opening the messaging app.
-Google Now cards. It shows stuff without having to search for it.
-Very organized system settings.
-Different Widget displayed.(eg. Google+ widget in GB is a text bar to post new statuses. In JB, it shows people from our circle's posts.)
-Fast stock browser. (Updated html support)
-Can save web page for offline reading.
-can place shortcuts on lockscreen.
-apps on the market had given guidelines on the app layout.(not making apps that looks like iPhones and Windows phone apps)
-No pre-installed bloatwares.
-Can show to s2 users that I already have JB while they still ICS
Benefits of Gb over Jb(at this time):
-Tethering (tethering in cm10 is not yet possible)
-Have FM Radio in stock rom. Good to hear free music when bored.
-Have UMTS Video Call in stock rom. Can Video call using carrier charges(its the same price as voice call in my country. Very good to have)
-Can create folders INSIDE the app drawer.(value packs only)
-Good battery usage.
I would prefer JB more because I could use my phone more effectively. About the lag, I used the performance tweak and the Project Butter enchanter mods by Top Droid and the lag is gone!

amifiq which rom are you using & how good is the battery backup?
Im using cm10a3. Usually it last like a day if i use it like sms, whatsapp, calls. But if you want good battry life, use gb. Cm10 isnt stable yet so have not as good battery as stock.

As rightly pointed out by amifiq in earlier post
My views will be similar to what he said.
But to be frank Battery lasts only for a day at the most.
leaving it I would rather prefer the JB instead of GB.
Above all it is the firmware created by our devs.
That is more important to go for JB.

[ROM][AOSP][4.3.2.1.000.000] OpenMaster Nightlies [grouper]

I will be compiling AOSP's master branch (almost) nightly. This branch is, at times, very unstable and can have many issues. Most issues cannot be fixed without upstream changes.
I guarantee no stability or the fact that your device will work. It's your choice to use this. Don't blame me for something that goes wrong (even though nothing probably will).
You will need to flash Gapps in order to use the Play Store. You can get Gapps from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Flashing for the first time:
1. Reboot into recovery.
1a. Backup current ROM
2. Wipe data.
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash Gaps
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy
Upgrading
1. Reboot into recovery.

Nice to see another pure aosp out there! Too bad about tweaks though, some tweaks I just can't live without anymore. That aside I'd rather have barebones over bloat

I may make another ROM at a later time that is a tweaked master branch, but for now, this is staying pure AOSP. I haven't seen any frequently maintained master branch builds, and I think that the n7 community needs that. It's nice to have an up-to-date build of what Google is working on.
And remember, if there's a super awesome feature you think it oughta have, maybe AOSP will merge your contribution!

Features I was thinking of were mostly addons & some performance some ui tweaks which I don't think an aosp purist would likely agree on:
Cpu/ I/O memory management
Battery bar (miui, not a big break away from stock but not important)
Quick Settings toggles: extra buttons
Nav bar button editing
Kill app on long press of back button
Recent apps clear all & memory display
Battery statusbar options (I've always used %)
Statusbar clock settings (right/centre)
Some of those are purely subjective but things like kill app on long press, QS and navigation button settings should be built into the aosp source IMO. I get your philosophy behind this and I don't mind the missing features but I don't think I can keep pure aosp for very long after being spoiled with so many feature rich roms over the last few years
There are many people who would appreciate this though so I hope it gets the respect it deserves. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll consider those if I ever work on another ROM. In the meantime, let's keep this thread fully focused on AOSP and this ROM. I really do appreciate the suggestions.

Essentially, yes. As I am sure you probably understand, each git repo can have multiple branches and Google creates a branch after each stable release. However, they also have a working branch that they push to frequently (many times per day) with changes called "master" and this is a nightly build of that branch. So, this is like the stock ROM, except it is on their working branch, not their 4.2.2 branch. In the build files, this is referred to as "OpenMaster", and Android version 4.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.
You'll notice some features that aren't in the stock ROM and you'll notice some (but not all) of the features reported to be in the 4.3 ROMs.
This branch tends to be slightly less stable, but it also is very interesting to use. I use it as my daily driver and have for awhile. There are some bugs, but they tend to get squashed within a few days.
If you want to see a changelog, check AOSP review.
I have two more questions:
- How can I get notifications about updates?
- How can I build the Master branch for my Galaxy Nexus?
Oh and btw. good rom! It is really interesting to test those new features and have some bugs.

Sorry, but at this time, you'll need to check the downloads page daily (probably around 10PM GMT-5 I'll have done it if I will) to see if I've posted a new build for the day. Maybe I will later make an app and put it in the Play Store and it will notify you when a new build is posted.

You'll need to sync AOSP and it includes the source for GNex. You'll need to download the proprietary files separately and unzip them. If you have questions, PM me. Also, http://source.android.com/source/building.html may be of some help.

Check out this handy tool. I'm usually anti widget but this lil tool is amazing for setting a brightness slider anywhere on the screen.
I've used it since way back before the status bar mod was available and I still use it pretty often if the ROM doesn't have it included.
Can be configured I'm about every way possible.

OpenMaster with 4.3 (officially versioned as 4.3.2.1.000.000) is available for download. Grap the latest nightly here.
SuperUser is almost definitely not working; additionally I cannot confirm how well the gapps package works with 4.3.
This release is 4.3 plus what you see merged on AOSP Code Review.
This build was made with the 4.2.2 proprietary binaries. A build with the 4.3 proprietary binaries will be released later today.
Edit: The build available (AOSP-OpenMaster-kalaker-grouper-20130724-fixed_binaries.zip).
IMPORTANT: As of 20130724, the OpenMaster builds are based on Android 4.3. With Google's official release of Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (grouper), a new bootloader, version 4.23, was released. OpenMaster builds after 20130724 have only been tested with the new bootloader. No support will be provided for users of the older bootloaders.

[Q] Fave rom?

Seems like "what's the best rom" is not a helpful question...not even "what's the best rom for battery life/speed/etc" because there are too many variables and people use their phones differently under different conditions.
So, I'd like to know - what's your favorite rom is for the Photon Q, and why?
My favorite is CM 11, because of speed and because swipe-down status bar & tiles are super useful. It's also updated frequently, so hopefully I can get more out of the phone as time goes on.
Thoughts?
i like the mokee rom most, i tryed it because its the only rom for xt897 that support REAL multi-window
the new love was born. there are much features and better then in cm. an other part i love is the lockscreen notification
u can use the black ActiveDisplay feature like moto x. but the accu prefomance is also great. there is nothing i miss.
its really the best only the update function suck ;D
there are constant updates its on 4.4.4 jbbl

Best Custom Rom for Oneplus 6?

Two days ago i flashed Havic 3.0 on my device and alot of people are talking about Pixel Experience OS (not support for new updates) and i found PiXeN-OS that is supported for new updates. What OS is better PiXeN-OS or Havoc 3.0? Is it worth it to switch to PiXeN from Havoc?
I love Havoc, but only 2.9. I find 3.0 lacking in the features department so I went back to 2.9. Plus, 3.0 isn't true Android 10 as it uses 9.0.9 as a base which causes issues with custom kernels. Can't use Pie kernels as version mismatches and if you use any of the Q/10 kernels, you bootloop. I have tried PiXeN, but find the customisation side of it a bit empty. Nice stable ROM though with a nice set of features. If you are dead set on Android 10, I would suggest you go Siberia (it's like Havoc 3.0, but you can use RadioActive Kernel) or OmniRom for customisation and features.
If you don't mind Pie, then use Havoc 2.9. I was getting epic battery life with Havoc 2.9 and blu_spark kernel tweaked with amplify/powernap and Havoc's custom aggressive doze profile. Not found anything remotely close to it in terms of battery life. According to AccuBattery, a full charge can net me 200+ hours standby charge and 12 hours SoT with dark themes doing generic Browsing, Facebooking, Redditing and XDA app. It did say 280 hours briefly, but I am calling BS lol

From Havoc 2.9 / PiXeN / Siberia / OmniRom for you which one is more stable and has better battery life.
I don't really customize my rom too much because i like the stock experience.
The performance is not the priority for me because SD845 is already too fast for the application that i use.

I don't really customize my rom too much because i like the stock experience.
The performance is not the priority for me because SD845 is already too fast for the application that i use.

I was thinking about it last night and the only reason I am getting better battery life in Havoc 2.9 over any of the others you listed is because I can't seem to get Amplify to load properly on Android 10. If you don't drive into power saving apps like Amplify, ForceDoze, Power nap, Greenify and the custom settings like optimised doze values etc, the most recent Havoc would suit you better. It's currently got the most features and is the best for battery life when stock I found. Though a video I just watched said tests revealed Evolution X as the better Android 10 ROM for battery currently, but I can't vouch as I haven't tried it yet. May give it a go later as I am having keyboard and OnePlus gesture issues with the pie version of Siberia that I am testing.

Last night i flashed the PiXeN-OS from Havoc 3.0 5-12-2019 because i had some issues with gesture navigation bar. I will try Siberia too in 2-3 days. With the most recent Havoc did you mean the last night update 14-12? With those power saving apps you dont have problem with notifications or refresh for some apps especially the social apps?

They interfere with WhatsApp, but seeing as that's a battery hog chilling in the background and I only really use it to communicate with my partner, we just switched to text messages instead as they are not affected and if she needs to share photo's or video, she just messages me to tell me to check WhatsApp and it loads the messages when I open the app. Not sure if it affects Facebook as I use the alternative app called 'Friendly' for Facebook as it can be skinned black to save on power and doesn't constantly stay connected to Facebook servers and drain battery. I didn't know Havoc updated. I was referring to whatever version was newer roughly 5 days ago.
