So is this the end of the "ACS ICS "rom?
PLEASE SAY IT ISN'T SO!
Honestly, I love that rom! It's been my daily driver since you created it. The 5.5 update is awesome on my phone. I thought I found the "one ROM to rule them all. " Crud, my girlfriend loves it too! Please continue work on it.... Now I know why the thread got locked....
But seriously, ACS ICS kicks all sorts of a$$ and it would really suck if you abandon it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

So is this just ACS ICS? Or something completely new?

The screens don't show up on the XDA app.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

So did they completely get rid of the ACS ICS thread? I didn't see it in a quick search.. so my guess is ACS will release their own ROM based on the same EI22 and call it good while throwing you to the wolves?
Intersting being that SRF1.3 has been in the works for e. V. E. R.

I chose to leave.The ACS ICS thread is still there and I will rename it back, I just needed to get this ready. Also, I will post a flashable ics theme but until then, just flash gitusum's. This rom is basically my last one with a new theme and new name.

Marcus my friend, you are the man!! This is soooo awesome. You and I were just talking about a red ROM too and you made it so!! Man, I cannot say Thank You enough!! I am flashing this bad boy now. Thank you Thank You Thank You my friend!

Good to hear it is you're decision. I will defintately continue to follow your work.
Maybe you cannot answer, but is ACS still supporting the Epic? It seems you're the only one to venture in here, and we have seen nothing of SRF1.3.
Just curious.

Quick question: I'm still on EC05 (SFR). Can I flash the EI22 modem then this ROM, or do I have to flash stock EI22 first?

U can flash the custom rom. No need to flash stock EI22

I was wondering this too ^^^ I mean no disrespect to your work/preference Marcus, but I feel like the red theme just doesn't fit me :\ I believe you said you'd be releasing the ICS theme from the other ROM, if that's the case, then that's something I'd be more incline to flash over this ROM

Not sure why everyone wants srf 1.3. Its syndicate from FROZEN as in frozen yogurt i.e. Froyo. A new rom based on gingerbread would provably not use the frozen moniker. If you like ACS then any rom should do. If you just think srf was awesome its not the group but the dev k0nane who created it and mystery emotions who updated. Can't blame you for liking their work but I think our current crop of devs is doing a great job.

Awesome rom. Awesome theming. Only unthemed thing is the volume bar and progress bars. They are still blue. Check out the upward spiral framework metamorph tho. Just morphed it and now I'm alllll red baby

I'm on 5.5 and Shane's new Honeycomb Fusion Explosion 3.0, with no intentions of going anywhere (unless the new Viper Rom comes out soon). I'm getting unbelievable battery life and Shane's themes are awesome (especially if you are into blue, which I am.) But Marcus' ROMS are top shelf, regardless of who he teams with. Incidentally, the above post is correct- all of our devs are doing magnificent work- Marcus, Hoffman, CK23, Random, Starskyrob; everyone (I know there are a lot). Give love to every one of them- they're what make our device so great.

[q] new to skyrocket

Hey guys i recently purchased a skyrocket and I do indeed plan on rooting it. I have a few questions about the phone though. Is there any special apps just for the skyrocket. Also what cool things can I do without a root? Im comming from and iPhone 4s so please excuse me if the questions sound a little silly.

define "cool things"....different for a lot of people.
you don't need root to make your phone look cool. There are tons of apps that can change the look of your phone without ever needing root.
Here's my phone

Lockscreen is Widget Locker with Sense theme and Simple Text for the icons
Lockscreen clock is bobclock

Homescreen icons are all Simple Text along with the dock icons
Launcher is ADW Ex
Weather and clock is Fancy Widgets Pro
The wallpaper is one of my own....I have a thread in Themes where I post all my Custom wallpapers.
There are literally thousands of ways to make your phone unique..

If all you want is to change the LOOK of your phone.....then theres no need to root.
do what the Man ( Mortem ) above said and check out those apps.

There really isn't anything good that can come from rooting you're skyrocket. All the roms for it are very unstable. The only things you could add are maybe battery percentage meters at the status bar and a few very minor mods but the phone is to new you wont really enjoy anything from rooting it.

Well rooting for me is always a given... as i like certain fonts, and adblock... but atm stock rooted on my skyrocket has been a wonderful exp.. where as prev phones stock roms have most always sucked.. Plus if I feel the need to theme or change etc I have my atrix to toy with.. the skyrocket is my work/daily driver,

THIS WHOLE STATEMENT IS BS...........
there ARE stable Roms for our phone, there is an unstable Kernel that may require patches to run right. but you can always run the stock/stockish kernels. Red Sonja is my Daily and is VERRRY stable for a beta. the Rockateer Rom is also stable along with TCPs and Quickwiz. maybe i dont know your idea of stable.
the CM7 rom has bugs and is unstable....but even that RUNS stable if you set it up RIGHT<<<< right being the key here.
anyway, that **** rubs me the wrong way.....
Your statement is your Opinion and it SUCKS. (that my op)

Pac all in one true 4.1.2 is very stable. No, problems. That statement was absolutely false. Rooting just gives you control . But you can change visual without it. See Google

I big to differ. I can name at least 6 roms here that are 99.9% stable. This is the first post I ever took offense to. Why are you on xda again???
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I don't agree with the tone, but I do agree that there are many stable roms. Do you're homework before rooting or using a custom Rom and you'll be happy. The cm10's are faster, smoother, and better battery life than ics. The other jb roms are just as good. Just make sure you get a rom that is specific to your device or you will create a brick. All Sll's are not the same.

Haha are you guys serious right now? Arguing with a guy who's not even in the same time period as you. Do you even look at post dates? Did you not see discussion of CM7 before you started tossing around CM10?
Regardless, reading this did take me back. My first skyrocket ROM was made by PirateGhost. Red Sonja was queen of the skyrocket back then. And now Doc's back after a long hiatus with AoCP. And Mortem used to provide some great theme work. Now that's the skyrocket forum I miss. When the biggest issue was getting vibration to work on Red Sonja. Not the countless number of repeat questions and the lack of search skills.

Sounds good, I will be sure to give this a try as I am reverting back to 2.3 for now.
Seems like it is hard to find a simple ROM that "just works" without 100 tweaks and apps that does who knows what these days on GB.

Go jscott...Go jscott....

Nice work man... Ill add it to my list of things to flash whenever i get a chance.

Thanks for the ROM.
Will it be save to flash Core A from [Kernel][GB][OC/UV][CIFS][HDMI-MHL] Infusion-Z, Zen Kernel Mods <2012-05-20>?

Ha, sorry guys, didn't mean to make a big deal about the stars. I'm a teacher and probably a life-long student, so feedback is something I really value. To be honest, though, this is just a project I'm working on for fun while I have some time on summer vacation. I'm not too concerned if people like it so far or not - just thought it was funny that people were already rating it. Four stars ain't too bad, though. As just the base right now, the parts that I've worked on are only at about two stars in my book.

Agreed that its meaningless, but i feel that if your going to use the meaningless feature, you should atleast flash the ROM before doing so as i am sure that there are atleast a few people that take the star ranking system into consideration when searching for a ROM. Just my 2 cents.

Teacher here as well. Enjoy your summer. Relax and tinker away. We are here to support you.

[ROM] MaceksMod Mecha Rebirth - AOSP style ICS ROM

[ROM] MaceksMod Mecha Rebirth - AOSP style ICS ROM
Why is this rom still so bloated.
A rom with 100 meg or less is not bloated

Though I don't run it, macek's is an "AOSP style" rom, and isn't AOSP at all, but sense-based with elements of the sense ICS OTA removed, theming, and mods adapted from AOSP. The file size of the official ICS RUU is huge, 550+MB, it would be unrealistic to expect even a slimmed (desensed) rom based from it to be under 100mb and retain essential functionality... macek's rom is roughly 250mb in size...

I'm currently running it and it doesn't feel bloated at all. Battery life is superb as well.

Is this with an extended battery/rezound battery, or is this with the OEM HTC battery that comes with the Tbolt? I would flip of this was with the latter..

Ah, it is with an extended battery. 3200mAh Seidio extended.

People have reported stats similar to those running UnSense on a newer oem battery.

Can't post in the actual thread yet but I'm liking this ROM a lot. It's pretty much Ice Ice Baby with some changes. I replaced the mms apk with the one from Liquid ICS (because emoji and a few other issues with it) and I replaced Google Now with the Google search files from Ice Ice Baby (because it was force closing and Google Now always sucks on tb roms anyway).
Also switched to Nova Launcher since I already had the paid version.
I would love to be able to find a stock messaging apk with emoji AND a dark theme. Also I removed the contacts app and left the HTC people app because even though it's ugly, the contacts app was buggy and doesn't have the Facebook link (and I'm too ocd to keep both).
I would love to be able to customize the lock screen as well.
Overall I'm just happy this outdated phone is still getting some love.

There's currently an SMS app being written by someone named Shortfuse. It's still in rather early beta, but I'm looking forward to exclusively using it once it is fully finished with a basic feature set (mms, etc)

So the MacecksMod thread has been locked. something about "use your own base" or something. Whatever, I'm not interested in dev drama. I am on version 2 of this ROM, didn't want to skip to Version 3 with the bluetooth problems people were reporting.
So....what now? is the ROM dead now that the main dev thread was locked by XDA? Any other forum I can get updates? I'm not interested in stupid dev drama, I just want a solid ICS ROM for my Thunderbolt.

I'm not sure. I'm having some trouble with root on v3, but I don't use bluetooth. Hopefully it'll be sorted out soon?

Thanks, I checked it out and downloaded it. Concept looks cool but still obviously needs some work. I wonder if he'll be able to get the contacts pictures that were synced from Facebook to work. That only seems to work in stock messaging for me. Also working emoji in would be great. I know it's stupid but it's annoying to get texts with boxes in them.

I'm on 2.0 and pretty happy with the way it is now. Like I said in my other post I fixed the Google search and sms problems with apk's from other roms. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether mms works because I never use it.

closing this thread as well.
Rom will be back up soon as Jester gets time to put together his own stock base to build off of.
