Now that the phone's been rooted, how do I completely wipe every single trace of SenseUI? In other words, I want it to look like nearly every other Android phone out there. White status bar etc.
Removing Rosie.apk from /system/app did nothing...
Question I'd like answered as well. I'm guessing we'll have to wait for a full custom ROM. Though I can say that all Sprint stuff I've removed has all ready made the phone much snappier.
Well you dont really have to remove sensui, you can just set the phone to only show just the regular home. You can do that by going to settings > applications > Manage Applications find HTC Sense and click that and click clear defaults. When you do that press home and check the check box that says use as default or something like that and click Home icon on the screen.

But that's the problem, it only shows regular home and nothing else from the vanilla Android.

Sense UI still runs in the background.
And you're not gonna get this phone to run completely without unless you flashing a custom rom. The Sense UI is more than just 7 screens and widgets. It's the taskbar, dialer, calendar, lock screen and a bunch of different apps and such.

Some people like to be more "minimalist" and tweak for every ounce of performance (and further, it's just a personal preference thing...like some people like the looks of a Camaro over a Mustang and vice versa).

Oh ok, I see. I do know of some people that prefer the vanilla look, because it's what they are used to.
As mentioned above, there are still some HTC-specific apps on the phone even after removing Rosie.apk. Removing Rosie does prevent it from starting up a service on boot, but there's more to be removed/replaced to get a fully vanilla android experience.
One of the problems is getting the vanilla app that will replace the HTC one. Not all of the vanilla android apps are open source and available to just drop in as a replacement. You also have to be sure that the SDK version matches, or you'll get compatibility problems. For example, you can't drop in Calendar.apk from a CyanogenMod ROM (1.6) onto these phones because it won't work on 1.5. You'd need to get the 1.5 version of the app. And even then, HTC may have modified other core components (we know they hacked in CDMA support into 1.5, so there's no telling what else they modified in order to make vanilla 1.5 wholly incompatible with the modified platform -- if they did at all, of course).
You should feel free to experiment with removing/replacing apps on the phone, now that you have the ability to do so. Just keep in mind that you may very well break something if you remove the wrong app, etc. So, make sure you a) keep a backup of EVERY file that you replace/remove; in fact, I backed up the entire /system/app/ directory so that I have every app that I change; and b) have a root-capable recovery image (RA recovery 1.2.3) so that if your phone stops booting, you can go into recovery, mount /system, and restore whatever you last changed, to see if it fixes it.
I've already removed Rosie, all the (non-essential) Sprint apps, and all the HTC Widgets (com.htc.*Widget.*, Htc*Widget.*, Sprint_{N*,TV*}.apk, and several other HTC apps. No issues so far. One thing I noticed is that removing the apk from /system/app/ doesn't seem to remove all traces of the app... When I run fix_permissions from the recovery rom, it still looks for those apk files I removed, and gives a note that the file is gone and I should reinstall. Obviously, it's gone for a reason, but I haven't looked into why it's able to see that it should be there and isn't.
Hello all,
Finally iam releasing this rom which is in a next level than any other wm 6.5 or 6.5.x rom only for viva in the sense that it has got some major modifications. Okay now ready to evolve your phone? hey wait a min i thought first a test version would be a excellent idea. So that makes this rom only for little advanced users and not for daily usage.

feedback!!
heres all the things i noticed:
-when i get out of the start menu to home screen....it keeps showing the previous page.....i guess thats because of the lack of titanium.
-please add showcase, since theres no task manager lots of programs remain open and the phone becomes slow in a few minutes.
-bluetooth OK
-wifi OK
-When IE starts it says cannot open blank page....but then works fine.
-When i get an incoming call, i cannot see the name or the number of the person calling.
-When i make an outgoing call theres a scroll bar on the right...for which i see no purpose.
Hope this helps.....what you've done looks good....hope you can figure out solutions for the problems i mentioned......thanks again.....

I just saw those details, but I like that is clean, with nothing changed, looks like a rom drawn from Microsoft, and that is what we all
my feedback
download size is 39.42 which is 7z compressed.
i am downloading it now...will give my feedback soon.
congrats on your release, jagan!!!
Feedback==================
Bugs
#1: Vibrate not working. Phone does not vibrate when set to vibrate mode.
#2: In the Lockscreen, you have to tap 'Unlock' twice to really unlock.
#3: After running some programs (ex. PPC PimBackup) the phone becomes very slow. I checked the processes using FcdSoft Task Manager v3.1 and found one of the process 'cprog.exe' was consuming about 60% - 80% of the CPU resource. I 'killed' it and it becomes okay again...
#4: In USB-to-PC pop-up, there is no 'Storage Device'!!! just ActivSync and Internet Sharing.
Suggestion:
#1: will it be okay if you remove 'Microsoft My Phone'
#2: and what about removing 'Marketplace' too?? I don't think many people uses it. If they want they can install it, right??
more to come soon...
Some more changes

Another imp thing: Someone confirm if the SMS bug fixed and working properly?

Hi Bro,
1. Volume button started working after few restarts.
2. Agreed with Windows Default
3. Phone option generally has "Vibrate when call connect"
Just one funny thing....when the device is locked you can very well click on "Start" then nothing gets clicked....
Please fix the display problem when person calls its not displaying the name...
rest all is fine...

For showcase you have to first go to home screen then it opens whereas arksoft can be accessed from any screen, so my vote goes to arkswitch let see what others say.
btw complete rom will be up in few hours or may be more than few hours.

Update - 06/06/10 said:
It has come to my attention that the developer of SetCPU would like SetCPU removed from all ROMs by default, and instead have a link placed from the first post of the ROM thread to his thread here on XDA - where SetCPU can be downloaded either free of charge, or for $1.99 (donation). Until Rev8, I won't be revising this, but I am highly recommending that you consider donating to the developer of the application. You can do so by clicking here.
You can also check out the SetCPU thread by clicking here. It contains the newest version of SetCPU.
I'm terribly sorry for this mishap and will no longer include SetCPU by default.
I would also like to point out that the reason SetCPU is in /system/app in ZenEXP-Eris isn't to stop users from donating to the developer, but because I had issues with it being pushed from /data/app to /system/sd/app - when A2SD is activated - during beta testing where it would FC randomly. Moving it solved the issue for now. Installing SetCPU from your memory card or the market will result in it being properly placed and cached in your phone and the issue shouldn't present itself.

Landscape Rosie, HTC Music & HTC Weather (Thanks to zenulator)
BusyBox
A2SD 2.7 Update 1

Recent apps in notification dropdown
Enhanced Browser with quicklookup and text selector bars(Like the Legend)
Set number of home screens in rosie (5 or 7)
..and loads of other things that didn't make the list
What's Broken in ZenEXP Rev7:
Trackball LED. LED notifications work, they're mapped to the charging/battery LED for now.
"Mobile Network Options" FC's. It's not built to work on a CDMA device, thus the FC.
Gmail doesn't always sync automatically. Manually syncing works just fine.
After taking a picture in the stock Camera app, if you select the button to send it to someone, you will get an
instant FC. This camera app is from another ROM, Zippy is working on getting the stock app to work with this and,
hopefully, it will be included in the future.
Added:
Astro File Explorer (com.metago.astro.apk)
Spare Parts removable through Astro
Google Maps v4.2 (upgraded from v4.0) removable through Astro
XDA-Developers by TapaTalk v1.0 (xdadevelopers.apk) removable through Astro
Wireless Tethering removable through Astro
SetCPU
Any of the apps above can be removed with Astro, except Astro itself and SetCPU. You'll need another file explorer or adb to remove Astro, since it can't remove itself, and SetCPU is install as a System App
Warnings:
Code:
During your first boot-up of this ROM you will be presented with the option to choose
what you like to do with your phone, including:
[LIST]
[*]Always checking my social networks
[*]Viewing recent photos
[*]Keeping up with my schedule
[*]Checking my mail
[/LIST]
[U]Do not[/U] select any of these four buttons as
they seem to cause issues, specifically with Gmail. [I]Selecting them doesn't place
widgets on the home screen as they would on the MyTouch 3G Slide[/I]
Code:
Some applications may FC --ONE TIME-- after applying a new myModes theme.
This should only happen to applications that myModes applies it's theme to, but it will
only happen the first time after installing/applying a new myModes theme.

Very Important Info Regarding Overclocking & SetCPU
zanfur said:
SetCPU doesn't actually set parameters until you make a change, and it will default to min/max at 19.2/864, which is clearly going to crash on every Eris we've tried. When you flash this, be sure to do the following, or it's your own darn fault if you get stuck in a reboot loop!
Select "Autodetect" on the device selection screen
Make sure that SetCPU is not set to start at boot, until you know you've found settings that won't freeze your phone on boot.
Make sure that the first thing you set is to move the max down to a value you know is stable. If it's your first time, set it to 528 and increment up from there.
The "performance" governor is like "always use the highest frequency of the range". It's useful for testing.
A number of people have asked what my SetCPU profiles look like. They look like this:
Default: 480/768 (I have it clock down to 480 instead of 528 because 480 actually uses a lower voltage.)
Standby: 160/245 (I like battery life. It takes a while to show me who's calling, though, when it rings while in standby.)
Failsafe: 40C/245/245 (40 degrees is probably too hot. I want to stop it before it melts, which would be around 50 degrees.)
If you don't want to overclock your Eris but still want to use this ROM, simply uninstall SetCPU with Astro or, if you haven't run it yet, don't run SetCPU.

How to install ZenEXP-Eris
Reboot into Recovery
Perform a Nandroid Backup
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Dalvik Cache
Flash ROM
Please be patient, it takes a few minutes to boot for the first time
Allow the phone to boot up for 2-3 minutes before having at it, it's
much faster this way
MMS Fix is built-in, do not flash any MMS fixes!
NOTE: If you plan to use A2SD, you need to create the appropriate partition on your SD card. I recommend: Swap: 0MB, EXT2: 512 or 1024MB. Once you've partitioned, it is highly recommended that you convert your EXT2 partition to EXT3 in Recovery. EXT4 is not supported in ZenEXP-Eris. Also note that creating a partition will wipe your entire card, so please back it up to your computer in advance.

Download Rev8-Beta1
NOTE: I don't have an Eris, so I make no guarantees with this build! Make sure you nandroid backup prior to flashing, just in case!
The Rev8 Beta is up in the Beta Testers Lounge!
Feel free to join, but expect issues and be prepared to use ADB to logcat EVERYTHING so I can fix it.
Changes from Rev7 (so far);
First-boot-setup isn't customized yet
Based on ZenEXP 0.9.7
Deodexed
Gmail Push Fixed

Mobile Network settings will Force Close (This is a GSM rom from T-Mobile it does not have the CDMA Settings for Sprint)
There is no PRI or PRL Updates (Again a GSM Rom does not support this)
Contacts Widget will force close (This Rom had faves not a people widget)(This widget must remain for friendstream to work)
Get More Widgets Not Working
Landscape Rosie has been removed for the time being (Might be back in later)
myMode Themes will reboot the phone once applied (this is normal for our devices)
This is a VERY preliminary release. I haven't applied any visual customizations to this build yet, I've simply ported it over and patched a few background processes to work for the Verizon network. Once I know what works and what's broken, I will move forward with customizations. This is an ALPHA/BETA build! expect issues and please report them back asap!

If HTC Sync isn't working properly for you, and it probably isn't, please use the guide and files included below to complete the installation and sync.
For the record, I haven't always had to do this. I was able to install and sync as-normal when using Vista on my old laptop (with the exception of having to disable Avast! during sync's) and even when I first got my laptop and had a stock Eris w/ 1.5. That all changed when I started using this ROM.
Although it'd be pretty damned hard to mess this up, please remember that you, and only you, are responsible for your actions and the end result(s) when using my guide and the files below.

NOTE: You should always check your Windows Task Manager -> Processes panel and make sure adb.exe isn't running. If it is, select it and click "End Process" and you'll be good to go.
UPDATE: I've also noticed that, sometimes, I'm unable to sync by selecting "sync now" from the phone. I can, however, sync by clicking Sync in the HTC Sync application on the computer.
HTC_Sync_2.0.33.exe (installs the below files)

Please read the entire README.txt twice before installing anything. If you still need further help with this, feel free to PM me but only after you've exhausted all efforts to accomplish this yourself

1. Save anything you have open and close it
2. Uninstall HTC Sync
3. Start > Run > type: msconfig
4. Go to the services tab, tick the "hide all Microsoft programs" box (at the bottom of the msconfig window)
(This is very important to click on hide all Microsoft services first or computer issues can occur - be sure to tick this box)
5. Now once that is ticked, click on disable all (Microsoft services are hidden as you ticked the box so they will not be disabled now, it's important that microsoft services don't get disabled, so make SURE you ticked the box as described above)
6. Go to the startup Tab, click on disable all
7. Click Apply, then click Restart Now when prompted
8. The PC will restart with only essential Microsoft programs running
9. Click on do not show this again, if prompted
10. Install HTC Sync (use the file I've included here, it includes the correct driver and HTC Sync version!)
11. Plug in your Eris
12. Your Eris should notify you that you're in Disk Mode (assuming you haven't changed the default, otherwise it could be set to Sync mode or Charge Only mode by default)
13. Slide your notifications drawer down on your Eris and select Disk Mode (again, assuming you haven't changed it, otherwise it will say Sync or Charge Only mode)
14. Once prompted, select Sync and click Done
15. Wait a moment and wait for your computer to find your Eris, setup your Eris in the wizard and enjoy!
Once you've completed the above and sync'd your Eris for the first time, you need to do the following:
1. Start > Run> Type: msconfig
2. Go to the services tab, tick that "hide Microsoft services" box again, then click on "enable all"
3. Go to the startup tab, click on "enable all" (You may choose to leave any unchecked that are slowing your computer down, please check google to see what you can and can't disable here)
4. Click Apply, then click Restart Now when prompted
5. Once your PC reboots, plug your Eris back in and try to Sync, does it work? If not, disable your firewall(s)/AntiVirus and try again. I have Avast! and I have to "disable all shields for 10 minutes" before syncing in order for it to work, most likely you will have to as well.
This is the ZenEXP-Eris FAQ section.
Please read through them all before posting for help as your issue is probably covered below.
UPDATE: If you haven't read this FAQ and/or you're asking for help with something that's already been covered here, your plea will be ignored.
I'm sorry to have to do this, but I need to spend more time perfecting the build for Rev8 and less time explaining the same things over and over again.
This FAQ was last updated for ZenEXP-Eris Rev7
Q: Isn't there already a ZenEXP thread?
A: No, not anymore. Hector has moved on and I started an entirely new port.

Click to collapse
Q: Why aren't my softkeys and hardkeys lighting up?
A: The softkeys and hardkeys only light up in dark areas. Try covering the light sensor (top left portion of the Eris, to the left of the ear speaker) to see them light up in a well-lit area.

Q: My MMS isn't working, can you fix it?
A: There is an MMS patch for all builds up to Rev6. Rev7 and later builds all include the MMS patch built-in and pre-installed.

Q: A2SD isn't working, what's going on?
A: Did you partition your SD card in Recovery (Volume Up + Power on, while the phone is off, will bring you into Recovery. From there, you'll see the option to partition). I recommend the following for Eris users; Swap:0MB, EXT2:512MB or 1024MB, once you've created your partition head to the main menu of Recovery -> Other -> EXT2 to EXT3. I don't recommend EXT4, but you're welcome to try it.

Q: My phone seems slow now that I installed your ROM, what gives?
A: Is this your first boot, or did you just boot up your phone? The fact is that your first boot will always take longer than any subsequent boot, and each time you boot up your phone it will take a moment for things to load.
I also recommend giving the phone 2-3 minutes to fully load each time you boot it up, unless you absolutely need to use it right away. When doing this, my phone running ZenEXP-Eris flies, and that's without overclocking.

Q: I installed a LWP (Live Wallpapers Patch) but it's not working, help?
A: I can't, sorry! HTC Sense isn't compatible with Live Wallpapers for Espresso at this time. There is an HTC Sense LWP patch, but it doesn't function with Espresso yet.

Q: Gmail isn't autosyncing, can you fix it?
A: I wish, but it's been an ongoing issue with ZenEXP and ZenEXP-Eris. The way around this is to a.) Use the Mail App and set it to poll every 15 minutes, or manually sync Gmail. This will be fixed in the future.

Q: My trackball/jogball LED isn't lighting up, what's wrong with it?
A: The trackball LED isn't functioning in this build, but I've mapped it to the charging LED so you still get notifications. Make sure you turn Notifictions on in Settings->Sounds & Display->Notification flash or they won't work at all.

Q: My screen won't change to landscape automatically, can you fix it?

Q: Mobile Network Options doesn't work in Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks, is it broken?
A: Yes, it's broken. It will FC everytime you try to open it because it's built to offer up Mobile Network Functions for a GSM device, not a CDMA device. The Eris is CDMA. This will be fixed in the future.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Your post says the ROM has 7 screens but it only has 5!
A: You have to change it from 5 to 7 in Settings->Personalize->Home screen pages. NOTE that once you change this, if you want to go back to 5 screens only, you'll have to do a Factory Reset.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: The People Widget doesn't work, what gives?
A: It's been removed in Rev7 because of this. It was never meant to work with this build. Zen and Zippy tried to get it working but, since it isn't yet, I've removed it.

Click to collapse
Q: Do I have to wipe anything to upgrade or can I just flash <newest build> over <older build>?
A: I recommend wiping everything (Data/Cache/Dalvik/EXT) before flashing every time you move to a newer build, to avoid issues and conflictions. The only time I don't recommend this is what I specifically state otherwise for a specific build/upgrade.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: I didn't read your entire thread and am now having issues, can you fix them for me?
A: Not until you read my entire thread twice and try to resolve them on your own. It takes a lot of time to debug, fix and release these builds and we all do it for free. The very least you can do is make sure the bug(s) you've found aren't already known before asking for help.

Q: If you removed FriendStream, how will I sync my Facebook Contacts?
A: I didn't remove HTCFacebook, which is what syncs Facebook Contacts.
In addition to HTCFacebook, Peep, a Twitter client, is also included, as well as the Official Facebook App.

Click to collapse
Q: My battery life sucks now, please fix it!
A: By default, the "Automatic Backlight Control" is turned off. Settings->Sound & Display->Brightness->check the box next to: Automatic Brightness.
You can also try recalibrating your battery:
Charge the phone to full battery; power off and let it keep charging until the light is green.
Boot to recovery mode and wipe battery stats
Use phone until the battery is so low it shuts itself down - DO NOT charge it until this happens

Q: I have a Class 4, 6 or 10 card, and would like to move Dalvik Cache to it, how do I do this?
A: Plug your phone in via USB, open up a command prompt or terminal and issue the following;
Code:
adb remount
adb shell a2sd cache
Once completed, I suggest rebooting your phone.

Q: I would like to enable ZipAlign at-boot, how can I do this?

Q: I don't care for some of the apps you've included, can I remove them?
A: Certainly! Open up Astro, click Menu->Tools->Application Manager/Backup->Select each application you'd like
to uninstall, one at a time, by tapping it and clicking the Uninstall button.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: After flashing your ROM, I only see "E" in my status bar, what happened to "3G" in other builds?
A: This build uses custom icons to indicate whether or not you're in a 3G zone. The "E" means "EvDO". When not in a E (or, 3G) zone, you will see "1x".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Is it normal for the "crosshair" in the status bar to have a line through it? Also, my GPS isn't working or Maps can't find me..
A: I've disabled GPS Location by default - even if you check it during setup - for privacy purposes. You can easily enable it in Settings->Location->Use GPS Satellites (It will bounce to a new screen where you should keep "Location ON" checked). This should also solve other GPS-related issues.

Rev6 is in the second post, please read everything more carefully next time.
Rev7 will be up tomorrow, it may not be worth installing Rev6 at this time, but you're welcomed to.
The mods you've requested can be done but I can't do them at this time as I have prepaid projects I'm working on right now as well as perfecting Rev7.

i installed the r6 tonight and it's beautiful. however, titanium backup 3.1.7 hangs when i batch reinstall apps.
Location Manager 1.2
This is my first yet-to-be-published app in the android forum so I am excited to see how it goes. I have thoroughly tested it on my HTC Aria but I would like to see the results on other phones. The idea is as follows:
IDEAAssume that you take your phone to different to different places and you are annoyed of turning off wifi, turning on gps and placing your phone on vibrate whenever you go to certain places. This program simply lets you keep specific profiles for specific places (such as your home, school or workplace). This saves you time, patience, as well as battery.
For example, I go to school and I turn off my gps, my wifi, and my Sound. When I go to work, I normally keep my sound on, my gps off, and my wifi on. I keep this program running and it simply takes the location from gps/wifi/cell tower(whichever is on) and it lets you program locations using an address and if it sees that I am there, it will run that profile. Thankfully, it also lets my override my profiles just in case I want to use google maps in school or keep my sound on at work.
Version ControlVersion 1.0 - The first version which has basic functionality with wifi and sound control. The settings page exists but does not function. The next version will have bluetooth support and full settings functionality.
Version 1.2 - This version has new icons and has functionality for settings page. Everything in the app should now work but may not
HelpPlease post on this thread whether this app works for you or if you are having difficulties.
Downloads (also available below to xda users)Version 1 - http://bit.ly/qW4l0A
Version 1.2 - http://bit.ly/pxCzUZ
Thanks for downloading my app
i always wanted something like that
On my HTC Inspire I get a force-close when I try to "add location" -> "update map".
@Gene Pool - I just discovered that stupid error. Ill fix it in the next version, but basically you are supposed to enter the address first and then press update to update the map. In the next version Ill make it say that
Giving it a go go on Samsung galaxy s2 running villianrom 2.0
Installed, sadly getting FC´s when starting the app
If anyone is willing to try a super unstable (yet newer) version of the app, please try out the following apk file. The settings page does not work but it fixes several gps fixing bugs which relate to the force closes.
-Thank You
Seems like I had to turn on GPS BEFORE starting the app. Now it force closes when choosing to add a location
Ive tried the beta version you posted, everything works except from adding a location, it still fc's on me.
Thanks for the hard work, it's time for a easy to use alternative to tasker
I tried the latest version, but I couldn't see the map. I can press Update Map, but no map appears. Just an empty raster.
On my wildfire I can't read the text at bottom(at main screen), it says "Settings page does not work yet. This is the alpha version."
There is some text below that, but it doesn't fit on my screen. And in landscape I can't see anything below Longitude.
On the about screen, I can't look further than "keeping unnecessary things running" on portrait.
I think it's better to put About and Settings into Menu, because most of the time you won't need it.
When adding/editting a location it's a little bit confusing. I think I'd prefer a dropdown menu for wifi/sounds. Values like: Wifi on, Wifi off, don't change.
When you leave the Profile Name empty, it'd be nice to get a default value.
When I press "Edit locations", and then use my back button, the application closes. I'd like to go back to main screen instead. When I open Edit Locations after adding locations/reading about/settings, and I press back button I need to press it serveral times, but nothing happens. After a few times it closes the application.
And I prefer imagebuttons instead of "edit" button, I'd be nice to have the edit button on the right.
It looks like your using LinearLayout with default Horizontal orientation. RelativeLayouts would be beter in some cases.
Latest comment, I think normal users don't care about his/her current Latitude/Longitude/Accuracy data. I think you could remove that.
Ok, that's it for now. I hope you can use some of my feedback
EDIT: Another bug, I need to kill the application to prevend it from using my GPS 24/7. I can't stop it the normal way. Also, I think it's better to use a service instead of Activity for things like this.
I Cant thank you guys enough for helping test the app. Anyway, I will apply those feedback into a new version and post again. Also, would you say the first one is better or the second one? I tested the new version today while going to work and I discovered several errors in GPS acquisition.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
EDIT:
Version 1.2 just got released - please try it out and it has incorporated several of the features you guys suggested.
Looks better than previous versions. But...Is there a way to delete locations?
Next one will have that and Bluetooth and backlight settings.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Post updated to reflect current version.
OK.. I'm mainly posting this here because my PC is too low to post in the dev thread.. and I think its best to leave that thread to dev discussion...
First impressions:
Installs quite smoothly and pretty fast.
My install method (in case its needed later)
- Back up and copy to pc
- Complete wipe to stock gb. Root gb and install cwm
- Copy ressurection 8.1 zip to SD card
- Reboot to cwm
- Format data/cache, dalvic cache, system and battery stats
- Reboot to cwm
- Select resurrection 8.1 zip and install. Takes about 5 min
- Reboot to recovery and factory reset (probably not needed but did it to be safe)
- Reboot normally and let system boot up. Takes 3-5 min on first boot
Now on to the fun stuff... on first boot I set up language, clock wifi account etc.
I selected and only use nova... I like it better than trebuchet.
Gmail notification crashes Google accounts right off the bat. This is persistent throughout 3 installs. Seems to work fine after initial crash.
Once SD card scanning and such finishes, i disable fast dormancy (*#*#9900#*#* for menu) thenI reboot normally.
Open market, works fine.. install some primary apps... titanium backup & pro key.. better battery stats, root explorer and LCD density monitor pro.
Set dpi to 160 to give me better screen real estate.. then reboot normally
I'm about 11.5 hours on battery and 83% battery with light to moderate use.. I disable mobile data stuff unless I need it, and generally keep wifi active most of the time..
Overall most things run very smoothly. Some apps don't seem to close properly when killed but I assume its due to those apps.
System does get laggy if a lot of apps are open and sleeping.. I use ATK pretty often to keep things smooth...
Problems I've run in to so far...
This one is pretty big I think... when using flashlight from notification panel, if I leave it on until it times out, my phone completely freezes and I have to long power press to reboot or remove battery to get system rebooted. This is persistent and replicated every time I tried.
Gmail app crashes about 30% of the time. Seems completely random. I'v disabled Gmail notification due to this.. (doesn't crash google accounts like above, just the gmail app)
When holding phone I can feel a very very faint vibration coming from the back side up near the camera.. it pulses about once every 2 seconds. You have to very lightly touch the phone to feel it.. like barely touching it. Not sure if its just mine but its very noticeable if you hold it right. Not sure what's causing this.. doesn't seem to affect anything and phone isn't overheating so I can't give more info...
Random reboots are something everyone is aware of so not commenting there. Nova does hang sometimes for 5-10 seconds. Probably due to this being a dev release and such things are expected.
I'll update more if/when I run in to other issues that people haven't really commented on...

android.acore process keep FC..really disturbing..
it bcoz of auto sync and i hope someone have a fix on this
I think v8.2 is the best among Westcripts ROMs. because of the least FC.
V.8.3
Flashed since yesterday , very stable , no FC's at all, however there is an USB problem , PC won't recognise the devised the way it was in previous versions. Nevertheless I believe it's a ICS bug as I found same behaviour in other Roms as well.
Not bad so far using 8.3
I noticed in his dev post he said that official ICS doesn't have blue coloured wifi/signal bars but I've used my friends nexus & his definitely has blue coloured wifi/signal bars when in use.
Everything else seems pretty smooth at the moment.
Looks like this problem with blue bars has been resolved in 8.4 Currently downloading (check change log).
Not being funny, but is there not a thread in the Development section to discuss this rom, surely creating another, just fragments the chefs build

Well actually, that thread is supposed to be for development discussion only; not for general Q&A 'how do I do this or that' like it has been. Which means, if people actually adhered to the rules, using this thread for all the 'HALP' posts would likely make development a lot easier for those working on this particular project. The less spam he has to sift through, the more actual development related posts he can focus on.
Not to mention, as I stated in the OP of this thread, I wasn't able to post my bugs there because of my post count.. So i posted them here, along with some other info (like how to install) about the release.
If only everyone who tried to play forum police actually knew what the dev forums are supposed to be for........
no searching for contact when I typing in number in phone, and T9 is not working in v8.4
Do any of u have the issue with notifications having a 'grey background'? I've had this since 8.3.
Also how can I change back to the stock bootanimation?
Thanks.

No issue with the notifications that I've seen so far on 8.4
To get the Samsung boot animation back, do the following:
if you have 8.3 or an earlier version, extract a copy then navigate to extracted file > system > media
copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to your sd card
in root explorer, navigate to your sd card > hit menu and multi select. Select the above to files then click copy/move.
Navigate to /system/media > mount R/W > paste.
Remove bootanimation.zip
set back to R/O and reboot phone.

Temporary fix posted by kevjef420:
go to market and install these three apps. ex dialer, ex dialer ics theme and ics adw theme by kovdev.
set the ex dialer as your main dialer in dock. open setting for ex dialer and select ics theme. then long click on the ex dialer icon in your dock and click edit and select adw theme pack and then find the ics blue phone icon.
now you have a very functional t9 dialer that is very similar to the miui dialer and it works great. I am very happy with the results. this is a good fix untill somebody comes up with a t9 fix for asop dialer.
I've flashed 8.5 and set language to German but somehow it's a mix of German and English!?!
Anybody with same problem or similar?
Navigation from Google Maps keeps force closing everytime i have GPS signal. Maps works fine. What could it be?
Thanks in advance!
v. 8.6
Just installed 8.6, really fast and smooth. Hour in use, no more process stopped.
I am not sure why but in one app's browser and in stock Android file browser I get unusual wide slider. It was normal on 8.4, but changed on 8.5.
