Review: just installed ICS 4.0.3 - Nexus S General

I'm a novice user at best, and just installed cyanogen 9, 4.0.3 with no problems. The verdict, its amazing! Seriously amazing how much faster EVERYTHING is. Menu's FLY, programs seem to pop up faster, and I can switch between the easier. I have a few widgets on my home-screens that made sliding back and forth dificult, now its SOO SMOOTH. It's like having a new phone.
I've barely read about the new features, but what I like best is....
- The voice-to-text tool is really cool. It does it word by word as your talking. I could be wrong, but it feels more accurate, not sure if that has changed or not.
- The camera app is cool because as soon as you take a picture, you have the option to share it via different programs.
- did i mention its wicked fast?
just my thoughts. Thanks to all the hard-work from the dev's that made this possible. I appreciate everything you guys do, and really enjoy reading in this forum and around the community.

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying ICS! I haven't made the jump yet as I am happy with gingerbread still. I fear that ICS has too many kinks to work out still lol. But whatever works for you
However, may I suggest posting in the correct forum next time? Nexus S General Forum --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=881 Just a note that other forum members aren't very forgiving for posting in the wrong forum so be careful!

What they are all trying to say is that this is the wrong section for this post. Where you want to be is the general section. This section is designated for development only.

Glorious - Blackhole 4.2

Hello everyone...
I want so badly to be able to post in teh Dev section to thank people for their work, but I do not have enough posts to do so...
I am a lurker - new to the Android world and loving every second of it... I generally do not believe in superfluous posts, but I need to simply reach 10 so I can thank people for their hard work and assist anyone running into issues that I also hit...
That said, I wanted to let you all know that I installed Blackhole 4.2 yesterday and it is wonderful. So as soon as it drops on here, consider it. I am using the phone that I have always wanted - and I am sure it will stay exactly the way it is for at least a week or two... until the next big exciting change gets made.
I truley never thought I would enjoy tinkering with a phone, modding bits and pieces of it so much... Sure, I have been modding cars for years, but now a phone... I am hooked and I want to thank this community for the wealth of info that we find in here and the good attitudes that go along with it...
Samsung Fascinate, EB01, Blackhole 4.2 FTW
Thank you Sonofskywalker3 for ALL your hard work!!
Good wirte up until you hit the "good attitudes that go along with it."
make a bad step an XDA and this place can be a bear!!
There's a thank you button for that. ;-)
Btw .... glorious ... Blackhole. I giggled a little.

Yep Blackhole is the heat. I was going to start a new thread until I searched..lol but Im gonna give Blackhole (sonofskywalker3) and Super Dark (thatdudebutch) a huge shoutout. I've been using this combo from the beginning and have no reason to change up. Do yourself a favor and give it a try when it drops!!

Rom Comparison

I am looking for a feature comparison of ROMS, kinda like when you compare TV's. Has anyone compiled such a list? I have just started using MIUI and really love some of the features in it, but I have been getting horrendous battery life. So I thought I would try a CM build. I realize that they are going to be different, but it would be nice if you could see if there are similarities between the 2 or if it would be a new learning curve again.
I looked at the WIKI page for the ROMS but that is more of a general overview than what I was looking for.
I realize I am what I am looking for is most likely a pipe dream but it can't hurt to ask and see if it exists. Oh and sorry in advance if this exists and I just missed it!
Thanks for the help and replies
This will PROBABLY go in the General section, but I could see why you posted it here
To my knowledge no such list exists beyond word of mouth. You would have to compile such a list
Basically you are going to have to read the threads of each Rom to see the differences. Someone here did create a website comparing Roms just like you are wanting. They also did the same thing with kernels. I am not sure if he is still updating the website, but the link to it is somewhere here. I believe it is in the Q&A section. If I find the link I will come back and post it here. This should have been posted in Q&A or general, but no big deal. Some people will think it's a big deal, but really it is an honest mistake.
I found this. It is a few video reviews of some of the more popular Roms here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841416
OK. Here is the link to the thread that will link you to skydeaner's website with reviews of Rom's, Kernel's and apps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790559
Well MIUI (iPhone wanna be) is completely different than anything out there. All other ROM's would be pretty similar, besides CM that doesn't use Sense and one of the best Sense ROM's out there, Warm. Just try each one and see how you like it.
OMG that explains why I dislike MUIU.

Thanks for this, this is very helpful, especially the second link, its a nice consolidation of everything, plus the star ratings help to.
As for putting this in the wrong spot, thanks for not being to tough on me, I couldn't decide since it was a ROM question but not a ROM specific question I figured it could go into multiple places.
For the preference I do like sense but I also like the non-sense roms, I wish i had the technical know how to build one that would be perfect for me, but alas I may be a geek I am not a code-writing/understanding geek. MIUI seems to have really gone a unique direction, that's why i think I am drawn to it but I did try CM last night and it has some nice features as well. And Koni's ROM is outstanding. I need to hit the lottery, then I will just buy enough EVO's to have a different ROM on each one. Damn all these good ROMS.
Thanks for the help again, i do appreciate it!!

In fairness, the statement "Well MIUI (iPhone wanna be) is completely different than anything out there. All other ROM's would be pretty similar, besides CM that doesn't use Sense and one of the best Sense ROM's out there, Warm. Just try each one and see how you like it." is just as ignorant if not MORE lol
ROMs are VERY different. Screenshots of the homescreen don't tell the whole story
Tis true. I haven't even tried then all yet, though I try
Cooler than your EVO

it also depends on your device and how you have it set up on how good your battery life is. each rom run's different on each phone and so does each kernel.Because if one kernel is great for you it might be a bad one for me or someone else.Just like a rom if one is great for you it might be bad for me or someone else.
With a lot of them as far as Sense roms go, it's mainly a difference in looks. CM is asop based, I assume muiu is asop based somewhere maybe, but totally revamped UI. I like CM7 the most personally, Sense looks okay but to me it became annoying after awhile.
Why do people seem to be so sensitive in this forum? Can't someone post a comment about how they feel about something, like say a ROM or a Kernel, without 20 people jumping down his/her throat. Relax people, it's just an opinion. They aren't talking smack about your mom or your family, so chill out a bit and let people express their thoughts without getting all up in arms. Jeez...

The first post after OP already beat us to the punch, but he/she added a few smilies so it didn't seem like trolling.
Also, while the title of the thread could have been better, I will agree that posting this here really isn't that big of a deal as compared to other threads that are just blatant ignorance.
Here is why:
OP clearly stated the unsureness of where to post. OP clearly seems to have done some research. There is a sticky up top with ROM info that *can* be used as somewhat of a comparison, but it really seems to be lacking. The post really seems to have pointed out a weak spot, and there was some decent discussion about it.

There seem to be so many variables which affect comparisons between ROMS that any single summary would probably not be accurate for lots of people. For one, your EVO behaviour with any ROM, from what I have read and personally experienced, can be dramatically influenced by your hardware version.
Some EVOs don't like undervolting or overclocking as much as others so you may find a ROM/Kernel combination totally unstable while others quote it as rock solid.
I also have different experience with the same ROMS depending on whether I wipe/flash with CW or Amon recovery (Amon is much better IMHO).
I am trying to do everything at once with my phone... Primary internet connection at home, business phone (can phone and hotspot at the same time on 4G) and use navigation a lot etc...
So far I usually end up running into random rebooting with any dev. ROM and have to wipe/reflash to get better again.. Again, this may be a quirk with my phone...
Best advice is to try them all and see what works best for you... One improvement to the ROM Wiki could be to add info on what works and what doesn't for each ROM. For instance no 4G or no GPS for any ROM would be a deal breaker for me.

Good to see developers working together and help change the vibe...a thank you

Well I just wanted to day "Thank You" to all of the developers,themers,etc. It seems like lately people in this community are really sharing info without problem. Now, maybe that's always been the case but its being seen in the threads more. There have been some great ROMs, kernels, mods, themes,etc. coming out lately. It seemed like we hit a wall after Dk28 but now there seems to be something new and spectacular every day. Keep up the fantastic work and delivering on the greatness.
Now, on to those who post. Thanks to those who take the time to help answer questions, post a link, or even better a zip. I am sure it gets frusterating to the XDA All Stars when the Rookies don't know all the rules. Its easy to say go back and read but sometimes threads are 1000 pages and Search sends you all over the place. If you take the time to actually post the answer instead of posting to read the last 42 pages itss been said, it may actually help you. One day you may have a question ar be looking for a file or zip and instead of someone telling you to hit "Search", they may just post it for you right there. Not everyone knows every XDA forum rules...but everybody learns and I am sure XDA doesn't want people being chased off by someone snapping on/flaming them for not knowing a rule. It may be their 1st or 2nd time here.
In closing, I have noticed and overall better attitude/vibe among not only developers but those of us who just post as well. Things seemed to be dying for a little while and now there a great ROM, Theme, or Tweak on here every day or two. So, the future looks bright! Thanks to those who develop,theme, make mods, are testers and to the helpful question answerers. This is actually a pleasant forum to come to now. Of course the trolls are another story altogether.thanks for taking the time to read is, I just felt it was necessary. Too much hotness being released lately.

There really is no reason to beat on people like this..I understand there is another thread that explains this but not everyone is as savvy as the next person and we are supposed to be a friendly community. All i have to say is lets be civil, everyone is excited to get ICS up and running, it is a huge improvement and will hopefully bring some performance improvements to our Xooms, which we are all here to talk about (all though I think the HC to ICS jump is much less then the GB to ICS) Ok thats all I have to say lets be nice.
Just wanna the ICS in my Xoom!

I don't see the rush to get ICS on the Xoom... The difference between HC and ICS isn't enough to warrant immediate installation for me. I'll be happy when a dev finally does it, but until then, we still have good old Honeycomb, so let's count our blessings, eh?

For one thing, because it's the latest version of Android, and there may be fixes for things that are broken 'Good old Honeycomb'. We all want to have the latest thing on our devices, and we don't necessarily want to wait on VZW to test and approve it.
For another thing, we want this because it's actually open source, unlike Honeycomb. Since the source code for HC was unavailable, there was only so much the devs could do as far as making a ROM that was as feature rich as what they would like to offer to the community. Having the code laid out bare allows them to do cool stuff that we all benefit from.
Also, that XDA Noob video was awesome.
And let's not get lost in the fact that honeycomb ain't that great.
Saw ICS on workmates mobile today... It's a HUGE step up!

TEAM D.I.R.T RemICS-UX General Discussion/Chat

Starting this because no one has yet
Also to keep the development thread for this rom clear from non development tomfoolleries
Let me start of by saying this has to be the cleanest and most rock stable ICS rom for the OG EVO. My opinion of course :good:
I second ur opinion. This is/has been my go to rom since it was released by TEAM DIRT. Fantastic job guys.
sent using a freaking pigeon, with a note tied to its leg.
WOOT WOOT!!! Glad someone started this
Just want to say that I've been talking to Team RemICS (people who made RemICS-UX) and they're currently working on what they're calling RemICS-JB.......once they get it ready and we get a stable enough JB base, I'll port it over and we can enjoy it!
NOW let's get the discussion started!!!

Sheeeeit, really? I'm stoked. As soon as someone figures out how to fix the camera we'll all have JB for good! Haha. Then google will send an OTA update the next day.
A friend of mine just got the SG3 and it was pretty funny to see his reaction to my phone. Mainly because he just upgraded from an EVO and knows nothing about rooting, roms, or modding.
MIND BLOWN!
Oh, FFS, is it REALLY necessary to have two threads for every ROM now?
Good grief!
Been my daily since the day 1.3 dropped.
*Sidenote* Has anyone seen this "Walkman" Clone app for other ICS ROMs?

Seen it. But you can always just pull the .apk from this if you wish to apply it to another rom

That's correct BUT don't forget to push libalbumframework.so to the system/lib folder too or else you'll get a FC or it might not even show up in the app drawer

To answer your question Hipkat if wish to call it that, this thread is for day to day discussions such as talking about the ROM in general....sharing screenshots, comparing setups, battery life...things like that! The ROM thread is for actual development! YES it may have a post or two that someone decides to post on there that isn't 100 percent related to development BUT it helps the problem of having a 200 page thread with about 50 pages of "check my screenshots yo" or "what kernels do you guys think I should use"
If you have a big issue with this or you're just mad because you didn't come up with it first, hit that triangle and tell the moderators how I'm such an EVVVIILLL guy and I need to be put in my place before I take over the world!!

apparently so based on the multitude of non rom related questions and comments. I think it's a great idea. I'm glad I thought of it. Thank me very much. Lol!

I really wish Touchwiz still had the option to do the Holo style app folders stacking. I know there are other launcher options but I really like the Touchwiz UI.
I touch wizz all over that ui.

Mazda this has been a rom I've stick with now for quite some time. Its also the daily on my wifes evo. Which is strange cause I used to flash about 2 diff roms a day.
Anyways...can we expect any more development with this? Not sure what else you could do, its pretty much great as it sits....but is v1.3.1 pretty much final?
I'd like to see Google now, now with the working voice incorporated in...maybe Google ears as well...just trying to throw some ideas out there.

NO v1.3.1 isn't the final.......I'm working on CM10 and also waiting to see what Team RemICS does here in the next few days and I might incorporate some new features, just depends on which way they're headed and how much time I got
Thanks for throwing out ideas, I like ideas..hahahhaa
I use to like this rom on my evo, then I got a sg2 and I hate tw(idky).
But still, a great job on it Mazda and team dirt.

I cleaned up thread. I suggest everyone act like an adult or next time infractions will be handed out.
This thread was created to keep chitchat, q&a, screenshots, and anything non development related but still remics related into one place.
Lets keep it that way.
