My First impressions with XXLPB - Galaxy S II General

• For noobs. For Gods sake don't include CM or else stuffs here.
•• Thanks xethor first for his/her thread on the same ROM.
My previous testing was with XXLP6, which is here,

Q- How to restore Nandroid backup taken with a kernel but not CF?
A-
Simple. Flash that kernel (Siyah for example) in Recovery (Hope you're already rooted with CF LP6 kernel) >> DO NOT reboot system, but reboot in recovery >> You'll have Siyah recovery now, simply Advanced restore Data, wait till it restores >> Again, DO NOT reboot device >> Power it off >> Go to Download Mode and connect the device with Odin in PC >> Flash the CF LP6 kernel >> DONE.

Well maybe I did it the hard way, cause I am a noob, you know a better method? Please do that and ignore whatever I've said.
A special thanks to bala_gamer for mentioning the above process, all credit goes only to him.
• As always the first thing I did was checking if the phone calls were great or not, and as usual there is no problem. Earpiece, loudspeaker volume in call was great. NR is present as it was.
• No problem with Vibration intensity, it's as strong as in GB.
• Same incoming call UI, Answer/Reject sliders don't slide, now I am starting to believe that this is the way it is, well I will be very disappointed then, I don't like non slider Answer/Reject options, no one does I guess.
• 480x800 Wallpapers back on working on Stock TW launcher.
• Market is working fine, downloading works same as before.
• Face Unlock works
• FM Radio back and working again.
• Swype is same 3.26.92. The default KB is same QWERTZ as previous LP6.
• GPS locks is fine in GMaps. Satellites locking are good too with GPS Status and Toolbox. So I can say GPS completely works here.

• Camera & Video Recording works, it always did.
• WiFi, Bluetooth works.. Sorry can't comment on Data/GPRS as the APN's were lost.
• Network Mode option is BACK and you can alter between networks(2G/Auto) as before.
• 1080P FLV Video played very smoothly with Stock Video player.
• 1080P YouTube videos played smoothly as well.
• Same Stock Email UI, I love it. Gray background is nice.
• Deep Sleep does work.
• Connection with PC worked as usual.
• Stock browser is great, smooth and all positive. I like it more than my gf now (Hope she ain't reading this)
• [NEW]The WiFi icon on status bar has a green/orange upload/download notification as well, same like in H+/3G, nice.
• [NEW]The update/download notification of apps are now have a big white icon in status bar.
• Same annoying and weird ICS lockscreen animation.
• Haptic feedback does work. Make sure you've enabled 'Vibrate on touch' option under /Settings/System. The touch lights do glow as well.
• New 3D sorta view in TW launcher, yes when you're switching between home screens you'll notice it but the loop feature is disabled both in home screen and app drawer, which is a big drawback for the TW users I am sure, I don't bother it as I am a Go Launcher user.
• The overscroll glow color is changed from Sky blue to GB Blue and the effect is very minimum than before.
• Settings icon is changed as it is/was in GB, don't know why am I even mentioning it.
• Battery life is good I'd say. Not paranoid anymore about it though
• The touch response and smoothness of the ROM is pretty good so far. No hang or FC yet, however device did reboot once in this period of an hour.
Browser benchmark and tab:
••• Conclusion:
Far better than previous LP6 and definitely a keeper.
***Points will be added as I get used with this ROM later ***

The first page of this forum has six, yes six, ICS threads, of which five are about this ROM. Since my attempt to have his last spammy thread closed was rejected, I choose to express my disdain by voting 1-star.
Anyway, carry on, having discussion about a ROM in five places in one forum is great.

yes but the OP always makes good threads from what i have been reading and gives good throughout reviews on each leak that gets released. Compare to the rest you say i would rate this one and the other one by Farayab.(hope i spell his name right) His is for all the leaks in one thread to be organized and this one gives his reviews and thoughts about the leak. So what is wrong with that? If you want to close other threads then close the other ones. For me this is a really good one and people should show some appreciation for the effort he puts in.

Ah so your the reason I had to waste my time contacting the admin to ask him to reopen this thread after the last release then.
I for one always look for this thread long before reading the others whenever a new rom is released. Its a useful "one stop shop" for all the relevant info about the rom. Thankfully the admin agreed and obliged my request.
So, to put it blunt, get off your high horse and stop being a prick. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean the rest of us agree with you.

If a moderator do not see this thread as spam, just shut up and live with it. Stop act like i spoiled child, report and wait. Theres no reason to rate as 1 star.
Anyway, as always the best review so far, thx OP.

Thanks once again my friend....

Haters gonna hate.
So just to clarify, you think it's sensible to have five places for information about one ROM? Of course you don't have to agree with me, and clearly the mods don't either, which at the end of the day is all that matters. That's why I expressed by disdain by voting one-star instead of reporting the thread. I only posted here at all because someone complained about the thread being given a low rating, and I felt the need to justify why.
Also, I wasn't actually the cause of his other thread being closed, if you read my post, I said my request was rejected.
Anyway, intermission over. As you were.
P.S. The name-calling is awesome.

haptic feedback works here, in softkeys and in keyboard also, not strong at all but there is...
my issue is that i can't accept the "software update" disclaimer...any solution? freeze the process through titanium backup? tell me if you have a less invasive solution

You can simply disable the software update from settings => Apps => All.
One more thing you can disable any stock softwares* if you don't want..
This is feature available only on ICS , its not require root access

Exchange 2010 does not work here.. anybody with the same issues ?

your posts are about the only ones i care about when new ICS leaks arrive. saves me the time of trying myself. although it seems the rom quality is getting at a point where i might give it a try...
thanks for your detailed reports, looking forward for the next one!

I see that they have removed the option where you can set the softkeys backlight to light up only in dark environments...was my favourite, the most efficient, i don't like the other solutions...
Another thing: in display settings - dynamic mode looks weird in this rom, try that, edges become fuzzy...was fine on GB and, again, was my favourite
Last note: touchscreen feels a bit less sensitive to me, sometimes it doesn't register my touches, anyone?

hi guys, lockscreen works with you? when i lock and unlock screen the lockscreen does not appear. and home button doesn t work. same feedback there?

Hey boys, girls and children. I'll do what the mods should be doing; please keep the posts on topic, specific to LPB. TIA!

Great summary at the beginning! I did a slightly less thorough quick test ...
A few extra points:
* "Software" update still cannot be set up - not a problem/surprise, but unlike the last build settings->apps->software->update is greyed out (also failed to disable with titanium)
* I've had one "system UI has stopped" - though I was doing a lot of things at once (setup)
* Settings->data usage now correctly breaks down by application
* All my apps (free and paid for) auto-restored from google
* The browser defaults to fixed (bright) brightness, not auto brightness (is this a change?)
* The contacts app has a new welcome screen reminding user to swipe right to make a call, left for a text

Thanks again for this thread dude

Thanks you. I love your detailed reviews!
I wish Samsung used the new gallery, not the 3D one.. The ics Galerie is so much better

ClickDot© - a new UI for Android (Update: 08/02)

Right. So, on request from a few users below, I shall be giving a very broad description of what clickDot is, and I shall be updating this post with details over the next few days.
Let me just state before I begin: I am not looking for any testers at the moment, so please, don't waste your time asking to test this. In time, I shall pick a handful of people to help me test parts of the program. Let me also ask that you guys do not ask for a release date - not even I know the release date yet, and I cannot commit to anything. I am a university student, hence I also have other priorities to see to. When I can work and update you guys, I will. Also, for those wanting to know what will be required to run this UI, you may take a look in the FAQ section once I've posted it.
So, back to the description. What I found in my personal experience is that, especially with typical home launchers like LancherPro, ADW, the original Android Launcher or anything of the sorts, is that information can become cluttered. You often need a single widget to display a certain piece of information, and for those who like to have multiple bits of information shown to them simultaneously, find themselves with cluttered home screens that have no consistent theme or look.
Where clickDot differs from most UI's is that it only shows the cluttered information on demand (Pictures will follow to illustrate the idea). The initial home screen of clickDot will only contain a simple bit of information in the center of the screen, mainly about your current surroundings, such as:
Current weather (pictures and possibly animations)
Current date and time
Current temperature
Moon phase (shown during night time)
Missed emails, sms' and calls
More to follow...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All of the above will be shown in a relative manner, that being all fitting into a set theme and look.
If you click on the center of the weather image (Better description and images to follow), a drastic change in the UI will occur. Everything mentioned above will scale away (disappear, with the exception of a few bits of information, mainly being time and date) and a circular disc will appear. The disc will be broken into segments that will contain links to certain other applications and sections of Android. So far, the list of applications that will be developed and built into the UI, are:
Facebook
Twitter
Phone
Messages
Email
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The idea of the disc is to give quick access to not only common applications, but information from these respective applications as well. If a segment is clicked, the disc is shrunk to a small circle with the icon of the selected program (hence the dot part of clickDot). The dot then moves to the bottom of the screen, and the respective application is displayed. Once again, images will eventually follow to make this easier to understand.
EDIT: I have not been able to finish a promo image of the launcher (time is really tight), but here are the weather images I have created so far. Some of them need work still, but this is what I have at the moment. During the day, the sun will always be displayed, and during the night, the moon will always be displayed (as the relevant phase). All other weather images will be layered on top to show the relevant weather. Here is the image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Well you've just created a thread to type "coming soon".
Just give us the basic things, then give the details later.
What is ClickDot ?
I like this thread. This guy is on the ball hes so ahead of the ball that the details are simply the details will be here soon. But on a seriously note it sounds interesting. I like the name.
"coming soon" threads are against the rules on xda, especially when they are lacking any details at all.
I would not be surprised if you find this thread locked soon.

Agreed!!!..
Thanks all for your 'kind comments'
The "coming soon" part of the thread was simply due to the fact that where I thought I had time to write up the post, I ended up being dragged off to other plans. That said, I shall have a meaningful post up in the next hour or two
I'm hoping you guys will enjoy it, and please, feel free to comment and provide input.
MrP.
EDIT: As requested, an initial post to briefly describe my idea. More detailed description to follow soon.
i am very intrigued to see what this has to offer, the name sounds cool
No offense, but i really wish developers would actually develop something before releasing info about it. It's getting very tiresome reading "coming soon!" threads. Most of the time the UI never actually gets completed.
Sounds like an interesting approach but I would need to be able to add sections and items to the DOT before I would be willing to adopt.
I pretty much try to organize my phone into the following categories.
Phone
Voicemail (I use Google Voice)
Email
Messaging
Location
Media
Internet
Social
App Launcher
Unfortunatly LP Pro only has 7 screens so I am up for a new UI that will allow me to do that.
Hope to see screens soon!
Although you do raise a good point, Meltus, which I've seen happen countless times, and although even me, as the developer cannot guarantee that this UI will be fully developed and released in good time, I have to point out one simple fact:
As a developer, I find constructive criticism and commentary on my work a blessing in disguise. If I incorporate the requests and criticism from the community as far as possible into my work, I will hence create a product that is attractive in the sense that it's close, if not exactly what the community wants. Developing the product first could mean a lot of work going back and redoing parts to overcome problems and/or highlight points that I have overlooked.
In my eyes, this is a community. No where in my thread title did I state that the UI has a guaranteed release, or a Beta available, or a release date already. It's simply a post describing my idea to allow the community a chance to input into it before I create a final product, which I would like to finally have.
On a side note, I think this "coming soon" story that was originally in my first post has gone too far. It's got nothing to do with the fact that I'm spamming or trying to build hype, it simply was due to the fact that I had to leave for uni earlier than expected, and could not finish what I was typing up. Hence, I posted "coming soon" instead, and when I got home after uni, updated the post with the finished details, which, isn't even complete yet. Just clearing that up.
@Asphyx - thanks for your input. I haven't given too much thought into the customizability yet of the circle/dot, but it is definitely on the to-do list. I feel the same as you - the user shouldn't adapt to the UI, but instead, the UI should adapt to the user. Let me see what ideas I can come up with, and I'll get back to you. So far, what I have in mind is that the circle/dot will be divided into 12 segments. I might have segments that cannot be changed and segments that can, or I might have them all editable. Where I do not have a separate application developed yet for, say, Media, it will launch the Android default. What I'm also planning on doing is creating a system where you can create as many home screens as need be that you can use to add widgets, and then create a link to these separate home screens in the circle/dot. For example, if you have widgets that you use to view Media information, you can create a panel that is called Media. You can add and edit the widgets on this panel, and you can access it by clicking a corresponding link in the circle/dot. That might appeal to those still wanting to use widgets.

Sorry, i didn't mean to question your ability or commitment to the project, i'm very aware that some projects just fall by the wayside every now and then and never get completed, which is no fault of anyone.
I fully agree with having community input, i just meant that maybe a photoshp "mock-up" or screenshot would help move things along tenfold.
That way the community can see what the final product may look like and can offer constructive criticism. Getting the code down is all well and good, but the aethestics are what makes a good UI amazing.
Writing what your app will include can be done by anyone (again, i'm not questioning your ability) but showing how these features will be implemented will get a lot of people interested.
@Meltus - Duly noted. Being a uni student, time is often not on my side, but I shall whip up something and hopefully have it up by tonight.
Thanks again for the input,
MrP.
I am really waiting for this!! Looking forward to see it soon!
I think if someone's screen is "all cluttered-up" it's their own fault. My Droid X has the home page and 3 screens to the left and 3 screens to the right. I'm assuming most Android devices are somewhat similar. If you've got those ALL filled, I would love to see some screen shots LOL. Only thing I don't like is not being able to set the icon spacing; I can only get 4 icons in a vertical column, it has room for 7.
Granted, this UI is intriguing and may prove interesting. It might be cool to have a UI with just ONE screen...this "dot" idea. I can see it as some type of "fanned" menu or a wheel you can spin to get to items. Like if you long press "Media" the wheel (or dot") can open up "News, My RSS feeds" etc.
Like platters of a disk drive..you see one "flat" wheel, but 20 more are underneath. Especially if you can "flick" the top "wheel", it folds in 1/2 and you see the wheel underneath and can spin it and so on for remaining wheels. Like a stack of CD's you buy...you can have hundreds of virtual wheels
This could get interesting.
Thanks Rootstonian for your comment.
I think you've described it the best so far - trying to incorporate as much of the UI into one screen as possible, and constantly change it according to what you're viewing.
To be honest, I didn't imply anything about multiple disc layers, but now that you've brought it up, I quite like the idea. I shall see what I can do about incorporating it into my design. It could really prove useful, especially for things like common settings (on/off switches).
Shall work on this and get back to you guys.

Gripes... ICS more like iOS?

Ok so I just switched from CM7 on wonderful Gingerbread, to this ICS gabbage since CM7 isn't supported anymore by atinm I figure I would switch....
Well what the freak... i'm just gonna make a small list and correct me if i'm wrong on any of this...
First off, why is it anytime I download anything from the market I automatically get a shortcut on my home screen. I'm sorry I have an app drawer, if I was dumb enough to want my screen to always look cluttered I would have bought an IPhone to begin with.
Second, whats with the widgets now... They are joking right? What was wrong with holding down the home screen... It was more simple... Now I go into my apps and see there is a danged column for widgets. Stupid or what?
Third is messaging... At least in gingerbread I could change the background between black and white. Now it's blistering killer white.. Who said everyone likes white!?!?! Must be an apple thing.
Fourth.. I cannot, cannot cannot seem to get rid of the Google Search bar at the top of my main page. WTF I don't want want you there, go away!!!
To me it seems like ICS is trying to be something like Apple... Why I don't know, and I don't like it... but at least the GPS locks in a second or two everytime...
sir, i will say this once. and once only.
use the search button.
1st off, there's a option in the market to stop the shortcuts from happening.
second, just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean others don't either. I LOVE it. and i'm sure theres more that like it than there is that don't.
thirdly, You're on android go find yourself another messaging app if you don't like the default.
fourth, Not sure if it still works but settings>apps>google search> disable should do it.
1. There's an option in the android market for the new apps installed not to go to your home screen.
2. The only way to solve this is to use a 3rd party launcher.
3. I really don't know what to tell you here... Try another messaging app?
4. In the preferences, there's an option so the Google search will not be on your home screen.
Well jwleonhart,
It's more of your poor piss attitude, calling ICS garbage and other stuff like that.
But seriously, if you searched any ICS topic, you would have found that messaging app, you would have found out how to disable the google search bar, and you would have found out about another ICS launcher named Nova that has the hold for widgets feature.
Ever heard the phrase if you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all... Keep it to yourself bro.

Ever heard of hypocrisy, which is exactly what you are doing right now. If you have nothing nice to say, then don't start a thread calling ICS GARBAGE. Also, in a thread about how great our SuperAmoled screen is you call it sucky compared to other phones. Does not sound like that is particularly nice.
Seriously, xrider66 is much more right in his rant than you are.
This thread is the best.
I dont like a lot of things about ICS either, but what the hell does anyone give a damn about my opinion. A lot of people fail to realize that what THEY think, is not what EVERYONE thinks.
This is funny ----->

So to snowball off of this point of yours, who said everyone likes inverted?? ignorant.
OS features/framework are calculated, and at least attempted to be based on majority appeal. why the hell would they release something that nobody likes? the reality is, they cant make everybody happy, all they can do is try to make as many people happy as possible.
Google didn't become a powerhouse by accident.
your OP sucks, it can pretty much be simplified down to "wahh wahhwahh wahhhh...fix everything for me and tailor everything to my liking!". YOUR type of attitude is the type that has trashed the Vibrant forum, and is precisely why devs HATE us. Youre the type who jumps into a ROM thread and says something like "can you please make the notification text yellow, it would go better with my theme. also, my phone is laggy, can you please fix this?"
if you dont like something, dont use it. i flashed ICS this morning, gave it a fair shot, its not up to my personal standards so i reverted. wow, that was hard.

You sir are an ^ss.
Instead of asking for a solution to the things you prefer different, you call ICS garbage and ***** and moan and rant.
All four things you listed have ways to make ICS the way you *****ed about wanting but you could not take the time to look.
If you can't be polite in your OP do not expect anyone to be polite to you.
May a thousand camel fleas descend upon you.
haha.. no one should have helped him in the first place because of his whining but calling him out is acceptable.
seems the tables have turned hmm?

Its "gabbage." (Garbage? Cabbage? A mix of the two?) I can't help but read the rest of the OP with a thick Boston accent.
All your inquiries have been answered there OP with the acception of the mms apk, unless I missed that response.. And if you go dig around the nexus s forums, you will find an inverted mms apk for ICS that works beautifully.

For a few things I did search for the shortcut to the market and didn't find anything until the answer here.
Second, i'm simply asking a question and seeing how other people feel on that subject also. I've seen Nova and I just am at a loss personally and from what a few others have said, why the widgets would be squashed in with the apps, this isn't really a tablet..
I was A) looking for answers to my questions, and B)looking to see how others felt.
I didn't come on here to go "Whaa whaa" either, i'm simply stating things I see..
Who said everyone wants a black MMS? Nobody said that... but who said everyone wants white!?!? At least with Gingerbread there was the OPTION to change it, why not KEEP that option instead of DO AWAY WITH IT? I do kinda have a point there right? They deleted a feature instead of adding one in that sense.
If this whole thread is gonna turn into an arguement it may be better that this thread just be closed... Children run around on this forum all too much. Everyone has to open their mouths and turn a topix into an arguement.
And I said our AMOLED screen is outdated and old compared to newer phones. It is, it's old... face a fact.

Well jwleonhart,
It's more of your poor piss attitude, calling ICS garbage and other stuff like that.
But seriously, if you searched any ICS topic, you would have found that messaging app, you would have found out how to disable the google search bar, and you would have found out about another ICS launcher named Nova that has the hold for widgets feature.
Ever heard of hypocrisy, which is exactly what you are doing right now. If you have nothing nice to say, then don't start a thread calling ICS GARBAGE. Also, in a thread about how great our SuperAmoled screen is you call it sucky compared to other phones. Does not sound like that is particularly nice.
Seriously, xrider66 is much more right in his rant than you are.

(ROM) Abridged for Music

Preeminently, I have always wanted to contribute to the Eris community. This is my first rom, although don't assume I'm adept at this specific criteria. It is based off CyanogenMod, without it this would have never happened. From what I recall, there was a thread that stated a rom should be made for the Eris as music player.
Hence I felt I should contribute since I had leisure time. So I removed all the applications that would intrude to make the Eris a pure mp3 player.
I bring to you the Abridged Rom.
I removed vexing signal bars in the status bar.
It is ICS themed.
Holo launcher, which is surreal to the ICS launcher.
Holo locker, it is relevant to Jelly Bean lock screen.
Battery script by Decad3nce = XDA. To activate, go to Terminal Emulator, type su for superuser permission; then type batt-cfg.
To make the launcher load smoother, press "Menu" then "Launcher Settings", go to "Desktop Settings" then tick "Wallpaper Scrolling" off.
If the Android lock screen intercedes with the Holo Locker application, got to Holo Locker then turn it "off" then "on".
Got the keyboard to work, just got to Settings>Language & Keyboard> Select Language> (choose) English (United States). That's if you prefer that language.
(Latest release, in the Beats column)

Okay, for some peculiar and vague reason 2shared thrashed my links, they do not work. I have deleted those builds, I have no idea why. Though I have preserved some not all. (I feel ashamed). I will upload them in my Skydrive, thus never having to worry about anything being deleted or any obstructions.

Newest is called HTC Eris Beats 11, I presume, enjoy.
(Now I come to realize that once you sign into Google Play, force closes will concur. Unfortunately up until now I could not fix, it could be evaded by not registering Google Play or if you have registered already then just disable sync in "Settings>Accounts&Sync" I apologize for any inconvenience "
No need to flash gapps.
Just wipe dalvik x3 then wipe data.
Then flash.

Update!
cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-desirec, enjoy
Updated the market once again; and a few minor tweaks as well.
Same concept as the predating release.
Enjoy.
Beats column just a modification in the system to have better sound, discrepant from the original Abridged Rom; same base, everything. Just the Beats Audio is irrelevant to the initial.
(MOD)Beats Audio(2.3+up) by RockoDev; credit to him. It was referred by Izeltokatl, thanks.

Just give me a little bit since I accidentally ran the battery into the ground. I want to give it enough charge so it doesn't die half way through boot.
Just giving it a little break in. Not bad.
Although, I seem to have created a slight issue here, where I doubled the lockscreens.

I'm assuming the ICS themed lockscreen runs independently of the normal lockscreens?
EDIT: I figured it out. I missed a line about Holo locker in your instructions.

Actually, this might be a ROM that sticks around on mine for awhile. I do like how you stripped most of the phone functionality out so I don't have all that additional clutter (and possibly saving RAM? I haven't really investigated that). But hey for your first ROM, this seems to working pretty well.

From what I see it does save RAM, which is crucially vital to the Eris, not only that battery durability excrescences dramatically. Which is very desirable for anyone.
I am the guy that wanted a ROM that turned the Eris into a music player. Having attempted to use TheMP3Rom, and found that it doesn't work, I am glad you made this. I am downloading it and trying it now. You have my thanks for making this happen, and I hope that the development cycle on this lasts a while, because even just the thread on that other rom is dead.
Just to clarify, that command for the battery script is "su batt-cfg" and not "su" followed by "batt-cfg" right?
Also, LOVE the boot animation. Best one I've seen. Also also, what version of CM is it based on?
Oh, one more to try on my trusty eris. I should find the beats hacks and post here, would make a fine addition to this Rom. It should work as its generic enough to work on my touchpad.

i decided to break out the old eris to use as a spare TiVo remote around the house, and i stumble across this! great job, this is exactly what i needed to bring the eris back into rotation.
certain apps don't seem to be getting proper root access or working with superuser correctly. i don't expect to use the phone for anything other than as a TiVo remote, occasional music player, and spontaneous google searches, so i won't be using many apps that NEED root access... but that's the only "issue" i've come across. great work!

Sorry for my insouciance to not get on XDA; thanks for the response and my apologies for not remembering your name.
The script is "su" for superuser permission then "batt-cfg" to execute it.
About to release an update, but this version I assume it is cm-7-20120722-NIGHTLY-desirec.
Furthermore, this will get updates, not to worry.
This is what I used on my touchpad, with cm9.

I'm sorry if I intruded with your conversation with Super_Dork_42; this seems very nice. Not only that, as your predating statement, that this would be a great appendage to this rom; I might implement this . Also, thanks for your cooperation in introducing this. :highfive:
My Tracks
Thanks, Spartan, for a great little ROM! I just pulled the Eris out hoping to revive it as a companion for my bike. Works great for music - sleek & fast - however something is blocking Goggle My Tracks from installing. Not sure what it is...it installs on other GB ROMs. I tried both installing from the market (the app doesn't show up), and by sideloading the APK. No dice. Any help appreciated.

Those mods are for CM9 so you'll have to make the next one CM9 based if that's possible in order to use them.
As far as I recall, one link provided for CM9 and the other for 2.3 and further.

Some few TIPS & ADVICE
For the Best performance :good:
CPU settings

- Max CPU frequency "Set it as 710 MHz
- Set on boot!
Restores CPU settings on boot :good:

For Holo Launcher ---My Preferances---​Hey guys these are my Holo preferences so Feel free to use! Remember to thank me though!
Holo Launcher Desktop settings - BACKUP-
Holo Launcher settings -Backup-
Warning: So after you've downloaded these, make sure you have Holo Launcher folder with the Backups!
Replace those with UltraBeam GB files ​
I've been using V0.4 for some days, it's really good.
Stable and fast. No bugs found,
I have rarely a bit of lag with incoming calls, the screen seems to freeze for a while but I solved
enablng "answer with trackball". I just stopped the slide to answer at all.
Tapping the trackball is faster and the phone reacts immediately.
Waiting to try V5, to see if you really will be able to do even better!
Thanks
You already have a thread in the general section why not just use that as a main/Q&A/Non-dev/"Fans" thread. Not wanting to provoke you but I don't see many more fans appearing as wildfire is barely active and will most likely be in the "low end device" category soon
Instead of having a fans thread why not just add a "Hit thanks or donate to me if you like my work and want to see more" at the top of your thread instead of promoting Off-topic and general discussion which is bound to end in someone Losing their cool or raging/trolls and the thread being locked and infractions being handed out by mods

I have flashed V5 as soon as you uploaded it.
It rocks!
I think that Holo Launcher is the best choiìce.
Thanks to Titanium Backup I managed to import all my apps, data and settings with no hassle.
I had to fight a little bit when flashing because I messed up my MTD Partitions settings (I want to spill every single bit of free memory).
When I started from scratch flashing clean CWM 4014, MTD Recovery, Ultrabeam, Gapps and MTD Boot everything went fine.
Thanks a lot for your work.

No, I use the sense version. It has some bugs but for me it is acceptable (you wont find a perfect asop).
I just had one bug where I needed to take out battery (I could not unlock the screen although phone was still alive).
I installed this with the flashtool. It seems okay, and the interface (bog-standard Android?) is more familiar (to me at least) than the Miui interface.
Problems so far:
* seems not to support 5G WiFi (the Xiaomi ROMs support 5G WiFi) [Edit: miraculously, 5G WiFi is now working! ]
* battery percentage not shown
* can't see the patterns that you are drawing, if you are trying to protect the lock screen with a pattern
* my antivirus program doesn't like any of the themes apks that the Theme Manager is downloading (perhaps these are false positives - but I happen to trust my antivirus program)

What kind of screen on time are you getting? On the AOSP ROMs I struggle to hit 2 hours and day of use so i went back to MIUI.

can't see the patterns that you are drawing, if you are trying to protect the lock screen with a pattern

Yes, pattern unlock is a bit tricky, you need to draw an invisible pattern before Smart Lock becomes available. Then there is an option to make the pattern visible. Maybe proceed with caution

Here are excerpts from comments I posted about the rom in another forum:
"A couple of days ago, I noticed the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Cinafoniaci AOSP Rom on Needrom. It took my interest because the creator, Simone Quarrera is also the developer of Space MTK Tool [project to update MTK Droid Tools for 64 bit devices].
I have been using the rom for a day plus & so far it is excellent. I am most impressed that the latest version of Xposed Installer ran immediately without issue. Last week, I tried AOSP Rom V3 by MD Steam, but Xposed wouldn't work, so I quickly abandoned it. I was resigned to staying with Miui & waiting for WSM Tools [Xposed alternative] to be updated to Miui 7. But now, I am happy to be back in familiar aosp territory. I like some things about Miui, e.g. beautiful themes and the stock apps, camera, compass & browser [smooth flash player]. I have made a custom backup of my last miui rom, so can go back & compare some time.
On first boot, the rom gives the option of retaining apps & settings from the previously installed rom. I didn't choose this option, preferring Titanium Backup to set up. Here are some features of the rom:
Material TWRP 2.8.7
Mobile Space Tool – includes Xposed, SuperSU, ADBD Insecure, Eng. Mode, Cpu Freq, Viper4 Android FX, Custom Themes
Stock Launcher is similar to Nova/Apex but with less options & can be coupled with the rom's themes
Miravision & ClearMotion
OTA updates – work in progress, I think
Notification leds working, but are not included in System Settings. A third party app is necessary. I am using Light Manager.
Battery life seems similar to Miui 7. Here is a screenshot of screen on time with battery at 57%:"

Thanks. But IMHO, that is a bug.

I think the developer will appreciate any feedback on bugs. Probably, the best place for this is Needrom [unless you're able to post in the Italian forum].
By the way, I don't use a screen lock, so pattern unlock is not an issue for me....
I am really happy with this rom & will likely stay with it. When I have time, I will under clock to see if battery life is extended. On miui 7 v. 5.11.1, I under clocked to 1.625 Ghz as the phone felt hot in the hand [I live in a hot climate]. I was surprised to see that on screen time life extended way beyond 6 hours [note: not 'normal' conditions, i.e. at home, wifi on, mobile data/gps/bluetooth disabled; ds battery saver to limit wake locks ]. Under clocked, the PC Mark Battery Life Test result was 6 hours 56 minutes [average for RN2 is 6 hours 4 minutes]. For me, under clocking didn't affect performance on the miui rom. Edit: Under clocked to 1.625 ghz → some lag in task switching/opening apps, no improvement in battery life.
@kusala thank you so much for your review
I was thinking about trying aosp too, mainly because of xposed and because some things of miui need to be improved yet in my opinion
However I need to decide between this and delirium proyect, maybe I'll try both. Did you try that one?
On the other hand, just for curious why are you so xposed dependant? Which modules do you need more?
And...anyone has a reliable zip for recovery of cinafoniaci?
Thanks

I haven't tried Delirium. The reason I flashed the Cinafoniaci rom is because I have seen other work by the developer & have confidence in his ability. If you contact Simone via Needrom with a request for a custom zipped rom, he may be able to help. I made a custom backup of my last miui rom, so wasn't concerned about using sp flash tool.
Re xposed, I currently have 13 modules installed. The ones most useful are Gravity Box [so many options], RecentApp Clear [improves recent apps in the Cina rom], Fix Lollipop Memory Leak, YouTube AdaAway & Xposed Torch [vol up activates torch when screen off].

No, I use the sense version. It has some bugs but for me it is acceptable (you wont find a perfect asop).
I just had one bug where I needed to take out battery (I could not unlock the screen although phone was still alive).

I'm having a hard time to choose between Sense7 or Hybrid.. Have you tried both ROMs? IF so, which did you like most?
