Hello, I just have a suggestion for any of the phenomenal developers we have for the Epic 4g. I currently just flashed CM7 (stock>SRF>ACS ICS>CM7) and am definitely liking it A LOT lol! (now on nightly 11 to be precise). My sincere apologies if this has already been suggested, I hadn't seen this one yet and I do read the forums a lot. (Long time reader, first time poster!!)
So.... I know there is a lot of comments on the funky purple 90% battery charging notification light. Here's my two cents:
If the light is blue when it's fully charged (like on stock) and red when charging (also stock)... how perfect would it be to have the red charging notification light on CM7, then transition to purple at 90% charged, and then to blue at fully charged???
What do you guys think??!!?!
[EDIT] Wow I sound like a dork haha. "first time poster!!!" FTW haha!
I like that suggestion. But I don't have any issues with the charging light as-is, either. I'm gonna take a SWAG * and say that I doubt the devs will implement this, and I really doubt that one of 'em will jump in here and say "Golly, this sounds like a swell idea, jones75534! Consider it done!" But if I'm wrong (on either count, or even close), I think it'd be a neat little feature. I'll cross my fingers for ya!
* Sniper-talk for "Scientific Wild-Ass Guess." I was watching the History Channel earlier.
I guess a purple light every morning doesn't bother me, and why should it? Who gives a rats arse. How about the choppy video recording and uber slow web browsing? Those are bigger things for our sweet devs to tackle.

Completely agree (except get rid of the pink all together. Looks like a bug and unprofessional). I am aware, though, that cm7 works different when it comes to when the LED lights up, and what you and I want is more of want Samsung does on TouchWiz. And to be honest, I think that's better. It charges when red, full when blue. Simple.

Haha, good call my friend. You're probably right! In retrospect, probably should've directed the suggestion more towards custom MTD roms as opposed to official CM7.

I completely agree with you on the video recording. I actually have that issue too, its one of only 2 I issues I currently have with the rom. I just noticed that this had been discussed quite a bit and so I assumed it didn't warrant mentioning in this post.
My post was just an aesethetic suggestion on a ROM that is near flawless.

BTW, have you checked out Deca's thread on this yet?
I like these ideas. I say someone dev some mods for CM7. Not everybody likes CM7's defaults just like not everyone likes Samsung's defaults. I'm not saying push this into the CM7 tree but instead release some mods that are 3rd party unsupported. How about haptic feedback on our menu, home, back and search keys?

Basically just a heads up, with Taboonay, performance wise it was good despite being a stock kernel (that's how much an improvement ICS is over HC) however, the damn thing was eating through my battery. In the course of 12 hrs, my tab was dead... while on standby ???? Checked the battery usage history and nothing stood out. Im thinking my WIFI never turned off even in standby because as i sent and recieved IMs my IM app on the tab was chiming as well while i was on the desktop.
Switched to Lightspeed, significantly better, 1 hr use per day over 2 days still on 62% battery. Dunno if it was an app or the IM app for sure. Overall, its a much cleaner, slicker rom, however the OOB exp is disabled so if you were hoping to run the setup wizard, put in your Google account and just have it pull in all your apps and settings automatically, sorry, no beans, you have to manually do all of that by hand which is annoying.
Other than that, Lightspeed ICS is a huge WIN!!
If the ICS Lightspeed Dev runs across this post, please re enable the OOB for ICS so i can just pop in my G account and have it set it up for me. Tks all!
----------------------
PS I did install ICS Flexreaper and Icylicious and they ran fine but after 5 mins tapping around i didn't like how they looked. It looked like a 5 year old customised them and the "eye candy" was atrocious :S
No offense to the devs, they just didn't suit my taste. I actually like the default Holo UI in ICS and I also did in HC (preferred the old font from HC too, but Roboto is good too)
To those (clarification... other devs out there, my bad) devs, please take some time and seriously consider you choice of apps and themes please!!
Thanks for all your hard work, it is most highly appreciated.

Only thing changed in flexreaper is soft touch (home, back, menu )buttons with mirror effect.
The ring you can flash to stock look.
Yes you have a right of your own opinion . So do I.
I like that you piss on me and then say "don't be offended blablablabla".
About battery life, if you would be as smart that you think you are, you would know it takes a few full recharges before battery settles. If that doesn't work wiping battery stats will make a big difference.
So let me explain like a 5 year old ,
You big man go to cwm ( clockwork mod) ,blablablabla.....
You want stock icons, you open systemUI.apk with blablabala.
You should be able do make full rom now.
But please big man don't be offended we do this for users like you.
A nice pm with question to have stock buttons would have been more respectfully.
But I don't expect that from a 3 year old , my little boy of 2 got more sense and respect then you.

Man...that statement right there is garbage to me...
The generation of entitlement.
Xda provides a free forum to use. Devs put in may many many hours and allow us to use their roms for free... Tell me who gave him the right to come on here call some else's work atrocious?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
I didn't use titanium. I have all my files on a external SD card. All i ever have to do with a Droid reinstall is app installs and the OOBE handled that for me before quite nicely.
I said the EYECANDY was atrocious. Not the whole rom...
Wrap ur head around it. Its like you built a car and i said i didnt like the colour you painted it in. I have every right to comment on what i think of their customisations especially if its true. I like the under the hood work and i pointed out where taboonay needs some work, but what i didnt like i said.
I did my fair share of customisation and skins back in the XP days and got pretty heavily criticised myself. I stopped skinning with Vista and 7 because to me the UI was "good enough". The same with ICS. The UI is good enough so i PREFER roms with few UI customisations. That doesnt mean i think they're bad.
Have you seen the collective's ROM? Its gorgeous!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439351
But that's just MY OPINION. Others may or may not share it. Just swallow it and move on.
If you have a problem with that then go take a time out and come back when ur ready to act like a grown up instead of a little kid who hates being criticised and judged.
Tried the battery wipe with taboonay, didn't work.
Right after Lightspeed, it did not give any problems at all.
The mirrored buttons was the thing i hated the most on civatoflexreaper. and prbably the only thing, that said i didn't know how to change it and am reaching a point in my life where i'm tired of messing with stuff. I just wanted a clean working ICS ROM.
I was making a general comment to the devs as a whole, particularly the ones who go nuts when using every effect in photoshop on every button they can find.
I did take the time to say thanks for all the hard work and that i appreciated it and I didnt spend too much time in your ROMs so people knew, "hey my statements are pretty general and maybe they should look for themselves before making a final decision"
All i criticized was the theming, don't take it personally. Quite frankly i even hate Acer's stupid acer ring customisation. After about 5 minutes i realised that it added nothing to my experience and was totally pointless. I even looked into removing it from your rom but was so tired i just looked for another ROM.
And i quote "No offense to the devs, they just didn't suit my taste"
I'm sorry but when i see something ugly i say it and i say it nicely. People worse than me would do the same thing and the word atrocious would be the least troublesome word in their vocabulary.
I'm sorry if i offended but that was not my intention.
If i continue to offend in future, i simply will not mention your work at all. Congrats on the kid btw.
I don't mind negative comments brought respectfully.
Some thing you need to learn if you ask me, again my opinion.
If some one speaks his mind the way you do , free and with no tact you need to understand that there will be a response .
I hate this about internet forums, people get away with every attitude.
Let me say it this way, if you where standing in front of me and my car got a really ugly paint job in your eyes you wouldn't say it was done by a 5 year old .
Take my word for it, I was born and raised the old way.
Respect and honour comes first....... you will see m8 if you have kids if you don't have them already you would love it when they are respectfully .
Again a simple question , he civ, I don't like the mirror effect could you upload stock look.
That would have been enough.
That was all I had to say about it , do with what you want ........
Fair enough i can respect that.
I don't usually contact modders, bad past exp from way back. I leave my comments and walk away, I don't make a habit of making requests and asking people to change things. Mainly because they never do.
I use as much tact as i can, believe me i do, however im a fairly harsh case. That said i can appreciate hard work. I was brought up the old way too. I may be a child of the 90's but i grew up with an old school family. Even thou, I've had to be harsh to get by and that, unfortunately, comes through, even on text.
I speak my mind and I've grown accustomed to dealing with the fallout single handed. But if I'm wrong i will say I'm wrong.
I know what you mean about the kids. Respect is a two way street. I deal with kids way too often, I know. I'm a harsh, but fair person.
Peace.
I tried Flexreaper and agree with you on how it look. Now I'm on Tabooney but the battery life is as good as Lightspeed. Tabooney is the best ICS ROM, at least for me.
Well I say this with respect but no custom ICS ROM I have flashed has been good to my battery as far as drain is concerned and I turn off everything but the Wifi.
Even in airplane mode the battery drains by 5% within 1 hour... I never had such issues with the custom Honey Comb ROMs.
I guess the custom ROMs are based from the stock leaks so I'm not blaming anybody or trying to make anybody look bad, just saying it as it is.

Might be another issue, I use taboonay and with wifi set to sleep when screen is off and will get 2 1/2 to 3 days.

The battery is worse than HC all round for true, but I'm guessing it might be due to non-final drivers and packages. Once the final acer release is out, it might be a different story. For not the battery is good enough for me 3 - 4 days with minimal use and im good.
Or it could get worse...there's nothing to say Acer will fix any problems. Just need a decent kernel.

Ah , well I talked to veer in pm and he is OK,
Let me put it this way , if we all had the same taste there was only need for one rom.
Just one comment about flex reaper and people still saying it looks not good.
Did you try scrolling down a little to the mod part and flash full stock ICS look, if you have a little read skill you can see you can bring flexreaper to full stock ics look with no blue buttons or battery %.
I think reading is harder for some then just sitting at there pc and post some crap
And that is maybe all about intelligence and not taste.
The option is there you just need to see it.
How about an current update?
This thread's comments are really old.
When the comparrisions were made I think that was when LightSpeed was a 4.4 or less and Flexreaper was at about R12 or less.
Since then Flexreaper has made a lot of updates and Lightspeed has made a few too.
I never tried Tabooney so I don't know where that is at, but it's probably been updated too.
I tried Flexreaper and Lightspeed back a few versions ago.
I liked Flexreaper over Lightspeed. I like all the extra work that has gone into the different Flexreaper looks you can chose from. Lightspeed was just too bare bones for me. But you may like that.
I haven't yet gone to the ICS kernel so I'm starting to fall behind in the Flexreaper updates. Civato is a real busy guy and I just can't keep up with him. Keep up the good work.
Any updates comparing the latest versions of the top ICS versions would be appreciated.
Thanks
I have just bought my galaxy note n7000 kernel LA1 upgrading from captivate. Actually i am not that happy, other than the large high resolution screen i feel nothing is better, may be also gps. Captivate gps was ****.
First of all touch without using the pen is a disaster, i think everyone of u tried fruit ninja and discovered that this new pressure sensitivity is ruining everything, it is close to resisitive touch screens.
I dont know the reason but data conectivity over carrier is slower. I dont know the reason but i am sure 100% huge diffrence.
And there is no cyanogen mod for gt-n7000 which is sad
Moreover i cant root it except with a downgrade which is ****, i will be waiting for a stable CM9 or official ICS which of appears first
So you'd like everyone served to you on a silver platter?
If you're not happy with the phone, why don't you pack it up and send it to me? I'll bear the difficulty and hardships that you're experiencing with the phone.
Don't suffer anymore. Relieve yourself of the phone and send it to me. For the sake of camaraderie, I'll do it.
P.S. Just do the damn downgrade with PC Odin, root it, install Mobile Odin, upgrade to the latest stock ROM while keeping ROOT + CWM, and enjoy your phone.

firstly the pressure sensitivity only applies to the pen and not to touch, i have no problems at all playing fruit ninja or any other touch games without the pen.
sencond... just because the root exploit was fixed in a upgrade does not make the phone any worse, it simply means samsung are doing their job.
third... downgrading is **** why? u just flash a stock rom, root it, and then upgrade to a newer version than u are already running with root kept... so u have a more stable version than what you are running aswell as the added root functionality.
as for waiting for ICS or CM9 to be happy... there is NOTHING wrong with GB right now, sure ICS might add improvements and some new features but that doesnt mean that GB is not doing its job right now.
Go buy a nokia it seems like it would be more suited to you!

Further more, if he searched a little bit he would find that he does not need to downgrade if he does not like it that much, just flash one of the pre rooted latest GB ROMs and then CF Root, that's it!

As already stated, rooting is easy. Not so hard to flash a different rom.
And again as already stated, touch is not pressure sensitive, you may want to have your fingers and or head examined.
The fail is strong with this one.
Seriously... depending on the availability of root exploits for root when it's a SAMSUNG and there are 34583428342 other paths to root? dafuq?
Why everyone here is talking like that as if i insulted manester united in manchester. I have problems with the new mobile and was asking if anyone have the same thing. If not u can answer no everything is ok it is working brilliant. That simple. About the touch screen i dont know the reason of not working good but i will post a video tommorw maybe someone solve that problem for me. About rom i dont like changing alot. I like to stick to a good one so i will be waiting for ICS in any form. As if i change now i will have to change again when ICS is released. Thanks help in my first topic

Download the pre-rooted ROMs that can be flashed using PC ODIN.

in real it is more apparent, notice while I am moving my finger quickly some times it stops responding, but using the pen it is non stop. Moreover the pen creates a perfect straight line while my finger makes a true zigzag, i know my finger will not make a straight line like the pen but the zigzag is so strong.
++ stylus pen work perfectly on my brother galaxy S plus 9001 while it nearly doesn't respond on my note, one out of five moves work
If I will go for a custom rom now which one do u advice, are ICS stable for daily use now??

As per what has been hinted at by others, AOSP, Cyanogen Mod and AOKP are all available for the Note, and all work more than well enough to be considered stable, daily-usage ROMs. Head over to the Android Development section and choose the one you like. I am with ICS Stunner (AOKP-based) after having tried AOSP and CM. My initial plan was to use a vanilla ICS ROM until official Samsung release (to get all S-Pen features and FM Radio back -- yes I do use the FM thingie ), but I'm actually not so sure anymore... I'll probably stay with ICS Stunner at least until we can get tablet UI on Samsung ROM
As to the pressure sensitivity issue, all works well on my side. I haven't tried Fruit Ninja, but didn't have any issue with any other app/game I've tried.
I am currently running Criskelo's ICS V2, which is very good in my opinion.
However, at this precise moment in time I would not advise a new Note owner to flash any ICS ROM due to the risk of a hard brick due to bugs in the currently available ICS kernels.
I've had my Note for 6+ months now, and I'm fully aware of the risks involved, so I'm not going to go back to Gingerbread myself, but given the official update is likely only a few weeks away, I would advise anyone else who hasn't already flashed ICS to wait.
Once official ICS drops, the kernel source will also drop and the ICS development scene will become a lot safer!

Dave
You should have at least posted the link nicely without us having to copy, paste and fix the link.
Anyway, have you tried doing the same with other app like s memo? Also, the game is not designed for you to blindly swipe across the screen.
Do you have screen protector installed?
For data connection, what is the speed difference during file transfer? Did you try with 2 devices side by side? It could be that your carrier is currently having problem.

Not new to Android, the forum, etc... Just new to THIS device.
I am looking to get solid opinions on two things...
The best ROM for this tablet. But something stable, working properly, not a lot of bugs. There is a lot of cool development going on for this device, but trying to wade through it all can be a bit of a handful. I don't care about overclocked kernels and things like that. I just want something fast, stable, full featured, etc... Taking the stock ROM, and making it even better.
In the past, Cyanogen was the go to ROM for my DroidX. Blew me away. On the Rezound, my current fav is ViperREZ. Maybe that gives an indication of what I am looking for?
Second question, the launcher. My main goals are speed, eye candy and features. I have used Go, Apex and Nova on my phones, and Sense 4,0 is actually pretty slick. ADW was nice as well.
But are any of those really optimized for a tablet? I am looking for something that is very functional, but that also makes me say WOW! every time I use it.
Suggestions?
Sigh. So many threads asking about the "best" ROM.... why don't you just try them all and see which one you prefer. All have faults some more than others. You'll get different answers from everyone because everyone has different preferences on what's good.
It takes all of 1 minute to flash a ROM... you could quickly sift through the available ROM's to see which one catches your eye at first.
im using paranoid android. its based off of cm10 plus you can change switch between tablet mode, phone mode, and phablet mode on any app you have installed. until there is a full version of cm10 or aokp this looks like it will be my rom of choice. i agree with the post above, just flash some and see what you like i just chose to answer your question an not be a d about it. good luck and happy flashing
Well, playing with all of them, if there are known issues, which most of them have, can be like finding a needle in a hay stack, you know?
I will say though, that this launcher is impressive. I used it on my phone awhile back, but it had some glitches back then. It has been updated since then and on a tablet it makes a lot more sense.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spb.shell3d&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
For now, hell, the ROM may not matter much as the UI is completely revamped and very cool.
I did say that it might be a dumb question. LOL
I wish CM10 was fully baked for this device, that would rock.

Cool, I will check that one out.
Anyone know how to take a screen cap with this device, on the stock ROM?
Is this app even working on tablets? Btw its cool but u will loose a lot of stock android features, at least i miss them there.
You could wait for charmeleon app, thats kind of a launcher app. You could google it. It will be released in september i think. It was a kickstarter project and i am a backer so i will get it this week already, i can report later if u want.

Actually working pretty well. The 3D effects really come alive on a larger screen. If I could take screen caps, I would, but have not figured that out yet on this thing. hehe
Power+Volume Down should take a screenshot.
I've flashed 3 or 4 roms, and always restore my stock backup.. I haven't found any that are as smooth as the stock build as of yet.

I agree with this post, the only way to find out what's best for you is to try them all. I did that I came to conclusion that the Jellybro nightly kang is what's best for me with 170 DPI mod to bring out tablet UI. Loving it now. I tried the other "hybrid" ROM but didn't like it because I naturally love the big (or small) resolution which give me a more virtual screen estate at all times.
Good luck

Hmmm... what is this 170dpi mod you speak of?
Vol down and power does not screen cap like it does on my phone. Weird.
And last thing... How does one get into Recovery? I can do it from the OS with Quickboot, and selecting Bootloader or Recovery, etc... I just backed up the phone to a Nandroid using CWM, the one that is touch screen.
on my Rezound, I can pull the battery, hold vol down and power for a few seconds and get into Recovery in the event that a Flash is wonky and bootlooping or whatever...
How does one do that on this device?
If your not 'new' to this forum then surely you would know "best ROM?" threads aren't really tolerated..

1) I am not new.
2) And had I just asked for the "best ROM", I would expect your non-helpful reply. I felt that if I explained the criteria of what I was after, then perhaps some other people that went through the selection process could point me in the right direction rather than trusting to trial and error.
See, I apply the same standards to others that I apply to myself. In the 17 or so years that I have been on forums(going back to Tom's Hardware Guide on the original Delphi forums), and even having moderated several over the years... I have never once told someone to use the search button, or "just figure it out", etc...
I always answer questions, perhaps in more detail and length than most would, and so I guess that I sorta expect the same courtesy of others.
If someone says that they are looking for X,Y,Z, I don't tell them to go try dozens of ROMs and hope that sooner or later they stumble across the one that has X,Y and Z. I try to say, "Hey, ROM's are all subjective, but here are 2 or 3 that are exactly what you are asking for"... or something to that effect.
Regards,
Dave

I find that cwm won't open up for me if I power off then volume down then select recovery and all that. It just hangs on the black screen. So I just use adb or ROM manager. Or then advanced power menu.

I recently bought a Nexus 4 and it should be here this coming week.
I was wondering what are the first things I should do to it?
My list:
1. Let it charge to 100% and use till 0% to calibrate battery
2. Root the Phone
3. ???
thanks!
You should definitely unlock the bootloader directly, because this process will delete everything on your phone... When you used your phone some time and want to unlock it then, the backing up and restoring might be annoying.
And don`t drain the battery to 0% or the red light monster might get you.
On top of all that has been said, rooting is worth it, this thread will help you choose a rom & kernel (just remember, no rom is the best, you just have to try some and see what one you like)
Calibration is not needed.

Calibration was a farce.
OP, you need to head over to the dev section and find a kernel. Read the OP's, comments on battery life, functions, etc. and figure out which kernels you want to try first. I would start by running stock with a custom kernel.
mc704, I just want to say, on behalf of the nexus 4 community. Welcome. You will find a huge variety of ROMs, mods, and kernels to choose from. Lots of things to try and customize. Rooting your nexus is the best thing to ever happen to your phone. We are a community driven force to be reckoned with. Just remember one thing while you're here? Please take your time and read up on anything you might have questions about. Most of are more than happy to assist you should you run into a brick wall. We all hope your rooting experience is fulfilling should you choose to do so. Happy flashing.
yes root
install greenify and adway
enjoy
I started of unlocking and flashing AOKP accompanied with franco kernel.
but it's just my bad habit, unbox, don't even boot it once, flash with custom.
(did that to iphone4, htc one X, and now nexus, lol)
after I got used to all of the sweetness of AOKP (oneX), couldnt go back to stock.
forget battery, calibration is myth from the dark age of the nimh batteries
for the beginning, if you have no past experience: unlock, root, flash custom kernel (franco is IMO very decent)
play with it, see what you like and what not, do research and enjoy having the best phone on the market. and being a part of the best community

Wow! Thanks so much for the info guys. I checked out some stickies and I know what to do now.
My question now is....what is the majority consensus on a screen protector for the front and back? I searched and there are "many" preferred.
If you want one on the front, make sure you get one that has cut outs for the sensors so it won't cause any issues. But I'm pretty sure by now the all should have the cut outs. As for the back side, if you don't want a case I think you should get a skin for the back. (More info below). I think you should get a case as well to protect the device from accidental falls.
I use to have a screen protector on my phone but I recently took it off because I missed touching the beautiful screen. I'm not worried about scratches. I always make sure I don't have things in my pockets or bags that will scratch my phone. Lol.

I would say unlock the bootloader before you download anything, then just use stock for a little while to get a feel for how stock android is on this device. Then if after that you decide it isn't enough or there are some apps or tweaks you want that can only be had with root, root it

Well As the Nexus is a great developers device. Learn to develop. While flashing roms and mods are great, the device is wasted unless you learn something.
thanks everyone for their help!

Hey there all and OP. like everyone is saying you should unlock the boot loader and I'd say roll with Stock for a bit. I find that after going from one ROM to another, I find myself going back to Stock-Rooted all the time. Something about it feels smooth and it flies. Look into custom kernels and Build Prop tweaks. The latter could potentially increase your data speeds. It has with mine noticeably.
And as for the person who is debating about getting this device, I say go for it. When the next Nexus comes out just sell the N4 for it. That's the beauty of the Nexus program. Either way you'll get the newest version of Android.
Just my two cents.
Here is what i have done with my new Nexus 4....

I'm using Franco kernel with his kernel updater tool. Great performance and optimization tweaks! A must-have!
