[INFO] Drew Garin's ICS Flavours; On Screen Buttons and Hardware Buttons - Alpha

Hello All,
Here is Drew Garin's ICS AOSP builds on his main site, it comes in two flavours:
No onscreen buttons and, onscreen buttons.
The onscreen buttons build is the same experience you will have on the Galaxy Nexus. Drew states that this build it more stable, and recommends this build if you want a solid ICS experience.
The no onscreen buttons build works as you would expect. It takes advantage of the Nexus S hardware buttons.
I will quote everything from his site below
What Works:
Nearly Everything!
USB and ADB
3G Data
Audio
Hardware Accel
Camera, Panorama
GPS (Unconfirmed currently I’m in a 13 story brick building)
Face Unlock
Wifi
Bluetooth
Tethering and Hotspot
Data Usage
NFC
Pretty much everything
Not Working:
Camcorder
Not all applications are currently compatible with ICS on Crespo. As a work around you can always use appbrain or download from the internet.
Download With On Screen Buttons (Overall Stable):
mirror 1: http://www.multiupload.com/BWE16F2YTH
mirror 2: dg-ics-on-screen
Download No Buttons (Experimental):
mirror 1: http://www.multiupload.com/TESISLS5MV
No Button Build Issues:
Tethering and Hotspot Does Not Work
There May Be Some Other Issues
On Screen Is More Stable
GITHUB: (link coming soon when all sources are up)
Kernel Credit Of: Kwiboo (for the time being until my kernel is done)
Wifi and Bluetooth Fix Credit: Kwiboo
Install Instructions:
Boot into Clockwork Recovery
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik
-install from zip
-reboot and enjoy!!
Notes:
Do not turn on 2D acceleration on in settings -> developer.
In spare parts turn off compatibility mode and restart for downloaded apps to work better in ics.
Need a root explorer like tool? I suggest using jrummy’s root browser.
The On Screen Button Version doesn’t lag as much and provides that ICS smooth scroll you wish to see.

It should be noted!!!
1.I did not have any part in creation of this, all credit goes to Drew Garin, I suggest you visit his site for full details (Linked above).
2.Lets keep this civil, I'm sharing here on XDA to give us full exposure of all ICS roms.

Oh what fun. How long till this bad boy is shut down? Start a poll

I for one want to keep this thread civil.
If you don't like drew, don't donate, don't download his build, and don't post in this thread.
That aside I'm eager to see if scrolling has improved over kwiboo's version. Because other than that, kwiboo's is pretty damn near perfect.

Nah, he was banned from Android Central forums for not posting the sources of his SDK builds. He just doesn't post on XDA, presumably out of fear of being ostracized.

Been running this the last 15 minutes, a bit laggy (compare to Kwiboo's).
Now we have 7 buttons on the phone.

Anyone actually flashed it? kwiboo's version is working so well that I am not in the mood to change it
edit: havent seen lcchan1 post before posting it, thanks

I flashed the hardware buttons version... Seems to run as you would expect.
Now time to try the on screen buttons version (even though it seems a bit redundant to me)

I will investigate the reboot issues asap so you guys can run Franco until then haha

which version? with or without buttons?

I like Kwiboo's better, but I have no choice but to use this - I had problem with Kwiboo's as I can't install any apps from sd card from file manager or TB nor my apps will auto restored. So I will continue to test drew's rom - is not that bad.

Lidroid ICS Rom 4.0.3

Hello,
Just wanted to say my impression on Lidroid ICS ROM. I have been using almost all LPB based Roms lately. The only one that stayed longer was MODGalaxy, which is a clean stock Samsung LPB Rom.
Having read about Lidroid dev here and his mods, I read that he issues his Rom based on ICS too in his forum. So I gave it a try. Apart of some apps in Chinese language, a nice keyboard but unfortunately for Chinese language, I am really impressed for its smoothness. The rom has 14 icon mod, percentage battery, Lockapp, Root Explorer and other goodness by default.
I have removed some of the local apps with Root Explorer and inserted an ICS keyboard. Now everything runs good for me.
I am trying today and just wanted to say to brave hearts to give it a try too. You will be impressed I think or hope...

I'm using the super secret XXMPF Final beta alpha release of ICS 4.0.4 with full stock Samsung ICS experience and 18 button mod + Automatic snap of desktop mod + Super Turbo Speed script v16.9! It's smooth like a baby's bottom and makes my SGS2 auto-upgradable to SGS3 by OTA! You guys'll love it once you install it!

Another first impressions thread... Maybe someone should start a second impressions thread?

Come on guys. I just wanted to let you know about a Rom that is not available in this forum. This post was not about my impressions but mostly about knowing and trying a Rom outside of XDA.

Or maybe I could say my last impressions about this thread before it gets closed?

No Sprint Note 4 Lollipop leaks?

I miss this from the good old days. I really enjoyed beta testing.....

Well there are tons of them if you don't mind running a CM rom (missing S-Goodies).

Spen is working on official and unofficial CM12, with limited functionality though. There are apps in Playstore that restore some of these however. Definitely worth a go [emoji2]

Hope we get it soon.

Sprint has released another rdf update today: OB3.rdf , I'm still unable to post direct links, so to access this use the link posted above and replace OB2.rdf with OB3.rdf .

link here

What are these files exactly?

From @rwilco12 post
For those of you who don't know what an RDF is... RDF stands for "Resource Description Framework". In non-geek terms an RDF is essentially a specification sheet that details what the finished product will be. In this case the product itself is already out but any time there is a software revision it results in a build number change. Each build number has an associated RDF.
As an update - Sammobile is reporting that OTAs are going out for the Note 4 in Poland, so it appears that any delay may now be over.

No unnecessary google crappy apps.

Hi, too many rom have to buy another one of Le Pro3.
I think the CM13 by the Spainish team is one of the best, you can use different battery profile like Efficient, Performance, sound have good volume. I found this rom good.
I am on Turbo Rom at the moment it's pretty good but all Roms I put Nova launcher to use it.

Does anyone have the download links for the latest TURBO rom?

gents.... i think this device is using native 4k resolution..... it needs more testing...... but i nstalled aida64 and is detecting 4k res, without using the script (wm)....... there is a little problem with this..... lol.... now, play store apps are not compatible with my device..... it looks very nice.....no lag......... either way, i will further research on this.....
update: i gave some time and rebooted couple of times........now play store works fine.......
also, battery life is excellent, among other optimizations, i was able to reduce the core speed range from 180 mhz to 710 mhz.... but for some reason, it doesn't like to go lower than 257mhz..... so, it must be some setting in the kernel......
will keep you updated......

hey guys does anyone have a working version of this rom I have the lastest versions and the 753 but I want an older one so I can use the Google assistant I think it was the p9 rom or something like that.
