CLOSED TEST - (no longer Looking) for Beta Testers with ICS Experience - BETA CLOSED!

I am closing the beta for the time being, have a handful of testers atm. It may open up again, stay tuned.
You know the name of the game. Experienced ICS users only please.
I have been putting together a frankenstein type ICS build, blending some tweaks with:
-Beta 2.5.1 i9000
-Beta2 by goodoane
-ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip by onecosmic
-Recommended using the FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip from here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount (the kernel is included in the zip)
-Also recommend the KB5 modem, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19795419&postcount=130 (this is also included in the zip, but its not flashing with the rom as of right now)
This has some framework, build.pop, and ui tweaks applied, but I've pulled back on the theming to direct my attentions to functionality.
-Keymapping is corrected
-Can mount via MTP mode
-Moutning works in recovery
-ADB and Shell both work
-SU out of the box
-Lockscreen rotates and screen rotates 360 degrees
Not working:
Must toggle mute (on then off) in order to be heard by incoming callers
GPS
Video Recording
Video Playback (buggy)
You tell me what else to add here.
Installation: (coming from another ICS build, or CM7 only!!)
-Reboot to recovery, perform a factory reset
-Go to mounts and storage and format system
-Flash the Beta2 Kernel (FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip)
-Flash the rom
-Flash your modem (no longer need to reflash the kernel)
-Fix permissions
-Reboot the phone
New Info
As you guys have read, I have been running the data data tweak from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20017090&postcount=1756 and it seems to have made things a lot more stable. No odd application issues going on anymore, although there is a bit more lag, but I think I have found a temp fix for that.
Since Friday night I have been running AutoKill Memory Optimizer, free version from the market. Its not a task killer really, but it maintains the amount of free system memory on your device, from what I understand. I am using Aggressive settings, with the Advanced settings for Memory and Battery enabled, and my phone is flying!
If you guys want, give that a shot, and let me know your results.
*******************************
So, who wants to test?
First, you promise not to release this or share it with anyone, by signing up you agree to this one term.
You should have experience with ICS, and know how to flash it and recover from a bad flash.
If you've never flashed ICS before, you definitely want to start there.
I am looking to possibly release this to the wild by the end of the week, so active testers are a big plus!
When I feel like I have enough testerss I will post that on the top of this post, just ask in here, and I will pm you a link.

I'll test, running ICS now.. I know how to do a little above basic stuff.

can you fix the problem with (i guess all ICS) people not hearing me right?
sometimes they hear me ok, sometimes too loud, or not at all.
i''ve tried to hold and resume but it doesn't fix the issue every time.
this should be a top priority for any rom.
i returned to your zen froyo. it is nice and battery holds 4-5 days for me.
thank you.

Toggling mute fixes it for me every time. I do plan on looking into that, but I'm not there quite yet.
So, no new takers?

I'll test it out... I've been on the i9000 ICS ROM for about 2 weeks now.

Link sent, thx

Ok, I'll Bite. Have experience with everything you stated above. Am currently using the Passion V5 Beta and a lot to like but still a work in progress. Let me know if I can help.

Been running it for about 30 mins, nothing to report so far. Not a big fan of the green theme though, but I will still continue to test.

Followed instructions to the T. After flashing rom, then reflashing kernel, and fixing permissions I go to reboot system now, and it keeps me in Recovery. Will keep trying and let you know. Any thing you want me to try? Could it be because I have Gingerbread bootloader?

What rom were you coming from? This should run with both bootloaders, but I'm on the stock bootloaders, so that might be it. Also, you should be coming from either CM7 or another ICS rom.
Maybe try redownloading the file and reflashing.

I can test for you

I would be glad to help with testing with one caveat. I need either USB tethering or wifi hotspot to be working. I use that quite frequently and would not be able to keep the ROM installed without it.

Hi proxuser
what are the key unique features of this ROM ?
i already tried carbon rom

@proxuser
Hi, topic, im a noob so i cant yet post in the developement section, I tested your latest kernel, flashed:
Kartal-JB4.3-AOSP-eur_3g-10.29.2013.zip
and my device didnt want to start up. It hung on the samsung startup screen.
I'm using using cm10.2 official nightlies 25 October rom. I have previously flashed your 1.9ghz overclocking kernel, it worked fine.

Thanks! I'm really thrilled about this one. Hands down best Rom on my Nexus 7. Downloading now.
Hope you get BLN working. Have you considered Active Notifications alternatively? Might even be the better solution.

Don't see the benefit in that. You could just use Apps like NoLED or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=de
benefit of BLN is less battery drain

Thanks for the advice. I already gave them a try. Knock2 ist too far removed from a stock like appearance, NoLED has a hughe battery drain and DN has had a known issue with low res icons for several versions on the S4 mini, which is still not fixed.
Besides, the big advantage would be a tighter integration of the functionality with the rom hence potentially lowering battery consumption even further and resolving problems with unlocking the phone, those apps tend to run into.

I am using: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ledblinker.pro&hl=en
I compared it to NoLED and it drains less battery.
Try it

Turns out, we had Active Notifications all along. It can be found in the display settings.

<<<Clarifications about AOSP ROMs before jumping ship!>>>

So I'm still on stock LG ROM.
I have always liked and used AOSP ROMs on all my previous phones and now I want to use Android 4.4.2 but I have please some questions about these ROMs for our G2 before going into this:
1-Un-intrusive calls: (call popup)
Does "call heads" or "call popout" from play store work perfectly and can replace original LG implementation of this feature?!
1'-Does OmniROM implementation work perfectly always like LG's?!?
2-Call recordings:
Is there is any call recorder apps that work on these ROMs like the xposed module of G2?
I mean clear phone call recording of BOTH ends (perhaps on kernel level).
3-Screenshots editing
Is there is any app that is similar to quick memo and allows quick taking, editing and sharing of screenshots on the go?!
4-Screen casting (Miracast)
Does screen casting on these ROMs work like on stock LG?
I have a smart TV and I cast photos, videos etc... to my TV with just a simple click.
5-GRAM
Does GRAM work on these ROMs as far as you know?
6-AOSP camera
Is now AOSP camera 13MP or it is still on 8MP?
How is its quality compared to LG one?
7-FM radio
Any way to get FM radio working on these ROMs?
8-Stability and bugs
How is stability on these ROMs? Any known bugs?
Is there is any nasty wakelocks or something to worry about?
Does YouTube works?
Gaming performance?
9-Battery life
How is battery life compared to stock?
Please include numbers/screenshots if possible.
10-Exchange emails
I have always had bad experience with Exchange emails on AOSP ROMs.
Push email never allows phone to go to sleep and even with high intervals as high as 4hrs I still had like 2 hrs of wakelocks due to this email.
This LG G2 is the only phone where I have none of these issues.
11-LTE
LTE on these ROMs?
Thank you all for answering all these if possible :victory: :fingers-crossed:

That's quite a list you have there. I think you'd be better off making a backup of your stock set up and then flashing a ROM and testing out some of these questions for yourself.

Excuse me to say that you're both trying to be smart!
First, I will install some AOSP roms anyways.
Second, still after doing so, many of the clarifications I asked about will still be unknown to me since I am about replacement apps or methods that I don't know or others...
Bottom of the line, if you're helpful you are most welcomed, if not please don't answer! That's better for your image!

Nobody is trying to be smart with you Life Engineer. The fact is, your best source of information for a comprehensive list such as this, is Google and your own trial and error.
Here in the troubleshooting section of the G2 forums, it's very off topic to be asking some of these questions, like the specific ones looking for replacement apps or that one about battery life and explicitly requesting empirical evidence.
None of us are trying to be rude here, it's just that what you're asking for someone(s) to do, comes across as your own dirty work. And honestly, I don't think anyone that reads this is going to give more than maybe one straight answer.
In any case I wish you the best of luck and hope you find what you're looking for.

Strange, but I almost thought this was the Q&A section, exclusively for what this individual is doing asking questions for which he seeks answers to.
Since the lot of you have obviously no answers that help this individual with his very specific questions that are simply answered with a yes or a no, could you kindly refrain from commenting at all and possibly crawl back into the holes from which you have come.

I dunno about any ROMs having call recording integrated into the ROM but I do know that Call Recorder should work just fine.
Screen recording and screen casting works on PAC-man and ChameleonOS 4.4 ROMs, as well as plain ol' CM-11.0 with the Screencast app
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.cyanogenmod.screencast
Still not sure about GRAM. I was actually looking for some more info on it when I stumbled across this thread.

AOSP Rom

Was able to get a ROM built and running based on LRX21V straight from source. Just trying to get a feel on how many people would want to run AOSP. There are some bugs present such as video recording causing the camera to stop working. I think there are binaries missing that Google didn't include in the binaries that are available. Same problem happened on the Nexus 5. Didn't test it much as I just purely wanted to see if it booted.
Also there is a lack of gapps available so I won't be rushing to get anything out. Let me know what y'all think and I'll try to tackle this to get some other options out for us.
Here is the test build for those that want to have a look. This is just a test build so bugs are to be expected. Video recording does not work. Haven't tested it completely as I need a fully working device this weekend. This is for those that have free time to just nit pick and find all bugs in this. Please report back after you are done and let me know what else you may have found that is broken or not working right.
Stock Google kernel (so if you flashed the kernel image to remove encryption your phone WILL be encrypted again)
Built off 5.0.0_r7 from AOSP
Flash ROM, flash gapps and flash SU that is linked below. This will allow root access on the stock kernel.
You can also optionally flash the custom boot image after flashing the ROM, gapps and SU by rebooting to bootloader and fastboot flash boot the custom encryption kernel. That is optional. Be sure to go back in to recovery after flashing the kernel to reflash the SU to make sure it was not overwritten.

I know the reasons behind it, which was the point of the "no offense." I wasn't whining. I was trying to help motivate and encourage OP. He, as well as others, are working on making things happen and I'm excited for it and waiting eagerly for the kernel source to drop.
You took what I said the wrong way, so step off of your soap box, zephiK.

No. Minor bug fixes for the particular device it was made for but that's it. I did notice on the N5 that there was a significant "miscellaneous" battery drain on r7. Might roll back to r3 if its present since r3 is the one for us (its also the same build for the N5).

Miscellaneous bug again? I wonder if they broke the same thing they already fixed, or if this is something else that is just falling into miscellaneous as well.

As I wanted to attempt to pre-root and make some changes... Ugh.
Simply installing the SuperSU apk is enough for root, correct? I don't have to re-run CF... Especially since I'm not near a PC

Yes just use the one I linked to. Be sure to flash it in the same session so you don't lose the custom recovery.

Remember its just a test so I recommend waiting until you have access to a PC. Just in case lol

Well, I bit the bullet. Only lost a few downloads.... But anyway.
Sound quality seems.... Different? Also network says its connected to LTE, but its beyond slow. Not sure why exactly.
I'm on the correct APN.
Closing apps, I hear a slight buzz/tap three tomes when hitting the home button.

I have a 32gb and that's what I have.... I didn't check before.... Anyone have any idea what storage should be out of the box?

I was getting weird audio sounds at first... I don't know if it was the update when I got home that fixed it but it's been non existent since the first couple of hours I had the phone

Best ROM out there for Moto X Style?

Hello, two questions:
- What is the most stable and most problem-free 7.1 ROM for Moto X Style? CM, Lineage, Slim7?
- Should I wait for the official ROM?
Thanks.

For me it's dirty unicorns. It's really stable and the latest weekly has the camera running superb for me so far with Snapchat and the inbuilt camera app. Also has the most kernel customizations out of every 7.1.1 custom ROM. Highly recommend you to try it out and see for yourself since ROMs are based on personal preference.

And I would recommend: next time ask such questions in the Q&A section or even general section but NEVER in android development section.

Don't take this the wrong way since it is a sincere question. Why not in a developer thread? I have been a member of the CM11 thread until the project ended and it was a developer thread, the ONLY place you could get up to the minute, real help for the custom rom. It was a developer thread especially made for this rom.

Because the question is generic. Fur the most part the development sections should be geared toward resolving issues with ROMs and/or what features the ROM may need improvement on. Asking what people think is the most stable ROM or what not sure not contribute to development.

That is a good answer. No one should be in developer threads asking what is the best rom, etc. But to join a rom specific developer thread is a good place to post rom questions for this device. We need *some place* to discuss this and IMHO, the developer threads are the best, where you get the best answers, and most serious places to get answers. With that in mind, one has to behave accordingly. I.e.: No clowning around for best rom, best games, pokemon, or any other out of place questions or comments. You have earned your Thanks. Thanks!
EDIT: "Generic" question, that is the significant part I missed. There are plenty of places to discuss generic rom questions but not in a developer thread. For specific questions, I would imagine there are threads for that. My CM11 thread was quite specific so the Q&A was most welcome there. :good:

Please read up on it in the forums dedicated for the ROM. That is part of the purpose of those forums: to report issues and allow people such as yourself to determine if the ROM will work for you by reading through them.

I have read through them all. There is no sufficient information. Everyone is like thank you so much for this without saying any issues, so after installation I found everything was broken.
When u ask also people come and say "why don't u try it for urself?" What sort of theory is that? last time all ROMs used to have a section at least for bug list of features that doesn't work, but none of the new ROMs have that. Its like we have to take a medicine without knowing the side effects to know only about them after trying it.

Camera is now stable. Flashlight not as much. Its mostly just slow. Everything else is now stable and is my daily driver, I've been using it not because the camera is better. I havnt found anything broken. Gonna try truepure stock rom today just because I sorda miss it. But I'm gonna stick with dirty unicorn because its working perfectly for me now with mini dynamic apps. Also open gapps aroma also work great.

11.2 RC is what I recommend. That didn't have any problems what so ever except flashlight. I'm on the latest weekly and there is just small changes that don't matter much except viper for android can work on enforcing and magisk is in the settings menu now.

Awesome. I guess I'll be giving it another try. Right now I'm running on their 10.5, pretty stable but I have random reboots

Is this the Moto x pure 2015 forum?

Aicp April nightlies have been amazing, huge upgrade over previous Roms for me, including previous versions of AICP itself. Battery life is poor currently, but everything is buttery smooth and snappy (v4a, Substratum, pixel launcher, moto camera and gallery all working flawlessly). I'd highly recommend trying it, even if you have previously. I just switched my color profile to "deep black colorful" as well and i must say I'm really loving my phone again.

I had major problems flashing DU when I tried. I did a full wipe and tried 3 different gapps, including the recommended mini dynamic gapps and I got constant google play services force closes when it booted up. I couldn't even get to settings to try to close or mute something to look around at what was causing it. I'm using Ground Zero Roms Validus and its great for the most part. Still want to try DU though if I can figure out that issue.

That's weird. I never had that problem before. I might flash the ROM and gapps and make a backup and maybe install it to Android file host so you won't run into any problems. I use open gapps aroma and change the SMS app, clock, calender, and other stock apps for Google apps and it worked fine for me. Even dynamic gapps worked fine. I don't know what the problem could be.

I can understand the frustration, but to some degree it is almost a crap shoot, especially on AOSP. Things can break from one update to the next as the devs work their magic. What worked today may not work tomorrow and vice versa. That is why I recommend trying then out. Devs typically work to improve their ROMs both stability and feature wise but given the difference in usage, apps, and even manufacturing variances in hardware internals, a ROM could work well for one user's needs but be broken for another.
As far as AOSP, I hear a lot of good things about AICP, but I use stock rooted on my MXPE so I can't confirm anything. It works great on my old LG G3 D850.

How?

Sorry for the noob question...I did a lot of custom roms on my SGS2 and SGS4 but when I got my Moto X Pure I have just used it stock.
I have been having enough issues with it that I considered replacing it with a Moto G5 Plus but decided I might as well try a ROM before I give up on it entirely.
So back to the noob question...how do I get from stock to that ROM? Also, can you send me a link to the ROM you are talking about (This one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-aicp-clark-xt1575-t3222868/page646)

To your noob question: I'm pretty sure the general process is the same to get a custom ROM as the SGSs you did. Flash the appropriate custom ROM made for your device via custom recovery. That has not really changed since custom ROMs for Android first came into being. The methods of getting a custom recovery onto a device changes though so please use due diligence to get it done if you haven't already.
