So far all is working good. To avoid any gapps problems, I used the gapps from birdmans rom (they were working for me when I flashed his latest).

Will report back any problems but none so far.

So 3g/4g/Wifi are working?

The 2G features discussed in this ROM confuse me a bit...VZW (as far as I know) has 1X, 3G, and 4G/LTE...what does 2G do, or is this only relevant on a GSM version of this ROM?

 

[Redflea]

I've never owned a CDMA device, so my knowledge on their network is little to none. I tried to read up on it for a bit, but still, I can't test.

You can kind of check what's going on by looking here: https://github.com/T...rvice.java#L165

you can see if the user has it set to 2G mode while screen is off, and PowerSaver detects the device is CDMA, then it will request the phone to change to NT_MODE_EVDO_NO_CDMA. Now whether that mode actually corresponds to 1X or 3G I'm not really sure to be honest.

I know nothing about this stuff, but have a friend named Google...

Hmm...well:

"1xRTT is a 2G (second generation) technology that has been available a lot longer than EVDO and is available just about anywhere cell phone coverage is for Verizon or Sprint."

So I guess industry folks refer to Verizon's 1X network as 2G...OK.

"EVDO, or Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized, is a 3G mobile broadband technology used by Verizon, Sprint, and Alltel that provides typical download speeds of 600-1400kbps (with bursts up to 3100kbps)" so one would think that EVDO w/out CDMA (the 3G signal) would mean 1X (which is analogous to 2G)...

It does seem like a problem w/switching to 1X to try to save battery (if that's what's going on), because AFAIK, Verizon's 1X uses much more battery power than 3G...switching to 1X should have a negative affect on battery life. I know that when I travel to my family's cottage for vacation we get terrible signal there, and my phone goes to 1X mode and the battery dies really fast.

That about taps me out...and clearly all of this is beyond my ken.

 

[Redflea]

correct. be sure to grab the new gaps

This could be. Like I said I can't test, so I leave it up to you good people here.

Also something to consider with your 2G draining problem: maybe it's because the phone was set on 3G so it was consistently trying to find a 3G signal draining more battery? Perhaps if it was set to only 2G it would have been better? I don't know... just guessing.

That'sa good point...

 

[Redflea]

Can someone give me a quick summary of any significant issues/gaps in this rom?

And specifically:

- FB sync of contacts/pictures?
- Google Wallet work?
- Market update of installed apps (i.e., when apps have updates they appear in the My Apps view in the market?

Thanks...this rom looks intriguing.

Rom download is slow...no mirrors?

Not that's what I'm talking about awesome battery life so far.

Post your history details screen as well...(rap on the graph at the top of the battery screen you posted...)

Very nice ROM. Seems fast, stable, and nice features.

Milestone 1 with Franco's beta 6 kernel is a win on performance for me, will see how battery life goes.

So glad to get the menu buttons back on each side with Nova launcher...wouldn't work on Axiom/Zygote.

This ROM is win big time...

FYI: Verizon is having another nationwide data outage...

for those running this rom but with a different kernal, what have you found to be the best mix on performance and battery life? If there is an edge I would rather have a little more battery life and sacrifice some performance.

Thanks

Try Franco's beta 6 kernel... Search XDA for it. 1200 kernel, so should be easier on battery, and very smooth.

So far this on adr's 0.4.2 works well battery life is phenomenal only lost 2% over night.

Where's "adr's" kernel?

OK, thanks, I've used that one, hadn't seen the "ard" reference.

I just noticed that the battery in the status bar does not show when it is charging. Is this a known issue? Is it working for anyone?

Edit: Actually I just removed the % from the battery it does show the charging. Only not there when displaying the %

Looks like the numbers hide it.. I think I can see the charger symbol behind the numbers.

Started getting persistent fcs of phone process...and no data (restored Axiom and had data immediately). Just me? I know there was a data outage, but I had no data on Aokp, and had data as soon as I reverted to Axiom. I rebooted on aokp, and made sure data was enabled. Fix permissions in rom manager didn't help fcs.

Just to let everyone know verizon is having a network outage with ltedevicrs. This includes 3g Aldo. So that's where you're having network outages

Problem is my data is fine on Axiom...not on Akop. In akop network settings, default was set to GSM/WCDMA, which I changed to LTE/CDMA, but that didn't help...my loss of data coincided with repeated FCs per my post just above...

I'm going to restore my akop backup and see if data availability persists...

Won't work. You'll need to wipe /data to fix data.

In light of recent data issues everyone's having. I'm considering removing a few power saver options for LTE devices until I can test it for myself or someone who knows something can contribute some fixes . Too much room for error .

Ok, thanks...bummer, here we go again.

I agree with the removal...also, is that why there were a bunch of APN options in settings? AFAIK, VZW service doesn't use APN settings...never seen them on any other VZW phone/ROM.

Pull power saver and add tethering and you're good to go.

If you can figure out NFC tags, that would be awesome. I am getting some next week to play with.

From what I've read, tags aren't working yet at all on ICS, known issue, in the Google code bug list...

I have used other 4.0.3 roms and theyvwork great on reading and writing tags 4.0.2 had problems writing. I just love everthing else about this rom to switch.

Thanks, exact opposite of what someone else posted...damn interweb! I'll have to start playing with tags...
