So after all the comments about how lovely it is to have everything work in this ROM, I just loaded it up. First impression is that is nice clean, simple AOSP. That's good.

But it took me a few seconds to find a little something that doesn't seem to work. Does anybody have the long-press Menu button working? Long-press Home works... but not Menu.

--edit

Since I had become accustomed to having more of my commonly used apps/functions accessible by one-touch operation, I decided to install a home replacement (I tried Go Launcher). And what do you know... the long-press Menu custom function started working! Murphy's law or something... now I have so many one-touch launches available (and keep the home screen uncluttered), I don't know what to do with them.

Oh, well it's a good thing. I hope I found my long term ROM. I've been flashing a lot lately, and that is really not my thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chris7os:
Did you actually set the long press menu button to do something before deciding it didn't work?

Navigate to menu/settings /advanced settings/input/long press menu settings

And yeah, I absolutely love GoLauncher. Currently rockin the 'suave icons' theme

Much love brother

Yep, I tried several apps, shortcuts, etc mapped to long-press Menu... and then I tried again and again. Nothing was working. I would press and hold Menu and nothing would happen, until I released and then the main menu would come up. The long-press Home custom mapping working was fine.

Oh well, I gave up and thought, if that is the worst problem, I can live with it. Then I started playing around with Go Launcher. As I was playing, I pressed menu (a fairly long press) and Astro (my free file explorer of choice) launched, and I thought it was a bug (I had Astro mapped to long-press Home). So then I tried both, and both were launching Astro.

Great, more bugs (or so I thought!)...

Then I went back into the menu>settings>advanced>input and holy crap, I had left both buttons mapped to Astro! I changed the apps around and tested and it all was working correctly.

I swapped back to the stock home, and long-press Menu was inactive, again.

And yeah, I'm kinda liking Go Launcher... a lot. I normally don't get all OCD about themes and icons and such, I have a typical home screen set-up that is really simple. But I sure wasted a bunch of time playing last night with Go Launcher.

I really hope this is the set-up to last me till my next phone (a LONG time from now).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chris7os:
Glad to hear you got it worked out. And if you like go launcher, then you'll probably like setting themes with the included 'theme chooser' app included with this rom.

There's tons of good themes out there and it's so easy to find and switch between them.

Just do a market search for 'cm7 theme' and see what pops up.

There's also a very deep forum devoted to the theme chooser in the general android forums.

Much love my friends

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
Could anyone offer me any insight as to why my boot time is really long with this rom? I'm only referring to the white splash "HTC Incredible" screen. The boot animation part is nice and quick. I haven't timed it, but it seems I'm stuck on the white splash screen for 30-40 seconds each reboot. I know I know first world problems but it isn't this long on other AOSP roms and I've tried flashing clean but the long boot persists. Any ideas?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
What mods do you run, some tend to slow things down a bit. Also i've heard where auto zip-aligning roms slow down boot but i have no idea if this is one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
I have lock screen modded with ics rings, roboto font, ics screen transitions, ics sounds to name the flashed ones I believe.

Does anyone have a mirror for this ROM? Want to give it a try and the download link doesn't work. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Try again; the link is working. By the way, this is a great ROM!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
Going to play around with this for a while. :D Can anyone point out an ICS theme that will work with this ROM for me please. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sonny.theme.ics&hl=en

should work since this rom has CM7 base
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
Thanks!!!! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nyonya:
Been running this for the second day now, does seem very quick and stable. One issue I'm having is that screen autorotation seems to be enabling itself - I have it set to be disabled most of the time, with AutomateIt enabling it when I launch either Maps, Navigation or Gallery. Anyone with any idea why it would randomly become enabled when I haven't launched those applications?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nyonya:
Disregard this, it was an issue with the app. Everything running as expected now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fergusonfox7:
Whats the difference between this and CM7? I flashed a while ago, and didn't see much of a difference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabeakster:
CM7 came with ADW launcher. Inc-Deck has vanilla launcher. That is about all I found different, as far as features. Oh well, I prefer Go launcher over both of those two choices anyway.

But the one truly meaningful difference that I found is...

I don't have the freezing and FC's that I had with CM7... and that is why I use Inc-Deck. CM felt a little faster (and I did try quadrant score just to see... and CM was faster). But still, Inc-Deck is certainly fast enough. And since Inc-Deck does not freeze up (or force close the launcher, browser, and everything else sometimes) it works out to be a far better experience, at least that is my opinion.

another bonus...

Since I installed Inc-Deck, I haven't wasted a minute of my life trying any new ROMs... roughly two months now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Two months? Wow. I switch every other day! What's the battery life like compared to cm7? What's your average battery life?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] whozamazinka:
Yeah, I have to agree with iowabeakster. I was changing ROMs every day or so until I found inc-deck. I've been using it for more like 6 months! (maybe more) It's awesome, and it just seems to run better for me than CM7. (Nothing against CM7...it's great too.) Also, I don't have to worry about nightlies, like I'm missing some big upgrade or something. Purely mental for me, but I like knowing that inc-deck 1.3 is 'final'. It gives me peace of mind not having to chase newer builds. (Again, that has more to do with my own neurosis, and nothing against CM7.)

As far as battery life goes, I'm a pretty light user, but I pull my phone off the charger around 7:45am, and it goes back on around 11-12pm with somewhere between 10-30% charge left, depending on how much I've used it during the day. I couldn't ever seem to stretch it that far on a sense rom...even one of the stripped down sense roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
I'm the same way, it would be nice to be on a 'final' ROM so I don't need to worry about missing out on anything. :p I'll flash this later - thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
I've been running this rom and OMGB for the last 3-4 months consistently. I retired from sense for these. I love this rom because it debloated CM7 which I feel is a strange thing to say but its true. I have been using OMGB more though because i like the pure bare bones of android.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
How does OMGB compare to the battery life of cm7?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabeakster:
I would argue that (essentially) battery life could be assumed as equal on any of these ASOP ROMs. Although I've never used OMGB, I am just making assumptions based on the ROMs I have tried (including CM and Deck).

Any ROM could yield extremely good (or bad) battery life... it's all up to you.

Which kernel?

how to configure kernel?

what communications are being used? signal strength? sync frequencies?

etc...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
Hows this rom compared to Pete's bb? Thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
Well to start, It is a modded cm7 so it has all the bell and whistles that come with cm7 but it is a bit more optimized. CM7 could feel chunky at times but this one is much smoother. also it comes with the stock launcher, no adw mess.

BB has issues with its emmc storage stuff and it has a naggy issue in the add menu and it is very stock, as in no advanced power menu options. Personally, BB is a hot rod of a rom and is very fast but like I said it has issues.

If you want a really well done stock AOSP rom go with OMGB over beast. But as for customized roms, Inc-Deck is the best AOSP rom and it is the only rom I consistently use nowadays.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
I'm not one to rush into a new ROM, having used only 2 so far - Wildstangs OTA, and Joelz PrimeXL. But I found my next one. I was looking at another Sense 3.5, but I'm sick of the lag and constant reboots. So I'm going to try this one.

Do I have to download and install GApps? Can't you just get them from the Market?? Been curious about this for a while after ready other threads.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dymmeh:
The main purpose of Gapps is to flash the market onto your phone. A stock android rom will not come with the android market installed so you need to do it yourself. But yes, otherwise you can download everything from the market yourself. Most Gapps will package the common Google apps like Gmail and YouTube
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Really? Seems like it would be easier to just package the market apk, but these guys know what they are doing so who am I to question. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
Also GApps contains stuff like setup wizard, news reader, etc.

There are a few apps that aren't available through other means. Also welcome to the wonderful world of AOSP and Inc-Deck. The best AOSP rom available for the dinc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drk.hd:
A big reason why is because CyanogenMod got in trouble a while back for doing just that, so now they're separate.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Wow loving this ROM. It's my first non-sense ROM so there is a bit of a learning curve - like how do I get the GPS icon in the notification bar. And there are a few sense things I am missing - like contact and clock Widgets. The latter is an easy find in the market, but the contact widget is proving hard to find the right one.

But wow this ROM is faaaast! And battery life seems to be blowing Sense 3.5 away with the latest incredikernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
Look up an app called Contapps, it has a few contact widgets plus a dialer replacement

I found that once I got over the little things about sense I missed that there was no reason to leave AOSP roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Thanks bukit. I'll try it out.

I read earlier in this thread that someone is having a problem with Bluetooth, but I only saw the one message. Well I cannot get BT to work with my Ford sync. It pairs but then says there is an error.

I will into it more, seems to be an issue with CM7, because I am not ready to give up on this ROM just yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Back to this ROM again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabeakster:
The GPS icon will automatically appear and disappear. The icon appears as your apps (like maps, navigation) use the GPS antenna. If GPS in enabled and the icon is not there, it's because no app is currently using the GPS antenna. Feel free to leave the GPS enabled all the time, it will only be active when an app needs it (won't waste battery). The only reason to disable GPS in settings is if you want to prohibit all apps from using the antenna.

If you like using voice commands in apps like google navigation... don't forget to install google Voice Search from the market. Then voice commands will be enabled in the other google apps.

If you haven't used an AOSP ROM like CM7 before, make sure to play around with the customizable notification pull-down power widget (Menu>Settings>Advanced settings>Interface>Notification power widget). You will really love it. Try long pressing the toggle buttons... it will short-cut to the appropriate Settings page. The pull-down power toggles, from the Cyanogenmod team, is alone worthy of a donation to keep them working on such great ideas (at least in my opinion).

There is a whole lot to discover in "Advanced Settings".

The only thing that could make this ROM better, is installing Go Launcher EX... try it. I am so happy with this set-up!

I really and truly don't care if anybody ever gets ICS working perfectly for the DINC... although I really appreciate their efforts and wish them success.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
That GPS feature is so cool! Even better than the notification widget which is also a winner.

I am looking at Go Launcher, Launcher Pro and ADW.

I just wish that BT would work...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Uh, fairly certain it does... Dumb question but did you turn it on?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Yep. It pairs but does not connect. Seems to be a fairly common issue with CM7.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
I feel like I taking over this thread. Sorry. There are two more things that I am looking for solutions to.

1. I miss the little red notifications on the message and email icons. I could not find anything in the market to add them. I tried a few launchers but I kind of like the base one.

2. I can't find a way to turn off the reminder tones. You know the one that rings to remind you five minutes after an email, text, etc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
1. The only time I've ever seen the red notifications was with go launcher notifications..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ralph0015:
Never have I had an issue with bluetooth on CM7. Streams metadata to my receiver and everything. I have never tried this ROM, but the Kangs that I run work perfect.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
In later cm7 builds with incredikernel, bt is fixed. You might wanna try one of pons kangs or the latest cm7 nightly.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
It actually seems like me notification sound keeps resetting to a default tone. Very annoying one too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
go into the mms settings and change the notification, it has a different tone set that is not "default tone"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
No POP mail?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
download k-9 email client if the stock app isn't working so hot, I get everything sent to gmail so I never use the stock app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
OnceAMatrixMan, you're dealing with some weird issues I've never experienced with this ROM. Did you do a full wipe before flashing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Cellulah, yep did a full wipe like the OP instructed. Plus wiped cache and dalvik. The BT issue seems fairly common after doing a search and confirmed in a post above. POP is not a choice in the email client, and since it is a work account I'd like to keep is seperate from gmail. The only weird issue is the notification sound repeatedly resetting to the default (possibly after a reset I am wondering - I will test).

I installed K9 last night but have not yet set it up. There is a lot of good here, just trying to make it perfect for my use.

EDIT: Oops my bad. PhoneWeaver was set to use a notification sound from my previous ROM. Since that sound was not in the ROM it defaulted to one in this ROM. Sorry about that. And losing a little cred at the same time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Okay, just was checking. Sometimes not formatting boot and system can lead to some interesting results... Hope you get everything figured out!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
This stinks. Love this ROM. It's smooth, fast, and configurable. No reboots! And everything works...except Bluetooth (for me - I know it works for most everyone). And I need my Bluetooth to work in my Ford. I may go all the way back to OTA. :(

Edit: Could it be the kernel? I'm using the latest GB Incredikernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Using the latest GB Incredikernel myself (11/27) and just tried bluetooth; worked fine. If you're considering trying a different ROM, perhaps just flash this one again for kicks? Sorry to hear you're having problems with it...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Never reloaded a ROM. Do I full wipe again, just wiprs cache and dalvik, or just load? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
In your case, I'd just do a full wipe. Who knows, maybe a fresh install will get the bluetooth working?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tyuteo148:
Can someone please post a mirror to this and the gapps asap???? Sold my inc and formatted everything including sd forgetting that I needed the Rom on the sdcard to re flash it onto the phone :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tyuteo148:
Anyone?? Need it asap
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
its in the OP...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Hey, been running this ROM stable for a few months now. Was loving it but today it randomly became unresponsive and rebooted. It didn't even launch the splash screen, just went straight into the boot animation before restarting... Has something similar happened to anyone else? I'm wondering if I should try, as many of you recommended, overclocking to 1.075 ghz, min 128. However, 1.075 ghz sounds pretty high? Is it worth a shot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
I run mine at 883 max with 245 low with no problems ever
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Is that different than default?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
Yes it is unclocked from default, default is 998 max 245 min
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Wow, and no issues with lag? Might have to give that a go... I'm really hoping what happened was just a fluke and it'll not act up again. Thanks for the assistance!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
my settings that Ive used for the entire time I've been on this rom would be interactivex and an underclock to 883 and 245. It works very well. No lag issues whatsoever.

Also make sure youre using the most up to date incredikernel, 3/21 ICS version I believe
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabeakster:
I run 998 max, 245 min with smartassv2. I quit overclocking too, there was no need. Over clocking did not speed up... anything... It will give a few bonus points on a test score, but nothing in real world benefits. So, I just keep it at 998. I do keep min at 245 to keep it from lagging. If I allow it to run as low as 128 min, then I get some lags and some games won't be as smooth.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
I really hope to see an updated version of this rom up to 7.2 when its ready. Does anyone know where kush ran off to?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
He's still around but has been real busy... My understanding is he's focusing more on the Evo than the Incredible now. Not to mention, he's kinda ditched XDA. He'll be posting his builds on RootzWiki supposedly but in the mean time you can just watch for them on Twitter. You can learn more about this from his tweet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tincbtrar:
Well said...good input.

I have paid versions of ADW EX and LauncherPro Plus but I will try and stick with the Gingerbread Launcher for now.

Stock is fantastic...Stock Sense is alot of fun too but AOSP just kicks for performance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stevefxp:
Has anyone dropped an updated kernel from Chad or anyone else onto this? Does it work?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blcklab:
I'm using Go Launcher FWIW.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfiniti9:
This rom seems to have promise. I'm sure a lot of people are interested in an AOSP rom without all the bloat cm has now. So far every AOSP rom besides CM has pretty much died before truly becoming a stable daily driver. Lets hope this one doesn't fall the same fate. BTW, I'd bet you would get a lot more interest if you changed the name or at least added a capital letter in there somewhere lol. Anyway looks good so far. Has anyone on the Inc had a reboot yet? I noticed the evo user reported one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
This ROM has more than promise. It is already very stable. No reboots here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tincbtrar:
Im using InvisibleK on it...the newest release. Its a little smoother then the stock kernel provided and doest run as hot. Also has Smartass to keep Screen Off low (384) so I dont need to use SetCPU.

Havent tried Chad's kernel with it...but I dont think I will either. I had great battery life but I was dropping calls left and right...And with the amount of calls I make its a no go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stevefxp:
Isnt the Incredikernel Chad's kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
invisiblek latest at 576mhz, 576mhz you say? Yes 576mhz max, 245min. just as responsive as max cpu speeds with insane battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
Only issue I have run across is that the usb connection seems flaky. I turn usb on (it sometimes turns itself off) but the connection is either very very slow or it hangs up. If I mount usb in recovery, it works just fine.

One other item, I use My Backup pro, but it always fc's when trying to do an app backup, but always works on the data backup. Works fine on SR and MIUI.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stevefxp:
Really!!! Wow thats impressive. I am running Chad's beta 11 kernel and it is good, except I cannot seem to contain battery drain as effectively as I could on CM7 nightlies.

I may have to try invisiblek and see how it compares. I am also going to re-utilize Viperboy's mod, as I had that running on CM7 too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blcklab:
Hope this thread and ROM stays alive. It may be more stable than stock.Back when I had windows mobile 6.5 ROMs got more stable after they'd been installed a little while. Not sure why.

Is Android the same? So far I've had no significant issues. In fact I think signal strength is better and GPS connects faster too.

Battery is hard to tell. I am in field sales so I plug my phone in whenever I'm in the car out of habit.

I also found the live Nexus wallpapers so my issue with that is gone.

HTC cameras are better. Hopefully if an Incredible Gingerbread release comes out that will be ported over but this runs like it was built for the DInc.

This phone has legs. I don't need anything new.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:
^^^

+1

When I read about all the stuff that doesn't work on the other 2.3.x ROMs, it reminds me how satisfied I am with this one. Great work. I've taken to sleeping with my Dinc since this ROM came out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottjb:
Been using this ROM for several days now and like it. It feels light, quick and smooth, especially with Chad's latest kernel. The Twitter feed says it should be updated soon.
