I concur, need a symbol dialog badly.

Also, took the liberty to post the screenshot myself, here goes:

Moar Edit:

Of course it really isn't "faster" than the GN. None the less, it IS fast. I was surprised at the fact it did better in 2D/3D. of course the GN in question was probably running stock but still, this is pretty amazing.

Also, keep in mind that this was done with a 1,5GHz overclock. I'm pretty sure it's as far as I can push it without it going unstable when I play a game. I've been on 1,3 both on this and Andromadus for quite a while and it was the most consistent value. Seems like all ICS ROM's don't like high overclocks, whether it just freezes (andro, jibwich) or constistently bugs (VQ in the form of graphical glitches - bit of instability).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Haha I'll post them again ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
yeah the CM music app isn't really working well

I replaced it with the Google Music app and that one it works perfectly

ps can you adjust the bootanimation.zip for the next release? (I posted it a couple pages ago, just adjusting the resolution from HD to WVGA)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Max):
This benchmark is SO wrong:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
LOL
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Ok ill change to googlemusic next, and yeahhh will do:) pm me what to do yeah, or else I'll forget:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
This is the first ICS rom that is really making me think about switching.. few quick questions..

-Does the browser sync with chrome?

-Can you record any video on any camera app or is that pretty much a device driver issue with all the current ICS roms?

-How are the graphical glitches in v1.1 now that you locked home in mem?

-Has anyone tried the supercharger script to make home bulletproof?

-Can we get swap enabled on the ROM? I notice that even CM based ROMs with swap, over time, end up speedy and fast and even get higher scores in benchmarks after about a week of "settling"

-does the data monitoring work on this ICS ROM?

and finally

-can we get TAZ a cake or something for being so awesome?

Seriously, i followed your last ICS rom development and i have to say you respond quick and give people what they want. You rock dude.. keep up the good work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Holy crap dude. How'd you push it that far? What are the clocks you're running? o_o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] beefynick:
I am using supercharger script and it works well. There is a noticeable difference using the script (not that the ROM was not fast before the script, but the script seems to make it respond slightly faster.)

This ROM is amazingly fast. I am coming over from Andromadus and this is quite a difference. I am even able to underclock and still the speeds are blazing fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
hmmm.. so tempting! bah.. only thing holding me back is the camera issues really. i use my camera a lot for work.

few more quick ?

-does fb sync work?

-how is video playback?

-how do games run? (shadowgun anyone?)

i may try this rom over the weekend. I'm running PyroMod 2.3.7 right now and it's basically the fastest GB rom i've ever run (its based off CM7). If i install this ICS ROM on Saturday i'll take benchmarks of my current rom and record boot times, game load time, webpage load times, and check the network and wifi speed, as well as gps lock time and report back :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
The newest version of Quadrant has changed the scoring. The Galaxy Nexus now scores over 3000! So as usual, it's an useless benchmark lol.

@DRSdroid

The stock ICS browser already syncs with Chrome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
yea, i know that, just wasn't sure if the feature was working or not.. good to know it is :D I've been following all the ICS ROMs from the start, but haven't tried any yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] beefynick:
I do not have the facebook app, so I cannot comment on the sync. Video playback works well for me and games seem to run perfectly fine for me (I was running gameboid and rocket bunnies underclocked at 844mHz).

The camera glitches will probably be present in any ICS ROM until we get the hardware source drivers or someone can hex edit the current GB ones. Igcamera from the market seemed to take pictures that are not glitched though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Can somebody test something for me; install virtuous quattro and tell me if the SYM key works? :))))
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogdan5844:
I tested and it did work. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Ok I will fix the sym key in next version:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ginobili1:
Just started using the ROM. Loving it so far.

The Gapps don't even have Maps in them, but still its a minor nuisance, you can always download them off the market.

Works fast and no screen corruption so far, except in settings (letters missing) but it disappeared on loading it again.

Hope to see more from you soon. And keep up the good work... great ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
For Music this app works better for me, but no widget....

Seem that, it does not read .wma
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dog'sGonads:
Funnily, I posted on the Quattro thread that my SYM key doesn't work. Someone said his didn't either.

Running a Desire Z btw, NOT a G2. Still running Quattro btw, so any queries related to it, lemme know and I'll do my best to attend to them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
So it doesn't work? :s
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aacrabtree:
Thank god you'e back Taz! No offense to any of the other devs, but you update your ROMs so much quicker than any of the others do. I haven't been able to install Virtuous in a month, it's been brought up by multiple people in the thread, nary a word from the devs. Downloading now, will let you know how it goes!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
so, should I wipe before switching to this ROM from another ICS rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Max):
To the max, 1.9 GHz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AntSmoove:
Not that it's a problem but the ICS browser + doesn't load web pages completely for me. it just loads them about a page worth then as I scroll down everything is just gray. but the regular stock browser works fine
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dog'sGonads:
It seems to work on most devices. But there seem to be a few of us who suffer with a useless SYM key
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Does it work for you on Cjward's miui port? Just asking since I have DZ and it works for me, wondering if yours will work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
i'm hearing this cam works well on htc vision ICS roms too btw

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DeathName:
Percentage battery status style is not working for me. Also after reboot :/.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Same answer here : on install why a camera app need to have autorisation for calling on paying numbers?

I didn't install it so...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
That's because the standard resolution is low so it's the same as shooting at VGA with the stock camera. If u set the resolution higher, u will still get artifacts.

Also, as said in the post above, don't install this because why does a camera app need permission to call paying numbers?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Any plans to introduce T-mobile's wifi calling app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dog'sGonads:
Tell you what, mate. I'm yet to give that ROM a whirl. But I'm downloading it as I type this and will report back with an answer.

:D:D:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aacrabtree:
Seems great so far, super speedy! I haven't had any slowdowns or graphics glitches so far.

As a feature request, getting the hold back to kill app that's in Virtuous would be awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dog'sGonads:
@Noneabove - I'm currently running cjward's MIUI rom and still the SYM key isn't working. Completely baffled by this as it used to work fine on CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
That's in there already. Settings - developer options
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
That's crazy, you have any stability issues? Used to freeze once I'd play Riptide GP at about 1,6GHz. Settled to 1,5ish for now, seems to be running well so far.

Edit:On another note, this ROM is buttery smooth and VERY responsive. The only thing that bugs me is that apex isn't as smooth as the rest of the ROM itself. But I haven't had a single graphic glitch so far so yeah, I can live with non-silk animations as long as it doesn't glitch.

Well fookin done mate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
try Trebuchet if you want mate, the smoothness cant be matched. the only reason i included Apex is for the customisations, im deciding whether to change to Trebuchet or even Nova
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
On both Andromadus and MIUI ICS, I tried Nova Launcher and it was SO smooth! The homescreen was smooth-ish most of the time but after a while of using Nova, i switched to Trebuchet (on andromadus) and found that Trebuchet was actually slower and not as zippy.

Especially when it comes to the app drawer and flinging through the lists of apps in there, Nova looks as smooth as a Galaxy Nexus on our devices o.O.

Also I want to add, a while ago when i used Virtuous Quattro for a little bit when it was still in Beta 1 or something, my SYM key was working. I have a Desire Z. I hope that helps. I don't know if the SYM key works in the latest version though because i don't want to put up with the graphical glitches in Quattro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Max):
It looks stable, but it killed my battery when I use it :P

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

I recommend Nova, it looks more smooth than Trebuchet
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dog'sGonads:
Y'know what's funny? I remember having a working SYM key while I was running the Betas. And the next thing I know, it decided to malfunction. Can't remember whether I was still using a Beta or RC by then though, but its never worked since.

I switched back to my Stock backup and also CM7 just to try it again and its working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Apex is fine but what I'm worried about is the graphic glitches...the launchers mentioned, I've tried them, and they all glitched out at some point. Nova as, others mentioned is indeed the smoothest...that was when I tried it in VQ though, I'm guessing it'll be even smoother. Will try now and report.

Edit: Just gave it a try and I'm rather amazed by the results...this is SO SMOOTH! Hopefully it won't glitch out either :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Please fix the signal bar, it's showing more bars then its supposed to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
go to settings > andromadus settings and turn off 6 bar signal
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Ah lol, beat me to it...

Also, anyone else using SuperCharger?

Edit: Ok so, from here, back to this other issue...apparently I can't switch DSP's. Anyone else that has both DSPM and Volume+ not getting the option under sound in the settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aacrabtree:
Of course, the one menu I didn't look through! Haha, thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RJx307:
Does this have tp wake or Facebook contact sync in this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AntSmoove:
Yes it has both
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] COA4178:
This is a great rom so far.. compared with vq3 and androdamus 11 this is the bestest.. the only glitch there is that the font turned black and others white which didn't bug me.. I think a work around is changing the font size I have to try it more times of it happens.. 10% drainage per one hr and half and so far is well responsive.... only probs are the androdamus gapps music app won't work so you have to download the google inc music app obviously camcorder which was already address but hopefully it gets fixed anyhow is all good.. by the way netflix appears to not work properly and also you cannot wake they system while it shuts the screen meanwhile the keyboard is slid down..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Neejay:
Man, I don't know wtf you tweaked, but whatever it is/was, it WORKED. I changed the animations to .5x, so this ROM definitely flies.

This is the first ICS ROM I've used where I didn't have a graphical glitch within the first hour of using it. In fact, I haven't had one within the 10 hours I've been using it. I've even restored all my apps as well and have been using it normally. (FYI for anyone researching this ROM).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyromana:
I'm really happy to have this good ICS rom :)

Can someone help me to add a new music for the alarm and the ringtone?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
xT4Z1N4TRx, what is the recommended radio for this ROM and/or other ICS ROMs in general?

With Andromadus ROM, people have reported good battery life (after a full wipe) but when i used Andro v11, i got ridiculous battery drain despite trying a couple different radios. I would STRUGGLE to get 24 hours under light use.

I'm assuming that since this ROM uses Andomadus' framework, it's likely that I could have the same kind of battery drain and since i always do a full wipe when switching ROMs, i think that battery drain (which others are reporting here) could be related to the radio.

Also, i ran a test just to make sure my phone's battery's health was fine. What i did was i installed the g2 slim ROM which is touted to have the BEST battery life on our phones, so that I could see if i would get good battery life and i did. Right now with the g2 slim ROM, i'm at 8% capacity with 41 hours after a whole lot of use. So my battery is fine at least xD.

I don't mean to be pointing it out in a bad way but it seems that this might be something for devs of ICS to look into.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
xT4Z1N4TRx :

About the SYM hardware key, you can try consult with cjward (virtuous team) on that. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Regardless of battery life though, i'm going to be installing this as soon as my phone runs out of battery xD. Can this ROM be supercharged without any issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
I think at the moment, all the ics roms are lacking good battery life. It'll be a while till they match gb performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ravenriaz:
hi thnx for this rom.. everything work great..

but when ever i start music player it force close and shoe error "unfortunately music has stopped" plz help..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
A while ago, when Andromadus ROM was in its earlier stages (v5/v6), i was using it and getting about 40 hours of battery life. So, something changed between then and now.

I just went to restore my apps from ROM toolbox since someone told me earlier that it's not good to restore your TB from gingerbread to ICS. The outcome of me trying to restore my apps from ROM toolbox is a hot reboot :S.

Also each time after this hot reboot occurs, after rebooting, it tells me to restart because there's some error with my SIM card o.O.

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Well, because i wanted to end up keeping my data, i decided to do a titanium restore and hope for the best. I'm not restoring any system apps so i should be ok right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Hey guys i just want to add, i got supercharger fully working on this ROM, it took some effort to find the fix but here's what i did:

1. Installed busybox 1.19.3

2. Downloaded latest version of supercharger (RC 6.1)

3. Flashed this .zip http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22389025&postcount=2039 , we should show some appreciation by thanking that guy for the .zip as it's what made supercharger work on Andromadus and on this ROM (for me at least).

4. Run supercharger like you normally would! If you need a guide on installing supercharger, use this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21118325&postcount=191 .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s09227:
It will be ok as long as the app is compaditable with ics
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
It might not be like that the other way... when I tried restoring Flash Player installed on ICS to ILWT CM7 (from CWM backup), I saw error in logcat about different database structure, and the restore process has stopped. Just a heads up...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
Perhaps the best course of action for restoring apps would be to install them via the market.. Test their compatibility.. and then if they work ok, restore their "data only" via TB.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dog'sGonads:
@Taz - The SYM key doesn't work on your rom either. This blows .. =(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CedricAnne97:
First of all, the original launcher sucks! Could you please add trebuchet? If it's possible, you could for example have them both so people can choose... Also,the music app doesn't work. It force closes every time! And one last thing, it's annoying that every time you type, that notification comes up. I've noticed that quattro doesn't have this. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Except for those things, this rom rocks dude!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Very odd I keep seeing people say music is force closing... but mine isn't! In fact it's starting up randomly at times (it seems, unless im doing it by accident somehow....)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] beefynick:
I am not having any issues with the music player at all. Maybe I just got lucky though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] COA4178:
Any idea or info of the netflix freezing and not playing at all ???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LikeaG2root:
Welcome back xt! Just flashed this and this is very fast. Had Andromadus prior to this.

To all,

I have tried Nova,trebuchet, apex, and ADW EX launchers. Was surprised that ADW EX is the smoothest and fastest of all. ADW makes ICS bounce:-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Yeah, all the ICS launcher-based launchers have some notable lag compared to ADW Ex.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ginobili1:
The music app was force closing on me as well. But I use PlayerPRO so I deleted it anyways.

For some reason I like this launcher way better than Trebuchet. No graphical corruption or hangs on the launcher part. However, I have the email app hanging a lot lately.

Also the keyboard lags like crazy. Its very hard to work with the default keyboard, its lagging all the time as keypresses are rarely recognized.

Otherwise the best ICS ROM I've seen, better than Quattro or Andromadus.

Great work man!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
For the music you can try to wipe cache date, close and uninstall it and then install the market version or another one witch is on this forum (example)

It's more beautiful when it's well integrated in the lockscreen ;)

But the widget is ugly and don't seems to read the .wma...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shadow-Nexus:
Hey taz or someone else can someone point me out to the thread of the cm9 music app so I can keep with the development cuz I constantly switch ics roms and I'm in love with the cm9 music app so..

Please somoene post the link

Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Just here but there is not really a thread...

IMO, this one take to much RAM for the desire Z...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Well, i restored all my apps and found that none of them were market linked. So then i just reinstalled everything from scratch from the market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Just an FYI, Titanium Backup has a function that's called "Market Doctor". If apps are not linked to the market, it fixes the links ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tenkely:
Anyone find any camera app that's working on this ROM? Link?

PS. Excited for next Wednesdays update!

Try angel camera works good for me. Download it from the market
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
People mentioned that the music app force closes but i've had no such issues. What i did have was IMMENSE lag that made my phone nearly unusable until i paused the music, which then seemed to fix that random lag o.O.

Also, the reason that the music starts and stops randomly sometimes is because in Music --> settings --> Shake & Flip Actions, you have the "Flip to Pause" option ticked. The random stopping and starting bothered the hell out of me as music would stop and start as i was walking with my phone in my pocket, i then dived into the settings, unchecked the option mentioned above and that fixed that issue.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Also, i want to add that battery life has been a pleasant surprise with this ROM. I'm at 20 hours with 46% left after a lot of mobile data use through wifi hotspot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
logcat had quite interesting output when I was playing music using the cm9 app..that being the codec rapidly hogging the log. Always had issue using it. Should probably revert to some older version or even go with google music

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Wednesday, that means that we should have Andro alpha 12 just before?

I'd bet Wifi calling inside, more tweaks, and less bugs...

Why not SMS CM9 app (if not as heavy as music app)

Supercharged not inside but could be interesting!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I can't seem to get mms to work, i tried reconfiguring my APNs to settings that i had seen success with before but that just gave me a strange bug.

To correct my APN settings, i had to change the "mnc" value in the configuration and when i did so and then saved the changes, that APN would just disappear from the APNs list :S.
