I'm using Apex too, lot of customizations and it's free. You must pay for similar functions in Nova. And they also including new functions almost every day.

PS: Running 5.0 about 5 hours and no problem. Few minutes ago I've upgraded to 5.1.

Back light is working fine for me...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I liked apex but for some reason the lack of vibration when opening the app drawer put me off. I know, silly reason to switch.

Backlight not working here either until I put auto brightness. Continued to work after I turned it off
[HTC Desire S] xantan:
Include this Rom german language ?

Sry for my Bad english
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
You can turn on vibrations when you entering app drawer. Maybe new stuff?

Not sure if anyone notices this, but my WiFi turned off by itself a couple of times. Other than that, it's bloody awesome.

Hiiii guys I'm just wondering if this rom supports full screen caller id

Thanks in advance folks

Backlight doesn't work for me unless I turn auto brightness off. If I turn auto on, the backlights turn off.

You can change the wifi and mobile-data behavior in ROM Control! This is supposed to be an energy-saving feature.

I had the same problem with apex but if you go to apex settings then behaviour settings you can turn the vibration on from there
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Be aware, some games have problems and completely freeze the phone. I had to pull off the battery. Not very good feeling.

I have problem with Froad and UNO Free. But Osmos HD, Doodle Jump, Pocket Soccer or Plants vs. Zombies, are working fine.

Maybe there could be compatibility list to avoid battery pulling?
[HTC Desire S] fanatcom:
I have the same problem when you first start the game. After rebooting the phone, these games work fine

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
What do you mean by "full screen" caller ID? Like the one in MIUI? NO in this case. It's AOKP ROM and the dialing screen is the standard Android 4.03 dialing screen. It has big picture on it but it's not full screen...like 80% of the screen.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
I thought it so, I tried reboot and play Froad again. Same issue. After that I didn't try UNO second time, don't need to pull of the battery again, so maybe UNO could work but I'm not going to find it out.
[HTC Desire S] kaijura:
Back light fix > decompile your framework-res and edit res/values/arrays.xml and look for buttonbacklights or something like that. Lord changed it to 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 which works well for dhd but not you as those 0s give you no button lights. Fix them with stock valued you can find on cm9 saga git and recompile apk then you are done
[HTC Desire S] mzr9mm:
I fhashed 5.1 last night over 4.3 everything is running very very smooth but I had a freeze today when using the facebook app. Had to pull battery.

If gmail app force closes you need to clear data.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Maybe it could be connected with games freez? But I don't know, what could cause it. BTW I don't use FB, I can't confirm it.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I've searched an found instructions to do that. Unfortunately after doing this I got boot loop. Something in the framework-res.apk decompiling/recompiling process went wrong. I didn't get any errors but still the new file didn't work. I'll try to do it again. I've changed not only the BLN values but also first 3 from the screen brightness (initially 45, 65, 75...I made them 75,75,75) cause it was a little difficult for me to see the screen in low light conditions.

If I'll make a working file I'll link it here

[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
I get fc on gun bros and nova 2 works but you can't see stuff you'll know what am talking about if you have the game. And shadowgun won't download the data when you click download?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
After decompiling, in the output folder that should be "framework-res", you find the path "res/values". In there it's the array.xml file, edit it with wordpad and near the end of the file you'll see something like this:

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">
<item>160</item>
<item>225</item>
<item>320</item>
<item>640</item>
<item>1280</item>
<item>2600</item>
<item>5800</item>
<item>8000</item>
<item>10240</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>75</item>
<item>75</item>
<item>75</item>
<item>80</item>
<item>100</item>
<item>122</item>
<item>160</item>
<item>198</item>
<item>231</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues">
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessKeyboardBacklightValues">

<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>

The first array is to define the measurement levels/steps (based on the measurement of the light sensor), the following ones are for defining values of LCD, BLN and keyboard brightens (if your device has one...not the case with us), for each level/step defined before.

Initially, the values in file are different (above is the part as changed by me), you should put 255 to have the buttons lit instead of the initial zeros "0".

So thats the "code" part...after this comes recompilation, signing and zipaligning... Somewhere on this path was a problem even if I got no errors since the new file causes bootloops
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
I can't get any GPS working at all, anyone else having the same problem? I have flashed the aGPS fix from this dev section.

No icon and no GPS :(
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
There's said by Lord ClockaN that we should check in Settings - Location services. There's an "GPS source" (or something like this...my phone is just making a backup I cannot check) setting in which we should check "Use internal GPS". It's not selected by default.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Same here, even with a clean install.
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
bah just backing up too before i was going to switch back to an older version! lol thanks for letting me know I'll check and make that change as soon as the backup finishes and let everyone know.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Not sure where you've gone wrong, but i used apk manager and did not zipalign.

It boots for me and backlight stays on when auto brightness off and comes on on auto brightness when it's dark.

Here's my framework-res.apk

I would've created a flashable zip but don't have enough time.

Let me know if it works for you guys
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Found the setting, it was unchecked, I checked it but the problem is still there, no icon and no satellites visible :(

Unfortunately I use GPS quite a lot and will have to go back to version 2 (the last I used without reboots). If anyone gets it working please post how you managed it.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
after pushing your apk to system/framework i ended up in a bootloop and alot errors between the reboots
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
That's strange. It worked perfectly for me...
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
phone reboots, and after entering the PIN all starting applications are force closed (dialer, apex, camera etc etc... ) and it reboots again, continuing like i said. strange..

flashed 5.1 over the top and everything is fine again
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
+1 on no GPS signal... I checked "use internal GPS" but nothing. Even tried the AGPS patch but also negative...
[HTC Desire S] paulus123:
+1 on gps not working. When checking 'internal gps' it keeps on telling 'using external Bluetooth gps'.
[HTC Desire S] robba16296:
I have a accuraute location, but maybe due to the wifi,but i don't know. no gps in the statusbar...
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
No gps for me too. I used gps status and fix from market but nothing changed.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ohhh sorry guys...i guess LC has put some GPS stuff and it has broken desire s...lemme see what I can do :)
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
It feels rather quick indeed, however I think that's mainly because of the window and transition animation is set to .5 in Developer options. Apart from GPS not working it works perfectly for me so far. I've replaced the darkened apps with the original ones though; personally don't like them dark.

And the CRT animation is back! Yippie!
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
At times I get some lag on the messing app when typing a message
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Does Adidas108's version also have CRT animation?? I ask because i don't like dark apps.
[HTC Desire S] Brody5:
Love this Rom. Using it as my daily and am very impressed.. good job!! :)

Would be brilliant if everything was Darkend because in my opinion it looks better than the original. Class!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yep it does
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
Awww this rom was awesome, but i switched back to MIUI because i had battery drain issues on this one D:
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
@vampire36:

I know it's "your" ROM originally, with and without the dark apps. But how about placing both links, dark and normal, in the first post?

I'm sure Rapier or Adidas will keep on porting and uploading the non-dark versions, so it would just be a matter of adding an additional link.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
The crt animation doesn't work and does the face lock work?
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
CRT animation DOES work fine!
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
You can just flash stock white gapps from first post and nothing will be dark anymore. There is no need to upload two different versions each time

[HTC Desire S] croesus:
When mobile data was active for 10 minutes(just checked twitter and xda ) and my %25 battery gone! Is there a battery drain problem?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I have also a "standard" not dark edition but I saw no reason to post it since Addidas put a link. I guess mine is similar, just at the time I made it, I didn't had access to upload the file and post a link.

Now I'm playing again with that framework-res.apk, will see if the one from dan-fish works for me. I'll try also to replace some gps files with the ones from pre V5 releases that worked, to see if it'll be ok.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I'm quite surprised it hasn't worked for eyahl. Even though I didn't need to change it make sure if anyone tries it that the correct permissions are set.

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Same thing for me. Fortunately, due to my previous experience with this file, I made a copy of the original and I could put it back. Using QtADB is less painful for such operations:)

I've seen some errors regarding permissions. I try to fix permissions and see if something changes
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
Same here, spent so long flashing different ICS's that I come to the conclusion whats the point of a smart phone if it can't do some of the basic functionality ie take a good photo or give a good battery life.

I really do appreciate all the hard work on these Roms but I just want some stability on my phone for a while, I'm sure they will get it right in the end, so will try again then.

Miui with an ICS theme looks the part and gives me all the functions, plus I get two days moderate use from one charge.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
How come it is not working for me?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
i made a copy too, but i was not able to put it back, since i have done everything through es file explorer :D

i flashed the rom again and am back to a running phone right now:p
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Okay, now I can safely say that this is my favourite ICS ROM. CRT animation and the new AOKP weather, AOKP toggles but best of all, super fast. I hope nk111 releases face unlock and it gets ported to this :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
same here! I'm genuinely excited about using face unlock
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
any help why front can not working?

Button only rotates front cam
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I didn't test on this release (5.1) but on 4.3 betas, it worked perfectly. The only issue was that the preview was horizontally inverted. I used Camera Zoon FX, had a similar issue as you with stock camera app. Fixed it by clearing camera's app data, but it eventually came back.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes, I can say that too. Still, CM team is full of surprises (good ones) and for sure I'll try CM9 as soon as the major issues are sorted out.

IceColdSnadwich has only a couple minor issues, but I can pass by due the speed, smoothness and customization:

- No GPS working (for now)

- BLN not working in "automatic brightness" mode...and no way to customize levels like in CM ROMs

- Camera not fully functional to allow video calls in Skype (but this is general with all ICS ROMs and I believe we have to wait for official ROMs to solve this) and still have small artifacts in photo shooting. Also in last 5.1 port, front camera is not working (it was before I remember)

- full HW graphic acceleration is not yet done (issues in some games, playing 720p or 1080p movies, etc)

- storage space (in Settings-Storage) displayed incorrectly...the free amount is calculated right though.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Lol, most of the bugs you stated are in all ICS ROMs, just the first two are exclusive. Besides, CM9 is faster (but not by much now). I really hope that they can add AOKP stuff to their ROMs. They probably won't add major changes till it's stable enough to roll out nightlies for all devices, but till it has AOKP toggles, i'll stay with this.
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
This face unlock thing is madness, our phone has a vga front camera and in low light, face detection does not work at all, some of you may have tried this but for others who want to experience a fully working face unlock, go here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=visidon.AppLock

The full version has face phone unlock, free one allows you the same feature to unlock apps, enough to see it in action.

This will give you an idea of the capability of the front camera, you will realize that it's just a gimmick, until a front LED that glares onto your face is a hardware addition on future phones.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Whatever it is, it's working. Try to explain any non-tech freak android user (believe it or not, it's the majority of them) why ICS is better than GB and why they should upgrade. You can't explain hardware acceleration. The visual changes are gone under the OEM skins. After everything, you are left with the volume slider, and face unlock. Features like this attract the casual users. Features like GPU acceleration attract us. So, in a way, google is trying to make it good for everyone.
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
I get your point, for me it was just irritating (plus version), after a couple of days, realized that most of the time I had to override the detection and go to pattern for unlocking the phone and apps in low lit areas, and God help you, if you have settings as a protected area, 3 consecutive unlocks to send a file via bluetooth.:mad:

Can anyone please confirm if games are still freezing the phone up, like Asphalt 6, MC3, GTAIII?

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:

I had a very strange issue today which I haven't had on any other ROMs before.

While talking to a friend via phone the signal strength dropped to a minimum and I couldn't understand him anymore. After I hang up the signal came back (maximum). I called him again... same issue... signal dropped....

Anybody else facing this issue?
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
It could be caused by fully used BTS. When you are not calling, phone hangs on the best signal BTS, but if there are no free timeslots because of another callers, phone jumps to another.
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Just flashed the latest version, impressed by the progression, Asphalt 6 & MC3 are not hanging or lagging at all, in fact surprisingly they are running smoother than on the current stable GB roms & croms. :)

Q - Does dark edition mean, only GAAPS are dark or are system apps dark too? If I flash normal GAAPS on download from first page, will I get complete stock look?
[HTC Desire S] Tom Desire S:
Same! It used to be that I couldn't even play doodle jump :eek: But it is perfectly fine now. Thanks :D
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
Only Gapps (including calendar and email) and keyboard are dark.

By the way, the author's site of the dark Gapps is here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-in...pps-updated-3-7-new-googleplay-and-playmusic/. And there is now a dark contacts!

[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Any luck on the gps? Can we just replace some files?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Confirm. The dialer will be missing. But as I use RocketDial instead of standard dialer, it's great to have dark contacts. So I use it. If someone don't use third party dialer though, I don't recommend either. But on that site, there's separate zip for each dark app so anyone can flash what he likes

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes, that is great dialer too but is lacking a big functionality for me...T9 search does not work same as good as others. If you search for a string, it'll find it only if it has a space before. If you search for a contact named "Rapier" and enter "pier" it won't find it. As I have many contacts in the form of Name (Company/nickname), I cannot search by company and/or nickname since there's not any spaces before, just the "(".

Ok, there seems to be a difference in the performance of the standard and dark edition, vampire36's dark edition from the first page has no problems with gaming as I had mentioned last evening, did not like the dark thing and flashed Adidas108's port, old gaming issue still there, phone freezes when games start and the three button combo or ADB does not work to reboot.

Can you please make a non dark edition with the files from the dark edition.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
just flash vampire´s dark version and flash stock gapps from 2nd post afterwards...
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Did that, from my understanding of user comments, the gaaps part of the dark apps gets solved but the dark system apps remain, therefore had tried the normal version but there is a freezing problem there.
