depends on what gps software you are using

if any of your contacts has an address on the contacts list you can open it on google maps and set the navigation path but then I'm not sure exactly what you mean or want to do.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZangadU:
i want to know if have a software that defines my current position as the address of a contact of mine. i want to put my current position to a contact of the list. for when I need, open the contact's address in Google Maps. could understand? Thank you for your attention :)
[HTC Sensation] Taker18:
Hey Guys,

How can i get on my sense 4.0 rom the dropbox 50 gb space.?

Any idea
[HTC Sensation] :
Umm, pay 10 dollars/month?
[HTC Sensation] Taker18:
no htc says with Sense 4.0 rom, user gets 50GB free dropbox space
[HTC Sensation] Waszker:
I thought that after installing sense 4.0 you'll get it, won't you?

EDIT: It seems that DropBox is not ready yet, so when official update will come you'll get 25 not 50 GB of storage :( And only for 2 years!!!

But you can always use BOX for android (50GB free storage), unfortunately the PC client is paid :/

Thanks OP! Always good to see something new
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Thanks for a other Rom Jamcar. I will be flashing soon and reporting back. Only mistake I saw in the OP was it said if u flash the stock repackaged it will take your kernel to fb15. It will be fb17. Just thought I'd point it out. Thanks again man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
my bad but thanks for that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
OP can u bake the apex launcher in, IMO its a way better launcher then nova ...u guys should try it out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YoungAceAtlanta:
So the TW launcher is completely removed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mypd1991:
What did you have to do to get the 160 dpi to stick, cause when I try to edit the build.prop the phone always gets stuck at boot screen and I have to restore a nandroid
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
Really glad to see more dev's coming for ICS! :D

So far this is just a little data speed increase right? I'll make sure to get back to you on any bugs once I flash it.

If you want us to give recommendations, the only things I'm looking to be added are INCREASED vibration (the low vibration is annoying because I can't feel it), and a transparent lockscreen.

I have ICS swype and Handcent theme in my sig, so if you want to add the swype to the ROM i'm sure people would like it :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
my avg data download was .3 megabits/s now its my slowest was .8 megabits/s
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
yes mainly cause it doesnt play nicely with the DPI @160
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MagPez77:
The DPI looks great on this. Thanks for your hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
added a poll for the launcher and whatever gets the most i will add
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MagPez77:
I'm not sure why but the notification bar stopped working for even after reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stang04:
thanks jamcar, nice to see a new dev here, i'll give it a go. i wonder if qbking will make a video...:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
really??? ive been running v1.0 as my daily driver for ~30 hours and havent had that. anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MagPez77:
Yeah maybe is a bad download or something that I did wrong. I will flash again and see if it was a user error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
holy wtf!

this looks great!

but.... im cornfused...

does this still have the bugs/issues present in the other ICS roms going 'round?

will this destroy my CWM?...

(edit: I wish I could take back a few thanks I gave out earlier, give them ALL to you, my friend. )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
it still has a little lag, so yes it has some but im working on it.

yes you will lose CWM unless you do step 5 while installing but then your kernel will be downgraded from FB21 to FB17
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
for the usb host there shouldnt be any problems at least with what i've found

<permissions><feature name="android.hardware.usb.host"/></permissions>
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MagPez77:
I flashed again and is working perfect now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:

music player is force closing after opening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
ok i will find a true fix but for now go into /system/app then find CM Music.apk and re install it and that seems to work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bdua3045:
alright..will do. thank you !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FrameCityJackal:
If you guys want to change the DPI without messing with the build.prop download rom toolbox, experiment change it back to 240. I find that app a ton easier to edit the prop change density and all

I dont get the whole changing dpi thing..Isnt the maximum resolution 800×480 so all changing the dpi sows im make everything smaller right? Dose not effect the resolution at all...What is the benefit of this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
An ics theme would make this better

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
yes it makes everything smaller. it makes it look if you the exact screen but (in this case) at a 1200x720. it makes it look 720HD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
working on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
I am guessing this nice looking ROM has all the little bugs that come with Feb21?

No?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MagPez77:
Yes it does but still a nice rom.

there is a bug with CM9 music but a fix will be out tomorrow

So the resolution is at 720p? Does this transfer into apps such as Netflix? Or just the UI is at that resolution?

yes even on netflix it mirror a 1200x720HD display
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tigio49:
the display is too small the screen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajs2677:
GPS is still a little wonky (a reboot seems to temporarily fix it), but other than that this ROM is running really smooth. Loving the resolution!

Edit: The GPS problems are the same as all other ICS builds I've tried, it's not the fault of the ROM itself.

Has anyone successfully flashed the Rogue ET recovery via the stock recovery? I've tried it twice, once on v1.0 and once on v1.0.1 and after reboot it hangs on Galaxy S II screen...what could I be doing wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piacenzaj:
I would definitely recommend using Odin or mobile Odin for getting that recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tri0xinn:
So I odin'd the stock fb21.. rebooted odin'd the rogue recovery kernel... and booted into recovery and wiped everything and installed this rom. The rom is pretty darn good so far.. been running it for a little more than a day. A few basic apps missing and still having the vm issue.. also having an issue when someone calls while i'm already talking to someone.. it seems to mute them or place them on hold. Other than that it's pretty darn good.. not sure if I'm gonna stick with the resolution but it's definitely interesting and a nice change.. just may be a bit too small after being used to the stock... I find myself squinting alot. Battery life seems pretty decent too. I could definitely use this as my daily though for a while and I just may..

thanks dev
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piacenzaj:
I really enjoy this rom but I'm having a bit of a hard time with wallpaper. The resolution is weird so it make the wallpaper seem super bloated. Anyone know a solution?

Access to Notifications

is very tricky to access the scroll down notifications !! most of the time I have to try like 3 times before the cell will recognized my command.. !!!

is someone else having the same issue or is only me?

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nwahsadude:
I am having same problem too, so your not alone. I am blaming it on the dpi change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajs2677:
Yes it is a little tricky at this resolution. As a workaround I set my "swipe down" gesture in Nova Launcher Prime to "Expand Notifications". That way swiping down anywhere on the screen will pull down the notifications screen. If you have Nova Launcher Prime give it a shot!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
enjoying the ROM. my only complaint is the notification bar is hard to pull down. takes multiple tries almost every time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moodswang:
I think that's because he has the DPI set to 160. The notification bar touch real estate is so tight you almost need a stylus to pull it down.

I also love this rom too, but no Netflix is the only deal breaker with these ICS roms that keep me running back to Gingerbread.

Good job though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
yeah. I find myself using the swipe down gesture on the homescreen instead. inconvenient to have to go to the homescreen every time I want to pull it down but its worth the doing change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moodswang:
I use this free app in the market called (LCD Resolution) that allows me to easily change the DPI. I set mine to about 200 and I don't have any problems with the notification bar.

I just downloaded it a couple of days ago so I haven't tested it on the ICS roms but it works fine on Gingerbread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
is slow keyboard common among the ics based roms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
do any of these ics roms support the wifi hotspot 4g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
go here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ballzdeeeper:
Really enjoying your ROM. I like the resolution change (never thought to look for such a thing) and I also had to assign a swipe gesture to get my notification area visible. Everything is smooth and works quite well. I especially like the Nova launcher.

My only problem is the batt life. Maybe I got spoiled with Caulkin's ROM, but I could use my phone all day (and night on the weekends) with moderate use and not worry about running out of juice. Now it's about tapped when I get home before 5 with light use.

I know this ROM is in it's early stages and the developer is working on it, so take my batt comment with a grain of salt.

Great job and keep up the good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
the dpi change screws Google music up pretty bad. just thought I'd mention it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tsjoe2:
+1

Also when I start using a wigdet, it starts crashing the calendar storage. it freezes the phone when it starts to fc on me. the calendar is important to me. other then that i really enjoy this rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
I'm gonna assume ICS is way to early in development to request things like this but since you asked.

Would like to start seeing the little tweaks like center clock, hide am pm, MIUI battery bar, hide battery etc.

Again, there are still plenty of issues that need worked out before we start thinking about the little stuff but looking forward to these settings to start coming around for ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
you pretty much mean TSM parts aka lockscreen settings but yes it to new not just FB## but all of the source to

edit,

i have already tried but i think that has to do with the kernel and there isnt a real custom kernel yet and i dont plain to build one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm sure these little things will come eventually.

Thanks bro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
bumped dpi up to 170 and I fixed Google music displaying song lists weird. apparently that app displays as it would on a tablet @ 160dpi and because we don't have the screen real estate stuff gets cut off. at 170 it displays in phone format.

notification bar pulls down easier also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
Now that the repacked fb27 kernel has been released, & it has init.d support, just pull Calk's battery saver script out of the rom zip, place it in /system/etc/init.d, change permissions to rw-r-r, and reboot. Simple as that. If you want to check that it's working open a cpu control app like SetCPU & check the cpu speed once the battery drops below 85%, it should be at 1000MHz. Easy peezy. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stparker38:
I love the look of this ROM. I am so excited about it but I have noticed a couple of things: If you are on the phone and someone calls, it immediately mutes the call without giving you the opportunity to tell your party to hold on. You have to ignore the call to gain your ability to continue to talk on our current call. The second thing is that it will not download any pics or allow for MMS without being in 4G mode. I do not like running 4G a lot because it drains battery, but nothing happens in 3G mode. It doesn't download music or anything.

I have small fingers so I don't really have an issue with the notification bar, but those things are a bit bothersome. I also don't see where I can backup this ROM in recovery mode. It is also as if it recognizes my phone as a different device/provider.

Yet with all of this, I hate to switch back because I love ICS. I guess I must flash back until some of these issues are resolved, especially the call waiting issue.

Keep up great work!!! I wish I could develop ROMS so I admire what you do!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajs2677:
After trying some of the other ICS builds, I'm back on DARKSTAR. Every ROM seems to have its issues, but I have way less problems with GPS and overheating with this one. Also it is FAR more stable than any of the others I've tried. Thanks so much for your work!
