Sorry but I don't really want any additional undervolting baked in the ROM. Incredikernel is already undervolted as it is now.

If you want to undervolt make it a flashable zip. I just want to minimize issues that would be blamed on the kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Score! :)

Agreed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Understandable Tiny. It was mostly a test build to test the script out as much as possible. It will be an optional addon in the next version and the values will be changed a little.

Yea, the dark theme will be available at a later build...probably next week if it doesn't take too long.

After looking at the results and someone mentioning Treb, I decided that Trebuchet would be the best one to include since Nova and Apex are split right down the middle.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I think that might have been me ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
Hanger would it be safe to flash this zip on your ROM to get rid of the remaining orange stuff in ICS?

[THEME/MOD] ICS ROMS - Orange/Green becomes Blue
[Droid Incredible Android Development] miketwoms:
that new AOKP build looks pretty cool, and count me as a fan of the dark MMS [even though I scrap it and use Handcent], Calculator, and Contacts apps, as well as the stock launcher.

Thanks for picking up the ICS on Incredible ball and running with it, Hanger. I really dig what you're doing with this ROM so far.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Definitely a fan of their streamlined status bar toggles and addition of images to go with the weather.

From the AOKP website: http://i.imgur.com/4qlR0.png
[Droid Incredible Android Development] miketwoms:
yeah, that weather widget in the pull-down is fire. plus the addition of a data to an updated toggle menu.

curious to see what this Trebuchet launcher is all about, too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
You can read about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410674

It doesn't look like it's been updated in a while, but it's still an improvement over stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Just as I was getting to learn and setup Apex just the way I want it. Sigh... Even though I voted for Stock can the launcher be left out entirely? Giving the user the opportunity to install one of 3 mods (Apex, Nova or Trebuchet). Just thinking out loud.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
What differences are there between the launchers? They all seem the same..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
They do look the same and I also wonder what the difference is too. I do know that Apex and Nova are still being actively developed whereas Trebuchet is not.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
You can still use Apex. Now you just have to install it yourself (or add it to the ROM before flashing).

They all pretty much look the same. That is to say, they all look like stock. The differences are all in the features that they offer...

Trebuchet has minimal added features. Mostly, it just fixes some of the stuff that makes Stock unusable by itself. Stuff like being able to resize any widget (not just seemingly-randomly selected ones) and the ability to have more than 5 homescreens (especially crucial for us Inc owners who are used to 7). You can consider Trebuchet: "Stock, Fixed"

As for Apex and Nova, Nova was first to the party, but Apex has now been around for a while too. They both offer a lot of more advanced features than Trebuchet. I'm sure there's a lot of overlap between the two of them, and I'm also sure that they both have 1 or 2 exclusive features.

You can read more about each one:

Nova: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389071

Apex: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452663

Trebuchet: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410674

Personally I use Nova. I like the feature set and it's from a dev that I recognize for quality (WidgetLocker and TeslaLED). He's also very responsive in the forum.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Flashed 1.7a1 over 1.5 yesterday. No lockups or trouble. Still getting used to life without Sense. Managed to install Juicedefender and Swype along with other apps. Only thing I've noticed is my charging led is always green when plugged in. Don't get the amber light anymore.

Can't tell if it's fully charged when the screen is off. Any fix?

Runs real nice, though. Using it as a daily for now, will let you know if anything breaks.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
I'm still using LPP as far as launchers go. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Blasphemy. I can't imagine using a pre-ICS launcher on ICS
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
Why not? I can make it look like the ICS launchers and I like the features even though it seems the developer has abandoned the project.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
I think demarcmj is just playing. We all rooted our phones so we could do whatever we wanted with them. Including using LPP. Though I much preferred ADW. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Not to sidetrack things...But what movie is that? Inglorious Basterds?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
I knew he was playing LOL. I have been using LPP for a while now and have stuck by it through all other launchers. I don't like the side to side scrolling of the app drawer in ICS. I also make extensive use of the swipe function in LPP. I really wish the dev would update it for ICS with new features or performance upgrades though. Meh, I'm still happy with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Does anyone else have really horrible battery life?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmsrefugee:
If you are using the from with HWA the OP states it has horrendous battery life. I use the stock version and mines OK but I think 1.5 ran the best for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
I'm on 1.7a - I don't THINK that's hwa..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
Im on 1.7a1tothesecondpower as well and I'm at 27% after 3hrs 37 minutes. Bummer :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Konshu:
HWA has about 8 hours on stock battery for me. We know this will have horrible battery at first.. but that is part of testing latest rom builds.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Mine isn't THAT bad - lucky!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
3.5 hours and down to 76%. Very moderate usage.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilangoadigal:
Very happy with this ROM! I'm wondering if it will be possible for you to add a 3G notification toggle, I'm missing that from CM7. Also Play/Next Track toggles would be really nice to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Using the bundled soft key app my soft keys were lit yesterday. But today I can't get them to light. Ver 1.62.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Next build, the data toggle will work, but tracking of data usage doesn't yet. Also, applications added to the unlock ring now works properly in the new test build tonight.....there will be a new test build tomorrow to replace 1.7a1...undervolt script will be removed and made as a separate addon...same with Apex and Nova launchers. And the redundant nav bar is off by default. upgraded rom base to AOKP M4.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] meazz1:
The build is running well with the exception of the camera.

After taking 2 or 3 shots, it kind of locks up the ph and requires reboot.

I am running 1.62 as is without any modification. Everything is stock.

I installed with boot, system, factory reset and devlik wiped.

Is anyone having this issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
Yes. The Camera is the only thing holding this ROM back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dubluv17:
Try adjusting the brightness from the notification pull down. They should turn back on. Then you can pit your brightness back to whatever it was.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] meazz1:
True that.

I had no problem all day yesterday. It was smooth as butter until I used the camera.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
I actually think that the back light app didn't have super user setting for some reason, because all of a sudden I keep getting SU alerts for it every time my screen come on.

Try clearing the app's data/cache.

If that doesn't work, you can uninstall it then reinstall from the .apk here

Otherwise reflashing gapps might do the trick

How do you re add the Google folder that it was in the home screen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] miketwoms:
add all the icons you want to the homescreen, then drag them one at a time on top of the others to make, and then add to, a folder. You should be able to name the folder as you wish by long-pressing it. that should work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Garrett07:
Lol I threw this bad boy on yesterday but I think disabling data when the screen goes off from the rom settings throws this rom for a loop, I'm gonna try without that setting just to see if it makes a difference but I have really missed this phone (had to send my iPhone off for service :/)

flashed this rom, I use my incredible as a media player/web browser all day and then the battery died, and now it wont even turn on, cant access recovery, fastboot, nada, tried 2 different chargers. *sigh* my comp wont even detect it through usb
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
I assumed you tried removing the battery and then tried to charge? You might also try a different battery and see if that makes a difference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Garrett07:
I turned that setting off, so now data is permanently on, however mms is still borked :/ don't know what I did but its not right lol gonna try a reflash later. However I installed the new apex launcher (update) and have a lot of random power offs. May have broken the rom somehow I'll report what I find.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
New test build is uploaded, 1.8a5. I added Trebuchet, Nova, and Apex in this one for those that want their pick of them. CM9 music added and working so far. Also included the Ext 4 mod for a little better speed over all...not sure if I will include it in the final release of v1.8 or not. Let me know if theres any issues with the music player or flashing the rom. Also, the undervolt script is removed in this build as well and from now on will be an addon that can be flashed in CMW.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Lol. I had just finished flashing 1.8a1 when you dropped this.

Anyway, some first impressions of 1.8a5 (after about a half hour):

Yay

New boot animation is kinda nice... I was never a fan of the Galaxy Nexus one

Loving the new weather in the status bar.

It does feel a little snappier, but that may be because I'm still restoring all my stuff. Or maybe it's the ext4 mod... I had never tried that before

Shortcuts as a custom lockscreen target work again

Bummer

It looks like there's still no data toggle [sad face]

Too soon to tell:

Haven't used it long enough to notice any battery life differences

I didn't mess with the undervolting so I can't speak to that. I'll let you all try that out first.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Konshu:
Confirmation on Camera?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
The camera works except video recording still.

Also, the data toggle in the data usage section works. I'm gonna try to move it, or make one for the status bar drop down.....also looking into making a toggle for Beats Audio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Konshu:
Ok cool. I will probably roll mine over tomorrow after my hike. Usual logcat via pastebin if I have issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chrisloveskaos:
and maybe a wifi tether toggle for stat bar?

great rom regardless
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
That's what (I think) most of us we're talking about... the status bar.

72's ROM had it as a status bar toggle (see pic). Since that's part of ROM Control, I just figured it was part of AOKP, which was why I was surprised that it wasn't in yours.

I didn't realize there was ever any issue with toggling it in the actually settings.

Anyway, keep up the great work. This is the best ROM out there for the Incredible. The fact that it's your first is pretty crazy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JuHJoh:
The different is HWA = hard ware acceleration

It uses more better but faster
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yelloguy:
Rockin ROM

First of all, thanks Hanger for the great ROM. I've moved from 72's ROM to this one since about a week now. I used his for about a month so I am used to random reboots and other quirks by now. I flashed your 1.5 hoping to upgrade later. But you make it hard by keeping all new versions in alpha testing (I assume that is what the 'a' means) and never releasing the updates ;-)

First I was watching 1.6a with interest, then 1.7a and now 1.8a.

Not knocking you but just saying. I sort of stayed away because of the black backgrounds in the newer builds too. Hopefully 1.8 will revert that to white backgrounds again. Whether its 1.8 or 1.9 or whatever you go beta with. :-)

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Yea, sorry about the alphas, I switched source builds of AOKP from 26 to 27, and now to M4....that's one of the big reasons for that. I've also been doing some testing of changes to the memory management, and other things as well. 1.8 should be out today, and I have gone back to the stock apps with the white backgrounds. I'm putting together the themed apps in a flashable zip.

The problem I've been having when I release a build, is that as soon as I finish uploading it, I have ideas and changes to add to it...so then I end up with a new version the very next day. The rom is only a week old and I've already released 12 version and that's counting the test builds lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greenteg:
That's because you sir are a phenomenal Dev!

Keep up the great work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yelloguy:
You don't have anything to be sorry for. We are all thankful for your time and interest and this thread is full of that sentiment in every post.

I am a developer myself and I know how hard it is to spare the time for these side projects. I feel a little guilty about not doing some of these things myself. Wish I had more time.

Then I would have a shrine dedicated to myself like this thread is to you. :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] prchohan:
Stock wireless tethering

Hanger, thanks much for your work. I am trying to decide whether to move to this ROM now or wait a week or so when hopefully a few more fixes are in (coming from CM 7.1). Quick question: does this ROM have stock wireless tethering?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
I get why the dev is using that site, but I'm really not about to sign up for another site just so I can get download links a little early. I'm antsy, but not that antsy. :)

Very cool. Have you seen that Apex is at 1.0.1 now? I noticed this build still had 0.8.

That's definitely a keeper I think.

No problems with the ROM itself yet. Haven't done any undervolting (want to see if I have any weird crashes first) and I don't keep any music on my phone so I can't really test the player.

Agree on both of these. I've always been partial to the black on white boot splash + animation, but I like the more subdued splash screen you've chosen too. The Galaxy Nexus one is great for showing off though. :)

One thing I noticed on 1.7a1 with the themed apps: The background would go white while scrolling in an SMS thread. Text stayed white though. Normally it went back to black after taking my finger off the screen, but not always. A little fidgeting would get it back to black though.

If you're not seeing that, then maybe I just need to wipe.

No worries man -- I know how that goes. Just keep a list, get one thing done at a time, and release often. :) Thanks for your efforts.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I'm having lot's of problems restoring my apps with Titanium Backup. I'll flash and then try to restore but there's always a bunch that don't make it. I think it's because my market upgrades to Google Play Store halfway though. But I've also tried forcing it to stay market and that didn't work. And I've tried letting it upgrade to Play and then doing it and still similar issues.

Also, after it goes through all this, I also have trouble installing from the market. Everything gives me package invalid errors. But that's not the case before I start fiddling with TB, because it obviously worked to download TB in the first place.

I'm pretty sure this is a TB issue. There are some people in the app reviews complaining of restore issues. Is anyone else having similar issues?

I think for the time being, I'm going to restore my v1.5 backup. Just for a little while. I'm gonna email the TB dev too to see if he's aware of the issues and if there's any news on a forthcoming update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
I flashed v1.8a5 over v1.62. Everything seems to be working fine. It shows the 1/3 incredikernel installed and not the 2/26 incredikernel. Also google play store keeps disappearing from my home screen. Camera works, but as before, I needed to press the button twice before it took the first picture, but then worked afterwards. I restored a couple apps from TB, and had no issues.

edit: Hanger in about phone,the version still shows v1.8a1 not 1.8a5.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deriq4251:
i tried to install this but on 1.5 i get stuck at white incredible screen and on 1.8 i have boot loop
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Did you wipe everything?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deriq4251:
i did exactly what OP says
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Make sure you wipe everything, it can be hard to miss something sometimes....I usually wipe everything at least twice to make sure. You shouldn't be having any trouble getting 1.8a5 to boot, as there's no undervolting scripts or anything abnormal.

On that note, I'll be releasing a new build tonight and it's gonna have one awesome change....not gonna spoil it. Plus there's an easter egg to find as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
While I disagree with the multi wiping being needed or even beneficial. If it formats, it's all gone in that partition period. Probably what's more critical is to be on a recent clockworkmod. I don't think ICS flashes correctly on the 2.x or 3.x series of clockworkmod.

I removed Trebuchet cause of a bug that caused it to FC. I'm gonna pull a newer version to put in a flashable addon when the build comes out of testing stages. I plan to make the addons for Nova as well, and have Apex as the default in the rom. Then if someone wants something else, they can flash the addon to add it and remove Apex.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Maybe I'm just blind.. but I don't see anything special..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
You don't always see the changes. Although, one thing you can definitely see is the new weather in the status bar pull-down. It's sweet (although I wish I could configure it to launch a weather app of my choosing)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Not sure why, but this is the slowest version yet. Everything is on a delay.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sd5500:
I'm seeing the same thing, although a5 was about the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] goldalex98:
I tried using both a5 and a6 on fresh wipes and found both to be painfully slow. Apps would take forever to open and the internet was extraordinarily slow. I went back to AOKP M4 and everything was snappy. So to all those saying it seems to be slow, no its not just you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Yeah, definitely going to follow you and go back to M4.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I'm fairly certain I know whats causing the delay for some folks. I'll have 1.8a7 out tonight and it should fix the issue.

As for whats different in a6, pay attention to the lock screen. Also, seems no one knows the easter egg yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhatt86:
I have to say battery has been pretty good to me but the only thing I've found thats sort of annoying is the soft keys on my inc do not illuminate at all. Other than that everything else is working great to my current knowledge.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I consider that a feature :-p

Seriously, when I'm using my phone in bed and have the brightness all the way down, those damn soft key LEDs are F-ing BRIGHT. I'm glad they're "broken" in most of these ICS ROMS.
