Great job, superb ROM + some observations

Thanks for the hard work you put into this killer ROM. Every feature choice you made is spot-on. It's beautiful, it makes my Vibrant look exactly like a Galaxy SIII, and I'm looking forward to the updates.

As you go through the beta updates, I have a few in-use observations that may help:

As you know, GPS doesn't work without some help, specifically the excellent Experia-based GPS fix from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1550327 (mad props to Globespy for the file links). As so many apps need GPS to operate properly, this should be among the first items to get right.

My speed reference for ICS ROMs is Slim ICS. Slim ICS weighs in, fully loaded, 80MB less on the phone's ROM than RemICS. I do realize that no two ROMs are alike. However, functionally, I don't see much difference between the two, outside of RemICS sporting S-Voice (which I uninstalled).

Not sure if the large ROM size and the sluggishness are related, but I feel the weight of this ROM on my phone. Nearly everything lags. My references for slowness are always my slowest apps to fully load: Titanium Backup Pro and the phone's App Settings. Both are positively glacial with RemICS. Other apps slow to load include Navigation, Pandora, Chrome, and more.

YouTube loads but won't play anything. Anyone else having this problem?

I've only done one full battery recycle, so I hope to comment further later. But it's flying through the battery right now. Down 10% in ten minutes of heavy use.

These are merely observations by one dude with one phone. Don't take them as complaints, as this ROM is thrilling overall, and will absolutely be my daily driver. What it does well, it does extremely well--Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, phone calls, volume settings--the stuff you buy a phone for. And, as stated above, there's an easy fix for GPS. I'm looking forward to Version 1.3 and beyond!
[Vibrant Android Development] HeavyA:
The next release feels much snapper than the initial one. While trying the last couple days, I have been able to feel the difference. The ROM file is also about 2MB smaller too, so the OP has shaved a little off of it. Apps on the SD card are being read, but this is the function that is the slowest right now. System preferences loads right up, youtube works very well.

One thing I noticed as far as battery is concerned is that when I installed nstools, my battery use accelerated. That was with no oc and stock voltages. Uninstalling nstools has settled the battery usage down considerably.

My GPS observations are the same as yours. Out of the box it won't work (but geolocation does) until you flash the experia files. Once you do that, it works fairly well, although I almost always end up installing angrygps and fasterfix. I have not done so yet on the new version though.

Like you, my gold standard for ICS has been Slim, so it means a lot that I am using this ROM instead of flashing back to Slim.

The only issue I still have is with Google Voice integration in the phone app. I may need to try a stock ICS phone apk to see if the Touchwiz phone app is the culprit for it crashing when trying to play my voicemails in the call log. (the gv app works like a charm though)

You guys should be happy with the update when it is released.

>>OP- one other observation on the test build is that the build prop still has the old info, so "about phone" shows version 1.2 instead of 1.3.

However, that is very minor and has no real impact on the ROM other than informational purposes.
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
OK I'll check it out and let you know.

Hey....ass butt...
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
@TheContinental slim ICS is smaller because it doesn't come with the wallpapers, pre-installed apps and many other features that this rom has. Slim is exactly that, shaved down to the bare essentials and then user can add from there. The builders of this rom have worked hard to include things to give the look and feel of the stock rom on SGS3! If you want to lighten the load go through and remove things (I did) like wallpapers, notification/ring tones and apps that you don't use. The kernel that comes with this rom has a lot of tweaks that can be adjusted to the needs of the user. There is a thread that goes into some detail about the governors and schedulers of the kernel and how they relate to battery and performance.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420742

Hey....ass butt...
[Vibrant Android Development] TheContinental:
Thanks for the update on the update, HeavyA. I'm excited for its official release. I have one more thing to add on GPS: I still wasn't locking on very fast, and wasn't locking GPS after deep sleep at all. So I tried an oldie-but-goodie: GPSRestoreSamsung from the Play Store. That's the key that put the Experia fix over the top. I now lock GPS quickly from indoors, and in under a minute after deep sleep. I haven't tried AngryGPS and FasterFix. I don't know how to use them, but I'm sure I can find out somewhere. For now, this works fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
OK, don't know why that link is not working?

Search for Ref Schedulers and governors. I found it very informative and helpful.

Hey....ass butt...
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:
I can confirm the newest version feels faster, though I have no specific data to point at.

One issue I'm having, which I've had on nearly every ICS rom thus far: sometimes system_server starts using almost 100% cpu, making the phone get hot, slow, and generally unresponsive. Only goes back to normal after I restart the phone. I can't tell what makes it start doing that, but it may be related to GPS. Does anybody else have that?
[Vibrant Android Development] ajvasudhar:
Brilliant ROM

Amazing speed, are there any rom controls for this rom? I really liked the power saving functionality in SLIM.

I got S-Voice working on this rom. Deleted the old S-Voice and samsung TTS and flashed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667046

I had to manually copy svox to tts folder for it to work.
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
You need to tweak kernel for better speed and battery. Battery gets better as rom settles. Get the devil kernel configuration app, there are two available in market, both do the same thing just aesthetic difference.

SMS notification is not very consistent, sometime it shows in status bar sometimes it doesn't

And can the notification ringtone be louder, not as loud as stock ics ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] s13epy:
I recall having the SMS bug as well and same goes for voice calls. When you exit to the home screen during a call it doesn't show up in the notification drawer
[Vibrant Android Development] :

SMS works fine for me, loud as well. You might need to adjust the speaker volume setting. They will be dropping 1.3 on us very soon, a fresh install could sort it out.

[Vibrant Android Development] HeavyA:
That issue is fixed in 1.3
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
What launcher is this in screenshot?
[Vibrant Android Development] Xenoism:
Looks like either Apex or Nova

Probably apex? -- My guess ^^

Also, I've had no bugs with sms whatsoever :o
[Vibrant Android Development] HeavyA:
Apex
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
I used Apex with Gummy, really like it, think I'm gonna switch up to apex with this rom!

[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
BIGG13 flash MP's 720p fix and it should fix all YouTube video playback issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] BIGG13:
Thanks I had found that in the aokp thread and thought about trying it. Now I will definitely flash it.

Edit: worked perfectly with an hd modded youtube app

!I'm anxious for the update :)
[Vibrant Android Development] patrick8996:
Since the team is updating to a new version soon I will be calling upon my beta testers soon. This will be a full update.

Just a bit of info. I don't own a vibrant. That's why I have testers.
[Vibrant Android Development] nguyns:
Some bad features in this ROM:

1, When having a coming call, it shows an ugly and illogical black screen. I have tried to change that but not successful.

2,GPS not as good as another ROMs.

May be you should change these features of your ROM. Good luck and see your trying soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] patrick8996:
Version 1.3.1 Is in beta testing, A soon as I get the green light I will release
[Vibrant Android Development] ikehigh05:
My experience with this rom v1.2 has been great. I flashed the subzero kernel and gps fix right after i flashed the rom, and i was having problems with my video recording, YouTube, & gps in Google maps, plus alot of freezing up. Then i flashed the latest devil kernel and it fixed every problem i had with this rom. My gps locks are the best Ive ever experienced on my vibrant. My video recording works great, and the rom is buttery smooth. Great Rom & new daily driver !

Where exactly do I go for this kernel... What's with this new mediafire crap man? Can't it just provide me a link to the kernel? I already went to the official bible and clicked on the alternative devil link but it takes me to builds and archives in which I see several sub zero updates but no devil kernel.. Unless I'm doing something stupid I apologize I am just not aware of the changes mediafire has made.:confused:

I'm sorry I appreciate the respond but i'm actually looking for the alternative devil kernel.. I did go to rootzwiki and also found several add on's but i must be blind. I'm updating this for my father. Funny thing is I have remicsICS for my Samsung Infuse but my father did like the rom so now he want's it. The only reason I'm specifically looking for that one is because a guy mentioned with the devil kernel everything worked..

RemICS v 1.3.1 should be released soon. Still comes with devil .79 CMC (cyanogenmod color).
[Vibrant Android Development] patrick8996:
.99 isnt out on vibrant, Im thinking about switching kernels but I dont know what everyone will think, Thinking about switching to SubZero
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
there is a .99 for vibrant. i have a copy on my card
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
I actually I think v 100 is available for vibe now. I'm on .99d Its a small change from .99. I really like the devil kernel, it has alot of custom function and the new apps for it are great. I have never tried sub zero but a lot of people seem to like it. Either way love the rom, keep up the good work!
[Vibrant Android Development] patrick8996:
Where is the download?
[Vibrant Android Development] patrick8996:
Ok Guys, I hope you guys know how difficult it is to develop a Rom on a device That I don't own Nor have experience with, Please be patient with new releases Im trying to work out the kinks
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
(This is DerTeufel1980's devil kernel downloads latest)

finally, the new kernels are up. server got bit slow because of jellybean ￼

http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/divers/jellybean/

although the kernel is in jb folder, it ofcourse also can be used for ics.

be careful, maybe there still are not all uploads finished. also, there will be all kernels for all devices.

reverted 3.3 changes again.

as soon as someone ports the jb rom to vibrant, you can use this kernel for it. for i9000, everything si working (call/data/wifi/gps...)
[Vibrant Android Development] patrick8996:
I ported over a JB rom to my captivate yesterday for personal use. Its pretty much ics with a bit of performance tweaks and a couple UI changes

OK here is my problem questions will follow.

i purchased my gtab 10.1 in usa.moved to philippines.screen started getting fuzzy then blacking out now its totally out. samsung refuses to repair it cause they don't do international warranty.then i went to samsung office here in philippines asked them about repairing my tablet.i was told they wont order or repair my unit cause its not from here and against there laws.so now im sitting here with a tablet that needs 2 parts.(1) lcd screen(2) lcd screen cable (mine is broken).i have looked on ebay none of the lcd screens come with the cable. gotta love samsung and how they do their customers. i dont even have a way to use ebay now cause i no longer have a bank account in usa or a place to send anything to. so does anyone know where or how i might be able to aquire spare parts for this thing?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BretonGirl:
Why is it Samsung's fault you broke the screen? And why is it their fault you made the choice to buy a tablet in one country when you lived in another? I don't see that they did anything wrong, tbh.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickjt:
well for one you dont know all the info. you shouldnt be so quick to judge .im american from usa which i purchased my tab from usa. then after purchasing my tab i ended up moving.and what they do wrong is not support their products internationaly. also i did not break my screen. the lcd cable is what broke. the screen went bad before the cable broke so therefore samsung gave me a faulty unit. so yes i have every reason to complain about samsung and there support and product. so please read and understand before judging others. im asking if anyone knows where i might find parts im not asking for others to look for faults or degrading with remarks.

wasnt posted as a rant only trying to explain my situation.i already said what i wanted and needed to samsung . anyway i do have family there but by the time i send this to them and they send it in my warranty will be over. so i figured i would just try to find the parts i need and get it fixed here out of pocket.

Now, as I installed Whatsapp it added it's own shortcut at the end of that list, the problem is that I need to scroll the list in order to see it. So is it possible to modify these quicklaunches and for example remove the Gmail shortcut so that the Whatsapp fits in the same window?

My wife's phone has a strange problem of not showing the Whatspp quicklaunch for some contacts even though others work just fine and in the Whatsapps own contact list it shows everybody normally, any idea what could be the reason?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axjacosta:
Hello,

So I believe my Galaxy Nexus might be defect. I was using it without problems until last week. The problem is that it seems to not be able to get a good signal from the mobile network. I tried switching 3g/2g on/off, flashing new/old radios, flashing new/old/stock roms and kernel and nothing worked. I used another cellphone and put my sim card in and the signal was perfect. I switched sims in my cellphone and the same signal problem happened. So the only logical explanation I have is hardware failure and decide I will send in my phone for inspection. (I only included this info just in case someone had the same problem and can help me)

Now my problem is, I had "sensitive" information on my cellphone and I dont want anyone getting access to it. I am guessing that the people that work in Samsung are professionals, but I still dont want to take the risk. I have flashed a stock ROM and locked my bootloader (so I am guessing that they wont be able to know that I flashed custom ROMS), because of the flashing all of my data was wiped, but I dont really think this is enough to make the previous data be 100% erased.

So what app or software do you recommend for making sure that the information saved before is no longer accessible for anyone. I am running windows 7 64 bit

Thanks

edit: I am asking for something more than just format and factory reset option
