OK this thread is for the discussion of orthus ROMs. So no matter what version of orthus you may be running all discussions go here. I start this thread with mindmajics approval so that we may clear the ROM thread of discussions and questions. Majic will of course use the ROM thread to announce updates and such but all other comments or questions go in this ROM thread. Now let me say that the same rules apply to this thread as did the ROM thread and they are as follows.

1. Be nice and considerate to others.

2. No flaming unless majic sees fit after all it his rom.

3. Never under any circumstances disrespect the dev which is majic. Our devs work hard for us to enjoy custom ROMs with no pay. They take their time to do this so at the very least we could be kind and considerate.

4. With that said if you have a problem with the ROM post your problem without placing blame and either majic or some of us who have run this ROM since day one will do our best to help you in anyway we can.

5. If you have solved a problem you found please post your solution. It just might help someone else having the same issue.

Majic has worked hard to make this a great ROM so let's do all we can to help him make it even greater. I really hope we can all work together and solve any issues anyone is having with this ROM.

Before you post anything about having a problem please make sure you have followed the exact directions majic gave for installing the ROM. Also make sure to be as detailed as possible about your problem. The more info you give the more likely you are to get a solution to your problem. Also make sure you have read the whole ROM thread because chances are there may already be a solution to whatever problem you are having.

Well I think I covered everything. Majic if I've left anything out please let me know. I decided to put this in the general section due to it being a discussion thread even though we will be answering questions when we can. So let's make orthrus even better. Also feel free to post battery times but please include the screen time on pic with battery time pic and also which launcher you are using whether its touchwiz, xperia, or one from the play store.

Alright let the discussion begin....

All further ROM updates can be found over at rootzwiki... here is the link

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35685-rom-orthus-six-102612/

This discussion thread will remain open but the ROM thread here on XDA will be locked. Any questions, comments, or discussion will answered here. Also any problems may be discussed here or over at rootzwiki.... Hope you all continue to use this ROM and not let the change of venue effect that. I will continue to help majic answer any questions or solve any problem my limited knowledge allows lol....

Just the thread we needed!!!! Thanks Gary!!! Now i just cant wait til we're updated to 4.1.2! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Yes the ROM thread was getting crowded and beginning to be very hard for majic to keep up with so we talked and this is the solution lol...

I can't wait for the next version either. With each version this ROM gets better and better. Majic has became one helluva dev...

Orthos 4 has been a little bit of a downgrade from 3 for me. I've already had two lockups using Chrome (which may be the problem instead of the ROM) when I had 0 lockups on 3. Battery life has been just as good and everything is running smoothly minus the 2 hiccups. This is the 1st Orthos update I've done a full wipe for if that matters.

I also have some battery screens to post when I get home of my cycle running the xperia launcher. It seemed to perform close to Apex but since I was on data for longer than normal it's hard to tell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PsyCl0ne:
Hi guys so based on Mind wanting to change the default launchers, I've bumped into the following:

Lightning Launcher

Trebuchet Launcher (CM9)

Holo Launcher

Nemus Launcher

Smart Launcher

Apex Launcher

Now please keep in mind these are just options that looked good to me, but I have yet to use any of them. Just wondering if anyone else might know of some great launchers out there either available from the market or even from other phones for example the xperia launcher or even the sense launcher from HTC phones.

Some Launchers that I have used previously

SIII TW Launcher (Used it with Embryo)

Go Launcher (Used to swear by this group of devs then they started to produce ****. Go SMS was great as well until they decided to only be able to do SMS+MMS backups to their cloud)

Launcher Pro (Was great up to a little before the paid version of the app was released. Then it got way too bloated and bogged down performance of my phone.)

~PsyCl0ne
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Myself I either use touchwiz launcher or apex. I have used go until they screwed it up with the updates. I've used adw but really didn't like it either.

Isn't that what the Xperiance ROM is for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PsyCl0ne:
You know what I do kind of agree here but I like Orthrus. Might give Xperiance a go later but I thought that this is what Mind was trying to do here. To create a impressively customizable rom that had a ton of kick and stability with the battery life being icing on the cake. Correct me if I am wrong but that's just the vibe I got...

~PsyCl0ne
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Yup :D

Orthus is meant to be more of a pure AOKP with battery tweaks, alternative launchers, and additional customization options. Lean and mean. I love the Sony album though

100% correct
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ganja_guru:
Lol everyone seems to be spelling it wrong and it's driving me nuts. It's "Orthus" people, only mind got the spelling right so far !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Haha! I thought I was the only one this anal about grammar and spelling!

I liked ADW Launcher until ics came out, then I went to the paid version of apex because it just worked better. Haven't looked back and I own the pro version of adw too. I'm now using Nova because it was 25 cents on the play store for a while and, I must say, the paid version is awesome as it does backups of your homescreens which include widgets. This is something Apex has yet to incorporate. I realize that Majick could not include the paid version of any launcher due to the pirating issue, but I highly recommend buying nova if you flash a lot of ROMs like myself. Makes setup across ROMs much less time consuming.

Launcher Pro was really good for a while, but I believe the development hasn't released an update for a really long time and people were saying that it wasn't compatible with ics so I doubt it would play well with the almighty Orthus.

Holo launcher is nice. It was bundled in with one of the ROMs I flashed. It's pretty snappy but, since I have the paid version of apex and nova, I left it for them.

Just my two cents.

I'm so used to people spelling my name "John" when it's really "Jon" that any misspelling or grammatical errors as totally lost on me.

Even my username is a deliberate misspelling of the word "magic". Alexander Crowley deliberately misspelled the original word to "magick" so he could differentiate his meaning from the original meaning. And of course my version is deliberately misspelled because I mean something different too lol

I choose reboot option in power menu. Phone powers down a few seconds. Vibrates then Samsung screen. Power down vibrate then Samsung screen. Power down vibrates then Samsung screen and finally boot animation and phones boots on third try.

Happened to me just after I got everything setup the way I wanted it and changed the theme... Haven't rebooted since though. Will try and post back.

Edit: just tried rebooting from power menu. Went down and came back up right away. Although I think powering down took a little longer to do and I noticed that the boot animation didn't snap up right away. It almost appeared like it was going to boot loop.

Mind, this would be awesome to have http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...bility-to-remove-apps-from-the-all-apps-list/

I figured it out gary.

I'm going to have to release a patch later, when I'm not working.

1. Go in to "system/etc/init.d".

2. Delete two files- one called CPU and one called GOV.

The stock kernel isnt playing nice with my governor tweaks.

I'm gonna repost this in the main threads until I can get the patch out.

I believe that was an august version correct? The update is for a 10/11 version and also comes in a version labeled "picasa". I know the 3MP thing was a result of the august version enabling picasa web sync at the expense of the 3MP camera. So maybe this version has something to do with that?

The version labeled picasa has the picasa web sync enabled so you are probably right.
