[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akashpatel:
Really smooth rom...

By far the smoothest 4.2.2 rom i have ever used on our pico....

Didnt find any bugs yet(hope that i dont find any too) but will surely report one if i find...

i will post a more detailed review tomorrow or day after(Tomorrow i have my final CIE AS english exam so need to study now)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] vale amicis:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] IronFistYo:
Oops...

Limited to 8 thanks..

Will try this put and post review If I get time.. Good work brother.. Thanks.. :thumbup:

@ Red Devil and others..

First,great ROM, looks very nice and smooth ..:good:

Memory script mounts2sd works perfect, everything works for now..

Just awesome :D

Hey is the wifi toggle freezing problem fixed in this?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
nope. i experimented a lot with it.. testing out what immortal yash was doing with it .. to no avail..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] oblikas:
Well done,bro :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] wsdyleon:
very smooth！like it！

but i think some features is repeating among the aopk，and revolt and so on
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sonulohani:
Where is the performance tab in setting?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Its not there in revolt 4.3 ...I didn't remove it. You can use 3rd party apps.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sonulohani:
Its Okay. I just want to check whether the kernel is oc or not and i have checked it using SetCPU. Bluetooth is still buggy. Let me check other component also.

Meanwhile which one is best ROM Open Kang or Revolt?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
I have mentioned that I have included GPU oc in the build. I have mentioned that in the op. Read it thoroughly please.You cannot use setcpu to check for that gpu oc. Only CPU oc causes nand burn.

As far as best ROM is considered. There is no such thing as best ROM.

Try all ROMs and check which suits you the best.

Everyone tries their best to churn out good ROMs. There cannot be a greater insult than Rating their ROMs and classifying their work.

That is my perspective.

We don't need no flaming and abuses regarding which ROM is best or worst.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sonulohani:
Okay i understood.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] klaver30:
I have a problem with mount2sd. Everytime i do a restart i loose my installed apps. Anyone a solution?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] trygor:
Very nice and smooth ROM. I think i'm gonna u se it for a while, so far no random reboots an allmost every feature work fine. Great Job!!!:good:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] trygor:
I have found an issue that i dont know is it a bug, but sometimes the phone does not read ringtones, it only have scarabaeus tone but in root browser all Sounds are in the ringtone folder. This can be annoyng if we have our Pico in the pocket because it ring only with low beep sound and cant hear when someone call us. After rebooting all Sounds are there but after some time it's gone again. Hope i helped in improving of this gteat ROM.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] IronFistYo:
Lol.. Thats not stopping..!!

Currently on 108%.. :p

PS : Story goes like... U started the download and had 3% battery left..

Unluckily at 99% download, and 0% battery, the phone turned off..

And after connecting charger, this happened..

It has reached 115% as I am typing.. :p
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ru5l4n12:
please all riview :p
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Hi , are you saying that the ringtones are not read from the /system sometimes ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Please check the md5 before you flash. If they don't match redownload. You will get a half zip otherwise. Don't wanna be disappointed with that status 7 do u?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] IronFistYo:
I redownloaded... I knew some problems can occur due to incomplete zip.. :thumbup:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] trygor:
Yes, it's completly gone from /system, but after reboot it's in the system but not every time after reboot.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Are you using any script ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] trygor:
I'm not using any script, just clean ROM. And i cant find option for volume key to move cursor. I will try to reflash the ROM because now i restarted phone several times but still no ringsounds.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ankitxperia:
Can anyone tell me how to install s2e In this rom because can't install s2e in cm10.1 roms i am really comfortable with s2e haven't tried mount2sd

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
will look into the sounds thing.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] chat.fighter:
Are CPU/GPU OCs set by default ?:confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Only GPU OC by default. And dont worry it doesnt burn NAND. I have tested it for weeks.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pico hackr:
tnx man

rom is lovely , soon fix the blutooth lagging as early as possible
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
OK the Halo is getting cherry picked. I'm just waiting for the ReVolt devs to give me a thumbs up so that I can start the sync. I will probably maintain nightlies or rather fortnightlies after this if I get time. Ota updates provided for by goo. So let's see how that turns out.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] electron.hTcpico:
will this kernel work on this rom

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42412117&postcount=1071

anyway waiting eagerly for halo .....!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] IronFistYo:
+1 :good: :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Idk . in theory should work. But I'll build a new kernel inline with the new build so .. If you can wait for it that'd be great. Otherwise experiment.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] chat.fighter:
unable to download :'(

Tried 3 times,stops after 99% :'( :'(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] efuzone:
hello,

rom is good but i have some issues like how i disable lockscreen camera widget etc... another thing is pin code screen is showing very small even numbers not showing correctly and if i apply patter lock it shows small pattern
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
About the lockscreen camera widget.. there is something in ROM control . Please try and explore that.. I ll tell you as soon as I get hands on my phone . and about the pin.. I can fix that but that means Lockscreen Ribbons and the Lockscreen date get cutoff.. Cause we have 3 inch phone and cant fit everything into it..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] efuzone:
yes no problem on lock screen better is pin and cm10 hai better lock screen so try that
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] CroNoob:
for removing camera from lockscreen you can use lockscreen policy, it works with every 4.2.2 rom (simply disable it) :D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] efuzone:
can u tell me how to use lockscreen policy
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] CroNoob:
you can download that app from playstore (but only if you have flashed 4.2.2 rom), then open app and on the first page in-app you will see "widgets" and "camera" with ticker ON/OFF, choose camera OFF for disable cam :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] galaxyfreak:
I done a fix for cutted off PIN lockscreen month ago, rmember?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Thats the one . It cuts off somestuff from the lockscreen
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] efuzone:
from where i will get that fix.. i need it rest everything is fine
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] efuzone:
Hello,

I think developer has stopped working for this ROM and also no fix provided for my issue :(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] talhadabest:
great work ! this has a memory script??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Hi,

If I wanted to stop development on this ROM , I would just close the thread.

I am just having some problems with my laptop and a few other issues with the build.

You are free to move on to another ROM. I will release my new build only when I have all things setup and everything is alright with my computer.

Cheers.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] efuzone:
Hello,

I am sorry I did not mean it and I don't want to hurt you sir.. All i mean is from the developer or support we did not get replied and no activity in this thread so I just guess maybe developer moved himself.. It happens sometime people change device and stop working for old devices. I am again saying I did not mean to hurt you.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Bump .. Now updated the ROM to latest Source..

This is an official Nightly.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] wsdyleon:
same problem to me：pop out the tips “setting up stop ”all the time。

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Sorry , can you please tell more clearly ?

Wipe clean and then flash.

Wipe everything except external SD Card.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] wsdyleon:
i cleaned all.the phone worked.

sorry to spam the little ram
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] @rcane:
Kernel

Hey all.

People who using this ROM here is the oced kernel which is based on cute_price new safe method.

First you need to follow this procedure to partitioning your SD card exactly in the same sequence as show in OP thread.

Follow upto step one only. Then download below zip and replace boot.img inside the revolt ROM zip with my uploaded boot.img. And also replace bcmdhd.ko in /system/lib/modules.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Thanks [MENTION=5048141]@rcane[/MENTION] ... BTW people I will keep publishing a few builds every few days if I have the time. Check my goo.im page for the newest build.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] talhadabest:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Yeah 4.4 is a bad upload.

Sorry my bad.

I built it then with my half mind I thought of uploading it. Will upload a new build soon.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] talhadabest:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dhrumangajjar:
Lags????? :facepalm:

Actually I Dont know why,

But it laags like hell on my pico

Maybe fault of some kernel things

can you suggest me the best kernel to use without partitioning SD card?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dhrumangajjar:
No suggestions???
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
For me it doesn't lag. I won't suggest any kernel. Try to experiment. This is practically the same kernel as all 4.2 ROM kernels.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
about the new build. I'll upload one soon as soon as I get time. My computer well is not of the best specs and takes sometime to compile a ROM. I m eager for releasing this next build cause I myself have contributed a lot of changes in the ROM team. Not just in features Even under the hood. But don't get the time .

No man . :) You are not irritating.

Just that , sound mods and stuff , I cannot help cause many of them don't even work on our phone. Hope you didn't feel bad. Its not a ROM bug to say the least.

I am having a lot of trouble with my computer. Can't even build a ROM cause of the lack of space as well as busy with real world stuff.

I will update the ROM soon. I am glad you like the ROM.

I am disappointed by sony's delayed Jelly Bean upgrade.

Also my phone has almost completed a year. So I am willing to install a good Custom mode.

Please suggest me one with the maximum compatibility, (minimum bugs).

Also suggest step-by-step guide. I am doing it first time you see. ;)

Also can I revert back to official release by flashing my device? Provide some info. on that too. :)

Kindly redirect me to appropriate link. :)

There are so many posts with similar topics, I need a step-by-step guide for Installing a stable/most popular mod.

Is is Android 4.2.2 with cyanogen 10.1?

I read that several thing are not working. (like fm etc.. ) in that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] isht97:
If you have a locked bootloader you can only flash stock based Custom Roms. On the other hand an unlocked bootloader does widen your choices (like CM,PAC,AOKP,etc) but as Pannekoek28 said it does increases the chances of bricking your phone.

IT'S AGAINST THE FORUM POLICY TO POST QUESTIONS LIKE WHICH ROM OR KERNEL IS THE BEST, SO YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION AND FIND OUT YOURSELF AND ALSO YOU HAVE POSTED YOUR QUESTION IN THE WRONG SECTION.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Tijmen:
Wrong section, should have been Q&A. And if you'd have done research you wouldn't have to ask this kind of questions.

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking your time to look at this thread.

I can call myself as a newbie here but I have done long time reading here in xda so I know little things rather than a total noob.

My problem is today I flashed marmite-bigmem kernel on stock JB 4.1.2 Nexus S(I9020T) and all the punchy colors it had before has gone low. its like having a low resolution phone rather than a AMOLED. so any of you could explain what could probably went wrong here and any method of how to fix this would be soo much appreciated. Thank you very much again.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tibibond:
hello! i m looking to buy a new phone for my mother, for her birthday and I decided to buy anxperia U or an galaxy ace2, but i m seriously considering xperia U for now! i would like to know from you guys how is the phone on ics? does it lag? is the battery any good? i will not hack the phone to install any rom or anything, because she will use it only for photos, calls, browsing, facebook and maybe viber calls when i m a broad!

let me know what should i buy!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wiplive:
None of it, if you're not going to install custom ROM. Sony's ICS is slower than my turtle, and Ace 2 AFAIK isn't much faster (considering 800 vs 1000 mhz for U)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
Sony xperia u with the ics firmware lags a lot on phonecalls, actually the main work a phone should do. It has a good battery life. On my xperia u I am facing problems with viber but I don't know if it's because of my settings to be honest. Facebook, browsing etc work fine.

Don't know much about Samsung mate.

If I were you I would take a look on Xperia p also if you can find it in a decent price. Here in Italy Sony xperia u and p have almost the same price now plus Xperia p is upgradable to jb and seems to fly.

If you decide to go for xperia u I suggest you to downgrade it to gb
