Simplistic ICS ROM

Introduction:

I assume some of you know that I was a xda member, but many unpleasant things happened there. I'm happy I joined this forum as it seems like it has a way nicer feeling.

Now for the real boring Introduction: I Made this Rom because I like performance, The very first time I got my galaxy s2 (which is my first android phone) I liked it very much, I even started flashing without knowing anything about android, I tried many many Roms but none was like what I wanted. I Didn't like bloatware AT ALL! I wanted My phone to use the least RAM it could, While not losing any IMPORTANT functionality.

This Rom is built on a famous quote:
                             “Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.”                                                                                                  
                                                                                          and that's exactly what I have in mind, and the direction this ROM will be going to with every new release
                                                                                                                          Also the ROM will be based on the newest leaked Rom available.

Read this: At the initial boot you will be stuck at a black screen, to fix it just reboot (you can use the reboot toggle too).

Note: If you can't install apps on sdcard use this workaround (thanks to teju4u )

1-Go to Settings and Unmount your SD Card

2-Install your Apps

3-Then again Mount the SD card ....

For Addon Packs check my blog, If you want something specific make a comment!

Warning: The ROM is installed at your own risk, as I take no risk if your phone breaks, or even if dragons pop up from your phone and eat you xP.

Hi Legend, testet your RC8

Im back to RC7 because
Google Music and DSP Manager are not working good together. Music from RC7 and Musik FX works much better.
Cam App stopps if i want to see my picture I had made :-(

[elroy944]

Aosp contacts is in work? And the aosp style for incoming calls is it on your to do list? I kinda hate the Samsung incoming calls screen.

[anguscmac]

Thanks for this great Rom...been on RC7 from the start @xda.  RC8 is flawless.  Just 1 thing...ICS keyboard please, that would make my day.

[LegendK95]

I'll try fixing camera issue today if I didn't work on my framework.
As for your requests of apps, when I get home I'll upload everything you requested

Hey guys I need some help changing the dpi.
I used rc6 and changed dpi to 180. Still am on rc6 as I tried rc7 and 8 but could not get dpi to change.

Kept getting boot looped. I have the paid version on LCD dpi modder.

Does any one have any ideas what I could do?
Thanks

[AirwolfUK]

Currently at 200 dpi

Used Rom Toolbox to change it.

How did you fix dialer to show correct size?

[AirwolfUK]

I couldn't so I used ez dialer from market with the ICS theme

Coming from VillainROM v3.0 (gingerbread 2.3.5) the rom is lightning fast. Got a really good score on Quadrant. So far all of my old apps that I've installed are working flawlessly. The email and exchange apps work great.

Only have one small issue which is the same as most other people. The image preview option in the camera makes the camera app force close. I've installed the CM9 camera but for some reason cannot select a different location (ie my sdcard) to store the images.

Hopefully we'll see a fix for the camera soon.

Otherwise outstanding work
