Thanks for this. I wonder how this will rank performance wise. It's always easy to assume performance is better on a new install.

I'm guessing this only just fits a 200mb system partition?

[Guest Dovahpig]

Good job man!

[Guest trotil]

Do I need TPT for this rom? If yes please give me a link for tpt.

Thanks

[Guest gbosh]

I think 160mb system space is enough for rom and gapps

[Guest trotil]

@gbosh

thanks! yes 160 mb is enough.Rom is wery smoth and fast, no random reboots.

wifi tethering works with "wifi tether for root users". only proximity sensor need calibration... if is possible.?

[Guest tititj]

So camera flash working or not ?

 

Thanks.

[Guest gbosh]

Nope, and it's very highly unlikely it ever will on any 4.x rom

[Guest trotil]

I can't find options for proximity sensor calibration and settings for brightnes levels. Any solution?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Thank you for this wonderful ROM, it works perfectly. But is it possible to have battery percentage in the system bar like on cyanogenmod ( http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n4NRFf6bQk4/T18VEYfgiPI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/936dTW9Ho3c/s1600/Screenshot_2012-03-12-23-22-15.png ) ?

 

Thanks again !

[Guest dodgetimmy]

I installed this rom using a 160mb system TPT.

 

The rom may be small enough to fit, but with gaps is does not fit.

 

The way android deals with this scenario is just stupid, apps just go missing etc.

 

This means, because I installed gaps before superuser, I am going to have to re-install from scratch because I cannot remove the system apps to make more space! Doh!

GPS doesn't seem to be working.

 

This rom is slimmer than Slimbean!

You could try with trimed gapps http://www.mediafire.com/download/vti8xb50wb2awh5/lite-gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip thanks to Dovahpig.

[Guest dodgetimmy]

Thanks, it fits fine if you use barely any gaps :)

 

GPS is still a problem though, I'm guessing it just has't been implemented?

[Guest SCORE!]

Yeah, mobile data 'appears' to work but doesn't actually connected, but otherwise good job!

@Trotil Also thanks for link the trimmed gapps! (and Dovahpig of course)

Did you mean GPS or Mobile Data? Mobile data works fine for me.

[Guest SCORE!]

Yeah, mobile data. I haven't tried GPS yet but for some reason I can't get a data signal although I can make & receive calls?

[Guest gbosh]

Data works for me, are you sure you have your apn setup?

I'll have a look at gps soon and see what I can do

[Guest SCORE!]

Thanks man, just checked & apn isn't set up, just blank page.

[Guest gbosh]

I just checked, GPS works fine for me.

[Guest SCORE!]

I found T mobile APN and created a new one, but mobile data it still didn't work. Any fixes or tips available? I'm getting gps working in maps. Really like this rom, just wish the mobile data worked  :(

[Guest gbosh]

You can use the apn you used on whatever ROM it works on and just enter it in this rom.

Or just Paste any apn-conf.xml to your /system/etc from any rom were mobile data works, this e.g is cyanogenmod 9's https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_f-rFtMJSdjQVlqNmF1eVJnaFU/edit

When I update this ROM I will include the standard apns and the proximity calibration.

[Guest dodgetimmy]

Okay, now I have got which rom is which correct, I tested GPS the other day with this rom and although it finds a signal, I found the instructions were lagging behind a lot, the google arrow in navigation(google maps) especially. As an example, the application seems to get stuck with the arrow showing in one location and then later when you tap the screen it seems to catch up again

 

I am wondering if its just me this is happening too and whether there is something wrong with the GPS chip in my handset. Or perhaps my SD card just isn't fast enough or something.

 

The other thing is, if you take the phone just walking about, it can't seem to get a GPS signal at all and relies only on the mobile signal to work out roughly where you are, this results in it never knowing which direction you are travelling in because you go very slow.

 

Of course I am making sure at this point I actually have a signal according to android and that there are no tall buildings around.

 

Just none of it seems to work like GB roms do when it comes to GPS.
