I flashed from GB/Stock/Rooted to Gummy the other day and I can't even believe the difference. It's completely night and day. My phone is so much more responsive and fast at everything I've tried.

No camcorder, call mute? and flash are the main trade-offs.

Amazing.
 
Apex launcher is the icing on the cake! If you're not familiar with it I'm sure you will love the customization and appreciate how smooth it runs... No force closes.

Anyone ran both this and CM9? Can't decide which I want to try next.

I was running CM9 for a while and had no complaints. Just flashed Gummy earlier and, though it's only a few hours old on my phone, it does seem in general a fair bit snappier than CM9.

Really it's the amount of customization you can do that is a major selling point.

I personally like to use the softkeys and I've been using them since fEICS. My personal little gripe is that the softkeys on this ROM take up a little more space than the slim softkeys I was used to before but that's just me.

If you haven't run an ICS ROM yet, I'd say go with CM9 to familiarize yourself and then if you want to customize more of it, flash Gummy. Or you could just jump right in and flash Gummy. They both share pretty much the same bug list.
 
As far as being "pretty" is concerned Gummy is hands down #1. Out of the box if you will it has some really nice tweaks. But I have wiped everything on gummy, and have had FCs, and shutdowns, and other issues. It's not as clean as CM9. Plus the battery doesn't last as long. The new boosedICS has apex, and the CM9 base, and almost all of the optimization tweaks you could want on ICS already built in. I actually scored almost a couple of hundred points higher on my quadrant with boostedICS, as opposed to "clean" installs of the others. As far as battery life goes, I'm still waiting, I don't like to judge that until I have had a week for it to settle in and to get my notifications tweaked and whatnot. I have a 32 gig class 10 sd card so I nandroid all of these versions. I go back and forth, and it's early on the boosted for me, but as long as the battery life checks out, I recommend the boostedICS right now.

This sucks, I am using a weight loss app and I scan foods that I am eating or cooking with. I have not tried Gummy but on CM 9 it starts the scanner then crashes. It sounds like this might be a camcorder issue and Gummy has this same issue also. I am thinking ICS isn't for me unless this is fixed soon :(
 
I use MyFitnessPal and it doesn't read the scan but doesn't crash either so I'm hoping the fix is coming. In the meantime I've gotten used to typing in the food. For me the benefits of ICS outweigh the outstanding issues.

So I installed Gummy 1.2.0 this morning. Running great. Battery use seems a little higher than stock, but it may just be me playing with it.

Question: I received an email from "The Android Team" thanking me for my purchase of a Nexus S this afternoon. Is that what the ROM it's based from, so when I set up my Gmail with the ROM it prompted the email?

Anyone else get an email like that?

I thought I would borrow the wife's phone,a Fascinate, to do the scanning, turns out hers can't scan JACK. I mean same app I have used on my DX all along for scanning anything, ignoring Lose It, and has worked great. Every app I load on hers won't scan.

I am going to try and get by but it hurts that is for sure. Just wish Verizon would get a phone that is worth a dam that isn't 6 months old or older already. Oh and no locked bootloader.
 
Has a few bugs, but all in all its pretty nice. Camera works nice..car dock not working..it mutes slacker when connected to dock. No Netflix, panorama.. but very stable.

EDIT: This comment was meant for the Boosted ICS..

Not exactly the same thing, but since switching to CM9, when reading comments on apps in the store it doesn't recognize my X as an X. Basically when I sort the comments by similar devices it doesn't find any. Previously when running MIUI I could do the sort and it would populate with comments from DX users.

I'd guess it is something to do with the device ID that programs look at to decide compatibility.
 
Tivo app doesn't work either, sees the DVR but won't let me enter a media access key. Gonna have to go back to a more traditional rom. Shame, ICS is nice on it.
 
I received this e-mail as well and was wodering the same thing. Anyone have and answer to this? :confused:

Going back to my .602 stock root.

It's a great looking ROM, but battery life it's to short for me.
I was browsing today and watched the gauge drop 20% within a 30 minute session. It dropped from 40 to 20. Just too wonky for me. Still have a bu if I wanna play.
 
Is it possible to disable the apex launcher in this on the DX.. seams to be getting more tweaky the longer its on there and really haven't messed w any settings... everything go,s landscape no matter what I do.. only reason I can keep the home screens portrait is to lock, it stop rotating back and forth like a week after installing gummy
 
Anyone else having problems displaying attachements from emails in gallery?

I just checked attachments via Gmail through Gallery and QuickPic and don't have the problem you're describing. Are you running a nightly? Clearing app cache do anything? Just a shot in the dark.
