Swagger is a placebo.

I'm sitting in the southernmost beach in key west with 3 drinks in my belly. Looks like I won't be flashing b30 till tomorrow night at the earliest...and that's only if I finish my school work quickly.

No worries. There are some items they say they are going to clean up in B31. So enjoy.
 
I'm extremely pleased with 30. I miss the custom lock screen app icons, but I'm extremely pleased. What I'm really looking forward to is the Nova launcher update!

i hope they bring the lag free camera back, i like being able to whip it out and pop one off really quick lmao :cool:

and how to get wireless tether to work, anyone?
 
Because of the bugs with b30 (calendar on lockscreen and horizontal mode issue) I've gone over to Axiom Patent Zero Milestone 1. It, imo, is the most stable 4.0.4 at this point. It takes the best of aokp b30 and fixes the worst of it. :)
 
Only compliant I had was 2h15m since charge and only 14min of screen...down to 64% battery.....that was my second charge..was seeing some odd stuff on betterbatterystats - like a mass of kworker items.
....went to LK3.0 exp 230....will see what it looks like after a couple of charges....
Hope I got it cleared up with the change to lean kernal...we will see.

Other than that...I love the newest additions and this rom!

I'm looking for the "does not equal" sign on my phone, but can't find it. I'm trying to solve the equation with Key West, three drinks, and school work and I just can't seem to do it. :D

Sadly, once we get home tomorrow afternoon, I have to do the school work I should have been doing this weekend :-/

Am I going to regret not wiping everything? I REALLY don't want to wipe! Coming from b29... opinions?
Click to expand...


Think I remember hearing roman say wipe was necessary...but then again, I've dirty flashed many a time when he's said that. Usually I'm happy to be the test subject for y'all :D . However, I was never on 29, so I don't know from personal experience. But if you're so resistant to wiping like I am, and you won't be surprised if something goes wrong, why not? :D
 
I'd just like to point out something about these "complaints." First of all, the two or three things that people are finding buggy are custom ROM tweaks. They are things that that Team Kang has added themselves. We may be spoiled by these things, but, does it render the ROM unusable? Some ROMs suffer from broken cameras or data drops or reboots; has Team Kang ever put out a ROM that you simply could not use? Secondly. This is build 30. Builds aren't released nightly like CM9 nightlies, but Team Kang sure does push em out pretty quickly considering these people actually have lives as well. So if you don't see a milestone in the title, expect some pretty clear bugs. But even if you do, this is a custom ROM. If you don't like bugs, stay vanilla. Thirdly, I'm sure some of you are considering switching ROMs like everyone was when they jumped to Axi0m. To all of you who think switching and coming back is fine, which it is (by all means everyone can do as they please, though you should really stay and support ), just please keep quiet about it, it is not for AOKP threads. Team Kang does what they do because they want to. And if you bluntly say to them 'I'm switching ROMs," and they decide to stop ROMing, you'd be pretty upset and I don't think anyone on any GNex ROM wouldn't be because I guarantee that whatever ROM they're running has plenty of "credit romanbb" tweaks that they love. So my real point is either suck it up and remember what this ROM really is, or report your bugs nicely and if they haven't already been reported, and then do as you please. Just don't post it on AOKP forums!

And this build specifically, I'd just like to say that I've never ran a smoother build of AOKP and I've gotten the best battery life ever. For those of you resisting, I wouldn't. You're being deceived. This build is outstanding; bravo Team Kang.


This little rant of mine wasn't entirely directed at most of you, but mostly at the RootzWiki thread of which I'm not a member. However, I do know some of you are members on both or perhaps some of those people I am directing this at will happen to read this. So this was a "to whom it may concern" type post :D .

I have never installed an alternate ROM, so I want my first experience to be something that will make me want more.

I personally want to hear if people are unhappy about certain aspects of an alternate ROM, it helps guide me in the direction of choosing as wisely as I can by reading what other more experienced users have noticed, and what they can and can't deal with.

All of the developers of ROMs do it because they want to and they kindly share their talents with the rest of us, that doesn't mean people have to blow all positive smoke.
Constructive criticism is good for everyone in all aspects of life.
 
There is clearly a difference between reporting a bug and trashing a developer. The TeamKang crew are incredible ROM developers and highly responsive troubleshooters. We run ROMs like AOKP because we love to tweak. We swap ROMS, try a few or try them all. It is why we got the NEXUS.

Yes- build 30 has a few known bugs.
1- Calendar on lockscreen doesn't work
2- Lockscreen buttons issues
3- Bluetooth MAC address problem

I have all 3 issues. The only one with the potential to affect my use is the BT issue as I use it for both voice and streaming music (I have a 40 minute drive each way to work)
The other issues are simply customizations that aren't working. Build 30 is NOT a milestone. It is a "test" build.

All of that said- if the bugs aren't livable for you, try another ROM. And when these are fixed- come back. It is what we do. It is why we hound manufacturers for locking bootloaders. Each ROM (including stock) has its bugs. Nail Google or Samsung for problems with stock, but take it easy on the crews that are tweaking these to our liking in their spare time. If it isn't fun for them they will stop doing it. Let them know the bugs-- but don't trash them for it.

Oh-- Steven58- I have been following your ROM uses since our days in the DroidX forums-- I know once you find a ROM you like you stick to it pretty hard-- I am betting you'll be back on AOKP in a week! Hope to see you in AOKP threads soon!
 
There is also a difference in how an individual interprets the written word.
Some will view it as trashing whereas another will view it as criticism.
 
A lot of times people get a little heated when they see something that they perceive as a negative critique of the ROM or theme they use. Remember, everyone is entitled to an opinion and as long as its not inflammatory or against site rules it can be said. If you feel it is not within these bounds please remember to use the report button rather than get into a 'debate' of opinions.

ROM's and tweaking are what we are all here for and a deal breaker for one person may be a complete non issue for another.
Play nice with each other please. :)

Trashing is being disrespectful and discouraging them. If you tell them you're no longer going to use their ROM, why should they develop? They aren't obligated. If you report a bug, that's all you should be doing, reporting it. No opinion, just a report. Why should you trash a ROM? If you don't like it, don't use it. The only time I would criticize is, like I said earlier, if it was unusable (I.e. data drops, reboots, etc.). This ROM doesn't have that so I'm not quite sure what you feel should be criticized.

They should develop for themselves and those who still want to use them. Should GM stop making cars because some people prefer Ford?

Again, just because you or someone else may take it as trashing doesn't mean everyone else sees it that way.
 
I'm liking it. Keep in mind folks this is not a Milestone, its a nightly eh?

I do have a nandroid of the plain Jane B30 ROM but could not stand it and loaded Lean Kernel 3.1.0. Deep Sleep only lost 5% in 7 Hrs last night. I do have two email accounts that sync and messaging on with WiFi on and CDMA only. No emails or texts came through.

The speed and responsiveness is butter plain and simple.
I am running the leaked 4.0.4 radios and the hand off here at home is much faster getting the raised eyebrow look from me. I still need to test it away from the house yet.

The only bug I have or see is the same as everyone else, the lock screen settings "calendar sources" FC when selected. ZaphodBeebleBrox chimed in acknowledging and stating B31 will address the reported issues.

I had originally blown it by loading an incompatible Geezer MOD for B28 that broke the SystemUI and had to re-flash it but all is well now. Took a spanking on that one. The only symptom was it would not let me add extra navigation bar icons. ZaphodBeebleBrox was surprised it even booted up.

Adding an extra icon is what the Doctor ordered for me.
I now have the much missed OG Droid reminiscent settings button.

The only long press options used is the hold the Back button to kill an app and holding the Home button will now open a navigation course for home when long pressed. In my profession I venture into the unknown without any thoughts on how to get back until its time to go.
No Regrets loading this ROM.
