[Verizon] [ROM][4.1.1] Bugless Beast

I'm going to install it in the next day or two. Super busy right now so I may not be able to get to it right away. Let me know how it goes! :)

Just a heads up... looks like Youtube is FCing for some when adjusting the volume and also, he left out the Android Browser and instead opted for making Chrome the default (and only) browser.

Apparently you can fix youtube by downloading an apk from a previous JB rom. And you can get the Android Browser back (I have to have quick controls :) ) by downloading the apk and placing it in your system/app folder.

I don't remember where I saw links for both.... I'll look and see if I can find them again and post the links.

I asked Pete on twitter if there were any known issues with this ROM and he replied that there weren't. So, im downloading it right now, and i'll update with screenshots as soon as the download completes, which will be in about 2 hours. Speaking to that, when i download this file does anyone want to host it on a faster server? This one is slow as mollases!

I'm running it now. Just finished getting it set up again with all my crap on there. Runs very smooth, everything loads quickly and it's stable. Haven't had time yet to play with all the new features, but I did find that you have to manually install Adobe Flash via APK rather than through the market. It does work once installed though.

I did have to wipe my phone to get it installed. I was running full stock, and tried to just flash it without wiping and it did flash, however it wouldn't boot. I let it sit at the startup animation for 15 minutes. THen I went back, wiped phone, cleared caches and then flashed again and it worked fine.

Im having an issue with google now, the microphones are being EXTREMELY sensitive, and it isnt delivering search results.
I was getting the same behavior. I went into the Google Now settings, then Voice, then "Download offline speech recognition" and once that was installed, things worked a lot better. Try that see if it helps you too.

I did that and rebooted, and now everything seems to be working a LOT smoother. BTW i really dig the new boot animation. Nexus Logo keeps it clean and classy.

Yes, that bit about downloading the voice recognition was right in Pete's instructions, everyone will need to do this.

I have been using it for a while now and it is a LOT smoother and more stable than my previous JB rom. So, far, all is working perfectly. May take a day or two, though, to spot any issues.

So let me get this straight... you were rooted running stock 4.0.4 (I assume) and in CW Recovery you wiped/data factory reset, wiped cache partition, Advanced/Wiped Dalvik Cache

And that's it? Then just installed zip from sdcard? I don't mean to be "simple" but the more black and white the instructions, the better haha :) Thanks!
