[offtheRIM]

ok.. late last night .. flashed this ROM...

very nice.. had a lot of options to select from ..when flashing it. helps to more meet each person's needs. example: it lets you select the size of of your homescreen area for app icons: normal (4x4) grid, 5x5, or 6x5. i choose 6x5.
it looks great.. i like the little things it does to the UI of Touchwiz.

there is 1 thing so far that i am missing..
it has turned off/ removed the "Home" button wake-up the phone function.

has anyone seen the option to turn that back on or bring that function back??
is the an app in the market that can bring that back??

I saw that too. I believe it's disabled to save the home button wear and tear, I'm not sure. For that to be re enabled you would have to edit something. I'm not that deep into android to even know where to begin with that. Contact the dev and see what he can do

 

[dan330]

i posted the same thing over in the dev's ROM thread on XDA. will see what comes up.

 

[offtheRIM]

Let us know how you make out with that because I have not flashed that rom yet, but probably will soon. I'm still running "Team Sonic" and enjoying it.

Edit: After reading the thread on XDA...looks like the "Home" wake function will be added as an option in the next release as popular demand

 

[dan330]

here is what they said needs to be done to re-enable this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34637722&postcount=59

[Using the file explorer of your choice. Head to System-usr-key layout
Mount R/O
Longpress sec_keys.kl and select "edit in Text Editor"
On line 3 it says Key 172 Home. Add WAKE in All CAPS to the end of Home. Save and Exit. Reboot ]

but as offtherim said..
they responded to my request and will be adding this into the next update.. I HOPE.
i guess i will just wait for that..

I dont want to start digging into the ROM.. and edit stuff...
so.. i guess i will wait for the next release.


UPDATE:
the dev.. just posted a mod to add that back in!
the man is fast!

[dan330]

some issues that i have been getting:

the notification bar at the top seems to disappear randomly..
it can be gone totally or be just a blank black bar.

the only way for me to get it back.. is to boot into recovery.. and wipe both cache and Dalvik... reboot.

anyone have this issue too???

Nice! I'm gonna give this rom a try tonight and let you know about the notification bar if I have the same issue.

Update: running this rom now and I really do like it. Nice theme and tweaks.
updated PRL: No problems with notification bar.
(using Nova launcher).

How does this Rom compare to BlazerRom?

How does this Rom compare to BlazerRom?

I've been using this for only a day and its been a while since Blazer Rom for me. They both do the job, as much as I remember the other, but I think I like this one more so far. I may just stick with this..yeah right...for a while.
I say, try them both for while. See what you like! You will not be disappointed with either of the two!
"Flash away!"

Does either come with/support an overclockable kernal?

This rom comes with KTweaker. Not sure on Blazer rom.
I believe Tim talks a little about it in his video. (post #3)

over at XDA.. they say it is the mod for the clock in the NB, to be in the middle. there is a flash to remove that mod.
they also say.. once a notification comes in.. it brings the NB back.
or take a screen shot, it also brings it back.

Does either come with/support an overclockable kernal?

yes, this ROM does have support for it.. a LOT of support. it comes with an app: KTweaker.

over and under clock
with also governors
and voltages...

to many choices!

 

[offtheRIM]

The more I play with this rom...the more I'm liking it
I like the clock in the middle of the NB.

 

[dan330]

it also comes with APEX Launcher.. i wonder what would happen if I un-install it.
it should not affect the TW launcher or function.. right?

 

[dan330]

the question all I see

are we playing a game? finish the sentence?


"the question all i see".. is how can it be "jumbo shrimp"?


what did i win?

I did uninstall it. It does not affect TW. I use Nova.

Been running fre3 for a day now, it's alright, overall runs smooth. Does not come with an overclockable kernel though :/ Also comes with a lot of bloat apps. Swype beta takes a while to load sometimes.

Most custom ROMs won't come with a custom kernel because they cause issues on some people's phones. But you can always flash a custom one.

Which kernels are compatible with which roms?

Check here http://androidforums.com/sprint-cri...-samsung-galaxy-s3-all-things-root-guide.html

I found the kernels listed there. KT seems to have a Touchwiz and AOSP version. Make sure you download the correct version. They are custom kernels so you are flashing at your own risk (as with anything dealing with root).
