I want to write a full review for this ROM, but I couldn't use it long enough. It's completely unusable on my phone, which is unfortunate because I really wanted to like this ROM. The Launcher / UI is pretty nice and the menu system is great. It also seemed to be very, very fast and smooth.
None of that mattered though, because even after several wipes and re-flashes, I can't use the phone. First and foremost, Titanium restores do not work. If you restore data (which I need to, I don't want to lose app data) it will cause a constant android process crash, rendering the phone useless. I did manage to at least get my SMS/Logs back using MyBackupPro, but no data from other apps. I used the phone for about a day.
Half of my apps don't work. My alarm clock app force closes whenever I try to set an alarm. My Grooveshark app won't play any songs, and so on. On top of all that, the phone will often just freeze up completely, to the point where I cannot turn the screen on or off, and have to do a battery pull to reboot it.
On the plus side, I liked the UI - especially the lock screen and music apps - VERY much. I think this honestly would have been my favorite ROM by a long shot of all the dozens (hundreds?) I've flashed, but unfortunately it just doesnt work, which is relatively important.
Titanium data restores work fine as long as you are not attempting to restore system data. If you do restore system data then you will experience the types of things you experienced. If you restore app data for user apps you shouldn't have any problems.
Apparently the issue with the alarms may be an actual bug with the ROM (I've seen it reported by others), I use Gentle Alarm (one of THE BEST apps out there), so I didn't experience that. {EDIT: I tested it with the stock alarm clock and I can add/set alarms without issue.} The other things you are describing are not typical of use with this ROM... I would recommend wiping EVERYTHING and reinstalling, and not using task killers (this ROM has a built in task killer anyway). If you continue to have issues I'll try to help.
Would like to try this rom out again, now that it is a little more stable, and I notice that I need to install NEW USERS FLASH 0.1.3.0 BEFORE 0.12.3.2 is that a typo?
Yeah, it's a typo. It should be flash 0.12.3.0 before 0.12.3.2.
