[Verizon] [ROM] [JB 4.2] XenonHD Stable-11.1 (7/3/13)

Odd that I have no duplicates... and I dirty flashed.

Apollo is just plain ticking me off. I only have ONE song on my phone and everything else is in the cloud. Every time I hit my BT headset control, Apollo takes over and plays that ONE song... instead of Google Play Music streaming me my hundreds of songs.

Thank HEAVEN for Titanium Backup! I froze Apollo. Now Google Play Music can do its thing. All is well in the world... I think :p

I had the same problem. Since it's considered a system app, I disabled Apollo in the system apps settings and then all the music controls and lockscreen stuff worked for Google Music.

So I'm still on ice cream sandwich guys for a variety of different reasons. Is this the rom to flash? I know there are others but read good things about this and also the eos rom. Thoughts?

I've tried several different JB ROM and was never completely happy until I flashed this ROM last week. I personally think this is the fastest, most stable JB ROM out right now.

Whattup with the incognito option on the browser? Does that open a single browser window (session) that's incognito or does it switch all actively open windows to that mode? And if the latter of the two, how would one reverse this?


It just opens a new incognito tab just like when using chrome on the PC. It does not switch all the previously opened tabs.

It keeps whatever "normal" tabs you have open. When you click "New Incognito Tab, it opens a new set of tabs in parallel to the ones you already have open. When you click the show all tabs button, you'll see the column of "normal" tabs open on the left, and the column of incognito tabs open on the right.

EDIT: This is assuming Chrome Browser. I don't use the stock ICS/JB browser.

Go into system/app and rename the original calendar something like calendar.apk.bak

Then paste (in System/App) the blackcalendar.apk and rename this one to calendar.apk

--leave CalendarProviderGoogle.apk alone

And voila

Can you post a screen shot of the black calendar? Thanks for posting all those mods by the way. You know what they say...Once you go black..ah nevermind.

Yeah he/they added some super cool new features into xenon. Some so minor but you'll notice them as you run the ROM. The browser features are great and also include a long press of the back soft key to bring up history while in browser. Some others that I love are gestures in the native SMS app. Along with lower volume notification tones when in the app and text received. Another are the transitions are different and consistent across the board. A lot more I can't think of but its good stuff :)
