As a sequel to my Cyanogen Nighlies thread, I thought it appropriate to create a celebratory post linking to the stable release of 6.1.0 for the Droid Incredible.
Please reply with your experiences, inquiries, and love for one of the smoothest, rock solid ROMs available for your device. I am also open to ideas about what else to include in this OP including links to themes, juicy nuggets of relevant info, or known issues (should we find any that are repeatable).
For now, please enjoy this excellent release, and kick a few pennies up to Koush. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Download link (or just grab it from ROM Manager):
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc&type=stable
Known issues:
-Cyanogen default auto brightness adjusts only once, so moving from light to dark results in protracted dim settings.
-While disconnected from the charger, trackball wake will intermittently fail. This is a known bug and has been filed as such.
-Flash Test does not do anything for applications that don't have a customized setting. It should still blink using the systemwide default green when a real event comes in.
Solution Sets/Workarounds:
To install the new Market and avoid FCs:
1) settings-applications-manage and delete cache for the market
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvik cache

"Best" is certainly a relative term, however my personal preference for both speed and battery life is invisiblek's AOSP kernel.

Which version do you prefer?
Incredibleks. Best Kernel ever. Seriously, for AOSP Roms, it is the choice. Seriously, overclocking on a snapdragon is pretty pointless. The speed differences are pretty much non-existent.
op link is messed up. you got an emoticon stuck in it
wow.. it took a while but nice to see it make final.. seemed like it was never gonna make it past rc status
I'm on 17 and love it but it appears that different kernels are acting differently on different phones. I was on 18 for a while an noticed that battery life wasn't as great and went back to 17, while other people said that 18 was better than 17 on their phone. Now 19 is out and if you look at the last couple of pages half the posts say that 19 is the best yet for battery and the other half is reporting ridiculous battery loss. You're probably best off getting the most recent one listed on the first post (#18).
Great ROM. I was running the nightly for literally a day only to come back at night and see a stable. This + the Gingerbread theme + Gingerbread Launcher will hold me over until the source drops for GB and we get a port
L.E.D don't work when getting text,mail,etc... other then that runs smooth. Thanx for all the hard work u guys put into these!
One question I have is this: I know how to remove the status bar widgets, but after doing so I'm stuck with that blank space normally occupied by the Verizon Wireless banner. Is there a way to put that back in there so there isn't that gap?
Odd that I want it back I know, but some things I'm just anal about.
Is there anyway to make it so that when you unlock and turn off the screen its instant instead of the fade out effect?

What's wrong with the stock kernel? Invisiblek are very solid but going to give koush's stock kernel a try.
On a side note, does anyone know if the stock kernel has smart ass governor on it?
Optical pad wake
Is anyone else having a problem with the optical pad wake only working once in a while? It always works if the phone is charging but if it isn't charging it's like a 30/70 chance of it working. It seems to work if you hold it down for like 5-10 seconds but that sucks.
Does anyone know how to make it so when I install this ROM all of my apps do not auto reinstall from the market...? My old wallpaper from an AOSP i had like 4 months ago still pops up as default also!
Even if I select "do not backup apps with google" it does not work. I have also tried formatting my SD card, and phone storage to no avail...
I want to install this, but everytime I have installed an AOSP ROM and then a theme, it goes haywire because there is some sort of backup file I can't find.

I noticed this as well. Also on lockscreen when phone and messaging tabs ate there the messaging one doesn't open messages. Hope I made sense new to xda forums and trying to help.

There's a bug report for this but no one has been able to fix it. I believe it's the trackpad sleeping when not on the charger.
Sometimes a long press and then a short one works.. sometimes it just works.. other times you have to hold it until the screen comes on..
My power button is broken so I live with the press and hold..

During the first setup, skip when it asks you to set up an account. Then run a google app like Market, GMail, etc. and sign in. Contacts will sync but applications will not.

Not sure if anyone's done it for a Sense-based ROM yet, but these are both standard features in CM7.
Yup, the reason I'm wanting them was because I tried out cyanogenmod and that was one of the things I really liked. The notifications page was a lot cleaner and a lot more useful.
Unfortunately, cyanogenmod had one problem that was a bit game breaking for me - headset mics wouldn't work. I've googled the problem, seems like I'm not the only one with it, but there's no real fix for it other than to wait until the next release or to try out nightlies.
So now I'm using android revolution. My phone's rooted, so I know what I'm asking for IS possible. It's just a matter of finding someone who's done it, or waiting for someone to do it...
Hey guys,
So, I just picked up the HTC one today. As I expected, the hardware is great, but I have to admit i'm really disappointed in the software. It feels like a child's toy. So few options. I'm coming from an Xperia Ion. I thought the software on that was terrible and limited but HTC's is worse. It obviously didn't take me long to flash my Ion. and it seems I'm not even willing to give the HTC 24 hours to flash it either. So, I'm used to Cyanogen Roms and other xperia specific roms which were awesome. But I see no stock android roms for the HTC One. All seem to have HTC Stock Roms and that's exactly what I don't want. I don't want to be limited by the choices HTC gives me.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a Stock 4.1.2 or 4.2 android rom for the HTC. And if not, if you recommend any particular Rom considering the following:
1. I need LTE
2. I want a barebones phone that I can add what i need to, not the other way around. I hate these freakin manufacturers and their obsessive need to add crap to a perfectly fine platform. I'd get the nexus 4 is it's hardware was better and had LTE and didn't look like ****, but hey, that's not an option.
Things I hate about the One.
1. the phone dialer buttons are badly placed
2. no control over headset button actions - even with 3rd party apps
3. No menu button that I can find - yes I know each app has one, but it's not standard and that's annoying
4. Can't seem to find a recent apps/multi-task button
5. Bunch of home app features missing or just too limited - yes I know i can replace with a launcher
Recent apps/Multi-tasking: Quickly double tap the Home key to get this.
(As you may have noticed, long-press Home opens Google Search)
Multitask by double tapping the home button. But ya I flashed to trickdroid for the One and its still HTC stock, but it is alot better, Gives you the option of making the long hold on the back button a menu button.
There a few minimal roms in the development forum.
@kuroneko007 -- thanks for that. looked everywhere. I even tried double tapping a couple times, but seems my timing was off, which is just a testament to how bad an idea that is. Double tap incorrectly and you end up on the home page. No big deal, but all these little things just irk me. Ya, I had noticed the long press home feature.
@sdla4ever -- trickdroid will take a look. was really hoping there'd be a non HTC option, but i realize it's a very new phone and maybe there just hasn't been enough dev time just yet. I am hoping that'll change.
I saw a thread on an app called SwipePad, which will help with getting around the phone from anywhere with gestures, which is cool, so that might help a bit, but i just feel like there are a lot of details I was spoiled with on my previous roms that I'm just not getting here at all. Anyway, any other tricks and tips you guys have found that boost your productivity or provide more options, i'm always open to hearing.
Thanks for your input guys.

Look in the HTC One development forum there are ROMs that are even more minimal.
Give it a month or two. The phone has just been released and many people have not even got hold of their pre-ordered units yet.

Ya, I figured that was the case, but just thought I'd ask, on the off-chance i was missing something obvious. I wonder if Cyanogen will make a ROM for it. Of all the roms i've tried, I think i like the CM ones best, though not by much. SOme really good stuff out there.

My suggestion would be to install the Renovator ROM with the de-sense option in AROMA, then install Apex launcher and set gestures for actions you want such as menu and search...etc. Or you could give the CM from the ATT version a shot, but it seems to be an early build so there could be some loose ends right now.
I think this is a great phone the has some questionable design decisions from HTC in both the hardware and software. But everything can be somewhat dealt with with a little trial and error and research.

I found a much better way - I installed this kernel and disabled the three menu button menu - now use the htc logo as the menu button!
@apd - that's exactly what I mean. Sure the apps have their own menu area, but it's a waste of space and not always in the same place for every app, which is annoying and like you said takes up real estate. if one of the capacitive buttons could serve as the menu button, that would be awesome. As for the last reply, what do you mean you disabled the 3 menu button menu? I understand that it's possible to use the htc logo as a cap button, but what other button are you referring to that you disabled? You referring to the software/app buttons that show up in every app? Please explain. I wonder what roms that kernel works with. Will have to look into that.
@lilhaiti - i agree. phone is solid, but there are a few things that imo weren't done with much thought. I am and have used Apex for a couple years, and between that and Swipe Pad, I've covered most of the basics, tho, essentially I'm installing apps to do what the phone should be able to do from the start. Whatever, no big deal, but these details are still important to me. As for the CM, I'll wait. I'm not in a huge rush, but I'll definitely try it once it's stable.

adding
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
to your build.prop file will remove the three dot menus in all apps bar HTC's.
I did this and have the HTC Logo as a menu button.
Bonus question:
Does anyone know how to keep the three-dot menu in apps which implement it properly in the action bar, but hide it in apps where it appears as a black bar?
Has anyone tried subj with sideloaded app keeping screen on all the time. (Like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbondarchuk.android.keepscn ) ?
Would be interesting also to compare mostly black and mostly white watchfaces.
This is something that I really would like so I will try to get this to work on my Gear. I'll report back in a few days.
Thank you for sharing.

I have tried three different versions of these types of apps and none of them worked.
They either wouldn't install at all, or if they did they would immediately close saying "XYZ app has closed unfortunately.
If anybody gets one working correctly, please post the results

Did you make sure to move them over to /system/app?
Its a wishful thinking but Id love to see a MotoX style face for the watch. (Dynamic Notifications App mimics this).
The clockface would always be on and the notifications would only light up those portions of the screen and youd just touch and see what you have waiting.
I'm moving from the Note 4 to the Nexus 6. Note 4 started having random reboots, problems, etc.
1. Nexus 6, the volume button and power button are too close together/same side. Does anyone else fumble with these buttons?
2. Camera-doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as the one on the Note 4, flash lights up the picture and it looks good, but when the picture actually takes, it is seconds after the flash has gone off.
3. Is there a way to put two languages on at once for texting? I am aware that I can put more than 1 on and toggle the 'spacebar' to switch from english to spanish, but, is there a way that it has both dictionaries going at once? Most of my texting is in two languages, and it's a real pain to have to switch back and forth in order to not have auto-correct go crazy and change my words. (or can someone suggest a messaging app they like that would do this?)
4. After using headphones and unplugging, sound will sometimes disappear until the phone is restarted.
5. Copying pictures from a text? On some of them i get a choice of "view picture" which takes it to a separate screen. But, from there, the 3 little menu buttons on the top left, when I click say "more options" and nothing else comes up? There is no way to copy it, forward it, etc.?
6. Is there a way to make the message alerts not vibrate so loudly? Is that adjustable?
1. Once in a while, but I have a habit of "double checking" the buttons
2.Have you tried using a camera with manual settings? Heard that the N6 camera wasnt that good but if you know what you are doing with manual settings, you can get a great shot
3. Have you tried swiftkey? I use it to be able to text my family in english and catala
4. Haven't had that issue

6. Not sure, maybe if you root your device you can

2. It's not as good as my Note 3 was. But still I've made a couple of rather good photos. It's not all in the camera software.
3. No, AFAIK. But it's not N6 specific.
4. My never did that.

6. Nope. I mean not without a custom kernel.

I disagree. Other than the obvious point that the OP's post isn't breaking any XDA rules, the OP has not said that he doesn't like the device. All he is doing is asking for input from device owners regarding certain things he isn't used to. Perhaps you might try answering the questions instead of being crabby?
@grizzylemon: To answer your questions:
I haven't had an issue with this. Coming from a Galaxy S4 you would figure I would.
I've not encountered issues using the camera with flash. However, all things considered, the Nexus 6 camera is a small downgrade from the one in the Note 4. The Note 4 camera has a slightly larger aperture, which means more light can hit its sensor. That plus the backlit sensor and DIS to go with OIS do make for a better camera.
You could use Google Translate to translate your text before you send it, then add it to the existing text. However, typing in two different languages would require a keyboard where you could switch languages on the fly, and while I'm sure they exist, I'm not aware of any.
I've not encountered this.
Tap on the picture in Messenger. Next to the "share" icon you should have an icon that looks like a memory card. That's the "save" icon. The picture will save to a folder on internal storage. Other apps, including the AOSP messaging app, may have a completely different setup.
The vibration motor is very loud. You would need a custom ROM with (likely) a custom kernel to be able to adjust the vibration intensity.

Thanks for your responses. It isn't so much the keyboard (for the dual language texting) but in my other phone I guess it worked two languages simultaneously in the dictionary so I could type "Go to the store and tell her you want "una soda sin hielo" " and it wouldn't try to change the last part of my text to words it thought i might be trying to type in English.
Also, thanks for your defense.
I'm certain some people will wonder how I can type without it, but the solution I found to that was to disable predictive text features in the keyboard.
I didn't buy this phone for the camera, texting abilities, or multilingual support. I bought because it is big, fast and most of all... it's a Nexus.
I can run a different rom every day if I want. Your Note 4 was having random reboots. If that happens with my Nexus 6 I just wipe it and install a different ROM. This flexibility is what makes Nexus (Pixel) devices great. IMHO.

Yes, I do like that part of it, haven't tried to do any custom roms on it yet. is there one you have that is a favorite? Also, (probably a stupid question, so bear with) how is it different to wipe and put in different rom on the Nexus as opposed to doing so on the Note?

As in? Were you running a custom ROM on the Note 4? Nexus is one of the most highly developed brands. If not the most. Factory images are readily available and many times after a new android version is released, custom ROMs for the Nexus are not far behind. There is no difference between installing a ROM on the Nexus 6 or the
Note 4. Availablity would be the factor.
I'm a fan of Bliss, Slim and Pure Nexus, to name a few. It mostly depends on the user and what they like.
