Hi guys,
I want to ask some questions relating to ICS roms. I'm sorry if they were asked somewhere else but searching everywhere and I couldn't find the answers I need.
1. Lock screen wallpaper: Is lock screen wallpaper in ICS roms downgrade in term of quality? I found them very blurry and bad comparing to GB
2. Vibration + sound: I saw MIDNOTE had an addon to fix this problem, with Sound toogle but after changing to Sound Vibration, I still did not get vibration working with notification for SMS.
3. LCD Density: any apps compatible with ICS to change the density out there? without editing the build.prop?
4. Battery: with all the ICS roms out there atm, how are their battery life comparing to GB roms?
Anyone know the answers?
Thanks a lot for reading and answering. Really appreciate that

1. I changed lockscreen successfully on all the current ICS releases (yes, I gave all of them a go before settling for imilka's AOSP) from Google gallery without any noticeable quality degradation.
2. can't help with that, because I never use vibration, so I've never expored it
3. don't be afraid of editing build.prop. It's a piece of cake using Rom Toolbox. Just backup your original build.prop and give it a go.
All other LCD changers are fairly unreliable (bootloops and such).
4. my battery life was pretty good with all of them, especially with AOSP. I managed to squeeze out 5+ hours of screentime yesterday (no gaming though). I think it's safe to say that battery life equals or even exceeds the GB one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for your answer
1. I did that too, but the pic look very bad. Really dont know why
3. Thanks a lot. Gave it a try and successful in changing to 240 dpi
4. I will test it further. Glad to hear that

I have a galaxy S phone and I am using a kernel that contains sharpness fix which gives much better text clarity. I was wondering if there are similar sharpness kernel fixes for the Tab, because small text looks rather ragged in GB?
I have played with LCD Density Changer, which improves things, but IMO something like cleartype for android is needed here!
I think you should should have posted in the Q&A section....
Right, I noticed it ended up in the wrong thread. Couldn't find an option to move it though.
Can a mod move it please?
The lack of sharpness of text is a big issue for me. It makes reading unpleasant. Gonna try to return my tab.
Hey everybody,
I spent the last two weeks since I got hold of my HTC One with flashing every Rom available, but still I couldn't find an entirely satisfying package.
Since I see all the mods and kind of got to know that a lot of options are available via Aroma Installer I am beginning to question my approach.
Maybe I got it all wrong looking for the one ROM that fits my needs...
But that was what I was used to on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I basically sticked to one ROM for months and applied occasional updates.
Basically what I would want:
Good Audio Quality
It doesn't have to be Beats, but at least equally loud and not cracking like most of the AOSP roms I tried.
This is crucial as it was one of the main criteria for me to buy the HTC One. I want to make use of those gorgeous speakers.
Stock look preferred
I feel that Sense is way to bloated and I kind of like the stock Android Halo Look.
As I am using Nova Launcher anyways I wouldn't be missing the Sense Launcher. I find the Sense Settings Menu confusing, to be honest.
Battery Percentage on the right, no extra icon on the left
Notification Toggles / Horizontal Toggles
Well there are apps (like this one), but they require to display a notification icon permanently.
Power Saver Mode
This one is apparently working quite well...and I wouldn't mind having it in the CustomROM.
But if I can get a sufficient amount of daily use outof it I would be happy enough
Changing Screen-Density to 400 to 420dpi
Doesn't really matter if done via manually editing the build.prop or in a different way. It's just important to me that it can be done withouth making the Framework instable.
Hide IME-Switcher Notification, as I am using SwiftKey permanently
Longpress Back-to-Kill
I really make use of this quite often as I have a lot of apps that I use only once a day, such as banking or runtastic. After using them I am used to killing them, which saves me the detour of going to the recently used apps.
Kill-All in recently used apps
If I have to kill 10 or so apps I endorse having the kill-all button.
Home / HTC-Logo / Sweep 2 Wake
My hands are average size so it is quite a pain to reach all the way up to the power button. (Misplacement if you ask me.)
Something I thought I might get used to, but I just couldn't.
(...seriously, this is what works on the iphone. Waking the phone pushing the home button, while it is placed on it's flat unwobbly back. Hence the HTC One lays better in the hand due to the curved back.)
Some way to wake the phone up without using two hands would be great.
HTC-Logo to Menu or Option to have an onscreen-menubar
I kind of miss the menu button...if the 3-dot menu is just disabled in some roms.
I actually was considering getting the onscreen menubar back and linking the home and back button to apps such as Whatsapp and Google Now solely.
Enough of the wishlist :laugh:
Has anyone any recommendations how to get this jack of all trades stock rom?
I tried the following:
Android Revolution HD, TrickDroid, ViperOne, InsertCoin, bigxie Google Edition, the nandroid of the GE stock image.
PAC-man, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid
At the moment I am running InsertCoin, which is not that bad. But still feels a bit bloated, due to the sense "look and feel".
If I would have to evaluate what bugged me the most and really surprised me on each "type" of rom the baseline would look like this:
Sense based roms:
+ Battery Life
+ Stability
+ Sound Quality
- "messy" Sense look and feel (Settings etc.)
Google Edition roms:
+ Stock look and feel
+ Sound Quality
- Battery Life
- Customizability (Battery-Percentage, Toggles etc.)
Non-HTC Base roms:
+ Stock look and feel
+ Customizability
- Battery Life
- Stability
-- Sound Quality very poor
Please don't get me wrong.
I am not someone who is too lazy to get through all the Roms and read myself into it. :angel:
But I think that I might be missing out on something or just overlooking an option, like a kitchen for the HTC One or so
Thanks in advance :good:
All the best.
Flash the ViperOne
you will have all you want.

That's what I thought as well
And I tried it yesterday evening.
Though it felt bloated. It's not only the overwhelming sense-like UI, but as well all the features it offers.
Viper debloated and Google Edition based, with a leaner approach to all the used icons would be love on the first sight :good:
Thanks for the immediate reply
(just realized I called ViperOne "Venom" in my prev. Post)
You have to do a choise.
If you like the GE Rom, flash this, but the audio, the zoe function and much more there aren't.
ViperOne is the best rom for the customization
Okay Slim Bean for the HTC One seems to be the best compromise. :victory:
Not bloated at all, stock look and feel, true black theme and all the requested and beloved features are available.
The on thing I was worried about was the One-specific things, such as Hardware Key Controls and wake-options, but they are built right in the rom/kernel combination.
A user reported 22h (100% to 2%) with slightly over 4h of screentime, which sounds sweet.
Gonna try to install a sound mod to increase the soundquality.
Even though it is not as bad as on the other AOSP-based roms that I tried before.
Hello everyone
I want to flash a new, fast and nice performance ROM on my Galaxy S5, but i want to keep the stock camera and calendar app.
As far as i know, if i install a new ROM it will delete and replace the stock camera and calendar, so my question is, which ROM Omega or Cyanogen let me do that .
Thank you very much for your help

Omega will let you keep the stock camera. Not sure about the Calendar.
You lose both in CyanogenMOD for sure.

Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about the stock ROM? The performance is on par with any of the alternat ROMs out there, so why risk borking your phone or losing apps that you want to keep?
Just get a different launcher to modify the look and feel of the phone to your tastes.

you're mostly correct but there's one thing that it's very different between TW ROMs (that I've tried) and AOSP ROMs (like CM or Carbon) - the notification and quick settings panels; i'm not sure how much these can be customized on TW ROMs and how easy it is to do so but in their default implementation I find CM's notificaiton and quick setting panels vastly superior to those of TW's

In what way? Been awhile since I used an AOSP ROM...
I mean, the notification panel is such a trivial thing most of the time. Shows battery, clock and basic alerts... To me, it isn't worth the risk of messing up a good phone, or introducing instability or missing features, just to tweak the battery alert or whatever...
I was all into ROMs on older phones like the DroidX, Thunderbolt and some others... because the stock roms were crap. Issues, random reboots, horrible lag, etc... The ROMs got the phones to work properly, they way they were meant to.
But on my LG G2 and now this GS5, I just don't see the need. There is no lag, everything works beautifully, and when I research the ROMs, there is always some bug, some missing feature, something that just doesn't work right... So I don't see any point in switching, when you have 20 launchers to choose from that can make your phone look and feel any way that you want, with no risk and with not having to give anything up...
Each generation of phone and release of Android, makes ROMs more and more obsolete, IMHO... I think that 90% of the people that use them today, do it either out of habit, or just because they want to show off to their nerdy friends.
Nice work!
Well, you are so right, I will keep my stock ROM with the apps I want. But, now I have other question, my GS5 is on ATT and I want to remove the bloatware apps that I don't use, do you know where can I find the complete list for this carrier. Thanks for your time.

What I meant by the notification panel was not just the bar across the top of the screen with a bunch of icons but also the pulled down notification menu as well as the quick settings panel. On TW half of the screen's real estate of the notification menu is taken by a row of toggle icons (which are duplicated on the quick settings screen), two buttons that launch apps that I never used (S Finder and Quick Connect, I don't even know what these apps actually do) and a brightness slider (which in fairness can be disabled, if I recall correctly.)
Then you get to the quick settings panel on which there's also not that many shortcuts that I would use (most of which are for the extra features of TW which I also have no interest in) and there's quite a few that I'd love to see there but they're not available. On CM, on the other hand, the notification menu is clean and simple; it's not bl(essed|oated) with some additional buttons which you may or may not use. The quick settings screen is also much more customizable than that of TW's which only allows for rearanging of toggle icons. On CM you can add, remove and freely arrange all icons on the quick settings screen. And yes, you can add that row of icons to the notification screen and get rid of quick settings altogether, if so you desire.
Some toggles that are available on CM but not on TW are screen time out, lock screen disable/enable or torch. Personally I happen to be using these numerous times throughout the day so while it is only a minor inconvenience to go to the settings and change something manually it adds up quickly if you have to do that often.
To summarize my little rant - the notifications menu and quick settings panel section of the system's interface is used quite often by me (and I'd say others as well) and I simply find inadequate what TW has to offer here. The rest of the TW is either virtually the same as any other version Android or can be easily "fixed", example of which was mentioned by yourself (the launcher).
Now, I agree with you that it may not be worth it for some people to "risk" using a custom AOSP ROM but it can't be denied that by definition such ROMs offer a much greater flexibility and allow one to use their phone exactly how they want (to a greater degree than can be said about TW). Differences can ofcourse be described as "minor" but whether they're significant is for everyone to decide on their own. After all, if there was no need for custom ROMs (whether it's just showing off to nerdy friends or some other reason) people wouldn't create them...

Have a look in this forum. There's a good few "debloated" ROMs over there, and a list of what's removed is sometimes included. As for what to remove the apps with, I would personally recommend Titanium Backup.

Just try it for a whole day now.
Great ROM.
Longer battery life.
But one thing, does anyone realize that too?
The usage of data become greater, especially on Google Play n Update Center.
And the download from playstore often stop suddenly, "waiting for network" on status bar. But the Signal were great and there's no disturbance.
Advice anyone? Thanks

Hi alls, Hi (ola) TTmaster
I'm using your v4 master rom since 3 months ago and i have to say : very great work (it's the one i prefer of yours V rom)
For me , battery is good (i use performance control for cpu and gpu) about three days... i use too , additionnal tweak: like Battery (2), zipaligndata(09), audio(11) and deepsleep(19)
But for better battery life, you have to use "disable service" from PS for google drain...it's like that...
The sound is better than stock with viper and tweak.
Camera good too with"timeshift burst"
Network good
I have some little probleme with performance profile (sometimes it work, sometimes, it don't), but not really a probleme, i don't use it...
So, ttmaster a really big thank for all your work (MUCHAS GRACIAS)
p.s: sometimes, i dream about a V6 master rom......
a lil improvement on performance and battery wud be great if u consider tt
waiting for sm update
best rom thanks
I love my note 5 too much but i am tried of low battery performace even with 180 debolated apps including touchwiz
And i know the best way to get bettery life is lower resolution.
I am on stock rom and i dont want to use note 7 roms with unsteable usage even these roms have resolution changing feature.
Is there any way to change resolution (NOT DPI) with stock rom rooted or non-rooted. 1080p or 720p
Some people talk about it can changeable with ADB but i have never used it
Can anyone help me about this prob. And is there any good site or title on xda tells how to change resolution step by step with ADB or anything else.

It's possible with ADB (with or without root) but causes FC and crashes in System UI and many stock apps.
Try Naptime for rooted Note5 and enable doze immediately after screen off.. This saved me a lot of battery even with Wifi, Data and GPS always on.
More importantly, turn off the battery percentage. Believe it or not, it was making me paranoid about battery life ad without it on the status-bar, my life is much easier now.
