Thank you. I wish we had full nand unlock...cause my Root explorer is no good for now. I just don't like adb..so prefer Root explorer.

There is another entire thread dedicated to flashing the OTA radio file. It's an entire process, especially if you are rooted already. You have to unroot to do it.
would it be possible to get the 3g ap hotspot so I could install it? It actually works quite well.
so... as with every other 2.2 rom i've tried, i'm getting the same problem with this one.
my contacts sync, but they don't show up in the "people" app. they appear in the phone app, but not the actual people app.
can anyone help?
Im trying this now. What do people think of it so far. I was very please with pmf's work when using his 1.1.
"Call To Answer" Screen is still HTC
Just flashed this ROM. I must say, it is very fast and responsive. Great work!
I have one concern:
The lockscreen is Android 2.2 vanilla. However, the "slide to answer" screen is still the HTC screen. When testing, the screen was off. As soon as the call came in and the screen turned off, I saw the vanilla lock screen flash for a second (I believe it was the stock unlock screen, not the stock "slide to answer" screen) and then it was replaced with the HTC slide to answer screen.
Is anyone else having this experience?

Thanks. Yeah this is because the phone answer lock screen is controlled by the HtcPhone.apk, which is used in this ROM.

I haven't had issues with it, other than the first sync can take a while to show up. I find that firing up FriendStream can sometimes force it to sync.
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.

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.

Strangest thing.... Was on CNA, decided to try ICSSGS, didn't like it as well so flashed back and calendar was there. I assume because I did not wipe on the flash back to CNA?
FWIW, I have tried this, ICSSGS, and CM9. CNA is my favorite. I have had almost no issues. 1 app won't run, but it is from my small, local bank.

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.
The alternative would be buying them in the browser/pc.
How To Print Screen

Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying this ROM out.
I'm coming from Serendipity VII, which if I understand correctly is I9000 based. Just to make sure I understand what I'm doing, I should just be able to reboot to recovery, and install the CNA ROM from the zip file, correct? Any other steps necessary?
Thanks

I got it installed (with the Glitch kernel - running at 1.4Ghz so far), and I'm very impressed
The only issue I haven't yet been able to figure out is the external SD card. It seems that it now gets mounted under /mnt/emmc/ ? For whatever reason, the music player can't find the media that I have on the external SD card. Any ideas? I can find it using ES File Explorer and play the files individually.
Privacy
There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.
Thanks in advance.
I was one if the unlucky ones that had no 3g data after flashing this rom, flashed glitch, moved apn-conf.XML to the /system/etc/ directory overwriting the old file.
This did not bring data back. I decided to look at the apn list and noticed that it was blank. Clicked the menu button, then selected reset to defaults. Ten minutes later I had data.
Lock Screen
Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.

Not yet. It still shows the animated android.
Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)
Update 3/24:
All aosp roms do not show custom icons.
All aokp based roms do show custom icons.
aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).
Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.
Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.
Any way to disable the proximity sensor in this rom? The thing is the cappy i purchased came with that sensor dead.. This makes the phone freeze while making calls for example.. I'm using right now MIUI 2.3.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7 and I can disable it with almost no effort at all..

Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities. I could try that, but I would be more than grateful if you could explain me a little further the relationship between those two.. Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.

you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.
here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)
1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.
2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.
3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?
4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.

A little background. I finally got PA rom on my phone and realized that I needed GPS and I wanted some of the feature on PACman. After about 4 hours with PA, I flashed PACman.
1st, This rom is awesome. It's very quick and seems stable. I've had one restart since using it (about 24hours now). I love all the features but I have a few questions.
1. How do you change the pie colors? Can you change the colors of the items in the notification bar without applying a theme?
2. I'd like the items on the screen: browser, keyboard, etc... to be a bit bigger. How do I do this?
3. I did a Titanium backup before flashing, but it doesn't say I have anything to restore. There is an option to extract from a nandroid backup, but that's with the paid version. Before I buy, does that work?
4. I used the Moto Smartactions app a lot. Is there a way to get that back?
5. I use gmail mostly, but still use the 'email' app. I guess I'm used to the Moto 'email' app, is there a way to get that back?
6. To pickup 4G lte, what's the correct APN?
7. With PIE controls, how do you access Google Now?
I'm hoping for a bluetooth fix too. I can find devices but can't connect to them.
Well your Titanium backup must have been deleted when you did a system wipe or factory reset during the PACman installation. The best full backup in my opinion is going to be CWM (nandroid). I don't know the answers to your other questions since I never use those features
1. Go into Settings, Hybrid Properties, swipe right to open the sidebar, go to Interface, uncheck "Enable per app color" (unless you want that), and change the colors to your liking (I can't seem to get them to stick. The bottom 2 are for the status bar.)
2. By bigger do you mean the address bar and such? Turn the 2 sliders in the Interface tab (directions above) to the far right and make sure it says phone in the box above it.
3. If you made a nandroid backup before flashing PAC, restore that, change the Titanium backup location to your external SD card, backup, then restore the backup of PAC.
4. Use Tasker or Llama or a similar app.
5. Use the one from the Gapps zip that you flashed (you did flash Gapps, right?).
6. Use the "ATT Phone" APN that comes already activated with the ROM. The signal bars will show 0 when using 4G on any 4.2.2 ROM.
7. You don't.

1. That's what I was doing, but it doesn't stick for me either. I thought I was doing something wrong. Anyone know a fix ? @skeevydude ?
2. That's what I have my setting on, but it seems that, for example, when the keyboard comes up, it's much smaller than it used to be.
3. Ok, that was probably my problem, I should have backed it up to the SD. When you restore from TB, would it bring back all my text/other data?
4. I've heard Tasker is good, but I'll miss Smartaction
5. I did flash GApps, from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314604
6. That's what I'm on now, working good :good:
7. No way to access G now? I actually got used to using it to send text etc... when I'm in the car.
Example for #2, screen size. Here's a photo of my email. Everything seems so much smaller than it did on stock. Maybe my eyes are going bad.
You can access Google with the navigation ring or setting it as a long press on pie I believe.

I use Nova prime, so I used the swipe up gesture to access Google Now, works fine, problem solved
I made sure I was in stock phone UI, the keyboard is still small. I'll check around the swype keyboard options.
I changed the settings for Nova in the quick settings menu to 720p and adjust the size manually. This helps alot, but I have to do this for each app. I wish I could set it at one standard across the board.
I still can't seem to get the keyboard any bigger.
On that note. The ATT AHD had swype keyboard on it stock. Is there a way to get that back. I purchased swype for my Nexus 10, but I like the stock AHD version better because it doesn't have that 'dragon' feature. Is there a way to extract that keyboard from the stock version?

@skeevydude, Thanks a ton! Unfortunately, it didn't work. It installed but once I enabled it as the default keyboard I continually get a popup message saying Swype has stopped. Oh well, I still have the newer version, just really don't like that Dragon feature...it's overkill.

Try pushing or copying to /system and set the permissions the same as the other apps (644,rw-r-r). That was a system app. And uninstall any and all traces of swipe before doing this.
A few other questions (I don't want to whore up the PAC rom thread)
It may be a setting, but when I open most apps (chrome, play store, etc...) there is a bar of either color or white between the status bar and the window. I can't figure out how to get rid of that.
Also, on the pro version of ROM toolbox: Does the boot animation installer work on this phone?
@skeevydude,
Here's a screenshot of what I meant in the last post. The line between the Now header and the status bar. It is like this on nearly all apps. It's not a big deal, but I didn't know if there is a setting I'm missing to fix this.
Hi guys, I'm just wondering, as I'm totally new to android, if you could walk me through the initial stuff a person should do to get the most of his new device.
What I've already done:
Got Nova Launcher and set it up in basic fashion. Will have to go back to it later.
Got Llama, playing with it. Any ideas for setting it up besides the usual silent mode at night, turn off wifi out, turn on mobilde data out... ?
Got SwiftKey.
Got Min Icons.
Got SD Maid Pro.
Fiddled with settings a little, nothing serious.
What I want to do:
Use Debloater to clear bloatware and useless apps. Can I use it to get rid of Xperia keyboard, lockscreen etc? Should I? How do I know what I can disable and what not?
Get some lockscreen replacement app.
Figure out widgets. Seems like there's a disorganized mess of them in my phone even though I didn't install any.
Get a new dialer and contacts app because the original Xperia ones are pretty ugly.
Besides this, is there anything else I should do to improve performance/usability of my new phone? What do you do to your phones? I want the setup to result in a minimal interface and the best possible battery+speed+stability/reliability.
Also, what apps do you use instead of the stock ones like Gallery, Camera etc. Is it worth using other apps?
Thank you.
