No. The MMS is stock for now.

Thanks for the feedback, you will get quicker responces at RootzWiki but I am nice and will reply here too
There is an issue with SMS and mms on the 4G, and Adam Green (oxygen) is hopefully sending me a fix sometime today and I will then release a new beta with it included. Until then, like others said, use a 3rd party app if needed.

There isn't a disable lockscreen vibrations option, however I can look into making it obey the use haptic feedback option is settings for those who hate all feedback. I quite like it myself but if its wanted...
Also, if you like Carbon, show your support by voting in the RootzWiki developer phone handout for me, I could get a Sensation or a G2X (the other option is a NS but I have one). http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=2014

With out a doubt my daily now!! cant wait for the goodies now

Great ROM! I've been using it for a couple of days now and it's been smooth sailing so far. I love the Quadrant Standard scores though, I get an average of 3400. This has to be the fastest ROM I've ever tested.

How's the battery life? That's what I'm more concerned about rather than e-pen quadrant scores. Thx.

Vellamo tends to be between 515 and 615 depending on cpu setting(1.0 -> 1.2) and Autokiller settings(default -> Strict). Go with that, it's considerably more accurate way to benchmark.

This looks interesting, though what exactly is different between this future ROM, and the rom for the Desire Z? It just seems like another Sense ROM to me.
Please don't take that the wrong way. It's great that you're porting different ROMs over to the G2! I'm just curious since I don't understand what sets it apart from a regular Sense ROM like Virtuous.

also there is a exchange widget? dunno how it differs from email
the new app drawer icon
um settings is a bit different
agenda widget
htc likes widget
there like 2 new people widgets
and twitter widget looks kind off dirent i guess.
edit: iv been told most of this is not new, bunch of this widgets are alredy in desire z builds, im guessing rmk40 ripps them out, or i never looked for them.
i will post more screen shots if i can.
btw wifi and bluetooth are fixed now.

Really? Curious as to why you're making that statement.
I'm running it right now, seems to be pretty smooth with decent battery life but issues with mms, screen randomly flashing and a couple other things are annoying.
REMOVED in request of the Thread Owner
GOOD JOB ON THE PORTS!
Cimer said:
Well I don't like the UI changes that are going on, and I do not see some of my wish list features that kind of make sense.
Some UI changes that I do not like is the "3G+" Even though that used to be accurate I like my H and if Virtuous was going to decide to change the H icon the only icon I would not mind is a "4G" icon because that term is accurate now.
I don't like what they did with the personalized button, I liked the old way better it looked nicer and I find it to be useful because I like changing certain UI things up which Sense allows me to do.
Also Virtuous buddy does not seem to work as well as I would hope and I can not access the main settings part, which leaves me kind of frustrated because I would like to know if I could change what I did not like above.
What I would like to be changed is when you slide down the notifications bar I would like a power control rather than recent apps, I have a home screen for that and the app drawer can be just as quick.
I don't know if this last part is possible or not, but I would like more themes, or just a flat bar like slate with the HTC skin to it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is a mod to make it a power contol, in the thread.
He said virtuous buddy is still beta.
If you don't like the personalize button.. flash the stock launcher.. yet again there is a mod for that in the thread.
The 3g+ icon is stock with the ROM. That's how HTC put it.
Make more themes since your so needy.
Conclusion: Read in the thread. Almost ALL that stuff you was complaining about besides the 3g+ icon is fixable, if you Read and stop complaining. Better yet don't flash the ROM. And I highly doubt RMK or HTC care about your wish list.

In order to start a wifi call make sure you are close to your router, then you can walk away.
(If you go into WiFi settings, advanced settings, and check Best WiFi Performance, WiFi calling connects easier.)

PERFECT!
The best rom i tried.
Either this Rom has exceptional battery life or the graphic in the status bar isn't showing the proper battery percent. It was at 78% when I took it off the charger 15 min ago and have been using it non stop for that 15 min and it still says 78%. Will continue using and see what happens. Anyone else notice? Other than that, this Rom is superb.

Been trying it for a couple of hours and liking it! Have been switching roms quite often but this is the best 'Sense'-rom for me so far.
Only 2 questions:
1. have setup my exchange-account and it shows my mail and contacts fine. However, it does not show the appointments of my Exchange-calendar, although I have been able to select the Exchange-calendar.
2. I am using the Mail-app and made a shortcut in the Launcher-Pro dock. In LP it's possible to show the dock-notifications for the number of mail only for Gmail. Is it possible to show the original Sense notification for missed/unread mails for the Mail-app. Don't know if it is described properly but in a Sense-rom it's the green circle with number of missed-mail
woah ive been liking your senseless sense ROMS! this one is themed really nice and it has the sense 3.0 lockscreen/incoming call screen.
it is possible to get the sense 3.0 lockscreen with shortcuts ?

What do yu have to have for it to work? Only ICS? I thought I saw a complete theme that had it for GB, but I could have been mistaken... oh well, TW doesn't hurt my feelings at all.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I am in the exact same boat, down to the ROM and everything. I love everything about CleanGB except I'd like to have more lockscreen functions (especially camera!).
Widgetlocker is great because you can customize it down to the last inch, but I didn't like the idle resource and battery drain. Same with the Magic Locker ICS theme (which is great because it has calls and SMS notification counts built in, and it's free). But both are simply apps that float on top.
Until there's an ICS style lock that I can zip into, I guess I'll go back to the stock touchwiz. Thanks Kenny.

Widgetlocker uses 5-6mb of ram and does not affect performance or battery. That's less ram than swype and just barely more than vvm.

Aha. I found out why it seemed to be draining the battery faster. I've been using juice defender to cut 3G when the screen is off. The problem is that JD won't recognize these apps as a true screenlock, so it doesn't turn off 3G.
I recently bought tasker so I'll try learning how to use that for controlling connectivity instead.

I hear tasker> jd. In fact I hear all around jd is junk. Even used it myself once and it definitely did nothing to help.

I'm happy with my setup your happy with yours. It's all good.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Well, JD worked well enough for me to notice a drastic difference in my battery idle. With the JD inactivated and 3G hooked up, I would drain 4-5% per hour at idle. Cutting idle 3G made for a much nicer 1% per hour.
Tasker is much more controllable. Now I have it set up so that only apps that require data turn on 3G when activated. This is great because JD only toggled connectivity with the screen status. Now I can use the camera, text, or play games without 3G turning on at all. There is a 2 second lag for switching on 3G that I usually have to refresh for, but the kill speed after exiting is instantaneous. Great program.
Don't mean to hijack, I know this is moving away from the OP's (and my) question. Let's hear it for a baked-in ICS lock coming soon!

Easy-to-use ROM?

Hey everyone. My Mother-in-Law has the Sprint SGSII and.....she hates it! She needs the capabilities the phone offers for her business, but she is extremely frustrated with the UI of Android. She is currently running the most recent ICS update. I am curious to know, from experienced users of this phone, what the most user-friendly ROM is - considering the end user.

I recommend the Blu Kuban Rom, its pretty much drama free. Use Odin to install a rooted version of ICS, then install CWM Recovery. Once that is installed slap the Blu Kuban ROM onto your SD card. Boot into recovery and install the ROM.
You will want to read some FAQs and guides if you haven't done it before.

My vote goes for stock with Apex launcher, the feature to lock the desktop is amazing for newbie android users, grouping shortcuts, customize the bottom icons, slight theming, working good so far.
I've rooted my SGS3 & am running StrongSteve's Odexed Blue, but this is my first Android phone & rooting experience. I will definately read the stickies & FAQs before I do anything. Hopefully the Epic 4G Touch isn't too different from my SGS3.

Stock, let the mother in law deal with Sprint especially if she uses her phone for business. Next thing ya know you get blamed if she misses a call or gets a late text.
Try a different launcher like apex or nova first. Lots of ppl also like go launcher, many themes
I have Nova launcher and I like it. Or go to settings, apps, select all, go to twlauncher and clear defaults then hit the home key to switch to twlauncher and you can make it your default for a straight Android look.

Go gingerbread and run stock or a stock ROM with tweaks. I'd say go with either blazers 4.1 calks 3.0 or unofficial ICS gingerbread ROM. ICS is just poo.

Why GB over ICS? I'm new to Android and have only experienced ICS, so I am unaware of the differences in ease-of-use/system UI.

Stock, let the mother in law deal with Sprint especially if she uses her phone for business. Next thing ya know you get blamed if she misses a call or gets a late text.
Try a different launcher like apex or nova first. Lots of ppl also like go launcher, many themes

HA! She's already missing calls, butt-dialing china, mass deleting contacts, opening every installed app on her phone, etc. That's why I started his thread!

I got my tech retarded dad an evo 3d and put an AOSP ICS rom on it for him.It seems to be working well enough. As such I cannot recommend an AOSP rom enough for simplicity and ease of use. Google is like pretty good at what they do and IMHO AOSP is the cleanest, simplest to use option available. Keep the stock launcher and just put phone, browser, text and email in it...

No ROM is going to fix stupidity. No offense to your in laws.
That being said blu Kuban is a good choice for customizing to her specific needs. I usually refer to it as the "build your own ROM" ROM. However she may be a little daunted by the frequent updates and large amount of options. If you do choose that ROM I would highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the faq in my sig so you can send to any issues she may have with it. Also any ROM by team VeNuM, especially m'ICS or blue BOA would be a good choice as far as stability is concerned.

Hehe, none taken. She's not stupid, just "technologically challenged."
I can't remember where I saw the screen shot, perhaps an article on Android Authority, but I seem to recall seeing an initial setup screen shot from a GNex w/JB - shortly after Google launch party. That screen shot allowed two options, basically beginner or advanced mode. I believe I came away with the impression that was geared towards the UI too, not the setup method.
Now, I know JB ROMs are in alpha stage for the e4gt. Do you think I should wait for, what looks to be, an official JB release for the SGSII from Samsung?
Thoughts? Has anyone else seen, read, heard, or experienced this "beginner mode" on JB - or were the paint fumes at my office gettin' to me more than I thought they were that day?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
JB roms are not quite ready yet. There was some type of easy setup thing though. Honestly your best bet would probably be a simple launcher and lockscreen.
Keep it stock. Use a different launcher and remove all but one screen. Put the things she uses most on it as shortcuts, then lock it so she can't accidentally mess it up. Did that for my wife and it really helped!

no rom will fix this try Mihome miui launcher its as simple as it can get good luck
Ive been using the TeAm VeNuM cRaCk StOck[FH23] for the past couple of days and you cant get much more simple than that. Only change I made was switch to the Apex Launcher. The battery life is incredible!!!!

I find GB more stable then most ICS ROMs. Great battery life awesome signal and great GPS locks. Most GB ROMs are complete and done with updates due to ICS coming out. Currently ICS is still being updated and has many flaws. A lot of the devs like ruj and mijjz got their stuff in order but they update a lot and may irritate your mother in law.

You can just keep stock and go dead simple with i launcher. It will obviously have no bugs (its stock). its just an iphone launcher

Sac's Unofficial Synergy ROM Port With Multi Window General Chit Chat

Hey guys to much general chit chat in the Development section. Lets keep it here
Would like to know if there is a simple edit to send over 160 characters on stock mms app. Also would like to know if there are any tips to keep my phones ram from maxing out all the time never had this issue so don't know how to adjust it. When it starts to max out the rom is very laggy. Love the rom my hats off to sac and team.

Does anyone else have a crackling sound through ad2p when using a custom kernel?

THANK YOU!
This rom is GREAT! I have tried a few and this one if by far my favorite. Question though: I feel as if I am getting way more volume than I wanted, is there a volume mod/boost on this thing that I am not aware of? Also, the acid sound mod and sound enchancements (in system settings) - what do they do? I have been tring to figure out the ins and outs of this rom, I found out how to use multiwindow from another user, but is there a general guide for all these features some where that I'm missing? I just donated to SAC today for all his hard work, it's greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

RE: cancel that.. found it
May give this ROM a shot tonight. So far, tried Goodness, FreeGS3, TPR, and MOAR. All great ROMS but continuing to look. Seems like this is a pretty popular option, so why not right?

Chemistry Rom
Chemistry Rom is that deal I love how me having my phone flashed to boost and being able to use all the main functions like mms and voice mail all working with this ROM. Now what will be great if we can get call record added into it...

Hey getting really good battery life off this ROM using Ktweaks info provided from my man JC thanks again for the help....LOVING the Chemistry...:good:
Lockscreen issue
Been running this ROM for a few days now and I've run into this issue a couple times. Sometimes when my phone restarts the lockscreen is rotated 90 degrees and I cant do anything. The only thing that seems to fix it is wiping dalvik. Any ideas as to whats going on here? It's obviously not a huge issue, but it's annoying.
Been using this for weeks. Its awesome, everything works. Just wondering if it'll work if I flash ma6 update? I just don't wanna screw up a good thing.

Thank you so much for rom, but a few questions.
Thank you so much sac23, this rom is amazing and the perfect solution for anyone who wants a stock TW feel rom with added functionality.
Ive been running the rom for about 2 weeks now, i have a couple questions, and a single bugs i may have found on this otherwise 100% perfect rom.
first, i had the phone crash 2-3 times. once was when switching between apps... the actual window that pops up to force close the app because it crashed has some !$# thing on the options. I also experienced this is i save a game file, on asphalt7 and leave the game by "quitting" although its not only isolated to this exact app, i am able to replicate it regularly.
second, i had a few questions
1- is there any way to make the toggles not shrink the icons when it gets to the last 10% of closing the notification menu? it makes it look twitchy when you open it fast.
2- i was checking out this "criskelo toggles" add on you put, but if i do it, how do i revert back if i dont like it?
3- is there any way to change the battery icon in the notification menu so that it doesnt display a percentage INSIDE the battery? i prefer using the stock percentage next to the battery, so its annoying having 2 battery percentages.
4-where can i donate? you guys deserve a reward for your work =P
I just wanted to update with a bug or two I found.
1-after taking a screenshot, pulling down the expanded notification drawer, clicking edit causes a force close/crash.
2- Gps tag in stock tw camera app is broken.
Das it! Thanks again devs
