Kinda right, kinda wrong...

THIS thread is for BW based off of Moto ICS stock with some AOSP apps included and most of the blur stripped.

The other 2 you are correct. They are CM9 based and AOKP based roms

Thanks for the corrected info!

[andlaw]

your both pretty much correct. This ROM is based from moto ics 214, deodexed, zipaligned, blur removed... replaced in some aosp apps that are better imo, themed dark as $!#7, debloated.. everything working (- blur apps),

and my Aosp thread containing Aokp and Cm9... are much more customizable, and being based on open source they are much better on battery but have a few issues the moto based roms dont have. (webtop/hdmi).

Has anybody been able to replace BW's Exchange's apk successfully? (instead of using K-9) If so, can you please post how you fixed it? Thanks

I did a search for the term Exchange, I haven't seen any new chatter on how this was fixed... Unfortunately, you may have to be the guinea pig...lol and attempt andlaws suggestion!

[weaponx]

its the same for all my roms, and listed in OP under installation. Flash the ROM, boot up, do device setup (in this roms case you have to skip due to a FC), and then you will reboot back into recovery, wipe cache and wipe dalvik, flash darkgapps and reboot! then Play and Talk will be dark like the rest of the ROM (minus the calendar). **If you flash them both in the same session, Play will not allow you to purchase apps and Talk will not even work.*

what if I don't want the dark apps? If I don't flash dark gapps, are regular apps included in the rom?

umm, not sure how old that post is, but if you read the OP there is no longer DarkGapps. And if you dont like dark $!#7, this rom is not for you... because its the darkest available for the razr.

It's not that I don't like the dark gapps, I just remember that on some of your other roms, dark gapps were flashed separately if users wanted a truly dark experience. So I'm just asking if this was the case again..I'm not rooted at the moment..Ive been on the hunt for a DD Rom based on .211 cause I'm not updating to a leak yet. I like roms based on official ICS releases...less issues. Thanks. THIS LOOKS TIGHT..

[Brad92]

Looks like Exchange is a no go still... I'll keep messing with it

Delete or rename them in /system/app or use an app like Rom Toolbox to freeze

I normally use titanium backup to freeze... after going into /system/app... dawned on me... if look for the icon not just the name it might help... and it did... I was able to find and freeze the apps I was looking for... thanks for your response... helped...

Gonna test this now andlaw. Report back with results.

moved to system/app fixed permissions rebooted and nothing. Gonna check my download real quick and make sure it wasn't bad then retry and report back. Aight tried again and still nothing. I'm on 24v's theme don't know if that has anything to do with it, or maybe you need to move all the apps to system app i'm not real sure just giving feedback. I'm going to try and install it like an app and see if that works since fixing permissions and rebooting didn't work.

lol thanks for answering my questions with false truths. this is based off stock so no you shouldnt have data drops. some have reported the 3g/4g icons disappearing and then reappear (215 kernel), i have not experienced any bugs... and if you are thats fine, but to say the rom has data drops in response to his question is not true lol. so please dont answer it like you know its a known problem or something. thanks.

Sent from my DROID SPYDER using Tapatalk 2

well sorry about that lol. but for me and other people on here it is a known problem, just saying. not everyone has the issue but some do which makes it an actual problem that is there because something obviously causes this. I am one included in this problem. And I never said the ROM as a whole has data drops, please read more carefully next time. I said if you are .215 you will (based off of my experiences) maybe i should have included that sorry about that. thanks

[vols4life]

Your the man 24v. That's what did it lol.

I know I'm missing something reallysimple, but: I can not get this: " Open your system/media directory for custom launcher icons (using apex, long press on the app, edit, change icon)" to work with the .png files that are stored in system/media or other locations.

When I hit edit in Apex, it only allows me to choose icon packs that are some of my old ones, but does not "find" the "bw" icons. It also only allows me to choose .jpg files. What am I missing?

[alexh037]

Followed the instructions and worked perfect thank u for such a cool icon pack. Only prob i noticed is that catch notes icon didnt get themed even though i do see the blacked out icon for it in the icon pack. Thanks again!

fuzz-
Download the apk
Using a file manager move it to /system/app
change the permissions to rw, r, r
reboot phone.
goto the settings menu
then into apex settings
then theme settings
Click on BWIcons
click on apply

No go for me. Could it be that I used Titanium Backup to restore a version of Apex Launcher and that is why it is not working? When I go to Apex settings, theme settings; There is no option for BWicons.

The .apk does show in /system/app and the file is set to r/w

I am running the .214 kernel and getting decent battery life. I am not a poweruser and seem to lose 5% battery over an hour or so with checking texts and email manually. I usually leave the data, wifi and GPS off while at work since well, I am at work. How has the battery life been for those running this rom? I like the looks of it and with Blue Frost in the works it looks promising. So, how about some reports or screenshots of examples of battery life with this ROM? I forgot to add this is on an Regular RAZR. I also put the network to CDMA only as 4G in my area is not really up to snuff yet.
