How's the 4G on this ROM?

Picture speaks better then words. I did this inside where my 4g signal isn't that great.

Very cool. I've been stuck on 3G so long that I could really use a ROM with stable 4G. Does this thing stay on 4G more than 3G, or is it kind of even?

Depends on the area you live in. 4g is great to have, but if your area doesn't offer that great of service then 3g is all you will get.

Yeah, I live in an area that offers 4G service, which I was getting nicely until I updated to Jelly Bean. After that, downloading anything bigger than 3 gigs was a pain:( I'll give this thing a try and see what happens.

I want to share a screen shot but can't figure out where I have to upload the photo to first.

If you click the "More Reply Options" button, on the bottom of the message window there is an "Attach Files" option that will let you browse your device/PC for the picture to upload.

So, I wanted to share the great battery life I am getting with this rom (still 86% after over 13 hours) but I can't get a clean screen shot. Down volume/power takes the shot but the volume dialog box is visible.

Anyway to add screen shot to the power menu?

In regards to the battery life, with PacMan the same time period sitting idle I would be at 75% or lower.

[nobe1976]

You must have a extended battery. This is where I stand at so far..

Nope, standard battery. And it is the one that came in it a couple years ago.

How did you take a screen shot clean like that on this rom?

[nobe1976]

I kinda got use to doing it with volume down and power. Once I press them in I hold it for a sec then release. Plus I am Ottered and it makes those buttons a bit easier to use... You can always use the app Screenshot ER free version also. Makes taking screenshots a bit easier. $3π+ £®m€ ×X× BiOπI¢ oπ $ø|/|£ťhïñğ ¢ű$ț¤|/|

Maybe I will try that, but I really like when it integrated into the power menu. Other than that I am liking this rom so far. Back to work tonight so I will be using my phone, get more acquainted.

Grab xposed. There's a few modules that add in the power menu options; reboot options, flashlight, screenshot..

I've been out of the loop with the Bionic since Icarus ICS days.  That's what is currently running on the phone (Icarus HD 1.7.4).  I use this as a work phone since the network costs are covered from my employer so it kind of is not my daily driver as a personal phone and I haven't been keeping up.  I have Safestrap v3.05 (TWRP v2.2.2.1) installed.  I was a little bored tonight and decided to see what (if anything) was happening with the Bionic and stumbled upon this ROM.  So I'm going to ask the question I never really ask but seeing as XDA posts have pretty much dried up I want to be certain to follow the right path.  Can I just flash this over an existing cleaned out ROM slot, do I have to worry about old basebands or old ICS kernels?  Sorry to have to ask these questions, but there is not a lot of information anymore on the Bionic and I'm in the market for something new.

If you are currently running ICS on your Stock base side then No. You will have to update that first to the JB 98.72.22 update first or this will not boot. There are a whole bunch of ways to do this, but if you know how to follow directions to the "T". Then you can easily accomplish this through a FXZ following the guides in Either <

The other way is a long tedious task unless you have keeped your Stock ICS side untouched. I would advise uninstalling Safestrap recovery using the app first before attempting any of this. I would also advise clearing out the Data and Uninstalling the App also since there is ver. 3.65 out that is far better you can install after the update is complete. Using VooDoo root keeper backup root on Stock side, then disable root. Take the OTA update, make sure that your battery is charged up pretty good or have it plugged with a OEM charging cable. Once you are updated you should just be able to re Root using Voodoo.

Ok, loaded this one up, looks good with one exception, the GPS and Mobile Data toggles in the status bar cause the error message "System UI has stopped". The toggles in the slide out menu on the home screen work just fine. I installed the ROM in a fresh slot 3 with full wipes just as added information for you. The ROM looks great, lot's of transparency!!

One small request, would it be possible to get Corporate/Exchange account support in this? I use this type of account to connect to Hotmail and my corporate calendar. Thanks again though for something new to play around with!!

Well it is a app that loads up different modules to add different features to the ROM that you are running. The only link that I have found for it is
