Does anyone know if hardware acceleration is working? Having trouble with netflix not responding, didn't see anything about it one way or the other.

Yep...need to go into the Google Now settings and tweak all that. Standard or Low Priority is what you want to set them to if you want to see them. And keep in mind too that Google Now actually learns as you use your phone, so it might take a few days while it learns your route to work and back home, etc. A big thing you need to turn on...Check Ins on Latitude. Google Now tracks your overall location with Latitude (which was just now fully integrated into Google Maps). So open up Google Maps, click on your icon and get into the Latitude settings to tweak it. And yes, you can turn settings on that are only available to just you, meaning your approved Friends won't see all your latitude traveling and what not.


thank you very much for your reply. I will make sure I be patient with it and let it learn.. heheh..will report if something cool happens...

Thanx again..appreciate ur response...

Love this rom to death. Was using it as a daily for about a week, until I needed navigation and the GPS took about 15 minutes to lock. I can't use this rom until that's fixed. But thanks for all the hard work. The rom itself is fantastic.

Just a thought. Have you tried the app Faster GPS(market store)? I've had fast GPS everytime it is needed.

What did awhile back was move Maps from system/data/apps folder to the system/apps folder and rebooted. Then everything started working right.

Thank you for a great rom.. This is my first rom i ever used. I do have a couple rookie questions. I cant download any apps to it is there something i have to do other than go to the play store? Do you always have to run safe mode to use the rom? Finally on my stock rom now that is rooted how do i delete bloatware?, Again thank you

as long as your signed into your google account apps should download fine.

if you exit safe mode you will be stock with root.... you can ONLY FLASH roms on the safe side.

You can remove some bloat with titanium backup, but that only deletes unused crap apps that come preloaded. best bet for a stock experience is to flash a stock debloated rom

It seems like my battery is now running down so fast. Way faster than it did prior to flashing the ARTIC ROM. When i check the battery stats, it shows that the screen is the battery hog and I have the screen set at 30%, same as I did prior to flashing. Is there a setting somewhere that will help me regain some battery life? What have you experienced ARTIC ROM users discovered?

It usually takes 2 to 3 days for the rom to settle in. I've been on this rom for 6 days & very pleased with battery life.

I flashed on Sunday and it's now Thursday. I figured that would be enough time to settle in.

I would suggest downloading CPU Spy from the market and find out what speeds your processor is running. While your screen is off, your phone should be spending a significant amount of time in deep sleep...

Shut off GPS if you are not using it. Also, check mobile from global to LTE/CDMA. I did both and I get about 12 hours-14 hours with slacker on and Bluetooth on the entire time. I usually start slacker from 7:30AM to 6PM or whenever I get home and I still have about 15% left and from then, I usually just text and emails.

Done. Will see what is going on with the CPU. Thanks for the suggestion.

I typically only have GPS on when traveling. Haven't traveled since the flash. Verified phone set to LTE/CDMA. I'll sit back and wait to see what the CPU Spy app shows and go from there. Strange though why my screen uses the most battery, even when set to roughly 30%.

Is anyone having an issue with your data completely dropping more? Mine will just drop off completely and then have to recycle itself to come back on.

I've been running this with almost no issues, say for a couple things here and there that have already been noted on several posts. Looking good though!

Any news for when Arctic HD will recieve the 1.1 update the softkey version of Droid HD has gotten? :P

Can I replace the gallery and camera with stock moto? I miss pressing the preview image on the camera and opening the last picture. If so, what files do i need?


i too would like to have the picture pop up right away from the camera without having to navigate through the gallery. Blur camera is great for seeing everything you're taking a picture of, though!
