That's only for the quick message. There's no option to change the theme.

How's everyone liking CN4?

I'm using as my Daily, only bummer is the bluetooth issue, but I have been dealing with it. So far a week and it's running pretty good. A few lags here and there, but still great!

Like it a LOT!! using it as my 99.5 % daily driver and switching back to IcarusHD when I want to use the BT headset for phone calls. It does seem that a couple of apps like Waze don't like this ROM and tend to have a bunch of FC errors, but that's the only thing I've seen that is not 100%.

Had some problems when I flased it in RomSlot2 (losing /system/.../notification now and then). Should have flashed on RomSlot1, but will for next update.
But everything else was great. Itching for update

Absolutely sweet! Just wish they fixed the Bluetooth issues with jellybean builds.

I'm not getting emails when they arrive. I have to go to gmail and hit the sync/refresh. Its set to sync and to notify me. It does neither. Any ideas? Also update in play store but says package not signed correctly. Not the ROMs problem or is it?

Love it! Been using it since 1.3. Just one thing. Any way to bring back the dark themed messenger?

How's everyone liking CN4?

using it as my daily driver since CN1
only problem that I am having is the lag rare lags(making me reboot), the overclock (it worked with previous version, just not going on this one doesn't overclock) and when i plug in the headphones, use it for a bit and remove it, the speaker does not work until device is rebooted.
But LOVE the battery life, LOVE the theme, LOVE the speed, plus its the only rom that does not heat up my Droid (even stock overheats my phone)

I use this rom as my DD and a super minimalist stripped-down version of this rom would be the ideal rom for me. I love the CNA features, performance boots, etc but I have no use for any of the Samsung/S3 apps and features. I end up disabling the ones I can but it isn't the same as an ultra-minimalist build (like blackhole rom with a CNA base).

Is there any chance you'd consider making a rom like that?

But there sooo nice heheh you can just delete the samsung apps out of the /system/app that you don't want

I flashed this rom a couple weeks ago and it was darn good. Fast animations and good battery drain. I've switched over to your Synergy Executioner ICS 4.04 Rom and I've been using that for the past few days. But this was my first jelly bean and it did not dissappoint. Thank you

Perhaps someone can answer this, since I find it the most annoying thing about using ROMs.

Since we are expected to always do a full wipe system before updating a ROM, is there an easy way to keep application settings? I know Google can restore settings for some apps, but it doesn't seem to work for most apps (maybe because I download many of mine through the Amazon Store)
If OTA updates can keep all your existing information, why can't ROM updates?

Ota updates dont wipe data when they are installed unless you do it manually. The best way to back up apps is to use titanium backup or a similar app. Mind you that restoring apps and/or data can cause issues so keep that in mind. I personally haven't had too many issues with titanium backup but some people font believe it is a "clean install" when changing or updating ROMs. We wipe system, data, cache and so on to make sure there isn't anything left over from the previous ROM as to avoid issues. Ota's are built to be able to flash without having to wipe. Sometimes we do have to wipe data and cache after an ota if issues arise. Sorry if my explanation is confusing.

Awesome job '94, making it hard for a man to live with only 4 slots on his phone. Not fair to other developers taking up 2 slots with awesome freaking roms. Just flashed this morning, have been on Synergy since the beginning, so SWEET!!!. Rom is great wondering if OC zip issue was ever fixed other than that, flawless. Everything is like butter, lol, ICS ota for bionic was only 4 months ago, and here you are throwing jellybeans at verizon for us, thank you much.

Just to add to tmyinc's great answer, when using TB to restore apps, only restore user applications, never system apps, that will definitely lead to trouble! I've been using TB for a few years and the only user app that I've found that doesn't like to be restored is Waze, for some reason everytime I try to restore it after flashing a new/updated ROM it will continually give "force close" errors even when I wipe the data for the app. The only thing that seems to work is to download it fresh everytime and that is a bit of a pain since I loose all my favorite destinations and have to recreate them. Hope this helps.

Cheers

I use Waze all the time too. Favorites should restore automatically once you log into Waze, since they are also stored on their server. I have used Waze for years on multiple phones and it always restores my favorites for me. I am #13 in my state, Pennsylvania (same username).

I had tried to use Titanium Backup in the past when switching phones, but it wouldn't recognize the backup on the new phone, so I gave up on it. Didn't think of trying it when just updating ROMs

The developer has really added a lot of new stuff to TB in the last year or so, the app will now let you back up your call log and SMS/MMS messages amoung other data and it now also will give you the ability to remember all of your app settings so that when you switch ROMS and reinstall you don't have the issue with not being able to find the storage location for your backups. And, if I remember correctly, the app will now allow you to save your backups to the "cloud" (some google place) but since I'm an old fart an don't trust storage media I can't physically touch, I don't use the function.

Uhh, its not expected, you dont have to install a 3rd party rom. Phone comes with a rom, you could just drive that. I believe the proper response is a big thank you with a thumbs up and a +1. If you dont want to do the "work" involved with backing up, flashing, and restoring, then dont, stay stock. I feel lucky to have such a wonderful development community doing there thing making our phones, something to enjoy not just something to remember before you leave the house.
