I LOVE this ROM! I do have only one problem and it may be a simple fix but I can't find it. I seem to have lost my keyboard on everything! the only thing that comes up is the speak to text. Plz help a noob out. This is my first root and rom and it went flawless untill know.

Thanks

[jcwilliams]

is there by chance a way to get rid of the toggles on the notification bar on this rom?
thanks

Don't worry, I has APK

Knew you'd get it. Seems nice. SwiftKey user here. They are coming out with "flow" shortly for beta testers. Probably similar to this.

I'm on tapatalk so not as easy to get to feature requests.... but would be cool to add 4.2 keyboard that showed up today. I'm using it right now. Works pretty darn well!And now just read the 10 posts before me ! I guess I'm not alone!

try going in to system settings, language and input, and see what keyboards are listed...if one of them is not checked off then put the check next to it if not you need to install a keyboard.

There are no keyboards listed. they used to be there but disapered. can just down load any keyboard and it will work for the whole phone?every app?

Hey guys,

Just a little feedback on battery life since it was a topic of discussion earlier. I have a suspicion and I think it to be worth looking into. For the sake of my comparison I used Hash's CNA and Synergy. The battery drainage on this ROM while it's not asleep is fantastic. The only thing that I think is a bit interesting is that it is draining battery more quickly than both others when it is not being actively used.

Just to give a little bit of the comparison... on Monday I used IcarusHD and got 15.5hrs of battery life on a normal battery. This was including 3g/4g and wifi all day. Also, it included moderate usage of the device. I looked at battery usage, and it said that the Android OS was using 50% of the battery. Now, yesterday, I did the same test using Hash's CNA, and after 17hrs I still had about 40% left. the Android OS only used 30% of the battery.

Now, IcarusHD is my DD, so this is not a knock on it at all, but instead, a suggestion for improvement - or perhaps a suggestion as to something that might be worth looking into. Today I will be following the steps outlined earlier to see if I can find which process is the culprit for the battery drainage, but I figured you guys might be better at this than I am - so you might find the answer more quickly.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, during times when I was actually using the device - I noticed that Icarus performed as well if not better than the others. The problem really does seem to be during times when the phone is not actively being used.

@head or anyone having battery issues... you gotta have an app that is running in the background and not showing up under the battery status... I had the same issue then realized I had an anti SMS bomber app that used 20% of my battery while my screen was off... try to think what apps you might have running in realtime ,weather updates, facebook, anti virus. All of these especially when uses together eat battery life.

I downloaded "permission dog" from the app store which shows all of your apps permissions.. which helped me find my battery drainer..

Also it kind looks like your phone isn't actually charging 100% due to mix up of battery stats. Try to download the battery calibration app in the app store...charge to 100% then wipe your stats...turn phone off charge til blue battery says 100%. power on wipe stats again while at 100% and plugged in.. let battery die completely.. then full charge again... this is exactly what I did.. now I'm getting 24 hours of battery on the extended battery with 50% 4g and moderate usage ..screen on time almost 4 hours...

good luck!

P.s. it could be a faulty battery..I've had mine for about a year and its still doing well... try to put your stock battery back in and see if it gets better life..then that will answer your question... try what I suggested above first..

how did you use permission dog to find your battery drainer?

Just an FYI for anyone wanting a different keyboard; the 4.2 keyboard for Jellybean has leaked and is available for easy apk install. I got to say, this is the slickest keyboard I've EVER used! I've loved Swype for a long time but I think that Swype is gonna get the boot for this. Package this keyboard with the ROM update LOL!

I just installed that keyboard and so far it's really nice!!

What is a good Wifi tether app to use with this rom or all roms??

how did you use permission dog to find your battery drainer?

SMS bomber was a red app so I removed it and it worked...it doesn't exactly you what's draining your battery more or less suggest ones that have a lot of serious permissions..

I suggest people trying to find battery drain do so WITHOUT installing a bunch of personal applications...

I also don't have Google now always running ..could be a reason??

[anthonyg45157]

Also I would like to add that I am getting truly remarkable battery life with the screen off... better than any ICS ROM I've tried...even stock.

Which CPU governor are you guys using? Use smartassv2... it nearly doubled my battery life.. some slow downs might occur when scrolling in your launcher but should be very tolerable especially for the amount of battery life...
