I thought it's your typo

I have "Emergency call". Size of font? What cm10 you have?
I'm using this one: http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100g
and the first one from 24th of Sep

Using Revolt 2.3 ROM normal font size (the Small font didn't make a difference), which is CM10 + AOKP based but the ROM thread doesn't say which versions so I'm not entirely sure, probably AOKP Build 2 anyway as Build 3 was only released yesterday.

I don't think I'll stay on it for too long now that we know there's official JellyBean on the way.
I want my FM Radio back (I never really use it but I like saying to iPhone users, "give us a listen to your radio there", and laugh when they can't deliver! ), and also get Project Butter!
I like all the AOKP features though so hopefully some sort of official apps/CM10/AOKP hybrid will appear.

just updated mine to use the JB Paranoidandrod 2.13 running JB 4.1.1 - very smooth and quick and the battery life is great... also just dicsover a Contacts photo app that lets you use hig res contact photos, makes a massive difference

BopNiblets

Still waiting for one of these, I think they're cool:

The SGS3 has it's own one coming out soon I think.

Flashed Revolt JB 2.4 yesterday and it's got some improvements and new features:

Based on CM10 and AOKP Build 3 (which has a fix for the browser crash when moving the cursor in a text field)

Inverted GApps (wouldn't recommend installing these, Google Voice Search force closed on me but the regular version is fine)
Change track on volume rocker buttons when screen is off.

Flashed CM10 Nightly Builds on my S2 first full day using and the battery is lasting much better than RR JB - plus the frequent reboots dont seem to be happening anymore.

BopNiblets

These little bugs in the ROMs/Android apps are p*ssing me off.
For some reason Google Music put 32 of my previously fine albums into the "Unknown artist" category just I looked at them in MP3tag and the tags were as I set them, all Artist names tagged!

And this, wtf?!

Battery suddenly drops to 3%, I restart and it's up to 45%, I restart again and it's down to 3% again, AAARGH! :mad:

Mc Love

What ROM are you using

irishgeo

anyone using supernexus rom?

Mc Love

Have to CyanogenMod is very good! Handles applications very well and the battery lasts way longer than RR

Considering changing from RR to CM10, getting a little fed up of the random reboots and the phone becoming completely unresponsive on occasions.

I`m using the Revolt JB 2.5 .One very annoying bug .I lose the internal speaker
at least once a day .If I make a call I cant hear a thing until I turn on the loudspeaker ,requires a reboot to get it back working .

Thats what made me change, and if you have any number of apps open, it drains the battery so quick. With CM it doesnt!

What CM10 nightly are you using out of interest?

Mc Love

I used the one of the 14th Oct I think

10-20121014-Nightly-i9100

Trojan00

Thanks. I must give that a go.

What baseband are you using? I am on LPX and wondering what gives the best battery usage.

Mc Love

Yeah I have the same LPX - so far so good in terms of battery. Going to see how long it lasts today without charging. Unplugged it roughly at 05:30

I am on RR 3.0.9 and find that battery lasts about 22hrs with 'Google's Location Service' and 'Location & Google search' enabled. If I disable both of these I get about 28 hrs.

I'm tempted to try CM but would be interested to know if you have these features enabled? I'm actually pretty happy with RR but if CM is better then I want it

Mc Love

Yep have both those enabled. Currently on 16% left - currently 19 and half hours. Compared to RR JB its a million times better, my battery would have died at about 8 or 9pm

rebeve

CM nightly 14/10 is magic.

Top Dog

Got the latest RR through UpdateMe yesterday. Was all set to try out CM before the notification came through. Will try it for a week or so before rethinking the CM thing.

BopNiblets

Revolt JB 2.6 released but has a few issues with GApps FCing, dev says 2.7 is coming so hold your horses for it I'd say.

Tested on cm10 nightly - works fine.

I rooted my phone last night and now none of the apps I'd moved to my SD card are working? Any ideas?

Hmm, just rooted or installed a custom ROM that is using a different path to access SD card as well? Rooting on it's own shouldn't cause any problems..

Mc Love

Anyone else know what app to use for backing up data and apps on CM? They say you shouldnt use Titanium.

donspeekinglesh

Really? I've been using it without problems. Haven't used it to restore much though.

Mc Love

Thats what they were saying on xda if you restored using titanium you could brick your phone.

Link? What version of CM? 7/9/10?

Mc Love

Jaysus I was only reading it on one of the CM's so I figured it applied for every CM - and as I only recently got CM I'd say it was for one of the newer.

Can't find anything, except that some system apps might be using different data structure/directories on cm and different on stock ROM, so Titanium Backup can't work properly (freezing/boot loop and other nice things as a result of restoring).
