    Nice!

    Yeah 2.2.2 patch fixes those issues! This ROM is so much better than CM stable right?

    Have you used his apps, UCS and FTL yet? They are built into the ROM. Fantastic dev, I'm using his Sense ROM Endymion. Been using his ROMs way back since October when he first came to the scene.

    I'm excited to see what he can do with ICS!
    not a big fan of ucs, i think the cm7.1 dialer kinda resembles ics haha, i'm in love with FTL though not having categories is worth the speed, if he can iron out all the bugs in ics and make it faster i'll have too "buy him a beer" or two lol

    hows the battery life on endymion? or rather the battery drain through battery monitor widget

    ^ screen on (usage seems high because I was using 3G data which kills battery, and just switched to WiFi when I took the screenshot) on WiFi its much lower!

    If anybody's got a rooted Galaxy Nexus then I highly recommend the latest CM9. I know that it is only a nightly but I've had absolutely no issues with it and it seems to be very smooth, fast and stable!

    I do miss sense on my old Desire HD, though

    Aren't there any Sense ROMS for the G nexus?

    Sent from my fingers to your face using my HTC Sensation Z715e

    There's one on Xda that's currently in development although it's buggy and alot of stuff doesn't work yet

    Having said that, the rom does look quite promising so I'm definitely going to be trying it out once it is stable.

    Latest sense version on high end devices is pretty good, but AOSP is definitely the way to go for lower end phones.

    You mean Sense 4.0 or Sense 3.5?

    4.

    I've got the HTC One X and it flows well.

    However on my previous phone (HTC Wildfire) it was very slow.

    Wow, hope you enjoy that phone!

    I also had a Wildfire, but eventually upgraded to a HTC Sensation XE.

    There are some really stable Sense 4.0 ROM ports (CoinDroid) for our phone, ported from the One S.

    It sucks that HTC didn't upgrade us to Sense 4.0. Anything earlier than this (including Sense 3.6) simply sucks. :mad:

    Haha, you will eventually get bored of it, and find yourself back on AOSP.

    What Sense version is that? 3.0/3.5/4.0?
