Re: [ROM][ICS][4.0.4] Piccolo - Update on Performance
OK so after a few days of using this ROM on my thrive I am reporting back with results:
Rom is still very stable, has not crashed or randomly restarted other than during the problem below.
Battery life is still awesome.
WiFi & Bluetooth work - I can control my iTunes over Wifi using Remote for iTunes, can connect my Plantronics headset without fuss.
USB Mass Storage works - music in my car via USB
ICS is generally a hell of a lot nicer to use than GB
So tethering is working, sort of. It's running and stable right now, but it seems to be touchy. Sometimes the phone will restart when I toggle on hotspot tethering, especially if it's right after I modify the hotspot settings (eg name, password). I also have not been able to get FoxFi working via wifi, which is a bummer because I'd prefer to be able to use it's proxy abilities. Anyone else having issues with tether?
All in all still the most stable and functional build I've ran and will likely continue using it. I am running a Galaxy Core live wallpaper along with Minimalistic Text and it is smooth, responsive & gorgeous and has little effect on battery life.
I've attached a few screenshots - I've never run ICS on this phone before so I don't know how much this differs from stock - but you get the idea either way Same as stock ICS
