Re: [ROM][ALPHA] quattrimus CM9 (ICS)

Like Leslieann said this is alpha,not meant for daily. It may act like it but so many things dont work. I rely on my OV for mostly everything. Probally restore my IHO backup later. I will stay close to this thread.

Re: [ROM][ALPHA] quattrimus CM9 (ICS)

The only problem I see thus far for people who use this alpha build as a daily driver would be the 3G and messing with it everyday or every reboot to get it to work.

Re: [ROM][ALPHA] quattrimus CM9 (ICS)

but for an alpha it runs well to be some peoples daily driver im just mnessing with backep up stuff on my ics rom so i have no probloms restoring

Actually, it doesn't and you shouldn't expect it.
ICS working on the OV isn't even 24 hours old, and this rom isn't even half that. The devs are still testing and working out major issues. If the devs don't know for certain what to expect, the average user can't.


I know you all have a lot of faith in the devs here, but most roms get at least some sort of testing, this is not only brand spanking new and very different, but pretty much completely untested. This is the sort of thing the devs normally do behind the scenes, not out front where all all of you can play with it. You are all playing fast and loose, and it's not something normal users should be doing. You don't know if that next setting will trigger the cpu to go nuts, cause the battery to over-charge, or completely brick your phone (all three of which have happened on other phones) and many of you will really be in a jam if something serious happens.


I'm not trying to single anyone out, or be a b*tch, I'm just saying, be careful.
When the devs are saying it's not ready for daily use, you should probably listen.

Well I'm trying it for 2 days or so to see if 3g is ever dropped completely for me or any kind of reboot and I'll post whether or not I did encounter any other issues.If anything happens to the phone I really would care as I can go get another one don't mind.

Re: [ROM][ALPHA] quattrimus CM9 (ICS)

Ur very right Leslieann,no telling what could happen. But we all take a risk when we mess with custom roms. A year ago i didnt know much of anything about this stuff. Now I dont think twice about flashing a rom,but this is different. Everyone be carefull.

Re: [ROM][ALPHA] quattrimus CM9 (ICS)

I'm not trying to scare monger, odds of any of that is extremely slim, the point is, all of this is testing to find out this sort of stuff no matter how slim the chances. It's all lots of fun, just don't get ahead of yourselves and destroy your phone. They are tough little buggers, but not unbreakable.

If I destroy mine, I have another phone, it's on my head and I have to pay for it. It's a lot different for someone who can barely make their phone payment or has to explain to their parents why their phone suddenly died and they need a new one.
