hey bro if i want to flash from ab4 to stock root ed1 downgraded from ed2 do i need to disable lagfix before i flash?
All this requires me to rebloat the rom, soooo..... i dont know, trying to build a rom is turning out to be a little harder than i thought. because everyone wants everything to work but they dont want it on the phone at the same time so im kind of confused on what to do
I hear ya there, personally keep going down the path you are with the ROM the less BS in the ROM the better IMO. I'll take as close to stock look/feel over anything. And btw plz don't think I'm complaining or care on the My Verizon thing. Just wanted to mention it was not working. That said there is a thread over on XDA by danalo1979 and he thinks he has it figured out. One of the signed *.apk was removed when debloating. He is fixing it up now and will post the file to correct for the folks who truly do want/need it. Personally I could careless myself and I may just delete the MY Verizon *.apk so it no longer shows up in the app drawer if I'm not going to use it. Only brought it up as an issue do to the fact the App was still there but didn't work so I wanted to point it out to you as I know this is still Alpha
You are doing great man. Keep it up. My feedback on bloat: I think leaving most of the stock stuff there is a good idea to please all as long as there is a way to freeze it. Though a newb myself I believe that is possible in a rooted phone right? P.S. earlier I mentioned I didn't care for the writing on the pull down... it's grown on me. AN earlier poster said it best.... this is your rom. Using feedback is wise but don't let people get to you with their opinions.
I am really REALLY looking forward to the actual finished version of this. I bought this phone with the full intention of rooting and a different rom. It's light, beautiful, and 4g. Now we just need to give it a killer rom. Unfortunately I don't have your skillz... otherwise I probably wouldn't sleep until I made my rom how I wanted it. Then the satisfaction of knowing many out there are rocking something you made... it's like the feeling i get from being in a band. I think I speak for everyone here when I say DONT GIVE UP. I have two of these phones. 1 has your rom the other is stock. I am beta testing right here with you 
Great work, definitely keep at it. You are the man in the spotlight right now on this Rom deal. Believe me, you've got a lot of folks out here looking to you for the guidance. Thanks a ton.
Also haha, 3G hotspot isn't working I press it and it take me back to the homescreen

I know DroidCxon is saying it's placebo but I am seeing less battery life, too, after flashing Alpha 4. I know nothing in the battery department changed, but bugs are always possible. Anyone else see battery decreases in Alpha 4?
everything that were changed were pictures all the way down to the shut down animation.
perhaps you are seeing a difference in battery because we switched to accurate battery mod that actually shows you the percentage.
stock battery icon shows up in blocks, so if you ever use an app widget you can see that the battery in the status bar looks like its 3/4 of life but the widget may show 58% so its not exactly accurate so although you are seeing lower numbers you are still getting the same battery life.
this is why i never pay much attention to battery life because it will drive you crazy for no reason, just throw it on a charger when you can...
if you doubt me on this thats fine switch back to v3 or maybe someone could attempt to find the bug in the pictures that were added.
pull the frame work and look into it let me know if you find anything
connect your phone , use the command prompt to path your way to your adb files then do the following
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk /adbfolder(whatever path you have to adb)/system/framework/
this will create a folder with your framework, then you can download a system dump and open the original framework
you can open the frame works to look at the pictures using a program like 7zip , extract to /framework-res.apk
this will create a folder that you can view all the pictures/images that were changed and see which one has a bug i them.
if you want to decompile the framework to look at the XML edits use an application called apk manager, you can google it. place the framework in the modding folder hit the option to decompile and this will create a folder in which it opens the apk and allows you to read in notepad++ what changes were made to the XML files
you can also use root manager to copy out the framework-res.apk file if you dont want to do an adb pull or dont know how
also maybe changing the keys on swype to transparent is sucking up battery or puttin lloyd behind it. you can copy swype with root explorer also and decompile it with apk manager and see what about the pictures suck up battery.
if anyone finds anything let me know please and ill make the changes
For sure.... I was getting close to 23 hours before. And now I'm down to about 13 :/
DroidXcon I don't doubt you at all.... Just saying I think I see a diff. That's all 
. In no way shape or forum am I complaining. I loveeeeeeee the ab!!!!

If anything my battery life has gone up from switching. But really the difference is negligible one way or another. What's your phone battery usage thing state is taking up so much of the battery? B/C in no way should a 3-->4 update half your battery.
oh its deffinately an alpha. there a LOT of things left to do. much depooping to do. ugh

I also think my battery life is worse, I was getting 12-20 hours with the stock battery when I got the phone with my usage, I bought the extended battery the same day I loaded AB and I get around 12-14 hours with the ext battery
I had 1 day it was really good (3rd day with ext battery) then all the others have not been great. I can get through the day ok.
Today I sent a couple text and emails a 1 14 min phone call and I am down 14% already in just over 2 hours

Took my phone off charge at 7am this morning, it's now 11am. I have texted about 3-4 times, checked emails a couple times today. Changed the Go Launcher theme once and unlocked it numerous times to check the time. I'm at 96% battery......my display is set at 50%....
I'd be checking what apps are running IMO, I've been using V4 since the minute it came out and my battery is like this every day. No task killer used, only time my battery is drained is when I have Winamp running, from full to dead in about an hour and a half if I leave it running.

ya something is going on with mine then, I dont see anything running and even start the stock task killer and it shows that nothing is running.
one thing I didn't do is clear cache or wipe device when I installed AB. All my settings were there and I didnt have to restore/reload anything, would that make a difference?

Can those of you having battery problems check that your voodoo is enabled as mentioned in the OP
directions to do so can be found here

Today I noticed significantly higher battery usage. I checked android system info and found that there were two instances of android.process.acore chewing up 100% CPU. However, the "battery use" utility didn't reflect this. Screenshots below...
I think this is caused from Launcher Pro, but I'm no developer. Hope this helps.
