In search of a ROM

[golfer393]

I'm running rooted 4.0.4 ICS. I'm sick of dealing with battery drain when I'm in a 4G fringe area. When VZW updated to 4.0.4 they eliminated the ability to switch my Bionic to 3G. I realize that I can do it now using LTE on/off but if I reboot my phone, it changed back to 4G. Question... What ROM works the best and gives the ability to set my phone to 3G and forget about it?

Let me ask this another way... Is there a ROM that will give me better overall performance than rooted 4.0.4? Thanks!

LTE on/off app

I'm guessing that since nobody has responded there isn't a ROM that works better than the stock 4.0.4?

Blurry maxx 4.1

I absolutely love eclipse 1.3.

The lte on off app indeed will allow you to choose cdma only, whether you are stock rom or not.

In love with stripped Icarus. Blurry has alot of bugs right now so im staying away from that for a while.

Thanks for the response. I'll check out stripped Icarus. With it do you gain access to change from 4G to 3G when in a fringe area?

Ya man. I can give you the apk for that app. I can give ya everything you'll need.! Send me a pm

I installed Icarus HD 1.7.4 via safe strap. It seems pretty nice. I like the camera and new droid m style flavor. I burned through my battery very quickly. I'm hoping that was due to installation of safe strap, the ROM, restoring sms, and a few programs with ti backup. I was a little disappointed to see the network type selection still inaccessible like 4.0.4 stock. I guess I'll try it a while and still use LTE on/off.

Should have installed stripped version. Better battery.

Flashing and then playing around definitely uses more battery than usual. Give it a few days to settle

And don't forget to calibrate!

 

[golfer393]

How do you calibrate?

How do you calibrate?

Use your battery down to about 10%. Power your phone off and charge it in power off charge mode until about 20-30 mins after it hits 100% before you reboot it. That will reset the "full" and "empty" flags in the battery meter software. Do it about every month or six weeks.
