Finally got mine updated.

I love the font.

Long-press powerbutton now very few options compared to GB.
Can't remember what were they before, but also dun like Screenshot not there anymore.

Gonna run thru all relevant settings.

Face Unlock

Damn. After trying out Face Unlock, I'm unable to disable it.

Somehow, the PIN is not accepted.
I still can use either Face or PIN to unlock the phone,
but I can't use the same PIN when getting back into
Face Unlock settings. Thought it's the same PIN ?

My battery on ICS!

On GB, it can last me for 1 day.
But ICS, even better 2x more!

Some one asked about disabling background data. This can be found in settings>data usage and press on the menu ( right button)

Do take note the face unlock is not really safe and there is a bug even when it is first released by Google.

I have tried on the face unlock and use another phone and take photo of myself then face it on the unlock screen and it actually unlock the phone so be careful.

U dun use the phone?! :s

 

[cloudaeris]

do you have other camera apps installed too?
i had similar issue previously, then i uninstalled them, after that back to normal.

nope, it has this issue even after a fresh flashing.
i flashed ICS using generic firmware provided by LiveSquare on Xda since i was unable to do so with *** or SUS.

oh, mine was flashed via pc companion then after installation of all the apps found out the problem.
did a repair, reinstall, same problem.
then uninstall other camera apps, now the phone camera quick launch back to normal.

my problem basically was first quick launch no problem, but subsequent camera button press will unlock the phone rather than activating the camera.

After I play around with Face Unlock, I used the same PIN to go back into the settings to disable it.

They are trying to correct this with the Liveness check option in Jelly Bean, which will look out for eye-blinking before unlocking. Well, still not that foolproof, since you can still use a video to unlock (though it might be harder to find a video of someone facing a camera and blinking away).

Just wanna add. Not just that. You can even swipe away notifications from the notification bar. I See Ass basically has alot of swiping functions.

=X

And yup... whenever you guys put Ice Cream Sandwich as 'ICS', I see it as 'I See Ass' +_+
