I'm considering using this ROM, but there's no preview in the title post. (or I'm blind) Can anyone provide some links with screenshots or videos?

Thanks in advance

Well, it looks just like Android 4, only difference is it runs on the Desire S ;). The rom works great, very smooth and has awesome developers working on it. Only bad thing still is that it crashes under heavy load and the stock camera does not function completely bug-free. But I'm very happy with Android 4 on my Desire S!

Thanks for the info, I guess I'm gonna wait for a stabler release, then, because judging from the changelog I thought camera was completely fixed.

The browser is awesome too! I really enjoy the ICS browser (especially the later versions of CM9 have fixed the WebKit lag)

Extremely unstable. Random reboots in Gallery, Browser, and more... I know it is kernel related. Once we get the 3.0 kernel everything will be flying on this god damn beautiful rom.

I, on the other hand, find it stable, fast, and smooth. It's the ROM I use all the time and prefer it to any of the other ICS versions out there.

Well, if you use your phone for calls and mail only, then you might not have problems. I, on the other hand, use it for music, gaming, the camera and much more. Having this rom reboot my phone 3-4 times a day is not a fun and stable experience.

Sorry to keep posting but I figured this was worth mentioning.
Sense 4 clock running on AOSP ROMs!

Also I have decided to supercharge as the launcher didn't stay in memory so the services.jar can be found for this ROM at android.mimic.ca

Thanks dan-fish, which version and resolution are you using? Anyone else using it? Does it include the weather animations?! Cheers

Maybe you haven't seen it, but there is rotation settings in the display menu? The settings are working fine here running the latest build.

Also, try and fix permissions in ROM manager, that can maybe fix your crashes.

Yeh I've seen it, there 3 different places to turn it off, turned all 3 off and it still rotates.

Does anybody know how to disable car mode, its really annoying me now lol.

Sorry, I can't get it to work. Do I have to change other settings, too?

You could check these points:
- Does bluetooth work? Spirit FM tries to enable bluetooth. Without bluetooth, it won't work
- Did you change the regional band in settings to Germany? Default is North America


Mike Reid, the developer of Spirit FM, told me this:
But beware, this Plus/ICS audio method has some problems on Desire HD and likely other phones. Other audio, such as music, or phone calls may not work. It might even require a reboot to fix.

And I noticed something else:
I have to enable bluetooth manually before I start Spirit FM. Otherwise bluetooth becomes unusable till reboot.

    CyanogenMod 9 Alpha for HTC Desire S
    22hv9d.png


    Disclaimer:
    Code: 
    We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear
war, or the current economic crisis caused by you following these directions.
YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and if you point the finger at 
us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
    Notice:
    Code: 
    These are Alpha quality builds and are very much still in development.

Features may not work, or may crash, they may alternate between functioning
and non-functioning between builds. Please look over the lists below before
reporting suspected bugs.

Please note: Currently only the included kernel is supported. Other AOSP
kernels may not be fully compatible with ICS and may cause issues.

    Work on CM10 can be discussed here:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1776256

    Why are we waiting for HTC to release the ICS kernel source code?
    Click here to read the full explanation
    Click here to see the current state of porting the 3.0 kernel

    Installation (From any other ROM):
    Code: 
    In recovery:
 - Wipe all (system, data, cache)
 - Flash cm-9-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip
   (where X is date of the latest build)
 - (Optional) Flash Google Apps

    Installation (Upgrade from previous CM9 builds):
    Code: 
    In recovery:
 - Wipe cache
 - Wipe dalvik-cache
 - Flash cm-9-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip
   (where X is date of the latest build)

    IMPORTANT - Devices unlocked via htcdev.com:
    Code: 
    If you unlocked your phone via htcdev.com, you must flash the included
boot.img after flashing the ROM in recovery:
 - Boot into fastboot, either by:
   - Turning phone on whilse holding VOLUME DOWN, or
   - adb reboot bootloader, or
   - using an option in your recovery (eg. Reboot Bootloader)
 - Connect your phone to your PC and copy the boot.img from the ROM .zip
    to the same place as fastboot.exe and issue the following command:
   - fastboot flash boot boot.img

Failing to follow these instructions on a htcdev.com unlocked device will
cause the ROM to fail to boot, or will cause other issues.
.

    Known Bugs:
    • FM Radio not fully functional (Hardware should be capable, no CM FM app yet)
    • Random minor corruption on rear-camera stills taken at 5MP
    • Random reboots caused by kernel oops (Under heavy graphics load)
    • USB tethering RNDIS MAC address is randomized on each boot

    Credits & Thanks:
    KanocX for the very generous hosting of these ROMs.

    Also, a big thank you to everyone who has donated and supported our work!

    Ok, so I keep receiving / seeing questing regarding the kernel source we're waiting for. Figured I'd write a little bit of info on what it'll do when it's released.

    Firstly, proprietary files for things like the camera, the 3D acceleration and video en/decoding all hook in to the kernel in some way. As we're using a kernel from Gingerbread (2.6.35.x), we had to make quite extensive modifications to the kernel source so that core components needed for ICS worked. The biggest of these was the 3D acceleration, or KGSL as it's known in the kernel.

    Currently we're using KGSL ported over from the HTC Flyer Honeycomb kernel source. The proprietary files for KGSL didn't change much between HC and ICS, but changed radically between GB and HC. They expected an entirely new interface to the kernel.

    The camera proprietary files have the same issue, but we cannot use the interface from the Flyer HC kernel as it changed *again* with ICS.

    With the leak of the HTC One V RUU we have proprietary files for ICS which will work on msm7x30 devices like ours. This means things like a proper ICS camera without a wrapper for the GB libraries, but most of these require a newer interface than we have.

    Here's a short list of what a new kernel, based on a 3.0.xx source, will give us:
    • ICS camera support
    • ICS camcorder support
    • 3D acceleration without crashes
    • USB mounting without a wrapper
    • USB tethering without MAC issues
    These are just a few of the major ones, but the long-and-short of it is we will no longer need any kind of wrappers for anything. We will have both an ICS level kernel, and ICS level proprietary files.

    Unfortunately much of what's left to be fixed in the ROM will require this new kernel which is why development has slowed significantly. If the early days features were being added and fixed left-right-and-centre, but now things are much slower.

    Hopefully HTC will release their kernel source soon. Heck, we don't even need the saga source, the One V kernel would do everything we need (I believe) but no-one knows when that's coming.

    Finally, the Sensation / Vivid source does us no good. Not only is it for a different architecture (msm86x0 instead of msm7x30) but HTC actually stripped code out which would have been helpful to us. I suppose it's possible it never was there to begin with but it sure looks like it's been removed.

    Really, now is a waiting game I'm afraid.

    Hopefully this clears up some questions, but I also wanted to take a quick second to say thanks to you all. Thank you to everyone who has supported both myself and nk111 with kind words and donations. I won't speak on nk111's behalf but for me it means the world to know you enjoy the work I do enough to part with your hard earned money, so again, a huge thank you!

    Success!!

    I finally got the kernel to boot and dump a log. Tracked it down, finally, to CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET being wrong so the kernel never started.

    Finally, progress =)
