Since the first release i feel the touchscreen response a little slow. Most noticiable in the lock screen. I've tested with the visual feedback and the conclusion i came is that the point in the screen follows the finger, but approximately 1 cm behind.
Anyone can confirm this?

same here, sometimes I have to tap several times or slide longer to get the response. anyway the performance and battery usage of this rom are good, thanks dzo.

Could some of those bugs be related to 5.0.2.7 recovery?
I think it unmounts sd card often. I have used blefish recovery with no sd card problems.

Guys do you have a clean 2.11a install? If you don't try that, because dzo has been fixing the volume keys bug for weeks, and it seems to have disappeared for everyone else...

I did a clean install and sometimes, when I turn off Wi-Fi, I have problems in turning it on (in the settings menu, I switch ON and it turns back OFF).

Anyone with the same problem?

With a reboot the problem goes away and Wi-Fi turns ON.

I have a few interesting problem

1. Sometimes when I receive a call the phone responds really slow. I mean sometime screen turns itself on really late (after 2-3 seconds) or it waits on lock-screen for a couple of seconds and then draw the phone application really slowly (it first displays without the number, the displays the calling number than displays the contact picture).

2. Another thing (most likely related to the same issue) sometimes when I turn my phone on from a stand-by, it fails to display lock screen a few seconds (sometime it take 5-6 seconds)

3. And sometimes when I turn my phone on from a stand-by, it doesn't display the lock screen at all. But when I press on power button again, if briefly (maybe for a fourth of a second) displays the lock-screen than goes to stand-by mode again.

4. When I plug my phone to computer, it displays "USB plugged in" screen and there I can turn usb storage mode on, even though my phone supposed to be lock-pattern protected it skips the lock screen for usb connect dialog. (after I open usb and press home or back buttons, it returns to lock screen but I can actually turn usb storage mode on and access my files without entering the lock pattern.

I just upgraded from 2.04 to 2.11a.
So far I don't have any problem yet, it is GREAT!. Thanks Dzo.

Just 1 thing that is surprised to me. Whenever I made a call, the phone will be locked (the screen that we require to unlock when switch on from sleep mode).
I have to unlock it again if I want to use the phone or make another call.

Having issues setting up Facebook sync. The option is there in "Add account" but clicking it doesn't do anything. Tried copying the app to system/app/ but didn't work.

Please and thank you

Please search the thread or google. Facebook sync officially isn't supported in ICS, has nothing to to with the ROM.

Thanks dzo, well done!

    This is a clean ICS ROM built from from the Qualcomm Code Aurora source.
    Everything is functional including the camera, video recording, bluetooth and GPU acceleration.
    This is based on the ics_chocolate branch and a new version is released regularly.

    https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/ics_chocolate

    Full source is available on github, see here:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22770874&postcount=747

    Installation
    underline.png

    To install, you must have upgraded to the official gingerbread rom and installed CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 or 5.5.0.4.
    You will have to wipe data when you first install but upgrading shouldn't need a wipe unless it is stated in the release notes.
    Some instructions on upgrading are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22682229#post22682229
    and here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420728

    Users in Finland on the Saunalahti network need to change a setting for the sim card to load correctly.
    download a terminal program such as connectbot and open a local session, then type:

    su
    setprop persist.opl.enabled 0
    setprop persist.pnn.enabled 0
    setprop persist.eons.enabled 0

    Now reboot.
    You only have to do this again if you wipe data.

    Thanks

    Thanks to the Code Aurora team at Qualcomm.
    Thanks to Tom Giordano/bukington for some of the the ics kernel commits.
    Thanks to early testers who risked missed calls and corrupt memory cards to try it out.
    Thanks to all those who have donated - your contributions help me continue this work. This stuff takes a lot of time so your support makes a big difference. All donations are much appreciated.

    Initial Version 1.0

    camera not functional
    low in call volume
    sound recording is quiet and distorted
    wifi doesn't always connect automatically
    notification led doesn't flash

    Version 1.1

    fix low in call volume
    fix bootloop on enabling cell location
    fix light and proximity sensors
    fix home key on amtel touchscreens

    Working camera (no video yet)
    fix for SD card not being recognised and getting corrupted
    change to the rpc ril instead of the qmi ril

    Version 1.4

    Fix low resolution icons
    Fix Mobile Networks menu when language is not US English
    Update kernel GPU driver to latest version

    Version 1.5

    Fix video recording
    If you switch away from the cam when it's in video mode (e.g. to view a video), it will crash when you return to it.
    This doesn't affect the functionality but is annoying.
    It does full 720p h264 with audio.

    Version 1.6

    Fix a bug that caused the gpu to sometimes crash when the display was switched off.
    Enable autobrightness (don't think it actually works yet though)

    Fix camera crashes
    Fix barcode apps not working
    Include ES file explorer

    fixed some other problems. e.g. with some games pausing while trying to play audio.
    Fix picture rotation for the camera.
    Add smartass2 cpufreq governor, I don't care about this but somebody asked for it.
    Change some values in /system/etc/gps.conf - don't know if this will help.

    Version 1.8a
    Fix video recorder crash

    Version 1.9
    Change speaker acoustic profile - hopefully this will fix audio problems
    Change sensitivity of synaptics touchscreen
    put aurora version in build number
    change phone name, model and manufacturer to the correct values
    fix strictmode not turning off (may need a reboot)
    fix raw picture mode for camera (not very useful)
    set build type to user rather than eng

    Version 1.10
    Fix battery stats not showing (needs more power data to be useful)
    Add ability to skip loading some records from the SIM card (for Finland)
    Fix compass
    Remove some frequencies from cpufreq table (might help with battery life)
    Change wifi scan rate from 15 to 60 seconds

    Free up a bit of spare memory from the kernel
    Add FM radio - (thanks to honking)

    Free up some more memory (camera was being very greedy)
    add headsetmic and dualmic properties

    Version 1.12
    Update to M7630AABBQMLZA4040296I release - fairly big change so this may introduce new bugs
    Use version 0.8 of wpa_supplicant with wext library (should help with wifi connection problems)
    Fix atmel touchscreen
    Add settings for dualmic and headset to settings app (in Sound) - property names had to change so you will need to set them again.

    Version 1.12a
    Fix 720p video recording

    Version 1.13
    Use the 2d graphics core for composition - should make graphics faster and use less power (set debug.composition.type=gpu in build.prop if you don't like it)
    Update power profile so battery stats work better
    Some gps changes (not tested well)
    Remove some unused resources to reduce the size of /system
    Add a system property to override the wifi mac address - use su; setprop persist.sys.wifimac mac_param=11:22:33:44:55:66

    Version 1.14

    Disable some GPIOs that were unnecessarily enabled (may save some power)
    Update FM radio

    Version 2.04
    Update to M7630AABBQMLZA404030I release
    Fix torch in Notification drawer and add torch app
    Add new wifi driver, enable it from Settings..Developer Options
    The new driver uses much less power and stays connected when the phone is asleep but doesn't work with WEP networks and may be more buggy.
    Update GPU drivers to the binaries that were released by Qualcomm.
    Enable gpu composition, 2D is slower but some apps work better.
    Change Bluetooth power level to 2. May help BT connection problems.
    Saunalahti users note that the SIM loading hack has changed - see the installation instructions.

    Version 2.05
    Update to kernel version 3.0.8 (ported from u8860 with lots of work), this may be less stable than earlier versions.
    Only the new wifi driver will work, the settings app still shows a choice but changing it won't do anything.
    New wifi config file (thanks to sbasil).
    Fix the date in exif tags for photos.
    Fix button backlight, now has autobrightness too.
    Fix photo editor crashing.
    Use CAF radio app (has a horrible interface but the old one no longer works). Supports rds.

    Version 2.06_experimental
    Update to latest ics_chocolate (caf_AU_LINUX_ANDROID_ICS_CHOCOLATE.04.00.03.05.169 manifest)
    This is Android version 4.0.4 so there are lots of changes from 4.0.3 and that is why it's experimental.
    Fix camera picture corruption (camera may still not be completely stable)
    Fix wifi not seeing some APs
    Fix some causes of wifi reboots.
    Warning: Since this is a new Android version you may not be able to downgrade without clearing data so make a backup first.

    Version 2.07_test
    Update to latest tagged release for msm7x30 (M7630AABBQMLZA4040305I)
    Change touchscreen mode to avoid jitter
    Update some proprietary binaries
    Fix failure to send vreg rpc to the modem from causing battery drain sometimes
    Wifi fix for occasional reboots
    In /system/etc/firmware/wlan/qcom_cfg.ini I have set gMaxPsPoll=1 because without this wifi doesn't stay connected during sleep. Some people claim this gives problems when connecting to certain APs but I have never seen this.

    Version 2.08
    Fix SD card detection using a gpio interrupt
    Free 33M ram by reducing the size of the surfaceflinger cache and the camera record buffer
    Fix a couple of memory leaks in the wifi module
    Fix notification of an incoming call during a call
    Switch back to version 0.8 of wpa_supplicant (should help with wifi connection problems)

    Version 2.09
    fix sd card not mounting if wifi is initially off
    add haptic feedback for atmel touchscreens (to disable, put "echo 0 > /sys/module/atmel_i2c_rmi_QT602240/parameters/vibrate" at the end of /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh)
    fix bluetooth not pairing
    make wifi module much smaller (from 2M to 800K)
    update root filesystem and rc files

    Version 2.10
    Update ril proprietary libs
    Enable HSDPA symbol
    Fix button lights with manual brightness

    First try at getting native wifi tethering working (turns on but doesn't work)
    Increase surfaceflinger pmem size

    Version 2.11
    Possible fix for volume button failure
    Revert to the larger wifi driver
    Increase minimum free memory available
    Increase echo cancelling microphone level in calls
    Update kernel GPU driver to latest version

    Fix volume button breakage (for real this time)
    Fix native wifi tethering
    Set default min/max cpu frequency to 122MHz/800MHz, this saves some battery and you can always change it with setcpu.

    Version 3.0_beta
    Update to new CAF release M7630AABBQMLZA404031I
    New LED driver (only does the same notifications as before but is much more programmable)
    Use older kgsl driver (possibly more stable)

    Version 3.0_beta2
    Revert to older version of the ril because some people had problems with mobile data
    Use older wpa_supplicant to fix wifi connection problems
    Use the new kgsl driver again since the old one didn't seem to fix anything
    Remove the software opengl lib from egl.cfg
    Remove qualcomm's media parser from the media scanner, this may help with media scanning problems.

    Apply the patches described here: http://epiccm.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/details-on-disappearing-sd-media-issue.html

    The second option will enable Mass Storage (for languages other than English, this will be displayed as PTP mode)

    Version 3.1
    Fix Pinyin Keyboard
    Use small wifi driver again
    Use version 2.0 wpa_supplicant. (this may cause problems with some APs but I think it's better to use this than version 0.8 because the rest of the system is designed for it). If it doesn't connect to an AP, post a log giving all the details and I'll try to fix it.
    Add /HWuserdata as a symlink to the internal sdcard
    Use settings..storage..menu..USB Computer Connection to switch between usb storage and MTP mode (some people have reported lost data on the card when doing this, you have been warned). MTP mode is probably what most people want.

    Well, XDA sent me a One S, so I do have to do something for it, but I'm definitely still working on u8800. I think I figured out exactly why the volume keys were failing so expect that to be fixed soon and I'll update to the new CAF release.

    I probably won't be able to make as frequent updates as I have in the past and I'm away all next week but I haven't given up.

    I've got my u8800 back and have spent the last few days working on an update for Aurora. I'll post it soon.

    I got back from my holiday at the weekend. I stayed an extra week but that means I have a lot of work to catch up on now. I just had a look at the 7630 jb release from CAF and the release notes say:

     The following features are not functional in this release.
     Bluetooth®
     Camcorder/Camera
     HDMI
     Telephony
     WLAN
     Audio
     Video

    (these release notes are not publicly available I'm afraid)
    So basically nothing works!! I don't know if it's even worth compiling it.
