ICS a place to chat

jlmancuso · Dec 2, 2011

Ok I thought I would start a page for everyone trying out the new beloved ICS alpha roms to talk. This way the developers can work and their pages stay clean.

I have installed the latest preview 1 plus the zip labled as hardware acceleration. plus the inivisable tweaks. This thing is running like a champ now. the keyboard is responsive. I turned off the animations and forced the 2d gpu settings. I also have v6 supercharger installed. Been running for almost 4 hours without any random reboots. 3d games will suck but the 2d ones are running good.

What does not work or work correctly

Seems like people keep having hissy fits in the development thread.

But anyway, I'm excited to get proper HA and headphone port fixed, when that happens, this will be my daily.

I use Netflix too often to live without using headphones.

There's been great progress so far though. I popped over the Epic 4G Touch thread and they're nowhere near as close to getting a workable ICS like we are, just makes me happy I didn't upgrade to the Touch, I was very close to it.

man i posted a long post pertaining to getting email to properly work on the preview in the thread where they were ranting about the ics thread being locked and a min later the thread is gone ha should have copied it to a .txt document... o well ill write it out again

aside from everything already listed as working or not working..

market now lets you download and install which didnt work in A5

I had issues getting my exchange server at work and my phone to work.

The process i went through to get this to work was:

reboot into recovery
wipe data/reset to factory
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
Flash ROM
Flash hw_eccel
Flash uninvisibletweaks
Reboot phone

Then i setup all the incoming server configuration settings and connected finally everything is syncing

Rebooted into recovery
Flashed GAPPS for ICS
Rebooted and was good to go

On my second day of daily use and cannot believe how well this is running. No reboots. My only dislike is the lack of buttons in the notification bar. I can't wait for a beta version to be released. Having the camera working would be awesome. I want the lock screen that recognizes my face! That would be super cool.

I have had no issues with it so far, but as we know not all evos are created equal. The next release is due out later tonight or tomorrow. Headphones will be working along with a few other things. They are testing a new kernel. Will post more as it becomes available. Till then have fun with your new play toy!

I've been running Preview 3 all day, pretty awesome, way faster than all the previous releases

jlmancuso · Dec 4, 2011

Well I just got preview 3 installed and must say it is great! Although I was wrong about the headphones they still don't work but the gallery does. Preview 4 is scheduled to be released tonight and headphones and mms is claimed to be fixed.

Preview 4 got released earlier, can't try it right not but might later, btw, the download links are here: http://infectedrom.com/showthread.php/632-EVO-4g-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-from-source

Seems headphones are fixed, i still can't wait for proper HA to be implemented though, but the development has been going very speedy.

jlmancuso · Dec 4, 2011

I have installed preview 4. Gallery is working along with the headphones. I had some issues with the browser closing immediately after opening but a couple of reboots later and it worked fine. Also a few display anomalies in landscape view but nothing consistent. Google is now syncing my apps. Still no camera yet but its on the way soon. Mms will send and receive! 3d games I use are working but are little bit slow yet usable. Newest version of script manager does work and so does v6 supercharger.

I can confirm that if you wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, you can flash P4 over P3 with no ill effects.

Andr3wD · Dec 5, 2011

Preview 4 is good enough that I am now using it as a daily rom. But it has some weird issues, like after awhile apps won't open. They open then close right away, like the browser problem in the post above me. Hmm...ctually it may be that I have to close some apps from the multitask menu. I just thought about that idea. lol.

And the screen has a hard time coming on. But besides the obvious it's working great.

Did a benchmark test on this rom and it is right in line with the scores I got using cm7.

I have v6 supercharger installed but have not installed the unvisabletweaks.zip on preview 4 yet.

Ive been running the ICS P4 since last night and am loving it! Its butter smooth and I've only ran into a few snags. The primary being my home button isn't working and neither is flash. I'll try reflashing to see if i cant get the home button to work. These guys have done some amazing work! (Post 1 of 10, damn developers restriction)

vulcan001 · Dec 5, 2011

Im having some problems with my ICS flash. The phone is flashed fine, did a minimal data, cache, & dalvik cache wipe but when flashed & running the menus a laggish on mine. But when loaded into an app it runs quickly. My market is all jacked up not allowing me to download some things, as i know some apps arent compatible. Help?

jlmancuso · Dec 5, 2011

Second day on preview 4 with only one reboot. While using the xda app it froze and rebooted. Most of my apps work but I had to update a few to get them working. My gps is good within 15 ft. No sluggish menus but I also did a full wipe of everything. Market downloads have also not been an issue for me either. I am using the gapps listed as preferred. On the ics keyboard I can't get all caps to stay on, but I use SwiftKey X so it is not even a issue for me. Last night I flashed unvisable tweaks and only made about 3 point difference on the benchmark.

Well just did a full factory wipe then a data wipe & all that biz & got the rom flashed with everything else & the rom is working absolutely awesome! Got no complaints besides my messages not going out if they exceed a certain character limit... Wonder whats wrong? Any fixes?

Btw jlmancuso how do you get the v6 script running on your phone? I got the zip file but it doesnt install says it needs update.txt or something like that.

jlmancuso · Dec 5, 2011

Vulcan001 make sure you have the newest script manager installed and supercharger update 9.
