Yea my camera is ****ed too now, the front facing one atleast. If you have unable to initialize just reboot and don't use the front facing. I was thinking of getting a replacement but it would be my 4thcamera replacement, twice for keyboard issues and 2 twice for camera issues. Figure I should wait a while till the camera breaks again lol

If he can get the codes and just the basic camera going it would be amazing, no need for the fancy ics features

I think the only ICS camera related feature I want is the facial recognition lock, since it puts some good use into that front facing camera.

In safe? Safe system was fine. My nonsafe was messed up [i hope i got that right lol. My normal system was messed up]. My nonsafe was in an infinite bootloop though. Had to wipe data and it went back to normal stock mavrom. Ics was still ok though

oh ok, do you use the quick toggles, or the normal option when switching systems?

I would say, err on the side of caution, and use the normal option to switch between systems. I've never used the quick toggle, but if the dev puts a warning in the recovery menu (that it's not very safe), I'll take him at his word, and spend the couple extra seconds, to do things safely. :)

I've used quick toggle a few times, no problems using it, I believe all it does is skips the backup process

You might be able to get away with using the quick toggle between stock-based ROMs as most of the libs and system apps don't change much. But using it between ICS <-> Stock-based ROMs is really playing with fire. All it takes is for 1 system app to have a UID change and then stuff starts to go south.

"Quick toggle" was to be used in a worst case scenario where the /emmc partition had an error and was unable to complete the "swapping" process. In effect it's an emergency way out.

I don't recommend ever using it if you don't fit ^^^ this description.

Yes you must fully wipe and have a clean install.
I probably could spend some time and prevent wipe but I've sick as hell this weekend and its alpha so shouldn't be a problem. :) if hash throws these in the next build it should no longer be an issue.

Did we have some people test and confirm this fix? If so I'll change these out for Alpha #6.

Updated some of the tips/tricks/links in the OP. And I'm going through the bugtracker and doing some cleanup.

Please god help, lol

When I turn on my phone screen I'm going to guess about 95% of the time it doesn't detect my fingers or anything until I turn the screen off and on a few billion times.

I tried wiping data, cache, dalvik, and then reinstalling Alpha 5 and it instantly had the same problem. Errrr? What gives? Lol

    I'm booting up a new build for camera testing as we speak.

    It's been a long time coming just to get to this point.

    KNOWN ISSUES (as of 2012-01-12 build):
    • GSM users have reported phone still FCs quite a bit. I have a solution for this but it's a work in progress and takes a long time to do (porting Motorola World Phone code to ICS from Gingerbread). I am sorry for the hassle, but usually a wipe cache/dalvik cache will reset your connection.
    • Mute button on calls doesn't work
    • Camera doesn't work
    • Codecs which reference the /dev/ion driver don't work (including audio only for Netflix)
    • Backlighting for keyboard and capacitive keys only works with "Auto Brightness" set: see here for custom settings http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22637417&postcount=957
    • [NEEDS TESTING]Leaving Bluetooth on but not paired causes all audio to stop working on the phone. If you turn off Bluetooth then audio comes back.
    • [NEEDS TESTING]Bluetooth in general needs an overhaul. It does work to make phone calls, but that's about it.

    HANDY WORK AROUNDS:
    • For users experiencing high battery drain: goto "Settings" -> "Sounds" and uncheck "Touch sounds" and "Screen lock sound".
    • For GSM/WCDMA users who have lost 3G: enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer. Then goto "Phone Information". Near the bottom of that screen there's a drop down of network preference. For GSM-ONLY use GSM (PRL). Exit that screen and reboot the phone. Wipe cache/dalvik cache if you still don't get 3G back or have many phone FCs.
    • For GSM/WCDMA users who seem to boot up into an phone FC loop. Try removing "GlobalNWSwitch.apk" from /system/app folder. Is probably only useful for DualRadio models.
    • For a Gallery replacement use "QuickPic" from the market

    QUICK REFERENCE "/system/build.prop" ITEMS OF NOTE FOR NON-VZW USERS

    CHANGE THIS TO 3 for GSM(PRI), 4 for CDMA and 7 for GLOBAL PHONE
    # Default network type.
    # 7 => Global Phone (4 => CDMA).
    ro.telephony.default_network=7

    CHANGE THIS TO FALSE TO DISABLE THE DUAL MODE RADIO
    # BEGIN Moto,IKDROIDPRO-430, a17673
    # Feature33857 on DroidWE, support DualMode switch, UMTS/CDMA
    ro.mot.FTR.33857=true
    # END IKDROIDPRO-430

    CHANGE THIS TO FALSE TO FORCE A SIM SETUP ON THE LOCKSCREEN
    # BEGIN Moto, IKSTABLETWO-1284, nfjb73
    # without this property, the lock screen would take global phone as UMTS
    # block user to operate before setup
    keyguard.no_require_sim = true
    # End Moto

    ** AS A RULE, IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING "ODDNESS" WHICH ISN'T MENTIONED ABOVE PLEASE WIPE DATA/CACHE/DALVIK CACHE AND TRY AGAIN

    FYI: Fixed the links in the OP to account for the new home of files.rombot.org where the files are located.

    Also, support for this build is mostly done as we are moving to the new KEXEC alpha. But I wanted to make sure that the links were still valid.

    Alright, sounds good. I will flash it when I get a chance. Thanks!

    In this case, I took the updated files from the official soak test (906) and pushed them up so that they are used in the D3 cm/aokp builds.

    Jhiza has the right of it, sometimes you'll see minor improvements here and there. Will need some input as to how much of a difference the new binaries make.

    NOTE: CM9 has added back in the theme system, and I merged that into last nights build as well. And updated the CM release tools -- flashing zips now tries to keep your gapps in place. So from the 5/7 build on, if you have gapps installed and don't need to update them, then don't re-flash gapps after flashing the rom.zip. THIS IS ONLY A CHANGE FOR CM9.
