so happy that a unicorn just took an ice cream flavored **** on my phone today. Bricked my E4GT when this ics madness started. Tried to get it fixed. No luck. Got my new one today after stalking the forums and within 30 mins was watching a pink unicorn boot up! Gotta say i'm loving this ROM. Pesonally the font doesnt seem too different from roboto but im guessing one could probably use Absolute System Root Tools to swap the font, boot anim, etc... but again i'm loving it! Gingerbread can remain in the past.
I cant believe i'm bothering to mention something so minor but maybe it'll benefit somebody. But, when you toggle the gps off using the power widget it doesnt correspond with your changes in the drop down thingy. No biggie. Not for me at least :) awesome!
awesome!
awesome!
Whoot!!

I installed the black theme for nexus s and lost phone contacts icons. I tried to replace apk with root ex but still did not show. Ant suggestions. Thanks

Its a glitch in his theme, not the ROM. I got the same thing on my NS4G. His Milestone 3 version was perfect but either phone apk is missing or not working properly. He does update often so there will probably be an update soon but you may have to flash the ROM again. I would think a cache and dalvik wipe would work with new recovery but I haven't tried that myself so I can't say any directions other than listed in OP are OK. I should have reported that theme bug since I saw it myself earlier but life distracted me

Same bug with the A2 build however. No charge indication while the phone is off. Not a big deal since I know the phone is actually charging.

So got AOKP back up and running (thanks Epix4g), but still having issues:

1) re-flashed CM7, booted, got a lock on GPS, booted to recovery w/o turning off GPS, flashed AOKP, but still no GPS. I cannot figure this out. Unless I don't know what "lock" on GPS means: I'm just loading GPS Status app, then getting like 10/10 satellites, accuracy like 6m... that's a lock, right? Any help getting GPS working is appreciated!

2) I flashed gapps, but they didn't take. No google apps here. Not sure what that's about. Is it safe to re-flash gapps through AOKP's stock recovery?

3) I tried to rename emmc and move to /sdcard/external_sd, but I ran out of space. So it was definitely trying to copy everything over, not just do a symlink. So not sure how to get that all sorted.

1. Probably missing /system/lib/hw/gps.exynos.so . Pull down alpha2, extract that file and push to your phone. Make sure permissions look like the other files in that dir (644).
2. Bad download? http://goo-inside.me/gapps
3. I don't have any pics on my external_sd anymore, but I can confirm that
mount --bind /emmc /sdcard/external_sd
(run as root) at least gets your external card available there. Going to put some pics on it and see if Gallery picks them up next.

Did you push the GPS.exynos4.so file to system/lib/hw?

I'm also having GPS problems. Not seeing any satellites in GPS status. Where do I get GPS.exynos4.so? And can I just "push" it into system/lib/hw with a root file explorer?

Yes. If you have alpha 2 or another ics based rom on your computer it will be in the zip file. Sorry I'm not more descriptive... Currently mobile

    AOKP ICS 4.0.4
    This is a Port of AOKP, not built from source yet, but still awesome.
    Thank you: AOKP Team, T.C.P., Sbrissen, marcusant, Calkulin


    DISCLAIMER: Flash at your own risk. DO NOT USE AN ICS RECOVERY TO FLASH THIS ROM. It has been known to cause bricks. Not responsible for damage done to your device or the zombie apocolypse.

    Screenshots


    I want to make sure this is clear, T.C.P. is the man that brought us AOKP. He is the sole developer here. I am just a simple man that likes to add the little stuff to help him out and provide support. So for the new folks or those that want to know, this started in the General section. I brought up AOKP and T.C.P. was on it in a flash and was kind enough to keep updates as the AOKP team updated their ROM. Eventually its popularity brought it over to the Dev section and here we are now. So please, be so kind as to throw this good man some bones for his hard work. He is having some issues with his dev machine at this time and any little bit will help so that he can get it fixed and keep us updated with this outstanding port. Thank you to all and Enjoy!

    T.C.P. has become a victim of a brick. Please donate so that he continue his awesome work for us. Donate link is below. If it isnt working at any time, let me know.




    Changelog:

    Bugs:
    No 4g ( will be in next build fom source) - Fixed again. Build 32 04/16/12
    MMS - wont receive ( easy fix but forgot to add it :/ ) - Fixed
    Youtube - Green line and blue tint. Still works though. - Fixed
    SD not recognized by gallery and music app. Thank you sbrissen
    Data loss when transitioning from wifi to 3g. Thank you sbrissen
    GPS file missing Added in 03/15/12
    No camcorder - Not til source is available. - Appears there may be a work around. - Fixed
    Video playback via browser not working. - Fixed
    Theme chooser causes bootloop.

    Install instructions.
    I always recommend a fresh install when moving to a new update. Once we have official release and recovery support, I will include an update instruction.

    -Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via the PDA option in ODIN/Mobile ODIN
    -When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery.
    -Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache
    -Flash ROM
    -Flash Gapps
    -Reboot

    Some reports state that it may need a second flash of the rom to get it to boot. So if your initial rom flash is really quick, flash the rom a second time, right after the initial flash.

    Kernel - Optional
    Some are still having data loss. Its minimal but it may be kernel related. So as we get new leaked kernels, they will be posted here so people can try them.

    *If you are restoring a Gingerbread ROM, just restore and reboot.

    Tips & Tricks
    Disable Hard Keys - Thank you -EViL-KoNCEPTz-, swampgoblin
    Make sure you enable the Nav Bar in Rom Control BEFORE you disable the Hard Keys
    - Download ES File Explorer
    - Go into ES File Exploerer settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System
    - Locate file sec_keylayout.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
    - Open it with ES text editor
    - Delete the four lines of code and save. It will automatically create a back up of the file and will now be called sec_keylayout.kl.bak. If you want to re-enable, just delete sec_keylayout.kl and rename/remove the .bak from the back up file.
    Currently the backlights have been turning themselves off anyway but if you want to make sure they stay off, go into system settings>display>custom backlight settings and enable Use custom. Then select edit other levels and make sure the buttons column are all 0. Save & apply.

    Workaround to mount both SD locations on your PC. Use Multi Mount from the Play store. - Thank you Killaphatboy

    Workaround for sd_external. - Thank you gershee
    ***FIX***
    - Download/install DirectoryBind http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
    - Set up the source and target directories. (source: /emmc target: /sdcard/external_sd). save.
    - Click on the little floppy disk on the left of the field you just added, it should turn green. this enables it!!!! don't skip this! it must be green for it to be enabled.
    - Goto preferences and enable "Bind on boot"
    profit. 
    gallery and music now work.

    It appears that you may have to rescan your media for this to work for some. If you are having problems with this working, try downloading Rescan Media in the market.

    Alright Guy's. I can't stop thanking you guys enough. I have received 220 in donations. More than enough for a phone. Just deposited it to my bank account and should be all set Sunday at the latest. Again thanks a whole bunch. And expect more updates from me and Team Nocturnal. Again thanks from the bottom of my heart :cool:

    alpha incoming within the next 2 hours.. that is all

    Umm...ahem..*cough*, I don't want to turn this into a ***** / flame session...BUT-

    This IS a fair question. It might be annoying to see every few posts..but it is fair. A good number of people donated cold hard cash for a new phone and while it DOES NOT entitle us to any expectation of receiving something at a certain time, it would be the right thing to at least get an update every few days. He did post several days ago that it was coming same day..so it's not out of line here.

    I'm happy to wait however long it takes, but communication is key. I'm not saying we should expect a book, but a line or two of status isn't that hard. (Please?)

    Whoa. I really don't think you should have thrown the donation comment out there. If you believe it doesn't entitle you to anything then you should have never brought it up. With any type of work, unforseen errors can occur at the last minute. While I obviously don't get to see Erick face to face I do know he will go silent even with me while he is busy. When you are determined to make sure things work properly, everyone has their own way of coping. This kind of work can work the mind to the point of pure frustration. Erick will get it when he feels it is ready. Just because he doesn't keep a blog of everything he is running into, doesn't mean you can start rambling off mad because he isn't appeasing you. I am pretty sure that Erick has brought plenty to the table to deserve any donation you sent him. Now I ask that you stay on topic and be patient. Thanks.
