[Q&A] jt1134's ICS ROM - First preview release - UNOFFICIAL

mckooter · Apr 11, 2012

Some have mentioned (rightfully so) in the thread in the General section now titled "ICS here: (more to come)" that it is getting quite full of various bug reports and doesn't really belong there. Since I know that jt1134 is building it and doesn't post much on xda (usually uses RootzWiki) I figured I would quickly start a Q&A thread for us to post in so we can leave the other one clean for his work.

This is not an official support thread and its quite possible that jt1134 won't come by here at all. This is simply for everyone to help each other and keep the main thread clean.

A few things that I seem to have gathered while reviewing the other thread:

The link to the post where jt1134 posted the first preview is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24665001&postcount=272
If you flash the recovery from Froyo bootloaders you will get what people refer to as the "rainbow" recovery, this is very colorful and hardly readable. From GingerBread bootloaders it should appear normal
Camera is known to not be working as of the time of this post
Many apps (including Facebook) launch correctly if you shut off GPS alltogether (this seems to be the solution if you find an app that just shuts the phone off upon launching)
External SD card should show up in the /mnt/emmc/ folder (might just be /emmc/)
If you can't get usb mounted to your pc check out this thread for a tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389375 (thanks for finding it Axiomkid)

Not a bug but a question. Has anyone unzipped the recovery file and flashed through heimdall? It is a zimage in there so I assume you would put it in the kernel slot. My PC and Odin aren't friends.

Thanks.

Just a suggestion, maybe someone making a bootloader package would be awesome. Also, trying to get tablet mode on, so everyone lnows no luck but hold tight.

I'm on CM7 and was wondering, flash away or do I need to flash the recovery provided on this thread?

Thanks for any help...

My wife kept my infuse
oh and loving my Note

Froyo bootloaders will give an uninterpretable rainbow. Pull the battery then it will become remotely readable in the most extreme senses of the word.

Camera works if you compile it yourself.

You have to change dpi... but I believe there's no option to do so. Apps on the market can change the value.

I believe you can, that's how we do it at the Note forums but again, 2 different phones

Flash the recovery. First flash GB bootloaders unless you like rainbows (which I do).

Dont care much about rainbow colors and I'm already on GB bootloaders so flash away?

yes but flash the recovery first. and trust me be glad your on GB bootloaders, if it were just colorful it would be one thing, but its near unreadable...

If I remember correctly, CM7 uses hacked froyo bootloaders, but I might be wrong. Either way, put the rom and gapps on your sd, Odin the recovery first, then follow his instructions.

Not entirely readable, but you can tell which files to flash.

ICS! Awesome!!!

Lol ICS is amazing! Tried it, works well. Anyway, tried tablet mode, went all the way to 120 dpi. Jt must have cut it out, heard on other forums 120 does it (GS2), tried that and had no status bar. Going to have to wait to get that to work... or someone (like me lol) makes a mod for it. It runs extremely nice though, definitly my daily.

I had thought about that as well.
Reasoning it through, I don't think it will be an issue but haven't tried it yet.

It would be useful though, to have the Boot.bin, params.lfs, sbl.bin and the kernel zimage as a 1 straight shot.
That will give gb bl's and the recovery image kernel.

You feel like testing?

if anyone gets the rainbow recovery can you take a decent picture of it so i can put it in the main post, some dont understand what were talking about

although i gotta say i was wondering what everyone was saying about rainbow, until it happened, and then i knew EXACTLY what it was without question
