[TELUS T959D Fascinate]-Running ONECOSMIC'S ICS

---

Hello.

This is where you can look at the tutorial and get the files to install if you feel like jumping into it ...

ICS Step by step and files

Note: if you do flash this and it hangs at the boot screen, pull the battery and flash it again and it should work. Some have had to do it 3 times.

I take no credit for this ROM and full props go to the developers of the above post and all those working to make this happen.

First the look and feel of ICS is nothing short of superb. The speed as of now is similar to all the other ROMS I have tried with a little chop here and there but nothing major.

Yes lots of little issues and items that do not work like the camera and GPS but not a huge deal for me so I am willing to stick to it.

Battery so far is decent. 13 hours and 43 min. on the first charge to calibrate and sitting at 24% still. This included allot of playing with the phone and reboots to test jigs

As for the issues that are somewhat bothersome, they include the following.

1. No home or search button. I know same as usual when installing an i9000 ROM but the key mappings from the GB ROMS does not work.

2. BLN (issue all around) will remain lit until you wake the phone to get the notification.

3. They had to do some funky stuff to get 3G to work so it lags to start. Not a huge deal cause it does start and remain working.

I will be continuing to use this ROM and hopefully everything will be working soon (these guys are flying. Also I have been told that the folks over at Glitch are already working on the kernels for the ICS port so that is promising as well.

If there are any other out there running this on our phone chime in with your thoughts or fixes if you have any.

Thanx
Bucky

Thanks for starting this thread. Can't wait to hear about your progress.

Alpha 7

---

Hey here is the update ...

Installed the Alpha 7 update today and I have to say this rom is fantastic.

1. Camera is fixed and works like a charm.

2. GPS locked in seconds and accurate indoors!! Big improvment over all other roms I have used.

3. HW Acceleration is fixed and working from what I can tell

4. You Tube is fixed and can watch video

Still on the not working list

1. Can not plug the phone in while off as it just restarts. this is a work in progress and known issue

2. Can not record video

3. Will not read a SIM card for contacts and so on (thank god for Google sync)

4. Still no home or search buttons (I think I may need to work on that on myself unless a kernel is released)

SO my review so far ...

No real issues with the general use of the phone. Text, phone, email and web are solid, I have installed apps from the market with no issues and not one FC yet. Battery life is good and nothing is taking over. I have been able to use the phone all day and still have lots left over before going to bed and plugging in. I have not been through a full battery as of yet but that is what I am working on now.

Memory - Last I looked I had 174MB of memory remaining which is the highest I have seen.

ICS is really smooth and fast while moving around. I am going to continue to play with it and report back here for everyone.

I don't use a whole lot of apps so there won't be much regarding those.

Thanx for stopping by and I will post pics when I can.

Thanks for the update. From your review, it sounds like an awesome rom. Can't wait to try it but need them to fix the video recording first. Although I might just cave and try it out just to see what the fuss is all about

Can always restore my current setup... lol.

Update ...

been getting the SOD today and not sure why, I mentioned above that the HW acceleration was working, I misunderstood and it is not fully working yet.

I found that the system partition is very small. There was an update which required copying libs and there was not enough space left to do this (2MB). Not too sure if this is due to coming from MIUI or just a ROM issue.

Alpha 8 was released but had quite a few issues so not flashing that one.

Daily use has been great so far (except for the SOD) with no reception or data issues.

I am still working on the home and search buttons but I think that will get fixed with a kernel update. I tried the keymap file but these buttons do not even register in recovery so I get nothing in the ROM either.

More to come ...

Haven't tried this (likely won't as I need the phone for work) but buck have you tried the manual key fix - some directions in our thread on putting on Darkys 10.3.

Hey buck , was doing some searching in teamhacksung's thread about their ICS port, and someone suggested to change the following and then the key mapping for our phones will work properly. Not sure if the file system is the same for both, but definitely a bit of info if it isn't!

All you have to do is change this part on**arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c*

static const int touch_keypad_code[] = {
#if defined (CONFIG_SAMSUNG_GALAXYS) || defined (CONFIG_SAMSUNG_GALAXYSB)
