there's a workaround in the OP that works fine except still can't mount externalSD on computer

Yeah I've used it, but it is still a PITA to restore apps from titanium backup. Unless I ditch the SD card completely. I use my internal much more than my sdcard anyways. I hope this gets fixed soon for all of the ICS ROMs, because this sucks right now.

Off topic, does anyone know if any of these kernels support undervolting yet? My phone straight up DRAINS when I am playing games or on it for more than 5 minutes.

AOKP FTW

for anyone not sure about the new modem/kernel...they have gotten the battery life way better while phone is sleep. alot of people say there 3g is alot faster but mine sux lol... but I've been getting 10-14mbit down with fd19 modem, and now fd19 kernel has battery life close to gb roms... I cant wait till source for the kernel gets out we'll see better battery life than gb roms ever did...And great job on this AOKP, I don't think ill ever go back to stock roms on my e4gt. No reboots while on 4g everything works wifi gps camera camcorder etc...

Anyone on build 32 having GPS issues? When ever I open GPS status or maps I get a notification that says "searching for GPS" and it never attempts to connect almost like its missing a GPS driver or can't locate the hardware. Never had the issue on the previous builds. And I'm still having the answer slider cut in half with every ghost VM fix I've used across all builds which is more of an annoyance cuz I hate seeing only half of my slider :rolleyes:

gps works great, I use gps status and gps test to fix it. I also use youmail from the market(free) for voice mail and have no problems with vmm on AOKP.

Go back to a stock touch wiz ROM get a GPS lock. The best one is EL29 perform ##4772579# type your msl number afterward restart your phone obtain a GPS lock. Odin el26 recovery and flash this ROM, the latest kernel and the latest modem. When you do this your GPS should work.

It was working up til build 32 its acting like I'm missing a driver, I'm bout to change modems and try out CNA so while I'm in gb updating my prl and profile ill fux with my GPS and get it locked b4 I flash CNA it was just weird it was working right before I flashed 32 and I didn't mess with it til last night and I kept getting that stupid notification GPS status doesn't even tell me how many satellites are locked or not, pretty much like there's no hardware recognition

Just uploaded a picture to Facebook and noticed the progress bar is really ugly in the notification panel. Can that be changed?

whatttttt.... i cant believe this. this is aosp we're talking about, anything is possible.

I made a script that mounts /emmc to /external_sd/ and it works flawlessly and efficiently.
problem is since we don't init.d support on our kernel yet (someone do it!) I have to have an additional app run the script at boot spent couple hours trying to get it all working this morning but only accomplished another work around using a more efficient app than directorybind..
I was looking at how to repack a kernel with init.d and it doesn't look to hard but I have limited resources at my work.. (liquor store)

Anyone with the phantom voicemail, go to the E4GT development section. SavocaFTW has kindly modified the phone.apk to make sure we don't have that problem anymore!!! Give him a thanks or a donation for him helping us!!!

    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.

    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.
