[ROM][ICS][T959] Team ICSSGS RC4.2

cantIntoCode · Jan 19, 2012

NOTICE: We apologize for the lack of updates recently, we just want to make it clear that development has under NO circumstances stopped. We are absolutely still working on this and still supporting it. Thank you for your patience.

This ROM is based directly on the source code straight from Google themselves, the way Android is meant to be. This ROM is produced by a collaboration of many different people, with the main development being done by Onecosmic himself. We strive to bring releases as often as possible and provide a stable AOSP ROM. As this is a work in progress, bugs are to be expected! Please check the known issue's before posting/reporting bugs.

If you can, please donate a small amount via paypal, we do this for fun and this is optional but it is greatly appreciated and it is a way for you to contribute. If you want us to support another Galaxy S type phone and you have an extra of it, we may consider supporting the phone if you donated it to us to work on. If you think you have a phone that we could support, PM me or any other Team ICSSGS members and we will discuss the possibility of us supporting it.

We do not support anything that is not produced by us!

The latest release is RC4.2

Can't get my PC to connect to portable hotspot with this rom(RC v3.1). It does connect with passion v11. But I like this rom. Do anyone know of a fix please.

Dougfresh · Jan 20, 2012

I believe the most stable version of any ics is probably 2.11 in my opinion. Every incremental update to me since that build had been good but has certain glitches. I just flashed the latest other ics rom v14 and I wanna throw my Vib in the ocean!lol I always factory wipe,format system, data,datadata,cache and dalvik just to make sure everything is perfect btw. Maybe it's because One Cos doesn't have a stable proprietary kernel builder and switches on every update? Anyway ima gonna try the latest vib zip instead of the 9000 zip +++ fixes.Chime in please if you've steer me to something that makes it smoother

Latest RC3.1 Vibe zip still had to have things "fixed" up to flash successfully. The code to check if the phone was i9000 was still present, build.prop still identified phone as i9000, and the modem was also for the i9000. Once I stripped out the i9000 code and replaced the modem, the rom installed.

I ended up having trouble with the included Platypus kernel. I ended up installing RC3.1 then Eugene's kernel. Once the dust finally settled, I had a pretty stable RC3.1. I've since moved on to a more recent Platty kernel, because Eugene's had issues with the video camera, which I need.

Just make sure you have a Nandroid to restore if things go south.

Good luck.

@dougfresh

The replacement files for the i9000 problems mentioned above are available near the end of the older one cosmic thread.

Does it still have the vibrant call reception issue? (mute/unmute)

Dougfresh · Jan 20, 2012

Thanks MP and DR J.! I ran rc3 plus and Eugene's and the migrate data fix two days ago.Maybe the PLUS wasn't meant for me/us. I m about to flash rc3 vib full with the new platypus kernel provided in the link in the old thread.Now do still suggest I include the migrate data fix after everything settles. Fyi I dl'd browser + from the market as an alternative browser and seems more responsive

Hey mr pyscho I just noticed in your banner the rc3 rom.Is that one compiled with all your fixes?Thanks

I just came over from ICS Passion v10.6 which I thought was good. Wanted to give this a try.

Anyway I flashed it and all seems good, the only thing I don't like which isn't anything worth *****ing about (I am not hating on it by any means, just a preference thing) is not being able to delete home screens. I prefer 3.

But my initial testing seems to be good so far. I'm gonna test out some stuff and see what happens.

I haven't done an all-in-one, yet. I was thinking about it, but haven't pulled the trigger. My RC3.1 link in the signature just points back to this thread to Onecosmic's release. I've been on the fence as to which kernel to include in an all-in-one release, since the new Platty is good, but I also want to see what Eugene has in store for us. His Streamlined-1 was also very good, and I'm anxious to see what the next version is capable of.

The /datadata fix is only if you want the slight speedboost at the cost of storage space for data files.

I think the sooner you apply that fix (after flashing ROM, or 1st boot), the faster the migration will run due to less data.

PS. That's a good idea about linking an all-in-one to my signature (in the future). Thanks.

Onecosmic uses the stock ICS launcher, whereas other ICS Roms are using the CM9 Trebuchet launcher, which is more customizable.

Why not just manually install the Trebuchet launcher?

You're the man mp! I'm also waiting for sum Streamline goodness also..I'm about to get flash happy in about 3 battery percentage points lol.

Yes, unfortunately. It's been quite irritating. Until this gets fixed correctly, I wish it were possible (tempfix) to modify something (an smali?) to perform a mute/unmute as soon as the call is answered/connected. Not sure if that's possible, but...

@vahdyx.

I read of someone in the passion thread using "tasker" set to:

Phone offhook: mute
Wait: 500ms
Phone offhook: unmute

I'm not to familiar with tasker though and have yet to give it a try

I read people have been using Tasker to accomplish this (auto mute/unmute). I haven't tried it as I don't seem to be afflicted with this problem anymore, though I've left OC and went to NB 10.6.

Also, Nova launcher is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389071

This is the best ICS launcher available right now, and the developer keeps it updated. The launcher will notify you of updates and download it for you as well. Plus, it has neat scrolling effects (cube and the traditional card stack).

More is not always better. I previosly ran rc3 plus for the 9000 because I read the changelog and had more fixes but it's not the case.Now running the Vibrant version with MP's migratedata.zip and platypus' new kernel on page #83 of the old one cosmic thread has made this phone back to a beast.
