- Development Ended -

- Change Logs -

- Want A Fully Clean ROM Installation? -

- SD CARD BOOT FIX -

*Features:

- Based on CyanogenMod 7.1 Android 2.3.7
- FULLY working Camera
- Better WiFi signal
- FULLY working Market (able to search and compatible will all kind of apps)
- Working USB storage mounting
- Ice cream sandwich launcher
- Ice cream sandwich font
- Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP theme
- Ice cream sandwich bootanimation
- init.d script support
- Added Nano text editor, Bash shell
- Further tweaks by using init.d scripts
- Zipaligned with latest SDK to optimize RAM usage
- Added data/app function to install user apps separately
- All apps are up to date as the time of ROM updated

*Notes / Tips:

- Since I was using Zargloub's kernel, some problems/ bugs are kernel related so I can't do anything with it.

Kernel related bugs:
- Unable to boot if SD card inserted [FIX HERE]
- WiFi unable to connect WEP protected network
- Hardware acceleration (That's why you can't play HQ video)
- Maybe more..

- Open 'Auto Mount' app and tick 'Enable SD card Auto-Mounting'

- When first boot into Android, choose 'Default Activity' instead of 'Setup Wizard' to prevent FC

- Go to Settings -> Display and untick "auto rotate screen" to avoid wrong screen orientation

- Go to Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Display -> UNTICK 'screen-off animation' and everything EXCEPT 0° & 90°

- Go to Settings -> Display -> Animation -> select 'Some animations' or 'No animation', you will get faster phone response

- Go to Spare Parts -> Window animations -> select 'Fast' or 'Off' to get faster opening speed

- If experiencing Wifi problem (unable to connect) try to change your router Wifi settings to WPA/WPA2, WEP WILL NOT WORK

- GAPPS had already included in this build, so no need to flash the zip separately

- GAPPS like Market will NOT showing out if you din't sign in to Google

- You have to remove your SD card before booting NAND or else you will STUCK at the linux screen

- System will be slower when first time boot into Android:
==> Open all apps, sync your phone with Google, then reboot your phone
==> Install 'Advanced Task Killer' or 'RAM Optimizer' from Market to free your RAM after heavy usage

- Go to Theme Chooser and apply ICS theme to enable ICS style effect

Battery Saving Tips:

- Charge your battery until 100% before installing the build, after that go to recovery and 'wipe battery stats' and then install the build.. this will give you better battery performance and calibration

- Close your WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Data Plan and disable 'Auto Sync' in Account Settings.. with all these steps you can save MORE battery

- Disable 'Auto brightness' in display settings and select your own brightness

- Use any CPU scaling apps or directly from Cyanogen options in Settings to adjust your CPU Max and Min frequency

*Huge Thanks to:

- CyanogenMod
- SP3DEV
- Zargloub
- Dsixda
- RockoDev

*WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU APPRECIATE MY WORK:

- CLICK the Thanks Button

- RATE THIS BUILD

)

12/3/12

IceDroid V5

- Updated Beats lib files.. more powerful bass!!
- Added new keyboard from Xperia device
**Experimental because the keyboard is for ldpi screen device so the layout was a little bit smaller on screen, but it's working perfectly

- Main focus on performance more than graphical in this release
- Optimized RAM memory, highest free RAM achieved on first boot 93MB!!
- Better battery life because the processor does not need to load so much heavy proccess from apps.

Apps Replaced:

Go Launcher EX --> Launcher Pro (lower memory usage and faster)
Original Gallery --> QuickPic (super fast picture preview)
Original Browser --> Opera Mobile 12 (faster web browsing)

Apps Added:

Fast Reboot - Free up memory by performing a 'fake' reboot
Mobo Video Player - Supporting more video format

Apps Updated:

Google Music --> Google Play Music
Google Market --> Google Play Store

Tips:

For those who wants more RAM, search Market for "Auto Killer Memory Optimizer" and "Advanced Task Killer" and install these two apps

Work In Progress :

- USB Storage will stop working in second boot after first time successful connected, means that USB storage will only work ONCE

- I had contacted Zargloub and discuss the problem with him. Zargloub told me that it's NOT kernel problem, however he can't see any critical errors in logcat so we can't locate the problem. I know we can change the system/bin/vold file and also etc/vold.fstab file to make the USB work,
so this will be a workaround and need some time to find a working bin file

6/3/12

IceDroid V4

- Beats audio effect implant into the ROM!! Beats implant+ DSP Manager 'bass enabled'.. now the bass sounds like a BOOM!

- Thanks to RockoDev for the Beats audio mod

--> suggestion and help in translating the app will be welcome..

- Added adfree host into the ROM, no need to use Adblocker anymore..

20/2/12

Mod + Download Section:

Full Wipe Script

Introducing Full Wipe Script for Xperia X1 NAND, originally idea from Sensation forum and mod by jerrytan93 (ME!!)..

The script was packed in a zip file and using updater-script to perform data wiping. Simply go to recovery and choose 'install zip from sd card' and then flash the zip

What will the script do for you:

- Remove old system files from older ROM
- Remove old data files from older ROM
- Remove old system created folders located in SD card, but it will NEVER format your SD card..

Advantages of using this script:

- Save your time, no need to wipe each partition one by one
- FULLY CLEAN all the partitions so that you will get a CLEAN ROM installation (less bugs that caused by old files)

Important Notes:

- Since the script will format your data partition, means that you will lost ALL your user data like Apps, configured settings, account settings.. same meaning as 'Factory Reset'

- This script is encouraged for those user who was having some 'weird issue' that did not happened on other users (including me)

- If you want to keep your user data while cleaning all your phone's partition, you can choose to backup your ROM before applying the script, after that use 'Advance Restore' in Recovery to restore your data partition ONLY

826x WM ROM..

when I saw zargloub was making an improvement with X1 NAND kernel I decided to mod my own ROM, so I use my friend's phone to install NAND with my build for development uses.. the good thing is the reason he buying this phone just because of texting with a qwerty keyboard..

Hammerhead89 · Feb 16, 2012

Excellent!!! All in one place!!! Finally!!! An excellent build even though it's just beta!!! Nice work!!!!

Quick Spot on minor bugs:

IceDroid V1:

- Camera icon too small
- ICS Launcher FC when screen unlock
- Go Locker will not start because Go Launcher not yet installed
- ICS Theme display as "@string/theme_name" in Theme Chooser
- Other bugs?? YOU TELL ME..

thank bro! thats a really good android rom

im getting used to it but one thing is that i cannot use the wifi network somehow :O!
sometimes it doesnt connect, and sometimes it has a weak signal (which is not bothering me) but browser,market,mail and other stuff doesnt work when connected =(
what should i do? or what do you suggest me to do? tryed reflashing through that upsidedown recoverymode....

also i would really like to taste the sensedroid since everybody recomands it! but i would need to install wm again which i dont want to =(
just let me know if u find out why isnt it working

!

everything else is pretty fine! all the bugs you noticed are not a big deal!
the only necessarily thing is the WIFI XD

abkhayyat · Feb 17, 2012

That is depenipding on kernel, the rom should have the same behavior like zargloubs rom because ipthis rom uses his kernel

Yeah the wifi problem is kernel side, and I assumed that you are using WEP type Wifi security.. change your router Wifi setting to WPA/WPA2 will solve the problem.. and zargloub suggestion is rebooting your router and MAYBE it will works..

and all the 'Minor bugs' I will solve them in next version.. waiting for Sunday to come and my friend's X1..

TheNT · Feb 17, 2012

Let's try it

glad to see something new here

Have X1 just for testing purposes, not using it at all

HD2 is in use but dont want to sell X1 cause i love it and waiting something new which will bring him new life...

Hope here it comes

radzix27 · Feb 17, 2012

jerrytan93 thank you for your work ! I have a suggestion. Can you implement default Xperia Ray keyboard in your next rom? I mean an 'alphanumerical keyboard' like on the picture in attachments.

What to expect:

- Fix ALL the quick spotted bugs
- Replace Go Launcher EX with ICS launcher as ICS Launcher was laggy and unstable
- Speed?? Maybe yes since I always zipalign all the apk files before I upload the rom
- Battery?? Kernel related.. but I will post out some general 'tips' for battery saving..

i've set the CPU to 128MHz to 384MHz for better battery. So i hope that the next version may speed up at that level~
