Welcome to BlackICE​

Dear Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Mr BlackICE died peacefully in his sleep last night. He was an excellent ROM with a stylish physique and good battery usage. He had a long life and continued to be popular in his later years even after the younger generations of ICS and Jellybean sprang up. I know he will be missed by many.

Many thanks to Chez for keeping this beast alive on its last days, and thanks to this great community and supporters.

Now time for some eulogies below...

Amen to that. Thanks Alienmind and Chez for this great rom. I have used a long time and often went back to it after trying some of the newer stuff. But to all good things comes an end unfortunately.....

Cheers to both of you; my DHD is long since gone (lost and/or stolen) but it was this ROM that switched me over to cm, got me into building from source and is thus responsible for the hours I now spend waiting for jb to compile on my painfully underpowered laptop.

Great piece of work, you should definitely be proud.

That's great, except for the lost/stolen part. All of us that build from source or make mods were motivated to get started by some thread so it's good to know that this thread did more than just support the flash-a-holics :)

What? No! This is still my daily driver. Can't belive it. Of course there are many other newer roms around here. But everything works only perfect in BlackICE.

Thanks for all! :thumbup:

Thanks to both alienmind and chezbel. This was a great rom with great support. I know you also are generous with your time with other devs. Many thanks for all you do and contribute. Black Ice was/is a great piece of work you should both be proud of!

Fare thee well, BlackICE. Nothing transformed my DHD like this ROM and, to this day, this is still the yardstick that I use to compare every ROM that I try.

Huge thanks to Alienmind, Paradoxx, LorD ClockaN and Chezbel for all the hours they've spent to develop and maintain this.

This was a terrific rom, as others have stated. Lightweight, great battery. I have a copy on my sd card at all times for just in case I need a perfectly working phone. Gb is just nowhere near as flashy as ics or jb anymore and it's showing it's age.

Goodbye black ice ...

    Welcome to BlackICE​

    Dear Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Mr BlackICE died peacefully in his sleep last night. He was an excellent ROM with a stylish physique and good battery usage. He had a long life and continued to be popular in his later years even after the younger generations of ICS and Jellybean sprang up. I know he will be missed by many.

    ​


    What is BlackICE?
    • BlackICE is a CyanogenMod derivative; modular, extensible and dark... Very dark
    • Heavily tweaked to boost battery life and performance, fine tuned for Desire HD and Inspire 4G
    • All the great features of the LordModUE kernel
    • This is an open project, we accept cooperation and patches
    • You can build your own BlackICE
    Friendly Advice
    • If you are flash BlackICE over a different (not BlackICE) ROM a full wipe / factory reset is required
    • Remember Mom's advice: brush your teeth everyday and take the 5 minutes to backup before flashing
    • * Please read Post #2 thru #5 for more information, including how to resolve Market issues *

    Problems:
    - Some ICETool options delay too much / FCs - just wait ... ICETool is in early beta, it is downloading content for you...

    You can push a text file in /sdcard/blackice/autorun.txt with custom options for every flash.
    See the example file
    icetool script will take care of them and apply your typical options prior to first boot!
    Current supported options at boot time:
    Code: 
     # Switch gps.conf for your country (see /sdcard/blackice/gpsconf/*)
 gpsconf [COUNTRY]
 # Switch ril from the default (rils on /sdcard/blackice/ril/*)
 ril [RIL_VERSION]
 # Set LCD density

 # Boot sound off
 bootsoundoff

    FAQ - thx maatsby


    Q: How do i flash this?
    A: MAKE A BACKUP!
    If this is your first time = Full Wipe
    If you're coming from an older version = Just flash (it will wipe cache's for you)


    Q: What is the recommended radio?
    A: There's no universal Radio + RIL solution in this ROM, nor any AOSP. You have to experiment
    Lots of people use the newest 26.13.04.19_M. But it depends on your region, area, mobile phone carrier, ...


    Q: What is the recommended RIL?
    A: There's no universal Radio + RIL solution in this ROM, nor any AOSP. You have to experiment
    All the G rils are there in ICE Tool for you to test what fits better


    Q: But those guys at the radio thread told me that I must use XXXX-HM RIL for my YYYY radio.
    A: Quoting kitecarl: As the saying goes, "Friends don't let friends flash H-RILs on CM7-based ROMs."
    Seriously - stick with ONLY the G-RILs that come with ICETool and all will be good in the world.


    Q: Something isn't working / is Force Closing!
    A: This is a work in progress. If this is a new problem, report it in the thread.
    BUT SEARCH FIRST. Chances are two other people have noticed this and reported it already


    Q: How do I get a banner in my signature? How can I theme? I hate the default look!
    A: Look at the user contributed extras such as BlackICE graphics thread by jameslsmith or BlackICE MODs: Battery and Notification mods by baltazar.nilsson. Or revert back to default CM looks by using the original SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk


    Q: What is undervolting?
    A: Changing the voltage available to each CPU frequency. Use ICE Tool or the Systune app (or both) to play with this
    Proceed with caution. Freeze / reboot / crazy behaviour is a possibility


    Q: Why does the market say this app is incompatible with your device?
    A: This is due to the dpi. Sorry, but google doesn't like you to mess with dpi. If you use default device 240 it will work. However, if you want to use different density such as BlackICE default 200, either use the old market, or change the dpi to 240 in ICETool, download your app, then change it back. If you use the tool, Market app data will be cleared to make it work
