Ice Cream Sandwich

[shahrier]

Went back to gingerbread
I get the black-screen-of-death on both p5 and p6 builds (texasice's ICS ROM). Maybe because I am using xdata?

 

[el_infor]

after video recording was implemented i finally flashed texasice/evervolv-perdo andthe rom is amazing, fast ans stable

I had to back to GB for two ONLY reasons

Viber is not compatible/running on ICS
No gpu acceleration. I couldn't see fluent videos

That's all. The battery perfomance is excellent, specially on idle

I hope this two issues are fixed in a short time. Then i'm moving to ICS until Jelly Bean is flashable for N1 LOL!!!

im using ICS on my HP Touchpad and is pretty impressed. in comparison to CM7 which was kinda buggy which had led me back to use WebOS, CM9 was like a few level jumps up.. works so smoothly ... which had led me to this thread...

guess ill wait until a better version or CM's ICS version comes out for my N1

I am using texasice's ICS ROM p6 and I don't see Profiles (e.g., Work, Home, etc...) option. Do you think they will be included in future updates?

 

[e.coli]

a2sd implemented by texasice is the best compared to all other implementation I have tried so far. Check out this post by texasice if you are interested.

I am using the "xdata" feature so I can finally see 2 GB internal space! Also I have not seen any slow down in speed while using "xdata".

Just wondering... if you have run a2sd but not xdata, what happens when you install more than 200MB of apps? Does that screen show the installed apps as being larger than "Total space"?

 

[shahrier]

It does. For some weird reason I couldn't install anymore apps after this point.

With the new iA2SD script by timbit for samuaz's ROM, you can now see your ext-storage as internal storage.

Anyways, which of Samuaz's CM9 ROM or texasice's ICS/evervolv build should you run? What's your opinion?

I have yet to try Samuaz's v6. In his v5 I didn't have any random reboots or black screen of death. However, v5 has the old a2sd script so I couldn't install anymore apps after a point (see my previous post) also calendar didn't work on it.

Samuaz claims calendar works in v6 so give it a try if your interested (the ia2sd scripts sounds cool too).

I am currently running texasice's p7 and it is working quite nicely. No random reboots yet, calendar works, gallery works, camera works (almost ..)

I tried both ics roms and like samuaz better. But there is no fundamental difference.
Both roms are good enough to be used as a daily driver. Samuaz build has less bugs, a more fluid experience and some cm9 features. Texasice is more of a vanilla experience.

MeDroid from samuaz is really stable, I'm using it every day and I don't have any problem, just some little bugs.

Give to it a try, it's really good.

 

[juliusedward]

Medroid with zKernel is pretty smooth and stable for me. ia2sd makes the rom even more polished.

I have used texasice's builds in the beginning days. But i like samuaz's better for only one reason. It is CM. I am used to using the notification widgets and looking forward for some other CM7 features to be added

Hey guys, I've got a question:

Why do most ICS ROMs need Blackrose and changed partitions?

I'd like to test some ICQ ROMs but I really don't want to mess with hboot and risk to brick my beloved N1. Now it seems like MIUI is an ICS ROM but doesn't need repartitioning.

How is that possible and why doesn't every developer do it like that?

 

[Theshawty]

It's not really necessary to have a repartitioned hboot for ICS because it can still fit on the stock partition. BUT! Doing so will leave you with such low internal memory for installing apps, that it's generally no idea to leave it at that.

 

[xafix.kay]

Medroidmod is the best so far..

Htc Google Nexus One
Medroidmod ICS 1.4.0 HWA
Amon Ra 2.1.1
Latest Blackrose Hboot

I'm not sure if this is the relevant place to put this info, but I found that I was getting crazy weird reflection/ghosting behaviour in my wallpapers after upgrading from stock 2.3.6 to TexasICS p10. On doing some experimentation I learned that while on 2.3.6 it was fine to use .bmp wallpapers, ICS seems to be rather unhappy with that format. Re-saving the same images as .jpg files fixed the issue completely.

The bmp and jpg has different rendering. bmp is for bitmap. I don't know much about picture but I believe the JPG has clearer color.

 

[NZLion]

I used a bmp wallpaper previously because I wanted to avoid compression. I was trying to avoid banding in gradients as much as possible so that was my attempted solution. The file sizes are generally much worse on bitmap images but since it was indexed color anyway, it wasn't really a concern to me.
Since it previously worked fine on gingerbread, I was surprised that it was an issue on ICS.

Which Medroid are you using? And which zKernel number? I was trying to flash zKernel #21 with MedroidMod v1.4.0 but it didn't work.
