DOWNLOAD & INSTALL

MEDIAFIRE: cm-9.1.0-UNOFFICIAL-BETA7-espresso.zip [UPDATED NOV 26]
MD5SUM: d162a4a5e9d46def96ef3b02977eda0d

* All donations are welcomed; if you desire it, you can invite me to a beer


Thanks very much to everyone, your contrib does possible I spend more time on this project !!

Prerequisites : hboot unlocked or S-OFF

1.- Wipe data/reset factory
2.- Wipe cache
3.- Advanced -> wipe dalvik
4.- Install cm9 (it takes a time)
5.- Follow the wizard if applicable
6.- Reboot
7.- Install gapps

* These steps work for me.
** Some a2sd scritps can cause bootloopings.
*** Check the latest available radios for your Location/Carrier
**** Note gps.conf is set up according Europe location

ISSUES/KNOWN BUGS FOR BETA 7:

Headset icon missing (although headset works)

Working, but third part app is needed for:

* wifi sleep (dont use native wifi sleep)
* camcording
* wifi tethering

TWEAKS & TRICKS:
- zram, KSM and purging assets imply CPU cost for a little ram. They are preferred disabled.
- Use "Use wifi in suspension always" + third part wifi timer. Otherwise, native wifi sleep does not work.
- Preferred ON DEMAND CPU governor. Reconmended MIN CPU 245 MHZ (save power consumption is not significant under such low freqs). Don't use 19 MHz
- Voice Search : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25126525&postcount=651
- Camcording works with third part app as Camera Illusion.

Youtube HQ / Video HQ is working, thanks to Ganster41 libstagefright fix for Video decoding. However, embebed youtube videos in browser are shown as a black area.

Keyboard lights is not working yet.

USB tethering -> not tested

USB mass storage -> fix 3rd part app : dualmount app.

Superuser doesn't seem to be working, anything that requires it is crashing up.

 

[zeubea]

It seems to be working very smooth, much more responsive then the GB rom i had on it.
However, i'm having issues with my widgets and when you load the phone the first time (At each boot) it gives you FC on WiFi Calling.

But those are i'm sure fixable

 

[zeubea]

In legend and ohter device there some interactions with previous installations. It is recommend a fresh install with all wipes and formats (including sd-ext), doing previously a full nandroid. I format also a 2G sd-card when major changes are done. To some users helped fixing permisions in CMW.

Well, if it is smooth at 600 MHz think how it will be to 806


You can browse the device tree and suggest commits or so, of course

I've done a full format, including the SD-Ext and Swap partitions
As for overlocking, i've put it on 787, as i recall i had crashes on 806

 

[zeubea]

well, then root is ok, doesnt it?

[bearshare]

Flashing...;-)
And, enjoying the smoothness of ICS on a 600Mhz device.
Everything is fast. Experience FC at first place but a reboot solves it all.
The keyboard is a bit lower than usual with half of the last row hidden.
Web browser is faster than usual. And many things more that can't be told within the first 10 mins experiencing ICS.
Great work and waiting for the fixes.
Thanks so much zeubea! (and other develoeprs as well

After I updated the Superuser and put SuperSU and rebooted, it started working correctly.
Do you know which files i need to fix to get the Home/Genius buttons working? have the Fn wouldn't hurt either

 

[zeubea]

What is the name and numer of them?
Actuall keys are here:

the "Genius" and " Fn" i don't see on the list there

 

[zeubea]

I am glad of hear it.

It was unbelieve that this 512 Mb device had not got ICS yet. Indeed I am sure it performs better than Legend! . Well , fun it!

Well, this is the reason becasue is not working

You can update the home by yourself providing rw perm to /system. I will update further.

[MC MILK]

let me try this room. i'm happy for that LOL

Which file do i need to update?
Also, i've found that Location Services, even though it's enabled and approved, is not working in any application which needs it. (Google Maps / FourSquare / Weather Services...)

 

[zeubea]

I means the file pointed out in previous post, in gitgub, you could udpdate your local file under /system with proper key code.

About GPS, check your gps.conf, latest radio and so ...

edit -- ok, gps module is not built properly ...


edit 2 -- for fix gps, unzip and copy file attached to /system/lib/hw , providing rw permision to /system (with adb shell busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)

Wow it's great
I've been playing around with it these are the bugs I have noticed:
Camera seems to be a little messed up, doesn't work properly
Superuser has some issues, force closing
Google maps doesn't find my location
I downloaded Youtube but force closes
Some of my apps force close randomly
My computer installs the driver after I connect the usb cable but nothing appears on the phone! cant connect to pc
Also keyboard's light doesn't work. fn key on keyboard doesn't work

Still this rom is my daily use, It's super speedy

 

[zeubea]

are your hboot unlocked? =>it is preferred.

How can I unlock the hboot?

 

[zeubea]

Well, i don know, in legend is by htcdev.com.
Meanwhile, it seems you need doing /system /data /boot /cache dalvik wipes before flashing cm9.

How can I unlock the hboot?
