I read earlier that its a sdk port and not source code. Is there a quick explanation regarding the difference between the two.
[Nexus S General] tylerwatt12:
Whoops, typo. I meant SDK..
[Nexus S General] barnacles10:
Source code is just that, source. The actual source used to compile android. The android SDK is a tool released for emulators allowing you to emulate the os on your computer, for example. These ports are ported from that emulator while roms you see around here are built from source for your device.
[Nexus S General] samsonite.ace:
looks like the thread may have been shut down, or maybe thats just my account on android central since i joined since the ICS port a few days ago?

please let me know if its just me or everyone.

thanks to beezy over there tho hes putting up some serious time n effort!
[Nexus S General] tylerwatt12:
Where it said that one thing with you not having permission to view the page? Same thing happened to me
[Nexus S General] samsonite.ace:
Back up and running but still with the 1 bravo verstion
[Nexus S General] UniqueNate:
I've used it and it's okay and a little fun. You'll quickly go back to whatever you were running before. But ROM or not, you'll want to have the official update if you own a Nexus device anyways.
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Did u guys see the nexus one video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyPeT-ZUbBw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Nexus S General] UniqueNate:
As cool as these ports are, they'll never have full use out of them being a SDK. I wish the launch of IC was sooner as far as updating. Waiting until the 10th for the Galaxy Nexus to come out was a little bit of a wait. A week or two after it was announced would have been reasonable.
[Nexus S General] hp420:
yeah, it loads, but nothing works yet. You can't even unlock the screen because touch isn't working....the port for NS4g has WAY more working features.
[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
nexus one has touchscreen completely working.. ns4g still has the two finger sketchy touchscreen.
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Ya that why I put the video. There port looks much better than ours. Why!!!!! Lol :D
[Nexus S General] seraphimserapis:
In order to get touchscreen working you guys need an own .idc file in /usr/idc that is calibrated to the device.

Best wishes,

i just zipped this up testing now.

thanks!
[Nexus S General] adamw1101:
Go team go
[Nexus S General] samsonite.ace:
for those looking for news, he said he has the touch working and will be opsting an update soon that has working touch.

and for this first (and soon to be old) release, it still thinks its working as an emulator on a computer. thats why 2 fingers is clicking and one finger is just tracking kinda like a mouse.

and keep it to the NS4g tho for convo, other threads are popping up like crzy for phones.

thanks and hope i helped for the news =D
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Cool thanks for the update. Can't wait for it to be stable.
[Nexus S General] MallardDuck:
Nice, if you get it working can you upload the zip file for us to try?
[Nexus S General] JohnCorleone:
I did the same thing! Lol..."no settings access?" Lol
[Nexus S General] nashvilletider:
Wow, this works great. I love the feature where you hold down the Home button and all the screens of open apps come up. Kinda like webos. I loaded busybox, and was able to get titanium backup working. The only issues I'm having is some of my old widgets don't work. And some force closes on some of the apps. Over all, for what this is, It's a great preview. My buddy that works at Verizon is jealous.
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
Absolutely loving the 3D feature of the new Gallery. That is quality.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
I'm loving the native scrolling calendar & gmail widgets. I have no need for third party widgets in those area.
[Nexus S General] JimboKern:
Not only that, it's typically the manufacture that delays the release not the service provider.
[Nexus S General] vandy343:
well i cant see the main thread now cause apparently im banned from androidcentral reason:none specified date lifted: never wtffffff
[Nexus S General] bobsbobbers:
Me too. I just signed up today. Didn't even post. Thankfully I got the Rom and the superuser zip file before this started happening. Hopefully it's a system issue that they'll get worked out.

On topic: If this rom is just a taste of what's to come, I'm super stoked. Unfortunately even though I was able to give it root access, titanium doesn't seem to be able to restore apps for some reason or other. Oh well, i'll nandroid back to my previous rom. This is slick stuff though.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
There was a post about installing busy box for titanium backup.
[Nexus S General] Alopez_45:
Is this compatible with any of the Matrix Kernels? Thanks.
[Nexus S General] bobsbobbers:
Hmm... Thanks. Installed busybox and am trying again. Hopefully I don't need to configure something in particular?

EDIT:

Busybox installed sucessfully from market app "busybox installer" but still no-go for titanium restore. it Does say it sucessfully gets root so i'm not worried about that part but hangs while restoring any app I try. Oh well, I'm really excited to get a version with face unlock and full acceleration too, this thing is lickety split already!
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
No. No custom kernels are supported, yet.

Beside overclocking and gov(s) Hmm theme engine, there's really nothing I'm missing. I got Swype running, gtalk video chat running.

There's a nice blend of MetroUI in it, I think it looks clean and neat.
[Nexus S General] nashvilletider:
If you long press on those widget's you can resize them too. Loving ICS. :D
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
I also found in Settings if you go down to Developer Options then scroll down to Windows & Transitions Animation Scalling and adjust those settings or turn them down you can get rid of a lot of lag when scrolling and opening apps.

Has anyone tried Pete's Kernel ? Reason asking its the closest one to stock.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
How did you recover?

Can someone pull the kernel?

So it can be reflashed through recovery.
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
has anyone noticed the flash light in back doesn't work??? I've tried numerous flashlight apps and none of them work.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Nope but camera flash works
[Nexus S General] hp420:
yep...I just saw that today, myself....I installed the torch app and it didn't work.

Cant wait for the official OTA for it
[Nexus S General] coutwice:
I've used titanium with success
[Nexus S General] nashvilletider:
Flashlight works for me.
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Flashed this for a brief moment. ICS looks to be an improvement - seems a bit like miui in the way settings menus are configured, albeit very plain and nondescript in appearance.

Problems:

WiFi connected then immediately disconnected.

3g download speeds were slooow.

Looks nice, but I am going to wait for a fully sorted, rooted, and optimized rom to be released... One that is based on source. Restored my NSCollab setup and will be waiting semi-patiently.

you can root the ics rom with the su zip here

also, lots of people say wifi works just fine...faster than normal. I don't use it, but 3g is downloading pretty fast for me, even ;)

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic increase in speaker volume? Mine sounds so much louder & clearer now
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
Just got off the phone using the speaker and it was so loud I almost had to turn it all the way down. I like it.

Also note, u can always hit the phone search button and just type settings.. Or any app/setting.

[Nexus S General] sookieball:
so how is the 4g implemented? I can't even acces the settings to 4g
[Nexus S General] snoopy1e11:
Is there a difference in the 3 builds of ICS on here?
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Thanks. I'll try it tomorrow. Perhaps a reflash will also fix my wifi issues.
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
There is no 4G.
[Nexus S General] sookieball:
Than how come the system settings find 4g settings using anycut? Forgot to mention... can't access the settings as you'll get FC's but it knows its there.

Not arguing just asking. Also randomly while I use 3g I speed test.net my data connection and it has gone well over 6mbps at times over the past day and a half. And will suddenly drop to under 1mbps.. I think the fone is playing tricks on us... I know as a fact 3g over sprint does not do 6mbps. Even on my evo shift in the middle of LA where 4g is peak and 3g is strong 4g would break 9mbps but 3g would never go over 1.2-2.0 mbps.
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
Has any one lost connectivity to Facebook? All my other apps work fine but Facebook will just get stuck on synching when I open the app with the blue buttons on top and a white screen with nothing to display. I tried on wifi and on 3g. Even went into settings and wiped app data, deleted the app and redownloaded.
[Nexus S General] sookieball:
Haven't experienced this but a few people have. Remember 4.0 hasn't come out officially and this SDK rom might be the reason or just facebook hasn't. Been optimized to work for ICS yet. Idk. Hope this helped or someone chime in more knowledgeable than I.
[Nexus S General] JohnCorleone:
Wish I would have known that before installing no root screenshot app but thanks!
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Wait there's 3 versions now??
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
that's excellent 3g data speed. maybe it was set to for roam data and the 6mps was from verizon tower.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
I have that issue
[Nexus S General] JohnCorleone:
Think 2nd was locked but you got it. Had custom boot ani
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Is anyone having problems with the battery readings? I reboot and it reads differently
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
Find a fix? I know it's a sdk port but i'm just asking.
[Nexus S General] sookieball:
No I just checked that and I never allowed roaming so it had to be something else. Plus my boyfriends on verizon and his 3g is slower than mine. Sad but true.
[Nexus S General] applefanboylol:
I reflashed this, and I definitely notice that scrolling in some apps is definitely smoother. The browser is eh:/

Also noticing much slower benchmark scores with various apps
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
That's kewl you live in the area where sprint data speed are superior to Verizon. I'm going to look at call settings.
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
ohh OK cool. Thanks buddy.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Nope try clearing your data and reinstall app

Edit. Clearing the cache and data fixed it for me

Edit again. Only fixed it for the first time I opened the app
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
:rolleyes:

it would be almost impossible to add 4G to an SDK port without the source code. Same thing with MIUI. MIUI has the 4G settings but they won't open because it cannot be added without the source code.

[Nexus S General] sobis1dm:
For those with wifi troubles, headinto the advanced page under wifi settings. There should be something about testing signal strength checked... uncheck it and try again. Mine was disconnecting while my phone was right next to the router, but once I unchecked that setting I was good to go.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but I'm still reading about issues.
