Acceleration hardware refers to devices that speed up data communications, storage and retrieval, encryption and decryption, mathematical operations, graphics, and Web page viewing. Acceleration hardware can consist of an individual integrated circuit (also called an IC or chip), a printed circuit card, or a self-contained system.

From my understanding hardware acceleration is basically when the OS instructs the GPU to render the user interface, thus allowing the CPU to focus more on its workload.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lilgotti56:
This is a great rom, but I have one question. I don't know if it has been answered in this post. But do anyone have a working 4G connection?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
Pretty sure 4g is NOT working...
[EVO 4G Android Development] teh roxxorz:
Nope, not at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] An UrgeT Dance:
I know that this does not apply to the ROM but does anyone know if the Gapps in the OP work on Gingerbread ROMs?

[EVO 4G Android Development] SprintFun:
So wait....there isn't 4G? But my phones is an Evo 4G!

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Great job team. Just wanted to say I've followed the progress and so far its impressive :-)

all you need is a lovely signature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Holsum:
Amazing ROM so far. I love using it even without hardware acceleration. It is going to make the speed and transition boost that much better.

I cant wait to see what is to come. This makes my wait for the galaxy nexus that much more bearable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Has anyone got this to work with boot manager? Every time I try it with this build it fc's

Still rather slow but how far you guys have come is amazing, looking forward to later builds

I got it to boot

make sure you check all three wipes when you install Rom then wipe cache when you install gapps

Successful Install

Using Amon Ra, wiped all the goodies including system. Flased ROM, Gapps, and Unvisible all at once. Booted into glorious Ice Cream Sandwich...Market signed in, gmail worked. Thank to the Evervolve team. You guys make me wish I was coder instead of an environmental science major!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jacktownlane:
Alpha5

I love how it has turned out so far. I can do without pretty much every other ICS feature if it means getting hardware acceleration sooner. Just my 2 cents. But honestly i am surprised to see a working evo port this soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
downloading a5 right now, cann wait, this sounds pretty good:D

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] usmaak:
Boot manager fc sometime before completion of the install. It doesn't end up writing anything to the sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheShadow1:
Asking for a little help from devs. I compiled the 4.0 source myself, using the evo device/vendor files and fixing errors etc. I flash it to my phone and boot. The os boots because I can see the logcat scrolling. The os is working fine but my touch has no display on it, only the backlight is on but the screen is black. How did you guys fix that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
what is your secret sir?

Starting to see Cyanogenmod9 alpha in the news.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wetrabbit444:
Where?
[EVO 4G Android Development] indagroove:
It might be obvious to you, but it's not obvious to us until we flash. personally i would like to know what isn't working (at least the obvious stuff) before I decide if I want to venture down this Alpha road.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Koush, being a badass, got it working on the nexus s and samsung galaxy s so far... imagine that... lol

it's starting to popup in blogs....

Seb at extreme tech already gave a small review :51 is where he finally boots...

read/watch here

as for our lovely port... I love it. Thanks so much... can't wait for hardware accel!

so pluggin headphones gives no sound at all? I think I read dat some pages back
[EVO 4G Android Development] roqstarmatt:
woooow

absolutely AMAZING is pretty much all there is to say bout this one.. HELL OF A JOB DEVS... One question, how did i git rid of that annoying little voicemail notification lol?? and my lockscreen wont come up..
[EVO 4G Android Development] DonSolo:
I understand... but ANY Alpha is going to be a bug magnet. The things that are listed "Working" are the things that work. Everything else that you can fathom outside of the listed items are most likely buggy or not working at all. You shouldn't take Alphas very seriously anyways mate until they at least hit Beta lol!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Luisit0:
sooo true, dats why I flash em when Ive got nothing to do for the rest of the day so I can play wt em all day and at the end of the day go back to my daily, at least it kill my curiosity ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DonSolo:
Yup!! That's how I do it lol! I actually played with Alpha 4 for almost 2 days before I took it off. I can't wait for ICS to be stable. We wasn't able to toy with Honeycomb but ICS will make up for it! :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] MarkEv0:
Just a through wipe and clean install I suppose.
[EVO 4G Android Development] discoweezy:
What are the invisible tweaks for? and do u wipe cache and delv cache then flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
It either fc on me or when it doesn't fc it completes but when I try to boot to it it says there is no rom installed?? Also sometimes after I do an install I don't have access to my sdcard like it gets un mounted? It's very weird.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DonSolo:
When flashing (unless told otherwise) you always wipe cache, delv, and data. But first and foremost you MUST nandroid.

Invisible tweaks? I think those are options you can mess around with that goes on in the background of the rom. I'm not sure
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
if you ran the script, it shows you in recovery. "speedboost"...

i'd make a nan back up of current setup, then run a full format as your likely changing versions of android.

there are plenty of format all partition zips via recovery, check my sig.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Actually they are just scripts setup to run in background that radar performance. Also SD card fix.

No real need to wipe cache or dalvik. These flash able zips just copy over the three scripts to ur system/etc/init.d folder.

But if ur wipe happy u can wipe them. Just leave data alone or you'll lose out on all ur stuff for no reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Will32:
What was your phone Rom when you installed ics with boot manager, also, did you install it from your phone Rom or were you in a slot when you installed ics. If you installed it from within slot then what Rom were you using. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] usmaak:
What version of Boot Manager are you using. I just noticed that they released a new one on 11/26. Among the fix notes is something about fixing FCs when flashing various ROMs. I'm updating now, and am going to try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
I did the same thing. I did wipe system, boot, data, and dalvik cache and cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Will32:
thanks for the heads up. im usually on top of my boot manager updates but i missed this one. just updated 3.1.1. gonna try it now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nick N:
Confirmed: Alpha 5 can be used with Boot Manager 3.1.1. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] usmaak:
I just installed Alpha 5 on Boot Manager with no FC. Firing it up now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Will32:
Is that a typo or do you have 3.3.1, I just updated and it says 3.1.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nick N:
Good catch. Updated my reply.

Anything you can think of that isn't listeted in the "what's working" part of the op haha. But a lot of people are just saying laggy due to no hardware acceleration. So I'd say its pretty solid otherwise. (I only messed with alpha 4 for like 10 min so take this comment with a grain of salt.) Haha

Great progress on the alphas it looks like its really coming together nicely, appreciate all the hard work. I was wondering for the lag that people are experiencing if it wasnt due to hardware acceleration. If i'm not mistaken isnt ICS supposed to be fairly smooth even without hardware acceleration?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luciferii:
ive been using the alphas as daily drivers since released and i have very little complaint. the "lag" isnt that bad

[EVO 4G Android Development] taadow1030:
Every time I try, script manager freezes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LZLandingZone:
I am by no means a developer, but I had this quick thought. Couldn't we technically pull code for hardware acceleration from a Sense ROM, seeing how Sense also relies on HA? And if we couldn't port it directly, is there a chance of transcribing it for ICS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neno2323:
Here's a video of this rom I just saw looking good..

http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=US#/watch?v=Gf8rhQKXGLw
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmhalder:
No, they use hardware acceleration for 2d in many places, even in aosp roms such as CM7, the reason it isn't ported easily is because Android 4.0 is supposed to run on the 3.0 version of the Linux kernel, either they are making it work with a 2.6 kernel, or they are having trouble making a good working 3.0 kernel, It may also have to do with the way android interfaces with the framebuffer/driver... If you can't suggest really help, don't suggest things that you have no real idea of feasibility for execution. (I'm not an engineer, but you can just put that truck engine in this motorcycle right?)
[EVO 4G Android Development] luciferii:
no.. bc sense isnt an android aosp they could use android gingerbread HA as an example or guide but the math for ics wont be identical
[EVO 4G Android Development] RileyGrant:
I feel the need to make one little point clear, and I'm in no means trolling just trying to point this out so sorry if it sounds rude, but Android 4.0 isn't intended to run only on the Linux 3.0 kernel. That just happens to be the kernel that comes packaged with the target build (maguro) currently on the AOSP repos. Any kernel 2.6.37 or higher should be fully capable of running the necessary drivers without much of a problem, so getting a 3.0 kernel port shouldn't have any of you worried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:
The problem is that the current Adreno drivers don't support HA as implemented by ICS--there are intermediate problems that require Qualcomm (or any mfg) to update their drivers and release binaries, or make source available for devs to modify on their own.
[EVO 4G Android Development] damagethem:
yo waddup..does any sbc kernals work on this..i tried the 4.1.0sbc but the phone locks up and also i dont know if its been addressed but i cant download pics from my mms...also some apps wont load..
[EVO 4G Android Development] mfknboss:
no other kernels work at this time
[EVO 4G Android Development] clshores:
I understand that it is the kernel that is keeping the camera from working. Has there been any progress made on that or are we in a holding pattern waiting on Qualcom to release ICS sources?

Chris
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchristian:
I know I will probably get flamed for this, because I am not a dev and really ahave no clue what I am doing. With that said I started poking around and found that there is a line in the build.prop file in the /system folder that has hardware acceleration disabled. I commented it out and phone seems a tad snappier. Im surre someone will tell me how irresponsible or stupid I am, but Im just sharing. Sorry if someone does not think this is the right thing for someone with no experience to do.

[off-topic]

I apologize in advance for this, but this response made me think of one of my most favorite quotes ever from the movie Billy Madison:

Principal:

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Billy Madison:

Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

[/off-topic]

In on-topic news, I've tried this, and surprisingly for an alpha, almost everything that should be working is. For some reason, I can't pair to my home BT phone, but my old faithful Moto HS850 pairs fine. Even stereo BT works, which is impressive for this being in the early stages. Once hardware acceleration and camera are working, this ROM will be the new "big thing". I think everyone is eager to try the facial recognition (I know I am!). Keep up the good work, team!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
How many here are still using A5? I had to switch it back to CM7/256 nightly because I could not get Exchange Calendar to work. I could be careless for camera.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greubin:
I installed alpha5, I get a no stop pop-up error NFC device has stopped. Is there anyway to remove this annoying error ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greubin:

[EVO 4G Android Development] MrDSL:
isn't there a NFC.apk in system you can try deleting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
You could run Gapp from OP's link on 1st page, and that should have no NFC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lacedaemon:
Boot Manager Compatability

Just making sure: Is this ROM compatible w/ Boot Manager? I just wanna run this along w/ my existing MIUI installation to see and try the improvements you great devs have made. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Desdoulas:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Desdoulas:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jashiver22:
Are the Gapps on OP seem lk there the old apps? I had a Gapps that where or a least looked newer. I had one and the file was "Gpass ICS.zip" got it from post #628
[EVO 4G Android Development] blizzard1017:
Well the hd2 now had HA so I feel good about the EVO coming along quickly. Our devs are on point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] taadow1030:
We are all learning in one way or another. Keep sharing...
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Did the HD2 devs accomplish this by un-commenting a line in build.prop or was it more involved than that (I'm assuming the latter)?

I just really want to amplify the remarks about encouraging constructive, on-topic contributions even from people who aren't ninja developers.

Yes, many of them will be completely useless, and a real dev will be able to manage his (or her) time well enough to ignore them and move on. But every once in awhile someone is going to stumble across something useful, even obvious, and save "us" (I'm not a dev, but "we" all benefit from their work) weeks of banging "our" heads against the wall.

If vigilante moderators are needed, it's when off-topic flame wars break out. That really does waste everyone's time worth no hope of moving the project forward.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blizzard1017:
I have no idea how they did it, I actually saw the post when I logged on the xda app. It's posted in the HD2 nand section though. when I get off work I'll probably go back through it. I'm no dev either but I thirst for this type of knowledge. 8 months ago I panic when I was trying to root lol and now I feel somewhat comfortable doing mini theming task and tinkering with apk xml's in notes++. I tried the kitchen a few times but I am nowhere on that level yet, still soaking in the knowledge these devs lay out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lacedaemon:
Alternate Way to Dual-Boot

Kinda off topic, but is there any other way to dual-boot ROMs besides Boot Manager? I appreciate the dev's effort and time but I really don't want to pay $3 for an app that I may as well delete in the future, and it takes waaay too long to keep restoring backups back and forth. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] teh roxxorz:
Nope, you have boot manager, or doing it the old fashioned way of backup and restore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] criccio:
The "recommended" GAPPs has the nfc features in it... why? I removed what i could find and rezipped and flashed it but the same NFC error kept popping up. I don't understand how it got recommended with with such a glaring issue. The second GAPPs listed is only 6MB vs the first ones 60MB so.... :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nick N:
I was wondering that myself as I was getting force closes while booted into the ICS Rom. :banghead:
[EVO 4G Android Development] lmoore55:
The reason for the size difference are the 20 extra apps in the first download as well as the face detection model. Removing the app from /system/app leaves traces of the app behind, not only in the updater-script but other places as well. Leaving it there won't hurt too badly guys ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
I also used the GAPPS from post 628. I have TWRP v1.1.1 and flashed A5 then the GAPPS ICS and that was it. Booted into the ROM fine.

Now with other ROMs, like the GB Evervolv, i had booting/FC issues. If you are having FCs try going back into recovery and doing a "fix permissions" and see if that helps.

Taking a leap of faith there, but anything is worth a try I think. Plus what hardware version of the Evo do you have?
