All apps have managed to get root when i used the latest bulid from superkid
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Tried to adb titanium backup to mine shows in apps list but can't see or access it.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
worked after reboot. One more question - I changed LCD Density to 240. It's gigantic. 190 is too small. Any other option i can use? Does any value work or are there preset ones?
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
240 is normally the default for wvga devices, but you can use anything you want.
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
For me reboot didn't work. So i flashed SU and Super User fixer from recovery and after fixing it throw Super User Fixer, i gained root access.

It might be helpful for user having trouble getting root access, so i am posting it.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
OK, this is good.

The Xperia ARC just got a CM9 "preview" by FXP (Free Xperia Project). It has hardware acceleration. FXP said it's buggy, but it works. Why is this good? Because it uses the same GPU (Adreno 205) as the Desire S, DHD and others.

It has not been released, but the sources are out. I hope someone can fix hardware acceleration using these - https://github.com/freexperia
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
awesome! Only problem is that it's pretty much useless without superkid. And he said he only has time on the weekend.:(
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, also, the GIT is outdated. Nothing for ICS. I hope they update soon.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I will check it :P i have like 20 minutes :P

Also i really cant concentrate on lessons because of this haha
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Your a recognized developer again!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Yeah xD thats nice... well i have lots of ideas, i can guess this weekend i fix hw for sure (i hope) :P
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Damn, that's 4 days away!!! Luckily i have arkham city on pc and a day off thanks to strikes to help get through it.
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Heres the google apps with facelock.apk ,NFCgoogle.apk, and taggoogle.apk already removed http://www.mediafire.com/?3e0oe5j9ydn8e8i It'll save sometime, you might aswell post it on the first post
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
If your talking for the PC, Don't run in DX11 mode because its bugged, turn off Dx11 features in Video menu to use Dx9 mode.

Batman is an epic game mate, even in Dx9 mode the graphics will blow your socks off :D
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Lol haven't made the jump to dx11 yet. But thanks for the info
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
All i can say now is - "Can't Hardly Wait..."
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
omg, that waiting is killing meeeeee :DD

copied and pasted from DHD (thanks to wildchild048) :D

Seemed to get the DHD devs quite excited

Dont know if anyone seen this.

preludedrew Andrew Boren

@Hashcode0f Read the article on the Droid 3, awesome work. Was wondering if you'd share the hw accel workaround HTCLinux showed you.

Hashcode0f Hashcode

@preludedrew You can check github/Hashcode android_frameworks_base under the ics branch in "commits". OES_IMG_EXTERNAL_HACK
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okay guys this is where we stand...

Desire HD have managed to get a workaround for hw acceleration...

Though its not a proper fix but its a cool workaround...

So now things work as fast as say a cm7 if not oxygen rom...

Which i guess is manageable :P :P

So now we have 3 approaches to bring it into our code so that we can use this as daily driver...pre beta kind rom...

1. Make the changes herald has made in source which is easy and can help you with it...and then compile...(any volunteer :P :P)

2. Next way is try to just copy those so files as they are discrete into our zip but still it won't run as the zip that we have has been compiled with hw acceleration set as off...

3. Finally best and easy way port their ics to saga as we port cm and their other roms...replacing the boot.img with our kernel boot.img of ics 2.4.1...i guess it should work...

So now am at office...so when i reach at night i will give the 3rd option a try...

If all goes well we will have a very fast ui as fast as say a cm7...:P :P

Provided am not dead tired by the time I reach back home...:D :D

If any1 else wants to try porting before that your welcome...

If you need help let me know...

It should be easy...normal porting should do the trick...(Fingers crossed)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Will add them as fast as i can and test :P
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
I cant believe how fast this is moving along! its great.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
We've lived with partial acceleration on gingerbread. I'm sure we'll manage on ics :D . At least until a proper fix comes out
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
We may get a working ICS ROM before the pure Google device (Nexus S)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
FINALLY ! LorD ClockaN "almost" got HW acc. on DHD !!!!!!!!!!! I'll ask him to PM fix to superkid.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I hope that the "in call mic" bug will be gone in the new release (the one that makes the other party hear you only when on speaker). Along with added hw accel, could be usable for day-to-day operation
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Okay, i compiled a rom with the hw fixes, i dont have time to test it :P will later

Edit: oh, also some audio fixes for mic, lets hope work
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah !!!!! Can't wait :D

PS - I'M free the next two days, so I will be happy to test. :p
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
Is this for real????? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::D:D:D:D:):):):)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Bro you can release a test version...you will get the feedbacks...

If you plan to do it today...Then i won't port...If you have actually compiled :P :P

Gosh you have become Saga ICS Compiler :D
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
can also test if you need someone. Have nothing better to do anyway
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Agree with this, post a test version!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I was kidding. He's probably at college, where he can't upload. We'll get something in two or three days. Patience is a virtue, don't forget :D
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Got with contact with LorD ClockaN :) and he told me step step what to do, so i am gonna compile with the exact steps he told me, i wil ltry upload a test when done :P
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Maybe there was someone who repeatedly pestered him via PM to share the fix with you. ;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
One question - they say 2D acceleration works, not 3D. What is meant by 2D and 3D ?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
i thought it was a really simple thing, but then i thought about the question and now i'm wondering myself. If i had to guess i'd probably say 2d is basic stuff like scrolling the home screens and stuff whereas 3d is gaming and stuff
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
so i played(ported) latest version from desire hd.

wifi: working

data: working

others will be fixed after superkid release his new work :)
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Hey superkid

you should take a look at HD2 threads, it looks like they totally fixed Hw acceleration with EGL 4.1.

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
HD2 - Adreno 200 Gpu

DS, DHD, IS - Adreno 205 gpu

Due to this, hd2 most probably won't work. DHD fix ( From LorD ClockaN ) should work.
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
It's true that it is different chip, but maybe developer can give some info on how he did, or help superkid.

Fix from Desire HD is not total HW acceleration fix, it forces GPU rendering.

That doesn't work for games for example
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
This is nice
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Wow DHD is on beta stages. Sounds good for us
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
i already ported it, but i dont want share with microphone issue :(

everything else works "listed in desire hd forums" also on desire s :)
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Mic is no big issue for me, my DZ handles all voice calls B-)
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
I can't take all this waiting. I'm so excited for ics. I will happily sacrifice all my commonly used apps if I can just have an ics build that has acceleration and can text! Omgosh I want this!
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
update-ics-saga-alpha-2.zip

here is my alpha version. port from desire hd and its working much faster as other ics versions..
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
has the mic issue sorted on your port?
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
No he said its not sorted quite yet.

Also I have a question, when superkid has finished will the ROM be basically a straight port of the stock? Or will it be sort of a custom mod?
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
mic issue is not fixed.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
am downloading now can't wait to try this one:D

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

wished i had the know how to help you guys out this is awesome:D
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
EDIT :: Oops, proxuser released his version ;)

Didn't have time to post :p

Removing link

Proxuser's version is better, sound is working :)

PS : Proxuser, you ruined my first attempt at making a basic port. thanks :p

If you have Market issues, just install normally this one

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=769357&d=1320252302.

That is the latest version and works great
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
cant access the SD card through my pc :( Is there a work around or am i doing something wrong?
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
everything seems much smother and faster including market :D
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
thx a lot Prox!

nice work.Much smoother.

whats problem with mic?ppl cant here me or what?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
damn this is android at its finest, and it's not even complete!! Everything was pretty smooth apart from the occasional graphical glitch. Market apps still don't work which is a shame. But seriously, it's just too good.
[HTC Desire S] shrike011:
Bootloop :/
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Silly question, but did you wipe before install? Mine worked perfect first time
[HTC Desire S] shrike011:
Wiped again everything, installed, and same story .....bootloop again.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Maybe you have a bad download, check you MD5SUM, mine is 458f4d16dd86e82585bd78d63cf8c364.

And this version is awesome, it's a keeper. Cheers to all who are working on it.

Sent from a phone that is not running ICS :(
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Oooh, this is very nice indeed! Booted fine after full wipe.

Edit: live wallpapers work from market.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Some feedback

Wiped everything, flashed, all went ok, no bootloops.

Installed several applications: 4EXT Recovery, busybox, titanium backup, DPI changer, SwiftkeyX, Quadrant, Call Master Beta and some others. Market works fine (a little bit slow, version 3.1.11)

WiFI and mobile data works great. Had no opportunity to test GPS.

Got bootloops after first reboot but I've changed the screen density from 240 to 200 (could this be the issue?). Now I'll try to get in recovery and flash again. (it worked)

The whole thing is working fast. Had no possibility to run Quadrant benchmark, due to the lack of some hw accelerators I think (it's stuck at decompressing H.262 or something )

Mail (both Gmail and Exchange) are working. Messaging also, Skype too (without video call since the cameras are not working). Gallery is FCing. Youtube is not working (same lack of HW acceleration I guess)

Cannot mount sdcard as USB mass storage. Hardware keys are not lit.

The most annoying thing is the microphone bug (in call), I could have tried to use the ROM for several days if it was working :(. As it is I cannot use it daily.
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Update from my experience:

Full wipe, installed Prox's port. Booted fine.

Few (see: a lot) graphical glitches, but for the most part the overall experience is very smooth. Found the screen to be the biggest drain of battery power pulling almost 20% from the phone in 30 mins or so of use. I was using it non stop though.

Wifi detected my networks and associated with no issues, though it seemed to keep dropping every so often before picking back up again. Kernel issue perhaps?

Sound worked fine, had it playing loads of songs in shuffle for a while on loudspeaker. Doesn't detect headphones which is a PITA, but this is an alpha afterall.

Market wouldn't load for me. Didn't try the market fix that was posted.

Didn't try phone calls. Alarm/clock worked perfectly fine. Texting worked flawlessly, except there appears to be no dictionary installed yet so according to the inbuilt spellchecker, every word I typed was wrong (underlined in red).

Overall a fantastic experience. ICS looks set to be an absolutely fantastic rom and I really can't wait until it's just a touch more usable. I don't even care for apps, just as long as phone, texting, mobile data and headphones for my music work stable enough then other features can suck it.

I would continue to use this, but I'm not sure I trust it enough yet to stay working through the night and have an alarm go off in the morning to wake me up.

Many MANY congratulations to everyone who has done so well with this rom so far. I really wish I knew more about the inner workings of an android rom so I could contribute. Maybe ICS should be where I start to learn about it then I can help out a little more? Who knows.

In the mean time, it's 1am, and I am le tired. Goodnight, and I can't wait to see what progress you guys make tomorrow ;)

[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
The port by proxuser is amazing. And ICS is so fast. Of course there are some things missing. I can not syncronize my facebook account, gallery is not working and some other stuff. But, this far, it is fun to play with.

Can't wait to see the next version of Superkid.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
From the speed, i expect to have a COMPLETELY working build by Christmas. Some errors like camera take too long to fix.

Anyways, i just downloaded proxuser's build, flashing now. Can't wait for superkid's next. Mic fix would be great.

EDIT: Just flashed it, and it's SUPER FAST !!!!!!! My first real taste of ICS. Restoring apps now, GAPPS already there. 240 DPI, i like it. One bug - there is no landscape rotation. It worked in superkid's build.
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
I'll look today for call mic fix. I hope superkid get hw accelator 3d working. Then we are ready for beta builds.

Don't know what cm team doing right now :S
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What about landscape rotation?
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Quick Bug Report

Firstly build is super fast congrats! & Thank-you.

Mostly others have mentioned the main bugs but i found 2 others:

Calendar - It didnt download my agenda from Gmail even though it was listed as an account

Headphones - when plugged in they don't work, the speaker overrides

Many thanks

[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Working on things that aren't ready to be shown yet ;)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
too much information! I'd prefer to think nothing is going on...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What is it? Let me guess - new lockscreen style :p

On a more serious note - glad to know you've started your magic on CM9. How much progress have you made? Will we get an early Christmas present for being good kids? :D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Man, shrome!! You're really going all ninja about ICS here. Gotta love your spirit. :)

Maybe there should be an xda badge for "Recognized Crusader" :D:D:D

Keep it up!!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
If they "are not ready to be shown yet", they're not ready to be spoken of as well, I guess :D I'm sure CM team is doing a great job and even if they don't talk, they're working hard on an ICS build. They might just don't want to deliver an alpha build or something with many bugs (at least not in the main components). CM team is well known for it's great ROMS across several mobile platforms and I belive they just want to keep the reputation they earned working so hard :)

Thank you all who effectively work to bring us such great ROMs, regardless if it's Ginger or ICS...our phones love you all...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Have you used proxuser's build? You'll go crazy too. IT'S SO FREAKIN' AWESOME !!!!!! I'm not a dev, so i do all i can ;)
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
He's right you know. I tried proxusers build and now I'm completely desperate for ics. If headphones worked, I would be using his build right now. :-(
[HTC Desire S] stevke:
I've installed proxuser's build now and it is indeed absolutely awesome! :)

Really smooth and beautiful, I'll test it later that day

Keep up the good work
[HTC Desire S] chrishull85:
Can someone post a video of it working, would be very interested to see it :)
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
Just tested the ICS build by proxuser and it's amzing. just cant wait to get a beta build and a stable one afterwards.
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Had a try at fixing the headphones issue. By that, I mean I unzipped proxs rom, opened a few files, got confused, then cried in a corner.

I tried to help :-(
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Can't tell you how many times that happened to me. Except for the crying in a corner part, I have a dark room for that ;)

My first and last try was superkid's first CM7 port. Tried a lot, google searched and learned a lot. Fixed absolutely nothing though :o
[HTC Desire S] ignited:
excellent work guys!! i tested proxuser's port and loved it. when calling mic works on speaker mode but not in regular mode... very fast and very beautifull!!! i cant wait for a stable rom!!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okies guy...

Have office so can't work much on this...

But whatever little time I have I manage a bit...:)

Neways have fixed mic issues...on proxuser rom...

Calls working perfect :)

Does any1 want me to upload it...Couldn't fix anything else except mic...

Weekend would work more...

Credits : Well Bioan helped with right direction...and supporting what i thought was the issue...

So though its not a big fix but if someone wants can upload it :)
[HTC Desire S] stevke:
That would be great, one step closer to daily use :)
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
Uploading the mic fix would be great! It's the thing stopping me using this full time!
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Aye, the Mic fix would be a great step in the usable direction.

Shrome, maybe we should combine our pitiful efforts and try to tackle the headphone issue together? That way, when we fail, we can cry together in the corner of a dark room. :-P
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okay in that case here it is...

http://www.multiupload.com/XOZNNVRG8X

It just has mic fix...tried apn fix almost cracked...would work tom on more fixes...:) :)

A bit tired today...

Well gonna use this tom full day...Guess just can't get enough of ics now...:P

Btw just a suggestion keep animation speed at 0.5x...smooth and fast...

No animation makes it more crude...1x show a few glitches sometime...:)

Enjoy...:)

Good Night guys...its 12 here...

Damn tired :) :)
[HTC Desire S] stevke:
Thank you, I'm downloading and will try it today :)
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Cheers Vampire36, downloading it now.

Now I'm home and I have access to my PC, I'm going to actually attempt to pull this apart and fix the headphones, or at least try to learn something about how it works/what the problem is.

Thing is, I haven't the slightest idea where to even start..
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Thank you very much vampire36, I know how you feel about really wanting to just leave it on and use it, think now the mic is done I'm gonna do just that even though i want to use headphones on the bus tomorrow :)
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
had a little taste...and it's AWESOME!!! really fast and smooth....rotation display doesn't work but if I have no problem with apps, phone and text i'll use it as a daily rom :D

EDIT: mic doesn't work for me :-S
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
ICS is nice! Gonna stick with it for a day tomorrow and see how I get on! Thanks proxuser/superkid, much appreciated!
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
im working on new build. it includes new parts from cm9

-advanced power menu

-take screenshot option

-launcher option: remove google bar

lets see what we can do :P
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
Any ideas why the google accounts I add don't sync calendar? Also I noticed TTS crashes... Just so you know :P its still awesome! Oh and any chance of fixing gallery?
[HTC Desire S] poppy8x:
Can i try it now ? :D
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
after 3d fix will much apps working..

i haven't uploaded yet..

/edit----------

there are much issues on new base. not better than alpha2 (3).

so i will wait that superkid release something new..
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Shame to hear that Prox.

I've got alpha 3 pulled apart and unzipped infront of me here desperately looking for some clue as to how to fix the headphone issue. Any ideas yourself? Have you taken any kind of look at it?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Unfortunately the mic problem was not fixed...not for me anyways. Now the other party hears alot of background/static noises and echoes...back to previous ROM. Will test when new version is out:)
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
your right mic problem still exists but i think headphone and mic issue are related if your on a call the person on the other end cant hear you but you can hear them BUT if you put call on speaker you can actually have a 2 way conversation as the person on the other end can actually hear you very clearly not ideal in public tho lol:)

also does the same on proxusers update 2
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
finally the week-end is here!!! I hope will be a release with some issues sorted....keep it up guys!!! you're doing an AWESOME job!!!!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ohhh freaks...

Did i upload the wrong version...

Sorry guys...

Extremely sorry....

But mic isn't working at all means...???

I mean whats the issue ??

I hope every1 did a clean install :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Issue was described by chubby very well. When in a call, the other party cannot hear me unless I put the call on loudspeaker.

And of course, we've wiped before everything

Sent from nowhere, over the air...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Hmmnnn in that case I must have uploaded morning version rather than the night one...

Okies would upload fixed one when i get back home...:)
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
Can you send me fix only? i'm ready to release new alpha..
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Prox I have pmed you...

Its an easy fix...I have mess the details as well :)
[HTC Desire S] Lilion12:
Great job on this one, very smooth wifi works well (even though proxy don't, even with transproxy...)...
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
issue fixed with your help. Thx..

i hope i can upload it with my desire s :D
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Great news...I keep refreshing the browser to see a new download link :) Maybe this time it'll be an usable ROM for me...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Np buddy...Cool work...

Gonna try it as soon as I get back home...:)
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
New alpha is online.

http://proxuser.designbymalone.co.uk/saga-ics/update-ics-saga-alpha-3-01.zip

Whats new:

- new build by lord

- ext 4 fs

- voice issue on call fixed ( thx vampire)

- calendar sync should work

- and more.

To fix red border in display go to dev tools -> development settings -> strictmode visual indicator - off

Then reboot
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
hmmm... I flashed this one on previous version (wiped cache/dalvik)but mic bug still persists.... :(

...but calendar is fine, I see some new setting under the "menu" button... I guess I'll try full wipe.... anyway, thx prox!

It seems even full wipe doesn't help...

Working: calendar, power menu extended
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Try a clean install...

Then check :)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Do headphones work in this?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Nope i don't think so...

It needs a kernel patch to be applied...

Lord has done it for dhd by modifying hd2 patch...

We also need some kernel expert to do it...

The patch is on dhd...

If someone seems lucky today....

You can try applying that patch modifying a bit...It myt work out of the box...(probability 0.01%) ;)
[HTC Desire S] alain.duchateau:
Personally i have made a clean install and this bug persist, by the way thx for the work !!!!
