Superkid I had a thought. The galnet miui build based on ICS runs on this phone and runs smoothly, so they must have egl working? Ask them? I could be wrong I dunno how any of this works :P
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
They dont have it ics based... its only themed with some framework things ;)
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
Letdown :P Carry on...
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I love how it works now xD its so nice :D and stable :P

Also think about it, no egl = AWESOME BATTERY xD
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
do you mean that battery life is good?
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
But also equals epic lag :P I'm sure you'll fix it eventually :D
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Yeah because the gpu isn't doing anything its not draining battery
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Doing wonderful work here superkid. Best of luck with getting hardware accellaration to work!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
xD it was a joke btw hehe, it must be fixed lol

Edit: Now long press on home brings the multitasking menu
[HTC Desire S] d00m1n0:
Hey guys.

Reading this thread from beginning, was able to get mit not to test it, because only have the DS as daily phone, but right now I'm flashing :-D

First of all, thank you Superkid for your freaking awesome jobs! Youre so fast man, seems like you're a robot doing nothing else than this!

I'm so looking forward to your ICS build, hope it stays a clean AOSP? Think so.

Unfortunately I'm not an Dev. if i were, i'd be your slave :-D

keep up the good work man!

But don't get in a rush, take your time and stay perfect! :-)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
None of them worked for me :confused:

On the other hand:

WiFi - works

Mobile Data - works

GPS - didn't work for me

Gapps installed and I could create and sign to my Google account - Sync was working, all my contacts are on the phone along with mails, calendars and other stuff.

Sensors seems not to work with the except of proximity (in call I got black screen when having the phone close to my face)

Gmail works and it's looking GREAT. Weather works, Maps works, Calendar works

Market works...partially. I don't know how ICS looks like on your Desire S but for me look likes has a higher resolution (as if I've changed screen density to 200). Therefore Market is saying for alot of applications that they're not compatible. The ones that does not have that limitation...works. Old Market (2.3.6 that didn't had that limitation is FCing so I couldn't use it)

There's a problem when calling. The other party cannot hear me. The only workaround was to activate the speaker. When speaker mode is active I can be heard by the other party. SMS works as well

The ROM is not rooted right? Cause I've installed Titanium Backup but unfortunately I couldn't do anything with it... Superuser couldn't be installed from market due to the above described problem so...

Great job superkid and all who helped
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Sensors will work 100% next release, it works for some in this one

Well! decided to upload the new version now

So i guess i will need to add root and now density is 190 xD

dint had the problem that other side couldnt hear :S weird
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Typing this from ICS. :D don't wanna switch back to cm7
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Added some more feedback in my previous post
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
ahahahahah :D I understand you man!!! ICS is AWESOME!!!

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

great superkid....waiting for new release....anyway i have this phone problem too...the other side can't hear me :(
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I love this density but I think we can give a try to the Market with HDPI (240) density. I'm sure it'll work for all apps. I could download some, the ones that were not checking for screen compatibility. Stupid thing they have introduced this starting with Market 3.x
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Browser is pretty smooth. I found that going to developer options in settings and checking force gpu rendering and turning the animations off helped

However couldn't access sd card
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
is this version a pre-rooted one??
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Nope, this version is not rooted
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Couldn't acces your sdcard? Hm...strange, I could setup a wallpaper from sdcard.

Gallery has only black thumbnails for me but if you press and hold the screen, the thumbnails appear and you can scroll with another finger. So I presume sdcard is accessible though
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
i have a flashable zip of superuser....will it work?

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

same for me but i have to add that video playing doesn't work!!!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
video playing and galery issue is because EGL problem,

and about superuser flashable thing, please try!
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
oh so t-backup cant work with this , right?
[HTC Desire S] :
Hmm. Gonna bring this thing into my kitchen :rolleyes:

Vid coming this afternoon ;-)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
you bastard djpbx, you never came back to our little channel :(

:P Well, i am uploading, we will see later, too much stuff atm, need to go step step or become insaine
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
ok i'll try as soon as new release is avaiable ;)
[HTC Desire S] :
Sorry mate, My teachers werent really gentle to me :mad:

Btw, I checked it every week. But no-one was there :eek:
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
ui is works too slow =( Why ?
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
Because there is not hardware acceleration yet ;)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Read the thread carefully and avoid trolling.

It doesn't work because hardware acceleration is not fixed yet.
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
I've been following this topic for a while, seems like you're doing a great job so far, Superkid! Can't wait till hardware acceleration is fixed, good luck with it :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
superkid, you're fixing this so fast, as soon as i download a release, there's a newer one with fixes out :p EXCELLENT.

I had an idea for the name - you can call it SuperROM, the previous one is AOSP Gingerbread, which is outdated now, this is AOSP ICS, so really, it's like an update to it

EDIT: Also, when i finish typing a post, there's two more above than when i started :p
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Not a bad idea ^ well, the new version is on testing, next version i might rename it hehe
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You have linked the new one in the OP superkid? Cause I can only see there 2.3.1 that is the one I've already flashed
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Found sd card located in mnt folder
[HTC Desire S] mexicorn:
And please change the date according to the release in the topic title. :)

Although I already thanked you many times through button, I feel the need to say it - thank you for bringing future to us. You're awesome! :D
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
YESSSS!!! Installing Superuser flashable zip from HERE worked. Titanium Backup is back online

I've restored from backups several apps, including a screen density app. I've set the standard HDPI density and will check Market again for some apps

I guess this means we have root :)
[HTC Desire S] :
Just made a new vid for V2.4.1 :D

Will be up soon :cool:

Just like the new V2.4.1 ;-)

SuperUser is in it too.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
So 2.3.1 already has the apks removed from the zip that needed to be deleted ie FaceLock.apk NfcGoogle.apk TagGoogle.apk

Or am i looking in the wrong place?

(Also please bear with me as I'm still learning the terminology)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
2.3.1 has NO GAPPS. You have to flash after flashing the ROM, the second zip containing gapps. From that one you should remove the 3 apps listed
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Ah roger, I get it now thanks for the reply :)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Okay, released all good and shiny :P

If you guys want you can click on submit to portal button at the main post, could be nice :P

i am taking like a 1-2 hours break :P
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
great news, was just about to flash 2.3.1 :D glad i waited a few hours. I cant click thank you anymore so, Thank You !
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
wow good job bro. will try it
[HTC Desire S] bertie73:
great work guys- well deserved break superkid-am just flashingnow :p thanks
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
PMed all portal authors
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
ro.sf.lcd_density=190 in build.prop is not good..

text are very small
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
i love that way, what density would be good you think, 240 is amazingly big :P

Also if you fix something please tell me how to add it here :P

thanks for all proxuser, dont know where i would be withought you xD
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
thx man, i think 240 (original size) is always good.

hope we can fix egl (3d), this is biggest problem for me.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Since everything else that is important is solved, EGL is the biggest issue for everyone. Have you tried to fix it proxuser? You might be able to crack it, superkid is already trying his best.
[HTC Desire S] Yilsev:
is it the egl causes that low performance?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yup
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
sorry for my ignorance ，but what does egl mean exactly？
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
why on my device the search widget on top is different? it doesn't have the lens on the left
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
wow

this is great i'm gonna try it now :D

thank you very much superkid

i think EGL means Embedded Graphics Library
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
thanks, man 、
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Is there a way to transfer files to SD card yet, I'm pluggin into PC but its not popping up as an accessible drive sadly
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
i am compiling again :P cya in like 3 years! xD

Well, i know the usb mounting issue, its on the list :P
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
:o sry, I should read more carefully doh!

*

As someone said earlier

going to Developer Options/ Force GPU rendering and turning off animations in Window Animation Scale & Transition Animation Scale - Does improve performance a little*

Also I can confirm that the phone issue some other testers had I have also, its when the 'other end' could only hear them when using loudspeaker.

Hope it helps.
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
OMG man you're a war machine xD

I established an average number : 5 fixes per day :p

Thanks a lot superkid ! I hope EGL will work soon, it is the last big issue.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What are you compiling now?
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
[OFF-TOPIC] Does the new gapps run on older phones with gingerbread?

Sent from a darkly dreaming freak named Ray with a hTC Desire S in his hand which's rom is changed by the owner more than his clothes !
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
NO. It's cool. Honestly this is one of the reasons why i am not use yours ROM. ;)

p/s

I am still remember Windows Mobile and i am really like to see small and clear fonts and icons )
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
thank you for helpful informations ;)
[HTC Desire S] -Sumsy-:
I think so
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
@Superkid - Don't know if this will be of any use (being noob) but every bit of info may help i guess.

I went to take a screen shot and it failed saying that "maybe storage is in use"

Is it possible that maybe our SD cards are stuck in a state of permanent access by the phone and that's why they are not showing up?
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I flashed 2.4.1 and have no data and no wifi (but it lists available AP)
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Wifi has to be added manually, by putting in your SSID (name of your router) and Password.

Goto Settings Wifi then Add Network to do this.

Data you get when you go to - Wifi Tab - more - Mobile Networks - check Data is ticked - Network Operators - (after it finishes doing a search) select your network carrier.

*The network carrier has to be added this way with each boot of the phone*
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
i can't get wifi either. How to activate?
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Took me a while to figure it out, press where it says wifi (not the switch) then you need to add your network manually.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You're the man !!!:):) Hmmm...does this sounds like Super...MAN? :):)

Great work to all of you. For now I barely hold myself not to flash it (I don't have a spare phone to play with and I can't flash such a ROM till at least network and touch works :() but I'm eagerly waiting to do it.

Those who already flash it, post some print screens for the delight of the rest of us who didn't
[HTC Desire S] :
I already submitted this.
[HTC Desire S] jacob73:
where is screenshot?!ics must have it for defult,isn't it?

for me it show operator name but i haven't any signal
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
We working on all :P dont worry, and damn shrome... give me my 500 thanks back!
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
I think you have to press volume up + power to take a screenshot
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Not sure the key, will check it :P i am building some kernels atm
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Please don't fix touch. I was perfectly happy with my ROM and then you released this. If you fix touch you'll force me to try it! Lol you're too good superkid
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
hahahaha, i will make you change your rom xD
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
i really dont know why but i love this ROM. seems great, but i still dont like the launcher buttons it has, cz we already have them :confused: =/

BTW: you really dont wanna know how many NAND backups i have now xD
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
This is where boot manager comes in useful! Flashing...
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
nice :) need a lot of work but nice preview

thx SK
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
Ditto. It looks so good, now we just wait for the source code and do it properly :p
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
hmmmm the cursor made my life so hard, i just cant get used to it xD

is there any way to turn that off?

btw attached a nice wallpaper i've found. it suits with the rom colours. xD
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Nice wall, but the resolution is quite weird and should appear distorded :/
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
as seen on iCEWICH ROM

well i only use one screen and its working like a charm. :p

[also worked fine for me while i was testing ICS Superkid v1.1 rom]

if we get screenshot working i will get a shot too and compare them :p:p
[HTC Desire S] monswag:
is here has another link? I cannot download it. I can't help but want to try it
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...rce-coming-november-17th-says-notion-ink-ceo/

Now this is just epic. We may see a fully working ICS ROM as early as the end of this month !!!!
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Love that wallpaper, thank you good sir.
[HTC Desire S] uoosuow:
ICS source was just released.

https://twitter.com/#!/AndroidDev/status/136204427081154562
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Now this is what I've been waiting for! I was just casually browsing xda and BAM! source code released. Wasn't expecting it but damn I'm excited now
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I activated wifi, didn't work. Rebooted , without switching wifi off, and it worked. No need for manual addition.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For now, you can plug in your phone, go to where Android SDK is installed on your PC, and issue an "adb reboot recovery" command. From recovery (4EXT or CWM) you can mount USB storage and transfer files. This is how I do till sdcard could be mounted directly
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ok here is news...

Galnet just released a stable ics build...

Changelog say...

*HW Acceleration Included (Browser, Video, Games etc)

M downloading...

lets see how it goes...:)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Okay, i made a hw acceleration compiled build, now need to make it work xD
[HTC Desire S] goatimus:
Visually what is the difference between ics and gingerbread. I used a pure gingerbread rom and I preferred miui over it. Is the basic lay out still the same.

sent from my armchair with my feet up
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Those are still MIUI ROMs with just some ICS framework additions.

That is not an ICS ROM like this one...

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Tried Youtube ...?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Sorry for the off-topic, but does it boot for you ? It bootloops on my device.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
okay, there is some progress... so nice to see live wallpapers xD
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Have you had any luck with market? Loving the rom got wifi,data but market is telling me 4ext is not compatible with my device when I try and download
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Is any one else having to keep putting in the network carrier on every reboot?

Also for the guys developing this, after about 30 mins to an hour i get a message saying that my sim is now added and my phone now needs to reboot?
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
SuperKid, which kernel do you use right now ?

Right now i am use official HTC rom, only because of optimised HTC kernel. Battery life is the best for this kernel. MIUI and CynodenMod are very good but battery drain are huge ='(
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I am remaking all the source :) better to get all organized :)

and i using a kernel i made here
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Finally got it too boot up...

Try this..

Install miui rom...

reboot,,,

Reach home screen...

Reboot...

Wipe cache dalvik cache...

Flash ics version...

Reboot...works...

This time they have actually embedded more things of ics.,.

More than just framwork :)
[HTC Desire S] bertie73:
guys please don't bother the dev will questions that have been answered previously in the thread- some really good work being done here but time being used to answer questions about what is the dif betwen ics and g/b really doesnt help- if you need to ask these questions then you should NOT flash this rom- This is an Alpha release that will,if the dev;s are left alone to do thir stuff be a full release very soon- Patience is a vertue :p
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
spotted in the desire hd forum that changing debug.fb.rgb565=0 to debug.fb.rgb565=1 in the build.prop helps speed things up. Just flashed the rom again and testing it out, will let you know if i see an improvement.

EDIT: Can't mount R/W in root explorer......
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Tested it and it's awesome, boots like a charm and looks pretty nice, unfortunately wifi doesn't work for me (can't enable it), but after fixes for this mobile network and the Mic it's nearby to get a daily usable ROM, thx for your hard work you are a genius getting this as far after this short time :)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, its recompiling now, but i dont think there will ne new updates today.. and my weekend ended, so sure there wont be so many fixes like were today and yesteday.

we will see :P
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
E

I managed eventually, seemed to finally mount R/W randomly, device is just booting up and I will report back.

EDIT: Can't say I'm really noticing a difference.

It might of been mentioned earlier but everything looks a lot nice if you set LCD density to 240
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I really like the progress that was this weekend :) on the week, its you guys time to fix the big stuff

i am still working on it and will work on it on week, but i am usually really busy.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Off topic:

There's a discussion on this bootloop issue. You should first wipe, flash one of their nightly builds, then flash the stable with no wipe. Then the bootloop will be gone
[HTC Desire S] -Sumsy-:
I dont get this boot loop situation as I've came directly from Sence to ICS and it went OK
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
I have found one bug which I'm not sure if its just me or not but every hour or so the rom freezes and then reboots which is a big pain as you have to reconnect to the phone provider each time
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Okay, there were stuff that i needed to edit after compile, i getting care now that everything is done from compile :)

also found fixed for pretty much things... but i need time to test them and implement them :P
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
[name]

i dont like the name superRom :( .. ics superkid was better or maybe SuperKidICS :D
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Super kid you are a legend what you have managed so quickly,looking foward to seeing what you have working now
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
You're awesome superkid, keep it up!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
No offence, but they're terrible!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Your right, sry^^ But supersandwich would be nice in my opinion^^

However the name is irrelevant and superkid has to choose it for his sweet beast ^^
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
SuperRom sounds the best or ICDS :)
[HTC Desire S] bertie73:
hmmm just to get back onto the subject in hand- is the main issue now egl?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yes it is. That and camera probably
[HTC Desire S] Jan_Joris:
Lovely how the biggest issue here seems to be the name. Frankly i couldn't care less what Superkid likes to name his work, you'd all better just hit the thanks button, post some fixes or issues if you find them, or shut the hell up otherwise.

Love where this is going, seems like my Christmass will be covered in Icecream. Thank you Superkid.
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
I quite like SuperICS tbh. Seems apt.

Good work so far - looking forward to watching this thread grow and grow. :)
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
I get that too, but for me, after about 30 mins to an hour i get a message saying that my sim is now added and my phone now needs to reboot?

You get that message too?
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
I do some times but more often it just freezes and reboots
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
The boot animation seems to have changed, from the flashy one to just saying Android
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Proxuser included to nexus boot animation in his build, the plain boring one is the one you get when you build for source.

It's a bit painful but I'm kind of managing to use the alpha build as a DD, there is just so much to like about ICS.
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Its leaps and bounds better than Gingerbread!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That's the one you get when there is NO bootanimation in the ROM. Delete the bootanimation.zip from any dom, you'll get this. You can add your own to this one too.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Recognised developer status removed. Nooooo!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Yeah... not sure why :P but okay...

Well, i am really busy right now, but i am compiling a better version..
[HTC Desire S] :
come online @ freenode ;)
[HTC Desire S] mexicorn:
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/recognized-developer-mistake/

On November 22, we mistakenly added a small batch of Recognized Developer due to a clerical error. These particular developers were waiting in the queue to be evaluated, and had not yet been looked at. As such, we’ve removed the Recognized Developer status from that particular group until our Developer Committee can properly process them.
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
What is working in this version?
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
how to install apps in this rom. tried downloading from mobile, even tried flashable zip, people have install root explorer and all jus want to know how..
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
do adb install PROGRAM.apk
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Silly mistakes... was getting error because of < > this...
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Thanks! I kept on unzipping the ROM and placing the apks in system/app
[HTC Desire S] Lilion12:
Great work superkid...

I had no issues with what you said was working, but i'm waiting for material acceleration...

keep on your work!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Worst time as the weekend is over but the desire HD port has a new kernel which slightly increases 2d acceleration. Don't know whether you could use the tweaks from that kernel or something
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
From DHD forum -

Some information that should be read about updated Adreno libs:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10447-adr...er/#entry54129
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
so, we must wait to qualcomm release the libs what we need ?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Again,from DHD forum,

well.. download the adreno sdk, and it should be alot easier to fix it.
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
My phone went into bootloops after restoring apps from titanium backup. Does this happen to any one else...
