Oh btw setting background processes other then standard will cause some apps to malfunction. So if u have app problems and u changed this try putting it on default. My weather channel app doesn't work unless on standard

IDK

Just got back from dinner with my cousin for the holidays. He's a perimedic and has to work on x mas, anyway, I did a super wipe and flashed the 3.5 beta and I can not get past the lock screen. I don't get it. Is this still running the GB hacked drivers or does it have the drivers from the Sony/Erricson post? the Adreno 205 drivers that is. because the hacked NTSH_beta 2 runs smother then this build. Maybe it's my phone, It is an older Dine2. Got it the first week of release. IDK. I was thinking this one would be smoother. Wish I knew more about programming. OH and I am talking about he Protekk 3.5 build.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Apparently beta 4 is live and is a HUGE improvement. I'll test later and let you guys know unless someone else wants to. I'm downloading now. Apparently you can use animations now.

Ok well I've just spent about 15 minutes playing around with ProTekk's new beta 4, and my impression is that touchpro's beta 2 is smoother. So for now, I'm sticking with the build we have here.

(Loving the constant progress on both sides, though!)

Edit: One other thing to consider is that ProTekk's build has some cool CM9 stuff that touchpro's does not (for example, I noticed some power menu modifications).

Edit 2: Since the new ICS screenshot feature is so easy to use, I thought I'd post what I'm talking about. (See attached.)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Im 50/50, I think it is just as smooth, but some of my apps are FC's. But overall. Very impressive. Thanks DEV's. Frigging amazing.

EDIT: OK I reinstalled about 10 apps.( usually I have about 250) anyway about half of them keep force closing after a few min. Not right away but after a little time. Also Trebuchet launcher keeps crashing for me as well. But I thing the transitions are overall smoother then NTSH beta 2. But my apps didn't crash on that. Just a heads up..

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Never mind

OK my bad, I had accidentally checked kill all processes when closing window option in the development section. DUH. now nothing is crashing. Sweet. DEV's you guys just kicked ass. Congrats on this build. I said it before, I will say it again. Frigging Amazing!

Ha Ha Ha Yeah! Google music working flawlessly with no graphic glitches in any position! SAWEEEET!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Gave it a whirl, I must admit, the EGL is functioning smoother than NTSH Beta 2, No graphics issues when opening certain things, one example, clicking on the native homescreen search app widget has no glitching. Only problem I see is that the launcher constantly fc's. Doesn't matter what launcher you try (aerovan suggested novalauncher works, it doesn't though) constant FC, especially when trying to cycle through the app drawer. Also, and this is my own preference, no crt on/off. :( If they can get the launcher issue resolved they have a definite RC once the camera is functional, still no softkey lights unless you do the auto-brightness trick though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Check out my post just after that. I pulled a bone head move. Working great now, And yes smoother then beta 2. Google music 99% working a few minor graphic issues bit nothing like on Beat 1 and 2 NTSH. I am impressed a hell. And yes trebuchet launcher is still crashing on me every now and then as well. Still DD candidate for sure.

Edit. HUH, my softkey lights are working just fine... No crt on/off, do you mean press the power button and screen blank and back on? If so that works on mine just fine as well.....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Softkeys do not light up if you have auto-brightness turned off unless you do the trick to get it working, and that only works until you reboot and you have to repeat it again. There is not any CRT on/off animations either. I wiped fully and there was none. Launcher constantly fc's anytime you try to cycle through the app drawer, does not matter what launcher you use, stock, trebuchet or nova.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
I tried Aeroevans suggestion of upping the size of the Dalvik VM... It helps. I went up to 64M... No more FC's on the Nova launcher... The phone feels more responsive as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I haven't flashed yet, I'm planning to in just a little bit but I tried opening the build.prop, and I never found VM heap. Of course, there's a lot to read, so I probably skipped over it, but could someone maybe lemme know or send me a modified build.prop?

Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Forum Runner
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
Yeah I changed it to 64 in the build.prop before I flashed and had no force closes in the stock launcher if I left the window animations at 0.5 where they were set. If I slowed them down to stock or lower I had fc until I went back to 0.5. Other than that no more artifacting. Did have some graphics lag still even at 1.4ghz but not much and wow is it the best build yet. I could live with it if it had a camera. Hopefully when we get that the ROM will be perfect.

Sent from my brain using human to phone transport technology.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
Open the zip with 7zip or equivalent and double click the build.prop and choose wordpad or just about any text editor on Linux or Mac. Hold ctrl (cmd on mac) and press f. Type heap and hit enter if needed. It should be highlighted. Change it to 64 and save. The zip program should ask you if you want to update the zip and say yes and flash it to the phone.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vrgelinas:
The beta4 is running very well. Very, very smooth with only the camera inop and a couple of random launcher f/c. I forgot to wipe before installing the first time... oops... and ended up in a nice boot loop (I came from a Sense ROM).

I'm thankful to ALL the devs who have worked on this - it takes teamwork to make something possible. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
Nice. Lol yeah I use the 4ext recovery and in the wipe menu it has an option to format all partitions but the sdcard. It gets system, cache, data, boot, sd-ext (think that's all of them). Simple to do before every ROM install. And the basic app with the recovery is free. Not sure if the touch recovery is free but the regular one is. And the standard one still has working soft keys. Plus it is CWM based so it works with ROM Manager and can also convert partitions to ext3 or ext4 if the ROM allows (I think the free version is unlimited in the recovery but limited in the app).

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] live2die:
it's free too, i'm using it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Yep. Free version you can use any recovery version you want, but there's no theming or other stuff like that available. Of course no themes for touch yet since its new and not finalized.

That's exactly what I'm using - just in my excitement to try the delicious Ice Cream Sandwich (more like Ice Crack Sandwich because it's so addictive), I forgot to \angel.

On another note, I love the touch recovery - much easier and faster than the buttons.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] it2swbrown:
I use Rom Toolbox. It has an option to edit build.prop straight on the phone. I changed the VM size to 64 from there just now. Will give it a little bit to see if it worked. Everything else is running great. Only issue is camera which is not an issue for me because I do not ever use it.

Edit: Haven't had 1 FC since doing this. Also have it OC'd to 1.4 and it is FAST. Best yet IMO.

I use SetCPU... some people like other things because it offers more control, but I paid for SetCPU and it works just fine... I wish my phone liked more than 1.4GHz, and even then it's when it feels generous lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
Pretty much any OC app. SetCPU, No Frills CPU, etc.

SetCPU has profiles which is nice, but No Frills is free and also lets you change the i/o scheduler, which is handy.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I'm using antutu now. Thanks.

Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Forum Runner
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
Cool - just checked it out. It is basically the same as no frills and the paid version combines them. Already own SetCPU so no need to buy another OC app.

On a funny but related note, I ran ICS for about a half hour yesterday and when I installed antutu a minute ago I denied SU because I was used to the reversed button placement already. I like it the new way.

How is everyone finding battery life? I am down to 39% after being unplugged for only 3.5 hours. The battery just shows Display, Cell standby and Phone Idle as top users - screen @ 65%. I have timeout set to 1 min and also turned brightness way down manually.

I'm running OC'd at 1.2 with the Smartassv2 gov and Sio on the I/O scheduler.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrismoo:
Thanks for sharing. I am running no WIFI but BT is on. Never been a problem on RMK Gingerbread I used to run, you have about the same screen time as me.

Maybe I will completely wipe again without any apps and see how I go without anything installed to see if I can debug an app that is silently sucking my battery dry.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
AHHH the animations. I didn't even notice. But I have done nothing to the brightness settings at all and my lights work just fine and are there after a reboot. Sta-range! But yeah Launcher keeps crashing and my Root explorer crashed every now and again. Still impressive tho and they are getting oh so close!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Grouper:
I was pretty sure he was using "kid" pejoratively, although I know four year olds with better manners.

So is there a build that works without turning animations off? I can't tell because certain people have been claiming everything works but the camera in theirs, which apparently isn't true. Please don't bash me for not reading 1,540 posts in this thread to find out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
The build on rootzwiki basically has everything but camera. I just posted a build that sets the heap size to 64m by default and also has some other small tweaks here: http://www.multiupload.com/QZPSYQRYZD

It seems that crt off animation isn't on for some reason... I know it was working a few test builds ago but I must have changed something... but most (all?) of the other animations should work.

EDIT: There are still some bugs, but everything but the camera should work.

EDIT2: Also, do a full wipe and use these gapps: http://fzservers.com/ics/gapps/gappsv5.1.zip

Lots of issues are related to gapps (like calendar sync issues or whatever).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrismoo:
Hi Aeroevan - first of all thanks for all you guys are doing. I wanted to know how battery life is on your build? I seem to have some issues here with the beta 2 and wondered if anyone had done a comparison or if you could share your experience with battery life.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
I haven't been on battery for too long, I've been flashing too many builds to really work the battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] r_dub:
If you are using beta 2 I would recommend using incredicontrol and undervolting I'm currently set at -25 on all and it works wonders for me I get great battery life and I'm a heavy data and text user. Phone calls still seem to drain the battery rather quick but I can live with that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bcs296:
aerovan -- I'm currently running the tweaked version of beta 4 that you just posted and loving it.

One thing I am noticing is that opening the drawer is very choppy initially but then after it's open and I have scrolled through the different pages once, it is butter smooth. Is there any way to force/lock that data in memory so that it isn't choppy every time?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrismoo:
Cool thanks, will check it out!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
That's the only issue I've noticed too. I don't think there's any way to lock it into memory yet, but I'll look into it when I have some time.

Still getting a trebuchet force closes constantly when adding widgets with 64m heap size. Makes ROM annoyingly unusable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
For everyone having issues with the Launcher (I was one of them) Adw Ex will work with this build... quite well actually. It may not be quite as fancy, but it is smooth, and doesn't FC :)

Another option is the Nova launcher. it works alright as well, but still has a few FC's...

Adw with a few additions pictured:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Well I figured since you are posting here I'll point out the issues I have, since all you guys on rootz no doubt hate me.

I upped the dalvik.vm.heapsize to 96m and have no force closes at all in the app drawer (which would constantly fc whenever trying to select a widget or if scrolling the pages quickly). I still get random freezing and fc's from the launcher in homescreen quite a bit (doesn't matter what launcher is being used). I've even had about 4 actual reboots. Softkeys do not light up on reboot unless you turn auto-brightness on and then off again on every reboot. Google music app is working better as some have said but still fc and very bad graphics issues if trying to go into landscape. Noticed that the homescreens are very unresponsive even at 1.4ghz also. Not to say that everything else is not super smooth. I noticed giant improvements in scrolling on pretty much every app and in every menu. The native google search widget works with no graphics issues too! That's awesome. Mainly it seems that any and all issues left reside in the launcher. If that could be smoothed out this would seriously be a RC once camera is working. I figure you'll get the crt when you have time. One more small thing I noticed. Your boot animation is not the right resolution. I switched it with the one I altered to 480x800 and it is crystal clear on boot. I included it on my post if you wanna try it out. Great work and just so you know, regardless of your disliking of me, I never had a problem with you, I just disliked protekks lack of patience with people trying to give constructive criticism and the way his followers attacked anyone he doesn't like. ;)

*Edit, I forgot to mention, Gallery app fc's almost everytime you try to crop a picture for any type of app, on the rare occasions it doesn't fc there is the same majore graphics issues as have been present in every build of ICS for Inc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] touchpro247:
Thank you aeroevan for adding the ums fix to your git.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Can we expect any new updates from you touchpro? :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
My observation -- Areoeven Kang CM9/beta 4 tweak rom

I like you Dank, I think you make some valid points. Some things I have thought of asking. I never ask over at Rootz. I think those guys do amazing work, but I'm too old for BS. They work at there pace and that is fine with me. It will come. But I digress...

OK , I have been running the Kang/tweak Beta 4 since about 4pm EST, I guess. Took and hour , which it always does; to reistal about 1/2 the apps I use on a reg basis. I installed the .apks straight from a directory on the sd card using Root explorer . This is the only app (root explorer) I found the menu scolling is chunky. everything other program smooth as budda. Switching between home screens, scrolling left or right; smooth as budda. If you do not go into the app drawer, the sucker will run forever.

I found the same issues as all of you did with the app drawer and some other funny graphic issue.. Has anyone experienced opening the app drawer and you can see the page behind the one you are on. The icons are just at their smaller scale. And it keeps doing that as you page thru and them of course, the crash comes. And yes, I get the crashes with some of the widgets, but not all. However, I have yet been able to scroll/page to the last few pages of my widgets. Crashes every time. So I agree the bug must be in the launcher.

Google music works much much better, Just few minor graphic glitches. Very minor I might add. yes Gallery does have some issues, but I use QuickPic and it runs great. When the app drawer does work it so smooth.

All my apps I have tested, except root exploder; have no issues and run great and smooth. No Wifi issues connects and finds everything. BT works flawlessly.

Oh and again I do not have the soft key button issues you have. Mine worked right out of the box so to speak and light up fine on every reboot. I have rebooted it 2 time since installing/flashing this rom.

So over all I would say they are 95% there. Just awesome DEV'S, just awesome.

EDIT: Thanks Areoeven, you da man.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I think the problem is if you turn auto bright off. Then the keys may go out and you have to toggle auto brightness on and off. Dank, you got auto bright off??

Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Forum Runner
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Yep, That's what I have tried to explain to everyone more than once. If you turn off auto-brightness the softkeys do not light up after reboot unless you toggle it on and off. ;)

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

have you tried switching to landscape view in the google music app, i can almost guarantee it will either force close or turn red with an overbearing amount of graphics issues, this is nothing new, it has been the problem on all ICS builds so far. Honestly besides the softkeys not working if auto-brightness is turned off and the launcher issue, everything works great. I however reverted back to NTSH Beta 2 because it's more stable, hopefully we see a new build from Touchpro integrating some of the things that made Aerovans new build quicker and smoother though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] it2swbrown:
Having awesome battery life. Had a few fc's when VM heap was at 64 but since setting it to 96 no issues at all. This thing is fast for me. Using adw ex and the 4d vertical app drawer and no lag at all. Haven't tried turning auto brightness off to test soft keys. Auto brightness doesn't bother me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
OK I managed to get to all the widgets I always use and now scrolling left and right on the home screens is like Alabama mud. very slow and choppy. Darn!

When I go to landscape in Google music I just get a little yellow square in the very upper left. And I am talking very small part of the screen. Flip back and all is fine and the music keeps playing. I use winamp anyway. Looks like it is back to Beta 2 for a while. It is more stable. I am thinking there is some bugs in the 4.0.3 code release, because beta 2 is 4.0.1. Just my $0.02..

EDIT: OK I rebooted and now with all the widgets, it is back to smooth as budda. Go figure....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Are you using the newest version of Google Music off of the Market, because the issues I am pointing out is in reference to that app. The one that has the headphones icon in the app drawer. The one that comes with gapps and has the speaker icon works fine with no glitches, i just don't like it because it's meant for GB not ICS. As for you adding your widgets, I think that was my issue too. I did a second install after I read your post a few pages back to see if I just had a bad install, once I booted everything was smooth from page to page until I added my widgets and changed my icons, then it got so sluggish the launcher actually froze a few times for a few seconds. Also, is it just me that has a youtube widget with the sizing of 6x3? I uninstalled and reinstalled and it didnt change, everytime I tried to add it to my homescreen it said there was no room, even on a blank one. I have no doubt due to the misconfiguration of the size. This issue was only present on Aerovans beta 4.

EDIT* I honestly don't know how your homescreens can be smooth, even oc'd to 1.4ghz the homescreens are super slow and laggy. I seriously think the issue resides in the configurations of the launcher in that build.
