Radio

wifi

market

thank you
[Galaxy S II General] DreamWiva:
Good idea

[Galaxy S II General] :
will do. if you have anymore suggestions regarding the first post on how to make it better i will do..should of reserved a few posts so its more spread out...:o sorry this is like my first proper major thread so im still learning:( anyway any suggestions PM me instead of posting here and i will do what you guys want to make it look better...anyway im off for the third time:D
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Good news!

"New build in progress - will maybe have wifi, and hopefully GPS - said netchip"

:D
[Galaxy S II General] JonesWTF:
I just read this, also.

I am waiting on one magic word, though. Sound. I saw the video with the sound working, so I'm hopeful. If it doesn't have it, it's not the end of the world, I'll just wait until there is :)

I'm guessing Bluetooth will be a big problem for the ICS build?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Yeah, pretty much the same for me, but i also need sdcard to use apps :)
[Galaxy S II General] russ18uk:
One step at a time. Get each major feature working one after another then it's quite possible to start configuring nightlies(?) Then miui can steal and start their work xD
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
They've just posted on twitter: "Internal and external sdcard storage should now be working :) - datagutt" :D
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
"Internal and external sdcard storage should now be working :) - datagutt"

Ok, fine, ICS will be my daily!

@Edit, argh, just a little late! :P
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I see a lot of progress in the past 3 days yet no releases. Is teamhacksung not allowing or is the progress buggy?
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
I'm just guessing, maybe at first they released some alphas to show off the result but then seeing the speed of their work they decided to wait for a more stable release
[Galaxy S II General] Gilg@mesh:
looking goooooood :D
[Galaxy S II General] MrHanks:
Same here, if WiFi will be fully operational as well! :)

Also, first time poster. Been hanging around here for a while though, especially in this thread. It's really amazing how so many things can be done in such short time, and I just wanted to express my gratitude - the devs are awesome! :')
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
New builds are out!

"A new build from netchip (build 3): http://aospsgs2.neo-utopia.eu/netchip-dev-build3.zip (ADVANCED USERS ONLY) - datagutt"

Don't know if it has CWM
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
All the developers were too busy getting drunk last night! lmao
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
"WIFI works in the latest build, enjoy" :D

Do you guys know if there's CWM? I have no usb cable here and it would be a problem to not have it
[Galaxy S II General] Gilg@mesh:
the zip file only contains boot.img and system.img how to flash it?
[Galaxy S II General] gasparzim:
I don´t think so:

@discardthismob Buliding a CWM-flashable package takes time, so no while it's not stable Xplodwild
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
As far as stability goes, they are really stable. I didn't get any FC's while using the alpha. The latest build also supports wifi, but no.CWM and I ain't trying it.

just curious, how do you flash these builds they're posting?
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Here's your answer

"Latest dev-heimdall flashable builds at http://aospsgs2.neo-utopia.eu/"

Too bad i can't flash them, gotta wait for a CWM one
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
They said don't use them if you don't know what Heimdall is and I have no idea at all. So I don't wanna screw up my phone just to mess with a partially working ICS. Maybe someone is willing to make CWM flashable zip's.
[Galaxy S II General] cchant:
Heimdall is a multi platform flashing utility, somewhat similar to ODIN. If your scared just wait it out for CWM flashable zip
[Galaxy S II General] Gilg@mesh:
if someone could tell me how to make a CWM zip I could do that. if its not too hard.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
I was thinking exactly the same. What I want to know is, if I edit an old Alpha zip (the files from within), and then try to flash it afterwards, it always fails the install. Cant work out why, which is annoying as I want to have a play with parts of the coding :(

So if someone answers the first part of the question, ill work the 2nd part out too :D
[Galaxy S II General] Gilg@mesh:
I found this

http://android.modaco.com/topic/344906-how-to-create-a-flashable-zip-for-cwm/
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I've flashed so many ROM's by now, I highly doubt an Open-Source ODIN would discourage me. It's the fact that I'll use it for 10 minutes then revert back to KJ3 since it's not usable day to day. Once all fixes are implemented(WiFi, sound, data), then I can try to use it daily. Anyone have any guesses why the black part shows when you pull the notification bar or use the keyboard?
[Galaxy S II General] adem_7:
Matriak31 and guys,

Good work with the thread. I wished there was something similar back in CM7 thread, when you had to dig through pages of posts to find something useful. Keep that first page updated. Great work for all devs working on ICS, hacksung and the rest.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Thanks but the META-INF structure is already in the alpha zips, so not sure what i would be changing there.

Ill continue searching though :)
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Bad news guys :(
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
Look at the bright side. Once it does come out, it's usable daily.
[Galaxy S II General] ferreinf:
That was expected, let the guys fix it up and wait for a beta or a nightly... ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] sorrowuk:
Does the latest build, build 3 have sound working ?

gps ?
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Sucks :(

Even more reason to work out how to make a flashable zip now :p
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I saw this coming, its better off like this, I like playing around but it gives the devs time to get things sorted out;)

We'll be waiting patiently :p
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
CWM flashable zips are unpacked, therefore not the raw image files. You'd need to unpack these and use an appropriate update-script and update-binary to install it. I'd link to a guide but I'm on my S2 and have a very poor connection.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Yes, I think they are just sick of the noobs asking why is this and that not working.

It's an alpha, there will be some things that are NOT working.

Looking forward to a working version. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
My question is. If I modify one of the alpha zips... The update-script and binary is already there. Im not adding apps, Im just editing code that is already there, hence my confusion on why its now not "appropriate"
[Galaxy S II General] idesire:
Maybe some good news in the latest tweet?
[Galaxy S II General] rewesh:
Try this: www[dot]glassechidna[dot]com[dot]au/products/heimdall/
[Galaxy S II General] jetpackjeff:
Not really bad news. Now developers can stop wasting time building cwm flashable beta dumps and actually focus more time and respurces on development. Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S II General] ferreinf:
Unprofessional? Are they making a pay check?? Comon guys let the guys do their "Hobbie" keep it up :-)
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
What are you going to do about it xD stop using their rom ?:p we're all humans here and none of those does this professional

Edit : don't misunderstand me, I think they are pro art what they do!
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
I think when describing a noob in different threads, they should use this comment as one example of arrogant noobish behaviour. :)

I completely agree :)
[Galaxy S II General] xTRPMx:
Even if they are, your're the one waiting for "14 years old kids to get this job done for you", so show more respect to them.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
One of them is only 12... Madness :)

Imagine what he will able to do when he is 24 :D
[Galaxy S II General] otester:
As there isn't a not working section is it best to assume it isn't working yet unless listed under each build?
[Galaxy S II General] penfold99:
Drink drugs and women. None of this coding malarky :D
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
OT:

A more or less Stable ICS for Nexus S is there.

www.gsmarena.com/ice_cream_sandwich_custom_rom_now_available_for_nexus_s-news-3402.php
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
Here is a CWM Version of "netchip-dev-build3.zip" which basically contains all of the files from the zip.

There are still some modifications neccessary to make it work the same way the Heimdall/ODIN Version does...but it basically works and is a base for the next steps...

Tested it using CWM 5.0.2.7 (from Siyah 2.2beta15 Kernel) with a full wipe and format of /system before and it works...

But remember! There's no working CWM after flashing this!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
As its half the size of Alpha 8, whats different if you know? Is it just the apps?

Do you know if restore works in CWM as apparently it did not with Alpha 8.

Edit:

Was not there when I wrote the message, ignore :)
[Galaxy S II General] marlonbr:
Guys, I'm running ICS with Wifi and Market working!

Download odin-flashable file from here:

http://aospsgs2.neo-utopia.eu/downloads/netchip-dev-build3-odin.tar

I had constant force-closes and no keyboard, so I discovered that it was the keyboard that was FCing, so I went to Language & Input and put Android Keyboard as Default (before it was a chinese). Then I could login to my Wifi by typing the password.

To enable gapps and market, download this file:

http://aospsgs2.neo-utopia.eu/downloads/gapps-ics-20111115-signed.zip

I couldn't flash it on CWM because it couldnt mount my sdcard, so I flashed lastest SpeedMod kernel, entered CWM and flashed the gapps, then since it wont boot in ICS I edited the netchip-dev-build3-odin.tar file to flash only the kernel. I uploaded it to mediafire for your lazy asses!

http://www.mediafire.com/?eqxdba03g6wtlln

So, back to ICS Market was apparently working but it was FCing before installing something, so I downloaded a newer market from here:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/19/download-new-android-market-version-3-3-12/

And uploaded it throught adb over the original:

sudo adb remount

sudo adb shell rm /system/app/Vending.apk

sudo adb push Phonesky.apk /system/app/Vending.apk

So now I can install what I want but I can't find ****ing gmail anywhere! =(

To make clear:

Because of some graphical problems, Maps isnt showing properly so I couldn't test the GPS, and sound isn't working. But I recommend using this build to play some Android pseudo-hacking.

Hope you guys have fun!
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Why don't you try with GPStest?
[Galaxy S II General] ferreinf:
Or gps status, I don't have my pc, so not trying till e get home...
[Galaxy S II General] ferreinf:
THANK YOU... :-)

Remember that the sudo adb... It's only need it on linux or terminal (I guess) on a windows pc just type it without sudo...
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
I read both threads and have been doing so since they were opened.....and i can see why it got to closed testing....all of us are trying the alphas out and finding stuff not working....all natural though cause they are after all alphas.....and to try them and then post this and that isn't working.....i bet they already know.....to early to be bringing up bugs i think.....i have tried them to just to look around.....and i as everybody else look forward to what will come.....in due time when they can be satisfied with what they are releasing....you are in my book the greatest all of you devs.......you have all the skills to do this....and i don't so i will always be greatful for all the time you spend doing this for us......again a big big thanks.....
[Galaxy S II General] marlonbr:

[Galaxy S II General] Tyrany:
Does the alphas have cwm or do i have to flash a kernel with it
[Galaxy S II General] PE4ce:
how can I port ICS keyboard only to my stock ROM??
[Galaxy S II General] Coentje44:
They have built-in cwm.
[Galaxy S II General] ayamary:
I don't think it's actually possible to port it over. I've heard it's because it's too deeply integrated into ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
You may hate me For this question,

Do these builds exhibit the "android os" bug?
[Galaxy S II General] qsec:
Just read in the irc that data is kind of working now.

The error now is that it isn't 'auto-configured'

Not quite sure what that means.
[Galaxy S II General] :
no we do not hate you for asking a question..this is the whole point of the thread.;) and for this time being i will say no as its not fully functional yet so no point commenting if it has or not...hope that answers your question my friend

[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
Phew, just finished reading the whole thread. Can see why people get shot down for asking the same question over and over, the whole soft buttons thing got rather tedious.

The question I have hasn't been asked in here so hopefully won't get shouted at lol. The S2 is my first Android phone, so the upgrade to ICS will be my first Android OS upgrade, rather than a point update. For those who have experienced Froyo to Gingerbread etc, how is app compatibility after a major upgrade? Wondering if stuff like Chainfire 3D, Juice Defender, Titanium Backup and the like will work normally or whether the code will need to be tweaked to run?

Or am I just asking a daft question and it's the same as other OS updates where it's hit and miss, some will work fine and others will need some re-writing?
[Galaxy S II General] kevnb:
cant wait until this is finished, really like how smooth everything is.
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
+1 to this, i was wanting to know myself
[Galaxy S II General] JonesWTF:
I was wondering about Titanium Backup myself. I haven't actually used any of the alpha builds yet specifically because of this reason. I was thinking it just wouldn't run because, I'm thinking, these alphas aren't rooted and, as such, won't include SU and busy box. I assumed they'd be added when it's more stable?

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
The Alphas are rooted, gathered that much from the epic read in here :) Wouldn't expect those apps to work in the Alphas as they need to get all the standard stuff working first. Was more asking for when we have a full stable version.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
I never tried TB, though I did have a play with Antutu benchmark on Alpha 6.

When the next build is out that we can actually test (Wink wink developers) Ill test TB, Chainfire, and any other apps that you wish (as long as I can get hold of the apk file)
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
How come its so easy to port for this device?

[Galaxy S II General] rommy667:
Fantastic work thanks to all involved in getting this to us so fast
[Galaxy S II General] :
you guys are forgetting one thing....the most important app that needs to be working is market.;) if market is working then you will know what will be compatible and what wont be as i am sure the market would detect the new firmware and would tell you what apps would be suitable to use on ICS....or another way round have the file on your phone memory and then just install like normal...and that is say you have TB try to install it and not flash and see what happens...always make sure you have your backup to revert to...

EDIT:anyway tomorrow i will be clearing up most of the first post....i will keep the basic stuff there but the rest will be cleared and i will be adding some new info there
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
The most important app to get working is TB as it would have all your apps to test.. Never occured to me before.

Market will often say certain apps are not supported when they are, either because of things like Nvidia drivers (Obviously can fix with chainfire) or because of having different DPI's etc. IMO its much better to test with the APKs for the phone, ignoring software incompatibility errors :)

Thats just my opinion though.
[Galaxy S II General] :
sure it will be compatible..check my previous post....either way im sure someone will tweak with the code and will have those running in no time..most important thing is to have a working port to get our hands on;)

read above and previous post:)

not one hundred percent sure if they are rooted but if going by experience they are...:) either way i think the questions should be asked once we get a working port....

im working on a secret project....getting jelly bean ported over:D
[Galaxy S II General] kamzata:
What's password for build5.zip?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Good point my little assistant...;) but for me even though yeah you are right TB is the most important app i still feel market as a very important one to;)

[Galaxy S II General] kapa75:
I wanna test the alpha. :D

However, is CMW recovery included?
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
This would be assuming you already rooted and all that so i doubt it would have it included. Not sure however!

Might be a noob question but what about the mouse like circle ?! why is it there ?!:D
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Just played with it for about half an hour and fell in love with ICS even more.

To anyone with questions about restoring roms it works flawlessly..had no issues going back to my daily.

Thanks to the devs putting in time on this proyect and keep up the great work.
[Galaxy S II General] :
dude you are awesome man:D

and yeah regarding about trying the rom and restoring as long as you have back up its fine to use....i played with it myself and like Dorilife said i fell in love with it as well..
[Galaxy S II General] seezy:
Ok, I think this is a noobish question, but how do I install this alpha?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Download it and flash like normal. Make sure you have a backup so you can restore to..I have tried it and it works fine i restored back to my daily rom without any problems....The alpha is not much at the moment the one i have tried but just playing with it just makes you fall in love with ICS even more...But do it at your own risk my friend..:)
[Galaxy S II General] seezy:
flash with odin? I tried with CWM but then It freezes on bootscreen with the yellow sign, so there's no root for ICS so CWM flash won't work, am I right?
[Galaxy S II General] darkevangerion:
Flash it via CWM after make a restore of your current ROM.

After flashing it, you can enter in recovery to restore your backup.

EDIT : (Wipe Cache & Dalvik cache - And/Or format /system before flash.
[Galaxy S II General] :
No do not flash with odin..first backup your rom..then wipe data, cache, dalvik and then flash the rom....then be patient and wait for it to boot up.

then if you want to restore back then what you do is go back into recovery by pressing power button, home button and volume up all together and then once you are in recovery just restore back as normal...

but please only do this if you know what you are doing:)
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
You have to boot into recovery.. in advanced wipe system/data/cache then flash the rom, that's what I did.

Make sure you have a nandroid backup.

Have fun.
[Galaxy S II General] seezy:
Well I flashed it with CWM and now I just see the bootscreen with the yellow sign since 15 minutes.

EDIT: OK, I've tried again and now it works (;

thanks mates.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Does that mean its already rooted and contains CWM?

I know how to restore etc and would love a play of this Alpha build. Just wondering about the rooted bit, and if its not, how come we can still access CWM? :o
