It is something in the code. I installed reg ADW and smooth scrolling between home screens, but the app drawer acts really funky. And yeah my scrolling between home screens on the stock trebuchet launcher is smooth as can be, smoother then Beta 2 after I rebooted, But the dang on thing still keeps crashing. So I decided to try ADW. Same app drawer issues. So I think its has something to do with the code pertaining to when the app drawer is called. I think there is a bug in 4.0.3.

OH, And I am using google music 4.0.9

EDIT: I too am over-clocked to 1.4...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Yea, once they get the launcher issues worked out that thing will be epic. It's really come down to graphics issues now besides the camera and the launcher.

also, 4.0.9 is not the newest google music, it's 4.1.511 ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Maybe that is why mine doesn't have the graphic issues 4.1.511 has. Try the older version.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] it2swbrown:
Here is a short .mp4 of me using ADW EX. Smooth enough for me.

ICS+ADWEX

Edit: And it is smoother without the screen recorder going.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Cool cool, my thing is that I want the full stock android 4.0 experience though, that includes the launcher, animations and other random features. ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] it2swbrown:
Yeah. I would love to use the stock launcher or stockish launcher but I HAVE to have more than 5 screens. Lol. Once the screen addition mods come out I will go back.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FinalAssault:
Just curious, is it worth upgrading to this now or wait for an official (and more stable) release from like CM9?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
It's pretty stable now. Do you need your camera?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FinalAssault:
I don't use it everyday, but I also never know when I'll want to use it. So I guess I kind of just answered my own question. It's very tempting, I really want to go from 2.3.x to ICS.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Launcher

OK, I went over to Rootz and read the thread and Areoeven and Protekk say that you have to fix the permissions on the launcher and that fixes the crashing problems. No one over there mentioned any graphic issues with the app drawer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Yah, I run it for a few hours during the day. However, if you need a functioning camera, stay away. Otherwise, this thing is rock solid. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrismoo:
I found on beta 4 that the soft keys did not turn off - even when I hit the power button or if the screen timed out.

I am back so far on ntsh beta 2 for now.

Both seem to have mad graphic glitches in Navigation sometimes the yellow flashing might be enough to give someone a seizure!

This happens in ntsh and cm9.

Still the progress on this is amazing!

Thank you devs!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
If you Dnloaded the 4.0 beta off the main OP page, there is an update. Somewhere in the 80's Areoeven uploaded a kang CM9/Beta 4 update. The launcher crashes until you fix all the permission. I did and its runing great. No crashes so far. about 1/2 hour running, re-flashed and reinstalled my apps.

EDIT ok the widgets app drawer still crashed the launcher......
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ls1norcal:
What is the trick?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
You turn on the auto-brightness, hit okay, then without leaving the menu click the power button to put the phone to sleep, then click it again and unlock to get back to where you were in the menu, now just uncheck auto-brightness and set it to what you want and they should work until the next time you reboot. You have to redo the process after every reboot.

How did you go about fixing permissions, I fixed them in recovery and still have an overwhelming amount of terrible lag on the homescreens, it almost hits a frozen standstill half the time, almost to the point of unusability. I still also get random crashes, not so much in homescreen anymore but I still get them in the app drawer if scrolling to quickly in the widget section. I tried 3 different versions of google music and they all work fine in portrait, the second they are switched to landscape they start flashing red like a strobe, if it's set to "recent music" when I switch to portrait it's an instant fc every single time. I can deal with only using music in portrait for a little while until more graphics issues are resolved but the launcher problems are just way too much, fixing permissions did nothing at all. If you fixed them in a different manner please explain.

Just so everyone knows, I did a factory wipe/reset, then flashed the supersweep zip and finally formatted all except my SD. All I initially installed was the rom and gappsv5 like was recommended. I have not used anything on this rom that I wasn't using on NTSH Beta 2 either. I have tried using the stock android 4.0 launcher2, the cm9 launcher and nova launcher, all get the same results, heavy lag when trying to cycle between homescreens and a large amount of fc's in the widget section of the app drawer.

Looks like I'm prolly gonna just restore my NTSH Beta 2 rom for now, sadly it looks like that is the last of development we are gonna see out of NTSH, haven't seen a thing posted from rm2011 in weeks and Touchpro hasn't mentioned anything about improvements or working on any updates. It sucks because I felt the NTSH rom was a much smoother rom in general. :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] it2swbrown:
Did you change the VM heap size to 96? It worked better for me than 64.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
I changed the vm.heapsize yesterday before anyone was even speaking about it, all that did was slightly minimize the amount of fc's the launcher has when cycling through the widgets, which doesn't really help anyway because it still fc's just not as much. The issue is the configuration of the launcher and until aerovan figures it out the problems will persist. I'm glad a few of you are lucky enough to not have the problems. I did a backup of the rom and stuck it on my pc just in case any patches are dropped. I have since went back to NTSH Beta 2 which is much more reliable at this point.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
No, Mine is force closing more then wanted after re-installing all my apps. Even after changing the permissions. Everything else is pretty much fine. I went back to beta 2 as well.. They will get it fixed
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Yea I said that in the alpha build...about the toggle
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kendall316:
It seems like beta 2 is the most stable. Does anyone have the link for it? the only one i can find on 1st post is beta 1 and ive been skimming through the pages but cant find any of the other betas.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
I did it the old fashion way, I opened up root explorer and went to /system/app/Launcher2.apk and manually changed the permissions.

All was fine with very few crashes.....until I installed all my apps. Then sometimes side to side scrolling would be slow as can be, then sometimes it would be fast as hell. App drawer did not have the graphic issues I had earlier but the app drawer crashed lots. So hopefully that will get fixed. I am back on Beta 2 for now...

EDIT: yeah looks like we are going to have to wait for CM9......
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
I believe that TouchPro is hosting it on his page. Locate a post by TouchPro in the thread, and click on the link to his "not so secret stash" that he puts in his signature. The Beta 2 should be in that directory.

(You'll need to be accessing the thread from a web browser to see the link.)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
Yeah, what we build is basically a CM9 preview since their build bot is down and they haven't done anything official yet.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
AH that explains volumes! Like I said earlier Areoeven, you da man. Also I saw the contest over at Rootz, Put my vote in for ya, hope you get that nexus. I would get it but no sd card. Plus 4G not gonna be in Vt for at least another year. 3G for me!

EDIT: I am not a member a rootz, put in the vote as my name Aobierek. I hope you win. Just so ya know I wasn't b-sin,,:-)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Hey guys, while we are waiting for some updates and/or patches I thought I'd share a flashlight app I found here on xda, way better than the standard torch app cosmetically I think. Works great, just have to use something like root explorer to paste it in system apps and then change permissions to the usual rw-r--r--.

apk attached :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
I use "brightest flashlight". works great!

EDIT I downloaded it to check it out, that is the same torch app used in MIUI.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
I figured as much, since it says miui on the top of the flashlight. It looks way better than the normal torch apps though and works great on ICS. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
I agree it does! I like it. I like MIUI except the launcher. If I wanted an iPhone I would buy one. I used ADW over it. I like the menu API better then stock Android. I cant wait to check out ICS MIUI and drop trebuchet over it!

EDIT: I also hope the CM team puts sense type previews/pages into trebuchet.

Did anyone else notice u can still use the status bar from the lock screen and pull down notifications. Weird lol. Although it doesn't unlock my phone u can still read stuff hahaa
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
As long as you are not using a pattern/pw/pin lock you should be able. That is one of the changes in ICS that was demoed at the launch event.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Is anyone else not able to purchase apps on the market? This has been an issue on all ICS roms I just kept forgetting to mention it. I can download free apps no problem but it gives an error anytime I try to buy an app with the market on my phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
Which gapps are you using? The gappsv5.1 that is on the rootzwiki thread might work (but I don't think I actually tried...).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Have you tried buying on another ROM you know works and just "redownloading" on this since it'll be "free"?

Just a workaround I know, but for now would work methinks.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
I had issues as well trying to purchase apps from the market. Not sure which version of Gapps or Market I was using at the time. I had no issues buying from the Web Market though and then downloading to the phone. Weird :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NickAVV:
Or buying via the web based market and sending it to your device over the air, might work as well
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Ah true.

Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Forum Runner
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Buying via the web does not send it ota because this is an AOSP rom based on ICS, it doesn't read the phone it's supposed to send it to correctly so the install never happens. I did however purchase online and then wait like a half hour and wiped the data on the market app and it shows up then as "purchased". That allowed me to install, all of my previously purchased apps install fine just like free ones, the issue is purchasing them through the market for some reason.

Thanks for all the suggestions though guys. :)

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

Haven't tried the gappsv5 yet, I'll give that a whirl, if i flash them will they just replace the ones I already have on my phone? I was thinking about doing it anyway because I want the stock ICS keyboard with the working voice button.

One other quick question, have you checked into the launcher issues on your Beta 4 at all? That rom is ultra fast and smooth except for the terrible issues with lag on the homescreen and the constant fc's in the app drawer (especially in the widget section). It happens with all the launchers also, nova, trebuchet and stock. I've tried with the dalvik.vm.heapsize set at 64m, 80m and 96m, none of them fix the issue for more than a short period of time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brocksdad:
I am using the Beta 4 ROM with GApps 5.1 from rootzwiki and I just got an app from the web based market with no problems.

I must be lucky. I don't have any lag on the homescreen. I even compared it to a Galaxy Nexus and he pointed out to me how much smoother my phone was. I do get an occasional FC in the widget section of the app drawer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
I wasn't speaking about the web version of the market, I was talking about trying to purchase an app from the market app on the phone, everytime you try to purchase an app it gives an error and won't allow you to buy it (please not that this issue is only when trying to purchase an app, the free apps and apps you have already purchased in the past will install normally). It works on the market website no problem but it won't send it to your phone because the ICS rom is not meant for the Inc2, you have to wait a bit and then wipe your market app data, then you can install it from your market app on your phone. If your market is indeed allowing apps to actually be purchased then I am considering installing gappsv5, I hopefully will hear back from aerovan about that though since I already had a couple questions in my last comment regarding a few things and gapps being one of them.

As for your lack of lag on your homescreens, I am gathering you have very few apps and widgets on your homescreen pages because everyone else seems to be having drastic lag issues on and off at the least. I had no lag when I initially installed Beta 4 either, but the second I added all of my normal apps and widgets it became so laggy that it actually froze a few times, it's not the apps and widgets I am using either because I have not used anything or set anything up different than I did when using NTSH Beta 2 and that rom never had the lag or fc issues. The widget section fc's almost guaranteed everytime if you try to scroll through it fast.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vrgelinas:
I voted for AE as well... I'm in central NH near WRJ, so no 4g anytime soon!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] r_dub:
Actually dank you don't have to wipe your market data I've purchased several apps via the online market and they synced and downloaded with no issues on beta 1 and beta 2 of NTSH. Note, there are certain apps that are not compatible with ICS that will not download but that has nothing to do with the market not pushing the app to the phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
He's talking about in protekks beta 4

Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Forum Runner
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] r_dub:
I'm aware of this but what I am saying is that just because ICS is not meant for the inc2 is not the reason market sync didn't work for him. When infact it does work for some.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
I've been using Beta 4 for the past 2 days starting on my 3rd. I've had no issues downloading apps that I've bought, other than as stated above, apps that aren't capable of running on Ics yet, which hasn't been to many.

I have ran into not being able to purchase from the market though. But that wasn't on this build. But, within minutes of making the purchase on the Web market, the app was downloaded to my phone.

Edit: I'm currently using 3.4.4 version of market. Don't know if that makes any difference or not...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Im right down 91 from ya, Springfield, VT. You will see it before I do because of West Lebanon/Hanover/Dartmouth College/Hospital. It is a central hub for all the wireless providers up here in Northern NE. Still most likely about 8-9 months off for you as well. Yep 3G for us! No use getting a 4G phone yet. But just think how awesome phones will be in another year!

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

OK I am running the NTSH beta_2. market 3.4.4 does not let me purchase either.

I have flashed, gapps-ICS-2011125.apk and 1128 and the gAPPS 5.1 package that goes with Protekks beta 4. None of them work on Beta 2 as far as purchasing apps. Free apps no problem though......

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Only thing I'm confused about is ... Is that from HTC or someone make it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
They (the RC team of DEV's) built it. ICS merged with HTC Sense 3.5. @Tyler: And they are not going to make it look like ICS. It is Sense. It is it's own framework.

;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
For everyone wondering, it's a leaked build for the sensation that capy snagged. It's somewhat official
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
So much for the idea that ICS would make manufacturers abandon their custom skins (never believed that for a second anyway).

I know some are raving about it, but honestly, I think it's pretty ugly overall. Looks like little more than changing graphics just for the sake of changing graphics.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] romma1:
I'm more of a vanilla guy these days, but very nice snag....!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scarsofthumper:
Now what i'm wondering is if these Sensation roms leak out, does that mean that we're closer to getting the libs needed to get the camera working on stock builds?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ryankliber:
I was thinking the same thing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
I think Sense, in all it's incantations is ugly. Hate there API's for their menus and phone dialer and contact list especially. I prefer stock or MIUI. But with MIUI I always use a different launcher. I like there menu organization. launcher is lame. But I think they did a much better job with there dropdown menu's pop ups, etc. They just look more refined to me and they are more theamable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
This is probably good news in general just with drivers and an actual ICS kernel.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JLow0214:
Agreed sense is ugly the only thing I liked about it was the htc clock animations for weather and the way fb synced with contacts and had the statuses in your contacts other than that sense is garbage imo.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
I agree 100%. One thing, the Facebook sync is Facebook. They removed it from the new versions for some reason. I can remember with my ERIS I used KAOSFroyo and that was stock 2.2 and in that Facebook contacts were in the contacts list and showed there status. Any so did the MIUI version I was running on the DINC2 previously because I had not upgraded the Facebook app.

So I think it has nothing to do with Android but more so Facebook app itself.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
Exactly. MIUI just has that extra bit of polish to make it look uniform throughout. Sure ICS is better at that now, but GB and prior is just so visually inconsistent. GO Launcher on MIUI beats sense and pure aosp for sure.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
I think that the MIUI menus are better looking the ICS too. The only think that makes ICS better is the hardware acceleration. I can not wait for ICS MIUI and then I am going to drop trebuchet launcher over it. That will be the bomb I think!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jhight:
Unfortunately HTC has kind of locked themselves into a certain look and feel. They probably think that changing it will alienate a significant portion of their customer base (the masses of non-tech users)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I wonder what we are to expect with the camera performance once that becomes available.. Right now I just can't use an AOSP rom permanently because I feel the camera performance is just too poor even for little snapshots here and there.. Sense images with this cam are wonderful..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
The sense drivers for the camera are the same as AOSP. it comes down to the camera app. I used MIUI for abut 6 months, and it took great pics. I like there camera app too.

It also has to do with Gallery. Stock gallery is horrible, does not render the pics to there full extent. I use QuickPik and the pics look much clearer viewing them with that program.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] foomanjee:
So, I have to ask, because it's not very clear. What's the difference between this build, and the build at rootzwiki?
