Rm, have you thought about doing the rom up without the Gapps added in. 2.4.1 was working really well, and adding in the Gapps with the flashable zip(with the three apps removed) worked well (ala Cm7). I have a version of the Gapps that Koush posted to use with Cm9. It has the wallet app, which I didn't notice in the other Gapps Ics zip (wallet works to). I ended up trying both versions, and they both were fine. I didn't have any issues with the double apps in the app drawer either.

Just a thought anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thatguych4rlie:
Double check that both email apps work for you. The second email app (not Gmail) crashed every time on my clean install of super ROM 2.4.6.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cskamoskva:
I read threads on XDA all day long, never once felt the need to post. So I clearly posted in some other threads just so I could get to 10 so that I could say this:

I just really wanted to say to all you Devs that are actively and even passively contributing to this WIP. Thank you.

It makes me feel really good about XDA, the Android platform, and about the Incredible 2 as well that we can come together and do something pretty awesome.

Work on this rom is moving at lightning speed and even the current dev release is pretty impressive to play with considering a month ago we weren't seeing any kind of hope of getting ICS on an Incredible 2 unless HTC decided to OTA it to us sometime in, whenever 2012.

I sincerely from the bottom of my heart appreciate all your work.

After saying that, I do have a couple things to add to the list after testing the current build: SuperROM V2.4 for Inc2.

1)MMS doesn't work.

2)Cannot receive calls.

3)When opening some apps, when you try to go back with the back soft-key to the home-screen it glitches and shows jumbled text, and icons.

4)No unlock screen.

5)Home soft-key does not work.

6)Bluetooth won't turn on.

7)Wifi won't scan/detect nearby networks.

8)The gallery generates thumbnails, but only displays them properly when youre actively moving from side to side. Otherwise the thumbnails display as solid black.

9)When singing into your Google account it gives the errors: Unfortunately, Exchange Services has stopped repeatedly. However, it appears to add the account.

10)Google TTS Engine has stopped, when trying to use "Speak location" in Navigator. However, directions and GPS work great, including voice guidance.

That's really all I could find in my little bit of use.

I already know some of these have been fixed, and I know most of these are incredibly minor in terms of the priority fixes. I just wanted to help out in any way I could due to my lack of dev experience and hope that some of these will assist you all.

Thanks,

Cska

Problem: I sent in a lolcat to the devs and all I got back was 'haha'. Why are you laughing at me? :mad:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NickAVV:
It's cause you sent a lolcat, when you meant to send a logcat. Simple mistake ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hudsong:
:P Thanks a lot for your hard work guys. I wish that I had a head for code.. instead I just write well in English :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NickAVV:
Haha, I'm not a dev, but I appreciate them too!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
I will probably switch to making gapps a seperate install again. 1. It reduces the size of the Rom by a third. 2. It's not technically legal to include it. And 3. It seems there were less problems with it when we did it that way.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Good job RM and all of you dev
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Sounds like a good idea. Just one less problem to have to deal with in the debugging process.

Pm sent as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlln147:
Only problem I'm having is with hardware keys and choppyness (egl) which is being worked on. I couldn't be happier now. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dpdoughty:
Awesome

Loving the progress being made on this. Cant wait for a daily driver to hit. Wifi being hit and miss as well as Enhanced Exchange having issues downloading calendar (when exchange isnt crashing) are causing me to go back to Gingerbread.

Keep up the great work guys.

Name change- New version is called IceCreamSandwich_v_2.5.0

I got gapps ALMOST working completely working with one exception; contacts.

Contacts is not actually part of GApps but some of the APK's it relies on, are. I have kept it included in the rom for now. Thanks to PacerguyDon for the link to the updated GApps. Also thanks to silentjoker for the free FTP direct links. It is almost 5 in the morning now.. going on 13 hours of working on this the last 2 days. So, I will try to troubleshoot why contacts is FC'ing after I get some sleep.

Changes:

Home and search buttons working

Almost solved all gapps fc's

updated build.prop

3G stability improved

Now correctly identifying Carrier, signal strength

DL: IceCreamSandwich_v_2.5.0-signed.zip - 137.2 MB

If anyone wants to logcat it FC'ing and try to figure out why it is happening, feel free to let me know :)

I like to check it out link please
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Right above your post lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
i havent particulary followed this thread, but is this still an sdk build?

or a fork of what protekk, aerovan, and company are working on rootz?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ubuntunerd:
Try to download it says failed
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlln147:
Downloaded fine for me. Phone and contacts apk removed. Hardware keys and Gapps work. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ubuntunerd:
Got it now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] romma1:
Downloaded, still very laggy but much improved.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I wonder if removing the dialer and contacts and replacing with say go contacts if that'd work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Hmm never thought of that I'm about to try it out
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Kool lemme know. I'm wondering if anything else can be fixed this way.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sum182:
I installed go contacts and made a succesful phone call from the dial pad, it doesnt sync with google though so im restoring to export my contacts to the sd card so i can import them to go contacts on ICS to see if everything works properly, will report back. oh the joys of being bored at work lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] silentjoker:
I would think why waste time using duct tape when you can use that time to correct the problem. I know alot of times its easier to just use something else and bam sometimes it works but then if down the road soemthing relies on what were ignoring we run into another problem. etc etc....

Thats from my dev stand point. But everyone thinks differently.

I mean no harm with this message.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I agree, I'm just thinking for those people who are just dying to have ICS on their phone can make minor fixes and stuff so they can have their fix lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sum182:
Completely agree, but being that im a newb and cant contribute as much as others nor understand the issues at hand, a temp fix till the true devs get it working makes me feel better lol

UPDATE: I couldnt get the contacts imported from the sd card to go contacts. It reads the vcard files but they never populate, tried rebooting and still nothing, i also just noticed you cant add contacts either lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Hmmmm was still a good try though...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dclay89:
I can't get this to boot from boot manager. Does it have to be booted from system or am I doing something wrong? I tried ext2 and ext4, neither got past the splash screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Konner920:
It's booted from the system now. it hasn't been through boot manager since the first build.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
you need to keep stock contacts app for syncing to work even with go contacts installes.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Konner920:
I'm really excited to see EGL fixed, I want use ICS first hand, instead of watching the smooth. I want to experience it :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlln147:
Can't wait for a stable build. I'm using this as a daily driver right now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thatguych4rlie:
You brave man. :P

If anyone who hasn't been brave enough to try the rom out yet wants a preview, here are screenshots attached.

Our source is now being updated at:

https://github.com/charliemathews/NTSH-ICS

You can also download the latest version there:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
I don't think running an alpha build on a fully unlocked device is bad. Takes <3min to restore a backup.

Now if this were a Moto device, then I would not be so ready to use as a daily driver, because if something breaks, you will probably need a PC to fix it.

Great job everyone!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] luvtorev:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thatguych4rlie:
Yes, it is.

2.5 included lots of small fixes. It includes google apps but future releases will not. Please refer to the OP to see what's working.

Last time I checked, phone was still in the launcher by default. It works for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:

Ah, I didn't know that was v2.5
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
For those running it, has overclocking helped with smoothness at all
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I'll give it a shot.. I'm sure the graphics and smoothness are slightly behind some other items but I know it will get fixed.. I remember testing roms out in their infancy and seeing the same thing.. Just a matter of time.. I'm just happy these great dev's are working toward a rom for the DINC2 ...

I can't get through set up.. I finished set up if I skip entering my name as "owner of this phone" ... that stopped the force close ...

And phone is missing... interesting.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
It helps a little, but it's still a little choppy. Kind of slow to respond when typing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Ok.. if logcats will help I'll see what I can do.. but phone is there.. I received a call and it sounds great.. speaker phone even works.. end call.. phone force closes.. but phone isn't there... may take me a bit.. I think I'm gonna dump windows for a linux build to help out.. but I'll do what I can for ya!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thatguych4rlie:
To get past that you currently have to erase both fields (make sure they are blank) and hit next. That should help you avoid a FC.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Ok.. here is the logcat for phone force close.. I think I got it all.. ton of info here but I think it's all there that you will need.. if you can't make sense out of it I will start a new one for you...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
anything specifically modded? as the git doesnt fork their source its not exactly easy to see whats different

just fwiw...u should really add sbrissen and omj to the credits list as at the least the early part of the rom/source that protekk posts was driven by them
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Apparently Protekk is gonna be releasing a Beta ICS rom tonite.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] illcat2000:
Hell to the yea!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
This is Protekk's comment from a few minutes ago:

"I can see your skepticism but I have a working device in my hands as solid evidence and a clean logcat and solid 3G and butter smooth graphics transitions"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thatguych4rlie:
Protekk has said on IRC that he has practically everything working and that he's going to release a new version tonight on rootwikiz.

His new version is giong to be based on CM9.

Our version has all buttons working, 3G, no FCs on startup, no more red outlines, and lots of other small fixes. With the release of the next version, it would be great if someone who uses GSM would test it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] illcat2000:
It won't work on cdma?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
cdma works, we aren't sure about gsm. Turning off animated transitions really speeds things up even more.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Grouper:
The graphics choppiness is due to the lack of hardware accelerated graphics (EGL). As soon as that's fixed the graphics (at least in the launcher) should be smoother than CM7. ADW Launcher has terribly choppy transitions. The CM team even talked about dropping it for CM7 and I hope they do for 7.2. Pretty positive CM9 will just be modifying the stock launcher so HOPEFULLY it will actually be an improvement over their Gingerbread releases.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlln147:

No sense in jumping on the download just yet. It's crawwwwwllllllliiiiiing.

Wow, using the beta now. It is butter smooth and no force closes except from live wallpapers. OMG, ICSgasm.

*Edit* EGL is working perfectly, and when installing GAPPS it first optimizes the apps. This is a great beta.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Camera work?

No Camera or Live Wallpaper as of right now, I'm sure it will be working in no time at the rate these guys got a beta out already.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Dang.. could someone mirror that file for ProTekk? I would .. but crawling right now just like the other post's are stating .. LoL.. I'm sure he would love a mirror or 2..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I'm gonna test out the MIUI camera if it hasn't been tried.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
No doubt.. GPS.. all of that stuff.. I'm sure it will be a snap.. just a matter of time.. well.. maybe, these guy's seem to be living and breathing ICS right now.. lol.. maybe VERY soon... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9984-rom-ice-cream-sandwich-incredible-2-401beta-1/

It's on the original post, The reason I didn't post the actual link is because it's super slow and Protekk said he is gonna add a mirror as soon as he gets home.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Yeah, no camera even with the MIUI one. :( Still some lag, but that's expected. Not going to keep it yet, but an amazing step in the right direction.

Protekk's ROM definitely doesn't have EGL 100% even if it says so. Pretty much everything is still choppy and forget games. Just thought I world let you guys know... and don't say anything about it on rootzwiki or he'll flip out.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
Yeah, it probably won't be until qualcomm updates their drivers. Everything else that we do is just a workaround.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
Am I correct in saying that the CPU is still doing a majority of rendering of the UI? Or is the GPU doing it... just having a few issues?

Let's see what phones are going to get drivers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsSMfIzztSGDdHhMaTB3U1JiQ1Q1QVVVNzhJa3lLMFE

So far it looks like no phones with Adreno 200 or 512MB RAM, and nothing under 1GHz. If someone wants to help with the list I can add you as an editor (I think). It does look like we'll have GPU drivers by early 2012; the Inc2 has an Adreno 205.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] platodd:
Is anyone else not able to download and run Facebook and Twitter?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vrgelinas:
The biggest reason for that is probably because the developers of that app have not added ICS support. IIRC when you connect to the market, it uses the software/hardware info from your phone to tell the market what is compatible. You may be able to get it to run if you manually install the .apk. I can try to upload some useful ones later when I'm not balls-to-the-wall at work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dnoyeb:
Just curious, why are you posting this on XDA?

The beta is a totally different build by Protekk over on Rootz...

In all reality, while I'm glad for everyone being all happy about the Rootz build, I don't think the guys busting their arsh over here on this XDA build (that this thread is about) really care about the issues or how the rootz one is.

just my two cents.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Why is there two versions of the rom, when you guys could/should be working together?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dnoyeb:
as far as I have heard; each one builds changes and fixes off the other, so for the time being it is very helpful to have multiple builds.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cskamoskva:
I'm more excited about the xda release of the AOSP ICS rom for the Inc2.

I tried the rootzwiki version and it's cool and all but still.

Love you guys.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] live2die:
having fun with protek's beta 1 now !
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thatguych4rlie:
Sorry 'bout that. ;)

We are adding some ICS apps and facebook/twitter to our next release.

You're right. Each build is getting some things from the other. That said, Protekk has done Inc2 users a massive favour by building his beta1 on CM9. The next XDA release will be based on this build because of it's many improvements.

We're learning from peers and improving our release: trying to add things that we and the xda users will enjoy. Full credit is given to those who have contributed.

Awww.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Kinda thought Protekk must've built off of CM9. The shutdown menu was a nice addition. I look forward to the next update. It's getting better every time :)

Thanks again to all the Devs for bringing Ics to us!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
So which of the two would be "best" to use? The XDA one?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cskamoskva:
Yet another reason why I love the Android community. Rootzwiki and XDA's ICS contributors working together just means faster improvements and better collaboration for us.

Just saying I love XDA.

If not for XDA, I'd still be running on stock without root :O

That's just a dreadful thought.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Konner920:
i've noticed the XDA builds use the SDK emulation EGL files and the ones at rootzwiki uses the actual files for the hardware. Why is that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
To be honest, I tried Protekks beta 1, it's nice, almost everything seems to be working decently, however, I really don't think it should be called a beta because camera is still broken, gallery is still broken, live wallpapers are still broken and EGL is not fully working so it's laggy. Don't get me wrong, I love all the hard work that has gone into their build as well as the build here on XDA but I really don't feel that any ICS rom should be called a Beta build until the above mentioned are actually working, I understand betas still have bugs but if certain things are outright not functioning at all that is definitely not beta quality.

Protekk is doing a great job but i really wish he would not give his followers such an attitude whenever they state their opinions.

Bottomline, from what everyone is saying EGL won't be 100% until qcom updates their drivers, with that being said, I will keep trying out these new builds of ICS on both forums but neither will be my DD. After seeing how amazing ICS runs on the samsung devices I just can't settle for a version that does not have fully functional hardware acceleration. Not to mention it is the reason why alot of things are not working.

Just my 2 cents and as said before I really appreciate all the hardwork everyone that has contributed is putting in to the Inc2 ICS rom. Thanks guys :D
