I am really impressed with the speed development is going on this AOSP ICS port!

Do the developers need any more donations?
[Galaxy S II General] jaksau:
Hmm.. I was thinking of same thing, doing by cf root. I guess i will have to wait :(
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Donations were scrapped..as there not in it for that..;)

Okay, I'll be lurking here for a bit since I've got practically nothing to do at the moment.

Flashed alpha 7, should be getting a video up in a few moment's time. :)
[Galaxy S II General] idesire:
After the software buttons have been removed, how will accessing multi-tasking work? Long press on the home button?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Not yet been decided. maybe menu button.
[Galaxy S II General] idesire:
Has anyone managed to get a hold of this guy?

[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
If you check the description of the video you can see it links back to this thread.

So that gives me the impression he is onboard.
[Galaxy S II General] idesire:
Thanks, I realized after posting.
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Tried out the call and SMS functions in alpha-7.

SMS seemed to work without any hiccups. (Hooray!)

However, there's a rather serious bug while calling. Yes, you can make a call, but you can't hang up! The other party has to hang up for the call to end. Stopping the app from the task manager didn't work in my case.

I now owe Pizza Hut an explanation...:p
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Haha very true, late last night i called up my home phone and was not able to disconnect the call more than a few people were unhappy ;) .
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Hey peeps, I'm back!

I've uploaded another video showing alpha 7:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0ZS1lk2sUg

Again, sorry about the poor quality. Don't know how to focus using my camera :p
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Thx for sharing :)

Btw what case have you got? It looks nice, mine is all glossy and sucks...
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
It's the SGP Neo Hybrid. Got it for about 40 USD. Pretty costly but its actually very nice. It also comes with a very good screen protector, so it's worth it IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Just a thought but while trying the alpha builds if you find any bugs or think of something that might help out with the progress why not post it either here or the dev thread? what you guys think
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Alright, I'll just post those that I know here.

So far, I found two problems (apart from those that we already know) on the alpha 7 build.

1) You are able to make calls, but you're unable to end them. You have to wait for the other party to hang up.

2) The drop-down notification bar seems to lag at times. (may be just my phone)

I'm not sure if the devs already know about these problems, but I thought I'd just contribute what I know. :)
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
No network .....atleast not in Sweden.......finds the networks but seems like it can't connect......
[Galaxy S II General] :
Keep them coming..Id even join on the IRC channel and point the stuff you just mentioned. Im sure they would appreciate it even if they already know about most of the issues..Better reading issues regarding the builds than rubbish if you get me

i will be honest when i tried to make a call yesterday it could not find the network...maybe cause i did not pay my phone bill though:D
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Didn't see this issue in the changelog/front post so I'll add this here:

Camera does not work as well. 'unable to connect to camera'
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
Signal was at zero too.....well i know things will get fixed and I'm in no hurry.....I'm impressed with their mad skills anyways.....wish i had some coding knowledge myself....but no no......so all i can say they are all doing great jobs on this for all of us with low or none coding skills.......

[Galaxy S II General] onejay10:
I just have to say that these coders are the best and smartest that ive ever seen here on xda, im shocked at how food they are. It takes a lot of time and hard knowledge to get where these guys are!

Youse are true coders,

Glad to see some real progress on sgs2

Big thanks lads n lasses
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
xplodwild Guillaume tweeted about this any idea what he is talking about ?

Due to MIUI *****yness about taking Cyanogen's stuff and put as their own, Teamhacksung is not going to share things with us anymore
[Galaxy S II General] onejay10:
Damn predictive txt! Lol

Www.fyouautocorrect.com
[Galaxy S II General] :
Nothing heard here mate...All honesty i do not think that would stop the guys...Im sure they will carry on anyway.....It will take them longer to sort things out due to the fact as you stated above and of course the teamhackung want to keep their source for the cm9 nightly builds..maybe till they release that then the guys can work on that source..But for the mean time i am sure they will carry on and you never know what might happen..all i know the guys have done massive progress and i hope they can keep it coming

Also follow Xplowild on twitter to get the latest..This guy is freaking awesome

https://twitter.com/#!/xplodwild

Front post is updated with his twitter for those who want to follow him
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Team-Hacksung are no longer sharing, theyve hidden things now.

Means more work for our devs to build from sorcce.

Netchip should have another build upped soon thou
[Galaxy S II General] :
True...I wonder why they not sharing though:confused: haha maybe they got scared on how rapid progress our guys made thats why..probably they thinking our build will be out sooner than theirs...:p:D just messing. its a shame but like i said above we have reached this far and its a lot more than we had this time last week:)
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
That sucks, they talk about sharing all the time and then they act like this. Shame on them
[Galaxy S II General] t0ph0id:
Shame on them for doing all the hard work and not giving it away?

It's the MIUI guys you want to be annoyed at.

They're the ones claiming it as there own.
[Galaxy S II General] L10nH34Rt:
Chill guys they will share eventually. Its just that history has showed that people would take their stuff, release pre-pre-alpha ROMs with just their stuff and call it their own. They'll share once they're done.

Smart move, imho.
[Galaxy S II General] MDaveUK:
Aha so the guys working on this build of ice cream sandwich have been using source from the cyanagenmod team? But its not our guys they are upset with, but another team working on porting ICS for our device? Whats the problem exactly? Another case of collecting donations for work they havn't done thrmselves?

Perhaps they are kind enough to share the source with our guys for our AOSP build team :)

I do prefer vanilla flavour ice cream sandwich haha!
[Galaxy S II General] Paradoxxx:
Lol, nah, it's because of MIUI's way to do things.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Ahh i see...Just been on xplowild and he said Netchip just built a package through source..Has anyone tried it yet?

and you do love my answers dont you..;)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Could not agree with you anymore...But what really bugs me is that some teams do not want to get involved and do this as a mass big project as a whole..The guys that are doing our build at the moment are great and working hard as we speaking and i am sure the project will not slow down due to latest factors but you would of thought devs would be coming together to make this work not saying oh this is my source i do my way im not going to share and this and that..its like being back at school again like little children
[Galaxy S II General] Batskoning:
One Big Team Of ICS Dev

I Fully Agree with this.. The best and fastest way to get ICS up and runnning is working as a team (all dev teams that are working separated) come together as one big team.. The main goal is ICS up and running..

When that goal is completed, every dev can mod there build of ICS with his own team and make them their owns by adding own stuff..

Sorry for bad English, but i hope u agree with this meaning..
[Galaxy S II General] :
Your english is fine and again you could not have put it any better.:) thank you my friend....At least we have some good news Netchip is on the case to so hopefully we have some good news later on today..:) Either way i know the guys are not going to let this get in the way...Specially if King Paradoxxx the porn king gets his way..:D just messing man i love ya
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
News sucks *** as last night it was mentioned in the IRC that Team Hacksung had sorted the wifi, and virtually the audio too.

Guess its back to the drawing boards...

"Open Source - Working as one...."

Oh wait.. I must still be dreaming
[Galaxy S II General] :
Have faith Danielson:D im sure they will get it working....If those guys want to be asses about it let them be....I respect everyone has an opinion and do what they think is right for their team but really should be teams coming together and not trying to see who gets their build out first..either way our guys have done great work so far so its only forward and not backwards
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
They do say without hope you have nothing, so I always hope ;)

True... But longer delays. Wont be seeing 4 Alphas today now will we lol

I respect everyone has an opinion as long as they respect that my opinion is right and theres is wrong :p
[Galaxy S II General] Batskoning:
I forgot to say that u and the other dev's are doing an amazing job, i'm a leek in programming and writing codes, the only code i can write is a html/php page haha..

-Off-Topic-

I guess 70% off all GalaxyS2 owners are running stock firmware, and not getting the max performance out of there phone.. They doesn't even know about XDA or other modem's kernel's etc.. They bought the phone because it was populair to have one and only playing Angry Birds and Wordfeud :D I want to say to that 70% buy a nokia 3310 and play snakeII..
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
I have to disagree. Your thinking of Apple. Most people who buy an android phone do so for the customization, and the fact its based on open source software.

Most people who buy an Apple phone do so because of the "brand" / or because they have some other Apple device they want to sync too.
[Galaxy S II General] L10nH34Rt:
Remember, android phones are not just the sgs2... Cheap android phones are the new nokia 3310s
[Galaxy S II General] adesirello:
Congratulations!!! you work is amazing and really good!!
[Galaxy S II General] samplespace:
Can't wait for the stable one!

Thanks for the answer. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
My point is in regards to Android phones as a whole. Even with Symbian phones, there was a massive group of people who bought them with the hope of (after using a cert and key for their IMEI) that they would get root access and could do what they wanted too.

As good as that was, problem was.. That Symbian was not open source, so whilst gaining access was easily done, getting coders to work together on making apps etc......

Then Nokia changed their new phones onto other operating platforms such as the new Symbian ^3/^5 which was open source, as well as Android like you say.

So whilst now more and more companies are choosing to go with Open Source software, my point is.. Majority of users who have phones like the S2, do so to be able to mod to their hearts content.

Edit: Quick question, Can anyone recommend some software to decompile and recompile ROMs?

Edit2: It was a quick question... Till everyone left lol
[Galaxy S II General] :
depending on what system your pc is on i use apkmanager...for windows that is...there is a little search button on the top right;) just messing man apk manager or tommytomato something like that...
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I totally understand team hacksungs move to close there source, i used to be a big MIUI fan until i noticed what was going on..

Not to name any people..

After using MIUI since the SGS I, i look back at most fixes for the issues at hand and most were fixed by team hacksung and other "devs" would implement and say on there changelogs "we have managed to fix "X" issue"

And release as there own..not cool.

Same goes on the SGS II, im seeing codeworkx and atinm fixing things here and there and certain devs implementing and saying "we made the fix" as if it was theres..

To me its very anoying to see peoples work get used like that, cant even imagen how team hacksung feels..

No disrespect to any devs but its just the reality of things.

Rant against MIUI done.

Sorry for cluttering the thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
I have that but my understanding is, is that it decompiles singular APKs? Not a complete ROM?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some people in the IRC need to get off their high horse. If you spent less time ******** things would move at a faster rate. Unimpressed by the attitude from some people. Should look up the terms "community" "open source" and "working together"
[Galaxy S II General] :
Nope rant as much as you like hence why this thread is here for.:) and i totally agree with you..but i left my post on the other thread in what the teams should do now its down to them....if they need anything they know were we are.:)

@silver singular apks that i have used it for mate

EDIT: IRC new link is up. People only please go on there if you have something useful to say..All other NON related DEV issues please keep them here...The devs do not need useless chit chat and posts there..Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I was on IRC yesterday and it was a mess, people just asking dumb questions that are allready answerd here.

Hope the new IRC stays clean;)
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Open-source! That is all.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
You tried decompiling any apks from ICS? Cant seem to decompile camera.apk, even with using /system/framework/framework-res.apk :confused:

Oh well, will get there in the end :)

[Galaxy S II General] fpar:
Does anyone know of the ics web browser is gpu accelerated to the same extent as that on the s2? It would suck to have to wait till january for the official update... Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
It surely not is HW accelereated at the moment as there's no GPU driver, but when it will be ready you can use Opera for HW acceleration
[Galaxy S II General] :
yes yes yes ****ing yes...(sorry about my language) but codeworkx name is in the IRC channel..hopefully both teams can work together now....Not making any assumptions or saying anything here but for him and AdamG to be there to can only mean good things right?:D Hope they can keep me up to date and edit first post....and i promise to screamworks i will be using his idea to keep it more neat now
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Yeah I feel the same, but serously..

Has anyone ran into random reboots?

I flashed last night to mess around, turned on show processes in dev settings and started getting a bunch of reboots, funny thing is I noticed it was the radio causing the reboot.

Phone was running for 20mins and started rebooting..

I'm just asuming it was the radio cause didn't see anything in the running processes..

What I did see was the signal was completly drop off then as soon as id get 1 bar of signal back..reboot.

I know its not yet ready but just some imput.

Thanks again great devs!;)

Just a thought and this is my idea..Would it not been better if the dev team had an IRC channel strictly for just the devs without having every Tom **** and Harry joining in? All i been reading so far other than from the devs is utter rubbish

Good idea about the IRC channel strictly for devs, but posting the link to the channel will undoubtedly attract trolls and newbs almost immediately.

So maybe it should be secretly sent out to devs by PM. :D
