It was included.

I have another strange behaviour, after being connected to wireless networks for a while, it sometimes won't change back to mobile data after losing the connection, so i have to activate Airplane mode or 2g/3g toggle. This does not happen always, and I couldn't yet figure out when it occurs.

Hboot = Cm7r2

Version = Beta 0.4.2.1

Full wipe before? = No

A2SD-script = Amarullz
[Desire Android Development] Grey Goshawk:
Hey everyone I'm sorry if this has been asked many times before. What's the performance of ICS compared to Gingerbread? Does the hardware acceleration provide any smoothness benefit or is the phone still slightly laggy like in CM7?

Thanks =)
[Desire Android Development] kuyam:
much smoother then gb.
[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
Hi, will the kernel used ever support overclocking to 1.19ghz please, as my desire was perfectly stable at that clock speed on GB? :)
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
actually 245-1113Mhz/ondemand but to my point of view no need to OC, it s smooth like this at 998 and battery really friendly
[Desire Android Development] weirdsciencex:
Works fine with cm7r2

I use it on a daily basis and don't have any problems but all depends what you use it for.

If you an avid gamer or photographer then you may be better waiting for a final release.

If like myself you play the occasional game or take the occasional photo then it's fine. Calls, sms etc all work as expected. Maps is a bit buggy. But I still find it good enough for daily use.

I think there's a choice of 4 launchers if I remember correctly. Your best bet is to install the stock launcher then if you like you can install an alternative from the market. Nova and Apex being two of the most popular.
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Its not a magical change.

There are some trade offs of hwa, but browser is very smooth
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
works fast with cm7r2, since all the data is internally rather than on sd card :D

I personally use Nova , it lightweight,fast etc etc..

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

na..not much smoother than GB, but still runs like roadrunner even in Beta stage!!

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Y do u need a2sd script? if using CM7r2 hboot!!

mostly running apps from sd affects the performance as such..:rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
The rom is ~200mb when installed. Obviously this won't work automatically with CM7R2 hboot, but the installer script can detect this and will split alot of the included apps into /data. So... you still don't end up with that much space. We are aware of the performance - but if you want to install more than 5 or 10 apps then this is your only choice (or buy a new phone).

At least 512mb EXT is recommended, and most will say to put dalvik on EXT as well as ICS uses more space on /data than gingerbread ever did (regardless of hboot).

[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Hey guys, I just made a backup of ics on my phone and reverted back to cm7 backup on my phone. After that I wanted to restore from the ics backup and now I'm stuck on bootscreen. Any solutions guys?

EDIT: If I really can't restore from that backup anymore, is there any way I can restore my messages from that backup? I'm using 4ext recovery and it doesnt seem to work with titanium backup. Sighs
[Desire Android Development] 6chrisp:
Whenever I've restored an ICS backup it's never worked properly (although it's never stuck at bootscreen like in your case). What worked for me was using the advanced restore feature in CWM Recovery, and restoring each listed part individually until everything I needed was present/working. Hope this helps.
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
I've never had a problem restoring from a backup but I do delete the cache, dalvik and do a complete wipe/factory reset before I restore the backup.
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
are u on stock hboot?
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
Can't tell at the mo. I went back to Oxygen (2.3.7) because I wanted to see if the battery life was the same (poor) and there's not much difference. I might switch back again because it was stable, just the minor niggles.

On Oxygen it's Revolutionary HBOOT-6.93.1002 if that's any help.
[Desire Android Development] Han-Droid:
Hi, try AppExtractor from Market - it's free and I just restored SMS from a nandroidbackup. Very easy.
[Desire Android Development] sterankin:
Is there a problem with the Gallery?

I took a screenshot to test this functionality. (Should it still make the camera noise in Silent mode?)

I then went into gallery and now there was only one folder called "screenshots" available to view. All the folders which were previously available in gallery (on my SD card) were no longer there for browsing.

There doesn't seem to be a way to get them back and there are no settings for gallery? (The settings screen is blank).

Refreshing the gallery does not work either.

I can browse the SD card ok with Astro and can confirm that the folders are there.

I should note this was working fine before I took the screenshot.

A reboot *slowly* corrected this as it seemed to go through and add each photo into its folder individually.

I can't seem to replicate this now though :(

ALSO: Has anyone problems sending emails? I tried to email the screenshot I took to my work email address from my phone. I tried using the Hotmail app for my hotmail account AND the Gmail app also. Neither email has sent. In the gmail outbox, the email is still listed as "Sending". I have never had any issues before with emails on my previous ROM. I am using Data (not wifi) and have full bars.

I just sent an email without an attachment in gmail and this sent immediately without any issues. Why is the attachment the issue? (the photo isnt very big ~200k). Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.4.2.1

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = Dalvik A2SD
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Hey its not working for me... probably because I'm using 4ext recovery which doesn't work with titanium backup as well

It shows a blank screen on my SMS app after restoring. Tried rebooting.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Restore your old rom, use myback up root for your sms and others that u may want, then come back to ics and restore (again using mybackup root)..
[Desire Android Development] pix106:
and then start using smsbackup+ or any other sms to gmail app, and forget about losing a sms again

Great rom, no more blackdeath using miui-au kernel :-)
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Hey the problem is, the "old" rom we are talking about here is this ics rom tat for some reason cannot be restored from backup... gets stuck on bootscree
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
I must have missed something: are there problems with 4ext and titanium working together on this ROM?

I only recently noticed that when I select my apps in market/play, it only shows part of my installed apps. For ex. no angry birds but when I search angry birds in market, it shows them correctly as already installed.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Definitely not - i use 4EXT and titanium for all my backup stuff without issue. This includes the occasional rom switch and flicking between versions of ICS for testing.

M.
[Desire Android Development] bliblablub:
After having had about 5 blackscreens I did not experience any for the last 10 days :)
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
^ I notice if I use this option everything is running great

but if I reboot the phone it gets stuck on the bootup/start animation everytime

my ext partition is 2gb, im on a 16gb class 4 sandisk (although going to be changing to class10 integral 32gb in a minute) and am running stock Hboot :D

for the moment have flashed back to the 'apps and dalvik to sd' option

but internal storage is limited 148 Mb

excellent work tho have donated some beer funds :D

eagerly anticipating the update :cool:
[Desire Android Development] curl66:
for a friend of mine i flashed her this rom on her desire, put 768 MB partition on 8gb class 6 SD. Unfortunately i am not sure which option to choose for moving apps to ext. I tryed amarulz a2sdext and a2sd but seems that after i installed all angrybirds,opera, chrome and some stuff from market " low space on device" message appear. as i understand this is a problem with /datadata since anrgybirds stores a lot of stuff there.

what does the professionals here at XDA recommend for best usage ? speed is not so important.

how she can use more than 20 apps including all anrgybirds ?

thanks a lot!

Sandvold heres a new build:

build pulled

same as p12 for passion

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23546946&postcount=2713

rebuild.

http://goo-inside.me/devs/evervolv/20120312-2/Evervolv-Turba-2.1.0p10-bravo.zip
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Gonna fix up the build up as soon as I can, but I'm on a my way out the door at the moment. You can expect it to be finished around 12.00GMT at the latest;)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Torrent as always? (:
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Hey mattman, for some reason, I can't make a backup of my ics from to switch between roms, do u have any idea why?

And when I use titanium backup to "extract from nandroid backup" it says no data could be found, for both my cm7 and ics backup. So I suppose 4ext's backup format is incompatible with titanium backup?

I have also tried appextractor to restore my SMS from the ics backup zip but all my messages were deleted instead after restoring.

I really need my SMSes from that backup, and I also need a reliable nandroid backup. Damn it.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I haven't tried pulling nandroid data via titanium before to be honest, so can't comment on that.

If you're having trouble with 4EXT then clear all app data and delete the 4EXT folder on your SD card. It may be some kind of bad setting in there...

M.
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Would that cause me to lose my backups?
[Desire Android Development] Anon87:
There's app called nandroid browser on the forum somewhere. I dunno if that's any help.

[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Any news on new 4.0.4 ICS ?
[Desire Android Development] Fritte_SWE:
Make sure you have rebooted the phone once. Usually takes that for me for the script to start kickin in.

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

As someone just mentioned. Try Nandroid Browser and see how it works:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449414

Its available on the market also named Nandroid browser.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
No it won't. 4EXT folder is just config files for the app and recovery. Actual backups are stll stored in the ClockWorkMod folder on your card.

I think 4.0.4 only has bugfixes specifically for the CDMA Galaxy Nexus. You have to remember that 4.0.x releases are effectively bugfixes for specific nexus phones - not bugfixes that apply to all phones using the OS.

[Desire Android Development] kl1k:
Installed the latest version on my phone - looks very impressive, however had to roll back as I use google authenticator which you setup by using the barcode scanned. Since the camera doesnt work I couldnt setup 2 factor auth and get into my mail.

I'll watch this build very closely - can't wait for the cam to start working.
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Hey guys, I already tried using nandroid browser, but I don't really understand how to use it. I selected, for example desirebeta.zip and then chose data.img but it just showed a loading screen for a long time.. do I have to wait very long?

EDIT: I tried again. After finished loading, it went back to the backup directory like nothing happened.

But it works for my cm7 backup

Could it be a corrupted backup?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Have you tried the rapmv32 cam libs, should work on barcode even though preview doesn't work (look at n1 thread)

Btw release of new version should be in about 1-2h
[Desire Android Development] Salfalot:
What will be the differences between the one from texasice, link in page before this one, and yours? Minor fixes or addons or just the aroma installer?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
It's pretty much the same, but there is usually some stuff not working in texasice build. Without us really knowing why. And ofc aroma is added. Not much tweaking involved. It's basically getting everything to work and adding the fixes I've already done.

If you don't notice any issues with texacises build then great:) But lots of ppl are having issues so the releases aren't really "offical" until I've fixed em up. At one point it hopefully won't be neccissary
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I would bet on corrupted backup
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Release will be delayed a few hours (around 14.00 GMT) can't upload without beeing at the hotel. So will have to wait until I go to sleep tonight
[Desire Android Development] wazer1337:
Is it me or am i just ****ing stupid...

Where the hell has wifi connect gone in ics?, been looking for an hour now.
[Desire Android Development] doom_71:
Settings-Wifi :confused:
[Desire Android Development] wazer1337:
Oh no they did not make a multi button " enable/disable & launching "

Why change something that wasnt needed, oh my god.

I had to google it before i found this link !

http://androidcommunity.com/android-4-0-ics-tip-connecting-to-wifi-20111117/
[Desire Android Development] doom_71:
Using Wifi manager by Kostya Vasilyev makes it much easier to connect and switch between wifi networks.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Will start uploading torrent around 14.00GMT, everything seems great so far.

Even stock launcher is a lot more responssive.

*edit ran into wifi problems, trying to sort them out
[Desire Android Development] wazer1337:
Yeah i was in this version of ics for 5-10 minutes, was way to much laggy for me even with 1113mhz and launcher pro, im back on oxygen until it is stable :P,

Thanks for the try sandvold, ill perhaps check back later ;).
[Desire Android Development] kikumbob:
Actually, you can set up Google Authenticator by typing in a code instead of using the barcode scanner. I've been using authenticator on this ROM just fine! When the setup page on your account asks you to scan the barcode just click "I don't have a phone that can scan barcodes" and it will give you a load of numbers to type in instead :)

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

What do you mean by this? Will there eventually be just one universal build for both desire and N1 that works fine on both hardware configurations?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
No that the build works perfect after drewis build it so it's no point in me fixing it up:)
[Desire Android Development] ABATAPA:
Is there a modified SMS application without transforming long SMS (up to 5 standard) in the MMS?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Download from mattmans site (he's posting all the time, take a look on his signature) if not it's mentioned on my changelog on the website
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
Thanks Sandvold, cannot wait to test the new build!

Is full wipe required/recommended?
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
I have read its not changed but just to confirm,still no camera preview?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Going out to eat now. Will upload when I get back

Full wipe will be needed this time. (I had issues when I tried without)

Everything seems smooth and stable so far.
[Desire Android Development] sterankin:
OK I just installed this the other day and have set it up, but if I do a full wipe then I will lose everything and have to start again?

Whats the recommended way to backup and restore apps, sms, settings etc?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:
Yes all aps sms but u can backup
[Desire Android Development] sterankin:
Thanks - but what apps are you using for this. Is there one app that can do all? Some people have stated titanium doesnt work.

Can you use the backup option in the ICS "settings"?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] denial86:
Mybackup pro works fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks sandvold, tis is in my signature... :)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
So sad, so sad, it's so sad-sad sutiation (:

BTW, when I tried to use this rom on cm7r2, it was installed without any keyboard - it that ok? I mean V4.0.2
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Okey now torrent is up. As usual it will be really slow in the start. No good upload in the whole of asia:P

No sponsored links or high speed mirror yet. As soon as someone with access and good speed got the file they will upload it to high speed mirror.

Please click a link when you visit the website, 0,24% click through ratio is quite crap:P Only way to sponsor me at the moment
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
Here's the correct link: http://www.sandvold.as/Beta_0.4.3.zip.torrent

Thank you Sandvold :)
[Desire Android Development] Salfalot:
I think this could be because some browsers simple don't show any adds.. I use firefox and most of the adds I don't get to see.. I now opened your website in internet explorer and simple pressed a lot of adds ;-)

Thanks for the great ROM. I'm patiently waiting until I will use this ROM as a daily driver, I sadly need the camera preview to much! Thanks again for the great work Sandvold :-D
[Desire Android Development] ikdedinges:
is your site down sandvold?

wanted to update but cant reach the site
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Works fine here
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
Seems faster than the other day. 24 % so far :)
[Desire Android Development] kikumbob:
I don't think the link in Sandvold's post works. He probably meant to post this http://www.sandvold.as/Beta_0.4.3.zip.torrent
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
New hotel;)
[Desire Android Development] Smithyster:
28.5% and counting.

Slow going with no seeds! :p
[Desire Android Development] SoWhy:
40+ seeds and counting, nice job everyone :-)

Please update the first post and/or sandvold.as with the torrent-link, I had to search it in this thread
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I'm seeding, stop saying no seeds like last time. Was hysteria for some hours:P

It will say no seeds from time to time because I guess I get maxed out.

The internet I'm on is slow, but quite stable.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Or just navigate to downloads on the webpage as it always have been:P
[Desire Android Development] kkarnaout:
thanks a lot @sandvold the torrent is working better than the one b4 speed is70Kb/s will take me 25 min to download but its fine as long as its an update worth the wait!!!

thanks to u guys and all who are behind u plus ill help seeding ;)

edit : speed is getting to 200kb\s amazing and seeding it all way ;D

edit2: stuck at 35%
[Desire Android Development] kuyam:
sandvold site is updated for me.
[Desire Android Development] junjihoon:
I'm seeding, how about this rom on cm7r2?
[Desire Android Development] Smithyster:
Haha sorry. I don't torrent much at all so just said it as I saw it!

Looking forward to giving the new version a go tho!
[Desire Android Development] Smask:
And they all sits on the same hotel LAN as Sandvold :p

33.6% and 12seeds here...
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Can we update with just wipe cache and dalvik? I read op but nothing there.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:
NO full wipe.........
[Desire Android Development] mhulsegge:
As said by Sandvold before, full wipe required this time
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Ok thanks guys
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Ye full wipe is needed. Will add it to the first post as well. Thx for pointing it out
[Desire Android Development] thesavagedonkey:
Hi sandvold great work. Torrenting now on my other pc and will seed for as long as possible. Once download is complete am I ok to upload to mediafire for other benefit?

Cheers once again for a great rom :D
[Desire Android Development] c4p3fi3rr:
I read that this works with all hboots, but is there some difference in performance using some hboots over others? We need at least a seed on the torrent, it's stuck on 37%.
[Desire Android Development] thesavagedonkey:
Everyone needs to realise that the torrent wont completely take of in speed until some people have the full file. At the moment sandvold is the only one with a full copy and the torrent is limited by his upload speed. Once the full file has been fully downloaded by a few people and they seed we will see speeds pick up.
[Desire Android Development] junjihoon:
same question! someone can seed please?
[Desire Android Development] kkarnaout:
just read the post above u we are all waiting and what @thesavagedonkey said answers ur question
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Don't really see the point as it will be added to the high speed mirror anyway as soon as it's distributed. They should be able to cope with all the demand easily.

But if you feel it's needed and the high speed mirrors doesn't work, then no problem:) As long as ppl get it then I''m happy, I just don't want to have the post spammed with loads of mirrors. Gets annoying for me to read through those posts when I really should look for the posts reporting bugs.

So if possible it's best just having the "offical" release channels so the thread doesn't get clogged.
[Desire Android Development] c4p3fi3rr:
What about the hboots? Has anyone tested the performance with different hboots?
[Desire Android Development] kkarnaout:
still most of us at 39 or 40 % of the download

and after all the best i have tried is stock hboot

ps: @Sandvold im clicking the **** out of ur web sites adds coz no paypal in lebanon :P
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Don't overdue it in one go:P It's nice to click on links, really appricate it. But it wouldn't be that good if google took it as spam:P

One click today and one tomorrow. Then it won't cause any problems:P But thx alot! :)
[Desire Android Development] SoWhy:
I did but apparently the page was cached to the old version. I had to force-remove my cache to refresh it
[Desire Android Development] kkarnaout:
man ur welcome i will do so as much as i can since its the least i can give :D for the great u gave us with ur team behind u !!!
[Desire Android Development] mhulsegge:
Lol. After 3 or 4 pages regarding speed and download % of the torrent :)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Doesnt mather now. Since no one can report any bugs since it's not out:P It's when it's out bugs start to come in or other reports. And then I got to read all the important posts. And it's a real hassle going through 3-4 pages of nothing when I'm busy, but trying to catch up on what I have to fix:)

I hope you see the point/difference from this waiting game and what happens after ppl start installing
[Desire Android Development] an430:
Still wait for the High speed mirror~~ Nice work Sand!
[Desire Android Development] Nakebod:
Guess this torrent will reach a high ratio.

51% downloaded, and already a ratio of 2.68, and raising :D

Will seed for a few days, minimum.
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
download speed is falling now. at 50%. time to go to bed. See ya tml, 0.4.3
[Desire Android Development] Mike130784:
ill seed for long while.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I got to go to bed.Torrent will stay on seeding so shouldn't be to long until it's done. Hopefully everything should work (as it never does:P) at least it's been bug free for me so far.

Cya tomorrow
[Desire Android Development] mhulsegge:
Sure, I just had to say it;), if it wasn't someone else would, so couldn't let this opportunity pass by:)

Serious though, this rom rocks!

Can you tell if amarulls script is stable? Just bought a new 32gb bad-ass sd, class 6,and don't want my phone wining about space.
