Can i flash this from stock Gingerbread or do i have to go back to Froyo first?

Thanks
[Fascinate General] havoksupertwit:
I found it easier to add clockwork onto froyo than gingerbread... but I don't think it so much matters so long s you have a good way to get clockwork on.

RC1 works great...keep working for it...seriously is faster than running MIUI for gingerbread....

Anybody else on Telus or another network that is experiencing my issue of your network not showing up correctly on your lockscreen, just to make sure it isn't just me?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Yes this is a known issue. I am working on it :)
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Sweet! aha. I've tracked it down though I think, it has to do with an exi.xml I believe in the framework-res.apk! Pretty much tried everything except changing that.
[Fascinate General] procco13:
MIUI faster?

Hi bucknetbucky.

What did you think of teamhacksung's ICS?

I've tried I9000 ICS RC1 and teamhacksung's but both seem slower and more laggy than MIUI with the Glitch kernel on my 959D (MIUI 1.11.25). Maybe I'm doing something wrong but followed the instructions in the OP for both and it just seems to run slower. I'm not talking about quadrant scores but real tasks like opening gmail messages.

Just curious if you or anyone else had similar experience with ICS on this phone. Hopefully this question isn't too off-topic. :o
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
I have had no issues with performance and IMO it has been just as fast with the exception of a little lag with the launcher.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Off topic but Merry Christmas guys :)

Dead Mascot: Triangle Exclamation Point, Android Mascot

I've been trying to install ICS today, with varying levels of success.

One point I managed to install it but with no baseband. Since I couldn't get a data connection, I decided to try and install it again.

Now when I try to install, CWM restarts before the installation completes and then gets stuck into a bootloop.

It'll continually attempt to install, right before it restarts, I see the android mascot laying horizontally with a triangle and exclamation mark on its torso.

At this point I decided to see if I can install CM7, same problem, bootloop

Anyone have any advice?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
You must wipe data factory reset before you flash. What did you flash from? And did you make sure to get the i9000 ROM and not the i9000B.
[Fascinate General] akumasakana:
I followed the steps; cleared cache, dalvik cache, factory reset. I had it running once already. Trying it subsequent times, I've been getting this problem.

I used the ICS_4.0.3_r1-RC1-i9000-reupload.zip file, I'm assuming this is the right one.

Went back to Darky's 10.2.2, that installed no problem.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Well it should should work of you need help I can help through chat. Done it before lol
[Fascinate General] akumasakana:
Cool, I appreciate it.

Do you know by chance what the dead android mascot signifies?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
I believe that is an error in the flash but most times you can get by it by flashing again.r

Up and Running

Well, it took a few flashes to get wireless, the ROM, and superuser all working - but as of now I have ICS RC1 up and running (and my phone thinks its a T959D again :) ) Thanks to Buck for making some time this morning as I went through some initial weirdness on my first few attempts (but did it even without a jig today ;) )

All good - does anyone have any customization tips, or any additional flashes (modems) you would recommend for this?

Going to give it a few days to see if its something I want as my day-to-day phone and go from there.
[Fascinate General] Canadian DJ:
What steps did you take to get ics to work?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
No prob CDJ - and again props to Buck for all the help here. There's several of us with steps in here at this point, but I'll let you know what worked for me.

1. Go back to Stock, and put on voodoo (Follow Steps 1, 2, 4 of this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923712)

You now have stock telus + voodoo (and root as well).

2. Download the ICS files you will need (http://ics.samsung-updates.com/ICSI9000/) which is the ICS ROM and the super user fix. Also, Buck found there is a new glitch kernel for ICS that should be tried (and I'm using that) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041532

3. Put those files on your SD (you may want to do this as step 1 - if you are here and doing it - remember in stock you need to go into networks and find USB and set to 'mass storage' - then move the files over.

4. Get into recovery mode (both volumes + power will do the trick)

5. Complete wipe - factory / data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe batt stats.

6. Flash the ROM

Here I ran into a boot loop. 3 button into recovery again, repeat Step 5, then Step 6. Keep doing this until you install the ROM and can boot into it. The first boot takes a while, so be patient - if you are still watching the animation after 10 minutes, boot back into recovery and repeat 5 and 6 again :)

Once you get into ICS - give it a whirl. I would at least try to do something with super user to see if it works but generally next you should:

7. Boot back into recovery (reboot in ICS has a reboot into recovery option - two clicks).

8. Flash the super user fix, reboot the phone.

9. Reboot into recovery.

10. Flash the super cool glitch ver 14 ICS kernel, reboot the phone.

I ended up doing steps 5 through 10 a few times, but I'm in perfect working order at this point.

I want to give it a few days - I'm missing MIUI a bit (best lockscreens ever!), and the number telco ID bothers me (the 302###) but all in all, its fast and smooth - and nice to be on something shiny (cannot WAIT to see this on my tablet when it is released).

Again, thanks to EVERYONE who shares their experiences here but a HUGE thanks to BUCK who paved the way.

Any questions, let me know - always willing to help. Oh, I also flashed the MIUI/CM7 KC1 modem which appears to be working fine on ICS.
[Fascinate General] moosehead11:
Does it matter which stock you start from? I am on Gingerbread now do i need to back to froyo?
[Fascinate General] Canadian DJ:
Thats what i was wondering... There has to be a simpler way to get ICS.

I went from Froyo. Can't speak to GB but I wouldn't gamble on it as those bootloader cause issues.

I went from Froyo to GB with bootloaders and all, and i never ran into problems.

Edit: That was just me... if you mess up your phone i can't really help you fix it.. sorry
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
I am not going to say you can not go from gingerbread but I will say there are lots that had issues using that as a start point sooooo I always recommend starting from group and if possible format the internal SF card to make sure there is no junk left over from previous ROMs. You could always try and see how it goes and if all is well let us know. We like new things lol.

Got it to work somehow tonight.

- I removed the external SD card and wiped the battery stats this time.

I'm not sure what else I did for the install to work properly.

[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
For any of you guys that use up your 1GB of data every month, here's a tip for ya, and it worked for me ;)

Telus has a promotion on till the 31st for all new customers to get up to 6GB of data. So I called them this morning on their 1-800 number (sorry don't have it in front of me) and explained to them that I'm having trouble keeping within my data limits and if there was any way to get the new offer without recommitting to another contract. The guy on the other end put me on hold for a couple of mins, came back and gave me the upgrade, only costs me $15 extra, as opposed to $20 if I go over the 1GB limit. Hope it works for you guys! :D

[TELUS] [T959D] [ICS R1] Observations after a day

Hi folks,

So been a whole day on ICS - been using the ROM and slowly adding in my most used applications. A few observations from use (that is using it, not installing it):

The good:

- Love the general look and feel of the ROM. The icons are tight and I switched to small fonts.

- The launcher isn't the best I've seen, but behave nicely.

- The app drawer is very sweet with integrated widgets and market. The transition is very nice.

- Being able to 'swipe away' individual notifications is great.

- Love the phone interface (very easy to use).

- UI for gmail and email is AWESOME.

- Battery life seems about on par with MIUI from my experience (gut feel, no math).

- The BLN was annoying me, but then realized 'light notifications' could be shut off from the settings > display.

The 'could be better' (some may be just learning curve for me)

- Camera - works, but no zoom functionality (looked, but maybe not seeing it - even froyo had this).

- lockscreen - better but not as good as Darky's or MIUI

- Google maps - kept asking me to sign in, but wouldn't accept my valid credentials - not sure why it needed me to sign in though.

- Lockscreen sometimes sticks - usually just shutting the screen on/off clears it.

- carrier name - be nice if it was 'telus' or whatever carrier you may have :)

- some apps seem to stall (you get the force close or wait prompt)

- some lag with the launcher and going to the app drawer - when that happens the animations are awkward.

- phone doesn't 'remember' numbers - be nice if it did.

- long pressing home brings up the recent list (very honeycombish in its display) but the lag on that is VERY noticable.

- wireless doesn't appear to have the same reach as MIUI.

All in all, I really love the look and the feel. I use stock honeycomb on my tablet and I CANNOT WAIT to get ICS on that (have to wait for stock - I lost my root access on my tablet with the last OTA update I foolishly did).

As for my phone, going to give it another day, but feeling like I will likely go back to MIUI in the short term - and either move back to ICS later, or wait for CM9 or MIUI with Android 4.0. The main reason being some features I miss (the phone, camera zoom) and just general stability.

On a final note, there was a time when I didn't realize there was so many galaxy s's and I lamented buying this phone as there was not a lot of ROMs for it (being so Telus specific - kinda like a vibrant, kinda like an i9000 - but neither of those at the same time). Now I think its the best - with a jig near impossible to brick and so many options - and after a while this - our - community has come together with a few folks that will try anything, and then everyone reporting back things they have tried and their experiences. We have a great little virtual team here that is very supportive and helpful - I thank you all.

As always, feel free to hit me up with any questions - might try MIUI 12/30 tomorrow once it is released, but still want to give ICS a bit more of a kick before I reflash again (and thank good for Titanium Backup!).

Cheers!

[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Hah funny! Anyways just updated to RC2.1, dont have any real time playing with it, but i do notice that it is a little more laggy than RC1, especially when opening the app drawer and closing it. So for those that want to upgrade, I:

1-put the RC2 file for I9000 on the internal sd

2-downloaded the RC1 original kernal along with the second kernal (voodoo color; actually has both color and sound)

3-rebooted into recovery, factory reset, wipe cache/dalvic

4-install RC2.1 through recovery, then i immediately installed the original kernal for RC1

5-let it boot, if it doesn't just pull battery, get into recovery and repeat steps 3 and 4 until it does.

6-once it boots, rebooted back into recovery and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvic once again

7-install the second kernal (voodoo) then reboot

8-let it boot and you should be running RC2.1 w/ voodoo color and sound!

9-install voodoo control from the market

I also used this thread to "tweak" the colors on the screen..... looks absolutely stunning!! :D

Error while searching for network... :mad: arrrrrrggggg i just want this to work
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
There is a chance that you might need to flash back to stock unless you have a backup of efs or if you are using glitch kernel try to flash to the fugu kernel to get wifi working and maybe flash another modem. Not to be negative but the last time this happened it required a flash to stock.

Can you give more info as to what you were running and what you did to flash?

Try to flash the fugu mod kernel if you can this has worked for some. If not go back to stock and try again, something went wrong somewhere.

I can assure you that the tutorial and files in my post are good and have worked for more then just myself (there are a few here that can vouch for me :))

USB fix

Try this (taken from http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/)

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

** do not disconnect PHONE from USB at any point / 1) connect PHONE and let it try to install drivers * do not interrupt that process / 2) go to Device Manager and delete at this order: * check the option to uninstall files also -SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface -SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device -SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device / 3) uninstall SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones from applications / 4) reboot PC and watch it try to install drivers after * do not interrupt that process (should install one fast and fail on two others after a minute or two) / 5) install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe and let it try to install drivers ( should install one more driver, yet one will fail after minute or two) / 6) download/install Terminal app from Market, open it and type: - su (grant superuser permission)

- setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb / 7) now reboot your PHONE / last driver should be installed after a while

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

Hopefully this will work for you. In Linux all I needed to do was run the setprop command and it worked after a reboot.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Do a search in the rom thread, there is a terminal command that will get it working. I will post it here when I get on a computer unless someone has it handy.

I had to go back to stock for now. I couldn't find GTA 3 on the market and I had a weird SIM card issue where it worked fine for an hour and all of a sudden it gave me some sort of SIM error and forced me to reboot.

[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Have you tried the terminal commands from the main thread for the ROM? if not you can boot to recovery and connect the phone then under "Mounts and storage" select "mount USB storage". That will get you connected as long as you have installed the drivers (included with kies)

Terminal commands that I take no credit for as they were posted by another in the main thread ...

use commands via

a. SGS:

- open Terminal Emulator.

- type su

- type setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

- type reboot

Terminal emulator available in the market.
