Since the future of ICS on the incredible seems slightly uncertain, and also just cause I've never tried Samsung's smartphones, I picked up a used Fascinate on Ebay. Since there are similarities between the Fascinate and Nexus (and other phones that should officially receive 4.0), the ICS builds should be much more functional, hell the GPU in the fassy is the same as the nexus, just at a lower clock speed. Not to mention that the Nexus S and Galaxy S are very similar, and with the Nexus S already receiving official ICS, things are looking pretty good.

Going from AOSP on the Incredible to AOSP on the Fascinate, I never really understood how much more fluid and smooth the same rom could be. The Fassy also has a 4" SAMOLED which is an upgrade in and of itself. There are other things I'm enjoying too, but that's not really for this thread..

I'm sorry, as this post is OT, but I just wanted to throw this out there as an option for those that are wanting to be able to get right into *very* functional ICS roms, but may not have the option of upgrading to the Nexus quite yet.

For alpha build 8..... Use the Superuser binary file flashed from this thread. I http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20443221
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Reading the fascinate general thread, the have working cam on ics. Wonder if it would help us?
[Droid Incredible General] badogg:
Does that Fascinate and the GN have the same hardware for the Cam? Might be because they are similar enough where they could just tweak the GN driver to work with the Fassy??
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Id bet your right, but i was wondering how close it was to ours.

Any suggestions for a free working music player that will read from sd? I saw someone mention power amp but that's a 15 day trial and I don't wanna buy anything yet as I'm only tinkering with this rom til it's ready for prime time.
[Droid Incredible General] xenevo:
I can confirm Power amp does work reading the sdcard but however cost 5.00us, imo it is worth it regardless because it is one of the best players out there.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
+1. It is the player for Android IMO.
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
Also does-

Neutron Player - Best IMO, its hefty and comes with alot of nice features I find better then PowerAmp

- Zplayer, goes on and off but it works

- UberMusic, essentially ZPlayer but better
[Droid Incredible General] Ongoy:
I wanna say thanks to all the devs for making it happen. ICS is amazing. I don't want to go back to GB. xD
[Droid Incredible General] Hag77:
Stock music player is working in alpha 1 but thanks to all of ya for the suggestions. Should I be seeing music controls on the lock screen? I'm not, and can't find any way to enable it in the settings.
[Droid Incredible General] renzo.olivares:
kernel devs should try porting the new kgsl interface provided by htc flyer honeycomb source code which will give us hw acceleration in kernel but still leaves us with the issue with our adreno 200 binaries not being compatible with ics
[Droid Incredible General] Hag77:
Update- Google music app from market gives you lockscreen controls. The stock "music" app does not. Apologies if this is already well known.
[Droid Incredible General] bigragu84:
Has anyone downloaded the new Adobe Flash Player 11 update for ICS and have it not work? I did the update and I am still unable to view any flash videos/games.

I'm currently running evervolv-Dives-2.1.0p1 from @preludedrew. Great rom very stable as like all ICS roms for the INC camera does not work but other than that its been working well.
[Droid Incredible General] autre_pensee:
I am running deck alpha4 and was running alpha1 for 4 days before that.

Alpha 1

No complaints. Great rom for this dev stage!

Only unstable part was the app drawer which FC 30-40% of the time.

Not working that I noticed:

- Data usage monitor

- App drawer FC often

- Camera (as stated in he bug list for alpha1)

- Calendar worked without the calendar fix but the calendar WIDGET did not display my full day events.

Other comments:

- Battery life seemed a bit lower than CM7 but not terrible

- Scrolling seemed a bit choppy.

- Flashing process was extremely smooth.

Just wipe memory, cash, sd card etc and install rom and gapps in that order from zip on sdcard then reboot.

It was insanely easy. The whole thing took me 15-20 min including rom download from the thread.

- Gallery would not work until a few reboots.

Alpha 4

I flashed it yesterday from zip without doing a wipe in between.

The trebuchet drawer seems to FC similarly to what was on Alpha1

Camera works

Gallery would not work until Adding a gallery widget on the screen and doing a couple of reboots. Gallery still FC often.

As stated, video and panorama still do not work.

The homescreen seems to redraw itself quite often.

Other comments:I am not sure than flashing alpha4 over a1 without wiping anything was the best idea i ever had. I will definitely do a full wipe when I go to beta 1.

Overall a great ROM. Arguably better than CM7 IMHO. I cant believe how good it is for being an alpha 1-4. I use this as my daily and have no problems with it at all (Lets face it, CM7 while being great was buggy nonetheless).

Deck did an amazing job and I thank him for it. I was itchy to use ICS as my regular phone's OS and he gave me the opportunity to do so. There is no going back to GB for me :)

Forgot to mention that youtube was choppy on alpha 1. Havent tried yet on alpha4

Enjoy!!
[Droid Incredible General] Futur Innovations:
The YouTube video was choppy tor me too. Even on alpha 5. Its like that on all ICS roms for me :/

~=[,,_,,]:3 <----nyancat :D
[Droid Incredible General] MagnaCore:
YouTube has worked fine for me on alpha 4.
[Droid Incredible General] autre_pensee:
Do you use HD or normal video playing? I have read this may make a difference but have not verified

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

Another thing I noticed is that the auto brightness seems to be setting higher than CM7.

I dont know if this is stock android or ROM dependent but the brightness at identical location seems higher in this deck's rom than it used to be on CM7.

Now just a thought but it would be nice to be able to put a bias setting to auto brightness (eg autobrightness + x% if its not bright enough for you or autobrightness - x% if its too bright)
[Droid Incredible General] MagnaCore:
HD playback has been smooth. Of coarse the app went on a crash rampage but it plays vids fine.
[Droid Incredible General] cerath:
I am on alpha5 and so far I haven't had any issues that haven't already been reported. This ROM is pretty smooth for an alpha build. After flashing the newest incredikernel and ext4 I am pulling about 1600-1700 in quadrant. Still not as fast as some aosp gb rooms, but it is worth it.

Edit: Originally flash wasn't working for me but after reinstalling with the latest update it seems to be working fine.
[Droid Incredible General] jonzin:
Dang I've yet to get over 1000 on quadrant, with/without ext4 and/or supercharger.
[Droid Incredible General] cerath:
Before alpha5 I was only pulling 1000-1200. On alpha2 it was more like 900-1000. This ROM has definitely come a long way.
[Droid Incredible General] hecabe:
Question about ext4 mod's...

Which ext4 mod works best for ICS alpha 5?

1. ext4 4 All normal_data

2. ext4 4 All no_data_limit_normal_dalvik

3. ext4 4 All no_data_limit_dalvik_moved

I'm now using ext4 4 All normal_data, and almost everything is going great. Some FC's with the gallery, but flows alpha 5.

The only problem is presented with the Videos (YouTube, Netflix, Video Player), do not fit the screen, including Netflix and Video Player with FC's and the video looks really bad...
[Droid Incredible General] cerath:
I'm using option 1 as well and it seems to be working great for me so far.
[Droid Incredible General] hecabe:
are you using Netflix?

How it behaves with netflix?
[Droid Incredible General] cerath:
I have Netflix, but I haven't been able to get it to run properly on any of the ics builds unfortunately. It seems to have issues as soon as you try and play a video.
[Droid Incredible General] lczefa:
Been using Evervolv ICS p5 ROM for 48 hours. Got a lot better once I uninstalled Google wallet which was making it crash. Will be even better one they get the camera to work in video mode and panorama mode.

Some other things that need fixing:

Gallery, doesn't load 75% of the time and FC's;

wallpaper crop, never crops correctly and doesn't load 75% with FC;

can't set camera to save to SD card

Install Flash 11 from the market and it will fix the flash issues.
[Droid Incredible General] kioshi:
Google Wallet works w/ Incredible? What?

You mean Galaxy Nexus?

Wrong board~
[Droid Incredible General] dymmeh:
Where did he say that? He was saying the opposite, in fact. He said that Wallet was causing crashes with the Incredible = doesn't work with incredible
[Droid Incredible General] blair287:
ok so i formatted internal memory but pc still says there are files on it but its got 11.8gb free of 11.8gb thats strange.

anyone else not acsess the sd card on the phone?
[Droid Incredible General] "Haus":
For those with the exchange calendar issue on Evervolv, I flashed the exchange APK from https://twitter.com/#!/MongooseHelix/status/159479175328169986 and my exchange calendar is now working. Responses and reminders don't seem to be syncing properly from what I can tell though. Haven't tried it with ICS deck yet.

I don't even have the gmail app. Calendar doesn't force close but it doesn't sync either.

When I ran the Alpha 3 this weekend for a bit my hand was on fire. The bottom of the phone and even the touchscreen was very hot. Has anybody else experienced this?
[Droid Incredible General] Note2Frat:
Not here, but haven't run it more than a day.
[Droid Incredible General] sixfearstheseven:
r2doesinc posted a new ROM on rootzwiki early this morning with working HW acceleration. He says it's daily driver material, and so far, I definitely agree, although I have had a couple truly random reboots (the reboots in A3 were predictable). There are a few other minor issues, but all in all, this build is excellent.
[Droid Incredible General] petecraig612:
I just loaded that up and its great but its all in a different language, a bunch of stuff is in South African lol. I don't know what the hell is going on.
[Droid Incredible General] Note2Frat:
Same here, changed to english under settings. Awesome so far, no reboots

Sorry...No post...My bad
[Droid Incredible General] pastalero:
Any chance there is a working link for the ICS gapps? Can't find one for the life of me

I would love one of those links as well. I am trying right now to get a market working so i can atleast add them back in.

So now that HW acceleration is fixed...hopefully everything else (camera, gallery, youtube, various graphics bugs, etc.) will fall into place :D
[Droid Incredible General] el6006:
I loaded that latest but had no sound what so ever. Back to condemned for now but the progress is amazing.
[Droid Incredible General] Note2Frat:
I have sound, ringer works fine. Hadn't tried the alarm yet.

Edit: have had many random reboots after 1 reboot I did. Before that no issues.
[Droid Incredible General] cheez99:
The hardware acceleration barely did anything for this ROM. I loaded it up earlier today and it's still slower and more laggy than Gingerbread is. Is it just my phone or is this an issue that needs to be resolved?
[Droid Incredible General] el6006:
It worked somewhat smoother with LauncherPro but not as fast as I thought it would be given the hardware acceleration.

[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
So google Music sort of works now. It no longer force closes but it's buggy enough to use a third party app. This is a porting related issue I'm sure that will be fixed down the road.
[Droid Incredible General] pastalero:
Thanks for posting the link swm..and the rom d/l with the egl hack,can't wait to flash it.

On another note,in the last OMX,my backup apps downloaded and installed.

With that was Set CPU. I noticed it gave me the ability to OC albiet too high for the INC. Is the kernel OC enabled or was that just an anomaly.

Not saying my device didn't flip out when I did tho :P
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
I don't think ICS is OC ready at all on our device. It is using the Tiamat AOSP kernel which is why it can overclock.

EDIT: Just wanted to update that gallery seems to work in this build. It and music are probably related to the egl hack.

EDIT 2: I think audio is kind of buggy in general. In poweramp the sound levels still are screwy.

EDIT 3: The ext4 mod seems to work fine. I used the normal data mod. Also just two nitpicking things. I'm missing the reboot options. I assume that's due to pulling the framework from the other rom which is a sacrifice I can live with for faster performance. The other one is that I noticed the dialog options seem reversed. Like normally it's yes/no, allow/deny but here it's no/yes, deny/allow and I sometimes click the wrong one. Kind of annoying. I don't know why the switch. That is inherent from AOSP though so I don't fault the devs here.
[Droid Incredible General] kioshi:
Those that flashed the upload on Megaupload, does the camera work for that build?

Running some files on my Incredible, and I def use it to do powerpoints via USB mounting.
[Droid Incredible General] beachfavor:
The camera is still non-functional. Everything else is pretty fast although all my apps are running much slower than on CM7.
[Droid Incredible General] Nideda24:
Gallery wont load pictures?

Also, I'm not getting any haptic feedback on the softkeys.
[Droid Incredible General] swm5126:
Gallery seems to work fine on mine. And yeah haptic isn't working on the softkeys. If I could sync r2's repo and build it with the fix correctly these probably wouldn't be hard to fix, so until then...
[Droid Incredible General] Nideda24:
Could you point me to the links you downloaded from for the ROM and gapps?
[Droid Incredible General] sixfearstheseven:
EGL hack ROM -

Anyone else notoce that the cursor occasionally appears and disappears again every once in a while? I can't figure out how I'm making it show up.

I'm guessing this is a side effect of the workaround used to get the touchscreen working. Its not a huge issue by any means, just something I thought I would point out.
[Droid Incredible General] petecraig612:
I haven't noticed that with the EGL hack build but I did before HWA was working. I think I was able to get that to replicate when moving the track ball around.

Is anyone able to get music working though their headphones? With like a 3rd party app or anything? That is the one thing holding me back.
[Droid Incredible General] swm5126:
It shows up if you accidently touch the optical joystick. This needs fixed too :)
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
I tried the EGL Hack -

Booted fine, quick just like an AOSP should and was very super quick.

Only issues I run across and am still considering to use as a daily driver, no lie.

→ Wifi broke, did anyone else experience this? Maybe I need to update PRL?

→ Root Access denied, happened when I was going to record my screen and needed permissions.

→ Super User Force closes

→ Browser is very fast and something new, could expect a few modifications though in the future?

→ Launcher forced closed, not to sure what happened..

→ Wifi was on but wouldn't connect to my server, just was stuck on Saved. Then it broke.

↑ That's about all i found, I heard someone say flash was broke? Or wouldn't work? I searched in the market it wasn't there, so im assuming its built into the from?

Love the rom, the fact it was only yesterday when I looked at the dev page and we were still on Alpha 2-3 and today I look and we are on a EGL hack making this rom fast as hell and working properly (For the most part anyway)

Im considering using this as a daily driver, so any ideas on the wifi would help a ton.
[Droid Incredible General] aztex00:
Just installed the EGL hack.

I am constantly given a popup regarding NFC not working. I can't tell exactly what it says since I can't change the language to English. This popup shows up immediately after closing it.
[Droid Incredible General] sixfearstheseven:
ICS is currently incompatible with Flash. Adobe will be releasing an ICS friendly update towards the end of the year/beginning of next year
[Droid Incredible General] aztex00:
So I flashed it again, and the second time around the phone booted directly to the homescreen, completely skipping the initial setup screens. Odd.

Wiping and flashing a third time.
[Droid Incredible General] N-Forced:
Did you also flash gapps? If you don't flash them right after flashing the rom it wont do the setup

Sent from my pimped out phone
[Droid Incredible General] aztex00:
Correct. I am an idiot. I flashed the incorrect version of gapps the first time, and didn't flash it the second.

Third time's a charm. This is very promising. As always, a million thanks to the devs spending countless hours on this!!
[Droid Incredible General] sixfearstheseven:
That makes sense. Its the one thing I didn't try when trying to replicate it and I don't kniw why. Im and idiot and probably would have thrown my phone at a wall before thinking of that.

Re: Flashing Gapps - I flashed the ROM then immediately followed that by flashing Gapps and all I got was this stupid t-shirt, i mean bootloops. I had to flash the ROM, boot it, reboot to recovery, and then flash Gapps for it to work. It didn't allow me to set up my Google account upon booting for the second time, but it was the only way I was able to get it to work
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
The first time I flashed, I flashed gapps after the flash and then booted. It allowed me to change country and so on.

Did anyone's wifi break or am I the only one?
[Droid Incredible General] Note2Frat:
Change language under settings.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
Wifi fine here.

With ics deny is on the left where it was on the right in gb. Maybe you clicked it by accident. I know I have. I didn't run into really any fc issues. If you have reboots try overvolting.

Only issues for me are the audio issues. Charging seems slower even from the wall.
[Droid Incredible General] FadedLite:
Calling issues

Everything looks and seems great.

Two things I am wondering.

1. Does anyone else have the extreme lock screen lag issue?

2. Has anyone else experienced the no call audio or mic problem? I tried to call my friend, and I couldn't hear him nor could he hear me.

Thanks guys, you're making an amazing amount of progress on this project!

Wish I could help...
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
Yeah, im going to flash the OTA prl and then flash EGL again.

Hopefully no Wifi issues after, as for root I may have. I did notice during installing programs it was switched lol.

I assume with what your saying applys to the Allow and Deny options to be switched too?

Ima give it another go after I get done cooking my breakfast and flash the OTA, im going to use this as my daily.

Its almost like I have a new phone!

So damn excited its so freaking awesome, all I can sat is the Incredible has some very amazing devs.

Thank you all!
[Droid Incredible General] KrisPeezy:
Guys, I can't get OMX to boot... Can you help me out? gonna try flashing OTA to refresh the phone

CWM:5.0.2.0

HBOOT 0.92

Touch Panel ATMEL224_16ab

Radio 7.28
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
Do you mean rooted ota or ruu? ruu is better for refresh. Use the froyo one so your can result toot again with unrevoked.

I think the current recovery is not ideal for ics (random offset errors) but its the best we have for this. Mine black screened the first time but worked after a reboot. Try again with a wipe. Good luck. Also check the download and make sure its not corrupt.
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
On it right now, its a pretty nice set up.

Recorded it, its got a ton of media issues but that's fine.

My wifi worked this time, its not an ideal daily yet as I expected.

Back to Cm7 for awhile now I suppose. Great job though, love it.
[Droid Incredible General] KrisPeezy:
I meant rooted, as suggested by NilsP in his rom and updated the PRL.

It seems that the random offset may not be an error per this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362200

So I did load the OTA and update PRL, then flashed swm's updated version of OMX as well as gapps. Bootanimation seems broken, unless you are all getting fuzzy yellowish movement.

Loaded fine after that, but Gallery doesn't work... just get a blank screen
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
Wait a few minutes, plus I think what tiny said about the offset affects the rom.

The first time I had the rom loaded the wifi worked fine for 20 minutes then went haywire. Gallery loaded instantly, and now with my reflashed version my gallery don't show up instantly i have to wait a few minutes.

Honestly my only big gripe was the media (flash) it could load the videos and play sound but no video.

I installed flash, out of nature hoping it would work but it seems like ICS is a very different AOSP?

I can't even install the apks to cm7.

Unless this has to do with it being a 4.0.1 instead of Gb.

I honestly think this will be stable within the next three weeks or almost stable. Its crazy how fast these guys are getting it to work I expected a decent amount of time.
[Droid Incredible General] el6006:
Installed the egl rom and this thing is seriously flying. The keyboard prediction isn't working though.

Was someone having trouble getting Google+ to work? I was too. It wouldn't work until i noticed a notification asking to approve permissions. After accepting, the app works perfectly. This is using the EGL build.
[Droid Incredible General] el6006:
The acceleration is really nice though.
[Droid Incredible General] sdana:
No Sound

I'm running the latest OTX and my sound and notifications aren't working. I looked through the thread for a fix but couldn't find anything. Anyone help?
[Droid Incredible General] sixfearstheseven:
Just posting to say I'm very impressed by this OMX/EGL hack build. At first it was rebooting alot, but after letting it sit overnight, I've been able to use it all day today without a single reboot.

Even without a camera and notification it's more than good enough for my daily driver.
[Droid Incredible General] sixfearstheseven:
r2doesinc posted a new build, 2.0.1b.
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
Downloaded one called 2.0.1 not b. Its very sluggish and slow, did I download the right one? A bit weird considering the last one I tried last night flew.
[Droid Incredible General] Note2Frat:
No that one doesn't have the hack. Try the new one 2.0.1.b
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
Haha yeah I somehow skipped the b one.

Thanks

Edit: B of course is 10x better, hella fast and alot better.

Of course I've ran into some issues, my 3rd party apps are not starting. Just says "Sorry, Unable to Start/Load", kinda sucks and its only limited as far as I can tell.

Minecraft doesn't play either, It loads then as I start to walk it crashes. Hope to see these ironed out.

SetCPU rebooted my phone on the last two builds.

Edit again: It seems like downloaded market apps from sites or filesharesites are detected by iCS somehow. Old apks don't seem to work either, did ICS do a bump in security or something? Its crazy..
