Question

Thanks for such a great tutorial.

I have a question.

Does sd card and sim card also needs to be taken out before one start flashing?

Also how long does this procedure take (the flashing process)?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] bscraze:
Its not necessary. Flashing takes about 3~4min for me for it to boot up
[Galaxy 3 General] gauravgs:
:) that's great.. 3~4 mins only. after that will I be able to use my phone in regular mode (making calls and restoring my address book) or I have to configure it?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] PersianSphinx:
after flashing it will work like newly released from factory ;) you can restore and all but depending on if you wiped device after the flasing process you will lose data, thats why i said make a backup of your important stuff before flashing :)

thnx bscraze for answering peoples questions while i was away :D
[Galaxy 3 General] gauravgs:
:) Ok

so should I backup my sdcard contents also on my PC (wipe data will clear both memories sdcard as well as phone's)?

or shall I leave it as it is?

I use titanium backup. Backed up all the user apps using it.

Thanks

Ok I thought I would start a page for everyone trying out the new beloved ICS alpha roms to talk. This way the developers can work and their pages stay clean.

I have installed the latest preview 1 plus the zip labled as hardware acceleration. plus the inivisable tweaks. This thing is running like a champ now. the keyboard is responsive. I turned off the animations and forced the 2d gpu settings. I also have v6 supercharger installed. Been running for almost 4 hours without any random reboots. 3d games will suck but the 2d ones are running good.
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
Preview 4

What I have found that works

sms

wifi

1x

3g

Bluetooth

calls

gallery

hardware acceleration

gps

sound

moms

headphones

What does not work or work correctly

camera

4g (not that it will ever work for me Cricket does not support it)

this is all I have had time to test.

I would like to thank all the developers for all their had work. This is great so far!!
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Seems like people keep having hissy fits in the development thread.

But anyway, I'm excited to get proper HA and headphone port fixed, when that happens, this will be my daily.

I use Netflix too often to live without using headphones.

There's been great progress so far though. I popped over the Epic 4G Touch thread and they're nowhere near as close to getting a workable ICS like we are, just makes me happy I didn't upgrade to the Touch, I was very close to it.
[EVO 4G General] snunez:
man i posted a long post pertaining to getting email to properly work on the preview in the thread where they were ranting about the ics thread being locked and a min later the thread is gone ha should have copied it to a .txt document... o well ill write it out again

aside from everything already listed as working or not working..

market now lets you download and install which didnt work in A5

I had issues getting my exchange server at work and my phone to work.

The process i went through to get this to work was:

reboot into recovery

wipe data/reset to factory

wipe cache partition

wipe dalvik cache

Flash ROM

Flash hw_eccel

Flash uninvisibletweaks

Reboot phone

Then i setup all the incoming server configuration settings and connected finally everything is syncing

Rebooted into recovery

Flashed GAPPS for ICS

Rebooted and was good to go
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
On my second day of daily use and cannot believe how well this is running. No reboots. My only dislike is the lack of buttons in the notification bar. I can't wait for a beta version to be released. Having the camera working would be awesome. I want the lock screen that recognizes my face! That would be super cool.

anybody having issues getting the home key to work? when i flashed a4 for the first time, i didnt have it working, then after a i wiped it and tried a few times i got it working...now on the latest update i havent been able to get it to work no matter how many times i try
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
I have had no issues with it so far, but as we know not all evos are created equal. The next release is due out later tonight or tomorrow. Headphones will be working along with a few other things. They are testing a new kernel. Will post more as it becomes available. Till then have fun with your new play toy!

[EVO 4G General] DertyDOH:
I've been running Preview 3 all day, pretty awesome, way faster than all the previous releases
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
Well I just got preview 3 installed and must say it is great! Although I was wrong about the headphones they still don't work but the gallery does. Preview 4 is scheduled to be released tonight and headphones and mms is claimed to be fixed.

[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Preview 4 got released earlier, can't try it right not but might later, btw, the download links are here: http://infectedrom.com/showthread.php/632-EVO-4g-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-from-source

Seems headphones are fixed, i still can't wait for proper HA to be implemented though, but the development has been going very speedy.
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
I have installed preview 4. Gallery is working along with the headphones. I had some issues with the browser closing immediately after opening but a couple of reboots later and it worked fine. Also a few display anomalies in landscape view but nothing consistent. Google is now syncing my apps. Still no camera yet but its on the way soon. Mms will send and receive! 3d games I use are working but are little bit slow yet usable. Newest version of script manager does work and so does v6 supercharger.
[EVO 4G General] criccio:
I can confirm that if you wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, you can flash P4 over P3 with no ill effects.
[EVO 4G General] Andr3wD:
Preview 4 is good enough that I am now using it as a daily rom. But it has some weird issues, like after awhile apps won't open. They open then close right away, like the browser problem in the post above me. Hmm...ctually it may be that I have to close some apps from the multitask menu. I just thought about that idea. lol.

And the screen has a hard time coming on. But besides the obvious it's working great.
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
Did a benchmark test on this rom and it is right in line with the scores I got using cm7.

I have v6 supercharger installed but have not installed the unvisabletweaks.zip on preview 4 yet.
[EVO 4G General] .Nox:
Ive been running the ICS P4 since last night and am loving it! Its butter smooth and I've only ran into a few snags. The primary being my home button isn't working and neither is flash. I'll try reflashing to see if i cant get the home button to work. These guys have done some amazing work! (Post 1 of 10, damn developers restriction)
[EVO 4G General] vulcan001:
Im having some problems with my ICS flash. The phone is flashed fine, did a minimal data, cache, & dalvik cache wipe but when flashed & running the menus a laggish on mine. But when loaded into an app it runs quickly. My market is all jacked up not allowing me to download some things, as i know some apps arent compatible. Help?
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
Second day on preview 4 with only one reboot. While using the xda app it froze and rebooted. Most of my apps work but I had to update a few to get them working. My gps is good within 15 ft. No sluggish menus but I also did a full wipe of everything. Market downloads have also not been an issue for me either. I am using the gapps listed as preferred. On the ics keyboard I can't get all caps to stay on, but I use SwiftKey X so it is not even a issue for me. Last night I flashed unvisable tweaks and only made about 3 point difference on the benchmark.
[EVO 4G General] vulcan001:
Well just did a full factory wipe then a data wipe & all that biz & got the rom flashed with everything else & the rom is working absolutely awesome! Got no complaints besides my messages not going out if they exceed a certain character limit... Wonder whats wrong? Any fixes?

Btw jlmancuso how do you get the v6 script running on your phone? I got the zip file but it doesnt install says it needs update.txt or something like that.
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
Vulcan001 make sure you have the newest script manager installed and supercharger update 9.
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
I might be wrong but I don't think AOKP has full HWA, how do we confirm this?
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
Go into settings and if the background is just black it has partial HWA. If it has full HWA the background will be a gradient color. Aokp has full hwa since build 30 i think or 31
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
Last time I ran with AOKP it was 29 and they didn't have it, also had bunch of FC so I switched, does 31 have any FC's?
[EVO 4G General] timn03:
AOKP Build 33

Flashed AOKP build 33 on my evo last night. Everything that worked for me in milestone 4 works, plus the additional features from builds 31 and 32, and very, VERY smooth. Also, not sure which latest build included the working wifi hotspot, but it's working great, too. Very pleased with this build, looking forward to milestone 5! Great work AOKP dev team, keep it up!
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
Did anyone try GPS on AOKP 33, had trouble with Navigation
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
I used it today with no problems whatsoever. What is happening on yours?
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
Its searching for GPS but never acquired the signal, it found my location no problem
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
Mine did that too but then I turned on the GPS toggle and it locked me in seconds. :D
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
I had GPS on, it finally locked in but if I was moving than it would lose the signal again
[EVO 4G General] tgm4883:
So I've been running the unofficial CM9 nightly from May 10th, and I've noticed a few issues. Wondering if anyone else running this build has seen the same.

[ROM] Unofficial CM9 for Supersonic Nightlies (2012-5-10)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1625096

1) After calling 911, the phone is in emergency mode and cannot make normal calls until rebooted. I don't have a lock screen and had just dialed 911 just like any other call I would have made so I thought that was weird.

2) I cannot call out through my Google Voice. What happens is the person on the other end sees me calling from my cell number, not my Google voice number. I attempted turning on some of the GV features via the touch tones, but those didn't work so it seems the call isn't being routed through the GV servers at all. It's worth noting that this worked previous to me switching to this ROM ( I used the kushdeck ICS rom before ) and that I have Sprint GV integration but didn't choose to use my Sprint number with GV.
[EVO 4G General] jasonwojo75:
Is it just me or is every ics rom site down. I can't download any of them.
[EVO 4G General] chumphrey78:
The one I use is up and running... great stable builds available as well.

JMZ's CM9 port is the way to go, you can find the thread under the development section.
[EVO 4G General] jmockk:
why cant my phone take any ics rom anymore

i used to have akop rom then went to red line now im trying to go back to akop and my phone is acting unstable
[EVO 4G General] css911:
This is for all ICS devs for the SuperSonic EVO 4G, JMZ just released new Nightly ROMs that include fixes for Hulu, and video apps (except Netflix atm). Also, he released a camera fix. which is awesome. It actually works and he uploaded the patch as a separate zip file. Take advantage of this. I really want to see a MIUI ROM, become up to speed on performance.

06/24 nightly with the same mason kernel update

nav works as long as you don't put the phone into the dock
[EVO 4G General] j0ckinjz:
Does anyone else have problems with downloading mms messages? Connected to wifi or 3g downloading takes forever.
[EVO 4G General] OneDeep:
This thread seem dead compared to the other one.
[EVO 4G General] jokerswild2505:
Installed 06/27 jmz nightly over fresh factory reset to test docked navigation bug. Did not change governor or mess with kernel in any way.

Ran nav outside of dock successfully. Then inserted phone into dock and opened nav. Nav ran fine for 5 minutes then froze and phone rebooted.

I can confirm this happens consistently across multiple nightlies even after wiping the phone.

Can anyone else confirm this bug? I feel like I'm talking to myself a little with this problem but it seems like a big deal to me.
[EVO 4G General] LordJezo:
I read here someplace that the reason the FFC doesn't work is because HTC never released the drivers for it, or something like that.

Does anyone expect this to ever be corrected or will no FFC be a demanded trade off if someone wants to go 4.x+ on their phones? Is this something private developers could ever do or are we at the complete mercy of HTC?
[EVO 4G General] diusgh:
When I was using team dirt's cm9 port, my nav and maps weren't functional, phone lockup/reboot. As I can't live without nav I rolled back to ginger and didn't try to trouble shoot it. Tried it twice then rolled back to a nan.

[EVO 4G General] KevinGee:
Does anybody have links to another ics kernel besides the Mason kernel?
[EVO 4G General] Gm0n3y:
can anyone compare the speed of the latest team dirt cm9 (v2.0) to say some of the popular gingerbread roms? i was on 1.7 and switched back to the classic rom because it just felt a lil too laggy.
[EVO 4G General] Dillionaire:
I've been installing the cm9 versions since they came out. I feel that they much slower at all. I was actually impressed by the speed because I figured with it being a newer OS it wouldn't work well. The newest v2.0 ran real well for me, but I got some random force closes so I ultimately switched back to the cm7.2. The HoloLauncher gives you a taste of ICS on gingerbread. Basically just used that for the ICS feel.

I just joined the site, but I've been habitually switching roms and reading these forum posts since I got my Evo back in December of 2010. I must say my favorite and most functional gingerbread roms have been SOS (swagged out stock) and Cyanogen mods. Using both with the Hololauncher for the ICS because we all know ICS is freakin' sweet.

As of a couple days ago though, the Team Dirt Galaxy S port from RemICS will be my daily driver from here on out. It's a beast of a rom and I think anyone who hasn't tried it should go flash it right now. Only draw backs are the same as any other ICS rom. No FFC, 4G. For me the native MMS doesn't work but nothing GoSMS can't fix for the time being until another update.

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G General] Dillionaire:
Tiamat has a couple. It's the only other I have used, but I didn't have that rom and kernel on the phone for long. So I really can't give a review on it. I just know that it worked.

I can't post links yet so you'll just have to google "tiamat kernels" then to the evo 4g section once on the page.
[EVO 4G General] KevinGee:
Yeah I found the thread for the tiamat kernel but the links don't work, like the page never loads

Decided to post a few pics of what I've been running as of yesterday. Tested it out for a day, really responsive, no lag, no crashes so far, the only thing I have a problem with is the battery life, but it probably has something to do with the kernel or something. I'm not an expert on this stuff yet. Running the Zaum launcher, really clean and simple, and runs fast too. Just a suggestion for people looking for something good with ICS!

Edit: If anyone knows a good kernel I could use with this I'd really appreciate it!

Noob trying to ICS since HTC does want to give to Evo 4g

I looked on this site in the developers thread on the files to update a HTC EVO 4G to ICS. I see in this page:

d-h.st/users/deck/?fld_id=609#files, I see htc_supersonic-ota-eng.deck-pb25.zip file to download. I do not see the steps I need to upgrade to the 4.0 IOS for Android. Can someone show where to find the instructions on how to do this. I am pretty tech savvy when it come to PCs and laptops but have never done this on a phone....ever.

What are the pre-steps to be done before installing the ICS IOS?

Do i use the most recent one pb25 or another one?

My phone is factory, not root do I need to /root this phone?

Please answer ASAP!

Thanks!

Changing camera resolution!?!

I'm running ICS (Savoca's Rom), which is stock android ICS.

Is there any way to change the resolution settings at the hardware level without the need of using third party software?

For instance, with the stock app, I can change the settings to 8M, 5M, and 1.2M (?), but I would like to get the camera working at resolutions like other settings. I have used third party aps like Camera360, but these aps use SOFTWARE processing of the images, so they're quiet slow.

Also, has any one done any quality comparisons on their evos to see which resolution setting has the best image/size ratio (8M vs 5M vs 1.2M)?

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

Have you tried a third party ap like " GO SMS PRO"?

Also, I thought this thread was about ICS, not jelly bean

Yes, you need to root your phone. Check the version of your firmware, and get back to us because depending on the version, your rooting steps will vary

sorry im bad at english :)

i mean like, whats the problem with FFC on ICS?

it cant take picture with FFC right? is it from the driver or ?
[EVO 4G General] oohaylima:
Proprietary drivers. Since it is closed to us we have no way of reverse engineering it. Plus ICS made some big changes, so a plug and chug method of the old drivers won't work. Afaik

after flashing the rom and gapps, i right away installed spare parts, checked if compatibility mode was enabled and since then it has made the rom a lot more stable
[EVO 4G General] vulcan001:
I installed spare parts now. Waiting to see the results from that add on. The rom has some instability issues here & there but its no biggie. Its probably cos im using easy tether. Its always managed to cause my phone to reboot. Another thing i saw is that deck is getting to work on a new ics aosp rom. Another member posted links to his rom, still in the alpha stages.

I just flashed decks pa5 with no problems. YouTube is working. pa5 has landscape home screen as well. Very happy with it so far.

I've been running decks ICS since pa3 and absolutely love it. Prior to that, I was running the evervolv ICS, and deck's is much smoother and more responsive.

If you're looking to try ICS, and can handle typical pre-alpha bugs, decks pa5 is the way to go!
