AKOP ICS runs very well. I think its the best of then all so far.
[EVO 4G General] cprielly:
Did you try enabling "High quality on mobile" in settings?
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
p8 from drew should be out tonight!!!

Im gonna nandroid back to p7 and upgrade, AOKP runs great but I think drews builds run better, even though most of AOKP is based off drews build.
[EVO 4G General] wtf911:
+1

I like to stick with ROMs from the people who are actually pioneering new features and doing actual programming...not just sticking their name, adding a theme, and claiming stupid changes.

For those who didn't know right now pretty much every single ICS ROM out for the Evo is based on preludedrew's Evervolv...Mazwozs, Decks, jaredthegreats...the only one that's different is AOKP.

I too would say drew's is just cleaner and better.
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
I thought AOKP was still based off Evervolv.... Even if they use others work, they still bring ALOT of needed development to the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] drose1976:
I have run just about every one of the ICS Roms. Prefer Drew and AOKP. However, I keep running into an inability to send MMS. Is that a known bug? I haven't seen it pop up on any of the discusions...
[EVO 4G General] jaymaj:
ICS

I've been trying the new ICS ROMs every so often. Want to thank Drew and all the other developers for trying to make this work on the EVO.

Anyone getting close to cracking the front camera driver yet? and how about video?
[EVO 4G General] suarezn:
AOKP vs. MIUI.

So I'm currently checking out AOKP to compare it to the latest MIUI where I came from. I'm using NOVA launcher for both. To begin with they're very similar (Of course coming from the same code base). Both have the same issues (Front camera, Video recording, and Netflix don't work. Buttons don't light up. Battery consumption is very high). Other than that most everything seems to work.

AOKP seems a bit faster and I do like some of the customization options they provide with ROM control. Some of these don't seem to work for me or maybe I'm doing something wrong, but anything related to the lockscreen doesn't seem to work (i.e. Lockscreen style, volume music controls, fast torch, etc).

Even with ROM Control MIUI is still ahead when it comes to customization options. Themes still don't apply correctly in MIUI and a few options are missing as compared to the last GB version. A matter of preference I guess, but I still like the MIUI dialer way better than even the latest ICS dialer.

Bottom line is right now I'm undecided whether to stay with AOKP or go back to MIUI...They're both daily driver material for me as I don't need Netflix or Camcorder on a regular basis. I'll jump on whichever release the next version first.

Edit: My battery usage was very high, but after I did Battery Calibration it seem actually pretty decent. Right now standing at 30% after 15+ hours with moderate use. Torch still doesn't work by pressing the home button.
[EVO 4G General] MafioZi:
I am running AOKP Supersonic buld 23.

I have had no major problems, and it is fast and smooth.

All customization options work for me (lockscreen style, fast torch, etc.)

My battery consumption is very acceptable.

I have seen some bugs you are talking about like buttons not lighting up, but the are all minor.

I found one major bug, I cannot mount storage over USB. This is a big problem for me. I am resorting to SSH for now, but if this is not fixed within a week, I will go back to gingerbread.
[EVO 4G General] jpkelly05:
Anybody get Chrome to work on any of these ROMs? I tried 2 last week and it just sat there doing nothing. I checked the processes and it says AndroidInvalidation. I would like to check it out.
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
on kushdecks alpha 7 i believe chrome works
[EVO 4G General] Joshmccullough:
Chrome does indeed work on that, also the most recent Evervolv/Preludedrew ICS build, but I've found them both to be unstable, they'll eventually reboot randomly on me. Seems that Chrome isn't working on all but the most recent Alphas of ICS ROMs, anyone smarter than me have an idea why that would be/how one might fix it?
[EVO 4G General] indyjames:
Just a note Jared has just put up a MIUI based ICS..it's in beta so there will be some glitches..but if you like MIUI might be worth a look..it on his site blazing-rom

Jareds ICS

Ive used Jared ICS AOSP for a few day, definitely daily driver material (If you dont need Netflix and 4G) but am now on AOKP and think its a drop better (Battery life is definitely better..)
[EVO 4G General] jeetjshah:
I've definitely noticed the battery is way better on AOKP.

Its just hard for me to test because I work in an area with 0 bars, and i'm constantly roaming.

[EVO 4G General] jeetjshah:
Look up the Smurfed Out tweak script in the Android Development section. Papa Smurf compiled a bunch of the different tweaks for the build.prop and it makes this b27 flyyy

[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Yes, it's the best sense rom out for the evo
[EVO 4G General] saeroner:
finally flashing this today. now i know where to come for advice.
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
Though I haven't checked, I didn't think clean sense 1.0 was ICS.... anyone read the title of this thread?
[EVO 4G General] iiiiaann:
I'm running Deck's pb5 right now and having a few issues. When I open the camera, it gradually gets lighter and lighter and then crashes, and zooming and settings cause ransom issues with icons staying on the screen. Is this normal or not?

Another thing is the flashlight quick toggle in the notification bar widget is not even showing up for me.

I think those are the main two things right now that I've noticed, wasnt sure if these were normal or if there was a quick fix or something. Other than that this ROM is absolutely awesome. ICS is fantastic.
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
I'm using Decks pb5 also and as far as camera this is normal, at least for now, but its just a preview that is broken, it will still take picture without preview
[EVO 4G General] iiiiaann:
Yea I figured that at not long after I posted. A temp dirty fix for this is to hold the home button while in the camera app. If you clear all of your recent apps you can see the preview
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
deck just released pb7, camera preview fixed
[EVO 4G General] iiiiaann:
do you have to wipe before flashing if youre coming from pb5?
[EVO 4G General] i-l-l:
riddle me this...is there a working mod for onscreen buttons for any of deck's latest builds?
[EVO 4G General] Jstlouis1993:
Is mms still a issue on decks pb7? That is like one thing mainly stopping me from flashing just yet :)
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
I flashed pb6 over 5 and than pb7 over that so I'm wondering if that's the problem with mms, so I'm gonna do clean flash of 7 tomorrow and let u guys know
[EVO 4G General] iiiiaann:
I'm on pb5 and MMS is working. I've heard that installing goSMS fixes brokenm s
[EVO 4G General] te45a:
Doesn't fix it, its a work around but I like stock messaging too much to u use gosms
[EVO 4G General] krucialcuts:
will evo 4g ever get a working ics camera before they 86 the phone all together. just curious to how long everbody will be making roms for our phones before they stop since the new wave of phones are coming
[EVO 4G General] Skripka:
Camera or camcorder or what?

AOKP and Deck ICS both have working still camera.
[EVO 4G General] krucialcuts:
Camera, I luv everything the development teams do and there's no way I could do it but I think the time it takes to get one the evolution will be extinct lol
[EVO 4G General] QnzMostWanted:
running that new gummy worms ICS, works great, better than Chicken Salad anyday
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
Have you tried goSMS? It is so much better than the stock one! WAY more things you can do. You can customize it like crazy, down to the font color and size, background, etc. Also, you can draw random doodles and send it right to someone through the app. Very handy at times! I could never go back to the stock app now.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Is there an ICS build that works all the way?
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
I'm not sure what you mean by "all the way," but if you mean front facing camera, camcorder, 4G, etc.... then no. Not even close.

If you mean something that is usable as an everyday device, then yes. They are very stable, very smooth, and very fun to use. Pretty much all of them are roughly the same right now. They almost all have full hardware acceleration, camera (with some slight bugs), and are slick and stable.

My personal favorite at the moment is the latest build of the AOKP (Build 31). It is unbelievably smooth - by far the most responsive ROM my phone has ever seen. Only one reboot I believe, and that could be kernel-related because I wasn't using the stock kernel (I tried the Mason 0.14 SBC non-fso kernel, which is awesome for battery life by the way).
[EVO 4G General] cobmojo:
I second what PsiPhiDan said.

I'm very happy with AOKP B31 (with camera fix) using the .14 Mason Kernel.

I can't wait for the next AOKP build and Mason kernel v.15.
[EVO 4G General] Drunkenfetus:

aokp milestone 4

Running AOKP milestone 4 on my evo and loving it. only thing i wanted that didnt work was sprint vvm. switched to google voice, it gets the job done. using it as my everyday cell phone and its working great. tried build 32, liked some of the added options but for my daily phone i need something more stable, which is why im still on milestone 4. looking forward to the next milestone, though!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] icebuck:
Is there any way some one has found out how to stop the Silent updates from Amazon.

There updates look like they want nothing but the basic Kindle Launcher! :eek:

One of the easiest ways to avoid the update was simple turning off wifi.

But, I wanted to know if there are any other ways!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
I've frozen the OTASilentinstall.apk with luck so far. But fyi this belongs in general.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
The updates don't really hurt anything, and CM7 is supposed to be ready tomorrow, which means no worry about OTA updates at all. So just hang tight little Pilgrim.

I thought he said Sunday. Do you know something I don't?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Actually, you know something I don't, which is the correct day, thought today was Saturday, but yeah, he said Sunday it should be ready.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Maybe we'll get lucky and get it today.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:
how does one freeze that apk?

will cm7 allow for the free amazon prime video streaming?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Use a program like titanium backup pro and tap and hold on the application and select "freeze"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
I have a feeling no. Once you root your Fire the amazon prime video detects it and disables it.

Once you are on cm7 you will have permanent root practically and if amazon can detect root or not, Im sure it can detect your not on the right ROM and just outright say no.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Use Voodoo OTArootkeeper it will temp unroot when needed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] publicanimal:
Thanks so much for developing this mod! Great work! Keep 'em coming!

[Android General] sn0warmy:
Like many others, I've been drooling over the Galaxy Nexus since it was announced. However, the more I read about it, the less interested I am to get one. At this point it seems that the only real upside to moving from the SGS2 to the Galaxy Nexus is ICS. But we all know there will be an ICS port available for the SGS2 within the upcoming months anyway, so that's a moot point.

Two comparison reviews I read:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/42623/galaxy-nexus-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-2

http://www.knowyourmobile.com/comparisons/1098323/samsung_galaxy_nexus_vs_samsung_galaxy_s2.html

Considering that the Galaxy Nexus is larger, has an inferior screen (supposedly), and lacks the ability to upgrade the internal storage due to lack of an SD card slot, I'm really losing sight on the appeal for the Galaxy Nexus.

Are you still planning on upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus when it becomes available? If so, why?
[Android General] typoknig:
Plus the Nexus only have a 5MP camera. One reason why I was considering the Nexus is because of the NFC technology Android Beam. I know a lot of people may need the extra space of a micro SD card slot, but a lot of people don't even have a micro SD card in their GS2 just because it doesn't come with one. Either way you go, you will be getting a good phone :)
[Android General] sn0warmy:
Yeah, the 5mp camera appeared to be a turn off to me at first as well. But I have seen some comparison pictures taken with both phones and the 5mp camera on the Nexus does seem to be a bit clearer than the 8mp camera on the SGS2.

However, I don't typically choose a phone due to its camera. So this doesn't really matter to me.
[Android General] wannagofast:
Ya I was debating these two for awhile. I went Tmob GS2 and don't regret it one bit...better cpu, gpu, modem, SD card, camera, lighter, smaller, etc. For me a phone any larger than the GS2 and I not interested, it has taken some getting use to the larger size in my hand coming from a Nexus S.
[Android General] unlvmike:
I'm most likely going to own both of them. I love the nexus line of phones. Nothing like stock. They are both amazing from what I have seen and will decide which is better for myself after using both.

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[Android General] setzer715:
You do realize that both of those reviews are of the i9100, right? That phone is really a COMPLETELY different phone than the SGH-T989! There needs to be a comparison to the T-Mobile US version of the SGSII.

The Nexus is larger in height but not width, it is in fact thinner in width.

Where the heck did you read that? Are you talking about Gorilla Glass? It has a reinforced glass, Google wouldn't let them put **** on their latest and greatest after the Nexus S flop

Who uses more than 32GB?

YES. Because it is a Nexus. ICS. Updates BEFORE ANY OTHER PHONE GET'S THEM. Will have HUGE developer support. Best display available. There's more, can't think of them now.

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

I agree totally. When I first read the stats with a 5mp camera first thought was, "why"? But I have too seen the comparisons. I'm willing to get they upgraded the optics. All that aside, I don't take many pictures with my phone. I use my camera for that so it's a minimal spec.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

Hmmm...Better CPU - You sure? This CPU (TMO SGSII) is pain to do anything productive with.

GPU - Ok, may be a LITTLE better, but I doubt you would ever notice the difference. As far as I've read that GPU performs just fine for any game available on Android.

Modem - What are you talking about? The HSPA+ speed?

SD Card, yeah, talked about that already.

Lighter - Um, NO, they weigh the same.

Camera - More pixels means **** if the camera itself cant handle them.

ETC - What else? You say you can't handle a larger phone? I thought this thing was huge when I got it and wanted to go back to my Sensation but in time I grew to like the size. Just FYI, the Nexus is taller but skinnier. Thinner too by .6mm.

NFC Android Beam Correction

I didn't think the GS2 had NFC (Android Beam) but I was just reading the back of the box and it says it is NFC enabled, so maybe it does. This pushes the GS2 over the top imo.

There just isn't enough added to it besides ics for me to buy it!
[Android General] setzer715:

Yes, the TMO SGSII has NFC.
[Android General] mackster248:
The GN is better than TMO's SII in almost every way. The fact that its a 720p screen is such a big winner. 4.6' WVGA screen looked really bad to me. And I would take a TI-OMAP4 processor over Qualcomm's S3 processor any day of the week. Plus it's straight from Google. You save yourself the headache of wondering whether you're going to get the next Android firmware upgrade.

I bet the SII wont even officially get ICS until Q2 of next year, and that's probably after the SIII is released lol. Just like what happened with the first generation Galaxy S.
[Android General] immunityx:
Tmo sgs2 >>> GN
[Android General] jordanishere:
There seems to be a lot of debate about which phone is better. Both have similar processors, one has an sd card slot and one doesnt, both have huge screens, nfc, comparable cameras.

Given that the phones are so similar, why not save around $200 and get the sgs2?
[Android General] kabuk1:
I find it hilarious that *XDA members* would give points to a phone just because it comes with the latest version of Android. It's like a mechanic complaining because another car has better spark plugs or something. ICS isn't a real selling point to anyone but clueless end-users, IMO.
[Android General] daddymatt:
I know its been said here but still... any time you read ANYTHING about the SGS2 they are talking about the i9100 which is a COMPLETELY different phone than out t989... besides the camera and the "sII" printed on the back, not much else is the same... just saying.

Sent from my Beastly SGS2!
[Android General] AllGamer:
if you think that's bad

you should check this detailed list out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362556
[Android General] sn0warmy:
A lot of good insight here. One thing others have brought up, which I was not aware of, is that the TMO SGS2 is much different than the i9100 version. I knew the exterior was a bit different but I thought that was it. Are you saying that the T989 is inferior to the i9100? If so, in what ways?

That's my point. This is where I currently stand. I was ready to sell my SGS2 and pay an additional $250+ for the Galaxy Nexus sometime over the next couple of months. But at this point, it just doesn't seem worth it. Maybe sometime next year when it is readily available on T-Mobile and I am eligible to upgrade I will pick up a GN for around the same price I sell my SGS2 for, making it a wash.

The below bug you listed would really drive me nuts:

software buttons bugs (mostly with apps that are not ICS ready)
[Android General] Killbynature:
Is is inferior but not quite like omg its just the original has better gpu and processor. But this version has better battery life. Ill trade off some power for better battery life anytime. All people do is over hype the processor which will eventually be outdated like every other processor. A everyday user for normal task it is easy. Even for a power user like me. Not a big deal. They act as if the t-mobile version is the bastard child of the family. Sure on stock touchwiz the original sg2 beats the tmobile version. But any other custom roms everything varies. You can never compare them because they are compiled from different sources. It is like comparing apples from different areas. They may look the same but they taste different.
[Android General] eMace:
When I got my phone, i was trying to choose between waiting for the galaxy nexus, get the iphone 4s, or get one of the SGS2 variants. I went with the SGH-T989. And after reading more about the Nexus, and playing around with friends' and family's iphone 4s, I'm pretty confident that I made the right decision.
[Android General] wildside84:
The nexus will have more support from the developer community, so if you are addicted to flashing multiple types of roms go with the nexus. Most average flashers pick cm or miui anyway though. I really love the idea of contact-less charging on the nexus. I wish more phones had this feature but i'm happy with my sgs2.
[Android General] sn0warmy:
Excellent post TheBoldImperator. Thanks for the feedback.

I was not aware that the GN had a screen that differed from Gorilla Glass. I'm not a fan of screen protectors so I love the durability of the Gorilla Glass on the SGS2. Hell, I even scraped the s*** out of my screen with a razor blade to get candle wax off of it and it worked perfectly without leaving a single scratch or scuff. I'll be curious to see how the screen on the GN holds up to similar tests.

The GN will definitely have more support and a wider range of ROMs to choose from. So that definitely is something to keep in mind as well, I suppose.
[Android General] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm still torn.

I preordered the G1, refreshed my browser over and over so I could order the nexus one on day one, bought the nexus s a day or two after it came out...so this is a bit of an 'experience for me'. Every year a new nexus.

However, now that I have a device that is so undeniably similar, I might have to rethink. I may just buy it(unlocked gsm of course) to see how it is, but I have a couple of concerns. Mainly, the buttons. On my galaxy tab, I've had situations where the system has locked up temporarily, and the buttons are useless. At least on cm7 you can hold the back button to kill running app. Probably not true for the galaxy nexus seeing how they're software based.

As of now, I think I'm going to hold out for cm9 on my T989. 200dpi over 4.6in is sharp enough for me. I don't see a reason to spend all that money on a minimal upgrade at best.

Time will tell.
