[HTC Desire S] ben ifin:
I did check the front page first but it is not totally clear:-

It says " tethering " is not working, but does that WiFi-Tethering or USB-Cabled-Tethering or both ?

Also regarding Mobile Data/Internet, it says Phone 2G and 3G is working but that does not mean Data is working.

Ben
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Mobile Data is working.

I've just noticed that the signal strength indicator is always at full (that is 5 bars) even if the 3G connection is broken in some areas (also in About Phone it shows "0 dBm, 97 asu" all the time). With other ROMs the signal strength was varying from 5 to 1 bar in such areas. Anyone has this too? I was wondering if the indicator shows real value for signal or is always at full regardless of the coverage.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Tethering means all tethering otherwise there would stand WIFI- or USB-Tethering.

Mobile data works with both network types.

If it changes related to stronger or weaker signal i can't tell, but i can confirm that the bars are even at a broken connection are full. But they are greyed out like they should without connection.
[HTC Desire S] hippihippo:
Well my signal bars seem to reasonably accurately convey signal strength on the latest. I know that the signal bars constantly showing full signal no matter how strong the signal was an issue with an earlier beta...

I've flashed b4r1 on top of b3r2 without wipe...it could be this. To be honest I don't want to start all over again from scratch with a wipe and install b4r1 just for this.
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
Want someone test?

this is LorD ClockaN's latest base with kernel from mdj..

download:

ics-saga-alpha-5.zip

happy testing ;)
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Any fixes with this one?
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
no, main issues are there. h icon in statusbar is fixed, more preferences on launcher and settings. that is what i can see. and updated latest apps too
[HTC Desire S] Muru11:
ey thanx there!! have been waiting for the ICS Rom!!

merry xmas to all u!!
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Cheers m8 downloading now
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Should we wipe completely before flashing? I've tried by wiping cache and I got "Instalation aborted (Status 1)" error. Anyone the same?

Later edit: Seems to work after wiping data/factory...I should reinstall everything again:(
[HTC Desire S] niblettr:
I get exactly the same error after a full wipe.
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
same here

error on zip (Statut 1)
[HTC Desire S] niblettr:
I get E:Error in /sdcard/ics-saga-5.zip

(Status 1)

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

etc..
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I've choose the option to completely format partitions (without sdcard) and it worked after that. The problem I face most now is reboot after several seconds after I plug in usb cable. As soon as I plug in the cable, if I do something (it happened first when trying to access settings for apps and second when I was opening Market), the phone restarts. Same actions with the phone not being plugged in USB, works ok without reboot.

Got reboot now when installing Titanium Backup from Market, without having the phone plugged in USB. I'm forced to restore the backup, this beta seems to be too unstable for me.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Same here reverted back to beta 4r1
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Does the rom from proxuser include cm9 launcher?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Don't know how the CM9 launcher looks like. The Launcher in this ROM is similar with all ICS Launchers I saw, just have some added "settings" to disable persistent Google search bar, disable rotation and so on...
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
People experiencing Installation aborted (status 1) error while installing ics-saga-5.zip from proxuser, check you have unmounted every partition. The updater-script wants to format them without unmounting them before.
[HTC Desire S] crwblyth:
Does this mean no main issues are there or no, the main issues are there?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
the main issues still exist
[HTC Desire S] crwblyth:
If reverting back to old rom doesn't fix this, format your cache partition to solve the problem (Don't google it cause false friends exist --> Dead eMMC chip) - i.e. You haven't bricked and your eMMC isn't dead.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Think I'll wait for superkids next release as I think most issues will be sorted

And Finally ................Android ICS ROM for Galaxy S II leaks with touch wiz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISAI6qbQm6U&feature=player_embedded#!

When WE ll have a chance to see the goodie with sense

Eagerness cant wait.:)
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
All of them are beta and they also have issues. İ Dont think that we get fully working rom before 3 months ;)
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
Annan is how far something is, the construction of roma ICS Desire S. (Beta 4r1). :confused:
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
Does this egl hack means open gl???
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Coming back on Alpha 5 by LorD ClockaN (previously linked by proxuser), I've decided to give it another try. Based on the tip given by Floatshow (that install script tries to format partition without unmounting them first) I've tried the following steps:

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Went to mount/storage and UNMOUNTED all that were shown as mounted (for me there were system, cache and sdcard)

3. Install ZIP from sdcard, choose the alfa 5 build

4. Reboot

This way I've installed it over previous b4r1 and I can say for now it has no reboots (could be due to the fact that I'm not using standard ICS Launcher but GO Launcher EX).

Some considerations:

1. Runs OK if OCed to 1500, I have it now running at 1300 and it's stable and phone does not heat so much.

2. The "USB Debugging" option is now persistent after a reboot

3. The menus and overall speed seems to be increased and I didn't find any lag (can be placebo effect as well:))

4. Gallery still has visual artifacts when cropping (for ex when setting the wallpaper)

5. Several apps were added, mainly Google+, Movies, Messenger (from Google) and also version of all apps are up to date (Market was 3.3.12, I've manually updated it to 3.4.4)

6. Carrier signal indicator and Mobile Data indicators seems to be fixed. Now I get the H symbol (before had only 3G) and also in "About phone" I get signal strength variations (before had all the time "0dBm, 97 asu")

7. DSP Manager is now included. Here is one question, I saw some topics related to the fact that DSP Manager was eating battery like hell on a CM ROM...could it be the same here? I saw that is running all the time. I'll see several days then I think I'll freeze it using Titanium (or disable through app setup)

8. New Music (4.0.9.509) is added. Some visual artifacts when pressing "back" from menus.

9. In Settings - Sound, new option to choose sound effects between MusicFX and DSP Manager.

10. In Settings - Display. new option "Android Dreams" allows to select some "screensavers" and the start time for them (also have option to preview)

11. WiFi seems to be more reliable, no more dropped link or weak signal/improper display of signal level.

Will post here if I find something more...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Flashed proxusers build with unmounted partitions also. Worked like it should and no issues till yet.

Nice work :)

[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
Sony Ericsson has released alpha ics for ray. It has same graphics like desire s. I hope this time we get real hw accel.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I think it won;t help much, there was a relese for Huawei Honor recently, which has adreno 205 too, but it didn't help much.

So we're all hoping for a Christmas gift from our beloved developers :D
[HTC Desire S] Rueben_:
It would be nice to see but I don't know if the community will get it, I am sure they are very busy with work/families etc. :)
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Yeah, it's a time for them to spend with their families and friends... they do this for free after all.
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Would be nice if they will phisicaly see some appreciation from us for Christmas :) some beers, bottles of Jack :) Merry Christmas to all devs and active members !!!
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
The proper ICS compatible adreno20x blobs need the kernel to be updated with extremely large changes. This is exceptionally difficult with HTC devices because HTC used non-standard code in the kernel.

I wouldn't expect to see full HW / EGL just yet.

I can't install alpha 5.

Even unmounting partitions, it seems the cache auto remount so I get status 1 error... Using 4EXT recovery.

Someone knows ?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I was using 4EXT as well, and i could unmount. Using recovery touch though

[HTC Desire S] Neoload:
I use the Rom for 2

weeks and is now only on

this, if I want to set a

background image its look crazy and destroit.i think its a Standard Problem or Not ? Does the Background Image Not shift with the movement of

the home screen ?

Sorry for my Bad english: D
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
The gallery visual artifacts when setting up/cropping photos to be set as wallpaper is known bug. Will be solved probably when real EGL/HW accel will be implemented.

The background is scrolling with the screens if you set it. I don't use the standard ICS launcher, but GO Launcher EX and I have the scrollable wallpaper.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Flash for ICS has been released! Looks like I found my new ROM!
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
I'll second that :P

where could you see that

i tried v5 but now way to install it

even by mounting and unmounting partition

P.S I am comming from 2.3.5 and sense 3.5rom

what can I do??
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Thanks guys for the donations :P

And yeah, fixing the lasts bugs getting harder :P but when i not making much progress, other people working on the issues too and we will can implement them too.

one of the guys making big stuff is shaky, that helped us lots all the way!
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
I am also struggling to install alpha 5 even following the unmount instructions etc.

Using 4EXT (non touch) and after trying to install i get a constant reboot of 4EXT GUI (not rebooting the entire phone).

The only way i found to rectify the problem was a reinstall of recovery via ADB and start from a clean install of Beta4r1

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Happy Holidays to everyone...
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I primarily use CM7, but I was very happy with 4r1. So when v5 apperared I decided to take a look. I restored 4r1, restarted and reboot back to recovery to wipe cachce/dalvik. Then unmounted was was mounted and flashed v5. Everything booted fine, however I found it a bit laggy and started to pop up some Chinese warning that something has been fc... now I'm again on CM7 but looking forward to see ICS on my device as it has nicer... everything... for example I like scrolling the text with finger in text field in browsers etc... :)
[HTC Desire S] blackpanther0582:

GO Launcher works ok. I'm using it since the first ICS beta without any problems. To enable wallpaper scrolling in it you should not do anything special, is enabled by default. You can find the setting by pressing Menu from homescreen, choose Preferences and in the Display Settings you'll find it.

Android 4.0.3 came out on the Nexus S , and I think the sources have been released. Just contains minor bugfixes , maybe someone could try to update the base for this ROM :)
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Has anyone been able to get the new Flash Player to work? Adobe updated it for ICS and I installed the apk but it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe browser doesn't work with plugins ?

Secondly, I found the Cyanogenmod 9 Launcher floating around the interwebs. It's still alpha so most of the special new features don't work but it's based on the stock and I like it - http://ubuntuone.com/1XcXRTUDFjrF2ZUJEPHdXI

@Devs, is there any progress update ? I'm not asking for ETA's or anything like that just wondering if there's been any recent progress/breakthroughs on the 2 big issues.

I have tried this ,but failed .:(

BTW, one developer in China has released one ics for g10 which has fixed the camera , and he has been working on ds. there will be one for ours in two days at most ,I think
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Took me quite some time to get it but ok now.

Great news about camera
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
http://115.com/file/dn8pnjnw

the link above is about the ics for g10 (not g12!!!!!) with functional camera , hope it helpful for anyone who needs it.

PS:for anyone who has problems with chinese. click the lick ,wait the countdown, then you will see 电信下载 联通下载 and 香港宽频下载 , select anyone you like , but 香港宽频下载 is greatly recommended for you guys out China.

attachment is the camera i abstracted from the rom, if you want , check it if works for our ds by flash it via recovery( do the flashable zip youself , i dont know how , sorry about that ) and i cant test it because im using sense 3.5 right now. the author said the camera is ported from htc original rom , maybe it means the original ics rom .:D

the most important thing is that i will post the link to download the rom for us asap when he releases it.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I don't know if the apk itself is the problem. I believe that the driver is the issue with the non working camera. I've replaced the included ICS apk with the one you have linked but it gives the same error "Cannot connect to camera". For the camera to work we need drivers that can access the hardware (camera in this case). Maybe the devs here can check the ROM you talked about (when it'll be available) and extract from there something. Though, if the chipset/hardware for our camera do not match the ones from G10, dunno how useful it'll be a compiled driver. Maybe if they release the sources also, there will be something to dig into...
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
That's also the problem with camera apps from the market. :(
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Of course...the driver is the layer that stands between the OS and hardware. All apps are using it. If it's not working, no camera apk will work either
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Isn't the g10 the desire HD? Maybe someone over there could flash it and see what happens
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
yes g10 is dhd
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
If dhd camera can be made to work using the g10 ROM, I'm gonna guess that's a good thing for our desire s too? Won't a working dhd camera mean the dhd has full working hw gpu?

btw, this chinese rom is a repack of our older dhd ics rom, camera is not working

I know we've had our differences in the past but this is very impressive work, good job to everyone involved, and congrats on the first pure AOSP ROM released on the Desire S =)

I can only hope people like the CM9 dev builds as much as they like your ICS work, right now I'm stuck getting the adreno libraries to actually load =P

has anyone tried this yet?
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Yeah is safe over 4r1

Yeah wiping cache worked fine here but android is upgrading took a long time. So flash away :)

Just thought I'd let you know that after the startup lag goes this rom is feeling faster. Still slightly glitchy Thanks m-deejay!

Android 4.0.3 is also feeling nicer
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
thanx to both...ok so if I understood I can flash it over beta 4r1 wiping cache and if i noticed some lags i just have to reboot right?

There will be some lag. Its still not complete. But if its really laggy then a reboot should fix.
