What works for sure

-boots

-material acceleration

-wifi

-mic

-market

-sd card

- Alernative keyboard (Swiftkey X)

What doesn't

-superuser app FC

-gallery fc

what is disturbing :

- UI a bit laggy (would need o/c?)

- Camera not working

Great job, i'll keep on testing it this weekend!!

By prev comment I mean aosp :P
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Found it !!!

http://www.androidyeah.com/cool-app-miui-file-manager/

This is the one i mean, just gotta try to find it as an app.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Strangely I just rebooted and it's started working :)
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
and we have working 3D you guys are gods!!!!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
New release is out
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Another question re beta 3r1, is it just me or is there no option to sync the calendars from the default google account?
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
That ones not available as an app I wasted a lot time trying to find it I hope you don't do that too. Also tried to backup that when I was on miui and restored. But it always FC'd itself where my guess is that file manager is an integral part of miui os which depends on those specifoc rom libraries so it doesn't run on other roms not even on cyanogen at the first place on which miui is based on :-/ and that's all:p
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
Beta 3r2 already and also gallery and 3d so quickly fixed? Are you guys gonna make me flash this now??????

I have to read :(
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
awesome...

why is not possible found on the market twitter and facebook?
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
You guys are on fire!

Because both Facebook and Twitter have not made their apps ICS-compatible yet :(

Question (again): is no one else having problems

syncing Calendar

? :(
[HTC Desire S] mexicorn:
"Fixed USB mass storage" is solution for "Mount usb to can access on pc" from not working list? If so, then it's time to trim the list down. :)
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
the date should be upgraded... ;)
[HTC Desire S] dilip007:
beta 5 is working fine :D but only thing is not very useable as market keeps crashing when selecting app :( also if we go on camera from lockscreen the phone crashes and restarts. so i guess without the market im going to have to go back to sense :mad: also when trying to go into recovery from advanded power menu it wont work and experiencing little lags
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Just downloaded angry birds to test. Market working fine. Also advanced power menu couldn't be smoother here (like the new look btw). Not sure why camera is doing that. Should just take you to home screen

Edit: camera shortcut seems to be a quick reboot. Not sure if its supposed to do that.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Everything here seems to be fine although I don't think there is much change in wifi signal
[HTC Desire S] blackpanther0582:
Downloading Right now
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Great! You forgot the date super kid!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Had some issues with reboots but I'll see how stable is now.

The good news is that...Gallery visual artifacts (when cropping images to be set as wallpaper for ex) are gone. You can now select the wallpaper and crop it properly.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Setcpu doesn't seem to work?!
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
Good...have you wiped anything first? How did you flash it? :D (100th post)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Don't know about SetCPU...I've stopped using it long time ago. Now I use CPU Master for overclocking and I've used also Voltage Control
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Works OK here it's one of the first apps I check
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Didn't wipe anything just install zip from sd card then reboot wifi fix and camera then that's me sorted
[HTC Desire S] mdeejay:
rom has some issues with launcher...

update comming tomorrow..

cya.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
as always excellent work you Guy's are doing
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
What do you mean with "Wifi fix and camera"?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Anyone else facing problems with su? I made a clean install, cause when i tried to update, market didn't work. When i start titanium it first get stuck at waiting for root permissions, after that it just tells it that it doesn't get root permisions , even when i set automated respond to allow. Will add some logcat when i get home if it helps.

Check rom manager, @chainsdd tweeted a while ago that there was an update for su for 4.0.3

Sent from a phone that is not running ICS :(
[HTC Desire S] eujene:
Hmm. Anyone checked if Market is working? Mine is force closing every time.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
There does seem to be a problem with su
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Same problem, but its not the market. It's because (for some reason) the google accounts have been disabled & I cant find any way to add it again. As a result all Gapps that require a google account crash instantly.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Superkid, I saw you've updated the OP with link to beta 5...you should also put this "oMount usb to can access on pc" on the list of solved issues. It's still on the list with "not working" issues.

eujene, I have market 3.4.4 and it's giving FCs when I try to click on any application. Cleaning cache/data did not help :(

hyperdude111, I don't have any problems with the Google accounts. They sync ok, and I have them all there
[HTC Desire S] tarroyo:
Is flash working in this release?
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
i have the same problem with SU, still I can`t to have root permission... i have problems with titanium, clock sync....
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yes, I noticed the launcher drawer was laggy when opening, and FC.

It appears root apps aren't working for me at all!!
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
that's weird, I've lost all my google accounts and can't add them back so now all my gapps fc instantly. I'll try to reflash the setup wizard and add them through that.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Unfortunately doesn't work either, also tried rootexplorer, also stucks cause of the lack of getting root permisions.

Also can't update superuser itself, cause even there no root permissions are granted.

Here is the logcat when i try to start titanium, checked if the su binary is missing but it's there.

Oh but btw, everything else is working fine, maps got no more glitches and i got no fcs after a clean install, usb-debbuging is also shown like it should and mounting the sd at pc works also fine, the only thing i'm missing except root privilegs is the preferences menu of the launcher^^

And just one additional, at 4r1 and the alpha of proxuser worked su without problems.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Even though there's a lot of force closing I cannot get over how smooth the app drawer is. Can't wait to see true hardware acceleration ...
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Fixed my Gapps fc by reflashing an older different gapps package
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Not flashing beta5 as there are some issues in it, moreover m-deejay told he will fix it and upload it tomorrow. So i will wait

but i am curious as in the change log

"- Android 4.0.3 (IML74K)" is there and just want to know what good things come to us with this base ?
[HTC Desire S] ZaInT_:
So excited, can't use it until you get the camera working but big up so far!

ICS released for nexus s....
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
I meant only needed wifi fix and camera that was before I rebooted my phone twice and everything started to screw up
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
installed B5 over B4r1 and only cleared cache & dalvik cache

Google accounts, market, root explorer all working ok.

only thing i noticed so far is that preferences has gone from the settings menu so i cannot remove google search from the homescreen
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Fantastic work!
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
take launcher*.apk from beta4 and push to system/app

should work..
[HTC Desire S] alain.duchateau:
excellent work !!! many thx
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
i have only b5, could you share only launcher from b4?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
That is related to the Launcher in Lord Clockan's build not to ICS version. Follow proxuser instructions and you'll have the "preferences" menu back in Launcher

patko226 there is link for download beta4r1 in the first post of this topic. Or the one from Lord Clockan several pages before
[HTC Desire S] crwblyth:
All these builds are getting messy cause some fix something and some fix others and none of them are put together. Not digging at the devs, but a previous version of the beta 5 that had issues with install had the LED working with the torch apps etc. And this one doesn't.

Getting a little confusing! ;)

Good work though, guys!
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
love new features of 4.0.3. smart dialing as example ;)

good job google, superkid and mdj!!
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Are you saying they FINALLY added T9 in their dialer? :eek:

Thanks guys!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
My flash player was fine in b4r1 then stopped working in b5. Back to cm7...
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
yes i think :D maybe a feature of cm9 ? hehe
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I upgraded from Beta 4r1. My Google accounts dissapeared. so I flashed Google stuff, reentered accounts, but calendar app still fc.... :(
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Does v5 it come with gapps?

[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
who can confirm iff complex script rendering works perfectly on 4.0.3 ?

in 4.0.1 it was broken and I couldn't see bangla perfectly
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
Can anyone attach a picture of the Beta5R2?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
ALL ICS ROMs look the same. I don't understand such requests...there's nothing changed in the appearance. You have print screens attached on some posts in this topic.

Anyone noticed strange behavior with telephony on beta 5 r2? I have some strange things happening...phone looks ok, signal ok but I don't receive any phone calls neither SMS. When I try to call myself, I hear the calling tone but the phone does nothing. No call is shown on the display, no ringing tone, no nothing. Same with the SMS...i don't receive any, not even the receive confirmation for sent SMS, even if the SMS are received (I've checked that).

I'm using Call Master (blocking software) and I would like to know if it's related to this or to the new beta. Call Master was working OK on previous b4r1 or alpha 5 from Lord Clockan.

On the other hand, fixing the gallery visual artifacts when cropping, fixing USB to PC connection, the addition of T9 search in standard Android dialer are very nice additions. Great work...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Now all works great for me, except of one thing, sry^^

Google-Calendar-Syncronization is missing ;)

Everything else works great, no more glitches, even at 3d games, su is working and it's allover really smooth, thx for your hard work :)

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

About calls, i can't say yet, but sms work for me like ever, did you make a clean install or an "upgrade"?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Upgrade over Lord Clockan's alpha 5. It could be an issue with Call Master since the android version is now 4.0.3...I've asked also this in the apps official support topic. Just wanted to know if for the rest of you phone works as it should be. Since I'm at the office now and need the phone, I cannot afford to make tests and try to flash this again and disable Call Master and so on...I could miss some calls and that's not a good thing :) I'll wait till I finish work to start some more testing on this, meanwhile maybe I'll get some confirmations from you and also an answer from developer of Call Master
[HTC Desire S] x8h8kenan:
Why the kernal is not 3.0.8? Not Nexus S update 4.0.3 with a new 3.0.8 kernal.
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
I wiped data + cache, flashed Beta5R2, booted, not working. Flashed gapps-20111128, still not working.

Wiped data + cache, flashed Beta5R2 and immediately flashed gapps-20111128 and now it's working perfectly fine :)
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
so far everthing works fine on beta5r2 wifi could do with a boost buts seems to hold on better than in 4r1 video stutters quite a bit but other than that it's very fast and smooth:)

[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Wipe, Install the rom and afterwards flash the gapps should work, no restarts in between ;)
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
gapps 20111128 ?:confused:
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
doesn't work for me either....
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Try this package(gapps-ics-20111128.zip), it worked for me, if /cache and dalvik only doesn't work, try a full wipe.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
The market is not working. K click on a app and it says its not working
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Upgraded? Yes, i guess.

Make a full wipe flash the rom, if you want google-calendar flash the gapps-ics-20111128.zip after you flashed the rom (no reboot inbetween), restore your apps (no system data!!!!!) with titanium, done.
[HTC Desire S] mexicorn:
Google Calendar sync working here. Wipe all, install rom, install gapps 20111128, reboot, set up account, done.

Phase Beam live wallpaper not working.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Just a few notes on b5 (r1 & r2):

- Notification led is fixed

- dictionaries seem to be working out of the box

- T9 DIALER ROCKS!

i still wonder why unlocking the SIM after reboot or airplane mode takes that long? I can't do anything while it unlocks. The phone displays the unlock pin mask until it suddenly switches to home screen. In earlier versions the phone was usable after entering the pin.. bug or feature?

You can flash flemmards marketfix!! This fix works on my phone ;)

Because Im a lazy person here is the download link

[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
Hi. Sorry for stupid question.... But where is i can find 5r2 WITHOUT spyware Google Apps ???
[HTC Desire S] mexicorn:
I have that, too. And also launcher FC's sometimes.
[HTC Desire S] Rueben_:
Same problems FC on Launcher and very laggy sometimes also when holding down search button there is a audio problem for Google search audio thing. :p
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
it's not been on standby all the time but not exactly idle
[HTC Desire S] Neoload:
I´m a little bit confused :/

Wich gapps are now the best? :D

I think i can use Titanium Backup to restore my apps or?
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
The ones posted on page 106
[HTC Desire S] hippihippo:
Tried a full wipe install of b5r2, and flashed gapps before rebooting out of recovery. Didn't have much lag after it had started up. Though I kept getting market FCs. :(

Swyped from my Desire S somewhere in the British countryside.

EDIT: Tried full wipe ICS and gapps flash again and it worked. Wierd, but now the market works.

EDIT 2: Anyone else having issues with downloading already purchased apps from the market?
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Hi ,

Does the new feature when holding down the power button and you get the 3 new options where you can choose to go on silent vibrate etc.. did Google include that in 4.0.3 or was it a dev?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I think that's a new addition of ICS 4.0.3, along with the T9 dialer
[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
The flemmard-fix didn't work in my case.

Although I did a full wipe before installing I have the market fcs.

Also I think there is a problem with busybox. Can't use terminal properly (e.g. install command).

Root is not working for me. I used just the lastest beta, but didnt work.

Titanium back-up PRO cant restore apps, even without data. Only Titanium Back-up Free can restore apps, but i have too many to wait and tap so much the screen. I dont understand why Free is working and Pro not (i tried several PRO versions, that worked with other roms).

Market works if uninstall update, to 3.3.11.

Wait the Final version :)
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Market still not working after that fix
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Holy cows. It finally came, million thanks superkid.
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
Finally trying this out. Same issues as above. Market crash, launcher lag and crashes.

edit: OK wait. Uninstalling the market updates made it work again. ._.
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Oh ok now it doesn't work... also for me. Don't know why but the market updated
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Market it's updating because of the "Market Updater" service that is running. If you don't want this happen, either disable the updater in apps settings or "freeze" it with Titanium Backup (PRO version)
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
I see a lot of "thanks superkid" in this tread... and that's great, but what about m-deejay who is the real dev on this ICS ROM for the Desire S?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Did you take a look at the build in thanks counter, those who know the rules and followed this thread thanked him already ;) But however all others should also notice it, that's true^^ Sry for the OT.

The launcher is nice,but the musicplayer is extrem laggy...someone The same feeling?
[HTC Desire S] SKYPIRAT:
Little buglist of B5R2 clean installed:

- launcher FC

- Market FC

- Gallery laggy and FC

- shifted to the right wallpapers

- slow and laggy app drawer

- GSM module bug: no incoming calls and only silence when dialing. only fly mode on and off helps

- what I haven't faced yet

So, this upgrade is a great move back and can't be used as a daily ROM unfortunately...
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
no FC so far

just to mention it:

I had not a single FC so far! And my market is working fine too.

Also it's not more laggy than b4.

(installed b5r2 over b5r1 over b4 just with wiping cache)
[HTC Desire S] xd.bx:
Hey superkid :)

Just wanted to say, to you&mdeejay, congrats! and keep up the great work :)

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Great, looking forward to it :)
[HTC Desire S] campbs:
To get this working for a daily ROM for me I have done the following:

Upgraded over 4 and 5r1 wiping cache

Installed gapps-ics-20111128.zip - Which breaks Exchange Email

Extracted CalendarProvider.apk & Calendar.apk from mdj_ics_saga_beta_5R2.zip and installed them

Removed Exchange & Google Accounts

Re-added Exchange and Google Accounts

After this all was fine :)!

If you have two calendars in App drawer after this you can safely delete Calendar 4.0.1-212031 using titanium.

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] bsbharath1987:
I did a full wipe and installed this build. I did not flash any GApps over it. No launcher and market FCs. I downloaded Titanium from Market and restored my apps. The first boot had the wallpaper shifted to the right. But I applied some other wallpaper and it held well. Gallery is smooth and there are no artifacts while assigning a picture to a contact (previously while cropping the contact picture there were artifacts, now there are none.) Initially I found a lag when using the default Messaging app but after a reboot it's fine.

Thanks to devs and looking fwd to B6

Edit: The Google calendar sync doesn't seem to be working with the way I have flashed it. Not missing too much; exchange sync works fine.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Hm, i did it little easier and it works like it should including google calendar, exchange, ..., except of the above mentioned.

Full wipe -> flash 5r2 -> flash gapps-ics-20111128.zip -> reboot -> setup accounts at initial setup -> restore apps with titanium (no system data) -> done

Does the torch replace the recently used apps?

Cause i really liked this ^^

Also the ability to swype left or right to kill them.

No i dont thinks so

I think its like MIUI only on the lockscreen

Damn, i'm a mess xD, just read torch and long press home and got afraid, sry, next time i will read more exact :)

One picky preference, not too keen on the blue shade on the messaging icon..but I suppose I can adjust :D
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
No issues at all till yet, exchange, calendar, market,... working and it feels pretty smooth.

Just got one FC of launcher at interacting with calendar widget, but like i said just one time before and afterwards i could interact without issues, like ever great work :)

Edit: Ok had a second FC, looks like it's realted to the widgets, cause this time it happend while searching the installed widgets to place one, but somehow random, tried to reproduce it to give you logcat information, but couldn't get it down, sry.

Should I do a full wipe or can I only wipe cache and dalvik? What about gapps? Should I flash them? Anyway Mdeejay you're great....thanx for the hard work :D
