You have no issues with restoring Data in advanced restore? I thought the agreed "best practice" method counted this as a no-no?

/data holds the apps but not solely that. /datadata holds the data for all apps including the system apps.

Doing a factory reset followed by a restore /data equals formatting caches and /datadata.

Not wiping anything is preferred, the upgrade process is designed to be like that. Otherwise I would recommend a factory reset + TB restore all user apps with their data.

Because you can, that is Cyanogenmod! I use it because I have a widget on my homescreen with a better looking clock, why have two?

Taptalked u see
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wogfella:
lol because you can right back at you!

I prefer to be able to see the time when wasting it surfing the net on the train etc. Can't do that with a homescreen widget, so I prefer the clock in the statusbar.

Issues with Google apps

I've been having issues with Gmail and Gtalk in particular.

Gmail doesn't retrieve mail and doesn't update the inbox even when I manually refresh but my Exchange mail account just works fine. Gtalk doesn't even sign in while other chat clients work just fine.

Anyone else have this issue? Any solutions?

I have tried wiping data and cache and flashing the build and Gapps and the fixer but even that didn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Besthiroeu:
Hello guys, currently I'm on b15 with stock kernel and without other modifications.

I'm having battery drains on every ICS rom so far (I've been using them for a month now). Problem is that I can't get near 4h screen on, so I guess drain is real. Screen brightness is on ~30%.

Now about that, in sync I have only 2 google accs and friendcaster for a fb contacts but I disabled all of its notifications/sync stuff. Only once a day contacts sync.

From widgets I have minimalistic text and simple calendar. Besides that 3 stock Google widgets: Power Control, Search and that Weather.

Using Go Launcher if that matters aswell.

Does anyone knows maybe how to track battery consumption and find out what drains it? Of course battery usage from settings shows nothing strange. (AOS is high but that's visual bug I guess)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wolfboy1984:
Go to system settings> battery.

Its probably your media though. It's a common issue. Or your battery stats need clearing? and you need a good few charges. Do you have battery calibration from market?

Search the thread first, there are plenty of posts on this...

I treated myself to a 2340mah battery at Christmas - instead of standard 1500mah. I get 12 hours minimum. Music, videos, games, screen on loads. Its quite unbelievable how long it lasts...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Besthiroeu:

I thought we were all over the Battery calibration malarky? (See https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT)

Anyways, flashed flashed Build 15 from CM7 for the first time. Had some strange rebooting loop issue on first flash. Had to pull battery; but on reflashing, it was fine.

Browsing is significantly smoother

Roboto font is clearer

New Gallery is faster, easier to use and shows larger thumbnails

New screen transitions are nicer and smoother

Cant wait for the CM9 Music Player (currently still the 2.3 Music app)

Really impressed with it so far, some problems that affect me personally:

1. "Unfortunately, Music has stopped"

2. Viber not yet compatible T.T

3. Applying own Wallpaper still leads to degradation in image quality? Can anyone confirm, or is it my image?

Anyone having problems with downloaded widgets not appearing in the Widget Menu? Happens to me with Minimalistic Text and Battstatts.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Besthiroeu:
Add Widget -> Minimalistic text 4x1 (hor) -> Predefined layout -> Custom... -> Custom layout -> Remove this boxes (hold on them, then drag them to bin) -> Go to green "+" and from "Clock" tab add "Minute" and others.

Too many questions?

I have a SGS with CM7.1, do I get an improvement with this alpha? Or should I wait for a beta/final release?

The battery drain is equal to CM7.1?

Any important issue to avoid this mod?

Is Onecosmic RC3.1 better at this stage?

Thank you all for your answers :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazevxi:
1. Depends what you define or mean by improvement! I loved 7.1 but love 9 a lot more. Only thing is you can experience slow transfer speeds (1mb - 2mb/s) so that's always a consideration. However, I haven't experienced any major problems with the build.

2. The battery life seems a lot better for me then CM7, though it could just be early days.

3. I would check the thread itself to see the known bugs. If any apply to you/are deal breakers, you could make your decision easier. Possible USB transfer speed could be one thing to consider.

4. I've not had so much use of RC 3.1, so I can't fully answer it, but check the bugs / known errors. Maybe someone can answer this in better detail.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rootax:
hello there.

I'm on b15 now and the only thing I don't like is the «look». I mean for exemple the sms and mail apps are very white, even the menus, while others and the os itself are more blue/grey. GB was darker and my eyes like it better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Besthiroeu:
Because these are Google apps and Google decided to theme them like this. You can wait for theme releases here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
Then either go back to GB or wait for the Theme Chooser to be activated in the next few builds. The look you are talking about is not unique to Cm9, this is the ICS style called Holo which is universal on all ICS devices.

Want to learn more? Check at http://developer.android.com/design/index.html or http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
So this is a Stock browser issue and thus has nothing to do with CM9? (Typical Google! :( lol)

I've noticed a few quirks/bugs with the Browser too: On the full XDA site, if you swipe someones post leftwards, it would slide the whole content <div> to the left obscuring the post, as if it were a scrollable box, rather than shift your view to the right,... strangeness :rolleyes:

I was hoping the Browser would be on the level that Chrome is on the desktop.

Can't believe someone doesn't like the Holo theme. I thought it was quite possibly the best thing that happened to Android, along with GPU accelerated UI. Now for the App developers to stop hacking up Android's UI API (damn you Viber and Whatsapp) and take on the new design guidelines.

More gripes:

1. Gmail synced contact images are blurry (Feel free to "star" the bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3870)

I do believe this is false. I flashed a new Gingerbread bootloader with Odin after putting my phone into download mode using 3-button recovery. Heimdall uses the same protocols as Odin, so there shouldn't be a problem.

I think the bootloop is from tweaks to the kernel that aren't compatible with the ICS port just yet. Just as I found out earlier this week when I tried to flash Zach's kernel and wound up in an endless bootloop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zatta:
Must have been the last thing. Odin can't be used for anything else than bootloaders beacause of the different partitioning, Heimdal can handle kernels but I wouldn't know if it can handle zImage files, I use it to flash boot.img files (but only as en emergency measure after flashing a non-working kernel and lost recovery, it is not my natural behaviour..)

No, it should be named Q&A thread for Teamhacksung ICS. The current name doesn't really make sense, I would prefer the same setup as we have for CM7: a development thread for bugreports and a Q&A thread (in genera)l for the more noobisch questions en non-development related chitchat about mods and whatever. And now this one already excists it doesn't make sense to open an other q&a thread.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zatta:
Random offset isn't called Random offset for nothing. It is a normal part op the upgrade proces :)

About your problem, for cm7 there is the so called "responsible pedestrian method" for upgrading. Most steps are not nesessairy but don't harm and can prevent problems like you are facing:

reboot recovery

format /system (yes, you can, it will be replaced by the new build

wipe /cache and dalvic cache

flash build

flash gapps

wipe /cache and dalvic again

fix permissions (under advanced)

reboot

About your data, did you check your apn's?

This probably should be posted in the dev thread but I cant post there yet.

I have searched both this and the dev thread and haven't found a mention of it yet

The output from my accelerometers I believe are incorrect, in that the full working range is not used.

From what I can see the X accelerometer goes from -90 to 90 degrees when it should go from -180 to 180.

This first showed up when I tried to play the gt racing game. (works fine on my friends phone with stock JVT).

The problem in the game was I could only turn right.

Testing the accelerometers on the calibration screen showed -90degrees when held in the landscape position (or 90 if held the other way up)

If you rotate away from landscape (towards portrait) the angle decreases by the same amount in both directions. (value should continue to increase to -180 then loop around to 180 when rotated to upside down)

Tilting the phone between on its edge and flat on the table also changes the horizontal value when it shouldn't.

I have tested the output from a program called 'accelerometer values' which shows the accelerometers are reporting the correct values in g, so the problem is with how these values get converted into a orientation

Currently using build 9, about to flash to build 10 and test again.

Edit - Testing with a program called orientation log shows correct values so it is probably the game calling the api wrong

Hey bro I read your post about modding the vm value. I think it is not as easy as we think.

If you look carefully, in ics build we actually have 3 lines of code about vm in build.prop, comparing to all the previous gingerbread and froyo builds we only had 1 line. This already can tell us that ics has a slightly different mechanism of utilizing the dalvik vm.

There must be a reason why we have to set vm to 128MB, I looked into galaxy nexus's build.prop before and their vm=256MB. Since they have 1GB of ram and we are only half of that size.....I guess 128 is actually kinda make sense?.....

But right now I set it to 64MB, I know ics needs more ram, 48 may not be enough. For me 64 is better, 128 has more FC. 64 none so far.

OK guys, can you help me with this?

On samsung roms, there was an excellent feature in the messaging app, that allowed you to write a text message using special characters (like ą, ę, ć, ż in poland) but would send the text using standard ascii characters, replacing for example ą with a, ę with e, etc.

This was amazing for me, because I could use Swype (that uses my special characters), but also save money, because without any special characters, the message won't be encoded in utf8, thus giving me more letters to use, thus sending 1 message instead splitting it into two or more.

My question is, could I achieve the same using this ROM?

I would like to stick with Swype, but I'm ready to switch to a different messaging app that can do this.

Even better, if this could be somehow added to the stock app, because it's sexy ICS looking!

EDIT FOR CLARITY: I'm using swype beta without any problems, I just need the functionality in the messaging app described above.
