i enabled Kernel Samepage Merging, and built everthing with Os

no measurements but subjectively it feels like apps crash less.

very noticeable with Browser
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
I have AT&T and have had no problems with wifi.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] antEris:
I'd venture to guess your problems are a conflict with your router and the wifi driver. Not your isp. Have you tried your og droid with a differnt access point? You might also try restarting your router to see if that helps.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Thanks Ah Billion!!!!

you basically have everything now,:good: wifi tethering works via apps like wifi beta and open garden, but I know your talking rom native. Wifi generally kills my battery in 6 hours anyway, with cm7 and the cm9, well if I'm using it that is. Anyways can't wait to test this build!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
Looking forward to the new build and my battery last me almost 36 hrs on standby
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Well...

I do have mine overclocked to 1.2ghz and the min frequency set to 550mhz...(and of course wifi on lol...)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
any idea how long until a new build is up?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 600914:
its somewhere here on the forums i don't remember but its hacked to run on non samsung devices
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] WillisD:
Rule #1 never ask for ETA'S lol
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
Exactly, every time you ask for an eta a cute little kitten dies a horrible show painful death...

So don't be a kitten killer, don't ask for etas
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
We gotta learn the hard way

Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
x3
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
lol just wondering. im excited haha
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
We're All Excited!!!!

I'm excited as well, with the wifi drivers and firmware updated, this build may not give me the problems the previous 2 did!! Were all anxious to flash his new build but

he's not done with it yet. He's probably trying to fix multiple things free more memory or do a bit of testing himself before releasing it to us. I know he gets tired of all the frequent updates that "we" love. So I'm guessing he's trying to "get it right" and for that I don't care how long it takes... thus no asking of a ETA from me. I'm just glad he's still working on it, and the longer it is before a release the better the chance there's nothing/not much wrong with it and plenty/some important fixes...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
good point..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Don't quite get it...

I download motomizer, but how do I change vm...? where do I go...?

:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
build 6/20

what's the best app killer...?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
None...app killers are not good and make your phone lag more, android is designed to keep apps in memory
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
I meant task killer is it the same...?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
i use advanced task killer and it works great
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:

...enough said
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] donhwyo:
Thanks!!!!

WOW!! I forgot how nice my old droid was, at least the size and feel and if it worked this good I might not have upgraded to a gnex. It's not activated anymore but wifi seems to work just fine on the 6/20 build.

Seems quite a few of us have non activated phones. Is there a way to uninstall the cell parts of the build to conserve resources? I have data turned off and airplane mode but it has probably still got stuff in memory. Not sure how to check that.

The battery is way over 2 years old and was not this good when it was new and stock. Maybe because the cell is off but it is connected to my asterisk server by wifi.

Anyway thanks for all the hard work on this!!!!!

Don
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
I use super one box for a task killer for my ghost keyboard on my fassy

Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] WillisD:
I haven't used a task killer in forever, and the only one I did ever have was the built in one on the fascinate which was gone within two hours of buying a phone, you don't need them at all
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
How about swapper2?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Task killers are not the topic of this thread. Please.

I only keep stressing it because it is WAY too long for the n00b readers as it is.

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
Do you still use fassy I am and need a task killer with my rom

Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] androidlearner:
I agree with teddy on this one. Please keep the thread on topic (not task killers). If I hadn't been keeping up with thread from day one I wouldn't want to read through a bunch of posts not related to ICS.

Back on topic. Been running this for a couple days and loving it! Upgraded to the Razr do I wouldn't lose unlimited data and never expected OG to get ICS before it! :thumbup::D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
lol i just got a email form google saying welcome to your galaxy nexus
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
odd...fix permissions broke connectivity for me...no data, and no cell signal
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hijackerjack:
if you go back a couple pages, i have a video from the 3rd build or so. from the 21st.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] durandgir:
so is it just me or does after flashing the gapps does the performance go way down hill? I was getting force closes with everything and hardcore lag, albiet this is still pre alpha I was just not expecting such a downhill in performance that quickly
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] crzayalex:
flashed the new build and after 1 reboot, i lost signal. is there anyway to regain signal?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
exactly my issue...easy solution? dont reboot lmao
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] crzayalex:
hahaha so you gotta flash the new build and the gapps in the same recovery?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] infernox51:
I should be getting one of those soon! Just got off the telephone with VZW and they bumped my upgrade date to today. WIN!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
dam i got to wait til the 2nd till i can upgrade
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] norsedakotan:
At least you CAN upgrade, work says $250 (after NE2 discount) is TOO MUCH for a phone... Basically it sounds like they are trying to push all our smartphone users to that one apple device I won't name here...

Sadly, even as a network/systems admin, I have no say over it. Oh well. Keep up the work on this ROM, it's been fun to play with, even though I don't expect it to be a solid every day ROM. It'll tide me over until prices drop (I hope!). :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
i have to admit the gnex is really pricey
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] elfurbe:
Flashed the new build and the more recent of the posted gapps. I did a factory reset and all before I installed. My current issues are:

Setup Wizard crashes at first boot, pops up the "choose app for action" with SetupWizard and Trebuchet, choosing SetupWizard just crashes it again, Trebuchet launches fine.

Home button doesn't work again

Market now force-closes when I try to install anything, and once it force closes, it force closes on successive launches sometimes, but sometimes loads. Very unpredictable. Clearing data makes it work again reliably, but attempting an install sends it back to same state.

After reboot I also have no signal, but definitely did on first boot. I also ran the fix_permissions you indicated. It did a bunch of stuff, seemed to finish cleanly.

On the plus side, I installed SetCPU and Root Explorer by hand and bumping the clock to 800 and changing to interactive seems to help responsiveness a lot. Root Explorer works perfectly. Also, I'm not getting nearly as many Trebuchet fcs, but many of my priors were after hitting the Home button which isn't working so who knows.

Thanks for all the effort and the regular updates. Lots of developers are so cagey about their pre-alpha builds, I appreciate seeing the progression and hopefully being able to help by reporting issues.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] infernox51:
I just made my own custom build - market is working. bars are blue. stand by for link.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bmx24:
standing by
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
as for setup wizard use the gapps in post 99 on page 10 i believe...the other one installs setup wizard to /data too which doesnt seem to work
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] infernox51:
we are close!

http://db.tt/HOed16ye

--Market works

--Bars go blue like they should

--Phone audio is still non existent from what I can tell

--added a file manager

--i recommend getting setcpu to OC to 800

--Dalvik is at 56m - go ahead and lower that a little if you want. moderate level of overkill.

--I also recommend ADW EX

--SetupWizard was asking me to connect to Wifi by default - may want to be near some initially.

enjoy! no idea how long that dropbox link will work for!

All credit goes to kfazz - all i did was copy/paste stuff.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] durandgir:
so many builds popping up 0.o well i've run into two weird bugs. so on inferno's build usb detected is constantly up even when I do not have it plugged in. and secondly I lost service because I had to reboot and that is on both builds
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MK17:
The boot animation is gone :(

Oh well. I'll report on everything else in a bit.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] infernox51:
Yea I pulled a lot of stuff. Wasn't sure how much space I was going to need haha
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MK17:
-Rebooted and did not loose data

-First time I installed it it tried to activate my phone which didn't work. Another flash later and it went through setup without a force close

-Things seem a bit slower but a lot more works

-Location in location based apps don't work (beautiful widgets, maps, etc...)

-Caps Lock on the keyboard doesn't work (in any build yet)

-Apps say they need to be updated, when you update them they just say they need to be updated.

All I can think of for now...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Don, you could look into the cyanogenmod wiki for a 'barebones' system to see what you might delete, and then experiment more with deleting some of the other 'phone' specific .apk's in the rom with 7zip before flashing, but it would probably be a crap shoot. It _might_ be cleaner if you could build it your self from source and edit the proper .mk files to exclude some of the unwanted packages in ~/packages/apps

good luck, but tread VERY carefully, i.e. make lots of backups and expect lots of boot loops.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
You could just delete the apps from /system/app folder using ADB or android terminal. I've deleted the phone.apk and it stopped the activate wizard from popping up.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peeyourownpants:
I'd be interested in the groove ip inactivated wifi phone as basically a landline. So I think in line with Don, it would be cool to take out the cellular software that is searching for networks and leave wifi calling software intact.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Is there any way to partition the SD card and use some of it as additional internal storage for apps? thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
Yeah, you can use rom manager to make an ext3 partition on your sdcard and the use the app link2sd to install apps there just like it was internal storage
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Off topic but why go to all that trouble when you can move alot of your apps to the sdcard anyways within the OS. But if you want to research this more, please, there are tons of other threads to do it in.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
Actually this isnt too far off topic since im sure the ics port uses a lot of /data app storage in order to fit everything in so link2sd is a good idea...btw the native os app2sd is horrible and really slows the phone down and has many disadvantages over the link2sd style apps2sd (like link2sd can use apps on the sdcard while its mounted to a pc while the native cannot, link2sd is faster after a reboot since it doesnt have to wait for the sdcard to be checked and mounted like the native one, etc...)

Dont be too much of a stickler for keeping the thread 100% on topic it puts people off from posting anything here, i agree if it gets out of hand (like an entire page or 2 off topic then yes, but 2 posts? thats just fine)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JeffDenver:
Well I installed this. And it is pretty cool. Animations are a little choppy, but more consistent. So even though it doesn't look as smooth as GB + Launcherpro, it is easier to use in a lot of ways. I am using Nova Launcher now and the animation speed it a bit better.

GPS is not working but I think this is because I do not have Cell access on this phone. I thought the Droid 1 had "real" GPS, but apparently it just has the faked GPS where they use wifi nodes and cell towers to simulate it.

Camera app does work, but crashes when you take a picture.

GrooveIP does work, but not well (might be app settings or that my wifi sucks). Voices are legible though. Just sounds like you are underwater. I can make calls on my phone-with-no-serve with just GrooveIP and Google Voice.

Google Maps works awesome. Dolphin HD Browser works awesome.

I am just tickled pink that I am running ICS on my Ancient Droid 1. This is so damn cool. I can't believe they shoehorned this thing into the Droid 1's teeny-tiny 256 megs of RAM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
The Droid 1 actually has a GPS. When I first got it, I tested the GPS out before I activated the phone. It worked. The only problem was that the map couldn't load beyond a certain point, due to not data.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
I am not sure if I posted this yet or not, but. . . .

On my 'clean' (including format /system) install of the 6/23 build even when I set the camera to 4m/panorama, I still had a black picture. Upon restoring to my CM 7.2 GB the file was not to be found, i.e., probably another 0 byte file. Though this could still be considered a YMMV since when I did above flash the play store kept restoring my apps and I let it.

I hope kfazz can find some of the actual input in this thread useful should he continue to perfect this project.

Thanx kfazz!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Nate456:
Ok guys don't wanna steal any of Kfazz's thunder but I'm trying to port AOKP but for it to stop bootlooping it needs 2 emd files (LMprec_508.emd and PFFprec_600.emd) that should be in the system/media folder but they're not. So if anyone knows where to look please say something. Kfazz, if its not a problem, could you please include them in the next release.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
Those files are part of mediaeffects, cm9 inclued them via vendor/cm I think.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
Camera is working, pano pretty much too, camcorder fails on initing hw codecs, seems to be dsp related.

Two sets of libs: omapzoom version: decoders need ion, attempting to add to kernel

Omap3-compat: decoders need to be updated for ics (Ithink) not working either.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
Almost right, i think...they are needed for video camera special effects and/or facelock...not entirely sure which but they shouldnt really be necessary to boot a rom since many gnex roms have extras with the camera effects/facelock or a link to the gapps that include the needed files for those...

the only issue with not having them i could see is if you had everything else needed for facelock and camera effect built in but not those 2 files

i can post an extras zip with all the files for facelock/camera effects if you want them (should work considering the same files are in a gapps package)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Nate456:
That would be great.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
The DSP issue is also there on the milestone build (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445209). However, video recording seems to work even though its not smooth. Since both devices are very similar, could anything from that build help out? Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 600914:
just delete the facelock.apk and those two files in the rom.

i got Miui V4 to boot without these files
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
what device are you porting it to...?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
successfully captured a video with camcorder using hw encoders.

on playback i noticed its overlayed with some nice diagonal green lines :/

edit: gren lines aren't real, they play fine on my computer. this is probably due to lack of HW dec.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
just wondering...

It may be a stupid question, I don't know... but is the virtual keyboard working in your current test build...?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
Hmm actually I just noticed they are in the actual rom file but here are the 2 files plus the facelock and video effects zip

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
yes. it was the lid switch detection that was backwards making it not show up on my 6/23 build.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
Great and as soon as you feel its ready for us we are here waiting lol
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
Hey Nate...

I've been working on the AOKP port for a while actually, when time permits. Haven't had much luck with kfazz's android_device_motorola_sholes repo since it seems to be tailored to build with CM source as far as I could tell so far. I have gotten a successful build by using source from Cush2Push, and it will boot. Once booted up though the laucher FC's all the time, so I've looked into some permission changes that kfazz had made.

I don't think I've run into the problem that you are having above however.

Good to see someone else is working on this too. Good Luck on getting that build working.

Kfazz thanks for the updates on your testing. Glad to see progress is being made! Looking forward to your next build.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
new build in op, link: http://www.mediafire.com/?68n46cz040xdosd

cexec.out is missing from the build, camcorder won't work atm

http://www.mediafire.com/file/484vat546o9ey5w/cexec.out

place in /system/bin

run:

busybox chmod +x /system/bin/cexec.out

from a shell

reboot and it should work
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
Thanks kfazz!!! Downloaded and pushed to my deactivated OG for testing.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
great thanks do we have to flash gapps?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
yes
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
YES!!! THANKS. Installing. :D

Also, is the GPS issue fixable? thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
ok i figured that lol alright be installing as soon as phone charges
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
Looks like more than cexec got left out. Imll post a fixed build tomorrow
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
so dont update it yet?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
From what I've tested things seem to work as good if not better than the 6/20 build so far...

kfazz thanks and don't rush I'm sure we'll all be here lurking until you get things fixed up... :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
Im still having camera issues not saving unless i use panarama
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] donhwyo:
Hi

mgross029 Thanks for the tip about deleting the Phone.apk . It does not to seem to be causing any issues (only testing it today so far).

I should have asked how to see the memory usage before and after. LOL So what would be the best approach? What do I really want to measure? Top is there on the cli but it is not really readable. Maybe I need a better terminal program or maybe logcat?

Anyway if I get some suggestions I will post the results before & after the next update.

Don
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] imanol01:

Wifi on CM9

I cant get my Wifi to work for anything any help?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] myfishbear:
yeh i had the same problem but i loaded some files from the 2nd build and it works for me now it was the ect wifi folder
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
Anyone else having issues with the camera or is it just me im still getting the black pictures
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Just Asking...

They say it never hurt to ask so... here goes... If at all possible(don't know if how much if any work is needed) could you re-add the 6/20 kernel or upload it as a downloadable zip file as with it you can safely overclock this rom to 1200mhz with milestoneoverclock.apk but you can't with the 7/02 kernel. Also I've tried to add the official cyanogenmod 9 boot screen but sometimes it's just black(on some of your builds) if you can add it to the rom I'm sure many would appreciate it!! Either way thanks for the new build!!!!

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Sorry I can't test it as my sd cards are not always mounted at boot... haven't got one mounted yet... as soon as it reads my sd card and I can't test it the camera I'll post my results/findings...

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

did you do a clean install...? if not try a clean install. I've had wifi problems with the other two builds but not this one...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:
Navigation Buttons

Hey Kfazz could you add the onscreen navigation buttons to the rom as a hide show thing
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
Working fine here

Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil TABLET
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
camera is working fine for you?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
The only time I had problems with wifi was when I flashed the kernel kfazz previously posted. You DO NOT need to flash that kernel. Had some other funky things happening after that too.

Camera seemed to work ok for me just camcorder wouldn't stop recording for me then crashednto home screen.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
see im having other issues my camera is taking pictures but they are black and the camcorder is working but recording black only and flash dont work
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:
Thanks Mgross029
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
hows the ram use on the new build?
