Sweet! There's hope after all!

Keep up all the good work man, you're doing an awesome job.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] The Race To Die:
this is crazy! ics on my og and gnex, never thought that would happen. thanks a lot for the early christmas present
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] durandgir:
Could someone please explain how I can keep service on a reboot? I added the lines to the .fstab file. is there something else special I have to do?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] juanono:
Well, thanks for your answer but since my laptop's wireless card is faulty, I need usb tethering...

Ok, so i have been out of the D1 and rooting and flashing game for awhile. My gf and i now have the razr. Im going to use her rooted D1 just as a spare mp3 player and something to cruise the internet on if my razr dies or anything. I would like to flash this new ICS rom but im not quite sure i know how. I saw the files on the first page of this thread..... but i kind of need some step by step instructions on what to do. SO if anybody would be kinda enough to help me out and walk me through this i would appreciate it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alienbiker99:
Its like installing any other rom using the posted .zip file. Its the basics and shouldn't be walked through on this thread, please search before asking.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] meishkov:
I read about those 5,1,0 radio options in the fstab or whatever, but how do you change the dalvik VM caches up to 60? So maps doesn't work either? Along with phone calls and the camera?

I'd like to have that as a daily driver as well, I remember awhile back there was some app or recovery or somethin where you could dual-boot up to like 6 different ROMs. Anybody remember that, probably close to a year ago? I couldn't find it anywhere, but I'd like to be able to just have to reboot and switch between my daily winner00 cm7 build and this alpha cm9 ics build to mess around with, instead of having to reboot and wipe/flash different partitions constantly, ya know. Amazing the OG still proves that it's as rock solid as the devs and community behind it!! Its the tank that can't be stopped.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] durandgir:
I believe you can edit the dalik VM in the build prop. so get like rom toolbox or something that allows you to get into the buildprop and edit it. did it work when you did the radio options it won't work for me
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cowsquad:
What radio baseband are you guys using?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] durandgir:
i'm using baseband C_01.43.01P

Mobile Network Problems

Great ROM! I love it! The only problem that i have with it is that i dont get any Mobile Network signal. i can use my Wifi but not the actual mobile network, so i have to go back to my previous ROM. Once fixed would love to use!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dillon610:
Anyone having trouble with Wifi? Mine keeps on but the actual data keeps going off after just a minute of turning on.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cowsquad:
I'm using that one too, and I don't have that problem. Did you wipe data and cache? Did you fix permissions?

Here, on Droid Forums
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] durandgir:
Yeah I wiped all 3 times in RZR then I wiped each option one more time each. and I didn't try fixing permissions. Normally that was the first thing I did before I rebooted. I might load this up again tonight and try fixing permissions
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hobbes105:
I think you are looking for Boot Manager by Init 2 Winit Apps. It's in the market.

Oops - didn't see that two posts above that KJW979 posted a link to this.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peeyourownpants:
got the jan-5 version flashed (initially had problems with UMS saying usb tether was working, which it still doesn't) with gapps (5) from OP. clearing market cache and data in app menu and rebooting solved (-101) download problem. love it. beer coming @kfazz. with gnex, i'm using it as alarm clock and mp3 player, and i would like to use it as a house phone with google voice and grooveip due to gnex needing to be on the charger between work and going out.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] philo_enyce:
first thing - thank you kfazz for putting this together, so fun to see ics on the og droid!

i'm having a few issues that may be of interest, hopefully some of them will be helpful to others as well:

phone facts/usage:

this phone is not connected to vz anymore, i'm using it as an alarm clock and media player.

i was last using pete's bb/gpa 19

ics install process:

flashed to the latest build (jan5) - install went well, no issues at all

flashing latest gapps left me with no market installed

tried a number of things to get it installed via apk, no luck

reflashed a few different things, even tried pruning out contacts/calendar/etc from the zip manually, no luck

fully reinstalled ics and tried the older gapps - numbered (5) - which managed to install with the market

initial things noted/done:

after i got titanium backup installed, i saw that the system rom had something like 40k free!

i used ti to move a bunch of apps from system to internal and ran through a few app installs, market was working, wifi wasn't a problem

i did notice that there seemed to be some issue with the google authentication side of things, market ran me through it twice, not sure why

current issue:

having gotten everything going, it now appears that the wifi is not working properly. i'm not 100% on when it stopped, but even though it is showing connected at good strength, i'm unable to get to anywhere - internet or local lan. it works for a few seconds/minute at boot, i used the market website to push down an app which started loading but never finished the download. Dillon610 posted about similar behavior yesterday. it's odd because it was working fine while i was doing the initial installation of apps and the like.

troubleshooting info:

here are the add on apps i've installed that touch network settings, maybe it's related (odd though, as i'm using them on my g-nex)

AdFree Android (BIGTINCAN.COM)

Airplane Mode Modifier (WPARAM)

i've tried wiping cache and dalvik cache from cwm recovery and using ti to freeze airplane mode modifier, no change.

that's all i can think of now, any help would be appreciated.

take care,

philo

Did you install a different kernel? That was the only thing that caused problems with wifi on my extra phone, i just reflashed the stock image with stock kernel and it worked no problem for me...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] PsYCoNUTS:
I agree with you. Plus this rom runs great as is. There is no need for a new kernel as of yet in this WIP. Unless you can solve the in call audio and camera malfunctions(are these a kernel issue?). I've ran this for a week on a secondary Droid. Accept for some minor bugs besides the main two this alpha works great.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] googlelover:
Its sad (or amazing) to say this is running on my extra droid much better than gingerbread ever did.. With the occasional hiccups of course.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] philo_enyce:
update on the wifi issue

i've narrowed the problem down somewhat, not sure what the root cause is, but i've got it working and can break it again reliably.

quick note for the folks who suggested the kernel, i'm using stock, no modifications there

what seems to be breaking things are UPnP apps. i've tried the following (both of which work on my g-nex):

BubbleUPnP - BUBBLESOFT

SoftMedia Player - FELIXLONG

i'm not 100% that this is related to the wifi being off from the get-go, but i had been playing with airplane mode/enabling-disabling cellular data since there's no reason for those to be on when i don't have a plan. at some point, clearing all those settings restored the wifi functionality. once i had it back, i tried launching the UPnP apps, neither could find any local servers and even after closing them, i had to toggle the wifi on/off to get network access for the other applications.

i used astro with smb to browse to my NAS, so i know the droid is on my LAN properly, it's pretty clearly an issue with how the UPnP app interacts with the OS.

let me know if i can answer any questions/test anything to help with this.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] podspi:
FYI, since it was mentioned a few posts back, this ROM does work great with BootManager. It is a bit slower (since it is running off the SD card), but overall runs well. One thing I noticed is that I could not get the ROM to install using ext4, but using ext2 it installs w/out a hitch.

Also, I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else (but with so many pages of posts I may have missed it), but bluetooth does work to pair, but still no call audio.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iskip2sk8:
My Experience

First flash: went fine, got sound after reboot without 3G enabled

ending calls sends phone into permanent airplane mode till reboot

second flash: calls didn't send phone into permanent airplane mode but no sound

tried 3g toggle trick, reboot and ended up with no signal

trying with bootmanager now and cant seem to get it boot past "M" logo even after navigating to update.zip

can anyone give me a rundown on what you did to compare to my steps to get it to work with bootmanger? :D

currently trying something i read where you have to restore it from a nandroid over a old install? either way eager for this rom!

EDIT: cant seem to boot into any secondary roms

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ashish Mathews:
Works great except for one big problem

I don't know if others have faced this problem. Maybe, its my unique situation thats causing it. The problem is that I do not have a market app installed when I flashed the latest build. I tried to find an apk online, but it wouldn't install. Should I flash an older version of gapps?

My unique situation is that my phone is currently in canada, and no longer operating on a plan. In fact, it is running on wifi only. Wifi works pretty well, but sometimes looses connection randomly for no apparent reason.

Everything else works great and I really appreciate you making this build for us.

Thank you
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] PsYCoNUTS:
Le

Read back about 4 to 5 pages there is a modified gapps that'll work.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cowsquad:
Any news on the audio on calls :o
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jahn28:
Can someone post the best build and the best gapps for this, with a list of what does[n't] work? Or maybe the page numbers?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] podspi:
Did you install using ext2 or ext4? I've found that only ext2 works.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] grikka:
awesome work guys!

quick question: have any of you tried any sip calls? or is the audio driver just all jacked up it wouldnt matter any?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] captainskyhawk90:
i have been since the earlier build and it works good. i use csipsimple/sipgate for calling and gv for texts only on wifi though since i dont have service on it
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cowsquad:
Is csipsimple an app
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] grikka:
awesome, no audio problems?

i use sipgate/gvcallback but i use the built in gingerbread sip login, i imagine that would work... and same here, i only use it on wifi
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cowsquad:
Sorry about this question. How do I use that sipgate apps. Do I have to have an account?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] grikka:
yeah you have to setup a sip account and have an app to access it, there are some tutorials about it all over

on a side note, im gonna begin testing this on my spare droid, should i be grabbing the rom and gapps links in the first post (the 1/5 dated ones?)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cowsquad:
Yes, the 5th
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peeyourownpants:
On page 52 metalspring posted gapps that have functioning market. So do older gapps labeled (5) in op. I couldn't get the latest gapps in op to run the market and i think kfazz said it has a busted vending.apk. but for both you've got to clear the market data and cache in the apps settings and reboot before you can download in the market. Otherwise you get (-101) error. I can't find who posted that solution originally but it works.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
idk about the market being broken in the latest gapps in the op, all i did to "fix" the one i posted was remove a few apps (maps being a big one) just use something like winrar to go into the zip and delete a couple system apps you dont need without extracting anything(i dont think maps works anyway?). Then it should flash just fine
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ozzie12:
...and all I did was to install without gapps, use my wireless to download astro file manager, use that to install root explorer, and use that to remove the boot image and some ringtones.

At that point I rebooted and installed the gapps and market was there.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] benwalburn:
Does wifi work? I didn't see anything that said it didn't, but mine doesn't.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cowsquad:
Really wifi works flawlessly on my droid
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] benwalburn:
I can't get it to start. If I open the menu that should display available networks and turn it on, it hangs on the starting dialogue endlessly.

If I turn it on from any other method, it just won't pick up any networks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
any chance you can get a logcat of trying to enable wifi?

and maybe a dmesg of teh system starting up and then turning wifi on?

current image is build against wpa_supplicant_6

ti gingerbread sdk uses v8 but it supposedly breaks tethering
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] benwalburn:
I'll see what I can do. I'll probably have it tomorrow

ext2, I'm using liquid gingerbread as the main rom. I even tried installing a standard rom in slot1 but no luck booting into it.

Which ginger? I'm running liquid's 3.2. No problems here.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] benwalburn:
I got a logcat of my wifi problem. Actually I did a few due to my paranoia and inexperience with logcat. I believe the first one is what you want, but I'm posting others just in case.

How do I repo sync cyanogen mod source code for the Droid
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peeyourownpants:
kfazz's response was to a question about 20111216b gapps which is the "latest" gapps in the OP.

with each of these gapps flashed, df showed me with 36-40kb system free, but there are half the system .apk's in gapps (5). so how does that work?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] glori2:
sorry oot.. just waiting more stability ics rom... hehehehee

... goodjob bro ...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
im not doubting kfazz's response, i just know that most have had success with the latest gapps by just removing a few system apps to free up space

as to your question, its probably the same way he drastically reduced the launcher size- by removing assets from the apk(s) that are completely unused on our droids...for example in the launcher app he removed assets that would only be used for a bigger screen and/or higher resolution i believe...it freed up something 5 MB

also im sure there are other ways to optimize apps to make them take up less space, and he could also have removed/added things to the /lib folder (which is actually /system/lib) and other similar folders
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Tisosview:
I'm hoping to load it this weekend. It will be a blast.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jahn28:
Hello All!

So I did flash the latest rom (from the first page, I assume?), and flashed the latest gapps (from metalspring). I didn't know what to do with that new kernal, so I tried to flash that too, but that was a fail :(

Anyways, I did what everyone else did, delete the market data to enable downloading.

So far, these are the things that DON'T WORK for me:

-Camera

-Phone Calling (I can make a phone call, but after a couple seconds, it says no service, which I have, and it goes back to the home screen, but it is still running. Then after the call, which the other person has to end, the speaker freaks out whenever I try to do something that has audio, either with clicking an icon, or volume. Anyone else experiencing this?)

-Google Voice (It works, but when I tried to "Make note to self", it wouldn't let me at the very end)

Everything seems fine to me. The rom is extremely smooth. I would make this my daily driver, but I do need my phone part to run well.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
the only kernel i saw posted was what kfazz posted for developers to compile and work on themselves
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jahn28:
mmm okay :D

But going back to my old rom sucks compared to this... lol, I just hope that this will be in beta stage soon! :D

Keep up the good work kfazz :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iskip2sk8:
Finally got BootManger to Boot this rom and others, had to put a bigger sdcard in apparently =P

is bootmanager supposed sync sms and stuff? EDIT: next BootManger Update will have sms sync and call sync apparently
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peeyourownpants:
so should i be concerned that i've only got ~40kb system free? it's been amazingly stable through my gym mp3 usage all week.

also, i've noticed the gallery has the same crashing issue in the multi-album view and multi-picture in-album view that i had with cm7.1. once i get to individual photos, there's no issue.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
yeah, only 40kb free can mean there wasnt enough space to flash everything that was supposed to in system which can lead to app issues
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nitrous9200:
I'm eagerly awaiting the next update...any news?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ozzie12:
My guess is this has hit the wall until a couple major hurdles are overcome.

It's so close too...I wish I was better equipped to help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dave Lister:
kfazz - Have you looked at the Milestone ICS port going on? Looking at the thread, it doesn't seem like they're having any audio issues. Maybe you can borrow something from it to get in-call audio working.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] znetroll:
Dave Lister, as a pre-Alpha-ICS-Milestone user I can reassure you that I have no problems whatsoever with audio - it's only the Camera and the keyboard backlight that don't work yet, plus I miss a lot of the CyanogenMod settings (like double-pressing the a/o/u/b key for an ä/ö/ü/ß or custom backlight levels), although it seems as though upstream decided to drop this from CM9 or rather mix them in with the 'regular' settings:

Anyway, good luck to you guys with the audio, hope both projects can benefit from each other!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kabaldan:
znetroll: The special keyboard features (e.g. the double/tripple press to enter alternate character and change to special national keycharmap on the fly) were never part of upstream CyanogenMod - it's a Milestone specific feature. As my solution is currently too device dependent, I've decided to not push it to CM gerrit review until I find the time to make it as generic as possible.

And I simply haven't found the time to re-implement it in CM9 yet - the input services are a bit different under ics and I want to implement it the most optimal way, therefore I need some time to study the ics code.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
so is the keyboard backlight not working in your port to the milestone then or was for a different milestone port? i dont know if you followed this thread too much as well but the keyboard backlight is working just fine here, maybe it can help?

oh and thanks for actually trying to port ics to milestone/droid when so many seemed to have already left it for newer devices or just gave up on their own attempts at porting ics
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dillon610:
Any news on an update?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] znetroll:
Hum, looks like I phrased it badly. With CyanogenMod Settings I meant all the settings I could make in CM7 for Milestone that don't exist in Stock Android - double keypress wouldn't make much sense in a keyboardless phone anyway ;)

When my exams are over, I'll try to gain some overview over the codebase and start with some easy stuff like i18n or something like that... I'd be glad to be able to help you (I study computer science in my fifth semester)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
I ll post an update after work. Not much new. Using kadlaban's gapps and bind-mounted /data/vendor to /system/vendor still working on audio/ radio issue, narrowed it down to audio policy hal. Still trying to fix hw accel. Still no camera, etc

No sound at all. Dspmanager and youtube crash and pandora skips forward to the next song indefinitely. Google music says " couldn't play track that you requested" for local mp3s. Selecting ringtone doesn't jingle with a new selection either. And calendar crashes. I'm back to jan5 and older gapps (5) from op.

yay...we have liftoff...my phone connects without wifi...:p

I just love progress...nice work bro!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alienbiker99:
looks like that rowboat:ics has added a HAL layer for omap3evm to it's git. I wonder if this can help our phone. Gonna try to add it and sync.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Spencisuar:
First off, this is absolutely wonderful work you have done!

I cant stand using any rom except this one, unless I need to make a call of course.

I really want to use the new rom and gaaps. However, how are we supposed to DL the gaaps with Megaupload down? Does anyone have a re-up?

On the Jan 5th build I noticed that after I installed the rom, flashed gaaps, and installed Google Voice i was able to make about 3 calls (one for about an hour) before I lost signal on reboot. Bummer. I just thought this was interesting that the problem, is non existent at times.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ozzie12:
Scroll down on the gapps download page...you'll find one that the gov hasn't shut down...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iskip2sk8:
My Experience with Update posted 1/22

I would give more details but I'm hesitant on running this over my main rom so I can't collect any test data

No sound

Signal/Data is persistent after reboots

WiFi doesn't Obtain IP address

using a Froyo/GB kernel allowed to overclock to higher speeds, don't know if it broke anything
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alienbiker99:
This build has become my daily driver, I gave up phone calls for the time being.

The kernel most likely broke wifi, which could be why its not working for you.
