[Galaxy S I9000 General] EldonP:
Disclaimer: I do not recommend trying this. This is just me documenting a bad idea, mostly to get my post count up so I can start contributing to Pawit's ICS thread.

Purpose:

Document installing Pawitp's ICS release 10 over Cyanogen nightly 181 WITHOUT a wipe. Mostly just to avoid reinstalling all my apps, SMS's etc.. and to see how badly this could go.

Background:

I have been using Pawitp's ICS since the first release and upgrading with each new release. Sometimes with a full wipe, sometimes not. I was on a stable version 9 when 10 was released so i installed V10 and had a very good experience with it. I was not having any FC's, superuser was working and generally everything worked well except the browser was extremely laggy. So on a slow Sunday afternoon I thought I'd do a full wipe and reinstall V10 to see how the browser worked like that. After the factory restore and reinstall I started getting FC's and my superuser was not functioning. I played with it for a bit but eventually wound up restoring a backup of Cyanogen nightly 181 as I needed my phone working again at that time.

What I've done so far:

From Cyanogen nightly 181 I rebooted into CWM recovery, chose "install .zip from SD card", and installed Pawitp's V10. Then I installed gapps v5.3. Then rebooted the phone. (As mentioned, I did not wipe anything, not even the cache.)

The phone rebooted with 2 issues:

1) The process android.process.media FC's a lot, then eventually stops

2) The clock process FC's occasionally.

I rebooted to recovery, cleared the cache and restarted and still have the above problems. (I will work on these shortly, for now I want to see what all works.)

What is working:

1) All apps are still installed

2) Tried google earth and it still functions

3) Wifi still works and all connections are still remembered

4) Gmail upgraded and works.

5) Bluetooth turns on. I don't have any devices to test connecting to but my previous pairings are still listed.

6) Mobile Data turned off. (This is a documented bug in V10)

7) All settings work except going into sounds causes more media server FC's. It looks like this is maybe caused by my sounds being set to Cyanogen sounds that no longer exist?

8) In Accounts -> Sync, setting the browser to sync caused the error "sync is currently experiencing problems"

9) SU apps are still allowed SU rights.

10) UI still seems smooth like butter.

11) Receiving SMS worked and a sound played (and vibrated) but caused the media server crash. SMS's were kept from Cyanogen install.

12) Notification lights work (menu and back buttons light when receiving text etc.)

13) GTalk -When logging in I get the media server crash, then gtalk closes.

Now to work on the clock and media server FC's. If I figure out how to work those out I'll come back and post. If you want to know if anything works that I haven't listed let me know. If you have any thoughts on the android.process.media please let me know. (I've already cleared the cache in CWM, force stopped the media process and cleared its cache.)

Edit 1:

Clock FC fixed by finding the clock in Manage Apps, force stopping it, then clearing its data. This also deleted my alarms.

Edit 2:

Added bookmark widget and selected to sync with my gmail account. This activated browser sync in my Accounts and Sync settings suffessfully.

Edit 3:

All done with no happy ending. Talk was working but no longer opens. Calendar sync is not functioning. Market is unable to download files due to an error. Gallery works but FC's when exiting. And I never could get the media scanner errors to stop. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
