Superb work

Okay, so I hopped onto this ROM from Affinity day before yesterday and the experience has been very satisfactory. Great work from the Virtuous team and thanks for making me and others with the Incredible S stay on top with the latest releases :)

I do face some crashes but it might be due to incompatible apps. Some points I'd like to run through others to see if I am the only one facing them:

1. android.process.media FCs randomly - even when not using any music/video player. I have had this many times.

2. Some text rendering issues in some apps (Dropbox, SMS app). I have changed the font to Ubuntu but the same fonts render perfectly on previous Android releases.

3. Battery drain - compared to previous non ICS ROMs (Affinity, ARHD), I feel my battery is lasting a lot lesser. Though I must admit that I am probably using my phone much more since I am playing around with it a lot more to get a feel of ICS.

I wonder what might be the cause, I have auto-sync turned off as well. Is it possible that keeping auto-brightness on (due to backlight issue) is one of the causes?

Overall, I think this ROM is well on its way to be the one with daily use :)

Thanks to the Virtuous team once more!

@ddic: Might I ask the tweak you mentioned works on CM7.1 or not? I'm currently on Sense rom because of the volume issue but I really wanna go back to CM.
[HTC Incredible S] ddic:
As it is mentioned in the original thread, check if you have the TPA2051_CFG.csv file under /etc. This tweak should work if you have a similar file to this one. But I think you'll know only after you'll put CM7.1 again on your device! Do a nand backup before and try! :)
[HTC Incredible S] pclaci:
I have the same problem... :(

I was flashed boot.img with fastboot.exe, but it is not helped...
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
need more aggressive memory management..

the apps that were idling arent closed. just now my ram was down to 30mb left and only then i found out they were never closed when i exited them
[HTC Incredible S] katu2006:
Just awesome...

After 2 days of using RC1, I'd like to show the non-believers what this Rom can do.

With Wifi, BT always on, with some calls, browsing and LOTS of push exchange e-mails, I still managed to get around 40h battery life.

Now, I don't have to mention the amazing pure ICS interface, that you don't get from a Miui rom. I was actually considering getting a Google Phone, but now...what's the point?

Once again, congrats on an extraordinary Rom, Virtuous team!
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
No everything was on stock. The rest of the rom is really fast so I think it is just a launcher issue.

Anyway it is a great rom and I saw a video with a galaxy nexus and the launcher on that was also laggy. Nova launcher is a lot faster but I lost more battery so I went back to trebuchet laucnher :)
[HTC Incredible S] cypis:
GPS works fine here, just tested with GPS Test app.
[HTC Incredible S] maestro29:
Really strange. In my case no gps app works. Just testes with gps test app and also nothing. Strange...

Will flash it again. Do I need another radio? Cause I didnt do anything extra besides flashing the rom
[HTC Incredible S] cypis:
Im using that radio http://tinyurl.com/cjd7z38 ;)
[HTC Incredible S] maestro29:
Im using the same radio. The strange thing is that gps works fine with another rom (was using bindroid before) but with this rom I cant get it working. Will give it a try another day.

Anyway thanx for the input.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I have the same issue as well no GPS lock and therefore no weather information :) Won't cause me to stop using the ROM but I figured that I'd note I have the same issue.
[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
seriously good work to everyone involved :) I'm loving the look of ICS on the incredible... sharp and responsive. Won't be using it daily due to the lack of camera drivers but will be looking forward to further developments.

one thing miss in not work status is the soft button not rotate :p

Great work cypis :D

Can someone link to beta9? Cannot press the download link since xda app won't let me do it when it is in a quote...

but working GPS... How do I not use the RIL files as mentioned??

UPDATE: hmmm fooled around a bit and disabled and enabled GPS and then reboot and it seems to be working now?? Weird but give it a shot :)
[HTC Incredible S] unknown2011:
GPS did work for me. But Wi-Fi is not that responsible..

for me the launcher feels quite responsive. my inc s si not overcloked and minfree is set to 75mb.

is there anymway the devs can add more settings to the launcher?

i would love to have a scrollable dock with two or three rows.
[HTC Incredible S] Silas_:
Absolutely great rom, I flashed Rc2 as an update.

Today I got an update from nova launcher, beta 13, now with infinite scroll!

I prefer this launcher since 3 days. It should be the default launcher.

[HTC Incredible S] ankanb:
Worked great for me. The default max volume was audibly lower than in Sense. Now its at the same level. Thanks for this :)
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
The scrolling of the pages is very smooth but when you first open up the app draw it lags but when you open it up again soon after its fine.
[HTC Incredible S] mmaster12:
on R2 native camera not work. it forseclosed.
[HTC Incredible S] ddic:
Great! Maybe somehow, might be included directly in the ROM in the next release!

P.S. Bluetooth is working also for me. It was a local issue! ;)
[HTC Incredible S] hasafa_m:
i just installed the rom thr rc2 but the wifi and gps and data is not working what is the solution

Try flash boot.img using adb cause my phone also same situation like yours..

I succeed to boot after flashing the boot.img using adb.

Seems that it is working. I just activated it and find the network on my laptop.
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
well not sure whether it's only me or every1 else faces this.

on random occasions, there'll be a reboot. im not sure what's causing it..
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
I just read in another quattro thread that it seems it may be people who unlocked with htcdev.com are the ones getting boot loop. Hmm very interesting.
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
I'm 22 hours in, no reboots yet.. only thing is pretty fast battery drain, notice I left it on full charge then went to sleep. Woke up with 77% in 6 hours.

Not a big issue, maybe a few more cycles till battery cycled.
[HTC Incredible S] cjward23:
That guy wasn't experiencing a bootloop.. His device is stuck on the splash screen because he is a noob and obviously did not read up on how to flash his device correctly. I'm assuming the vast majority of people are aware you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot if you use htcdev.com.
[HTC Incredible S] josalvmo:
I can't replace original TPA2051_CFG.csv file, it says is read only. Anyone who can help remove this property?
[HTC Incredible S] zeroRyuki:
anyone,do u experienced no icon for headset appear when u plug in the earphone?
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Ahh cool, at least that is a simple fix. There been any progress in figuring why some of the flashers can't boot in? I'm still curious as to what is causing it, noticed it in both forums.
[HTC Incredible S] cjward23:
There is no headphone icon on ICS
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
stupid question :

how do i change input method? lol i cant seem to figure it out.

tried googling and cant find any. i held down any text boxes but the blue pointer was the thing that came up, nothing to let me select different keyboards. google says a notification about keyboard detected and want to switch bla bla bla would pop out but there isnt any for me lol. any idea?? @@

my stock keyboard seems to act weirdly. sometimes letters A, K, L, and backspace wont respond..

edit : found it! stupid me lol. in case somebody doesnt know how.. hold down space. and u'll see ur inputs. (i know some of you dont know how lol, took me 1 hour to solve this)
[HTC Incredible S] josalvmo:
You are correct, I do not.. seems to be a bug here.

Hey just thought I'd share my opinion on this..

It's the first ICS rom I've tried except the early galnet miui one and I have to say that tbh I'm really not feeling this at all...

In all seriousness cm7 blows this away in terms of performance. For example scrolling in most windows doesn't work properly, it only scrolls about one screens worth no matter how much you flick. Camera doesn't work properly (but I won't hold that against it as I know no ICS cameras do) and why are the confirm and cancel buttons flipped around? I realise that those are ICS in general downfalls, but overall I find the performance very very poor compared to cm7. Typing right now with SwiftKey is even laggy and the swipe to delete gesture doesn't work?

I don't know - I'm really not trying to be a troll here and I do appreciate that there's so much work and effort goes into these roms but imo this is still pretty far from release and I don't understand how people can say it's near perfect, what rom did they use before??

Just to reiterate I do appreciate developers immensely, and I can't wait to see how this rom progresses, but for me it has a long way to go

PS typing is really frustratingly laggy and that's with the phone overclocked to 1.5ghz...

EDIT just realised the hardware buttons rotate, that's a very nice plus
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
controlling my urge to rage as i type this. okay first off, ics has just begun to appear and rc2 is already a huge leap towards a final build. and how many ics phones are there in the market now? ONLY ONE. GALAXY NEXUS. and how do u expect it to match up with cm7? which is across thousands of devices already? how? tell me how? well, since there's only currently one phone in the world that runs a stock ics. how many apps do u think are updated to work correctly with ics? if u post this in 2013 i'd be surprised if ics cant match up to cm7.

your comparison here is like comparing a budding flower to a full grown pine tree. dude seriously, if you want to compare, at least wait until when there's more ics phones in the market. htc edge hasn't even been released yet and we already have ics on our incredible s. dont you think we're lucky? so instead of complaining, why dont you go back to your cm7 and stop whining like a b**ch since ics is not up to your "HIGH" standard.

sorry if i was being vulgar. i just cant stand comments like this. comments like this proves that you dont know how to differentiate between a new rom and a rom that's already been on the go for very long.

ps: as a answer to the bolded part, we say this rom is near perfect because, being at such a young age, it's running without problems in terms of basic and normal use. without the inclusion of external apps. the way u say "what roms were they using before this" is definitely an insult because i can simply say this rom sucks and arhd is way better. and people are expecting new roms every minute. do you really want the devs to wait until march to release the perfect working rom? perfect? yeah perfect because somewhere in march htc might release a leak of their ics base. and do understand this build is based on galaxy nexus's dump and nothing else.

Can anyone give me a break and stop telling me to look at the first page?

I am looking for a link to download this ROM for HTC Desire HD. I downloaded one about 2 weeks ago but it aborted during the flash. I am hoping that there is someone here tonight that can provide an actual "click" link so I can download this zip file and actually experience the problems everyone has posted over the 100 so pages. Just a link is all I am asking. Anyone?? Virtous Quattro RC2 ..... as of January 20th

sorry but im new to this ....how to flash the boot.img manually?
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
do you have fastboot in your pc?

if yes,

reboot ur device into bootloader, then select fastboot. if it's right, a letter saying FASTBOOT USB will appear highlighted in red.

ok now open cmd

if your fastboot folder is on ur desktop then do this : (u can name the folder anything. just make sure it has fastboot.exe and the boot.img u want to flash in the same folder)

(the yen symbol is because i have japanese locale running on my machine)

now , your phone is already in fastboot usb mode right? ok type :

once it's done, it will say SUCCESS. and the time taken.

Thanks from my side! :)
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Just had my first reboot after 24hrs, I know what caused it. Seems rotation is a bit buggy.

Was playing with landscape orientation and turned auto rotate off to try texting. After switching back to portrait mode it gave me a blank screen where I could only view what's in the statusbar but couldnt open anything.

I timed out screen to see if it would come back after wake, then it rebooted.

thank you ,but it telling me <waiting for device>

the phone is conected and showing fastboot usb in red ??

Reply to shiningarmor a few posts earlier on previous page:

Thanks, but this works for me only when I switch from Android keyboard to other keyboards that I have installed, not the way around. So there must be a better way to switch between keyboards regardless which keyboard is active.
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
on other keyboards, you have to find the settings key and long press it. as for the "keyboard from android 2.3", it's the little power button like key at the bottom left. all keyboards have different setting key..

@shiningarmour

No need to rage, friend.

I'm not asking for another rom pushed out in no time.

CM7 sets the standard for performance on IS IMO, what I am saying is that this is a million miles from it.

If that is your definition of "perfect" you should probably invest in an Oxford dictionary. Based on to current state, this rom may well be "good enough" to release for you and many others, but it sure isn't for me.

I would have happily waited 6 months if it meant this rom performed somewhere close to CM7.

You should see someone about that nerd rage though.

PS you "can't stand posts like this"? Tell me, what kind of posts are those? The truth?

New or not, I'm giving my opinion on the rom as I see it. I think if you stfu and get off your high horse, it's pretty hard to argue with anything that I actually said.
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
Ouch! Does it really matter for the awesome developers and a heck lot of people using ICS that it is not good enough for you? ;)

relax bro.

I'm fairly certain it doesn't.

Doesn't make me any less entitled to my opinion, though.

[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
I too have issues with ICS. Lack of support for non Google pc sync for calendar & contacts, and the rendering of this ROM on certain aops & games, as also the lack of a functional camera (still & video, front & main). That doesn't give me the right to shoot my mouth off and belittle the efforts of the dev team that brought you and all of us, this wonderful, evolving and constantly improving ROM. My advice to you is to show some respect and not shoot your mouth off. If you have an issue, say it with grace and all will be OK. Got it?

[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Did you forget that CM7.0.0 was buggy? lockups, restarts, web layout bug, GPS bug, light sensor?

And it took March - November (7+ months) before it was the final release?

....Oh yeah... :rolleyes:

I'm really thankful for the virtuous team, without them I can't enjoy ICS unless I bought a Galaxy Nexus. I'm already enjoying it without one right now and I don't have any second thoughts of getting a GN.

I never said I don't appreciate their work, in fact I said 2 or 3 times how much I appreciate the effort that goes in to these.

Yeah it took cm7 along time to come out so no wonder its so good
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
EXACTLY!!! CM7 is not even close to this ROM IMO :)

if it's not buttery smooth and running well, it's something you did installing it and nor the ROM. Runs like a dream for me, Great work all around, it's been at least a year since I last used CM7... Never felt the need to go back. DOn't get me wrong CM7 is a great ROM for some people, but this is much much better... IMO :)

Great job AGAIN devs :D RC2 is smoother and faster in any means .... but the battery is the same if not worse and there is still a memory leak of some sort, cause in 4-5 hours the memory is down to 250 from 390MB .... And from Beta 2 till now I'm using the same apps, configured exactly the same way... And I changed to Go Launcher and deleted the Trebuchet ... Anybody using Go Launcher and having a mem leak ? Because that's the only thing I can think of.

About the camera - the default app is not working with me, but Camera Zoom FX is making superb photos without the smudge on the top, but flash is not working still - not that the camera can make good photos at night ... :D

Can't wait to try RC3 to see how much better it is....

P.S. FOR THE USERS - I'm using SetCPU instead of the default built in function and it's much better, and I'm Overclocked up to 1459MHz - no problems what so ever!:rolleyes: In test it's working @1766MHz and the phone scores 2711@ Quadrant and 51,16MFLOPS@ Linpack pro..... I think that's pretty great :)

the bolded parts are where you're wrong yourself. you never read what i wrote at all.

The camera is not working.... is that a known issue? I just get a FC all the time or sometimes a black screen on the app.

[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
@djbennie:

Yes you are right cm7 is currently more stable and optimized. Its working excelent and does what it have 2 do, you wrote a pretty decent revieuw about your findings with this rom, which is good imho. But this is a thread about quatro, not a "i find this or that rom better" thread, there we have a general section for. Its still the development forum.

@rest dont go flaming and shout at the guy who gives a negative feedback in a respectfull way. Yes this rom is very very good, but its still a work in progress. So its his opinion, you dont like his opinion, dont throw your opinion as absolute truth as well, it just clutters the thread and frankly gives the dev a reason to stop reading at all.

Im not acusing anyone of anything but its the main reason why most devs stop posting there stuff here...

Furthermore can we keep the topic on topic?

Keep up the good work, currently its the most favorite rom i ever used. Very stable, with every now and then a hickup, but thats probably the launchers fault. Having trouble to find bugs that are not already posted hh.
