I'm pretty excited about the work and progress of MIUI's version of ICS

It's a work in progress, but I've found it to be a lot smoother than the other ICS roms I tried from Onecosmic and THS

Whats the advantages on ICS over GB.... Besides the over all look and platform...

I been wanting to flash ICS but i think ill wait for a more stable release

but for the rest who already have it

how is it so far??

:)
[Captivate General] nok6100:
Teamhacksungs ICS build 13 is what I am using now, and it is very stable. The main advantage for myself is the increased battery life, way better stock web browser, among other things, you should give it a try. (I have been using it since way back, like build 3, lol)

They updated today to build 14 but I don't see any improvements in it that are relevant for the way I use the phone, so I am going to skip 14 and see what happens with build 15.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate General] jayRokk:
Thnx :)

im on SauRom at the moment and i love how stable it is..

...oh is it OCd? and data and wifi are good right??

thnx for the answer

any help is appreciated

Flash back to stock first (I use kh3 one click with cwm) then flash teamhacksung Rom, let boot fully, flash gapps 7.1, reboot and enjoy.

You must flash back to stock gingerbread first cause u probably have voodoo enabled on ur file structure, therefore ics won't install.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Here is a link for kh3 Odin one click, with custom cwm (boogs kernel), this is what I use before flashing ics, works every time.

I have Odin3 1.7 .... do i sue that one or is there another one click??

sorry for the n00bish q's but when i rooted i did it the old fashion way lol

now everyone uses Odin or Heimdall...

just need guidence on what to use cuz im far from a n00b

(rooted G1&2, MT, MT3G, Nexus One, Droid 1&2, Fascinate, and finally now Captivate.) so i know the risk i run :) but thnx for the help!!:D

EDIT:

Got it i didnt know it was a single exe file... ran it

and now i have ICS thnx a bunch!!!
[Captivate General] nok6100:
Glad it worked out :) ics is like a totally different experience.

I can't go back to gingerbread after ics, lol. I also found cm7 (181) to be very stable too .

Just be sure before flashing custom roms, its a good idea to keep that one click handy due to differences in file structures, it avoids a lot of frustration. :)

I finally flashed CM build 13, then 14 when it came out the next night. Finally moved off Cognition. CM seems to be equal to Cognition in battery life & stability. UI is smoother & more responsive.

I'd say it's a worthy daily driver ROM at this point. No drama on the install like I was expecting, easier than most other ROMs I'd installed in fact.

I'm seeing some neg. comments about some of the ics roms. They say that after a few days the rom becomes slow and unresponsive. Any of you have this issue? I want to try it ics, but I rely on my phone for work and if it starts slowing down in the middle of the week, that would be bad. I'm considering the imui ics rom because I haven't read any negative comments of that kind, although I haven't read all the posts either. There are hundreds of pages for each rom, it's a bit overwhelming trying to make sense of it all

I've had ICS for a while now... no slow downs, no lags, nothing bad all all! Been using it as a daily driver and it amazes me everyday... sure there is small issues some people have but consider the fact its not considered a "stable" rom..

[Captivate General] AlaskanShade:
Love ICS, but a couple bugs so far

I really enjoy ICS, but a couple issues may cause me to switch roms. I frequently get the low space warning and that causes other issues like titanium backup to stall when restoring. Even worse, I have not yet been able to answer a call before it stopped ringing. The screen just doesn't respond until it is too late. Battery life seemed about the same as before for the first few days, but today it is dropping like a rock. It shut down after 8 hours on 3g with light usage. I am not sure what changed. I look forward to the next build.
[Captivate General] dreamliner77:
I have a quick question regarding modems for use with ICS (particularly ICSSGS 3.1RC). What modems can be flashed? Is it only CM7/ICS modems, or CM7/ICS, i9000 modems or will even i897 modems work? I'm a bit confused on what modems to try. The one in ICSSGS does not have the reception that I need. I had previously been on Serendipity 7 and that modem was better than this but still not as good as stock (reception wise).
[Captivate General] MDMonster:
So is either the video portion of the camera or google voice properly working yet? Not having those were the only things that made me go back. I loved it, but I use my cappy as a pmp and a camera, with G.Voice as the occasional way of calling people and people calling me.

PS- I can say from what time I did use the ICS ROM (a week or so) that it never slowed down. It was buttery smooth the entire time :D. I'd still be using it if it wasn't for the lack of camera and G.Voice... :(
[Captivate General] Gun Bunny:
The best to try is the CM7/ICS modems. I am currently using I9000 TUBJV6 for the captivate and it works great.

[Captivate General] eMiL112:
I'm using ICSSGS RC3.1. It's very smooth and stable for me. The only thing that makes me not satisfy is the browser. When I opened a website in desktop mode, it loads very slowly and blurs for a long time. I think this problem is due to the low RAM :( Hope some new versions can fix it.

I installed RC4 today. Couldn't feel anything because I faced the unacceptable problem: my captivate's wifi turned on and off continuosly. I had to flash back to RC3.1
[Captivate General] Gun Bunny:
Try Doc's ICS, no real flaws so far for me. Had troubles with the others, every phone is different.
[Captivate General] mike21pr:
Went from ICSSGS 3.1 to CM9 build 15 and im enjoying it more IMO specially with Nova Launcher. Im still planning on flashing RC4.x when wifi is fixed. That changelog is too good to pass up
[Captivate General] Chesminty:
The top on is CyanogenMod (Or will be) while the bottom one is plain ICS.

The bottom one is supposedly more stable but I've had issues with it and the devs seem far less experienced at this than the teamhacksung guys so I've recently switched from RC3.1 to teamhacksung's build15. (Mostly due to wiping data for no reason on the other one without providing an option)
[Captivate General] jayRokk:
Download ICS Browser+ ....

ICS is pretty stable... I've haven't had one problem whatsoever.

I been using it since RC3 .RC4 has Wi-Fi issues

But if you want a successful flash

First flash cm7

Then flash a kernel

(Platypus or Glitch)

Then flash the rom

Remember to wipe between each flash (even with kernel)

Flashed ICSSGS RC4.1 yesterday. Wifi issue has gone. The browser is now better than RC3.1 but I feel a bit laggy on this ROM :( Not a big problem so I will continue using this Rom until the next release. Many thanks to the devs :D
[Captivate General] capocaccia:
I flashed this rom this morning as well and have yet to run into a single problem. Its amazing fast and incredibly good looking! If you feel like the stock browser is slow try the Google Chrome Beta. That browser seems to be doing really well on my phone even in the Beta version. I havent noticed hardly any lag at all on this rom. Maybe a delay here and there opening different apps but that has to do with the programming of the app as well. I highly recommend this ROM due to its huge support community and stability.
[Captivate General] eMiL112:
I installed Chrome beta several hours ago and yes, I'm pretty impressed with it, fast and smooth. Specially the way Chrome beta loads a web page in desktop mode: when I double-tap zoomed, all the pics are at the center of the screen, just like viewing on iPhone or a PC. Just one thing I found that this browser runs a bit slowly on startup and typing webpage.

I'm also using ICS browser+ thanks to jayRokk and it's better than the default browser as well.

I was using RC3 until for some reason my recovery failed so I switched to TeamHacksung CM9 Alpha 15 and have been a happy little Droid since
[Captivate General] doolam:
I upgraded to RC4.1 from GB stock ROM (KK4) with Samurai's kernel and had no issues. The script ran clean the first time.

LOVE the ROM. It's like having a brand new phone again.

Here's my constructive feedback in general:

Major:

- The battery efficiency has noticeably reduced. I've tweaked all the sync and background apps, but still see it drain faster than the GB stock ROM. Where I was previouly at ~70% at the end of the day, I'm now at ~40%. I'll give Voltage Control a try to see if that helps.

Very Minor:

- Swype keyboard is gone. May have been a Samsung add-on, not sure, but I prefer it over the hunt & peck keyboards.

- Bookmark list in the browser can only be viewed as icons. I preferred being able to switch to a "list view"

Otherwise, I'm very very pleased.
[Captivate General] djaypresley:
I keep trying to flash its to mine but I can't get a computer to read my phone being linked. I even tried dropping it to my internal sd & use rom manager with no results. So I changed the name to update.zip and flash it in recovery.

[Captivate General] El Niche:
Good to know. Im currently in KK4 and Im almost about to make the jump, although I hope I can get acceptable battery life. Do you see yourself going back to GB? Besides that, what other pros do you see? Thanks for your input
[Captivate General] doolam:
Unless something drastically goes wrong, I don't see myself going back to GB. I stalked the dev threads until I felt it was "safe" enough for me to jump and so far I don't regret it.

You need to personally weigh upgrading with the fact that it is a dev ROM in release client. It gets better & better with each release, but there will be some quirks. I waited for 4.1 as 4.0 had major wifi issues, for example.

But, here's some of the things I like about ICS:

* open screen has the option to add custom text now (for example: "if found, call"). Previously I had to use a custom app for that

* the look & feel is much nicer, from the icons used to the way the calendar displays to the sms messages pulling in the contacts pictures. some personal preference here, but i like it

* the apps list now includes a separate widget section that shows a visual display of the widgets. so, you get a much better view of what the widget will actually look like before even placing it

* folder grouping of icons now uses one of the apps in the grouping as an icon instead of the old-school folder icon.

* the data usage option under settings has a nifty graph to view your data use, as well as much better controls on limiting your data use if you have a limited data plan

Those are the big ones I can think of... plus it's the latest greatest :cool:
[Captivate General] Gun Bunny:
Like I said before, you have got to try Doc's. I have tried other ICS rooms, and his is the smoothest!

Went back to stock, CM7, then ICS. If you read through the thread, you find few complaints, and a lot of people happy with it.
[Captivate General] LBCaptivate:
How do you use the folder grouping? Can you creat a folder on one of the home screens and put direct dial contacts in it?
[Captivate General] doolam:
Long touch one of the icons and then drag/drop onto another. The icon you drag onto will be the icon for the folder.

Yes. Create direct dial contact widgets on the home screen. Then long touch one and drag/drop onto another.

I agree 100% I read through must of the threads, and there are more issues with other ics roms than there are with docs. People are very passionate about supporting vibranturk.

I just did a google search for "swype 3.26 apk" and came across a site that had links for download.

I couldn't get it from official swype beta site so this was next best thing. Hope this works for you
[Captivate General] doolam:
Thanks for the follow up. I was able to get it from beta.Swype.com/android without any issues.
[Captivate General] eppo37:
Same here. I got into the Swype beta months ago when I first started flashing ROMs. I just googled "Swype" and went straight to the official website. At the time I had to request access to the beta, and wait for them to send me an invite (which thankfully only took about a day).

It looks way easier now. Go to the Swype website. There is a big link on the page to "Get Swype". The link takes you to a page with instructions on how to check and see if Swype is already installed on your phone. There is a link towards the bottom of the page to download the beta. Not sure if it's as simple as just downloading and installing, but it looks that way.

One warning for you, I had some issues with my phone a while back and I decided to move back to a stock ROM while I was troubleshooting. If you go back to a stock ROM, the Swype beta will not install on your phone. If you try you will just get a message telling you that it's already installed. The only reason I mention it is because I lost some functionality. Evidently the beta includes some features that are still left out of the official releases. Just an FYI.
[Captivate General] bbtiger:
Yeah... ICS ROM is working good and stable for me except what you said. I don't use camera much from my cappy (or use it as your snap shot only). The only complaint so far that I have is the ICS modem and I tried several without having good download speed from ATT HSPA+ network. I used to get consistently over 3Mb/s (where I live) but I now get less than 1.5Mb/s:(. Other than that, everything seems to work great.

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 AM ----------

I noticed that when I first flashed THS ROM, the battery seems to drain faster than the GB stock ROM too. I checked the battery status and noticed that the Mediaserver is going nut (over 35% most of the time) without doing anything. Did some research and I used Titanium to freeze the following applications,

1. CMStats

2. DRM Protected Content Storage

3. DSPManager

4. Music (I use Rockbox instead

5. Music Visualization

The battery now seems to last much better:) It gets me through the day and I think it lasts as good or better than the previous GB ROM (down to 70% vs 30%)

Give it a try.

I found some options in data usage, but it still has background data on if wifi is connected, which I don't want.
