Im hoping to get an update out tomorrow..., Should be a good/big release :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] sumkee:
Any big/huge/large update? HD Vid?:D

AR22 is so smooth tho.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yep :) , HD video playback, streaming video (ie Netflix..etc) all working ...plus using old audio libs, so mic support still works :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Awesome job! Way to go! And above all, thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
So this is what lord's surprise is... !

He said he's working some mthing with you, and this must be it! Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] xokeman:
so very exciting I love this!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
You didn't hear it from me :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] sebo1084:
Let me just say that my battery loves these builds. I tried CoreDroid for about an hour today and I literally watched the level count down. Thanks existz.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeF0209:
I don't think its my sim card, doesn't happen at all with MIUI or GB, and it doesn't happen all the time with ICS either... weird
[HTC Inspire 4G] tomburnes:
What is the difference between this ROM and IceColdSandwitch?

Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G

IceColdSandwitch v4.0.0
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zen-Dragon:
It's in the OP.

Read it.

Simple answer, this is from AOSP source and no CM stuff added.
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
yes, that's what im saying...

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

the name tells it all, AOSPx is as close to stock as we can, IceColdSandwhich is frozen version of android, i.e, modded ;) :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Skele Drew:
Thanks for pointing that out. But my main concern is getting the radio back...
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
As of right now there is no FM support., its a hardware/driver issue ..not sure how long before that gets fixed
[HTC Inspire 4G] oblivinated:
Disable multitouch in keyboard settings. Works fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lufis:
Man, battery life on this ROM is amazing. Let's see the iPhone handle 18 hours of normal usage and still have plenty of juice to go to bed with. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Quick question. I'm still new to rooting, and am curious to why inspiremod needs to be flashed as well?

P.S. I have CM7 on my phone right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Long live the king! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
So excited for AR23...whats the time frame you're thinkin ex?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
In settings>phone info, your phone would say Desire HD, but flashing the mod your phone will say Inspire 4G. That distinction helps when shopping in the market as certain apps aren't compatible with our Inspire. Also the GPS is set to North America helping aid in faster acquisition of GPS when needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Ok thanks. That is what i thought. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Also, Inspiremod fixes Tinny Audio fix.., without it sound does not function the way it should and will not sound good (ie during phone call).., so Inspiremod is required, not requested...

Looking at a few hours maybe (2-3),
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Is there a way to edit the build.prop to activate boot sounds?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Do you have an inspire or desire HD? If inspire, then flashing inspiremod tells your phone its an inspire not a desire HD, and also flashes the correct GPS config files.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Edit: sorry already answered :o
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Ha, it's cool. Thanks though. :P

Makes sense now. Haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
UPDATE

AR23:

Merged latest from AOSP master

Ace: Updated OMX permissions in uevent

DeleteDropTarget: Long-Hold To Uninstall

msm7x30-common: updated media_profiles.xml

vendor/aospx: Set BUILD_ID to release standards

framework: Telephony: Correct the typo in RIL.java

Avoid video buffers filling and flushing in SEEK state

libstagefright: Fix to free buffers properly in ERROR state

Fixed hardware video decoding (HD video, streaming video..etc)

framework: Tons of updates from CodeAurora for video playback

framework: ShutdownThread: Set property to indicate radio shutdown

ace: shutdown: Force modem file system sync as part of shutdown

NOTE:

There is now support for HD Video playback and Streaming video (ie Netflix).. However logcat will spam about OverlayLIB when playing video (only happens during video playback). Im still trying to figure out the fix for this, but 720p/1080p playback still works (tested from within Gallery), as well as Streaming video (Netflix)...so just ignore it for now.

http://code.google.com/p/aospx
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
you can put a short mp3 of your choosing into /system/media. Rename it android_audio.mp3 and place it in on your phone using a root capable file manager
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
I always appreciate how you lay out exactly what is changed in the technical terms.

Thanks :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
I did that and get no sound. I set permission to rw-r-r for both bootani and mp3.?

This worked for GB but can you confirm it working for ICS?
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
Flashing AR23 now... can u upload stock battery icons??? Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
Ex...i full intend to do so but for everyone's benefit would u suggest a full wipe?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Its always wise to do so. He won't be able to assist you as much if an issue comes up.

:)

I got your 10 char right here

Rocking Abso bacon...ics style
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I do on every release, usually takes me a few min after release to get it up...patience

Its not required, but usually a full wipe takes care of some random bugs..etc.., Also, if theres any issues that pop up, a full wipe is required before posting bug reports... That way its 110% confirmed that no 3rd party app, any data restored...etc..etc..is the cause.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Stock battery icons added to original release post for AR23..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23112553&postcount=1238
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Me too. We gotta admit, the man has a style! :D

Existz thanks a million for another great build!

AR23 flashed successfully, I will test the video playback now by treating myself with 1080p version of Tool's Vicarious music video! :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Thanks. So i've browsed around an have found a few Inspiremods, i think, but I don't know which one i am supposed to use with this rom. Any hints?
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
Why don't you try the one that's in the same place as the rom you downloaded? *First Post*
[HTC Inspire 4G] misterbbq:
liking it so far! getting little bluetooth dropouts in google music. anybody else experienced that at all?
[HTC Inspire 4G] adam5150:
So hd video is fixed now?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yes, it is :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
I noticed some drops myself when using Samsung HM3500. I did just get this headset/stereo headphone combo yesterday and today was the first day I tried it for music. I listened to music continuously for two hours, was interrupted by one phone call. (music paused correctly, running Google Music, songs playing offline) Maybe there were a couple split second drops, and one major break, about five seconds. Other than that, no real problems. I have yet to try it with a phone call, I didn't answer the call earlier. Telemarketers :mad:

I am still running AR19 but I will try it on AR23 when I have time to do a wipe and clean install.
[HTC Inspire 4G] adam5150:
Great job!!!!!!!!! I am on my way then.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Ok, this is weird...Isn't .mp4 supported by default in Android?

I've never used the gallery app to watch videos, always use MX Player, but now I tried to play a 720p .mp4 video straight from the gallery. The gallery doesn't even create a thumbnail for it, nor it displays the video name until I click on it to play and go to Details.

The problem is that the video doesn't play at all! It just sticks on Loading... and nothing happens. In MX it plays flawlessly.

P.S I installed AR23 with a full wipe.

EDIT: If I click it from a file manager it plays through the gallery app without problems. Only if I click it within the gallery it gets stuck to Loading...
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Has media scanner ran atleast once since the file has been on your sdcard? Ie. has it been on your sd since a reboot? or was it just added and then you tried? But give me a little bit and ill try a mp4.., ive tried a .m4v 720p vid the other day and worked fine selecting from Gallery, but I had to trigger media scanner before it was able to play (played fine from file manager..etc)
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Oh, snap. :P Haha. I'm apparently blind. Thanks. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
I always use SD Rescan app (a habit back from the days while I had a Froyo phone). The phone was restarted several times before I tried to play it (I even played this video several times through MX Player an hour ago).

And after I wrote my previous comment it just got weirder :) If you click the Loading progress circle it starts the video :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Ok, give me a little bit and ill try an mp4 (i know m4v plays fine), but also remember that this is just initial support for h/w video decoding, im sure theres going to be some weird bugs and theres things that still need fixed. But we got to start some where
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Sure, take your time, it's not an issue I can't live without it being sorted out, never use the gallery app to watch videos anyway. But I just noticed it and wanted to share it with you and the others to find out if there's a bug of some sort.

If you like I can upload the exact video somewhere for you to try with that one (it's around 70 megs).

Let me know
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yea, if you want.., then just PM me the link. Its also possible that its really nothing to do with h/w video decoding, but more an issue with Gallery.. I know some had issues with it showing/not showing certain things, could just be another Gallery bug with video.. But yea if i have the exact same video i can try it myself and see what it does, and ill also try a mp4 of my own and see what goes on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
This maybe random and im almost betting the answer is no but hey its worth a shot...would the cm music app work with this rom...i know this is and aosp rom not cm based.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lilmikey201:
theres a new camera out its called Camera ICS+..it has all the features of ICS that can be installed on pre ics devices.will this work fully on the rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
I use the CM Music app with this ROM from day 1 I started using AospX. Just use a file manager that has root explorer, go to /system/app and delete the stock Music.apk and place CM Music in it (just make sure you rename it to Music.apk). After that change the permissions to rw-r--r-- as the others and reboot.

Cheers

Ok existz, you can check your PM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
I don't know if it is me or not, but when I reboot I get a message that says the clock has stopped working. But it still seems to function, only thing i can't touch is the alarms, also, i keep getting a google apps error too, but they are still running fine as well, it seems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
You should probably re-do a clean install (wipe data/factory reset).. this is not normal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
ok, i don't need to re-do backups again do I? Since i did it before i installed the rom this time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
What you can do is, 1) make a backup in recovery, just in case...2) then do a full wipe and reinstall just only the rom (don't restore any apps or anything yet).. then see if the problem continues right after a clean install..if it does not, then continue to restore your apps, etc (do not restore any system data), one at a time.. This way you can tell if it happens with the rom ONLY, or if its something in your app restore process
[HTC Inspire 4G] toysoldierq:
Just login to say thanks for this pure feeling of ics no cm mods no addons my god if i meet u in person i would shake ur hand great work loving the rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
aight, i'll try that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Seems to be working now. Thanks. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dhtlarmon:
Existz, you are THE man. Bleeding edge ROMs and as bug free as it gets? Mad props to you. Congrats on HD video.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
idk if its been mentioned but it seems every time i connect usb to computer and transfer files then disconnect i lose my home screen widget.
[HTC Inspire 4G] adam5150:
Exists sorry if I misspelled but just wanted to let you know that the camera ics app that someone was talking about earlier in the thread works excellent. Just a blank screen at first then snap and it starts working kinda like when y'all started building this rom. Maybe something to look into
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Which widget is it? Make sure the app isn't moved to the SD card, which will cause issues when youre mounting it with USB ...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ilikecl:
Great release, existz! Loving it so far.

NBA Game Time doesn't seem to play videos, though...?
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
MX video player works fine... don't use gallery, its not that big of an issue!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
minimalistic text and its def not on the sd card, also i have to "restore" this widget every 10 min (ok not that often but its a lot)...also just had a odd thing happen...opened dropbox app, it asked if i was new/existing...existing...went to put my info in and it just started to freak out...it back up a screen and started to flicker

EDIT let it sit for a min and time out to lockscreen and it seems fine now

second edit...currently installing VLC beta...fingers crossed
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
With the working HD video, is there a working camcorder app that can shoot HD?
[HTC Inspire 4G] GMArthur:
Liking this ROM. I was a GingerBeast user previously so I love the AOSP ROMs.

Did a totally clean install without restoring anything yet and have had zero issues. Have not played around with the camera yet but it's not a real big issue to me regardless. Wifi, GPS, Market, Signal Strength, battery life all fine. Which is what I look for in a ROM. Solid daily driver.

Just wanted to give a positive report on this ROM. Well done.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GMArthur:
perhaps this is a dumb question, but is there a way to mute the phone and put it on vibrate from the lock screen on ICS? My google-fu must be weak as I can't find this answer.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] spuberman7:
Thank you! it is the best & cleanest ROM

I just wanna thank you, this ROM is awsome!

Camera ICS in Market is working great (I confirmed it, maybe it is the way to work/fix into camera glitch, HD camcorder,)

FM module is another thing i wish to have!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
pull down the drop down and then use the vol keys
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
I believe its long press power then at the bottom of the menu there's sound settings, silent, vibrate, and normal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
There is a difference between HD Playback and Recording.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmckell:
I installed this rom and now my phone just stays on the ICS splash screen. It has been there for 15 minutes.

Is this normal for the first boot? Have I done something wrong?

Please help.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
you did a clean install?? i.e, you wiped your cache/data before installing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmckell:
How long should I see the ICS splash screen after I clear my data and reinstall?
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
Not more than 3-4 mins
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmckell:
Got it working.

Thanks for your help!
[HTC Inspire 4G] GMArthur:
Sweet. Knew there had to be a way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gallogj:
THANKS!

I totally love the smoothness and ICSness of this ROM! It'll be my daily driver until the official ICS comes out...if ever. One thing I'd REALLY like to see is the ability to uninstall apps by long-clicking them in the app drawer. This is the only ICS feature that I use often!
[HTC Inspire 4G] allstar21369:
This exists on most custom launchers. I'm using Apex Launcher and it's there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Long press the icon like your going to drag it, then long hold it on "Remove", and it will give the option to uninstall

I believe you said a few pages back Netflix was working, just flashed ar23 and installed Netflix 1.5.2 (from the xda app section) and when the video starts to come up it crashes back to Netflix (where you pick the video)... Is there a different version of Netflix I should install or..
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
The one from the market? Its version 1.70. I don't use Netflix on my phone but I would say its possible the one you were using hadn't been updated to work with ICS.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
[HTC Inspire 4G] one7dchevy:
Thanks, got it working..had to browse the market on my computer and hit install, market then sent/installed it to my phone. Interesting I couldn't do it from the phone though.. oh well
[HTC Inspire 4G] gallogj:
Thanks again existz! Holding the app over "remove" worked perfectly. This is by far the best rom I've ever used, and I've used a lot of them! Is there a way to turn on the lights on the bottom phone menus? This rom is nearly perfect.

EDIT: I had auto brightness disabled. Soft keys are lit again! Perfect Rom IMHO
[HTC Inspire 4G] m177er:
existx,

Thanks for another great update! I'm really enjoying this ROM. Thank you for all your hard work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
Really looking forward to sinking my teeth in this this weekend, can anyone confirm that the bank of America app works flawlessly on this rom? That's the one app that could get me in trouble if I can't use it lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Works fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ilikecl:
No one else having this issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
I for one don't have any issues with the app because I can't download it from the market in the first place. And I can't download it because a few years back some d*ckheads over at Google decided they were going to make the market restrict certain apps in certain countries.

Even though we watch NBA here, and I'm quite a fan actually, I don't have access to the app unless I look it up in a forum or something.

So, I can't download the NBA app regularly because Google thinks that it should be restricted to my country as we have no use of it, but allows me to download apps for bus stations in Hong Kong China and I live i Europe.

F*** logic

P.S Sorry for all the cursing, too much Red Bull, makes me hyper
[HTC Inspire 4G] ravensfire:
Not sure about NBA, but every time I try to watch video through Watch ESPN website (not the app) I don't see anything. I know that on gingerbread it was working. Unfortunately with March Madness coming up I really need/want to watch some games, so might have to revert back for a few weeks.

-- Ravensfire
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I need logs before I can do anything guys... Also remember this is only initial support for video, I'm sure a lot of things don't fully work yet. But I need a logcat before I can even attempt to start fixing it. Also need to make sure its reproducable after a clean install.

I'm not sure about Watch ESPN, but watching videos on normal ESPN website works fine. But let me know if your able to play from the normal website as well
[HTC Inspire 4G] xokeman:
I think it is great that we have a ROM for Inspire.

Personally I've been using Lord's Rom and I don't see a real difference. I was excited to see CAMERA under the list of things that worked but disapointed to see that it suffers from the same issue as Lord's ROM

It might be a better idea to say that it "works (but with glitches)"
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
That's what the issue tracker is for ...as posted in OP everyone should check it before posting.

Although camera does mostly work using 3rd party apps, using angel can I get perfect pics, no glitches
[HTC Inspire 4G] xokeman:
SHOOT my bad.

I looked everywhere in the OP and missed this small link.

Please accept my apologies!

Keep up the awesome work
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Finally got the logcat spam with video playback fixed ..so knock that off the list for next release. Currently still trying to get mic fixed with new audio libs, so ill see how the next few days go and if theres no progress then ill go ahead and release what I have.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toysoldierq:
Thanks for all your effort and time and hard work i have been using your rom for a long time and i for one prefer yours than any other ics because mainly u have less addons and mods thanks god keep up the good work and god bless u

Great rom as always. I see the download count continues to rise, so I know that the word travels. Battery life on AR23 is an improvement.

I.don't have a search button?? Went back 10 pages didnt see any1 else ...
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
No issues here..and I text quite a bit (50-75+ a day), all have been fine.. Could be network issue also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Ok, another little update..., I kind of lied about fixing the logcat spam during video playback (not really lied, I did fix it but was a nasty hack), but I ended up using the actual full repo for qcom/display from CAF and the issue came back. So... Back to square one, but I atleast know now where to look to find an actual fix, instead of using a nasty hack i was doing. So it may or may not be fixed in next release now, but atleast our qcom/display is 100% in line with CodeAurora, so that will help out big time for future updates from them. Also working on a few other things, so some intense testing is needed..so might be another 2-3 days before I release something.

What im trying to do is get as much of the hardware repos as i can in line with actual CAF, instead of using CMs variant of things.. 1) because CMs variant doesnt include alot of updates and is tailored for CM, and 2) will be alot easier with future updates from CAF.. (ie. qcom/display and media repos, getting inline with alot of CAFs framework commits for video playback..etc)
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
existz,

Do you code for a living? I did for 20 years (mainframe) and have to say you have an excellent work ethic...not only are your updates frequent and detailed but you also keep all of us well updated on your progress and I know I HATED doing MY weekly status reports. It might not mean a hill of beans to you but I admire your drive.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
If all this means that this ROM will be easier to get updated to say Android 4.0.4 when it comes out than any other CM or CM based build then I tip my hat to you Sir and I applaud your decision.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
I believe it basically means it will be easier to stay current with qcom updates etc and not rely on CM for the updates, since they are not as current/up to date. Keeps this rom on the bleeding edge. I completely agree with this line of thinking.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toysoldierq:
Hey one question was the setup wizard remove from this rom if so could u post it for me please ?
