I'm really enjoying using this ROM. Its a solid contender, enough so I can't wait for an official build.

ICS, even "stock" ICS is far more "polished" than any 2.x android I've used, and the only time I go back to GB is when I *need* a feature like Wifi calling.

So far I've used Virtuous Quattro, Andromadus Audacity, and a couple of other ICS roms. I wish Quattro hadn't died on the vine, because I really liked their take on the notification bar power widget (click on the name and jump right to the settings page). I really like the autobrightness fine tuning Andromadus lets you do since the light sensor on my G2 seems flaky.

This rom so far seems quite stable, and doesn't bog down in app installs or restores from TB like Audacity Beta 2 does for me.

The only operational glitches I've had are:

1) The power-button lock delay doesn't work. The screen locks immediately when you press the power button. On CM7, the delay worked so I didn't have to enter the unlock password if I needed to check a text I got right after turning off the screen. The screen timeout lock works fine though.

2) Wifi has glitched and refused to connect to any network once. A reboot woke things up, so I don't know if this was just a one time glitch.

I have had less than wonderful battery life in all the ICS ROMs when compared to CM 7.1. My batteries are approaching 2 years old, so this may be a contributor.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cid-Vox:
What do you mean by that? If you long press the notification icons CM9 opens the settings page as well?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] octhrope:
First off, thanks for making this rom.

Few things i noticed / opinions. No offence intended.

1. Camera dosent preview except for in panorama mode.

2. No black background for text messages (personal fav)

3. The font for the date isnt nearly as cool as for the time on the lock screen and clock

4. Alarm clock is harder to get to.

5. The icons for call, contacts, messages and internet feel really big, comming from launcherpro.

6. No blank wallpaper anymore.

Just some of the things i noticed, since its beta i thought i would say somthing. Using rom as daily driver, been solid for over a week.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
It means I never tried it. I never even tried that on cm 7.1. I also found the backlight brightness tweak in the display settings. Having a senior moment I guess. CM 9 is beginning to remind me of the first graphical adventure games -- click (or long press) everywhere, you never know what you'll find.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It's true, and one of my pet peeves about CM. One of the worst, most unintuitive things that CM has is the statusbar brightness changer. If you're not familiar, it's a toggle that enables the swipe motion on the statusbar (when the notification bar is NOT pulled down). Depending on how far you drag your finger across the top, it adjusts the brightness accordingly. It's glitchy and doesn't work properly with the widget, but for some reason they brought it up from CM7. **** like that is why AOKP is becoming more of the favored ROM when it comes to people who value usability. CM is one of those products that's FOR developers BY developers with massive usability no-nos.

That being said, I *DO* very much appreciate the work the CM team has done, but of course I'm allowed to gripe because it's the internet, and I'm a jerk :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] x.para:
check a couple of pages earlier in this thread, this is solved
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TenMaKo:
Thx man. Great work on this rom.

It was amazingly fast right after installation but i've experienced serious lag when all my apps had been restored with TB. So i supercharged it and now it works like a charm again.

One of the smoothest ROM i've tried so far (and i've tried a lot of different ones).

No problem after a week of daily use except from the known ones.

Can't wait for a stable release :p

Why can't I rw system?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
been using for a couple of days now.

having random reboots. figured out it was my battery, not the room- as I remember MIUI doing that once or twice a long time ago.

adjusted the contacts in the battery compartment with tweezers, and the ROM has been running nearly flawless ever since.

Great job
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .ili.music.ili.:
I get random reboots sometimes. How do you know it's because of the battery? Is it loose or something? That's what I think may be happening to me. I've dropped my phone more than a couple of times ^^

Does video recording work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] qpop:
Just to be clear - is this an official pre-release of Cyanogenmod? Or are you just building off their git? If it is the latter please update the title with "UNOFFICIAL" to avoid confusion.

Humm.. Someone know if a MSM7X30 "MSM7230 / MSM7630 " device got camcoder working
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
Here's hoping that in a month or two the speed of this would be acceptable. Right now it feels even slower than early Gingerbread on the G2 were (and I remember how hard I laughed whenever people called these "smooth and fast". Yeah, sure thing buddy)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jerl92:
It's nice too see that :P Qcom_Display from cyanogen are not the best low activity on it. Yes it slow. But... they are no visual corruption
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Whilst I don't have a problem with this, the source for Andromadus is out there for a reason. I have a few queries.

Please don't take this the wrong way as long as this is developed in the open I really don't have a problem with it.

You've taken the device configuration and Framework base etc from Andromadus and used the current CM repositories for everything else?

I just wonder what your plans are going forward as Andromadus is basically this plus a few upstream patches that have yet to be merged into CM plus a couple of extra things that CM will probably replicate in the future. If you are using Andromadus Framework base then really this can't really be classed as CM as it is heavily modified and is why I have not even called it a CM kang.

I had been toying with the idea of making a pure CM build alongside Andromadus just using the vision repository so people could see how far a pure CM9 has progressed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jerl92:
i understand what you say, until it will be open until it will be okay, you say the framework is heavily modified... what i need is overlay both cpp and header for hardware camera and the last ting is trakball wake

Well i do all that stuff for fun, hobby, personal knowledge want to share my work to see what the other tink about my work... thats it

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChpStcksRlz:
Finally! Virtuous was getting annoying with their icon modding and such, I'll give this a shot since it seems pretty stable from your descriptions. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s09227:
Hey which gapps are you guys using? I see a lot them in the link= =
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChpStcksRlz:
This one would probably be best

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11.zip

It's Google Apps, Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3) version 11.

The other one being v4, So I'm thinking this one is more updated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
As long as the gapps you flash says it works for ics even if it says it works on gingerbread and ics is fine. Keep in mind you update them in market so it really doesn't matter what version you flash as long as it works on ics.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Is it fair to call this "CyanogenMod" ? Isn't it just another ROM variant using CM as a base but with other stuff chucked in ?

I don't personally think it's right to label it as CM (even as "unofficial" ) given that it has stuff that the official CM9 may well not use. E.g. Andromadus is based on CM too but they don't call their ROM CM9.

It's great to see another ICS ROM, I just feel uncomfortable about the title. What if all ROMs based on CM started just calling themselves CM9 Unofficial ?

Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shadow-Nexus:
Nice rom is seems a little faster than andromadus but still getting graphical glitches
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
One thing I did was wrap the top of the battery in a subway transfer. Kept it snug and stopped getting reboots / power offs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ad505:
I can confirm that this tends to solve reboot/power off issues. In time, the battery contacts begin to give a bit, causing the battery to have a slight amount of play.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
I simply switched my battery to another spare after tweaking the battery contacts with tweezers to pull them out ever so slightly (be gentle!)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BW91961:
Just wanted to give a big THANKS to the Cyanogenmod Team for this amazing beta release. Can't wait to see the stable despite this one being pretty darn stable.

Donations headed your way!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] otariq:
I don't think this Rom is actually by the cm team but merely based on their framework
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geokuttan:
Same here, started getting random reboots, thought it was the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
I just realized that my camera doesn't work with the stock app. Using Camera Zoom FX works fine though. Anyone else with this issue? I tried clearing data on the camera app and restarting the device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I believe this is from an error relating to the Andromadus kernel source. I'm not sure when the OP kanged it but it looks like that error was still present, which would be creating the random reboots you guys are seeing.

To test, after a reboot (crash), do:

1) su

2) cat /proc/last_kmsg | grep 'kernel BUG'

Paste results here. Also if you could tell me what kernel you're running too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
I have been experience force closes on the Messaging App.

I open it , and it loads the user photos and then closes immediately.

one out of like 12 times, it will stay open.

not sure what that's all aboooooot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frankth3frizz:
I messed about in the settings and I'm getting over 18 hours now will wifi/network on and texting almost every 3 minutes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
Anyone else have odd market issues? When I tried to *initially* download Antutu, I got a weird error. (Which like an idiot I forgot to screencap.) I reverted to my CM 7.1 Nandrood, and was able to download it. Apps already associated with my Google account download fine.

I used Flinny's latest Andromadus test build (with the separate Kernel in the threead) and the same gapps (20120317 as I recall), and everything works fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Did you try downloading antutu from the play store on your computer? Normally, if i ever have issues with the market on my phone, i can still download apps from the official web page.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TenMaKo:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rand0m_insanity:
Does using swap improve performance? Anyone tried? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TenMaKo:
Don't think it would be of any use as you shouldn't encounter any issues due to a lack of memory.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rand0m_insanity:
I think so. I enabled swap for a while and didnt notice any improvement at all.

On another note, anyone using smart keyboard? It has become very laggy and inaccurate on this ROM. Using the stock keyboard or a different one does not have the same issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buxtahuda:
Had tons of apps just close out to the homescreen after a back-press. No messages, and the kill app via back long-press is not checked. Drove me insane enough to go right back to GB lol. Also felt very slow at all times.

Thank you though OP, was fun trying it out! It isn't like it was claimed or meant to be a completed work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rand0m_insanity:
Are those apps from GB? I have close to 200 apps on this ROM right now and had. Few of them close as you described. Wiping the data or redownloading the app from Market solved it though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buxtahuda:
Ah, how noobish of me! :D

Of course, I restored apps + data with TiBu without even thinking of it. That would be the issue.

Still, the launcher and UI in general just didn't feel as snappy as I've become accustomed to, even OC'ed to 1.5 with included kernel. I look forward to CM9 on this phone once it matures just a bit more and maybe gets put over here officially (not gunna happen?).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cuberob:
hmm looking good, still a little afraid of those ics roms (last time i tried i got glitched all over the place) but my phone is due for a big reset. So might give this one another try!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ronmq:
I can't wait to test the last beta!!

Thank you very much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ganiman:
New build hurray!

So far the previous one has been pretty solid. I experienced a series of random reboots, but wiping cache seems to have cleared it up. Looking forward to trying the next build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
Anyway possibility of getting this on Rom Manager it is such a pain to have to set everything back up. If it needs to be this I understand but I can't help thinking how much easier it would be to just do an upgrade with Rom Manager.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
"Everything works"?

I can haz wifi calling?

If this rom has the cam working fully i think its time to bump this to rc1 on next release and drop the beta!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Wifi calling isn't part of any ROM & is, for the most part, out of the hands of developers until tmo steps up.

See this thread for details..

Play Store

Just installed the latest build and I'm having problems getting Play Store to launch. It seems like it is going to work but then it just closes and goes back to the previous screen. Anybody else seen this or have a fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
It is in the process of upgradation, leave it for a few minutes and then try, if it still closes on its own then reboot and it'll go.

I have a question what is the difference between this and andromadus?I'm using the latest test build of andromadus but i wanted to see is there any difference between the two before I flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ganiman:
That's a good legitimate question - but probably should be directed at the Andromadus people. I've tried both, and see very little difference - it seems more like a duplicated effort than anything (no offense intended to anyone). As far as I can tell, Andromadus takes the CM9 code, makes some minor tweaks which they say is unique to Vision, and provide a custom build. In my limited experience with the two, the CM9 builds seem to work "better" (in terms of stability) than the Andromadus builds. I have also not tried a build since their beta 2. The tweaks they make for the Vision are not all that clear, at least from trying to follow the topics here on XDA. I have not seen any real gain from going with Andromadus myself and intend to stick with the CM9 builds, at least until I see some extremely compelling reason to switch back to Andromadus. I do applaud everyone's time and effort they have contributed to getting ICS out there to our beloved phones, but I can't help but feel that the efforts should be directed in one place and not so scattered. The biggest complaint about Android has always been segmentation, and here we are contributing to just that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
Looks more stable than Andro b2. I hate the little bag in camera in 1st shot screen is black. The camcorder what quality is?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
What about T-Mobile's HTC One S? It comes with WiFi Calling on ICS.

Thing is that it's now embedded onto the phone settings and isn't an app by itself now. That might be more difficult to port.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] boumboqc:
sliceee

Good job slicy!!

Populaire ta ROM en plus!

:eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Andromadus & this build are both based on CM. I would say they are both equally as "fragmented", despite this ROM having a CM label on it. They both use the CM sources as a common base and other repos to fill in the blanks. You can't have a "pure" CM build because CM simply does not fully support the vision. We're not talking "tweaks", we're talking about the necessary structure to make the ROM work on our phones, period. The base of both these ROMs is nearly identical, both use common third party repos too. There is no duplicated effort, it is literally the SAME effort just repackaged with/in different repositories. Nothing is being lost in the mix here -- it's all publicly available and shared between devs freely.

As for the fragmentation issue you think exists, the Andromadus team has written many patches that started out exclusive to the Audacity ROM. These have been picked up by other repos (including the ones this ROM is based off of) as well as the official CM repos themselves. Everybody cherry-picks and merges eachother's code, that's the way git works, and it's better that way. You can't have a single repository because many different people are working on different hardware (and similar hardware) and different ROMs independent of eachother. For example, we [the Andromadus team] have taken patches from Desire HD repos because some of their code also works on our hardware, and vice versa.

All of the Andromadus code is completely open and available to anybody (this ROM is a testament to that). You can see each & every change the team has made. Don't base it off your limited experience or your hazy "feelings" on something, base it off the actual code in the actual repository.

Stating we're contributing to segmentation is definitely an ignorant and inaccurate statement. What we're doing is collaborating, and, believe it or not, for the better of this device and the community as a whole.

TLDR; This ROM & Andromadus are both equally as based off the "official" CM source, despite this one being labelled CyanogenMod & having the default CM bootanimation :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
what launcher does this use?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Trebuchet. Unsure which version; it usually shows up there.

[Edit] Thanks to the screenshot, I just noticed I have no signal. Let me move. Haha.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
At first I won't go into the difference between this rom and Andromadus directly. I'll give you an overview of the differnce beween Andromadus and the current CM9 codebase.

Andromadus is very close to the CM9 codebase with the following notable additions (there will be more but these are the biggies)

trackball wake/unlock

6 bar mod

hot reboot

facebook contact support - CM had it and took it out as they say FB should fix their client which I agree with but left it in until they do :)

volume lockscreen - which will be ripped out once CM complete work on the customisable lockscreen targets

fix for netflix

improved long backpress to kill

fixed touchscreen support

fixed keyboard/backlight/brightness

And all the associated toggles for the above.

Many of these changes are also in this rom

Apart from that it is basically the current CM9 framework and I keep it up to date every few days.

We use a more up to date kernel than the one included in CM9 and lots of work has gone into that recently by fyodor to backport some 3.0 kernel code for our use and it makes a massive difference.

As far as I know this rom uses the vision repo the Andromadus team put together (that's where 99% of the device specific stuff is)

This Rom also uses the Andromadus kernel

It also uses upstream branches of some elements fro CAF rather than the CM ones.

I would say it's further away from CM than Andromadus over all :)

I toyed with the idea of making "pure" CM9 builds myself but didn't think it was worth the extra time for me when Andromadus was so close anyway, that said the code/repo's are out there for anyone to do with them what they will.

There can be no pure CM builds as CM does not yet have a vision repository for ICS everyone that builds from source is using the Andromadus repo as a base as far as I know :)

I have no problem with the ROM or it's developer, I do have a slight problem with it being called CM when it blatently is not :)

Nick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cid-Vox:
You can fix that by pushing the Camera.apk from the Andromadus build. ;)
