[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoCatharsis:
Been away from XDA for a few months, now back to check out ICS-based ROMs. Two questions:

Are there ANY that have working WIMAX?

Could somebody please list the various options for ICS (i.e. Android 4.0.3) based ROMs and their forum links?

Bonus points if you name your favorite and tell me why.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indyjames:
1. None have working WIMAX yet!

2. Most if not all ICS Roms are based off of Prelude Drews work..problem you can't find him on XDA only on twitter for his releases and updates. Also, Deck's working on a version that is good but have to find him on a different forum -rootzwiki.

On XDA there are only a few:

1 AOKP Which is based off of Prelude Drews and they are activitly working on this.

2. MazWoz which is also based off of Drew's is updated on a regular basis.

I'm currently running Prelude Drew recent release and it's very smooth. I've tried all of them with the exception of MazWoz and they are getting better everyday. I've read good things about AOKP from people I respect. Give them a whirl and see what you think!

Also, there are a few threads in the General forum(search and you shall find) talking about ICS that would be a good read.

Hope this helps!

In addition, you can find jared's on his site, blazing-roms.com
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indyjames:
Very true I've run that one as well and he's got great stuff too...it's sometimes hard to keep track of where they are all located.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
True, currently running it as well. Though those are all the current places to get ICS at the moment.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjanka:
I've heard the main issue with most of them is that for some reason the camera won't work? That would be a deal breaker for me - can't remember the last time I actually carried a point and shoot camera :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman G:
I would stay away from that one.

Its just an really poor copy of the rest-:)

The others are certainly good choices though.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] constrictor25:
I've been running Deck's latest and it has been running great. The working Hardware Acceleration is worth the few glitches it creates in the process. While I don't have my camera preview I can still take pictures pretty well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetic_shift:
Also remember everyone's phone and installation methods vary so one persons opinion is only one persons opinion. Some people like features in one some like features in another. Don't let one persons experience ruin yours :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vikaspandey:
its better to use lg camera app from android market to record 480p videos :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] gmp009:
Can i use these on stock rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] keemi:
I do not know. The first would have to know how to look at stockrom.

I test only CM 7.2.

I edited the file so I do not use LGCamera :rolleyes:, but now I can us codec h.263 and h264 and recorded in 640x480 :p
[HTC Sensation] nxsone:
OK I have my sensation the phone have been replaced 3 times from HTC ( dust under screen) then I broke the screen and I pay $99 to fix it .

Now I broke it again my question is

1-fix it ( again)

2- buy a mi-one ( $500 )

3- move to sprint and grab a iPhone 4GS

I love the sansation but to many flaws at least to me;

And don't like any current T-Mobile USA phones.
[HTC Sensation] qpqpqp:
it's your call. Apple is known for the good QA and you also pay for that with your money on the phone. You can also get insurance for your phone, which in about 2 years add to around $200 and it might even cover it if you were at fault. Stuff like breaking the screen is actually your fault so i don't think any good QA can fix that :p.

You also have another option: craiglist.->$300
[HTC Sensation] nxsone:
I know I meant paying again to fix it other $99 .

And buying another sensation on craigslist its more like asking for more trouble :)
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
If you are willing to spend $500 bux on a mi one, why not just go GNex? Not your style?

I guess iPhone would be the way to go I guess.
[HTC Sensation] nxsone:
I belive the GNEX its only available on Verizon and I hate vzn prices and service I had Verizon a few years back.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
There's an unlocked version as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbrauer:
I have performed Ratchet's Serial Number fix, and it appears to work in that I can see the serial number both via the Setting->Status screen and when I query ro.serialno via ADB, but I do not seem be getting OTA updates or notifications, nor does my tablet see them if I click the System Firmware Update option.

Is there a way for me to check if my serial number is "good," or if it is still missing from the ASUS database that allows me to get these updates. I did read through the thread on Device Tracker, but I couldn't really tell if that is actually working or not. I also have tried that too BTW.

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkovach82:
My first post and I cannot access stuff I get 10...LAME.

I wiped my SPH-d710 Epic 4G touch and installed TNz BLEND 2.6.2-No Bloat.

Some issues I would like answered by either the devs or other users with the same problem.

1) My 4G services keeps going to "disconnected" state after I wake up the phone. I update my PRL and then get 1 or 2 bars of 4G. The phone goes back to sleep and then when it is woken up 4G always goes to "disconnected" state.

I am always having to update my PRL when switching between 4G towers on my way home from work. Seems the phone "disconnects" instead of just switching to the next tower.

EL29 version modem.

2) No Bloat appears to have some GUI issues with music buttons on the lock screen. Installing a theme fixes the issue so this must be a built in theme problem with BLEND in general....all the versions thus far have had this issue.

3) No Bloat now has a built-in voltage/OC frequency modifier. NICE. I am worried however about the heat that is generated from the phone while it is plugged into AC outlet and running at 1200mHz while playing Dead Space (3D app). After about 15 minutes the thing got so hot I had to shut it off...worried about hardware damage. This might not be an issue while not plugged into an AC outlet because I dont think the battery could output the eletricity needed to fry the thing...but should a Governor be installed at 1000 mHz if AC power is detected?

4) Swype keyboard software in the No Bloat 2.6.2 package is not recognized by Swipe auto-updates and they will not install over the pre-installed Swype software...it errors out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
A friend of mine has a GalaxyS 2 and I like the SMS look on his phone. Anyway to add this theme to my G2X. Its simple and Clean look.:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
No, the Samsung SMS app is not the same app. It's an app that samsung actually developed just for their phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
You can flash a MIUI Rom and then download a galaxy s theme. You can apply the theme to the SMS app only if you wish.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dudeimawesome:
GO SMS or other sms apps probably have an SGSII theme
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Is there any reason it couldn't be just installed like a normal app, or at least via adb as a system app?

Edit: I mean the sgs 2 app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Because it was coded by Samsung for Samsung phones. Simply installing the APK will likely result in force closes whenever you try to open the app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Unless it's coded with something where it must utilize something that only a Samsung phone has, sort of like an OEM BIOS check, there shouldn't be any FC's. If someone will extract and post the apk, I'll install it on my phone and text it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] russell956956:
+1

I highly doubt that it will work, it will more than likely force close everytime u try to open it. If it was as simple than just installing the apk a lot of people would have the sms app of different phones.

I'm pretty sure to get it working on the g2x u would need to edit some stuff to make it function properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
SGS2 SMS's

Please if someone can upload the APK I will also try it:D:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Won't work. It's tied into Samsung's TW UI. The apk. will do nothing. Best advice is to go with Go SMS and use the SGS2 theme. Or you can change the colors around yourself to match what you want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
Changing the Colors

How can I change the Colors? thanks:D

Additional Kernel

Default kernel in my rom

AOKP kernel with Governors and Schedulars : Download

Tips :

* For kernel :

* Under Performance :

Keep the Overclocking as 245-1100 smartassv2/ondemand for no slowdowns

Also prefer sio schedular using set-cpu with the additional kernel

Also select forced disable scrolling cache

* If something FCs then go to apps...clear data...restart...:)

* Finally for awesome look...use this theme...

Link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1550926

But after flashing both the zip...SystemUI has stopped error will occur...replace the systemui.apk from the rom in /system/app/ and reboot...all should be fine and your phone should fly :)

Sick, nice one mate can't wait to give this a try

Peace
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
what a pitty i'm testing my batt life right now, so i cannot try immediately. but i'll check it out in the next days for sure.

prepare yourself for tons of requests, and alot "camera?camera?camera?"

well done! (hope so:rolleyes:)
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Good job on the port, will definitely try it out later ... currently trying to port Sense 3.6
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Great work, runs fluid and no other issues than the known found yet.

The additional settings are also pretty nice :)

Ok, faced something a bit weird now.

Got a sudden reboot and now the screen buttons appeared. Tried to reboot once more but nothing changed. Will try to wipe cache and report afterwards.

Here is a Screenshot.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Durdy:
Nice job :)

One problem, I think it's missing the calendar.

Here's a rip from the CM9 build, which solved the problem for me. Just paste into /system/app and restart :)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19736187/Calendar.apk
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Calendar is present for me.

Cache wipe did nothing and even a reflash (without full wipe) didn't make the screen buttons disappear.

Solved it with a clean install, will provide last_kmsg if it's happening again.

Sry, forgot about it this time ^^

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Why should I use this and not cm9 ? It can be faster but does it have the amount of settings?

Written with bad english on my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes, and some additional, but look yourself, no one forces you to use anything and there is something weird, called backup, if you don't like it.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Thanks for the tip, but i already knew that i can do backups.. But that always costs time because i want to test roms for a longer time to rate it, so i wanted some arguments to test it.

Written with bad english on my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
Real nice rom, nice and quick aswell, and no bugs found yet other than the ones stated!!!

Once though, went into the settings, and all the font screwed up, like half letters showing etc, but just re-entered and it was fine

Great work.

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Is face unlock working on this one?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Oh thanx..i was working on inverted apps...so forgot about this...

Alls done and am uploading :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup thats a know issue...as kernel is still devloping and the egl drivers...it would be solved soon :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I never tested it...without preview I find it a bit tough to cope with...after sometime when novelty wears off...i find it a headache...but you can test and let me know how it goes...:)

If some issues I ll try to solve it :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ohhh hope you like it...there is no slowdown...as well...

Also if it happens again let me know :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
everything fine so far. very smooth with apex launcher.

but you forgot to invert the market.. :p

really good work at all

Edit: and button backlights doesn't work for me..

And it would be really great if you could invert the contacts (maybe that's the"people"app?)

But I love this ROM too, and for me this is right now the far best ics ROM out there

Of course I do appreciate the work of every developer here
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
market is inverted for me. But is people app supposed to be inverted? I hate it white. Awesome job on this though
[HTC Desire S] Silenti91:
I love it! Great work ! :D
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Is this ok to flash over old version? With a dalvik + cache wipe?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yep. Worked fine for me
[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
Can't see much difference yet, but seems slightly smoother!! :)

Oh and whats the extra music app about?
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Rom is perfect but the crt animation is missing
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
is button backlight working for you guys?
[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
Nope not me. Last version they came on every now and then (Seemed random)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
okay so its not just me.. flashed again but my market is still white..
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Gmail for me still not working missing in apps
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
That's strange. Backlight and market working for me. updated from previous version

Although gmail is closing upon start
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Lit softkeys working for me in low light. Is anyone elses gmail app missing or not working?

Market is dark for me.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Everything is working here after update and market is nice but Gmail force closes
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I have Gmail, it's dark and working. I had FCs initially but cleared app data and after that it worked
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Thanks that worked I cleared the app data, restarted the phone and now got working inverted gmail :)
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Market has gone back to standard white version now, think its updated itself
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
wow..my market has become black by itself. it was white before, now it's inverted

at least my email widget does work after a reboot, It did not before

My button backlight does work now. But very buggy, only when changing brightness..

Really Love the ROM

Edit: after another reboot my market returned to white... This is really confusing me.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Market WAS black because the latest version uploaded by Vampire had inverted GAPPS installed in the ROM by default. After that, market made an auto update and reverted to white.

One solution you could try is to "freeze" Market Updater in Titanium Backup (paid version) or to try disabling Market Updater in apps settings. This way it might not update anymore the market appl
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Has the multitouch prob been fixed?
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Loving this rom too, I also spotted this in the general rom options:

**Possible this could be part of the recommended theme suggested on page 1, anyhow I got it working by changing android_audio to boot_audio and it works fine! :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You go to settings of the text (just press on any Minimalistic text widget on screen) and scroll down a bit till you see the 3 text types...Normal, Accented and Non-accented - with a preview of each on the right side. Pressing any of them brings you to the configuration page for that text type where you can change the color, font, size, glow and other settings...hope you'll manage it. Good luck

NOTE: Due to certain requests, the only change to the above ROM is for default DPI set in build.prop...210. Anything else is untouched. If you like darkened apps you can install them from the theme's page. Link to modded Google Play Store (to work with non standard DPI settings) is HERE

Enjoy...

NOTE2: For those asking the OP be updated with my ports...please bear in mind this is Vampire's topic not mine. It is normal that he updates the OP with his ports and he mainly port the stable releases (stable being not only Lord's "final" ones but some versions that are reported less bugged).

What I do is for flash maniacs (like me) or the ones that would like to flash newest versions (and of course having the biggest chance of bugs). I mainly port the test versions and people that follow this thread, I am sure they know where to get my ports from...no need to update the OP for that. Vampire updates it only when he considers
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Great update, fast, smooth and stable, the mrs says that it is the best rom I have flashed for her ds and having played with this after using my sgs3 everyday and not using the ds in ages i have to agree, it's a fantastic rom, the phone just seems to run more fluidly everywhere, keep up the great work :)
[HTC Desire S] lukrop:
Seems like adb isn't working for me on this rom
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Vampire and Rapier, I have tried to replicate the unlock straight to camera thing, and after a few days, I think that flashing a clean ROM improves the situation considerably..

I still get unlocking to camera, but only like 4-5 times a day on a clean install than if I install 8.2.1 over 8.2, where I get like once in 3 unlocks.. Have not tried CM9 and BlindICE again, I have no intention to go back to those ROMs.. :P

Btw, if any of you get the touch screen freeze after a call, try to press the power button twice in a rapid succession, it works for me.. Same goes if your screen freezes after you wake the device up..
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I'll check this since I didn't test ADB with this version. On previous test build was working though.

Aside this, last 2 test versions looks extremly fast and also stable. Had no issues at all, only thing I didn't test was GPS. I'm running test 4 since it came out, no freezes, no in- call issues, wifi and BT work great, camera, sms,exchange/gmail also.

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
I guess you didn't include the gps fix in your latest buuld, did you? Besides this, you're damn right, this ROM as it is right now has never been closer to perfection! Thx for all your porting efforts!
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
First time I installed this (rapier) rom. Comming from blindice. Gps works for me. Very fast and stable for now. Battery I don't know yet.

Smartassv2 is not in this rom yet. Not stable enough yet??

I am very happy with this rom. Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
it's working here...

did you flashed a different kernel? maybe cm9 without sweep2wake?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Checked and it is working. What is NOT present is the notification in status bar for ADB. This was taken out on purpose by me (I don't like status bar cluttered with icons). If you want that notification back, edit build.prop and change "persist.adb.notify" from 0 to 1...reboot.

SmartassV2 or SavageZEN not included since I use a different kernel. I found that the swipe2wake or other kernels not suiting my personal preference so I've used this kernel with which I was pleased in terms of stability and battery. But this will not stop, nk111 promised a kernel for us as soon as he'll have some time. I bet it'll be great and will include these governors...we just have to be patient
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
one little thing i see. When i unchecked the Wifi in statusbar or with a power widget. It takes 9 seconds when wifi turns off. Not a big problem. But at first i tapped to often.. It would be nice if this could go faster.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I would love that too...unfortunately this is something that's depending on the ROM itself not porting. Dunno what was changed but indeed since some versions ago, wifi takes alot till it deactivates. I think it is like this way before 8.1, cannot remember the exact point when it was changed. This issue can be fixed only by Lord ClockaN
[HTC Desire S] lukrop:
That's fine! :) I don't like a cluttered status bar neither.. than I have to have a look at the udev permissions for USB since my device wasn't recognized.
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
why the hell isn't google chrome browser compatibile with this rom? I always had it on phone and now it says its not compatibile...same with firefox...

Edit: even fb for android isn't compatibile...
[HTC Desire S] sickill:
Maybe because of non-standard DPI (210) ?
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
What should I do then?
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
try flashing modded google play store...
