Hi vampire36... and this is a question to the community in general too... just wanted to ask you, which one do you personally prefer? v3 or v4? I read what rapier had posted earlier (excellent read)... and am now in two minds about either flashing his version (v3) or the v4 you've ported here.

I know i can try both... and i probably will end up doing just that, but i just wanted to know from the community whether there is a huge difference (both aesthetically as well as performance-wise) as i intend to give more of my time to either one of the branches that this ROM is poised to bifurcate into - CM9 or AOKP.

So I just thought i'd ask for your two cents on this... anybody?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I had the same dilema and I went for v3. From performance point of view I didn't notice differences. For me, best thing will be a v3 with the modded ROM Control from Virtuous Quattro added. Maybe someone will make that possible, I'm not such expert

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Of course..

I did not try 3.0, but I'm using 4.0 with apex launcher at the moment and used 2.0 (CM9 based) before. I really like the options for customization and power safe mode. Also it is really fast and stable. On cm9 there were allot placeholders, on aokp the most options are available. I will add some more points during the day, for now that's everything I have to say :-)

[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I ll prefer v4...find it a bit better...like AOKP rom control...

Maybe battery modifcation is less but aprt from that alls same...

But thats my call :)

Hope you like it :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Thanks. I'll go for AOKP v4 then. But i like stock gapps better, and if its not too much to ask... is there any way to have just the normal lighter version instead of the dark themed one? I know you put a lot of effort on this, but i can't stand pitch black stuff, ESPECIALLY the keyboard... If there's any way to get the stock look, i'd be greatly obliged.

Thank you for your excellent work BTW. :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For V4 with stock GAPPS you can try the one linked by me, dunno if there are so many differences
[HTC Desire S] Durdy:
Just flash the CM9 gapps from here:

Thanks a lot Vampire for this great porting of V4 AOKP, i'm just lovin it ;)

excellent quadrant score, all's stable, darkened apps look great, i've been using swiftkey x for a long time with the black and blue theme, all's so coherent with your "dark edition", and now... with the people app... what asking more... keep up the good work mate ! regards from france

Edit : I also prefer aokp rom control, clearer than CM. All I need is here, and there's not too much stuff to look at compared to CM

Anyone's got a good wallpaper kind of abstract, still black blue and why not more ? i'm using one called fracture in the last endeavor wallpapers pack

How is the Camera performance on V4.0?
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
The crt animation doesn't work in 4.0 when I checked it and also I want weather on the lock screen but when I press get weather it force closes

Weather its still a w.i.p...

Btw have go no fcs yet...just that it doesn't show animation yet...try a clear data...reboot...on aokp controls :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I have put 1 one on 1st page...got a few...like abstract stuff...lets see will upload it sometime :)

Nice to know you like the rom :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
LoL!! Yeah, that's me... the stock guy (and perhaps Olyloh too!) Thanks for that zip. does it also contain the stock ICS keyboard? I mean, the non-themed one? If not, any idea how i can flash it?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
yup it does...just flash it...and in inputs select the other keyboard with same name...you ll have that stock :)
[HTC Desire S] tookeuss:
yeak i know... but I got kinda problem with the resolution of this one...

New build online

4.1.AOKP

Fixed video playback - big thanks to existz

Gallery videos working

Youtube low quality working

Live Stream working

Netflix working

Please someone port !!!
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
This is going crazy..

Sent by my fingers to your head
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Not yet...wait before porting. I read in that thread and is a new version coming up. They found some bugs related to nav bar that's showing up and broken. And they cannot deactivate it. Also CRT animation disappeared. Lord Clockan was fixing it and said he'll upload a new version (4.1.1 maybe). I'll try to do it in the morning after that is out and if nobody else will be faster.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
what a shame! just switched to sense :(
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
wow even chrome is working

tested 4.0 for 30 min:

camera has only little distortion in landscape and some distortion in portrait mode. Flash working.

very cool ROM - THANKS

BUT (I really need the app)

In the stock E-Mail Reader (exchange acount) the text of the massage is NOT shown. No html massages, no textmassages.

:(

Was already a problem in a former version.

Can I push a mail.apk from another ROM to system? Which version?

Everything else seems to work. :)

EDIT:

Copy the Mail.apk attached to /system/app and E-Mail works (but it's white)

Don't forget to change permissions.

It's from CM9 ROM - Thanks to them..

EDIT2:

After one day - after a reboot - I lost the text of the massage display again.
[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
haha same here! went back to runnydroid cos im missing the slickness of sense :(
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
OK guys, as promised, here's the latest 4.1.1 version of IceColdSandwitch from Lord Clockan. Just booted up and running. Enjoy!

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ptay884v0hl367p

NOTE: ROM is using standard GAPPS. If you like the inverted ones, flash the inverted GAPPS package over the ROM or wait for Vampire to port it.

What I've noticed is that CRT animation is missing and soft keys are lit only when really really dark

All credits goes to Lord Clockan for the ROM and to Proxuser for the files used in porting.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okies thanx Rapier...It ll take time for me to port..have to test it a bit more...before can release it :)
[HTC Desire S] Phildu91:
"trojan alert" when i click on this link ???
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
don't know why. I uploaded the same way as I did with the others and is the same I'm using on my phone. I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and I didn't get any notice neither when zipping nor when signing or uploading it. Also when uploading to mediafire, there's a virus scanner on their side that scans for viruses, trojans and so on.
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Why is that so.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
I swap between aosp and sense also...spose I like both for different reasons
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
shame that weather wont appear on statusbar....
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Ahh, your taste is no reason to flame.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Yes, but it works on lockscreen and notification menu!

Nice feature!
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
i don`t know this because it doesn`t work for me... But on the start of ROM i have message that "app ROM control stopped work" :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Vodka69er:
Got a question, I can't seem to find the gtalk app. Should I flash it separately or is it already there in the rom and I overlooked it?
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Did you try to delete the app data, or wiping cache & dalvik?

No problem here with Rom Control.

Maybe a problem with superuser rigths?
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
I make only wipe chache&dalvik... not app data.
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Then try and delete the app data, maybe this works for you.

Go to "manage apps" and look for "Rom control" then clear data.

If this doesn`t work, I would suggest you do a full wipe and flash the rom again.
[HTC Desire S] pdf5:
@all : anyone tried rapier build ?
[HTC Desire S] fernat:
rapier's build is working great so far
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
I did and it works without problems!
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
V4 is working great for me flashed earlier today.

What launcher are people using?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I'm still using apex launcher. It's not included in 4.0 anymore, but I think it's better than trebuchet or nova

Sent by my fingers to your head
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Im trying Apex launcher now so far so good it is smoother than trebuchet and i like the extra features
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Like the features too

Sent by my fingers to your head
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
I just tried nemus launcher.

It doesn't have many features, but it's the smoothest launcher I have ever seen!
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
I also flashed the latest Build from Rapier (4.1). And I have to say it's the best ICS-Build I ever flashed.

I haven't experienced any bugs besides that the Weather is shown double in statusbar and that the Lockscreen pull-down sometimes hangs.

And I like the features more than the CM9 one... the status bar toggles are like the one in Virtuous Quattro:)

So keep up the porting;)
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
can i borrow one lol

i cant get weather on statusbar ...
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
So you would recommend it?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
From what I've seen it's a gingerbread launcher. Unless that's your point?
[HTC Desire S] wy328:
v4 is great;), but i can't download MMS, always fails, anyone?:confused:
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
I went back to nova, because of the more features, but after some more time of development this will be a great launcher!

That's right, but it also works perfect with ICS.
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
For me ROM control keeps crashing, any one else getting this or know a fix? I tried fixing uid mismatches.
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
ADW launcher - lots of settings and themes, smooth and stable

used it also in former android versions instead of sense - setting import form android3x works in ICS (one fc because of the widgets, but then no probs)
[HTC Desire S] campbs:
I am using 4.1, which so far has been great. Has anyone noticed there is no calendar installed with this rom?

Cheers

Campbs
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Just to clearify.. I think he means the weather in the notification bar.

There it`s twice for me too, but there is no weather in statusbar.

In Rom control menu it says "status bar style" but I think they meant the notification bar,

because for the notification bar are no settings implemented.

Am I right?
[HTC Desire S] nipun1110:
not "ROM control", but sometimes some apps keep crushing like opera, contact photo setting while dong it from gallery etc etc ... i guess the ROM is still not 100% complete, that may be the cause, but otherwise this is the best ICS ROM till now...
[HTC Desire S] freiflug11:
I have flashed 4.1 over 4.0 and calendar works fine for me.
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Hey,

@Rapier or Vampire or Prox: Maybe it's worth porting the Version of Twistedumbrella as well...he has brought a new BETA yesterday.

You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1451467
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
There was a 4.1.2 version of IceColdSandwitch released by Lord ClockaN yesterday.

Changelog:

- fixed red square bug (this is for DHD, we didn't had this)

- added new bootanimation by johnblundon

- significantly lowered zip size

- added some patches to frameworks

- added patches to video codecs

- some other minor improvements

I made a build but unfortunately uploading of big files from office is a pain...I've tried 2 times on mediafire and I got disconnects. I try now on filefactory, maybe I get lucky. As soon as I can upload I'll update link here

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

I try downloading it and see what I can do with my limited knowledge. Which version you were talking about? I saw the one for Millestone and the one for Ace. Ace got beta 5 but both are released yesterday
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
I meant the one for the ACE. Well, yeah - it was yesterday like a couple of minutes before midnight:D So like nearly today;)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Ace has lower resolution than Desire S. And I use for porting the files provided by Proxuser. So far, I did it only for ROM's made for DHD so I prefer to work on those...at least they should be similar. I've started download of the ROM for HTC 4G/Milestone since I saw that's the build used by DHD owners for testing. Will see if it's even booting up or works.

Meanwhile...104 MB out of 142 uploaded for 4.1.2 IceColdSandwitch build of Lord ClockaN. Hope it's uploading completely, fingers crossed

Edit: File upload completed for 4.1.2, link: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c34131f/n/IceColdSandwitch-4.1.2_AOKP-signed.zip

Enjoy

Regarding Twisted ROM, I didn't get too much out of that, WiFi is not activating (I read something about it in the thread), SDCARD si not mounting... ROM is based on CM9 by the look of notif power widgets and customizations. I downloaded the ACE version also and will try with it as well since I saw it's uploaded several hours later than the one for Milestone. Still I belive that for now IceColdSandwitch 4.1/4.1.1/4.1.2 are the best to use...others have some bugs, missing functionality at this point
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
Is wiping the cache&dalvik enough for 4.1.2?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Depends on what ROM you had before. I came from Virtuous and it was OK. Then I made a full wipe and installed 3.0...after that I did only cache/dalvik wipe. So if you have one of the versions here, you should be ok only wiping cache
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
new boot animation is very cool :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Indeed. Usually I put the blue particles ring animation on all ROMS. This is the first time I've kept the one that came with the ROM. Love it
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Is there any Changelog from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2? I can`t find one!?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Here ;)

[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Oh yes.. I am really blind! :rolleyes:

I just looked at the DHD thread and did not read carefully enough at this one!

Thanks for the ephipany! :)
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
After one day - after a reboot - I lost the text of the massage display again. No idea why - so today I had to recover the old sense-ROM to read the massage.

I'm the only one using Email? Or I'm the only one who has troubles with the massages not shown?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Second option:) I use e-mail and alot since I have work e-mails incoming. All are displayed correctly

Me too, most of the time, only sometimes when open a message through notifications, the text isn't shown (only at black Edition).

But when I close the app, open it again by icon and choose the same mail, it's shown like it should.

on CM9 desire s thread, there's one 15th Feb. 2012 zip package. is this one the most recent ?

edit :

Since I switched to Icecoldsandwich, a lot of adds are coming for free apps in the notifications.

Can anyone tell me how to delete this ? thanks a lot

Just flashed the inv gapps and the nova launcher - very nice!!!!

This would be like the ideal ROM if the camera worked properly :D

Oh and is there an option (cant find one) to make the calendar widget show the month instead of the current day (like the sense one :P)

Battery life seems ok but after flashing these little bits its dropped 5% in about 10 mins.... :s

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Installed it and I must say it's awesome. I'll test and I'm almost sure it'll become my daily ROM for now. Lot of customizations, taken from CM9.

I made also a new presentation video for 2.0, I saw you were asking for one. I must say it's my first video of this kind and due to the short timeframe I had, I've made some mistakes...I said "vampire26" instead of "vampire36" and I forgot to mention Proxuser. I apologize and when I'm back home, I'll try to upload it again. Still, the video presents this great ROM, which is what I wanted to...

My first taste of ICS since the early Virtuous Quattro builds, looking forward to seeing the progress, it looks like you've done a great job with this port so far though!
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
I doubt this is from the ROM, try installing 'Airpush detector' from the Market, I bet you have installed an app that uses Airpush.

OK, got uploaded to mediafire as promised. Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?43bgyx5qpbj32dq

4.2 is up already @ the DHD forum! Gosh, they're incredibly fast! Reminds me of the early stages of mdj's ICS. :)

@ Rapier: thx for uploading the ports, highly appreciated! Could you remove the space before the "ICS" in the file name for upcoming ports? Makes it a little easier to install with CWM ;)
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Decided to give this a quick spin, I can confirm a bug for all CM9 derivatives, Bluetooth pairs fine with my MBP but can't ever send a file across, keeps saying , try again, haven't tried on windows yet.

Over all an excellent progression from the VQ RC3 days for ICS on our device. :)
[HTC Desire S] tookeuss:
is the people app darkened in yours ?

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

ok, thanks i'm gonna try this.

Edit : it worked! No more adds. Thanks a lot
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No, it's not, but I'm using RocketDial/Contacts not the default one and that has an ICS "dark" theme so that doesn't bothers me.

Sorry but I don't know what space you were talking about...I see a space before "AOKP" not before "ICS" (there's no "ICS" in the filename either). Anyways, I made the file name without spaces this time. Hope it's OK.

Now the fun part, here it is 4.2.

Chagelog:

Newest build:

IceColdSandwich - 4.2.AOKP - 03-03-2012 - Community Edition

fixed red square bug from V4.1.1

added patches to video codecs

fixed weather panel for always staying in status bar, no matter what option is selected
