[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
Introduction

Teamhacksung (the rest of them really!) has been porting ICS (to be CM9) for the Galaxy S and they feel that it has reached a state where it would benefit from public testing. However this is still a very early versions and there will be bugs. Bug reports are allowed in this thread only. Please check the known issues section before reporting a bug. The most minor bugs are welcomed (we'd love to know them, but we may not fix them instantly).

Installation

- First time flashing ICS to your Vibrant (or coming from another ROM)?

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo

Do a Nandroid backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

Optionally install the Google Addon

WIPE again or Calendar Sync will not work.

- Upgrading from CM7?

Do a Nandroid Backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

Optionally install the Google Addon

- Coming from onecosmic's ICS build?

Do a Nandroid Backup!

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

Optionally install the Google Addon

If radio doesn't work, go back to Samsung ROM and flash from there.

- Upgrading from another build of ICS by teamhacksung?

Do a Nandroid Backup!

Note: The upgrade process from CM7 to ICS is automatic, but downgrading from ICS to CM7 (or restoring Nandroid) requires flashing twice. Once from ICS and again from CM7's recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

My calendar sync isn't working!

Install the latest build and gapps and gapps fixer. If it still doesn't work, wipe your data.

App X isn't working!

Check the list at http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1402210 (unaffiliated with teamhacksung) first and check if it works on other ICS phones. Most likely, it's the application's problem, not ours.

Can I mount the phone as mass storage via USB?

Starting from BUILD12, mass storage is the default configuration (might not apply to existing installations). The below command can be used to change into USB Mass Storage mode. USB Mass Storage mode is always used in recovery.

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

If you want to switch to MTP mode use

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb

Please reboot after executing the command.

I can't adb into the phone!

Please install Nexus S drivers from Google. (Or Galaxy Nexus's driver in MTP mode)

Can I flash other modems?

You may flash modem packages designed for CM7.

How do I take a screenshot?

The screenshot taking function is built into ICS. Hold volume down + power.

Can I use CM7 kernels?

No, the kernel has modifications to make graphics, camera, data counter and data limit work.

Can I disable LED Notification?

Yes. Untick Settings -> Display -> Pulse notification light.

Maps keeps asking me to sign in even though I'm signed in!

Ignore the sign in dialog and pull down the notification menu. Answer the request for permission. Do this a few times and Maps will work.

How do I enter Galaxy S Settings (Device Settings)?

Type "am start com.cyanogenmod.AriesParts/.AriesParts" from adb. Or starting from BUILD 7, it is available as an icon in your launcher.

Is there a Captivate version?

A captivate build from the same source (but with captivate config) is available here.

What's working? Why is there only a list of issues?

Everything else not listed are supposed to be working (aside from the usual CM7 bugs). If they're not listed, please post so that they can be added to the list of issues. A list of issues is far more useful from a development standpoint.

Why am I getting notified that my data partition is getting full when I have 1+ GB free?

Your /datadata partition, a smaller partition, is getting full.

I want to install gazillion apps on my phone and /datadata is too small

Run the following and datadata will no longer be used on next reboot. Your phone might become slower though.

touch /datadata/.nodatadata

IRC?

#cmsgs on freenode

My adb shell isn't root!

Run "adb root" to restart adb in root mode.

Why is "Android OS" battery usage so high?

It's just a reporting change in ICS. Android OS now includes battery usage from more components than in Gingerbread, the actual battery drain is the same.

What is "Random Offset" during installation?

It's just a harmless message given as a verbose logging due to the new ASLR security feature in ICS. It is not an error.

How do I get the latest version of Rom Manager without market?

If the bundled version doesn't work, update from http://download.clockworkmod.com/rec...RomManager.apk.

I would like feature X

This thread is not the place for it. Submit it to the CM bug tracker once an official RC is released.

Thanks
