Just gave 2.0 a shot to see if the smoothness has increased.

It has dramatically increased in some areas, but has decreased in others.

Swiping between homescreens on apex/nova seems to be a bit more choppy now. In addition, the transition between app launches seems to be very choppy. On the version without HWA these seemed to act smoother.

However, the app/widget drawer has shown a huge increase in FPS. It is perfect for all intents and purposes. Scrolling through lists seems to have improved as well.

Everything else seems to be working as usual.

I dont know if what I mentioned being choppier is due to limitations of our Adreno 200, but it certainly seems like a step in the right direction after seeing how fluid the app drawer was. Hopefully over time the rest gets ironed out. Amazing work Hanger!

i have some free time. if someone with the most current framework-res.apk on there phone that doesnt like the android i can make a zip for you guys. please post here and i will get to it asap
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I would, but when I try to use the attach files option it tells me "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing." :(

EDIT: Nevermind. It worked now. I uploaded the most current one and also an older one (before the change).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
thank you. i dont have photo shop at work so i was going to have to hunt the pngs. lol i will get this up in like 10min

Edit:

Please have a backup before flashing this.

also please test to make sure emmc is still working, i have to way to test this because i am at work. thanks

If you only knew lol

Tiny, just thought I should mention that he's included my NeoVolt-aggressive script into the rom and has already had to tweak my original settings for user stability.

For any who may not have known, this rom does in fact come undervolted :)

Also, for those who are trying to decide betweek AOKP and Abduction? Think Full AOKP with added abilities? You get MORE.

EDIT: Unless you took it out Hanger?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I cant test right now because I had to downgrade to CM7 so I could have flash for watching basketball games while at work. I'll be able to test later if nobody else does before then.

Thanks

EDIT: Good lord. I feel like I've gone back to the stoneage using CM7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
I believe Hanger took the undervolting script out of the non-HWA roms at Tiny's request. It is available as an addon on the OP page.

Edit: Neo, what are the voltage adjustments made in your script?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yelloguy:
LOL! So true. Enjoy the stability though. You know it will do exactly what you want it to do while sipping on battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
It turns out the 1 bar of signal I get at my desk isn't enough to stream games. On my way back up to Abduction 2.0a9. At least I'll get to test out synisterwolf's lockscreen fix. Stay tuned...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
LOL

10 char....

im still on cm7 for my daily work phone. i cant experiment with new ics builds because i need it for work. but the weekends i like to see what's new and exciting. :D great progress. my dev phone has it on it but i cant bring it to work or i wouldnt get work done nor does it have a data plan so not to much "real" world testing. lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
No dice on the lockscreen fix, wolf. It still has the line expanding from the center of the lock instead of moving out from the side.

EDIT: Also, I'm not sure how to tell whether or not the emmc works, since I don't use it for anything. I can say that when I go to system settings > storage, it shows internal storage as 748MB. I would think that would say ~8GB if emmc worked, right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
round 2 will be on its way soon. lol

ok so to test if emmc is working please place a picture on it with any file explorer app, like root explorer, and go to gallery and see if you can see it in there. if you can then emmc is working correctly, if not i will have to do this mod at home because i dont have my notes here with me at work.

edit:

same rules apply
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Testing... stay tuned

Location of Abduction ICS v2.0a9

Guys, sorry about the ignorance but can someone enlighten me on where the Abduction ICS v2.0a9 zip is located? I am looking at the main page and it points to v1.8. Appreciate your response.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
It's over at AndroidPassions.com

There should probably be a link to the AP forum on the OP, but that is Hanger's prerogative. I suggested it once before.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
im so excited!!!!! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Phone isn't booting. It got to the Optimizing Applications (or whatever) and then restarted once it got through them all. Now it's just stuck at the boot animation...

I'll do a wipe and try again...

For future reference, should I have wiped cache and or dalvik cache before flashing that?

Usually I only do these things when I'm initially flashing the ROM, so I don't have a whole lot of experience flashing stuff later on in the game.

EDIT: While I'm flashing I'm going to take a moment to rant about CWM. ClockworkMod Recovery is a fantastic piece of software. I'm sure whoever made it is pretty intelligent. That being the case, why the F doesn't he (or she?) know the very basic rules of alphabetizing things... CAPITALIZATION DOESN'T MATTER! I'm tired of having to scroll past half of my SD card to get to a folder that should be near the top, only because for some reason they decided to put all the folders that start with capital letters ahead of the ones that start with lower-case.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] prchohan:
Thanks a lot demarcmj.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
Yeah sorry i forgot to say you need a full wipe because its a framework mod. if you cant get it to boot. im going to need to wait till im home to do the mod because im going off my memory and not my notes i have. sorry for making you go through all this. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Not a big deal. I hadn't even finished recovering everything from the first wipe yet.

OK, so something interesting happened. It boots up to the welcome screen (the first screen of the account setup) but there's an "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" message. When I press OK on the message, the phone goes back to the boot animation for a bit, then repeats what I said above.

I'll just go back to what I had before for now...

Thanks for your efforts, wolf
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
i need to go through my notes and see what i did to the framework.jar i have to work really late tonight and tomorrow so it wont be till this weekend. sorry again i thought i could remember the steps but i cant. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Yea, I took it out and added it as an addon option. Undervolting doesn't work for 2.0+ because the stock kernel doesn't support it.

Wolf, I''l message you the info on gtalk in a little bit if you want and your not busy. Just woke back up lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WildZontar:
Everything's sounding pretty good so far. How about the recently-implemented hardware acceleration? Is the general performance of the unit sluggish or stuttery with HA turned on/off?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
Wondering how sluggish this is when compared to Sense 3.0 or 3.5 ROMS? Is it better or worse than those in its current version?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
I wouldn't describe this version as sluggish; nor would I describe the 3.5 sense roms I used that way. On some apps, there might be a slight lag, but as a whole, this rom is fast and smooth. I'm using it as my DD. I did flash the latest Tiamat kernel so I could get the SA2 governor and adjust the voltage to get better life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Camera is working in 2.0 now....sorta. You can take pictures and use the Panoramic mode, but the preview doesn't show of what the camera is seeing. I got video recording working better than in 1.81, but it still crashes the app. The progress is slow, but it's better than no progress at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WildZontar:
In the general sense, I'm just wondering if the Adreno 200 is as really underpowered for ICS as every major company says it is.

For example, is there jerkiness in scrolling? Navigating the UI? If so, is it so bad as to be noticeable? Basically, what's the users' general impression of HWA on this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
As soon as you start using it (particularly once you turn on "Force GPU Rendering") you'll notice changes in quite a few apps.

Scrolling through your apps list in the Launcher works great, but anything that scrolls and tiles turns into a total chunkfest. A very pretty chunkfest, but a laggy, chunky slideshow nonetheless. Facebook, Maps, and Chrome are very obviously laggy. You'll be able to watch tiles progressively render, and sometimes they'll stall for a few seconds. Simple mobile pages aren't too bad, but more complex layouts (like the thread listing on XDA) can be brutal.

I can see why Google and OEMs aren't putting ICS on Adreno 200 devices -- heavy optimization would help, no doubt, but I don't think that any amount of work is going to make it broadly acceptable.

However, Google Chrome is a better enough browser on Android in so many other ways that it's worth putting up with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Hanger this was posted in the increidkernel thread. I think that is ROM teeritory but I haven't really looked.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/qualcomm-releases-adreno-2xx-gpu-binaries-for-ics/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYC Coyote:
Wholly crap... this will undoubtedly help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
I too have come to the conclusion that the primary reason Google did not put ICS on our device and the Nexus One is due to the shoddy Adreno 200. I guess I'll be riding out the rest of this phone's time on gingerbread, which is a bit upsetting because my upgrade isn't til June and I'm screaming for some (smooth) Ice Cream!

Edit: Whoa! Just noticed that qualcomm released the binaries for the adreno 200! Absolutely amazing. They have renewed my faith in them. Here's to hoping this leads to smoothness!

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
wow. thats awesome that even the chipset manufacturers are still supporting us! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WildZontar:
The marginal performance in some spots hopefully has to do with the hacky HWA implemented thus far.

Here's hoping the official Qualcomm drivers just released will fix things up! It's worth a shot, anyway...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I wonder if this means other kernels will work without modification. In fact I have a feeling the hwa kernels will not work with the official binaries but it should be smoother overall.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
the question is... are there any dev's left that build from source to get this going...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
Hanger said he's going to play with it early next week after his current build is released. I'll be honest I'm pretty psyched! lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jtkes693:
according to caynairb the binaries have been unofficially release for awhile so it might not be as helpful as previously though
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nicatronTg:
I don't believe that those are ICS builds though. We're still using hacky techniques, this should at least add some stability.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
I kinda want to try but I think I may be treading on some toes since I'm sure the Abduction team is going to implement this and end up doing one helluva job.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmalkin:
I think most devs will appreciate any help they can get, as long as they receive appropriate credit for their work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYC Coyote:
I think that any help given would be greatly appreciated... getting a completely working ROM is a monumental task....

If you got the chops and the skills... see if you can make a flashable zip to add to this. If it works.. share it.. and share with the devs what you did
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BluesHawk:
I suggest heading over to AndroidPassions and discussing it with them in "The Box" chat room I'm sure they'd appreciate any help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I underestimated the difficulty of getting these drivers in. I thought it would be a file replace but it wasn't that simple - maybe it was something I did though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] prchohan:
Ugly blue Android on the incoming call

Hey guys, can someone tell me how to remove the blue android that appears on the incoming call (before it's accepted or rejected)? This is driving me nuts. I worked around the blue android on lock screen by choosing a pattern lock but can't see how to remove/change this. Thanks for your help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I'm gonna work on the new drivers on monday and see what I can do.

Working on V2.0.1 right now. It should be up on Android Passions in a couple hours or less. I did some tweaking and the ROM FLIES now. You folks will just have to see and judge for yourself, but for me the speed doubled. So get over to Android Passions and register and check my thread for the update and release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
You bastard!

(just kidding, you rock)

I was going to go to bed, then I saw this. Now I don't want to. :-/ Ha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Here's the link to the post on Android Passions where 2.0.1 can be found.

http://androidpassions.com/forum/in...-updated-3122012/page__view__findpost__p__871
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Like the lockscreen (discussed earlier), you can replace the blue android files in the framework-res.apk with ones from an older version of the rom. The problem with that is, the code that makes the blue android grow is still there. So, when you put the old images back in, it will still act a little funny.

Synisterwolf indicated that he may work on making a flashable mod to fix it this weekend, although I don't know if that's just the lockscreen or if it will include the phone as well. We'll see.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Is the kernel placed in there supposed to not be touched? I was going to flash the ics kernel but I'd figure I'd ask before I do something I regret.

Either way, it runs entirely smooth. No rotation reboots or errors, haven't been able to test the battery yet so I can't comment.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] downset00:
First off..great rom!!! I'm new to ICS roms and I must say that I'm very impressed. Two issues I'm having though, not sure if it is ICS related or the rom. Is there a way to block ads? I have tried Ad away and Ad free but neither block ads like they did on gingerbread. Also, does flash video not work? Can't seem to load any videos from websites.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
If you're going to flash v2.0.1 either the stock kernel included is fine or the only two custom kernels I'd flash are from tiamat's web site at tiamat-dev.com and it's just the two ICS marked kernels there. Actually four but there's two versions of each kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iloveco:
Abduction

OMG...I'VE BEEN ABDUCTED!! This is the BEST ROM I've ever seen. Thanx Hanger84 you ROCK!! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
Has anyone compared this to the AOKP Milestone 4 that was recently released?

I tried to DL this but got a corrupted download. I'm wondering if it's worth my time considering I've been enjoying AOKP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iloveco:
I tried both Abduction & Milestone 4 and found that you have more home screens (9 for Abduction to 7 for MileStone 4) & docks (5 to 3). I also found Milestone 4 to lag a little which I have not seen in Abduction.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
That's due to the launcher included in the ROM and not a setting in the ROM itself. Abduction ships with Apex and AOKP MS4 uses Nova I think. I haven't tried Milestone 4 but I think Abduction has been smoother than previous AOKP releases and I don't think AOKP has added HWA yet.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I think this ROM uses a lot of AOKP feature wise so it should have all the features as the AOKP milestone release except more tweaking and updates to improve performance on this phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nalij:
Same here I've had an upgrade available for over a year now and just when I think I might retire the Dinc I end up flashing something new and it keeps on kicking.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
I'm not at all new to the Rom scene, but I am new to ICS.

With the camera issues we are having - would it be possible to flash a different camera to get by until things we get worked out? The MIUI would be awesome, or even am earlier version from CM would be fine. Would this work?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Market cameras, other cameras from different roms don't work. That I know of, I've tried to install certain things from cm7 to ics or miui to ics.

Think its because its not ics compatible...

Hmm.. well I'd best stay with the og kernel put in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I got a message back from Mongoose about the camera, and it seems all versions on ICS on the Inc that have HWA have issues with the camera. drewis and rapmv78 are working on getting the camera working. So, on that note....it looks like the camera fix is still a bit off for now. I have a thought on something that might get it working, but I'm going to relay it to Mongoose and see what he thinks.

I'm gonna work on getting p12 kernel and libs working, but I suspect the issue I'm having is the changes to the kernel. So, someone that's good with kernels might be able to help there (coughTinycough) lol

Other than that, I'm gonna see about getting the released Adreno 200 libs working. but only after I get p12 libs and kernel working. And sometime tomorrow I'll release the lockscreen addon that changes the blue android back to the default one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
As far as kernel devs, Chad is way better. Most of my work has been pulling in patches and occassionally resolving issues that result from them. And the original gingersense kernel was trial and error that would not have succeeded without Chad's suggestion to disable the camera in the kernel and see if it boots and then it booted and I eventually was able to get the camera fixed with his help.

As far as camera not working, my theory is that it will work once the official adreno libs are in place.

So the kernel in p12 is different than Abduction or AOKP? I don't know as I haven't been following Inc ICS for like 3 months until I read recently about how far along it came and when I heard AOKP supports Inc now.

As far as how to fix it for your ROM, most likely Evervolv's github may have a clue.

Here is the github link:

https://github.com/Evervolv

I may try it this week but first Mass Effect 3 is calling my name to be completed. Almost done though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
lol your gonna hate the ending.....

The kernel in my rom is the stock kernel thats used in Evervolv p10. I switched from Incredikernel cause I wanted the HWA and all the features from AOKP and more. p12 though, they made some changes to the kernel and some of the libs...which unfortunately makes it difficult to get it working in my rom. I can probably get it working, but it's gonna be a pain in the rear end lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Try this then. Swap the boot.img from the one in p12 and see what happens with the new libs. I don't expect it to work but its worth a shot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Erm... maybe its just me but instead of charging its draining.

Anyone perhaps is having a similar issue?

Edit: it all went downhill about an hour or so later.

My status bar disappeared and the rom has become painfully slow, almost as if it was in its baby stages.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Konshu:
No issues there, though I am not sure if its Verizon or me, but data seems to be significantly slower recently. I am going to instantly assume its Verizon considering recent events.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] prchohan:
Thanks Hanger84. Were you planning to put in the fix for Blue Android on incoming call screen (in addition to lock screen) as well?

Btw I am on 2.0.1 and it seems great (coming from CM7). Obviously camera is a no-go like everyone else. I do see slow scrolling on Chrome and occasional slow performance/hangs. Looking forward to the improvements and thanks for all the hard work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
I hate to burst everyone's bubble about the released ICS drivers but they're apparently the same as what's already been available for us... this comes from multiple dev sources. Meaning we've peaked in our graphical smoothness factor.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I wouldn't call it a "fix" since that would imply there is some sort of problem. He did say that at some point he may provide a flashable removal script, but I'm thinking that's probably low on his list of priorities. If it's really bothering you, you could try talking to Synisterwolf over in "The Box" on AndroidPassions.com since he had been tinkering with it last week.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Found what you were referring to, a comment made by Ricardo Cerquira on this post.

"No. There's nothing new on those drivers other than additional debug. They're functionally the same binaries we've been using from early ICS releases by vendors."

However, that was posted a few days ago when the impact of the binaries was even questioned here. At this point, I believe it is still indecisive and we'll just have to wait and hear from Hanger if he finds them of use or not. There's still hope... ;)
