[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Apparently it was someone who thinks I'm not allowed to have a life or family and should do nothing but work on my ROM 24/7.

Sorry it's taken so long guys, and I know I've missed many deadlines I've personally set. Life has been hectic for me for the past few weeks. Mostly due to my family.

As many know, my father is in poor health and has to undergo surgery in the upcoming months that he may not live through. I've been spending a lot of time with him and rebuilding a relationship with him after many years of having a lot of issues with him.

I've been spending a lot of time with him teaching him about computers, android phones and tablets, gaming, and helping him with things he can't do on his own.

While there is internet out there, and I often take my laptop with me, most of the time I have the free time to work on my ROM when I'm there, I'm usually so tired afterwards that I fall asleep before I get anything done.

Also with Android Passions changing webhosts to one that doesn't block Verizon customers, I've been waiting for that to be finished before adding back my thread. Due to that, and a very generous donation from someone, I decided to change webhosts for my personal website and start it over. So I'll be posting all my roms, mods, and tutorials there as well as AP as soon as they're done.

As for work on my rom, what I REALLY need help with is someone that's good with graphics editing to help me with a few things and potential future roms. If someone is willing to help me with it and is experienced enough, they will be more than welcome to join the team. In order to garner further interest, anyone that's good with graphics editing that helps me will also receive 50% of all donations I receive as well as a subdomain with my website with unlimited bandwidth and storage space, and eventually their own domain name so they can show off their work.

Also, if someone is good with graphics AND CSS editing, then I will even be willing to compensate them even more for their help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Heartfelt, thank you.

As a community we appreciate your support for our device.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LunaticSerenade:
You take as long as you need. Family first.

I just want to say that because of your ROM I still use my Incredible (only as a mp3 player and alarm clock, but still). Excellent work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Hanger good luck with your Dad. Take as long as needed. It's because of your ROM that is still use my Inc as my my daily months after I could have upgraded
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superbeak:
Family first man. I may be able to help with battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] orfius christ:
Does anybody have a way to download 2.0a9? And Hanger I hope the best of luck to your father.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Working on the test build for 1.85 right now. Beats has been removed and I added in Dolby SRS instead, as it cleans up the audio much better and doesn't interfere with DSP Manager. Still going through some test builds, but I should have a solid test build tonight, if not a full release. If anyone wants to help with testing the test builds, let me know on google talk.

Also, I will be posting this release on my website first, then Android Passions, and then here. Keep an eye on Hanger84.net for a release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Here's the link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27494175/Abduction-ICS_V2.0a9.zip

Test build #2 of 1.85 is freshly baked. Getting ready to test it now.....if all is well, I'll post the link for it for folks to try out and let me know if they find any bugs before I release it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] orfius christ:
Awesome! Thanks for the link :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Hanger, I know it's a crazy period in your life now, and you have a lot in your plate. I'm curious if you would consider adding PureMotives new battery saving mod. Seems to be working for more than a few people. Thanks for a great ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LauraSakura:
Thanks for all your hard work. Can't wait for 1.85. Will it be available through ROMManager? I hope your father starts feeling better!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I'll look into it and message him to see if it works with ICS and if he is ok with me using it. I may add it as a flashable addon if it causes issues for some people tho.

Yes, the release will be available through ROM Manager, but test builds won't.

I'm gonna make another test build tonight cause I forgot to include a couple things in the one from last night, then I'll post it on my website for folks to download.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Hangar, no worries. You can use it if you want ;)

I haven't personally tested it on ICS, but I'm sure it will work. Some users have reported that it does work with ROMs such as AOKP, which I believe you based Abduction on?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Awesome, thank you. Yea, 1.8 is AOKP, but 2.0+ is a hybrid of AOKP and Evervolv.

Speaking of 2.0+...

When I can afford to order a 50 foot cat 5e cable so I can get my desktop connected to my router, I'm going start working on 2.0+ again. I can't get linux to run on my Macbook, and my wifi adapter on my desktop is crapping out on me, so I gotta get a 50ft ethernet cable so I can get it back online so I can sync repos.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Download rEFIt onto your Mac. It's kind of like Bootcamp so you'll be able to get Linux on that way. After you download the software and installed it, create a partition size using disk utility (I'd say maybe 20-50 GB is good enough). Then do this:

Burn a disk with Linux on it

put the disk into the computer

shut down the comp

reboot it while holding down "C" on the keyboard

now you'll be able to boot from the linux CD

when in linux you can install it directly or use GParted (an app in linux) to set the partition size

I think I covered everything, but let me know if it doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I tried that a few times, but it didn;t work. The big problem is that my MacBook Pro is too new, and it came with OSX Lion on it. If I was able to install Snow Leopard, I wouldn't have any trouble, but since my Mac came with Lion, it's almost impossible to install SL on it unless I have acess to Mac that already has SL on it..... Yea, it's a royal PITA lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Oh I never knew that rEFIt didn't work with Lion... I did find this article. Maybe it'll help with installing Ubuntu?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] downset00:
Abduction 2.0a6 is running awesome. Very fast on stock kernel. No force closes or freezing. Was having problems with other ICS roms but this one is solid!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
It's a9, but yea it's definitely the most stable. Battery life isn't that great, but perhaps using one of the hwa-enabled inkredikernels could fix that. I haven't tried.

I'm pretty excited about 1.85 though. Hoping the stability issues are fixed
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
A9 has hwa?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Yes, all the 2.x versions do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
interesting. im using the cyanogenmod 9 pre alpha rom. how does this one compare to that one?

Oh, and is there a bug list anywhere?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Can't say, as I haven't tried CM9. I can't give up the features in AOKP.

As for bug list, no there's nothing really comprehensive. I think the only real bug in 2.0a9 is the camera preview issue, which	there is a fix for floating around (but I haven't tried it). That's all that comes to mind at least
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
camocorder working? what features does AOKP have that you can't give up?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Not sure about the camcorder... I switched back to 1.8X because I needed better battery life to get through a full round of golf using SkyDroid

As for features I'd miss if I switched to CM, it's mostly the notification bar tweaks (especially the weather panel) and the lockscreen (especially the weather and calendar displays, as well as the quad-unlock), and pretty much all of the other tweaks and stuff available in ROM Control. From what I've seen of CM, it doesn't seem like they've really done a whole lot... and their notification bar toggles are just too basic.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hooya:
After a rather difficult initial setup this ROM looks like I finally found an ICS that will work for a daily. We'll see how well the battery life does for me, but so far none of the serious issues I've had with other ICS (Kang and one MIUI).

What I mean by initial setup:

Google restoring my apps required me to do a few reboots for all the programs to actually install, then I did a Titanium backup of some other apps that didn't restore, then another reboot. Now everything seems to have settled down.

Edit: just tried the camera and the app doesn't really work. Just really glitchy and crashes a lot. That's just the still, camcorder is about the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
What version of the ROM? 1.81 is pre hardware acceleration and will likely have fewer glitches. It may be a tad slower and Chrome won't work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
OK cool. I'm not too worried about the notification bar tweaks. I'm a minimalist and don't even like the ones available in cm9. I guess I'll just stick to what I've got. I get pretty amazing battery life and still have hwa.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I installed version 2.0a6 (I thought the dl link said a9 but my phone shows a6) yesterday and I LOVE this ROM. Great look and feel and great user options. I used the camera fix and now camera and camcorder run fine. My big problem is that battery life in terrible. I may have to flash something else because of it.

My understanding is that the Incredikernel ICS is about as good as it gets for battery life.

Do I need to get off ICS to get good battery life?

Would using the V1.81 version help with battery life?

Thanks Team Abduction for the great work! I hope I can stay with you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
There's a difference between ICS-compatible Incredikernel and ICS-compatible Incredikernel with HWA. Supposedly the HWA-enabled incredikernels are better with battery life, but I havent tried it so I can't confirm.

PureMotive's tweaks are supposed to help with battery life too, but again I havent tried so I cant confirm (I was going to try out his Anthem ROM at one point but then he released his version 3.0 and the heavy theming drove me away super fast).

No, I wouldnt say you need to get off of ICS to get good battery life. I've found that battery life with the 1.8X versions of Abduction has been more than adequate. The tradeoff is stability... 2.0a9 is the most stable, but has the worst battery life. 1.8X has the best battery life, but restarts/freezes often (a few times per day).

I'm hoping that Hanger's new 1.85 version will solve (at least most of) the stability issues.... he seemed just about ready to release it a week ago, but haven't seen anything from him in a little while. Hopefully everything's going OK with this family.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
The file I downloaded said V2.0a9 but my phone also reports build V2.0a6. I wonder there is an error somewhere.

Are you saying that this ROM is HWA but the kernel is not? I have kernel 2.6.38.9-cayniarb-ics-stock-030112+
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
I'm sure hangar uploaded the correct version. The build.prop probably just wasn't updated
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
That kernel is. The phone would not work properly if it weren't an hwa kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
That sounds right.

What about my other question? I don't know anything about hardware acceleration. If the ROM optimized for it but the kernel is not? I would think the dev would have both if possible. Is there a better kernel for a9?

My battery meter looks like a countdown timer :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Kernels without hardware acceleration support just plain won't boot the ROM so if it boots and works it's fine. The stock kernel is fine for hardware acceleration ROMS. But I like incredikernel-hwa-beta 1 which is in the new incredikernel thread on one of like 8 posts.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Thanks much. I'll give hwa-beta1 a try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I'll have it up in the morning...once I wake up. I was gonna push to get it out tonight, but between not feeling well and my meds, I've already had to rebuild the rom 3 times cause I kept messing things up lol

I would have had it released sooner, but I spent the past week helping my dad with some things and didn't have much time while I was out there to finish it and upload it.

On another note, I'm gonna include PureMotives battery script and the Bravia Engine....Beats is gone for now, but I added in Dolby SRS and noticed better sound clarity playing music through the speaker and through headphones. I'm going to release a public test build tomorrow with it and see what everyone thinks of it before I do a full release of 1.85.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
That sounds awesome but you take your time and get some rest. We can all wait a bit. People on the forums always want more and always want it sooner.

Thanks for the great work. This ROM rocks.

So the camera doesn't seem to work with this ROM. It will take pictures, but the preview is totally jacked up. No way to see what you're taking a picture of.

Common problem or specific to my device?

This happens with all camera apps, not just the stock one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
n

There is a fix. I'm tired and can't remember the specifics as I am conflating it with the phone.apk fix. Do search and you will find it. Worked for me. My camera was non functional but fine now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Its funny to see a more fully functioning ics port on the incredible then in the thunderbolt. :rolleyes: good job here hangar.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mushat3k:
Welcome back hanger! You planning on updating the 2.0hwa version? Those were going great places
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Yea, but it will take some time since I have to decompile both AOKP and Evervolv frameworks and merge the Evervolv differences with AOKP so the ROM runs smoother...if I had someone to help me with it, I would be able to get it done much faster.

Thanks =)

I was considering expanding to the Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt with my ROM, but since I don't have access to either, it would be a lot harder to do. Eventually I plan on expanding the ROM to the Rezound though when AOSP becomes available to it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LunaticSerenade:
I'm super happy with 1.82. With the quality of this work, I have no doubts that what you push out next will be fantastic...and will take the according amount of time. No rush. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mbarry55:
Do I need to do something special to get Beats to work? Or is it working and just no notification in the status bar?

I have my DInc setup just to be an MP3 player in my car via aux, no radios/not activated, but I get no Beats notification when I have music playing. thoughts?

edit: I am not on the latest version which says Beats removed, I am on 1.81.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Wow, this is smooth.

I have been messing with a few other roms the last few days but a few little things would pop up, slow down, lag big time, etc. Webpage text would be blurry and then focus, fb wouldn't work with any browser i tried, etc. I see none of that on this rom. Very nice work man.:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pcwolff:
Awesome ROM, started using it yesterday. No problems so far to report. Just wondering, but is it possible to change the unlock icon that you drag on the unlock screen? There seems to be an option for it (unless I'm confusing it with something else) under ROM Control, but even after a restart it does seem to change anything. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I'm pretty sure on the versions that had beats, there was no indication that it was on. It just was.

There's no options to change the unlock icon. The stuff in ROM Control just changes the style of the lockscreen.

However... As with previous versions of the ROM, if the lock screen icon really bothers you, I'm sure you can change it in the framework-res apk. You just cant change the "effect" (in this case the icon growing & glowing).

On a related note...

Hanger, I noticed that you didn't modify the phone icon when you're getting an incoming call, but the alien head still glows behind the unmodified phone icon. Was this intentional?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Ok, I am a little confused here, not to rooting and flashing but to the dinc and the different roms.

I am running Abduction ICS V1.85a5 and i see there's also Abduction ICS V2.0a9 (HWA). I understand v1 is non HWA but I cant seem to figure out what is the difference between HWA and non besides HWA has Chrome.

Are they both the newest builds? One is HWA and the other isn't?

Any link to help a brotha out would be awesome.

And I said it before, the newest v1 is smooth as hell.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Major differences: battery life and flash support.

Medium difference: stability

Minor differences: smoothness and the degree to which the camera works/doesn't work (although there are fixes for the camera).

For the most part they are the same though. But because 1.85a5 is so new, it's built off of a newer version of AOKP, so there are a couple features in there that you cant get in 2.0a9.

I went into a little more detail in the AP post: http://androidpassions.com/index.ph...20a9-hwa-update-5092012/page__st__20#entry827
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Thanks a bunch. Coming from the dx to the dinc is like learning a new language.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
Yes, they are both the latest builds. Hanger posts the builds on Android Passions. http://androidpassions.com/index.php?/topic/55-rom-abduction-ics-v185a5-v20a9-hwa-update-5092012/ Demarcmj has a good comparison here: http://androidpassions.com/index.ph...-v185a5-v20a9-hwa-update-5092012/page__st__20 Post #25.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hooya:
Found the fix, if anyone else is looking for it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23947818&postcount=2977

do:

adb remount

then the push command.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I could be wrong (I don't really have the energy to look), but I do believe someone (in that same thread probably) made it into a flashable zip. So for the adb-averse out there, that may be something to look into.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kevman8396:
Weather in pulldown

Is anyone else having an issue getting the weather to show in the notification pulldown and on the lock screen? I went into ROM control and selected those options
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
It works on the 2.0 version. You might try booting into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, set again in rom control, reboot and see if that does the trick.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
I just flashed CM9 and really like it.... haven't seen any major bugs, battery life and smoothness seem great and it has HWA. How does the 2.0 version of this ROM with HWA compare? It seems that this ROM has quite a bit more features than CM9 so I'm debating trying it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kevman8396:
What Kernel for better battery life?

Does anyone know how to improve battery life on this ROM and if there is a kernel that needs to be flashed in order to achieve better battery life? Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
Hanger, Great Great job on the rom. First aosp rom that I've Ever decided to put on my inc. I've been playing a ton with CM9 on the Nook Color. So im pretty familiar with it. So that's why i was confident enough to try it on my inc. Outside of a few minor issues, I'm pretty happy with it.

I keep hearing all this talk of newer versions of the rom but I can't seem to get to your site to download. Is there different links? Or how long is the site going to be down? Again, Great Job on the rom. I'm not going to have this device much longer but I will rock this until I upgrade. My wife will take this phone over after I upgrade so this will be nice for her to use.

Thanks, Incubus

EDIT: I was able to find v. 1.85a on your site. Is that the Latest? Does it have HWA?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
voice dial on bluetooth

I'm running V2.9 and I love this ROM. I may move to T-mobile so new phone but I will miss this. My dinc is reborn.

For some reason I have noticed that voice dialing over bluetooth does now work on this ROM. The voice recognition simply does not work right, not even close. I have a jawbone icon and it has always performed beautifully. I also tried it with a Plantronics 975 and with 2 different kernels. If I use the phone mic for dialing it works fine. Strange but true.
