Not to compare ROM's but with the kernel most of us use atm we had governor options in Icecold maybe that could solve it, I remember one option to be OnDemand and another SmartAss.

If the freezes are related to device running out of memory then a lowmemorykiller would make sence to solve it.

@incrediblealex, I did use Virtuous, but haven't had many troubles on any of the ROMs, at least its been to long to remember ;)
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Reporting my result with latest 20120425 build. Audio issue is fixed. But two other problems found so far:

Music app reboot the phone (logcat attached)

Can't see text in add widget menu. I guess both text and background are white in color. Highlighted items are ok, though.

I'm still using x-ICS v3 kernel since the default kernel mess up display like earlier version.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
New build is up. Did what I could for touch response and lag. Music app is still borked but that is a wip.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Widget add menu issue has been fixed in build 20120426. Just can't believe I flashed two versions within 6 hours. :)
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
My freezes stopped after i copied the system/lib/egl folder from an older build to my phone (there is something not 100% with the ics binaries from adreno (or with their functioning in the vivo ics roms), the hacked GB libs work much better, i can have five games running at tha same time now :) )
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
From where did you copy those files? I mean which ROM and version.
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
They come from icecoldsandwich 5.5

Some ppl in the ice cold thread found adreno errors in logcats with later builds when their phone crashed. Kaijura sugested to use the old adreno libs and so i did. Smooth sailing now, been over 48hrs without crash , doing a lot of 3d games
[HTC Incredible S] Bionik_kaos:
How do I flash old adreno lids .... can you tell me how please

Thank you
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I think you just copy them over from icecoldsandwich 5.5 but when I tried it and then rebooted my phone wouldn't boot so I'm not really sure how you do it.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
I believe somebody posted a few pages back on which files you should replace. I've never tried it so I can't comment....I dont play games so I have none of these issues.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Actually, before jumping to that conclusion, it seems the vendor folder was never cleaned up when i ported it over to my layout. The files were probably right, if they weren't being overwritten by old versions.

https://github.com/ThePlayground/pr...1ae9e63b084eaf5adc5b9acce4604d9b1911c#diff-31

The short version is that the new firmware was trying to enable old libraries, meaning faults.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Cool I guess this means the freezing should be stopped now? Thanks for the developement
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Not sure, but it makes sense. Building it now to find out.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Quick and probably dumb question.

I see that twisted is making a new build like every day or even more frequently. I assume that these can be every time flashed on top of the older one without full or partial wipe?
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Sometimes. Depends on what changes. If it's an app, wipe that app data. The next one I would say full wipe since it's drivers, the screen setup, and frameworks but in most cases it's just a matter of trial and error that usually ends with not needing to.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Ty, I'll keep on eye on your github changelogs then.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
I try to leave the important stuff in the compile notes. Ill start noting if a full wipe should be needed to make it a little easier.
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
You are very dedicated to us and you don't even have a incredible s.

You are better than jesus :)
[HTC Incredible S] imepv7:
hope we could put this link http://d-h.st/users/TwistedUmbrella/?fld_id=1569#files on the first post as well so everyone is up to date.
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
guys should I use the kernel x-ics-v3-VDD with the latest build or stick with default one in playground? which one you advise? thank you.

one more question > how should I fix the flying panels ?
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
x-ics-v3-VDD, stock still have issues.
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
I'm using latest tiamat with March 26 version of this Rom.
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
After full wipe > installed latest playground > installed x-ics-v3-VDD kernel < MobileVoip is not making calls :( when I press call it just goes in background :(

someone is facing this issue on playground who is using MobileVoip? thank you
[HTC Incredible S] imepv7:
Would love to hear some updates here. Im trying to avoid Tiamat because of freezing issues though I haven't tested it with PG.
[HTC Incredible S] Bionik_kaos:
how is it holding with that kernei ??? play any games ??
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
It is running smooth as butter. I replaced /system/lib/egl/ with one from Ice cold 5.5 as @Psyloid advised. I didn't face yet a single reboot when heavy gaming. That's my combo for now.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
All three device uploads failed twice. Trying a third time.
[HTC Incredible S] Bionik_kaos:
cool i want to try that

.... what files do i flash ???

thank you
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Alright. It's up.

Quick explanation of the graphics lib issue: lordclockan decided to port just the libs and skipped the firmware saying it wasn't needed, then the icecold you have was built using that setup. He saw other sources switch to how I set up and cloned it fixing the issue in the process (since we did have firmware) but the source for the build here was already ported from that layout so the fix was old libs to match old firmware. I add the new layout, but libs are still being overwritten by old versions that are still being imported. The reverse problem occurs from old libs but new firmware. This version aligned the new libs with new firmware in the same build which should fix it.
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
You have to replace that entire folder dude :)
[HTC Incredible S] Andrew_han:
Twisted your amazing! Thanks for spending all this time on a device you don't even have!
[HTC Incredible S] mohdsubaie:
The latest built is not working properly for me. The screen is all bungled up. Something must have gone wrong in the display libraries
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Did you flash another kernel than stock, cause stock makes your screen jump.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I have issue with build 2012-04-26 21:56:23. Just found my phone freezes during sleep. Interestingly the orange LED was still flashing but there's no way to wake up the phone. Had to remove battery to boot again. Never had any similar issue with Playground before. I'm using X-ICS v3 kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Someone could provide logcat for Twisted... No use saying "screen bug!!" He does not have the device, so it's nearly impossible to fix anything from that little information.

I'll try to get logcat of some bugs from the latest build when I get home from Uni.

Edit: Or tomorrow.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Okey... Phone does insta-hotreboot right after startup. How does one get logcat out of that, because adb looses connection(?) right after hot reboot starts :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Can you get into bootloader?
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Sure. Can get all the way to lockscreen, but touching anything at lockscreen (Made it past account login and the initial setup) causes hot reboot bootloop.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Sorry for all my questions.

Is it a clean install?

What kernel are you using?
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Same as you. And yes it was clean.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Just had a massive crash myself caudef by a dev-version of TouchExt. Had to refLash ROM and change version of TE.

I'm leaning towards that your downloaded zip is corrupt, have you tried dl from at PC, transfering to phone via recovery.

@Twisted, as things are more quiet it seems latest version solved the issues ppl had. Pls tell if we can help in any way, you want tests done, files pulled or want us to discuss/request ideas to improve the rom.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
I Might try another kernel. All good at the beginning, but after first reboot "all-hell-broke-loose" Nothing worked.

@ Twisted, Does this ROM have UV? If it does, could you provide something like a script to remove UnderVolting. My phone is not a huge fan of UV, since it freezes even at 1Ghz if voltages cannot be adjusted.
[HTC Incredible S] Bionik_kaos:
antone knows why youtube dont work on 3 g

works perfect on wifi

facebook and other apps is perfect ... why youtube ???

thank you

[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
YouTube works fine for me in 3G. Have you tired clear data?
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
Recently migrated to playground ICS

using the 26.4.2012 version with x-ics-v3-VDD.zip kernel (on ice cold sandwich front page) . very nicely done
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
What ROM are you using cause I see the exact same post from you in the Virtuous ROM thread?

@tzuyang, ye I have a rly hard time finding things for Twisted to do :D
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
Hmm My only problem is that MMS still unfortunately does not work for me on Optus Australia. :( otherwise it looks superbb so far
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Have you posted this problem in the buglist? ( http://twistedumbrella.github.com/Twisted-Playground/ )

If the case is that it was solved on any of the other ROMs then mention that too, so that Twisted doesn't have to invent it all over again.
[HTC Incredible S] Bionik_kaos:
Yes still no go
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Maybe go market, uninstall YouTube, then re-install?
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Going to build a new version shortly. Unity games are fixed, camera is working well, etc. Pretty sure all the kernel stuff was sorted out.
[HTC Incredible S] wai10691:
Tell me that "camera is working well" include native video recording. Haha! Just kidding. Thanks anyway!:D
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Okey, I flashed another kajuras kernel, and no crashes, freezes or nothing. Simply amazing. Even O/C works without any issue, so I assume this kernel has no UV. Really great work. Rom is rock stable so far.

One thing bothers me tho. Seems like I'm unable to get HDSPA connection. Fastest mobile data is 3G and those less than 1mb speeds are pain in the ass. Usually HDSPA is like 10mb and thats what I pay for.

Anyone got any ideas regarding this? Kernel or Rom problem?

Anyway, awesome work Twisted!

EDIT: Managed to get HDSPA working, but its still awfully slow.
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
is there any chance MobileVoip will work? :( thank you
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Haven't tried it but a newer version is up. Link it in the signature. The site was moved to make room for school stuff.
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
There is still a problem with the kernel doing the double screen thing (for lack of a better description). Had to flash a different kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] jpkbeddu:
Installed your latest build dated 29 April, default kernel still causes screen jumps.. Running tiamat kernel and omg camcorder working..

Awesome work bro .

Sent from my Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
OMG, my camcorder is also working. I'm using X-ICS v3 kernel. Thanks twistedumbrella!
[HTC Incredible S] wai10691:
Camcorder is working, but when you record for more than 30 seconds, and stop the recording, it will take forever to save (freeze i mean). Does this happen to anyone else besides me?
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Back in to catch up. Took some time off to do some real life stuff. ROM building/working took too much time the past month, so I put some priority on reality stuff the past several weeks.

I see that twisted has came to aid (I'm glad he did), I will update the thread and stuff with the new information after catching up with the reads.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Tested both Tiamat and X-ICS kernels on the stock app:

1. Viewing through the camera works. (Both)

2. First recording fc's the app after a few seconds. (Both)

3. Cleared app data and it won't respond, just black screen then fc. (Both)

4. Rebooted, and X-ICS recorded but gave me an odd recording, Tiamat gave me a full working recording.

@Kaijura, welcome back man, good to have you onboard again.
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
The MMS problem with Optus (from what I recall with the CM9 based builds) is likely due to possibly a few things:

-The APNs for Optus itself had a duplicate entry with some configurations. You should delete all your APN's and manually re-add everything, there was another thread I made and someone from Optus listed their working settings

-You might need to have Wifi turned on, even if you're not connected to a router. I don't remember which roms this was apparent with, but it's apparent with some.

Other than that, the other common issues is that it's mandatory to have data turned on.
[HTC Incredible S] wai10691:
720p not working that fine for me. Will freeze sometimes.

480p worked just fine. save immediately when I finish record. But not with front facing camera.

Can live with that.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Welcome back, kaijura! Can you integrate Force AC into your X-ICS kernel? I see that twistedumbrella has already added such option in Playground but which requires proper kernel support too to work. Unfortunately his IncS kernel doesn't work correctly at the moment.

You can read more about Force AC here.
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
If I'm read correctly, I think twisted is using the newer kernel base (3.0).

Mine is still on 2.6.35, which is based the older variant. I'd need to do a lot of catching up if I want get back up to speed, but I want to see how things are going first before jumping in or intervening with anything. How is it for those running the latest Playground right now?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I just tried to record a 720p video of about 33 secs successfully. The file size is about 52MB. But I found that the camcorder may seize to work sometime and only a reboot can make it work again.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
You are absolutely right, 480p and things work on both kernels, 1 brain + 1 brain = :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
@Kaijura,

Im curious to know what's the main difference between your

"SOFF_x-ICS-kernel-031712.zip"

And

"x-ics-v3-VDD.zip" kernels. The SOFF one is simply amazing. Haven't had a single problem with it, and my uptime with this rom is currently something like 4 days in a row.
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
Is it just me or does the new rom only allow 160 characters in SMS?

(i just did an upgrade from 26/4/12 + X-ICS3 kernel)
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Hey, didn't see you for quite a long time :)

welcome back..
[HTC Incredible S] jpkbeddu:
For me video recording works in both 480p and 720p even when recorded for 1:30min.. While 480p gives avg 24fps(aka smooth), 720p gives avg 12fps(aka not smooth).. Attached the mediainfo for both 720p and 480p videos...

As told in previous post, video recording through Front camera crashes Camera app and needs reboot...

And I kinda feel battery drain with Tiamat kernel.. Do anyone feel so ?
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
If there's any diff between them please post a link for SOFF one cos I'm willing to try it.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
@Kaijura, the ROM have taken big steps throughout the last few versions. You can provoke reboot from the browser if you really irritate it. The Circle Battery mod would be awsome if that could be implemented.

All in all the ROM fits my everyday needs and functions properly.

My hopes for this ROM is that it keeps true to ICS stock design but ends op having alot of options to change the look and feel, for us that like to change everything once in a while. A variety of the great mods made out there.

Other than that, tell us what we can do to help, we know that Twisted haven't got the phone himself, but what we can do to help him improve the ROM other than finding bugs, would be great to know.
[HTC Incredible S] imepv7:
the link to the first is here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=952565&d=1332049570

the second one is located on the first post in IceColdSandwich ROM thread...This one is the latest kernel for Kaijura's ICS roms if im not mistaken. And they are both for S-OFF's
[HTC Incredible S] ajis cullens:
Hey guys..i already flash this rom today..its going smooth..

but..why my touch sound is not working?? i already turn the sound on..but its still the same..camera working well..but in instagram...its suck..cannot crop after taking picture

have any idea???
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Instagramm is bit focked up. I suggest that you take pic with stock camera, then choose it in instagram, it might freeze in middle of cropping but just wait for the forceclose and start it again. For me worked on the second try.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Its running ok however for me the freezing and rebooting issue is still there

Also have you seen how nexx is doing with the kernel 3 for the desire s?
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
That explains why porn and stock browser makes my phone reboot... :rolleyes:
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
+1 for LOL
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
I suggest you try the kernel I talked about on the previous page. No reboots by stock browser or anything.

Tho things like camcorder wont work.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Man, I asked for that one :D

+1 for catching it
[HTC Incredible S] ajis cullens:
Thnx @inSaN1Ty_X

but why my touch sound is not working???any solution bout this matter??

im using kernel X ICS V3..
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
I had to post that before I could actually read your whole post:D

Anyway, feels like it's time to move on from ice cold sandwich now...
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
It's there just really low. The new sound set is meant to be a bit less overkill.
[HTC Incredible S] giudicealdo:
Hi folks,

Is this rom already out of its beta stage? I saw beta7 until few days ago. Is this the final release?
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Flashy new label, same great beta taste. Not quite yet.
[HTC Incredible S] TheBeardedDoom:
Screen jumping

I did a full wipe and installed this morning but was getting wierd screen jumping issues, when typing in my gmail etc during setup process it was entering wrong letters etc. After I got through that it got no better. The launcher at the bottom had half the icons poking out from beneath the bottom icons etc. Rewiped and installed same again. Is this a dpi issue?
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
It's a kernel issue. Flash a different kernel and all should be good. Chk some of the previous posts.
[HTC Incredible S] TheBeardedDoom:
Ok tried Tiamat and cam camcorder and mms are all working ok for me. The mms thing will need to be reported on again though because on ICS and playground I have had it work then stop working, so I will keep flogging it over the next few days and report back any issues. I like it so far though. Camcorder works 720p landscape and portrait, and for as long as I want it seems. No freezes or FCs on anything as yet. I did switch out nova for apex (used to apex now after ICS!)
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Maybe it's just me, but it seems that battery life improved quite a bit.
[HTC Incredible S] owendesira:

[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
Which kernel did you go with?
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
I can confirm Camcorder is working with tiamat kernel (first time i had a force close made a restart then worked ) but MobileVoip is still not working :( ( when I press call voip it just goes in background) like the rom is not leting the mobilevoip to use the mic or smth.
[HTC Incredible S] mohdsubaie:
Did you try using an app like csip for mobile VoIP?
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
sorry guys but what means in camera app:

Power Sutter?

Store Location?

External SD < as I understand > when it is on it saves the pictures to SD?

thank you guys
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Power shutter - power button works as the shutter button

Store location - save location data to picture

External sd - doesn't apply to this device but decides which type of storage to use
[HTC Incredible S] imepv7:
Tiamat is for S-OFF only as far as I know. I would strongly suggest that you S-OFF your phone if you're after ICS roms. Use Nonverbose's thread/forum. It worked for me. Otherwise use the kernel from IceColdSandwich 7.2 for S-on IncS'.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
x-ICS-v3-VVD

next to that I went into: System settings -> Performance -> Processor -> CPU governor -> choose smartass v2
[HTC Incredible S] owendesira:
Could you link that thread pls?
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Tiamat can be flashed by both kinds, only difference is how it needs to be done. I doesn't effect the ROM, all you need is root. S-OFF is through the ROM itself or flashasble zip in recovery. S-ON will need manually to fastboot flash the boot.img

[HTC Incredible S] mdk83:
Does the mms work with this kernel? Cuz with tiamat it does, and i know that kaijura kernel is newer...
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
I'm a bit confused now, which kernel should i go for kaijura or tiamat??

does any of the two have any drawbacks, which is more stable?

I don't want to undervolt, i want a stable kernel for daily use that can OC my phone to 1.2Ghz and has working camera and camcorder

Thanks in advance !!!

(i'll go with Tiamat for now, unless someone has a good argument to take the kaijura one)
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
No mms with optus on the x3 kernel does not work.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
I suggest this: "SOFF_x-ICS-kernel-031712.zip" As far as I'm conserned it does not have undervolt like kaijuras other kernel, the x-ics-VDD. With this (SoFF_x-ICS) kernel I get working camcorder, and no FC's on camera app :) also oc to 1.5ghz
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
What about mms ??
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Well the onlyone I've sent stays stuck in the 'sending'. Also mobile mobile connection is damn slow. Hardly ever uses HSDPA.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
It seems that all ics roms are not working well enough for a daily driver. Hopefully the HTC ics release in June should change that.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Seems to be just this device then...
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Its been my daily since 6.2.2. Everything works fine. The camera isn't as clear as I'd like but its not the end of the world. Mms can just be sent over whatsapp instead. Other than those 2 things I dont see why ICS isn't viable for the incredible.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
I've used almost every ICS ROM ever made for Incredible S and everyone of them has been more than capable for daily use... excluding the first Niks ICS which was pre-pre-pre alpha.

I wonder what you do with your phone if you can't use like Playground for daily driver.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Not to say this rom is bad because it isn't :)
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
maybe just you then ...hmmm
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I don't want to start an argument. I was just saying that for anyone who needs their phone working all the time as a daily driver they shouldn't use this rom because it still has some bugs which is HTC fault and not twisted or anyone else's
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Trust me, I disregard the daily driver arguments. It could be my fault, it might not be. Some people get everything they wanted, others don't. Opinions are like @$$holes, everybody has one.
