Not to argue then :D This is my every day driver and its working. Other than that I am doing all I can not to kill this developer so that we can finally see an ics ROM at its release state.

I keep in mind to help those asking, and provide the material Twisted needs, everything else is just killing yet another well thought project. I keep in mind that this is done free of charge.
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
LOL, so far i'm very pleased, there is one thing though that can't be that hard, on this device i can't set the torch on/off in the power widget for the notification bar; it would be nice if you got the time to fix it, but it aint a urgent/deal breaker
[HTC Incredible S] husky69:
Pls excuse me in case I overlooked the info, but is tethering working on Playground ICS? I don't care whether it's USB or WiFi, but I do need it working...

@twisted - Do we still need to flash a separate kernel with today's release?
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Would it be possible for someone to post what kernel and other mods they are using with playground to give the best stability?
[HTC Incredible S] wai10691:
Tried the latest version and tapping on Music app still cause the phone hotboot

Edit: Tried with PlayerPro, same thing happen. I don't think it let me to open up any music app
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I jus tested this on the IncS and it is crazy, the screen is jumping all over the place and multiple copies of the menus are popping up, I think it's something to do with the navigation bar but I tried enabling and disabling it and no change, not even useable... anyone else have this issue??? going to try a clean install again, hoping it will work...
[HTC Incredible S] wai10691:
Sir, try to use the x-ics v3 kernel by kaijura. that one works for me. the rom is stable with that kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Thanks man I'll try that :) very new to Playground.
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
I can confirm this, Playground ICS is very stable with Kaijura's kernel v3. Great rom, and looks amazing blackened :D

Great work twistedumbrella, thanks for supporting a device you don't own and making such a great rom.

Just installed over previous version everything I tried except for music seems to work,I installed win amp and it works perfectly,I am really impressed with this rom!

One question is superSU pro compatible with this rom.?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Thanks for the help guys, works great with Kaijura's Kernel! Excited to finally try this out :)
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
The most recent version included the tiamat kernel, so flashing a new one shouldn't have been required.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I totally needed the kernel to even make the ROM usable, but now that it is I LOVE IT!!! I'm tweaking my theme right now to work on Playground because it is awesome!!! Thanks Twisted :D
[HTC Incredible S] Andrew_han:
Sorry I'm just curious, what is different about a 3.0 kernel?
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
thank you.

p.s. it is just on my phone or on every phone the camcorder sometime is not working or giving force close < only restart is helping?

> tried both kernels: tiamat and kajura < which kernel you advise to use?

thank you again guys!

mobilevoip still goes in background otherwise everything is ok :(

Guys im getting Camera Fc in the new build 02.05.2012, It freezes when im doing sharp moves, and then i get Fc. Weird, anyway went back to previous build, more stable for me.
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
Twisted i wanted to pm you , but i can't so i will post it here:

Hiya twisted ,

So yesterday i changed from icecold to playground on my vivo (incredible s) and i know you do not care, but sorry i liked icecold better .... so what i wanted to ask is some assistance in porting over the new camerahal libs and the fixed adreno binaries to the last build of icecold sandwich (kaijura stopped developping the rom). Just tell me which files i should extract from your rom to replace the ones in icecold sandwich and then i am good :) afterwards i will offcourse post the updated rom on the forum so everyone can enjoy the camcorder and have no crashes when using 3d games. It goes without saying that you, lord and kaijura will be credited as the real authors of it.

Nb: i cannot build from source, so i need to copy over the updated files from one rom to the other

Many thanks from me and the other icecold users !!!!

SOFF_x-ICS-kernel-031712.zip seems to allow me to OC to 1.5GHz

the X-ICS V3 freezes every now and then at even 1.2GHz.

I wonder if there are any fundamental differences?

I wonder if kaijura could make a V3 without undervolting?

or does anyone know what the voltages of the 031712 are so i can emulate it on V3?

many thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
My opinion: We suffer from lack of kernel development. I wonder if there will be any good soul to help us out when HTC new kernel is released.

Current kernel is not much optimized as it could be.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Hey Guys,

not sure if anyone cares or not but I made a special Playground version of my theme that is available on my Blackened Frost Thread. If your interested you can check it out from the link in my Sig. HUGE thanks to TwistedUmbrella for this awesome ROM, I just made the switch from IceCold and I am loving it!!!
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Once the 3.0 source comes out I will have another go at the kernel dev, I got quite far with my gingerbread one until I let it go due to lack of interest.

OMFGWTFBBQSAUCE KAIJURA IS TAKING OVER THE DEV FORUM [/douchelock] Seriously though, thanks for bringing all these great projects here.

I have a question about these projects if you know the answer. Do any of these roms have the recently released adreno ics binaries from qualcomm? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/qualcomm-releases-adreno-2xx-gpu-binaries-for-ics/ or are they still using "hacks"?

Seriously considering giving this a try as I did have stability issues with ice cold. According to stress test results it stems from one of the music apps.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
@Kaijura

I have the same problem on this ICS ROM. How can I create an account in calendar that doesn't take my dates to the cloud? No Google sync, no exchange account, just plain and simple sync to PC. No transfer to any other account, no giving away dates & meeting details to google. Any method of adding pc sync as an account to the calendar app, like it's available on sense ROMs?

[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
DAMN bro nice find, I really want to see this come to reality soon and sorry kiajura a lot off topic but what do you think even though you have enough on your plate
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Even BBQSAUCE,lol

nicely done kaijura :D
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Only one question, this or icecold?

Hmm, hard choice :(
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
@Nonverbose

my new builds all have the updated Qualcomm libraries, or you can just push them over yourself to the current roms if you need them right now, I'm 90% sure it might work but not sure if the missing line for libgles_android.so will affect anything. These are binaries so you just replace em :p

Splux, if you prefer stability, this is the right rom for those with the reboot problems. It's rock solid. I haven't updated the kernel and graphics in the first upload, but I will with the new build.

The same goes for IceCold right now.

[HTC Incredible S] bigeyes0x0:
I tried this ROM first before going to IceCold. The problem I had with this ROM beside the camera preview doesn't show up before first shot is its cell location doesn't work. I don't know if I missed something but AFAICT IceCold seems to be more stable ATM.
[HTC Incredible S] muk12:
I have been using this ROM from past 24 hours ,great battrey life and no random reboots.

Great work Kaijura!!

[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
New version updated in OP! Some minor fixes and is up on first post now.

It's cause twisted's WIP in the camera hal that might change the usually normal function of the camera sometimes. Right now he's working on the bugs with the camera overlay and mentioned he might have to rewrite it.

You can force preview by pressing the settings > Force Preview if you get a black screen before the first shot (you will have to exit the app first), and it should work.
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Softkey light fixed

Just found out that twisted's rom has a permanent solution to softkey light disappearing! :eek:

☆Disappearing softkey lights☆

Fix in this rom: Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > [Light levels] > Use Cusom > Edit Other levels;

Set all numbers on right side Buttons section to 255 (max) or 30 (low) and your lights will never turn off.

Won't work in Ice Cold because it is broken there, might be related to AOKP code that conflicts with it.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Uhm, tried it out but went back to IceColdSandwhich...

Had 2 reboots in 5 minutes, decided to try to wipe and reflash, again, and also try Tiamat kernel, no luck. Was still getting reboots...

Weird, reboots all the time on this ROM but I've not had a single reboot on IceCold... :P

Got any ideas of what I could try if I decide to try again?
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
My fault, I enabled something in the 3-17 update that causes reboots just like Ice cold 5.6.1 does. This should be back to normal now for 3-18 and uploaded with details in OP.

There is also the new softkey rotation script by St.Matt now in there and should now be rotating without losing the lights. You may have to define backlight levels first as said in post #33.
[HTC Incredible S] TonyStark23:
Just flashed this, love the bootscreen =P Should be standard haha.

Shall see if anything is broken or not working but if its more stable than IceCold I'll be happy, kinda got annoyed with it after the 5th reboot =/
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
5 reboots on 5.6.1, that's odd? :(
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Hopefully it is better, some of the random reboot issues may have been caused with the AOKP mods in there. This base is really kosher with CM9/pure AOSP, so theoretically following this chain of thought there should be more stability and probably battery life as well.
[HTC Incredible S] shahulvm:
Jumped ship from Icecold and playgroud seems to be too good...all that I miss is smartassv2 gov, which I am googling for module..
[HTC Incredible S] TonyStark23:
I'm really looking forward to seeing the on-screen buttons added. Seems quite nice and stable so far which is awesome =D
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
Nope, just flash it
[HTC Incredible S] m4rk84:
I was always under the impression dalvik cache should always be wiped if flashing something. I have no technical reason for this, it's just what I was always told...any reasons why you should or shouldn't?
[HTC Incredible S] NicOsol:
Are anyone having freezes with 3rd party browsers? Running tiamet kernel.

AFAIK, dalvik cache should be wiped if what you flash involves APK update. Since kernel is on a much lower level so I believe dalvik cache need not be wiped.

@psyloid are you using playground now? If so what kernel and are you using the files from icecold 5.5?
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
nope, still on icecold, with old adreno egl (no crashes when running loads of

3d apps)

i'm willing to make a flashable build of it, but i want to include the new camera libs that allow camcorder to work, and for that i need twistedumbrella's help, but he hasn't been around lately ...
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
Well since it has finnish, I'm more than sure it will also have italian
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Ok that would be really cool if you could. I'm using the same as you but it would be nice to have working cam
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
I've been around, just fixing my own build before I spend my time fixing others. Right now the evo has official ics so i've been looking at that.

Far as here, the kernel that people were flashing over the build either changes when it's moved into the build directly, or something else is being done to break it.
[HTC Incredible S] Leesalman:
I am also running Kaijura's kernel instead of Tiamat, seems more stable.

So is the evo 3d leak gonna help us in anyway or not?
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Not why I'm looking at it.
[HTC Incredible S] Leesalman:
@Twistedumbrella now since your rom is almost perfect, I request you to also port over MIUI4 on your build. I am sure most people also want that as well it would be amazing :)
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
you cant request anyone to do anything . :/
[HTC Incredible S] Leesalman:
It was just a request besides i am more than happy with this rom just suggested.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
would it be possible to make a flashable zip without the cam working but with the good egl? :) icecold 6.2

Have you had any reboots or freezes using that combo?
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
I noticed that with Camera ICS+ from market you can record the video first time you open, after that it gives force close - it is still good when the stock camera is not doing anything when you press record :)

If that's the case and you did a clean install maybe that's where the issues that are mentioned are coming from, cause I just flashed over the old this time too.

@Twisted, you said you would warn us if a clean install was needed, is it for last update?

Just clearing data for music should fix that. The rest should take care of itself by clearing cache.

Well thank you very much twisted, i never ment to be disrespectfull, i tried porting the camera but i ended up with a green tinted image, that's why i kindly asked for a bit of assistance. Please dont feel so attacked, i know why you dont accept pm's and i know ppl hassle you all the time, but this proved to be very simple and i owe you some gratitude now and loads of icecold user's are going to thank you. I won't bother you anymore. You are very much appreciated by me and i think that all your work is brilliant !!!
