I can confirm that going to 1.1, you need to be at 1.0 first. Did a full superwipe and flashed 1.1 straight from a different rom and you end up with a permanent boot anim. Only way 1.1 works is if I flash 1.0, boot it up to homescreen, flash 1.1 over 1.0 then reboot. For me it works no other way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sgtkid12:
So v1.1 works, but you have to flash 1.0 then 1.1?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sgtkid12:
Does anyone know if the fast charge feature really works?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
I'm currently working a fresh new build guys! It should be more stable and the keyboard and random reboots should be fixed :)

But I'm quite new to building in Linux so give me some slack pls :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sgtkid12:
Awesome. Can't wait. Take all the time you need :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
i'm excited for the new version :D, i'm really looking forward to an ICS build that is fast and worthy of being a daily driver and from what people have said, it sounds like this ROM has the required potential to be just that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ArmedandDangerous:
For me it works this way. But you gotta boot into 1.0 first. Installing 1.1 over 1.0 without first booting into 1.0 results in endless boot anim too (for me).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sgtkid12:
Alright. Well I'm currently on 1.0 so I'll be updating to 1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SpicyCurry:
Take your time. I'm really enjoying this ROM so far, and it has lots of potential. I'm sure once trackpad wake, keyboard lights, and keyboard rotation issues have been addressed, this will be one of the top ICS ROMs for G2/DZ. Keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
good news:

my first build booted! :cool:

bad news:

the build was missing some essential files, like stuff for the hw keyboard and onscreen keyboard :rolleyes: (and gapps...)

but I can tell you guys, that it runs so smooth my jaw dropped :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
What a tease! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
Good thing its smooth, because I noticed that 1.1 is not as smooth as 1. Im using 1 right mow.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Wait your first build of what ? :P first aosp build ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] danow11:
Right meow??????

Looking forward to next release!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
Naw... right now. (Sarcasm)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
He's compiling it for our device from scratch, not importing any precompiled files from any rom.

It is a LordClockans build with device specific files from andromadus repo. It'll be explained in details one the build is ready for release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
*Sarcatsm...

cats...

...

...

lol.

#foreveralone

Also, can't wait for the next release! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
I know what you mean nickeedoo

Anyway back on topic:

Yeah I compiled from LorD's Repo with the Andromadus's device props, problem is that not all device props are compatible with IceColdSandwich which is built for the DHD/Ace. I got it booting which is pretty good ;-) And I know what is going wrong, I just need more time to fix it and since my new job is pretty busy I have less time than usual :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
I made a static blue phase wallpaper based on the lwp from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428785

Which is based on a picture of a gnexus, with a blue phase beam wallpaper that doesn't actually exist ( I find that funny).

Its my first time making a wallpaper so isn't too great, but it does make your phone feel underwater or something. I like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Okay people! I got a new build... based on 6.2's source, hopefully I'm able to make it boot. If so then I will release it when I come back from work (aprox 11 hours from now).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I'll drink a Grolsch to you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
Do you think you can get rid of the mouse pointer in this rom? It's kinda useless. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Yes it's gone in the new build... everything works... except the keyboard/onscreen board :confused: :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
Golly that sure is queer. I'd love to pretest! :D If ya want, PM me!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Lol.. can't do much without a keyboard right? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Pardon me if I have not understood this right, but

1) Hardware keyboard works, but no backlight.

2) Soft keyboard does not work at all?

Are these the issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
no hw keyboard and no onscreen keyboard at all... touchscreen works though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
You may want to add this: http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11826

Should fix the keyboard state which allows proper functioning of the keyboard..Remember to add the Vision keyboard map patches as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Done that... still nothing :(

It seems to be a kernel issue :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Does it help/matter that 4.0.4 got pushed out today?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
No, it seems to contain updates for the Nexus S only :(

I'm looking with Flinny and LorD CloakaN at it, but haven't had time to look at the logcat yet.

If I get the keyboard working I will release it asap ^_^
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Barton82:
Are you sure? Why would they be releasing OTAs for Gnex and Xoom and speaking about the eight month cycle?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Barton82:
Yes, I've read that yesterday (not the billion comments though) and was referring to that too. They release it now for GSM Nexus S, GSM Galaxy Nexus and Wi-Fi Xoom, with more devices in the coming weeks. So why do you say that 4.0.4 seems to contain updates for the Nexus S only?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Because Android 4.0.4 won't contain updates for the Desire Z :rolleyes: Google released a new android version, HTC didn't....

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
So how does this work? I thought AOSP released a kernel and manufacturers tweaked it to get it to run on their own devices. No? Google releases device specific code?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
This has nothing to do with any specific device. If it did we wouldn't have anything ICS related on our phone I think.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
Google released improvements just for Android core system functions e.g. some system apps and UI etc.

Kernel and drivers are device specific. So AOSP kernel is only for devices supported from Google, like Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Moto XOOM. If any other device have similar hardware (SoC), AOSP kernel source can be used for it or can be helpfull in development for that device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
well Google added some patches for future wifi support and screen support for nexus S (I think..) HTC, samsung (etc) write the drivers for their devices.

Android releases an OS (like windows) and needs drivers from the manufactors (htc, samsung) to run. Android just tweaked their own OS and added some patches to support more resolutions, cpu specs and wifi perfomance, but htc and samsung are still responsible to make android actually run on their devices.

Without drivers it won't run ;-) HTC hasn't released working drivers for our msm7x30 devices (though they will in the future).

edit:

thanks Adamz!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
thought id try this rom out, so do i just flash the beta 1 first and then beta 1.1 over it? if so, im stuck on the boot animation for a couple of mins now
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
You need to flash beta 1, let it boot and then flash beta 1.1 over it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
thank you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Has anyone tried the Andromadus ROM and this and found any differences? I am curious to know that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
Hahahhaa. Trust me this from is 10 times better. Its waaaaaay smoother and has a lot more customization option.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Man! I am really itching to flash this baby, but how are you guys managing without a keyboard?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
there's a keyboard :rolleyes: just no backlight :p

I'm resycning the repos, hopefully I will be able to figure out the issues soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Sorry! I got confused there!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
sorry that's for version 1.2 (which I haven't released) :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lilzad:
can we ave an ETA as to when 1.2 is going to be released??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
I came from Andromadus and this is rom is sooooo much more smoother, a few problems here and there like panorama doesn't work and video recording you can't zoom in and no keyboard back light but I'd prefer this from over Andromadus at this moment. Also Temple Run works flawlessly on this rom and not andromadus.

One annoying thing I do get, time to time it says Google play has stopped working
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Go to apps -> google play -> clear data :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
Looking to try this ROM, but the DL links in the OP are not working for me..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
yeah I killed my server by accident :(

edit:

restarted it, working again :)

edit2:

no eta... but I finally synced the repos again and I got some time to work on it today :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I flashed this today and all i can say is WOW!!!! I just cannot believe how smooth it is, i cannot wait for the next update!!! :D This ROM has so many tweaks too (way more than the other ICS ROMs), i didn't realise lord clockan based his ROM off AOKP! This is just so great, i hope you keep up the work on this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Alright! I am officially in the camp of "I flashed this last night and I am blown"!!!

This seriously an exponential step up from 2.3.x and a slap on the face to all people whining about 4.x never percolating to non-Nexus phones. And a feather in the cap to Android in lieu of iOS!!

Having said that, I have observed (in my few hours of toying) a couple of issues.

1) In the Lockscreen config, when I set Custom App 1 to Phone, I did not see it. I saw it when I set it in Custom App 2.

2) My Nova and System Settings became wonky (Attached screenshot). It seems to have switched to landscape mode somehow. I don't know what caused it, but even restarting is not setting it normal. I don't know what to do.

3) I liked CM's status bar toggle to put the phone to sleep. I cannot find it here.

4) I used to find it annoying that each time an app got updated, teh system would slow down for a few seconds. I still am noticing that.

5) I don't know if all trackball related things are connected, but I cannot move the cursor using the trackball.

6) Should I enable hardware acceleration somewhere explicitly? I checked the force 2D acceleration in the developer section of settings.

Overall, I am really happy with thsi ROM and intend to use it as my daily driver. In light of its current state, adding backlight for the keyboard and trackball awake seems literally like the 0,001% left to do to polish the ROM! Thanks all.

EDIT: I fixed the "wonky" issue. I had enabled Enable Dual Pane View in Settings. I knew it was something trivial!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
yes the lockscreen doesn't work well :(, there are keyboard issues and the trackpad patch isn't build it that's why there's a cursor (it shouldn't be there).

no need for forced hw acceleration.

there's no sleep function in ICS... it auto sleeps and it forces the cpu at the lowest possible frequency (122mhz)

don't know about #2 thought :s

I'm working on getting 7.0 to work, but since it got the 4.0.4 framework nothing really works anymore (the dev tools).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Wonky text underneath icons

I think this is Nova Launcher related. but randomly, the text under the icons and everywhere is getting scrambled. Either restarting Nova or just looking at all 5 homescreens at once and then picking a screen fixes it. See attached screen grab.

I can live with it, but it would be nice to know if there is a fix or if I am the only one seeing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I'm loving this ROM and i want to use it as a daily driver but i have a relatively annoying issue with it. I like to keep my phone's CPU at (or close to) stock speeds and no matter what i do, i can't seem to get the CPU max clock speed to stay at 844mhz. I've tried using setcpu and i've tried using the in-built performance settings in the ROM control app but with both of those, the maximum clock speed just seems to end up at 1242mhz after a while. What can i do about this? Is this a known issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 313dash:
I'm having the same problem. I noticed it happens after playing games and using camera.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
The text issue will be solved in the next version... if I get the keyboard working :P it's due to the new qualcomm drivers.

The oc issue can be solved to use the internal daemon script which I included in 1.1, use virtuous OC daemon gui or oc/uv beater 1.7.

If it doesn't work I will post the link for a script patch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Very nice! This has got to be the best performing ICS ram for the g2 that I've tried.

BTW, I wasn't able to find the apk for the Virtuous OC daemon, is it supposed to be easily available?

Sent from my Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
No it's rare... but oc/uv beater should be easy to get, I will upload the patch and the apps when I get home!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebogmonster:
HW Keyboard backlight

Hi SnowOokami,

Just flashed this having spent a while with Andromadus - this is very smooth and responsive - nice customisations!

relating to the HW keyboard backlight, it looks as if it is actually switching on and something is switching it off just a fraction of a second after it comes on (watch the keyboard slide out in the dark you'll see what I mean)

Might be of some help in fixing it.

I apologise if someone's pointed this out before.

Keep up the great work!

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ganiman:
I loaded this ROM today and am very pleased with it. Only thing I notice not working (which is already stated in the OP) is no videa capture, but the camera itself is working so it is not a show stopper. Very smooth, thanks for the ROM. Looking forward to the next release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Hmm, it seems that this one does have trouble with music over bluetooth (running PowerAmp) similar to some other ROM's I've tried. There'll be occasional skips that I can't get rid of no matter what CPU settings or priority settings or buffer settings I've tried =(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] otariq:
Flashed it today and it seems good just letting it settle in. But am I missing something or is it missing trackpad wake? Seems a lot more advanced than andromadus but lacks this feature any chance it can be added it's a nice convenient feature. Thanks for the rom

What the heck, just noticed that the trackpad has a cursor lol kinda makes it useless :\
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
OP has all things that aren't working. Trackpad wake is one of them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
I merged the vision files with the 4.0.4 base last night! There are a few errors before I can complete the build, but I've finally gotten some progress :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
You are awesome! Keep up the fantastic work! This is the best ICS ROM for our devices right now!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebogmonster:
You must've put some serious work in there Snow - if you need any serious testing done before next beta release just PM me, i'll be more than happy to help - i have 2 DZ's so not worried about builds being broken. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I flashed 4.0.4 onto my gTablet last night and man was it faster! Can't wait for that to drop into ours.

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

I started using OC/UV Beater and realized why the phone was laggy after a few screen offs. I thought that the OC settings disappeared after a reboot, but they seem to be disappearing after a screen off!

But I am curious what OC settings work best. Right now I am using:

Wake governor: smartassV2; Min: 38400; Max: 1305600

Sleep governor: ondemand; Min: 122000; Max: 230400

I have not set profiles for when connected or low battery. And any tips on settings for UV?

Also, I downloaded the app when I was plugged in for charging and initially I set the profile to trigger only when disconnected. When I pulled out my charger, I saw the OC/UV indicator in the status bar. But later on when I tweaked it and saved it, I don't see it up there. Is it still running or what?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ganiman:
I don't think GMail is working properly. When I open an email with the GMail app, the body of the message is blank. The one-liner preview on the Inbox screen shows some text of the email, but when I click to open a message the body is blank. Is it just me?

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

A force quit and a clear cache on the gmail app fixed this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I had that problem too. It even manifested in my Yahoo mail app. For the Gmail, I deleted app data. And that fixed it. For yahoo, I had to uninstall and reinstall. Deleting app data didn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
If your using oc/UV beater don't use smart ass as your wake because smart ass has a built in sleep profile, then your setting your own sleep profile and it just won't run as well as if you set on demand for both.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Ok. got it. But I am confused if OC/UV is running at all or not. When I first launched the app, I was charging. I configured an OC profile and assigned it to "when disconnected". When I disconnected, I saw an icon popup on the notification bar. I launched it one more time and played with it and now I don't see it on top. Is it running or not? I assigned the profile to all 4 conditions (when battery low, etc..)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
you can turn the beater notifications off ;) maybe you did that?

Anyway just set profile 1 and then in OC settings > set everthing @ !Set (or smth)

I use 122mhz min and 1209mhz max wake / smartass v2

and 122mhz min and 768mhz max sleep / scary

works fine for me..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I unchecked all the disable options in UI settings. I still don't see it. I found it running in the cached background section of Running Apps in Settings. When I wake the device, it appears to come to full brightness in two steps, so I don't know if the settings are active or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
Snow, I somehow managed to break my lock screen Calender and possibly something else, the only thing that's under the clock is the date. If I remember right there was three things under the clock, the date, the Calender, and something else. I made sure the Calender was enabled in the rom control, and I have multiple events today and tommorow so it should show.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
@ashwinmudigonda

if text ain't red or you get a running error it should be running... I can't check from here :(

@Mylenthes

I had the same... somehow it just popped on again, maybe you could clear you cache and dalvik.

another update:

I'm slowly progressing on the new build.. I wish I had more time! Also there are some weird errors which take 1 or 2 days to fix (and new ones keep popping up :( )
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ganiman:
After 24 hours of using this ROM, I realize my battery life is half or worse of what it was before using this ROM. Anyone have any suggestions about that? Using Stock or CM7 I did not have this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Do you have any stats? I can't say anything without stats, battery life has been good for me...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 313dash:
Battery life for me has been pretty good I'm getting about 14hrs out of a full charge. The problem I'm having is getting MMS. I don't know if this issue has been posted.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ganiman:
What kind of stats do you want? I pulled my phone off the charger this morning before work and battery was in the red after lunch time. That is maybe 6 hours, and less than half of that would be actual usage. On stock I could go almost up to two days without a charge if I had very light usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I'm getting pretty good battery life here, no complaints. The only issue that i have is that there seems to be some kind of lag or stutter when the screen is switched on and off.

It's not very noticeable when you're just unlocking your phone regularly, but when i'm playing music, this lag causes the music to cut out for a split second when turning the screen on and the lockscreen will remain laggy for about a second until it just goes back to being nice and smooth?

This is very jarring while listening to music and it occurs with both music apps for me, can anyone else recreate this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Battery has been better than CM7.2 and probably on par with CM7.1 for me.

The screen lag is due to your governor settings not staying when you turn off the screen. You should run OC/UV Beater or some other app to force the settings during screen on/off/reboot.

However having said that, I find that there is a lag in using the Contacts app irrespective of the governor settings. Sometimes, after hanging up I see a black screen with a blue line for a few seconds before it is populated with the Contacts tab. Also, I use Handcent SMS and I have the bypass lockscreen option enabled and I have found that the screen will unlock and a few seconds later, the message shows up.

Small itches, but I can live with them!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Holy ****.. I finally solved the build issues (hopefully for sure now). It's building! going to bed now and hopefully we will have a new build :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
You are the man! May the Ice Cold Gods smile upon your dreams!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Send caller directly to voicemail not working

I have a contact called Spam where I store all spammers and it is set to go straight to voicemail. But the phone still rings each time one of the numbers on the spam list calls me. Is anyone else seeing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheDeadWalk:
I'm having an issue with my physical keyboard where pressing keys open up specific apps. I know it can be turned off since I've done so in CM rooms but can't seem to find the option to turn them off. Anyone think they can help?

Other than that, some rare random boots and the browser / Gmail sometimes showing blank pages this rom is killer. Can't wait for more updates!
