[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
honestly, that sounds like a lot more fun :) :) what class are you preparing for?

And thanks for taking the project this far. should make for a nice stepping stone for someone else to pick up and take over.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
Thanks for the hard work. Samsung had alrready said no ics for us. But u have been a great help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombie138:
:( I'm super sad now. Wish I knew how to dev or else I would try to work on it. Thanks for putting hope that it could possibly be done.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Not sure about how to make a repo. I tried, but am a little too tired to figure it out...lol

So, I decided to make a read me and upload what I have to source forge... but upload keeps failing...

I guess I will take a shot at it later...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Github has a tutorial in their help sections on how to make a repo with your own files. It's a good read. I'd link you to it but I'm not on my computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I know, I was just being lazy...lol

I'll get it done soon... I'm enjoying my vacation right now...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Reviewers:
I can't wait to throw this on my galaxy
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
just an update, i scrapped what i had and started from scratch. It's booting and i have a few things working. Changing toan ics launcher made a world if difference. after i get the systemui.apk working right i will post some screen shots and an alpha build...

Ha ha! Thomas you are determined! I know the feeling of not being able to quit something until you figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JuLes' MostWanted:
and the feeling of success is indescribable ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Exactly guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vwgtiturbo1:
Thomas great work. Keep it up much appreciated!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] big gulps huh?:
Is it ok to say I love you? Haha, thanks a ton for coming back to it. Used ics on my old hd2 and loved it. Looking forward to whatever you can give us. I am more than willing to test and report bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I flashed the ics version I'm trying to port to my wifes cappy... All i can say is amazing! The hard part about putting it, is that it's a cm7 ROM...lol

None the less, when i get this thing working, it well be bad ass!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zachpozniak:
So how is this coming along so far? Just curious. I'm getting too anxious. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dynamicj:
If you want a booting rom that needs the camera, video fix, wifi and other various items reworked let me know I have had a booting ics for a while I just cant stand people on this forum anymore to care to finish it.

Exclude raver, white, and bh I love them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Mind if I PM u?

if you ain't first you're last :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Congrats to you! Did you build on one of our existing kernels?

Don't blame you for not wanting to deal with the people on here... but it is too bad for some of us. I'd love for the devs to just let a few of us deal with the pain in the ass members instead of wasting their time doing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
It would be great of you could work on it. I am trying, but I just can't get it to boot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I'm using a custom kernel from raver. I got it to boot but that's about it lol... I'll be working on it more when i get home. I'm on vacation right now... Just be patient guys... I'm really close!

Lol woohooo thomas.raines! :)

I got mine to boot but now getting fc left and right :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wcracker27:
just want to say thanks to all who are working on roms for our phones and to the pushy people out their just back off these guys not only dont have to do what they do but if a ROM is put out too soon it could be more harmful than helpful like the tortoise slow and steady wins the race
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] saketh91:
thomas i really appreciate what you are doing right now but my suggestion is why cant you try to port vibrant's ics rom which is already in the i9000 forums to this phone.I have seen this posted by krylon and drhonk.I tried this with no luck
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] swamp goblin:
I'll jump on this project..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I actually changed the ICS that I am porting to a vibrant one, but am having worse luck than the original ICS Mutt kang...lol... Just be patient guys... This is my first kang of a ROM and it is going to take me some time..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DnickDominic:
You should try CM9 since its open now and its ics..bryans working on CM7 so u guys can intergrate with stuff

No boot thomas?

if you ain't first you're last :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] astaccz:
Please do swamp. I am familiar with your work on my last phone. I'm ready to donate to devs that get this up and running. I need some ICS. xD Without y'all devs, this phone would be nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Add him to the list of people who promised to donate and link to his profile.

http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2747697
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] swamp goblin:
I dont want any donations or asking for stuff like that, I was just surprised and feel bad for you guys since theres is no ics for this galaxy s device.. every phone has it, even the oldest androids. I have an unbrickable device, so I'll try to get some builds going..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Joshhayes801:
This is awesome, I'm sooooo happy you guys are working on this and trying your hardest to get it running!

Swamp, I had no idea you partied with the SGS4G as well! Lol. I rooted my girls SGS4G the day she got, like a year ago and have been flashing, tweaking and modding ever since. Lol. Anyways sorry to be off topic. Btw I've got a mint SGS4G for sale! Again sorry for off topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
PM me price.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] saketh91:
I agree with you thomas I know how much pain you take in getting ics for us.I just gave a suggestion as i thought you would do porting better than me.anyways time is all yours keep the good work going
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] swamp goblin:
I get around ;) haha I dove in and performed the unbrickable mod, saving this sgs4g that I had from a relative that broke it.. so yes I can jump in on the sgs4g in some spare time, I have some down time switching from the nexus s to the galaxy s 2 so I need to keep myself busy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
No boot eric...lol

But the problems, we think, are mostly kernel related but that is getting hashed out as well... again, patience is a virtue...

For those of you that want to help, I am going to build a repo today so you can dive in as well...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
I love you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 3rdman:
I love you guys too! Seriously...thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You should look into:

https://github.com/bhundven/android_kernel_galaxys4gmtd

Bryan and Max have been working on a CM7/AOSP kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Aldreth:
I had previously commented in another tthread that Mr Raines just might well be the most underrated developer in our community, but I have reconsidered and I am now asserting fiercely, as opoosed to positing, that this is an absolute fact.

My deep thanks to what could not have been easy work, is uncharted water, and is very much desired by all here.

I also must point out how quickly our other prominent developers are to give credit, support, and collaborate with each other when contributions come forth.

I do not post prolifixally here, and even less so elsewhere, but I follow 4 devices very closely here and a handful of others in passing.

This level of cooperation and lack of flametroll drama is not common here or anywhere in forumland and should be recognized.

I feel like a cheerleader sometimes in that most of my comments stem from gratitude and lack a bit of substance, but IMO well-said thanks are in short supply here and in other forums on XDA, so until my wall-of-text posts become decried, expect more high fives.

Especially since there's so much to high-five these last 2-3 weeks. Our forum motto should be "When it Rains, it Pours".

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
The progress being made both on ICS &.CM7 is amazing. Even though I only understand about half of the deb conversation, I feel like I'm watching game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. You guys are doing great work!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
@ Aldreth

Well said and I agree!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I love it when all of the developers leave a phone, to leave a tinkerer standing in the middle of the crowd... to become a 'prominent' developer.

That's how I feel. So to call me a prominent developer makes me feel funny.

I think it's great that Thomas has gotten as far as he has by himself. I know that feeling. We have both dug the trove of google and spoke with other developers on IRC. Split hairs while reading logs and logcat output trying to correlate where in the code (if you have the source) a problem is happening so you can move on to the next problem.

I think there is a bigger picture here. RaverX3X is working on some open-source code to replace some of the proprietary binaries we use. Eventually, I will work those into the builds I make, as that code matures/stabilizes.

Everyone wants the latest and greatest OS, but the goal here is to just be able to build the OS from source. If we could do this on one version, it will help us to take the info we gained to port to newer versions.

If we work together to make CM7 work on our phone, it will make the attempt to go to AOSP/ICS easier (a lot easier then trying to go directly to AOSP/ICS... since our phone already runs GB).

If we get an Official ICS Kies OTA, Samsung has 60 (or was it 90) days to release the source. That would be great, but if we can focus on cm7... if we get that drop, it will make porting sooo much easier.

For everyone that produces deliverables (roms, mods, cwm hacks, themes, apps, etc...) for this phone, you rock!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
ill work on open source for cm7 also as the goal is to get away from samsung and put development back into the hands of developers.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Thanks for the props everybody, but I have some bad news. I have passed this project on as I have to send my phone in to good ol Sammy for a repair. After I screwed up my /efs partition, the speaker stopped working, again... Thankfully it still has a few days left on it's warranty. As soon as I get the phone back (7-10 business days they say...lol) I will continue to try to has this ROM out, with the help of a few others that have stepped up.

Thanks again everyone for your support... see you in a few days. I'm back on my cappy (my wife got a new phone), for now but am not plannign on deving for it as this is for a very short period of time...

To brian and raver. I agree, if we get cm7 running, I can deffinitely get this port running correctly. I have learned so muhc from you guys and appreciate the knowledge you and the the other peeps that have helped me come this far.

And I found out why my /efs partition went down the tubes. It has nothing to do with what I did or your instructions... but my stupid POS windows machine (which is getting replaced very shortly...just have to raise $890...lol) that is overly anti-linux...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
AH! I've had equipment failure too. How annoying!

Can't wait for you to get your replacement phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
i hope to hell u revered it to stock or bricked it before u sent it lol.. .:P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
very interesting point
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
When I was on the chat with the rep, I was told to do a factory reset... So I Odined an I897 ROM and said it did the factory reset, turned off and now it won't come back on...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
Well done, thomas!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
thats pro thats the way u cover your ass :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] swamp goblin:
Thats awesome haha.

I kinda got flashing frenzy on my unbrickable sgs4g, and in the process of playing with nexus bootloaders I completely lost my efs folder. Even with my backup, my imei is lost. Since I don't have a tmobile account, I cant use insurance or warranty, so I now have in my hands a useless, unbrickable brick of a phone, ready for anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
Almost exactly what I thought when I read that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimm3r:
Good luck in the ICS porting project. This thread convinced me to have a little patience and wait for your guys progress. I was determined in selling the 4g, but now i reconsidered. My gf has an i9000 galaxy s, running ics 4.0.3 and it works flawless and very fluent in the gallery app, wich i use allot. Anyway, when an alpha version will be out, i will be happy to test it. I don't have programming skills, but i can test and submitt feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
For everyone that has PMed me to offe to help, I promised I would have some updated links this weekend, but with my inernet messing up, I have not been very successful. They finally come out and replaced a bad line in the gorund. I will be uploading some testers for you guys to play with. NONE of them are stable and only 1 is somewhat bootable. I will include some instructions on what needs to be done just to get them to be somewhat useful.

On a side note to everyone else, since my phone is on it's way to Sammy, I have been using my wife's old cappy (she got an LG Nitro HD...sweet phone) with Slim ICS. All I can say is, SUPER FREAKING SWEET. I think we can get this ROM kanged over with the help of brains CM7 build.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
get on irc send me what u got see if i can help u with some stuff if u can flash it for me ;P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] M_T_M:

Ok...let do something here:

@trolls...stay away from here unless you want to stop trolling

@troll feeders....don't feed the trolls

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] logan123:
I got "ICS Mutt vTester" to work,

I installed gapps 4.0.3 after I installed it

but the phone seems empty and nothing works.

well when I say nothing I mean everything thats on it works but everything else including the setting menu well doesn't

a couple of things:

1) I always get an error when I try to install one of the ROMs a "can't find options.prop". thats in the installation menu.

2) its seems that both "ICS Mutt vTester" and ICS 2.1 after they boot and get to the "Setup wizard"(if you want to call it that) well aren't working

not the Push the android or change languages or Emergency Call

3)Slim mutt seems to give a permanent recovery window...

well thats all I hope we can find some kind of fix. I can't wait for ICS on SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
@logan123

Did you manually push gapps 4.0.3 or download from the market?

Please give me more detail about the options.prop error. Like, what do you mean by instalation menu? Are you getting that error in the aroma installer menu?

Are both, Mutt tester and 2.1 not doing naything once you get to the "setup wizard"?

What do you mean by permanant recovery menu with Slim?

Can you give me logcats?

Thanks for the info bud. Much appreciated for your input. Like I said in the OP, I just threw Slim together. Since my phone is with Sammy (they got it today so it should only be another 4-8 days...lol), I can't flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] logan123:
@thomas.raines

1) I mean gapps 4.0.3 from the Gummy post

2)The options.prop error is from the aroma installer menu it states

"script aborted: file_getprop: failed to stat "/tmp/aroma-data/options.prop": No such file or directory

file_getprop: failed to stat "/tmp/aroma-data/options.prop": No such file or directory"

3)When you boot the phone the first time, well if you don't install gapps a screen loads with two buttons and an Android picture. in the middle it state "Press the android to continue", well pressing the android does nothing I checked and it gives out an error "W/SetupWizard(): Ignoring touch event because phone interface was null" something like that.

The two buttons(Emergency Call and Change Language) aren't working either.

4)Well after you install slim, every time you boot if its a normal boot or you're trying to get to recovery, well you get to recovery.

its a blue(ish) kind of recovery and for some reason only after I used heimdall or Odin I got the device working again, re-installing a different kernel from CWM didn't work.

well here are some of the logs I kept.

ICS Mutt vTester Logcat

Aruma Installation log vTeset

Aruma Installation log v2.1

and some pics although there isn't really anything there...

hope this is what you needed!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The options.prop error may be from an older version of the Aroma Installer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] logan123:
what about this:

" about to run program [/sbin/mount] with 2 args

mount: mounting /dev/block/stl9 on /system failed: Invalid argument

run_program: child exited with status 255

about to run program [/sbin/mount] with 2 args

mounting errors in the v2.1 log
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
@logan123

That means the partition is already mounted... Nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
@logan123

Ignore the get.prop (options.prop) error for now. It is installing and that is what the focus is. I will talk to FB about it though. As lumin said, it is probably because I am using an older version for now. However, did you do a normal or custom install?

As for reverting back from Slim ICS (as stated in the OP), you should look at brian's CM7 in the dev section. He lays out the install instructions quite well, and how to revert back.

I am uploading an update for vTester. It should fix the setup wizard and a couple other things. However, source forge is extra slow tonight...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
ICS Mutt vTester 2

Updated Tester version to 2. Should fix a few issues.

so this is based on cyanogenmod? i am really fed up installing cyanogenmod please help me installing cyanogenmod as i am a noob please help i would really love having ics in my phone by the way keep up the good work thomas you are really dedicated

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

is this a rom which i should install in cwm it says installation aborted please help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
If you are a noob it is not ready for you yet. Be patient. Wait until you see it in the Dev section.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
If you are a noob, then don't flash any ICS Mutt as it is still in PRE-alpha phase. I have only released these to gain some assistance from others in porting ICS for our phone.

As for CM7, head over to brian's CM7 thread or ask your questions in the Q&A section. I would love to help you, but for now, CM7 and ICS is still not ready for anyone other than those who know what they are doing, ie testers and other Devs.

I understand your frustration and impatience, but you MUST be patient with us. We are doing the best we can to bring you the best ROMs possible. But you have to understand, we have our lives we have to live. I have a wife and 4 kids that demand a lot of my attention as well as a job, the Army, that requires a lot from me, and the other devs that are working on CM7 and ICS have their lives and families as well. I am not trying to flame you, but I want you to understand where we (the Devs Kangers and testers) are coming from. The best thing you can do for yourself and this community is research, read, research some more and read some more. Learn everything you can about building/porting ROMs, theming, scripting, etc and you too can lend a hand in all of the projects we have going on. Otherwise, if learning and Deving is not of your interest, still do what you can to help others with things like rooting, flashing, troubleshooting, etc.

Thank you and good day sir...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] saketh91:
thanks for taking concern on replying to my post i know how much pain you guys take in developing some wonderful roms for us and i will wait for it for sure i never blame devs i just want to know if it is based on cm because i followed every instruction which bhundven has given and ic ould not test cm thats why i am asking

and sorry for disturbing you by asking some noob questions thanks agan
