I'm considering trying the new ICS, but I have 2 main questions:

1. How is app compatibility from GB to ICS? Are people running into many issues getting their apps to work?

2. I've done numerous Nandroid backups but never had to do a Nandroid restore. So if I decide that ICS isn't for me and I want to go back, is it as simple as just selecting a backup and telling it to restore and everything goes back to how it was, or is it more complicated than that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tpmullan:
All of my apps work on ics.

As for the backups, they should work but you may want to flash a GB radio again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
I may try this once the non-Odin/GB Flash update is finalized, unless you think it is at this point. The big complaint now seems to be the lag issue.

Not to get too off track, but what would you/other say are the main benefits of ICS over GB, other than being the latest and greatest?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tpmullan:
I fixed the lag issue... And the main advantage of ics is the multitasking in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tpmullan:

There's 15 toggles ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tpmullan:
No I have one that is mostly stock that i modified.

So there are. My bad lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cboss:
Uhh...ICS > GB by far. Lag? When flashed correctly there is no lag. Highly recommended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silence12782:
Would you consider ever adding the ASOP dialer contacts, wallpapers w/scrolling, and live wallpapers? Or at least making a possible alternate version with it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
Downloading now.. ugh the download speed is slow. I'm not blaming bandwidth constraints but more the crappy speeds at my job. Seriously, who the hell uses a 6 megabit DSL connection at a nationwide business?

Possible to get the 15 toggles as a separate flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] andTab:
2 quick questions before I flash:

1. Does this ROM have CIQ?

2. Does tethering work like in CM7?

Well the bandwidth may be strained, but even if it wasn't I'd still have issues with transfer speeds. Actually even if we DID have cable internet here I'd still be SOL because I'm connected to the network with an old school 10Megabit switch. So basically, the entire building does not want me to get this ROM in a timely fashion!

Very much appreciated!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
Although it's not explicitly stated in this thread (from what I can see) should I assume that installing the ROM is done like most of them are?

Backup APN settings

Boot into recovery

Nandroid Backup

Wipe everything

Install new Rom

Install new Radio (if necessary)

Enjoy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iceman4357:
Nandroid backup everything, then boot into CWM and flash the zip file. He wrote a script (Dark) that wipes everything for you already. Reboot, go back into CWM and then flash the radio/baseband.

Side note- Has anyone downloaded Rom Manager and tried to use it? It says I need to flash CWM recovery, and when I try it freezes and FC's.

is it possible to include the ICS keyboard mod mentioned in the bugs thread since system cannot be r/w?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
Got it installed and it's working well. One stupid question though.. how do I enable ICS to install 3rd party apps? I was going to do a batch restore but TB told me I couldn't because I needed to enable that and I can't find it in the settings..

Mine's not force closing or anything but doesn't get set when I try and set it.

Biggest issue with me on the Odin-leak was the lag/touchscreen responsiveness, and this ROM definitely fixed it (for anyone else still hesistant to try)! Thanks OP

[G2 and Desire Z General] Sidneyaks:
Well, unfortunately, my headphone jack has worn out. Even the slightest jiggle cuts out the left, right, or both channels. I popped off the rear cover of the phone, and the solder joints on the mainboard are intact, so I assume it's just that the contacts have worn down. They didn't seem to be very receptive to any bending further out. (On a side note, it was amazing how much dust and grime was in this supposedly sealed device, and I swear, my phone runs on an average 5° cooler)

Does anyone know a decent way to fix/replace this? I don't see a motherboard on ebay, and while I'm handy with a soldering iron, I have no idea of where to aqcuire a replacement jack. Bluetooth headphones are an option I understand, but that is less than ideal considering my Schfancy noise cancelling earbuds.

Any help, or a nudge in the right direction would be great.

Thanks,

Sidney
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
same problem here. One year old phone, only 4 mounth of everyday headphones use and when I touch the 3.5mm jack, my left channel cuts.

I dont know how to fix this, but I can see some corrosion on connections. Its not shinny at all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Are.Two:
Ditto. My phone just started doing this a couple of days ago as well. I too have only had the phone a year and the left side started cutting out quite a bit. I'm glad to hear it's just the phone though. I thought my headphones were going bad and that was going to piss me off even more because I rock some pretty spendy cans.

Op, you have ideas why this phone can get really hot? Especially in Australia the weather can be quite unexpected at time and can get really hot. I just don't like how my pocket heats up due to my phone. I haven't even owned this for a year and it gets quite hot
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Got gps running while in your pocket? Gps has always heated the crap out of my phone. Also make sure if you are overclocked that you don't have it on something to high.

If you see corrosion in the jack try to clean and see if works(op) if not sounds like you are gonna need to switch to blutooth
[G2 and Desire Z General] N4n45h1:
If cleaning it out doesn't help, you could always crack it open and resolder the connector :P I've seen some of my engineering buddies successfully fixing their 3.5mm connectors on other devices.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
It was a complete P.I.T.A but I just finished building VLC. I had to upgrade my Linux distro, upgrade from Android SDK 15 to 17, install the NDK, install Eclipse from source (the version in the repos wasn't current enough), install the Android Developers Tools plugin for Eclipse, install about 30 different dependencies on Ubuntu, download over 1GB of Android SDK modules, and finally pull the Android VLC sources. Then I had to wait about 30 minutes while my ridiculously slow netbook compiled the source code, and THEN I had to compile the result of THAT in Eclipse.

The end result is an alpha build of VLC that runs on our phones (despite being built against the Gingerbread libs). It does in fact work, I just tested a couple video and audio files. I've tested the build with NEON enabled (hardware accelerated decoding) which seems to be okay and is in fact enabled on our SK4G. That being said, tomorrow i'll probably hit it again and build without NEON and see if it's more stable.

ENJOY

Ill give it a try in the morning looks legit. Are subtitles working? Like with mkv?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
I haven't tested subtitles yet. I tried one .mkv which caused the app to hang, but it was an odd format that I actually ripped from youtube. (it was a .webm which is basically a renamed .mkv)

Oh, and in case you're wondering why it says "no media" when you start it, you have to go into preferences and select which directories it reads from. mine are set to /sdcard/Music and /sdcard/Videos.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
Unintentional kang

I didn't realize until I tried rebuilding VLC on my other computer today, but I uploaded someone else's VLC build (and a rather old one at that). I should really clean up my home directory because it's full of random APK files (both compiled and decompiled) and SDK components at the moment. I rebuilt about 4 times today, encountering all manner of errors along the way but after i finally got the issues all sorted out, the resulting build only runs on Gingerbread and ICS. This is because the Froyo code has been stripped from the the code base in the VLC git, so it's pretty much a no go on our phones until we get a Gingerbread ROM. On the upside, I just tested my VLC build on my old LG Optimus running CM7 and it works like a champ. I'll post the build I just made if anyone is interested, not that it does us any good on our SK4G
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TNetRider:
I'm definitely interested! Can you post your build. Does your build allow for entry of rtsp url to connect to a stream? Thanks a ton:)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
no, there is no support for streaming built into the VLC app and I don't think there will be. There was no mention of it in the code, so I think that the VLC app is simply intended to be for local files only and be able to handle video playback of most file types and codecs. So far, I haven't been too impressed with it. It was a lot of work to get it up and running only to find that it lags far behind competitors like Mobo player and Rock player. Then again, it's still an alpha software so I'm sure file support will come.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JiN1337:
I'm not sure why, but I wasn't able to locate a single media file using VLC. (And I have songs, and a few .mp4 on the SD Card.) Anyways, thanks for compiling this.
[LG Thrill 4G] Nitedriver:
Hi everyone,

I finally might have figured out how to fix the ghost call issues and the reorginizing internal process problem... it has been 10 days that I have had no ghost calls and no RIP.

After many hours arguing with LG (who after all 12 calls still said they never heard of this problem before). The only advice they could offer me was to send my phone to repairs.

I decided to do a final attempt and if it didn't work I would have sent my phone in 3 times to get a different phone and end this nightmare.

So I did a factory reset on my phone.

The problem was still there.

I heard about keeping the CPU above 600mhz all the time and while that temporarily worked it came back.

I loaded the recovery mode and factory reset from there and I also cleared the cache. that didn't work.

After more research I found that putting the phone in 2g will help. While this was true it was still happening but a lot less.

I decided to explore the world of Roms and that's where the fix came in.

My phone is rooted. Big thank you to Dan ￼

I am running V20c 2.3.5

I Formatted my internal SD and my external.

I installed clockwork mod and backed up my stock rom... I then booted into recovery mode and cleared every cache option (2 on first screen and dalvik in advanced. The only exception was battery stats with CWM.

After doing all that, I had to leave so I figured I would look for a new rom another time. That was 15 days ago. After a week I realized that I haven't been getting the RIP or the GC problem... seeing as how it was hard to check I forwarded all my calls from my home office line to my cell phone so that if the call was not answered it would go to my cell after the 2nd ring. To this day (10 days later)... every call on that phone has been registered on my cell... therefore I believe that CWM IS THE KEY TO OUR PROBLEMS

*JUST NOTE THAT I SAVED MY SD CARD TO MY PC SO I HAD A EXTRA BACKUP SHOULD NEED BE.*

**WHEN I DID IT, I FORMATTED WITH CWM**

so after all that here's the process...

*WORKS ON V20C 2.3.5 ROGERS*

1. ROOT

2. FORMAT EVERYTHING (SETTINGS/STORAGE...)

3. VERIFY THAT YOU STILL HAVE ROOT (YOU SHOULD)

4. INSTALL CWM

5. BACKUP YOUR DEFAULT ROM (NEVER KNOW)

6. ENTER CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

7. CLEAR ALL CACHE EXCEPT BATTERY STATS (I DID NOT TOUCH ANY PARTITIONS OPTIONS)

8. GO BACK IN YOUR PHONE

9. DO NOT PUT BACK YOUR BACKUP ROM

***Remember this is working for me on Rogers V20c 2.3.5***

I made a titanium backup of all my Apps but I am not restoring them I am redownloading from scratch. I do not know if it will cause issues with the GC/RIP issues.

Good luck to all of you and I hope that you finally get to enjoy our cursed phones. I had RIP messages easily every 2 hours and for 15 days I haven't seen a single one and all my calls are working.

Thank you to Dan for Root and the Creator of CWM for saving us.
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
CWM isn't the issue. It's the baseband.

CWM is on a different partition than the baseband and is not active until it is called. Ghost calls still exist because 2.3.5 in general has this issue. 2.3.6 fixed ghost calls.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ CM9
[LG Thrill 4G] Nitedriver:
Never said that CWM was a problem I said CWM helped fix this issue

I posted this to help others who were looking for a solution it is still working for me so I'm happy and I figured id share my findings in hopes of helping others who got nothing to lose and everything to gain with this phone.

Have a good one.

I believe that CWM FIXED my phone
