did the phone boot after you installed ics?

did you install ics from ruu or is it a custom rom?? if after installing from ruu reinstall cause i hade the same issue

try reinstalling the rom through ruu if on stock or through recovery if you have it .zip

dude he is on HBOOT 1.27 where revolutionary is not supported so the guide you've mentioned cant help him

based on your description you did a unlock bootloader through HTC dev...so you'll be struck with s-on for now but you can still install/flash a custom rom

which has a stock kernel option...like ARHD...if you have custom recovery then flash ARHD normally but select stock kernel while flashing otherwise you'll have bootloop again

EDIT: THIS thread might come in handy for installing custom rom on HTC dev unlocked bootloader

I've installed a rom that have preinstallad the black temed contact.apk and phone.apk. I want to raplace with the whites app but i didn't find the zip to flash.

white themed app

hi,

sometimes i do changes in the ROM itself by copying the apps that i like from a ROM to another ROM.

when u open the ROM by winRAR, open system/app, then drag and drop the good apps that u like. better that u make a copy for the ROM which u want to not loose the original one. i will upload u the Phone.apk and Contacts.apk from a ROM that its white themed. and then reflash the rom. i don't know if it will work or not but other applications worked with me. anyway make a backup to not loose anything and try it. plz tell me what will happen with u. i wish it can help u :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andre88lc:
Thanks!!! It's works!! I've changed phone.apk, contacts.apk and mms.apk and than i've flash via CMW and all works well!!!

Instructions: download the rom.zip on your pc. Open the rom with winrar(dont't unzip it) and copy the new file(phone.apk, contacts.apk and mms.apk) in the folder system/app and replace the existing app. Than move the new rom.zip on the sd of the phone and flash it!:)

I think that you have not quite understand.whichever rom you are going to flash has a specific base.for example zeus has 2.3.4 v20o as a base.when you flash it your phone will have 2.3.4 v20o as a base.what you had before is irrelevant.since you flash a different based rom your firmware will change.take a look at the noob how to that i posted above.it refers to kernels and bases.if you flash nova rom for example then you go back to 2.2.2 froyo.if you flash miui you have 2.3.7.it foesn't matterwhat you have now.try to find some things on your own because we went way off topic and the moderator will close the thread.search is your assistant.

[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
once youre rooted, it dosent matter what base youre using..... cos when you flash a rom you flash together with the base so it changes your whole phone software..... so its no problem switching between bases, you can even flash back froyo/ donut and go back to gb if you want.... but make sure you do your full wipes...

for roms,once rooted, only the type of device is specific.... type of base is not....(unless specified)

eg. you cannot flash an ics rom made for htc evo on your OB but what you can do is flash any kind of rom with any kind of base which was made specifically for OB

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I like Nova. I tried Apex when I first flashed Seraphim, but I found one quirk that pushed me back to Nova. I like to set up my one homescreen very minimally, then use a swipe up gesture to launch my app drawer. On Apex, it was really finnicky and would only work with a slow, deliberate, perfectly vertical swipe up, whereas Nova allows some slack and my swipe can be fast and slightly angled, making it super easy to launch the app drawer when I need it. I know I can set a dock icon to do the same swipe up, but I have grown accustomed to swiping anywhere on my screen.

If it weren't for that one issue, I would be all over Apex, as I feel it has a few more options that are nice, and seemed a tiny bit smoother. That one small issue is the only thing keeping me on Nova. Also that and I paid for Nova Prime, so I want to get some use out of it at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
I've tried everyone mentioned on this thread I can tell you from experience adw EX is my favorite....it has tons of options,from changing icons to scrolling docks,,and different docks,, icons w/no labels on icons,,grid sizelooks good at 6x6,,swipe gestures to hide status bar or do do what you like,,fast scroll or animated scrolling thru screens,,5 home screens,, ...just to name a couple.....If you haven't tried it,,at least try it once.....but remember the best version is the Ex one... wont hurt anything and you may love it,... :)

Apex until proven otherwise

As far as the ICS-like launchers are concerned (namely Apex, Nova, and Trebuchet), the only major area in which they differ is performance and on a very microscopic scale at that. I'm fairly new to Android (my current Galaxy Note is my first Android device) so I'm not aware of everything that is out there but the two launchers I've used under ICS since the leaks have been available to us i717 users are Apex and Nova. As far as transition and animation frame rate, stability (No "frozen" or stuck buttons, no glitchy widget re-sizing when switching to landscape, etc...) and overall speed are concerned, Apex feels much more solid. I have yet to use Trebuchet because I'm waiting on the link to the "NOTEworthy" ROM to be posted which uses Trebuchet as the default launcher. I'll report back in once I've experimented with it and share my experiences.

As far as the classic launchers that have been available for the majority of Android's existence go (GO Launcher, ADW EX, Pro Launcher), it's all a matter of opinion now that ICS is available to us. The primary issue with the classic launchers is when they're used under Gingerbread since there is no GPU rendering API built into the OS like there is in ICS. Essentially, if you aren't opening a full-screen 3D app that uses its own protocol for accessing the hardware for graphic acceleration, then you will have awful performance no matter how well the launcher is designed or written. Thankfully, this no longer has to be an issue since ICS is available to us and third-party code can finally use the kickass GPU in our phablets.

If you like the look of stock ICS better than the look of the traditional launchers, then I would go with Apex because it has the most functionality and performance overall compared to Nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EL MEXICAN:
is apex only for ics
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thair7391:
Yes

It works best with ICS, however it can run on older versions of Android. If you wanted to theme Gingerbread to look like ICS, using the Apex launcher would be a good start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Broken:
Wrong. Per Apex launchers web:

Q: My phone is running Android 2.x (Froyo/Gingerbread). Can I use Apex Launcher?

A: Sorry, but the answer is no. Apex Launcher is based on the stock Android 4.x (Ice Cream Sandwich) launcher, and it uses many new APIs that are not available in previous versions of the system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Another vote for Nova here. It's pretty similar to Trebuchet or Apex in look, but it has some additional features in the Prime version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nomoiphone:
On my Captivate I used Launcher Pro and thought it was the bomb...Then I meet Apex and It's awesome...Smooth & Silky.

Lot's of nice options and widgets i.e. gmail. I would like a calendar widget and the contact widget sample shows dialog but when put into use there's nothing there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jmacdonald19:
Apex Launcher here. Nova gave me problems and even had some lag. Used to use GO Launcher EX in the Gingerbread world but Apex is working good for me, especially at 240 dpi, going 6 x 6 on the home screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thair7391:
Well maybe there's something special about Samsung's version of Gingerbread for the Note because I certainly had no problem using it when I was still on Gingerbread. Even though Gingerbread is laggy and skippy overall because it lacks GPU rendering API's that Ice Cream Sandwich has, some elements of the Samsung stock applications (as well as elements of the TouchWiz launcher) remain as fluid as though they were running under ICS. Navigating pages in TouchWiz, the AppLauncher, and the stock Web Browser all performed beautifully while the rest of the OS performed miserably. Obviously Samsung modified a few of their own apps to operate independently from Android API's so maybe some of what they changed allows Apex to run under Gingerbread. I don't want to argue with you. I just know firsthand that I've used Apex under Gingerbread and it worked fine aside from painfully slow lag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Broken:
weird. I cant even download it from the appstore as it says device not compatible. You modify builprop or side load?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thair7391:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] abshire57:
Im still a sucker for zeam i love the minimalist look...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
ICS - Apex is the best.

GB - ADW ex is the best.

Just my two cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thair7391:
Apex and custom DPI

Another note to everyone concerning the discussed launchers and DPI modification:

If you're using the note at the stock 320, this doesn't really apply but if you're using a custom DPI at 280 or lower, then Apex has a plethora of options concerning the scaling, sizing, and spacing on the home screen that accommodates higher resolutions due to lower DPI very proficiently. You can make widgets fit and scale together seamlessly by adjusting the spacing or rows and columns of the home screen pages as a whole instead of just the individual widget.

I just thought I'd mention one of the few other things that differentiates Apex from similar launchers and why I prefer it. My opinion is by no means definitive though so if someone can show me something I don't know about Nova or Trebuchet that make them any better than Apex then I'd be happy to change what I use.

By the way, let me know if my post on Apex scaling options helped anyone on making their decision on what launcher they use via the thanks button or just another post. I get so much help from these forums so I want to know that I'm doing my part!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KodeRiter722:
Apex.

Smooth UI with a great set of options. You can't ask for much more. I tried Nova and Trebuchet, but I've found myself setting up Apex on all the phones Ive flashed recently. guess I've been subconsciously favoring it for some time now...
