Anyone have luck with the replaced digitizer yet? I'm hoping to avoid ordering if that doesn't resolve the issue.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdfuego:
Ok, I broke down and bought the digitizer from ebay via the link that quinto0827 provided. I just installed it, and things are working great.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre4speed:
Off topic, where did you find cm7 rc2? All I'm finding is rc1 which is what I'm running.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloudus91:
I think the same thing.

I had the same problem with my Huawei Ideos U8150 after flashing Dronix 0.5 Rom.

In CWM I can see that the digitizer every 2 seconds it loose my fingers.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redgrass83:
same has happened to me on my atrix. one perfectly straight line down the screen which doesnt react to touch. This line is moveable within the aroma installer calibration tool, which btw is what created the problem for me in the first place, after i decided to try the alternate touch option.. So yup, i agree too. I KNOW it was aroma installer that messed my atrix up.. SIGH...And i had just gotten it running top notch too..grrr .. btw that new touch file manager installed through cwm will also move this ghost line around, which could perhaps help some users navigate a little better on their touchscreen.. This is another point that suggests its not a hardware issue. Only other, worse thing i can think of is that the aroma touch installer played with the voltages feeding the screen, and did maybe blow something physically.....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapidmancy:
Hey look at this... Just happened today and im so sad... Sometimes this solution in the link seems to work so it should be a hardware issue... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27595402&postcount=1

hey people,

I really hate ics rc4.2's music player app. Is there anyway in which i could install the stock music player from 2.3.5 or 2.3.6? Can i extract the app from the ROM files. I want the 5.1ch option badly cuz they sound awesome on my earbuds.

Thanks,

Changelog:

Alien ICS #8

Based on UCLE2.

CRT off works now (thanks Samsung).

Ready2Go moved to bloat - its broken this release anyway.

Probably other stuff I don't remember.

Alien ICS #7.4

Updated Google Maps (full release only).

Fixed home screen folder size when opened.

Fixed icon placement between home screens.

Alien ICS #7.3

Updated Google+ (full release only).

Removed AT&T Address Book Sync.

Removed broken Yellow Pages contact.

Alien ICS #7.2 re-release

AOSP lockscreen addon available.

Hide IME toggle in status bar.

build.prop tweaks.

Fix Media Hub.

Alien ICS #7.1

Adding scrolling wallpaper both to TW Launcher and third-party ones.

Fixed a small bug with enforcing copying libs (would only have affected AT&T's navigation).

Alien ICS #7

Initial Alien ICS release.

Known issues:

The home button has a slight delay. This is common in ICS (check SGS2 for example).

Turning off Wi-Fi tethering will cause the Settings app to be unresponsive for a minute or so. This appears to be an issue with the Tether provisioning and does not cause any actual problem. Seems fixed in UCLE2.

Changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy increases battery drain. This is common across many phones and ROMs.

The volume slider in Settings -> Sounds does not stick. Use the rocker instead. This is a ULCD2 issue. Seems fixed in UCLE2.

Data may be flaky for some. It works fine for me, but buyer beware. This appears to be a UCLD2 modem issue. Another modem may help. Use my modem and this won't be a problem.

Email syncing may be flaky. This is an Android 4.0.3 problem. Hopefully fixed since this is AOSP 4.0.4.

Anything else that has been common with ICS from Odin (I really haven't noticed hardly anything to be honest).

Some people have noticed weirdness when coming from GB related to the Home/Search keys. This appears to be related to updating from GB only (perhaps files on the SD card). Flashing the ROM a few times and booting into it between each flash seems to clear this up. Alternately, try backing up your internal SD card to your PC and then formatting it.

Miscellaneous:

If you want to enable "Preferred install location" in Settings -> Applications, run the following through an ADB shell and reboot:

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update system set value="1" where name="set_install_location";'

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
OK, I installed this last night and all seemed good, except an issue with the stock browser (Google Mobile?) not saving my preferences. However, I got up this morning and noticed the stock Email program (not Gmail) wasn't deleting my messages. It wouldn't delete through checking the box and selecting delete and it wouldn't delete via "longpress". It also froze the phone (requiring me to press the power key 10 seconds for a re-start) and restarted the phone once on its own. All of this is coming with the vibes so I'm thinking it is from fc's. Maybe I have a bad flash or maybe its something I installed. I haven't installed much yet and everything I have installed now worked fine with the first leak Alien stock release that I have been running before this? I let the phone sit for about 5 minutes after the last restart and it all seems to be working fine again? Email deleting is working and no fc's? I'll test it more to see if it continues to happen or if it was just a "one-time" strange thing. Is anyone else having these issues? If the problem persists and no one else is having it, I will reflash later to see if it was a flashing issue. TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Sounds weird to me, I haven't noticed any of that. Perhaps a bad flash. Its always a good idea to let the phone sit about 10 minutes after the first boot to let any processes settle out. Maybe this could be related. I'd also make sure you're running the UCLD2 modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] H3rk1m3r:
Just installed and EVERYTHING is running great so far. Restored apps with Tibu. Installed SuperSU then fixed permissions with ROM Manager.

This is the first time I've ran an ICS ROM without any problems.

Thanks Romracer...you do great work!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I reflashed, and so far, everything seems to be working OK. Email seems to work OK and the mobile browser is keeping the preferrences this time. So I guess it was a bad flash. It could have been one other thing. I installed the modded HULU+ app the first time around and it seemed to work fine. Does anyone know if the regular Hulu+ app (un-modded from the market) will work on this ROM or do I need to keep using the modded app? I don't think the modded app would derp anything but its the only thing I can think of (besides just a bad flash).

This is an amazing ROM (as usual).

**Edit**

Definately something going on with the Stock Email app on my end. It worked fine for a while and then started not deleting Email like it should then it gave error messaged when clicking on individual Emails such as "message too long" and "connection error" and then a momentary freeze. Everything is set up correct (settings and servers) and "GMAIL" app works fine for Email. Its strange because I went into the Apps settings and forced it closed and then I stopped the services associated with it. When I clicked on the Email button again, it all started working fine again. Come to think of it, "Media Hub" was associated with it as well. I wonder if Media hub is messing it up? I'm pretty sure it is not anything wrong in this Alien ROM (everything else is working great), if anything, it might be an isolated ICS bug that only occurs in certain conditions or conflicting apps (like the media hub might be). I'll keep looking into it, but its not a big deal because the GMAIL app works fine (and so does the "stock Email" most of the time).

**Edit 2**

I derped my own golden rule....read read read...

per the "ICS bugs" thread...

11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.

FIX (Thanks dixit):

This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.

https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534

If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.

Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51

http://files.devphone.org/404mail/

If it continues to be a problem I will try the "fix" and let everyone know if it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
I don't think it was listed in the features... But its already on my radar. Making gallery let you pick a bigger wallpaper is easy (1 line). Making twlauncher use it is what I'm on now. Nova works with my modified gallery though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
What does the caller ID issue mean? I know it affects Rogers users. I wouldn't mind adding the fix to the OP if you can tell me what you have to do.

Edit: actually maybe I misread that. But in any case, if you can let me know what you have to do as a Roger's user to get it working (APN, etc) I can add it to the OP regardless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Unfortunately, it appears the "always on" touchlight bug has returned with this release. Its a damn shame because everything else seems to work extremely well. :confused:

Its damned frustrating! I reflashed the UCLD2 ICS kernel into this UCLE2 ROM to see if it would get the "touchlights" to stay always on. That worked on the GB release of UCLA3, just reflash the previous kernel and all worked well with the new radio.

Everything seemed to work well except the radio (modem). I have seen a similar issue reported in other ROMS (SkyICS) and somehow it seemed to be fixed. Anyway, there wasn't any signal (except for WiFi...it worked well), but nothing signal related would work. The "About phone" showed "Unknown baseband" and it showed "no sim inserted" when I tried to checkout the network (APN) settings.

So I then reflashed the UCLD2 radio to see if the signal would return. It didn't work. I tried flashing the modem(s) first and then restoring nandroids but still nothing. The only combination that seems to work is using the UCLE2 ROM with the UCLE2 kernel and the UCLE2 modem. Which would be fine if the damn TOUCHLIGHTS would stay to always on when set that way!

Romracer, I have a request:

Can you pull the "Contacts" and "dialer" out of the UCLE2 ROM and make them work (hopefully CWM flashable) with the UCLD2 ROM? Hopefully Samsung will pull thier heads out of their butts and the next leak or the final official release will have everything working for everyone. Thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrpickem:
By far the stablest ICS rom yet and I've tried most. The CM, AOPK, Embryo, etc... are all fun, but they each have a set of issues holding them back.

THIS IS THE DAILY DRIVER!

Thank you sir.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
If you set your "touchlights" to "always on" in the display settings do they "ALWAYS" come on like they are supposed to? The problem shows itself if you put the phone to sleep (power button quick press) and then wake it back up the same way. Coming from powering on will do it sometimes as well. For me it might work like it is supposed to (lights come on) a time or two or three but then it goes right backto not working again. Could you check the ALways on Touchkey light setting for me (use it for a little while) to see if you have the issue as well? Thanks.>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
Ugh, Is there a fix for ths around?

Oh, that

is

a shame, if what you mean is the inability to leave the Capacitive Button lights "always on" present on a lot of ICS builds (was it from the first leak, but fixed on 2nd, or has the ROM builders been applying a fix?) but yes: 7.4 had no issue with it. I have been in Japan on business the last 2 weeks and really hoping for a new Alien ROM based on UCLE2 & 4.0.4. .Got back last night... My prayers have been answered!

Romracer: any plans to try and fix the "Touch Key Light Duration" bug?? By the way, if I am wrong and the bug is that they ARE always on, then for me that's not a bug, thats a feature! (seriously, it

is

!

As always: THANK YOU, romracer. It is never possible to please everyone, of course, but the choices you make when doing this are exactly what I would do 90% of the time and that is as good as it gets, short of learning to build Android based ROM's myself. Even then, who's to say i would be able to build something as awesome as this? It's like a Stock ROM, but better in pretty much every way that counts, and without having a ton of someone else's "style" all over it. Those kind of ROM's can be slick, but I always feel like I am driving someone else's custom car. You know, it's NICE... but it's not your own. Anyway, don't go changin!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrpickem:
Dunno, I prefer mine always off and that works perfectly. ;)

but...

I do love the dialer & gallery in the AOKP releases....hint hint. lol

Is there an addon that may bring that?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727R on Alien ICS #8
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
The "touchlight" issue I refer to has not been present in the first 2 ICS leaks. It started when Samsung released the UCLA3 kernel for Gingerbread. On Gingerbread, it could be resolved by reverting (reflashing) the earlir GB version of the kernel and it would work fine. It appears that this doesn't work with the ICS leaks. As mentioned, this issue was resolved with the first 2 ICS leaks and returned with UCLE2. It is a Kernel issue. I think it is related to the "lights" driver that they use.

To further clearify:

The issue happens when the "Touchlights" are set to stay "Always on". It doesn't effect any other setting (ie 6 second...never on...etc...) work just fine. It is just the "Always on" setting that has the issue. The problem occurs when (as mentioned before touchlights set to always on) and the phone is waken from sleep by quick pressing the power button. Sometimes the the touchkey light will come on and stay on like they are supposed to and other times (frequently) they won't come on at all. If they don't come on you either have to put the phone to sleep and rewake it up until they do (can take several attempts) or you have to go back into settings, change the duration to something else, and then rechange it back to always on (works until they fail to come on a fter the phone is waken up again). Its annoying as hell because they always seem to "not come on at all" when I need them the most. Some people might not have this issue (as it was on UCLA3) but others don't know they have it because they never use the "always on" touchlight setting and never notice.

If more people would (temporarily) switch to "always on" on the touchlight setting and keep it there for a while I think they will notice they are effected as well. It pisses me off when people say "I don't have a problem" when they havn't even tried what I am talking about. Anyway, its a small bug but annoying as hell! And once again, I hope Samsung will fix this crap or a workaround can be found.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Heh, silly Samsung. The 6 second setting has always been my preference, but I see the bug you are referring to. I'll see if I can look into it; I have a few hunches. Pulling the Contacts and Phone out of UCLD2 might be possible, but I'll need more time to look into that.

I don't know, my phone seems fine. I was actually thinking to myself when prepping Alien 8 that this leak seems to be the fastest one yet.

I'm glad you like it ;) I've never much minded Touchwiz. Its not nearly as overboard as something like Sense (IMHO). And I like ICS for the features (both visible and under the hood) rather than the blue colors everywhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Thank you sooooooooo much! I hope you can fix the touchlight thing. I've been doing a little more research and I read about someone that supposedly got in touch with someone at Samsung (this was for the UCLA3 release) and they said the Samsung employee confirmed it was a sofwtware glitch. The person that wrote that said they were able to bring thier phone into a "Center" (not sure what kind of center) and they had it fixed in 15 minutes. He said it worked until he did something and re-allowed an OTA update on his phone when the issue returned. Who knows if the person that wrote that was telling the truth or no but I've always had a feeling its an issue with the "lights driver". If I knew what I was doing I'd put the lights driver from the UCLD2 release into the UCLE2 kernel and see if it worked (if its even possible).

Anyway, again thank for your hard work..it helps out alot of people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rjohnstone:
Well I've given this ROM a good run through and beat it up pretty good and it keeps on smiling.

Battery life has been good and LTE speeds are excellent.

It has the back light issue mentioned earlier, but I use the 6 second rule, so not a problem for me.

I'm running the paid version of Apex launcher and it's playing very nice with UCLE2.

Nicely done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dxwilliams40:
Excellent job on this rom sir. Great battery life and stable without all the bells and whistles. With android you can change the stock look with other launchers. No offense to other roms because there are some green ones but This is the best of the best. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Changing out lights.msm8660.so is something I considered, but the file is identical between UCLD2 and UCLE2. I think I've figured it out though. The problem occurs when the light sensor detects a change in brightness before the screen has fully kicked on. Here's two logcats:

Lights come on:

D/PowerManagerService( 1245): sendNotificationLocked on=true
I/PowerManagerService( 1245): Ulight 0->4|0
D/PowerManagerService( 1245): setLightBrightness : mButtonLight : 40
D/KeyguardViewMediator( 1245): onScreenTurnedOn, seq = 32
D/KeyguardViewMediator( 1245): notifyScreenOnLocked

Lights don't come on:

D/PowerManagerService( 1245): sendNotificationLocked on=true
I/PowerManagerService( 1245): Ulight 0->4|0
D/PowerManagerService( 1245): setLightBrightness : mButtonLight : 40
D/PowerManagerService( 1245): lightSensorChangedLocked 10
D/PowerManagerService( 1245): lcdValue 40
D/PowerManagerService( 1245): buttonValue 255
D/PowerManagerService( 1245): keyboardValue 0
D/PowerManagerService( 1245): lightSensorChangedLocked : mKeyboardLight : 0
D/KeyguardViewMediator( 1245): onScreenTurnedOn, seq = 33
D/KeyguardViewMediator( 1245): notifyScreenOnLocked

Notice the line starting "lightSensorChangedLocked 10" in the broken example, followed by the next 4 or 5 lines. The "mKeyboardLight : 0" is setting the backlights off (in the Java its using the 0 value from "keyboardValue" just above it).

I'm looking into how to best fix it now. Sure I could hack that "0" to a "40", but is that the best way? :) Hopefully I'll have something tomorrow. In the meantime, you can try covering your light sensor when you turn the screen on to see if it helps. It shouldn't detect a change then I would think.
