Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.

Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.

I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

Hey Atif,

really not sure which modem to flash, do we have info on that.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
For a start, if you remember your last ROM that doesn't had heat issues, flash that modem. Doesn't matter if you use GB modem on ics.

I flashed the modem of my region xxki4 which is 2.3.5 jpkj2 and had no issues of heat in ics.

hello does front camera work on MIUI.us 4.0.4-2.5.4 Ice Cream Sandwiched ROM for Evo 4g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
No it does not work. Front camera does not work on any ics roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
When I717UCLC5 ICS leak first became available, a few hours later several ROMs were developed based on that.

And I recall that initially the ROM included GB Kernel for a very specific reason - to enable easy reflashing of GB ROM if desired.

So I have two questions -

1. Why would the new kernel make it difficult to go back to GB ROM? I though ROMs generally come with a kernel, so in the event of reflash it would be replaced?

2. Now that we have UCLD3 leak I can see new ROMs coming up that include the new kernel without any sighted concern for backward compatibility. So is there any concern over flashing the new kernel (besides the reports of hard bricks that affected other leaked roms but don't appear to apply to our processor)?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slooky:
I'm curious...what is everyone's ICS distro of choice for the Nexus One?

i.e. BCM / TexasIce / MIUI

No bashing allowed...only critical conversation please!

I'm using BCM as I like to have the Cyanogenmod features.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
+1 for BCM9
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mir0lima:
BCM is running pretty smooth and with good features.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuMb.cfg:
BCM
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekingofangeles:
Bravo CM9
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Damn.

That's a lot for BCM.

I'm currently running TexasIce. No problems. Smooth as silk.

What does BCM have over TexasIce? Have they fixed the video camera FC?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
CyanogenMod 9 :p I don't care about the video camera, rarely use(d) it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Gotcha.

So what does BCM have over TexasIce? I'm in no way trying to poke holes in anybody's preferrence. If anything, I'm looking for a reason to flash BCM here. Is BCM basically just TexasIce with the CM9 toolbox? Is one any more "AOSP"-ish than the other?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
As I said, BCM has CyanogenMod 9 over TexasICS. I got really used to CM7, and CM9 is no different (some functionality is still missing though). I tried TexasICS a few times, but I feel like BCM fits my needs more than TexasICS. I don't have anything against TexasICS, and I don't think people should see these 2 ROMs as opponents.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
I got you bro, but my question is still pretty unanswered.

To begin with, I'll say that I LOVE the CM team and all their work. The CM ROMs are minimalist, yet customizable, ultimately providing an android experience that's unadulterated by even the slightest carrier modifications. Plus it's tailored for the power user.

I know this, but that's not quite what I'm looking for in the answer.

I'm simply wondering, besides being associated with the cyanogenmod team, is BCM more stable/closer to being a complete, bugless AOSP distribution of ICS than TexasIce?

I gather that they have not fixed the video camera FC- something that's not a big deal to me.

For example, this is the list taken directly from the TexasIce thread of things that are NOT working:

*Anything in blue doesn't really bother me...and the gapps issue is an old wive's tale

I'm curious about whether the stock alarm clock app is buggy in BCM as well, though.

While it's not on the list, an FC when hitting 'record' in the stock video camera app is the only other major issue. Apparently this is due to having to fix something with the stagefright video encoder

What I'm wondering is- Has BCM fixed ANY of these things as of right now? Or are both ROMs on the 'same page'?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
The Gapps that I installed with BCM are all working 100%. Never had any FC or freeze. The USB issues I wouldn't know because I never use it for anything other than ADB/Fastboot. Wifi idem dito. Alarm clock is working 100% for me, never missed any early class. I don't believe I've read anything about the alarm clock not working in the BCM thread :)

Also, I believe BCM doesn't have the Screen of Death which some TexasICS users are experiencing. But it's the same with every ROM: it can work perfectly on one Nexus One, while it sucks on the other.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Awesome bro that's what I'm looking for.

Ultimately, I've got no real allegiance to one brand or the other. As I said, I love the CM team and what they do. I'm all about results though, and if they're a bit behind TexasIce than I'm not interested.

By the sound of it, though, this isn't the case. I appreciate your input man.

Just flashed TexasIce ICS yesterday, but it looks like I might be flashing BCM today.

Thanks again for the info bro.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
Just wait a few hours and somebody else would recommend TexasICS ;)

Please let us know what

you

think after you've installed BCM!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slooky:
Yeah, likewise, I haven't tried TexasIce, but the known problems listed as being present in TexasIce (aside from video recording), are non-issue in BCM.

One thing I did discover though - if you take TexasIce's latest Kernel (he posted it in a thread) and put that in BCM, BCM becomes just as fast (or faster) than Cyanogen Mod 7! No hindrance on battery life either. I was in shock - a full speed / slick / stable ICS on Nexus One...now if the video recording / camera scanning features were enabled, this would be 100% fully operational.

:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry_crash:
I have used both.

Both are equally good and stable but I was on Bcm at the end for a while before I switched to sensation xe.

I preferred bcm due to no SoD issues(drewis kernel solved it later on also) , ease of install and configuration also I was having 3-5 random restarts on tesaxice but seldomly had on bcm, once a week if any.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Really quickly, I know BCM is ported from the HTC Desire/Bravo CM9. Now, I know the Desire and the N1 are almost identical, the only differences being the N1's trackball and capacitive buttons (as far as I know).

So, question: Does the N1 port of the Desire's CM9 distribution have all the N1's hardware working correctly? Trackball wake and notifications? Any/everything else?

Ultimately, even though it's a port, is BCM being developed with the N1 in mind?

Thanks for the info fellas.

+1 BCM with Drew Kernel
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slooky:
Yeah it does. Plus if you want to customize anything, you can install Lightflow to do so.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Winters37:
tried them both, but always preferred bcm.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeloOw:
Nobody has tried. Icy 7. Look on drewgaren Web site
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctfrommn:
Drew's is also very nice, if not incomplete right now. It is very similar to Texasice's till he gets all the stuff working on it. I am currently using BCM, A2SDX, and drews latest kernel and I couldnt be happier. There is an update to BCM coming very soon, so you may want to hold out for that before installing. I will say that Texasice's is the most complete version though, all that is lacking is video recording and that seems nearly fixed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HairyMerkin:
The latest miui is great. I used to use texasice but I have switched

+1 for aokp:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt.gomez:
+1 for AOKP & BCM... :D

at this point AOKP has a bit more features compared to CM9... but once CM is out in all it's glory... it'll most likely edge out AOKP...

i love the TexasICE ROMs too but no much customisation there... so definitely BCM & AOKP would take preference...

[HTC EVO 3D] bricked_3d:
Hi all,

It seems that I have managed to brick my device. I am on 1.50 S-ON, and was trying to flash one of the ICS ROMs through the usual method (push the zip, reboot to bootloader, fastboot to the recovery.img) which I have used multiple times successfully in the past, but the phone ended up in a reboot loop. I did not apply any firmware changes (at least not voluntarily!), since the ROM (CleanROM was the first one I tried to flash) said that this was necessary. I tried flashing different ROMs (GB or ICS), and a Nandroid backup, but none seem to work. The only clue I have as to what is going on is that fastboot says that there is no image of PG86DIAG.[zip,nbh] and PG86IMG.[zip,nbh,tar,aes,enc]. This looks like a radio issue to me, but I don't want to do anything stupid (again!), so any input would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
[HTC EVO 3D] smokin1337:
I would recommend flashing this: http://dev-host.org/ru0ow8ps0i01/PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip

Its haus's 2.17 fw package and has everything in it. I flashed the new fw and a rom and had the same bootloop and nothing stopped it except returning to a stock system. After flashing this i flashed a new rom and everything worked as normal.

Rename the zip file PG86IMG.zip put on root of sdcard and reboot to bootloader. (Just in case anyone needs to know) This is a completely stock rom and fw so you will need to flash another rom with superuser in it for root apps.

Hope that helps...
[HTC EVO 3D] onefasttreopro:
If I'm reading it correctly you tried ics flash and it failed and now you wanna go back or flash to another working Rom right?....if so, unplug phone from comp, pull battery and reboot into bootloader (power +vol up), pick fastboot, connect to comp, use fastboot command to get into recovery and wipe and flash a working Rom....that's also assuming you already have a Rom on sdcard......if not then push a tom to card or in cwm you can mount USB storage and do drag and drop....I really hope that points you in right direction....let me know.

With hboot 1.5 s-on you have to do the fastboot command in order to get into recovery in order to do flashes...
[HTC EVO 3D] bricked_3d:
It booted!

Hey both,

I did somehow manage to flash a regular GB ROM. The weird thing is I was doing the exact same thing I was doing before (which is onefasttereopro's method), but for whatever reason it didn't work until now. The one thing that did in fact change is that I tried flashing Chad's kernel to see if any of the ICS ROMs would work, but I don't think that's it (it seems to have been overwritten, judging by /proc/version and the fact that USB works). Thank you very much both for your help, I am very glad that I have a working device again!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
i have tried to decompile systemui.apk using apk manager but i always get an error. i can decompile framework-res.apk but systemui alwasy gives me an error. so is there anyone that can decompile it for me and just send me the decompiled folder and then i can just edit it and recompile it my self? i am looking for the stock systemui.apk i think i have the odex one. thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
No-one has been able to do this yet. We have been trying for a long time. There is just something about the ASUS systemui that doesn't play nice.

You could try this thread that I read earlier, you may have some luck with it, I haven't tried:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
i use apk manager apk tools never works for me. it gives me an error when i type "apktool if framework-res"

how did some people change stuff for their roms if no one can decompile it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
The main themes are for non-asus ROMS, ie based on aosp. I believe reNeglect managed to figure something out with regards to ROMs based on asus firmware ie virtuous, but you would need to speak to him about that.

I don't know how forthcoming reNeglect will be, as people have not been giving him much love, and considering the amount of time and effort that he has spent working on his theme, I don't blame him for being pissed off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
no there was an edited systemui.apk for the stock rooted prime with locked bootloader. but the only thing changed was the settings menu and clock was change from blue to black. i dont have cwm.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupton2000:
UPDATE: Solution found

I was able to get the administrator of the "Good" application at my company to push out a policy for android users to force a longer password. This forced a new password when I opened the application and corrected the problem.

Maybe this will help someone in the future.

I installed an app (Good for Enterprise) to be able to access work email/etc. During setup it required me to set a device password. I set it, through the Good application, but only set it to a 2 character password. I have since uninstalled the application and now I can not change my password. When I attempt to change it I am alerted that password must be 4 characters. Thankfully the device still locks and unlocks with the 2 character password but I was hoping to change it.

Can I mod a file directly to change password or full in thinking it is not set?

Any help would be appreciated.

Contributions are appreciated and will be credited in the main post. In the interest of keeping this thread clean without a million different versions of the OP, please edit your post down to a basic "suggestions added" or something similar once I've noted your additions. That way things stay readable and don't confuse the readers. Ideally, a PM would be best, leaving the comments free for questions and the like.

its your thread,ill accept your request,but i personally would like to see everyones personal contributions and how you incorporate them.

readers should be smart enuff to seperate the first 3 information posts from the rest of the discussions. my 2 cents :)

[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
Nice post. Thanks!

I was waiting for the OTA to go official before even thinking about s-off but now you got me thinkin' about it.

If the OTA is good but I just want it de-oxed and de-bloated should I bother with S-Off?

My Dinc was so easy with UnRevoked, wish this one was as easy as that!
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
my personal feeling is that i like my phone to have s-off, so i can use the radio that works best for me and have full control of my phone. if i've already voided the warranty with htcdev, then why not? it's not a difficult process if you research and prepare everything ahead of time. know the steps, have your tools ready, and you'll be fine. took me one try on my phone.

it's really up to you, though. it's your phone. there is a risk of bricking that isn't there with htcdev. it's low unless you make poor decisions or skip steps, but it does exist - that's what s-off does. it opens the door for you to help or hurt yourself.

Installing RUU

I'm confused. I am S-ON (scared of brick), bootloader unlocked, and running CleanROM Pro 4.3. I want to update to the newest firmware and then the newest version of CleanROM. Do I have to re-lock my bootloader in order to install ICS firmware? I'm looking at the 3.14.605.5 Ice Cream Sandwich ZIP RUU (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365654). How do I go about installing that?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
yes, you need to lock it back up then apply the ruu.

or, take the path of awesome, and s-off that bad boy. what i'd actually do is install the latest leak RUU, s-off from that platform, then install amon-ra and whatever rom you want. that way your bootloader will already be upgraded, and your radio files. as new leaks come out you'll be able to apply radio files and kernels independently.
[HTC Rezound] pumpkinsoftruth:
Ok, so...

1. Re-lock Bootloader

2. Install latest RUU

3. Unlock Bootloader and Root

4. S-OFF

5. Install Amon-RA

6. Install ROM

Sounds simple enough. Thanks.

Thank you for this guide. I know that I've been reading about and throwing around terms like these since I got my Incredible, but it's good to have a better idea about what each of these things actually mean.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
They do have RUU's that can be flashed via hboot. Not all of them are .exe files.

Taken from your post -

RUUs

Strictly speaking, the things that we refer to as RUUs aren't. Everyone calls them that anyway, and I don't see it going away anytime soon. Technically, however, an RUU is HTC's Rom Updater Utility, and it's an executable that gets run on your PC, not something you load to SD card and flash in your bootloader. That said, RUU has come to mean factory signed software/firmware packages that are released by the manufacturer or leaked. They come in the form of a ph98img.zip file that can install pretty much anything - hboot, radio, kernel, rom, etc. What is installed varies from package to package.
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
Those aren't really RUUs. We call them that these days, but an RUU is technically the executable that you run on a PC.
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
So I've downloaded the latest ICS leak and renamed in PH98IMG.zip. I've tried placing the file on the root of my SD card, the root of the ext-sd card, and the root of SDcard2. So far, I can't get any of them to take the update. In which folder should PH98IMG.zips be placed?
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
the root of SDcard2. You need to be more specific about what you mean by "won't take the update." exactly what are you doing and what is happening?
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Did you rename it to PH98IMG.zip.zip? Meaning if in Windows you don't need to put the .zip in there. It already knows it is a zip and the extension is hidden. Just remove the .zip part.
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
I'm using a Mac, so I didn't have the issue with the .zip.zip name. I was able to install the update! :) It turns out that another site had posted stone bad directions, instructing users to put the PH98IMG.zip on the root of their xt-sd card slot.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Perhaps the options in the HBoot menu and recovery menus can be discussed/explained for some of the new folks. Just a suggestion.

For example...what is the difference between factory reset in recovery vs factory reset in hboot...

If it's beyond the scope of this post, then that's fine. I just thought it would be nice to have all this in one spot.
[HTC Rezound] ishmoo21:
Just checkin

I have a Fascinate rooted and its awesome but I want to upgrade to a LTE phone and I'm probably going to get the Rezound this week. Just to be sure, I should unlock it root and s-off it before the OTA ICS comes out?

Also what about CWM?
[HTC Rezound] Thermionics:
Thanks for putting all of this together in one place and taking the time to write it so clearly.

The Rezound is a bit complicated to mod compared to the (5) other Android phones I've had and this is a huge help.

Kudos
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
There are a couple quirks about CWM on the rezound, the least of which is charging the battery while the phone is completely off or the battery is drained. Use TWRP or Amon Ra. Both are excellent recoveries.
