[HTC One X] Aidsy:
THANKS!!!

OMG thanks it worked, i dunno why the CWM didnt flash the boot.img as well, anyway it works now, thanks both of you for the help :)
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
CWM can't write to the boot partition without S-OFF, which is why you have to manually flash a boot.img through fastboot when you install a new ROM. But it also means you have to do the same thing when restoring a backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
On any of the ICS ROMs (leak-based or CM9), is it possible to repartition the internal memory so that it's like the Galaxy Nexus?

This way, all 16GB are available for whatever, and I never have to worry about seeing an out of app storage space message again.

I don't mind that file transfers will be over MTP, I do all of my file transfers with the SD card anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android_Monsters:
We won't need a repartition like that till we can't flash the latest Android os
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
Well, it's not that I am worried I won't have enough space to flash Android.

I just prefer to have 16GB of shared memory, all usable for anything, whether apps or media.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
So the Galaxy S III has all 16GB of internal storage in one partition, and you can put apps or music in the whole thing.

Now that we have ICS, anyway for us to re-partition to be able to have that same layout?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Seeing how we need fresh installs to get ICS builds to work half as well as they should..

No thanks.
[Member-Found Deals] chelseainspire:
So i was web surfing and i found an awesome deal. If you have an HTC Inspire, you can trade it into Target Mobile and get a $95 gift card. I used that giftcard towards the new HOX and since the price of the phone at Target is $179.99, i was able to walk out the door only paying $95 for a $200 phone! Just thought I'd tell you guys about the awesome deal!
[Member-Found Deals] sk337sk337:
Or you can upgrade through radio shack for 49.99
[Member-Found Deals] p00kienrayray:
I believe that offer was over the same day it started?

Op, you coulda sold your inspire to someone for more. Unless it was beat up.
[Member-Found Deals] Sam3gX:
Nope. Deal was over on 5/5... it was preorder only.

BTW, you could've sold your HTC Inspire for more than that. The cheapest I see it go for is $160.
[Member-Found Deals] p00kienrayray:
It was over before that I believe. I tried that deal on 5/4 on radioshack's site. Family primary line upgrade--no dice...gray or white.

Another member stated that they ended it the day it started. Possibly bc they were overwhelmed and didn't have much in stock?
[Member-Found Deals] Sam3gX:
Yeah radio shack is lame... I preordered on May 3rd and they still haven't shipped it out yet. Actually it isn't just me, everyone who preordered from them didn't receive them yet. :mad:
[Member-Found Deals] Goobacks:
My coworker pre ordered in the store and picked it up Sunday. I don't do pre orders online if I can avoid it
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsunePaws:
I'm having a rough time getting my CM9 Epic to connect to my home vpn. Using Windows 7 x64, I've verified that the inbound connection works with other users on other builds of android including a HP touchpad on CM9 so I don't think it's a CM9 issue. Has anybody been able to get this working? I would hate to leave ICS for one silly issue :p

Update: Seems to be a known issue

http://code.google.com/p/epiccm/issues/detail?id=269
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
Did you ever get this working? Does anyone have any input on this? I am also trying to set up VPN, and am running AOKP Milestone-6, and cannot get VPN to work. Unlike kitsunpaws though, I cannot get ANYthing to connect. could quite possibly be a bad setup on my router, but I want to find out if I have any chance of this working even if I do get the router correct.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinslwc:
Not PTPP but I use OpenVPN with CM9. It was supported out of the box, no additional kernel modules required. Just installed OpenVPN settings and loaded my configuration files. Works great with a dd-wrt router.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effsi:
I used openvpn and pptp in cm7/miui. also in the early cm10 builds, haven't checked recently. who's your vpn provider have you tried to contact them about the issue? I needed a set of special directions from mine before the pptp worked for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
What the title says.

From what I read, the leak isn't running quicker than meanrom. Personally I'm just going to wait for the official since I rely on roaming. What do you guys think about ICS so far?
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Its amazing man. I love it more than mean Rom which was ny favorite sense 3.0 rom. Battery life is amazing and I did update firmware and am having no problems at all. I love it hah
[HTC EVO 3D] jxr94:
I feel like ics is amazing and you're missing out on alot! Don't flash the firmware and you shouldn't have an issue with roaming, as far as I know. ICS has brought alot of nice improvements. I say flash it and just give it a try for yourself man.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I went from mean to clean and I love the Ics and sense 3.6 combination. Battery life is definitely better
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
Wow I didn't know it was that much of an improvement! I was on the mean thread the whole time and everyone there is pretty much loyal to Mike and aren't switching. He's a good dev and they won't switch till he releases one himself
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
Oh so the firmware is the culprit for the roaming issue
[HTC EVO 3D] Sturos:
Definitely an improvement, battery life seems to be better than almost any GB rom I had (aside from CM7 & og Anthrax RLS9). It's nice to have working ICS roms with WiMax though!
[HTC EVO 3D] piscesjoey:
All I'm gonna say is I can never go back to Gingerbread!
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMrMalro:
I have yet to mess around with the official ICS ROM due to my carrier not providing it yet. But from what I have seen it looks awesome and can't wait to test it out. I am currently playing with the ICS NonSense RC1 ROM by VladBelsky, I love the stock look and feel of ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] riceatusc:
like ics. dislike sense 3.6. wish we had 4.0
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I think people tend to exaggerate about how much better it is.

It's a definite improvement, but, if it had the same menus/look as GB.. You wouldn't really notice much difference. It's still worth using tho
[HTC EVO 3D] CiDhed:
It breathed new life into the Evo 3d. I still dislike sense but it will be enough to hold me over until the next Nexus.

Aside from my personal dislike of sense it does run great though. I wish they didn't ugly up the notification bar and change around the settings but for the most part sense doesn't detract from the ICS experience. Battery life is exceptional and it seems to perform better at stock clock speeds than any other rom I have used @ 1.7ghz.

I roamed a bit yesterday and don't seem to get data while I'm roaming but that could be an issue on my part or area.
[HTC EVO 3D] franky_402:
I don't know about you but I was using newts sense 4 amazing and almost fully working in beta state...flashed a 3.6 and while it seemed a little faster its horrible compared to 4.. then I flashed back to gb and I already hate it...doesn't seem as smooth and seems "clunky" IMO
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
It seems to be much smoother, especially the browser. No reason to not upgrade really, except for the fact that most Rome are missing some minor features.
[HTC EVO 3D] alexnaoumi:
my signal has been really ****ty compared to miui, sense 3.5, and sense 3.0 roms
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
If you've flashed the virgin mobile firmware, thats why.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
i haven't had much of an enjoyable experience so far, i don't really have signal issues unless you include occasional LoS but no notice in decrease of signal strength.

I'm mostly disappointed with the mobile network settings missing that would allow me to enable data roaming, i have flashed Chubbzlou's Booster but that begins to FC and have performance issues after a day or 2 with the annoyance of Bluetooth issues.

not to trash one ROM, they all so far have the same issues and i can't find one to make my daily.

i am looking forward to sense 3.6 as it looks really good and has some great features.

i will politely and contently await the sprint leak or the official release, hopefully the firmware release included with the sprint leak will fix my "virgin mobile" banner
[HTC EVO 3D] alexnaoumi:
I did not flash any firmware. I only flashed the ics ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] borito24:
So much smoother than Sense 3.0 & battery life is great.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
I just came back from ICS. It was kinda unstable for me and I did pull out the superwipe before flashing
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Running awesome for gsm.

Never looking back, only looking forward.

Google + pertinent info = Results!
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I've been running 4.0 since Newt released it a week or so ago. I'm hoping to never have to go back to gingerbread again. The way I look at it, ICS brings only improvements.
[HTC EVO 3D] dsotm82:
No data roaming kills it for me... Can't go without data all day at work so I'll probably have to go to GB until it's fixed
[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:
I have tried several of the ics roms and I honestly can't find the same level of performance I get with mean 4.3 on dodava. Battery life is sweet but I like a balance of both and I get that with gb....

I've run both cleanroms, zr3d, vipers, stock leak and a few others and it just feels sluggish and lacks refinement. I have no doubt that ics will get better but for now I'm happy on gb.
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
Same here. I love the improvements to the UI but there are too many stability issues at this point to keep it as a daily. One kept freezing and rebooting Sense, another would close the market everytime I tried to download something, one didn't even have root access, another would fail to run certain apps properly, etc... I'm done with ICS until the official release comes out.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I feel like I should've waited... My phone is stuck on that VM firmware. Everything's working great, but it's starting to get to me that this is something that's irreversible (for now).
[HTC EVO 3D] crpercodani:
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones as I've had no issues. no network related issues, however I didn't flash the VM firmware. Just loaded up joelz release and it's been smooth sailing since. Benchmarks are slower but one thing I've noticed is wayyyy more free ram, like 200+mb's. I wish we had 4.0 sense or heck just plain AOSP but there are still a ton of new improvements. I won't be going back to GB.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
That's how I feel. Meanrom is pretty beast and is better than all the ICS for now..

that's exactly what happened to me. I definitely felt like ICS was a bit hyped up

They should call it VM herpes..
[HTC EVO 3D] youdug:
Sprint = jonestown

They leaked the vm firmware knowing we would drink the koolaid.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcobra23:
I don't like that Google (Play) Music can be controlled from the lockscreen from AOSP ICS, but Sense 3.6 only allows the HTC music player to be controlled from the lockscreen. If you are going to have your own music app, integrate google music so I can control my cloud music playback from the lockscreen.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Also, has anybody got Wifi Tether to work in ICS 4, Sense 3.6?
[HTC EVO 3D] Punk9:
I <3 AOSP ICS :D

Minus the camera and battery life. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ljubisat100:
I cant belive how fast Face Unlock is!

Cant wait official ICS update.

[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
It certainly was not worth the VM firmware leak mishap.
[HTC EVO 3D] FennrarrXDA:
Works, but I'm going to wait for some polish.

Before I begin, I am not a developer and have little/no experience with any kind of coding and did very little in terms of attempting to fix these bugs.

I am a MeanROM vet, and was feeling experimental so i did a flash of the CleanROM ICS version from the VM leak, and let me tell you. I've played with ICS twice now, once with the Playground via twistedumbrella and now with CleanROM, and, overall, the experience is extraordinary. Pretty much everything works, and its reaally smooth, but you can tell it needs work. I'm hBoot 1.5 S-ON and flashed vie 4EXT smartflash, and without Chad Goodman's kernel I wouldn't have been able to boot. But after I got it booted it was without a doubt one of the best experiences I've had on my 3D. However I ran into a couple bugs. First, the new ICS multi-tasking feature would't work, popping up a "Unfortunately the system UI stopped working." and the Rosie would restart. I'm uncertain whether this is a CleanROM bug or a bug throughout the ROMs. Second, and I'm fairly certain this is just an ICS bug, but temple run wouldn't run. Every touch of the screen would result in a jump, no turning or sliding. And lastly, there were occasional hangups in the system. I would press home and I would experience a slight lag/hang up before it would reach the home screen and once it reached the homescreen it would take a few seconds to respond to my touch inputs. I only spent an hour or so running the ROM, but I experienced enough to say I was ahappier with MeanROM's consistent performance. So after writing this post I'm flashing back to GB and MeanROM with my good ol' Dodava Kernel. But if you're reading this thinking that any of the things I listed are but minor issues I would say go for it! ICS is an amazing improvement. I'm just waiting for these ROMS to move out of Beta.

P.S. I don't think this would affect performance or anything but I didn't flash the VM framework.
[HTC EVO 3D] cho26504:
Love it on sense 4.0 but a tease on 3.6
[HTC EVO 3D] Saviazi:
I really dig it. I replaced sense with Nova Launcher and it's pretty much everything I could want. Looks crisp, animations are smooth and it just feels like a much snappier phone.

Provided there's a way to revert the VM junk, I think my E3D will last me another year or two no problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] junkstar09:
Took me a few tries to find the perfect ROM...

I tried out a few of the early Roms to find that sweet spot I was looking for. Overall I love the ICS experience on all the ROMs I tried. I can’t wait till the official release and get to the point were everyone is putting out complete full featured ROMs. I have been running Booster Shot RC2 for a few days and I love it. Just a couple of bugs thus far; Instagram crashes my phone when trying to edit a picture and Chrome Bata has some rendering problems with onscreen keyboard and menu options.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scotty_Two:
Coming from CM7 to Sense for the first time since CM was "released" for the 3D just to give it a whirl. It's nice to have a fully functioning phone (cameras, 4G, etc), but Sense is still too over-the-edge flashy for me and I really do miss how much customization and tweaks that CM offers. I'll keep this at least through the weekend and maybe longer if I can find a theme that looks like AOSP ICS (can't stand the status bar and icons of Sense).
[HTC EVO 3D] pumamane:
Shooter Ice Rom

I've been running the Shooter Ice Rom with 4.0.3 running on Sense 4.0 and after running the 3 fixes for camera/call drop/usb mount it runs great...3D doesn't work but it is a great port so far. Battery life is above average from the roms I have tried to date.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
i will say this.... and it's just my two cents obviously:

I will never have another gingerbread ROM on this device. The difference between the two is night and day. COMPLETELY re-vamped, re-wired experience both physically and cosmetically. Unless I drop this device in the toilet, I will not be getting a new phone for a year probably. There will be updates, upgrades, dev work, the whole shabang for another year. At least.

Going through the file system for ICS, I can tell there are huge improvements in system efficiency just based on how it is mapped out and the simplified code work. Your battery life gains (somebody mentioned better battery life) are not in your head - I have noticed this as well. It has been marginal and is due to a more efficient system throughout. GPU handles all 2D rendering, for example, which means your main processors do less work, and since the GPU consumes MUCH LESS power, you save an incredible amount of energy while performing simple tasks throughout the system.

ummm... and anthrax kernels.... finally pull the trigger on one of goodman's latest and greatest, **** is just unreal. 95 frame per second while running benchmarks? wtf...

Absolutely 180* turn from gingerbread. I can handle not having 3D for a little while, **** is a gimmick anyways unless you have a stash of 3D movies laying around in mp4 format.

Not looking back.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
For me the reliability is a read dealbreaker. I've tried out ics twice now and i still can't seem to build a preference for it. Good thing the official is coming out in June
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
From what your guys have said in the previous posts. I think it is safe to say that the GSM version is a less problematic. For me everything works no problems at all :D
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
I'm with you on that... If I could get just one of the builds to be at least like 80% reliable, I would switch and stay on ICS until the official release. I can deal with small bugs but all the ROMs I've tried are just too damn unstable. Maybe the updates to them have helped, but I am hesitant to even try now. My favorite was Newts because it is Sense 4 but the damn battery wouldn't charge! That is a MAJOR deal. Granted that was RC1 and I've noticed he has updated a few times since so apparently there were a few things that had to be ironed out.

I really wish I could use and enjoy these ROMs because ICS is definitely a ton better. Even Sense 3.6 is a big improvement, in my opinion, and Sense 4 is just straight sexy. I may give the latest updates a go-around because I REALLY want to be on ICS. But I also REALLY want a functional phone, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Small annoyances here and there, the biggest one being the lack of Static IP on wireless networks support. Hopefully for virgin mobile users, this is beta software. And hopefully for us Sprint users, once our ICS update finally arrives, this will be fixed. Because it is a major flaw in software design for them to not support Static IP addresses.

Everyone was so quick to jump on ICS and release ROMs that came from Joelz base without even trying to build their own from the RUU zip. The non-booting kernel only needed TWO things changed before it would boot, but I am willing to bet that every other ICS ROM available right now is using Joelz base AND kernel. All these ROMs, like all others, are pretty much identical, without even bothering to test the software out to see if any bugs could be fixed on their end. Not me. I will thoroughly test a new leaked software build before I go ahead and put a ROM out. With the exception of that leaked firmware of course...oops. :)

Absolutely NO data transmits when I connect to my static network, and the same setup on my TouchPad running CM9 alpha (ICS as well) works fine. So there is no reason the EVO 3D's ICS update shouldn't support it.

Back to Gingerbread without even thinking twice for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] jem06009:
currently loving it

just flashed the MeanRom ICS
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Hated Sense 3.6 but I'm digging Newts Sense 4.0. The battery drains quickfast but hopefully that's something I can fix
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
Haha I might give mean a shot but the previous ICS roms do make me a bit O.o
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
Haha there's a race to build roms when new shiet comes out so they don't want to lose their people. Just a side effect of leaks but is rather have them then not
[HTC EVO 3D] Kov3nant:
You guys that are reporting huge problems all have cdma? I'm running KingCobra 3d ics for GSM and at first there was a font bug, but turge released an update immediately and now this is the most perfect Rom completely without bugs. Even the original GB release that was on the phone when I bought it had bugs. This is the first bug-free rom I have had since I bought this phone lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
The only thing I don't like is the rosie bar being gone. Now you have to have the phone icon on the screen, it's as if they are saying "No one uses this PHONE as a phone so let's remove the easy way to use it that way, no one uses it anyways."
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
Love it. So much.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
In all fairness, these are shifting away from phones to mini laptops.
[HTC EVO 3D] iraiderx:
It's simply amazing! Using the MeanRom ICS v0.7 is just great, mikey quickly updates the ROM as soon as a bug is found and as of now i haven't found any. The only thing i hated about ICS in this particular ROM was that there was no Wifi switch in quicksettings but in v0.7 it was added.
[HTC EVO 3D] thornd7:
I'm loving ICS thus far.

Downgrading hboot to 1.40 to get S-Off was a PITA. Got an "error 16" due to revolutionary, but got it fixed and it has been smooth sailing since.

I'm running MeanROM .7 on Sprint Evo 3D.

I love ICS. I like the data usage controls since I can now see what apps are generating what amount of traffic. I like the multitasking controls (specifically the swipe to close app). ICS runs/feels faster but I haven't had it on my phone long enough to judge battery life. But with this.., I finally have all my android devices on ICS (Others are Kindle Fire on CM9 and Asus T-Prime).

I'm also pleased with Sense 3.6. It is much better than Sense 3.0. Having messaging icons on the bottom bar freed up more room on the home screen. Also love the folders. I used to have icons for flashlight, calculator, notepad, and music on an 2nd screen. But now, they're all in a "Quick" folder on my home screen. I can get to them faster and freed up even more space. i actually have three panels completely empty although i will figure out something to do with them. Contacts seem more coherent and better integrated, now. And i don't know if it is specific to MeanROM or all the ICS Sense roms, but that $%$#@ carousel spin out of control bling is GONE!! One swipe moves one panel. Long overdue.

My only gripes with ICS pertains to Sprint sitting on it. Google released ICS back in, what, Nov or Dec? Figure a month or two for HTC to build new kernels and recompile apps and turn it over to the carriers. But then what??? Does it really take half a year to **** up a perfectly good OS up with bloatware and spyware? Or are they just sitting on it to help sell new handsets? I don't know but I'm pretty annoyed with cell carriers over crap like this. They're going to release ICS and jellybean will be out a month later.. absolutely pathetic.

I'm still happy with Sprint, overall, but they need to build a wall to keep the marketing pukes and executives out of the engineering dept. If they skip the bloatware and focus on testing and releasing updates as fast as possible, that in itself, will be a much stronger selling point than any stupid NASCAR or Sprint TV bloatware could ever be. If we want those apps.. we'll download them. Keep the phone clean and be the cool carrier that is, consistently, first with the latest Android updates. That is how you attract subscribers and grow revenue.

Kudos to XDA devs.. you fix what carriers break.
[HTC EVO 3D] linty:
I didn't flash the firmware yet, just viperROM. I recently downgraded to HBOOT 1.4 so I still had all the radios and firmware from 1.13. My battery life was not so good. I may flash the firmware.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
The one and only thing that I "HATE" and I mean HATE with a passion, is the inability to change notification and ringtone volume separately. Why in the hell would they take that functionality away? Every other aspect, however, is awesome!
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
I've been in ICS on and off for awhile now and now mean .7 for about two days now and it doesn't really seem that big of a change. Just some transitions and a few different menus. One more day and I might follow freeza and jump back on gb
