"Standard cross-release upgrade procedure."

Back up everything with Titanium Backup or the like. Back up contacts to SD using Contacts app, as well as to Google, if you use their service. Back up your SMS/MMS (I use SMS Backup & Restore, though TiB may have since gotten their bugs out). Back up your call logs (I use Call Logs Backup & Restore, same comment on TiB). Do a full "nandroid" backup.

Wipe everything when you change releases (GB to ICS, or reverse).

Pull your SIM card before installing and don't put it back in until you are comfortable that you have all your data and all restored. I also turn off WiFi so that there is no data connection that might unexpectedly alter the state of my phone. This way, should you have problems, you can go back to the nandroid backup and know there haven't been any calls, messages, or whatever added or removed.

Let everything sit for ~5 minutes after you flash. (It takes a while to mount all the asec partitions from your SD card for the apps you have mounted there). You can tell when you are done when logcat quiets down.

Don't restore any "system" data that TiB has marked in red. Before you restore any data, start each of the apps that you are going to restore data for. Make sure you have the TiB option to "Migrate system data" set.

Hi! Ibe intalled the rom everything working great. except im having alittle problem with bluetooth scanning i flashed update #2 could that be a kernel pronlem? or is there a way to fix never mind its finding other devices. It might be my headset thats bad:):)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
2 things have to happen to pair your headset:

you have to put your headset into pairing mode, and

you have to click on "search for devices" in SLIM/Settings/BlueTooth (at bottom), when the device shows up, click on it and it will pair.

Hope that helps.

Stand-alone battery app stays running after charge and drains battery.

I don't believe this is specific to this ROM but specific to CM9.

Powered off my phone.

Plugged it in to charge it.

Checked charge a couple of times by clicking power button. (problem may lie here)

Unplugged phone.

This morning battery was 31%. and battery charge app was clearly still running.

i guess the only real solution to this occasional occurrence is to either pull the battery, or power on after unplugging phone and then power off normally.

I consider this a minor problem. For me, erikmm's SLIM is by far the best CM9 sort-of-derivitive ROM that I have tried - been on it for 3 weeks, so that in itself says tons!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Which app? Is this something that is shipped with the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
Jeff, it's the charge software that's built into probably the bootloaders, or something very low level. Power is off, plug it in. Phone becomes aware of charging process, but has not booted. You can boot phone by holding power button for a few seconds. i've noticed this on other CM9 builds. maybe part of 6.x.x.x recovery

Tethering problem?

I havent seen this as a known problem but everything seems to be working except USB tethering....wifi tethering works fine.

Anyone have usb tether working? The market actually wont even allow me to download auto usb tether premium that i purchased it gives me an error code....other market apps have installed fine.

Also was UMS fixed in build 2? Works fine for me.

Maybe its because i flashed over Valhalla black? Or didnt have the correct kernal before i flashed the rom?

Any help is appreciated.

SlimICS freeze question.

When I was on SlimICS I was unable to use "app quarantine" to freeze things - said something about it didn't like my root structure. I just figured it wasn't up to ICS.

I do not have the paid-for version of TiB, but wanted to verify that it would freeze things on SlimICS before I get it, so I can return to SlimICS, now that i've figured out my data usage problem.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
TB will freeze whatever you tell it to. Just be careful freezing system apps and you'll be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
Thanks! I've been off flashing SlimICS and making a few mistakes, but found that "system tuner" free freezes things nicely.

Ya to the caveat on freezing things!!! LOL

I synced my google contacts, backed them up to the SD card, and then froze everything google, and then imported my backed up contacts. everything seems to work after a reboot. And I'm back on SimICS!!!!! :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ArmyofTracy:
What did you flash it over? I tried aokp then the new cm9....seems to work better over cm9. I'm also using the jefe kod v b3 kernel. Everything works nicely. Great battery life too. 17 hours with Wi-Fi and playing Pandora for 4 hours.....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
Hi Tracy, i had been running erikmm's SlimICS for about a month - getting 3+days on the battery, when I switched to an ATT sim (airvoice) and noticed a marked increase in data use, less on CM7.2, so went back to a 2.3.6 and figured out a solution (freeze anything google)and then scrambled back to SlimICS. My first flash didn't work, so I went back to an eollie oneclick + root and then flashed SlimICS on top of that. Grabbed my google contacts and then froze everything google. Now life is good again!

I've seen a few things in here that lead me to believe that there is something different that I need to do to prepare the phone for an ICS ROM. Is this true?

Also, what kernel does this ROM include (if any) or will I need a certain kernel to work with ICS? I noticed that the Blastoff was recommended, is that still valid?

I am coming from an FB rom, and I'm not sure which CM I'm using, I think it's 7.

Go to the development forum and find the Cm9 unofficial forum. There it will tell you what to do. I was running the AntonX's kernel so I followed those instructions. It was really easy. Just check what you have and follow the instructions.

So I flash the CWM9 zip from that thread, and then flash the SlimICS? I'm on an AntonX kernel, but not basic with a twist, I have antsvx.v1.1.0. Do I still need to go to a different GB kernel and then commence CWM9?

Thanks for the quick responses.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
I can't remember which CWM version the 1.1.0 has. As per CM9 instructions you need CWM 5.0.2.x (x being 7 or 8).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Tunderpimp:
If you're worried you could change your kernel and make sure your cmw is the one in the post above. I soft bricked my phone with an incomplete zip, before installing Cm9. So I one clicked back to stock then worked my way to Cm9

Swype

First off, THANKS so much to those who ported this and thanks to all the instructions on this forum. I'm a tech savvy noob, and while it certainly takes a while and a lot of reading to become comfortable with what needs to be done, I was able to go from bone stock GB to Slim ICS without any issues.

Now to my question:

It seems there is no Swype keyboard with this ROM. Is there a way to get Swype back onto my phone? I could not find a Swype keyboard in the Android Market.

After a little more research, it seems that the possibilities are to get the Swype Beta directly from swype's website or it seems it might be possible to use the original APK from the stock GB ROM. Has anyone tried either of these? Which is more stable on this Slim ICS ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IAIRonI:

Slim ICS question

I was wondering if there is a work-around to the poor battery life with Slim ICS on a T959V? I've played around with it now 4 times (mainly because I had nothing better to do) and each time the battery life sucks. I've made sure there are no unnecessary apps running in the background, 4g is turned off, etc. but still no go. Any suggestions?

So if I'm currently on CWM5, I should factory reset then flash to CWM9? Or can I flash directly over from CWM5 >> Slim Common and the ROM build? Just want to make sure I understand this correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Sounds like you're confusing CWM and CM9. CM9 is ics. If on gb you need to have at least cwm 5.x to flash CM9. As per the OP for this ROM, you need to be on ics before flashing this. Hope that helps.

Sent from a hole in the time/space continuum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LiangChi:
Thank you for clearing that up for me. After I posted that I went back and re-read the OP and a few other posts and got a similar answer. So I must first be on ICS then upgrade to this version. Got it, thanks again!

....

edit: Went ahead and flashed it over. Works really good so far. I'm still getting used to it but so far everything works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
do u have working wifi on t959v with those ICS roms? if yes please tell me how u procceded

coz till now nobody helped really or in that case nobody got wifi just data?

i have CM9 and i flashed t959vuvkj6 padded modem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
AFAIK wifi works on everything. Not wifi calling. Signal strength is much weaker though than on GB. Try each padded modem and see which works best for you. The signal bars in the notification area are not always correct. There are apps that will give you a more accurate reading on signal strength.

Are there the multiple desktop/home screen options in this ICS/Lightning Launcher combo?

With the WIFI, it reads my network and tries to connect but then says there was an authentication problem...I'm certain the security key was entered correctly. So the WIFI is one thing that is still spotty with this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
You can use your favorite launcher. Your choice. Lightning has changed since this was released. You can check their Facebook page for more information. This ROM has the same wifi issues as the rest of the ROM'S for this phone. . I believe erikmm made some improvements on one of his ROM'S and Raverx3x has one for his. Not sure if Raver's have been implemented.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LiangChi:
Oh ok. I'll look around and see what other ICS launchers look like. I did notice that since the flash over, my video- playback has issues. It'll freeze frame and the screen will flicker constantly until the video clip is over. I hear sound just fine, and it will play the last 1 second of the vid...any ideas?

The WIFI did work when I went over to one of my clients' places to setup their home network. I was able to connect to their WIFI and browse just fine.

I did have another question, since I already installed Slim_Common, would it be a moot point to install the Gapps pack as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I would double check your wifi network's password. You said that wifi worked on another router so the phone isn't the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LiangChi:
Got it. I don't even know how I entered my own password wrong. /facepalm.

The other thing, I noticed this launcher doesn't have Gesture settings? Is there an update for that? I remember reading that this current version supplied with Slim_ICS had an out-dated version of Lightning Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
This is the Slim ICS Q&A. I suggest doing some research to get answers about launchers, apps, best way to replace a Ford Transmission, the meaning of life, etc. ;)

Sent from a hole in the time/space continuum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LiangChi:
Well I figured since this was directly related to Slim ICS (you know, since it did come with the ROM) that it was the appropriate place. Any how, what if I was to ask the issue with the Camera/Screen flicker during playback?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
All of our ICS ROM's are derivatives based on CM9. Look to the CM9 and CM9 Q&A threads. Every ROM has differences which can include launcher, apps and a myriad of other things. You have a rooted phone. You can add, remove, substitute a lot of the stuff. There are many launchers. Regardless of what comes with a ROM I usually replace it with apex. Lately I've been playing with the revamped ADWex. There is also a "stupid questions" thread. Not because the questions are stupid but because people think their questions are stupid. There's a plethora of resources on XDA. Please browse and check things out. Peace.

Sent from a hole in the time/space continuum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LiangChi:
Thank you for the clarification and heads up. I do really like ADW.Launcher, I was running that on my previous phone and on this one before the ICS flash over. Anyway, I'll be doing more research outside of this thread.

4G/USB

I am a bit new to this. Is the UMS the same as the USB? If so, my USB still doesn't work. Also is it a common flaw for SGS4G ROMs not to have working 4G? I get 3G just not 4... Will any of this be fixed or is what I have all I am going to get? :confused:

I just tested what you said and it seems to happen with mine as well. I think that the phone is making a tone to notify you that you have answered the call, but the tone is too long and the mic picks up part of it and the caller hears it right after you answer. Perhaps Erik will modify it so that we can get rid of the pick up tone? (hint hint hint)
