[Q] CM7 Alpha 4 SD file transfer and Accelerometer

I have alpha 4 downloaded, but i cannot do any file transfers from my computer to my phone. I was wondering if this is a known issue or if there is a way to get it working.
Also, how do i fix the slow accelerometer? I did what was said in the first post of the CM7 thread, but it didnt work.
This post was edited twice with new questions.

I cant wait to get a stable gingerbread rom

Bump for new question up at OP.

Take the SD card out and use an adapter to transfer files directly from your computer, it will not read properly while in the phone.

New question again. See OP

Man u have to understand that alpha means its a test version not everything going to work all the bugs are getting worked on and they will realese when its ready. If its to much for u don't flash it and go with a diffrent rom that is more stable for u

Excuse me Mr. Douchebag, I do believe he was just asking if there was any fixes known, not *****ing or complaining about ROM. So remember what your mother told you when you were a kid, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

[NS4G-D720][ROM] Stock 4.0.4/IMM76D DEODEX (Error-Free Decompiling)

Contents:
Android 4.0.4/IMM76D deodexed ROM in flashable ZIP format. Will not produce errors when decompiling APK/JAR files.
Includes Superuser and boot.img root-level access. Does not include radio or recovery.
Changelog:
[R1/02APR2012]: ROM base changed from 4.0.4/IMM26 to 4.0.4/IMM76D. Files updated from stock IMM76D listed below.
Updated File List:
system/app/GoogleEarth.apk (v.6.2.1.6363 :: Earth)

system/app/Wallet.apk (v.1.1-R57v4 :: Wallet)

[R1] http://www.mediafire.com/file/48w84r8v3qbb8bw/NS4G-4.0.4-IMM76D-DEODEX-R1.zip

So does this mean the SystemUI in this version is able to decompile without errors? If so how exactly did you do this?
Thanks.

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.

So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.

SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.

mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.

I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

This update is from ChainsDD's site and has the latest Superuser app and binary. Should accomplish the same thing.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Did you ever get that step-by-step process for deodexing ICS from the OP? If so, can you send it to me?

I guess the Google Apps are included?

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.

Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.

Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

The stock Google apps are included. There are now two choices: One has the apps that were included in the IMM26 release (R3) and I have also included the latest app updates and related binary files as (R4).

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.

I'm getting a error for the media fire links. New link please?

Drop them in /system/app. In Root Explorer, make sure the OWNER is set to root for both dropdowns, and also change the permissions on them to the same as one of your APKs already in /system/app. I can't remember if you have to install them the normal way or not - I think a reboot is all you need.

That list needs to be updated for our S2. There are things like
DMSForwarding
DMSLawmo
GBA Service
Would love to know what those are for.

[Q] S Voice/Vlingo Uninstall and Install Modded Directions Please

I just rooted my phone for the first time and flashed the Frankenstein Ego ROM. I just want to say thank you for the amazing work by everyone here at XDA. You guys are the best!
S voice that comes with the ROM does not work and get a network error. I know that there is a modded version that should work (here if anyone is looking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662358)
I apologize for the noob question, but how do I uninstall the S voice that came with the ROM and Vlingo (I tried Titanium and finding it in the .zip file, but didn't want to play with the latter too much).
Again, thank you for the amazing work. BTW-this ROM is absolutely wonderful.
Please provide step by step directions, I am new to the whole scene.

titanium worked
Never mind. Used titanium to uninstall. The modded version works great!!

For anyone else interested use the S Voice patch v4 on this blog

It looks like there is a v3 is posted on that url.
I examined the script and it's not quite right copying over one of the files that the dev put into that flashable zip. Specifically, there is an etc/permissions folder that isn't being written back to the phone. If the app works, then maybe that file isn't necessary. But if it doesn't someone needs to tell the dev to correct the script and see if it that helps.

It may work the way it is. It wouldn't hurt anything to try it. That was just an observation on my part.
FYI for anyone downloading that flash, it will delete several default files on your phone, including voicetalk.apk and vlingo.apk. If you depend on these apps I thought you would like to know. Please backup your phone prior to flashing this file so you can easily restore everything the way it was.

Updated to v4, thanks man ^

No.
It's just quicker to have a script nuke them all, but, with TiBu, you could make a backup BEFORE nuking.
