Hello everybody here,
so lots of us said that we should have a "Spamming" thread for CM9 and 4.0 Android development made by Maclaw's DevTeam-thanks for them, again . So here it is:
Please guys, if you have any bugs and problems which are already mentioned in GitHub, but you don't care to "ask-first-then-shoot", then post your problem here.
Please, write here, and really, don't annoy dev's on their DEV thread. That's for them to submit upgrades, news, and stuff.
Thanks anyway, and please, let the Dev's work in the calm way it should be.
Spam and post your heartbreaks here
Thnx for the thread. I feel like I can post my non-contructive post yet not clutter the dev thread
I following/trying CM9 closely. It looks very promising can't wait for the finished ROM
I should make some time to properly test/bugreport in git.
Should be in general, not there.

have u ever thought, that 'tards constantly flaming and making EXCEPTIONALLY unnecessary threads such as this one, are in fact much worse than noobs whining about their gallery not working?
Seriously though, I've been following Maclaw's thread for weeks, and the spam is no where near annoying as some "certain efforts" to end it.
Haters gonna hate, noobs gonna noob, deal with it.
p.s i consider myself a noob as far as android goes. But i don't whine about it, and don't shout at people on forums.
p.s2 somehow I doubt that this message will make the impact I intended it to make... sad.
Oh, and another thing - how do you define "spamming" and it's relation to the original post? I'm not much of a linguist myself, but something tells me you're not either, therefore both of us should keep our mouths shut...?
Oh 2.0: did i mention that this whole thread is a spam? ( and what is it we do with spam nowadays huh? )
You made good points. I don't spam myself as I see others do. At first I thought this was a good idea. So the course of action is to kill this thread or let it die.

how about fixing 3d graphics in future? Now, Asphalt 5 is laggy on my Gio.
same as inotia, cant play currently
but that will be fixed when the rom features work flawless

feiks- if you dont feel that this therad is necessary, then ignore it. there are some people who think this is a good one, although Maclaw is right, this should be in general.
And yes, spaming the DEV post is something like the whining of ~15 people that gallery is not working, camera is not working...if they'd read first, then they would know what they can get from this rom.
Though, ignore this post if it's unnecessary for you.
For the others, enjoy.
A quick point about creating new threads and where to place them.
Question.
Are you actively developing something?
Answer.
Yes.
Result.
Thread should go in the Development section
----OR----
Answer.
No.
Result.
Thread should go elsewhere.

Intentionally creating threads in the wrong place, just annoys other users and creates work for me. In future think about where to place your thread.
If after creating a thread you think, "I should of posted that in 'General'". PM me or report the post, I'll happily move it.
Thank you
It was my fault to place it to development.

Loving the ICS ROM by Maclaw and the gang - awesome work - it keeps getting better and better with each release.
Android is new to me so still learning - trying to get text to speech working, of course to try out a Siri like app.
I cannot seem to find where to turn on text to speech. I have tried a couple of apps and it appears that it is not on - and I cannot find where to turn it on.
Thanks in advance for any help

Finally I can say something about CM9 and ICS. I've been quietly reading the development thread from the beginning and thanking developers' posts for many months.
Anyway, I read that next release will be faster and with more working settings. I can't wait to try it out. I tried Beta 2, because it got generally good feedback before, and I thought that maybe it is good enough for daily usage. True, it is functional enough, but just a bit too laggy and glitchy for my liking. It was a good experience to test it, and all in all it didn't seem that much different from Gingerbread afterall. I miss the ability to put widgets on homescreen by simply longpressing, now you have to go to app drawer and search there - but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I like the new setup of settings menu though.
But my message to the development team and everybody else who helps them: Good luck and thank you! I will continue "thanking" your posts in the dev topic. We are lucky to have active CyanogenMod developers on our rather not-so-good and not-so-popular phone, and good developers too - Phiexz and Maclaw as the main men, but also others. Kudos.
Im dreaming about 3.0.8 kernel (or new) on ics 4.0.3 on Gio
If i get a new sms the phone wont viberate..
I have the silent profiel turned on but still normally i would hear the viberating sound getting a new message. This is a bit anoying cose often i have to react right away.
Any one know how to turn on the viberating?
Hi,
I installed beta3.
I can't download s2e from the market. Is any version that works with cm9?
Thanks
The betta 3 is a lot better alread. Things that dont work for me atm are: Camara (I did try other cammera apss to. No succes) The foto galary app will crash (I only have like 280 fotos. Kids there fun)
Playing movies (Xvid/divx) and mp3 does not really work well.
Thats it for no.. Got to work again.
Why Spam?
Just help Dev friends. Your support would encourge them to work hard on softwares. Sorry for bad bad english
There is a discussion in CM9 development topic about bootlogos. Am I the only one who doesn't care about it? I've disabled it anyway for faster booting. Why is bootlogo so important for some? For all I care it could be a steaming dog turd, it doesn't matter

This ROM is just aHero v0.9 by MaXo64 with ADW Launcher v0.7eclair_beta7_UNSTABLE as standard (for all the lazy people out there ). The ROM & Launcher are in no way my work i just packed them together so enjoy .
DOWNLOAD
http://www.multiupload.com/CCIMP0JRYN
P.S.
This ROM is 100% dead ahero v1.0 is out and comes with ADW.
A good example of how to post other people's work =P
EDIT: I actually mean that.
=(
Agreed, sorry to say it.
All I wanted to do was add ADW launcher so that people dont have to add it after I take no credit and if you dont like it then dont use it and stick with the standard aHero then. I'm just sorry for trying to make peoples lives a little easier.

This is a gigantic waste of a thread, and as xangma said a PERFECT example of taking someone else's work and just reposting it. The actual update.zip for ADW is friggin tiny and if you're too lazy to flash it yourself (and are willing to flash this - a full ROM with wipe and everything for non-aHero users) you really don't belong here. Dabbling in experimental ROMs from unofficial sources requires patience and effort.
IMO the other ADW Launcher thread is a waste as well. Hero users are going to report bugs in that thread, and it's likely that they're going to be missed by the dev since it's easier to just keep up with the main thread. Imagine trying to aggregate bug reports for your app from every single Android Development forum for every Android phone out there - ten seconds of search would find anyone ADW Launcher in its original thread, or even on its dedicated website.
tl;dr if you were too lazy to read then you don't need to know what I said.
If people dont like something then dont comment on it nobody likes to read hate posts if MaXo64 tells me he does not want me to do this I will respect him and stop. I only did this because I had never done any thing like this before and after I did it I was thinking maybe others would like this.

NICE!
But people can just flash a simple 500kb heavy zip to their phone without having to download the whole aHero rom. Do they even want aHero?
Oh whatever, do what you want. I'm not a mod
Come on guys, let him alone ;-)
Be happy that there may be another dev for you in the future, don't flame this guy

I actually think XANGMA was being sincere,....
I've read LOADS of comments from the veterans of this site having a go at people when they edit other peoples ROMs minimally and start new threads claiming to have a new ROM to offer the community. This is not what Arranmc182 has done.
Infact, only a few days ago I read a post saying if you want to tweak an existing ROM, make it as an update.zip, do not make claims it is a new ROM, and give credit where due,.... ARRANMC has done it by the book, so BRAVO.

I'll be a tester if you want.

I could be a tester. I have another account on the forum but I must get it back, LOL. So, reply to janne.paasimaa(at)gmail.com if you have something. I will follow that topic and I will tell ya my another account later.
@ OP
Hope this catches some devs eyes. I really hope some help out with a GSM port or possibly a CM8 based on ICS when its out
PS. Its better to put the date tag at begining of topic title in short format, ie [4.10.11]
You might want to have some pre-requisites for testers otherwise the vast majority of posts to this thread will be "Me too!!!11!" posts.
The primary difference between CDMA/GSM ports is at kernel level. The only real hardware difference is in the radio, touchscreen, processor, sound etc. are all the same.
I'ld like to help with it as much as I can, I do dev on my galaxy 3 now
If really the prime comes this month and we get ics sources we can forget honeycomb(although Google will need ta keep it sumwhere else, R.I.P. android.git.kernel.org)
I will defenitly be a tester, no matter what ...
I would gladly help if you show me where I could find tutorials for developing for android so I could help out. I must add I have some good experience with C/C++ and some with C#. If you would be so kind to send me a PM with some tutorials I would gladly help
i would love to be a beta tester but i cant make a nandroid backup on kratos.. any ideas?
can't wait. I am so anxious.
thanks DEV's for all the hard work in advance!!!
I very much doubt any real devs are going to bother with HC now. Spacemoose abandoned it without notice or explanation which is a real shame as he seemed really dedicated to the cuase, and oldmacnut looks like he has given up on challenge aswell.
IMO this is now just wishful thinking. Our best bet is to wait for ICS source to drop.
I have an early port of oldmancut's latest HC release I'm uploading right now,but this evening I can't test so I'm posting it here for the braves who can test
It's based upon old kernel sources and MAY wipe internal SD as old builds. ETA: 50 minutes!

spacemoose1 he doesn't need to explain why he abandoned the project
you must know , everyone here have another life outside the XDA forum
if he got the time , we should has it along time ago , but he doesn't have the time
cheer up ,
anyways , trust me , HC is not that good , GB is away better
HC is so damn bugy lagy crap , i use gtab10.1 and i can't tell you how many lags i get per second , so how about a ported hc ? how it will be you think ?
Lets stop banging our head on closed source HC . ICS is most probably coming on 11 october in samsung unpacked google episode.
ok i did flash it..
these errors come's up afhter boot.
Gmail (proces.com.google.android.gm) stopt
moon phase pro (proces.com.daylightmap.moon.pro.android)
gun bros (proces.com.glu.android.gunbros_free)
messages (proces.com.android.mms)
after close all errors it goes to the honescreen.
menu button not working.
home and back working.
auto turn screen not working.
keyboard don't show when trying to connect with wifi.
when i push the power button ones it reboots.(normali it put off the screen only.
btw boots in 35 sec..so pretty fast
all software still working.so it did not wip anything.
i will come back with more in a while..
hope it helps a bit so far.
regards stef
Downloading, will report asap...
Edit:
Booted in a minute or so, it gave me a Welcome screen with the list of languages and the Start button, I can choose language but nothing happens when I press the button so can't move further...
Wiped again and reflashed - same result. Stuck for now...=\
Btw, when the screen goes to sleep, it sends the device into reboot after a few seconds.
2sevensheaven, how did you pass through the Welcome screen?..
i just pushed the next button en cancel..
and like u say..when the screen goes out..it reboots.
i will now try a factory reset and see what happens.
Hi all,
I am going through all the threads that have ics based roms for our phone and thought it might be a good idea if we had a communal collation of all ics roms that are active in this forum with provided chainlogs and small reviews of said rom and what issues they have.
Reason for this is simple, to help other users that are not confident in flashing up to 4.0.3 unaware that they may run into something that they did not bargain for.. Hopefully this way we
A) Get a general run down each week as to what rom is working well which are not.
B) Issues/bugs.
C) Reviews of what works and not.
D) Temp fixable issues ie: auto rotation.
E) May help in less clutter in actual development thread.
I thought I would put this out see if anyone agrees here. I am more than welcome that if we use this thread as a starting point.
In no way shape or form that this thread will be used as a means of competitiveness between devs, to start flaming in any sort of fashion, this is purely a thread designed to help everyone with ics progression where its at, what dev's are up too and which would be safe to flash and what is not and is for experimental use.
Hopefully this could be a useful thread, with the dev's permission in doing this of course
Cheers.
I like the idea
+1 to this idea!!
There are already Q&A threads for each of the ROM's. Why make the board more cluttered than it already is by re-posting what is already in those threads?
People need to learn to use the search function and stop being lazy and actually take the time to read a thread every now and then. A thread like this will do nothing but enable the lazy to be even less productive and will not help. You will just see the same questions asked here over and over and over and over and over just like in all the other threads.
Also if people would read a damn OP like they are supposed to before flashing a ROM they would already know what does and doesn't work and if the ROM is a RC or experimental.

Valued response, and yes using the search tool does help, but. rather than searching for what is needed why don't we have one thread to sum up on all progression? This thread is not designed to have countless questions all this is to gather weekly updates on ics roms from there respected developer. If someone wanted to ask questions they should be directed to the respected Q&A thread as they have there own. If someone wishes to choose to read up on what is happening in the world of ics t989 development then they come here nothing more nothing less.
As this wouldn't be hard to do at every week commencing someone can be anyone can choose to post up any sort of update to any rom and that is valid for that week only... then make up another thread so for example this one wouldn't spiral out of control and inform a mod to delete or close thread... simple that way it would stay fresh relevant with what we want to know, and of course anyone can participate in this.
Again thanks for your input, I'm not saying this is what we should be doing but a suggestion to everyone and see if this would make life a little easier on some. Alternatively if you don't like it then don't post anything worth mentioning and leave for people who could benefit from it
Cheers.

To replace my battery and my camera since it force closes, I use QuickPic as my gallery and Camera zoom FX Pro as my camera. They work pretty well with some minor set backs.
Echo?
Are there any ICS ROMs that do not have an echo????
It seems to be an issue with the flashing process as far as echo goes...easy does it, my DD has no echo...actually while many people have reported that among other bugs the only one I have is the reboot hang...which really...tough **** I have to hold the power button down the few times I need to turn it off lol. Oddly though it does not hang if I reboot into recovery from rom manager.
Ics is really weird...everyone is getting different bugs following the same install process. I'm guessing some of our devices are more willing to adapt to the skyrocket kernel than others...

Guess you got the one with the magic bean.
Well before I went on vacation Tuesday I was playing around with a few of the different ics that are there for tmo gs2 and found that a lot of issues went away when I unmounted the SD card. The camera had no problem and I didn't notice any echoed sound. Kind of strange but one thing I noticed that a lot of native ics devices don't have external SD cards. Might be something for devs to look at.

First a quick shout out to Albinoman who made the JB rom in question here (I'll put a link to it at the bottom of this post). He did an amazing job and I am thoroughly enjoying jelly bean goodness on my very old and abused incredible.
I should mention (if it helps someone figure out what happened) that the device has been torn apart by myself multiple times to solve two issues: (and for fun)
The first being the display was shattered and had to be replaced,
And the second being that the device had been laid down in something wet for over a week while not in my possession, covering the internal parts with said wet..ness.. (no idea what it was). A few days disassembled in rice fixed the wetness issue and it worked perfectly!
Now I fixed some other software issues it was having (lost root after a failed rom flash) and loaded cm6.1 onto the device, and then cm7.2, and then this JB rom.. in one afternoon....... (gets addicting after only one flash!!). It was doing fine all day with only issues with the camera and Google chrome until I went to mess with the sound settings and went to: settings/ sound/ volumes. When I tapped volumes it said, "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." All sound no longer works.. A battery pull, multiple restarts with setting changes, and finally a factory reset later and nothing has changed. Thanks for reading this much too long post. any ideas what I should do next?
As promised, here is a link to Albinoman's rom which I highly recommend checking out.

I'm still kicking myself over this.. I put the speaker in backwards.. yep.. now would be a good time to learn how to delete a thread..
btw, many devs, Albinoman included, would appreciate it if you ask questions that are related to their roms, on the rom's original post. just a heads up man.

Actually q&a is for questions of anything related to the device and the rom threads as I understand is supposed to be only for posts contributing to development of that project but you're right most devs including me like when issues/questions are in the ROM thread.
Hey I got an idea. Remove the 10 post rule to post in dev but not allow creating topics in dev until 40 or 50 posts.

Dev Unless you are Making a ROM or a contribution which is related to firmware or anything like that. Please for the sake of our sanity stop posting it there.
General Anything other than that but no questions (device). Talk about crap or Kim's new BF. You are free here but don't post your questions.

Now Comes the award winning question, "Hi! I wanna root my device. Can you tell me how?"
Dude for the love of God take a look at Index. You can find many threads explaining in the simplest manner how to do the job.
Here's a quick answer for some random questions!
1. How to expand internal memory?
~ You can use link2sd or data2sd or int2ext+ or whatever you find and is compatible with your ROM. Refer to the ROM's thread on this.
2. Stuck at HTC logo.
- Wipe data, wipe davlik cache, wipe boot, wipe system, wipe battery stats. Try again. Allow it some minutes, Maybe it's just taking some time.
3. Which is the best ROM. (keeping aside the known bugs)
- Let me be brief and explain what's pro and cons of these specific roms.
--> Sense/GB ROM: Laggy, Awesome UI, Good camera and video playback, less battery life.
--> CM/GB ROM: fast, crap ui (unless you theme it pretty good), lot of customizations, good battery life.
--> CM/ICS ROM: fast, clean, fair customizations, Supports HQ playback now. can be used as daily ROM, looks good, great battery life, almost perfect except a aggy camera.
--> MIUI/ICS ROM: fast, pre installed apps, thousands of themes, same ics bugs, great customizations, great battery life.
--> CM/JB ROM: WIP means still not as stable and has many bugs. Can be fast, can be slow. Depends on builds, average battery life.
4. How can I customize my ROM?
- UOT kitchen, many random customizations on XDA.
5. Battery life is poor! What to do?
- Turn off autosync.
- Auto brightness.
- Disable animations, vibration feedback, wifi, mobile data when not in use.
- Check background apps which might keep cpu awake.
- use smartass v2 governer.
6. I found a bug. How to get into notice and solve it?
- Check if it's not already reported.
- Put it in the bugtracker of the dev.
- Submit a clean logcat to dev.
7. What is the correct way to install a ROM? In detail please.
- Backup stuff with Titanium backup or whatever you prefer.
- Take a nandroid just in case.
- Wipe data, 2 times just to be sure.
- Wipe davlik cache
- Wipe system
- Wipe boot
- Wipe battery stats
- Install File, select ROM
- Install Gapps. (If required, Sense and MIUI ROMS are bundled with Gapps by default so you need not flash it. Also ROBOTO Mod doesnt require Gapps.)
- Reboot
(For more specific procedure refer to the ROM you are installing)
8. What is nandroid?
- Nandroid is a special backup which is prepared by your phone's custom recovery. It just backs up all your system data, including your ROM and apps abd even apps installed in memory card and it can restore to as it was when the backup was taken... Just to be safe. Take one before flashing any rom.
9. I can't find play store!
-Flash GAPPS.
10. I can't download anything from PlayStore and It sometimes even give me errors.
- Remove the Google Account from Settings and then add again. That'd do it.
11. I have more questions?
- Again... Post it in the appropriate section.
Thanks for reading this. I hope you are somewhat clear of things.
These were all my views/whatsoever written here. I was pissed by so many idiotic posts.
Thanks.
P.S. Share this post and also suggest any new info which can be added.
:bump:
:angel:

I will add this to the index, other than that, please inform me if any important thread is missed out, or if any improvements can be made..
Sent from my bowl of jelly!
3. Which is the best ROM. (keeping aside the known bugs)
- Let me be brief and explain what's pro and cons of roms.
--> Sense/GB ROM: Laggy, Awesome UI, Good camera and video playback, less battery life.
--> CM/GB ROM: fast, crap ui (unless you theme it pretty good), lot of customizations, good battery life.

--> CM/JB ROM: WIP means still not as stable and has many bugs. Can be fast, can be slow. Depends on builds, average battery life.
Thanks for this. And now I am a bit wiser
You're welcome.
BTW Our devs worked hard for getting HQ videos on ICS... I'll test them and add the results to the list soon..
I still see people posting about best roms. I mean doesn't anyone even care to search for it? :X

I explain every new members. What pissed me off was watching the same person post in the wrong section again. I don't mean to offend anybody. Noobs means newbies. Also It's XDA's rule to read everything.
I was just trying to help because we don't have an active mod in this forum and it's spammed with same questions all over again. Maybe a title like this would attract someone to read it first. You'd have seen me posting link of this to people who are posting in wrong section and even requesting them to post in right one.
I didn't curse anyone or anything. It's really a shame that people aren't following something.
Anyways I was just trying to help and answer to as many threads as i can (I know of).
If i offended you in any way, I'm sorry..
