ICS recommendation for a bud of mine..

I got a buddy with an epic touch. He wants ics really bad. I own a tmo gs2 (I know I know :-/) I was wondering which of the ics roms you fine folks have flashed is most "fully functional" and good enough as a stable daily driver. My thanks in advance.

Btw it doesn't need to be aosp. Tw is probably preffered since that's what he's used to. Besides we all know the different is negligible

He could start with FE07 leak. It's ICS with TW and its pretty stable compared to some of the earlier leaks. It's an easy flash, too, thanks to sfhub's odin. You can find it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642564

That is a hard question to answer as everyone has a favorite for different reasons. They are all pretty stable. Calkulins E4GT 2 is one of the more stock looking with a few battery saving tweaks. Blend ICS "Goodness" has really nice themed ics look and has very similar tweaks. AOKP Roms are fairly stable abd have built in ROM Control which is very nice. I'm using HyDrA tablet hybrid ROM and its stable, but because of the dpi settings the market sees the phone as a tablet and you have to change your dpi to download regular apps from the market.

Have him check out Blu Kuban. It's a simple install, has a ROM updater and good support.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535
There are a number of really amazing ICS ROMs, Anakonda, Venum Ice, Nocturnal Venum, actually anything from Teams Nocturnal and Venum, also anything from Calkulin, agat63 has some really sweet, clean work as well and you can never go wrong with sfhub's one-clicks.

Another vote for fe07 leak then if your friend likes it send them here to figure it out on their own.

FE07 will be your best option for a beginner. Don't go to AOSP until source kernels are released. FE07 will be the most stable. CM9 is very stable too though.

Wow you guys are really far ahead. All we got is skyrocket ports and the tmo ics leak that just dropped lol. Kudos gents.

ive tried the leaked builds, Hydra (great concept, but small font even with tweaks, also app incompatibilities), blukuban, ive tried them all.
For me aokp is the best one out of them all. Im really enjoying it. works and looks great

and you are using AOKP as a daily driver?
No random reboots etc?

The reason for this is because of the kernel for ICS not being released from Samsung/Sprint yet. It's pretty simple to do all the regular CWM functionality on an ICS based ROM though - Use Odin (or highly recommended: Mobile Odin from the play store, which doesn't require a PC) and put the el26 CWM kernel on your phone (it's found many places, like the AOKP OP for example). It wont boot up with this kernel so just boot into recovery and from there you can backup, flash themes, wipe things, and then to get back to your ROM simply flash an AOSP tweaked kernel - also readily available (in AOKP OP again).
Certainly a few more steps than we were used to on GB Roms but it's totally worth it to me. ICS is a massively better experience for me so the few hoops to jump through are worth it. When that source kernel hits (any day now) it will be the land of milk and honey.

I hope the official Sammy ICS comes to us!

So it seems that Sammy has released ICS stock for SGS3 and SGS2. I'm hoping that this makes it to all versions or at least we can use the base to slap together something for us here. Long shot, but you can always hope....

That's pretty cool! If they don't don't do that for us, it must be because of Sprints request.

Well technically the Epic touch is still on Gingerbread so I don't think they would be able to port to our phone yet.

Once the source is released a good developer could build a stock AOSP ICS ROM for our phone...
It would be nice to start from a un-modified Android ROM so that we could have something similar to CM9 with tweaks specific for only the E4GT.

I totally agree with you on ICS based ROMs are buggy and laggy. I've tried a few now and I haven't really been blown away with ICS so far. And I agree with the need for an official build for our ET4G's.
But I don't think it's Samsung's fault totally, I'd almost place most of the blame on Sprint. The international GS2's have their ICS update, and we all know to well that the ET4G's update to ICS is being worked on and tweeted by Sprint. A good portion of our ICS custom ROMs come from Sprints development and leeks, so it's there.
Sprints got a few new ICS devices out like the new Nexus and EVO. Plus more in the works for this summer, mainly the GS3. I always feel that most of the "feet dragging" on updates are done by the carriers. Why would they be concerned with updating last year's hardware, it only costs them money. When they could focus on selling us the next big thing with all the new bells and whistles and make some money. But hey that's just my opinion on the it.
For my money I'm sticking with 2.3.6... I've been running a stock, rooted, debloated rom as well as the stock kernel and modem for the last few weeks now and loving it. Using GoLauncherEX as my launcher I get no lag, and haven't had to deal with any lockups, random restarts or apps not working right or not at all.
Updates are always going to be an issue... I remember the wait for Froyo, it finally came out and most of us were disappointed with it. Then the wait for Gingerbread started... It fixed a lot of issues, but over the last year or so with the release of 2.3 and it's minor updates Gingerbread has become very stable and fast. Especially on devices like our ET4G'S, Gingerbread was originally written for lower spec devices so... On a device that's capable of running ICS it runs like a dream. But again that's just my opinion.

Are you talking about the Galaxy Nexus on the left? In the case of Galaxy phones, Samsung will never release a plain ICS version w/o touchwiz. Just gotta wait for kernel source and aosp rom developers to mess with it.

Ah, the lucky bastards... Although I expected it for carrier reasons, of course.
I'd love to see how touchwiz and all is improved through jelly bean, since it already seems pretty damn smooth, so looks like I'm spending today looking at that instead of studying for my exam!
EDIT: from what I read, it doesn't look like it's near done, as there seem to be a bunch of problems with the leak... At least it means Samsung isn't just holding out on everyone!

Yes, you do. I tried to flash a TouchWiz mod while on CM9 and my phone wouldn't boot. Had to use Odin to get back to stock firmware, reflashed the firmware from before and it worked.

touchwiz mod or rom? Most of the earlier touchwiz roms didn't come with a kernal which is one reason it made it so it wouldn't boot after coming from cm9 which does install an aosp kernal
Odin will overwrite the recovery/kernal/system but not data.

Heard that if you dont flash this over the stock original you can brick the devie. All and all its a good news, hopefully ours will leak out soon

I can't wait to see what the US version will be like. I was running CM10 but went back to ICS because it just wasn't stable enough for me at the time. They are coming a long ways tho with CM10 and might be switching back soon. I wanted to flash the leak but its not worth the risk of bricking my phone.

Considering there's no touchwiz tablet ui for 4.1 yet the only thing I could see being ported would be a touchwiz phone ui. And even then that would be a challenge in its own. But xda proves the unlikely everyday so who knows.

Far be it for me to support TW, but the new TW on S3 looks ok(not good, but ok). I prefer the N7's look (tried true tab UI fix, 192DPI,160DPI but came back to the default 1), but that doesnt mean ppl shouldnt have options. I am more of a sense 4 fan though.

i don't know if it is possoble, but: i found an option in the latest jelly bean touch wiz leak, to activate TabletUi. I only tested it with Galaxy Nexus but it force closed. Smalldookie ordered a nexus 7, when it's there we will try.

If you want a 7" tablet with TouchWiz, Samsung has a lot of them for you to look at. Using a ported TouchWiz ROM on the Nexus 7 probably wouldn't work that well, with TouchWiz being propitiatory and all.

I just don't get why someone would buy a device and shoehorn something onto it like this. It seems like when stuff like this happens the performance isn't as good and features are missing.
Why not wait a month or two and wait for the manufacturer to develop it properly, then have vanilla android built for it? You get the best of both worlds. With the price to performance ratio, and popularity of the platform, it is bound to happen.
Edit: Additionally, it can be viewed that wanting this would tell manufacturers "We want your skin on any android device" and they would open it up to allow that to happen. However, it just seems they hear "I want your locked down customized device so much I'm going give you tons of money!" and things just continue as the locked down platform you mentioned.

To each his own. No its not a crime to want touchwiz but it's a forum so I'm going to state my opinion

The only reason I considered a galaxy tab 2 was because touchwiz. It just makes a tablet more fun, has alot more options.

But it also is missing the drag and drop to create folders functionality. Folders in Touchwiz act more like gingerbread. Also don't get the screenshot button, it's pointless, screen shots are already built in holding power + volume down. The screen shot virtual button is easy to bump.
To each his own. Ever since I put cm7 on my captivate I've been somewhat of an android purist. I always thought sense looked cool so I got my vivid and flyer to check it out and found i didn't like it as much as I though I did. Sense is neat but unnecessary and makes customization a pain. I activated the aosp lockscreen on my vivid yesterday only to find out that alarms and phone calls won't display when the phone is locked because Sense uses its lockscreen to display the information.
I think pre ics the skins were necessary because android was an ugly beast and most of the core apps were very basic but ics and up android looks gorgeous and skins just impede on its natural beauty. Put it this way when my vivid got its ics update I was sure if it updated or not. Everything still looked like gingerbread. I had to check the settings to make sure I was indeed on 4.03. And htc disabled the over scroll and ics animations!

VZW Galaxy Nexus Xperia Z Rom (Teaser + Other)

Hey guys, i recently started making a Xperia Z Rom for the VZW Galaxy Nexus Community. Its still a work in progress and it will be uploaded whenever i feel like its stable enough to be a daily rom. There are alot of things broken right now such as Camera and lots of FC's. This rom will be based of AOKP 4.1.2. I chose android 4.1.2. because i feel that it is the most stable and fastest android version out there right now (And the Xperia Lockscreen would only work with android 4.1). This is fully customized with lots of Xperia apps and things such as boot animation. Right now im working hard to release this soon (Just need to fix some things). This rom will be 450+ MB's in size, <<< Due to all the xperia apps and what not. Im trying to slim it down a bit before releasing it.
Some features
Gapps integrated
Sony Walkman
Sony Sound enhancer
Sony Bravia Engine
Xperia Z Lockscreen
Xperia Z Boot Animation
Xperia Home Screen
Xperia Apps.
Etc... (I dont want to give away to much

Yes, the radio interface layer is how the ROM communicates with the radio hardware. On a GSM, the radios are different so the ril would also need to be different to know how to make the communication between the hardware/software properly. Once the radio images are in place, its a done deal, just making sure the ril files are specific to the hardware version the ROM is for. May be more than this I haven't learned yet.
Edit: it appears there are binaries for additional hardware such as WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. that are also specific to GSM/CDMA variants. Not sure there is a difference or why there would be.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Pretty sure the WiFi and Bluetooth binaries are identical between GSM and CDMA variants, WiFi works on the CDMA port of Ubuntu Mobile and all that was changed was the build.prop so it would flash on a toro and toroplus.

It wouldnt matter if the hardware drivers are different in each rom all i really have to do is test a few modifications to the rom and the rest just add a custom script with all the Xperia Addons. The same way AlienDroid flashed itself.
Most likely i can get a sprint version working almost immediatly. Is there anyone with the sprint model here? I need you to flash a zip on a specific rom. If that works then i can get the sprint version released roughly about the same time as the Verizon one. PM Me.
I can probably make a file that can be flashed on all 3 Gnexus and work properly. Im going to test it a bit.
Edit - Rom is uploaded and read to be downloaded. I will make a new thread tommorow in the VZW section with a download link. For now i need sleep.

Brother please make one for NExus 4 as well...looks fantastic...also..what is thatin the first screenshot? The flip-sort of thing?
Thanks again!
