Develop Bugs

Weekly ICS ROM Updates

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.

Camera app - old vs ics new

Hi guys
I originally asked this in the Q&A section a week ago, but I wasn't sure if it belong here in the apps section instead. Since I didn't get any replies, I'm thinking maybe I should have posted it here to begin with. I hope someone in this section might be able to help.
If I'm not supposed to put this in two areas, I apologize. I'm not too forum saavy; just looking for help for my issue.
Thanks a lot guys
--- Original post ---
Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.

I'd love to see the old TW camera on CM9. The ported TW apps thread a couple posts down mentions this, but i haven't seen anyone post a successfully working version yet.

Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can figure it out for us. *crosses fingers*
Wishlist? Anyone?

Lol....I was running the peoples rom last week and was wondering the opposite. If there was a way to put the ics camera on that tw rom. That's an awesome rom and has the tw camera (obviously), but maybe just flash that and try it for a while?
On a side note.....Not sure if its just me, or does does the ics camera take much better (normal) pictures, even when zooming in quite a bit? I've been wondering if something was done in ics to better utilize the camera hardware.

I find the ICS camera to be really nice for just normal pics. Definitely faster and does seem to be on the clearer side. But I'm really needing that old auto panorama/wide shot feature. (non sweeping motion or ghost line up).

any roms with a working ffc?

I have been looking and looking but I have not seen any threads or any posts stating definitively whether or not any of the roms for the samsung galaxy s III that the front facing camera is working. Is there any way that anyone can answer my question. I am sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else. I have looked but I cant find it. If there is i will gladly go there for the answers

i believe all roms, have ffc are working, i was on blazer and it work, now on cm10 and its working too.

Yeah every ROM so far on the development side of this forum has a working FFC and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

lost sound on jelly bean rom

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.
[ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778190 ]

fixed sound issue
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.

They would, but there's that 10 post rule here on xda...

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.

RE: Task & Ktoonsez 4.2.1 ROM...

RE: Task & Ktoonsez 4.2.1 ROM...
I...absolutely...adore...this ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
But it's uber buggy.
I definitely understand that you're going to have bugs in a cutting edge ROM. I just wonder what the status of this ROM's development is and there's no way I could go through the seventeen thousand plus replies on the ROM's thread.
2 things:
1 - Is there any way to fix the messaging issues (it says nothing ever sends when it does), the unlock screen issues (I have it set to not have to hit enter to unlock but I have to anyway) or any of the other things this ROM does? Is there an update in the works?
2 - If there's not a way to fix these things, is there another 4.2.1 ROM out there that is less buggy yet?
I desperately want to run this ROM as a daily ROM!! The lock screen widgets, the camera, the stock messenger amongst other things...it's just so GOOD!
Any help, info and/or words of wisdom would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks!!

It will get fixed. Give it time as for the rest of your question : Nope and nope

Considering that this ROM just got released two days ago, you're not going to have to read through 17k replies. Maybe the last 15 pages or at least from the date of the release and all your questions will be answered. Probably within the first few pages that you read.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Dude, you have about 2-3 small bugs to complain about and you think you can't run this as a daily ROM? Come on, if you care that much about being bug-free then you should probably just stick with the Stock ROM.

or you could read the change log in the op

1 - Hey...as long as they are WORKING on the ROM still, I'm good. I'll keep checking for updates for sure. Can't wait!
2 - I knew someone would give me the "well...this is so new, you're stupid to ***** about it" reply. Knew it was coming and thank you for that MDX. I KNOW it's new. I KNOW it's going to have bugs. And, a partially functioning messaging app is anything but a "small bug." That's why I said, and I quote, "I definitely understand that you're going to have bugs in a cutting edge ROM." The whole purpose of this post was to find out if there are ways *I* could fix the things that are screwed up and/or help any and, if not, if there was another, similar, better ROM. Only n00bs run stock. I'm definitely not n00b.
3 - Thanks for the clarification, AJJ. I thought it was a new thread for the ROM and was actually like...what the ****!? How does this have so many replies!!?? I'll check that out. Thanks again.
Thanks everyone!!

Yeah...cause you cant text, or receive texts at all on the ROM...and nothing on the lock screen works**end sarcasm**....try cm10.1...only other 4.2.x rom out there...otherwise, this has already been covered ad nauseum in the Dev thread...

You don't have to read 17,000 posts ever - use search. Your answers will usually be found in the ROM thread, there is no need for this one - the issues are being addressed.
