Mike's ICS ROM - GT540 Optimus General

Before I say anything, I know this is probably in the wrong place, but it wouldnt let me post in the development forums because of my low post count, I also know this ROM is in a pre-alpha stage and will have many broken features and bugs, this is not what I am asking about.
I just want to know if anyone knows how big the ROM is, I want to try it out to see what it could be like, the download is 167MB, but is that how big the installed rom is? I have resized partitions in my flash memory, therefore if its bigger than 150MB I will need to resize again.
Also (I know basic question) will I still beable to boot to CWM to restore a nandroid backup of Swiftdroid? I know that atleast Wifi and GSM dont work, as long as the info on Mike's web page is up to date, this alone will mean I will need to roll back after I have had a look around, so a nandroid backup will be the best way.
I only ask the last question because I have only used swiftdroid so I need to make sure.

the download contain the recovery version and fastboot version in the one zip the system is about 140MB

Thanks, my system partition is just big enough, do you have any sugestions on a reasonable size for my system partition? Mainly for when more is working and I upgrade perminantly 10MB isnt enough for any updates imo.

I would suggest 160 system partition!

I dont get any rebooting on my phone, and barely any force closes except things confirmed not to work.
If you have resized system and data partitions, I changed my system partition to 170MB because there is alot to come to the rom and it could get alot bigger, I can always lower it if needed.

how do you partition the system to 180MB? I also have the same problem of restarting .. however there are problems with the keyboard and I found the official ICS only by the number of posts I am unable to post it on the official post .. so if anyone wants to take this job I can ask in PM the link (because of the number of posts I'm not insert link) (PS: this keyboard would solve many problems; D)

Guys flash JHA/JMI-roto it's lightning fast!!!

I flashed last night becuase rotohammer written in one of it's post that JMI v2 feb 04 2011 release is fast so i flashed and truly it's fast, web pages are opening fast, online videos too. Can anyone confirm that changing baseband is good? I have baseband JHA.

hey ayman07,
yes mod does now.
Thanks
I'm current using the overcome ROM, because its the only one with a circle battery. And you can install it with clockworkmod ^^ thats more comfortable
It s realy fast and smoth to. Ext4 is a total perfomance boost!
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
hey evil sadness thats really good to know that there is another ROM which i can try. But really i have no idea how to do clockworkmode or ext4. I wish i could have know.
Sorry if this has been covered in some other thread, but there are about a million individual posts to read. So. .
I use linux and Heimdal to do all my flashing.
If I have an ext4 ROM installed, currently MoDaCo, and happy with it, but if i want to install a non-ext4 ROM, like this razor fast ROTO-JMI build you mention,( or one of my Roto-backupsfor that matter), can I just do the usual install procedure or do I need to reformat somehow?
Ps I'd ask in the developer forum but can't as i don't have 10 posts. .
Pps. I'd attempt it, but don't know if this would somehow brick something

You need to repartition with the correct PIT file for your device/ROM combination to rebuild the file systems in order to use an RFS ROM.

I really liked JMI, but I can't live without Exchange Calendar support(No Calendars will show up in the Calendar App, even though they show a synced) which is broken in every JM build I have tested so far. The only other bug I encountered is that all Flashlight utilities will only turn the LED on for a few seconds before it turns off.
yeah i loved JMI too
Yeah i like both roto-jmi and modaco-custom with ext4 conversion (really fast). However, when i flashed either i lost my default chinese input. Does anyone know how to reinstall that? Is it the samsungIME.apk? Or another package perhaps?

titanium backup not working on the build
The new update seems to eliminate the software keys; is there a way to reenable them?
Don t agree just wipe everything and restore user app with Tb. Works fine however i think it s a bad idea do such about system/data.

If you haven't already done that, update your TB, the last version works on ICS.
I've been really enjoying this build. Thanks alot for the whole team!
UI runs very smooth and basicly no log at all.
Almost everything works better compared to the orginal 2.3.3 stock rom I used before.
Few things I noticed, the battery life seems to be somewhat worse.
Also a question about the multitasking in ICS. I cant find a way to open the thumbnails? Long pressing home doesnt seem to work and since theres no software based keys (which I think is a good thing) I'm not sure what to do.
Tab P1000 and I'm using the latest kerned (30.1) with bt fix and rom.

Hi all, this thread is a good idea, it mostly works on the galaxy s 2 cm9 forum but their are still idiots posting in the development area. Codeworx (the developer on s2 cm9 thread) has really bought into it and tells people to post in the discussion thread if they post noob stuff in the dev thread. If the devs here (cdesai, humberOS etc) buy into this discussion thread then maybe more people will use it
Anyways, i tried changing lcd density to 120 to check out more tablet apps on the market but when I do the keyboard zooms and I can only see half of it, so I can't type properly... Any ideas?

I know that I used the honeycomb alpha at 120 and liked it that small. But my question isn't about the best density to have, it's about the keyboard at 120 and if anyone knows how to fix it or has any suggestions.

[HELP] 3G restarts my phone

Hi everyone,
I recently flashed cyanogenmod 7.2 onto my HTC Wildfire and it kept restarting for an odd reason, I restored back to SplashMOD and it still has the same problem. I've turned 3G off and it seems to be fine, its just when I turn 3G on
Any help?
Maybe you overclocked your phone at 768MHz.... it isn't very stable

It says my phone needs to be GSM (I'm guessing that means unlocked) which my phone isn't. What is a good radio to flash? and do i need to do it before i flash a rom?
GSM means that it's a standard phone that works in any country. ie: it's not CDMA, which mean that it doesn't need special frequencies from the service provider.

like lo2ay already said GSM ("Global System for Mobile Communications") doesn''t mean "unlocked" and has nothing to do wih it.
But in case you didn't unlock your phone - and I'm not getting you totally wrong - this brings up a much more interesting question: if you don't have an unlocked Wildfire - how the hell have you been able to flash a ROM anyway? I'd guess one of the following might match your situation:
- you have a different phone (not a HTC Wildfire)
- you just thought you're going to flash a ROM but did something else instead
- your Wildfire is unlocked and you don't know it
Are you really serious about what you've done? What tutorial/how to did you use to flash Cyanogen Mod?
And yes: if your phone is a Wildfire (buzz) and not unlocked/rooted you can't flash a new radio because you can't flash anything custom...
I think he was meaning sim unlocked?

oh yes - I've been thinking about that for a few seconds - you're probably right.
Regarding my own little problem which I've also discussed a bit desperately here: may I ask you what you would try next with all your Wildfire experience? (I've never been really convinced that the V6 Supercharger or 3G Turbocharger scripts could be involved but after reading that a few people got that bootloop prob with 3G after messing around with them it looked so obvious).
I feared to investigate any further because I had the feeling it could cost a lot of time... so when I went on to solve the problem it turned out I was right with that: I've flashed the 7.2 stable today - with doing just a dalvik and system wipe without success and then a complete wipe - no success either.
I fear to revert back to a true stock rom (including s-off again) as it took me a lot of sweat to do that initially (that has been just in the middle of transformation from revolutionary to alpha rev with all the goldcard stuff etc.) - too make it short: what would you do?
Thx in advance for some input on this...
I would first check my mtd size settings! If you dont know what custom mtds are it means your not using them,if you are using them then you must remember to flash the bravo boot file straight after your rom flash before booting! If this is not your issue then i would do a clean flash of a rom. I.e wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, go into mount and storage and do all available wipes NOT sdcard, then flash the rom. If all fails then i would 1st try a reflash of a custom recovery and repeat previous clean rom flash. Now if it still didnt play ball i would scream at it, throw it at a wall then regret that step and move on to ruu.exe and start afresh lol.
On the v6 etc etc issue. Ive publicly said many times how much i hate this script and others like it! But this is only my opinion as i have had issues using them too in the early days. An app i use still to this day which gives you complete control over the effects of these scripts is autokiller memory optimizer. I will link to a thread i made some time ago to explain this app which can be found on the market.
This again can and most likely will be argued or debated as to its function but in my experience its a must have when used correct.

Sorry i only just noticed your link so my advice was for current op issue. However yes i believe these scripts are the cause im afraid. Still i would give you the same advice again as above or try a clean sense rom flash.
You can get safe ruu flashable zips too so as not to lose security or root so try these before going the exe route.
Hope you get a fix.

Now it's getting really weird... I've just put in a different SIM (out of the family) - different carrier. (the idea came to my mind somehow). Looks like the phone doesn't reboot with that.
If that's true and not by accident - what does that mean now? Usually I'd think about the radio - but I've completely wiped the phone (including a sense install in between) - could this be a hardware problem?
I guess I'll do the RUU thingy anyway. So I'll start to gather information on that.
If anyone has a good suggestion to do that as easy and quick as possible - I'd appreciate any suggestions.

If someone has a suggestion for a small Sense ROM (yeah I know) I'd prefer to do that first...

ICS AOKP ROM for the u8800

This is an AOKP ROM for the u8800. It is ported from Huawei Honor B977 4.0.3. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this and what they think. It's a chinese rom from the anzhi forums (original thread)
I flashed this ROM just now ( thanks fjsferreira for the mirror), this is my feedback:
- Fast, smooth (on par with Aurora).
- Wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, and the like work.
- No gapps, Play Store, camera, browser...(you pretty much have to install everything yourself).
- No strip unicode in the Mms.apk.
- Popup notification support in the Mms.apk.
- Cool AOKP tweaks (naturally...).
- No theme-chooser (meaning you'll have to stick with the mix of Touchwiz 5, ICS and lots of tranparency that is the UI).
- Long pressing the Home key doesn't show the multi-tasking interface and doesn't take you to the Homescreen.
- The SEARCH key is set to turn off the screen (to revert it to its normal function (searching!), check this post).
- I'll add more feedback information as more people try it and report.

Make sure the system folder fits in your system partition. I think you need to chacge the partitions in order to flash this, but I'm not sure. Our phone's default system partition is 210 mb
Has anyone tried it? Or have mirror?
I would love to give a try, but download time shows me 18 hours...
I have tried the previous ver actually..... Partition is a must, otherwise phone wont pass Huawei logo. Its ported from Huawei Honor ...every thing works well but Home key does not work..... But be aware some time it happens that you cant return to stock partition and you wont be able to Flash official 2.3 or Froyo ROM back.

I haven't tried that way, you can try once.... All 4.0 official ROM designed for U8800 PRO also officially they have made .app file for changing the partition to install ICS so i doubt it will work.

Actually this version is much smaller (109MB) than the previous (180MB), so it may not need re-partitioning. It has a ".UP" suffix so maybe it is an update flashable only and you need the previous installed, but I can't know since I cannot download it. It just goes soooooo slowwww....
camera not working

I know, right? I left the computer on and went to the beach but when I came back the file only had 86mb out of the 109mb...I'll have to try again tomorrow, since it will probably take some 4 hours to download.

If you guys use something to stabilize the download, like free download manager, speed is always above 800 KB/s (I've just finished my download, took less than 3mins)

EDIT: anyway, here it is
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4ZMZwAV0MEaVUUzMjRDM2JyXzg
(I didn't try this ROM yet, and probably won't, Aurora is completely stable for me right now)
Well, just went ahead and tried the ROM. From my 10 minutes playing with it, everything seems to work, wifi, mobile data, bluetooth and camera (camera isn't included by default, you have to install one).
Also, no market by default, you have to manually edit the zip file and include the market apk in it.
Sadly I had to uninstall it after 10 mins because, and I'm seeing this more and more, the dev completely screwed up the UI... it's simply horrible, it's not default AOKP at all... He made a complete mess with icons from samsung, an horrible background in every app, horrible popups and menus, etc... I didn't like that at all. I didn't even took the time to create screenshots, I'm sorry, because it was burning my eyes...
There are some stuff completely in chinese, in the ROM control area of the settings, but overall, you can choose any language that Android includes. Note, while the theme of the UI isn't AOKP, the ROM itself is, with the usual settings AOKP provides,
Performance wise, I saw no difference than with aurora...

You can include this too... Its ported from Huawei Honor 4.0 977 ver ROM and home key doesn't show recent apps opened and doesn't take you to home either.

Thanks. I reverted to the good old .32 kernel yesterday, so I won't be testing this one for now. However, I'll still update the OP with the links to the latest version and the features/bugs list.

Best ROM that fits in 150Mb or how to trim the ROM to fit in 150Mb?

Hello all!
Could you please recommend best ROM that fits into 150Mb?
Thanks!

OK, I have learned that ROMs can be "edited" before flashing and that some can be reduced to <150Mb.
ATM, I am trying to reduce Miroslav's AOSP to <150Mb. Deleted ring-tones (cca 15Mb). Now I must delete a few apps. Could someone recommend which apps can be "safely" removed? Is it enough to remove .apk to remove accompanying application? (I have tried to ask about this in Miroslav's AOSP thread, but I can't post in development thread because I have less than 10 posts :-S )
Thanks in advance!
Same problem here...

:laugh: I hope we will get pass that 10 posts limitation soon .
Which ROM do you use? Any recommendation for <150Mb ROMs or how to trim a ROM?
CM7.2 by Tejas build three, fits perfectly onto 150 MB system partition.
You can also try aokp by rishabh.raj37.
It is also a very fast ICS rom.

AOKP needs "180-190" MB. I don't think any ICS is easy to trim into 150 MB.
yes you can. take away useless ringtones apps and livewallpapers

It is interesting that the /system size for his ICS is only 137.5Mb and therefore should fit into 150Mb limit. Nevertheless the OP says it needs 180-190Mb. Maybe I am missing something.
Ringtones+notifications take about 5Mb and bootanimation.zip is 2.3Mb and that can be deleted without problem I guess.
You wrote "ringtones APPS". What apps are connected with ringtones? And where can I find livewallpapers in the .zip file (I found only livewallpapers.apk with 1.1Mb size)?
Thanks!
well then follow this, h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones

Oh! Many, many thanks! This is just what I needed! . Heck, now 150Mb seems too large
i offten delete thins i dont use like ringtons, and apps like:
CM7 Update Advisor (useless since we run unnofficial releases)
Google Talk
Email (only use the Gmail and the hotmail app)
Market Commentary Agent
Calendar Storage
Google Calendar syncro
Sim Services
Live Wallpapers
Pico TTS
Music player (i use winamp pro)
Market updater
VPN
Sound recorder
Initial advices (some roms have it but dont use it, some are unstable if you delete this)
And sometimes i delete some apps delevopers add like notes or another calendar...or the twitter app (i use tweetcaster)
Almost any app can be deleted from the room if is not system critical (like Android System, certificate or packege installer, etc etc) i just 2 times had problems with this, once i deleted the launcher selector and launcher app from system (i was using Go Launcher) and i made some mistakes with V6 Supercharger so i wiped out everything but i forgot that the system would'nt have a launcher so i only got boot and then the wallpaper but nothing else.
And the second one i deleted Google play services or some relative app...my download and my uploads too an when i downloaded something from the web browser i had "failed download" or "damaged packed" from google play.
