[TELUS T959D Fascinate]-Running S.U.R.F.A.C.E ICS - Fascinate General

First of all I would like to give credit where credit is due and say thank you to SamHaLeKe for all the work he put into this port and all the other Developers involved to bring ICS to the SGS
If you would like a full run down of this ROM and what is included as any new developments, please visit the ROM thread
Now off to the good bits ...
Install
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND YOUR PHONE CEASES TO WORK. THIS IS NOT A DETAILED WALK THROUGH BY ANY MEANS. I AM ASSUMING YOU READ ONE OF THE MANY OTHER TELUS THREADS THAT HAVE THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED TO PERFORM THE BELOW STEPS.
Note: I am not going to post all the links to files as I do not have the time to update them everyday when something changes. I will however post links to the ROM and Kernel threads for your reference.
I decided to start fresh (and I mean fresh) from stock FROYO with a full SD format and the works.
Step 1
Flashed back to stock with ODIN. Again I used FROYO but I am sure GB would work. If you want to start fresh as I did, go to options storage and format the internal SD (13 GB).
Step 2
Download the ROM and Glitch V13 kernel (what I used) and copy them to the SD card of the phone. I suggest removing any external SD as not to copy the files to the wrong spot (guess what I did LOL).
Step 3
Flash voodoo kernel from ODIN to root and install clockwork recovery making sure that you do not repartition in ODIN
Step 4 - Note: The older voodoo kernel gave an "assert failed" error trying to flash the ROM through recovery)
Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik then flash the Glitch V13 kernel from zip and reboot. At this point you will most likely be boot looping but no worries everything is OK
Step 4
Pull the battery and then boot into recovery with volume up + volume down +power. Wipe cache and dalvik and flash the ROM from the ZIP
Let the ROM boot and then again boot to recovery and flash the essentials zip.
Voila you should be running S.U.R.F.A.C.E ICS, aint it beautiful?
I continued and flashed add on packs 1 and 2 but that is up to you
Now for my findings thus far ...
I am in no way a power user when it comes to my phone but I do play with it a lot. I have to say that this ROM seems to be the one of the smoothest to date and seems to take to our device nicely.
Battery has been nothing short of great for me. Through the week I can easily get 2 days out of it (work all day). Now I also try to minimize the drain by turning off whatever I don't need like WIFI seeing as there is none where I work.
I flashed the JL3 modem and it seems to work good for me but then I don't live where you do so you may have better luck with another.
The kernel included in the ROM (if you read the ROM post) is Glitch V14 pre which runs amazing as usual although still in the development stage. This kernel has a lot of new features that I will let you read up on yourself here
The ROM also includes supercharger and thunderbolt scripts (I admit I have little to no experience with these but I do know they help).
No FC's with this ROM other then the video camera but I have seen some posts regarding this and have not got around to working on it but will be I am sure very soon. It looks like just a file update maybe but too soon to tell.
Live overclock seems to work if I leave the voltage settings alone but that could just be a lack of experience in this area but it never hurts to try. If anyone has settings that are working for them I would love to know what they are. I have set the live overclock to 120% or 1.2ghz and it runs fine again if I do not change the voltage.
It's only been about 3 days since the install but this is what I got so far. I would recommend giving it a try for sure.
I know there are a few of us on this ROM so post up your findings here.
Thank you
Buck

Similar but running Glitch v14
Thanks for the write up Buck. I have been running this rom (Surface) for a few days also but I came from cm7 to this one. I have also been toying around with it over the last few days which has gotten me in a few tight spots lol. I have my Volt control set to 1304, no voltage changes and it runs flawlessly. The modem I put on was the JVT which also seems to work well.
What I have learn about Live OC:
First you set your clock speed in Volt control, then flip over to NStools (that is the easy part)
IMPORTANT.... If you choose to mess with this, make sure settings in NStools is NOT set to apply on boot or make sure you have a good recovery to go back to. Found this out the hard way
Click on live oc and you can make changes here... If you read the articale from Glitch on this it will help alot (found in the OP for T959D).
Live oc clocks up the cpu AND bus so it affects the gpu and memory along with the cpu (very important).
Findings... some settings work fine, 105, 106,110, 114, 116. 115 seems to have issues and provides lower performance considerably lower.
I use AnTuTu to check how things are working. That being said, if you apply set at boot and you hit a setting that first craps out the phone, causes a reboot then your going to be in a bootloop or it will start reboot start reboot. This is why you DON'T do this or like I said earlier have a good recovery handy.
Right now I am only running 1304 and 100% and everything is fine except the prior mentioned FC on video cam. Oh I should mention also I am running the Lazy governor atm which also seems to work fine (default is on demand).
Anyways

Well I think we may have broken the record for the longest 2 posts on the first page in xda history lol. Happy flash year everyone

Didn't notice you guys mention this, but Glitch V14 has an option in CWM to clear NSTools settings. It's right above the option to clear voltage settings under the Glitch Menu.
It works well, believe me!!

I'm on ICS!
Thanks bucky!!
I'm on ICS now, with Glitch v14 but I have a few questions I'm hoping you can help with:
- The screen layout / icons seem shrunken to me? As well as the notification bar. General text and keyboards are fine. Is there a fix I can apply?
- With further versions from Surface can I just flash over top of what I'm on now or do I need to go back to stock?
- Do I need to use TI to bring all my apps back up (I get "App X has stopped working"), or is there a quicker way?
Thanks again.

Well the shrunken icons are because of the DPI setting in the build.prop file. You can change it with a text editor (I use root explorer) to the default value of 240. It is listed as LCD Density.
To flash another version you should be fine to flash over what you have with a factory reset and wipe cache
Apps well I usually just re-download from the market. I have used TI and found I get the best result if I restore without data. Remember not all apps are compatible with ICS yet so that could cause issues as well.
Enjoy the ICS I know I do.

Hey Guys,
Why not just use rom toolbox? the build.prop tweaks give ya a niffty slider... no hackin involved...

Nothing like that here maybe the way it was flashed I am not sure. Have you added anything?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Only flashed the add-ons, and the launcher pack. Changed the LCD density and that's about it. I'm thinking it might be because I didn't wipe the sd card and start clean.

Just set these values tonight and so far all is good and no crashes or reboots. See if it helps the battery as the days go by. Give it a shot or post your working values for others to try.
AND NO I NEVER SLEEP

Thanks for posting your OC and UV values. I'll give those a try.
I've been experiencing random crashes and reboots (woke up this morning to a dead phone). It was plugged in overnight but crashed at some point and did not charge. Battery voltage dropped down to almost nothing.
Anyone else experiencing random reboots?
I was using an OC value of 1304 (no live OC). UV values left stock. Ondemand governor, Deep idle ON, noop IO scheduler.
I did not format my sdcard prior to install. Just did a data wipe/factory reset, format cache and dalvik then installed according to the instructions. Installed Add-on Essentials and Add-on Pack One. All other apps were reinstalled from the market (after using market enabler and changing DPI back to 240 using ROM manager).
Everything works great except for the random crashes and reboots. I'll probably start from scratch again when v1.3 comes out (except I will format the SD card). Maybe even start from stock Froyo as recommended in the OP.
EDIT:
Tried the settings and my phone was not happy. It froze when setting the UV values. My phone seems to have a problem with any live OC value other than 100%. As soon as I increase it I lose all stability.

1.3 released and I am running it.

Settings
I'm on Glitch v14 pre5 and I just clocked it up to 1300 and added 104% live OC for a stable 1352, no undervolting battery sitting @ 68% 1 day 22hrs. I did turn off some stuff I dont use and had data running on and off for the whole time.
For the guys that are having problems with flashes, I generally wipe everything I know its a pain but I don't experience any problems either. I also wait until i have a full battery too. It seems to pay off in the long run...
Happy Flashing!!!

Phone and contacts are working well now, but I can't get app data to save. For example some apps t's&c's keep asking for approval everytime I open the app. Also beautiful widgets skins keep reverting back to default. I'm going to wipe, format the SD card and install 1.3 from stock Froyo. here's hoping.

Just wiped and running 1.3 now. So far seems much better and faster than my last flash. You guys know of any way to change the haptic feedback intensity in ics?

I think this Hero config is just about perfect..

Ok, so this isn't a new ROM or anything like that, but i think that the way i set up my Hero ROM on the G1 is the best it could ever be. What I have
8gigclass6 card
ext3~450.54
linux-swap~80.564
these values are all weird but I used paragon to partition, I can't seem to get exact values; but whatever.
1) Flashed modaco 1.51, then his latest 1.54 JAC-SKI - experimental
2) Used Root Explorer to remove plurk,bizreader,bookmarks widget, all the unecessary stuff
3) and actually using setcpu to set to 528.
4) replace Browser.apk with MILGN 2.0.1's Browser.apk
5) and finally Open-Message Hero LED from jinx10000
let me know how this all works guys!!
Of course credit goes to all these rom devs and EVERYONE who did hero stuff or just plain-old rom stuff!!
BTW, running This setup, no fc's and haven't seen HTC load screen since initial setup
Swappiness? I have found 100 swappiness to provide the least amount of lag...Your linux-swap partition size I can confirm from a lot of testing is the best size.
I honestly have no idea what swappiess is set to. I just have the partitions set up and everything is stock to modaco. And like I said the beauty of this set up is that there is almost NO LAG at all. Quote me on it, amazing!!

[ROM][froyo]-di11igaf's Rom v2.5 AND BETA 3.0- 12/16/10

NO LONGER SUPPORTED
ODIN 1 CLICK TO STOCK JF6 BEFORE FLASHING 2.0[/B
Added updated flashable zip to bottom of post which includes some theme updates, apk updates and themes, and some window animations. This post will be hopefully be updated tomorrow with a newer version, and this clockwork flashable .zip should hold off those who waiting on the rom update.
first boot will take a bit.
This is a brand new rom ive been working on for the last few days. Based on newest i9000 froyo release UGJK3 (build date 11/18) and tweaked from there.
-SetiroN 1.5 kernel -user configurable OC up to 1460/default is 1200(go to 1400's at your own risk
-haptic feedback works on ALL buttons
-OC/UV support-voltage control app installed to /data/app
-BLN added and required lights.so lib added to /data/app
-apps and framework deodexed and optimized
-zipaligned
-rooted, busybox and sqlite included
-extended power controls(reboot, recovery, download)
-Captivate dialer, camera, etc. (no video chat references)
-Completely themed with pieces from all of my favorite themes(pics of theme seen HERE
-Fixed build.prop so protected apps can be seen on the market
-Big APN file for instant inernet/mms access
-ad-blocking
-AOSP themed lockscreen
-HSUPA enabled -comes with UGJK3 modem(no need to do anything crazy to get 850 working-this modem works as is)
-this rom will not switch back and forth between H and 3g, the symbol should stay on 3g even if hsupa is enabled and working
-comes with SWYPE, dark Droid X multitouch keyboard, and samsung keyboard
-Launcher Pro and TWlauncher included in /system/app
it seems like Samsung took some advice from gtg with the twlauncher(never seen the stock launcher this fast or smooth)
-removed some junk apps
-added
voltage control 2.0
cyanogen MMS (switch background color-white/black)
updated maps and youtube
flash player will auto-install
Starting with v3.0, d1g1talphyre will be helping with all future versions of the rom. Im going to be extremely busy is in the upcoming weeks so this will help me get 3.0 out faster to you guys.
3.0 changelog-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9876005&postcount=597
3.0.1-only difference is the power menu fix. there is a .zip for those who have 3.0 already around page 76 or so.
here is a link to a circle batt mod made by d1g1talphyre. this framework-res.apk will only change the circle batt and thats it. rest of the theme is the same.

-all window animations added except for bounce-credit to [email protected]
probably some more small things that i forget right now.
When you apply your lagfix, choose option one when prompted "backup AND restore"
Install Instructions:
as always, its best to flash to stock JF6 with the odin one click downloader.
copy this rom to your internal sd card, and after flashing stock. flash this through Clockwork Recovery. thats it. no need to do anything with the jg8 modem or anything like that.
on first flash, all=ext4 is enabled by default-if you want to use something else, select go back to recovery then go to the lagfix options and enable whatever you want. when your prompted with the options about backing up, i suggest choosing option 1. this will do a backup and restore so you will not lose any apps(the other options you will lose the apps in /data)

Credit to xcaliberinhand-he made the original kernel for us to be able to use i9000 roms and hsupa modems
Been looking forward to this.
Thanks, I'll try it tonight.
+1
i hadn't planned on it, but it looks like i'll be flashing today
sweet! downloading and flashing @ work, excited to test.
I couldnt apply lag fix right away had to reboot first ... BUT it did tell me my configs changed ???? ... I chose option 1 and noticed it set up like this
ext4
rfs
ext4
false
false
false
false
?????
booting up was about 2 minutes on android logo
reboot to recovery then fix it to no rfs advanced ... ( all jfs )
looking good I previously dropped this rom because of modem giving me issue
will set my stuff and report back if needed .
PS why is the Fm app always in your rom ? do you hope it will work at one point ?
looks great yay launcher pro included
you few that download already, here is a better videoplayer.apk. it doesnt fix the problem, but at least youll be able to view your recorded videos from /sdcard-dcim-camera. still looking at problem and trying to find a fix.
from this point on this video player is included with the rom.(reuploaded)

some people have said if that app is removed it can cause problems. if you dont like it, remove it from /system/app.
first boot will take a while as it zipaligns and deodexes.
and btw this rom has nothing in common with my other di11is darkyy rom except my theme. this is my own base.
Ive been running your darky rom 2.0.1 for a day with the jk3 modem. Downloading now to check out the CM mms. I hope its the one with the notification vibration types like multiple long.

thx bro. was planning on reflashing myself to verify.
My home button didnt work either, not sure about lock screen. Flashing back to stock now.
My home button worked fine. hmmm, also I can confirm the video player.apk in the first post for us couple who downloaded early is letting me play video. But just as stated, can only open it from file manager to view.
great rom so far, its fast. Yes, I did run benchmarks, not that they really matter anymore. can notice the difference in speed when deleting widgets, open anything. It screams, props di11igaf, awesomely quick rom.

just downloaded my own file, reflashed to stock put the downloaded file on my sd and flashed again with no probs. first thing i did though was apply lagfix and when the backup and restore options pop up make sure you choose the first option to backup and restore all data.
let me know if you do reflash this if you have the same problem.

preciate it, will try later. problem probably because i apply lagfix "without backup and restore."
ahh ya i bet thats why. not sure why it really would matter(since the problem your describing would be an android.policy.jar problem) but im gonna try it that way and see if it makes a difference. thats the only thing different that we did though.
also i think if you apply the lagfix that way, any apps in the rom that are in /data/app by default will not be restored-at least this has happened to me in the past and why now i always do a backup and restore.
I did a yes without backup and restore, and the home button ain't workin.

Get aospCmod 2.3 to boot on your Hero

EDIT: thread no longer needed - ROM boots at 691 now
This is for the limited heroes which cannot function at 768mhx, like mine. First let me say you need to go to the GB thread and read the wiki for rom install intructions FIRST. I have added a section on that wiki page about kernels and clockspeeds near the bottom. Ok, the stock aospGB kernel or deca's uncapped #589 both scale to 768 freely, and some heroes can't handle that high of a frequecy but CAN handle speeds over 691.
I have FINALLY figured out how to get the kernel to BOOT less than 768 reliably, and it was super easy. I have tested it on deca's uncapped #589 so far. I have updated the main page of the wiki AGAIN about freezes/bootloops with this info if people need it later. The GB wiki is "readme" in the OP of the aospGB thread.
Instructions: First I assume you are on 01/28 GB already, running a capped 691 kernel or deca's #43 scaled to your max. Go into your root explorer app, navigate to system/ etc/ init.d/ and open the "30cpumem" file with the text editor, change the max frequency to whatever your phone can handle,i.e. 710xxx,729xxx,748xxx (mine is 729600). Then reboot into recovery and flash the #589 uncapped 768mhz kernel, and the reboot the phone. This worked for me with no hiccups. Since I used root explorer, I can't tell you the adb codes, so if you know them feel free to make the same file edit that way - and update the wiki if it works. Happy trails.
CREDITS:

The stock kernel should only boot at 691. 30cpumem already reads that for me, and I have never touched that file. Also, whenever I flash the newest update and use No-Frills, the max is always already set @ 691 as well.

hmm, well, guess I'm a little past due then. lmao. Well, the info still works if you want to go OVER 691 at boot, like me with 729. Thanks for thr info though.

[Q] x8 does not overclock

Hi everybody...
I know I'm not a dev, but I like to explore my android phone. So you are developing, and right after i'll be trying to do it... on my own
I believe I followed all the steps refered in x8 overclock module thread in devs section, but since I can't ask this there, i'll ask it here.
1st - Download and unzip x8oc.zip (the right version), then copy x8oc.ko to system/lib/modules (I'm sure the file is there, system is mounted rw).
2nd - Edit hw_config.sh on pc with notepad++ (my edited file is attached) and "glue it" back to system/etc after editing.
3rd - Reboot... and then what?! It reboots, but when I go to set cpu, I have same frequencies as before (122-600mhz). So, my x8 is not overclocked right?!
Beside this steps do I need to do something else?! In set cpu, do I select any device configuration or just auto detect frequencies?!
Do I need to set custom frequencies in any other files?!
I've just tried lot's of changes and nothing worked.
Please help me on this...
I'm using floyo 0.15 on my x8, rooted and with xrecovery on it...
Thank you all
the attachment is correct..and don't change the set cpu. i use the same roms like yours
Do you think that having baseband version 006 instead of the 015 could be the cause for this problem? I never updated it...
Because, I've done it again without touching set cpu and still no overclock... If you say it's correct, then I really don't know what else could it be...
Thank anyway for the reply
I think it is very influential on baseband cuz for the rom said that use xx15,...if yours non xx15 so try to change it ...what you've applied on the hw_config is same on mine so it's quitely correct.
Hi mate
So, I'll tell you what i've done.
Went to SE's site and repaired to the original 2.1 so restarted the phone, updated to baseband 015, then root, then xrecovery... and then, installed miniCM. As you know, miniCM has an update.zip to easily overclock it to 710MHz.
I tried it and it worked fine. BUT! I prefer Floyo 0.15 (the best till the moment for me) and so I tried to do something, when I restored back to Floyo.
Adding the code to the original hw_config.sh in floyo's file didn't work again. So I thougt... Let's trie to put MiniCM's hw_config (the file that comes in the update.zip) to floyo's system. And... It's working FINE!!! I'm currently running at 749(x27)Mhz and it doesn't go off... it's stable. Also handles 767(x28)Mhz but it's not so stable. Now I'm really satisfied with my overclocked x8.
But there is one reason that made me think of where was the mistake.
When I opened floyo's original hw_config and added the code, in notepad++ it was apparently correct and the visual configuration of the file was equal to miniCM's hw_config file (already with the code). But, when I opened the both in wordpad, the file I edited had the same format as in notepad++ and the file from MiniCM had all together and a different layout. So I thought that it was possible that android wasn't reading the file well, since the configuration of the code was different. And it worked so smoothly
So my question is, does notepad++ write in the language needed for this to work?! or is there anything needed to change in order to make it legible to android system?
Thanks again
Sorry for all this noob questions, but since you use the same rom as mine, it's a good chance to ask what I don't know. lol
Our rom comes out with app2sd pre installed right?
So it was suposed that I could move some programs to sd.
But, when I go to settings/apps manager There's the option to move apps to sd, but they all say "fail moving the app".
What do I have to do to make it work well?! Heard that the sd had to be partitioned. What program did you use to do that?!
That's the only thing left to make x8 perfect and full of memory lol
Thanks
I managed to OC it manually to 710 MHz in miniCM6, BUT no performance increase was detected. Quadrant score was consistently lower (~750) compared to no overclock (~850),
Any ideas?
I OCed it to 719MHZ with miniCM and i really felt an improvement. Switching menus and sliding on the home-screen (GO launcher) is really smoother.
Quadrant-Standard-Score:
@600MHz (ON DEMAND): ~520
@719MHz (PERFORMANCE): ~920

and about battery life, noticed any difference after OverClock your Phone?

it drains a bit faster with the PERFORMANCE-govenor, but my phone is loaded every night anyway.
It is even less important to me, because when it reacts faster, i don't need to have it turned on as long as when it is laggy. And the display really needs most of the battery-power, so i may even save battery, when i can turn it off earlier.
Return to 600mhz
I can not use the overclock because when I reboot the phone it is on 691Mhz soon after he returns to 600mhz. I know that the CPU clock is dynamic, but he never returns to 691mhz. What did I do wrong? I used the XDA tutorial for overclocking.
Don't work yet
I just try full wipe and did not work. I think it's some parameter or file permission...

[ROM][BL1.1][BL1.2] GtabComb beta 3.3 (updated 7/27/2011) Gtablet\Zpad T2

MOD EDIT: AS WE ARE REORGANIZING THE GTABLET FORUM - ALL ROMS/KERNELS/ETC WILL HAVE THEIR Q&A POSTS MOVED TO THE Q&A SECTION.
THE Q&A LOCATION FOR THIS ROM IS HERE
Thanks.
---------------------------------------
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.
This is a port of AdamComb with pershoot kernel and some tweak for performance and usability. Thanks all the greatest Adam, Vegan, Gtab devs that make this rom possible.
Install instruction:
1. Make sure the version of your bootloader and download the corresponding rom
2. I guess most of you should already be in CWM, but if you are not. update the recovery to CWM first. Stock recovery might work but you need to do some work and CWM is much better anyway.
3. Wipe data / Factory reset. It might work well, but you will most likely have problems without doing this.
4. Using the "install from sdcard" to install and enjoy.
Features: Very fast and stable
For AdamComb features, check its original post at tabletroms.
1. Overclocked by default, max frequesy adjusted by battery level.
-- you could use setcpu to adjust the min, max frequency. The build-in script for cpu management respect the setting from setcpu
2. Tweaked internal storage & SD card read speeds
3. Annoying ads in programs are blocked
4. Calkulin's battery saving script
5. data2loop works super well
6. pre-load some useful modules at boot time, e.g. cifs, ntfs, utf8, tun.
Known Issues:
1. Anything related to hardware acceleration
2. Stock Camera App does not work.
Beta 3.3: AdamComb v0.2 + pershoot's kernel 07/25/11
[BL1.1]
http://dev-host.org/bsnx1bmz8pgy/GtabComb_b3.3_bl1.1.zip
[BL1.2]
http://dev-host.org/k0zcozlozwgi/GtabComb_b3.3_bl1.2.zip
changelog:
1. update to pershoot 26.32.43 kernel. As already confirmed by some users, this version runs faster and hopefully it also resolve the BT tether issue
2. fix the "import" bug in init.rc.
3. change the label of sdcard and mircosd to be the same as in stock version. So far I have not got any issue and it does fix the "install unsuccessful" problem for some app.
4. remove some libs that does not use in gtab to free up some space. now all the libs in pershoot kernel are available in this rom. just edit the /system/etc/init.d/05modules to add your desired lib in the modules string.
5. Thanks all you guys for testing this and digging into issues. This help me a lot to resolve some issues here. It is the effort from all of us that make this rom better and better.
Beta 3.2: AdamComb v0.2 + pershoot's kernel 07/02/11
[BL1.1]
link: http://www.mediafire.com/?sy8oxpcrdufr4e3
[BL1.2]
link: http://www.mediafire.com/?xqoo08e1m49no1d
changelog:
1. battery life improved a lot
2. overall system performance improvement.
3. partially fixed bluetooth. Not sure how much it works (pulling some of bluetooth libs from flashback)
4. remove street and office app. put back camera app (it still fc, put it here so that some power user could play on it to see if we could find a fix here)
5. fix an issue that usb connect and debug notification does not disappear when the usb is disconnected (well, it still do not work if the usb is disconnected when the system is on sleep)
6. code reorganization and clean up. make it easier for some power user to change settings and plug in scripts without the need to unpack/repack boot.img. Hopefully we could have more power user to play with the system and further improved this rom.
7. change the cpu governor to respect on cpumaster, so you can use both setcpu or cpumaster to adjust the voltage if you really do not like the cpu managed by the buildin script.
8 change bootanimation (pulling from the bootanimation collection by thinkdevoid @tabletroms)
Again, back up and wipe data and factory reset (at least wipe dalvik cache) if you want a smooth experience. Almost all unexpected FCs are related to NOT wiping data

This is the old rom that based on Roebee's BOS HoneyComb. Check Roebeet's orginal post for more detail.
Besides the greatness of BOS, this rom also have some additional features:
1. Overclocked by default (max frequesy adjusted by battery level)
2. Tweaked internal storage & SD card read speeds
3. Annoying ads in programs are blocked
4. Calkulin's battery saving script
Known Issues:
1. All the BOS issues apply here

alpha 1.6 (based on BOS_a6.0)
Note: users in other roms have mix experience on data2loop. It works very well for me, but I do not know how it will work for you. If it works well, you should expect data intesive apps (e.g. email, galary, market, etc) load much faster. If you do not know what data2loop is and its potential risk, do not flash a1.6.2. a1.6.1 already perform very well. you should wipe user data/factory reset before flashing a1.6.2 if you decide to try it.
--a1.6.2 (ext2 data2loop enabled. Very fast. Quardrant score: 3923)
http://www.mediafire.com/?5arqmra5lm082m5
--a1.6.1 (fix pc usb mount)
http://www.mediafire.com/?3d3462x5d658i6u
--a1.6.0

Just flashed this last night and had about 2 hours with it (not a lot of time at all but) I love it!!! It's my first Honeycomb ROM. Great so far... what a learning curve HC is? Just weird but I am getting the hang of it. Thanks all for your hard work!
pyro6128 said:
Loving the rom so far. Really great job, one question though. Is there a way to make it so pressing the home button takes me to the main screen instead of to the large clock? I'm probably just messing an easy setting or something, but I can't seem to find it.
Edit: For anyone interested, unless there is another way that I'm aware of, you can fix this by using titanium backup to freeze the clock in the backup/restore menu. This breaks the alarm clock though. Hope that helps, maybe someone else will have a better solution

Could you explain a bit more what is your issue?
What you mean by "large clock"?
I am on 1.6.2 and anytime I press home button I end on home screen. :-O
First HC rom here too, really nice interface improvements. Thanks to the devs for giving us this!
Is it just me, or is anyone else "missing" the menu bar at the bottom of the home screen with home, menu, back etc keys?
EDIT: Issue was resolved by wiping and reinstalling. Think it might have been caused because I launched VLT Launcher first time I booted up HC and not the default launcher.
hey guys, i just upgraded to this from vegan 5.1.1 and so far im liking it! Its worked fairly well for my games so far including plants vs zombies keep up the great work!

How does this rom handle video formats? What video player works best? Thanks

I am using UPnPlay + Rockplayer and so far it played everything I tried.
Only drawback is lack of fullscreen, but that is general HoneyComb issue:-(

When i would press home either on my gtab or on the screen, the screen would change to a large clock. If you've ever seen the desk clock feature on a droid (like when its in the dock), thats what it looked like.
I had the previous BOS version from this thread of 6/24 (?) and it ran fine. I downloaded 1.62 and it would not run - it would not go past lock screen. 1.61 did the same thing. Did full wipe before and after install, and downloaded both versions again and after install the same thing happened. I am now downloading 1.52 and will try that one.

Major wifi issue

thanks. will give it a try tonight.
never use ad-hoc and do not know it is broken. but BOS fixed it also mean this rom fix it
Click to expand...

I just updated from a1.5 to a1.6 and found out that ad-hoc networks are not supported (I get error 82). Rebooted many times but still doesn't work. This is a great problem because I cannot use wifi tethering from my android phone therefore cannot go online!!! Any help?????
Same here as Aldo.Caruso - no adhoc wifi on 1.6.1
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I noticed this rom doesn't have google talk installed. I pulled the honeycomb gtalk apk from bottle of smoke. So far it seems to work without issue. I have it attached here, just download and install like you would any other apk.
Good so far
Awsome ROM, only one problem so far for me. Facebook for Android 1.6 keeps saying I don't have a connection. While facebook with the browser works fine.
is anyone else having problems playing youtube videos (with in the youtube app) in HD? i can only play them in sd (very grainy in the large tablet screen)
But other then that excellent rom - thanks to all that are involved.

Sorry, I had never seen that thing you are talking about. Picture will help here. But if you have such an app installed, go to application management in settings and check whether it is not marked as default app for home. If yes, reset that setting.

There is no way to play HD flash videos on any HC rom AFAIK...

I decided to go back to alpha1.5 because lack of ad-hoc network support is too much an issue considering that Gtab is wifi only and tethering to my android phone is the only way to go online!!!
Anyway I just read this on the Slatedroid forum:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/18755-ad-hoc-network/
This file and method are meant for the Iconia Tab but I posted a question asking if it could work also on other tablets. Will let you know.
Could someone smarter then me try to explain why the heck you need such weird thing like ad-hoc wifi :-O
I know that Google disabled some useful things in Android, but I am sure ad-hoc was not disabled, it was simply ommited as completely obsolete and useless way of connection.
Every modern WiFi chip can act as AP, so there is no reason to use ad-hoc. Is it possible to secure it? I am not sure, but I doubt it...
Anyway, I am using my other android phone for wifi tethering and there is definitely no need for ad-hoc for wifi tethering...
But maybe I am completely dumb. In that case, please educate me a bit...
issues with 1.6.2 on GTablet UPC300-2.2
really like it, very fast and looks great. i have a few questions:
1. the camera is not working at all.
2. i have no volume control at all, it is full or off no in between.
Any one else see tjis or have a solution to fix it???
Thanks
