ICS for Droid X

Besides CyanogenMod is there anyone that is porting ICS over yet?

Look at miui by ace over on rootzwiki. Running it now. Super smooth, and awesome battery.

The latest MIUI build uses the Ice Cream Sandwich framework.
CVPCS stated on his twitter that he will begin porting Ice Cream Sandwich for the Droid X.

I tried MIUI but my phone never could achieve deep sleep on the ICS test build or latest official. The apps that the battery Stats said are apps I need and these apps behave normally on CM7, so w/e, I wanted to give MIUI a try but battery life was horrible b/c of deep sleep issues.

There is a deep sleep patch in the ICS miui op. No excuses now

Lol, we all want to see ICS on the X. As for the iphone comment you geniuses know that you can use any launcher you want and make it exactly like you have it now but with all the customization of miui.... of course you knew that.

I did know that, yes. Not new to loading ROMs. FWIW the miui isn't really ics either.

No the ICS test build has a percentage of 4.0 files added into the framework. The look is simply a theme like any other. No visual or ui changes by way of ICS were included.
It will be nice if we could someday get full ics... Maybe cyanogen team will get it figured soon. I will say miui runs a whole lot better with the bit Scotland did fit into the gb framework. I don't even carry a charger to work anymore.

Looking forward to ICS on the DX as well...hopefully there will be enough support for the necessary drivers to make it fully functional.

By stating 'Stock' ICS, you would be looking for something that would only come from Mot/VZW.
Otherwise, there's the ICS MIUI project & the CM9-ICS project.
Wouldn't be expecting a stock ICS update for the X any time this century, but then again, who knows

By Stock, I'm assuming he means AOSP, or 'Stock' in the way Google designed it. That is something that absolutely will not come from Moto/VZW.
CM9 is at this point practically AOSP. It will take a lot of time for them to evaluate the enhancements that were added to CM7 above AOSP GB (Many of which have now been included as part of AOSP ICS).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Just FYI...
I used to be a HUGE CM supporter.
Still am, and am actually ON CM currently...but I flash between that an MIUI constantly.
I'll quickly vouch for MIUI here.
I had avoided it for my entire android experience. Didn't want to touch that crappy iPhone Kangerang!
I flashed it out of curiosity a few months ago...
And have been happily sitting on it as my daily driver (a lot of the time).
It's themes are gorgeous...and even simpler to flash that CM7's TMobile theme engine themes.
The lockscreens? Endless. And again, gorgeous. Super cool customization here.
ICS rip-offs. Blur rip-offs. iPhone rip-offs (blegh!).
The dialer is very blur-like...something that blur does right.
You type (T9-like) a person's name and they pop up in the menu for a quick call.
Menu+Down Volume = Screenshot
Menu+Volume Up = Temporary Full Brightness (Ever been in a sunny area and NEEDED this to see?).
The typical "pull-up" menus from android turn into drop-down menus.
The call-answer function is, again, beautiful. And allows you to quickly ignore and send an auto-text stating that you're busy.
Endless Boot-animations...again, in the theme section.
System sounds were recently added to MIUI themes...
With a touch of a button, you can change your lockscreen sound...keyboard sounds...selection sounds...instantly.
MIUI, is classy. And a very nice ROM.
Try it. If you were like me, you'll be happy you took the plunge.
*As a note, I do NOT like the MIUI launcher...
A custom one quickly fixes that.
As far as AOSP...
What do you like about it?
I mean, I don't dislike it.
But you can flash the gallery onto MIUI.
And the AOSP messenger is nothing special (I mean, it doesn't have features that others don't).
Dialer?
Again, the "blur" feature here is VERY nice.
Contacts?
These look pretty AOSP on MIUI...
And, again, the "ICS MIUI" builds that are currently out are not only not truly ICS...but aren't even official.
MIUI's Facebook page actually posted a bunch of screens this morning of what they're working on for the official release (with UI enhancements, as one user here suggested he wanted).
New Dialer was shown...along with the new app manager (ICS of their own) feature.
Don't just believe the hype like I did...
MIUI is actually pretty goddamn sweet.

I agree Miui is awesome. I'm using the Razor which I got for .01 till the Nexus is released. Then giving this to my wife. But the new ice cream from Google looks amazing. Just wait till we get into that and start chopping it up. It will be wicked.

Lidroid ICS Rom 4.0.3

Hello,
Just wanted to say my impression on Lidroid ICS ROM. I have been using almost all LPB based Roms lately. The only one that stayed longer was MODGalaxy, which is a clean stock Samsung LPB Rom.
Having read about Lidroid dev here and his mods, I read that he issues his Rom based on ICS too in his forum. So I gave it a try. Apart of some apps in Chinese language, a nice keyboard but unfortunately for Chinese language, I am really impressed for its smoothness. The rom has 14 icon mod, percentage battery, Lockapp, Root Explorer and other goodness by default.
I have removed some of the local apps with Root Explorer and inserted an ICS keyboard. Now everything runs good for me.
I am trying today and just wanted to say to brave hearts to give it a try too. You will be impressed I think or hope...

Another first impressions thread... Maybe someone should start a second impressions thread?

Come on guys. I just wanted to let you know about a Rom that is not available in this forum. This post was not about my impressions but mostly about knowing and trying a Rom outside of XDA.

Or maybe I could say my last impressions about this thread before it gets closed?

ICS -v- Task 14 /\ My Review

I have seen a lot of talk lately with people comparing the ICS development ROM's to Task 14.. I have been swapping back and forth almost daily between AOKP #23 and Task 14 Slim so here are my thoughts..
1st of all both are awesome ROM's that offer plusses and minuses depending on what each individual wants and needs.. These observations are based on MY wants and needs so opinions will vary.. The fact that Task 14, a HC 3.2 ROM even gets mentioned / compared to an ICS ROM speaks volumes about how good it is..
Things I like about AOKP #23:
--Browser hardware acceleration
--No screenshot soft key (I loathe that thing)
--ROM Control
--Ability to set # of homescreens
--Swipe to dismiss
Things I like about Task 14:
--Rock solid and stable
--Camera works for video chat
--Just as fast as ICS in many areas and faster in some
--Mini widgets
--Several awesome themes available
The AOKP is actually pretty stable for the most part and Roman and team have done an awesome job on it but remember it's a beta so there is issues and bugs at the time of this posting.. Task 14 is super rock solid and its really only limited by HC 3.2..
I honestly can't decide which I like better.. They both ROCK! I guess that's why I change between them daily..
A few AOKP issues I have is with apps and the screen.. Words with friends is a good example of this.. Also, the screen gets a little glitchy at times when viewing online images.. Nothing major and by no means a put down on AOKP...
I have had zero issues on Task 14 that are not widespread HC 3.2 related..
If you can live without the camera and are willing to experience a few minor bugs here and there then the AOKP may be for you.. If however you want rock solid with zero bugs, a working camera and a system that is just as fast then Task 14 may be for you..
These are MY thoughts and comparison of 2 kick a$$ ROM's... Thoughts and replies are welcome but please don't turn this thread into a pi$$ing match...

You're just asking for a pissing match. I'll just watch... for now...:sly:
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.

I hope not since they are both awesome ROM's...

I've tried ics, very fast and smooth without touchwiz is a godsend. There is only one 3g ics rom so I have not tried romanb's yet. 3g is a big deal to me. Other thing with isc is no proper USB/mass storage support. It does not show all files that I've downloaded from net except whatever files I transferred to tab. Camera is another big issue for me, or lack of. Video does not work also from the rom I tried. Some apps on market not supported also so cant update. That's my summary of isc. HC3.2 on the other hand is improving. I have not tried Task as again no 3g. I'm a big fan of Alterbridge and his Overcome roms. Been using his rom since the original Tab. His latest 2.3.0 soup up with pershoot kernel is more than great for me. ISC is great but for my daily usage, its not ready yet.

I do realize this is XDA but I guess I hope we all will act like adults and that this mini review will help anyone who can't choose between these 2 awesome ROM's.. Heck I'm having a hard time choosing.. The OP was made on Task 14 and this post is getting made on AOKP..

Good comparsion between the two. Personally, I use Task14 with b00sted's ICS theme. No ICS can compare to it right now, but once the camera issue is solved, ICS will be boss.
All us Task fans are hoping for a Task ICS ROM soon.
BTW, good thread OP.

A Task ICS ROM will be awesome once it comes.. I'm back on the AOKP for this morning as least..

I think we scared off the ones that would have made this a pissing match. Good.
BTW- nice OP.

He is comparing what is available today. The OP is well aware that ICS is in development but he is looking for a daily driver and was looking for others opinions on what we use.
Until ICS is official there is no way to do a 1 for 1 comparison.

Easy you try them both and yes ics is alpha but thats what is available now and is the point of this thread. I came to the same conclusion as the OP after using both kang versions. the arguably incremental improvement in smoothness does not outweigh the full functionality goodness of galaxytask
Adding Visidon even gives me face unlock features and with camera ics+ i get the camera panorama functionality on my galaxy task rom

Even though it is supposed to be alpha (since the Camera mainly does not work and there are also some minor bugs), it is quite stable for daily use as I myself use it and the best part is there are some amazing customisation options ..... literally mind blowing!

Thanks for the review. Still haven't custom rom'd it up yet.
When does the official ics come out?

i have found that the battery in the latest ICS kangs (not the one on XDA as that doesnt get updated! but the one on rootzwiki) is by far lots better than any HC.
So indeed for an alpha release ICS is looking very good compare to an already establish HC rom.
So I can only imagine how good ICS will be when SS releases it...hopefully in April..
bit OT interesting that there are no leaks yet from samfirmware!

No offense but this is just a third party website. They don't even mention the source of these rumors. Nothing has been stated by samsung so far so there's no need to cry. To be honest I don't think that 4.0.4 will be some revolutionary step forward and thus I don't understand why we shouldn't get this update.

Well I've installed Parandoid Android 1.5a and VK 5.1.2 in dual boot already, but CM/AOKP/AOSP roms don't work as flawlessly as sammy roms.
For example in CM & co roms auto brightness or gyro is broken. Also no FM (yeah, i know, ther is spirit FM...) and sensor assistance is working.

I agree, auto brightness on CM/AOSP/AOKP roms is still far away from perfect, which makes our beloved and very dark S AMOLED+ practically unusable (outdoor) on sunny days.
Also Apex, Nova, etc don't measure up to TW Launcher in terms of smoothness.

i just noticed this now people have been telling me for ages gs2 will get an official 4.0.4 rom but i guess not :/

MIUIANDROID ICS Builds are out!!!

As the title says, I happened to click an old miuiandroid.com bookmark and was surprised to find an ICS build for our HTC Vision among the downloads. After going through the posts I realized it has been out since the last week. Apparently its a port that has been added to the official list of downloads.. Kudos to our devs.
Happy flashing http://miuiandroid.com/community/
EDIT: Try it only if you understand Chinese... God forbid them for posting a half Chinese rom on the MIUI UK site(They were supposed to be the best source for English roms)

MIUI for live! Every time i am back on MIUI after using something different feels like it was big mistake
EDIT: OH! Strawmetal, i registered just to say thanks for cleaning up the rom but i couldnt because i am not experienced enough to post in dev so i will do it here: THANKS! MIUI is the best, but the cleaner/faster the better. PS havent you said something about removing sense camera because it uses unnecessary sense code? Is it something to be done or it doesnt make a difference? Thanks again, keep up the good work!

I loved miui but they stopped updating ROM for vision.
Then switched to cyanogen but really missed miui functions.
