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...

pretty sure most of the ics roms in the development (not original) section are based on this anyway.

OMG!
I'm using the super secret XXMPF Final beta alpha release of ICS 4.0.4 with full stock Samsung ICS experience and 18 button mod + Automatic snap of desktop mod + Super Turbo Speed script v16.9! It's smooth like a baby's bottom and makes my SGS2 auto-upgradable to SGS3 by OTA! You guys'll love it once you install it!

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:

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.

How can you compare Android 4.0 (No official release and by the way in Alpha state) and Android 3.2?

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!

Agree as well... ICS is not mind blowing and is only slightly snappier than Taks 14 in some areas..

Why Atrix developers doesn't seem like to dev directly from ICS AOSP?

Usually, (for other devices of course), ICS roms that are developed from AOSP tend to be more stable, less buggy and better than CM9 roms, so im kind of curious why Atrix developers have decided to work on CM9, even thought its far from complete?
Just a question.

I'm not 100% but I think the developers need something from the moto/nvidia which is why the rom was ported from the photon and not just built From the ground up .

NVidia won't release the drivers and sources required to accomplish this, so a 1/2 ass port is all that can be done at the moment. This has nothing to do with the devs. They are giving us the best they can with what they have right now.

Not saying that they arent working hard, just asking why they choosing CM9 instead of AOSP 4.0, just a simple question. And ponting out that builds based on AOSP seems to be more solid and stable than builds based on CM9, mostly because CM9 itself its still not from complete

Also, IIRC, they're borrowing heavily from CM7 for our current CM9 builds. I believe we'll see more options when we finally get official source and drivers in Q3.

Please read the above before commenting again! If you had read it the first time you would not have posted what you did below!.............Or maybe you still would have, who knows!!! You can program all you want for an AOSP ROM, but without device specific drivers you can never optimize for any one device. Simple as this, for any ICS on the Atrix, whether AOSP, CM9, MIUI, or whatever, you still need device drivers. Try running your NVidia graphics card in your computer without a driver................yeah, see what I mean (but then again you might like 640 x 480!)!

Woops, i forgot to tell that i was refering to other devices AOSP 4.0 ROMS, but if you are as inteligent as you seems to be, you should have known that because the Atrix actually doesn't have any rom coded from AOPS 4.0, at least on this forum.
The roms i was refering to was ICS Passion and ICS Euforia, both made by the same developer, Neobuddy, made for the Samsung Vibrant, a 1ghz phone, with 512mb for ram, without official drivrrs released, and the rom is more stable than the current Atrix ICS builds (no offend, i recongnize the guys are doing a great job making it happen), and almost as smooth as a the builds, and that phone is in a similar condition driver-related, that its, without any drivers being released. Thats why my doubt came, why the developers chiosed CM9 as a base, even thought it isnt really stable yet, and not completed, and why builds made from AOSP 4.0 tend to be more stable?

And that's why I asked you to link them. You are comparing AOSP ROM's on other devices to CM9 on other devices. Because you see something run more smoothly on one device, does not directly mean it will run smoothly on another device. In any event, your question was answered in as far as there are drivers and source that the devs do not have in order to make any ICS based ROM's work optimally on the Atrix. If I had to hazard a guess as to why the devs are using CM9 as a base, it would be because the groundwork has been laid for them. The Atrix doesn't have an army of devs, so we get a smaller mix of options with ROM's.

Froyo (CM6) on Nexus S

Let me first start by saying the rom doesnt boot completely. It boots all the way to when the screen dims and vibrates, when it is about to display lockscreen.. Logcat shows everything installing and starting correctly.. It wasn't hard to get to this stage, so it gave me a little bit of confidence in this awesome project.. Froyo was my favorite android version, as it was a huge upgrade for my old hero.
I thought it would be hilarious to release cm6 for the nexus s, heck I would have run it for the rest of my nexus's lifetime.
So, let me know what you guys think.. keep digging around to get it booting or give up because its old news..
If anyone wants to help for just a fun proof of concept project, or just to poke around, lemme know, the more the merrier
That is all. Waste of a thread, but that is what the general section is for.

LOL in this time and age running froyo is like going back to xp from windows 7. But yeah as a proof of concept its kind of interesting;-) What would be really interesting, is running gingerbread on the gnx

Oh wow.... I don't even know what to say.....
I would absolutely try this out

I'd rock cm6 on my nexus. For "old times sake" it's like banging your ex.

They are incompatibility. Because Nexus S is the first Gingerbread-device, Androi 2.3.0 is the lowest compatibly OS version.
You also can't install System V(AT&T's Unix system since about 1970) in your computer.

Yes this is true, but the point is that its almost booting.. I knew this from the start, it will require back porting drivers and probably a few kernel edits, but it may be possible.. in the end its just Linux running on a few upgraded drivers and a few kernel changes..

Not without doing some back porting.
This is much easier to do from Gingerbread back to Froyo though, since you are building something to run on the same hardware and software stack (ARM and Android 2.x). The most difficult part would be getting drivers to work, but just as older drivers are made to work on new OS versions with shims and other tricks, in theory this is possible, if not a lot of work.
I'm not sure what will be gained though. Gingerbread didn't seem like a significant resource drain over Froyo, so I can't imagine there are any speed/power gains.

In all seriousness though, froyo would make a great ROM. and It should in theory be faster than GB.

Yeah, its funny because I tried porting a froyo touchwiz rom from the og epic, and it got to pretty much the same place when booting haha.. hopefully I can get this working, along with other variations of froyo, that would be the greatest achievement for me in any android related stuff.

[Poll] Best Rom for the Xoom

Receiving a used Xoom soon and was reading many many forums on Xoom roms and want to see what people are using. I would like ICS of course, not really concerned with overclocking. I run AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus and never have looked back. But not sure the best route for the Xoom.. I know ROMS are personal preference but still want to get an idea to see who's leading the pack and packing most of the latest features and addons.
Sorry if I missed any roms.
Thanks Guys

CM is also one of the most popular roms, but I prefer EOS or the Bugless Beast ROM.
However the latter has come to a standstill due to some personal issues of the developer, still: it runs amazingly smooth without need to over clock!
All the other roms are okay, I guess, but I can't help you with those
Just my two cents ;-)

AOKP for me I have it on my Galaxy nexus

Thats what I run on my GNex too but didnt see many posts on the Xoom so wasnt sure if it was up to par as the GNex version.

AOKP has been my daily on the Xoom for a month or two now, runs like a dream.

I have been running AOKP on my XOOM for some time now. I really like all the extra features. However, I think that what the Xoom really lacks in development is a Kernel. I have been spoiled with Faux123 on my Galaxy Nexus. But the kernels I have been using on the XOOM have been outdated. Anyone have a kernel recommendation?

AOKP ships with stock kernel right? EOS and Rogue are usually on top of keeping their kernels up to date. EOS kernel is tiamat and there's a thread somewhere around here for it and Rogue.
Edit: Better yet get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Its GooMamager. Browse files and under kernels there's are a ton that claim "Compatibility". I think the ICS kernel is very unified. Goomanager will also notify you when your ROM is updated,and as long as you have an open script recovery, Goo will download the Update and make a backup in Recovery (with rename prior to backup) wipe/wipe cache and install new update then reboot almost like an ota. So easy now. Also notifies when gapps updates. I guess its the new ROM Manager.
Anyways at the bottom of the kernel list is Rogue with what looks like an up to date kernel.

EOS team rom for sure without doubt. Which xoom model?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that any of ROMs here would work with Xoom Family Edition.

Yes. As far as I know, mz505 can be rooted. But these roms were not tested with it.
You can still root it. Also try to flash the rom of mz604 on it from team EOS since it is wifi only. Might work. Or just enjoy a rooted device.

EOS doesn't have theme chooser, tho, right? I'm running stock non-rooted and love it. Idk why but I just enjoy being stock. The only reason I'd root is that Holo Orange theme... it looks sick!

You're screwed.
There are no roms to that work on the Xoom Family Edition, or the Xoom 2 family.

Why is that? different file structure, kernel, etc.

Is the demand not there for the dev's to work on it? Are they roms in progress?
