Thanks For Cyanogen CM7.0 RC4 2.3.3

Hi all first post on this forum. Its a shame i cant post in "XPERIA X10 Android Development" as i don't have a post count of 10 "But i understand why that is" i would have liked to post thanks and report bugs in his thread for this rom.
Anyways just wanted to say thanks to jerpelea for all his work on Gingerbread 2.3.3 this rom is outstanding bar a coupe of random reboots.
This rom will be even better when he works out the Camera Photo/Video Issues anyway i got a couple of screen shots of it working on my X10i with a little but of theme tweaking.
Thanks again for all your hard work MacDaddyIRC Out.

Even i'm on post 2 so cant post in development.

Thanks a million for the CM!!

I 2nd that foreveralone. Alot better than the stock SE 2.1 i can't w8 for a Android 3.0 port for x10

I want to say Tks too

i would like to say thanks but there is an update from SE that they are bringing out the 2.3.3 gingerbread on the x10 either at the end of Q2 or start of Q3 of the year.

The point is, with the SE update we will able to use the CM mod completely using the SE kernal. Also, compared with the stock rom, the CM rom is more optimized for performance.
Or if the devs here can write a 2.3.3 kernal before SE does...that would be amazing =D

+1 I 100% agree, The SE roms do what they are supposed to but they dont perform like a modded rom.

Just in case. Its a free 6 month trial so it was free and my email got hacked and im not sure how so better to be safe than sorry.

Kaspersky is much better and its protection is better than other Mobile Av

At the end of the day I use these and test these roms and all have crashed or failed in one way or another and I'm not saying they should not be used but a stock rom is more reliable and safer to use. If there is a better rom then theres then I will use it. But I'm not risking bricking my phone for a rom that is not reliable from all bugs.

Also I am using a cyanogenmod at the moment on 2.2.1 froyo and they said the video cam works but everytime I go to use it, it FC and then can't find the cam but I still use it because it is better the the stock rom 2.1 eclair

[Q] Just upgraded to an S2!

So, at the moment I have a Desire running CM7, and I LOVE it, I simply can't ask for more. However, upgrade day arrived today and I called Orange and ordered an S2. Read a few reviews of it beforehand and the specs just blow me away.
Any one have any useful advice from going to a Desire to a Galaxy?

The SGS does not have Sense do not go looking for it .

FIRST THING when you receive your beast, flash 2.3.4 gingerbread. Excellent battery life and performance.

I'd disagree when I flashed to 2.3.4 I could almost see the battery go down as I used it and instantly flashed back to 2.3.3
However a lot of people are getting better battery life so maybe you might be lucky but personally speaking stick to stock first see how you get on and then flash a new rom.
The official 2.3.4 should be out this month

2.3.4 is not a Samsung release only a leaked test rom .
Personally i would learn before flashing and be able to recover to stock/original firmware for warranty purposes .

Went from a Desire to the SGS2 and haven't looked back since. I think it's a great move. In contrast to what you read above, I'd recommend to stay stock for a while. Learn a little about touchwiz. TW is just as smooth, maybe even smoother, than CM7 on the Desire, believe me. There is really no advice to give, they are both great devices, but you will love the SGS2.

Upgrade
Upgrade to a custom rom, they are muuuch better, keeping in mind the warranty problems and such. I´m running a custom 2.3.4 and it´s perfect.

How about the issue on gaming? Does 2.3.4 got better game support?

Is rooting the only way to remove the Orange apps?
How do I go about rooting with a Mac...

You could install an unbranded firmware to remove all the orange apps.... Kf3 is the latest official release in the uk

[Q] Let's talk about ICS

There currently couple of ICS Roms now in our forum (MIUI, Virtuous, CM9, and CG). But my question is, I am a real beginner when it comes to phone system devs, so, when I tried all the newest version of each ICS Roms, I do not feel any major differences. The camera does not work, same issues with crashing, slowness, and etc. I am not complaining about the issues and bugs, but I am wondering what's the difference between each rom? Are there any major difference? And what are we expecting next for the rom? Camera?

OK first of all MIUI ICS is much different then the other ics roms there is more customization in a much easier way and a whole different experience even thought they come from the same source I believe. Now when is comes down to the difference between virtuous and CM9 is the mods and other stuff that you won't notice I personally like virtuous it looks more professional with the mods such as the setting toggle in the notification bar its just me. CG is more of a stock experience so you won't see any mods just pure stock experience. That's the major changes I see and with the bugs I don't really know but there all being worked on with pretty much Feb so if camera doesn't work with one it won't work with the other just give him time I'm sure its coming very soon

This is where I get partially confused, i was running MIUIce Cream Sandwich (ICS v4.0.1) and have had NO issues whatsoever, the camera works, video recording works, and it is fast as all get out (3200-3300 quad consistent o/c to 1.5GHz). I was trying (and failing thus far) to find the camera framework, and hardware ID information from this ROM and inject it into one of the new ICS ROMs we have available.
what all would i need to pull from MIUIce cream sandwich in order to get a working camera in any of the other ICS roms? i know at least i would need to pull the camera .so files from system/lib, but is there any other completely necessary files that should be pulled to get this to work?
im really hoping that a dev stumbles across this and could point me in the right direction, because the camera CAN work, and i have a feeling i am really close to getting it to work, but i don't have the know how (quite yet) of the more experienced devs here.
i really wish it was as easy as my GS4G was when GB ROM leaks started surfacing, that was a 5 minute fix once the right tools came along lol

I believe that you are running a hybrid version that isn't really ics if your camera is working. This would explain why you aren't having the same problems as others running ics roms.

Good to know! Thanks for the info!

foxxx50h, were you running the now discontinued Galnet Miui release? If so, I know what you mean. Since I was using that and it was great. The only serious glitch was that the market place crashed whenever you tried to preview the pics.
If you want something like that, Dark_Sys released a newer version, but it reads a GB code and not ICS. And it's quite good and stable. Everything works too. Super great on battery.

Thanks for the info guys, and I really want to try out the ICS (or hybrid) where the cam works. Other than that, I think all current ROMs have their own forte.

Then you can buy a Gnex or wait I know I'm starting to envy the Gnex. I'm just waiting for the HTC Ville which (Should) be unveiled at MWC towards the end of this month..It should be an absolute BEAST

i've been using creamed glacier since december as a daily. two main issues on it are the camera and low mic volume - though that comes and goes.
quattro was a mess for me. once booted the setup routine would crash out and widgets would constantly crash the launcher no matter what i tried.
testing out cm9 right now. big problem is that launcher (NOVA even) crashes a lot. otherwise call volume is great. runs decent. one great thing there is that it actually contacts google and restores apps. plus i received an email from google congratulating me on my purchase of a galaxy nexus

Isn't Ville got revealed? I think it's pretty much the same as Amaze!? And Google Nexus is expensive still, so I'm thinking about Amaze.

LOL @google, that's pretty legit heih! Yeah, I really want the cam feature, and doesn't Amaze has pretty much the same spec (1.5 dual, and stuff?), so that's my next target, when I collected enough money after I paid my tuition

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!

Video of ICS LPQ Firmware running

So.. here's a video I made with screencast for those who are still waiting to flash the ROM and want to see whats in it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAzr0iYr5WQ&feature=g-upl&context=G2c496a4AUAAAAAAAAAA
I removed all of the useless apps using Anttek app manager from the market.
The widgets and wallpapers are exactly the same as the Gingerbread ROM
The bug when changing lockscreen wallpaper is still there
Edit: This is the general section, If you don't like my thread just don't comment and don't watch the video

Great.. was looking for this. thanks for the update

I am using ISC from yesterday and I think it is very useful!
I recommend to install this ROM

I'm using ICS for 2 months now, and I think this thread is ****.

Nice video, thank you for your work.

I saw that pocketnow (website) also made a video on a S II running the official ICS. But after a few minutes, I got bored. Whenever I will flash my first ICS ROM, I will make it look like stock ICS. Samsung really shouldn't have kept the same old touchwiz...

I know where you're coming from, but I think Samsung would get a lot more grief if they fundamentally changed the launcher as part of the ICS upgrade.
Which makes more sense: keep the launcher the same and annoy a relatively small number of geeks (who have the knowledge required to install a replacement launcher anyway) or change the launcher and annoy the much larger group of "regular" users who treat the device as a tool rather than as a toy?

Your right but i think they should keep the look and feel of tw but add some more options to it. So that tw by itself is more customizable and so there is even no need for new and old users to search an alternative

Have been running ICS for a while now.. and it just slow down my device.. Offical ICS = ****
Thanks for the video!
