ICS Evervolv p6

Tweeted here and MD5 here. From a full wipe, I had a really smooth install.
Youtube is working great on wifi and works on 3g as long as I check "high quality on mobile" in the settings, otherwise I was getting the choppy video issues.
No changes to the cam and Flash still does not work as far as I can tell, ie. opening the flash app results in a blank page, and there is a blank space where the movie should be on Adobe's version checker page. No missing plugin icon, but its not functioning.
Still sound but no video on Netflix.

I just installed preview 5 two days ago and it's been running very smoothly thus far, only one reboot. Any significant changes you've noticed in p6 that would be worth wiping p5 for?

Well, you can modify what apps are shown on the lockscreen. I wish there was a changelog so you could see what was added.

Other than the baked in Exchange apk fix and the additional lock screen customization, I've not seen a great deal of difference yet. Hard to tell since they don't have changelogs for the previews. If you're happy with 5 I'd probably stick with 5 for now.
As a side note, I've had a couple of random reboots today and I had some weird issues with the launcher right after I installed Swiftkey X.
Also, really have to recommend Nova launcher. Flashed that over p6 a few hours ago and I'm loving this thing.

Yeah, loving Nova Launcher on my ICS Gnex. The ability to restore homescreens is really nice.

I guess this is a little off topic but: Anyone know why it's so difficult to get the camcorder working? I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux but is there that much difference between GB and ICS?

I'm no expert either, however I know the issue with getting the camera to work initially had to due with getting the drivers working in ICS (and there being no source for the drivers). I don't know how they got working camera drivers to begin with, but I'd only assume that the camcorder functionality needs a separate driver, or the current driver does not have camcorder support.

Whatever the source of the difficulty, a dev tweet has indicated a working camcorder in the next preview build. Glad to see progress being made, ICS has made me feel like I don't really need to spend money on an upgrade yet.

Indeed. P7 is up now and it has early camcorder support. I'm sure it will improve as time goes on, but it's a start for those who need it!

Many apps haven't received ICS compatibility updates yet since there is only one phone that officially has it. It will probably be hit and miss for a while.
That said, Netflix and Flash are both ICS compatible, but don't work properly on any of the dinc roms I've tried.

Has anyone tried getting the numpad to display when using the phone? I dialed 8228 to update roaming capabilities, when the option said press 2 I could not get the numpad up to press it.

Try downloading Ex Dialer from the market and set it as default.
This is my go-to app for AOSP and faulty dialing ROMs, see if it works for you.

Evervolv official discussion thread!

In this thread we will do the discussion of this ROM so we don't bother the developers anymore!

Sorry for this question, I am in good faith, but I want to understand if Drewis is developing this kernel alone or collaborating with the team CyanogenMod (or other). I guess the first hypotesis, but maybe they are sharing progress. Repeat, I am gratefully, it's only a curiosity

This is the discussion thread of the evervolv ROM and you're free to ask whatever you want. It's only a question and can't hur
If I'm not mistaken, texasice, drewis and the rest of the evervolv crew are working on the new kernel alone.

Can anyone post a youtube of the newest version running with HWA to see how it compares with MIUI?
I am curious to see if it's worth installing...
Really appreciate it!!

I can tell you that the latest version is running pretty smooth for me, the UI just seems faster and I can run the Chrome Beta which I couldn't even load up using MeDroid. HWA even at this early stage is giving my N1 a whole new life.

Very promising ROM but far too buggy for me to leave MIUI for it. :/
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

I flashed the P9 release yesterday (my first ICS release)... pretty smooth in general, Quadrant scores are not far behind the scores I had with CM7.1 (998 with evervolv P9 VS 1039 with CM 7.1)...
Got the same issues as stated in the "not working" section, plus the clock crashes (to set alarms) but that could be just a question of wiping cache/dalvik again.
Coming from CM, I miss all the customizations options in this ROM. Dont get me wrong, texasice did a fantastic job with the ROM and kernel development, especially in figuring out the HWA part...
But I will surely try MeDroid Remix (as soon as it's new release with HWA comes out this weekend) to see what it offers... looking at samuaz's thread, it looks a lot more customizable and coming from CM, it might be just what I'm looking for.
I will surely donate to both texasice and samuaz as well for a fantastic job done on their part, otherwise, we'd be probably stuck with Gingerbread forever.

I know plenty of much newer phones than ours that don't have a mod that can run chrome properly.
That said, if people are playing around with older (more stable?) versions and want to give some of the reboot fixes a try, look up market id com.jrummy.sysctl.config to set the memory without the new kernel or messing with scripts.
A lot of the CM stuff you might be used to is available from other programs. I mostly miss the brightness hacking and night mode filters, but I found a separate program that can make my screen dimmer to use as a night mode. The way the notification toolbar works is slightly different too. And Trebuchet is nice, but not that much different that I can tell.

I have an issue with p4 through p9.
I used trackball wake on build p3 it worked like a charm, but now when I press the trackball, pwr or vol buttons, the soft buttons are lighting but the screen remains black, I have loaded p4, p6, p7, and p9. All Roms work fine initially and appear trouble free up until the phone goes to sleep. After the phone goes to sleep the screen won't wake no matter what I do.
I have tried several SD cards, tried to turn off wifi, tried to change swap sizes from none to 256.... Not sure what else could be causing this???
Any ideas anyone?

So I got my phone running on the latest p11 finally. It works great, has been running for days, no reboots, pretty fast and seems stable so far... AND battery life has been awesome!
What I found was the CWM recovery was jacking my sd card when I partitioned it. I tried 4EXT recovery and all has been well after that.
No obvious issues other than camera preview...

Sometimes while on call the mic stops responding.. People calling me are not able to hear me..
I'm running p11 and not facing any other issues except the known one like camera preview etc ...
Anybody else facing similar issue?

*le bump*
Please do not let this topic die.

New rom is out. I had problems with wifi. No work around seem to work. I wait till the next version which I believe or hope to be stable one. Have to thank texasice, the rom is super smooth. ;-)

i think he posted a rebuilt p12 in the thread. it might be on the op page by now.

I just installed p13 today, it seems to work fine. The interface is a bit sluggish in places, for example Google Play is quite slow, and buttons don't always respond immediately. Is that normal for this rom?

Thanks, I tried the 0314-kernel and got slightly better results in the Quadrant benchmark (1004 as opposed to 937). But it didn't make a noticable difference in interface responsiveness.
It's not dreadful, but just not nearly as good as FroYo. But I'm not gonna expect any better since this is just a community work-in-progress rather than an official release.

IScreamDX Bugs List & Solutions

Hi guys! I am back with one more thread to continue the fun with you guys, and this time I have partnered with my buddy Hetunandu to test this great ROM!
Frankly I didn't thought that Doixanh would still continue developing after the huge successes of FroyoBread & GingerDX. But on May 25, 2012, he, along with recognized Team Fun, made IScreamDX and surprised us all!
FYI, this thread is showing the bugs that appeared in IScreamDX v004. So don't go off topic!
I really want to say thank you to all the Team Fun members & Doixanh for supporting us and developing this superb ROM!
................................................
WHY MUST YOU USE THIS ROM??
................................................
- Pure Ice Cream Sandwich experience! You will "SCREAM" at it!
- Light & Clean ROM!!!
- Frequent updates! Remember, it's alpha version, so expect some teeny weeny bugs!
- Very smooth scrolling!
- CM9 themes, lockscreen customizations and more now working!!
- Compatibility to apply HDPI themes without errors!!
- So, are you interested? I bet you are... try out now!!
OFFICIAL THREAD
................................................
MY GOAL!! (READ BEFORE SCROLLING DOWN)
................................................
Before you continue into the next part, please READ HERE!
Once again, my goal is to provide help to people who are having problems with bugs and installation. If you reading this now, please remember this FOREVER:
- Ask your questions here, rather than spamming our beloved IScreamDX thread!! I really pity the devs for reading stupid posts...
................................................
BUGS LIST & SOLUTIONS...
...............................................
(X) means confirmed.
(?) means not confirmed.
................................................
:: v004 Bugs ::
- There is some known bugs as listed by Doixanh: FM Radio. (X)
Solution: Wait for coming versions.
- Video Decoder is partially fixed because of the OpenMax Video Codecs, so videos can only be played perfectly on low quality. (X)
Solution: It can be fixed by installing any video player with its own video decoder, such as Mobo or MX Video Player. It's still a bit laggy and low quality, and for Youtube videos, there's no solution though.
- Speakers start to crackle when you set the volume near to the maximum volume. (X)
Solution: Don't set it too high, and reconfigure your settings in Equalizer to almost flat bass and treble.
OR
Use this SRS Fix by Rohin Zaraki.
- The stock browser is laggy. (X)
Solution: If you can't stand it, simply download it from Play Store. And, if you don't want to see the app also, delete from system/app.
- Low ram available makes it easy to miss calls and stuffs. (X)
Solution: Try using RAM Manager (if you dont mind a little little more battery drain)(and do not use SUPERCHARGER) and use Swapper.
- When the screen is off, you want to get to the homescreen button using the hardware buttons, you can feel the vibration of the phone when you press the screen but there is no display. (X)
Solution: Keep pressing the home and lock hard buttons until the display shows up.
-Applications force closes without any dialogue box. (X)
Solution: ?
- Back button does not end apps all the time. (?)
Solution: ?
- Problem in Google Play Store downloading. (X)
Solution: After that error, redownload the same app again. And when it is in processing, leave Play Store (Don't kill the app.). This will free some ram and thus download may start in some time.
- The notification window is empty sometimes after dragging down. (X)
Solution: Try exiting some apps running in background. It is caused by low RAM.

Thanks for including my Audio Fix . For the low RAM, I'd recommend using Ram Manager instead of Supercharger stability and battery reasons, y'know ? Anyways, good luck with this thread and may it have as much success as your GDX thread

Q
There is a "CM 9 Mod for naA ICS" in X10 mini
Can't we use that ?
Am going to try.
Also please enlist one more bug(or check first , if it is only with me or with the rom),
Wifi tethering isn't working for me.
So i tested and the result is we can use that but a small change is required.
Because we are taking it form a qvga phone the status bar is is not working as if we change our phones lcd density to a lower ones then also status bar FC.
And i checked that we are getting 20 MB more free ram and some new options.

nice thread but i want to report one bug - sim card isn't working with some operators (it doesn't work for me, i have O2), that's the reason why i'm back to minicm9

About the CM9 mod, we also have it in Themes&Apps.
And about the wifi tethering, you are saying setting to lower screen density, it can work?? Or is it separated bug?

[ROM][4.0.4]SGT7 Builds for the 8.9

SGT7 is the custom ROM by the guys who brought ICS/CM9 to the OG Galaxy Tab
Initially it supported only the first tab, but now we've decided to support other tablets as well, so here it is!
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*
*/
It's based on CyanogenMod 9, and will continue being to be so.
In short, it's a heavily modded CyanogenMod for tablets, fully opensource

Installation and bugs are also same as CyanogenMod 9, so read the below linked threads as well :

Since neither of us has the device personally, the builds are untested, and we rely on you, the users, to help us.

Report issues here : http://code.google.com/p/sgt7/issues/list
(Do not report device-specific issues, i.e. stuff not working on CM9, report only stuff that you saw as a setting and didn't work as expected)
Lastly, thanks to the CyanogenMod team, for all their work, and thanks to the guys who ported ics to this tab.
It's just meant to be an addition of tablet specific tweaks to CM, and we might look forward to merging this functionality into CM later on, but for now, have fun with this.

Nope, you still have to use soft decoding

Tablet Tweaks
Here's some screen shots of the some of the tablet settings and customisation settings.

Thanks for your Screenshots. What is the meaning of "eanble physical keyboard". I have a Samsung keyboard and the regular CM9 has only an english keyboard layout. But i don't have to activate something?!

That's a good question lol
I assume it's for devices with a hardware keyboard built in, if it's like the setting on phones then it toggles the hardware keyboard on and off so you can use a soft keyboard.

Very good rom. Thanks

According to Dice Player it's using HW acceleration on playback, I played a 720p video fine with no stuttering or sound problems, that was even over a G wifi network, I have Motley v2d installed and mount my film and tv folders off my media server as drives on the tab using cifs manager.
I'm not getting any crashing in the browser of gmail now after doing a couple of wipes, which is a bit odd considering I wiped everything when I first installed, so probably more a freak than anything to do with the rom.
All in all it's excellent,everything I have thrown it's way has worked flawlessly

I'll give it a try.
I might not make it my daily driver if a lot of stuff is broken, but I can certainly load it up, test it out, log any bugs, rinse, and repeat...

Also, you need to flash these GAPPS after flashing the ROM:

Sorry for the slow progress.
I got as far as the "insert coin" animation and then it just looped there. (Not a true bootloop, just stuck at that point with the animation still looping). However, I then tried to flash back to my previously working rom and saw roughly the same behavior, so I'm not completely convinced that the wipe/factory-reset option in the current recovery images is working entirely right.
So, I'm back on pure stock firmware and planning on doing a full sony/google style wipe everything including the internal "sdcard", and trying again from a known clean slate. If I can reproduce the same behavior, I'll call it a bug and send logs. If not, then hopefully I'll have better news.

Ok, thanks man.. Did you flash GAPPS after the ROM though?
If factory reset is not working, you can just wipe the /data partition. That should be enough...

There is an issie with C6902 Models. Somehow they have issues booting AOSP based roms like CM etc.
I'll flash it today. Sorry for the delay Jeroen.. I'm making a web shop for my uncle so don't have a lot of time at the moment. But today I'll flash for sure

OK, I did another install and it seems to be working this time.
Camera is non-functional, I'm sure that's no surprise.
The logs show "LLC length mis-match" repeatedly, although other roms I've run on the Z1 do the same.
So far, everything else seem to be working, but there are quite a few options to run through. I'll try and test out as many features and see if anything else pops up.
For the record, this is on a c6903

I've been living with this rom for a couple of days now, and haven't found any serious issues.
Pie menu works great. Hybrid engine seems fine with various combinations of dpi and layout. The various navigation bar and status bar tweaks seem to do what you'd expect. Same with the power toggles. Haven't delved into halo or gesture settings yet.
I've found that the camera issue is a bit more annoying than I expected, even though I wasn't planning on taking any photos. I know we're all still waiting for a real camera fix, but the "partially working but still buggy" state of the camera in a few of the other roms has been good enough for things like face unlock, qr code scans, etc. I guess you don't realize how much you use that stuff until it's gone.
The hardware info section of the settings seems to be missing a few values, although that appears to be purely cosmetic as all the hardware seems to work fine apart from the cameras. Phone, bluetooth, wifi, gps, etc. all seem fine. I haven't yet tried out some of the more esoteric hardware features (mhl, miracast, etc.)
Fwiw, Antutu is showing lower scores than the last couple of roms I've tried, but that should of course be taken with a grain of salt. (Lies, damn lies and benchmarks.)
I'll report back if anything else pops up.
