Hi I'm new,

which one is better? Darkyy or Docs's rom? what is ICS?

Chill

Ken posted the link to CM9 build from teamhacksung:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593

Looks promising

It will be, they are from teamhacksung.

in other news, I have successfully flashed ice cream sandwich. It totally a beauty!

It seems good enough to be my daily rom. If fm radio, bluetooth headset, video recording is important, just do a nandroid restore.

Otherwise, it is a major improvement over gingerbread. I'll be testing its battery life.

Install (coming from cm7 nightlies)
- wipe everything
- I had to flash the rom twice.
- reboot
- flash gapps

short review:
- first loop of boot animation was laggy, subsequent animation was smooth
- almost all ui transition are smooth, screen rotation gives a nice animation. some stuttering are present.
- no file manager, so either include a file manager apk into the .zip file or download from the market.
- no idea which note taking app widget which works with ICS
- tried restoring some apps from TB, doesn't work. need to update
- not all live wallpapers are included
- not a cyanogenmod, so no extra things like call blacklist and others


More info please. What are the things that resetted actually?

of course, since everything is wiped in the first step. latest TB restores my apps+data without a problem, except for plants vs zombies.

If you have fast internet connection, you can let google to automatically download all the apps (but not data I think) for you.

Don't use galnet's. Use either onecosmic or pawitp's

Installing teamhacksung's from XXJVT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...9&postcount=480

- flash Semaphore_1.8.0 kernel using Odin or Heimdall.
- Do a Nandroid backup (optional) and backup your data via Titanium Backup.
- copy your internal SD card to the PC
- do a factory reset: dial *2767*3855# ( your internal SDcard will be wiped).
- copy the zip files (Build and Gapps) onto your internal SDcard.
- turn off your phone and go to recovery via 3 button combo.
- wipe data/ factory reset and wipe cache.
- flash the Build zip file. Your phone will reboot.
- After boot go to recovery via long power menu.
- flash the Gapps zip file.
- go to advanced menu and select fix permissions.
- select reboot system now.
- after booting setup your Google account.
- grab Titanium Backup (Pro) from Market.
- open TB., then > menu > preferences > tick "Enable Dropbox" and "Enable encryption" and "Migrate system data".
- close/open TB.
- hit "Sync to Dropbox now" (Supposed, you have uploaded/saved your data on your Dropbox account).
- Your data will be downloaded from Dropbox account onto your internal SDcard.
- After downloading apps. untick "Enable Dropbox".
- close/open TB.
- restore your data.
That's all.

To poison some more

In the gapps for pawitp's ics, the updater-script uses this to mount and unmount system:


I suggest you can include that in your tweak so that users do not have to mount both /system and /data manually.


Missing from the router? Then you have to login into your router, probably typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 from your firefox. Then add the phone's MAC address into the setting.

Can't help with kies, but I can give you alternatives:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/104859864159185...sts/Zctj3ieAe27

I prefer swiftkey too. But ics keyboard isn't so bad.

1. Do you know your phone's MAC address? Go to wifi settings, press menu to go to advanced menu. write this down.

2. On your computer
- find the address bar where you type google.com on your firefox/chrome/ie
- type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
- you will be prompted to the router's welcome screen to enter username and password
- username is usually admin
- password, I don't know, you should ask someone in the house or the person who set up the internet in your home.

3. Once you are inside the router's settings, you can add the phone's mac address.


Since the router is resetted, try "admin" as the password (or hit continue as there could be no password!) Try these websites for default passwords:

Build 4 is out an hour ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593

Known Issues
The UI is a little bit laggy (due to lack of hardware composition).
Video recording does not work.
Video playback is not hardware-accelerated.
The front camera produces distorted preview.
Photo taking does not work with the front camera.
Some camera options FC. (The camera is a temporary hack, when the Nexus S ICS source is released, there will be a proper fix.)
Movie Studio does not work.
FM Radio does not work.
USB Tethering on Windows requires the user go to to driver update and manually select the RNDIS driver.
Can select widget on launcher without being on the widget screen *
Persistent "Removed SD card" message on external sd card removal.
Download icon gets stuck in phone signal.
Phone unnecessarily gets data connection on device encryption password enter screen.
WiFi automatically turns on after quitting airplane mode if WiFi was used during airplane mode.
WiFi DNS does not update properly (unverified)
Data Roaming is enabled by default
Alarm Icon does not come up on boot (unverified)
Screen appearing for a split second after screen off animation

I disagree. tegra2, even our hummingbird chip is way more than capable to perform smoothly. It is the android OS at fault here. ICS will provide tremendous improvement over gingerbread - though not completely.

Moreover, there will be very few apps that will utilize all 4 cores. I predict dual core A15 chip will rule the mobile market in 2012 since it is a lot faster than current A9 architecture.

ICS brings full hardware acceleration and hardware composition support. (For real! not just the stock browser)


- nvidia will beg to differ. synthetic benchmark may not mirror real-world performance. CPU is also another important metric to a game's performance.


- which one, the galaxy nexus?

The kernel: Handles wifi and fm radio
The modem/baseband: Controls mobile data, phone calls and gps

So changing modem won't affect wifi performance. Maybe try another kernel?

Added on December 11, 2011, 4:52 pmIt is a well known Hello Hello Bug or HHB for short

It affects all samsung's and cyanogenmid rom. AFAIK, no developers can pinpoint where the problem is.

What about the video encoding? Audio/video out of sync?

This post has been edited by gmhafiz: Dec 11 2011, 04:52 PM

Nokia's audio to rca cable works too. If you can find one in lowyat, please tell us. I've searched and asked the people there but those salesmen have no idea what it is.

I managed to to play angry birds on the tv but IIRC, you have to switch the red and the yellow cable on connecting the cables to the tv.

Read the OP?

like harddisk. I still prefer reader.google.com to keep up with all the posts in the sites I always visit. I only use currents to subscribe to websites I don't normally visit - my new magazine reader

samsung only release changelog for official version, not the leaked ones

Congratulations! This Saturday is my turn

I also think it won't be released. It's past 18 months since the launch of Galaxy S. According to google's new policy, samsung has no obligation to update it.

It already has, build 10 ICS port is totally worth it! All the major hurdles have been overcome thanks to the nexus s ics source code. What's left are small bugs which I sure will be ironed out.

Try beautiful widget, free from www.getjar.com

No permanent solution. Delete cache and restart. If it still persists, I'll give a longer method.

Nice! Also, I noticed there are a lot of new ROMs/kernels/goodies since I last visited. haha

It is highly likely that your /datadata partition is full. CM9 should be able to automatically delete unnecessary from that partition but when it fails or the app isn't smartly programmed, you'll get that error. Type the following code to see if your /datadata partition is indeed full:

If yes, use one of the following methods, A/B/C


Method A:
(The lazy method but may slow down the phone)
1. Go to terminal, type

Actually, you'll have to do method B/C first. In this method, you'll never get the warning error but your phone will slow down over time. Not recommended.


Method B: You'll understand what's going on - but longer to get done
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...1#post20166901)

How to remove the pesky low space warning:
1. See what's inside your /datadata partition
Code:

Make a list of things that occupy more than 1MB

2. Remove it
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Respective apps
- Clear data

3. Go back to terminal emulator
Code:

You'll reclaim plenty of free space on /datadata
As mentioned by pawitp, moving certain large apps/games to internal sdcard can also reduces space occupied by /datadata partition. I moved plant vs zombies and I see an increase in free space.

From 776kb of free space, I managed to get 86MB free space. The warning notification no longer appears.


Method C - Recommended. Fastest to remove your problem.
1. Reboot to CWM
2. Navigate to "Mounts and Storage"
3. Select format /datadata

Done

addon: remind me to change my avatar. dah kahwin cannot put Rukia animated gif anymore haha

then try formatting it in the cwm. that error shouldn't happen

the HHB seems to affect all samsung rom as well as cyanogenmod rom. What kind of bugs do you experience when dialing?
