Since Google doesn't want to give us BlindType, I guess the closest you can get is from TouchPal. And it's free! I'm trying it...

I was waiting for blindtype for ages since I first saw the demo. How is this similar? Is it as intelligent also?

If you watch the demo video, it has the similar feature like BlindType, which you are typing on a blank (designated) area. Haven't tested how good it is yet.

CM9 is really great. Performance really good, even compared with CM7. In fact, it's better than CM7 so far.

Only minor glitch on camera when changing picture resolution would FC the camera. No radio app though. Everything else seems working fine so far.

Really really shiok! Stupid Sammy for not releasing ICS for SGS, which actually improves the performance overall.

Oh ya, I am using Live Wallpaper too.

Any quick tips on getting my battery mod done for CM9 teamhacksung ROM?

Built-in feature for displaying battery percentage doesn't work. sad.gif

EDIT: TS, can kindly remove the wipe batterystat.bin trick, which was proven to be an urban legend by a statement done by 1 of the Android developer from Google?

Market doesn't recognise CM9 as ICS device, can't install Chrome browser. sad.gif

Anyone of you facing problem on CM9 when doing these?

1) Upload video to Youtube failed. Never success before.

2) Facebook upload photo progress never remove from notification drop down. Have to reboot to clear that.

Were these documented by Teamhacksung?

How you all managed to get ICSSGS working ah? I flashed twice, stuck at Samsung GT-I9000 screen.

First was recovery flash from CM7. 2nd time I flashed to stock XXJVT and CWM it, then recovery flash again.

Ended up now I'm on CM9. Not that I'm complaining. Feature sets by CM9 are just unbeatable.

This is what i did..
1) Flash Stock XXJVU [via odin]
2) Run phone & Turn it off back & went back to Download Mode
3) Flash CF-Root Kernel [via odin] (just to get CWM)
4) Run phone & reboot into CWM
5) Wipe data/factory reset [via cwm]
6) Wipe cache partition [via cwm]
7) Flash ICSSGS [via cwm]
8) Run phone & reboot into CWM
9) Flash Semaphore Kernel [via cwm]
10) Done..

Then I guess the secret lies in XXJVU ROM. biggrin.gif

Your Samsung has forsaken us, there's no ICS for SGS, remember?

So we are left with AOSP ROM, which I think it's even better.

AOSP ROM no 3G video calling sad.gif the only thing good about touchwiz is the 3G video calling hack that Samsung developed.
*
I thought 3G Video Call (3GVC) was important too, until I realised there are way too many people can't be bothered with 3GVC anymore.

I could get better video call quality over 3G/wifi network via GTalk video call. Best of all, your peer can just ride on wifi/wired network to chat with you.

Another thing was the FM radio, which I have to give up. Giving up FM Radio is tougher than 3GVC as I used it daily when I go to work. So had to resort to radio streaming, which is not too bad either.

But in exchange for better phone experience, we have just turned our phone into ... God forbids... (troll alert) an iPhone. tongue.gif

Try factory reset after failing to boot? Weird, never encounter problems flashing hmm.gif

I did all reset/clearing before zip flashing to ICSSGS. But still stuck at the boot screen. And you know what was worse than this? I can't even enter recovery mode anymore. So can't do another reset after initial flashing to ICSSGS. I think the secret still lies in XXJVU, which I didn't bother to try to download.

Nothing beats having power bar widget on notification dropdown that CM9 offers. Can't live without it. Be grateful to Sammy for putting it in TouchWiz. laugh.gif

Compared Teamhacksung, ICSSGS, CNA and AOKP and decided to go CNA instead smile.gif  ICSSGS and Teamhacksung are nice too
*
CNA is which ROM? Never heard of it.

How are the features? Are everything working fine?

My concern are:
- FM Radio
- 3G video call
- Camera (still and video with full features. Will FC like Teamhacksung's when change still's resolution?)
- Battery % display (Ths one doesn't work)

Enjoying my Ths CM9 very much now, lazy to try. In fact, it's so much more better than CM7 that I can finally recommend this phone to my friends! rclxms.gif

QUOTE(ken2291 @ Feb 24 2012, 10:34 AM)
CNA = CodenameAndroid.  It's a rom from Galaxy Nexus, people port it over.  Currently there are 2 devs working on 2 separate ports of it.  One is Dax from SG and another be18 (check my siggy)

Fine to me.  I like the customisations under CodenameAndroid. No camera FC like u said.. And we can change most of the things built-in too.  Like putting the dropdown menu in the notification bar (not there on default, just have to tick a setting).  And changing battery to %, small %, circular is also possible.  Shortcuts on lockscreen can be customised too.. Check the rom's thread smile.gif

Tempting...

Maybe later, gotta settle my GNex first. lol

On my ROM, when I upload photo to FB, the progress status stay permanent in the notification area. Sometimes duplicated progress status. And they can't be removed from the notification area. Solution is to reboot.

Anyone faced similar issue on other ICS ROM?

Seems like not receiving anything. hmm.gif

At least now it doesn't kill off my sound. On previous setting, after I run the app, my music player has no sound output anymore. Forced to reboot to fix it.

Any further advice?

hey bro.
managed to fix it by wiping both cache and dalvik. will try further.

still getting used to it. ics is so much diff then gb. its like a new phone!

but the -ve points are
- no 1080p recording
- no hacked camera wt power button (is this possible?)
- my bluetooth fully not working (?) managed to paired with pc, but can receive files certain files eg apk. how to tweak this?

haven try gps yet. btw, how to sync fb and how to put 2 contacts as a single 1 (forgotten the correct term)?
*
I think 1080p video recording is the hardware limitation. Is there any ROM that allows it on SGS?

To sync FB, install FB and login. You should be prompted for the sync. Then you might want to "join" your contacts. It doesn't join automatically. But this time you are not limited to just 5 contacts join.

Hi harddisk,

hmm.. mb i rmbr salah? in stock rom, there is option recording of 1080p, 720p and a few right (non-big mem)

It's just up to 720p for our camera. Hardware limited. smile.gif

QUOTE(cradle0fFilth @ Feb 27 2012, 09:25 AM)
1 more thing. can we turn off the focus and camera shutter sound? its annoying. lol. Just realized that so far there is no camera hack for ics (according to the icssgs thread). there is very little option in this ics camera. prefer samsung one
Never seen the option to off sound for camera. Camera sound off hack was available back in CM7. Somehow, CM9 doesn't include it. Maybe developers just like the new shutter sound by ICS? laugh.gif
