**You must be on GB to flash this rom**
GB bootloader: Unlocked
ICS bootloader: Locked
I am not responsible if you brick your phone!

If anyone does flash this, please tell me your results. Based on the kernel it should work.
Feedback is appreciated!

I'll test it. One thing though how can I get that recovery menu because its like I'm locked out of it. And what all requirements are needed

 

[Connorh333]

You have to be on GB
You need to install CWM recovery. (either through Rom Manager or The CWM installer.)
You must be rooted. (obviously...)
To get into recovery press volume down and the power button at the same time until you get to the "factory reset" screen. This will not actually factory reset your phone btw. Follow the instructions on the screen and it will boot you into recovery. (I think you press the power button twice?)
That's all you need.

**Important**
Do not install CWM Touch through Rom Manager. You WILL brick your phone.
Also, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache through CWM.

Edit: you can also boot into recovery by any rebooter.

I put it back to GB and I'm taking it links were broken my calendar crap, WiFi, and something else didn't work. And I couldn't find another GB to recover so for now I'm sitting with ICS. By the way I looked threw the files of your ROM and it looked just like ICS without the bloatware

 

[Connorh333]

I cant believe it actually worked!
Thanks so much for flashing it. I'll try to fix the wifi and calender soon. I only made this rom so people could use ICS without a locked bootloader.
You can still boot into CWM recovery right?
You can flash GB back if you use the unbrick guide.
Again, please mess with it and tell me things that work and don't work.
I'am going to flash it now too.

Beta 2 is coming with fixes.

just enters fastboot mode after installing, tried to force it to continue by use fastboot continue from the sdk, but it just gives me an invaled boot image header error.

 

[Connorh333]

Sorry. Can you still get into download mode?
Edit: it worked fro soldier2009. There must be something wrong. I am flashing it now to see what I can do.

it's possible the file didn't transfer to the SD card correctly, I downloaded it from my chromebook to my phone

 

[Connorh333]

I'm sorry that happened though. Were you able to unbrick?
shit it happened to me to haha

 

[Connorh333]

soldier20089 do you still have the beta 1? I deleted it by accident. If you do can you upload it

I grabbed a copy before it poofed. I'm uploading it now. Quick question, where did you get the kernel for this? If there is source code, I'd like to see it so I can possibly use it in the CM10 rom for the lucid.

 

[Connorh333]

I just used the stock ics boot.img. No custom kernel. sorry.

I haven't had a chance to take the boot.img apart yet, but I'm curious how you got it to boot. I could never get the stock ICS kernel to boot without the secure boot chain on the Spectrum.

 

[Connorh333]

I honestly have no idea. It booted for one person but didn't for like 2 people. It just puts me into fastboot mode. How do you extract a Boot.img anyway? Power Iso says it's a corrupt file

After reading more closely, I don't think ics booted for soldier, I think he nay have flashed back to GB without wiping data and the WiFi etc problems were from messed up os files.

 

[soldier2009]

Yea sorry for the delay. I just opened up your file and browsed threw it and noticed no bloatware I did that myself before I'm still working on one myself. I spent the passed few days working on correcting the os files on my lucid from when it was bricked. But I do have your file on my lab top still. I'll upload it to drop box and paste the link for you.

 

[soldier2009]

The kernel is in a nice tight vault. And its going to be almost impossible to get ahold of one of the writers to tell you how to crack it

You need linux and abootimg (README - abootimg in AC100 - Gitorious ). Use abootimg to extract the zImage (kernel) and Initrd (ramdisk), then use the commands in this (HOWTO: Unpack, Edit, and Re-Pack Boot Images - Android Wiki) to unpack the ramdisk, make changes, and repack it. Then use abootimg to re-insert the ramdisk back into the full boot image. The problem is that the zImage (kernel) has a driver (think efuse from Motorola) that checks the boot chain, and if it's missing the secure boot, the kernel will not load.

Okay. Thanks but...
I have a stupid question.
Would it work on Ubuntu 12.04

It should. Build abootimg from the source code and the rest of the stuff is already build into Ubuntu. I run 10.10 with no issues and I'm working on setting up a 12.04 virtual image. I just hate running Unity, but they turned off the update servers for 10 and below.
