Root [Rom]Ice Cream Sandwich

O'k. I thought I would start this thread because of all the ICS talk scattered around other threads. I figured we could get it all in one place.

firstEncounter is doing some amazing work, with the help of other teams of course, on this Rom and it would be worth your while to keep track of his progress. Keep in mind this is beta so flasher beware!

very, very nice...will definitely be keeping an eye on this as development continues...

oh and btw...your link is partially FUBAR'd...

cougar214 · Dec 18, 2011

fixed the link in op. sorry. I'm not dislexic but my fingers are....

I'm really really hoping the progress on this continues smoothly and it doesn't get rearended like MIUI ICS did.

Im not up for any more beta testing but once this gets sorted out im in for sure. Seems like just a few days ago the word was the radio didnt work at all. Huge progress! wOOt!!!

mrstealthusmc · Dec 18, 2011

I actually installed it yesterday and was very impressed. Ran super smooth, although some things like Google talk and the camera don't work. Switching from 3g to wifi is sketchy at times. Not too sure about the launcher though would need to get used to it I guess. Over all though its amazing that ics is even on the dx. Once some more bugs get worked put I will definitely use as me daily driver. (I switched back to cm7gb this morning.)

I tried it this afternoon and for a beta it's some very impressive work! Has bugs, which the developer notes in his initial post. He's also VERY helpful on posts and bug notices in the Rootzwiki thread. I had to uninstall cause I lost WiFi and 3G and couldn't get them back. But I will continue to watch this build closely. It looks like one of our best chances at ICS on the DX.

cougar214 · Dec 20, 2011

Yeah but it looks cool....lol...but then again yer not chinese either....or are you?

Coolguy71261 · Dec 20, 2011

Will battery life be better on ics than GB?

cougar214 · Dec 20, 2011

I've been testing this Rom for 2 days now and the battery life so far is fantastic. Unlike other 2nd init Roms this one doesn't drain your battery just sitting there doing nothing.

Really,I am on defx pt 2 and it's not killing my battery at a fast pace. Have you compared the two?

Xelios · Dec 20, 2011

So, I wanna install this. I have CM7GB, can I just install this right over? I'm on 2.3.4. I didnt notice any directions (I also didnt look too hard either

), so is that it? If so, I'm doing it tonight.

You should be able flash right over. That's what I did. I wiped Cache, Dalvik Cache, and did a full system wipe just to be safe. Loaded up just fine, first boot took a few minutes. The ROM is fast and very stable I like it a whole lot. It would be tough to go back to a GB ROM at this point.

Xelios · Dec 20, 2011

Cool, thanks. I just installed it. Honestly, I'm loving it. Didn't even bother wiping anything, just installed it right over. One thing though, i can't get into the market. The app just crashes after launching it. I assume i need to instal the gapps from the thread but i can't figure it how to get into recovery. Other than that, it's pretty sweet if you can stand all the blue.

Is the camera still broken on this ROM?

Yeah, you have to install the Gapps from the thread, it's made specifically for ICS. During initial boot when the LED on the phone turns blue hit volume down, it will take you to a boot menu. Use the volume keys to manuver and power to select. The menu should give you the option to go to CWR or stock recovery.

Yes camera, MMS, I think GPS for many, GTalk, as well as some other things are currently not working. But for it to come this far this quickly is quite impressive, not to mention the dev is only 16.

I'll probably try this after the holidays. Hopefully he'll have some more parts working by then.

in2uition · Dec 20, 2011

I moved on to the Galaxy Nexus, but I'm definitely going to flash this on my DX. I can use it as a nice PMP lol

You need to flash the gapps to fix that problem. You may still experiance problems though because you were supposed to flash the Rom and gapps in the same cwr session.

If you continue to have allot of problems you may have to sbf back to 602 and start fresh. But you can try my method first which is to wipe data, format system, data, dalvic, cache, flash gapps again, and wipe data one more time.

Coolguy I wasn't on that build very long and to be honest i didn't pay attention to the battery drain. I got focused on this sweet thing that is ICS....lol

Xelios · Dec 21, 2011

I'm kind of hoping this is like all the other ROMs where like the first day it drains battery like hell and then smoothens out after that. Because my battery only lasted like 8 hours yesterday, compared to the 30ish I could get from CM7GB. But this ROM is very nice, and I especially love the easy access to the settings from the pulldown bar. And yeah that was stupid of me to think the old GApps would work haha.
