Hi everyone first post
i downloaded the ice cream sandwich for lg gt540 and for the most part its great just one or two issues with battery life and the other is with youtube not really working properly kinda laggy but the sound is fine. Any ideas would be great for a fix.
Id like to thank anybody in advance.

Thanks

Not alot you can do there system problems, if you are not running beta 5 deep sleep is not working, which is why the battery life is so bad, on beta 5 the battery only lasts about 12hrs, mike is looking into it.

Also the laggy youtube is a codec problem that mike is also trying to fix.

Just bear with it for a bit, next version shouldnt be too far away.

Also this forum seems to be loosing all its experts (if you can call us that) if you want updates on ICS, this forum on XDA is where mike posts any news, and it has a link to his blog which is where he posts his updates.

only problem i have trying this out, is that Recovery mode isn't coming up/working for me.

is there an alternative?
trying to upgrade from SwiftDroid v2.0 ASIS

Do you have recovery installed? If you still have the ASIS files on your PC connect through fastboot and find your recovery.img (i like to move it to the same location as fastboot) then type in cmd.

cd {location of fastboot.exe}

fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

Then reboot and hold the home button when you power on and it should boot into CMW recovery.

I turned the phone off to recovery mode and installed it using the zip off the sd card , it takes a few mins but it does install then reboot, let it finish. then give it 10mins then switch off and back on again and its done. Back up your numbers before you install as they dont work correctly.

Thanks for your help .but please upload a backup via clockworkmod recovery and upload to mediafire so i can also use ICS and we can share our views:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:;););):):):)

Hmm what size is your system partition? it needs to be 200 or 210 for preRC, also did you wipe data after you installed, it causes alot of problems if you don't, from bootloops to making the system really slow.
