[ROM] ICS SDK Port [WIP]

[tylerwatt12]

Tyler, I flashed your zip and booting was very slow afterwards. Eventually started bootlooping, and I had to wipe & start over. I had already done font and root tweaks so maybe the duplication screwed it up, not sure what happened.

Just out of curiosity, did you pull fonts/bootanimation from the SDK or just gather ones already posted?

Thanks for putting that together!

Thanks, I got it from the SDK, also I'm not sure what's been up with yours. Mines running fine for a few hours now. hope things straighten out for you.

This is one of the best porting jobs I have ever seen. And I was involved way back when the HTC Vogue was porting 1.1 lol Great job guys! But quick question...anyone else not able to log into their google account? I don't even get the option lol

Yeah, I went to do that and the option to log in through a Google account is not there. Thank you though for the feed back! I am just going to attempt to reflash the ROM again

GUYS!

those of you having wifi problems, I've been having them all day and have been playingwith the phone trying the forget network method all day...

instead. go to wifi, turn it on. forget your network.

on the bottom right, you'll see an advanced tab. click that shut off network notification, shut off wifi connectivity checks and change wifi disconnect policy from never to another option and then back to never. Then go back one screen and connect to your network and see if it works!

worked for me!!!

if it works gimme some props! lol it was driving me nuts all day

Why does 4g not work

This is an excerpt from my XDA Thread

With any android release (Not including Honeycomb) the software release goes as follows:
Android develops the Android Version
A PR is made on the subject usually including a new device that will run the software
Between the announcement and release of the phone the SDK is released for that new version of Android
A Dev takes apart the SDK version of the rom and starts porting things over. (you are here)
SDK builds don't usually work as an every-day phone, just something to play around with.
Sometime after the phone is released Source Code for the Android Version is released in which dev's will be able to make awesome ROM's that work well
(Fastest source release to rom build is about 1 hour) So you can expect that after Source is released Dev's will get a working ROM within hours.
... Weeks/Months Later..
Samsung releases ROM's to Carriers for OTA Updates.

We are in the stages now where he have a limited range of things we can do. It's like picking a lock instead of using a key. Requires special tools and is for professionals. 4G currently is not something that is built into this ROM yet

Hey guys. New to the forum but came here from hearing the news of this awesome work by Beezy. I have a NS4G and wondered if you think I should go ahead and get it or wait for the next build?

At first i was unable, then i discovered that you have to clear data/cache.

If you depend on 4G or NFC then no. Otherwise flash it, it's butterfly smooth
Only had few issues with G+ and Camera
Some features of Galaxy Nexus ICS are left out but it works well.

I'm also running your mod zip,
All is good, the boot animation is grainy and looks like its from a old HTC LCD lol.
Any other mods that you are working on?
Thanks

Ok thanks. I feel dumb though, what's NFC?

Ah, thank you! I kinda figured that command would be included in the .zip. That could explain alot lol

ICS Nexus S 4G [WIP] - xda-developers
It's pretty much what this thread says, only on XDA.
the bootanimation was probably videoripped. Not really sure how that was obtained. I mean if we have a Galaxy Nexus Bootanimation, why dont he have a full system dump? Anyway. I tried working on some launcher2.apk mod's but i've been busy helping people out.

Here's kind of a subtle observation. Photos of the real lockscreen hide the status bar clock. (So you don't have two clocks on the screen at once.) See attached. Is that something we can mod?

Sounds like something that would have to be fixed in the frameworks. I don't think I would be the one to do that. Whenever I mod frameworks something gets screwed up. So, i'd best stay out of that. lol

LOL Nevermind, I answered my own question. I think it's worth getting now, will try it thanks!

Sorry man i look from pages 59 to your post and dont see anything about titanium restore issues. I do have root with SU working Titanium can remove apps but not restore it just sits there forever...what weird is there used to be an apps processing mode that i cant find now.

Anyone actually restore apps via titanium yet? if so can you check preferences for me and see if apps processing mode is there for you?

I restored a couple apps with Titanium and the processing mode is AUTO, DIrect.

where can I get the stock boot animation back to flash back to it? I like the original better
