[ROM][WIP][ANDROID 4.0][ICS] ICS Sandwich SDK Port [11/2/11]] - Epic 4G Android Development

--ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IS IN NO WAY MY FAULT--
--MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE HAND IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG--
So since Ice Cream Sandwich just came out and alot of people(including me) don't want to wait for it, I decided to go ahead and try to port it from the resources I have. This is in no way a daily rom. ScreenShots attached. Right now all you can do is unlock it and pull up menus. You might be able to get into settings if you are lucky, but yea.
WORKS:
-The keyboard but the mappings are off
-The menu and back button
-Screen off on
DOESN'T WORK:
-Touchscreen
-Anything that wasn't listed above

Please feel free if you have comments, suggestions, or if you would like to help in any way to pm me.
Thank you!

Dang that was quick. Hope it does you well I haven't had time to mess with it cus its my daily phone so yea.

Any idea when Wimax will work? /jk
Thanks, should be an awesome ride!

Sorry, but I must ask. Does the touchscreen and phone part work?
Also, what kernel is this running?

Whoa! I wasn't half expecting the Epic would get any of this, at least not yet. Here's hoping it gets the treatment I've seen on the Nexus ICS SDK. Those videos get better and better.

This is really good news. I take it as they make more progress with Cyanogenmod they will make progress with this Rom too right? I am all out of thanks today expect a thank you later on tonight when I have more thanks to share. Great news and thank you again for all of your hard work.
I am going to go to Lucky's and buy me an ICS right now and buy myself a gingerbread lattie at starbucks. Then later when you get more things fixed with this rom I will flash this bad boy. Cyanogenmod should work on this after they are done with the gingerbread port.

Ahh unfortunately they won't. Most major devs and developer projects don't go after SDK ports not just ours in specific, they're too broken to fully benefit anything as of now but in the future with source it could prove beneficial. But I'm with you on that though.
@Xboxfanj and Allmasteraa: You guys have 14 key different keylayout files within \system\usr\keylayout and none of them wholely match the Epic save for two perhaps. So your key placing issues can lie within that. Also, in most cases the files within \system\usr\keychars are .kcm.bin in most of the instances I've seen them and edited them, the ones lying within this build are just .kcm so that can be an issue also but a fix too. I just thought I could let you know so it could be of some help to you. Not going to flash this just yet, or anything for that matter since I've a need for some stability, but just wanted to help where I thought I may be able to.

[DEV] Android Revolution HD Alpha[unreleased]

Okay, so first thing first, the kitchen is awesome. I'm surprised no one else has jumped onto it.
Secondly, I know I have to fix up other ROMs to pure awesomeness, but school is buttraping me and I barely have time to do anything that actually requires thinking.
That all being said, I want to launch my own open beta team. I don't have all the time to test everything and fix everything on my own. As part of the beta team, you can test and even send in fixes for the ROM. Sadly I have to depend on others ATM, but school is soon coming to a close and it gets terrible at this time.
Now with the good stuff
This ROM is another port, it's a modified version of Sense 2.1. Came from the Desire HD. Still cooking right now, but I'll be out with it in a few moments (assuming it works; if it doesn't, we try a new ROM. )
It's coming soon, so be patient! And if you'd like to beta test, help, drop hints, or anything, just say so, all help is appreciated
Thanks bro, can't wait for that to drop... Will the pics be compressed in this ROM?

Well I can't release it yet :x it doesn't boot.. If I release it, I'd be making your devices a shiny fixable paperweight (although this does make a good paperweight).. I can't remember where i had even seen init.glacier.ro .. the kitchen does most of the work, but getting it to boot is my job.. once it at least boots, I'll release it hopefully it'll be by tonight. After that, I'll head back to RCMixGlacier to fight round two with the camera.

The RCMixGlacier went pretty well, minimal issues. This on the other hand is an ass kicker.

Who are the Dev for D720?

So who are the developers that are going to be developing for the Samsung Nexus S 4G (D720)? I figured this is a question everyone has been wondering. Im very excited to get started with my Nexus S 4G! (Previously came from the HTC Evo and there were alot of dedicated dev., Hope to see the same here)
P.S I didnt put this in the Q&A Because this is a direct question to the developers in this section about the current ROM's Available. Please don't be upset : )
I hope netarchy puts up a rom with his liquid smooth touches. His evo rom + kernel was ILL.
The thing is, the nexus s and ns4g are dev phones, bare bone AOSP, so a custom rom is just gunna be "themed" a bit and/or the real "improvements" are in the Kernel or any additional apps the dev has created.
I would love to see a bunch of ports make their way over. I would imagine that a dev phone would be one of the easiest to port/build for (easy for a dev, not the average human )
in a way, we all are.. who is to say that someone has to be a "dev" to make something, or find out what may fix something? on the heroc we had hundreds of users sitting in an irc room helping each other trying to figure out why things didnt work and what would happen if we pressed this button 7 times instead of 4..
so in short grab some code and lets start working my repo is synced and already compiled im working with the rest of the ACS team to see if we cant bring some lovins on over from the epic/evo
trying to come up with a good name for the rom >.>
Well, its very time consuming. I did alot of theming in the past, then wrote a few apps for WebOS, but just don't seem to have the time anymore with fulltime work, college, etc.
You are right tho, anyone can learn and the nexus line are a great place to start, simple and not complicated. Come on young high-school minds with oodles of time! Make ur name known! Lol
Really tho, I wish I could contribute more

You know I have some time since school is over and now I'm just looking for work to pass me by til its starts again. NO BS if somebody could point me to the right way help me along the way. I would make a rom for the ns4g. Always wanted to just for self pride not for glory or money. So I'm here and ready!
I know alot of you guys don't know him. But ask any Droid owner about Peter Alfonso (BuglessPete). You couldn't ask for a better dev to work on stuff for your phone. * no pressure Pete
Seriously though shabbypenguin hit the nail on the head. We are in this together ...

This number one thing to do is get ur pc ready with the right software and drivers (there are a couple applications for compiling/decompiling and signing, not just what u use for root)
There's a thread around here about theming for the epic. It has a nice intro to the basic setup ull need, just be sure to replace anything epic with sns, u can then move on to ROMs once u understand what composes a ROM. When I'm back at my PC I could probably hook u up w a good place to start, but right now I'm out and about after this heathen Bulls game! Woot woot!

If I may suggest, Epic 4G is just about the same as the NS4G. From what I hear they got our stock to work on Epic just after I posted this.
I know they have the CM7 half way ported on Epic as well as the obvious stock with the TouchWiz interface for whoever likes that stuff I figured this would be the easiest place to start.
stop spamming this, its not going to work, for the same reasons why i explained in your thread about it
It probably will work as much as flashing a Droid ROM onto a Milestone...same hardware...epic fail.
more so then that all they currently have is a .32 cm7 kernel a semi working .35 cm7 kernel and their stock .32 touchwiz kernel.. we only have .35 stock kernel, even if you could get past the bootloops good luck trying to make a phone call or get crap to stop force closing
Spamming? Chill out man. I'm just trying to help.

Nice, hopefully it's not a waste of your time and it's legit. And it is sketchy that it would be posted without a source.
build.prop says its a dec7 build... **** it... flashing...
LOL. I literally googled "ICS G2X" and found a mediafire link.. don't flame me.. was just wondering if it was legit.
Most likely a broken AOSP or CM build being tossed between devs.

I already restored back to my bionix reloaded build sorry... just boot it up on your own, you cant do any harm by flashing it for a bit...
its literally an AOSP build... 4.0.1 (with a bunch of other digits after)... same old kernel... sound doesnt work so you can even make phone calls... its a mess to say the least...
and i doubt it would be fully working since we still dont have tegra2 drivers from nvidia... 2.2 to 2.3 is a doable fix, 2.3 to 4.0 is no beuno... nvidia or LG has to throw us a bone on this one...

Well I tried it and it works just cant get a data connecting 2g 3g or wifi. it was cool though having ICS for a minute!
this one didnt have the onscreen buttons too!
Cant wait for this to be put on this device. Tried a Galaxy Nexus at the local store and was amazed at the software. I would get one of those but seriously Tegra 2 is better than sgrx 540, Trust me that GN can not do what this G2x can in terms of gaming!

[WIP] [ROM] ICS Mutt

Ok, here is what I got for you guys to help me out on.
These are kanged from Gummy ICS for the Nexus S 4G along with parts from VB and KJ6.
ICS Mutt vTESTER 3. Still needs some smali/baksmali and a look at a few of the .apks.
ICS Mutt vTester 3
Changelog:
Added old version of swype to fix keyboard issue (temp fix)
Changed launcher
Hopefully fixed phone.apk and contacts.apk
Report back with logcats, what you did, and what happened. Also provide me a list of apps that are available.
erik and I did a lot...lol
Here is a link for the original bins, libs, and framework. This download is ONLY for those who are assisting. The zip contains a read me... read it:

All these are flash at your own risk. These are NOT FOR TESTING OR CHECKING OUT! They are for Devs ONLY wanting to assist with this project while I am without an SGS4G. Just to let everyone know, I got a bad update from windows on my computer and it screwed up my hard drive (thanks Bill!). These are versions that were still on my sdcard that I had to piece together from memory. Please run logcats (preferably verbose) and report them back to me so I can make my notes and document all changes for reference on future devleopment. Anyone willing to lend a hand during my phones abscence, it will be much appreciated.

Or did it die after you fixed the bug.
Because, sometimes, things can just boot in a fluke.
It still boots. Just doesn't do anything...lol... I'm going to rework everything right now... I got the source code for it...

Man,
I wish we had that many devs on our phone
Oh well, if we had more on cm7, it will help us collect more info on our phone so we can try a port to ics or aosp, or whatever...
Think of cm7 as a 'information collector' we can use to do new projects in the future.
I'd love to hop on this project, but I can't handle that much multitasking. I think we'd get further with more people on cm7, and then later do an ics port.

I think you are right about cm7. As much as I would like to continue with this project, I think we need cm7 first...lol
I have recompiled this thing 22 times now and still cannot get it to work. The biggest accomplishment I have made was getting it to boot and the setup wizard to display. But have not gotten past that.
I don't know much about kernels, but the way you and team acid have laid things out for us, as well as having a little bit of time since I am on vacation now, I think I am giong to take a shot at it. But I still think there is A LOT more reading/learning I need to do first...lol

Thanks brian...
Just to update everyone. I managed to get fix a couple of things. When I hit the menu button while in setup wizard, I can get into the wireless menu. I was also able to navigate thru the setup wizard, but had no keyboard input my email/password. I found I was missing a key file for the keyboard and will fix it later. However, after navigating thru the setup wizard, the homescreen/lockscreen doesn't show. It's coming together, slowly but surely...
Keep up the great work Thomas!
I made some good progress, I think anyways...lol
I installed swype and was able to get past the setup wizard properly.
I got the lockscreen to appear with a temp fix.
Still no homescreen, but I know where the problems lie and will be working on them tomorrow...
ICS is almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bon Voyage Sidekick 4G say hi to bhundven!

This about sums it up Lol.

Thanks for giving the SK4G new hope. Cant wait to see some progress although I know that's going to take some time
Yea, My hope is to get 3 different kernels running on this phone in two weeks. It may take a little bit longer.
1) cm6 based on the stock froyo kernel src drop.
2) teamacid's current 2.6.35 gb/ics
3) teamacid's port of aries 3.0.8 ics (eventually jb)
After the kernel is up and booting a basic set of features on the rom, I'll be sending it back to TLS and pushing out some test images.
There will be new recoveries and... I'm sure... a fist full of problems to work through. But it's a start.
Thanks again to nxd!
Wow two weeks? thats great news and thanks nxd, TheLastSidekick and bhundven for everything!

Well, two weeks of straight work. In the end, including having to live my real life as well, it may be a month. The two weeks being time-sliced between finding a job, being Mr. Mom and other work I am doing.

Well, I'm going to leave the testing to bhundven, he's playing with serious stuff here akin to fire. If you play with it and mess up, you will get burned unless you have unbrickable mod down. (Which he said he'll be doing). Unless you're willing to jump into the fire, I don't recommend it. Not to say he's going to put out something unstable, but keep in mind he's pretty much developing from the ground up and problems can arise.

Nah, don't need unbrickable mod for kernel testing.
I will do it if something bad happens, but I doubt that will happen.

Oh? Lol, I thought kernel flashing was dangerous if done wrong. You're the pro though lol, so all bets are on you. xD

Worst case scenario, I act like a total newb and flash the kernel to a bootloader partition. FAIL!
But, I'm sure I'll be a bit more professional then that.
With the kernel, the worst case scenario is having issues going from BML -> MTD or MTD back to BML. (Read this for explanation of BML and MTD)
But that shouldn't affect the SBL (Secondary BootLoader), so I should still be able to use a usb jig to get to download mode and go back to BML at any time.
The last worst case scenario is being totally silly stupid and fat finger a voltage setting and hard bricking the phone by over volting or over heating.
At that point, I'd just buy you a new phone.
Lol no offense I'm not sure I'd need one. The only reason I still have the Sidekick is for a backup in case my Galaxy S 2 decides to commit suicide.

yeah im excited but my sk4g might remain in my arsenal if we get some non tw going
TLS i have the same case as u
bhundven if things go south with TLS's sk4g, i can send mine.
OMG potrait mode video, we are doomed,
Happy that this has happened and hope to test soon the new development.
This thread has served it's purpose. Bhundven has the SK4G now.
/thread and farewell thread!
It's nice for you to send him the Sidekick 4G.
But, PM me, MA is Obvious MA.
