This is now considered a beta version of Ice Cream Sandwich for the HeroC. Please keep all comments/communication about this ROM in this thread, and keep the Development thread clean for people actively working on the ROM.
No guarantees that anything will work, or that your phone will not be turned into a brick or a toaster. Please backup if you value what is currently on your phone.
You can use this with or without gapps. If you load them both on the initial setup, be sure to select "Setup Wizard" when the system first comes up.
In its current state this ROM with GAPPS needs around 155M in /system. I am currently running firerats at 160/20 just to be safe for testing purposes. I would recommend at least 155 for system.
There are some obvious places where we can reduce the size, but that will come as we continue to refine and move forward. Performance in not great, but overall it is fairly functional. Gapps are just some a minimal version to get Market working.
THIS ROM TAKES A LONG TIME TO BOOT (ESPECIALLY FIRST BOOT).
Boot animation has been added in 26NOV version. Please be patient.
This is a work in progress and there remain many Opportunities for Improvement (the gentle euphemism for Defects).
Working (at least for me):
Touchscreen
Trackball
Phone
Data
WiFi
MMS
Audio
Bluetooth
SD Card
Market
GPS
Gallery
Boot Animation
LatinIME Keyboard
Prediction/Dictionary
Network Stats (Data Usage)
Headsets (Audio Jack & HTC 11 Pin)
Not Working:
Camera
Gallery2
Graphics Acceleration
TBD (Lots of other stuff)

FAQ / Fixes
DATA ISSUES
If you are having issues with Data try the following settings:
"Data enabled" checked
"Data roaming" unchecked
"System select" Home only
If you still have issues with data, please capture the output of "adb logcat -b radio" from boot to completely booted and post it to pastebin or equivalent.
KEYBOARD ISSUE
Attached below is a replacement keyboard that doesn't have the bottom row off-screen. This is just a quick hack to get a functional keyboard. After some clean up and testing, I will include it in the releases going forward. Just replace the existing /system/app/LatinIME.apk with this one for the time being.
Reserved 2
This is also reserved for later use.
Nice.

hmmm after the HTC screen, i get a black screen showing nothing. Plugged the charger and shows charging light.. Still waiting for it, it's been like 3 minutes. im on 170 40 mtd settings. K nvm it setup just appeared. For those that are trying, wait for it.
EDIT: K been messing around with it (sorry for all these edit, just trying to prevent a lot of posts and I am awake this late so might as well show some heads up) but problems I found
1) Keyboard is half (missing space bar and the alt function)
2) Screen orientation is choppy
3) Im missing the actual market app, might be firerats issue
I found a pointless feature.. but using the trackball brings up a cursor lol didn't know it'd do that. Making it "click" u have to press the ball then scroll quickly rather than just keep clicking the ball.
Thank you ICS Team. Other than the items listed in the OP, I cannot get data to work. Phone is stuck on No Service and every few minutes will jump to roaming and then back to no service. If I try to call a number with the dial pad, the dial pad disappears after I press send, I assume this is because I have no cell signal. Could not test google apps due to no data. I was still able to play with the home screen, widgets, etc.
@ Majin101, my keyboad seems to be working ok, I do have the market app but haven't tried to use it yet. I am not using firerats mod. If anyone else tries to flash this, make sure you wait a few minutes for the rom to boot as mentioned in the above post. You will see a blank screen but it will eventually boot.
This is going to be a great rom. If you use a different keyboard you also get space and alt to show up.
Findings.
Okay, Seems nice. There is no bootscreen, so be patient, when setting up, choose "setup wizard"(this is kind of a no brainer, but you never know). Alright:
1. Data isn't working, I changed the roaming settings, but it didn't help.
2. As mentioned in an earlier post, the keyboard is missing some keys.
3. I do however have the market application. I used the gapps in the op and am using firerats 160 40
Really amazing work. The fact that this is even running on my hero amazes me. And they thought it would have trouble with eclair

Data is working well for me with the following settings:
"Data enabled" checked
"Data roaming" unchecked
"System select" Home only
Try that, and if you still have issues with data, please capture the output of "adb logcat -b radio" from boot to completely booted and post it to pastebin or equivalent.
As i was installing in cwm i got an error stating "random offset: 0 x 150" yet the rom still installed. Any ideas as to what this was/is?

I got the same error. It booted just fine and I thus ignored it. Would be nice to know though.
For those that want to fix the keyboard, just download ics keyboard from market. For those that cannot download from market, use root explorer to go into "cache" and create a folder named "downloads", for those that want to increase scrolling speed etc., flash the TweakZ.zip found in the android general forum here at XDA. I would also recommend setCPU.
I also got Random Offset 0x1ba. Once rebooted, HTC screen showed up then black screen. I waited 10 min but it looked frozen. So I pulled the battery. Then I accidentally formatted my SD card and the fun was over.

The "random offset" comment has to do with the flashing of the kernel. I'm not entirely sure but I think it has to do with the way the boot.img is packed. Should be harmless though..
Good to see you'll got this thing running though.

Another feedback!
pros
1) Ive been texting sending and recieving just fine no problems (havent tried mms)
2) Made calls talked fine (although my face kept hitting the end button..)
3) Installed swype, texting is fine now and changed the dictionary too english to get rid of those red lines under the words
4) Also increased pointer speed to just use the trackball if needed
other bugs:
1) Noticed that some of my notification doesn't make a sound or plays
2) When I play music its coming through the ear piece speaker rather than the back speaker
3) google map fails to login
Darn looks like I have to go back to CM7.1. People try to call me but my won't won't tell me someone is calling and their isn't any sound either. Also the gallery app opens but doesn't show pictures and apps are missing from the market but thats probably a build.prop issue.
-------
Just flashed without mtd and it seems to be working better. I'm receiving calls and can hear my sound now.
Great job guys! Running for about an hour and besides the above mentioned bugs, I've noticed one more.
When I put the phone on the charger it becomes unresponsive and the screen goes dark. No way to wake the phone nor is the charging led on.
The only way I can charge the phone is to do a battery pull and boot the phone while on the charger.
mines charging and im still able to use it?
Very Impressive, to say the least!
*note for the development team - you are the F-ing man!!!!

I am listing the known issues with Haykuro's magnificent magic port here as the original threads are getting too large for people to find stuff.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR FAULT REPORTING ONLY - NOT QUESTIONS, NOT PRAISE FOR HAYKURO (THOUGH HE DESERVES IT) NOT INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL. JUST FAULT REPORTING
OK shouting over, on with the list.
I will add any reported problems to the master list in the next post.
ok on the current build (the zip file known as real-signed.zip)
Missing
Android Market
Google Talk
Google Maps
G-Mail App (although G-mail available in Mail App).
YouTube App
Pdf Reader
Also backgrounds and ringtones have been removed by Haykuro to get the build size down.
Japanese support (may have been removed to get build size down).
Not working
Bluetooth
Wifi
autorotate and hardware keyboard closure support.
headphone port does not shut off speaker or play through headphones when they are plugged in.
Buggy
Video and camera are inverted and also colour on mine seems scrambled as if Red, Green & Blue values are switched.
(i have added a couple of pics below to show this - please note I rotated the camera pic for ease of vewing.
Some ALT keyboard combinations do not produce the correct on screen results. (Does someone want to do a definative list?)
Music Widget
As far as I'm aware, autorotate just doesn't work (ie: It's disabled).
also:
Headphones don't work.
Music widget is buggy
Chinese settings are still there (is it difficult to remove all traces, more an aesthetic thing really)
Hardware keyboard has wrong alt settings (Should be an easy fix, probably just a file needs replacing)
YouTube player missing
Closing the keyboard doesn't rotate screen back
Thanks guys - added.
PDFReader is missing as well

sorry can you clarify that, I ussume you are talking about the bootloader upgrade. You have tried this and it makes no changes and you still get the update notification.
Do i have that right. As i have been turning it down all day.
On the G1, connecting an auxiliary cable through a mini usb would allow you to play music in the car. Now, connecting the cable does nothing and music continues to play through the phone.
- random restarts / reboots
- long lag on boot screen / htc splash x2 for it to load home screen
- contact icons not showing up on favorite tabs
and this is random but really really COOL
when your calling a friend as it rings and rings, your phone VIBRATES when the other person picks up which i thought was cool lol.
if i find any other bugs i'll report good job guys
Bad news folks. So far Hello AIM, Hello IM and Paringo won't install
i dont know if this is a new change but when you hit the volume key the lowest it goes to vibrate, no way to put on silent unless you hold the red button. it isn't that big of a deal but thought i might mention.
Meebo works fine though
Shazam does not work...the website does not recognize the phone. I have not tried pushing it though will try later on and see. wifi tether installs just fine..of course wifi does not work as of now so cannot try it out.
Some applications that worked on 1.1 no longer work on 1.5.
e.g. fastbright, dxtop
Others won't install
e.g. moviefinder
The OS is very finicky now.
A few things I was able to find:
1.)Music Player widget sometimes will not update, and must be removed and readded.
2.)If you play music and sign into Gmail through the new mail program, and hit 'refresh' it sometimes crashes the phone sending it into a constant reboot loop.
3.)Reboot loop still present if phone crashes.
4.)Cannot install google apps using apkinstaller etc.
5.)Probably one of the most important for me personally... JAPANESE TEXT not included like it was in JF/T-Mo brews. Just shows the squares.
6.)As everyone knows, no WiFi/Bluetooth.
A couple of more things I've found:
1. browser bold font is fuzzy and not crisp, unlike rc33.
2. browser scrolling and panning is overall faster than rc33, but some sites like google reader actually scroll slower than rc33. So the browser seems to be still quite buggy.

EVOLUTIONX2
UPDATE-EVOX2
Alright this is just an updated X. i had alot of ideas in mind but i cant get them to function properly. Just as many updates in the V series were small, they led to bigger things. with source and everything this week it has been hard to stay focused on one rom. X3 will be a completely new beast. so for now pick V or X series. they work the same
END----------------------------------------------
EVOlutionX-This is a DroidX themed Froyo. its as reliable as V8 but now it has alot of motorola elements. i started Seem editing moto razrs so im going back to the beggining .
i recommend wiping everything then Flashing. IF you have V8 or Hero_overs rom, you might not HAVE to wipe because its froyo over froyo but if you experience problems, wipe then flash
This is a very visual rom. i love it so far. If you dont like it just restore your V8 or w/e. This is a new series of froyo roms so i will continue updating this with the V series.
New-Wifi-tether
sprint tv
all red
new bootscreen
new launcher
new live wallpaper
new market
new icons**
new froyo leak
wireless N
Ability to flash OC kernels
lots more!
EVOlutionX2
So enjoy it.
New Series Changlog
-EVOlutionX-Droid theme. million extras.
-EVOlutionX2- Revamped everything. much faster, smoother.
============================================================
EVOLUTION V9
Alright EVOV9 is based on FRF85B and has the Evo update applied. it fixed alot of little problems. Much more stable and smooth. This is considered very beta as the new updates kill alot of things, it was hard to get it right. 35+ test roms actually. I will be updating as problems are found. but the only things that are not fixed are mms, BTmono, cameras. everything else should work. I recommend a wipe coming from anything, but as always it may not be 100% needed coming from another froyo rom.
Please enjoy EVOlutionV9
EVOlutionV9
Quirk- some people may get no sim card inserted at google login. just click back and it will fix it. this is one of the issues i have fixed but i will address them at a later time.
I will be adding patches, one for MMS fix and another with a white taskbar incase you dont like the black one.
You must flash coming from any rom. Go to market and download TITANIUM BACKUP. click (problems?) and install busybox. after that push menu and select batch. BACKUP ALL USER APPS. when its done you will then have all your apps backed up. then install rom, rinse, repeat.
for people who dont want use this because of cameras, i posted this up and i guess people dont think about it. Nandroid backup your 2.1. after its done wipe everything, flash this rom, set up the 2.2 rom to your liking, titanium backup works on froyo, and nandroid backup this rom. nandroids are sorted by date so just remember the earlier one is 2.1. you can rename but people say it messes up sometimes. then use froyo when you dont need cameras, and just wipe dalvik and restore 2.1 when you do. thats what i do and i love it.
Working-A2dp BT

enjoy!
Recommendations- i want to include this as i know how it is just starting android rooting. when your start flashing roms, the first thing you do is look for flaws. now these little things kept me from going to roms. the biggest problem i forget is that there are apps out there that can replace the small ones.
Handcent-Ultimate msging app. i suggest you download this, go into the stock msg app and disable notifications. this will help with Voicemail issues.
Rootexplorer- you must have this. it is one amazing app
Better keyboard- the stock skin on this beats anything i have used. i recommend this app also.
Titanium backup- USE THIS AND BACKUP ALL APPS WEEKLY!!!
i will add to this as i continue. and one very very important thing, i got my htc hero in november. i didnt join XDA until january but i downloaded roms from day1. leave comments!!!! as a developer the most important thing is not how many people use your rom or how much money you make. its all about you all telling us you love our rom. theres no greater feeling than sitting down for 6 hours at a time and fixing issues and hearing thanks. so this is just something to think about thanks for the support everyone
Credits-Toast for first build!!! Without that i would be working on something else
Credits go to the the nexus forum where i got the icons
-thanks to the dev who found wireless N
-anyone i forget, i do not in any way shape or form want to take away from other developers. if i forgot you please pm me and i will include you and get you the credit you deserve.
great work, I downloading , will report back when done.
looks like fun, hopefully froyo is ported over before its official evo release
Running well.
Good work.
as stated above. please list in detail EVERY problem you find i will go threw and try to fix what can be fixed.
starting with BT. tell me what profiles do and dont work. i know a2dp doesnt but lets see about the others
thanks!
Not able to download from link.
Testing right now. I have to root with Toast. I'll report.
Nice work, getting closer to a stable froyo, will try when a get out work and report back with problems that I find.

Damn me and my impatience, tried it again and bam, it worked.
Thanks for the ROM. Here are 3 problems I am incurring:
1. Can't pair with bluetooth device.
"There was a problem pairing with LG HBM-570 because the PIN or Passkey was incorrect." The problem is, android doesn't pop up a keypad for me to type in any PIN. Then when I hit the back key, I get an error message:
"Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
2. Screen auto-rotate to landscape doesn't work at all. I tried in Messaging and the Browser. The setting Auto-rotate screen is checked under Display setting.
3. Proximity sensor doesn't work. When I'm on the phone the screen doesn't turn off automatically.
Other than that everything else seems to be running fine. The LED light goes away when I unplug, finally! I also updated the eri.xml to get rid of the roaming indicator. I will post updates as needed. Thanks

Figured perhaps a bug thread for the Rogers 2.2 update may be in order?
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but it does seem a bit odd. The lock screen usually has the text "swipe screen to unlock" or something to that nature (the part with the <<< and >>>) - mine had it to begin with in 2.2, however now it has dissapeared and I just see the little lock icon saying the phone is locked. Is there any way to get it back or is this a 2.2 "feature" so you see more of your background?
The 2nd problem I noticed I have already started a thread on (and no replies ) - it deals with contact linking and Facebook. Seems something is whacky there too possibly. The thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907088

Definitely a feature. I love the clearer lock screen.
Bug: Haptic feedback vibration is very low system wide (not including soft keys).
Bug: Voice Dialer (Voice Dialler) is misspelled in the App Drawer.
Bug: Going to Settings > Display > Font Style causes a crash.
All I remember so far but there has been several.

Confirmed feature of Froyo, or is this a Rogers/Samsung specific feature? Just wondering because it WAS showing up for a few lock screens right after the upgrade, then eventually stopped showing up - reboot/battery reset didn't get it back... haven't tried a factory reset yet to see if that fixes it (if it's broke).

No problems here - did you have it set to a custom/non default font when upgrading? I had mine on default (I prefer that to any other font) and have no issues changing fonts.
I've had some issues with wifi losing it's internet / market connection after wake up sometimes. shows still connected, but no network access. i have to turn wifi off, then back on occasionally.

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi settings. From this screen, hit your menu key and select Advanced and try changing your Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never... perhaps it's set to "When screen turns off" causing you to lose Wi-Fi whenever you lock your phone?
Oh, another bug possibly...
Go to Camera app and open Settings. Open the wrench tab and go to the 2nd page. Click the Update button beside Firmware update. Either of the next two menu choices ("Check version by network" or "Firmware update") seem to freeze the phone (power off required). Doesn't seem to happen all the time, but my first time trying to get the update to do something caused the phone to lock up in to camera mode.
Also, the "It will occur additional fee." message is quite fun... no idea what fees I will incur, or for what reason (and I won't even get in to the grammar issues).

Well it can't be a Froyo feature because no other manufactures use the same lock screen as they do. So it's a Samsung feature brought on by Froyo. Simply, it can't be a bug.

Its much faster and smoother than 2.1 stock was for me. Did you set it up fresh? Older settings can cause issues.
you guys have this issue? you may not even know it until you try to use mass storage mode. I use iSyncr (lets me use smart playlists based on ratings) so I need mass storage mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907854
My wife and I (each have a Captivate) have had none of the bugs you guys have mentioned.
All we have experienced is a faster phone and WAY better battery life.
The only thing that upset me is that the update deleted my Ocean Wave livewallpaper, but I just redownloaded it.
Did some of you guys experiencing bugs ever run a custom ROM? I am thinking maybe these issues might be because you did...
Re: Haptic Feedback.
I've noticed it too, it's much weaker than before.
I could have sworn that I saw the option to turn up the intensity before, but can't find it now.
I want to update, but all these bugs are not very comforting

Go for it..I installed it and so far the improvements have been great over 2.1
Battery life is much improved, its faster than stock 2.1 (and after applying Ryan's OCLF...its incredibly responsive)
If you do have a lagfix installed prior to upgrading you should uninstall that first. Thats what I did and didn't have much problems. my one issue with Swype was fixed by clearing the cache.

I gave it a go on your recommendation. Updated with no issues, now to actually try using it...
Has anyone rooted after applying 2.2? If so, what did you use?
I've been having issues turning on WiFi on my phone ever since I installed the update.
I accidentally clicked Airplane mode on my phone this morning, now my phone has been trying to turn the WiFi back on for about 5 mins....
As for battery life, my phone the first few days after installing Froyo seemed great, but now it doesn't really seem as good? No idea why....
And I've noticed a bit of lag at times while navigating on my phone.
Using LauncherPro Plus as my home screen, haven't rooted or installed any roms or anything.
I have noticed that when you turn the phone on from when it is off, if you don't wait for the wallpaper to display before swiping your phone on, the phone will stall. Mine stalled for about 5 minutes before it responded again.
I'm having a couple of small issues:
1) I can't get the GPS to look position. It just displays "Waiting for Location" and sits there.
2) OCLG - I got about 1000 on quadrant score. It doesn't seem laggy but I wanted to apply this lagfix to see if it can be better. I tried runnig the first option in the menu (z4 rooting), and it tries to launch either a page or the market (not sure which) but says "Page Not Found", but when you close it and press back, it says the root was successful, but all the other options are still "unavailable" so I can't apply the lagfix. There's a second method in the menu to do a root and that one fails as well, so I'm not sure how to get this working.
3) Camera - I got the same problem as a previous poster for the firmware update where it says "fees will occur" then when I click "yes", it tries to launch a page/market (again not sure) and says "Page Not Found".
4) Rooting - not sure how to root because the previous method of putting my update.zip and doing it through the recovery menu fails.
Any help is appreciated.
I was running rooted lagfixed stock Rogers 2.1 before. Removed lagfix first and did a factory reset before updating to 2.2 through Kies.
After updating to 2.2 I re-rooted and lagfixed with no issue.
Things bugs I have noticed on my phone:
- Camera a few times had started up with a black screen only with usual camera options but it's as if it does not see anything from the lens (had done camera fw update on it. You can download it from Samsung Apps app)
- When viewing "Contacts" can't press Back button to exit it so I just press Home button. Small bug
- can't set up smtp outbound email settings on stock email app. Keep getting it can't connect with server even when manually inputting correct settings.
- Battery undetermined as i've been playing with GPS a lot testing it so it drains pretty quick.
- GPS - Had no problems with 2.1 (using GPS + "Use wireless networks") but it's been horrible on 2.2. Locks ok when stationary, fluctuating between 5-9 satellite locks (used lbstestmode to check) but when you are moving or when using it for Navigation, it will be ok for a short bit then would eventually start bouncing all over the place or start getting weak/lost locks. Was using it on the hwy one time and it would suddenly tell me to do a u-turn because it thought I was on a side road. (condition was clear and phone was by windshield).
What it did fix for me:
- Opening Gallery before would sometimes lock up the phone requiring battery pull in 2.1. Fixed for me with 2.2
- Running latest updated Maps would sometimes lock up the phone requiring battery pull in 2.1. Fixed for me with 2.2 but still somewhat useless because of issue mentioned previously.
I can live with all the bugs except for the abismal gps.

It's not working when I install! I'm receiving force closes, sitting at bootloops, etc.
Make sure you're installing the ROM correctly. Remember that kernels, MODs, radios, and carriers can mess with your phone's performance and workability.
I'm not on AT&T and this ROM is completely broken!
This ROM is not necessarily designed for international compatibility. Please wait for future updates or attempt an install with a proper international kernel. I hear it works fine on Rogers, but you'll need to add your APN. Google for directions on how to do that.
Why is my device running/booting slowly?
Your first boot will take an unimaginably long time. After that, your device will continue to run slowly until the application cache is built up. Don't worry, the speed will increase as you use the ROM!
Why is my battery life bad?
Your battery life is often killed when flashing ROMs in CWM. For the best battery life, you must drain your device’s battery until it turns off. Plug the device into the AC adapter and let it charge until the image says 100% charged. Then turn it on and use the volume buttons to boot into CWM. Click Wipe Battery Stats under the advanced menu. Then you should charge to 100% and install the ROM. Battery life should be comparable to (if not better than) every other ROM.
Where's my bloatware?
Alien ICS deletes unnecessary bloatware that can be replaced by better applications in the Android Market. If you'd like the bloatware back, you can download the CWM bloatware installer from here.
Why isn't there a battery mod?
You can cook your own battery mod using the UOT kitchen.
Coming soon (its TouchWiz, what do you expect?)
Changelog:
Alien ICS #8
Based on UCLE2.
CRT off works now (thanks Samsung).
Ready2Go moved to bloat - its broken this release anyway.
Probably other stuff I don't remember.
Alien ICS #7.4
Updated Google Maps (full release only).
Fixed home screen folder size when opened.
Fixed icon placement between home screens.
Alien ICS #7.3
Updated Google+ (full release only).
Removed AT&T Address Book Sync.
Removed broken Yellow Pages contact.
Alien ICS #7.2 re-release
AOSP lockscreen addon available.
Hide IME toggle in status bar.
build.prop tweaks.
Fix Media Hub.
Alien ICS #7.1
Adding scrolling wallpaper both to TW Launcher and third-party ones.
Fixed a small bug with enforcing copying libs (would only have affected AT&T's navigation).
Alien ICS #7
Initial Alien ICS release.
Known issues:
The home button has a slight delay. This is common in ICS (check SGS2 for example).
Turning off Wi-Fi tethering will cause the Settings app to be unresponsive for a minute or so. This appears to be an issue with the Tether provisioning and does not cause any actual problem. Seems fixed in UCLE2.
Changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy increases battery drain. This is common across many phones and ROMs.
The volume slider in Settings -> Sounds does not stick. Use the rocker instead. This is a ULCD2 issue. Seems fixed in UCLE2.
Data may be flaky for some. It works fine for me, but buyer beware. This appears to be a UCLD2 modem issue. Another modem may help. Use my modem and this won't be a problem.
Email syncing may be flaky. This is an Android 4.0.3 problem. Hopefully fixed since this is AOSP 4.0.4.
Anything else that has been common with ICS from Odin (I really haven't noticed hardly anything to be honest).
Some people have noticed weirdness when coming from GB related to the Home/Search keys. This appears to be related to updating from GB only (perhaps files on the SD card). Flashing the ROM a few times and booting into it between each flash seems to clear this up. Alternately, try backing up your internal SD card to your PC and then formatting it.
Miscellaneous:
If you want to enable "Preferred install location" in Settings -> Applications, run the following through an ADB shell and reboot:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update system set value="1" where name="set_install_location";'
Thanks for this! I'm downloading now.
Love that subtitle! and your work!
OK, I installed this last night and all seemed good, except an issue with the stock browser (Google Mobile?) not saving my preferences. However, I got up this morning and noticed the stock Email program (not Gmail) wasn't deleting my messages. It wouldn't delete through checking the box and selecting delete and it wouldn't delete via "longpress". It also froze the phone (requiring me to press the power key 10 seconds for a re-start) and restarted the phone once on its own. All of this is coming with the vibes so I'm thinking it is from fc's. Maybe I have a bad flash or maybe its something I installed. I haven't installed much yet and everything I have installed now worked fine with the first leak Alien stock release that I have been running before this? I let the phone sit for about 5 minutes after the last restart and it all seems to be working fine again? Email deleting is working and no fc's? I'll test it more to see if it continues to happen or if it was just a "one-time" strange thing. Is anyone else having these issues? If the problem persists and no one else is having it, I will reflash later to see if it was a flashing issue. TIA

Sounds weird to me, I haven't noticed any of that. Perhaps a bad flash. Its always a good idea to let the phone sit about 10 minutes after the first boot to let any processes settle out. Maybe this could be related. I'd also make sure you're running the UCLD2 modem.
Just installed and EVERYTHING is running great so far. Restored apps with Tibu. Installed SuperSU then fixed permissions with ROM Manager.
This is the first time I've ran an ICS ROM without any problems.
Thanks Romracer...you do great work!

This is exactly what I was looking for. A tweaked stock samsung ics looking rom without all the unnecessary blue theming.
My auto brightness doesn't seem as responsive as it use to be. However, the rest of the rom is awesome.

I reflashed, and so far, everything seems to be working OK. Email seems to work OK and the mobile browser is keeping the preferrences this time. So I guess it was a bad flash. It could have been one other thing. I installed the modded HULU+ app the first time around and it seemed to work fine. Does anyone know if the regular Hulu+ app (un-modded from the market) will work on this ROM or do I need to keep using the modded app? I don't think the modded app would derp anything but its the only thing I can think of (besides just a bad flash).
This is an amazing ROM (as usual).
**Edit**
Definately something going on with the Stock Email app on my end. It worked fine for a while and then started not deleting Email like it should then it gave error messaged when clicking on individual Emails such as "message too long" and "connection error" and then a momentary freeze. Everything is set up correct (settings and servers) and "GMAIL" app works fine for Email. Its strange because I went into the Apps settings and forced it closed and then I stopped the services associated with it. When I clicked on the Email button again, it all started working fine again. Come to think of it, "Media Hub" was associated with it as well. I wonder if Media hub is messing it up? I'm pretty sure it is not anything wrong in this Alien ROM (everything else is working great), if anything, it might be an isolated ICS bug that only occurs in certain conditions or conflicting apps (like the media hub might be). I'll keep looking into it, but its not a big deal because the GMAIL app works fine (and so does the "stock Email" most of the time).
**Edit 2**
I derped my own golden rule....read read read...
per the "ICS bugs" thread...
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51
http://files.devphone.org/404mail/
If it continues to be a problem I will try the "fix" and let everyone know if it works.

I don't think it was listed in the features... But its already on my radar. Making gallery let you pick a bigger wallpaper is easy (1 line). Making twlauncher use it is what I'm on now. Nova works with my modified gallery though.
Anyway, I'll have a small 7.1 update (no wipe) later today assuming I get time to figure it out.
I've finally decided to flip the switch, so the 14.1 nightly builds are running (though they are built only once a week, due to the current infrastructure limitations).
The official builds are signed with private keys (for good security reasons), so there's no plan to provide any unofficial builds by me, to avoid the hassle of switching between different keys.
I'd like to thank @Loader009 for the donation of his retired xt897 devices to me, it greatly helped to make the transition from 13.0 to 14.1 much less painful.
Please let me know about the issues you encounter when running 14.1. In the case of the device crashes, I need to see the output of "cat /proc/last_kmsg" from adb shell, captured after the device rebooted after the crash. Thanks in advance.
I've got it flashed on my RAZR HD XT925 JBBL with the DPI changed to 320. I bought it secondhand and it came with KKBL so I downgraded to JBBL. Most things run fine but some apps that render off the GPU like Temple Run 2 and Subway Surfs show artifacts (random black squares and multicoloured artifacts). This occurs both in Lineage OS 13.0 and 14.1, what's the cause of this to occur?
I've noticed only two problems:
1 - NFC doesn't work properly. I can't read any tag. Android Pay also says, that device is not supported to use NFC.
2 - I use 2 custom layouts for physical keyboard and hot-keys like CTRL+Space don't work. I tried to modify the layout to make it work, but it doesn't work while typing (since space key in use, maybe)
I just installed it yesterday after a complete wipe (and format data/cache f2fs), and think I've got it all set up the way I like except launcher, and didn't run into any real problems yet.
I can't figure out how to get the expected shift/capslock behaviour from hardware keyboard. Still playing with settings.
It didn't come with an APN for freedompop but I found that info on another thread here, before applying that I didn't get LTE, only 3G or no data at all (at the places I've been in last day or so).
I dunno anything about NFC, but Android Pay installed for me with Aroma Gapps, haven't tried using it, doubt it'll work for tap-to-pay tho, as it didn't work for the last few versions of CM either, something to do with PN544 driver or something.
Did LineageOS come with trebuchet? I ended up with only the google now launcher, but maybe my gapps install erased trebuchet, I used aroma for the first time and may have selected things wrong... this one seems I can't customize much, can't get rid of google search bar, can't set background as solid color, can't set background color of app drawer at all which is back to a grid like kitkat.
Play store says firefox not compatible... dunno why. Maybe something I didn't select right with Aroma gapps, although every other app installed fine. Totally unrelated to LineageOS or our phone, but I wish I could find an idiots guide for aroma app selection, explaining what each app is for, particularly system apps I'm not familiar with.
edit: had one reboot, also had errors about MTP host stopping pop up...

Trebuchet is the default launcher for LineageOS. Your Gapps deleted it. Also, if you use a smaller GApps, there is no google search bar ie its not installed. I personally use OpenGapps Pico.
Nightly build from 2017-07-28. Wi-Fi not working. Is it just me?
//EDIT: Tried older builds, too. Wi-Fi did not work with any of them. Flashed back to CM 11.0 and it worked again. Tried LineageOS 13.0 and Wi-Fi worked, too.
//EDIT2: Okay, I think I've figured it out. When I flashed the LineageOS 14.1 after I flashed the phone with previous versions, the Wi-Fi worked alright. It stopped working after changing File system to f2fs.
//EDIT3: Fine, I actually don't know, what happened, but I just changed the File system to f2fs again, flashed the phone with LineageOS 14.1 one more time and the Wi-Fi surprisingly works. I have absolutely no clue, why it did not work after the first flashing.
Shift key not working as expected
I already posted this in a seperate thread a few days ago, but I've got no response and it's driving me crazy, and I assume anyone who is still using this device is because of the physical keyboard, so probably relevant to all.
How do restore traditional "shift" behavior? I want to be able to press then release shift, and the next key I press is shifted. Right now I have to hold shift and another key simultaneously if I want capital letters or symbols from the numbers. I think there even used to be an LED that light up when shift was pressed/released until the next keypress, although I'm more concerned about how it actually works than the led...
I've played with most of the settings on the attached screenshot, other settings only seem to make things worse, sometimes making nothing happen at all for shift, sometimes putting out garbage, sometimes messing with capslock behavior (which is working normally with these settings, although no LED either)... but I certainly haven't tried everything.
If this is standard behavior for everyone using L14.1 and not a setting, is there a file I can modify or a 3rd party app, or anything, to get behavior I want?

hi
the version that you flashed in your xt925 was the oficial one released by LOS?
did u do any kind of port or mod?
enigma9o7: I've had the same problem sometimes back with the older builds of LineageOS 14.1. Try to clean flash it with the newest build from yesterday. I just tried to type something with the physical keyboard and the Shift button just worked "correctly".
EDIT: Okay, I think I've figured out your problem. You probably use the Asanti v2 keyboard setting. Switch it to Asanti v1 and the Shift key should work as expected.

Should updates work thru the updater?
I just tried doing it, it downloaded succesfully, then rebooted into TWRP, but didn't do anything. So I tried installing myself (took me a while to find the file btw) and it failed zip signature verification. So I downloaded it on my PC, copied it over via USB, then tried again, and still fails.

@kabaldan, I noticed that a number of device trees in LineageOS now have a new branch of "lineage-15.0", but the xt897 does not. Is this an ominous sign that the xt897 will not be built for Oreo?:crying: or is just a timing thing at this early stage:fingers-crossed:
any hope for running it on mb886?
mb886 - atrix HD - ...you can test it if is your bl unlocked and twrp installed.
Mainboard have same base - msm8960. But i am now 100% sure if your phone is bl free unlockable. if not, then you can test to unlock it via sunshine.
I have installed this and for a while all was fine. But I was browsing in chrome when all of a sudden it froze and the phone restarted and went into a boot loop just showing the bootloader unlocked screen. I cleared the cache and dalvik cache from TWRP, which makes it boot, but any attempt to uninstall or launch chrome makes it happen again. Now it just seems to be happening at random without even opening chrome.
How can I wipe my device completely and start again? I know I can do a factory reset, but is there a lower level way to wipe it? I also saw something about changing the filesystem, is that worth doing (can it make it a bit faster)?
I have ordered a gemini PDA that I hope will arrive by late january or sometime in february, but I need this phone to get me through a couple more months!
Installed this a couple weeks ago, upgrading from a 4.4.4 CM after a number of apps I run on this finally dropped support. I did a complete wipe including the f2fs formats as suggested and it installed without incident.
I cannot believe how well it runs: keyboard works and lights up on pull out, turns off on close, hdmi port works, gps, camera+flash works. It really didn't lose any speed from my older install. Really well done, I was afraid there would be bigger problems but only a couple small ones so far.
The couple things I noticed: slow to get carrier signal and voice is garbled when using freedompop's dialer or google hangouts on the bottom mic. Slow signal seems normal, even 4.4.4 had this issue, though it can sometimes take a few minutes. Using a sound recorder shows the bottom mic working, but using fpop/hangouts dialer makes it garbled. Top mic, speaker phone, always works though. I don't have regular service to see is default dialer has same issue though, just freedompop free service which is just voip.
Still, this is a pretty awesome breath of life on this old thing. Ram holds it back somewhat but it's still pretty useful.
So I just wiped everything, repaired filesystems, and reinstalled. Data and cache were already f2fs so nothing to do there. But I noticed that during install it says:
twrp patching system unconditionally
unknown command [log]
unknown command [log]
Do I need a newer version of TWRP? I have 2.8.6. I noticed that at least 3.0 is available: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887070
Here is 3.1.1-0 for you

I've now installed the latest TWRP and reinstalled Lineage, gapps and su, and I didn't get any errors this time
But I have a really odd problem which I was hoping this would fix and it hasn't - I can't download certain applications from the play store, they say "Downloading" but they never actually start to download. Eventually either it mysteriously stops trying to download or I get an error message with code 492. It seems to be applications that are over a certain size. I've been googling but can't find any solutions that work. I have a lot of free space in all partitions. Did something with the directory structure get screwed up maybe? Seems like some problem with the dalvik cache I think, but wiping doesn't seem to help. I have no idea at this point
