CM9 ICS AlphaBeefaroni for the Droid Charge from TeamHacksung : the most unsupported ROM ever created
ROM - http://www.mediafire.com/?c45wga90hjmxtvc
Google apps - http://www.multiupload.com/D07OVCSB9G
Instructions:
* make a backup of your current ROM, if you're a pansy like that
* WIPE DATA (DUH)
* flash the ROM (DUH)
* mount system under mounts & storage, then flash Google apps
* reboot into a ridiculously early build of ICS/CM9 for the Droid Charge
If it doesn't boot the first time, boot back into recovery, and repeat the steps above.
If you find a bug...keep it to yourself! Don't ask me how to fix it, you already saw yourself that it doesn't work, right?
For the haters: http://kan.gd/1e1t :-O
Enjoy. Or don't. I don't care.

I'm pretty sure the only things not working are bluetooth, the youtube app, the radios, the camera (which i haven't seen working in nearly every other ICS ROM for every other phone), and the home button (which doesn't matter much because you can just use the back button).
I know that EGL (hardware acceleration) is working, wifi is working, the screen, sdcard, all google apps and basically every thing else you can think of.
It is really great how much is working, especially considering that this is a first build. Thanks JT!
JT IS NOT YOUR PERSONAL BABYSITTER SO DON'T GO WHINING TO HIM WHEN YOU FIND AN ISSUE, OR THE ROM CAUSES A NUCLEAR WAR (which it might because of how amazing it is).
Because JT1134 is so AMAZING, here is his donation link so you can add to his beer fund. If you liked this ROM or any other mod or tweak that JT has created, please donate him. Or even if you didn't try out any of his ROMs, donate anyway because he makes some amazing stuff!

Cool so far.
Just downloaded and flashed. Looks very nice! I am assuming this is not a working version as the phone will not register service. Awesome though!!!
Hahaha I enjoyed the link "to the haters"

The updater script in the zip will convert you to ext4 automatically. I'm very excited for this ROM--I tried it out last night and although I won't be staying on it until cell connectivity is working, it's very nice of JT to have put this initial version together for us.
would anything happen if you flash the ep4d's radios? or is the RIL the code that makes those radio files work?

my guess would be that given ICS is a whole new iteration of android (its own kernel, skin, modems, etc.) I don't think it'll work... I personally wouldn't try it I'd just wait till they sort the RIL out

Would I be able to restore from my Infinity rom backup just fine? Considering the RFS/EXT4 mess..
EDIT: Restoring from Infinity had no problems, I guess the ICS is already on EXT4 anyway

<---Well aside from all that I gotta say I fell in love with ICS when I ran this rom. It was freaking amazing. I no longer had the urge to buy the galaxy nexus, not like I can afford it. I will be more than satisfied with my charge when this is finish. I ran this for half of the day and would've kept running it if I was forced to take it off (ie boyfriend :-/)
I thank you so freaking much JT! Looking forward to your continuation of this rom.

Cool, Don't really use HDMI anyway.

First of all I want to thank every single one of you that has supported the Charge. I really hope that we get to see a stable and working ICS soon. I have supported the devs that I have stayed with on this phone and will continue to support others who I choose to follow. Always remember that we NEVER start with a stable release. We fall down so we can learn how to pick ourselves up. Being that said, I say keep kicking @$$ at developing on phones that manufacturers give up on in the beginning. I don't know about you but 90% of us use our phones for at least a year or better because of the contracts. Donations will continue if you keep on developing on this ICS build. THANK YOU!!!
Let me know if you need anything and I will do what I can to help.

Hello developers !!!
I want to introduce you first experimental KERNEL. It's stock source, and stock ramdisk., nothing done to it, just to proof build process.(it's working and booting)
It is not public release,it's only for testers!!!
I'm not working on this kernel, I simply uploading.
So if you do not know what to do, just close this thread.
The person who working on THIS KERNEL "famous professional developer- mr.Morfic
I'm sure many people who are coming from Nexus S, VIBRANT, already recognize him and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrB6qpmNwg
official helpers for testing :jlevy73, avetny.
PLEASE BEFORE YOU WILL PLAY Always do a backup in ClockworkMod Recovery first!
As I said this is the first experimental, so it's gonna be *NOT FLASHABLE*
So extract ZIP and replace files manually..
WE dont need you help we need a COMMENTS !
You da man.
Care to give any details?

Oh, Im sure that once CM7 is out, there will be plenty of other ports, but I guess all we need right now is the GB kernel... and that will probably come with CM7 ... But it would be nice to get a custom kernel, hopefully UV, so our phones can play nice

It's works pretty well for it's early stage. I have it on a Captivate now and it does have some functionality. No camera, GPS seems borked, but 3G and WiFi do function. Things are looking up folks. We may actually see some Ice Cream on our phones! The Movie Studio doesn't work (for me at least, not sure about others), but it's a welcome feature once fixed. Something Android has been missing since the start. This could prolly be Hellraised, but I'd wait until more kinks are worked out. It's very Alpha at this point.
If all these other phones are getting ics ported b4 us then hope might as well be lost We don't have as much dev interest as all these other phones do.

Well, if we wait for the cappy or i9000 to get it first, basicly our infuses is the same device, just bigger and a tiny bit different. Then linux could probably port it pretty easily.
Wow!
That was fast. Infuse Kids....I think we're gonna see ICS before AT&T blesses GB!
And that would be a shame. I'm very excited. I'd love to try this out on my wife's Cappy for a spin. Will a nandroid backup successfully restore the custom GB Rom she's rocking now if I flash ICS?
WTF my old phone gets ICS before my current newer phone. I hope we get something soon.
I tried messing with it today changing the boot.img and some egl and lib files...havent got it to boot yet....im thinking we r gonna need a kernel with modified mtd partitions before we get a patially working port..

There have been more that have been locked as off topic. It seems like every day there's a new topic about someone porting ICS for another phone.
And this doesn't really mean ICS for us any more than the I9000 port did.

Yeah, I'm close to getting something running I think, but I'm not working on it again until Monday, sorry. I don't have a Linux dev system set up at home to work on it with, so I stick to working on it at work and I'm out until Monday.
Believe you me, ICS is worth the wait. I have it running on my Captivate.
I'm just wondering if there are any devs working on this. I know there were a couple working on it, but what happened? Did it get discontinued? Thanks guys
Yes, people are working on it. In the meantime, be thankful for what we do have instead of whining about what we don't. That's the reason for the season.
Yeahh, i'm definitely whining. Sorry for asking questions, maybe my post shoulda gone in the Q&A section.. oh wait.
Well, the title of the thread said it all. I didn't mean to sound like an ass, it's just that we have great devs putting out great work right now, and still people are unhappy. Anyway, yes people are working on it and it has not been discontinued as far as I know.
Just move on to a new phone. That's what I did. Sgs4g will never have CM.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It will. It just takes time- things have to be done first before CM will magically be officially supported. A working kernel, which is in the works, has to be done first.
It really takes time. No one ever thought that the Droid 2, X (though nightly's) or the Motorola Cliq (worst phone ever built) would see a Cyanogen build. As far as if anyone is working on it though... thats kinda an unknown. Krylon360 had a thread over on rootswiki about it, but there hasn't been a real update on status... he is a busy person with other priorities quite frankly, namely work, something I am sure we can all relate to.
Once the kernel is finished, it will happen. Truth be told, you are not missing much though. I had a Nexus One for a year, and quite frankly, Valhalla is a much more stable rom. Cyanogen's updates slowed down massively (people got jobs), and in comparison, individuals that develop here are for more committed and update much more frequently. The best thing you can do is attempt to learn how to do these things yourself, donate to the individuals that do, or be willing to subject your phone to the most horrendous of builds in order for everyone else to get a better build.
P.S. These 'buy a new phone' comments get really old. That's exactly what a company like Motorola or Samsung would want- for us to buy a new phone to get an upgrade. The Galaxy S 4g is an amazing phone, I personally see no reason to buy any other phone on the market. Android is supposed to be open-source and modified, we can't do that by simply walking away.
Everyone has their own tastes. The N1 has really old hardware compared to sgs4g. Google pushed the GB update to them, but it didn't really make much of a difference. So cyanogen had to make an official for them. Also, when we get CM7, we will like it more than usual because people who get things all the time don't appreciate. We waited so long, that it will be beautiful.
So the CM7 for Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't work on the Epic 4g Touch?
I'll keep saying this. You want a dev to work on something, show him some appreciation by sending him a few bucks so he can get a coffee for all those hours spent coding. Trust me, I've gotten donations before and it's a great motivator to get stuff out to people
Personally I'm glad there's no cm7 for the sgs4g. I don't like it and it seems like whenever cm7 hits a phone everyone stops making cool roms and starts basing everything off it. If we had cm7 we might of never got octane!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I feel the frustration that the devs have to put up with in figuring out what Samsung will not tell us. They instead announce they will not support existing Galaxy S phones because there is not enough memory to run touch wiz and ICS. Well, my opinion to that is, provide an API to existing proprietary drivers so the code can be tailored accordingly.
Releasing the source is a plus, but the hidden stuff is what stalls development.

Btw on rootzwiki there are sometimes different things and tid bits of info.... Too the op if you really are already behind it, meaning ics, just donate because the work the devs put it including themers, testers, rom developers,and tweakers is worth it even if we don't get it... I donate sparingly because I'm currently unemployed and somewhat frugal when it comes to giving free money, but his work and others has inspired me to do things myself, like theming... It's not for everyone as any aspect it's time consuming like people wouldn't believe, but it's satisfying... Time = $$$$$ so if you want to maybe push him along and show him the charge is worth his time and others drop a donation.... Don't say well if you do this, when almost every dev for android is worth more than just a few empty promises of donations.... Just donate and they will provide you with information, help, tweaks, colorful and some not so colorful themes, and roms for your pleasure.... I'm sure they get slack for the time put on by there irl friends and family ad I just started and Im already getting it.... So again just donate.... Empty promises never inspired anyone...

Can you please let us know how is the rom working?
Home button and camera doesn't work on the ICS build. It APPEARS much faster than 2.3.5 (a lot less stuttering for me but I wasn't playing with any special builds there....)
the installer.zip auto reformats you to ext4.
It shows extreme promise for an alpha build IMHO.
I'm thinking of building a ROM of sorts, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in it.
The ROM would basically be what i run on a daily basis. A combination of a ROM and Kernel that work well together, with my own tweaks, changes, and settings baked right into it.
The idea would be that you would flash the rom, then forget you ever did. No changing frequency, no profiles, no Undervolting, no flashing other kernels, just the ROM and nothing else needed. (and I'd discourage trying it)
I would change UV settings to work on most phones, and a small overclock (most likely a 1.1 or 1.2Ghz), as well a stock Frequency/Voltage version. and each version would be stable enough to use as a daily driver.
It would most likely be a 'Flavor of the week' kind of thing, and I'll most likely change the base rom/kernel somewhat frequently (like once a month at most) to what I'm using that's stable.
So, does this sound good to anyone, or am i building for a demographic that's not there?
I would use it if u make it for the photon

sounds like a great idea... in this trend of rapidly developing roms, a stable rom with recent source changes for a change is great to fallback to.
Do you have any rom development experience? where would you rate your skill level at?

Sounds like a really good idea, I myself sometimes get sick of constantly flashing & re- setting up my phone the way I like it, a good long term rom with everything would be awesome. How bout using the new 2.3.4 stock as a base?

ive been programming in C/java for about 4 years now, (2nd year programming student currently) and ive been building my personal roms from source for about 6 months, and in the past few months ive started actively changing source code, integrating parts from some kernels and ROMs, and adding things to system apps (like voltage control and frequency mod in the settings.apk)
however, on the other hand, i do have fairly large gaps in my knowledge. i only barely know how to use github, and i haven't really dealt with the Linux/android kernel much before this.
honestly, on a scale from 1-10 (1=android user, 10= developer like Whitehawkx/Morfic) id say about 7.

Wow, i don't even rate myself that high, lol. I say go for it, the more devs we got the better.

i feel im a very competent programmer, but there are thing i am pretty much oblivious too. outside of android I've got a good portfolio of programs and source, but when it comes to android, I'm still learning. (and i definitely feel your more knowledgeable than me)
Do it one more person helping the community isn't a bad thing. You're obviously knowledgeable enough. Once you start playing with it and have a base crowd that likes what you do you'll get further involved and make a great rom in my eyes. You're willing to help everyone and give a very insightful solution to most and all types of questions.

I agree with the above, but be weary of the people who destroy devs by all the nagging and begging.
Anticipating the arrival of this ROM!
I would do it. If you can base it off of stock with some cm7 improvements that would be cool, like with weapon g2x. I was using weapon till I switched to HFP.

I will always support you, you always have long detailed responses to everyones questions and if anyone complains about your rom, let me know we will have a flame war. We don't want to lose a dev. Also I'm sure the other devs I'll help you out if you have any questions because they are all amazing people IMO. Go for it! Even if no one uses it, its a learning experience for you. You have nothing to lose

I personally like playing around with all the different kernels, etc..., but this would be perfect for my wife's phone, so I would definitely be interested

well ok then, it looks like im gonna go for it. thanks for all the support!
it will be ICS, and im still not sure about what ROM and Kernel i will base it off of (i still want to get permission from the original devs first).
keep a lookout for it coming soon(ish)!
ive also asked a mod to lock this (i dont want a hype machine happening that i cant live up to!)
locked as requested!
