ICS Ported to Captivate

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324831
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.
Regardless, I have some time off finally, so I'm working on something.

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.

[q] miui 4.0.1 p999?

So what's the deal with this galnet ICS for G2x "Galnet ICS 2.11.26". Screenshots show android version 4.0.1. Is it legit? Not quite understanding why everyone's not all over this thing if it is, which leads me to ask this question to begin with since there's not very much info on it (that I could find).

well im running the stock galnetmiui, and it seems stable enough. i cant believe ICS has been available all this time. im gonna try to slip faux123's kernal in now.

If this is it how come CM and others aren't using it to get their cameras working?

galnet is just a framework merge to ICS it doesnt have the ICS APK's, yet that is. im guessing thats why cm team hasnt used the code, cm team is probably using the ics camera APK.
also faux123's ds kernal v 048 is working fine so far.

It doesn't have much of anything from ics except a couple of things it just just has 4.0.3 in the build prop, you can do that with 2.2 builds. I don't even think it has the basics from ics in it. It is not worth the flash IMO. It is a basic miui build with some tiny modifications that are not noticeable again IMO

Yup I agree with mt3g.

Is says that it is 4.0.1 but it is very stable. I have been running it for about a week with Morfics The Destroyer 1.6ghz kernel and it is awesome. Very stable and fast. I have not had any reboots or SOD. Wifi calling works perfect as well. You will not be disappointed if you flash this rom.

Ah so it doesn't really have any of the optimizations and improvements of ICS? Just the little bits of it here and there?

From what I gathered while on it that was when it first came out, it is a flash over zip you have to install latest miui and them the ics layover (kinda like a theme for 2.3.3) not really though lol. I didn't even notice anything different at all.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

So general consensus is no this is not 4.0.1, it's just MIUI with a BS version number.

Weather it is or isn't I don't know. But you can not go by a Screenshot of the Android Version. That can be changed in the build.prop.

Not ICS... simply has some pieces stolen...
By that logic, Tsugi has "Some ICS Code" in it... as in, I used some of the images out of ICS in the theme, as well as a little xml and the screen animations. Doesn't make it ICS.

Why are they banned?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say because they falsify information in their roms most likely. Callin this 4.0.1 is completely inaccurate. Just because it has a couple of "ICS features".

If I remember right it is just the fact the galnet asked if there versions would not be put on XDA

So in other words, the latest build the dev team has put out is just an amalgamation that's only partially ICS with the rest of it being part and parcel Gingerbread, huh?
Really looking forward to seeing hardware acceleration. I couldn't tell ya whether it'll really be the next thing since sliced bread.
Any word on whether this might allow us to run games more smoothly? I think I read somewhere that it's also a matter of developers writing code into their games that make better use of Nvidia's GPU? With the Tegra 2 being a CPU that's bound to age in 2012, I have to doubt that ICS will help us in games.

[Q] ICS for Infuse?

So my friend has a captivate, and he has a Stock ICS rom. I was just wondering the possibility of a Stock ICS rom for the infuse. I know there are Roms that are suppose to look like ICS, but they aren't even based off of ICS. My question is, is there a STOCK ICS rom based on android 4.0, and if not what is the likelihood of there being one?

I don't know why don't you use the search button and find out for us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

I did, and found nothing, except for the fact that all the ones that say ICS are just themed to ICS and not even based of ICS

Or you could look at the 5th thread in this section

You mean the HellRaiser? How would this solve my problems exactly, I can't find any ICS roms for galaxy devices except the one for captivate, but it says in order to do the captivate roms, the rom needs to be based off samsung gingerbread. A true ICS Rom would be based off of Ice Cream Sandwich.

No. The one that has the title is anyone planning a custom ics rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Oh, sorry. thanks. That does suck though. I think it would be a great idea. All these developers just don't want to do it I guess. I probably would have donated to someone who would do it. Ahh well. I guess the infuse gets no love.

its not because the devs havnt tried from what i understand its a kernal problem

GuidoZebra,
Read thru the general section and the Q/A section.
There are multiple posts on this topic. TONS.
Then you will understand why there won't be any ICS on the Infuse, short of a miracle.
Go back a few months.
Zeus 5.2 ICS is as close as you'll get.

You don't want ICS on this phone. Even if someone does manage it, it won't be the experience you're hoping for. It will be choppy, buggy and alot of functions won't work. Maybe some super-dev will have a breakthrough this year, but it will be a long time before anything usable, much less fully working is available. So don't hold your breath. Move on. Spend time with the wife and kids. Take the dog to the park. Try to enjoy life.

Repetitive Question but who has the best Gingerbread ROM?

I only ask this because I do not have a Skyrocket. My friend does, I rooted it a while back and now he said his ROM is giving him problems. I would normally flash and mess around with the ROM to see how it responds, but like I said I dont have one. I know ICS is fairly new so I dont want that. I need a stable, fast, good battery Gingerbread ROM. I will look in the dev section and do what i normally do, check options, and the last few pages of the thread, but any referrals are greatly appreciated without the normal hate. I will be going to his house prob thursday to hook him up, esp with the throttle trick as well

Quickwiz is probably one of the quickest roms IMO

I did not get a chance to flash a lot of different roms on GB mainly because I started late in the game on my skyrocket. But, I loved Mod's Stock MOD 2.

RE: Best ROM
True enough, they are all great! but for a noob who flashed all the roms the least buggiest so far is SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 for me anyways.
Again there are different flavors to choose from and it also depends on what you use on your phone. Some bugs may show up days later.

All these guys are right cause there really is no right or wrong answer to your question. When it comes to custom roms its all about personal preference. What someone else really loves you may find out you don't like. So my advice is become a flashaholic like most of us here are and start flashing until you find that perfect custom rom that fits your needs and wants. Just remember to make a backup of your current rom before you start flashing anything that way you can always go back to what you have now. Oh and just so you will know design gears is about to release a new ics leak for the skyrocket soon according to his twitter account so you may want to wait and see what that is all about and the I'm sure plenty of custom roms will be based off of it soon as well... happy flashing...

It would probably be better to be more specific. A better question would be "which are roms are the most stable" or "which roms are the fastest" or maybe "Which rom has the most features?"
I personally am also trying to decide which rom to go with. I have a friend who owns a Skyrocket and he wants me to root the phone then flash a custom rom, so I'm looking into this. I think I'll probably flash Nexus Mod just because it looks like AOSP. Like many others, it has carrier IQ disabled and has been debloated.

+1 to sky ics for stability (iv flashed the aosp apps patch) it was giving me fc's on other roms but none on this one
nexusmod ics was good but the rom seems to start facing issues after a week of use (might be user error but others were also experiencing this) and also the rom has no further development as MOD has been bricked and has also moved to cm9.
AOKP - great rom that has just surfaced with some solid devs at work still has a few minor issues but this one will become a gem
cm9 - same as above, great dev support but it still has a few minor kinks to be worked out

The above post is right especially about cm and aokp
CM9 Skyrocket

The newish Slim ICS ROM is pretty good too. Gives you some AOSP apps and seems pretty stable and super snappy for me so far. But as others have said, just look at some of the ones with higher traffic and more recent posts and see what you like. Embryo is a nice one i you want a more stock exoerience. Dev is super responsive too. With the new leak and impending (hopefully) official release, they'll all be rebased anyway. TiBu Pro and nandroid are your friends.
