PyroIce Tips, Tricks, and Help Guide. -Please Post Your Own Too :D-

I've made PyroIce my new Daily, and we all know it has some bugs. So I thought I'd start a thread to help Unclutter the fourm.
Here's the first thing I've found out.
- Wi-Fi Networks that are WEP/PSK locked can be connected to without having to Manualy put the name in.

Nova Launcher is a Great ICS Replacement Launcher. It can be downloaded from the Market. Or found on XDA as a flashable Zip. That makes it a system app, and allows widgets to be accessed from the launcher.
It has homescreen effects, drawer effects. Custom Grid Sizes, and all widgets are resizeable. Its the ADW of ICS, and is better than CM9's Launcher for 4.0.1.

Just saying that Nova Launcher is alreaddy included in the flashable rom

Is it buggy?
I want to install this on my wife's phone, but she has no appreciation for the great work being done here. I would rather not put something on her phone that is going to cause me grief.
Also, is the user interface the same?

to be honest, its a great rom. for people that know how to deal with beta roms. if your lookin for a grief free rom, id use another one. i use this but i dont mind the small issues and can deal with them. the user interface is ICS, so the same as ICS yeah? same and gingerbread.. no, lil different. more user friendly i think.

New release is wifey friendly... I think mine could handle it and she has to gripe for a couple months b4 she asks me to root her phone....

Good, the only reason I won't root my girls phone is cause I don't wanna fix it.
Does anyone know if you can unlink the notification volume and ringer volume in ICS?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk

first off, i think this rom is simply great, considering that ics is on very few devices right now, and that our phone is a bit slow in general with development (nothing against all the devs on this phone, cuz what they have made are all really good)
two questions:
does anyone know why the camcorder app is limited to 720p recording? it's definitely not a big issue, but this camera is considered to be one of the best, seems like a shame to waste it.
also, any way to fix the htc dialer showing up in the call and to answer a call you have to unlock first?
how's everyone's battery life doing? mine's much better than when i had cm7 on it

I was looking at 1080p but for some strange reason libstagefright camerasource detects that 1080p is not available. Coudlnt binary hack that, and no idea why that happens.
You can use fullscreen caller id to let you receive calls without unlocking, or can use widgetlocker from market with security set off.

gotcha ill switch over to the non sense version now, thanks for the quick reply.

Posting here because I'm still a "New" user and cant post in dev form.
I'm running PyroIce Sense and I cant view any flash websites. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried re-installing Flash, Dolphin (wont work on stock browser as well), and reflashed the rom.
Any ideas?

Try opera mobile - proper flash support is one of their selling points. Unsure if it'll help, but worth a shot - mobile, not mini.

If i enter full screen browser hangs. if i zoom in, it will play, but it's very choppy with elements of my wallpaper mixed in, sometimes it's the notifications bar that draws itself into the flash. It's very odd.
thanks for the help! (loving this rom BTW)

ICS style on ANY ROM

This may be old news for a lot of a people, but since I can't find any mention of it in the G2x Forums, then I figured there were probably still enough people who don't know about it to warrant a new thread.
If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )

thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!

I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

Widgets are working for me. Just not in the ICS style of pulling them from the app drawer, which is not a huge deal for me.

Only if it had lock screen gesture and delete/uninstall apps directly from the app drawer. The two things that won't let me go of the Golauncher.

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***

Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!

Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!

I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.

The jelly bean update is nice.... People don't seem to like the search bar but I think it's cool

Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket ICS Issues

Hello everyone. I have a few questions of which I'm trying to get resolved. Today I upgraded my phone to Ice Cream Sandwich and I've noticed a few issues. First, the icons on my phone such as the messaging icon, phone icon and camera icon look exactly the same as they did before I upgraded it. I've noticed from photos online that with ICS they look different. Like the phone icon is blue, and the messaging icon looks different. Is there something wrong or is it that the icons were not changed on the Galaxy S II Skyrocket? Also, when I go to the applications screen where all my applications are, it still makes you scroll to the right or left to see the different pages of apps. I thought that they changed it to where you scrolled up and down instead of left to right. My phone has also been changing my home screen wallpaper on its own. (before the update and after still) If anyone can answer my questions, I'd be deeply appreciated! Thanks again! Nicci

Note: I haven't tried official stock ics or the stock leaks. I am on Sky ICS with official rogers ics base
It doesn't sound like any real problems are occurring. Icons can be changed through replacement launchers such as Apex or Nova. I am not sure about the messaging app color. As for app drawer scrolling, this should be able to be changed in settings if u prefer vertical scrolling over horizontal. These aren't actual issues but rather preferences and things that can be changed by simply taking a stroll through settings
I have no idea about the wallpaper changing on its own

I checked the touchwiz launcher (which I had only used for 5 min after flashing sky ics) and it appears u are correct in that there isn't an option to change the layout here.
Download Apex or Nova launcher (for a more pure ics feel) and u will be able to change the app drawer to your liking. It is smoother than Touchwiz and looks much nicer as well. I prefer Apex but both are good. Give them a try and also download home switcher from the play store. This way when you select a launcher as default you won't have to clear defaults to simply load another installed launcher. The one problem is the set default within the app doesn't work to my knowledge so if u want to change your default launcher you will have to clear defaults anyway.

Your information is beyond helpful! None of this was known to me beforehand. After doing research, what I'm noticing is it seems to be that most ICS features are only on the Nexus. Such as the ability to access the camera from the lock screen, and numerous other features. A lot of the features from the ICS website simply are not on this phone. Odd.

I didn't review the ics website but camera can be accessed through lock screen through the use of an app. You can use widget locker $$ (haven't used) but have read good things) or go locker (free). I used go locker previously because I would use go launcher while on gb. Go locker requires you to have go launcher downloaded in order to use btw. Another one you could try is magic locker (also haven't used).
What are these other missing features you are referring to?

I see. I'll have to go on the website again and read it over. Thing is, why are we having to download apps for these functions to work? If it is ICS, shouldn't the features be universal on every phone, and not just one? (Such as the Nexus S)

This is different then ics on the nexus because that is pure Google while the Skyrocket gets Samsung's touchwiz UI over the top.

If you are having trouble with the keyboard then go into app and clear data in android keyboard. It can be found under all apps. If this doesn't help ur messaging problem (I don't think it will) then u may want to clear data in the messaging app (as long as you are fine with loosing your mms)

[PORT][4.0+] MoToBlUr LaUnChEr eXtreme

Hopefully nobody got to porting this before
You may think this another ORDINARY launcher. You are wrong. It is far smoother, and provides a special quick settings page so that you don't have to go to the app every time you want to turn on/off GPS. Cool, right?
Works with 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, you know....
Works with phones and tablets (and phablets )
So, with those words, I bring to you MY MOTOBLUR LAUNCHER. Taken from the ATRIX HD.
If you have problems, install it as a system app, and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and fix permissions. Don't report bugs till you follow the last three steps... the first is optional (install as system).
Just the launcher

Hai all. I really like this launcher but when i try put 3d clock problem loading widget appears . Any idea how to fix that ? I try reinstall weather&3d clock but same happens. Sorry 4 my bad eng .

Thanks, works well, installed with no issue as others say, just installed the apk's, can't go wrong. Its pretty basic, like the circle clock (swipe up/down to change) and weather but that's it, nothing special, just another nova/apex/trebache etc. cheers

[Q] stack icons on desktop...?

I bricked my phone last week because I used 990 software...oops. I got it all working and in the end I now have CM7 on here.
There is only one feature I really truly miss from my old phone (it was JB I think...) and that is being able to stack icons on the desktop/homescreen. It's why I tried to upgrade this phone in the first place. Are there any apps that imitate this feature which work on our phone?

You mean make folders on the home screen with more than one app in them? That's more of a launcher thing. Try Holo Launcher. That's a good one with a ICS/JB feel that supports folders.
