Alien ICS provides a concocted stew of TouchWiz, and ICS for your Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Samsung's TouchWiz functionality stays intact, but Alien ICS brings a blast of speed to the experience. There are very few theme changes with this ROM.Official Beta Tester signature:

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.

Do you have an SD partition? I think you have to have one for this ROM, didn't think to test without an SD partition. A2SD is baked in. It would be great if someone could confirm this, cuz I don't wanna delete my partition lol.

Well in SS the a2sd version will still boot with no partition but it will reboot upon installing a app.
His md5 could be bad or maybe not a full wipe. Its hard to tell based on info provided

If you guys have problems with a ROM: BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE AND IT IS MORE LIKELY TO GET SOLVED. It's not just my ROMs we are talking about, we can't help you if you are vague. And logcats are the most helpful thing if you have a problem that is not in the OP. We are here to help but you have to help us to help you.

Well put, I used to hate someone saying this is broke and leaving it at that. Because 75% of the time its user specific or created so its hard for us to track down what happened. The standard for reporting bugs should be
The security type of phone eg s-on/s-off
Wipe process( most important part of flashing)
If the md5 was checked and matched. If anything else was restored in recovery or flashed with the ROM. But that's my opinion
Sent from a freaked out Jellybean
Yes definitely. The more relevant information provided, the easier to diagnose the issue. Then formulate a solution.
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11
Thanks so much for this, much different than the stock GingerBread I just replaced.
I've only been using Android about 6 months and was running a rooted stock kernel and dodgekernel, but I have to say this build feels much quicker and looks much slicker and has a very nice kernel built in.
I don't know if I was just behind the times or what but is that really just a skin/look change on the Play Store? It's extremely different and very nice looking to what I was using before (and about 10x faster).
I did run in to a couple issues, that are probably just user issues.
I've reinstalled all the apps I was used to but noticed that starting up a navigation, or music file or inputting an address doesn't bring up the prompt I'm used to of "Which application should we open this with". In fact I cannot find where any default tasks can be assigned anywhere. Whenever I go to manage applications, "Launch by default" always says "No defaults set." for every single application.
Another oddity that I think is related to this, when I hit the 'action'/'smart' button my bluetooth it just goes 'dut-dut' and does nothing.
I'm pretty sure Voice Commands is installed, but it won't come up and now I've installed My MotoSpeak and that will not respond either, and I think this is because I cannot choose that button as a task and nothing is set up by default.
Thanks for the help and the nice build.
EDIT: I just noticed that the CM10 roms says that "BT call audio." could be a problem. I know that is a whole different animal, but could that be an issue here as well? Its odd, my BT will play media music fine, but will not play phone/call audio correctly, just hear a buzzing.

There are ICS/JB themes you can download, but some of the theming is within the ROM. As for BT calling, I am only able to test BT by sending files, I no longer own a headset (My Planatronics took a ride in the washer).... Speed is what I shoot for on all my ROMs
Also... Did you restore data when you restored your apps? If you did, reflash and restore apps without data, it might fix your problem.

Absolutely agree :good: . A Fresh CLean install when first flashing a Rom will avoid a lot of issues. It may take more effort, and time. But it usually gives the best results.

I actually didn't know there was an option for that, how would you go about doing that for future reference?
Whenever I run a new rom I wipe data 3 times, cache and davlik and start fresh.
I don't use that many apps anyway, just some key ones every day for the drive, so only takes about a couple hours to get set back up and much of that time is just experiencing the new rom and finding what's different.
Yeah speed is incredible, I mean my old kernel was ok when run at 1.5Ghz, but that stock htc launcher or whatever 2.3.5 had would often 'spin' for 5-10 seconds when just trying to switch apps or multitask. There were other instances too, just felt like I/O speed was much different.
I'm sure it helped to not have any of the Sprint/HTC cruft to deal with, but especially navigating apps in the launcher, multitasking and browsing Play Store are beyond incredible, basically instant. My wife finally played with the new rom a bit and said she thought it was just 'too fast' compared to her 4s, she just "didn't like it". I have no idea what that means, but I for one love the speed. I don't need it to be slow to convince me it's working .
This is also my first time using link2sd, I didn't know about it with my old rom and was perpetually with ~40mb left (and a full SD). My trial of the rom and adding sd-ext was because I finally upped to a 32gb and decided to look around while I was upgrading.
As for exact issues: Pressing the 'smart' button on my Bluetooth headset does nothing, getting me 2 quick beeps.
Voice/phone audio through my BT will not work. It's odd because all media, music, text to speech, everything else works fine, and the microphone works fine for voice recognition, etc.
But when on the phone, it sounds a bit like when a phone is half off the hook, a steady, kinda staticy tone and every now and then a juggling/clunk sound (reminds me when someone on the other end played with hanging or half hanging up the receiver). I can switch to headset or speaker while in the call and both are fine, and bluetooth goes silent while in the other modes. It's crazy though because I will hear my gps speak to me overtop of the staticy 'lack of phone' while on BT.
The first issue I fixed: After much internet searching I found other users on ICS experiencing the same issue with the button and they suggested downloading Voice Control Test. It sounds odd, because I've downloaded all sorts of stuff and they work but I have to touch the screen to start them. But just as was reported on the website I found it on:
1) Install Voice Control (Test)
2) Start it up
3) Press the button on your BT
4) MAGIC, suddenly your phone brings back the old Gingerbread option asking which App you'd like to use to complete this action and you can choose to pick a default too, my choices were Voice Control Test or My Motospeak, for some reason stuff like iris and jeannie were missing, but regardless, I hit default, My MotoSpeak and now my 'Smart' button works fine.
5) Un-install Voice Control, button keeps working fine.
Also I haven't tested entering a GPS location yet, but I was playing with some other apps and again was prompted for that other action. This might have reenabled the old prompting for various commands somehow.
Also, I noticed that there was no option for 'Voice Command', which most forums seem to suggest is the old 'built in' app that ran when you pressed the BT button. I'm not sure, but that basic issue might just be that no default app was installed to begin with, but it is annoying that installing something like My Motospeak doesn't help and there's no way to manually set this to the BT button 'action'. Maybe having something lightweight like Voice Command in the rom by default would be a nice feature, the same way you have that light term emulator there by default.
Any thoughts at all about phone audio over BT? It seems so odd since media works and seems more difficult, like maybe an issue with how the dialer is handing off or passing the audio stream to the BT. Maybe there are other 'dialers' in play store, I'm not that familiar, but this seems like it'd be in a common piece in the rom that handles phone audio.
For now I'm going to try to get a voip/sip set up and see if that works, might be nicer anyway because then I can use data while on the 'phone' finally on Sprint.
Thanks again for the work on the rom.

I can switch to headset or speaker while in the call and both are fine, and bluetooth goes silent while in the other modes. It's crazy though because I will hear my gps speak to me overtop of the staticy 'lack of phone' while on BT.
The first issue I fixed: After much internet searching I found other users on ICS experiencing the same issue with the button and they suggested downloading Voice Control Test. It sounds odd, because I've downloaded all sorts of stuff and they work but I have to touch the screen to start them. But just as was reported on the website I found it on:
1) Install Voice Control (Test)
2) Start it up
3) Press the button on your BT
4) MAGIC, suddenly your phone brings back the old Gingerbread option asking which App you'd like to use to complete this action and you can choose to pick a default too, my choices were Voice Control Test or My Motospeak, for some reason stuff like iris and jeannie were missing, but regardless, I hit default, My MotoSpeak and now my 'Smart' button works fine.
5) Un-install Voice Control, button keeps working fine.
Also I haven't tested entering a GPS location yet, but I was playing with some other apps and again was prompted for that other action. This might have reenabled the old prompting for various commands somehow.
Also, I noticed that there was no option for 'Voice Command', which most forums seem to suggest is the old 'built in' app that ran when you pressed the BT button. I'm not sure, but that basic issue might just be that no default app was installed to begin with, but it is annoying that installing something like My Motospeak doesn't help and there's no way to manually set this to the BT button 'action'. Maybe having something lightweight like Voice Command in the rom by default would be a nice feature, the same way you have that light term emulator there by default.
Any thoughts at all about phone audio over BT? It seems so odd since media works and seems more difficult, like maybe an issue with how the dialer is handing off or passing the audio stream to the BT. Maybe there are other 'dialers' in play store, I'm not that familiar, but this seems like it'd be in a common piece in the rom that handles phone audio.
For now I'm going to try to get a voip/sip set up and see if that works, might be nicer anyway because then I can use data while on the 'phone' finally on Sprint.
Thanks again for the work on the rom.

If you are using Titanium Backup it restores app data by default, there are three options near the top of the screen when choosing apps to restore... Thanks for the input tho, it's something I don't really think about because I no longer have a BT headset. I'll have to look into it... Too fast? Lol there's no such thing.
After rooting I have noticed that after a while when I open the camera app, it no longer takes pics when tapping on the screen. I can pull up the menu and try to hit the camera button, that also does nothing, same with even the back button. This is a huge deal breaker, if I can't fix this the phone is going back.
Rooted apps running:
Titanium Backup (de-bloat)
Xposed
G3 Tweakbox
AutoHide Soft Keys
If someone could recreate this and help me out that would be awesome! until then back to the Note 3! Please note that it takes a few times of opening the camera app for this to occur, also after rebooting the phone it seems to work for one or two pics once in a while.

Have you tried disabling all modules on Xposed and tried every tweak one at time? are you using an app for the Autohide Soft Keys or are you using the built in feature?
I don't have problems with the camera and have similar configuration.

I am using an app for the auto hide. For some reason the stock hide does not allow you to hide them in apps like Messages, or in the launcher. kinda dumb those are where I want it to hide the most.
First off, it is likely something that you have loaded (or removed) since rooting that has caused the issue.
What apps did you de-bloat? It is possible that you removed or froze something that is required for normal camera operations.
Do you have any of the "Camera Tweaks" selected in the G3 TweaksBox module (if so, I recommend that you deselect them and reboot).
If that doesn't work, I would suggest turning off and removing the "autohide softkeys" module. That isn't a common module for G3 users and it may be interfering with the normal operation of the phone.
Second off, you shouldn't return the phone because you messed it up. You were willing to root and modify your phone, so it is on you to fix it (especially when it is so easy to do). Worse case scenario, you should return it back to the original stock image and start over. For more information on how to do this, please read over this thread....... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647
If none of this works, you return the phone back to stock and it still doesn't work right, then it might be a hardware issue. If this is the case, then you should return the phone. But only after exhausting all other avenues and only after returning the phone back to stock and testing to see if the problem still exists. You have to return the phone back to stock in order to return it anyway.
Here is a question, when you are in the camera app do you have the menu up? Start with teh simplest things, rule them out and work your way up to find the problem.
If it looks like this, you have to hit the camera icon
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If it looks like this, screen touch
Rooting does cause issues with the camera. I haven't done anything but root and the camera doesn't allow for the touch to take a picture and it also messes with the menu and edit options. As a matter of fact, if you remove or disable Google+ you have NO edit options. You can find a third party app to use in place of this, but it does mess up the camera edit functions.

I have the same problem as you, and I'm fairly sure it's because of the auto hide soft keys. Something goes wrong when it is enabled, but disabling it makes the camera app work just fine. I've reverted to using the google camera app, but it sometimes takes a few seconds to snap a photo...
Hey guys.
When I receive a notification and it pops up as a headsup notification I can't press it or pull down the notification bar. The only thing I can do is swipe it away.
By HeadsUp notifications I mean the new notification card that appears when in full screen.

I don't think there is a quick fix , if there is i don't know what it is. What i can tell you it affected me, the app would work but it would freeze the top of my screen, just under the status bar and the only temp. fix would be reboot the phone, but the problem comes back . Only thing i would suggest, is don't use the app till the developer updates the app and has the problem fixed . If you don't want to wait , you can keep restarting your phone , every time the bug happens , which is annoying

But for me the problem isn't just in a specific app. It's system-wide I think.
For example when the low battery warning pops up I can't even press the button to turn on battery saver.

yes the freeze at the top of the screen , is there all the time , which the headsup app is causing part of your top screen to not be responsive to touch. Try turning the headsup app off , stop it , don't have it running. Once the app is no longer running and is off , reboot your device , then see if the problem comes back or not. ** Don't use the app at all once you reboot **

ya that is a bug with headsup app , turn the headsup app off , dont uset it . That is whats causing you to not able to press the card . Don't use the headsup app no more , wait till it updates , then try it again
In having the same issue, can't action the notifications, just swipe them away
Lol. This thread is hilarious. There is no "heads up app". My heads up notifications work fine. How did you install 5.0? I installed via fastboot, flashing the images one at a time, while rebooting the bootloader in between each image. I have none of the problems all these people in different threads are complaining about. Everything works perfectly, battery life is greatly improved from kitkat, no issues. Reinstall that way, cleanly, erase everything first, bootloader, radio, system, cache, userdata, boot, everything. Then install all the new images. The Google script for 5.0 is buggy, and these dirty installs are giving people problems.

I too, have this problem, and I did a clean install using the Nexus root toolkit.
This problem disappears after I do a reboot, and resurfaces when I get a message from either hangouts or messenger (so far). This bug doesn't appear even after I repeatedly call myself (because I still can decline or accept the call), but only appears when I get a heads up notification of messenger or hangouts.
Anybody manage to solve it yet?
I've got the same issue. Very frustrating, doesn't work even after reboot .I also started with a clean install via factory Image

Is there any pattern to it? Like I mentioned in my post, this problem only seems to pop up once I get notifications from Hangouts or Messenger. Calls seem to be fine (after a reboot).
I can assure that same bug presists on nexus 4. Flashed everything cleanly.
I have this issue too. Its incredibly annoying! Anyone found a fix? I installed using nexus root toolkit
It seems all of you with this problem have installed using a toolkit. Try a clean install, erase everything, using fastboot. And stop using toolkits, and wondering why you have problems and bugs.

Thanks for the support - I've been looking into getting certain features to work with different manufacturers. I'm leading to believe mfc like XiaoMi and HuaWei use different lockscreen frameworks that cause the AOSP wallpaper flags to fail. Hopefully in the near future I'll find a solution.
Hey OP great work! ?
One suggestion I have for improvement is to have night mode feature where it only takes dark images at a specific time interval.

Possible BAD Bug.
Pixel 3XL here, not unlocked and not rooted...just pure android with Feb Patch.
Downloaded and installed. Let it change my wallpaper a few times. Then hit change once but then hit the home key during the change....I guess it was going through the process of changing the wallpaper as my wallpaper went from a graphic to black...and then the whole screen on my Pixel is black. Nothing. Reboot, google boot screen shows...then bam, BLACK screen. You can tell it thinks it's displaying a screen (lock screen, unlock with fingerprint gives haptic, etc) but it's all black, no words graphics nothing. Rebooted into Safe Mode....still solid black but says "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner. Eventually just had to factory reset via Recovery and phone is working perfectly fine now.
Not saying it was your app, but yours was the only thing I had downloaded in over a week....and I was literally using it when it happened. Still though, love the app!

Damn I had heard of this with another wallpaper app but this is a first with mine. My deepest apologies if you lost any data. I'm putting this first priority to make sure it doesn't happen again.
My guess is SystemUI ran out of memory and crashed, and sometimes it takes up to 20-30 seconds for that service to get restarted - hence the black screen and device still responding to the fingerprint.
I'm going to PM you so we can try and figure out more of the details.

Same thing happened to my phone last night on Pixel 3 XL . Changed the wallpaper then screen went black and phone rebooted to recovery screen saying " Cant load Android system, your data may be corrupt. Giving me 2 options Reboot or Factory data reset. Rebooted like dozen times even in safe mode but no luck. In the end i had to factory reset and loosing my important data as there was no way to backup.
Not being rude but there is some really bad bug. Other than that the App is really awesome.

I've been researching this issue over the past few days and I've come to the conclusion that this is an issue with Android's SystemUI, specifically with devices that have updated via OTA.
As much as I want to think that I can fix this, I have noticed this issue mentioned in every major theming service and wallpaper app and has to do with how AOSP variants handle SystemUI changes. This app actually doesn't touch any part of device storage or the system partition at all, Android system does all the work and my app just sends the request to do it.
In the meantime I've tried to mitigate any possible causes by limiting maximum image sizes and setting strict resource management for the app.
Changing the wallpaper more often on these OTA-updated devices seems to increase the chances of encountering this issue, but a Google Product Expert gave the advice to use Rescue OTA to prevent having to factory restore, found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz6x7k-VkpUJMlZ1aEliVnhMOHM/view
@nightfireblaze8, @LiquidHonesty, @cheemacool,
Were you guys using the stock Dark Mode/Automatic theming on your devices (for the Settings app, quick settings drawer)? I've been in talks with a Google team member and we're narrowing down similar factors.
