Guest The_Duck Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi All, Been using CM7 for a while now and recently acquired a second Blade that I want to use to test ICS. It is currently running Clockwork 3.0.2.7... is that high enough to flash any of the ICS alpha's ? Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jeddy1 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) No you don't sound negative at all. Its just hard to converse over forum, and some things can be taken in the wrong way when its not intended so I wanted to make sure you knew what I was saying. I know you are working hard on this rom so didn't want any offense taken. Where in Ireland are you from?. Donegal here +1 for what u said watch here http://android.modac...ost__p__1877822 what he said to me just bec he complained about some symbols of the rom and i just told to him in a good way and not bad that if he dont want then dont use it. sorry about this off topic post Edit :aa and he reported me also !!

Guest herpez Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Hi. Whats the change log for this alpha 20? I think in alpha 19 it enabled multitouch. Thanks Edited January 7, 2012 by herpez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the_crevis Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi. Whats the change log for this alpha 20? I think in alpha 19 it enabled multitouch. Thanks It has multitouch as alpha 19c had, but it also contains these minor changes: - Includes superuser and busybox - Animations disabled by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the_crevis Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Updated first post (finally) :P with list of whats working/ what's not for the 7th of Jan. Please say if anything is incorrect or not included. Thanks, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 the_crevis, can you also add that maps is working for some, not for others. Also the red lines is a common question and its gone with Burstlam kernal. Its also been noted that a reboot seems to help speed up the rom, after flashing the rom and letting it load fully.

Guest targetbsp Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I tried this rom for the first time last night. It's surprisingly fast! Impressive stuff. The gallery app worked for me contrary to the first post. Oddly, opposite to the first post, my audio seemed to work fine in apps but not for calls. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l2azor Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 is rc 4 good for daily use?? my usage is calling wifi browser messaging smooth scrooling music facebook??/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) RC4 is a CM9 version. Its thread is here: http://android.modac...-9-android-403/ IMO, these ICS's are amazing, far further along than I expected and usable as a daily rom. But just because they could be used daily, I'm not sure in general that they should be. This is more because CM7 is so damn good and fast and stable atm than anything especially wrong with these ICS roms. They're great to play with for those interested in new things, which includes me, but for someone that just wants to use their phone, I'm not sure yet what they'd bring you to tempt you over from CM7. And at their current phase of development, I'm pretty sure they're not trying to do that. With previous android versions, there's been a killer feature or two to tempt me in from day 1 no matter the bugs. Froyo with its apps2sd (and other stuff I can't now remember!), then cm7 with its faster apps, consistently working root and notification led's. I've not yet found the ICS feature that makes me want to put up with the rough edges of an early rom for day to day use. It's font is really, really nice though. :D My feeling is that this one (AOSP alpha 20) has the performance edge over the current leak of CM9 Alpha 5 we have (and it's spin-off versions) but for some reason i can't hear anything in calls which rules it out as my daily rom. With the CM9 RC 4 you were after, i somehow managed to put the thing in a boot loop twice in 24 hours. It doesn't like part of how I set up my phone. Alpha 5 and this rom have been stable for me though. Edited January 8, 2012 by targetbsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha 5 and this rom have been stable for me though. I guess many of the new features in ICS are not applicable to a phone as old as the blade anyway, and the extra polish doesn't really count until all the bugs and performance issues are fixed. I think the recent ics4blade builds seem faster because they have animations turned off (which are not working very well at all). alpha 21: http://code.google.com/p/ics4blade/downloads/detail?name=ics4blade-alpha21.zip&can=2&q=#makechanges among other things, this fixes in call audio (props to skywave for that).

Most performance gained was due to a different kernel (not the one from TomG's github) but from Burstlam. There is a still a very very annoying bug with audio, it pretty much crashes the audiosystem after a call :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just before seeing I can have animations and transitions darnit lol. I just managed to setup Alpha 5.2 (which I think is TOMG's kernel?) without issue. tried to set this up using identical steps and bootlooped it again. Twice for this rom and twice for CM9 RC4. Both using Burstlams kernel so something wrong in it I guess? At least from my point of view. The alpha 5's have all been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
