ICS....not yet worth using :( - Galaxy S II General

Hi all,
I know everyone is working really hard on the ICS source for the S2 but from what I've experienced so far its not worth moving on from 2.3.6. I know this is all testing/dev work and things aren't going to run to smoothly but I dont seem to be able to get a stable ROM that works for all the below, at least one of them doesnt work or crashes all the time (I seem to find I'm CWM backup'ing/restoring and titanium apps all the time and restoring ROMS instead of using the phone lol):
- USB utilities - crashes when trying to use it
- GPS doesnt work to well - even with the agps patch applied
- MMS/3G signal doesnt work
- Nova launcher on most crash
- Messaging stops working from the dock - so you have to clear the data to re apply launcher settings
- some other stuff I cant think of right now
If I can put a tick in the box for all of the above I would be a happy man til then I'm sticking to 2.3.6 ROM's (Not moaning, just thought I would put it out there and see what everyone elses thoughts are) :-D

Stick "My First impressions with ..." in your title and you've got yourself a whole new thread for discussion!
There's soooo many threads on this subject already, did you really have to make another?

Just realized what i said...Anyway so many threads out there already regarding ICS just post in there regarding making a new thread. You only get people coming down your thread just cause you opened a new thread on a topic that is already kinda getting boring with all the crap everyday you read on here and people opening so many threads when you could just post in the ones that are already created..

thats what you get when you use a beta version. post the same in existing threads, and do read before posting another thread.

I was actually not going for.ics myself due to what I was reading... but couldn't resist anymore and have been on Darkys (Ficeto) LPB for 2 days now... I'm actually quite happy and surprised by the performance and ESP battery life... probably not.going to switch back to the bread...!

I agree. I have been trying about 5 versions of custom roms with ICS which all users would say are very good but I was very disappointed in performance, and sometimes it would freeze.

ICS.....not yet released!
Be patient now.

U guys need to do a full wipe even if the ROM says no wipe. Otherwise you will definitely get issues. I was having some before I did a full wipe. After the Wipe did a fresh install of a Custom ROM and now its awesome. Definitely can't go back to GB now

No offense.
But it's still in development. "not done"
In due time it will be sorted.
But threads like these will not speed up development.
So please have some respect for those who put in effort.

If only this forum allows cursing...

I'm using latest ICS leak and everything works and hasn't crashed/FC. Nova launcher works perfect too.

A huge squadron of super-developers are rushing your way, sir. Their mission is to make ICS work for you... TODAY. Your words are praised, and wishes are their commands, to fulfill your every need. Please, stay put, and wait for them with cookies and milk.

I agree, don't think I will use it till either samsung release it, or sammobile release a proper rom leak that samsung will later release.
Just beta versions at the moment, rather disappointing.
CM9 is supposed to be nice, but I hear too many things not working, & will they never add fm radio support?
So... For now, I'm holding out on 2.3.4

LPB (Stock rooted) has behaved extremely stable so far, in fact the modem seems to more stable in comparison to GB.
Which rom you tried and did you wipe before flashing? LPB is not perfect (after all it´s a leaked beta) but it is more than usable as daily driver

I shouldnt do this cause my mates friends uncle will kill me but.
Ive got hold of a fully working release of ics that samsung will roll out the only reason they arnt is cause they are waiting to time it for the sgs 3 release, they want to encourage people to upgrade to that and then once thats sold well will offer this upgrade for the sgs2.
There have however been reports of phones being bricked due to a time stamp in the kernel stopping the kernel from running before a given date.
So I repeat this ROM will brick your phone
flash in odin as normal

you can download it on page 7 but you will also need google bits which i am right now trying to install. but having trouble
That dev is also a member of this site, so technically it is picked up here. Just don't think ther's a thread.
yeah their are a few downloads and .apks for the htc keyboard, just seeing some problems with sms, bluetooth and data occasionally.
I know I am no dev, but would love to just see a rom with the nexus one style.
and yeah he says he comes here, but I havent seen much about it on xda, so wanted to help its progress by atleast shedding some light on it.
oo nice thanks for that

Yup. I mostly lurk here. A bit too much drama . I even forgot my original login and pass lol.
I've had to halt development on this one (mostly) as I simply don't have time. Crisis at work, and real life sucks. It's no fun spending 16 hours a day with a bluetooth in each ear glued in front of a PC. I only have time to focus on one project in my free time. I still monitor the thread at Android Central, so I help where i can.
Just wanted to add credit goes to quietcblongs for the fixes to even get this partially running. Any monkey can grab the source from git and type make in the terminal. Without his work this would just be a toy for me to play with on my Ion, and even then not everything works.
i would love to see this take off, to bad bt doesnt work because I use it everyday. i just want a 1.6 or higher on my hero with a nexus one look, (as does everyone else probably lol)
I would like to see a melding of this with the 1.6w/live wallpapers
Where is there a 1.6 with live wallpapers? I've only seen the 2.0.1...
i tried live wallpapers on this build, no go, got the phone to recognize them, was even able to install from market, just force closes on the picker, i like the launcher on this and the camera that works, but it ill not be my daily rom, going back to 2.0.1

forgot that LW was from the nexus 2.1 would have been cool though
That thing looks sliiiiick as hell..is it stable?..does the camera,phone,texting/pic mail work?...
Just played around with this ROM and it was brilliant. I couldn't get the Touch Input to work at all though, and Lockbot didn't work and forceclose. For those two reasons I had to revert back to Fresh.
But this sneak peak at something better than 1.5 was a real breath of fresh air. Thanks to all the devs.
This looks good. Going to Nandroid and flash this when I get home.
Any reports on this ROM's stability? Could this be used day to day?

if you dont use bt or headphones then yes
I must say that I am very impressed at this point. Only issue I'm having is difficulty pulling up the Market. Doesn't seem to want to load the EULA or whatever it makes you accept after every wipe while on EVDO. I switched to WIFI and it let me right in. No problem accessing protected apps either... I just installed Evernote.
Nice to have something fresh to play with for my Hero.
I would flash this rom, but I do use headphones to listen to music. I also heard that there are some MMS issues, confirm/deny?
First off, I want to say that this ROM rocks and the sheer speed alone has made me not even care about sense. I was a little hesitant on flashing this thinking I would miss sense but as stated earlier, the speed of the rom more than makes up for it.
I have been rather fortunate with my experiences using this rom. My text messages work as well as my headphones. I was suprised that my headphone jack works as I have read for the most part that headphones arent working with this rom. Looks like I have gotten lucky.
I have decided to use this as my daily driver and the only issues that I've experienced at this point is just lack of bluetooth and speaker phone which have already been mentioned and aren't deal breakers for me. Big thanks to the devs and keep up the awesome work!

CLOSED TEST - (no longer Looking) for Beta Testers with ICS Experience - BETA CLOSED!

I am closing the beta for the time being, have a handful of testers atm. It may open up again, stay tuned.
You know the name of the game. Experienced ICS users only please.
I have been putting together a frankenstein type ICS build, blending some tweaks with:
-Beta 2.5.1 i9000
-Beta2 by goodoane
-ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip by onecosmic
-Recommended using the FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip from here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount (the kernel is included in the zip)
-Also recommend the KB5 modem, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19795419&postcount=130 (this is also included in the zip, but its not flashing with the rom as of right now)
This has some framework, build.pop, and ui tweaks applied, but I've pulled back on the theming to direct my attentions to functionality.
-Keymapping is corrected
-Can mount via MTP mode
-Moutning works in recovery
-ADB and Shell both work
-SU out of the box
-Lockscreen rotates and screen rotates 360 degrees
Not working:
Must toggle mute (on then off) in order to be heard by incoming callers
GPS
Video Recording
Video Playback (buggy)
You tell me what else to add here.
Installation: (coming from another ICS build, or CM7 only!!)
-Reboot to recovery, perform a factory reset
-Go to mounts and storage and format system
-Flash the Beta2 Kernel (FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip)
-Flash the rom
-Flash your modem (no longer need to reflash the kernel)
-Fix permissions
-Reboot the phone
New Info
As you guys have read, I have been running the data data tweak from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20017090&postcount=1756 and it seems to have made things a lot more stable. No odd application issues going on anymore, although there is a bit more lag, but I think I have found a temp fix for that.
Since Friday night I have been running AutoKill Memory Optimizer, free version from the market. Its not a task killer really, but it maintains the amount of free system memory on your device, from what I understand. I am using Aggressive settings, with the Advanced settings for Memory and Battery enabled, and my phone is flying!
If you guys want, give that a shot, and let me know your results.
*******************************
So, who wants to test?
First, you promise not to release this or share it with anyone, by signing up you agree to this one term.
You should have experience with ICS, and know how to flash it and recover from a bad flash.
If you've never flashed ICS before, you definitely want to start there.
I am looking to possibly release this to the wild by the end of the week, so active testers are a big plus!
When I feel like I have enough testerss I will post that on the top of this post, just ask in here, and I will pm you a link.
I'll test, running ICS now.. I know how to do a little above basic stuff.

can you fix the problem with (i guess all ICS) people not hearing me right?
sometimes they hear me ok, sometimes too loud, or not at all.
i''ve tried to hold and resume but it doesn't fix the issue every time.
this should be a top priority for any rom.
i returned to your zen froyo. it is nice and battery holds 4-5 days for me.
thank you.

Toggling mute fixes it for me every time. I do plan on looking into that, but I'm not there quite yet.
So, no new takers?
I'll test it out... I've been on the i9000 ICS ROM for about 2 weeks now.
Link sent, thx
Ok, I'll Bite. Have experience with everything you stated above. Am currently using the Passion V5 Beta and a lot to like but still a work in progress. Let me know if I can help.
Been running it for about 30 mins, nothing to report so far. Not a big fan of the green theme though, but I will still continue to test.

Followed instructions to the T. After flashing rom, then reflashing kernel, and fixing permissions I go to reboot system now, and it keeps me in Recovery. Will keep trying and let you know. Any thing you want me to try? Could it be because I have Gingerbread bootloader?

What rom were you coming from? This should run with both bootloaders, but I'm on the stock bootloaders, so that might be it. Also, you should be coming from either CM7 or another ICS rom.
Maybe try redownloading the file and reflashing.

I would be glad to help with testing with one caveat. I need either USB tethering or wifi hotspot to be working. I use that quite frequently and would not be able to keep the ROM installed without it.

[ROM]UPDATE[HC 3.2.1][A501] Moscow's Alexandra III Rev 1.1 [27-01-12]

Moscow Desire's Android 3.2.1 Alexandra III Ver 1.1 ROM OC/UV Kernel
A501_4.483.01_EMEA_TMPL
Note: This is for the Acer A501, and not the A500. 500 users can run this, but you will need to modify the build.prop file to reflect Wifi-only. (ro.carrier=wifi-only). You can add this line near the end of build.prop. Folder System/ You can do this on your pc, before you install.
I won't fill this page with all types of fancy colors on every line, or huge pictures, or "ultra" huge fonts. You people are not little kids. So no need to use 50 different colors. I'll just tell you like it is (and I'll do it in 3 colors or less)
Added Installation Changes Update
Pure HC 3.2.1
I'll tell what I noticed, and between 3.2 and 3.2.1, it's this.....
Improved Performance in the Apps Drawer. Almost "0" lag time. Increased screen sensitivity. (compared to stock 3.2)
This has been tested on my Tablet with no problems so far, as with other testers. All stock apps, and games, work as advertised.
Why do you want to use this Rom? Well, not a lot out there for the 501, and seems nobody wants to do anything about it. Too focused on the a500 or ICS.
Not to mention it's 3.2.1, And it's a "factory released a501 rom", and I have stripped most of the memory and battery eating pigs out of it.
The only thing left running in Processes after install, is;
Google Services
Digital Clock (people want their alarm clock)
Android Keyboard
This is not a "system dump". 100% pure Acer Release.
Yes, there are a couple of 501 roms. But other than 1 or 2 that I know is pure 501 HC 3.2, I ask, do you want to use a 500 rom that was modified to be a 501? Do you wish your display to freeze when you're on 3g because of a mismatched kernel? Do you want a system dumped rom?
Or would you rather have a factory delivered Rom?
We have tested this Rom, and it holds true to as much stock as possible. Addition of a custom kernel, which has been tested, allows a ratio of clock speed vs battery life. Yes, there is 1 other kernel to use, but unfortunately, I cannot post this rom using it.
For NTFS External drive support, download Drive Mount from the market (tested and works) Fat32 support is normal without Drive Mount.
For Ad-hoc support, I think by now, anybody who needs it, knows where to get it.
If you cannot get GPS for some reason, you can try the 1st link in the forum. Lately, seems nobody needs this anymore since 3.2 release.
This release based on Acer_A501_4.483.01_EMEA_TMPL. RichardTrip kernel based on longer battery life with OC speed with undervoltage. Min, 216, Max 1646.
For Credits, I would like to thank:
KJY2010- As usual for his helpful advice and great insight, and for being my friend.
RichardTrip - Kernel (src lnk on his page)
JaeKar99- Boot animation. (and NO, I will not change it) you can though.

What works.... everything that is included.What doesn't work, nothing that I can see.
What's removed:
Just about everything Acer. And I mean it.
All Acer games.
All the useless Acer things that may be a process.
Apps Installed:
Other than the usual SU and Busybox...
Asus Weather
AdFree (update your host files)
Bluetooth File Transfer
CPU Master Free
Root Explorer (free)
Hackers Keyboard
MX Video Player w/codecs
Terminal
SDrescan
Card games (I love these things when I'm bored)
Acer apps moved to Data for easy removal
Acer Media
Acer Aupeo
File Manager HD
Kobo
LumiRead
Google Voice
TegraZone Games
Zinio Reader
Game Loft store
3D Photo Browser
(note that 3D Photo Browser is a useless app, but I left it in Data in case somebody thinks it's cool. Note that after you run it, it resides in system memory until you remove the app or kill the process.)
Note: I removed the Acer Media Player(s) as they stayed in memory as a process after you ended the program, and are memory pigs. I would advise to use WinAmp from the Android Market to play audio files, or whatever audio player you wish.
All Photos were taken after initial install.
GPS taken next to window (not open).
AnTuTu Benchmark was taken after initial Install while on Internal 3g.
Installation:
For Thor's CWM
1. Wipe User Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe DalviK
4. Wipe Battery Stats
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom (optional, depending on version, you may not need to do this)
Select Go Back and select Install from Zip File
Select Alexandra III Rev 1.1.zip
For RA Recovery
UPDATE NOTE: Version 3.14 does not have the option to Format Flexrom. This is what caused the animation loop on first flashing. I advise to update to version 3.15
(3.14)
Wipe;
Data/Factory Reset
Data
Cache
Android.secure
Dalvik
(3.15) This should take care of animation loop
Wipe;
Data/Factory Reset
Dalvik
System
Select Go Back and select Install from Zip File
Select Alexandra III Rev 1.1.zip
NOTE: you may get an Offset error xxxx. Ignore it. Seems common these days. After installation is complete, Go Back, and Reboot system.
If you get stuck at the Boot-Animation, just reboot to recovery, wipe "data, dalvik, system and cache" then Install again. It seems Acer, changed some things for the 3.2.1 501 install. You do not need to format anything.
You'll see a small "flash" during the Acer Logo. This is normal, as it is the custom kernel loading. Also, when running for the first time, you will get an "OK" prompt as the "Acer" (cough cough) APKinstaller finishes.
The Default Language is Poliski (Polish) so you can change it in the beginning. No, I am not going to change it, as it's a TMPL, and I have no idea which country you are from.
For Overclocking, use CpuMaster and set your CPU speed. 1504 is what I run the most. Set your governor to "on demand" or "Interactive" for longer battery life. Set to "Apply at Boot". If you don't like CPUMaster, then you are free to uninstall it, and Use SetCpu or PimpMyCpu.
Disclaimer:
You flash this Rom at your own risk. If you follow the instructions exactly, there is no reason why you should have issues installing the Rom. If you feel you are smarter than the instructions, and can save a little time by bypassing some steps, don't come crying. Figure it out.
Titanium Backup users, I don't want to hear it. And this goes for anybody else running 2.3 Gingerbread apps on Honeycomb. It is much better, to download an app fresh. Google loves you.
Tasker users, don't even bother. Learn the system.
Of course, all comments are welcome, good or bad.

Download Link
Now. for removed game apps.
Note, you will have to unzip the file to your PC. Copy The game.apk to your Data/app folder, check permissions (should be the same as all other apps), and install. I do not know which ones you want, so I offer them in a zip file.
DOWNLOAD ACER GAMES
For Acer System Apps I removed. Unzip to your PC. Copy the apk (and associated Odex file if there) to your System/App folder. Check permissions (same as the other apps), then reboot tablet.
I do not offer 100% promise these will run correctly. They should. But if you have issues, let me know. Some system apps, depend on others to run.
Also note, that some of these system apps, will continue to run in memory as a process after using. That's why I removed them.

This is the last ROM I will work on for HC 3.2.x. However, if you have a link to a different COM_GEN a501 rom, that nobody has worked on, and you need it, I will be happy to strip it down. Just send me the link.
ICS will be coming in a couple of months, and I doubt Acer will do anymore updates to HC. I have enjoyed playing with these Roms, and I have enjoyed communicating with everybody. But it's time to move to better things. So I hope this rom, gives you much pleasure.
May it run stable and trouble free.
Moscow Desire.
BATTERY MODS​
Note: these are ONLY for Alexandra III, or a rom using the same TMPL build. Any use of these mods on another rom, will produce some very strange results.
Special Thanks - Ordio We finally got them de- and re-compiled!
Ok,these are the same as in Alexandra II. Nice and clean.

Thanks i'm downloading
Good job on the running apps.
Looks like your GPS is working even better than "the other Guy's".
Thanks for letting me help test it out for you...
Very stable and i'm quite happy with the results that i've gotten so far.
Everyone's 3g/4g speeds will vary, and i'm happy to report good 4g speeds for those that have the Roger's 4G model... i'm not sure on the AT&T model though.
Once i tested GPS, it locked on VERY quickly (however i was on wifi so it may have been just that quick)
No issues at all with titanium backup and restoring old programs. Heck, i was able to restore my settings for HC with Titanium backup ...
Of course, this is YMMV
I'll have to grab the addons for this as well .. Glad gaming works great!
Ahh, Android/data folder.. i see where those are.. that will help. thank you.
I miss the circle battery.. i was wondering if there was anything i can do to try and help port them over?
Also i just tested my usb thumbdrive (verbatim 32gb), and it works fine.. was able to copy a movie that i ripped over
Again, thank you!
Hi MD
I am happilly running your Alexandra II, it is great ROM, so I plan to upgrade to Alexandra III. Just a question, are you going to provide us with circle battery theme?
Thanks a lot.. Petr

Hopefully, I will get a battery mod soon. DO NOT use Alexandra II battery mod, as it is a different framework and systemUI.
Glad you like the previous II. I like it also. 4 months, and it always worked without any errors. It's kind of special to me.
Moscow
@Moscow - I'm a 500 owner not 501 but I thank you for all the work you've done on your 2 Alexandra roms. As evinced by posters on your threads it has improved the lot of 501 owners who previously appeared to be the poor waifs standing out in the cold.
Personally I am using Icy Faux at the moment however when I get round to downloading Alexandra 3 I will mod the build.prop and have fun with it on my 500 ......... and NO I will not be whining if I cause problems (that's what recovery programs are for!).
Although you profess this may be your last Rom, I hope we will still be able to enjoy your honest and acerbic remarks on the threads.

Thanks Metpolds. I, along with the other "modders". appreciate people like you.
And I speak for some of them, maybe not all.
Hope it works well for you. Read my notes, as this "official" rom, is a bit odd. I remind you, as far as I know, it's the only official 3.2.1 rom for the 501. And yes, in true Acer fashion, they changed a couple of things with the install. But no problem, just read the notes I put.
No, I am not going to quit giving love to the 501.
When ICS hits (officially), I will be there to "rip and strip". It;s just that there won't be anymore updates to 3.2. Unless somebody finds some other COM GEN's they need stripped. And yes, if you find one, let me know.
Yes, Alex II will always be my baby.
Chow for now. Sleep time in Moscow.

Thanks for this man. I got really sad when you said it was your last rom. I thought that meant NO Moscow love for ICS.. Which made me really said. And you're op is perfect..

Corrected.
And you're still under contract to check things out.
Meant to ask, how goes it for the a510 rom you were trying out, get it to work or did you kill the wife's tab....
Don't believe you killed the wife's A501 or you'd be out with the dog right now and no pc....
And have you looked at the A200 rom, the ring looks awesome, pity it can't use back camera, 3g or gps on our tabs....
Well, for me, 3g has to be there, Also a forward facing camera for Skype.
Otherwise, I should just go get an a200
For starters, it's for quad core it seems. I suppose I could try using "somebody's" ICS kernel to jump start it. But really, until Acer releases some drivers for camera, and internal 3g, It would be a waste of time for anybody with a 501.
What it might benefit, is some folks who are working on ICS builds, to get the bugs out of their hardware accel. Or point them in the right direction to some other problem areas. Mostly it would be for 500 users though.
Of course if the kernel source isn't released, it's 50% useless. In my opinion anyhow.
When I get some time, I'll familiarize myself with some things. Right now, I've got some battery mods, and Wifi and 3g mods to take care of.
I need a full functioning tab by early Monday morn
Blazingwolf has ported the a200 rom for the a500/501 here - http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/iconia-a500-rom-development/2943-back-2-basic-a200.html
As I said, works fine on our tabs but for 3g, GPS and back camera no good...
Thought you might be able to rip the ring out and incorporate it into a rom, if you were up for the challenge....
I would, but I have NO idea where to start....
Not a dev, no time to learn...

AndroidRevolution HD for note 2 1.1 DL

if anybody has a copy of the old AndroidRevolution HD 1.1 for Samsung Galaxy note 2 , i would really appericate it. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ver 3.0 to work, but with no success. I assumed it would be as easy as 1.1 , but i was wong. One of my mistake was not making a backup after the 1.1 installation. So i'm stuck with an old image that atleast has CWM. So if anybody has this.. Thank you in advance!
thats what my repository is for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926506
hope it helps bro
This is great,thank you! but the links for the 1.0,1.1, and 2.0 are dead. I really appreciate the effort though. Hoping someone out there has 1.1
then mike must have taken them off...
I have 2.0 and I can Share it via dropbox, but would it help ya?

Revolution HD 19.0
Hi all,
First post ! I'm not totally new on this forum, I've been consulting them since my very first Android and Smart phone about 3 years ago when I bought the HTC Desire. I did create account back then in order to communicate with you guys, but I never got the privileges for posting so... I just kept reading.
New account made just now because I wanted to share my experience and maybe post a couple of questions (even tips, who knows) - and it does work now, which is nice ! So... Hello !!
I was an HTC protagonist and hated Samsung for their phones made of Taiwanese plastic and their Apple-like designs and commercial strategies... until my employer introduced a new Android application and provided us with new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices. Well - let's just say I was amazed on one hand by the speed and capabilities of my new device and disappointed on the other hand by my beloved HTC One X. It's just that - everything works better ! The only annoying bit was the keyboard, which is far less practical than the one on Sense... but that was easily set right with the installation of AI Keyboard and its Gingerbread theme.
So - my phone had just completed its very first charge after I unpacked it when I decided to root it immediately, install CMW6 recovery and flash it with Revolution HD 19.0 - which worked like a charm !
I'm very happy with this ROM ! My battery lasts clearly longer than that of my colleague's stock devices (about 48h with normal use - including a bit of gaming during number 2's, use of Wifi most of the time and Bluetooth in the car). The response is slightly faster too - for instance that app we use for work works just a little bit faster on mine. Same thing for Youtube, Facebook, Despicable Me (cool game :cyclops: ) and so on...
During the flashing it suggests the installation of some apps - well a few of them weren't installed after flashing although I did select them (I remember Maps was not installed for instance... unfortunately I don't remember what else I had to install manually). That means I'm not entirely sure all the tweaks suggested during the flashing were indeed enabled. I couldn't find any Revolution HD specific section in the settings (like you'd have on a Cyanogen ROM) - and couldn't find any app either to test and play with those tweaks. So can someone tell me if there's a way to find/modify those specific options/tweaks ?
What I also can tell is that one of my colleagues, who received the Note 2 the same day as I did, followed me with the rooting and flashing with his device... He seems to have been less lucky than me - he tells me every once in a while, when waking up the phone, he has no reaction when trying to unlock it (he just uses the screen swipe). He has to put it back to sleep and wake it up again before he can unlock it... Is this something that happens to anyone ?
So there you go - my experience is nearly flawless ! I love this ROM and will continue using it !
By the way : does anyone know how updates work with this ROM ? Do I have to backup my apps and data whenever a new Revolution HD ROM comes out for my phone and restore that backup after upgrade ? Or is there some kind of OTA-like update available ?

Well it was the first thread when searching for Revolution HD on this particular device - for one. And I wasn't allowed replying on the thread from the developer about Revolution HD 19.0.

Everything About Asus Slider SL101 Development [4/2/14]

Hi to all SL101 owners!
If you are a TF101 owner, you are invited to read this post too, your knowledge will help us
I've been searching in the forums for months for information about the SL101 (ROMs, kernels, Ubuntu, etc.). Every piece of information is in a different thread and in different place.
I wish to organize this information in one thread. I know that there are no many SL101 owners, but we can help each other by sharing our experience with the slider. In this post I'll update the status about everything which related to the SL101.
With a HUGE help by @timduru, we got our Slider back to a brand new life! :victory:
5.0.x or 4.4.x KitKat ROMs
1. Flash the proper compatibility pack .zip file AFTER flashing the ROM.
2. Once the slider boots up, go into Setings-->Language&Input-->turn OFF hardware keyboard. Otherwise it won't work.
That's it!
Note: ICS and JB were removed from here, they are outdated and not functional ROMs.
Root:
- PERI tool.
Recovery:
- TWRP 2.8.1.1 - works great after @sidneyk efforts! Very recommended for 4.4.x & 5.0.x ROMs!
- CWM 6.0.2.1- old but working.
Ubuntu:
- I have no idea... If someone tried, please report
To-do:
- UBUNTU.
- Add links where needed.
- Improve this post
If I had any grammar or spelling mistakes, I sincerely apologize.
If I helped you, please hit "THANKS"
If you have something to say/add/share, please do
It'd be great to get an owner of a slider to confirm/provide rooting knowledge. I've rooted phones in the past, but we are talking years at this point since the last time I've even loaded up ADP or fastboot. The only guide I can find that really dives deep is this one: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html but as you can see, it's specific to the Transformer. What root method do you recommend for the most current firmware?
Any direction you provide would be great.
I used PERI. Make sure you have the latest firmware (9.2.1.27).

I see now that you included "PERI" under Root... I'll give it a try later tonight, I'm just going through all the pages to see common mistakes and corrections people have posted. So you're running ARHD 3.6 (4.0.3), how do you like it? Pro's/Con's of the ROM? Looks like it changes some of the rendering capabilities, noticable gains in speed?
It has the same experience as the stock ROM. I use it since it is rockstable and it is always on my microSD card. I really have no good reason why I'm not on the stock...

Hmmm, well I really hate how there seems to be no community for us Slider owners. I was hoping I could get my buddies "broken" Transformer tablet and then I could really dive into modding and toying around with the Slider to contribute to this thread, but unfortunately he threw it out. That of course didn't stop me from telling him that the issue he was having (screen wouldn't light up, but it was responding to touch and turning on) was fixed by either taking it apart and resetting the connector or simply giving it a few firm bangs on it's bottom edge.
I may look into some Kernels, but they can be tricky... I prefer hooking the kernel into the ROM zip file rather than trying to flash the kernel after.
Prior experience with kernels - starts out really fast and stable with a rapid decline becoming unresponsive. But again, my dabbling was back in 2009/2010 on the G1 and the Mytouch 3G (both of which still boot up and run solid btw).

I am currently running ARHD with stock kernel as well. To be honest, without being able to use Nvflash with our Slider, I have been very scared to try much of anything else for fear of bricking.
From stock ROM to ARHD, I have noticed some speed improvements with a bit of decreased battery life. Or maybe I'm just imagining that.

Well I don't think the actual design of how it all works has changed in 4 years... (seriously, it's been that long!) Anyways, back in the day what I used to do since I never wanted to flash a kernel into a ROM is actually switch out the parts into the install (yes, you have to wipe and install from scratch) so it loaded in recovery... if it doesn't work, just revert back to an old install and try again.
I now have a rooted Slider, I have yet to try a new ROM but I think I'm going to try ARHD first.
Hey there!
Great to see that I am not the only one having a slider
Currently I am on cm10 nightly (downloaded direct from get.cm). I've found the same bugs as in unofficial cm10 rom. But - to be honest - I can live with them. OK, the not working screen rotation makes me angry sometimes
It would be great if the slider could find some devs to work on with. It's a great device in my opinion - but of course I can understand the devs. But i keep my fingers crossed to have a PA Rom on the slider - that would be like christmas to me
So I hope TheMrcool212 can find a way. Sadly I can't post in his thread caused to my less posts (normaly I am present in the german forum - AH)
At the moment I am happy to flash every day a brand new rom on my Note1.
I will keep an eye on this thread and of course I can test some roms. I could also open a thread for an Rom in the German forum Android Hilfe. I am sure there is a big interest for any 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 Rom.
Sadly I have no experiance in developing.

So I hope TheMrcool212 can find a way. Sadly I can't post in his thread caused to my less posts (normaly I am present in the german forum - AH)
At the moment I am happy to flash every day a brand new rom on my Note1.
I will keep an eye on this thread and of course I can test some roms. I could also open a thread for an Rom in the German forum Android Hilfe. I am sure there is a big interest for any 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 Rom.
Sadly I have no experiance in developing.

Sounds that you and I are very similar!
I had been too on the CM10 a while till it has driven me crazy XD
I'm waiting to the PA ROM too to be a bit more compatible with our device
Every effort that the normal user or the devs are doing is much appreciated. I'll be glad to hear that you have found something in the forum you mentioned- you can even copy-paste the first post
On my way to edit the OP now... Thanks for sharing!

Yes, sounds very similar.
But CM10 don't drive me crazy. For it is working quite perfect. I don't use the cam on my slider and if screen is off - I'll touch the power buttom.
But the non-rotation is sometimes really bad. I've found a app that solves that problem 8don't know the name now, if you need it I'll will check the name for you), but that is in my opinion just a work around.
But of course: PA on the slider would be a dream!!!:good:

A few questions.
1 Whats the procedure to flash the CM10 for the slider?
2 Whats the name of the program that auto rotates the screen?
3 What are the benefits that you see changing over to JB and are they worth it?
4 Does everything outside of the camera and screen work?
Also thanks for installing the CM10. Gave me an idea. (just use apps to offset the differences) Maybe there is an app to reinvert the camera. LOL
They also said something about the keyboard not doing something or the other when opened. Whats yr xp with that? Respect!!
1.) As usual: Root and CWMR are required. Then do all the wipes (cache, dalvik cache and user data) and format system, cache and data (to be sure and "clean"); after that install CM10 (don't use CM10.1 - only problems) rom and latest signed gapps
2.) There are two apps you can use: Screen Rotation Steuerung or Ultimate Rotation Control. URC works better, but you have to pay for it after one week
3.) Benefits: Works faster and smoother in my opinion. And it gives me the satisfaction to have 4.1.2 :silly:
4.) Yes, the only problem I recognized (as you can see in the OP) are camera and screen work.
Keyboard is working fine, no problems
Keyboard and CM10.
A small precission for CM10 ROM on SL101: keyboard wake up works some times. Maybe 20% of the attemps (I press repeatedly the keys) do work, at least for me.
Hi DK5, can you upload the the folder 'keychars' and 'keylayout' in /system/usr in Stock ROM of your SL101? I need to see what's the difference between TF101 and SL101 of those folder. Maybe i can help you to add support for 4.2 ROMs.

A time ago I found this link where someone tried to install Ubuntu on our Asus SL101.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...dual-boot-ubuntu-on-asus-eee-pad-slider-sl101
I didn't try it yet, maybe in a few weeks after exams, but it's great that someone got run Ubuntu on the slider
Try to flash a 4.2 ROM the zip file below. I took the asusec jar and lib file from erickwill's CM10. Fix permissions if it doesn't work.
That's cool MrCool!
Will charge my SL101 and then: let the test begin (of course I will choose yourPA)
I will give feedback
