Right, I just had a quick look over the modem notes I have been testing and there`s way to many for me to have the time to sort them out, so I`ll just post up it as I left it, it`s a bit of a mess but heh better than nothing....hope it helps out at least one person, lol.

The sats in GPS Test are "in view" sats, most of the sats where fairly equal in both "in view" and "in use"..also phone/wi-fi signals where practically the same for all of the modems, very little in the difference...

Whats pawtips?

I am not sure where the instructions for installing it are. I am on insanity. can you find them?

Its not that clear, or else maybe I keep missing a section

Edit - Do you just follow this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19563068&postcount=1839 and then flash the new beta

Pretty painless to flash it. Took less than ten min after I downloaded it all. Not sure how good it is yet. It isn't picking up my wireless signal that well.

Which did you go with ?
Did you backup all your apps before flashing ?

Have the Christmas Party tomorrow so don't want my phone bricked till I can get home tbh.

Raoul

Went with onecosmics. To be honest it really took less than ten min and was a lot easier than insanity or darky.

No I didn't back up anything. I don't have that many apps so I just install them fresh each time.

Edit - can't figure out how to zoom on the camera.

That's one to many zip files for my liking, reminds me of when I first started out, flashing loads of zips in order to get a ROM.

Let us know how it goes for you...

It's 3, which you have to more or less do with Cyanogenmod and a custom kernel anyway. Or 2 if you don't want root.

Be interested to see how it goes before I take the plunge tomorrow.
You get your wifi working properly yet ?

Nope, its just a bit weak.

What are the three zips that you need to flash?

I thought I was being smart and flashed the pawtips one first and then the onecosmic one over it.

Maybe I missed something

The three zips I can see that need flashed are the main build, then the kernel and the superuser ?
All available from here.

There's another kernel that can be flashed aswell with some new changes.
http://www.multiupload.com/CPOC9JIIJI

I have build a kernel from onecosmics sources, but i have added tweaked smartassV2 governor from Zach's neo 18 kernel.

also the partition sizes are little bit different from onecosmics.

this kernel has:
cache: 17,5 mb
system: 250 mb
data: 1,8 gb
datadata:170 mb

i have also added 2 libs from teamhacksungs gapps 5.1 and the extended power menu from teamhacksung build 4. because of this, the package is about 20mb.

Maybe you kept root after flashing pawtips one ?

Yeah maybe that was it. Going to try that other kernel in a bit. Really want the extended power menu.

Let me know how you get on

Flashed the ROM and the new kernel and it's on a black screen these past 6 minsutes now. Hmmmm
Will wait a bit longer then reboot to recovery and flash the original fugu kernel.

How long should it take to boot first time ? They did say it'd be a while ?

Edit: reflashed ROM and normal fuf kernel all booted up now.
Nice, now to try get my apps back on.

First impressions? I just put that new kernel on.

Where can you change what is on the power menu?

Raoul

Right so first major problem for me which I wont get to fix until after the weekend.

Flashed that new kernel and my music wouldn't work. So I went in deleted it all and was going to put it back on. So I was going to put it back on but now my sd card needs reformatting because it is still saying its full.

PC doesn't see the sd card as a storage device so I cant format it. Tried to download an app to do it and it reformatted my internal sd card. :mad: At the moment, I don't have time to do anything else.

Ste-

I had problems getting stuff to run frm my eternal SD, where I had backed up my apps and couldn't get them restored.
Restoring my nandroid from this morningn now.

Sorry to hear bout your problems. Guess fully funtional ICS is just not there yet.

Ste-

Seems this has an updated SuperUser soemone mentioned this could be a problem with th SD cards ?
Anyway this latest build has it and I reckon should I be in a fit state tomorrow I'll end up flashing it.

Go to XDA.com and look for your device, then Darkys thread, you'll find the answer there.

You should have just flashed insanity, much better than darkys. well if I was you i would have waited for a stable ics to come out.

P.s Lewis is probably the most helpful person in the thread when you have real difficulty or if your flashing is going badly. Just doesn't like when you ask here when the answer is easily found earlier in the thread

Three upgraded me to an sgs2 guys. Truth be known, there isn't that much of a diffidence to the original (battery life etc). Sending original galaxy up the north to my dad who is a complete gadget noob!

Just thinking with insanity needing tweaks here and there, i'm probably better off sticking to the latest stock ROM, kernel, modem (I downloaded from samfirmware.com)

Would you agree?

The guy just wanted a little info.hes dead right
if you didn't want to help why did u bother posting.just keep your mouth shut, after all he didn't ask you the question.

Imo your about as helpfull as a sore toe.your the exact example why noobs are terrified of posting messages, in case they are ridiculed by the likes of you.

Nope, any and every custom ROM need a little tweak here and there, that`s the joy of them, Insanity needs very little tweaking to make it "your`s".

I know far from it all man, the little I do know is from endless months of reading and reading and searching.

Why would I not want noobs in here, I`m here to help out anyone and everyone, the best way I can, end of and if you don`t like it then tough.

I helped him by not helping him, the way the Android side goes is if you want to do something, read up on it before you do it, cause if you **** it up, sure as hell you`ll be in here pissing and moaning about it.

From what I gather is that this is a forum, all questions are aimed at EVERYONE, so your open to get all kinds of answers, again, if you don`t like it tough.

Well when your "toe" gets stepped on, don`t worry, I won`t help you out.

I`m the reason why noobs are "terrified", don`t make me laugh man, what do you think this is a playground and I`m the big bad scary man? lol

By the way, I`ve helped a fair few people, here and other places..

I'm with lewis on this one. Too many people just logging on to forums such as this and going straight in with the question. Couldn't be bothered using the search function or even google. Instead just hoping to find some eejit who has done all the research for them. I used to help out a fair bit on this forum but just grew tired of seeing the same questions getting asked over and over again. Answers to most if not all questions can be found with a quick search.....

I was on that for a couple of days and found it more stable but I got an ipad and I needed to be able to create an ad hoc wireless network and I couldn't do it on that rom. So I had to go back to onecosmics.

Hi All....I see that there is a 2.3.6 out. Has anyone flashed this yet? From the thread, it seems that there is almost no change from 2.3.5..

Looking forward to getting ICS, but will wait until its a stable daily driver...

lewis

So lads from your experiences with ICS, is it worth a try?

Ste-

So far yeah I'm pleased with it.
A few apps not working proper yet.
Tasker being one of them. Seems to get killed somehow.
Go sms also is only dispalying numbers instead of contact details. Too lazy to try handcent yet may do later.
Also hear that Go dialer themes aren't working. But I use the normal theme for that.

Other than that for what I use my phone for it seems to do the job.

No multidpi or I can't set it properly but for now 240 will have to do.

I can try some apps for you lewis if you want ?


What would you be usign it for ?

Raoul

I am really liking ICS. Pawtips seemed better but then the wifi tethering wouldn't work for me and that made it a no go. So I went back to onecosmics.

I had difficulty with getting my music to work but it somehow just magically started to work.

Only actual thing that is wrong for me is the maps problem, where it keeps asking you to login but won't actually let you. Maps still works though so its only a slight annoyance.

Anything else....it doesn't find a wifi signal as good as it used to. Hopefully this will be fixed and I am on 3 and have unlimited data so not a major problem. I also find that the data download speed is a hell of a lot better.

Ste-

I heard that maps bug will go away after signing in a few times.
Regarding your ad-hoc wireless, can barnicle wifi tether do this ?

Onecosmics does feel smoother but pawtips will be more official and geared towards CM9 afaik.

Yeah I use barnacle to do it. There is also wireless tether but I find the phone get seriously hot doing that.

I read that if you sign in a few times it works but not for me.

How do you change the amount of homescreens. I have 5 but only want 3.

Two other small problems for me:
Sometimes the screen gets stuck when I try to swipe across to a different homescreen, simply solved by pressing the home button.
Another is when I am playing music sometimes on the lockscreen I get the music widget and other times I don't. Just totally random.

Only way to get less screens is to use a different launcher, default launcher is stuck with 5.

Don't use my phone for music so dunno about that.

Give another launcher a go see if it solves some of the problems.
