[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Android 4.0 was already announced, and some people started to work for roms for other phones. My question is does anybody going to do a rom for Arc?

We won't see a ROM until the source code for ICS is released, Google usually releases it when the first phone gets it.

Acutally there is WIP at X10 forum. Google has released the SDK for ICS.

I saw someone who Ported ICS SDK to his Nexus one, but it was on old kernal, ICS uses the new Linux Kernal 3.0

[Q] Will we see an AOSP build of 4.0 anytime on our device?

Since the SDK is out, can someone try to build an AOSP rom that can be used to just explore ICS? Are there instructions on how to do it? More importantly is it possible on the PLAY ?
This piece of news seems clear: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/google-confirms-nexus-s-will-get-ice-cream-sandwich-for-real/
In fact, both he and Matias Duarte think most Gingerbread devices will see an upgrade, saying: "Currently in the process for releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S. Theoretically should work for any 2.3 device."

In PRese that means "any GB device can be updated but companies will update if they feel like it".
Yes I saw that. I meant a quick AOSP build in the coming weeks. Not an official update

[Q] AOSP Icecream Sandwich possible?

Can anyone port ICS to our defy from aosp??
Of course we can, and of course it will be ported...if you people read a bit before posting you would learn that the next version of CyanogenMod with ICS will be CM9. The SDK was just released yesterday so leave them time to work on it . Plus, with our bootloader locked, Quarkx will probably have to make a version of CM9 with the Defy+'s Gingerbread Kernel (our actual one being the Froyo kernel, but i guess it would be too old for an ICS port)

I thought that CM8 will come with ICS. Where I can find this information on cyanogenmod site?

Ofcourse not!! As there will be no no SDK port of ICS on CM (source : CM team). We'll only get a port when the official ICS source is out.

And right you are.
CM8 as intended for the honeycomb version but its source never released. Thus CM8 wont be there. Hope the same wont happen with ICS. According to an old statment by google ICS source should be released

Android 4.04 available in ROMS but where is 4.03 OTA?

Hi,
I started seeing 4.0.4 available in some ROMS. I have been running 4.03 on AOKP for the past couple weeks, but where is the official release of 4.03 ??
I monitor this site every day: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Why dows people flashing 4.04 and 4.03 here and there but Google dont release officially those builds??
Thanks.
4.0.4 isn't in any ROMs, modaco is a hybrid and CDMA might have some deodexed versions of 4.0.4
4.0.3 is tagged in AOSP, so we can build that. The only 4.0.4 ROMs will be for CDMA Galaxy Nexus AFAIK, and there can't be a source built 4.0.4 ROM until it is tagged and released in the AOSP tree.
4.0.3 was released on the Nexus S and found to have a few issues so it's been pulled. Because of that, it would appear Google thought twice about releasing it on their flagship dev phone so are holding off until they get a nice build - rumoured to be 4.0.5 but nothing confirmed so far
The latest OTA update is up to 4.02 only. All other versions are unofficial leaked/custom ROMs.

4.0.3 isn't leaked. It's in AOSP repo, yes it's in custom ROMs but you can compile a AOSP 4.0.3 only version as if it was a OTA.
just to underline what's already been said;
you can build 4.0.3 tag from aosp;
you can also build from aosp master branch: this is the bleeding edge branch of aosp. in other words, in terms of the android dev tree, master has all the latest fixes (and "features") of ics.
Sorry to come in all noob and stuff. Just a quick one, what's AOSP?? = /

[Q] Will there be AOKP once offical ICS is released?

Hi guys, just have been wondering if anyone knows about whether there will be an official aokp rom for the phone once htc releases Android 4.0 for it, or not.
Maybe some insiders here?
Thanks

There are custom AOKP rom running ICS right know and the developers are currently working the minor bugs out of them. I am sure that when the official ICS is released for the DHD the devs will have the final source codes to perfect their roms.
ice cold sandwish is Aokp and aosp and cm same time but yes when every thing is stable and an official android 4 from htc is release for our DHD then expect to see AOKP and CM9 and Sense 4, Sense 3.6 for our device lovely isnt it?
as a user of dhd we can only be patient waiting for a reply from the offical test
Well, it will have to be submitted to the team, and you will need some good maintainers...

Best kernel to use with JB?

I'm running Jelly Bean on my Verizon GN with the kernel that came with it. Is there a better one I should be using?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I was using Fanco 216 For a while and it ran great I just flashed trinity Alpha 28 and i have heard good things about it, try one of those
Stock? Havn't found a kernel yet which doesn't lag for me atleast =] i dont mean extreme lag just little stutters that i didn't noticed when using stock
I've been happy with the GlaDos 2.0RC on JB so far..
I'm happy with the stock one for now.
trinity kernel, the way google wanted jellybean to be ran. here, experimental tab http://www.derkernel.com/jbtuna.php#
Franco 216 is easily the best
Stock. Had issues with franco.

Where can I get the stock version. I'm running the sprint version are you jelling rc1

Stock. I tried some and they were horrible. Franko was always nice but on jb it made it ten times slower, i have never ever experienced so much lag before. Stock is fast, does not lag, gets nice battery consumption so why would you even consider tinkering around.
Stock. its the smoothest for me so far
Can anybody give Me a link for the stock kernel thanks in advance

Just like any 'what kernel should I use with _____' thread, answers will never be objective and will be based on individual results which will not necessarily be reproducible on every handset. There are already multiple threads asking what the best kernel is for 4.1.
Also:
1. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean has not been released. A developer preview does not count.
2. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean sources have not been released

I saw a link to the stock kernel in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738018. It should work with any galaxy nexus variant, but as always, flash at your own risk and nandroid first.

Edit: correct. 4.1 kernel source was released. I missed it.
been running Lean kernel, and its my first "non-stock" kernel since flashing jellybean last week. gotta say I love it so far. great battery life, and just as smooth as stock as far as my use goes. I got 4 1/2 hrs of screen on time tody with it. on WiFi all day, but still happy

My feelings exactly... I have always been a Franko kernel user previously, but I found his JB kernel to be very choppy. I then went and reflashed the ROM(didn't know where to get the actual stock kernel from) so I could go back to the stock kernel and I am happy again! lol
But it really is a personal choice which depends a lot on what you individually want to do with your phone.

kernel source was released the same day that the google io attendies received JellyBean. since google released it, they legally have to provide kernel source according to the GPL. our kernel devs here all follow GPL as well, thats one of the requirements of xda to allow them to post their custom kernels. btw, source is where it always is. please dont insult our wonderful kernel developers.

Subject: [android-building] GPL components for the Jelly Bean preview
To: <[email protected]>
As usual, Android 4.1 ("Jelly Bean") contains a few components
licensed under the GPL or similar licenses. For the preview that was
just announced at Google I/O, the source code of those components is
available in AOSP.
The JFN53F platform components are tagged android-4.1_pre1 in their
respective projects. That's the version that Nexus 7 has in the box.
The JRN84D platform components are tagged android-4.1_pre2 in their
resepctive projects. That's the automatic update for both Nexus 7 and
Galaxy Nexus.
The SDK platform components are tagged android-4.1-sdk_pre1 in their
resepctive projects.
They are available with full source history. They are fully merged
into the master branch (except webkit). They all build on top of the
current AOSP master.
The Nexus 7 kernels are in the kernel/tegra project, under SHA-1
8dd2eab (in the box) and 55edff4 (the update). The Galaxy Nexus kernel
is in the kernel/omap project, under SHA-1 e8de0e2. They all have full
source history.

Yeah...sorry for the incorrect info. I've been checking since I was corrected, and my git was broken and not pulling the source for 4.1.
Thanks.
