This build was edited by me (mainly for my personal use), based off of Zips Creamed Glacier's 3.11 release, but contains fixes I pulled from IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1.
I don't normally start dev threads, so bare with me (I'm no dev)
What's new:
- Practically everything that's included in Zips Creamed Glacier 3.11 - includes, FFC unlock, Working games (Draw Something does work!), mdj's kernel and so forth.
- I fixed the weather/geolocation issues found in 3.11
- I fixed the USB mount issue in 3.11 (you couldn't mount as a mass storage device while the phone was on [gave you two options that didn't work])
- I fixed the full signal bars issue (reported full bars at all times you'd have service)
- Also included the romcontrol.apk from IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1 and the settings.apk (for those who wanted ROM control settings but had to use the widget shortcuts to use them, you no longer have to as it's included in the settings)
- Replaced the systemui.apk with IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1's (you can haz 4g icons!)
- Replaced Trebuchet with Apex Launcher (This was part of my personal liking, Apex Launcher is the best ICS launcher IMO, try it out)
- May be forgetting something else...
All of the fixes mentioned above were fixed by pulling their respective files from IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1
* Don't ask any of the devs for wifi calling, as it's assumed to not work until T-Mo updates wifi calling for ICS (which should be whenever a T-Mo phone officially has ICS) or unless a dev performs some sort of magic ritual and get it working and stable
------edit------
As of 3/29, 9:07 PM (Lol)
This is what I've got, thanks to one of our fellow users that found me on twitter and showed me this (I don't know what his user name is on XDA)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24210094&postcount=932
My thanks goes to:
- zipsnet - his 3.11 build was used as a base, that's why games work and etc. (ICS thread link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555574)
- blackwing182 - for certain files from his build to fix usb and location issues and the AOKP files for ROM control (will post which ones they were specifically later) (ICS thread link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551456)
and those also to those mentioned in their thanks lists (tell me who I forgot to mention and I'll add you here)
Enjoy!

Also:
- Here's the flashable low mic fix by lincore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24008900&postcount=531
- Don't use the DSPManager that comes with the ROM and complain about volume levels. I'm not sure if this info is correct, but after snooping around in other device forums, like always, a dev put in his OP that the DSPManager isn't really configured for ICS but instead for CM7. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I don't use the DSPManager anyways so

Just in case...
I dont see the DL link!
There it is
And, did you include fixes such as Low-mic volume? And did you include the Mail app or does it need to be flashed?
Just posted it! I had to look for them, lol

Basically all that you would find in zips' build, I think the only app I took out was trebuchet and the only app I added was apexlauncher. If not, I can fix them later.
For the low mic issues, I didn't put those in my zip, but I can post the link to the fix in my OP.
I love this version of Zip's rom. Very stable. Daily driver. Thank you.
Excellent job! Let's hope the "OMG, you can't combine two different open source projects, that's disrespect!" trolls don't crap up this thread.

I was actually wondering why this wasn't done sooner, but since I know so little about how development works, I kept my mouth shut. It seemed like such a logical thing to do.
systemui.apk gives you the 4G icon

Downloading now will report, thank you
Update: working well smooth no fcs yet, face unlock works sometimes.

Hi at long last release time is upon us. I bring to you the Acer Liquid Metal Rom port, with the joint effort of Me,HomerSP(Team Villain) and with testing and collaboration by TheDeadCpu. Now what can i tell you about the rom, is it fast? of course it is, is the battery life good? hard to tell im always on 2g(At&t) Does it all work? No of course not. now with that said lets get on to what does not work.
You NEED CWM3.0, not the Beta Version of CWM 3.0 that only works on gingerbread, if you have that recovery and you flash my rom it will get stuck in the white htc logo, so please download the CWM recovery with rom manager, or make sure its not the Beta version.

HomerSp(For fixing Wifi,GSm,sensors,camera,video play back issues and more to come )
bigrushdog (Original Port from witch this rom is based upon)

Launcher will work .. kind of. It'll take forever to load, and if you touch the black bar, it'll FC. The 8 icons also won't show up. You'll be able to use the app drawer, as well as swipe left and right, but that's about it. No notification bar. Also, doesn't play well with LCD Density.
Yeessss!!!!

Id be willing to help out and test the rom as you port it.
I was going to try and port this myself, but, have no knowledge of doing it, so most of my time would've been on just reading and learning first, haha.

Meizu M9 Q'n'D port for Vision
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
03/20/2011 update: no progress made, throwing in the towel
I can't figure the framework out, every edit I make breaks something else. Long story short, this is a little too in depth for me! Between work and family life, I don't have the time to sink into this to figure it out. For anyone interested in picking the project up, I'd recommend trying to merge an updated Meizu /system dump. Once you do, you'll need to baksmali services.jar and make some major edits. Here's 3 more up-to-date /system dumps I've found around various fora:
system_v1.0.0-13940.zip - Mediafire
system_v1.0.2-14504.zip - Mediafire
system_v1.0.2-15033.zip - Mediafire
Good luck to anyone who decides to pick this up, it's no joke!
END UPDATE
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a working port of the Meizu M9 ROM for Vision! I need your help debugging and testing the ROM. This is to be considered totally experimental, and is still in need of further development. I wouldn't recommend using it as your daily driver (although I suppose you could ). I'm looking for input from other hackers on fixing what's broken. Thanks!
Flash it with CWM. It will work with the latest version available in ROM manager.
Thanks to:
siulmagic - he started the port and got it booting. This wouldn't be possible without him.
eViL D - Pieces of this were taken from his MT4G port.
meltus - Pieces of this were taken from his N1 port.
XxDaLoWeSt1xX/MagnusRagnarok - Their work porting it to the EVO

Now, on to the details!
What works:
- Phonecalls/SMS
- Audio
- Microphone
- Data (APNs should work automatically)
- SD Card (recognized by phone)
- Sensors
- Keyboard
- Backlights
- Softkeys
- Accelerometer
- Haptic Feedback (needs to be enabled in Accessibility Settings)
- USB (debugging needs to be enabled in USB settings)
- Rooted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What's broken:
Major
- Wifi - enabling causes the phone to reboot
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- Mounting SD card via USB
Minor
- Resolution issues (framework edits are needed)
- Graphics issues (white on white text, etc)
- Time isn't automatically set properly. Manually set your time if it's off.. YMMV.
- Random Chinese text here and there

Other things you should be aware of:
- The M9 ROM doesn't seem to sync well with Google. Your contacts will not be synced. I believe this is the intended behavior of the ROM itself, but I need to do more testing/investigating.

Included apps:

i have first seen this phone during my stay in china and am really interested in the whole meizu thing!
I kinda need my phone to be stable for at least the next week cuz ill be without internet or anything (going snowboarding, woohoo), but after that i will definitely flash this and help finding bugs and whatnot
I tried it looks great loved the lock screen icons everything but ill just wait until its finally ported

Get Wi-Fi Working and I'm all over it!
Good job by the way! I would flash it immediately but I don't have a data plan cause I don't really need it... I have Wi-Fi all the time.
btw mountig sdcard via usb works, you just have to do it a couple of times, eventually it will work. thats how it was when i last worked on my build.
hey guys,
i just tried it out on my gsm htc vision and i had a lot of problems even if the rom boot.
no sim detection. no keyboard/trackpad/buttons working.
i just can't try it more since i can't lock/unlock the screen and can't use the home button.
hope you'l lfix it, this rom sounds really interesting.
Hey Guys!
Well I seen a thread in the general section talking about the posssibility of Android 3.0 or Honeycomb for Hero. I decided to have a go at porting a Magic HC ROM and so here it is. It works okay, can be sluggish at times but it's really only a proof of concept but if there's enough interest I'll consider improving it to try and get everything working. This ROM is really a joint effort between me and Ybinnenweg, he's helped me develop every rom i've ever built so far so we may as well stick together .
Thanks to:
yohshua for the original rom.
Ybinnenweg for his advice and support
Elelinux for the update-script
Okay down to business..
Whats working?
- Led's
- Auto-Rotate ( it rotates after using camera but doesn't rotate back :L )
- Full Honeycomb UI
- Auto-Brightness
- SD Card mount?
- Key Lights
- Not sure what else.. find out!
Whats not working?
- Sound
- SMS
- Calls
- Camera
- USB Storage
- Bluetooth
- Wifi
Thanks to Ybinnenweg for screens

Wow! Any screens? How fast is it?
OMG! Great news!
I can't post screens atm, as I use my phone for work and can't use a ROM that has limited functionality for a while, I'll try get something up later. The speed is okay, it's not great but it's using fly-kernel12a, not tried using LV with it so i'm not sure if that will improve the speed. Test it out for me, any feedback is much appreciated
Nice to see you working on this but you've a lot of work to do good luck with it.
Hope this one is easier to port than MIUI

How is a sense based rom android 2.3.5 at this time?
It isn't sense based, the system folder contains CM apps, but nothing htc/sense related
Reads like an OMGB kang without giving credit to r2DoesInc.
Sorry to my readers and participants. Because of my stupidty and anxiousness to get this up, I managed to screw up the post a bit.
Changes:
*AOSP Base; not Sense (DUH..).
*Credit given to appropriate sources.
Thank you for your tolerance, support, patience, and participation.
As always, enjoy!

I recommend that you change your apps to the free ones.. a lot of developers dislike when you put apps that they sell in the market and basically distribute for free, and you should personalize the extra apps that they download.. like the ones you like in 1 .zip and the other google apps in another .zip

1 do you have permission to use omgb as the base for your rom? I'm thinking you don't and if that's the case you are most likely violating xda rules
2 did you build this from source? I tend to think you didn't
3 don't post roms or anything without correct information and credits...easiest way to get kicked to the curb
4 I could go on but I await to hear more from the op
why is this even posted?
will a MOD please take this down and just post a link to the ROM that this is using. this isnt a new ROM, it's worthless. you can do what u want, but u cant do that on these forums

SlimKat Android 4.4 for the T Mobile Galaxy S4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]This thread has been created for people to share issues,
question and help
while using SlimKat 4.4 for the T Mobile Galaxy S4[/SIZE]
PLEASE make sure to thank the entire Slim Team for their dedication to this ROM
Please do not clutter any Development thread with non related development chatter
*
I am not the developer for SlimKat, SlimBean, Slim Fast, Fat Boy Slim, or anything else with Slim in the title.
This is NOT a development thread and as such is designed to be a little more noob friendly than a development thread. Please don't hessiate to ask any questions you have here, but please do try to search first to see if there is a known sollution to your issue before posting a new question about it.
If you have development related bug issue, send an bug report to the Slim team. See post 2 for instructions.
Please see this note from the Slim development team and PLEASE take it to heart!
Please note: SlimKat and KitKat in general is in an early stage. Still some apps are not compatible and still some devices have to fight with smaller issues on the other hands a lot devices are already quiet stable. Whatever please keep in mind that this builds are labled for a reason as beta builds. As a lot slim user know we only tag our builds stable when they are already 100% stable and all features are back. But you will be surprised how stable it is already

Indivudal apps need to be tweaks to run on KitKat. If you have a favorite app that doesn't work, check with the developer of that app first to see if it runs on 4.4 before asking why it doesn't work here. (If it was last updated in February of 2012 or something like that, it hasn't been tweaked for KitKat.). In short, it's probably not the rom's fault.
As of December 8th Blk_Jack is back on XDA with a new thread for Slim Kat!

That is a development thread. Keep your posts there development related. That does not mean "How come my phone no boot?" or "Thx for this ROM iz smooth like butta!". That means specific issues tht haven't been reported 900 times previously. Search that thread for a similar post to yours BEFORE posting!!!
Reporting Bugs:
The Slim Team has a very specific way they ask that bugs be reported. You can do it right through the bug report feature of the ROM. But do it this way...(This is right from the Slim site. It is the best way to make errors known to the Slim developers)
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist. The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways, 3A and 3B, depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3A. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3B. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
Now when you're done with either 3A or 3B proceed with the following:
4. Now reproduce the bug (if possible more than once). After you reproduced the bug go into settings and SlimCenter and click on Bugreport. A bugreport.zip will appear on your sdcard in a directory called Slim.
5. Attach this zip in the correct thread along with your report. Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

I know the device maintainers have been testing the S4 builds for a couple of weeks now and making improvements among their team. So you're not getting an early Alpha release here or anything.
The maintainer for the international S4 is very active in the i9505 forums and has been talking about SlimKat for a while, saying how stable it already is. That's pretty standard for the Slim team. They do not putz around with releasing buggy builds.
That said I'm sure it's not perfect yet. SlimKat isn't going to be 100% error free just yet and isn't going to help you create sustainable cold fusion or anything like that (yet...). So be prepared for a little wonkiness early on. But if history is any indicator, you can probabyl expect a really nice experience from from teh start.
Running good so far!! Missing some things from SlimBean that I really liked but being in beta they will eventually come. Will be my DD assuming I don't have any issues.

What do you see is missing so far? (I haven't even flashed it yet. I won't have the time for another 5 hours until I get home from work and put my daughter to bed. But I'm drooling with anticipation!)

The main things are all the status bar tweaks (hiding battery and signal bars), no theme engine, quick settings are missing a few things, widgets on the lock screen. All I can think of right now.
Still a very solid rom though. Currently will be my DD.

You can enable the widgets for your lock screen. Only bug I'm confronting is that NFC doesn't turn off some times. I have to click it a couple times through the quick toggles. Besides that, I get FC's with gapps but that's been mentioned before.

No theme engine? What are we?
ANIMALS!? What's next, do we have to eat our young?!
I kid! I kid! I understand it's a beta. I'm just messing around. It is funny though, I've gotten so used to my orange themed Androids that its a shocking concept to think I might have to use the standard blue for a week! The horrors! :laugh: (Again, I'm kidding. If anyone takes this seriously relax)
I do look at people who love TouchWiz and I can't figure out how they put up with not being able to change the colors. This is like the single greatest feature in AOSP ROMs to me, even more than all the actually important tweaks that make AOSP run so well.

There is already an update!
It's called Beta 1.1 Weekly and there is no changelog included with it so I imagine it's just some upstream updates and tweaks since yesterday and not a lot of major improvements. But an update is an update!

So far the beta builds give me trouble booting. I get hung on the splash screen a lot. It akes a bunch of chances to get it to boot. It always eventually works though.
Here's a list of what I've found is missing so far...
Transparent status bar
Dark Slim
Theme Engine
DPI changing in settings (Can probably still do it in build.prop)
List scroll animations
Probably more...
But it's all superficial stuff like this. The 'under the hood' type stuff all seems to work well.
