[Q] Newbie on ICS needs help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello SGS guys and girls,
I've recently installed my first ICS ROM (Slim ICS 3.2 with Semaphore 1.0.0s), i'm still exploring it. There are two annoying things that i can't handle:
1. Caller ID picture size: The pictures are over-zoomed, only a small part (about the one fourth) is visible in full screen. Is there a way to 'stretch to fit' the images?
2. USB tethering: I used Widgetsoid switcher to enable/disable tethering on GB ROMs. Now the widget can't switch tethering i have to set it manually in the config menu. Could you recommend an app which does the job?
Thanks in advance,
Vince

Tried to flash using CWM 3.0.0.7, wiped everything and it just kept booting me back into cwm. Maybe I had a bad download, I'll try again and post back.
mine flashed just fine, so far everything works including netflix and youtube.

Are you using CWM? If so, are you using 3.0.0.7 or 3.0.0.8?
Great to see you came back to drop a rom... Will check this out soon.

Chingy.. Nice job
I flashed yours (I try most ROM's) to see if you fixed any of the problems I am having with my 3.0 ROM and you did get much further than I did. I did find one or two that I am still wrestling with.
In yours:
1) Can not add the password to voice mail in Settings > Call
2) Voice mail is the phone number instead of *86. Probably related to 1
3) No MMS when WiFi active - Works fine with WiFi off
4) Camera will not save to phone storage (EMMC) - FC'd 2 times out of 5 tries
5) Looks like 6 bar only using first 4 but I can't confirm that
In mine:
1, 2, and 3 I am still having trouble with. Have not touched the 6 bar or Rosie settings
And in closing:
Hope this helps now back to mine.
And above all I would love to borrow the Rosie Settings if you don't mind.

Dialing *86 works fine it is adding the password in call settings that didn't.
I will try the camera again later.
So it's Sense 3.0? Sigh, 3.0 is useless to me until we get a 800x480 leak since I see distortion that nobody else sees I would love a 2.1 rom though!

I'm with you on the 3.0 distortion issue. This is kinda why I only work on 2.1 and 2.1/3.0 Hybrids.
Nicely done ...pretty fast haven't noticed any lag. Free men was @ 95megs
One request if you can add in the setting to disable the 3.0 lockscreen

Ram will free up once things settle. It got up to about 140 free when I checked a little while ago
Haven't found anything other than camera will not save picture to phone storage.
Just logged into the hub ,widgets,ringtones scenes etc...all downloaded installed.
The weather lockscreen from wdfowtys inc2 is the only one that almost shows 100 degree temps.
I like this one a lot ....oh did I say its fast
Just did kill all and refreshed mem upto 164 free megs
Not a bug but when using different skins the notification dropdown is difficult to see because everything is transparent. The default skin has a white background so no problems there.
Could we have a 4x4 app drawer mod?

[Q] Lock screen wallpaper, Density and Vibration in ICS roms :)

Hi guys,
I want to ask some questions relating to ICS roms. I'm sorry if they were asked somewhere else but searching everywhere and I couldn't find the answers I need.
1. Lock screen wallpaper: Is lock screen wallpaper in ICS roms downgrade in term of quality? I found them very blurry and bad comparing to GB
2. Vibration + sound: I saw MIDNOTE had an addon to fix this problem, with Sound toogle but after changing to Sound Vibration, I still did not get vibration working with notification for SMS.
3. LCD Density: any apps compatible with ICS to change the density out there? without editing the build.prop?
4. Battery: with all the ICS roms out there atm, how are their battery life comparing to GB roms?
Anyone know the answers?
Thanks a lot for reading and answering. Really appreciate that

1. I changed lockscreen successfully on all the current ICS releases (yes, I gave all of them a go before settling for imilka's AOSP) from Google gallery without any noticeable quality degradation.
2. can't help with that, because I never use vibration, so I've never expored it
3. don't be afraid of editing build.prop. It's a piece of cake using Rom Toolbox. Just backup your original build.prop and give it a go.
All other LCD changers are fairly unreliable (bootloops and such).
4. my battery life was pretty good with all of them, especially with AOSP. I managed to squeeze out 5+ hours of screentime yesterday (no gaming though). I think it's safe to say that battery life equals or even exceeds the GB one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for your answer
1. I did that too, but the pic look very bad. Really dont know why
3. Thanks a lot. Gave it a try and successful in changing to 240 dpi
4. I will test it further. Glad to hear that

[Q] ICS Stunner 1.4.19

Good morning guys,
am I the only one who uses the Phone at 200dpi tabletmode with Supernote or Freenote, as described in the OP of the Stunner thread?
I think both apps are great, except that the font is way to small. I haven't found a way to increase the font size.
How do u guys use them? Only as Sketchbook?
thanks in advance
k!DDa
2 ways to do it!
Settings > Display > Font size
and
Settings > Accessibility > Large text
I am using Stunner on 200 as well anything smaller made finger navigation (particularly the soft keys - home, back etc) too cumbersome. I actually find the normal text size comfortable though.
Regards,
Josh
thanks, but that doesnt work in the supernote app^^
i mean, I need to zoom-in-function or sth similiar

[Q] 【Help】CM7.2.0 ICS Editon Beautify problem

Hello, guys.
First of all, sorry for my poor English...
Here is the thing: I applied the ICS theme to CM 7.2.0 and added some tweaks to make it perform better. But there's one thing I can't figure out.
Here's the picture.(What??? Upload picture is not permitted?? It said "URL Only..")
Doesn't matter, here's a URL direct to my post on a Chinese Android Develop website. The only picture in that post (main post, 1st floor) is just what I want to upload.http://bbs.angeeks.com/thread-2207289-1-1.html Under the notification power widget button, there's a green "light"(I really don't know which word to use, sorry). And I want to change it to blue, just like the ICS ROM.
Can anybody help me to achieve that? Thanks a lot.
Maybe I'll upload my Rom on Xda for the first time :laugh: .
Go to Settings > CyanogenMod > User Interface > Notification Power Widget > Color for status display
Enter a value like #ff4598c2 - that's the closest I could get to the ICS-blue
Thanks a lot~ I tried to set this in ROM so that some user with little experience won't have to do the steps you said at first place. Anyway, seems there's no easy way to do that, I think I'd better let them follow the steps themselves.
Thanks again, buddy.
