Wait for GalaxyICS team build.
In Ace section you will found Camera working for Ace, GalaxyICS team working source for our device to.
so wait it on Galaxy ICS site news.

There is a discussion thread about it , why to create a new thread again ?
Cheers

Camcoder and HW acceleration in that ROM will never work because qualcomm hasn't released the OpenMAX codecs... even if they manage to make it all working anyway, i'm not going to use that hacked and unstable rom - and probably very little group of people will use it. CM7.2 is just fine, why the hell someone wants ICS so badly, I haven't found a single advantage over Gingerbread except saying android 4.0 in about menu...
Go flash CM7 or any other GB rom and enjoy, stop waiting for something that you will never be satisfied with.

Okk.. thanx for your replies guys..
N yes CM7 is still gud but i have tried CM9 built 7 n its very smooth n stable.. only cam isn't working.. anyways.. thnx agn.. )

Agreed, CM9 stable and smooth, the only bug for me is camera, But CM7 has many many bugs ..
BTW, If you want to fix lockcreen and usb layouts go there:

Best Regards

It all depends on opinions, layout of ics is better than GB or cm7 so that attracts people towards ics. I'd definitely use it if they manage to get camera working.

You are the one that has bugs in his mind, obviously. CM9 stable? CM7 buggy? Who are trying to screw here mate? ONLY bug that CM7 has for our device is camera orientation - but fix for that exist, although i'm not using it - because the bug is easy to understand. If you start the camera app while holding your phone in landscape mode, orientation if fine. If you start it in portrait mode, then it rotates for 90* - you can rotate it back to where it should be in just one tap on the screen.
CM9? LDPI UI optimisations suck big time, lacks RAM, needs swap to operate normally on our phone -> LAGS, heavy duty apps tend to crash, the rom itself is bigger than CM7 -> less internal memory left -> sd-ext a must -> more LAG! Not to mention camera... there is some other tiny stuff that bug me, but theese are the major ones.
Gotta screw arround to make V6 SuperCharger working right, no hassle on Gingerbread. Half of apps need to be designed for ICS, GB apps tend to have bugs too, so more and more fails i don't even want to touch on. Does it still have problems when i try another lockscreen style other than default? Accept button on caller reciever screen showing the half only... i just don't have strenght to go on.
Was locking up on my phone pretty frequently, so i returned back. And you know what - with a little bit of time, you can make your Mini run like a completely different phone - i deleted like 20 apps that come stock with official CM7.2 - system is much more responsive and i keep all my apps in internal memory - don't even have sd-ext and swap partitions on my SD card (that would slow up my system since i have class 4 sd card, but it will acctualy slow the system down no matter what card i am using). Slammed V6 SuperCharger script on it - flies!. And, to add the cherry to the cake - i've set cpu governor to ondemand and lowest frequency to 122MHz - happy battery! Don't need to worry if my deepsleep works or not...
Sorry, I just had to write this post, somebody would think CM9 in this stage acttualy is better than CM7.2. I am not saying it can't get better, but you really got to understand that there are no ICS libs drivers for our device, and hacking Gingerbread ones won't make us go anywhere - its like putting a Yugo 45hp engine in a Bugatti... i mean cmon, its better to tune that crappy engine a little bit, dump out the back seats, lighten the body, than to put the engine in the heavy Bugatti. Hope you understood this anology, it really explains the situation about ICS for our device. (yes we have Adreno 200 GPU drivers, but transmission does not make the whole car )
Maybe i'll open somebody's eyes, maybe somebody will hate me, or somebody will find himself insulted - i don't give a damn, the situation is the way it is - there is no way arround it.
Cheers!

GalaxyICS haven't tass yet, so they cannot fix layouts for LDPI devices.
Best Regards

I'm glad you're open for chill disscusion - haven't saw that kind of person for a long time . Hats off!
Community patches... are they awesome and helpfull - yes for sure! But think of filling your SDcard with like 10 patches that you need to flash after flashing the ROM, and the incompatibility that might occur between them - that's not something i want to think of on my "daily drive" phone .
Yeah, they don't have our device and thats really unfortunate - but they will get it fixed. Untill then... again, tiny and undetailed ('cause of ldpi, not nececarily the rom - ICS really wasn't designed with LDPI in mind - but increasing the size WILL help!) icons in the notification bar, and some other stuff is not something that gets me to flash their rom, although i did it, just to see how far they came with developing some other stuff.
For not having the device, GalaxyICS team is doing a really great job IMO, kudos to devs!
I'm somewhat of a person who wants perfection, but this is far from stable, again, in my oppinion. If you can use it - go for it, but i think people are flashing custom ROMs to make their device better in all areas, not just the looks or the performance, which in CM9 roms are both mediocre. Our device is crap, and the moment I (and you, at some point) understood that it's outdated POS, i realised that i can't get much better than this.
Guys, people are begging for CM7 on Galaxy Young - and you were (probably) doing that too. Now we want CM9, and this trolling and spamming arround the forum just discourages the devs and they will eventually leave and get another device for which they will develop roms. Think about it - they are not diretcly paid for their hard work - they pull out some money through ads and such things. Some of them don't get a single penny!
I've written something i did not want to, but hey, i'm not in the mood to retype all this in another shape and form - just fine like it is now.
If you wait patiently (for the OP, and for the rest that are waiting), try out some other roms and tweaks, time will fly faster and you will probably learn some other things along the way!

I've tried some custom ROMs, I've read some reviews from the users of those ROMs. I wonder, why some people gets some bugs, and the others not getting that bugs?
Some people said that 'this ROM is very bad, everything force closes, laggy, blah blah blah. I've wipe data and cache but it's still...' but the others said 'this is the best ROM, no major bugs mentioned so far.'
What do you think makes this things happening?

How i see it is that user try out the ROM for 5-10 mins and don't run into problems and report thigs like this - that everything runs fine.
You should use it for quie a bit to try out every single par of it - maybe you won't recieve a call in that short period, but if you use it for a couple days, you sure will, and then you will notice the call accept button bug for example in CM9.
Also, not every person takes the bug the same way - somebody doesn't mind the call accept button bug, so they don't report it - you can accept the call but... yeah, its a unexplainable bug
This is just an example, many things go on like this. Also for the camera orientation bug in CM7.2 - i was always starting the camera in the orentation that doesn't cause the bug. Never tried to start it when rotating the phone, so i wasn't noticing the bug. Somebody is different than me, he starts the camera with his phone rotated - and poof, there you have the bug every time.

well i have tried almost all roms that have been released for at least a week before posting any review according to my experience even cm7 has a long way to go in terms of stability and performance. what actually happens is that we all keep tryin roms and roms but forget what a rom is made for. choice differs from person to person if i were asked to choose gb ics and jellybean on our mini then i would anytime go with gb. like if you like looks then miui stability stock or stock based customization cm based and so on and so forth.bugs are not in roms but in our mentality a dev works hard day and night just to see the smile on our faces which even he cant see so please dont spam and discourage any dev who knows if all our devs got together they might make a completely new os for our mini. all the devs i am with you and will always be with you.

Slow

I upgraded my milestone to 2.2.1 since then my phone has slowed down , opening or closing of apps takes time and sometimes it reboots itself , processing has slowed down eventually ,
Comments appreciated and help required
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
Try to Hardreset your phone...
I never had an issue like this...
Root it.
SuperCharge it.
Enjoy.
Try overclocking, or preferably try a new ROM already overclocked - that way you will get fresh rom + optimizations + OC = you will be pleased.
You don't even have to use supercharging as many roms already do great without it.
And many are slow as a snail to the point where the phone is unusable...
Not everybody loves clogged memory like you do lol
The guy wants it fast... not slow LMAO
Edit: Actually, you're kinda sorta almost right in some cases... as more and more devs are supercharging their roms
LMAO LOL ROFLLMALMAO
please, point out those which are slow, let us know
Search the forum for "redraw"
You may actually get 1 or 2 hits...
I edited my prior post indicating that you're right in a few cases...

I'm still waiting for those roms which you meant as "slow as a snail"
PS: it is not called supercharging, that's just your script. people used other values even before your "fancy" script.
Ya, but nobody dared to actually fix OOM memory groupings... bub
I even say in my OP... playing with minfrees is NOT memory management...
What I did IS memory management...
I control what goes where and when it gets killed.. that's the only way to do it
An app like AMM or AKMO will let you set minfrees for 6 slots.
That's it.
Big deal.
But stock froyo and stock gingerbread group apps differently nevermind all the different configurations of custom roms.
Hell, CM7 has NOTHING in the third slot.
With AMM you can set slot 3 to 100mb on CM7 and it won't do squat.
Edit: Of course, when I say "slow as a snail" it is my opinion based on a rom unsupercharged as compared to when it is supercharged.
So out of the box, HONO and MIUI are supercharged to begin with at the moment so except for those, all the others would feel slow to me.
To you, EVERYTHING is fast, because you like sloooooooooooooooooooow with lots of apps that you aren't using clogging up memory.
Which is NOT what the OP was asking for

[POLL] Is CM7 SK3 ready for daily ROM?

Just wondering about your opinions.
If not, can you point out why?
i don't even install it but my answer is no.
people reporting some tiny but annoying bugs. i can understand and accept battery darining but not working p and backspace letter at the keyboard is another thing.
i'm waiting one or two more revisions.
no
from what i read have to many bugs
I voted for no only for the lag and some conflicts with 3gwatchdog but besides that it workes well for a daily use considering the fact that is a early release and it's a long buggy road 'till nightlyes.
Still unstable as what I see in the moment. And yeah, one or two more revisions, then we have to see. But I'm using it as my daily. Not always taking video, I have HTC_IME KB, not fond of using data access and so on..
My answer would be no, it's not. A good ROM for me is a stable one, a smooth looking one and performance... CM7 for Optimus Black has none of this so far.
And also I like using the web browser on my phone, this is nearly impossible with this ROM, but your Nova ROM was just perfect for my needs.
i´ve got a few problems with video calling in gtalk.
and some apps arnt working as they should (eg torch).
also my rear speaker is fu**ed up, but atm i dont know whether it depends on cm7.
things like battery drain and dead touch spots probably result from the fact that CM is just a ported software, so no optimizations are done especially for OB unlike on Nova.
so, for now, "no" to daily ROM
It is like driving a car, it has to be stable otherwise you will be stay on the road for whole day fixing stuff. I say so because I don't have a spare phone - but love to try the new thing and report bugs to you guys.
I am using it!
I think that can be used as daily (anyhow keep your back up close just in case)
I do not understand how some of the respondant can you say that something have a bad taste when you addmit that you never taste it?!

Me

and a positive reaction ) i like it a lot..it reminds me of my x10..and for me thats the joy...of having a costum rom...seeing how a rom with bugs develops into a bugless rom.i can use the phone even if i press 10 time to write "p" or if i cant make a video in hd..btw if you set on high the video works perfectly...ohh and i managed to get rid of battery drain by luck i guess...i charged to 100% then wiped battery stats...
Sent from my Optimus Black using Tapatalk
I say No. Is very stable and usable, but have some bad bugs, that do not allow daily use for many people. I use this ROM normally, but for identifying problems, bugs and help make this ROM better. Now i don't have any battery drain (5% per 8 hours - awesome), don't have lags.
can live with it, but I us it only for 1 day. I'm in the configuration phase for the moment.

+1, I'm waiting for the stable one..
Very usable, indeed... and I'm already using it as my daily since my main purpose for the OB is only for SMS, phone calls, taking pictures and web browsing (through WiFi)... That's it. Everything else is like novelty to me.
Though as the saying goes-- 'It's better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and need it.' -- There are features that has to be there, that needs to be stable, so as the need arises we'll have something up our sleeves. That's the reason why I still voted NO.

ICS vs GB and CUSTOM ROMS

All custom roms naturally have issues at this stage, some less some more. But gb rom takes the cake ( still ) on stock camera (sgs ) which have tons of modes but alas the zoom is old fashioned and not like in the ICS which has a slider. Then further, the contact photos are maybe small ( not like MIUI unfortunately ) but nevertheless, clear which u cannot say about ICS. And in terms of customization MIUI is the best there is. You customize dialler, boot animation, boot animation sound ( wow ! ) flip to silence like in HTC , long press on apps to close, etc,etc,etc. The list goes on . Too bad they do not have TV OUT which I need cause of my kids. But what I mean to say is so far besides the speed , ICS still does not have features one expects from such a heavily advertised firmware from Google. Cause if at this stage After the release of the Official ICS in Nexus, Gingerbread and MIUI is still better ( at some points , major or minor ) then maybe we are awaiting Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind as far as ICS is concerned. And Apple IOS will still keep ahead in app stability and features. The developers are doing their very best but in the end source codes are with Google and Samsung. Hope for the best and my best to the developers !

I understand the need to customize some things to gain a good overall layout. But in ICS it all seems pretty good as is, it has a certain charm. Still you could change bootanimation, bootsound ect if u want, it's just not that user friendly (like in miui). And I don't know how many features you are missing in ICS, there are roms with alot of great stuff built in (infinitum ROM does a pretty good job). Hold to close? Also built-in.
Thanks for the reply. ( was'nt really a question but always good to discuss )
You are correct. ICS IS more interesting and the customization in MIUI is not all that needed but if I get MIUI like Contact pics and Stock like Camera with a great zoom ( stock camera is full of options , which we frankly hardly use but...what else can you expect out of a high end phone ? ) I am happy cause isn't ICS supposed to be better then GINGERBREAD ? Cause remember, these phones are not cheap ! So we expect perfection or close to it...And come to think of it , none of my friends complain about anything in thier iPhones ! No heavy customizations but a nice phone. If ICS does not meet my expectations by end of this year I will switch to iPhone.
Thx.

Obviously you haven't ever seen ios. People complaining,because it s so simple and intuitive even on a programming level...not counting that ios remains unchanged through time despite new versions coming out,graphically talking,adding two or three features.if you have a look at android you will notice a big difference between the respective 2, 3, and. 4 firmwares in terms of use and design.ios does not improve but keeps adding features that other phones have already since ever,treating and advertising them as new...I wouldn't buy an iPhone right as I think of it now.

You are correct when u say I have never used ios. Seen only my friends phone. Never used one myself. In fact, please don't get me wrong - I like the feel of ICS and even my friends do ,who have the iPhones.
But now I sort of feel let down by Android cause they had advertised earlier that a brand new operating system called ICS would be soon released in Nexus with new camera( features like editing, scene modes like never before and quick responsive shutters and so on ) and a great thing like Beam but the introduced version in the Nexus is not all that great ! Speed and other technicals are great no doubt but like for instance TV out in Nexus is not there ! Camera is still better in Galaxy 2. The Contact photos is smudgy and quite ugly. And That is Google's mistake right ? So are customers expected to compromise instead because Google is not giving HD quality pictures in contacts list ? And how do I edit and delete my contacts in a group ? ( multiple contacts delete instead of one by one ) But you see, Gingerbread is providing this feature though ! ( to delete Select All function ) One would say,...but ICS cannot think of everything ! Right.
But isn't ICS an upgrade from Gingerbread ?
I feel ICS are still in the infancy but also feel that too much was promised on the onset and that was not honest of Google. ( please read previous posts of oncoming ICS and it's vast features. And on the other hand see what Nexus has to offer now. Not really the same I must say..
Take care guys, appreciate your inputs !

Hi

can i install the ICS?
second where can i find guide with all the links all i need to know and do in order to install it in the easier way
Hi !
To reply to the first letter about aroma installer....i hate this **** ! Did to me too. Same thing. Press the three button, go into download mode and install gingerbread, root it and decide if you want to stay with it or still try other roms. ( ICS is still not 100% stable so I would advice you gingerbread xxjw4 2.3.6 which is good or a custom rom like MIUI stable )
For the next question, do the above and use Odin to download any new version gingerbread.

Can a ROM make my phone quicker?

I'm with the stock LG ROM on the LG Thrill.
Can I do something to make my phone faster.
Yes roms and the right tweaks and this phone is awesome

A custom ROM will make your phone run faster. There are you can tweak the build.prop and other things like scripts to improve the phone as well. Right now I just flashed the Mokee v1.0 ROM and it is the best ROM I have ever used on this phone. I would definitely recommend getting a CM7 ROM as long as you don't care about 3D and HDMI as they are broken currently with CM7.
I find the phone quite snappy, but then again I'm coming from a Samsung Epic. That phone was good but is getting very long in the tooth. I'm using Thrillseeker 2.1 on mine and so far I can say yes, it does improve the phone's speed. Next on the to try list is CM7(which is downloading on my phone as we speak). It's a boring day at work, might as well be productive, right?

Sometimes the phone is blazing, other times it chugs like molasses.
I've slowly chipped away at the issues, because it's obvious not everybody has these issues, but considering how many times I've tried custom ROMs and kernels, and nothing fixes it, it has to be something I'm running.
Over time, I got rid of Folder Organizer, because that seemed to make it chug. The device seems to have very little RAM and it goes REALLY slow when it's close to full. I also tried things like deleting the downloaded files for the GameLoft titles to speed up the media search on boot. (Less files searched, less RAM used, right?)
Recently one change I made that seemed to help IMMENSELY was uninstalling SwiftKey. I'd LOVE if I could get some help confirming. The circle-swipe to unlock seems much smoother, even after a day, after getting rid of SwiftKey. I'm guessing it just used too much RAM.
At this point, I'd be at a lost otherwise. I changed launchers and used CPU monitors to see what's using up all the CPU, but came up empty.
Additionally, if you haven't tried using Seeder, I'd install that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032

[Q] To be or not to be Android 4.0 for Xperia X8 Stock Kernel?

To be or not to be Android 4.0 for Xperia X8 Stock Kernel?
I know about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473602 , but it does not work nearly all!
Continuation of port ICS to Xperia X8 Stock Kernel?
I now have GingerCM, Stock Kernel, because I can not be unlocked bootloader,because release date 11W50.
Please, help me!
Sorry for my ugly English, I'm from Russia.
First of all we need 2.3 for stock kernel. Second X8 is Armv6 which is kinda silly for stock ICS... Anyways I support you!
Hit the THANKS button if my post was useful!
Cheers,

I suggest you to try FroyoBread v23b then put X8 Overclock module and download No-Frills CPU Control from Google Play Store and have fun!

vlad157, do not need a lot of errors on it
There will never be a full working ics for stock kernel. I see where users that can't unlock there boot loader are coming from but it will never happen.
But come on its a low end 2010 hand set that was never ment to see any thing past 2.1. But thanks to the development here stock kernel users can have 2.3

Here's my opinion, and please don't go tl;dr -__-
ICS, as cool as it is, was kinda a flop, IMO. Many devices that I observed (excluding the Nexus line) which had an update GB to ICS are now horrid to use. Unless your device was built on ICS (take my One X) or has specs that were meant for ICS (take my Xperia S), then it'll be a horrible experience (my Xperia Ray). JB is by far, 100 times better, but that's not my point. My point is, unless your phone was meant for or can handle ICS, I'd rather not bother using it then.
Can anyone name me 1 decent feature from ICS that we're able to enjoy ? Face unlock ? I don't think so. Smoother performance than GB ? Yeeeaa I don't think so. Camera enhancements ? Nope, didn't think so...see, that's the problem when you're struggling to run the damn OS itself. You work so hard on making it run in the 1st place, you can't even enjoy it like Google intended.
Sure, there's a new UI and all, but so what ? AFAIK, AChep already took care of that with his themes and UI layouts. Cooler launcher ? Tried Holo Launcher yet ? Nope. Can't think of a single improvement ICS brings over GB or Froyo. I'm speaking from experience, believe me. It's no smooth sailing on Unlocked Bootloader as well.
I remember at one point it felt like my phone was being held together by duct tape. Swap, sd-ext partitions, RAM boosters, tweaks, superchargers. Just so I could run ICS. One day I had enough. I wanted to try ICS/CM9 so badly that it reached a point my phone was no longer usable. Lags, reboots, half working cam. It may be better now but I still stand my case.
So take it from me, enjoy Froyo and GB. ICS is no big deal. Never was. The only drawback I see is app compatibility and even then there are jokers making newer and better apps which work on GB too. That's all I'd like to say .

If you guys mention that why not that Xperia 2010 {X8} can't run JB/ICS on stock kernel
Just go get a point MSM7X27 is not a performance chipset but it's a chipset for low price boundary.
Without bootloader unlocked just stay on MiniCM7/GingerDx and others which performance rather impressive and less bug
Re figure the Xperia X8 specs & even minor overclock(Low Usability) + low ram
