[DEV] Oh hey, Galaxy Nexus full System dump (Ice Cream Sandwich)

Hey guys,
Thanks to Paul O'Brien over at MoDaCo we now have a full system+recovery dump of the Galaxy Nexus running Ice Cream Sandwich.
http://android.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/04-nov-icl23d-galaxy-nexus-boot-recovery-r51

This is really cool.

Wow, hopefully now developers can create ICS inspired custom roms. Cheers!

there's like 10 of these over at the dhd section lol

No ... This is a system dump from the phone ... Not an SDK dump ... This good ...

Where did you hear this?

These are the files you need to port a device. They need to be altered severely to run on the incs. Extreme development knowledge is needed to make use of this. However a developer could grab bits and pieces from it if they have greater knowledge in one area than another.

The ics update will be coming to this and many other htc devices as stated yesterday to myself in a bell store by an htc rep.

but it won't come anytime this year, probably end of Q1 or Q2 2012.

As usual, doesn't have incredible s inside the namelist...

incredible s is abandoned already i think lol

if it comes to sensation xl, with has almost same specs, just better cpu, it will be for sure ported to incredible s (if htc doesn't release it officially)

You guys are reading into this way too much.
All they did was give a few obvious ones that would get the upgrade. They never said the rest of their products weren't.

What developers can do with this?

Let me quote myself:
"Right now[...]"
You see? I'm talking about what they've said so far, but what'll happen in the future; sorry, I can't tell and therefore I won't do anything else then hope that HTC will give us an official update to 4.0.
But from what Google said when they showed 4.0, I think that it'll come to the IncS. Sometime.
And to your last part; no, they didn't.
"We’re continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich."
From the same link that I linked in my previous post. So, I'm fully aware of the fact that this only seems to be a preliminary statement from HTC.

Samsung ICS FAIL, how will HTC do?

I can't help but to laugh at this. I thought ICS wasn't going to be tampered with as much by all the phone makers. This is a video uploaded by SamsungFirmwares (unofficial leak) so I assume it is pretty much what they are getting on the GSII or Skyrocket. What a fail. Glad I didn't switch to the Skyrocket or GSII, I feel bad for all you that did. I'll take a locked (soon to be unlocked by Evil) Vivid rather than the crap Samsung is making with ICS. Can't wait to see what HTC does with ICS.

To be equally fair, no Samsung beta ROM has looked very (if at all) different from the final product.

True... But I've had an Infuse, and we got loads and loads of leaks from Samsung and they were all very similar to the final product. That reminds me... I wonder if the Infuse even has GB yet, it was promised back in August if I remember correctly lol.

that may be, but for the OP to claim that it was official Samsung that uploaded the video is inaccurate. that leak is very beta with many unworking features. i'm not sure why anyone would think that manufacturers werent going to rape ICS anyway. HTC will do the same thing with Sense....Moto will do the same thing with their 'Not-Blur'....they will all get raped. laughing and pointing doesnt do any good for the android community at all. SMH

Agreed. The only aftermarket UI that I can tolerate is Sense, so I can perfectly understand why people want the full AOSP experience so badly.

Sense has some serious polish to it though. Look at the intuitive lockscreen HTC made with the rings, now compare it to the Touchwiz lockscreen. Touchwiz widgets have nothing on Sense too. The way Sense links everything is very unique too. I don't find Touchwiz that different from AOSP at all... That's why I got so bored with development on the Infuse.

I'm a graphic designer and thus am probably more picky than most... but... that's called Bad Color Representation.
When white is displayed as light blue and green looks neon green, your display is either broken or, just simply junk...
If your TV looked like that, you'd return it.
I have no idea why people seem to think it is not only acceptable, but preferable in their phone.
and yes, I have owned one... for 1 week... I actually cringed when my phone would ring, because it meant I had to look at that screen.... I returned it for my sanity, stating "it must be defective, Samsung could not have done that on purpose".

ICS roms

Is there any custom ICS roms? sorry for sounding stupid but I cant find any.

Seems like there are 2 available and the developers have moved away from xda. One is made by Pirateghost and called Rum Float: http://blog.androidninjas.com/rom-dev/htc-vivid/rum-float/
The other is made by WildChild and you have to register to see the vivid section here: http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/

Anyone tried these custome ROMS?

Hi xda,
It would seem that I've jumped into this a little late, but what happened to make all the cooks leave xda and ignore the Vivid, Velocity etc.
Sorry but I've been away from xda for about 12 months while living in Blackberry-land.
I'd really like an ICS ROM for my Velocity without HTC's bastard 'Sense' bloatness.
Also - is getting root access to the Velocity as easy as it was for the HD2?
Cheers;

CM9 port is being worked on. Check the dev thread. Other than that, there are Sense ICS ROM's available, just not many here.. at this point.
As far as what happened, no need to stir up bad memories Look through some of the threads from last month and you'll figure it out. In the mean time, follow the golden rule, and the rules of the forum, and maybe they'll start trickling back in

I am using Wild Childs at&t build of ics. It is awesome! He did an outstanding job with the rom. Silky smooth, looks like stock without the bloat! Plus with the mods here in the forums like extended menu, signal icon changer, and some other mods you can't beat it. This phone rocks hard!

IMO its the lesser of all evils. Every brand has their own "skin". So even if you prefer AOSP, you might as well get the brand with the best looking and best functioning skin. Of course there is the nexus phones, but those aren't for everyone.

Agreed. I just don't know that I could talk myself into the investment of a device that runs software that I hated, with the possibility of not be able to change it. Granted there are things being worked on now (CM9), but let's be real, this phone was released in November and to this point we haven't seen anything Sense-less (for reasons beyond the dev's control - just got kernel source 10 days ago fcs), it would be very tough for me to buy the device at this point if I hated Sense . I don't know how long shayla's had theirs though...

S-off discussion

Starting this thread for any discussion of the s-off tool in development or s-off talk in general. Hopefully this will help keep the development thread clear of chatter.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA

Good idea, I wish there was more of this on XDA.
Perhaps if for each development project there was a dedicated thread for chatter, expressions of thanks, etc people would feel more comfortable using it.
Development threads might not grow to thousands of entries, with almost 0% of the entries actually about development.
I'm new here, post count is very low - but my posting habits won't change when I eventually get to 10 posts - unless I do get around to actually doing some Android development I can't see a reason for posting in the dev area.
I guess though that some dev's may prefer it the way it is, as a sign of recognition, or something...

thank you for doing this, i was just thinking the same thing

Yay we can yap! ..lol.. is it done yet? Jk..i hope we get it soon. I hate being left behind on GB cuz of my non-upgraded bootloader..
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using Chuck Norris.

Honestly you are not missing much imo. GB was so damn efficient I don't see a huge revolutionary change. ICS is very smooth and fast with the help of the developers many to be named I don't want to leave anyone out. But don't feel like you're so far behind bc you are not. Only recently has there been a few more roms to try out.

will s-off make it say easier to get ASOP type roms on to this phone?

Not necessarily, but it will work for all devices (vivid, holiday, velocity) with no porting and wou will be able to flash everything right from your phone, no computer needed.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA

Having s-off has its advantages. Having being part of the beta I can tell its great.
The best for it is being really for developing New Roms and aosp. Makes a lot less of a hassle to flash New kernels and firmware.
I'm sure we won't have to wait much longer for the beta to be over, its a fairly simple process but they have to make sure its foolproof so we don't have a lot of bricks like we suffered with the ota release that happened.

Got my new Vivid!

Arrived today from Amazon (penny phone!). Called my brother, he reported good volume and very clear quality. Seemed the same on my end, so my call volume and quality is not a problem.
Activation was easy, and set-up included a question about HTC-something or other that would check on my phone use. I was able to decline that, but I intend to get rid of all the CIQ stuff.
Right now it is upgrading to ICS, I am looking forward to it.
Wheee!

Welcome! I'm new to the dev scene here myself too but it's not hard to get started, especially with the Vivid. I did the S-off trick with a coated paper clip in one try, you just need to be careful and get the right contacts. Just be sure to read the SuperGuide, the Guide, and the Tutorials before actually downloading any zips and trying to flash them. It's very very important to thoroughly read all directions, as the people around here know exactly what works and what will brick your phone... I know from experience as I'm on my second Vivid.
Once you're Boot Unlocked, Rooted, and S-off, the Vivid is your oyster and you'll have a ton of fun flashing it with new ROMs, Kernals, and MODs.

I have yet to see miui for the vivid. Obviously I'm looking in the wrong place. I am used to all of the phones I have had with tons and tons of roms but I guess some phones get better marketing than others and are a lot more popular.

I think there is one, but it's basically sense stripped stock rom with the miui features added

Thanks to all, seems like a great group. My last phone was an LG Optimus V, and compared to that the Vivid is a rocket!. Very snappy. I rooted it, took the sd-card from the Optimus and put it in the Vivid. DL'd TiBu and restored all my apps and their data. All working the way I like it.
I have been lurking on these forums for a couple of weeks, got lots of good tips already. I'll post some screen shots one of these days. I am not much of a Sense fan, prefer my old favorite launcher. Slowly de-bloating the thing, ATT puts way too much junk on the phones, but they all do.
Thanks again.

Screen Shots
As promised, a couple of screen shots. Notice the app drawer, I have 50% transparency on that. Also notice the icons at the bottom. The first is All apps, second is Apps I installed, third is called Tools and I can put anything I want in there, same for the fourth one called Fun.
My widget is BeWeather Pro. The only app I put on my home screen is ICE: Emergency. I recommend it.

Welcome! I have to say that you picked one of the harder devices to develop for, but there's a strong community here and elsewhere. There are many things in motion for this device, although you may have to look elsewhere for them.

I have yet to see miui for the vivid. Obviously I'm looking in the wrong place. I am used to all of the phones I have had with tons and tons of roms but I guess some phones get better marketing than others and are a lot more popular.
