Introduction
Teamhacksung (the rest of them really!) has been porting ICS (to be CM9) for the Galaxy S and they feel that it has reached a state where it would benefit from public testing. However this is still a very early versions and there will be bugs. Bug reports are allowed in this thread only. Please check the known issues section before reporting a bug. The most minor bugs are welcomed (we'd love to know them, but we may not fix them instantly).

Frequently Asked Questions
My calendar sync isn't working!
Install the latest build and gapps and gapps fixer. If it still doesn't work, wipe your data.
App X isn't working!
Check the list at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1402210 (unaffiliated with teamhacksung) first and check if it works on other ICS phones. Most likely, it's the application's problem, not ours.
Can I mount the phone as mass storage via USB?
Starting from BUILD12, mass storage is the default configuration (might not apply to existing installations). The below command can be used to change into USB Mass Storage mode. USB Mass Storage mode is always used in recovery.
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
If you want to switch to MTP mode use
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb
Please reboot after executing the command.
I can't adb into the phone!
Please install Nexus S drivers from Google. (Or Galaxy Nexus's driver in MTP mode)
Can I flash other modems?
You may flash modem packages designed for CM7.
How do I take a screenshot?
The screenshot taking function is built into ICS. Hold volume down + power.
Can I use CM7 kernels?
No, the kernel has modifications to make graphics, camera, data counter and data limit work.
Can I disable LED Notification?
Yes. Untick Settings -> Display -> Pulse notification light.
Maps keeps asking me to sign in even though I'm signed in!
Ignore the sign in dialog and pull down the notification menu. Answer the request for permission. Do this a few times and Maps will work.
How do I enter Galaxy S Settings (Device Settings)?
Type "am start com.cyanogenmod.AriesParts/.AriesParts" from adb. Or starting from BUILD 7, it is available as an icon in your launcher.
Is there a Captivate version?
A captivate build from the same source (but with captivate config) is available here.
What's working? Why is there only a list of issues?
Everything else not listed are supposed to be working (aside from the usual CM7 bugs). If they're not listed, please post so that they can be added to the list of issues. A list of issues is far more useful from a development standpoint.
Why am I getting notified that my data partition is getting full when I have 1+ GB free?
Your /datadata partition, a smaller partition, is getting full.
I want to install gazillion apps on my phone and /datadata is too small
Run the following and datadata will no longer be used on next reboot. Your phone might become slower though.
Code:
touch /datadata/.nodatadata
IRC?
#cmsgs on freenode
My adb shell isn't root!
Run "adb root" to restart adb in root mode.
Why is "Android OS" battery usage so high?
It's just a reporting change in ICS. Android OS now includes battery usage from more components than in Gingerbread, the actual battery drain is the same.
What is "Random Offset" during installation?
It's just a harmless message given as a verbose logging due to the new ASLR security feature in ICS. It is not an error.
How do I get the latest version of Rom Manager without market?
If the bundled version doesn't work, update from http://download.clockworkmod.com/rec...RomManager.apk.
I would like feature X
This thread is not the place for it. Submit it to the CM bug tracker once an official RC is released.
Thanks

Thanks again FaultException for your time and effort which I know the Vib community here appreciates it 800% !
Fault Exception is there any way you could committ the yagf2 GPS fix in to this rom. It makes a huge difference in GPS lock speed over stock.

I'll look into it. If it does make that much of a difference, and I have permission from the authors, I'll throw it in CM9 and 7.

Issues/Workarounds/Tips:
- Incompatible apps Amazon mobile - Install Amazon App Store, and the Amazon Mobile from Amazon App Store - Camera-settings-Resolution will hang the camera app and will need a restart of the tablet to return to camera app again.
Install the "With Picasa" version of gapps to get the original non-CM10 camera that does not exhibit this bug. - Sleep Of Death (tablet wont wake-up) - Upgrade to v6.1
- Adobe Flash (as a browser plugin) does not work
This is not officially supported on Jelly Bean, nor will it be on any future versions of Android
You may sideload the ICS version from here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html - Google Talk Video chat crashes
- Adjusting Light Sensor Levels crashes settings...
Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Light Levels (select Use Custom) > Edit Other Levels - Calculator force closes when you start it - Use a real calculator
- Setting - Launcher - Homescreen, when "Show dock divider" is unchecked and then hit the virtual Home button- "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped."
This is a Trebuchet bug, hopefully an updated base will have it fixed.

Like all cm roms gapps are installed separately.
Grab the latest from RootzWiki here:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
You'll want to grab the latest for 4.1.1 since this is Jellybean
^^ good thing you reminded this. I'd have flashed the ICS apps instead.
Great

I think I included the right files for 3g to be functional, but I have a wifi only model.
I can definitely work with you to get it debugged, if you can give it a shot.
Before you flash, if you can collect both logcat and dmesg, on the ICS release from Lenovo, it will help debug much faster.
Its then just a matter of comparing what is not happening in the logcat/dmesg of this rom.
Thanks

http://www.androidfileshare.com/ is the one Cybie was offering. It won't let you upload files >100mb until you create a login but it seems to work alright.
Is it possible that there is prmissions issue on the external SD card? I notced that I could not browse the external sd, or internal for that matter when connecting to my PC. n fact, other than the device eing detercted, I cannot browse anything on it and it does not show in My Computer.

How and when to Use the WebOS Doctor(Important):
Q: What’s the WebOS Doctor and when should I use it?
The WebOS Doctor is a program that has two main functions for HP TouchPad users. It can either update your version of WebOS or fix problems with a damaged WebOS by completely reinstalling it. If WebOS no longer boots or apps and preware have stopped working correctly, then you will need to resinstall WebOS with the Doctor. A failed or interrupted attempt at changing the partition sizes with WebOS preware app Tailor may cause these problems. To check what version of WebOS is currently installed go to Launcher(Up Arrow)/Settings/Device Info/ Version
Note(Important): You MUST uninstall Android before running the WebOS doctor. Failing to remove Android before running the Doctor can result in the process becoming stuck at 8-12% and potentially bricking the device. If you are currently stuck visit the thread below for information about fixing the problem. If you’re unable to use the tablet at all follow the instructions in Jcsullins TPDebrick thread.
The Official Fix your TouchPad ( 8-12% stopped, No SD, Opps reformat, $&^#[email protected]&# crap....) thread.(Rootzwiki)

Rom Flashing issues with CWM5 (Important):
Spoiler
The Problem:
-Developer Green has advised that using CWM5 to install(flash) a nightly or format the /data and /system partitions, may introduce corruption into the file system.
-It is advised to avoid updating though CWM5 for this reason.
-By installing Jcsullins new CWM6 you can avoid future corruption.(Included)
-CWM6 Download:
-Updating your Rom with CWM5 can cause the inode errors seen in double penguin mode while installing with the ACEMEInstaller3.
-Due to corruption introduced from flashing/Updating Roms though CWM5, your system partition may have errors.
The Solution: (Also a safe way to upgrade from CM9-CM10)
-Uninstalling CyanogenMod with the ACMEUninstaller and freshly installing with the ACMEInstaller 3 will resolve any possible issues.
-To avoid problems when updating from CM9-CM10 you should first make a full Nandroid backup, then uninstall CM9.
-Next Fully install CM9 using the ACMEInstaller3.
-Once Complete restore your CM9 Nandroid backup,
-Now you can safely update from CM9- CM10 with the ACMEInstaller3 or
-You can also safely flash the CM10 Rom and gapps package with CWM6.
-It’s fine to flash regular.zip files through CWM5; such as gapps files, fixes/patches and CWM6.zip These will not cause corruption and are safe for daily flashing.
-Use CWM6 from now on Download:
-Note* CWM6 has already been included for everyone using this guide to install CyanogenMod for the first time.

Partition Size Problems and ACMEInstaller3(Important):
The Problem:
-CM10 requires a larger partition size than CM9.
-The ACMEInstaller 3 is meant to increase the partition size from 300MB to 400MB.
-CM9 only needed 300MB but Jelly Bean is a larger Rom and requires more space(350MB).
-In some cases users have reported 0.0/400MB of space left after installing CM10.
-Although everything may still run fine it is recommend to leave at least a little space free. The consequences of running it without free space are not known.
How to monitor free System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
-You can use a free app,Quick System Info PRO, to check the size of your partitions and remaining free space, it should be = 387MB or 402MB. Either of these is acceptable and indicates that the ACMEInstaller3 worked correctly.
-Having a system size of 387Mib = 400MB and is perfectly normal after using ACME3
-Users report having a size of 394 after flashing to a new Rom. This is also acceptable.
-If your partition is an odd size or you get random reboots,then you may have encountered problems due to flashing you Rom.
Quick System Info PRO Video Link:
Quick System Info PRO Play Store Link:
-If you use the ACMEInstaller3 and then later restore your Nandroid backup of CM9, you will still retain the larger partition size.
-You can then use CWM or TWRP to safely flash from CM9-CM10 but flashing from CM10-CM9 can cause a boot loop.
How to free up System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
I believe I have located about 15.89MB of data we can safely delete. Android in space videos and Phone Ring tones are located @
root/system/media/videos & root/system/media/audio/ring tones.
X-plore File Manager, use this app to delete the files:
Note* X-plore needs to be given Root Permissions by clicking the 3 dots in the corner and choosing configuration. Here check your Root Access settings. SuperUser + Mount Writable, this is what it should say. Next you may need to reboot before it takes effect.

How to install Android 4.2 and 4.3 Builds on the HP TouchPad
Hello HP TouchPad users, Great News! Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Roms are now available. These Roms are almost fully functional except for a few that lack Bluetooth support see the Rom notes. Most builds have h/w video, Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, Sound & Mic support. Battery drain during sleep is low around (-4mA to -10mA) for most builds, see guide. Below you will find a comparison and overview of all the available Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Roms. Read the summarized descriptions for important information and notes about the builds. Remember many of these are testing builds, so Please make a nandroid backup and read the information carefully. Please thank and leave our incredible developers some feedback here or in the related threads.
General Unofficial Release Notes:
Working:
-Sound and Mic
-Camera
-H/W Video
-SDcard
-WiFi
-Most builds have a Low to medium battery drain during sleep -4mA to -10mA or -4mA to -30mA(See below)
Known Issues:
-Flashing CM9/CM10 Over CM10.1/Android4.2/4.3 through CWM or TWRP, can cause a boot loop.(use a Backup)
If your HP TouchPad is stuck in a boot loop or not responding Don't Panic! Try the following:
-Hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 30sec to force the TouchPad to Reboot.
-Hold down the Power button and click the Home key 14 times.
-Doing an install with ACMEInstaller can sometimes result in a boot loop.
-To fix the boot loop, Use a backup or flash the Rom and Gapps package through CWM or TWRP.
The usual HP TouchPad battery drain issues:
-If your battery is heavily drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
-When the battery is fully drained it can take the TP a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
-The USB cable that comes with the HP TP is often defective and breaks easily. Try using another USB cable if possible.
-The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
-To be safe don't let your TouchPad run out of Batteries ever!!
-You can add an automatic shutdown Rule
-AutomateIt, Play Store Link- What to do: New Rule/Trigger Battery level(Below 20%)/Action/Shutdown//save. Or
-Llama, Play Store Link- Location Profiles:Event tab choose + (at the bottom of the screen) Addcondition (battery Level Below 20%) Actions (turn off phone)
How to update/install Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Builds on the HP TouchPad
Disclaimer: Make a backup before installing any of these Roms! Testing builds should only be used by experienced users whom are familiar with recovering their device.
Clean install(Recommended):
When updating your version of Android its recommended to do a clean install of Android. You can do this by using your recovery(CWM or TWRP) to Format/Wipe the system data and the cache partitions. You can also fully Uninstall and Reinstall Android to accomplish a clean install. You will find a full step by step instructional video below. First choose an Android 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 Rom and Gapps package from the detailed guides. Next transfer the two .zip files to your Android device with the USB or direct download them. Watch the how to update video below for step by step instructions. note that you must have the correct Gapps for your version of Android or you may experience errors with the Keyboard, Play Store or other Google apps.
Note(Important):If you have not installed Android before, then start by using the "Easy Way" guide below and installing one of the prepared install packages. Once you have Android running make a Nandroid backup before trying the large selection of available Roms in this thread. If you are currently using an older version of Android like 2.3 or 4.0.1(CM7/CM9), then you should do a Full uninstall and reinstall. This fixes several problematic issues like increasing the system partition size from 400-600MB to accommodate larger Android 4.2+(CM10+) Roms. If you're currently using a newer Rom like CM10+ and have CWM6+ then you can upgrade with a clean install after increasing your system partition size. You can do this by using the WebOS Preware app Tailor, or by using a flashable 512MB zip located in Gradular's thread, How to guide for changing your system, data, and cache partition sizes to whatever you want.
How to check your Android version and System Partition size:
-Get the free app,Quick System Info PRO, to check the size of your partitions and remaining free space.
-Having a System Partition size of 500-600MB is needed when installing Android 4.2+ Roms.
-Check your version of Android by going to Settings/About Tablet/Android Version.
Tailor Video:
Don't forget! First make a Nandroid backup of your current setup! Full CWM and TWRP Video here:
Dirty Flash(Not Recommended):
If you wish to keep your current setup and have made a Nandroid backup, then you can attempt to upgrade using a Dirty flash. Download your selected Rom and gapps zips and flash them through CWM or TWRP recovery. Don't forget to wipe your caches, Click here to see a how to dirty flash your Rom video clip.I would only recommend doing this over similar Roms and only moving upwards version wise. For example CM10 to CM10.1 or Evevolv AOSP 4.3 to 4.4. Flashing CM10.2 to CM10.1 can cause boot loops, so be sure to have a backup before you attempt any Dirty flashing.
Clean Install vs Dirty Install Rom/Updates via Recovery: (After initial install with Acme3) ->Mpgrimm2 Quote
"Clean installing" a rom usually means to format the 3 basic partitions (& sometimes the /boot too depending on the rom/kernel script) and flash the rom as recommended by most devs to avoid issues (some rom installer scripts will handle the formatting for you, but shouldn't be assumed unless stated by the rom's developer. 9-14-13: See Attachment for example).
"Dirty Installing" a rom typically involves formatting the system & cache (sometimes only the cache :thumbdown: ) and flashing a rom to preserve /data partition with user apps & settings.
A cleaner method for this is to format all 3 partitions, flash rom, and restore only /data from a backup.
I've rarely seen dirty installs recommended by devs, but when I have seen them say it was "OK to try", it was done on the same rom/firmware base between incremental rom updates only (vs b/w CM7 - CM9 or CM9 - CM10, etc), and if you had a bug, you needed to go back and do a clean install before reporting it or expecting help. I will add that many people have been successful restoring their CM9 data after flashing CM10 & Gapps.

I've been referring people to your rootzwiki thread for awhile. Thanks for making one here.
Found it Roland! I'll PM BigSimon. Don't forget to add the "Edited: 2-13-13" so it matches the date on the Rootz thread, and maybe throw in that picture I posted showing the correct Palm,Inc folder contents.

This is not an issue with the ROM whatsoever. It is a feature of JB.

Hello, i'm a little confused by your statement. Are you saying that all devices using JB have issues playing flash videos in the Web Browsers? My Note 2 runs flash just fine with the Firefox Beta browser. Of course I had to manually install flash but videos play fine.
Did you see this note and try this method?
-Flash videos work in the Dolphin Browser, if you double tap the video after starting it video

I'm saying it's incorrect and disingenuous to state that problems with flash videos is a "known issue" with the ROM. Sure you can try to sideload it and use a third party browser to try and load flash videos, but when the base of the ROM, Jelly Bean, fundamentally does not support flash, it is not an "issue", and any functionality you achieve should be considered a bonus.

Thanks for the clarification, I do see your point. However the "Known Issues" section isn't there to list just problems with the specific Rom but the TouchPad problems in general. For-instance the charging issues are not specific to this Rom but to the TouchPad in general. Its simply a very frequently asked question that people should be made aware of, like using the ACMEInstaller3. If you have a look at my RootzWiki thread or YouTube Page you will see that dozens of people have asked about using flash. Adding a simple note about something we know is an issue for many people saves me from having to answer that question over and over again.
Perhaps a little rephrasing is in order like so.
-Streaming videos via flash in the Web Browsers is unsupported in JB and often only the Audio plays.
Note these are "Unofficial Release Notes" because we don't have official release notes.
I do appreciate peoples feedback and I will make some revisions to this. Thank you for your input:good:

I think what it is edited to now is more appropriate. Thanks. Also, it would appear the chrome update today alleviated the issues that were plaguing it previously. Anyone else confirm?

Thanks for your input and news about Chrome. I will test Chrome out on my TouchPad, its been so glitchy for so long........
I've Tested Chrome now and it appears to be working normally and without the keyboard disappearing, :victory:
I will now remove the note about chrome not working properly from the OP. Thanks again for testing it out and letting us know.:good:
New CM10 build!
Hello HP TouchPad Users, Great news!
I have just spotted a new Build of Jcsullins CM10 for the HP touchPad, Time for testing! Thank you Jcsullins!
http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouc...L-tenderloin-FOR_LIMITED_TESTING_ONLY_CAM.zip
So far everything is working. The only problem so far is the long pause (up to 30 seconds) before OS is ready to be used upon a reboot.
Chrome works fine now as well
Battery life has improved significantly as well, without sacrificing rock solid WiFi.
Still lots more to test. Antutu also gave me a higher score - still much lower than CM9 though.
One thing I noticed in the 20130304 version is that the battery icon one the bottom right doesn't show the lightning bolt when charging as well as in settings. It says discharging even though its connected and charging. The lock screen does say charging though.
