Database Develop

General ICS discussion

So the news is all over the place by now, today is the day ICS ruu's are rolling out in mainland China. People are freaking out and Google translate has never been used so much by members of the Xda IncS forums.
So I decided to create this thread as a general place to talk about new updates, expectations, let downs, and anything else ICS related.
It has been a long time coming (6 months or so) but it's finally starting to roll out. We await the n00bs, the new devs, the "Help!!!! I bricked my phone!" Threads, the daily flashing of CM Nightlies, user mods, and the generally missed rush of traffic here on the IncS boards.
The wait is over.
Discuss.

Good Idea, I will repost the important info I posted elsewhere:
I have found someone who is downloading the s710e update, but it is going very slowly. Probably will be tomorrow before you guys can get your hands on any ROM's but I will keep an eye on it, as soon as a file appears I will get to work!
BTW, there is an easy way to tell the difference:
The CDMA version is 4.08.1401.3 (348.1MB)
The version we want is 4.08.1400.2 (and is only 251.26MB)
And it is Sense 3.6, despite the filename saying Sense 3.5
IMPORTANT
If an image (RUU, .exe or P32IMG) appears, and you aren't planning to use it for dev or creating a mirror, then please don't download it. You won't be able to do anything with it, and it will just suck up bandwidth and slow down those who can make use of it!

The Desire S has a leaked 4.0.4, the s710d has 4.0.3.
What Version of Android will get the IncS? I hope it's 4.0.4, i can wait 1 week more for this.

3.6

Once we have the files it will be no problem for devs to keep us up to date. I strongly suggest that if anyone plans on rooting their phone to do it now as it is likely that the new ruu will come with an updated h-boot which will take time to learn how to circumvent s-off.

Dependant on HTC Europe and you carrier, you will probably have to wait 2 - 3 months for the update officially

How could you not... generally they start with a stable version and increase functionality with every nightly build decreasing the wait time for experienced users between stable builds. As you can see I'm still on 146 and I've been waiting ever since

So for the first time ICS updates are becoming Asia-centric. Can we expect Taiwan, Singapore & India to get the next updates? Or will they switch to EU, as usual?

I think the updates roll out in a geographic circle starting in Asia but I could be wrong.

Doubt it hasn't happened already. Quite a few members of CyanogenMod are there, including Cyanogen himself. They're probably waiting to make an official release

MIUI Test Build

Hey guys. My XDA pal built me a MIUI test build. I'll be perfectly honest with you guys, I'm a little gun shy after some people bricked their phones while on AOSP. I kind of want someone else to be the test dummy
If you understand that this is only a test build that has never been tried before AND that the maker of this test build does not have this phone AND if something goes wrong with the flash I or the creator of the test build will not be held responsible.
Ok, that is the first disclaimer I have ever had to write over here. Without further delay...here is the link:
Hopefully one of you guys is more courageous than myself. Logcats would be appreciated. If this build is actually somewhat functional and we provide LOGCATS I'm sure he will continue working on it.
EDIT: I forgot to mention this point: He told me that before flashing this I should delete the NFC.apk. These are the steps:
1. download the test build and confirm MD5.
2. using WinRAR or similar program navigate to SYSTEM>APP>NFC.APK
3. right click and hit DELETE FILES
4. the MIUI Test build zip should now be w/o the NFC.apk
Update: Link has been temporarily pulled until kernel issue is resolved.

Was this built for the Sprint One specifically?

This looks sweet...make sure befpre everyone downloads to check to make sure its actually sprint. Build.prop boot.img updater script etc.
Lemme download n check
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

Yes, it was built for the Sprint HTC One. However, he does not have this phone. He based his work off of one of our CM builds. I would imagine that any bug we currently have on CM would be present in this test build.
EDIT: I should add this to the OP but it may be overkill...please make a nandroid before attempting to flash this.

Does he think it would boot because im friekin excited then

Well he wouldn't have made it for me if he thought there was NO chance of it booting. He banged it out pretty fast though so I don't put too much faith into it. If I wasn't such a big wuss I would just flash it...but alas, I am a wuss so I'll let someone more savvy than myself give it a shot first.

Maybe ill wait too. It looks pretty good for the most part. I downloaded it. Well ill wait and see i guess.

At least you had an idea of what things to look for in a possibly working build. I wouldn't know where to start. If you decide to flash it please keep us posted!

You'll want to pull the link. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but it seems he had an issue with the kernel. I have yet to come up with the time to fix it, as I just had a long day with the kids. I'll try to look at it when I get home.

4.2.2 Sense?

Just curious, is there a 4.2.2 sense rom for the m7spr yet?
I heard there's some floating around for at&t/t-mobile versions, but I haven't seen one for the Sprint model

No.

I'm with you in the hunt for a compatible ROM for the Sprint HTC One!! I got a question as well. I just got S-OFF and from what I have read I can flash any ROM now. (if I have SUPER CID) Is that true?

We were able to flash some international ROMs....until they updated to 4.2.2 in which we lost that. So, in closing... There are NO 4.2.2 Sense ROM's that we can use.

I don't see any kernel by zarboz in these forums. I'd hold off if I were you to avoid having to recover from bootloops.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Q&A for twrp unofficial

Please post all comments concerns and questions in this thread. Thank you for your support
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

Great work on this.
Any way to get exFAT working on this? It seems to be working fine on the version from Dees_Troy (my card is formatted exFAT).
The tree Dees_Troy put up is here: https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_htc_m8_whl (I'm sure you already know this)
I also caught him on IRC yesterday and he said he'd look at any errors in the source tomorrow, as I was having issues building with it as-is. With all the additional updates you had to make, it's no wonder!

I'm not sure can you give mine a try and tell me if your card mounts? I have nothing formatted to test it. As for the code I got it all cleaned up and working. I also fixed the segfaults

Looks like exFAT is working fine (though external SD isn't mounted by default). And great job on fixing the seg faults.
The one thing missing is offmode charging support, which I believe Dees_Troy did include on his tree. Besides that, it looks great.

Offmode charging just needs a bit of tweaking. Im working with the init files to get them fully working. I like to do things as clean as possible
Thanks for testing exfat btw

No problem. I took your version and updated the init.rc real quick and added the offmode_charging binary to /sbin to fix the offmode charging for myself in the meantime .

I don't know what this means.
I'm still working on getting mine to build properly. There's a version in the OP here, one on the TeamWin site, and one in my thread. I'm not sure why you'd need another one.
When I get the source all worked out, I do plan on updating the version in my thread, but there do still appear to be some glitches with the recovery, so I wouldn't really recommend distributing it outside of the threads where they're posted.
I think that's enough OT for this thread. Sorry @simonsickle.

I was going to use the one from TeamWin, but if it's that bad, I won't add it in yet. I had people request for Sprint support, but I don't want to put in a glitched recovery.

Seems to working fine for me, and is pretty official being on twrp site, perhaps just infancy and would need update soon as new one was made official

It's not ready. At all. The twrp site includes my fix for segfaults But there's no exfat yet. Be patient, and let bugs get worked out. I do not want to have to ignore people who lack technical skill because they flashed a buggy recovery.... And trust me they will complain if they just click a button to install it.
