That was fast :>
thanks !
Thank you so much for this New Year’s present! =D
What does localization by gsm service means?? Please do reply.. ^_^
It’s localisation estimated by your distance to GSM transmitters. It’s not as accurate as GPS, but it makes GPS fix faster.
Thank you
Some apps can use this to locate you without using GPS, thus saving battery. The precision is far more imprecise than GPS, but it is less costly. There is an app called Llama (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama) that does exactly what I said: it knows where you are by using the GSM location and it does some stuff based on your position (eg it knows when you’re at home and when you’re at work, so you can set it to turn on wifi when you arrive home and to turn it off when you’re at work).
It means network location without GPS….
for battery savings its better to use localisation by GSM service for example a weather app/widget it doesn’t need to be completely accurate
Great work will also be said that most of these reaching a final version maclaw??
It’s really awesome i have to say.
Good work guys.
only thing that concerns me is battery life, its pathetic.
I downloaded cpu tuner, and my cpu was at 900 something MHz by default, if you want to save battery download cpu tuner or any app like that one, and put the cpu down a bit. At 800 MHz the rom still works great.
Are you sure its 900 or something and not 800 MHZ .?
The SGA uses a CPU clocked at 800mHz. This ROM had better not overclock my CPU. though that could explain why some people are complaining about battery life.
Thoughts Maclaw/Marcin?
I dont have the icons on notifications bar! its normal?
me too…
Read FAQ, please…
You´re the best developer Maclaw cheers from Mexico 🙂
Thanks for the release!!! 😀
To install (over stock android) should I (after installing CWM):
1. Wipe Data / Factory Reset
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash GAPPS
Is that right?
And does anyone have a link to GAPPS for this ROM?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
GAPPS are included in this Rom
Thanks!
Maclaw you do not fara more CyanogenMod 9? the waiting
Thanks Maclaw! That was quick! Looking forward to Jelly Bean!
AWESOMEEeeEeeEeE
Hey maclaw
It looks like this rom is really epic but..
I cant install it -_-
I did factory reset and flashed it but i keep stucking at boot logo
Please help me
Did wipe the dalvik cache?
did you mount /system?
Wow that was really fast.
Thanks!
we are very near to get the stable rom soon from maclaw.. thanks for the good work.. could you please try to make p[ossible of using sd card as internal memory as it is possible with other roms.. internal memory sucks with SGA 🙁
maybe you can use link2sd lie i did
I can use S2E on this ROM? as I do? help 🙂
link2sd just will move the apps to sd right??? i want my internal memory to be atleast 300mb so that i can use plenty of apps and no need to clear cache everytime i install a new app
link2sd will do just that.
That app use as radio? The Spirit FM will not.
By the way, thank you very much
What is the application for the FM radio? I tried “FM radio” but does not work
OMG… That was fast!
Thxs
How is batterylive compared to stock rom ?

videorecording pleeeaaaasseeeee

That what we want to do.
How is the batry life on this aosp Ics beta 2????
For me better than stock/CM7.
thanxx for replying maclaw:)
thanks very much
does VPN work?
Hi all! I have the previous rom (cm 9). Is that rom better/more stable than the older i have? Should I install AOSP for daily use?
Ayup!
if i have beta 1 i dont need to do factory data reset?
No, just flash the ROM, CWM will clear the Davilk Cache and that’s all. 😉
That was fast :0 I just installed beta 1 yesterday xd
Thanks for the time zone fix, now I can use google and battle.net authenticators again >)
Merry Christmas to Macław and Marcin
i´m always glad to see new updates
samsung gio
tank you tank you
what a great work you are doing 🙂
sorry for my bad english
I don’t need to do a factory reset if I update from Beta 1, right?
Nope, just flash the ROM on it. 😉
yes, you don’t need to factory reset your phone
Right! 🙂 Works great!!
Does the Camera Focus Work where i touch on the screen ?
Yes, it does 😀
how to install themes on this ROM?
Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot doesn’t work 🙁
tethering is my main requirement, steps mentioned in FAQ works but only with my laptop and is not detected on my Tab2.
It’s your Tab2 fault, because it doesn’t have Ad-hoc support.
How do apply a live wallpaper. When.I hold.my hand on the homescreen. The menu that shows up doesn’t give me a live wallpaper option only plain staic wallpapers.
ohh, ICS never normal work at gio, so little ram(
Thanks for the prompt attention. Hope you have a good New Year !
which camera app should we use for video recording?
Could you upload the new release to Google code as before, we can not download from Mediafire in China.
Thank you very much !
no theme chooser on AOSP ?? 🙁 *sorry im nub 😀
AOSP is stock as Google released it. There are no mods like system toggles in the notification drawer, there is no theme chooser. There never will be. If you want those, go back to CM9/10.
For which phone is this update? sorry im new bie
It´s for gio and galaxy ace
Camera recording Pleasee
maclawww thank you for all of your great jobs….
but what do you mean by video recording can’t save on the stock app?? and is there any apps can save video???
and let me tell you that your rom is the best rom ever just if you fix hiv video recording problem
Will you add init.d support in the future? I think dit’s very important for lot of people.
I installed 4.0.4 Beta 2. It’s very good but bluetooth activating faster that WI-FI 🙁 but It better that Cyanogen mod 9 :D, thanks you for your great job =D and I wait beta 3 😀 camera working but videorecording don’t work but I stalled my Camera ICS, but It’s force close all time when I click to open the app; photos Are great 😀
I love you Maclaw 🙂
can you put some snapshots?
Can i isnstall without wiping data and cache ?
No, you can’t do that without bugs
Sometimes the launcher just won’t start anymore and then i have to reboot +filling text on your site is reaally slow and does weird stuff
Could you please look into it Maclaw? I like your Rom really but it is really slow when putting in text on browser
Macław, wytłumacz mi jak używać na twoim ROMie (The Best :D) Radia, bo sam instalowałem Spirit FM, te niestety po konfiguracji nie działało … Byłbym wdzięczny za pomoc 🙂
Pozdrawiam 🙂
+1
Hi Maclaw, sorry for the newbness here but is there a website with a step-by-step installation guide specifically for this ROM and Gio? Thank.
I think this kind of info should be on FAQ.
Maclaw and marcin good work, is possible to resize the camera layout because it looks weird
FINALLY! Somebody else agrees! It looks really stupid.
Man you’re a monster (in a good way :P)
Releasing update so fast…well would adrenaline engine actually help to save battery life or it doesn’t match this rom?
I actually want to extend the battery life the maximum, if not, can you please tweak/optimize the rom at its best ^^?
Try Underclocking your CPU. I’ve set it to 672 MHz.
When u will release stable aosp ics rom???
When I’m using Mobile Data to navigate, I get HTTP STATUS 405 sometimes. Then, I need to turn off and turn it on again to navigate…
Does the Automatic date%time/automatic time zone work in this version?
Automatic date&time*
This rom is awesome. Big thanks to maclawstudios.
Is there a build.prop tweak that makes the google search on the homescreen away? I dont really like it i just wastes space
Firefox crashes when i try to browse this website on my mobile(Somehow Firefox is supported now on Gio(huh?)
Planujecie AOKP, lub inne modyfikacje, czy będziecie robić tylko AOSP?
How fast is this ROM compared to CM7?
Faster but more bugged and not faster then stock with tweaks
faster CM 7 and more faster ICS / JB erikcas 😉
great rom, just one problem that i have, i can’t charge my phone when i have this rom installed
I installed beta2 today and i am enjoying it. But i am little troubled, sometimes the notifications does not appear in the status bar. Has anyone else encountered the same problem?? any way thanks to maclaw for this great ROM 🙂
Has happened to me once. A restart fixed it.
Yes I also faced the same error with notification screen. but funny enough, even though the notification (for sms ) was not visible when i tapped on notification pull down, it did open the sms. Also camera is little laggy. But I am totally loving ICS on my two year old ACE 🙂
Maclaw U have made this rom almost perfect!!! With localization fixe d this rom will rock!!!
Does USB tethering work?? please reply!!!
Maclaw, byłoby wspaniale gdy po dopięciu płynności i szybkości systemu uda Wam się dalej ulepszać funkcjonalność i przyjazność obsługi. To będzie stanowiło również wyróżnik dla Waszej pracy na tle innych rozwiązań.
Przyznam, że na bieżąco instaluję Twoje softy i są naprawdę dopracowane, dzięki za świetną robotę !!!
Superb work! Smoothest S5830 ROM I have ever used. Thanks for your hard work!
Maclaw and Marcin1147 thank you guys for made this very stable and soft rom.
Will you add screen capture ?
press and hold volume down and lock at same time
thank you 🙂
Happy new year! Maclaw, U’r best of Dever!
Any new Year Bonanza for Ace users ????
Can I rest?
Ofcourse you can, its your right, my question was just out of anxiety..
Hi Maclaw. Happy new Year and thanks for the great Beta 2. Well done, good job. I wish you all the best for the new year 2013. Regards from Switzerland, Michael
Anyone know what camera app to use for video recording? There are hardly any camera apps and the ones that exist only take pictures. CameraICS and CameraJB are very buggy and don’t work well…
Perhaps I want to thank the developers for the awesome work! I have tried numerous ROMs and can confirm this one is the smoothest. I would especially emphasize that:
+ deep sleep works perfectly (as a result the battery life is better than on other custom ROMs including any CM7-based)
+ working camera (also in Instagram)
+ working YouTube HD, wohoo!!
+ VERY smooth ROM overall!
I was able to use it on the everyday basis, here are some issues that I have experienced:
– When the memory is getting low the Caller app and the Launcher become really slow and glitchy. The Caller throws the message it cannot call, and the Address Book does not show any contacts. Reboot helps.
– The camera preview doesn’t work in CameraZoom.
– WiFi is turning on waaay longer than on CM7, and causes soft reboots sometimes.
This rom rocks ! Just missing init.d support. Why you don’t add init.d support?
Init.d is there…. as this is rooted rom…. So init.d is there…. for init.d you have to check it via root explorer
Macław i Marcin… Jesteście wielcy!!! chyba ci ludzie co wolą wrócić do 2.3.6 się nie poznali na 2.3.6… wykonaliście świetną robotę i za to wam dziękuję 🙂 czekałem na nowy rom od dłuższego czasu, co tydzień zaglądając tutaj, aż w końcu się udało 😀 Cieszy mnie to jak pracuje ten rom i to co on w sobie ma… a szczególnie to że nie ma Cyanogena!!! czysty wasz rom 😀 jeszcze raz dzięki i świetny prezent na święta 😀 jeszcze raz DZIĘKI!!!!
Jak usunąć ekrany? potrzebuję 1 a są 4… :/ z góry dzięki 🙂
A great ROM guys..Thank you so much..This is the first time I rooted my Ace and flashed a rom..I am happy to have chosen this one.
Ohhh… Thanks God your back! Room is perfect! Well, location dont work and some other functions i dont use, but…
It’s working! Not lagging like hell, no hanging GSM module, no low battery after two calls and two hours in pocket!
First time in last months i didnt whant to throw phone in window.
Masterpiece! Thank You!!!
PS Please, fix location :]
Great Work Guys!!! I’ve tried other ICS/JB (CM9 & 10)roms for SGA this is the first one which I haven’t uninstalled within 24 hours!!
usb tethering dosent work. There are bugs in notification drawer. and the camera is sometimes unstable
For the USB tethering, use the CW app, I use it and it’s perfect. 😉
Thankz dude
does it works on galaxy ace gt-s5830i…..?
No.
the number of new call and new sms is missing???
and some widget can’t change size (Gallery widget)
Anybody got problem with the message app? I actually meet some problems like the whole screen keep flickering while i press into one of the chat in message app.
And the camera app lags a lot but works well! Love it! Thanks Maclaw!!!!
I get the screen flickering too especially qhen I am using youtube
I am a newbie so i want to install this rom in my new Galaxy Ace, where can i find the steps to follow to have it in my galaxy? Will i use ROM Manager?
Thanxx maclaw for all your roms and support i bought a new htc desire v yesterday and sold my old sweet ace so just wanna thank you for keeping my ace alive for one year …
Maclaw rocks!!!!
thank you!
any install guide also here?
@Arjo : Start your phone on recovery, flash the zip, clear cache, and reboot. 😉
And for first install from stock phone, use Google for CWM install.
🙂
Just pointing a bug I’m having: GPS is giving crazy locations.
Awesome work in this ROM. I’m sure when it became free of the small bugs, it will be the best one around.
very nice job…love it..back to ics from gb..though dislike battery life! but i guess have to lose something to get ics..working beautifully..dont miss video as i use camera still pictures only.a little different than cm9 but wil get used to it..
