Been refreshing the page since morning [F5] Lol. Thanks man
If you’re wondering how many people out there have been refreshing the page waiting for the download to arrive here, you must have got hundreds of hits over to your site all day long. Appreciate all your hard work. Thank you 🙂
You´re the best Maclaw cheers from Mexico
Is needed wipe or not?(got AOSP beta 3)
No, just apply update…
ok thanks a lot
You’re the best Maclaw!! Thanks for the ROM from Italy 😉 😉
awesome thxx.
when video recording will work and if (plz) you include an FM radio app, it would be the best ROM ever for ace 😀
lol the page was inaccessible for minutes, probably because of server overloads;p
thats great maclaw
i’m really hope the battery drain issue is gone!
good rom!
Any battery improvements for people out there?
faq link is not working..
what about live wallpapers? that would be nice in the next release…
thanks ! very much !
Does VPN work?
You should add init.d support though 🙂
Use pimp my rom for init.d installation.thx maclaw and marcin..just awesome you show what these older mobile can do
Thanks from Morocco
Now downloading
@Froggy, If you want Init.d support, add it yourself… It’s a piece of cake bro…
Search XDA for Universal Init.d apk, Install it, run it, it will do its thing, click verify, Voila, you now have fully functioning Init.d… Job done 🙂
Where can you find Stk.apk ?
I need a working SIM toolkit for my daily use and most custom roms have been not working so far.
Great Rom!!! Better perfomance and stability but i have one problem with HDR camera, the app freezes or stop when i tried to take a picture, sorry for mi english jeje XD
there are no toggles in this Rom.
Maybe you could check FAQ?
I have a clean GIO from factory, how do I install this?
Thanks!
First, root your device. Then, install recovery clockworkmod. After that, download ROM(it cames as a .zip file) and put on the root of your SD. Boot your device into recovery, navigate with volume buttons to install zip from sdcard, and then choose zip, flash and reboot. Enjoy!
Maclaw, can I use theme chooser themes etc?
Thank you!!!
1. How is battery?
2. Does it lag much?
1. Good. How is yours?
2. No at all
Okey thanks! Mine +/- 14/15 hours
Excellent Deep Sleep started working. Looks very good so far.
GPS is fixed indeed. Woot!
and one question: how to get s2e working on this rom?
I read somewhere that s2e is made for cyanogen roms. Since it’s based on stock, its not compatible.
Does anyone know a way of moving dalvik cache to SD, even if it’s through manual flash of some scripts?
Yeah, but there’re a lot of alternatives, like Link2SD.
sorry…i have problem with link2sd..le app occupano tanto anche dopo aver usato link2sd e poi…perchè la memoria del telefono ha meno memoria libera senza nessuna app installata?
sorry i was confused and i wrote italian…the app occupy so much even after using link2sd and then … because the phone memory has less free memory without any app installed?
🙂 S5830L All OK.
How much space does it occupy on a device?
Hello Maclaw!
Awesome work! Cheers from Brazil.
Btw, do you know something about why do Fruit Ninja / Cut the Rope force closes on ICS?
No, for me works well.
Love this rom. tried it once now cant go back to stock! just one thing any tips on FM Radio? i cant get it to work thanks
Once again like to say thanx for your hard work on your great but I’m also having force close problems with some apps including AVG, Camera 360 & Brandomania
Hello! My Facebook have some FCs can you See please?
I’ve now seen at least 4 others and myself report that since Beta 3 games and some other apps force close without notification. I can play a level on Angry Birds for about 30 seconds and then the app just closes. The same thing happens with Amazing Alex, except it crashes while trying to load a level. If I go back to Beta 2 games work fine, but they won’t on Beta 3 or RC1. I’ve tried wiping Dalvik and Cache and even clearing the application data and it doesn’t solve the issue.
Dude, really, I can’t reproduce this issue. I’m playing all games without any problems. Try to reinstall ROM. If it won’t help, please logcat or didn’t happened. And I don’t ignore reports, just removing comments with the same issue.
Is the best rom ever! i love it
Hi Maclaw / Marcin
The download link for Gio is down. Please help.
Thanks
Oh, really?
http://puu.sh/1OOpM
I get to that page too. It returns – “Oops! This link appears to be broken.” after I click on download. Can you try that? It is still not working from my end. Thanks
Error is from chrome. Thanks buddy!
Thank you guys!
This rom is awsome!!!! very fast and very stable. Is it possible to install toggle on it?
Thank you for the amazing work!!!
Read FAQ
I already read it. It’s why I don’t ask where it is but if it’s possible to install it.
It’s working for me. I ‘ve installed Notification Toggle from google play.
It works, I’ve tried it 😉
please share with us how did you do it =)
the source where you found how to do it would be enough… Thanks! =)
Just installed it from Google Play!
The ROM is Great,
just one issue, Does anyone know how to disable the UNLOCK SCREEN vibration? Disabling “Enable touch vibration” in sounds menu, does not effect this one.
Thanks
Also I have seen quite a few android.phone app crashes. It does start up itself, but still, some bug is out there.
Hi Maclaw,
bluetooth is not working for me. When i send a file from my tab 10.1 it always says file not sent. On my gio when i send the file it just lights up and then does nothing

Thanks for this great rom Maclaw.. But there is one issuee. The phone doesn’t see my sd card. Why is that so u think? Is there anyone who has the same problem?
It works for me fine
Planujesz AOSP JB?
Hi,
so I tried to install the RC1 but failed. I´ve got this encyption failure. After rooting I wiped cache and installed the rom. then the failure message. Now I wiped also the dalvik cache but the same result.
I came from stock rom.
Anybody who can give me an advice so that I can use my phone?
By the way, my phone is a GIO
Thanx a lot
Hi, install clockwork recovery 5 😛 bye
Thanx, after a second install i´m on ICS now.
Hi, i just want to know if i’m the only one with issues in whatsapp, because i can’t send pictures, i already wipe dalvik, cache and system and nothing changes, btw the ROM is awesome, thanks, great work!
Greetings from Mexico
I have the same problem as you, it says “Failed, Out of memory, Please try again later”
But it seems to work with low resolution images, like 640*480 ones…
Same issue here…
Hey, how to hide google search bar?
Great ROM Maclaw and crew, this is the most stable and faster ICS ROM i ever try Gratz!!! Only one thing, after a few minutes of use (normal use: calls,sms,music) My phone turns very very hot!!! Any idea to fix it
About Sound Quality, Today I attached the phone to a stereo system, like always I do, to play music from my phone, but the sound looked too low quality and a kind of too much bass in it. I tried it with Google Music Player and also “Clean Music Player”.
RC1 there is no folder init.d. How to push a2sd script?
I use link2SD instead, works well
Batery is awesome! Many thanks for RC1!´
Maclaw, can you fix the preview of the recent apps?
The images are stretched..
.

Thanks!
Is there anyway to add toggle to the notification bar ?
What is app for VideoRecord?
Maclaw, thanks for the great work!
I have troubles with my carrier signal on Gio. I fixed in stock rom by changing settings in service mode menu (I need to force disable the 3G service, I lost signal and don’t come back until rebooting the phone) Is there a way to add it on your ROM?
Also, in Gallery some of my pictures show a No thumbnail message (Spanish: “Sin miniatura”), and it isn’t displayed.
Excelent work! Thanks!
There is no am/pm in 12-hour format time. Is this can be enabled?
how to download file
Start develop JellyBean would be nice maclaw.. 😉
Great ROM!
Some tethering/hotspot problems:
– Wi-Fi hotspot: selecting WPA2 PSK, other devices can not connect to the phone (OK selecting “Open” or “WPA PSK”);
– USB tethering: activating it, “Settings” crashes (also I tried some widgets/toggles that fail to activate it).
Thanks and regards.
WPA2 PSK is not supported by Wifi driver.
USB tether isn’t working.
Can I hope they will work in RC2 (at least USB tethering)?
Thank you very much!
I did and saved a LogCat of a game crashing and I will post it here later when I’m on a computer and not my tablet.
I read through the log and the first error is an out of memory error followed by the app aborting and a couple others. I’m thinking it’s a memory issue, as some people above said they are getting an “Out of Memory” message on an app. What’s weird is Beta 3/RC1 uses like the same amount of RAM as Beta 1 and 2 (About half of the available RAM) and I have nothing else running, so there is enough for the game to run…
Really interesting… I can play every game that you listed ealier without any problem. Maybe you’ve installed an app, which causes Out of Memory in games? Everything is possible.
I think memory issues and gallery not showing pics are caused by Dalvik changes in build.prop, which were introduced in beta3. I reverted to beta2 settings, it’s working far better for me.
I removed these lines from build.prop:
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=18m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1
dalvik.vm.verify_bytecode=false
dalvik.vm.checkjni=0
I replaced with theses lines (from beta2) :
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m
(After that clear Dalvik and app cache from recovery)
I also replaced Gallery2.apk with GalleryGoogle.apk, like in beta2 (I need picasa sync!)
Cheers !
Thanks, will check.
Guys help me. I have got Android 4.0.4 Beta 3 but new update RC1 is available. How can i load it? I need to put this 116 mb zip on my SD card? And i need to reset my phone? I don’t want to lose my apps and settings Please tell me!
I loaded Beta 3 yesterday. And i installed my apps I dont want to do it again but battery drains so fast.
How can i load this 116mb upgrade to my Beta 3?
Why nobody helps me? 🙁 I am waiting with my Ace :/
passes only zip to your sd, and reinstall over beta 3 without deleting cache.
Why do you keep deleting my comments? If all you want is a little help with the problems that exist in the rom 🙁
Comments aren’t the greatest place to report problems. Spam filters qualified you as a spamer, so your messages has been deleted. Fixed.
ahh ok, then where I can report problems and upload my log so that you can check?,by the way their work is excellent, is the best android developer I have ever seen! thanks for this great job

Dla tych, którzy mają problemy z radiem FM, pobieracie darmową wersję Spirit FM (Spirit Free), instalujecie, zmieniacie Regional Band na Europe, oraz audio method na msm7x30 Samsung. Voila!
Problem solved, with the help of an above post. Removing the line “dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=18m” which was added in Beta 3 has fixed all of my game crashes and memory issues. I presume the value basically limits how large the VM Heap can grow, and it’s too small for games and such.
I removed only that line and restarted my phone without a dalvik or cache wipe and everything is working nicely now.
My gallery crashing as well.
Also noticed one more thing after 1 day use my phone got hung I need to take out battery to restart.
Overall I like this rom very much and live it.
Can anyone tell me what Radio App Should I use? I want an FM one, not the ones that uses 3G…please help!
Z wifi serio jest coś nie tak. jezeli zmienie ustawienie “wifi włączone w trybie uśpienia” na “tylko gdy podłączony” telefon nie zawsze wchodzi w stan uśpienia, czasami chodzi na 245MHz. Np teraz po naładowaniu przez godzine leżał i w deep sleepie był jakies 15minut a reszte na 245Mhz zużywając 12% baterii. Dodatkowo jak już wyłączy to wifi to nie zawsze spowrotem przerzuca sie z 3g na wifi i trzeba je wyłączyć i właczyć. Jeśli bedzie trzeba moge dosłac screen z cpuspy albo spróbować złapac to jakoś logcatem.
Pozdrawiam
Coś jest u Ciebie nie tak. Nie ma żadnych problemów z wifi i tyle. Jestem tego pewien i akurat tego mi nikt nie wmówi!
Wszystko jest ok jezeli nie ruszmy opcji “wifi włączone w trybie uśpienia” i z tym sie zgodze jest deep sleep, nie ma problemu z łącznoscią i ogólnie bajka 🙂 Zauważyłem w historii użycia baterii że wifi ma 54% udziału i postanowiłem zmienić tryb usypiania wifi zeby je usypiał razem z telefonem i włączał przy wybudzaniu (bo chyba to oznacza wybranie opcji “tylko gdy podłączony”) może dzieki temu dłużej trzymała by bataria i tyle.
Może tylko ja mam z Tym problem i nie chce nic nikomu wmawiać, wgram jeszcze raz i zobacze czy bedzie ok, zauważyłem tez ze czasami znika ekran główny i trzeba wyciągnąć i włożyć baterie. Mimo tego najlepszy rom jakiego kiedykolwiek używałem 🙂
Mam ruszoną tą opcję. Deep mi działą ;p
Hello, great job buddy ! Just a question, is there any place left for installing any app after installing this rom ? Did anyone solve the problem of the space ? Thanks
If you have a SD card you can try link to sd. it will move apps to sd card
Hi all!
The ROM is great. But one thing is missing. How can I add a spell checker for Russian (for example)?

one issue i find is that it is slow in turning on WIFI and it makes it restart my phone sometimes…ill send my Logcat…
