    Hello
    I have a gio, and a problem.
    If I install a gio room from here it runs only once great.
    but when I lock the first time, and then unlock, then the whole lot of lines, stripes and prints.

    Congrats!, smooth and super fast rom ever! Been using this rom for 4hrs and installed around 10 apps with no speed decrease. Excellent job!. Only problem is that I frequently lose data connectivity, don’t know why. The problem is temporally solved by disabling and enabling data in mobile network settings, but then like 20mints later i lose connectivity again. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

  • Macław genialna robota, kolejny raz udowadniasz, że potrafisz zdziałać cuda z takim sprzętem jak Gio czy Ace. Wymierający już powoli model samsunga znów śmiga jak szalony, bez zawieszek, błędów i na wielokrotnie lepszej wersji systemu androida.

    Zmieniałem ostatnio kilkakrotnie romy na swoim Gio, testowałem każdą Twoją wersje alpha czy beta, po prostu ciekawość mnie zżerała, ale ostatecznie AOSP ICS jest moim faworytem – najdłużej gościł i gości na moim tel, a po takim działaniu jak w final 2 na pewno zostanie na stałe 🙂 lecz nadal będę śledził Twoje poczynania odwiedzając przynajmniej raz dziennie http://www.maclaw.pl, bo na pewno ciężko pracujesz nad kolejnymi to wersjami romów i zaczynając pracę nad AOSP JB na S3 MINI, co mnie cieszy, bo rozmyślam nad zakupem tego właśnie sprzetu,
    chętnie też wesprze Twoje projekty w najbliższym czasie, także powodzenia!

  • Glenn De Weerdt says:

    You say ‘Overclocking is back’. Does that mean my phone is overclocked when I flash this ROM? Or do you mean that it is POSSIBLE to overclock my phone with this ROM?

  • Josh says:

    How do I install it?

  • Gmaxpwnage says:

    Ok, just flashed your ROM. The only issue I am finding is that when it boots up, instead of showing a Galaxy Ace splash screen, it just fades white for a little bit then continues with boot. Is there a fix for this?

  • Is there any possibility to install apps only working on 4.0.4? It looks like the build.prop is configured to not accept that kind of apps.

  • Jesús Soto says:

    Dosntworks link2sd!!!

  • Lerronx says:

    I factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats and then installed this rom, then factory reset and wipe dalvik/battery stats, and it works fine
    But when I turn on the phone now, (AOSP ICS FINAL 2)

    First the Samsung.com screen, then it would dim down in red. After that the screen appears to off
    Then the Samsung.com screen comes back up, then the screen fades into a bright blue/turquoise. Then again the screen will turn off
    Then again the Samsung.com screen comes up, then it finally loads the ROM animation and boots up as usual

    Anyone else with this problem? Is this a bug?

    • Robert says:

      No!! First: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition!!!!!, wipe dalvik cache in advanced, install the .zip file and then reboot… it’s ok?!?!?!?!?!?

  • Strelok says:

    What’s are theese japanese and chinese keyboards in input options? is that some kind keylogger or something?

  • aditya says:

    please send other download links its urgent

    Oh, sorry for the doubt that Chinese and japanese keyboards are keyloggers. It’s totally virus-free and safe keyboards.
    And rom Is very smooth!

  • Odd says:

    Anyone having trouble with BLN? My BLN control program says ”This liblight does not SUPPORT BLN”

  • I’ve tried to install it in my ace, by updating from the final 1, but it’s not working, it’s rebooting many times. Some tip?

    Note: I didn’t wipe anything, just after installation, like maclaw said.

  • Sam says:

    Great job maclaw team!! I’m fascinated with your roms, just twoo questions, it is posible to take screenshots? And i dont know if i can install any live wallpaper like phase beam, or it couldn’t be on AOSP? This version works smoother than all the rest 😉

  • wiseminosse says:

    very nice work, thank you.
    I still experience a bug on Ace (same bug on AOKP, CM10…): on low WiFi field, netd process hangs at full load, emptying the battery and making the phone slooow.
    Can neither auto install in init.d a watchdog that checks netd and in case kills it (so it can be fresly respawned) because init.rc execs sysinit instead of making the service
    service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
    disabled
    oneshotuser
    So any watchdog hangs the boot process
    Could you please fix netd bug and integrate init.d service in next release?

  • kokenputeh says:

    Hello, my question is for those who have tried this room.

    is this 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich, and not based on gingerbeard?

    and if so, can i use apps that requires ice cream sandwich, like fearless mobility vpn?

    Thx.

  • lee◆Gio◆ says:

  • Giowner says:

    What’s the best script for increasing the internal memory in this rom? (I mean scripts like CronMod int2ext+ & Link2SD…) 🙂

  • Wojtek says:

    Najlepszy Rom jaki miałem , a to dlatego , że wróciła mi wibracja , która nie działała od roku , a w serwisie chcieli 500zł za wymianę płyty głównej. Dzięki !!!

  • kans says:

    Is there any way to get swapper 2 from play store or any swap support to work!?
    I find the rom extremely smooth but it gets laggy at times due to less ram!

  • Sameer Khan says:

    I have slow internet connection, please provide a direct download link from mediafire.

    Please Maclaw..

  • twark says:

    Mógłby mi ktoś wyjaśnić jak zainstalować to?

  • levalverde says:

    Hello, this might be a stupid question. But is this version is not compatible with S5830i or s5830m right? if it is compatible… then what i’m doing wrong? I upload to the sd, used clockwork the phone is rooted… but I get only the initial screen then nothing for more than 20 min.

  • André Castaldi says:

  • Adrian says:

    Live wallpapers are not working on a Gio GT-S5660. Any idea for fixing this issue?

  • Adrian says:

    It seems that I am missing LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, from my system. Would it be this the cause of failing to install live wallpapers? Can this re-installed in AOSP in order to fix it? Thanks for your help.

  • Adrian says:

    Issue fixed. I installed the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and now Mystic halo is working on my Gio – AOSP-2. Awesome job on this ROME MS team!

  • Kshitij says:

    hi!
    I have heard a lot about this rom and I really want to flash it , but i dont know how to 🙁
    I am currently using a CM7 rom on my galaxy ace and I dont know how to upgrade to this rom
    I would really appreciate it if someone could teach me how to flash this rom!
    Pls reply soon….

  • Adrian says:

    I am not able to use any Calendars (doesn’t matter wich calendar app I installed – there are no templates that I can select/upload) Can somebody indicate a method of fixing this issue? Am I missing any steps here? I used Business C. before this ROM, and it worked really well. Thanks for your help.

  • hb says:

    Hi guys,
    Silly question–I’m in North America; and for some reason, the ROM can’t detect my data network. Is there some sort of configuration that I have to do (and if so, what is it)?

    Thanks (and congrats on doing a great job!)

  • Pop says:

    Hi 🙂
    I’ve used ICS Final 2 during 3 week and I’m sure that something is consuming a lot more battery than it should. However I could not figure out any pattern which may help what the problem is, but I can ensure that the battery drain happens with phone just running the basic services (2G only, bluetooth off, sat off, wlan off). With ICS Final 2, I had to charge my GIO battery daily. After downgrade to ICS Final 1 one week ago, the behavior was back to normal, which means that for my typical usage, I have to charge it every 2 to 3 days. Note that I don’t use 3G at all.
    Thanks for your work and support.

  • Wily says:

    how to take screenshot with this rom?

  • Christoph says:

    I missed to say: It is only if I’ve got a poor connection, otherwise the battery lifetime is good on my phone

  • Macsai says:

    Hy i install this rom and after boot “encryption unsuccessful” message who can help me

  • ander says:

    Hi Maclaw, this release have init.d support? I try to use mounts2sd but the app not recognize the second partition.
    Thank you for your great work!!!

  • Pankaj says:

    Hi,

  • Rafal says:

    Wlasnie zmienilem CM9 na ten ROM. Nie wiem czy tak ma byc czy tylko u mnie jest jakis blad ale nie mam kilku opcji w ustawieniach – np nie moge zmienic motywu czy ilosci ekranow :/

    Pozdrawiam,
    Rafal

  • raul says:

    It could be the best ROM if it would not suffer from BIG errors I have discovered in time:

    1. searching for network operator does not work even if IMSI is set to “National” or “Roaming” mode through SIM toolkit. For “Roaming” mode, “Airplane mode” occurs without any logical explanation.

    2. turning on WiFi after several times, it reboots phone

    3. SMS can not be sent while 3G data is active but can received.

  • @hijriyan says:

    Need more features like CM9 🙂

  • Nikhil says:

    I just installed AOSP ICS Final 2 and I am facing problems. Sometimes what happens is that my Galaxy Ace just hangs at a particular window and the only solution then is to restart the phone. Please Help as this is happening quite frequently !
