Well, that time has come. I feel like our ROM is stable enough that I can finally proide support for it without you guys (unintentionally) clogging up the dev thread.
If you have a question, POST IT HERE. If you want to ask about install issues, how to get into devving, or rabid toasters, POST IT HERE. I am closing off the dev thread now that this is created. If you post there without a constructive helpful comment (I will put up criteria there), you will get yelled at, beaten, and sent to slink back to your hole from whence you came.
Okay, now that that's over, I will be providing support in this thread. I am not mean, scary, nasty, or like to drown puppies for fun, despite what the impression the above may give you. I am actually a very helpful person (as most pre-existing members here will agree), and will try to help you, even if you think it's a stupid question.
One rule here: Search first!
I cannot emphasize how important this is. As I said, I am more than happy to answer questions, but for the love of god please don't post something like "wherez the ICS guyzz, I don;t see it in this thrad, this forum sukks". Please use search first before posting. Thank you, and have a nice day.
Well, have fun, and I will answer any questions you have (even if they don't directly relate to ICS).

Run this in terminal with su permissions
Open terminal Type su Accept the superuser request Follow the code from the post One condition if you reboot you have to repeat the third line of code.
This will fix the market
Here is rooting:

Extract the zip plug in your Samsung, turn on USB debugging which can be found in settings-devoloper-usb debugging and run the bat file.
For those of you like me that when you open super user it fcs, here is a guide on how to fix that:
I have rooted, super user won't open now
OK follow theses steps
1) download and install Android commander (Google it)
1a) plug in your device and make sure USB debugging is on
2) open android commander
3) on the right panel go to /system/app and delete super user.apk
4) then go to /system/xbin and delete busybox and su
5) reboot and root again
Worked for me and two other people so it should work for you.
This is a good idea ... hopefully we will see more people pop in here than the dev thread, like to see you guys progress whenever possible and not so much "I need help installing this". I read a few posts of one of your guys requesting people to PM for help but maybe this thread will alleviate that "burden"...

Well, answering questions is not a "burden" more than it is something not 100% relevent to our dev thread, which (unfortunately) sometimes gets us off on a tangent. This way, I can help you guys, and we can still be productive in the original thread. Even if your question isn't relevant, pop me a PM, and I will be happy to help you, as long as you have researched first (meaning not stuff like "where's the stock rom"?).

This is simply a suggestion, but maybe you guys could make a skype group, if you guys don't do that already. I guess it's a good thing to post in the dev thread the little updates, but I think a skype may be more convenient.

Between devs yes, we use Gtalk on a daily basis, and has been invaluable in getting work done quickly. It would be interesting to use skype and/or Gtalk for support, although we would need a dedicated account for that (and we are currently locked out of our Nova Gmail account, because we forgot the password ).
Not trolling here, but just wondering. Since when did discussion become development? Shouldn't this be in general?
In our one s forums all discussion threads are in the general section.

I do have the pass (I saved them in case we forget it). Also klin, it is considered for general but can be considered like dev too (in the sense of error reporting).

This is a subsection of our development thread, and while it may be better placed in general, it is best here, as we remove the chance of people who create accounts just to complain, and we obtain easier access for users. Plus, I believe I may have an idea to put the community to work, I just need to polish it a bit more.

I would hold off, but only for a little while longer, there are a few details (market download fix and proper sdcard support) that need to be added into the next ROM build so you don't have to ADB push things or use terminal to enter code after every boot, once those issues are fixed then it should be a good daily. But, if your comfortable and know how to ADB push files and stuff like that then go for it, just remember you WILL be charging it EVERY night due to the deep sleep bug inherited from the CM7 kernel that was used as the base for our CM9 kernel.

Is it possible to fix that deep sleep bug?
My milestones that need to be crossed for daily usage would be:
H/W Acceleration
SD Card fixed (internal and external)
Deep Sleep
Everything else either has already been added/fixed (Voodoo!!! Beats removed and optional ) or I could wait for (bluetooth, camera, gps).
You guys are doing a great job though, can't wait for the next build to see how you guys are doing.

once oisis gets his sgp 4.0, he can port a 3.0.x kernal and all these will will be fixed.

if/when Oisis gets a 3.0.x kernel up and going (after he gets his player) hopefully the deep sleep bug will be no more, since its a carry over from the CM7 base kernel and if we have a new kernel that should solve that issue, and should get us to where bluetooth, camera and H/W acceleration could all be possible aswell.
Han, while we wait for Oisis to get his player and do his magic can we get one more build that has the fixed vold.fstab to have both internal and external memory working normally without having to ADB push files to the player and the market fix (if there's an easy way to do it)?

A build with a fixed vold.fstab is possible but for the market fix, this is something related to the initrd that actually needs one more line of code for it to be activated lool.

Hold up a sec, I'm unsure of the situation a bit here... does oisis HAVE a Samsung Galaxy 4.0?
If not, I'm willing to toss a couple Tens his way (won't mention how much here) with a stipulation. I'm talking about Amazon Credit (which I have alot of) here... An Amazon gift card (via email) would have to be used as Amazon being the purchase website. PM me if there is an interest oisis if this is the case of you not having an actual SGP 4.0 ...
Edit: Ok, I just read that oisis actually did order one from China (?) but if it takes too long I'm still willing to help money wise if needed for any of these great 4.0 devs here developing the ICS rom

OK then, a build with fixed vold.fstab and a file browser like the free ES File explorer so I can sideload my apps.

A file explorer? I think I will just fix the kernel so that the drmserver can work on boot. As for the vold.fstab, I cleaned all my repo so it will take a long time before I can get one, I will get it more presumably on the weekend.

Yeah a file explorer (file browser) so I can access the LEGALLY obtained .apk's I've collected from the developers websites, to install them. for whatever reason there is NO file browser app in this CM9.

With that attitude you won't get anywhere, you can't just come here, click your fingers, and people jump to your service.
For a start your initial post is virtually incomprehensible, so maybe start by trying to clarify what your problem is

maybe i m newbie here but when i see some1 i can help i help them first i did open in the wrong section people say nothin but go to help section and in here nothin usefull i m not angry couz i m not responded i m angry couz people make responses that doesnt help my problem is simple apps are restating after a while they are not crashing they just restarts and i m thinking its couz of ram-rom management.
the reason nexus 4 will have better multitasking will be because its vanilla so has no bloatware and also it has 2 gb of ram where sgs3 has 1. most roms have some sort of multitasking fix and scripts to help free ram if thats what your asking. for example on the rom i use i have 200mb free most of the time.

First of all greetings XDA community. I am new here but ever since I got my android and found this website I've been checking and searching for needed information, up until now I never had the need to register or post. So thanks for the help and information I've already found in other threads and other topics
The reason I needed to make an actual post here, is because I don't exactly have a precise question. I understand this may be a subject of discussion, so I wanted to hear the opinion of people with more experience and knowledge.
I have a Samsung Galaxy W, for probably less than a year. I understood that at the time of purchase the phone itself was already "outdated".
However this didn't concern me, I wanted a phone just so I could access the Internet anytime needed just to read some stuff or google something I may need as well as checking fb and twitter. For larger and more resource-consuming apps I would use my tablet (a Sony S).
In a nutshell: I want my android for browsing the Internet and checking fb and twitter. I would use it as an mp3 and to play some casual games to burn some time (angry birds, solitare, bejwelled, Jetpack Joyride and so forth).
By the way, I would like to (at the risk of getting sidetracked) ask you for some recommendations on browsers for android. I know Chrome is probably by far the best, but sadly the Galaxy W can't run Chrome. I've tried Dolphin, Opera, Ninesky... but nothing that would fully satisfy me (like Chrome).
The issue: As of late my phone as been slowing down and dragging itself a bit too much. Something as simple as opening the messages, something you'd expect to be instantaneous, takes some painful seconds under a black screen.
I couldn't deal with the keyboard (this is my first touchscreen phone) so I tested and bought SwiftKey which made typing a lot easier, but sometimes it also takes a while to see the keyboard appear.
Some of my apps (might be relevant): Juice Defender, 3G Watchdog, Facebook, Twitter, TweetDeck, tomtom Places, and some apps that are forced by the carrier.
I use Clean Master and I even try to, sometimes, kill iddle tasks of things I don't need, but it feels pointless since the phone just drags and slows even more as he restarts the closed apps again.
I think that using a different ROM might help my issue, and I have some questions:
1- Do you think using a Jelly Bean (or ICS) Cyanogen mod might improve the speed on my phone (pardon if I'm saying some barbarity in here)
2- If I install a Jelly Bean or ICS ROM will I be able to downolad and install Chrome from the store?
3- The phone is unlocked (meaning I can use other SIM cards from any carriers in it). Will the ROM undo this and force the phone back to it's original carrier?
4- The phone is rooted. This is kinda silly but I'd like to be sure. Will a new ROM un-root my phone?
I think that's it. Sorry for the long post. I wanted to make sure I wrote all the relevant information to make sure I get the right answer :fingers-crossed:
Thank you, looking forward to read your replies :highfive:
I forgot to mention, for some time i used the ex go launcher. It worked the same as the default theme. It takes sometime to load at first but after loading the transitions are smooth and everything works fine... until i open an app or do something big.
Lately (read, today) the call button was a bit laggy and i did not like it one bit.

this looks like a whatapp-due problem, which is not solved (and probably womt bcuz android 2.X.X is outdated ) (my friend had problems too with whatsapp and facebook-msgr, when he tried out old-fashioned cm7.2 on his galaxy.. ) we switched back to ics and it was gone , he use mobile networks...
maybve u try friends sim, to look if whatsapp works better on mobile networks?
if not come to 4.X.X
BTW! MAN THIS IS WRONG THREAD!!! IT'S Q&A!!! help keep xda clean and say it also others who post questions/reqeust/etc. to themes and apps!!!

thanks for ua rply...bt al of my friends whatsapp work fine even when they r on 2.3...and i dont want to switch to 4.x coz gingerbreads performance is awesome...

ok. and yes i understand u gb is simple and good in games :good: no comparement to 4+, and everybody should use the rom that fits him as well
hmm, the problem is look: like u say u try diffrent kinds of GB rom's , we can say its not software-due, also u installed whatsapp more times(not restored from titanium etc) and may in app data ? so we can say its not a apk-problem, last what can be were provider problems but u using wifi so i cant be.......
... i have really no idea...
did have gb synchronization? and did u wipe also /data on fresh install? did us e use any apps like taskillers , greenify etc???
.. dont kow more at this tme:crying:
and for the Q&A: if think ur wrong bcuz
1. read the rules (also in Q&A) if u tick ''this is an answer'' /requests for somewhat --> it belongs to Q&A
2. i think u missunderstand the forum title as this is an development forum 'apps' is meant as: ready developed/modified/or in devolping APPS!
in this section u post only 'new' stuff u maked/modded - QUESTIONS are forbidden ; ONLY THREAD-related --> so if ur on an thread about an mod there u can post questions!/requests.
.. some people also post requests here bcuz they havent read the rules or simply dunno '
i sometimes restore titanium backups and sometimes not...in both cases whatsapp gives the same problem...and yes sync is turned on in whatsapp..and no i dont use task killers bcoz i knw they r not good for android...
the good thing is....today my whatsapp is working better than other days...its quite fast (im on cm7 still)...i jst hope it works the same all the time...nd plz tell me if u find any solution to it...
nd ok ill see to it that next time i post threads in the right sections..

ME to the developers: I have a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i) with android 2.3. My
whatsapp works very slow, it seems like my whatsapp gets internet
connectivity after every 2 minutes, because all my messages are sent after
every 2 minutes, and I even receive messages after every 2 minutes. In
between these 2 minutes I can't check anyone's last seen or their display
picture and can't even update my status.
And if I use android 4.0, my whatsapp works very well, there is no such
problem. But due to some reasons I want gingerbread on my phone, so please
fix this problem.

they replied within minutes...i guess no one evn read my problem...
Hmmm...have you ever wonder if this problem is more related to custom kernel rather than whatsapp or the ROMs itself????
Some user forget that the Custom Kernel is also related in internet connectivity...some Custom Kernel (i won't mention which one) have a problem in synchronizing with FB, Games and other social app such as Whatsapp...i know this cause i have been using a couple of Custom Kernel on the same router just to see the different and i can confirm some of them do have synchronizing problem....

maybe u r right...bcoz i used the same kernel in all roms (miui,joyos and other cm7 based) as all those rom developers recommended that kernel...but right now i am on fxp kernel, and it has the same problem...and what about stock kernel?? as far as i remember, it has the same problem (i didnt use stock for a long time)...so can it b a kernel problem?
as iPusak Gaoq™ said it can be a kernel problem, i tried stock kernel and stock rom again...and yes there is some improvement, but yet sometimes there are connectivity drops...stock rom+stock kernel has better whtsp than cm7 based roms and kernels..but not yet as perfect as 4.0...but anyways its manageable...thanks everyone for help
EDIT: i noticed something..in stock rom...i cant check anyones last seen or cant send message...but, as soon as i go in my contact list and click 'refresh' evrything wrks fine...
Hello Developers ,
My Best Friend had buyd a Chinese Android Smartphone Cubot Echo this Month and we informed us about some specius Malware and this stuff. So we decided to download the Mobile Security from ESET and made a scan and its shown a TrojanDropper, so we decided again to flash the rom from the official Forum from Cubot . After we flashed it we dowloaded ESET Security again . Again this TrojaDropper in the GecodeServices ... he cant use the Phone with this TrojanDropper because its sending data to china if my logical understanding is correct. Maybe some of you want know it and make something out of it , hope you can help me in some time If you have question i can maybe answer it but im not so good in english so pardon me if i cant answer correct .P.S.: How do i post a screenshot of the result? im new in this forum so its said no you musst answer 10 post or somethimg else?
Same problem
Did you get anywhere fixing this? I have the same problem.
I have disabled the geocode service and so far have no more unathorised apps installing themselves but don't feel I can trust this phone. I haven't had time to play around much yet but, tried Kingoroot but failed to root my device so have not yet been able to try removing the malware.
I've contacted Cubot but they haven't replied. Will follow up on any progress I make.

How do you disable the geocode on this. I too am increasingly dissatified with this phone. The new upgrade forces you to use Google and removes any other web browser when you shut down. It doesn't like Dolphin. I have to download that everyday. It's huffing and puffing over Opera mini and now Firefox. I've not loaded up any other apps since the new upgrade.
I find it quite disturbing that my phone is forcing me to use things I don't want to use. I don't trust this phone either.
I quite liked Cubots, which is more the pity.
I think it's time to look for another phone...

Solution to the cubot echo adware?
Being a rooting virgin, and not knowing/understanding all the steps suggested by Ngadhnjim (despite being tempted to try anyway) I decided to try once more to reset my echo to the factory settings, but with a difference. This time on the restart I immediately stopped and then disabled the embedded youtube app. So far, it's been a couple of weeks, the phone has behaved perfectly, no sign yet of the dreaded lmuch web page or spurious ads. I will repost here if it starts misbehaving again. Until I do, it has behaved itself.
If it does start to misbehave, I will be asking Ngadhnjim if he could detail all the steps needed, from the very beginning, to set the phone up like he has.
