ok so i have tried both builds of the current ics builds on our forum, great work devs. but i really like the chrome beta browser, i have a broken atrix, that it ried it on and it works awesome. but on my sg2 it sucks. all it does is constantly crash. i donwloaded it straight from the market so its the official build. i have also tried the previous version and the version without the build prop. and all seem to be the same thing, it just always crashes and force closes, anyone else having this problem? im aware that its in beta but on the atrix its very stable

It's my understanding that it runs on ICS. I was not aware you could run it on gingerbread.
i am running ics , on both sg2 and atrix. it opens fine, and sometimes works but most of the time it just crashes on the sg2, on the atrix it works awesome. i just wanted to know with both builds of ics that we currently have on our forum for the sg2 at&t, if anyone is seeing this constant crashses too
I haven't had a single crash using Entropy's firmware build. In fact, the chrome experience on my SGSII is pretty fahkin awesome!

I was using VeGen 5.11 forever, then the netflix app came out and the only rom that works with it is CM7. So I tried CM7 but have nothing but problems with it, sure netflix works, but nothing else seems to.
So what is the most stable with or without netflix support that I should be using? Should I go back to VeGen?
Thanks.
Many of the custom ROMs now support Netflix -- it works fine on Calkulin+Clemsyn's Froyo ROM, which includes full hardware acceleration as the GTab was designed for Android 2.2.
I took the same path, Vegan to CM7, and had problems also. Moved to GHarmony and so far I am pretty happy with it. It does support Netflix.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am mostly interested in finding a stable rom, I don't necessarily need netflix, I just want a rom that works.
On a side note, Sorry mods, I figured the general area was open for everything and just read that it is not a Q&A part of the forum, if you could please place it in the proper area that would be great. Thank you.
Netflix works on VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1
I just recently loaded netflix on VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 on Saturday expecting it not to work wild watching TV, but to my surpise when I look down at the screen the movie downloaded and ran. I was watching Netflix on the big screen, so I stop it and open it on the TAB and resume it to where I stop. SWEET!
[ROM][BL1.1] VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 [UPDATED - 4/11]
This ROM works with Gmail, calendar, and SKYPE too. I watch me, surf the net, etc....
I even hooked up a key chain GPS to it to check YELP and link my Droid X to it to get data and use Google Map to navigate.
Right now it seems to be a toss up between GHarmony and VeGen Ginger. One of my concerns tho is that it looks like VeGen ginger no longer receives any support (not as of April), perhaps that it not the case though as now people are saying they can use netflix on it and back in June I know it wasn't working, unless it was within the netflix app and not a change on the rom.
+1 for Calkulin+Clemsyn's Froyo ROM. It's as stable as I've seen and so fast...
New version Netflix
I had an older Netflix apx that did not work, this new one works. The app looks the same, but this new one actually works, with the exception of the search. I just go to the netflix website and add it to my instant and then use the app to play the movie.

I think they quit supporting the ROM, since other people on the XDA have developed Honeycomb ROM. I'm pretty satisfy with is ROM. I will get a new Tablet if I want Honeycomb.
So Vegantab Ginger works with Netflix. I am currently running CM7 but I really like Vegan GInger when I had that loaded.

It is compatible, I am using it now. I will post the apk when I get on my desktop. Works really well after 5 minutes of testing. Clicking on a youtube link closes the browser for me though.
installed it on mine from the market - works nice - just like the desktop version so far

Just an FYI if you want to use 132 dpi you should use this to fix the market, however since alpha 0.6 now officially supports 120 dpi (as an add-on option) you are probably better off just using that.
I am running at 120 now and have no issues with this or any other app in the market.
Pretty damn stupid that its only available in less than a dozen countries. Thanks for the side load link
No problem
Works well, unfortunately no flash support due to the fact that Adobe has pulled support. I've found myself using the default browser, I like all the improvements they have added since gingerbread.
wonder where the option to load "desktop" version is
EDIT: nvm, it doesn't support desktop view nor flash

No flash support, and no user agent choice. Not even a "request desktop site". Kind of embodies the reason I felt CM7 was unusable. Beta? Feels like alpha.
Back to ICS Browser + for me. Uninstalled Chrome already.

Yeah, I'm betting that from Jellybean forward this will be the main browser. I think Flash on mobile is really done whether we, or the rest of the web, likes it or not. Once we upgrade out of ICS I don't think we will have Flash anymore. Adobe very begrudgingly updated it for ICS and I'm pretty sure that's the last time they are going to do that. They certainly don't seem willing to make any exceptions here for Chrome mobile.

your problem is that little green guy in the lower right corner! i havent seen anyone use a task killer since froyo! LOL jp
as far as the browser goes it seems a tad slower than the stock browser. if you dont like mobile view you can usually go to the bottom of most web pages and manually select "classic version" like on yahoo.com. i still use the stock browser but once chrome will support desktop view i will for sure switch makes my TP look like a desktop

I wouldn't be too quick in talking about the death of Flash. There are 10's of millions of sites using flash on the web. It'll take years to change them all. Btw, in all the notices I've read of Flash being developed for ICS, not once did I read a hint of it being grudgingly developed by Adobe. As well, if that was to be the last of Flash development, why are Adobe right as we speak developing Flash Player sandbox for Firefox?
Chrome beta is not running well on this release of buttah. Erratic and some weird stuff. Both are early releases of course.
I tried using the latest gapps from goo.im/gapps on Munjeni's CM9 rom and was getting boot loops.
I used th gapps-ics-tiny.zip and was able to boot but calendar does not sync. Doesn't even give me the option for calendar under "Accounts and Sync."
Any else having this problem?

Wallpaper size
I am posting this here because I am not eligible to post on the development site.
I have noticed that all versions of the CM9 ROM have built-in wallpapers that are not properly sized for the Aria. The wallpaper that loads first time it the right size, but once another is loaded, they all appear too big, and you can't go back to the stock ICS wallpaper without reloading the ROM.
Am I missing something?
And please note: I am not complaining. The Aria/CM9 team -- notably WinSuk and Munjeni -- have done a fantastic job and great service for the Aria network.
I decided to give this ICS ROM a try for fun today...after someone mentioned to me that the Captivate and Aria (as old devices) both have ICS.
It seems like it should work fine...for the most part...as an everyday device. As long as you can deal with having no working camera or GPS.
I didn't actually slip my sim card in...since it's not currently my main phone.
Battery?
Hey guys,
Im on winsuks latest cm9. it works great for me except my batter lasts about half the time it lasted with cm7. Does anyone know if munjeni's cm9 is any easier on the battery?
I didn't try WinSuk's ROM yet, I'm running munjeni's ROM as a daily driver. In the build from 27.4., camera and GPS are working; I'm trying now the deodexed built munjeni posted today and see if it works better.

Yes i had the same issue, run "fix permissions" in rom manager, i tried that option in cwm and it did not work. I am back on cm7 because for some reason i wasnt able to receive calls, i was able to make calls, send and receive messages etc...
fix permissions did not help. however I was able to get s2e to work by using superSU from the play store.
Haven't tested out calling/messaging yet
call and messaging send/receiving also seems to work for me.

If I am currently on jokersax beta 0.6.9.2, can I just flash the updated rom over my current version? Or do I have to wipe data and cache in order to flash it? Because I've been thinking about getting around to updating but would rather not lose anything. My other question is if the update to 0.7.0.0 would be worth it. Is there large fixes or just small bug fixes? Thanks ahead of time for your help.

I would not recommend it. Version 7 was made primarily as a base for a Jellybean port that Joker was working on, and appears to use a different GPU driver that fixes browser rotation but also lowers performance. You're better off waiting for the next version.
OK. I've been considering just waiting until a stable release anyway. So, now I think I will. Thanks.

There are two different ROMs:

As my experiences in these CM9s, the 0.6.9.3 is most stable. But like any other CM9, the camera issue is really big to have been preventing me to install. Additionally, the FingerPrint scanner has never worked, either.
Let's keep waiting till the official ICS will be realeased by Moto

No need to wipe anything. Just install the zip for updates. And yes, it is better.
There are two different roms:
0.7.0.0 is the update
0.7.0.0 Special has Jelly Bean elements. It is a work in progress.
So, once the atrix gets an official ICS update from Motorola, and we get a stable build of CM9, will we have to wait until the official 4.1 update to get a stable release of CM10?

There is no guarantee of an official 4.1. But we will get CM10 in some form.
Will it be stable though if we don't have the 4.1 drivers?

You are confusing stable with compatible. Stable means all of the bugs have been worked out. We will not know if ICS drivers are compatible with JB until they are released.
If ICS drivers are not compatible with JB, major aspects of JB can still be ported to ICS (though it will probably not be the same as pure JB).
OK, thanks! That's just the explanation I needed.
0.7.0.0 issues
I installed from 6.9.1 to 0.7.0.0 last night and would like to report my findings. Let me start by saying I am new to the whole changing ROMs and kernels etc. so I am sure I haven't checked everything just yet. The problems I have found so far are as follows:
1. When using the ICS or ICS+ browser it seems to randomly decide to reset itself back to the initial google page. Iknow I read a post somewhere that reported Opera browser was not working either. Anyone know of a working browser for this release?
2. There is an issue with watching online video. I can watch streams from CNN, YouTube, Fox News just fine. When trying to watch anything on Netflix I only get audio with a black video screen.
3. Battery so far seems to be lasting about the same as 6.9.1 but I probably need more time to make a better evaluation.
4. Camera is working fine. Of course the Video camera is not working.
I am using Apex launcher with Jelly Bean theme and no issues. The only reason I am posting here instead of in the development thread is because I do not have enough posts yet.

I have the same issue with both, when i open google search from the search bar or dragging up from the home button it opens but as the "cards" pull up it crashes.

Any suggestions ?

I'm getting a DRM issue when trying to play content from HULU Plus? Any way to fix this also?
Current version of Google Now integrated camera search and for whatever reason became incompatible with the CM10 build for the tablet. My understanding is that development is moving on to CM 10.1 which will be based on 4.2 so for now there is no solution but to use the version of Google Now prior to the latest update.
