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?
Use the Google apps in the Winsuk thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451906
They work perfectly.

I decided to give it a shot last night. The ROM and gapps in munjeni's thread installed without any issue. I only played with it for about an hour or so, but it was really cool.
Here's hoping the camera and GPS can be worked out soon.
April 13 update
Latest version of menjuni's CM9 working great with a number of fixes:
- GPS working
- Wifi status working
Can't wait to give it a try.

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.

I got the problem, too. For me the solution was to reinstall the su binary using the update option in the settings menu of superuser.

MMS
is anyone else having problems recieving MMS messages. it shows up with a download button but it is unable to download. Works ok if I use go sms but I would prefer to just use stock
I've searched until I'm blue in the face on this and am sorry if i've missed it somewhere, but with any version of ShoStock2 ICS (including the newest 2.2.2) I can't get exchange to show emails newer than 3 weeks ago. Older one's show up fine. Also I can send emails and they will come through on the PC, but never on the phone. I've flashed back to ShoStock 1.9.4 gingerbread, and exchange works flawlessly. I have tried connecting on wifi and over the air, both with the same results. I would very much appreciate any insight you all might have.
Edit: Forgot to mention, exchange works fine on AOKP and Phone-Bricker ICS roms.
No one has any thoughts or help on this?
Hi,
I've installed everything yesterday night. Everything including the exchange servers are working fine on my end. Could it be your setting by any chance?
I didn't use any other kernel, I used cherrypicker.
Exchange seems to be working fine at this end.
Running 2.2.2 and using exchange, no issues here. No to be a smart arse but you did wipe first right?

I always wipe data, cache, and dalvik twice before flashing a new ROM (thanks to the advice of the great group of people on XDA forums), and this is the only one that I've had any issue getting exchange to play nice with. It sets up fine and syncs all of my emails except newer than 3 weeks ago. I've ran at least 10 different ROM's including two other ICS versions with no issue on this. I've tried 4 different ShoStock2 ICS versions beginning all the way back to the the RC1 release, all with this same result. I've tried using different kernels with different releases, removing and resetting the exchange acount, rebooting, connecting on wifi and HSPA+, swapped the email apk, held my breath and stood on my head. Something is missing somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Just to be certain that the problem still exists, I downloaded AOKP and ShoStock2 latest versions last night to try this again. I wiped everything twice prior to flashing and got the same results. Exchange loads every email from today-on with AOKP, but none newer that 3 weeks on ShoStock2. I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but surely someone else has some thought on this. The only thing I have not tried is running a kernel cleaning script. Does anyone think this might help?
The reason why I removed email/exchange apk from my rom was this exactly.
No idea why, but if included with the rom it will just causes problems so I added it as an addon in the kitchen.
I would clear cache/force stop both apps, remove them, then install them again by just grabbing them from the zip file.

Thanks for that reply! At least someone knows I'm not crazy. (I was starting to think I was). I actually ran your ROM a few releases ago, before kitchen was in it and it was pretty smooth. I may have to give it another go. Thanks again for the reply my friend!
Problem solved.
Well, I solved the problem (sort of). I said to hell with fighting to get the exchange working on ShoStock2, and installed LiLChris06's Phone-Bricker 2.5 ROM. This thing is freaking sweet and exchange works like a champ. I've been running this ROM hard now for about two hours with no force-closes, no lag, and the battery seems to be holding up incredibly.
Thanks LiLChris06!!!
Just FYI as i ran into similar problems with OMEGA and SHOStock2 roms, a single exhchange account seemed to run fine, but when i started adding the rest, i had similar issues with it not syncing new mail, and randomly NOT CONNECT to the exchange server in question. everything would setup fine, but eventually the exchange servers would just not update anymore after a couple hours.
if i went into the accounts/sync option in settings, then it would say it synced and would even give a current time, but would never display any new mail. if i went to "refresh" from within the mail app, the account would try to refresh, give an old date of the last refresh and then give the error: "connection error [exchange server name]"
i have not yet tried LilChris's option though, will try that once i get some extra time.

Are you saying that if you included it with the ROM it wouldn't work but if you installed it after the ROM was installed it would work fine?

Yea sounds crazy but that's how it worked for many others.
In the early releases when I included I got complaints left and right, when I added it as an addon it worked flawless for everyone.
i can attest to that (so far)..
i would get exchange issues within 1 hour almost certainly..
its been almost a full 20 hours now and i havent had a single exchange hiccup yet.
one thing that might be worth noting also, i think the app is different that LiLChris uses vs what some of the other devs are using.
i have exchange 2003, 2007, 2010 servers that i connect to..
the options for connecting to 2003 and 2010 (as well as 2007) are the same in the email app that LiLChris uses, such as syncing mail, contacts, calendar (only). 2007 allows syncing of tasks, and i know 2010 allows syncing of tasks and sms, which the email app should detect.
i dont sync tasks or sms, so not a big deal to me, but i did wonder if the actual email apps were different, or different versions, or maybe one was just modded? *shrugs*.
Hi all
Sorry if this has been posted before or if I'm in the wrong section. I've tried to learn as much as possible, but as a complete noob to Android, I'm finding it a tad unmanageable.
What happened:
So first I rooted my device with Odin and CWM6.4. I used CWM to make a backup of my device on the internal SD, as I have no external. I then installed Mobile Odin Pro and flashed first CM9, then the LFB modem, then CM10 and then GAPPS. I then reset my device, or whatever the option was called to delete everything, which the guide said was required.
I'm now running the CM10 released yesterday (06082012) and everything seems to be running well. However here are some questions, that I hope you can help me with:
1) I liked the touchwiz widget for the weather and clock. Can I get this back somehow?
2) I liked the swype keyboard and tried installing swiftkey3, but this does not have swype apparently. Can I somehow get swype again?
3) When I installed CM10, I had to delete everything, which meant I lost all my apps and their files. Is this standard when flashing? I would like to fiddle around and try some different roms/kernels, but it would get tiresome if I had to reinstall everything from scratch every time.
4) Since I got CM10 instead of stock, the screen seem to be generally much brighter and drains a lot more power from the battery. I've tried setting it on automatic, but it doesn't seem to adjust the screen brightness even if I try covering up the sensor with my finger. Does anyone know why? Is it because I'm using software which is under development or is there an easy fix?
5) I've tried getting it to transfer my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone, but it just doesn't seem to happen since CM10. Is there something I can try to get it working? Also before I had the option in the facebook app under app settings and could check a box here to make it sync. Now the sync option seems to be under Android homescreen --> Settings --> Accounts --> Facebook --> check to synchronize. It says it synched like 30 minutes ago, but I can't see the contacts.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!
Regards Casper

Lets answer your questions one by one..
1. You cannot get tw Widgets on cm10..as it uses the framework which is different from CM10..try other widgets from the market..
2.you can download swipe by going to beta.swype.com and downloading it manually..or else install slideit pro..its also provides the same functionalitty..
3. You don't need to install everything when you reflash..use titanium backup root from play store to backup Apps+data ..and restore the apparel when you flash again..
4.might be a rom issue..remember it is still in development..
5.the settings I jb are in that way..try going to Facebook app..open the contact list..scroll up and down till al the contact pictures load..check you phone contacts again..hope it work..used to work earlier in gingerbread..
Don't mind the spelling mistakes..I am typing on a phone in a moving bus
Cheers.

I posted this in another forum, and no response. Hoping someone can help. Perhaps I missed an FAQ somewhere.
I searched and found the "sync is currently experiencing problems it will be back shortly" problem that others are experiencing, but most of the issues seem to be with the contacts. My problem is with the internet sync. See screenshot. Here's what I've tried:
- Searched this forum and Google
- Cleared the stock internet browser data / cache
- Factory reset on previous ROM and tried again
- Flashed another ROM (after full wipe)
- Since I use 2-step authentication, I tried disabling and re-logging in
None of those things worked. Everything is syncing fine except internet. I love the feature, but it is not a showstopper for me. It is important to understand the problem is in the Accounts & sync settings only, so swapping the browser shouldn't make a difference. {Edit: switching to Chrome browser didn't make a difference)
I am on ViperRez 1.0.3, stock browser. Previously, I was on Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 which had the Google Now installed on it. The problem started when the Google Now servers wet down a few days ago. Since then I've had this internet sync problem. Not sure if that is related.
Is there anything I can reset? Any other suggestions? Any more information I should provide?

GOOGLE. and all it side add ons have alot of people and accts.. at any particular time a server can be experiencing maxamim capacity as im sure most of us has seen this happen on face book and good OLD myspace as well. its usually momentary but can last for days.. i get it alot for my email sync but im constantly syncing things.. my contacts too cuz i resync them everyfew days to make sure everythings in google and not just my phone.. hopefully youll see it come back soon.
Thanks, I've been waiting a week but I'll hang on and wait some more. Like I said, not a huge deal but it would be nice again to have that feature.
Have you tried turning that sync off and then back on?
Yes, I try that once a day. Happened on a freshly flashed rom. Just strange.

Same issue (with browser) here. Fresh flash of cm10.1 jb v4.2.2 kindle fire first gen. So?
This might be a remedial question but xda search is down. The calendar sync option is missing in settings (email and contacts are there). Calendar app is installed. I reloaded my account twice and the same issue is occurring on the harmony and smoother jb roms. There was a gapps fix last year of sure if that is applicable anyone have any ideas? Also how does one get google now to recognize the location settings permit location sharing? The g tablet now lives on the wall by the front door, simple dream of seeing my calendar the weather notifications and traffic on the way out the door.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone got any ideas?

Here is nobe1976's response related to Google Calendar Sync from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900562&page=95
GoogleCalendarsync.apk is not installed along with the Calender app itself. Unzip any gapps for jellybean and you can install them manually by placing the app into /system/apps followed by a reboot right after.
Hope this helps
"Sorry for the late reply but check out the 2nd post here 2nd Post.
As for the battery icon that is normal on all ICS and JB builds. It is not in the Android System, but in the current kernel we are using. Wiping Battery Stats will not help it. There are actually some people that have there icons stay at 100% and some that stay at 0%. Those are just a handfull of devices we are aware of there might be more. Hopfully all that will change with a new boot.img update as soon as it gets released by fosser2."
