Root ICS is here!

On Ice cold sandwhich I got a few problems if anyone could help me solve them I would really appreciate it :D

- Firstly my phone doesn't vibrate when I receive SMS Messages ( But does when receiving messages from What's app chat)
- Secondly, everytime I change to next song the music volume goes to max, which allows everyone in my school class/ library hear it ....
- Thirdly, the buttons (home, menu, back, search) do not light up
- Fourthly, the viber application doesn't work
- Fifthly, ( probably not a rom issue since I had this since stock till now) My headphones get wrongly identified as headset which makes the device think I'm pressing buttons thus randomly skipping songs, (tried downloading headset blocker; no luck)
- Sixthly, Adobe flash player 11 doesn't work properly, since some websites don't let me view videos on it properly.
-Seventhly ( Is that how you write that xD?), ( more of a question) any way to get the screen turning off effect like on CM7 ( screen turns off like a old TV)?

Sorry, for bombarding people with issues, obviously I don't expect help with all of them but it would be really nice if I could clear up 1 or 2 problems.
1. - Sorry, I don't use the stock SMS app, so can't help on this one. I use Handcent and it works fine (but that doesn't really help, sorry!).
2. - This might have something to do with the long-hold skip function added to te volume buttons. Try messing with those settings to see if that sorts it.
3. - This happens if you turn autobrightness off. It's logged in the XDA thread. I'd keep autobrightness enabled for now.
4. - Viber doesn't seem to work with ICS, but they are aware. Suggest you follow this thread.
5. - Sorry, don't know, but it was reported in the XDA thread. Might be worth trawling it towards the last 20 pages or so to see if it's still a recognised bug.
6. - I assume YouTube used Flash? If so, then mine's ok. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing?
7. - Only if the ROM author adds it, I think.

1-Hmm I'll probably download handcent for now then,

2-Yeah I did disable the long hold skip function

3-Thanks :D

4- Guess I'll have to wait

5- Been looking through the post couldn't find anything worthwile

6- Yeah youtube works fine but just a couple of websites videos that worked before on Virtuous and CM7 don't work anymore/

7- Hope he does, I really liked that.

Thanks :D
 
i know the that the backlight buttons was fixed on 1.4 test 2 BUT... i found with 1.4test 2 they bought over a different music player, which for me was a massive battery drain as was always running in the background, so i reverted back to 1.4 and the backlight buttons are working perfectly now,

also with the sms i found every time i flashed a new build it would turn off the vibrate option in sms options and sound option in the phone setting,

dont know if any of them 2 things help
 
From Lord ClockaN's website:

1.4.test3 hopefully fixed lockscreen delay updated Messaging app removed CM9 music app - more trouble than it's worth some other optimizations - minor
This might be the fix you need for the SMS app, McCookie. Though personally, I'd still recommend a third party app like Handcent. Can't see the download for it there yet though.

from wot i can find he pulled the last test,

'edit:
looks like I forgot to revert something...
will remove test3 from downloads for now ...'
 
Anyone know the fix to my music issue ? Whenever I press next song my music app automatically goes to Max volume, which disturbs the people around me, especially in class. I really need to fix this issue, preferably today.

are you on 1.4 or 1.4 test 1 or 2 ?

just trying to gauge which music app you have on there, im on 1.4 and dont get any options in the music app, where as when i tried 1.4 test 2 i had loads of options
 
iv put a post up on xda so ill see if i get a reply and let you know,

just a stab in the dark, in 'customization' 'miscellaneous tweaks' have you tried unticking 'volume music controls'

as i said, its a stab in the dark,

just had this back
'Turn off / freeze dsp manager and MusicFX. Download MusicFX from the market if you need it'
 
freezing both worked :D Thank you ! Kinda weird though.

Now looking for a replacement for dsp manager

cool , glad you got it working, glad i could help, would be handy to know which one worked :D

either way that one of the list ;)

Weirdly I tried to freeze musicFX on its own and dsp manager on it's own but the problem would be still there , weird that both have to be freezed:/ anyway using volume+ instead of dsp manager, seems to do the job.
 
I have actually been able to take a picture and not have any issues with it... took the picture with a 3rd party app in landscape mode. If you take a second picture, then some of picture 1 bleeds in to picture 2... got around that by shutting the camera app down, waiting a couple of secs and re-opening!
 
Have any of you tried the Chrome beta yet?

There's also an update on the status of CM9 here: CyanogenMod 9 State Of The Union Address: Device Support, Drivers and Pitfalls (It looks like everyone is having issues with the camera).

Hey El im currently running google chrome at the moment and im really liking it, when flicking tabs in incognito i get a pink glitch but thats it,(only flicking inbetween pages) other than that i cant fault it,

D-U-R-X i had the bleeding problem with the camera which was a shame cos i use the camera a lot, found a camera app https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.haibis.android.angelcamera&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImpwLmNvLmhhaWJpcy5hbmRyb2lkLmFuZ2VsY2FtZXJhIl0.
iv had no issue with it wot so ever and give me good pictures every time with no bleeding

Yeah, I posted without seeing your other thread, sorry chief. Hopefully, when my EEE Pad transformer gets the imminent ICS update, I'll be able to give it a whirl.
 
I have pink background whenever flicking through any tabs :S, but my friend with ICS rom On galaxy nexus has a normal black background :/
 
I am running 1.3 at the mo, if I want to install 1.5, do i have to do a full wipe and start again? You know, the whole shabang?:o
