Quick status update for Alpha #5:
- There is a USB wakelock bug that I'm working feverishly to track down and any and all help I can get on it would be appreicated. Here's how to see it: plug your phone in to the computer via USB. check this file: /proc/wakelocks It has a "usb" line and watch the total_count shoot up like crazy every few seconds. I need to know what process is holding the wakelocks before I can troubleshoot it. But, I have a feeling this is yet another side affect of our Motorola-specific android usb gadget interacting w/ ICS. In general you should be using the dual SD card fix from Dri's (XDA)thread if that works:
External SD Card Mount by queberican351
“I installed Dual Mount SD Widget from android market on Ice Cream Sandwich Alpha 1 Build and was finally able to access my externel SD Card on my PC.
*Do Not Use android auto mount option* - apparently bad things will come of this. just select the second option. place the widget on a screen, enable with usb connected.”
- I had already turned off the slide to unlock hard keyboard feature, but after reading some of the responses and then seeing that if you use a secure lockscreen the behavior changes-- I changed it back t the way it is now.
- Re-setup default backlight values for the various light sensor values in the config.xml as will5's suggestion was right on the money. I didn't set the very last value to 255 however so that in bright light your keyboard/capacitive keys won't be backlit.
- Fixed the net stats module for a plethora of bugs, ranging from foreground net use vs. background use showing up, and packets/bytes were reversed in some cases which would end up causing a crash in that screen after a few weeks. It should play nicer with others now.
- I'm using a new version of the older version 6 formatting for the apns-conf.xml file. It's a "large style" file from CM's prebuilts for Gingerbread. I'm hoping to pick back up the service for those that lost it in alpha 3/4, while keeping the 3G service for everyone else. Verizon defaults are still in place for the US users.
- I need logcats of the GSM phone FC's so that I can fix them.
- Looking at recoding some of the apk's from the stock ROM to handle some things like: Dock Audio, HDMI, PIN Code Entry for SIM cards, etc. I'd like your feedback on which to do first -- I'll probably toss up a new blog post and you can weigh in.. how does that sound?
- Changed the secondary sd card environment var in init.rc as mentioned by Voltage Spike. (SECONDARY_STORAGE) This fixes the display of TiBu and some other apps. Gallery still has issues, use QuickPic till I can find a suitable fix for the stock Gallery and the external SD card.
- I have 6 of 9 of the kernel modules needed before I can do some "proof of concept" testing on the camera. Thank you for the patience; it's a *****.
- I haven't had time to dig into the Bluetooth subsystem. I feel like it's basically broken for legacy audio atm. But, I need to take a look around and see how other phones are setting it up.
