Would anybody be willing to test out an ICS alpha for the Pro?

What's the difference between this ICS ROM and the one by _lurker?

Damn. I really thought what I did would do the trick to get data connected. I will remake another build tomorrow and look at other ics roms. Gps should work as it's connected to satellites but it shouldn't update the map if you don't have an internet connection

Thanks. I really appreciate you working to get this going.

Darn...I guess GSM doesn't work at all. I thought it would just be data that didn't work, which would have been fine.

Looks like it's back to CM7 for me. ICS is so beautiful, too.

EDIT: _lurker's build seems to work with GSM.

Would it help at all to look at the Droid 2 Global ICS Roms? Other than the cosmetic differences (screen size and landscape keyboard), I think the internals appear to be nearly identical.

I'll have to check that forum... I couldn't get GSM to work with yesterdays build from lurker. It seemed like it 'could' work since it saw AT&T for a few seconds until it rebooted itself, but after that I couldn't get it to see it at all.

Well, I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm not in the U.S. right now, so there's no CDMA network to be found. I had previously been using CM7 on the Pro, and I left the SIM card in while I flashed, so on bootup, the ICS ROM found the GSM network that I use and connected to it. Strangely, in my phone settings, there's not even an option to switch to CDMA. I also have the option to add an APN from within the settings (I think you mentioned you had to use some other app to get that option).

Interesting. When I first booted up on lurkers build (after trying this build), it briefly showed AT&T in the dropdown, but then before I could do anything it rebooted itself. After the reboot I didn't see anything and it was stuck in CDMA roaming. I also didn't see the APN settings menu (without a trick to go there) but maybe I missed that. I suspect though that since you're not in the US that you're not using the hacked froyo radio?

I saw that my apex build had in the build.prop file to boot up in 7) global mode vs. 4) CDMA mode that is set on this rom. I tried changing that, but it didn't do anything, probably more than just that one setting. Maybe if I knew what the GSM mode was for the build prop, i could try that to force it into GSM mode.

By hacked Froyo radio, do you mean the one that has the baseband unlocked? If so, that is actually the radio I'm using. My US carrier is T-Mobile. That's so weird that it worked for me and not for you.

Yup, thats what i meant... The band-unlock was for the froyo radio since they never were able to band unlock the gingerbread radio (thus why i made the pro version of axl's kernel hack so we could use the gingerbread roms).

Anyway, yeah, odd it worked for you and not me. I was using AT&T and not T-Mobile, but I doubt that would make a difference. Oh Well, I'll give it a try again this weekend... maybe they'll have another update by then to play with and i'll spend more time screwing with getting the radio to work.
