Pre-Alpha ICS for Adam with Source!
Hello All,
How are we doing? First let’s take a look here:
This is the ICS Pre-Alpha demo (we think Alpha at least need sound working, should be easier to install) and is available as we speak on Conclave for download (not for faint hearted). It’s a developer release for the community so we can further push the development and get the remaining things working. Here is the conclave post link: LINK
As of now we have accelerated graphics, GPS, Wi-Fi, Accelerometer, SD Card and ADB working. Major things which are left are Camera, Sound, Sleep Bug, 3G, Bluetooth and remaining sensors.
We plan to fix these issues one by one, and you can also track the progress on Git-Hub. Source is also released on the GIT, so those interested in getting hands dirty can jump in. Not to mention special efforts from MrDead Locked, RaYmAn, Ankit and TR. Here is the GIT Link: LINK and here is the Kernel Link: LINK
Before ending post here, a special announcement. Last “small” round of sales are currently underway. This stock was reserved to be released with ICS. You can also avail New Year special discounts. Head over to this link: store.notionink.com.
Stay tuned for more information.
Warm Regards
Rohan Shravan
works great, first thing observed is the screen size, display on to is getting chopped off.
and what about battery life ? and compass thingy and eden ?
With the 2 ADAMs, I must say at times I was a bit disheartened to see the other tabs in terms of touch sensitivity and picture clarity, but the recent updates are rejuvenated my strong belief in the NI team. Hopefully “we” will be able to match the galaxies and Transformers of the world
BTW, are we getting the much awaited Weather app too
?
@merupula – you are probably trying to download things from the Files tab. Navigate to the Downloads tab. You should see a couple of buttons to initiate the download. Hope this helps….
Thanks but if I download using the download as zip under download tab, the file name is “rrathi-adamICSImage-5926486.zip” which wasn’t in the instructions. “update.zip” worked fine when I downloaded it from file tab-> raw.
got it. both the update files are in the “rrathi-adamICSImage-5926486.zip”
cannot download updateICS.zip form the link at conclave, did anyone have any luck?
here is what I get “Error: blob is too big”
Awesome! Can’t wait until the final release!
and….they are back in the game
three cheers, high fives and beers for NI & TR
Last “small” round of sales are currently underway ….
Rohan does that mean ADAM2 is coming?
Just curious … I am waiting for it ….
It sure is running smoothly! Great work guys.
peaceout
P.S. Hope your dad is recovering well MrDeadlocked
@Rohan
can you confirm (or deny) that this video is of the new Adam? http://dai.ly/NIAdam2Vid
It was uploaded by engadget last month but no where does it appear on engadgets video archives except at daily motion.

@twospirits
at around 29 sec you can see the ADAM name in the top right, and its capitalised, which makes me think this is quite an old video. the tablet also has the two small buttons in the top left which were part of a very early design, and I expect that all the function buttons would be software touch buttons on screen, plus its playing Iron man 2, not a very modern selection.
You probably noticed all this, but its worth mentioning, I don’t know where this video came from, but it didn’t come from 2011.
peaceout
Correct, just found out this morning that its an old video, but its being passed as a new one. Man I hate when the media does crap like that.
Thanks for confirming it.

FM radio will be included in the alpha version or will we have to wait for the beta version
The video shows adam move much more agile than the honeycomb version
Nice, but it doesn’t boot on my German Pqi 3G ADAM
Good beginning…hope we get audio and Bluetooth very soon, too!
A fully working ICS on adam should earn NI some interest when they show off the new stuff at ECS
ECS=CES
+1
If l can get anything close to what’s on my Samsumg Galaxy Nexus l’ll be more than pleasantly pleased.
Looking forward to an interesting January from NI, Tabletrom and team.
At the moment, just using it to read e-books on my adam.
Happy New Year to all.
When I try and download updateICS.zip, I get the following error:
“Error: blob is too big”
The update.zip file downloads just fine.
Please fix so I can download and help test.
Hi All,
Images are also available on multiupload for download, if you don’t want to sync with Github.

Has anyone a download path for market (gapps)? It seems like the one I can find will not install (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=88RKLSPU).
Also how does one register for the conclave site? The administrator has disabled the register option.

Superb job NI team and TabletRoms team.. Though I will wait for the alpha release but its really good to see the progress.. Finally I hope I will be able to use my Adam properly…
Cool….
Great initial step. Kudos to the wntire team that worked on this!
And the source code release will come in handy
Updated hardware, please. I want ICS with pixel qi.
Whoa, nice. Great progress.
Does the sleep Bug include the annoying connection loss of the WiFi after waking up? This is such a major drawback…
Also – 3G often would not reconnect and/or flight mode fails.
Both will be fixed in the very next “alpha” release.
Regards
yay!
Rohan I was angry that I had wait until ICS is released fr the Adam, since I had to wait for 4 months to test out some USB stuff. Thanks for the update !
In the major things left: would the 90 degree shift in camera with Skype Video call, be included ?
Yes. We are looking forward to see that fixed. Otherwise either we’ll look with our heads 90degrees or people who video chat has to turn their heads 90 degrees:) This is serious, wish it was possible to get a special NI version of Skype. Probably we are the only ones with a swivel cam, and Sype Co. probably won’t release a different just for us:(
Good to see some positive steps!!!
1st I hope…
tadaaaa!
