I am currently rooted and on Prime rom. Does anyone know where or when there will be a 3.2 flashable zip that is stock but just rooted? I'd really like to just format and flash the stock rooted 3.2 to my transformer..

As the method and original scripts are now irrelevant due to change of distribution format by Asus (from full ROMS to incremental patches), I close the thread.

2011 07 22 : Update : v1.2 Just released to market

--

I've finally pulled myself together and thrashed out my first ever android game!

I know there are many seasoned veterans on this forum with biblical knowledge of the platform, but being completely new to Java and object oriented programming it was a massive leap for me!

Sorry, but I just wanted to share!

Oh, did I mention it is free?

Paul

If you get 5 mins please check out Livestock vs The Undead Lite on the market - all comments (preferably constructive) are welcome as I shall be updating regularly. :D
[Android Apps and Games] josephnero:
i will check it out man.;)
[Android Apps and Games] pphillips001:
I'd appreciate it. Hope you like it. I have a ton of ideas of where to take it next and am curious as to what everyone else thinks.

Cheers,

Paul
[Android Apps and Games] Vextreme:
You use the acc sensor to pan the view a bit.

- this looks nice but sadly it's a bit clunky with the movement.

- this makes the game look clunky if you have the phone loosely in your hand (constant movement)

I always love dev's that add a no-sound mode to the first screen (at school/work)

Once placed we can't move/upgrade/fix defences or animals.

You can't see the 'health' (healthy zombies :p) of a zombie.

- so if it get's close it's hard to guess if you need more (last-minute) defence or it will die in 2 sec's anyway.

Maybe an option to get more details about the defences/animals. fe. it's health, rof, damage, costs.

The game looks nice and it's always easy to find things that could be better if you're not the one who created it ;)

If this is your first app than good job!
[Android Apps and Games] pphillips001:
The accelerometer movement will be removed in the next release. I was originally going to have more columns off screen - but it ended up making me feed seasick! I don't think it added much to the game anyway.

Great minds think alike! :D I've already coded that in for the next rel.

Not at present - you can only replace when an existing animal/etc gets chomped. I have decided to change it around a bit. It should make an interesting dynamic for the game.

I hadn't put that in to keep an element of guesswork and anticipation. Do you think it'd add to the game?

I'm going to put a tutorial mode in which will help new players and would be skippable for the veteran gamer.

Good to know you like the look and you're not wrong about it difficult to distance myself from it. Which is why I'm all over this feedback! All great stuff!

It is and thanks. :D I appreciate it's still rough around the edges but I'll keep at it until it's either awesome or I get issued a restraining order ;)

Seriously though, thanks for your kind and helpful words.

Cheers,

Paul

Hello,

I have tried several custom roms, both gb and froyo and i noticed that the ambient light sensor isn't working. Is somebody working on this ?
[Nexus One General] antikryst:
any good ones out there or soon to be out? im not from the US but im in the US now so its a good chance to get an android without a contract for me to replace my n1.

i know the nexus s is out there... but im not too keen on that since its plasticky plus lots of new dual cores coming out soon.

any thoughts?
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
I said this before in another thread, get an HD2 to hold you over. They both have the same processor/gpu. The only con would be the size.
[Nexus One General] antikryst:
if thats the best one out there... ill just hold on to my N1. i dont really see the point in upgrading to the nexus S.

the galaxy s II looks good. but still not enough.

ill just wait for the dual cores probably.

I got the G2x and had it for about 5 days before I took it back because of its issues. It was a very solid phone and I liked it but to many problems. I'm gonna be looking to Sept for the Samsung Hercules.

I'm currently using the ewjet Rom with custom kernel which is really good. I miss/need the stock 2.1 (b.0.1?) Keyboard,browser and launcher system apks as i don't really like the ones that come with ewjet.

I'm currently away from my pc for a week and don't have any means of flashing the original 2.1b firmware to try and copy the apps. I'm not even sure if I have to use that specific firmware or would any other 2.1 apk work? I have actually googled all 3 apks but none work :-( is anyone able to help by attaching them or know what I can do. ThAnks

[Galaxy S II General] xxlikquidxx:
Just got my hand on a Korean Samsung Galaxy S II. Found a NFC option under Setting menu. Then i removed the back cover, and found the NFC logo on the battery??!!? Could it be the battery is where the NFC tag is at?

Pics:

Phone manufactured date: 2011-04-26

Image took with my old Nexus One.

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S II General] Ad-sales:
Interesting

This is super interesting! From your pics I see that the phone has 4 connector pins, how many does the battery have? How many does the Indian battery have? I am inclined to believe this is the mystery behind "Optional NFC".
[Galaxy S II General] llBlackenedll:
It would be interesting to see some side on shots compared to a standard SGS II - I hear the NFC version is somewhat thicker?
[Galaxy S II General] khein:
AFAIK, the KOREAN SGS2 had NFC since launch. lol
[Galaxy S II General] mjcook1984:
sd card slots not in the same place either
[Galaxy S II General] chalid:
An NFC-chip inside the battery would actually make sense. It has a large surface area inside the phone, which would make the NFC handling easier.

However, the design is completly different. On the non-NFC GS2, the microSD cardslot is on the left side and the battery connectors are on the right side. Some small differences with the SIMcardslot and the external antenna connector too. So it seems its more than just the battery.
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 2842059:
What are the specs on this version? Do they use the AT&T US frequencies?
[Galaxy S II General] kohiiou:
Just a quick question: Have you checked 3G bands on the phone?

I heard that the Korean version is NOT quad-band, and am just wondering if you could check that.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
I mentioned this a while ago.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13760704#post13760704

It's my understanding that the phone extends the NFC antenna onto the battery so signals don't get blocked by the battery.

It's tri-band only. Don't know why they'd do that though.
[Galaxy S II General] xxlikquidxx:
I think this version is quad-band GSM and quad-band UMTS. Not sure, I dont have the box with me. Will test this with AT&T in the states when i get back there next month.

I'm unable to use the 3G since i dont have phone service on this SGS2, im just using it on wifi at the moment.

How do you check to see if it's tri-band or quad-band GSM/UMTS?
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
can you pls dump the stock ROM u have in that SGS2 ? it might be useful... i dont know in what way, but may be yes or may be no...

just curious.... from that pic its quite clear that the battery has the NFC chip built in to the SGS2..... thats amazing...

thats why samsung has maded such a thin plastic backcover... i guess so.... nice thinking & it is an indirect clue i am almost sure....

what do u guys think ???
[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
Was on one of the Korean Samsung Spec pages. Lost the link. Although I don't see why they'd make the international version quad band and the domestic version tri band, makes no sense. There's a number code you can enter to check the phone's settings/hardware. It didn't seem to work for me though.

BTW how did you manage to get the phone? It's my understanding you can't buy it outright here unless you're on a visa. Unless you're on a visa...:p

@manuvaidya:

They've been dumped already. They were dumped a few days after the phone was released. Seems like it's just not that interesting to devs here.

[Galaxy S II General] Aero:
I hope so, we can just purchase the battery and/or sim if both are needed and we get NFC.

I guess NFC in the future release might mean it comes with a NFC enabled battery.
[Galaxy S II General] MattP79:
I found a basic side-by-side comparison of the Korean and Internation models:

hxxp://u23dom.blogspot.com/2011/04/galaxy-s2_29.html

Hit up Google Translate for a .. er .. translation.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
The UK release phone also has 4 connectors pins and the UK battery also has 4 connectors.

I have the same battery that is labeled "Near Field Communication" and no, unfortunately it does not enable NFC on a stock UK phone running KE7.

Also, did anyone notice that the connector pins on the Korean SGSII are on the left side vs ours which is on the right?
[Galaxy S II General] xxlikquidxx:
I think it's like that because the Korean SGS2 has an antenna on the right side to watch TV-over-the-air.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Extra thickness is probably from the DMB tuner

All korean phones come with DMB tuners.

[Galaxy S II General] Mafia303:
what is the software version of this device?
[Galaxy S II General] nk_blu:
Dang, I was thinking of getting a spare battery from Korea.
[Galaxy S II General] MeanWoman:
Do both batteries work with uk version of the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
I just realized that my SGS2 is not the international model, I9100, but M250S. I knew my unit was manufactured in Korea due to the antenna on the top right corner.

My phone was bought from the gray markets in China, and it was sold to me as "I9100". The information from the phone itself also says so, but now I believe that's because it's been hacked/rooted and flashed with a European (I think German firmware).

I only got one battery, and it's not the one with NFC.

When it comes to functionality, besides NFC and DMB, what are the differences between the Korean version and the international SGS2, if any?

Hi Guys,

i've just bought an brand new phone from my provider (T-Mobile Austria) and every partner which i am phoning with, was crying that i cannot be understand very good.

i've tried now with a friend to hear it by myself - and indeed its very awful. so it seems that my microphone is damaged or bad.

i have also tried an reset, and updated to the newest KE7 firmware .....but now the samsung repair point rejects to fulfill the guarantee.

now i was searching for the BOKE4 firmware to revert to original t-mobile firmware....

does anybody know if samsung is able to recognize if there was another firmware installed ....is there any log mechanism behind so that they can see that i didnt flashed it via kies? (i took odin....)

i want to try to go to the samsung repair point without saying them that i've flashed the handy with odin.....any risk of repair costs when they reveal that ive flashed it before?

thanks and regards,

[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Does it ask you for a password? If it does, you need to enter the password before you can connect to it. Ask the router's owner for the password or if the wifi belongs to the University meant for student use, then ask a technician or someone like that.

in any case, best thing is to talk to the IT guys there, should at least point you in the right direction
[Android Apps and Games] romitkin:
hi.

I wonder if there is any app to change the tune a caller hears when he calls me (instead of hearing the regular beeps until I answer, the caller hears a music/voice file).

This is something similar to the recorded message you hear when you call to any service provider, until they answer you.

I am not sure if this is technically possible but here is my suggestion of how this could work:

When a call arrives, the app "takes control" over the call, picks it up, and plays a song/mp3 file that I have chosen. Meantime, the phone at my end rings.

And then there are two options:

1.I pick up the phone, the app stops playing the file and lets me "take control" over the call

2.I don't pick up after X time, the app disconnects the call.

I am not sure how it is in another contries but in Israel this service is offered by most of the cellular companies. However, there is no possibility to choose your own file, you have to choose between a few songs available in their database.

I am sorry if this this post is in the the wrong section. If it is please transfer to the right place.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It can be done, but it would not work properly.

You would have to send data from your phone to another one, which means a call would first have to connect.

If you were to make it work, you would have to auto-pickup all calls and then play the message. It would cost people money :)
[Android Apps and Games] doktornotor:
Uh. Not when the operator does not support this. At least not in a way that would not p**s the hell out of the caller by paying for listening to your music and eventually result in your paying the roaming charges in case someone listens to your music while you are abroad. :p
[Android Apps and Games] daniel.mitran:
No, you can't. It's all in the hands of the provider.

I use SetCPU to help battery life but someone told me it's not needed on the SGS2 as it already scales CPU for demand. True?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullman:
Interesting point you raise actually.

I've just installed Setcpu and used the on demand governor. I left the values as default (200mhz for minimum and 1.2 ghz for maximum) - with no overclock.

I've immediately noticed swiping through the screens is a bit smoother and the biggest improvement is the gallery. All my photos appear much smoother. Before the gallery app was a bit lagy.

I haven't set any profiles yet such as screen off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzuijlek:
Every Android phone I've owned scaled the cpu, I think they all do. I've found that with setCPU my battery gets drained much faster en no real benefit in smoothness.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullman:
Have you tried this yet though on the Galaxy S2?

There is definitely less lag than before - as stated, specifically in the gallery app. Just generally swiping feels more responsive as well. Battery is still pretty awesome, especially when using Lightening Rom 1.1 and the Android battery calibration app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanmay®:
Hmm. I'll try SetCPU on the SGS2 and post back the findings (Performance+Battery).
