Since, LPB samsung added some sort of check in kernel, if signature of kernel is not samsung then it disabled secure storage.

That means, you will not be able to install certain apps which are supposed to use it. Apps like, Talking Tom, Birzzle and lot more.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
To be more specific they checked for yellow triangle, if its there then we can't install certaib apps to internal storage.

anyone uses ninphetamine kernel here???? how is it? why was it stopped?
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
What the hell? Do they really hate customers?

HTC is on a bootloader unlocking spree and look at Samsung! This is definitely my last Samsung phone!
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Everyone says it and buys a galaxy phone when it comes out. Maybe samsung will remove the limitation from final build. Maybe they did it just to avoid some kind of bug
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
It looks like so.

a 1080p video shot on my S2

[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Great quality video. But did you use stock camera? Or some other app?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Ninphetamine was one of the best kernel for s2 in the past. The developer hacre stopped updating it due to some reasons and now it is dead but still can be used with GB roms.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
stock camera. ICS Rom

its just that surrounding light plays a big important role.

Android Development

Today I started Android Development as a part of my hobby. Lets see how it goes. :)
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
how do i get started with it?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Woot ? :O

A Doc wants to do deving ... :). Looks like we devs are going to be in trouble :P ...

Anyways, Jokes a part ... First and foremost thing you need it nice, high end machine which can handle Eclipse.

Then, You need to know Java Language.

Once you have it , Android.com has nice tutorials to get a long.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
lol.

machine, i got an i5 with 4gb ddr3 and 1gb ati radeon

language, i know english, hinid, urdu, tamil. little bit of swahili and minimal spanish. lol

i dont know java dude.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
It is expected from doc. :)

If you are serious with deving in Android , You must learn java first. However, Since you are a doc you might need more things to learn as well
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
I'm also a Dev. What languages do you know? :)

Btw, I'm working on a KDE Plasma Active port. Want to join? :D
[Galaxy S II General] qsaifoddin:
Does any one know how make unicode i mean hindi and other language visible on miui 2.3.10
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Good luck @Virtualsk and @Debadatta for all your endeavours.

@Virtualsk what are you working on?

And @emze if you dont wanna to create Full fledged apps then you can atleast mod certain apps or may be theme apps :) You dont need Java knowledege for those.Just read How tos from the forums of other devices and try those on S2.If it works share with us :)
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Well, I come from Windows Platform. I am .NET Dev. I don't have that good knowledge on Linux. :(

I know Java so, trying to learn android programming and create some app/widget.
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Tried LPH.. Touch on it is still laggy and there is too much TW flavour with it :(

Any idea bout how long it would take to fix the streaming and video bugs in CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
If you know .NET then also you can apply those OOPS concepts here..Same concepts class,methods,encapsulation,public,private,etc., are here too :)

Hmm saw you are a tech Arch..then it will be quite easy for you..Open up any app in eclipse and see the control flow..sab apne aap pata chal jayega. :D

BTW its a time taking process.You ought to have a lot off patience to create apps. ;)

Not until Samsung releases the required sources.So we have to wait till an official version pops up on KIES somewhere in the world.
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
didn't you have any problems with auto focus of galaxy s2 which actually worsens the video rather than improving the quality?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Yes, thats true.

I am only learning Android framework related stuffs. I have been part of enterprise product development since last six years. I think, that should be good enough to create some nice architecture for Android App.

I need some topic first on which I should start preparing App. Like I said, I am learning as my hobby, by profession I am .NET Dev. There are lot of projects in my company which are on android platform. Since, I am Tech. Arch , I can utilize my android knowledge.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Oh, I am a die hard Linux user. I know Java to some extent. I mainly know C++, Vala and Google Go. Silverlight and JavaScript coding looks like a piece of cake to me :D
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Was planing to get a new phone for my dad for around 15k...

Was considering the NEO or the Neo V...

Any other suggestions? Is the Galaxy W available in India?

Omnia W is also an option but wana stick to Android..
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
any one got 2GB from idea 3G offer?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Lol..Since i am a Business Intelligence consultant/developer i wanted to create an app to view "Business reports" with slicing/dicing,ability to see data in charts/graphs/bar graphs.That would have been a super duper hit.All those apps are for iPhone as of now.Not ported to Android.But,i am really busy with othe stuffs these days so i have dropped that plan.

If it interests you..you can try that :)If it works..You are gonna be rich ;) lolz
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
I'm interested in andrioid programming too, having a thought of practising it, either I didn't had time nor felt too lazy to start :D . All those eclipse plugins and adk tools are updated to latest, but didn't started yet.

And also I'm not that much interested in cooking Modding things, have done a few for my own use though.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Wont your company have a tender for making that app instead of giving it to a newbie android developer. Like us :p your company is too

Generous lol
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
I work on MainFrames :) An entirely different World.

Wish i could develop my Java skills sometime...:(
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Don't see the 8mp camera in Neo and go for Neo v because Neo v will be officially supported by Sony

EDIT:Neo v have a fully working ics by Sony(a version they released for testing and user feedback)
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Hey!! that was my idea..not my company's. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I don't know from when lol. So lost track of the apps :-(

Basically yes. I had avast anti virus and theft installed with root access. The root access was to that extent that it even flashed some file to system area so it won't be removed manually. I have uninstalled avast and re flashed the ROM still the message not going off

Lol. Welcome back mate. Glad you got back your GS2 :-D Feeling home already I suppose :-P

Welcome back buddy! How was the honeymoon? :-P

Neo V is 18K right? I brought my mom Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman for 14.8K. Its small in size which was the main requirement. It hasn't lagged anywhere. Haven't tried any gameloft games yet. The sound quality is amazing. I even got a nice headphones for free and 4GB memory card.

The only downside is that screen is TFT. Looks a dull. May be because I have been using GS2 super amoled plus. Although its legible on direct sunlight to some extent and there is no auto brightness option even where there is a sensor! One more sad thing is that there are no quick toggle icon on notification drawer like wifi, Bluetooth, data and stuffs! That's really a bummer. Battery life is okay. It would come for 2 days with minimal usage.

I only feel that Sony could have improved there colour choices in UI as its not on par with Samsung's.

Also there is an ICS update for the same if I'm not wrong :-D
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
My experience taught me ONE GOLDEN RULE.

Stay AWAY from Sony Ericssion! I wouldn't be surprised if they stop supporting Neo V after Sony Xperia S is out. I have been with them for x10 and their support was terrible. Never again!

If you want to get a good mobile for that price go for Galaxy S. It's far better and the development is onpar SGS-II.

Another alternative would be to go with Omnia.

Hope it helped.

[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Your right Neo V does make more sense over Neo... But NeoV has not gt official CM support yet... :(

Thanx for the response... Im aware of how Sony supports their devices.. had a bad experience with my sister's X8...

Lets see..
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Their is;)

U have to flash neo rom and then the neo v camera add on

Their only the camera is different

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Galaxy S is old just like our x10 no official ICS love for them and Neo V is much powerful as its 2nd gen Snapdragon processor and adreno 205 GPU

I was also having x10 as my previous phone till January 2012

Neo V is newly released phone and atleast ICS is officially supported(and will be supported further as only international device coming is Xperia S)

Is niphetine kernel or red pill kernel better on stock rom???
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
My bro just bought a Airtel 3g sim and their is an offer,if u recharge 300 of 3g u will get 3 gb 3g data and this offer is only for one time in one sim card so

1.Buy new sim card

2.Recharge 300 of 3g

3.Use it and throw the sim

4.Buy new sim and do the above steps

5.....????????

6.PROFIT??!??!!!
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
red pill kernel is newer and uses latest sources. you can also try siyah kernel which is very much tweakable, and yeah, you ca use them on stock rom for better performance
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Guys try NDTV app it is really nice...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Im a fan of TOI , nice app too:)

@ sahib

airtel totally frustrated me on my trip, thought of seeing my favourit football match hence planned to activate a 3g plan 30 min free for 45 rs, but those idiots didnt activated it in time and i missed the whole match , they didnt stopped there i activated 1 day 2g plan , again those people charged me for using internet and 200rs gone without my notice, had a big fight with them and at last they accepted to refund my money.

btw reached home :) LPH is waiting to get flashed :D
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
LPH is waiting for you and I'm waiting for checkrom v6 ....Congrats on wining war.......TOI? will try it too than
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

Great song by Kishor Kumar,"Thoda hai, Thode ki Jarurat hai.."

What we received from Samsung's leak, I M not satisfied!!

let's see What official ICS will bring to us.

As per News, Google already started working on Jelly bean.

This is because ICS wont get that success like GB.

In that case just want to confirm about carrier base firmware:)
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
It will just be with some Vodafone apps and bloatware
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
ITs not like ICS wont be a success like GB, but JB is mainly prepared in advance to compete with windows 8 .

No link for LPH on Intratech's thread? Can someone give me the link? I have to flash it normally like I flashed KL1?
[Galaxy S II General] PRATS228:
GUYZ anyone plz help .. few months back i have locked some images with some image locking app and by mistake i factory reset my android now i am unable to find the app which i used for locking. i only remember that the folder was VAULT in DCIM and the images which are locked are in *.txt format anyone knows which app locks the file in txt format..
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You mean Frankenstein rom?? I guess its not ready yet
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Frankenstein is full wipe or non wipe? Where can I find LPH? IDC if it's Frankenstein or the other one. I have to flash it normally?

Edit: I flashed the old bootloader after flashing 2.3.6 KL1. Now when I flash LPH, I won't have to flash the bootloader again, right?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
If yo're flashing over GB Rom, your data will be lost. Make a TB backup and then flash. remember that some apps wont work on ICS Rom
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Data is contacts, messages,apps and all, right? What about my bootloader query, I really appreciate you help man.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Right,

you need to flash LPH along with bootloader, So you again flash a kernel for rooting purpose and want to reset counter, need to flash old boot loader again

I have given up hope in Samsung ICS ROMS... Pure ICS is pure ICS.. Lets hope we get a stable Cm9 build soon...
[Galaxy S II General] sam142000:
Just log in via ur id in the Android Market website and look for the app in ur library there!!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Common sense bro.....

There is nothing to be given up.

Will we see hTC without Sense? Motorola without Moto Blur? SE without theirs and blah blah....

This is business, you can NOT expect to kill their own UI. Have said it hundred times before, don't know why this simple common sense is missing.

Besides, you can change to any launcher to have your pure ICS experience or whatever you want, I really am absolutely not interested to that. Also as you said you can try CM or other AOSP formatted ROM's, but that doesn't mean you can/should expect any AOSP ROM's from Samsung, that'll never happen, and that is absolutely fine.

Anyway, I had given a try to the famous Nova and Trebuchet launcher, well nothing special, 480x800 walls don't set properly and customisation options are lot less if you compare with Go.

BTW- Anyone on LPH, is Chrome Beta working for you guys? Mine is freezing all time!!!
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
So if I flash a GB Bootloader on an ICS rom, it doesn't matter? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
TW isn't a launcher that if u replace and get ICS feel

On gingerbread TW=Good,functionality is good,Looks are crappy and cartoon colours

On ICS TW=Worse,kills ICS,Looks are much more crappier,Can't live on it more than 3 minutes :/

Sense and Sony uxp looks good so user won't be annoyed much(actually sony uxp is just a skin and can be removed and modded like real ICS)

TW just looks like **** and kills all ICS fun and looks like GB(motoblur also looks crap)

Atleast other manufactures are updating their UI
[Galaxy S II General] rocky23:
i don think any company will change its ui, may b jus upgrade...well ill get to kno wen sammy rolls out ics officially via kies...i got motorola too an i like both sammy , moto ui good...but i heard the sony ui feel much inferior...???:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@prats228 try renaming this images and change their format to .jpg it might help..
[Galaxy S II General] PRATS228:
It worked bro :):) ....
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
That app will just display whatever is there is in the website. Is there anyway to see the actual newspaper?

As far as I know frankestine ROMs will be non wipe. Raviteja here flashed it from infratech thread for LPB ROM and it was non wipe. However you might as well make nandroid and titanium backup.

Guy's CheckROM v6 is out? Anyone tried it?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I'm using v6 .....unable to flash ICS v1.9 :(
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
So I am not the only one who thinks samsung has made ICS looks crappy. Samsung wants all to buy sgs 3 to get real ics look. :eek:

TW 5 will give ics feeling. So old device will be like this ****ty.

Hoping sammy release source soon so we get cm9 soon. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Samsung? There is no company called Samsung...There is a company called Sh*tsung :p
[Galaxy S II General] brar.arsh:
+1.. Right now using LPH but will go back to CM9.. This is a piece of ****.. Tw spoiled the ics look.. GB looks good infront of this.. Its like GB + facelock and some other features.. CM7 is much better then this ics with TW..

Sent from my SGSII running CM9
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
Wouldn't a proper ics themed ROM which replaces most of the Samsung apps with Google apps (including contacts and phone) solve your issue? There are a few ROM'S which attempt to do that, but for me hasn't come near CM9's look, but hopefully it will improve. :)
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Hey, everyone..

Its been so many days, that i haven't logged on xda. So, all in short..... Any recent news about ICS?? Or any fully working leaks??
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I want to be a Android Dev but no idea from where I need to start :(
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I have seen people praising Sense. But just a few days back I read about people complaining how horrible Sense is in the HTC's leaked(?) ICS builds.

It's the case of grass is always greener on the other side. I for one never liked that crappy dock on HTC phones. To each his own I guess...
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
If you've already installed Eclipse, its ADT Plugins etc, you might want to start here.

If you have not installed those. you might want to start here.

Happy devving! :D

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Comparing Sense with TouchWiz, Sense is a hell lot better man! At least it makes you feel like "Yes! I do have a costly phone which can handle all this eye candy". TouchWiz makes me feel like I have bought a crappy phone with a cartoon like interface. My personal favorite is TimeScape though.
[Galaxy S II General] ssvijay:
So much hatred towards TW . Ppl Tw 4 was ported to SGS 1 in a month or 2 so definitely our devs can do the same to sgs2 if the next version of TW releases.

And i feel TW is not that bad as ppl speak abt it here.
[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
@Harsharaj

TOI- in paper format

http://www.epapers-hub.com/india/times-of-india.html

What about ur problem in ur GS2, u were talking about a few days back?

Solved or still pending?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Fully working leaks? Nah.

Try LPH, it's stable that much I can say.
[Galaxy S II General] rocky23:
very true the real ics will b realesed for new comming phones.i think we will get ,not the pure ics....:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I am not sure but I don't think that TW4 is fully ported, there are still apps that are left. Simply because it's a port. You can't beat the official firmware, ports always have a bug or the other. Our phone is one year old and we don't have a stable CM7 build. So, for me at least, this Greenish TW4 on ICS rom is bad news. They could've changed the color to blue overall? I'm tired of this green color. :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I love the timescape UI

Missing it so much!!!:(

And its muccccccch easier to port it than sense

See this rom with fully stock apps and look:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400384

CM7 have similar framework so it can easily ported to our CM7 but the only problem is that we need to change the resolution of the apps because arc/x10 have 480x854
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
TimeScape is the best UI I've seen so far. Breeze is also good (Acer UI), it changes the whole concept of Android. Its somewhat like MIUI. But yea, at the end, TouchWiz is not even that bad when it comes to functionality. I'd rate it second best for functionality next to Breeze. TimeScape and Sense only have eye candy.

P.S. TimeScape is easier to port because it is just a skin as far as I know unlike Sense or TouchWiz which is a whole different framework.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Guys I seriously doubt why some of you purchased Samsung at first place :(

Didn't all of ya know about TW, or expected TimeScape with Samsung or TW 5 in GSII?

Really hard to understand!!!

:confused:

:confused:

:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Yup i know it

Bought it for its power and to install CM

But i didn't expected it this bad with official ics
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well thats there. But i needed an app to view it as newspaper. Like in the readers hub>newspapers you get a newpaper kind for NY times and stuffs.

And yes the issue seems to have resolved after uninstalling avast and reflashing the ROM. Needed to reflash the ROM as avast was installed to the system partition.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
ithehappy, Like all said, TW 4 was way better then Stock GB. but, that does not mean there is TW 4 looks same awesome with ICS. ICS has its own UI Pattern which are much much better then TW4 for sure.

Its not about purchasing samsung dude. I about how they are handling new OS update. I mean, Compare Pure ICS look with TW 4 based ICS. Its no where near.

Its not that they cannot do it. The will make ICS based TW for SGS III, but they wont do it for SGS II. So, In general I (we) are saying that Samsung should update Old framework to mach ICS as well.

No Offense btw. ithehappy , like your reviews post. great going.

Hey guys. How to root GT-i9100G

how to root and install custom rom on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G.. please help me..

I am still new here...:(
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Timescape UI also have great feature like theme chooser

Which changes the background of all stock apps in phone like red/blue/green/u can also make ur own theme

Like dialer/phonebook/settings/etc background is changed

Timescape app itself is very functional

u can sort apps in app drawer and make folders on desktop

and much more:D

I forgot to say that porting apps is as hard as sense but the one rom that is based on CM7 have that Sony apps have all the work done and only resizing the apps/contacting the dev and making framework changes and coping the correct permissions
