I wil have a SGS II soon, and I was wondering because it's not a HTC phone, will it have the same level of hacking/development as other popular HTc phones eg Sensation or Desire HD?

Essentially, will lots of developers put time & effort into a non-HTC platform? I ask because there does not seem to be that many custom ROMs for the SGS compared to other platforms, i would hate to see such an awesome piece hardware not being exploited to it's full potential.
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
Have a look in the dev and apps/themes forums, they're full of high caliber dev projects. It can only get better when more countries and more devs get their hands on the S2.

Cool story bro...

Take a look in dev forum. Remember it's quality, not quantity... A themed "rom" isn't development. It is a nice theme. You tend to get more and better development when there are less "unzip, theme, zip, release" roms.

But to answer, yes there is plenty going on...

As has been stated, there are already great Roms available in the dev section. That being said, this phone is that good on stock that Roms enhance the user experience instead of fixing the holes created by the manufacturer.
[Galaxy S II General] A$h x:
Ha, I can't believe I was so scared to get the SGS2 vs a HTC. It takes a large dump from a great height on any HTC handset to date. Our sub-forum is literally heaving with development, while the HTC guys struggle with locked bootloaders :p Long live the Galaxy S II.
[Galaxy S II General] Apoena:
If you think there are few custom ROM's for the SGS2 you should look at the Xperia forums. I am moving from the X10 to SGS2 and even after lurking around in here for a couple of weeks I haven't seen all the devs have to offer.
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
The only thing I/We need is a good and stable release of MIUI and CM7 :D And ICS ofc
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Yeah i remember the early days of development for the SGSII i could only see 2/3 ROM's the only ones i remember are Villian and Lite'ning ROM's both of which are still going strong although IMO they have been superseded by other ROM's but there are so many to choose from.
[Galaxy S II General] jackleung:
I think SGS II is currently the ONLY phone that has TWO (one Original and one is not) Android development sub-forums in order to handles the loads of development threads. Isn't that ironically tell you something?

Hello everybody! I want to root my device in order to disable some stock apps. I am an advanced user, but I have no previous experience with Android and only very little with Linux. Anyway, I figured out that the first step is to get fre3vo here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150006

and then I would have to do that adb procedure. I however don't have adb. I'm running Windows 7 (64 Bit). Will I need a Unix system for this or is it somehow part of the Android SDK and compatible with Windows? Can you help me in the process of rooting my Sensation? There's no need to explain the details, I know I have to click next in an installer... I just need to know what to install, where to go and what to do. If you can guide me to the point where I can enter the adb commands I think I'll be able to do the rest myself. Also, do I need HTC Sync for the conneciton to work, or what kind of connection will I need? Your help would be much appreciated!

This SHOULD be asked in the thread really...but if you follow the instructions, it does tell you mate.

And at the very least, questions should be in the Q&A sub-forum. That's why it's there...

As for the question, I will be nice and answer: adb is part of the Android SDK and works perfectly in Windows 7 x64 (what I use myself). The install is very straight forward for the SDK. Just install the basics (what it gives you to install).
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Download the Android SDK from Google

Install It

Go to the folder where you installed it

Open the folder platform-tools

Copy the files into this folder

Fire up CMD

Navigate to the platform-tools folder

Use the commands as stated in the folder!

Can't be too hard!

Since this is a thread where you're asking a question, I would start by asking the question in the correct section. This isn't the, "Ask a DEV a Question", section. This is a section for DEVS to release stuff pertaining to Android development.

Thanks, I managed to do it with your help!

I'm sorry for creating the thread in the wrong section, I thought Q&A was more about very general questions and not exactly in-depth system stuff like rooting. Anyway, you can delete this thread if you like or merge it with the fre3vo thread.

Sorry again! I didn't mean to annoy you people.

What's the best car in the world?

Whats the best movie in the world?

And best of all, .. whats the "best" color in the world?

Answer: NONE because its subjective, What is "best" for you is not necessarily "best" for me. Please stop asking silly questions. If this is your kind of topic go read one of the other eleventy million topics by people who have asked this question.

Btw, you havent "rooted" your HD2, You have simply installed a different rom. The roms already come with root access.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Like the other poster said, the best ROM will be based on what you want. I have seen people on this forum rave about their ROM but unfortunately wouldn't work on my phone. I have my Froyo and Gingerbread favorites that work really well on my phone but may or may not work for you. By the way, our HD2 phones do not support 4G but H that you see on your phone which is equivalent to 3.5G.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robson:
as mentioned above, what works for one user may not necessarily work for you. i was previously using mdj's froyo rom. i just recently started using americandroid and it works fantastic for me. so what's the best rom around? i reckon you should try out the roms and from there you can decide which one suits you best. cheers

Wow you people who ask for the best rom are getting really annoying...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ramba69:
I think this is a VERY valid question! The Android development for HD2 is really fascinating and all developers work is very very productive! So a BIG thanks to all the developers here!!!

Unfortunately this productivity has so many threads that it is almost impossible to follow all and the streams inside are definitely confusing! Nobody can follow them all or foresee the impact of a installation of a single ROM compared to an other ROM! Installing many ROMs and trying them takes ages and when you're through, almost each version has new major or minor version developments and could start from the beginning again!

So if you ask me: We in the forum should take such request serious because they show orientation is hard here! And we really should share experiences with ROMs exactly here since this is a sticky.

My opinion on the best ROM: You first have to decide whether you

a) need operational business strength Sync: If so you should go for a Sense ROM. You Sync with HTC Sync and it is great. I like LeoRCMix Rom is here best.

If you like speed : use 1.6 - if you like 3D effect but accept it to be a little bit slower - use 1.9

But: So far all Sense-like ROMs have issues with graphical errors (glitches) - they show horizontal black lines ...

b) you need/like full android reaction speed: CyanogenMod or CoreDroid are great. But you have to sync outlook with MyPhoneExplorer which causes sometimes problems!

c) you want speed and Sense-like GUI (but need no HTC Sync): Then use a MIUI ROM - i have no experience here ...

:)

Cheers!

This is not a sticky??

Also WE DO share, There is a billion of these topics already we dont need to have a new one every day, just go read teh others instead of making your own and getting same answers, All it does is piss people off as it clogs up the forum.

The only reason why these topics get created is because the posters are too lazy to spend some time researching, trying or simply reading. Also if they really wanted to discuss a topic like this they could just go and read one of the other ones that discuss this EXACT subject instead of creating a clone and making browsing such a annoyance for those who actually go and read.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bateluer:
Also played with the Xoom, the Flyer, the TouchPad, and the Tab 10.1.

The Xoom felt well built, but heavy. The Flyer is crippled with Sense and its single core CPU, though it felt well built, its over priced.

So, I was down to playing with the Tab 10.1 and Transformer. Both felt well built and light. The Tab was 100 USD more expensive, and I believe Samsung wants to bring TouchWiz to their HoneyComb devices?

I honestly almost bought the Transformer. Thought, I held back because Netflix isn't officially supported yet. I also didn't see Skype Video either. These things would be essential for me and I wanted to research whether there were unsupported methods for these.

So, what are people using their Transformer/Tablets for? I want Netflix, Hulu, Skype Video. Although, I believe Gtalk Video does work?

Also, just a friendly reminder to everyone. If you play with a demo model at a retail store, don't leave your Facebook account logged in. :P The Flyer, the Tab 10.1, the Xoom, and the Transformer models all had accounts left logged in. The people are lucky I was the one who went hands on with the tablet next because I logged them out without so much as a status update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] teegunn:
Agreed it is unfortunate that things like netflix, hbogo are not usuable on this tab. I could live with watching HBO GO via browser, but flash seems to be all but broken on many peoples TF's also, so that is out the window for now too,

I been waiting for netflix and I do see it on android market now on transformer however it won't let you download it. Hopefully this will be updated soon.

I did the same thing yesterday. Went to a few stores, handled all of them and finally made my decision. Transformer 32gb with the dock.

All charged up and ready to tackle day 1. (Root and GO!)

LOL at people complaining at things not working I had a gtablet since November...

Things on this work really well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bateluer:
Yes, but the G-Tablet ran Froyo, not the Google-blessed HoneyComb. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkhawkff:
Got to agree with him. Once you root, and get a decent ROM on it, it's a great tablet. Grab the dock if you can, and it's even better. The Samsung is a nice tablet, but I don't care for the excessively bright and non-real colors on the screen. It makes me think that they just turned the brightness and contrast way up to make it seem like it's so bright and vivid. Also, the lack of any extra storage slot (ie SD/microSD) hinders it quite a bit. Ever tried to transfer a large file (>200megs) over wifi or bluetooth? Much easier to just use a card. I have to do this quite often (from phone to transformer) and for friends. Either way, I love mine.

Buy what you want, it's your money so spend it how you want. I love my transformer. Yes, the Samsung screen is 'oh so great', if you like that. I don't, but the Transformer screen is just as good. And, my favorite part, is I can hold onto the Transformer (golf ball dimples on the back of it are awesome...not some smooth piece of metal that gets tons of fingerprints and is slippery).

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eternalstudio:
Okay... I'm stumped. I'm new here, but I've been using the advice of the people here for a while. The problem I have is this...

I started by doing the hdmi mirror hack and using root explorer to change the build.prop file to enable hdmi mirroring to make the hdmi mirror app work. Well I was successful.

After I had fun mirroring, I simply went back into the build.prop file and changed the hdmi mirror value back to false and started looking until the webtop hack.

I couldn't figure out the method where you use the adb shell via command prompt, so I just got the edited .apk and .odex from this site and replaced the ones in the system/app location. This didn't make the webtop work. As a matter of fact, now when I plug my atrix to the tv via hdmi port, nothing happens. I replaced the edited .apk and odex files with the originals I backed up before doing this hack, and I still get no response when I plug my atrix in hdmi. By response I mean I don't get the box asking how I want to connect via hdmi.

Can someone here, with their great knowledge help me just get it back to the way it was stock? I don't get how to do it using the cmd prompt, so if you could tell me how to do it using root explorer, that would be amazing.

Maybe someone here has the original files I need to use or something? I got the originals from here, but they all had .bak because they were backup files. I just took the .bak off and pasted them in the app folder in my phone. Still nothing different.

If you need anymore details, I'll give then too you...
