[Galaxy S II General] empiire:
Sense and TouchWiz both are very nice imho. Sense is SO integrated and clean and a perfected shot at a well made Android experience. TouchWiz is also nice, and I love TW 4.0. I have the launcher for whenever I feel like having a TouchWiz... touch... (lol) to my phone. Sense's widgets, themed overlay, etc., make it a very good experience. But WAY too heavy and cumbersome.

And whoever said Sensations lag... you must be extremely dense. Both the Sensation and EVO 3D are so blazing fast it's unbelievable. And on AOSP ROMs? I hit 4500 on quad easy. Sense is what makes the phone lag, not the phone itself.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
me and all,had a HD2 and had sense based ROM's on it and it was a resource hog,ended up i just flashed non sense ROM's on it. so people you can either have eye candy over speed and responsiveness and no lag the choice is yours.
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
I used to love sense, but it's slow, no customisation, and the facebook integration is no better. Only thing better in sense, was the weather.... :)
[Galaxy S II General] Pepski:
I think Launcher Pro offers the cleanest appearance, and I've never had any problem with loss of performance and no noticeable change in battery drain since switching.

I love Sense on the smaller HTC phones, but find them too clunky on a larger screen.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I use Fancy Widget Pro for the weather and it's not a resource hog like HTC Sense yet looks good and has all the fancy animations you get with sense.
[Galaxy S II General] JayantSparda:
Sense had the best Facebook integration imo. It also synched with your calender to see your contact birthday's.
[Galaxy S II General] Baronik:
Firstly, just after switching from iPhone 4 I liked Sense UI and even considered buying Sensation over SGS2 just for this UI. But after using it for few hours in my friends phone, I was happy I gave up the idea of buying htc with sense - it's too laggy, resource and power draining UI, that doesn't justify it with options and look. The only thing I'm missing from it is the twitter widget, which, in my opinion, is better that any of the official ones.
[Galaxy S II General] :
will there be a sense coming to galaxy s2? i know few guys are trying to port it but so far its still work in progress....but could our beastly phone handle it you guys think and i mean it wouldnt be as laggy as it is on sensation?>
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Anyone ranting on how great sense is in a galaxy a ii forum is kinda odd. I got this phone to get rid of sense. It's laggy and eats up too much resources. I love how fast and responsive Android is without sense. Specially the messaging widget/app, that lags like crazy.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
plenty of apps in the market can be of assistance to you there just search.
[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
stock rom already does that, no app needed, just join all your contacts and log into facebook on social hub, and it will all be synced.
[Galaxy S II General] leoni1980:
Sense is pretty but has very little real world advantages to me.

It is bloated

Contacts Sync interferes too heavily with my contacts. I hate the fact that some of my contacts (when automatically synced) turn into an email address rather than a name. I also hate being nagged for syncing whenever I install a contacts centric app like Whatsapp. The Facebook app, as well as Twitter and Friendcaster all have contacts sync built in so there's little point.

The HTC IME is disruptive to efficient typing and completely illogical. Better to just put the Gingerbread keyboard on there.

Sense is never as fast as stock UI and much more laggy than TouchWiz.

I do however like the fact that you can tick to disable mobile sites in the browser and it works PROPERLY for ALL SITES....even our favourite porn sites like RedTube. Everyone hates being redirected to Brazzers Mobile.....don't they?
[Droid 2 General] lexriley:
Here is the link to the new update to install just rename to update.zip place on the root of your sdcard then reboot recovery and install update.zip

[Droid 2 General] thebestvip84:
is this official gingerbread rom update?plz tell me bro.
[Droid 2 General] rtfield:
Yes it is
[Droid 2 General] thebestvip84:
hi bro,thanks a lot.I dont know why OTA updater took me 1day and 1 night for just 50% but just 10minutes to download this,i have just downloaded and install it.great so far :)
[Droid 2 General] 808Bill:
I'm impressed. I didn't think I'd get the OTA update since I flashed my phone to another carrier, but sure enough, got the update this morning, and it works great.
[Droid 2 General] dvtmg704:
Does WiFi tether work with this update
[Droid 2 General] idefiler6:
Yes it does. You just need to make sure to root.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
Is this the end of the updates for the xeu unbranded galaxy s..I hope its not
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
yawn......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tt0204:
What are you talking about?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
Are Samsung going to update the galaxy s any more or have updates have now stopped as there hasn't been any leaks for a bit
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eloisant:
I believe there will be at least one official update to fix patent related problems in the gallery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androiderrr:
We will have more updates even ICS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Northern.dj:
And were really bothered about that !!!! I have the Gallery stock app any how so i will just put it back on.

Isn't there a Google agreement that if the phone meets the minimum requirements for a Update then it gets it

Plus Gingerbread has not been the best rom for most phones

Froyo was the best as it had alot of development Gingerbread still needs work to fix the FC problems, They can't leave there phones like this as it will spill over to the other devices
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tt0204:
Well, Samsung is busy on ICS, so probably no more GB firmwares.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
Think so tooo... :) If Nexus S is already running ICS then it should be a major problem to make it runable on galaxy s maybe with TW4? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aleebaan:
This is only for phones made 2011 or later.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zahaim:
We need to face the fact that sooner or later this day will come.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
i just want to no when the day will be... so then i can try out the other roms at lease they should get updated i just miss using odin
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
Surely the people to ask are Samsung Technical Support, as the members of XDA do not normally have a priority information feed from Samsung.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pjdonahoo:
I did everything from the post and all is fantastic. Thank You NinjaWolf!!!!!!!!!

Did run into an issue. no matter what i back out of, Sense has to re-load. Any help would be appreciated.

Pete
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
I have not tried this ROM (on MikG at the moment) but I was on the previous OTA and this was a common issue. The memory management in the release was booting Sense out of memory when another app was run. I have read about a couple of ways to fix this but I have not tried either.

Method 1:

Download and run Spare Parts (from the market). Click on the setting for Activity / Process Management. Change it to Aggressive and then back to Normal. I think this may not stick after you reboot.

Method 2:

You need to edit the file /system/build.prop. I use Total Commander but you can use ES File Maneger, etc.

- Navigate to /system

- Open build.prop in an editor.

- Search for a line with ro.HOME_APP_MEM. Edit it (or add to the end of the file if it does not exist) to read:

ro.HOME_APP_MEM=3072

- Save the build.prop file.

You may need to reboot to have this take effect.
[HD Mini General] ahmararif:
This is the error when i type my device serial at HTC Rom upgrade page.

when i enter my phone serial this error occurs

"The serial number you’ve provided appears to be invalid. Please try again."

if i download update using anyone other's phone serial

Will my phone misbehave after upgrade.
[HD Mini General] ahmararif:
Additional info

I contacted the HTC support and received following information

Thank you for contacting HTC. In regards to your Inquiry kindly be advised that Currently the upgrade of HTC mini is not available in South Africa.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
if your phone is not carrier locked you can use any custom ROM using DFT SSPL
[HD Mini General] ahmararif:
No phone is not carrier locked. So i am good to go with it.

thanks for help
[Atrix 4G General] hyelton:
So I have expernce with CDMA phones and roms with android and all the way back to widnows mobile as well so I know what mostly to do. BUT I have STOCK gingerbread when I bought it from the store. So How do I go about doing this? I kinda want a Blurless rom. like stock everything and STOCK messagaing the full google expernace to say lol.

Well What do I need to do? I seen the main sticky thread in android dev BUT it doesnt really tell me anything much.

So how do I go about doing this??

Or maybe atleast a battery mod with the stock rom and the Wireless tether. And maybe something to help make the signal refresh much quicker than it does

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Check out the noob sticky. And then head on over to the development forum and start shopping. Well, reading first. Then shop.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] hyelton:
Well, I tried that. But It doesnt make much since to me. It says I must look into this and that well its confusing. Could u Paste here the part I need? and or how to?
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Im not much of a linker, and im on phone. Type pudding in the search bar in the development forum. You're going to have download a couple things, flash a file or two, fastboot oem unlock a few times and make sure you read ahead in case you mess up. And read. And read ahead. We don't need another I bricked my pants thread. To tell the truth im not sure which rom is the best for blurless. You'll have to do that on your own or wait for an answer. Cyanogenmod 7 is being done for our phone. That will be a really good option for AOSP rather than stock. Its still in beta and slightly broken.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] hyelton:
Okay thanks. How would U load the 1% battery mod? or something for better battery life? And on the stock rom? and how could I load a better radio? and what about be better for a low signal area and something that refreshes the signal alot faster than a min
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
You have separate radio flashes. Read up on the ones that are compatible with your phone and/or region/carrier. Im assuming most roms have the 1% mod built in now. Should be in the features/changelog of X rom you decide to download.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
And I think there are only two kernels available. The atrix handles everything pretty well as far as battery life. Be realistic about your usage. Dont expect all day battery life when you're playing tegra games or watching streaming youtibes videos off a cell signal. If you're game for oc'ing or better yet undervolting im assuming faux123 is the kernel to dl. This requires a lot of reading if you are unfamiliar with how a kernel works, and what oc'ing/uv'ing are. Before you even download a kernel you should untick "load on boot" in setcpu.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Keep an eye on the CM7 beta builds. They're currently the only way to get a blur-free rom, and its somehwat buggy(no camera, drops calls) but once those get fixed it would be perfect for day to day use.

To flash any roms, you'll need to unlock your bootloader. Look up pudding.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foreverzero89:
why are there only two govoners for the OC kernels? niether of them work the way they read either, the powersave doenst kick the clock to the min and keep it there, neither does the performance. so my Q is what the dilio?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
I don't have any governors. The atrix seems to govern itself nicely. I have some decent undervolt though. From -55 to -180.

I voided my warranty and your mum.

Hey Guys,

Is there any Polish users arround here?

I'm a portuguese guy and I will be in Opole for Erasmus and I'm looking for some help choosing a network/plan for me and my friends =)

[General Questions and Answers] Rebellos:
I'll just add few things:

Play Fresh is also interesting, it's cheap talks+sms+data. But the first 2 cheap only between Play users and it's expensive between other operators.

Play Online used to be very limited someday, now it's almost country-wide.

However, mainly DC21 has recommended the best offer, I agree with him.

Play runs partly on the network infrastructure plus (national roaming/no data!).

Play Fresh is interesting, without internet.

val. 30 days

Deals are complex ;)
[General Questions and Answers] JoaoVr:
Those plans got free sms?

Orange Free Na Karte is the only one I can have Calls + Internet?

Free sms is important so we can stay in touch, and internet 4/5 of we got and Android phone so we can use Google Maps if we get lost, google translate, skype on phone, etc...

So you can have an idea my Portuguese plan:

I have to "charge" him with a least of 10€ (41Pln) to stay active but I can use that money.

-They give me free sms, mms, calls, video calls to all people inside that Plan

-They give me free sms to all mobile companie

With the money I charge I use it to text or call other companies and to buy Internet extras.

-1.25€ (5PLN) 100Mb a week

-2.50 (10PLN) 500Mb a week

App Description

Connect 4 is an enjoyable classic, but now, thanks to Android technology, you can enjoy Connect 4 with an interesting twist. Gravity Wins is based on the two-player game, however every few rounds, the board rotates changing the physics, allowing the pieces to fall into new positions depending on the gravity orientation. Now that can be a game changer.

To win, you need four of your stones in a line. The line can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The active or winning player is highlighted at the top of the screen. The number in the upper-right hand corner tells you how many rounds are left until the next field spin.

Currently, two people play on one Android or one person against a AI-Player

All Permissions are because of Ad Support

Product Features

App to SD enabled

Enjoy the classic game, Connect 4, but now with a twist

Try to line up 4 of your stones while alternating turns with your opponent

Watch the board rotate every few rounds creating a shift in stones

Play against a Friend or against a Computer Player

Thanks for the post!! It's an fun game to play with nice affects!!
[Android Apps and Games] rockstar_7:
Amazing Concept! :D

I'll go try it now..

It's a pretty neat and uniguq game-mechanic. that gravity-twist that you give every four turns (is the time period fixed?). Maybe, you could randomize it and pump up the AI to make it more challenging.

Nice Game, though!

Good Work!
[Android Apps and Games] souljah2k:
Thanks guys for your feedback :D

No its not fixed, you can change it in the Settings.

We definetly will do that in coming updates.

Also we going to implement an Online Multiplayer as soon as we have enough players. So spread the word!
[Android Apps and Games] Tricky-Design:
Very fun game to kill some time with. Unique version of 4 in a row!

Works great on my Creative ZiiO 7, so well programmed. A lot of apps don't work with 480x800 MDPI screen properly. Great job!!

Hey Folks, new Update is out again

this time we added more AI-Levels to the game to make it a little bit more challenging.

Also we added a Poll about a question concerning the multiplayer.

You can also always comment here about that.

Very nice game. It's a great time killer :)
[Android Apps and Games] souljah2k:
does the android market tell you that? because we already tested Gravity Wins on a HD2. We are not really sure how we can tell the market that it should allow the installation on any device, because the engine can scale on any screen.

If you like I can send you the APK directly. Just PM me

please help

he eh 9000b

ever thought about playing it up the wall ....

more excuses for my english

[Droid 2 General] flashesbuck:
Why would someone need to download this, shouldn't everyone be able to update over the air.

FYI really like 2.3 runs very nice on droid2
[Droid 2 General] gentlemandroid:
To answer your question, I would. I recently left verizon and now I cannot get the OTA update. I still use my Droid 2 for android development. I just don't use it for a phone.

That said. I can't use the above update. I SBFed my phone back to stock Froyo System version 2.3.20, installed z4root to load clockworkmod Droid 2 recovery, and finally attempted to flash the above file from the SD card. I get the following error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "cdma_droid2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "cdma_droid2"

blah blah blah

(Status 7)

From the failed assertions I'm assuming this update doesn't recognize my phone as a Droid 2 and refuses to install the update. Does anyone know why that might be? Like I said I restored to stock before attempting this.
[Droid 2 General] gentlemandroid:
Wait a second. The file linked is called Blur_Version.2.3.20.A955.Verizon. That's the stock Froyo version. Is it called that because you need to be on that version or is this just an older file? I'm confused. Is this or isn't this the just released Gingerbread update?
[Droid 2 General] idefiler6:
It's an oddly named file, but the last time I saw that one linked it was the OTA. I still feel one is better off SBFing to stock and downloading it that way.
[Droid 2 General] MOUNTAINMANOCHO:
What's going on, I was following the steps on theunlockr but when I tried to extract the OG firmware my laptop said it was probably damaged, any way I can get the firmware somewhere else? I am running on Fission right now and want to go back to stock so I can scoop this update, it looks pretty nice. Please help me out if you can, thank you.
[Droid 2 General] idefiler6:
If you want to go back to stock to force the update the right way, the above file won't help you.

1. Get RSD Lite http://www.multiupload.com/HL0ZAL9GK8

2. Get Moto Drivers http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7632904/USB_Drivers_bit_4.7.1.zip

3. Get Froyo SBF http://bit.ly/dir7fq

Install the Moto Drivers on your pc, then boot into your bootloader and connect via usb. Then run RSD and load the SBF file. Once you complete that, reboot the phone and go to settings > phone info > check for updates. The new GB should be waiting for you, all official like.
[Droid 2 General] MOUNTAINMANOCHO:
Good looking out fam, will check in when finished!
[Droid 2 General] Heafust:
Despite the odd name it is the correct file. But do not use CWM or bootstrap to flash it! Rename it to update.zip on root of sd card then use Stock recovery to flash it.
[Droid 2 General] gentlemandroid:
You're right it worked! I'm finally gingerbreaded. Thanks so much everyone.
[Droid 2 General] MOUNTAINMANOCHO:
Hello again, so my phone is just stuck on the Droid loading screen (Droid followed by the red symbol) I have no idea what to do although I followed the steps stated above.

**EDIT**

So I was able to fix this problem by wiping the cache as well as my data, thank you all!
