Could you probably provide a modified apk of this? Thanks!

I second this question!

Yeah working on something, I'll post when done.

To get the thread back on track, any more news on cwm?!

[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Follow both hash and p3droid on twitter. There are two recoveries, one for 2nd-init and one for others. P3droid just tweeted that you can't have both installed. Hash's should be in the market tomorrow according to an earlier tweet.
[Motorola Droid 3] ACalcutt:
The hashcode one is the 2nd-init one though right? I haven't seen the other other being talked about.

I like finally being able to make backups... looking forward to some roms :-)
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Disregarding all date speculations, looks like the CWM might land tomorrow after some more tests with a new version - @KShen1

[Motorola Droid 3] `Ghost`:
im new to this so..whats a 2nd-init or others??
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
This is a write up about 2nd-init from Mr. cvpcs himself.

http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-14/2nd-init._what_it_is_and_how_it_works

2nd-init will give us CM7/CM8 and MIUI. ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] `Ghost`:
MIUI the camera app? otherwise no idea what MIUI but i assume CM is cyanogenmod which everyone just absolutely drools over :D

usually i run my phones stick but...this droid 3...it wants to scream and i know it can, the evs have just locked it down so much and slowed it down.

cant wait to see what this phone is really made of

[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
I've just been looking at the source on github - there's a fair bit of activity, and it's still ongoing so don't try using the git source yet.

One commit did have an interesting comment on it though :-

https://github.com/Hashcode/droid3_recovery/commit/41b0c9d6e49f7f38ba626d11ed68f7e1c6ed388a

"saving people from themselves.. dont run the install script on your own....

... There's an APK for that."

So it looks like the install method is going to be pretty simple, when it's ready of course.
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
There is an apk, and nandroid works perfect(restored one myself earlier), but that's basically all that works currently(rom flashing is disabled at the moment). Hang tight a bit longer, it'll be released when its ready.
[Motorola Droid 3] :
Will there be a ROM Manager compatible version too?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltatech:
My galaxy S2 unlocks in my pocket frequently. I only have to walk 10-20 steps and i hear the keyboard typing away in my pocket.

I know about the pattern lock but that is a pain. Does anyone know of any tweaks or anything that will make it less likely to unlock in my pocket?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poch_1421:
are you using a custom rom?

use LeoMar's rom. if i'm not mistaken, there's a app in the rom kitchen which allows you to disable waking up the screen with the home button. this way, only the power key can unlock your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
go into settings,location and security.there you will see "screen unlock settings".Choose whatever option you want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
He doesn't want that. :)

The easiest solution for me was to get a Samsung OEM pouch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltatech:
I looked and it seems the rom kitchen doesn't support the S2 yet.

[Epic 4G General] kaotikevo:
I know I'm not. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Its already September and Gingerbread came out last December on a Samsung phone nonetheless, and we're still on software that's almost a year and a half old with no source code or drivers in sight. We can't even create our own up to date roms, and Samsung is unreliable when it comes to updates. Our phone possibly has the worst development community thanks to Samsung slacking on updates,drivers, and source code. I will never go through this again. Goodbye Samsung forever. Its either a Nexus phone, iPhone or Windows Phone for me from now on, and none by Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
I'm strongly considering it...I certainly like the specs

But in all probability I'm going to jump ship to the iPhone next month. Between the last two phones I've owned (Epic and Palm Pre), I'm getting pretty damn sick of manufacturers who can't develop worth a spit.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
No Epic Touch for me...

Too much money since i only get 75 dollars off...

Plus im waiting for Nexus to come to sprint by january or the next HTC device.

I like my epic still and am done with samsung unless its the nexus..

Ill be here still :D:D
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
what's the difference between this and the nexus s 4g?
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Samsung is getting better I think w/ their newer phones, have way better screens than everyone except LG (which could go either way), and better specs. I'm not getting it though, if I could I would.
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
I love the specs and hardware on the Epic, but I need a phone with development behind it. I love what our devs have been able to do with what they have, but I am going to wait a month til after a phone is out to see how it is going before I jump in.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Google updates, I'm talking about the nexus prime I'm getting that for updates or the next htc samsung takes way to long with there software plus it always is buggy in little ways..
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
oh the thing with ice cream.
[Epic 4G General] dexterboy1106:
I agree

I got the epic in October and it was an awesome. Then after waiting for updates 6 months after everybody got there's on other phones I learned my lesson and now waiting for gingerbread official leak sucks. I want the next nexus phone only because it a true Google phone without the bloatware and seems to get its updates quicker than others. I thought about the epic touch but will hold off for now plus its another dual core phone which i dont think will be put to good use till more dual core phones come out.
[Epic 4G General] yellowxboy:
this is my first Samsung phone... and last. most likely jumping to the iphone later this year. i love android and the specs of our current epic4g is awesome but theres no real development for this.
[Epic 4G General] piscesjoey:
I'm satisfied with my Nexus S at the moment, but give me a fully functional 80mb CM7 or any AOSP zip & I will get it in a instant.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
i what ?

i understand that you hate samsung but ... let me shut up.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
I'm not thrilled about selling out to Apple either but, let's be honest, Samsung's a waste of time. Google is another story...may be worth holding out until the Prime rather than be subsumed by the Apple dark lord.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Can't get it...:(

Still have another year and retail is too expensive
[Epic 4G General] 5FOOTER:
Remember buy a phone for what it is not what its gonna get and how fast. Always gonna be something better next month or so. I just refuse to buy any apple products anymore.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Definitely i would go for the Prime if you didn't like the epics updates ... you won't be disappointed on a nexus device ... and don't even talk about the dev community behind nexus devices ...
[Epic 4G General] insanity213:
If I ever buy another Android phone, it'll have to be a nexus device or something I know has the ability to load AOSP on it myself. Between manufacturer bloat and carrier bloat I'm done with all the crap...
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
I still like my EPIC .... I'd like my next phone to have a physical keyboard .... but I might get this
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
This right here is the reason. I got the Epic 4G the very first day it was available and still have to wait until June if I don't wanna get raped with retail pricing....
[Epic 4G General] resetreflectt:
Just get it at Best Buy when it releases. Best Buy takes $75 upgrades and still lowers it to 199.99. Every single time I upgrade there it ends up 199.99.
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Sticking to my epic till the prime comes out...or the next physical keyboard phone.

sent from my uncyanogen modded epic 4g. with the key skips.
[Epic 4G General] Ceelos09:
Although I'm tempted to jump ship over to the Epic Touch, I'm holding off with my "OG Epic" until maybe the Nexus Prime if not later until the quad core phones start to roll out
[Epic 4G General] njfoses:
Sorry but i find this hard to believe. $75 upgrade comes off the full retail price of the phone. Best buy is not going to sell you the phone for $199 if all you qualify for is $75 off.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Exactly what I was thinking.

I mean, if we're wrong then that'd be great! But I find it hard to believe that they would do that.
[Epic 4G General] resetreflectt:
I mean at least that's what happens to me. Back when the Evo launched, I only had a $75 upgrade and even on the Sprint website it showed my price was gonna be $375, and when I went to Best Buy it ended up $199.99.

Nothing without a physical keyboard for me. I'll wait for it.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I ain't.

Its not worth it coming from the epic or anyof the other gs'

If I had an og evo I would've, but I don't so I wont.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
how many phones on the horizon are actually going to have a physical keyboard?
[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
Isn't the nexus a sammy phone?!?!?!?:rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] surveysays:
if there is anything i have learned from android, it is that buying a new phone with a brand new fresh OS right around the corner is pointless and a waste of time/money ...

[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
I think the sammy insults are aimed at touchwiz phones, not Nexus.

I'm not getting it either, just not worth the extra $75 since I'm only at 1yr right now, and stuck on silver. The Prime might change my mind though.

[Epic 4G General] dead78:
I really should have learned my lesson after the Palm Pre debacle but I purchased the Epic thinking that Samsung couldn't possibly make the same mistakes. Meanwhile, here we are in mid-September and we're still running 2.2. I'd love to try the Epic Touch but how long will it be before Samsung basically pulls the parachute on that device, too?

What worries me is that your estimate of May 2012 for Ice Cream probably isn't late enough.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I'm not leaving. Some devs will, but I don't have the money and even if I did I would rather wait. I gain $ 0 from development because I don't accept donations and plan to keep it that way. I will wait for the manufacturers to all let the creator of the OS do the updates . The ideal future would be every android smartphone using the same chipset and cell radio and only a different modem and kernel. All roms will be universal and there will be a whole lot of development for not just a couple high end phones, for all of them.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
That would be pretty sweet but there would be no competition so manufacterers would never do it..
[Epic 4G General] oducks:
+100 to that

unfortunately as you can see with the newer offerings Apple has messed it up for everyone. Now the focus is just on how 'thin' it can be made. That along with cost saving for manufacturing and I am sure it also lowers returns as its 2 less things to go wrong, the KB and the sliding. I have been really happy with my Epic I was thinking of giving it to my kid and getting something new, but I don't see anything exciting right now. I do have to send it back tho because in using a ROM with the volume increase mod it blew the speaker.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Once GB is released this phone will be better than ever. It still does everything I want it to do and does it well. Keyboard is a definite plus. Patience is a big ally with tech like this. The longer I wait to upgrade the better the choices will be. Epic for at least several more months for me.

[Epic 4G General] kaotikevo:
That's not confirmed yet. We've heard of a phone codenamed Prime from Samsung, but it could very well be a Droid phone on Verizon instead of a Nexus phone. The next Nexus could be a Motorola or LG phone for all we know. I've heard rumblings that Ice Cream Sandwich will debut with a TI OMAP chip. I've never seen Samsung use a TI chip. Only LG and Motorola, so my assumption holds a little weight, but Samsung could break out of their mold for the next Nexus .

[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
My next phone will be the Prime or whatever they decide to call it. As much as I dislike Samsung after this Epic fiasco (hey at least they named it so you can make great puns), I'm confident that with Google at the wheel for software they can't screw things up too badly.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
Dam that sucks samsung burned us on the epic. and anyone who had one last year knows (GPS) I will NOT buy there junk untill i see them change there ways. and thats going to mean a few years of them updating TVs Phones etc...

I dont need a bleeding edge phone if its from samsuck. I would rather spend the money on tires, turbos, or TVs
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
not nearly enough. Sprint will have at least four 4" + slates. Evo3d, Epic Touch, Moto Photon and the new LG coming. WTF? And all we get is a Palm like incremental upgrade in the Epic? If I do switch to T-mobile I'll be buying the Milestone 3 from Canada in a heartbeat. Moto is the only company to come close to getting it right for this generation. And the Droid 3 is the only one Verizon needs. No other new slider on the market is worth a damn and that includes the 4g slide which I have.

I use my Epic more than I use my tablets because it's just easier to work in DTG than it is on a tablet with no real keyboard. It may be small, but I maneuver around that keyboard now with ease. Would never get a slate phone as my daily driver.
[Epic 4G General] Zor Omega:
My thoughts exactly. While the bigger screen and battery is cool. The software that will actually be able to take advantage of those fancy dual core won't be coming to the GSII till probably Feb or May. I'm good for now, until the next nexus phone comes to sprint.

[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
The devs sure are being quiet on this topic...
[Epic 4G General] iil:
I'd love to but I've been really happy with my Epic since the last upgrade.

So...I'll probably wait for whatever comes out once my renewal credit hits last next year because I don't want to spend the $$ to replace something I'm overall happy with now.

Epic development may be lacking (i really don't know), but I don't see it being such a big deal as my last phones (all winmo) since this one has been running so well for me pretty much stock.

I plan on checking it out in the store once its released...Can't say I've ever done that for a phone I'm not planning buying. Say what you will about sammy...I think they have some of the best looking phones.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Apparently the epic 4g is slower that the T-Mobile version and almost too big with the 4.5inch screen.

The nexus prime is rumered to have an even bigger screen. What happened to using a phone in one hand?

I could upgrade myself but I'm waiting for something better.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:

and with the thinness and specs on that thing ... I can't pass that up. Screw the nexus I wants that touch now.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
At least for Gingerbread anyway. I would rather keep my Epic, get a Galaxy Tab Wifi and use it with the hotspot on the Epic. There should be a new keyboard slider like the Epic somewhere on the horizon.

[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
Yes the screen is larger, however in ICS, they have done away with the four buttons below the screen allowing for a larger display in the same form factor.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
I REALLY want this phone. I think the 4.5 inch is perfect! Its not as big some are imagining it to be. I remember reading samsung will also release icecream for the S2 when it releases. But my upgrade doesn't come until next october, so I'm looking for a quadcore, 720p OLED screen, 16hour battery on heavy usage, LTE phone :rolleyes:

I jumped from a windows phone to an iPhone but gave it up because AT&T sucks balls in Colorado. I could not make a call more than 5 minutes w/o a drop. Now that the iPhone is coming to Sprint, I'm tempted to go back. I miss having all my music with me, etc....

I'm not getting the 4G Touch either, unless we find out that Sprint either isn't get the next Nexus, or it won't be until next year. Even if it is next year, more than likely I'll wait because once we do finally get GB, I think this phone will get better. Or at least I'll have something to mess around with all over again.

I've been upgrade eligible since around April but have held off since I just got the Epic last fall around August and bought it off contract (craigslist FTW). 0% chance I'll get an iPhone, so the Nexus is calling my name. If that doesn't come to Sprint, who knows...maybe I'll hold off even more (doubtful) and wait until next year's crop of phones.

I jumped to the Photon on Monday. I doubt I'll get the SGS2, just too jaded by Samsung to give them more money. If this Samsung device does well with updates and service, then I will consider them for the next one.

But in the mean time, I have my AMOLED screen on my Photon with a dual core that supposedly scales better with overclocking and undervolting than the exynos chip does. Sprints version of the SGS2 doesn't have NFC, so I am not really missing anything.

Honestly i don't like having my music on my phone but rather on my ipod touch.

I will never buy an iphone as i have an ipod touch and is the exact thing as an ipad,iphone and any other itouch device. Plus its boring to customize even with it jailbroken.

I use my phone for modding, apps, FLASH!!!

I use iphone for apps also but only the ones that arent on android and love the organizing of files and look of music plus it holds 64gb where as my phone can only do up to 32gb memory card and thats also cluttered with apps, files etc.

IMO you need to have only 1 iproduct not and iphone and an android phone. :D:D

[Epic 4G General] Silent25r:
I don't even care in the slightest about Samsung not getting 2.3 out fastest enough. I did care about 2.2 and they got that to me. A little late... but still managed it. GPS was fixable, wasn't prefect but it was close to it. Data randomly dropping seemed to be the Sprint network in my area. I seen it htc and lg.

I promised I would never get another Samsung phone. I'm going to break that promise because of two other promises. I hate the build quality of HTC phones so I can't get one of those. HTC does get out the updates but software wise it isn't all roses over there either. Motorola I considered them and then they locked the bootloaders... and now google has brought them and google has this bad habbit of not using the things they buy. I wasn't impressed with anything motorola since the old droid.

This is what makes AOSP roms that much better.
