[HTC EVO 3D] thermbug:
My feel for the vaelpak rom is that 'it just works.' My desire to tweak it was minimal. I preferred it to myn or mik on my OG evo. His work is underrated. The VP app is nice for a spareparts+ feel and his forums have some dedicated fans. Quick answers from the dev. I did ultimately succumb to cm7 on my OG Evo but loading vp on my 3d somehow felt like coming home.
[HTC EVO 3D] todah09:
Jim. Is tje shiznit?...
[HTC EVO 3D] mildlydisturbed:
RC2 is out now also...

As for VP - it works, and when it breaks it's fixed pretty darn fast. Forum support is mad insane compared to most places.
[HTC EVO 3D] dwntwnall4u:
Very nice ROM. So fast and smooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
I'm coming from the evo side of the market, and i really like the synergy, virus roms,.... Especially the eternity tom on the 3d

Any idea if the team is planning on making roms for the epic? Or are they strictly htc fans?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mexipino:
virus roms rule!!!

dude virus rocks!!! i was using his roms when i had my evo 4g i even donated!! synergy is sick i do hope they come over and do great stuff over here!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gilbot:
I've noticed that development for this device is alot slower, if you will, compared to the Evo and Evo 3D. I'm glad to see lithid here tho, looking forward to him bringing either AOSP or CM7 to the ET4G. I must say using Touchwiz is much better than Sense (not a sense fan), so this makes waiting easier.

I would take any Rom to play with at this point tho. There's like only 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
probably a good idea to just pm the devs and ask them that sort of cancels the guess work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Actually, I don't agree; the e3d took about a month to get permanent root; this device was rooted a few days after release..

Now, the release of lots of custom roms is slower than the e3d, but I am sure 30 days from now, this will be corrected.

Sending some emails to your favorite devs asking them to develop for this is probably a good idea too!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
Actually, I dont agree :D

After the evo 3d was unlocked that same day the forum filled with roms. So you have to take into account the time that the evo 3d was ABLE to flash roms and count from there to compare not go from the day it was released. There were no roms for the evo for like a month because there was no s-off and no way to flash roms hence development was slow. But the day revolutionary was released there was at least 10 roms posted in the first 48 hours after. With our epic touch we were able to flash a couple of days after launch. So in comparison we have a lot less roms for the amount of time we were able flash compared to the # roms the evo 3d had in the same amount of time after it was able to flash roms.

I do agree development seems slower. I think another reason why it may be is because a lot of people used their upgrades to upgrade to the evo 3d and cant make the switch yet because it would just be too costly. But once we see the price drop and/or used units going for sale on ebay and CL this will make the device more available to devs who want the phone but right at this moment it's not feasible to get the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I agree with u. The evo3d was a lot harder to find root. This phone was not. I hope more developers get this phone. I came from the epic and we didn't have a lot of developers. They were awesome though. Hopefully it picks up.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
out of curiosity, how quickly was a stock rom available for the Evo3D?

I'm the type of person that doesn't make any changes unless I can revert back, I didn't root until the stock kernel was available.

also I think that part of the reason development may be a bit slower is that this phone is so much better stock than anything else stock.

Stock + root on this thing is already better (IMO) than any other phone with any other rom.

AOSP and CM7 will be the first roms to be really worthwhile.

On a side note, I'm also a huge fan of Virus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I think a stock rom was available a day or so after the evo3d was rooted; its hard to remember, because things happened so fast after root with that phone.

Good point about how awe sum this phone is with out root; I was going to root it the first day, but, frankly, after reading all the little quirks people were having initially after rooting, and, the lack or really interesting roms or cm7 right now, I have chosen to wait as well

Lets hope Virus/Myn/Leosright, and Aanikam, and some of the other folks with E3D's get their hands on this phone, or, at least decide to do some roms for it...

No disrespect to the folks that have made the currently available roms/kernels..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
I want to say that the official RUU was out before the evo was unlocked but I'm not 100% sure so dont quote me on that. The day my evo 3d was delivered was the day revolutionary was released. So we have been able to flash stuff for about 2 weeks now. In the first two weeks after the evo was unlocked and able to flash there was tons of roms and tweaks (only a few kernels though). So in the first two weeks both phones were flashable there was considerably more development on the evo 3d. I do hope it picks up though :) I'm waiting for cm 7 so I hope someone from CM picks this phone up so we can get a CM 7 build, if not I'm running it stock until then with adw ex :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2fastkuztoms:
It's slower, but this phone is fast enough to stay on stock rooted rom for a while.... People are waiting for CM7, i'm waiting for MIUI..

Do hope this eventually picks up more, but the phones silll a beast
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Storm T:
I think everyone got stuck with the 3D and can't upgrade. It'll pick up eventually. I just want a good stable kernel. This thing runs good but my 3D is quicker at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Really? 3D is faster?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Storm T:
Mine is, running several different roms. I still have both and it's very noticeable but I am on the stock kernel still. I have no doubts this one will be faster once it's dug into a bit more. While the Samsung gets a better Quad the HTC is much more snappy/peppy.

I haven't tried Zedo's kernel yet though so not sure if it's making a speed difference. There are issues he is still working on with that one. I'm waiting for that one to get all fixed up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Econ212:
It wouldn't hurt to take into account that this phone is just a mere 2 weeks old and a lot of people are still waiting to receive theirs as they are in a backorder queue. When the 30 days is up, we'll have a better idea how the development will be. It takes time to get developers to a phone, you can't expect them to run straight to Sprint and buy the phone on release day.

It's also worth taking into account that the Evo 3d was the first actually upgraded Hardware platform that had been released with Sprint in almost a year. In that respect the evo 3d had an advantage as their were a lot of users ready to jump ship to a new phone.

It's too bad that Samsprint couldn't get this phone out sooner to be on par with the evo 3d launch. That would have been a site worth seeing and I dont think you would see such heavy development for the 3d, expecially since it shipped with a locked bootloader.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Bue:
Hi

I want to extend the timeout for security lock screen.

From 10 min to maybe 10 hours.

I use password on lockscreen and don't want to type in the password

many times a day.

I just try "Delayed lock" , but it don't work on my SGS 2 with android 2.3.5

Any other programs that can extend the timeout ??

Or can I do some change in a system file to extend it ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
I'm interested in this too. I am getting fed up with having to type a password after every time my screen switches off (which is currently set to 1min to save battery). Ideally I would like to have a setting for the screen to turn off and a separate setting to enforce the lock, e.g. screen turns off after 1min but does not lock until maybe 10mins (or what ever the user sets) later.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Can you clarify what the app really did?

First the "SGS secret code" app doesn't exist. There is "SGS secret codes". Is that the app you used? This just provides short cuts to entering special codes via the dialler.

Have you permanently disabled the lock screen asking for a password / code? I don't understand how it works from your brief description.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Bue:
Yes. it's "SGS secret codes"

It's disable the screenlock. The screen will never get lock. Even with password or pattern installed for the screenlock.

The screenlock will never get activ. If the screen are turn-off and you push the home

button, the screen just turn-on, with no asking for password or pattern.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Thanks for clarifying but maybe I'm missing something here.

So basically this circumvents the screen lock password / code. Why not just disable the screenlock password / code from the settings?

The point of having the password if for security so I'm not entirely comfortable with disabling it altogether. I just want the time-out for the actual password lock to be independently configurable from the screen time-out. So for example screen shuts off after one minute but the lock doesn't actually lock for another 10 mins.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Bue:
I understand you asking about this.

The reason is that I use a program that requires is a screenlock with a minimum of 8 characters with both numbers and letters.

Every time I start this program, it go out and see if there is activated a screenlock

with 8 character, otherwise program does not start.

This way I keep the safety screenlock, but it will just never be activated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
OK I see. Unfortunately your solution doesn't help me. Oh well I'll keep looking...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BriEE:
I"m seriously annoyed at the fact most of the sense roms or hybrid sense 2.0 + 3, 3.5 whatever, seems super laggy. Maybe it's this phone but for now I have to use this and it just is not acceptable.

Plus my limit number of ROMS due to AOSP not fixing up the voicemail bug with Rogers/Bell voicemail notification not showing up.

So far there is only virtuous G lite that works with VM notification and is AOSP and NOT laggy.

So can someone suggest me a good fast rom, I don't really care about features much, just something fast and doesn't lag 1 second everytime I try to scroll the homescreen or status bar.

I don't know what other people are doing to use those sense roms or maybe they have super patience to deal with the lag.

Pyromod is the fastest rom that I have tried yet. I'm using xboarder's rom now and I am very pleased. CM7 is pretty smooth too but the above two I listed smoke CM7 in my opinion. I gave up on sense, too much flashy stuff that gets old when you just want to be productive. O also look at miui, I was very pleased with that too as far as speed.

I'm just curious but since ICS is coming, what does that mean for us? All I've heard is another UI overhaul for phones to give them more honeycomb, but what do we get? If Hardware Acceleration is in then I would be happy, but there doesn't seem to be anything in it for us tablet users.

Unless I'm missing something.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenfly:
Not sure what the link was for...... Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Sorry. But I'm just not sure if I would be excited about ics on my Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
Imma say that it will be on the original Xoom's without a doubt. I read in an article that ICS will be able to run on older devices, thus it's almost a guarantee the Xoom will see it officially. Annnnd for some reason it does not... have no fear, as the devs will be here to solve that problem! The OG Droid was left out of the update loop awhile back because newer models replaced it, but we still have the most current updates on it thanks to the brilliant devs. Just gotta have some faith in your XDA community, and they will figure something out. :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psychokitty:
But again, I think the OP wants to know (...like I also do) what's the big improvement gonna be?

As I stated on another recent post, the big deal for me as I see it is that (presumably) the SC for HC will be released and then the ROM goodness will follow. But if it's anything like what happened with Froyo, etc, the Honeycomb custom ROMs will kick the stock Icecream Sandwichs' ass.

-No?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenfly:
Thanks for being the only reply actually related to my post, but Google had stated a long time ago that the SC for hc will never be released as the SC for ics will be released instead. But since phones will get more hc goodness, what do we get?(which is the main question in the topic)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrtoodeetoo:
I think at this point, it's a wait-and-see kind of thing.

But I think finally having the source code is the biggest news here. I think it will be the dawning of a golden age for the XOOM, so to speak.

Also, one advantage to the phone side getting lumped in to the same OS is that we will see a boost in apps that are tablet optimized since the devs will be able to work all of it into one .apk instead of focusing on two separate projects.

These are the two things I'm personally looking forward to the most as far as the tablet side goes.

Of course, it would be nice to be surprised, too.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Well, I think, since ICS will be open source, we will get additional development for the Xoom, beyond the wonderful feature additions and enhancements we have gotten with the limited HC.

Don't you think so?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scsa20:
From my understanding, Ice Cream Sandwich is an over haul for phones to bring out an honeycomb interface while allowing for tablet support as well and it will be more controlled by the king them self, Google.

What this means? All android devices will now be updated at the same time as it'll be more tightly integrated which means developers will need to start just making widgets for there own devices instead of a completely different interfaces like they do today. In a way, it'll be exactly what Honeycomb tablets are today (if you look at all the honeycomb tablets that's out, the interface is the same, only differences is that others will have widgets and/or wallpapers designed just for there tablets (i.e., samsung has the touchwiz) but can be upgraded all the same).

This is supposed to be more more uniform support and faster updates.

Will this go into effect right away? Probably not since the manufacturers will still need to make to update go through but we should also expect to see faster updates as well (there's still a lot of users out there still waiting on Gingerbread releases for there devices so with this making it more uniformed should allow for faster releases).

This is only from what I've heard, though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balldontlie:
This is from a PC World article this morning:

Although Google has kept its cards close to its vest about ICS, a number of things have been reported about it.

Widgets will be richer and resizable, as they are in the tablet version of Android.

More multitasking will be added to the system and the OS will be open source.

The system will be tailored to take advantage of devices that use the Texas Instrument's OMAP chip.

As with any Android upgrade, what Android devices will be eligible for the new system will remain with the manufacturers, but two good bets for the upgraded OS are the Samsung Nexus S and the Motorola Xoom.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
I think it is important to understand one thing about ICS. It is intended to reunify the OS on all device types (like iOS). What this means for tablet (and conversely smartphone) users is that app development will improve and we will get better apps. These apps will make it easier to share functions between your tablet and your smartphone.

We would have found out more next Tuesday, but the announcements for ICS have been postponed. The postponement was for a good reason though. We still don't know what the reschedule date will be, other than sometime this month.

Best way is to remove those apps through Titanium Back up. Make sure you back it up first just in case. Then when you know you really do not need the apps, then you can delete those backup files. ;):D

They track it at the network level now. I wouldn't suggest doing it, or you will lose your unlimited plan, and they won't give you the option to go back. I already got a notice myself, and I used maybe 200mb tethering. It technically is against the contract to tether with the unlimited plan, so they're only protecting their rights, but it does suck.

thnx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 19android:
I think you need Titanium Backup to delete/find it....at least it seems easy to locate and then delete it you use TB.

I have the file located but have not deleted it. Just want to confirm this is a vialble option to tether without paying and possibly avoiding AT$T finding out?

BTW....the free version of TB is all you need to find and delete the file along with other bloatwear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
It is in the same directory where all the apks are located (system/apps ?). You don't have to use the titanium backup if you know the exact file name of the apk.

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

There is no way to avoid AT&T find out you're tethering regadless how you do it. If you use a lot of data, AT&T will packet sniff you and find out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] switters1:
How is this possible?

I frequently browse websites on my phone with the browser agent set as PC (many sites display better b/c their mobile sites suck)

I run a bit torrent client on my phone to download the TV shows I like.

I frequently download large amounts of data from FTP servers.

Is it possible that att can mistake some of these activities for tethering? Eg might they think that only PCs do these things?

When I decide to tether, is there any way to "sanitize" the traffic?

If they accuse me of tethering, is there any recourse? Can I challenge the claim or ask for their proof?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Yes, AT&T can mistake you for tethering. There are already a lot of threads here discussing exactly that. Do a search.

AT&T also starts throttling top 5% data users. So, even if you don't tethering, if you keep doing what you are doing, you will get throttled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonGarrett:
