[Galaxy S II General] pmpntl:
Anyone recommend a reputable online dealer that has the SGS 2 and at a competitive price?

Amazon and Newegg both have it around $575...

Anywhere else that is as reputable?
[Galaxy S II General] gc3:
I got mine from expansys usa the first week they were out in UK and available in the US, you can save a few bucks and they are reputable in my book (this is my only transaction with them but you can read on your own)
[Galaxy S II General] RMXO:
a lot of us that bought the international SGS2, got it from Expansys-USA.com. worth a look.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
If you buy the phone in the U.S. (from anyone, regardless of what they claim) it'll have no warranty as Samsung considers any product purchased outside its country of intended sale "grey market." Expansys-USA gets around that by sending the phone back to the UK for their U.S. customers should it need repair under warranty. You can also buy from Clove and Hantec in the UK as both ship to the U.S. It's $612 delivered from Clove right now and since it's purchased in the UK it retains the 2-year global warranty.
[Galaxy S II General] kirdroid:
If not worried about warranty, then Amazon is pretty good. Also you can look at mobilecityonline.com from where I bought the white sgs2. You will get the new white sgs2 for $539 after $20 off coupon.

Expansys, my first order with them, but very happy with the transaction. Will use them for Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy S II General] pmpntl:
Does mobilecityonline.com honor the warranty for an SGS II?

Or, is it only Clove and Expansys only?
[Galaxy S II General] jackleung:
I got mine from Expansys USA on June. Pretty quick delivery and no complaint about them.

I got my Sony X1 from Clove UK long time ago. Very good service and fast delivery too.

My friend brought one from Amazon recently but found it's being used (stated as new). So beware on for Amazon seller.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Great options mentioned so far. OP, if you are ok buying the locked AT&T version, it is $550 before taxes without contracts. This phone would probably be better "tuned" for the network, and would come with warranty.

P.S. sorry if my suggestion is too obvious :)
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
No. Technically, the phone bought at Expansys-USA doesn't qualify either. They get around that by shipping it to their branch in the UK should it ever need repair. If they go out of business (unlikely) your warranty would go with them as they're acting as an itermediary. The only way to get an "official" warranty is to buy the product from an authorized reseller in its intended country of sale.
[LG Optimus 3D] Smart.Phone:
Hi Guys,

I have LG-SU760 with T World logo at back and boot screen. I found one bottom search hardware button missing it it from LG 3DO , should we treat it as same as LG 3DO ? and can I install firmware available here on my phone.

Regards
[LG Optimus 3D] adixtra:
I think it's little diferent. Read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1251082.

After flashing O3d firmware internal memory is missing.
[LG Optimus 3D] Smart.Phone:
than Why LG-SU760 is 3D? i think LG has only one 3D phone yet!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] kotaro_14:
It's a special model for one of the Korean carriers. With Android 2.3 it seems. Can you check what

version of Android you're running? 2.2.2 or 2.3?
[LG Optimus 3D] Smart.Phone:
Friend, it is 2.2.2 firmware updated 2 days aga.

So we cant't call its LG-3DO??? and can't apply XDA developer's roms on it?
[LG Optimus 3D] kotaro_14:
I would think that you can, but I am not liable to what happens on your device. I am only saying it might work because the Korean S2 was able to flash the same European roms. It's your choice. There's bound to be a Korean Android forum like XDA, I know one, but forgot it's name.
[LG Optimus 3D] Smart.Phone:
nothing happend to my device yet , but would like to lable my device , what should I call it? and future XDA roms under LG-3DO can be flashed to it or not?
[LG Optimus 3D] gotospeed:
This is South Korea special version, the international version is P920. South Korea version of the difference between 16GB internal memory(P920 is 8G),512RAM dual channel (P920 is the same) ,2GB Phone storage(P920 is 1GB), TDMB and NFC, but TDMB can only be used in South Korea. Only three buttons, no search button. ROM not universal, if flash P920 ROM, memory will become 8 G, can only use "LGMobile update" flash into South Korea original ROM, memory to be back.
[LG Optimus 3D] exceleth:
Whoa.. 2 Gigs of Dual Channel Memory ?? That is absolutely racism :D
[LG Optimus 3D] destroyerpl:
Gotospeed wrote : 512 MB ram, so this is an dual channel memory. 2GB of internal memory into phone.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mundixx:
First of all, i take no credit for this. Thanks to nibras_reeza for this tweak! I've tested this for SGA and I can feel an even better performance boost though i'm already using Grif_07's CM7.1 Kang Beta 2! You can go to the original thread here - Get more RAM and faster responses by disabling verify-bytecode!. I've added some instructions that would be more applicable for Ace.

You'll need:

Terminal Emulator

CWM

Root Explorer or File Expert (or any file manager that has root access)

This tweak will give a performance boost in deodexed ROMs as much as odexing system & data apps. This is an alternative for odexing.

1) Open Terminal Emulator on phone or adb shell from PC and type the following.

su
setprop dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode false
setprop dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags v=n,o=v
reboot recovery

2) Wipe both caches and reboot system

3) Open root explorer, go to /system/ and edit build.prop in R/W mode then add these lines:

dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode = false
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v

If lines starting with dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode or dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags exist already, please modify them as above. Note that there might be two entries for dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags; remove the second one.

4) After saving build.prop, reboot to recovery then wipe both caches again.

5) Reboot system. Done.

To undo this tweak,

Type the following in Teminal Emulator.

su
setprop dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode true
reboot recovery

Then wipe both caches then reboot.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] AlterJack:
Anyone can comment on this tweak? I don't know about it, but it sounds a little bit extreme on the phone :S
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Lovetz:
Just did everything as described. Nothing bad happened. Improvements have not yet seen it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mundixx:
Yup, requires a bit of experience in Android tweaking.. but i can say my phone's definitely faster :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ak1t:
Done, can't see any changes, hope Ill see em soon :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Lovetz:
After the application of this method arises a problem: SGA freezes after extract and reinsert the SD.

Already, four people can attest.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mundixx:
uh oh. i did not try to extract/reinsert SD yet. :(

but can reboot solve the problem?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ak1t:
yeah reboot cures freeze, but only once, next time u extract/reinsert your SD, phone will freeze again, undoing this by using comand from first post, and replacing prop file with original made thing's worse, all apps after rebooting force closed. Reinstalling rom cured all problems. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mundixx:
when you applied the code or restore the build.prop, did you clear both caches? that way, the system rebuilds it and prevents the force closes :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ak1t:
sure I cleared them
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Wave__:
Need Help I don't understand what i should edit for the line "dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v"

actually on my Build.prop it's "dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y"

so do I need to replace by v=n ? o=v ? both ? or need to times dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags with v=n and second one with o=v ? I'm confused :S

can U help me :S

Does anybody know which launcher is cooked into cm7? I thought it was ADWlauncher but it must be highly customized cause the version on the market sucks compared.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Yup. its a tweeked up version of ADW.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Thanks, it makes the market version (even ex) look/feel like crap.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Yup. One of the many benefits of having CyanogenMod.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I dared to go to another ROM, that lasted 5 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
It uses AWD Launcher, but I don't know if it makes the EX version feel like crap because when I first flashed CM7 which was in nightly 124, the menu was real laggy, which made me try out AWD Launcher EX and after that it was running perfectly smooth.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I've had both and imo the paid version should have features the included version has like hiding the background on the main dock or removing the ALL catagory or even swiping side to side to change catagories while in the app drawer. CM7 version has these, ADWlauncher Ex does not (please correct me if I'm wrong).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
I'm on Nightly 154 and everything runs so smooth and fast.

CM7 is only steps from becoming Stable. Nightly 160 will be up tonight which will have A2DP enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
I prefer to get launcher pro because its smoother for me and try to make it look exactly like the froyo launcher that comes with the phone. Does anyone know how to get that launcher on cm7?

Hi, guys.

I have kind of a problem with unlocking of bootloader. Recently I’ve broken USB port of my X8. As i live in small town, there is no any SE official repair centre.

The question: is there any possibility to unlock bootloader of my phone and install custom kernel without USB ( may be with using of card-reader)?

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Still trying to understand why people are even messing with the Bliss stuff. The Runnymede is the full sense 3.5 for high end devices like what we have while the 3.5 for bliss is for the lower end ones.

Just seems like a waste less you really are gun-ho about that bliss rosie.

To each their own I guess....
[HTC EVO 3D] Stalte:
I think we need to have a WTF happened? forum. Because this is starting to be a reoccurring issue and I would like to know what happened or why a project suddenly got shut down. I was also wondering what happened to the bliss port. Thank you OP for starting this here and thank you Armenian6000 for clarifying what happened.
[HTC EVO 3D] Afro Samurai:
Just as long as it get done by someone. Every time I see it, I start following to keep up with the progress and poof it's gone, there was a big blowup in the OG evo section before I got my 3D. I'll just keep looking out for it.

Again what's the big hoopla over the Bliss ports? He bc it seems people don't understand the real deal 3.5 sense for highend phones is what's on the Runnymede and the Bliss is for lower end phones.

Is it the rosie?

Same here. I didn't dl the rom, but i did read the thread... The guy that posted the bliss port a; stated that it was not his work, b; said to thank the og's; c; stated multiple times throughout the thread who to thank.

I think the bliss looks "unique" not for me. Mind you. But I can see the charm in it.

Also. Since it us built for lower ends phones yet contains the same features, essentially... That would easily equate to more raw performance gain for us. I like how that sounds... Nothing wrong with that right?
[HTC EVO 3D] remf4i:
Thank you very much, I did in fact state that it was not my rom, and I thanked them, also I got the rom off another site and changed a few things, I don't understand the big deal the way I look at it is if you don't want people to use your **** then don't post it on the WORLD WIDE WEB FOR THE WORLD!!! , and I also told them many of times in pm's that I was sorry I didn't know that it wasn't a open source anymore, but in fact it is.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Bring that **** back :)
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
So what rule was broke???

Seems like the only thing that was broken was a form of courtisy if that at all.

Long as you post up the credits it shouldn't matter at all. Period. People need to stop getting so bent out of shape over this stuff and relax. Encourage the new guys to dev don't do the opposite, ESP. If they gave credit for work!

Short of someone hacking into a secure server to pull your work you honestly can't get mad if its used in other stuff around here. And to be honest you shouldn't, you should be glad someone valued your work enough to use it, take it as a compliment. Not like they are selling it taking $ from you.
[HTC EVO 3D] wes342:
ok let me clear things up. once and for all.

the rom was originally taken from my team.

a member posted it with out permission.

when confronted about the situation he was disrespectful and was not giving proper credit.

so the rom was removed. a simple im sorry and i will fix credit would have been fine.

note: credit was not given to all people involved even people that are not on my team. that was part of the problem.

then the same rom that was removed pops up again.

this time by the original guys friend.

he did not know where he got the rom from said joelz.

but it was my rom based on joelz original port.

i contacted the person that posted it and asked him to give proper credit in OP to jolez , sac, myself and everyone else involved.

credit was then changed to even less credit for all involved and rude comment " There i changed it" so it was removed again.

im not an admin or mod but if removed obviously they were in the wrong or it would still be up.

its simple just ask permission first. if you post with out asking permission simply apologize and ask what you can do to keep up the rom. my team and most devs will just say its fine. but if you are rude about the whole thing then thats not ok.

after all this i still gave the original guy permission to post it anywhere else he wanted and helped him fix a few more things.

This is the reason that we have lost a lot of really great devs.

Too much disrespect.

just to name a few.

Skyraider, incredibledoes ect...

people have to remember that devs do all this for the little appreciation and donations they receive and the love for android. but the disrespect is making so devs dont enjoy it anymore.

if things keep up there will be no more devs left. food for thought.

anyway it should be up tonight.

tomorrow at the latest.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Not only the fact that they took it. its the disrespect after the fact.

anyone can use our stuff and we always share. but permission and appreciation needs to be asked.

ask around if you still think we are being jackasses

joelz, myn, jaywan ect... we always share.
[HTC EVO 3D] remf4i:
Again I did say I'm sorry I don't know haw many times and I did thank you for all your work and one more thing do you contact HTC every time you take their work and ask permission? No, you don't because it's a open source, but again if I did not give proper credit I am sorry and thank you to ALL devs for all your hard work in all roms, I want no credit I said that many times in the post, it all goes to you guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Not trying to be a **** here but whatrule did he break?

It is a **** move to do what you describe and take someone else's work and not give credit but in reality that happens all the time and it'd likely be better if the devs just be the bigger person in the matter as the users know the devs to go to and donate and download the roms.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:

see my point little comments about

"one more thing do you contact HTC every time you take their work and ask permission? No, you don't because it's a open source"

thats the disrespect im talking about.

you can say thank you 1000 times but its meaningless followed by a rude or snide comment.

if im the only one that thinks devs should be respected

and there work taken without proper credit.

contact xda and ask them to remove that from the rules .

and have them ban me.

its just common sense thats how things should be.

the only reason im responding to all this is because

if people dont get called out for it. thats all that is going to happen.

ok first there really is no point in posting a rom with rosie change its kinda dumb and disrespectful since they didnt ask for permission second i will post a flashable.zip that will give you the bliss look.....guess what its only two apks :0 no need to post a new rom for it ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
does anybody know of a way of converting cwm update.zip files into a fastboot flashable content.

if it makes any difference, i am mainly interested in doing this for my xperia play and then supporting users wanting to try a new custom rom with minimal human input on their behalf (because of fear of creating their own new expensive paper weights).

the only thing i can think of, is flashing the zip, and then making a backup and then distributing the .img's to the user. i'd rather not do this if possible, as i'd like to allow the developer who created the rom keep the download count from their own download source. though it may be a possibilty if i first consult the dev.

any input would be very muchly appreciated!! thank you all!

This just started today but my 3G signal is sporatic going from 3G to 1X. Anybody experiencing this? My signal even drops completely.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schu9120:
Let me guess...

You are on an MTD ROM like MIUI CM7, (or some variation of CM7)...

The 3G data dropping out is a problem that comes and goes on many people's phones that can usually be temporarily fixed by toggling Airplane mode or a reboot.

There is no known fix at this time :(

But... if you are not on an MTD Rom, then disregard my reply

It's also a known fact that the Fascinate has a terrible radio chip. Whether on MTD, modified TouchWiz ROMs or stock, my signal constantly goes from 3G to 1x. Hopefully my wife(Nexus Prime) won't do that.
