Sorry to sound so dim but can someone please confirm:

"[ROM] ME863 Rom v60.2.220" is a chinese language ROM released outside mainland China (eg Taiwan and Hong Kong)

If so does it have the full Android functionality including Google Play and Gmail Apps?

I just bought an ME863 in mainland China but it doesn't have any Google Apps, just a bunch of crippled and China specific stuff. I want Chinese, but I want the full Android experiance, so I might have to flash this ROM onto my brand new hardware.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0rkster:
I am currently on the SS-10 Miui rom for the vibrant. I was wondering if I am able to back my current state and flash a 2.2 Froyo rom without any problems. If I were to backup both, would I be able to go between each backups without any hiccups? Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
Miui comes with a back up app made specifically for backing up miui.

And to answer your main question ....absolutely NOT....wont happen,can't do it.

But you can try what you like....I see odin in your near future
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyb421:
When coming from MIUI you have to odin back to stock before flashing a froyo rom. And restoring backups between those two aren't possible anyways because rom manager backups don't include the kernel or the modem.

my phone is stuck in blue screen after i flash my phone naa kernel!!! what can i do now! pls help me!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] diniulian:
Try to flash with SE update service, or flash with flashtool ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] flex96:
flashing with SEUS would not help

you HAVE to flash with the flashtool because SEUS wouldn't flash the loader and the kernel

so your phone would be still bricked
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Praseodyme:
My advice is that each time i got a problem, il reflash everything like firmware, kernel and stock rom wirh seus finally. You should try this and say what happens ;)

thanks for the advise,,but can you give me the right link of the flashtool that have the right kernel for my phone(x10 mini).thanks again

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XuperLugia:
Hi there,

yesterday I had to manually update Adobe Flash for using it along Opera Browser since for stine reason it wasn't working with the stock Flash player included in the system.

Surprisingly Market was showing it as an update when I searched for it, but it wasn't notifying me for the update for some reason, and the same happens for SuperUser, when I search for it its shown like an update, but it isn't notified as one.

Its there any way to force Market to update the apps contained in /system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
1. Go to Market

2. Go to My Apps

3. Tick: allow autoamtic updates on the apk's you want.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XuperLugia:
That's the problem, apps like Adobe Flash or SuperUser aren't listed in the "My Apps" section of Market and until I do manually search for those apps I don't know if there are updates or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Have you tried titanium backup? I think market doctor from main menu may help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Its possible, then apply advice from above post.

If still will not work, then you have to go to each app individually.

For example, whn you will manually go to superuser on market, you shall still see options 9if no update is available): Open, uninstalll, and below: allow automated updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinx02:
If these apps are not listed in "My Apps" you have to install them one time manually from the android market than they will be there in "My Apps" and you will get the update notifications..

If you install apps from other sources and not via market, they wont get listed in "My Apps" and you wont get update-notifications..

LOL I'm the opposite of OP right now. All my apps that are waiting to be upgraded would be infected with Airpush spam if I decided to upgrade them in the market... :(

yea, since it says 2.3.4 im not sure how true the article is. also i cant really find any announcement from at&t about it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
No credible sources anywhere in the article.

AT&T's last press release stated that they would roll out Gingerbread updates to all Android devices released in 2011, plus to the Captivate, "starting in" July. Which means that only one device needed to receive an update in July for the press release to be true. (I Think that was the Atrix?)

And as others said, all of the leaks have been 2.3.5.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vikramdhani:
I am sure god knows when it will be coming since even AT&T does not know what the hell they are doing sitting on it till now

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
My take on it is they are in the process of releasing it but are working to correct some of the glaring issues we see now using the Rodgers rom. I don't think they want to release something that is just going to Bork up everyone's phones so they will wait until it is right as well they should. I would rather wait till it is perfect then to have them release something that isn't ready for primetime. Then the devs will have a good canvas to work from. Your mileage may vary.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danthepan124:
When you try to flash cwm recovery image through Rom manager, it should give you 3 or 2 options, choose ion/mytouch 3g

If you've already done that, reflash and then from Rom manager reboot into recovery to test, if that doesn't work, try amonras recovery image

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
The Only thing I can seem to tell so far is it seems to be nowhere in the actual firmware. Clearly it is in the pure Galaxy S II Firmware and Possibly Sprints (don't have access to one to check) which means custom roms could have it readded if we get a spliced together or purer International ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] W37V:
Stupid AT&T. I guess I will have to return this phone and get international version of the SGSII. International version looks better anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
I wouldn't do that myself, I'll just install a ROM. This way I can still theoretically have my warranty. When you think about it, a $8 USB jig and my own roms is a great option for the device to ensure that I can keep a functional warranty on my device (since the jig resets the counter apparently and makes the unit think there hasn't been a flash of unofficial firmware)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
My thoughts on iOS/iPhone: Yawn
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silver03wrx:
The iPhone is not really for the tech savy. It's basically just an app drawer....that's it. You can't customize it and if your already part of this community, it goes against your very nature.

I have also read that Android users consume more data than iPhone users. I don't have the source though.

Also, I'm a bit miffed by the changes Sprint is making. However, the most important thing to me is rate plan prices. Sprint was bleeding to death and instead of raising prices, they changed some things in the background that really should hurt the majority of us.

This will stop the bleed and they can reinvest the money, hopefully, in the network. So I actually want to thank Sprint for not taking the easy road by raising prices.

I would imagine Sprint will get a crap load of new users that are unhappy with At&t or Verizon but were staying there because they can't live without their iPhone.

This was posted in another thread and i completly agree

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rantatron:
I really want this phone, but sadly it's unlikely that developers will actually support it; this annoys the hell out of me. If you buy a phone in Canada, you're pretty much resigned to extremely late updates (if any) and no dev support due to weird international hardware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
that statement is not accurate

as it really depends on the DEVelopers themselves if they are interested or not in the device

if there are interested DEV, then it will have support, otherwise it will just fall in between the cracks like all other non popular phones.

this phone being a true international Quad x Quad phone it should raise quite a lot of interest
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Developers will one its quadbaand. Which automatically makes it a buy. Qualcomm processors have alot of support. The gpu is able to be overlooked as well. To be honest the only thing that makes the exynos cpu beast is it gpu. They are on par with each other. Even though people say it's opinion super amoled + is a reason developers would buy it. Though it isn't really a price difference between this and the amaze 4g the galaxy 2 is cheaper. Source will be dropped as soon as this phone is released as with all the other variants. HTC doesn't drop source as fast as samsung has been doing recently. I'm getting this phone if I don't like it ill take it back and get the amaze.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
This may be an area where the dumbphones win, but I've only been able to find one app that is just a timer--open the app, you've got a timer--and it's way too cumbersome.

When the app opens, I need to see:

A number pad.

A Next button (for moving from hh/mm/ss).

A Start button.

ETA: Also, number pad input needs to overwrite the current field, not insert.

These features have been available on every dumbphone for over a decade. Can't they be done in Android?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsf:
This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but I use it.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hybrid.stopwatch

It has a stopwatch, too, but remembers which mode you chose and launches in that mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Yeah, I tried that one and it has all the same issues as Kitchen Timer, though it's nicer to look at. Who decided an Android timer would use this cumbersome +/- interface? It's made worse by the fact that once you get a cursor in a field, it inserts rather than overwrites, and won't jump fields.

Ideally, the only actions necessary to set a timer should be open-0-0-7-3-5-start, no navigation, no clicking up and down as if we had a device with two buttons (i.e. a watch).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsf:
Yeah, I looked around for a timer too. This was the easiest to use that I found. I rarely have to change the time on it so for me I launch it and hit go. But if I was constantly changing the value, it would be annoying. Makes you want to go out and write your own!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I'm poking around in App Inventor to see what I can manage--I would be lost writing code from the ground up. I think I should at least be able to come up with something with multiple one-button presets on the starting page, and they can probably be user-programmable, but I don't think App Inventor has the commands to give focus to a numerical text-box (thereby highlighting the contents for replacement and launching the number pad) on app initialization.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootstonian:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I'm actually making progress in App Inventor, but if it comes to naught, I'll PM you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Well, it's not finished and it's not pretty, but it's a timer :)

So far, I can't get the box to grab focus when the app opens, but it's still quicker for entering a new value than the others on the market. The empty red bar will bring up the number pad. Hit hours, mins, or secs to start the timer with the relevant units. Start/Pause work, and if you enter, for instance, "90 + Mins" it will convert it to 1 hour 30 mins. More than two digits in the Hours box will break the UI, but it will count them down :cool:

The preset buttons and persistent notification box don't do anything yet, and it doesn't remember the last value entered if you close the app yet, but the core functionality is there.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7299403/TimerSAUR.apk

ETA: enabled persistent notifications and shake-to-stop.

ETA2: remembers last value entered and whether Persist was checked, made some visual tweaks and added an icon.

ETA3: re-skinned the whole thing and hid the preset buttons for now. I can add features, but I'd call it a complete app, and more functional than anything on the market, for my purposes.

ETA4: I, um, even fixed those script errors that caused FCs if you tried to start a timer with all fields empty. Details.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
D'oh! As far as I can tell, the App Inventor "clock" function pauses if the device is sleeping--not exactly practical for a timer :/

Maybe I'll have another run at it tomorrow.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsf:
Maybe you can save the time that it paused, then calculate how much time has passed when it wakes up and start from there. That won't help much if your time expires while it is sleeping, though. Will App Inventor let you prevent sleeping?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Talking to App Inventor community members, I think the clock provided is just not workable for something like this. Maybe if I'm willing to build a windmill to turn a doorknob, I could figure something out, but I'd probably be better advised to start learning real code if I want to pursue the matter.

Better yet, I could take Rootstonian up on his/her offer :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsf:
Yeah, it shouldn't be too difficult to build. And since you already have some of the GUI worked out, you can just pass that on.

I've built one Android app but it was a while ago so I'm very rusty. But it sounds like it can be done pretty quickly.

Hello, I have a lot of market app that showing an update eventhough it is updated already. Like when I click them there's no update option only open and uninstall. It annoys me so much that's why when I select 'my apps' on the market I have to tap each app to see if there is already a legitimate updates. It is 3.1.6, I'm encountering this even on 3.1.5...

Personally i hate the new market app upgrade.

It shows very few of the apps i actually have installed, therefore i have to manually search each app to find out if there is an update available.

Therefore, i just found it better to keep to uninstall my market update, stick with the old market app and freeze the market updater.

I found the new market app far too slow anyway.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.

I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).

Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).

You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.

otherwise they don't stick.

after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
