[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
The one I attached does not have the messaging apk, I took it out for that reason. Give it a try. I would download and use a different launcher while you install the new one just to be safe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amandureja:
Thank you for the help, but once again, I just get an FC. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! :S

Could it be that when I rename the file, I still keep the extension? The stock tw launcher is laggy, and I honestly don't like it when I see the lag on such an amazing phone.

Anyone got any ideas?

I would like to root my HTC Sensation in order to overclock it. But, I want to be able to get OTA updates.

I do not need to install custom ROM's.

Is this possible?

thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Jerald2:
If you want to overclock you only need to flash a different kernal you can keep the stock ROM.

I'm not sure if having a non stock kernal will mess with the OTA updates or not.
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
I think he'll still need to root in order to flash a kernel, right?

And you should be able to receive OTA updates if ur using the stock ROM, but I'm not 100% sure. But one things for sure, u can root ur device and still run the stock ROM.

[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Flashing a new kernel will **** up OTA as new kernels are installed with the OTA. It's always said not to accept OTAs when rooted to be on the safe side
[HTC Sensation] xyqtt:
You have a very big chance that ota updates will be here earlier then you would recieve them. Every update leaks.
[HTC Sensation] taxus13:
If you are rooting your device to flash different kernel, you need to get S-OFF and recovery like CWM. Then it is NOT possible to get OTAs, as it shows the "bricked" Symbol if the device tries to install it.

But after a reboot everything ist just normal.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] SnakeFist:
Does anyone know how to get the boot up sound to work for the boot up animation?

I'm using a zip file with the desc.txt file in the zip along with s and the name of the sound after the s along with the .ogg so like it will be in the desc file s bootup sound.ogg.

I have tryed to put the sound in /data/local i have tryed putting it in /system/media and i also tryed putting the sound file in /data/flex/bootanimation no luck the animation plays but no sound. For kicks i even put the sound file in the zip it self just to see if it would work from inside the zip like the pics do to make the animation i know it wouldn't work but i did that just to see as a last resort. It wont play the sound.

I'm using openzio v2.1.2 and am stuck on how to get the sound to work with the bootup animation. I believe my desc.txt file is right as it works to resize the pics and the frame rate.

i have attached my desc.txt file to see if it is right, i have read if you have 2 folders and want the sound to play with the first set of pics then the cmd has to be between the 2 part folders.

I ask A question and instead of giving me decent answer i get some bull crap about this forum dying while others who ask a question get a intelligent answer that helps them if you don't know the answer dont bother reply with some bull crap. I try to help out and this is the thanks i get well no more no matter where i will never help anyone.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
With that attitude I won't bother helping you unless you change your attitude. I was looking into this issue after I made that post earlier. Now, I've looked at your desc.text file and it looks fine to me but then again idk. I'll look around some custom animations to see how they have sound working.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] SnakeFist:
yea sorry i was having a very bad day yesterday and it wasn't right for me to do that so i apologize for that. i have looked at others and even used others lines cut and pasted it into mine desc file and still no go. so i do apologize for that once again.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
It's okay, I wonder how the FLEX animation has sound...

Hello I'm new to Android and my friend is letting me borrow his spare Xperia play. One problem, he has an experimental os or something along those lines installed, and to get the full Android experience I want to use the stock OS. He said all I need to do is flash it back to the stock OS however I am a noob when it comes to Android and have no idea how to go about this. Please any help would be greatly apreciated, thanks.

It's actually me that let him borrow it, and it's an R800X. I regret to say that I will actually be too busy this weekend to help him, but I can provide you with details. It's an R800x, it's not activated on Verizon, and if I remember correctly it's running Version 23? of FreeXperia CM7. As you guessed, the bootloader is fully unlocked, and if something goes wrong I have the knowledge(mostly) on how to fix it. So, my XDA brethren, help this poor soul who has lost his way on iOS!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] droiduser:
Yet another huawei phone that im sure will never get the next Android update

and support will be non-existent after a couple of months of sales

From engadget...

Huawei's four-inch flagship has appeared at a rigorous FCC screening, and this one comes with several radio band changes since its formal reveal. This new CDMA 800/1700(AWS)/1900 variant, making it through the Commission as the M886, indicates the Honor will be making a showing in the US on Cricket as the Huawei Glory. You can expect to see the Gingerbread-running device come with a 4-inch FWVGA (854 x 480) screen, a 1.4GHz single-core CPU, 512MB of RAM, a sizable 1,900mAh battery, an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing cam.

After having such a long time with a U8800 and no offical updates to 2.3 but continued promises from non-existant huawei tech support, upgrading to the new Samsung Nexus/Galaxy Prime as soon as its out as the specs for it just kick ass on anything else out there,

At least the Samsung will come with the latest OS and im sure the updates will be much quicker than anything huawaitforanupdate... could ever come up with
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
You bet Samsung or any other manufacturer will provide updates. Just changed to HTC Inc S and received 2 OTA updates in the last few days. Next to come is Sense 3.0 :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
and probably one of them is to deal with the news-mentioned bug in HTC's own software when collecting user's information and storing them non-securely.. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
I've heard about that, but at least HTC cares about that and what users think... God knows what happens on the Huawei phones... ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
that makes me think of the linux-windows analogue..

with linux (huawei?) u r on ur own.. u can make the best of it, and u can also live in hell with it..

with windows (htc? samsung? etc?) u r well taken care of, and can live happily ever and after.. :)

[edit]

btw, did u realise that by buying a htc or samsung phone, u r also contributing to the m$ empire's wealth and health?

anyway, not that many ppl care about that i guess..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
I think they promised ICS for Honor (probably like 2.3 was promised for Ideos X5)

Anyone betting on it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Somewhere was said that Huawei's main focus is on ICS and if they have time they'll do a 2.3 upgrade. Not sure if its true though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NeoZiggy:
Sure the U8860 Honor will get the update... but the M886 Mercury in America probably wont. Same phone just a cruddier FFC and its CDMA not GSM. Cricket is a "unlimited everything for one low rate" provider and I doubt will care to update it's customers. But you get what you pay for... a $250 phone with service for $55 a month.

I'm buying the phone today and I will go on a killing spree if it breaks with in the first few months. By then I'm sure they will have lowered the price though :-/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MaRcIuPT:
I read somewhere that google's force company's to have last android updates on recent models. that means even x5 have to be updated to ICS because its an 2008+ model. and so on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NeoZiggy:
I don't know much about this, I tried to search for anything about that quickly and came up dry. Recent models will be updated I'm sure, but if your phone is a year old then too bad.

Also, On Google's site it says that old Android versions can be shipped on any device, since it's open srouce, but can not carry the name Android and will not be part of the Market ecosystem.

Baiscally, I think its up to the manufacturer if they want to spend the time to get the new OS updates to work with a phone even though Google tries to make it easy. Low-end models will suffer and get lost in the dust.

Now about carriers pushing updates OTA... I think that will only last about a year to 18 months. Why give you the latest OS when you can come back and spend more on a new phone?

Food for thought: A year ago I bought the Samsung Galaxy-S from T-Mobile, it didn't have the latest Android version. T-Mobile said they weren't planning on pushing the update OTA when it came out. Instead said to use Samsung's Kies which failed miserably. At the time I wasn't the only one who had trouble with the software. So I loaded up a custom ROM with a newer Android OS and a sleek dark look.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
Looks like a cool phone. Happy with the x5 for now though.

Guess the moral is you get what you pay for really. Huawei package good hardware into a reasonably nice phone and they sell it cheap, why do we expect updates to next version of Android? You pay an extra couple of hundy for a sammy or htc with the same specs, you can start to expect updates. Buy an Iphone and it is a part of the deal for a generation or 2.

It is the biggest problem with android that there is no central control. Google makes a new version, phone manufacturer has to update everything to support it, carrier has to decide to push it and then customise it and then you have to update it using any of a bunch of methods. It is too messy and nobody has control to make sure phones are good and functional before being shipped out the door.

Also ICS has bumped up the minimum specs so everything down in spec from a nexus s should not expect ICS any time soon if ever.

I love xda for making cheap phones completely usable and awesome with custom firmwares and great devs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XDA-J:
Currently from Huawei official BBS there is no plan to release ICS version to X5. The new model Honor already have the ICS pilot version.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NeoZiggy:
So if the Honor has it, the Mercury should too. Only difference is CDMA and FFC....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] erica_renee:
the above about min requirements is far from true.. If you have a phone that will run 2.2 or above it WILL RUN ICS Better. The biggest improvements in ics is in how it handles memory and cpu cycles.It all uses a whole new ui called render script. that threads the ui thru the gpu Hardware rendering. This makes ics run even better on older hardware.

This is all over the net check it out. and YOUTUBE as well..

I to am wondering about ICS ON The mercury. Unless we can gind a very good DEV that can port the u8860 rom to the M886 . from gsm to cdma .

Anyway just my opinion. I went from honeycomb to ics on my icionia a500 and its like a new device

I got the Honor 10 days ago !

For what it is, this phone is great, getting it was a very last minute decision (duty free shop in the Airport), but I'm happy I did.

I was able very easily to put ICS on it and it runs great every thing is better about the phone (except for the camera which is horrible), the ICS room is from HUAWEI and its called Cambodia Demo but it works great including Google play.

Well I've never used bluetooth, but it's sure not working for me. I need to transfer some files from phone to Debian laptop. Paired them OK (MIUI), but Bluetooth Settings forever says "Paired but not connected". In the phone I click on that BT device (laptop), and it gives no actions like 'connect' or 'transfer file'. I long-click on the laptop device, and it only allows me to unpair.

WTF? I want to mount the SD card on my laptop so I can transfer files with impunity. What good is BT?

OK so I at least need to transfer files over USB, but that doesn't work now either since I've reinstalled Debian. I don't remember doing anything special before to make this work, but maybe I'm wrong. Used to be, I'd plug USB and it would come up with sdb1, which I could mount. Now I only get sg1, which is unmountable.

so i had to restore my stock ROM and manually backup my data and Flash the Custom ROM again and so far so good !!

[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
You just download a new ROM from here when someone releases one...?

Most of the stuff these guys are messing with is leaked stuff, or stuff pulled from other phones that shipped with newer software and its out before the actual OTA is ever even close to coming out. Just check back in here every once and a while and Im sure someone will have something new. Thats half the fun, trying out new things.

~T.J.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
When an update releases just run the RUU.exe, it will return you to stock and put you back to stock recovery if you want the ota that badly you can get it, you need to swap recoveries to get ota's. AFAIK.

Everyone hold your horses. Imnuts has a copy that came from another source and he tweeted if you wait until tomorrow he will have infinityrom with the ep3 base. Much worth the wait instead of getting it stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Undzis:
.

no actually i don't see anything wrong with this statement. but I am a bit surprised you do. So you are saying you see nothing wrong with somebody profiting from somebody else work that in reality its work they stole? we can call it a "leak" but none of us actually own it. We didn't create it. So by taking it, we stole it. No different then dl a "leak" movie work print. except p3 is charging for ppl to dl it a little early. Personally i think its a despicable practice but that's my 2 cents.

Look at it this way. Devs pass out custom roms that they work very hard to give us. They often pass them around irc for testing purposes. So lets say Imnuts or team gummy gives you a copy of their newest rom for you to test. You in return upload it to another server and charge ppl to dl early befor they release it. P3 is doing the same exact thing. You see nothing wrong with that?

Yep, we had this argument with most of the Charge users a few months back and it was like 60% in favor of it being bull$hit that P3 profits from stolen leaks. I personally don't agree with his tactics but we already had this huge discussion which ended pretty badly and abruptly. He got the favor in the end because he threatened everyone that he would stop giving us these leaks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
don't get me wrong I'm not saying P3 right or wrong....just saying too wrongs don't make it right...that's my point....
[Verizon Droid Charge] wilshyre:
I just hope that nobody here is stupid enough to buy the app simply for early access to this leak. Aside from providing a leak a few hours earlier than the general public, the app is abso-****ing-lutely useless. Its an app that you buy solely for the purpose of obtaining the latest software for your phone? As the site says, the software provided is "sometimes leaked." So thats basically saying that they'll give you what you get from buying your phone or after receiving ota updates anyway, for a small fee of 2.99. And after looking at the site, its clear that team blackhat is just after a few bucks, and instead of making that money like most good devs do (by producing roms/mods/kernels/apps, and relying on donations made to support their work, or by selling useful apps on an app market), they try to dupe you out of a few bucks by offering you what you already have access to simply by coming here or going to other popular android forums. Or they'll unlock your droid pro or droid 2 global for 100 dollars, and for an extra 25 bucks, they'll even provide the shipping! Wow!

Don't buy the app for this leak. Wait a few hours and get it for free. Or wait a few hours more, and get a custom rom all tweaked up and debloated for free.
