Lol, if only SOPA really passed, then I'd have an excuse to blame the government for this. Lets see if ACTA passes.

and feb, did you delete all your uploads for the sense 3.5 links? they are all gone and i was looking forward to this. Can you put another up?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Drzfr3shboialex:
I know what you mean. Just because it didn't pass though does not mean the government won't take things down. When I clicked in the link, the government logo came out.

Anyone know of a place i can get the photon cheap?? i currently have HTC Evo Shift and im looking into this phone. Just i don't wanna pay $550 for it.

Also what does bad ESN stand for??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Bad ESN means the phone can't be activated on Sprints network. Either its a stolen phone or the bill wasn't paid. The
[Motorola Photon 4G] noefects:
That might be a tough one to find cheap as it is so new, you could look for one with a broken digitizer and replace it, but the digitizers are rather expensive if you could find them for this phone, so the amount of money saved would be negligible. better off buying a new one or waiting a few months. a bad ESN is the serial number of the phone that is essentially banned from the network because someone did not pay their bill and the contract was terminated or someone reported the phone stolen so the ESN will not work on the network. you can buy phones with bad ESN's and flash them to work on Metro PCS i believe but since this phone is so new thats probably low on the list for the Developers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] alex2792:
I'll sell you my photon for $300 after the 14th since I'm upgrading to the iphone 4s.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Darkmx2000:
How can you turn your back on Android? :-( :-( :-( jk I was thinking about getting the iPhone now that its on Sprint but I knew I would be licking myself in the ass for switching from a Galaxy S2 to a 3.5 inch iPhone. Plus this thing screams and I understand that the iPhone is smooth and fast but not then this. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I really hope you meant kicking. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] kyhassen:
i was kinda thinking the same thing hahaha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] alex2792:
I've missed the iphone since I left at&t,but Sprint's plans are just too good. I don't dislike Android,but it's nowhere near iOS when it comes to user experience. The fact that there is lag when swiping homescreens is pretty embarrassing considering it's a dual core phone. I was thinking about Nexus Prime but the ICS video is really underwhelming with the butt ugly UI.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kyhassen:
is the phone rooted? i have heard about the lag here n their. but I still wanna get it if your still interested in selling it later on. like i said it would take me a couple of weeks due to lame paychecks haha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] section30:
Related & I hope I'm not hijacking but I lost my old Hero and am going to buy a Photon. Seems like Best Buy has the best deal for $99 these days? Any chance / opinions that the price will go down further soon or should I simply bite the bullet and get it ASAP?

--30
[Motorola Photon 4G] poppygt:
$99 on contract is the cheapest I've found locally also, I've seen the Evo 3D for $79 online but the Photon has been praised in all it's reviews for having such a good signal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kyhassen:
I've heard nothin but good things about this phone except the fact that it has lag sometimes from screen switches which I'm use too from hero, evo, and evo shift.

But if anyone is getting rid of there photon for the iphone, let me know I would be glad to make a deal or something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ort84:
My iPhone 4S should be in friday from Sprint so my photon will be up for grabs soon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] donnieo214:
cheapest without contract

The cheapest I found it was at wuzbee (.com) a few months ago; when I got mine it was something like $370 without a contract. The price went up a little since then and is showing out of stock now. Looks like there are some sellers on ebay with lots of good ratings that have it for around $380 now. Got another for my wife with a contract extension at Best Buy for $100 shortly after I got mine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jess813:
Look on Craigslist they go for $230-300 depending on condition. Before you buy call Sprint and verify that it's a good phone to use (as in good ESN). I bought mine BRAND new for $270, and I mean NEW as in I took off the plastic. Good luck.

Just Odin without the battery in. The computer provides the power. With Odin up and the phone off plug in the USB cord and quickly hold the 1 key and power. Should go right into download mode.

wow i was reading an old tutorial an it didnt mention I could do that it just said to make sure it was charged. Thanks will give it a try

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnelain:
DISCLAIMER: This thread contains NOOB questions!

Hi all,

First of all I guess most of you really dislike these kind of threads. But I am reading xda for 2 months now, searching all over the place for some answers. Probably read almost every guide etc. but I really can't get my head around this amount of information. So here I am with the age old question: Which rom should I install?

I ask this question here because of all the fora I visited xda seems the most knowledgeable.

So here is the situation. I was running Samsung 2.3.4 with launcher pro. But this was all a bit buggy and didn't feel right. So I was really glad to see the 2.3.5 update. I was still thinking this would contain gtalk video chat and ad hoc connection detection. But I was mistaken.

First I thought maybe install the most recent stock version. But as far as I can see this is also still 2.3.5 and doesn't include the previous mentioned features (correct me if I am wrong).

Currently I am this far as I probably "need" a custom wrong but the list seems endless and the one seems better than the other. And I feel a bit lost.

I looked at the following so far: Lite'ning; Oxygenrom; Cyanogen and Villainrom.

Lite'ning rom looks nice and fast but this much blue isn't good for the screen and I hear development is halted so probably not.

Villainrom, I can't find really good video's and I can't find that much info. So no for now.

Oxygenrom looks fast but I also not sure yet.

The best candidate seems to be Cyanogen right now.

So what am I looking for. Besides the two mentioned features above (gtalk video, ad hoc) I am not really sure if I am ready to unlock yet (but if it is necessary). Futhermore I am not really a fan of bugs either (duh) and I don't want to miss any features (FM radio for example). Oh and I am bit of a minimalist when it comes to looks. So that is secondary ;).

Hopefully I didn't bug you all to much and I am really looking forward to your opinions and experiences (good and bad). And I am still open for suggestions.

He means not for users who know little about flashing and roms ,Its the most difficult rom of them all .

You have read the posts but not understood them otherwise you would not be asking your question what rom .

You could go to one of the Rom Kitchens and build your own .

But in your shoes i would read the details on the latest custom roms what they have and whats missing .

Minimal look is stock or MIU .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spradling:
I think OP's question is great, there's a lot of info on XDA but I can't find ONE stable/popular/regular thread discussing ROM vs ROM. The which ROM is best thread always pop up but then die after a couple of posts.

I think it would be great if users posted when they switch ROM commenting the switch, and if other users who tried more than 1 ROM posted their experience.

I'm a long time XDA user (Nexus One->Captivate->Nexus S->SGSII), have run a bunch of ROMs and read XDA EVERYDAY (multiple times lol) and read every post in LeoROM, Cognition, JKay and Siyah Threads but still I have the same question as the OP (was about to make a thread about it).

On my SGSII I've only run Cognition (since v1.0 to latest 1.5.1, gone through 2.3.3 and 2.3.4), also gone through all modems till latest KI4 and kernels (ninph, speedmod) till latest Siyah 1.8.

I've been thinking about switching ROM for some weeks now (want 2.3.5!) but couldn't decide, was about to convert to Leomar's ROM but then encountered other ROMs that look good and have a bunch of followers: Cristelko, DlevROM, TouchX Power, and now even more options!: Cyanogen stable out now and Cognition 2.3.5 announced coming soon. I hate being undecided!!! Was really decided on LeoROM, just about to switch, but now found all these other seemingly very good ROMs!

I'm a flash addict, love updating ROM, Modem & Kernel, but I HATE wiping! And I don't like to switch ROMs or update from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 without wiping. So I want to decide what to flash!!! I'm not going to try all of them (I don't have the time and I hate wiping) so I have to rely on other's opinions, reading a lot (following the changelogs) and then make a definite decision!

So please guys, anybody who has tried more than 1 ROM, can you share your experiences?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
To check out the most popuar roms, look at how big the discussion thread is (reply, views).

Also a suggestion can be the one to check "veterans" signature, usually this ppl use the most stable/bugless firmware.

For my personal choice im on Cyanogen but yes, thats not for beginners.

My 2nd choice is the "nandroidbackup" of my Black S2 (check my signature) a lot easier to install and beginners ready :)

Also Miui is a good choice (and dosnt look like the stock tw rom) but got BT/TV Out bug for now, so if you need a stable bt it's not the choice.

To end my 5 cents, i think it's better for you, try out 3-4 roms and pick the one you feel better with.

I think the choice is pretty individual, some ppl loves a rom that some other really hate and so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
I don't recommend you flashing CM7 since it's harder than flashing samsung firmware based ROMS. Unless you really want it and then well, it's not that hard anyway.

Anyway, if you have root installing gtalk with video is easy, you just need a root explorer app, I use FIle Expert becasue it's free. Just follow this guide step by step and you're done http://samsunggalaxys2blog.com/sams...1-3-with-video-calling-for-samsung-galaxy-s2/

If you want a custom ROM, maybe you could try checkROM www.checkrom.com since it has good support for themes and stuff. And it is updating and will update with each relevant firmware release. And flashing it is just simple. Well hope it helps.

For last, if you really want to go with CM7, I can say that it's the best ROM I've flashed. I just started with it a couple of days ago and you can feel the smoothness inmediatly which I never had in samsung firmware. Anyway there are some bugs, you loose samsung apps like polaris office which I used a lot, FM radio I think doesn't work for now, and the camera app is worse than the samsung one that comes with the phone. But for me at least it's worth it, the main funcionality is there, bluetooth, wifi, etc.... Well, if you decide to flash it please don't use ROM manager becasue it won't work. I can help you with the steps i did if you want, so pm me if you need it because I probably won't be looking at this thread again.

Good luck!

I have used CM6 for Sony Xperia X10i. But really what I want is something that is lightweight and good battery life. I usually always install Nemus Launcher and a horde of my fav. apps. I am not concern about the themes as I never use the default themes. What I want is the built in SIP for GB over 3G. Can someone recommend a ROM for me to use? I have already rooted my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:
I'd suggest VillainRom. Its stock, fast, and has the best battery of all KI3 roms in my opinion. It all really depends on what kind of rom what you want!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnelain:
Thanks spradling for backing up my thread. I must admit I was a bit scared of by the previous replies. Nevertheless been ploughing through more threads and finally gave up on finding an answer. I guess everybody tries at one point and hopes they don't have to start a %*(^& I think I bricked my phone thread.

So which one to try. Well the heck with it cyanogen has the best looking website if they build there rom the same way what could go wrong.

Well a lot let me tell ya. It was a very feverish night and I had to flash my phone for like 20 times before I got it right (see this thread).

Nevertheless it works and it works great. I can seed there are some bugs. For example I had a slow response when waking up the phone but after going back and forth between the minimum cpu (200 to 500 MHz) that was gone.

Gtalk + video works (yay!) but still no ad hoc connection. I did some customization and my phone looks and feels slick now. I haven't tried the fm radio but it probably will not work. And I am missing the touch to focus in the camera app but that can be replaced (stil looking any suggestions).

The only thing that really worries me is the battery life. It shortened drastically but it could be me mishandling the battery.

Nevertheless I a pretty pleased with myself and my phone.

Hopefully this helps somebody ;)

Carnelain

PS thanks for the offer tomascunill but I figured it out :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
There's an lgCamera app in the market which I found better than the one that comes in CM7, you could try it and see if it works best for you. As for battery life, it seems to be better in the latest nightlies (the latest beeing 87). IF you're in stable version I HIGHLY suggest you to move to the latest nightly since there are lots of thing fixed that in "stable" version are not working right.
