Hello comunity of xda-developers. I'm new here but not in the modding, so, let's go to the point. The official update of gingerbread was released in my country (Argentina), but, i can't get it because i have upgraded to GB using the ODIN and LUBKP7 rom. I want to ask you, if there is the possibility to get this FW by another way. Thanks

I have found a few MiUi still launchers but all of them have folder limits? Does anyone know of a launcher with no app draw like MiUi but doesn't have a folder limits?

Basically I don't want 3 game folders, just one one folder of games with 30+ apps. I like MiUi Launcher and Tancent desktop but the folder limit kills me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kazan22:
You can remove the drawer on both ADW and LauncherPro.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alton987:
Can you remove it or just hide it? Lets say I install a app I want it to load on my desktop not in my app drawer then I have to remember to put it in a folder or drag it to the desktop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadsamhann:
how about this one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alton987:
It has a folder limit
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadsamhann:
maybe you can try Apps Organizer. you can have create folder(dunno if it limited or not). it works as widget on any launcher.

So, my dog broke my HTC Sensation 4G's screen :( ... Now getting Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile. This was a great phone. Learned many things about android. Learned about Security Off and On, Radios. Everything. It was pretty bad though with no Custom ROMs.So I want to know what did you think of this device and how it performs. Before a last goodbye.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
SGSII is nice, I played with it while still in development. Reason I wouldn't get it? Low dev support. Sure, there's a whole bunch of support for the SGSII in other countries but that version is COMPLETELY different then the one your getting. ALL the guts are different right down to the display so everything that has been done to that one wont work on the one your getting. It's a US only version. Just my .02.

I trialed the Amaze (yes I work for TMO). It was nice, fast but not faster than my Sensation and DEFINATELY not faster customized. Again, it's issue is it is only a TMO phone so dev support will be low. It will be nothing like the Sensation.

On to the Sensation. Best phone I've ever used, hands down. Everytime I pick it up, I'm still amazed by what I can do with it and it's user interface. Yeah, Sense 3.0 has a long ways to go but its so nice to play with. Something new almost every day!
[HTC Sensation] sergeybrin:
I gotta be honest, when I first got my Sensation I was quite disappointed with the horrible UI that comes with it out of the box. But then I flashed Senseless Extreme, which made it a lot more tolerable. Now that I have flashed CM7 I am completely happy and my phone is extremely fast and smooth. I couldn't ask for more. Much more fun to use than my old Nexus One. I just love the huge, brilliant screen and the awesome CPU.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
I personally am disappointed in this phone, but I enjoy it at the same time. I find the fact that it isn't perfect is what makes it fun: fun to try to make it better by modding it. If I had a phone that I liked out of the box, I never would have discovered rooting and custom ROMs and the like. I only joined xda because I was so disappointed.

Overall, I will never buy a LCD display phone again, the poor software integration left me wanting, and problems like the crappy speaker and decidedly average battery life were disappointing. So I am disappointed, but this phone has opened me up to the Android world (1st android phone and 1st smartphone) and I'm excited to see what it can do with ICS. I'll milk this phone for what its worth for sure.

Basically, +1 an all of your points :D
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
i had a sensation too and opted out for the galaxy S2 ,i wouldnt worry about the dev support fo the galaxy as is there already a few devs over there and iit will continue to grow. i just couldnt deal with the dust issue .when you send a phone back because of this and the one you get back has it worse than the one you sent then its a problem. with that being said i loved everything else about the sensation but it was time to move on as i was sick of getting replacement handsets. galaxy is a very nice phone and i dont think i went backward any
[HTC Sensation] barondebxl:
I sold my sensation for the SGSII with T-mobile and it's the best decision I've made. The sensation stock is such a piece of crap, but thanks to the devs the phone is decent. But its sucks that you have to root your phone in order to get good performance. The SGSII? Smokes the sensation in every category except screen resolution. But the Super AMOLED plus display makes up for it. If you haven't seen it in real life you don't know what I'm talking about. It's simply AMAZING. No wonder why it gets all the praises.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I wish I knew how you make this phone lag. Mine is completely stock and I have no lag at all and good battery life. Of course I have no dust issues either so maybe I got an anomaly:)
[HTC Sensation] michaelbeers:
I had the sensation, then switched to the amaze, then went back to the sensation. Played with the sgs2 and I hated the touchwiz ui crap. I know that is complete personal preference so personally it was enough for me to not get it and go back to the sensation. So I absolutely love my sensation. Even in stock form.
[HTC Sensation] zukа:
I heard a lot of complaining about the Sensation on this forum before I got it and I was pretty worried about buying it. When I played with it in the store, I thought it was a little laggy in scrolling and opening apps.

Buying it was the best phone decision I've made. I'm not a techno-wiz, but s-off, rooting and installing Android Revolution HD + the Bricked kernel was easy and has made the phone incredibly fast, usable and fun to use. Seriously the best phone I've ever used.
[HTC Sensation] tready:
I went the other way I had a gs2 sold it why 2 reasons firstly the thing gets very very hot when playing games and I mean hot secondly its to thin uncomfortable to hold well it was for me. I then bought the sensation but lost my job so had to sell it I was gutted best phone iv ever had. Got a new job but bought a HTC desire s which iv still got but today iv just ordered a new sensation which ill get wensday carnt wait

[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
This is the best phone I've had hands down. It took a lot to get it there but the best things in life... Well you gotta work for them. After getting CM7 and the anker 1900 battery this phone is a beast. I'm sure it'd kick the crap out of the tmo sgs 2.
[HTC Sensation] hello00:
This is the best phone ive ever gotten myself..I played with the sgsii and it feels like a toy in your hands and i also hated the touchwiz ui..I was planning to get the amaze but the phone is way too thick and the design is crap compared to the sensation..
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
I love this phone. Got it on launch day and have had no real issues. Maybe I got lucky? I have insurance but have never had any reason to send it back.
[HTC Sensation] relic419:
Love the phone! Came from Epic 4G, and I don't see myself ever buying a Samsung phone (unless, of course, it's a Nexus device!). It seems the TMO SGS2 might suffer a similar fate of having poor dev support as the Epic 4G because of the considerably different hardware (specifically the processor); they still haven't received Gingerbread, and no CM7 support (even the SGS1 hasn't received a stable CM7 build I believe).

Anyway, this was my first experience with Sense, and I have to say it blows TouchWiz out of the water, and offers some nice enhancements to stock Android (see camer). Despite the attractiveness of Sense, I put CM7 on this bad boy, and it is leaps and bounds better than the stock experience. Even tried going back to Sense, but a few hours later, I was restoring my Nandroid backup!

Take a look at CM7 benchmarks on the Sensation, you'll see that they are very comparable, if not better, than the stock SGS, which kind of suggests Sense is really bogging down the system.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Camera on the Sensation is great, and the resolution offers the most screen real estate that I've ever had on a phone. It's really fast, and does almost everything I want it to do. All it's missing now is Siri ;)
[HTC Sensation] theonlyrealperson:
I was disappointed in the phone at first, like some of you, but it has really started to grow on me. One thing that needs to happen, when you first get a sensation, is to S-Off, root it, and then put a modded ROM on it.

It doesn't even matter if it's a Sense mod, AOSP/CyanagenMod, or CyanagenMod - the stock needs to go to really get a feel for what this phone can do.

I actually like the LCD screen, although the SGSII's super-amoled screen is nice. I call it a toss-up.

I think what really did it for me was the realization that the software can be changed - but the hardware is much more difficult. This phone just feels better in my hand than the SGSII. I've been lucky enough not to have a "dust under the screen" problem (yet).

I dunno, maybe it's because I came from a clunky BlackBerry and an even clunkier OpenMoko.
[HTC Sensation] Johnsonyc:
I love this phone! I got it when all sensation still run as S_On and after while S_off and rooted this phone from 6/10 boost to 8/10 then someone on the this forum post out how to self unlock the phone without call the mobile provider it make it 9/10 to me. After flash custom rom and do some "Tweak" with the setting and skin. Even some iphone fanboy will play my phone while we hangout.

[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
The Sensation is my first Android (old skool iOS fanboi here) and I love it! Sure there are things that could be better, but the software support for this device is ridiculous IMO. It's amazing, really! The TMOUS SGSII will be a little more limited in support than the other 3 SGSII's afaik due to the different processor and or screen correct? Well, at least the processor is different. However, Samsung released the source code for it so root isn't far off!

I switched over to platypus awhile back, initially just to test the water, but I stuck with it for some time. I just attempted to come back to glitch today, however although it seems to run perfectly fine...my fps is terrible. I noticed it first with quadrant standard...i couldn't get past the first test screen, it was too choppy and i could see my fps was at 1-3. Well, to confirm this, i loaded up some games and indeed they were choppy as hell....I flashed the medium version, and then the light...all the same result....needless to say I went back to platypus and all was back to normal with an average of 68 fps sooo idk what happened.

I think six just fixed the battery drain on CM7. He made our phones properly deep sleep and work correctly! New kernel is testing but just wanna give people a heads up of what's coming.
[Vibrant Android Development] -deuces-:
the downloads say "captivate ", is that supposed to be?

also is this a newer version of the 9/22 (v12 I think) kernel or u just made a new thread of urs?

thanks.....glitch is the only kernel I use cuz its the only one that supports front facing camera
[Vibrant Android Development] sixstringsg:
I thought I fixed that... Oh well, I'll fix it in a minute. These are still my kernels from the other thread, my V12B3 from 9/22 is still the current one.

[Vibrant Android Development] apicia:
Does this fix the deep sleep issue? My phone runs 100MHz during screen off, idling in CM7.
[Vibrant Android Development] sixstringsg:
Then something is keeping wakelock. It shouldn't do that on the stock kernel. But yes, "deep sleep" works here just as it does on CM7 stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] apicia:
Thanks six. I am running the latest stable CM7. Never drops below 100MHz using CPU Spy. How can I track down what is keeping her from entering deep sleep? Program or service? Fresh install last night with Google addon.
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
On V11 or V12B3? Have you made changes to B3 since 9/22? For some reason I can't get BLN to work, however I like the lights not timing out.

Neither. On the latest internal beta. It will be out at some point soonish.

[Acer Iconia A500] nrnx:
with 3.2 ota your going to have to downgrade then upgrade custom rom. I found the easiest way to do this is download the bricked update zip located in the thread mentioned above, put it on sd card. Boot using power and volume up. Flash the room, prior to this make sure you have acer recovery and iconiaroot installed. When you boot you cannot use an onscreen kb. Simply run iconiaroot, and then install cwm via acer flash recovery. Then you can install any of the prerooted 3.2 roms located here and wala no data loss.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sicvita:
I installed this kernel from Chainfire's thread: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KH4-v4.1-CWM4.tar

However, my phone says that I have the KH7 kernel, but I figured this one ( KH4 ) would be close enough. It flashed fine, and I have root access and all, but my back button no longer works at all (not even haptic), and my Home button is acting like a back button - meaning I essentially have lost my Home button...

But now that my device is rooted, when I boot into debug mode, I get the CWM menu, meaning I can no longer use Odin correct? But because my home button is gone, I cannot select "install zip from sd card"

My question is this: Without the use of the Home button on my device, is there anyway to flash a new kernel?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
You just flashed cf root for the INTERNATIONAL SGS2 and NOT FOR THE ATT SGS2. That is why you lost some buttons. Make sure to use ATT SGS2 ROMS/KERNELS. There is a post about how to fix your issue in the att section to get you back to the att version of the SGS2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sicvita:
Can I still use Odin even if I have already rooted the device? Do I just hold up vol + down vol + power to boot into download mode? I thought that was called debug mode...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] negative_silent:
From the FAQ:

How do I put my phone into Download mode so I can flash w/ Odin?

Take out the battery from the back to ensure your phone is completely off, then put the battery back in. Now hold down on both the Up and Down Volume buttons and plug the USB coming from your PC into your SGS2. Once you see a warning screen let go of the volume buttons. Hit the Up Volume button to continue into download mode.

I found that you can just click the volume down + power button to get into download mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sicvita:
I think everyone is missing the point of my question. Can I flash my phone with Odin EVEN IF I ALREADY HAVE CWR INSTALLED? I cannot use CWR to flash as I lost the use of my Home button (cannot select from the menu)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sicvita:
I resolved my own issue. There is a difference between RECOVERY mode and DOWNLOAD mode. To boot into recovery you hold vol up + vol down + power, to boot into download mode you JUST hold vol up + vol down, then plug into USB. I did not realize there were two different modes, sorry for wasting time and causing confusion. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup, you can always boot into download mode as long as you didn't flash a bootloader.

Another way of saying it is:

If the screen turns on at all, you can recover by flashing something correct in download mode.
