Sadly, this seems to apply to most parts of xda with multiple miui and cm edits.
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
Why is the ics the same like a cyanogenmod with other aps?
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
No, it was a general statement.
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
Dont understand what you are trying to say (its late then my brain is a little bit sleepy xD)
[Wildfire Android Development] Balino:
You should try to learn English before and then start speaking. I said that I'm not a developer so I Don't go around trying to shows others how skilled I'm developing an ics rom!

Honestly I don't think you have more than a week of experience about android, you just remplaced some files and posted it trying to get respect around here.
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
So what my english is not so good so what?
[Wildfire Android Development] Balino:
If you don't understand what I'm saying you can't bother me about things I already said
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
Basically, he said that you change a few files around in your roms. And release them to gain respect.
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
Gain respect?

Whats that mean?
[Wildfire Android Development] Balino:
Lol let's give a cut at this... avoiding to spam the forums
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
Become popular. Become known in the community as a developer. Things like that.
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
,...........
[Wildfire Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I have just less than a weeks experience myself, but I can compile this and that and this...

The reason you don't see MIUI edits here and there is because MIUI is closed source.
[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
Sorry, but it's me that can't speak very good English. I know it and say it to others.

For the rest, you/us must to search in the source. But the source of GB and ICS is very different and the armv6 is not support anymore.

And the exams for school are coming and that is bad...

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...om-developers-i-think-we-need-to-have-a-talk/

Even androidpolice is talking about all those ****ty ROMs on XDA. C'mon guys, face it. You didn't do anything special. Replaced the kernel and build.prop is nothing special. Stop releasing some zip-files with ****ty ROMs, even the touchscreen doesn't work.

Start releasing a ROM when you really fixed something, not "YAY, I GOT IT BOOTING. LOOK AT ME, I'M AWESOME"-ROMs.
[Wildfire Android Development] MattDN93:
Here's what arco had to say:

So thanks for all the effort Karting and Kaassaus, and everybody else just chill out and stop bashing each other, we now know that arco plans to release a beta so we can all take out our early ICS cravings on a partially working ICS ROM with working touchscreen, and the we just gotta be patient for the experienced devs to do their job. No offence meant, you guys did well in the ROM (I'm not a dev so I wouldn't know where to start) but lets all stop hating on each other and chill till arco releases his work :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
Okay, actually I am building a ROM from the source.

I will search if I can fix something. And if it works I will post it.

I was first, it was my idea, I continue and basta.
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
Who is saying thatyou dont can continue i'm going maby to continue to so i'm that you continue :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
You forgot happy, I think ! (hope :D)
[Wildfire Android Development] MattDN93:
Well if you get the touchscreen and stuff working let us know :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
I'd rather wait to see what arcos ICS rom looks like rather than see you make two ICS roms
[Wildfire Android Development] Zorkman:
why?

whatever they do will not slow down arco...

by trying to do some stuff they will probably learn more about android/ICS/wildfire and that can only mean positive things for the community
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
the key words in my post was "Two ICS Roms" kaassaus has already got a ICS rom, and he's on about continuing this rom too. I dont want to see a dev section dominated by his "continued roms".
[Wildfire Android Development] fifarunnerr:
Non-developers shouldn't try to be a developer. We don't need your ROMs. Almost every custom ROM is just ****. We don't care about your ripped custom boot animation, your wifi-tweak so it only searches for networks every minute, and your custom notification sounds.

DON'T release ROMs like that. Never! We don't give a **** about your ROM, because you didn't do anything we couldn't do. All of your custom features can be found using Google. First hit will give you a great tutorial of how to change the boot animation or any other stupid feature you've got.

If we'd like any of those features, we're not waiting for you to release your ****ty ROM, we're just following the tutorial and fix it ourselves.

When you release your own ROM, it has to be awesome. Just Awesome. For example, Cyanogenmod. The latest version of android, no HTC-****, lots of great tweaks and new features, fast, support for themes and better than any other ROM out here.

So, now back to your "zipfile ROMs". The number of new features: 0. The number of items that didn't already exist: 0. Do you guys see that number. It's called a Zero. It's even lower than the lowest grade you guys can get at school. That's like being so stupid you can't even spell your own freakin' name. And if you can't even spell your own name, we don't need you.

DON'T think you're awesome because you've got your own ROM. Everybody could do this, just by using existing tutorials out there.

At the moment there are 2 ICS ROMs for the wildfire. Yes, both of them are booting, but that's it. Nothing more than that. Even the touchscreen doesn't work. You know, the touchscreen. That piece of hardware you use all day to control your device. Without a touchscreen, your device is useless. Just like those ROMs. Do you really think we're waiting for such ROMs? Don't release them. NEVER.

Why not? Because we can't even use it.

Have you guys even seen this topic?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012003

Most of you guys are non-devs. That's not a problem, most of you guys are providing feedback to existing ROMs to make them better. I like those guys, they're there when you need them, but they aren't nagging you.

But some of you guys think they are devs, because of their "zipfile ROM". You guys didn't even write a single line of code.

The definition of a developer:

Which part of it do you guys think you are? You guys don't know anything about Java, C, C++, C#. So don't try to make your own ROM. Just don't.
[Wildfire Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You don't 100% know what you are talking about yourself...

So the OP posted an ICS ROM. Did he claim he coded it from scratch? No. He says it is ported from the hero. So don't go on at him.

Don't go around telling people they don't know C or Java and that they are useless. They might be able to do other stuff.

And before you start swearing with your foul language, there are kids in this forum.

You should be ashamed.

I too, dislike zipfile developing, but unlike you, instead of giving attention I keep quiet.

I was almost thinking about being a dev here on xda, but I guess my options are open...

Before you start, I know several programming languages...

Don't flame, because I will not flame back.

Finally some sanity on this thread.

[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
If you aren't happy, didn't come.

I can develop for C++/Python. Now, I am learning Java. Every developer was a day a non-dev. He have learned, everyone can learn anything.

What think you that I do now ? I am developing from the source. And I will release anything when I get the base working.
[Wildfire Android Development] fifarunnerr:
The OP didn't port anything actually. He changed the kernel, build.prop and that's it. If the touchscreen isn't working, don't release the ROM. If he ported it from Hero, got it booting, fixed the touchscreen and made the ROM usable(wifi or 3G etc), then I wasn't complaining.

My point is, both zipfile developers, didn't do anything a normal user couldn't do. They're giving us hope they can bring a stable ICS-ROM to the wildfire, but they can't.
[Wildfire Android Development] dud3me:
These "developers" are just beginning and i don't think there is anything bad with that. But you shouldn't post roms with just few things like boot animations etc. changed. I mean there are like 10 "feather final 0.1 stable" and similar roms out there. So maybe you should learn and develop a rom a little further before releasing and learn to fix/do stuff yourself and not just use somebody else's work and edit it a little.
[Wildfire Android Development] Stefanex92:
Sorry man but why the touch doesn't work if it work on hero?
[Wildfire Android Development] Zorkman:
yes, but your whining does help the community?

seriously, it is stated in the subject of the thread that it is a port from Hero and that is booting, no other claims whatsoever

if you're not interested in what those zipfile monkeys do: don't read it

nobody is forcing you, but you are spending time complaining about it;

that is also not what the dev section is about, right?

they hurt nobody and are learning just like every developer did in the beginning

I know java, I know C and I'm sure they do as well (at least a bit) -referring to your previous post-

when they bump into a wall they'll hopefully look at the code and learn

yes, it would be great if they were coding wizards,

but I'm already glad that there are people who spend time on it, have a good time and have a chance to learn something

I'm not expecting them to give me a working ICS version, and even if that was my expectation, then it would be MY mistake, not theirs
[Wildfire Android Development] MattDN93:
Just saying the only way you can get a ROM of any kind off the ground with a port is be community assistance, the devs, or another knowledgeable user who can assist. Putting the ROM out now is fine cause others can flash it, maybe come up with ideas, maybe someone knows how to get features working...if you keep it to yourself and you have a point you're struggling with, with regards to porting, you'll never get a working ROM, at least this way you might get a working ROM out there, that's what the community is for, aspiring to get the best out of our phones with community knowledge.

I suspect the Hero has a different touchscreen driver than the Wildfire due to it's different res and possibly different brand of LCD...I may stand corrected there though...
[Wildfire Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Fifarunner, you haven't done anything yourself so shut up.

I didn't start outcast a zipfile developer, but I learned to do stuff along similar lines.

I usually used to repackage CM before flashing it so I could add a few things, but then I was looking for speed so I thought about CPU Governors and IO Schedulers and how to add them, then I realized you had to compile a kernel with them added. Then I published my kernel, credited Arco for his kernel source and started to use it.

Adding stuff to kernel source can be easy, but fixing things takes time.

I don't consider myself a developer.

So in my eyes, unless you can come up with a better ROM than the OP, you can kindly keep quiet.

The OP isn't hurting anyone....

Guys,

Please stop to say anything about that.

Stay on the topic please.

Thank you !
[Wildfire Android Development] fifarunnerr:
I've got 2 Android Apps in the Android Market, I study Computer Science and know quite a lot about Java and C# and little bit about C/C++.

And I don't spend my time on making a ROM for Wildfire, because there are enough of them. I prefer an AOSP-based ROM, and I love CM. Since arco already is working on CM9, and he has got more knowledge about CM/android-source, I don't see why I need to spend my time on that. Lots of other great stuff to spend my development time on ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
Sorry but,

If I want to spend my time in that, I do ! It's logical no?
[Wildfire Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Fair enough, I've been proven wrong and so I do apologize. I don't show much interest in ROMs myself, mainly because they are too complex sometimes to fix bugs.

I am a fifteen year old, know basic programming and can find obvious errors in code.

however i'll test it

ehi guy, there is a problem with the .zip file, pls re-uppload because the file is broken. I downloaded for 2 time and said the same, file corrupted, pls re-up
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
If wifi is fixet than this ics rom will be greath.

This ROM, does it have fixes for the Atmel LCDs? Or Synaptics only? And compared to KeiranFTW's what works and what doesn't?

why in your zip there isn't the kernel folder, only to understand the difference

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

aaaaaaaaaa finally, i'm seeing ICS on my phone *_* :D thanks guys

3 thinks:

1)softkey?

2)setting/date e time/select time zone: i can't change

3)touch can be better ;)

however in the other ROM they said that they can call, and in this? why i don't see the signal?
[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
Why no softkey: the touchbutton are working instead of the home button.

Time: I will see, I have never change the date (and I must do it)

Touch: it's kernel of Keiran and I find the touchscreen ok without any problems.

Keiran set the kernel in a kernel folder and I want to set it in a boot.img. I think there isn't a difference.

For the signal, I don't see signal too. But on my HD2, I don't see the signal too, but I can call on the Wildfire it's the same.

Test it !

Thanks to give me al the problems :)
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
Wifi bt and gps notwork

Sound notwork and no signal.
[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
Wifi => I have already say that.

Sound works in call

Signal => do a call to your messenger or something else. It works by me. (the signal icon is the same if you have much signal or not much, watch the HD2 or other phne)
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
I see no signal
[Wildfire Android Development] Karting06:
ARE YOU READING MY COMMENTS OR NOT ?

Make a call and then you see. Make it on a place where you can call normally. I have called now and it works okay ??????

You are talkin nonsense , it worked for me even in v1 by keiran~~ .Something go wrong with your rom and don't try to destroy other's i think you are trying to do this .

This is only for DEV so it mean that not much work ,install CM7 or some sense rom and don't talk nonsesne anytime
[Wildfire Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Agreed.

Wifi will never work because of the different wifi chips with the hero and eris against the wildfire, the hero and eris use wlan.ko while the wildfire uses bcm4329.ko
[Wildfire Android Development] Formiak:
So maybe it should be built from source ?
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
Iam dont try to destroy i only want to use this rom and that ican call but you say it works but for my it dont work and ihave tryid 8 times.
[Wildfire Android Development] Formiak:
First of all You need to learn a bit of english ,that's for sure ,then you can speak out !

If something doesn't work for you You post it one TIME ,not 1000 times !
[Wildfire Android Development] kaassaus:
Formiak

For my it never works do you think i wanna destroy this rom?

Than you are stuppid sorry if i say that but i only want to make calls and thats for importent so iam going back to cm7.

Goodbye
[Wildfire Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yeah, but for those who don't have the ICS source for wildfire (everyone except arco), I have a little idea :D
[Wildfire Android Development] MattDN93:
What would that idea be?:)

Strange. By me it works. Idk what I can do for you Kaassaus.

It hasn't work my build of the Wildfire. So what is your idea Keiran.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek88:
Hello everyone,

I noticed that at night when I have a black background i can see dark spots that make you notice the color is not uniform.

This defect occurs when all these conditions are verified:

- Completely dark room and eyes accustomed to the darkness for a few minutes

- Completely black screen (like the one in the test screen by typing *#0*#)

- Minimum brightness (but can be seen even at maximum brightness).

In practice, you see lots of little dots of different sizes and shapes, always black as the background, but not the rest of the uniform color (as if they were the signs of glue that is below).

During the day with light are virtually invisible, at night using it would not normally notice, but as soon as the screen remains black for a few seconds (for example when loading a video from youtube), here they are appearing and are really annoying.

I got my phone last week, I would still be time to ask to replace it, but I'm afraid it's a problem of all devices and maybe even put the risk of receiving a worse one (with dead pixels, circles on the screen, etc.).

Someone else has ever noticed these spots? If you have not noticed could you do a test under the conditions that I outlined above?

To understand whether it is a problem of all (in which case I would avoid to let me change) or just mine.

I still have 2 days to apply for replacement, thanks!!

P.S: sorry for my bad english ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeq544:
Same on mine, and a lot of them... not really visible that much only with blank black screen... and sincerely when do you use your phone with nothing on the display ?

Im pretty sure those are manufacturing imperfections in the amoled production process and we cant do anything about it, im pretty sure all phones have it to some extent.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IroniX2:
Same here... I think that its bet to just get used to it, that what i did anyway..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elee888:
Yes, I have the same problem too! Just got the white version of this phone. I also noticed that mine looks like there's a small fingerprint smudge underneath the glass. These don't bother me, but what really bugs me is this faint faded line that runs up and down the screen. It looks like burn-in or something. I can't see it unless I'm playing a certain video with gray backgrounds. Should I swap it out or keep it? The one I have now has no dead pixels, but I'm afraid the new one would... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek88:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergoosepro:
same with mine..its a flaw by samsung. unequal distribution of glue to stick the glass and capacitive layer
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al3xxxinho:
Same here ...

At first I was a bit worried because I also have an LG Optimus SOL E730 with amoled, and it does not suffer from this problem.

So, the only thing that comes to my mind, is that samsung did a crappy job on this phone.

One more thing: When the screen is black, the LG appears as if it's turned off, the Samsung, on the other hand, is a little lit.

Hi there - it might be a bit of stupid question but I need to ask.

So here is my dilemma - I've been using HTC since ever - I mean for the last like 10 years and I`m really used to customizing it and stuff.

Now I like HTC because I can develop for them hack them play with bootloaders etc. I dont want a smart phone because of the phone I want it because I can develop for it.

Now I`m planning to get this new samsung phone because it is the most powerful one that I`ve found - I wanted EVO 3d but this one seems better. So my question is - is there as much development and stuff for samsung android phones as there is for HTC ?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
Considering it is a Nexus, yes. Check the Nexus S and Nexus One threads, and you'll see lots of developing and lots of breakthroughs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
the answer is simple

if you already have a better device like SGS2 or HTC Amaze don't bother

if you have a lower hardware, then it's a fine sidegrade to the GN (galaxy nexus)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
Agreed if you already have a pretty good Ex Evo 3D, Galaxy S II Line I would see no update but if you are on a phone "that no longer supports newer version sof things" like HTC says about most of their pre sense 3.0 devices (-_-)

I see no reason NOT to upgrade to the Nexus Pri- Galaxy Nexus, you are guarantied updates as they come out and since it is a developer phone it will have a lot of support
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sambwel:
I don't know if it is worth

Maybe look at Samsung forums here to see develops

Then you know, if it is worth..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mishooo:
Thanks a lot - yeah i have wildfire and it doesn't support anything :D

so I guess I`ll be getting this one when it comes out - btw is SGS 2 better - I think this one is the best for processing power for now (i mean the Galaxy nexus)

1 - Thanks for killing "out of Topic" thread on the GSII forum :/.

2 - I find the screen on the new Galaxy Nexus to be the major selling point for me. The WVGA resolution blows on the GSII, although Super Amoled Plus is absolutely beautiful.
