oh its happening January/feb 2012 official non official any day now ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hal.jordan:
January is close enough for a belated Christmas present in my book. I'm chomping at the bit to get a working ics on my phone.

Though, for me, working means calls, sms, 3g/h+, wifi, and maybe bluetooth.

Life would be so much simpler if the phones weren't locked down by samsung AND at&t.

As it stands we have to wait for google to release code, samsung to bloat it up with their horrifying touchwiz, then they pass it on to at&t to get locked down, barred up, and filled with more bloatware 90% would rather do without.

By the time at&t approves a release of ics, it's gonna be 3 versions behind the nexus phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
I hear that. Waiting on AT&T, AFTER Sammy, just doesn't seem like a good strategy, especially after seeing how the Nexus is performing in benchmarks like Quadrant.

I, personally, am just going to keep sampling the different ROMs that our magnificent devs keep churning out and use what I like best. I have no faith in the carriers or ODMs to do what is best for us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
So very true. Sadly..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drache713:
I'll be interested to see how they integrate ICS and Touchwiz 4.0. But I agree, I'm still going to stick with custom roms also. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
I am taking my SGSII back this week. I bought a Nexus S outright, because as nice as this phone is, I want my upgrades available for the SIII or GN. So, I will have a choice, but I will still probably stick with custom ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
You guys need to be patient. This generation is full of people "I WANT NAO NAO NAO!!"

We'll see ICS getting released next month or January. The GSII was Samsung's best selling android phone to date - they will not leave it in the dust also considering it's still far ahead of the curve spec-wise.

And for the guy getting a Nexus S - that was a stupid move. You just went back in time for a flipping software update? Like I said, patience is a virtue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iFalcon:
PM Sent to you. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
I went "back in time" for no such thing. I burned an early upgrade for the 4s/SGSII, and decided I would wait for the quad-core phones to use my full upgrade (Still within 30 days on SGSII). The SGSII is nice, but I didn't want it for 2 years. I needed a replacement for the 4 I sold when I upgraded, wasn't about to go back to a 3Gs, and got the NS for less than what I sold my 4 for on Ebay. I would have thought staying with Android would have been applauded.

This IS being patient.

did you take the time to google galaxy s II cyanogenmod 9? lol

Here's the posting from the site they set up at www.sgs2ics.com

Ok, seems like the project is not 100% dead. Netchip told me that he was still working on the port, but for galaxy note, which has similar hardware. When this port will be stable enough, we will be able to port the build to SGS II. Thanks for those who helped and those who are able to be patient enough to wait for this.

---

Project (AOSP) is dead for now. CM9 isn't. We will be back with a 100% AOSP experience after Official Samsung ICS release or a leak

Despite all the drama that has happened, including the change in how development

was done (from open to closed), as well as the "leak" of a build under another

build.prop fingerprint without the agreement of the project members, I have

decided to drop a note to update everyone on our progress.

The work done over the last 2 weeks was incredible. It first started with a small,

robust team of developers. We then merged with much more experienced developers

from TeamHackSung. The size of our development team has increased but development

will still be closed due to some good reasons. Devs such as codeworkx, nebkat,

xplodwild, netchip and yjwong (Everyone working in the team is awsome !) have spent countless hours working

on the port and they would appreciate the patience of everyone while everything

is being resolved.

Also, don't expect to have any answer about the build that was leaked. We will

not provide any support for it; neither do we need any feedback about it. Let

the issue die a (slow) death. We do hope to have a stable ICS build for SGS II

soon. Asking irrelevant quetions about the leaked build will only cause the

development to be slower. The IRC channel is still online, but please make no

mention about the leaked build.

Thanks for being patient. A build is coming for sure. I don't know when (asking

for ETA on IRC will get you banned) but I know it will come. Thanks for your

understanding!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
it will happen both official and CM, im saying CM9 the latest by january and official about the same time, only difference will be touch wiz or not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
I'm looking for the official build w/ touchwiz. I'll remove all of the touchwiz so that it feels like aosp ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jra89027:
well actually the source code has already been released...cm team said they will have an alpha sometime early next year
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
isnt the Nexus S already running an Alpha?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
Yes, Koush has CM9 Alpha 11 available for the NS, but it is more of a vanilla ICS and definitely an Alpha. I'm pretty sure it is based on the 2.6.35 kernel, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
GTG just posted this little gem of a video a bit ago....

http://youtu.be/vL9Mpc2o-6k

Looks like CM has been hard at work for sure.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Agreed and it seems to be in fine working order, one can only hope it comes out soon!!

Looks great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Russellmania:
Looks great! My only hope is that it won't be too hard to run the stock dialer with ICS, as I like it quite a bit.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] praneeth03:
Does any one even know if we are going to get it from AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] androidobsessed:
to be honest I personally hardly even care, I mean I'm pretty sure it would help smooth out some kinks especially with the 3.x kernel (but that would really be a plus for the developers, not me)- which apparently isnt operational?- but at this point/rate I'm just excited to see the CM9 release coming out alpha pretty soon.

I would likely never have used an OTA update from AT&T anyway, like I would imagine most xda users would stand by the devs here and all the rooted goodness theyve brought thus far
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
Still, it is nice to have the choice. The carriers should support customers for the entirety of their contracts so long as Google makes updates available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
No offense but that is called myth. I learned my lesson with tmo galaxy tab and I no longer care abt carrier - I rooted and flahed miui in less than 30 min after receiving s2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
Oh, I know it is, which is why I flash. I am saying we should have the choice between custom and AOSP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Another happy AT&T customer heard from lol...

I'm with you, they are brutal when it comes to this very subject.. When I bought my GS2 I said I wouldn't root it but here I am looking to do it asap, ICS is a big reason, lord knows we won't get it from AT&T for probably a year but here we'll get it in I imagine a few weeks :)

What would be the advantage of flashing ICS when it's available, vs flashing the current stock rom to something like Unamed, Miui etc. What would be the advantage to using it vs a custom rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Globalrebel:
Just wondering, since the latest build of ICS for the AT&T is using the 2.6.35.14 (from previous video), will the GSII even be able to use the ICS GPU acceleration or does ICS require its new Kernal to operate with that function.

The video seemed much FASTER then our current roms available, but I was just wondering if my thought process is correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Video?? I must be missing something here, which video are we referring to??

Hardware defect.

But doesn’t make sense to setup buildbot for cm7 now and revert it in a few weeks to do cm9 builds.

Waste of time.

Maybe I'm reading too much in to this, but did he just sort of reveal that CM9 nightlies may begin in a couple of weeks? Regardless if I'm right or wrong this sounds like positive news!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gary86:
Same here...how do nighties work? Do you have to manually flash the new ROM everyday or do they auto update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thephoneguyusa:
You have to flash them every day but no wipe is required unless it is a huge update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coreyjm:
Nightlies are builds/ROMs that get built by a buildbot very night with the very latest code. You have to flash manually, but you can register for updates through ROM manager, and get the notification to download and install the new update. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ChocolateSnow:
if anything I'd prefer to at least wait for a RC from CM9 as most nightlies are highly unstable and could destroy your device from what I hear (unless you dont mind that kind of thing of course)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jirv311:
This is incorrect. No amount of nightlies would "destroy your device". And most nightlies are plenty stable. You heard wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Yep, thats the one :)

Thank You
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shinji257:
Personally I'd like to see an Official ICS. Not just ones from unofficial channels like CM9 although it's not that I mind or anything. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] demon9206:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] bbm21:
i wiped a bunch of stuff in recovery thinking it wouldnt be bad as long as i flashed a rom right after (which i did) but it wouldn't boot

tried plugging it into a computer but it isnt recognized by adb or fastboot... please help

it boots into fastboot and says somthing about webtop

edit: yes i am dumb sorry wrong section didnt mean to mods please move
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Be more specific please. You wiped stuff in CWM recovery or Stock recovery?

(You don't have to flash a ROM after wiping, stock will just reload itself upon boot)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bbm21:
ya wiped everything in CWM (except sd card) i got it recognized by fastboot but it says low battery and wont flash and i cant get it to charge
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Similar things have happened to me. Have you pulled and replaced the battery, then let it charge a while before trying to power on? That usually does it for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Power off, then plug into a wall charger. That should still charge it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bbm21:
ok i did this and fastboot screen came up (still with battery low) ill just leave it chargeing for a while i guess
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bbm21:
I've tried charging it many different wats and no luck... I guess its bricked
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Uh....don't ya think you can just get a new battery? Duh lol

If this happened to the new Nexus or the Razr, yep its a brick (they don't have external batteries)

But yeah, just get another battery. Or A batter charger that doesnt require the battery to be in the phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Nexus has a removable battery.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
The teamblackhat app has an option to make a copy of your img files (the files that SBF flashes onto your device). This makes it so you can SBF without a computer at all, its all straight from the phone.

Only if you break into the casing. The back isnt meant to snap on and off.

Hi,

i want know if it's necessary to update Busybox for OB after rooting ? And if not necessary, can i make this, and what are the news ?

Thanks :)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Busybox already installed by rooting, and it depends of what you need. Perhaps you are a developer to trying script or command. For me, I'm not updating busybox.

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
You can update it via Busybox Installer via Market. It will give you lists from newest (update) to old. So you can Update or go back to previous.

Same as updating CWM and Superuser, fixed bugs if there's any.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
no need.

Sent from my LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] Maneth:
But if i update it, does it bricked my phone ? Or remove my root access ?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
It doesn't needed. But if you want it, then try it.. It won't bricked your phone or removed root...

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] Maneth:
In fact, i want to update it because one of my application say me that it could better works if busybox was updated !
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Well, that'd should be update because you need it...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DevinLeFevere:
THIS IS NOT MINE. THIS IS NOT MINE. I'm just reposting this for anyone who has missed this including myself. I flashed the Galaxy S2 zip #78 and everything is working great on CM7. For the modded Google Music check out post #33.

Looks like you will lose ROOT. Seems as though this isn't currently polished for us yet. i9000 has zero problems.

Links taken down. For anyone having trouble just wipe dav and cache and re-flash CM7. Sorry for the problems. This isnt ready just yet.

Mod please remove.

I wonder if i'm on the phone, will I still be able to navigate with out a 4g connection
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
It still works. All Android phones still navigate while on a call. You'll just hear the voice in the background for example say "turn left".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
as long as you use offline maps GPS apps, even if you lose data connection, you can still navigate
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] narcopolypse:
Allow me to go a little further in depth.

An offline GPS navigation app will work all the time because it has the map database stored on your SD card. Google Maps Navigation pulls it's data from the inter-tubes so it requires a data connection to

start

navigation. Once it starts it will pre-cache the route so it doesn't matter if you loose your connection during navigation. There is an exception to this however. Google added a new option recently. Long-press on the map and there is now an option to save that region of the map. My phone currently has the entire Salt Lake valley saved and in addition to working without a data connection, I'm not burning through more of my ridiculously small 5GB limited "Unlimited" data plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Aaron636r:
Make sure you go into "Labs" in Google Maps to turn this function on. Does work very well though.

[Android Apps and Games] swee08315:
I'm pretty sure it hasn't been ported to any other roms and requires the miui framwork therefore you have to be on miui to use it.

If you still want to try, just download the rom, extract it on your desktop, and find the apk from somewhere inside, then install it on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] nieves53:
I'll post the apk in a few. I'm using miui 2.3.5 make sure you cipy the apk to system/app folder with a root file explorer and also fix the permission like this rw-r--r-- then reboot

Hi,

Anyone suggests worth buying Xperia Mini (not x10 mini) over the X10i, ignore the size of screen, apart from that its much cheaper and seems like everything may be more than x10i.

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
There is tons of development.

Plus they hacked true multitouch.

The mini has a lot going on

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

Actually now that I'm looking you mean a different phone.

Yes it is much much better in every possible way.

www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini-3947.php
[XPERIA X10 General] iphysal:
thanks for the comment... i actually lost my x10i (as you can see from my signature ...)

so now i was looking to buy something cheaper, was looking any second hand x10i and new x8, but yesterday sahibunlimited mentioned here that i shud go for

xperia mini, seems like the same processor as Arc, and lot of stuff and right true multi touch not dual touch....

was wondering anyone used it...
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Way more ram too...

Go read the reviews, they are very good.
[XPERIA X10 General] iphysal:
yep reading the reviews, all sounds amazing on paper and technical comparison...but has anyone used it..how is battery life, any lag as it comes with 2.3.4 i guess..??
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I'm using a phone with the same cpu/gpu and believe me that phone will destroy the x10 in every way.

You will realize how badly the x10 lags once you try that out
[XPERIA X10 General] iphysal:
ok, sounds like a nice option to go for and cheaper as well.... everything i heard is great .. and thats with stock rom the performance you are talking about..??

only concern i have is the battery life, some reviews have suggested very terrible... but not sure as different people have different use...
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Just in general..

Even at it's fastest the x10 is very laggy.

The battery life can't possibly be worse than x10 lol
[XPERIA X10 General] iphysal:
LOL on x10i battery life... agreed, can't be worse than that...

gutted that i lost my x10i as i eventually found a combination of wb6 rom and addons to make it as fast as possible and good battery life...

but i guess i shud go for xperia mini now...

stupid of SE to name it so similar and just loose the x10... even many searches on amazon or review sites bring x10 mini when you type for xperia mini... two totally different phones altogether, could be xperia mini 2.. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
You get 1ghz scorpion cpu "just as the arc"

And a adremo 205 gpu "just as the arc"

Multitouch

where as the x10i has 1ghz snapdragon and a adreno 200 gpu.. the 205 gpu is 4 to 5 times faster..
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Told ya xperia mini will be better...

Screen size is bigger of x10 but xperia mini have 16m colours and true multitouch...
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
get an x10 if you want to hate your phone
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
And xperia mini also have official cyanogenmod avaliable now!!

Dude, who did your x10 kill?
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I'm giving an honest answer...

if you got it now it would be terrible

I'm not going to lie and say it's amazing.

The xperia mini is much better, there is no contest even.
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
There is a difference of a year in technology. No one in right mind will even think to compare both lol.

Just like you don't expect your Incredible S to be as good as SGS II ;) jk
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Oh for sure!

I don't claim it to be at all.

It's in the same category as the arc, etc...

Still I traded my x10 for it,good upgrade I think.

I can save my real contract upgrade for when something mindblowing comes out.
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I know a Guy bought mini and sold his x10 and he is very happy with doomkernel 1.9 Ghz

All latest gameloft games like 9mm officially supported and my favorite asphalt 6 works on it...
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Yeah this CPU/gpu is awesome..

I really want to try the adreno 220.
[XPERIA X10 General] iphysal:
many thanks to all you guys.... seems like a nice option to go.. will go with it then...

cheers everyone
[XPERIA X10 General] iphysal:
Just when i thought everything is OK, i found these:

http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/111234

pretty recent comments, seems like Xperia mini suffering from over heating problem....

Do we have any user of xperia mini in this forum, who can share there experience, it seems this overheating is xperia mini problem and not xperia mini pro ???
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
That plagues all se phones man...

X10 runs very hot, arc runs so hot the body cracks.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Disable 3G seems to be a issue concerning most phones.

3G radio's generate allot of heat and are the first largest consumer of energy next to the screen and rest of the cpu chipset.

The x10 was not built with low signal issue's in mind... the i-phone 4 got away with it.. the x10 line got away with it.

Radio technology has yet to develop to such point that it is efficient enough not to waste so much energy by having to severely boost the signal for 3G operation.

The x10 should have had a larger cell.. it would have sorted out allot of issue's.

As the 1.5A cell and charging circuit was unable to handle the torture of not being able to supply sufficient power to deal with the low signal issue's.

There by leading to heat, the mysterious burnt smell and destroyed USB connectors.

I rest my case.
