I don't see any lag in that video. Engadget had a hands on and said it was the bees knees speed wise. I'll be picking one up upon release.

"The 1.2GHz dual-core processor was startlingly fast. It actually felt a wee bit quicker than our Galaxy S II, and given that Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus were apparently built for one another, we're assuming there's some deeply ingrained optimizations to thank. Swiping from pane to pane was faster than its ever been on Android, and the new Roboto font actually is super eye-pleasing. " -Engadget
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toss3:
Could be that the videos that are misleading, but to me it looks very much like the SGS 2 with the UI lagging a bit behind the actual finger. Some might not notice it, but once you have used an iPhone 4/4S for a longer period you will see it.

Benchmarks will naturally be much faster on a device with a third of the amount of pixels.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPwn_:
Or they'll naturally be even faster on a device running a faster GPU with a third of the pixels. They didn't even use the OMAP 4470 with the SGX 544. I was seriously hoping for the 2nd gen Exynos 4212 (not the 4210 in the GS2)...which is almost on par with the A5 graphically.

Can't wait to see how poorly the 540 performs even at 384 MHz at 1280x720. It's double the clock speed from the 200MHz Nexus S but is also pushing triple the pixels. I suppose the improved memory bandwidth from dual channel LPDDR2 will help, but not by much.

Apple is equally stupid. They added the monster A5 to their devices yet kept the resolutions the same. While Google added an insane resolution but a terrible graphics processor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GChaosG:
And from your worthless fact that says the Galaxy Nexus has 921600 pixels, it actually doesn't,

the Hd Super Amoled display utilizes Pentile Matrix much like the Galaxy S (one) increasing the theoretical size of each pixel.

i would like to download and app from the market but it says not available in your country.

can someone help me by uploading it here or via pm or email. if its free of course i don't know if it is or not cause it wont let me get that far.

the app is called clipfish. its a german app i believe. id like to listen and watch to music and videos from another country and this app seems right up my Alley.

if anyone could help that'd be great! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apamuc:
I'm not sure but if copyright of this App is ON maybe you can't install it, anyway search for "MarketEnabler" application in the market. (I can't post link's because I'm new and I need at least 8 post's)

I personally never try it but i read a good stuff for it.

I found it when i search for a same problem with my app in the market, but my issue was that it was filtered for the developer device and i didn't check it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitrus:
OK I will give this a try. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apamuc:
Hope it will work.

Post a reply if it's OK,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitrus:
Nope it didn't work. But I see market enabler being useful in the future. Thanks for that! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitrus:
Just read the comments for that enabler app. Some people are saying that it doesn't work with market v3.2 which is what I'm using. So I'll wait and see if it gets updated.

There are 2 apps with Market Enabler name (with space and without a space between 2 words)

there are comments since few days where is written that it works with market v3.2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitrus:
I have tried both now and this one does work better but still it doesn't allow me to get the app. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMcConnell:
Is the app perhaps available on other markets? I know AndroidPit and AndroidTapp are both making their own, there was another one too, they are springing up all over the place.

What app is it out of interest?

I am rooted. It still doesn't work for me. I've tried to use it in as many variations as I can think.

I'm thinking since it is a German app for German music, videos, etc. That its all copyrighted specifically to Germany. Which makes me sad. :(

Hi guys,

Does anybody knows where is the menu button in ICS... it looks it has 3 button, back, home and multitask...

I hope that the menu won't be in each app becasude that will mean no old app until huge upgrade...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
They said the buttons change as you need then I'm sure a menu button will pop up if needed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endr1:
Yes but I saw all the videos and sometimes 3 dots appear next to the multitask button but is not clear if that is the menu button or what it does. I think they should have left multitask to the longpress home and give us a menu button always there... It will be a pain in the ass for older apps and for cooking. For now this is a fail as for the absence of smart dialing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vess_csm:
my questions is this -> will it be able to remove the on screen buttons and use the hardware ones for older phones?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loganmc10:
Nonono, the way it works (based on my understanding and playing with the 4.0 emulator) is this:

On a device with no hardware buttons (Galaxy Nexus):

Menu button shows up if the app has a menu (makes sense)

On a device with hardware buttons (most devices):

Soft keys don't show up, multitasking comes up by long-pressing home button (confirmed in emulator)

That's how it works I believe

The soft-keys don't show up in the emulator because it's emulating a device with hardware keys

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

The one big UI change you could make to your apps to really take advantage of 4.0 is adding an Action Bar to your app (they demonstrated this in the Gmail app I believe).

No action would be needed to support regular menus though
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andr3wD:
What about the search button? :( I always use it. sigh.

And I'm guessing on older phones, they can access the multitask menu by holding down home?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Question - I installed the ICS SDK and was trying to tinker with it to make the soft buttons appear, but it's not happening. What settings do you use for an instance of the emulator to force the soft buttons to exist?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AfzalivE:
How'd you get the emulator to show the soft buttons?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marty331:
I have not figured out how to get the soft buttons to appear, the emulator still shows the hard buttons from previous versions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
How? if older apps have Menu button functionality, the Menu button will appear. Not really that hard to understand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] substance12:
they should do away with the menu button. i've personally found the best apps don't utilize it or utilize it very little. the more you have to dig into menus and settings the worse it is for user experience. if i recall, the new native google apps have the equivalent menu function in the top right corner. iOS apps essentially have the settings button in the same spot too. if ICS is all about UI and user experience, we need to see some consistency. for non-native android users, the menu button is not intuitive.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilesian:
long press

does the soft keys have long press ?? if yes may be long press on multi task button gives u menus
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipito31:
Hey guys,

I guess this question is answered with this video ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
...

And what video might that be?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhfd64:
Why should they do away with the menu button? Who cares if it's not intuitive for non-native Android users? Why take the menu button and all of the options that come with it away from the people who are smart enough to use it because some people aren't smart enough to use it? The people who don't know it's there wouldn't know any difference in the first place if it was done away with. The rest of us would.

Has anyone figured anything else out about this now that there are videos everywhere? I still haven't seen any evidence that the menu button exists. Google added the menu button to all of their apps, are all the other apps left out?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endr1:
I totally agree. I love the menu button and I **** on iOS...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codedog:
On HoneyComb the menu button appears in the on screen system bar if the minSdkVersion < 11. If I set the minSdkVersion="11" to get the holo theme, the menu button disappears. Could be the same for Ice Cream Sandwich.

What I don't like about the hardware menu button is that you never know if there actually is a menu available in the app until you press it. With the options menu on-screen you can instantly see that options are available.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strafholm:
Same here. Please don't take away my options. No need for android to play to the lowest common denominator. iOS already does that and that's part of the reason I don't use it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spl4tt:
i definitely want to know where the menu button is too.

on honeycomb it just appears if there is a menu, but i didnt really like that..

thats a stupid change in my opinion :/

it would be nice if the menu appears when you longpress the multitask button though..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalingrin:
I think the menu button design before honeycomb was objectively bad.

For instance, some apps have no need for a menu button but you don't know that until you actually press the button.

How many people, even experienced users, know where the wifi sleep policy setting is?

I can't count how many times I've had to tell people where to find it.

I say good riddance to the hardware menu button.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryptonx:
Dear all,

Before I started a new thread, I just wanted to tell you that I've been awake for over 14 hours Starting to fix issues with my phone and tried alot of things before resorting to starting a new thread,So Please excuse me for starting one :)

Here's the long one :

Got a Galaxy S as A Present, after an Iphone 3GS, phone is great .. was a branded vodafone one I think from Germany running Android 2.2.1 I think back then.

As am Egyptian I wanted to the phone to read arabic fonts,So I decided it to flash with the Official Android 2.3.3 Arabic version.

Flashing went perfect, everything is smooth and all is very cool started to love the phone.

I dont have an external SDcard this is the internal one btw.

after a few months, a Friend challenged me that he's blackberry would boot faster than an android.

I was intrigued ! So I turned off my phone, turned it back on (I think this was the first time I do it since I flashed it) the phone kept rebooting !

and after like rebooting 10-12 times ... it finally booted correctly (5-6 minutes)

I said something must be wrong with the Firmware I flashed, but Ignored it as the phone worked perfectly after this.

a few days ago it died on battery, charged it ... reboot loop !

I found a hundred of thousands of guides on how to fix that boot loop !

I was getting errors :

e:failed to mount /sdcard (file already exists)

e:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard

your storage not prepared yet.please use ui menu for format and reboot actions

meida files copy failed.

after going into recovery mode and trying to wipe data, these above errors always showed.

So I found a guide that suggests flashing with a 3-file ROM (Phone/Modem/CSC) and re-partition would fix this.

So I flashed with the official 2.3.3 (unmodified) and the errors disappeared, phone works perfectly ! although everything is erased of course.

So after setting it up again I thought that I should test restarting it again..

so I did .... and there it goes .. went on Looping again !!!

I went into recovery mode ... same errors appeared again ...

Re flashed 3 files again ... works fine ... restart = loop !

although one time it looped a few times and it did boot at the end, the SDcard (internal one) can be formatted without errors, never had any writing issues so I dont think its corrupted or anything.

But now I can't let the phone reboot or die on battery without flashing it again .. as if its a TETHERED jb iphone !

any suggestions ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Please try doing as follows:

1. Flash a Kernel with lag-fix support like Voodoo which I can recommend in this case.

2. After flashing the Kernel the phone should boot and the converting of the partitions from RFS to EXT4 will begin, let it be until the phone reboots to the user interface.

3. Turn the phone off and enter Download-mode and re-flash the device using the firmware of your choice and a different pit file of that that is used on your phone (use 512.pit if it's on 803.pit or 803 if it's on 512), you need to use pit and you need to check re-partition.

4. Do a factory reset from recovery after completing the first boot, you need to let the phone boot all the way to user interface then do a factory reset after turning it off.

I hope that this will fix the issue that you are having, good luck and let us know how it goes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryptonx:
I will try it right away, Thanks a lot for your time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryptonx:
Well I don't know what to do now!

before flashing the kernel you suggested, the phone died on battery so I had to charge it, opened it .. boot looop .. so I said am going to do the same thing I used to do the past few days .. flash with the official 2.3.3 (3 files flash) and repartition.

Apparetly that doesn't cut it anymore, I tried DarkysRom as well, I still get the same error now :

e:failed to mount /sdcard (file already exists)

e:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard

your storage not prepared yet.please use ui menu for format and reboot actions

meida files copy failed.

Can't get past it, and of course the phone keeps on boot looping if I ignored it :(

Am I beyond repair ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryptonx:
ok after a few reboots, the phone booted correctly, is there's anything to do after it booted ? its on the 2.3.3 now, should I try to update from sdcard thing ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You don't have a problem with the SD-Card, the problem is with the Kernel not able to mount partitions /data and /dbdata it's why you get those loops, that can happen if there is errors on these spaces and there journals which are located on these partitions.

My advice regarding flashing a costume Kernel and converting to EXT4 is to format these partitions and wipe all these errors, then flashing back to a firmware using pit and reparation should give you a clean firmware install with no errors.

You can try to turn off the phone and power it up again and see if it boots as it should, if not then some of the partitions still does not mount correctly.

You don't have to worry about the device, flashing and re-flashing it will not break it, it's a very solid phone, just be careful and you will be fine.

Always flash when the device has enough battery power (50%-100%)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryptonx:
Ok I've got the voodoo fix but its for 2.2 not 2.3 .. (Vooodo 5.5 ) there's a beta (Voodoo 6.0) for 2.3

I tried flashing 5.5 this morning to the current rom, it still kept on rebooting but it took along time to do so .. (long time between reboots).

So I thought of getting a rom with voodoo built in .. so I got the DarkySrom Resurrection 10.2 and after flashing .. it still went into constant loops..

I have a few things that I didn't try yet, I will post with updates, thanks again for ur time.

Try to change to another font than Roboto or standard. And then back to Roboto again, for me it is working that way. The only issue I have is that the clock at the top bar is slightly cut of at the last digit.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lonndoggie:
Well, it does, if all goes well. It worked for me. Here's the full sequence of events:

1. Download the apk, either onto your computer then transfer onto your SD card, or directly via your phone's web browser.

2. Run the APK (make sure you have install from unknown sources enabled under settings->applications). To run it, use something like Astro file manager, navigate to the apk on your sd card, and click on it; select install from the menu that pops up.

3. Once installed, go to settings->display->font style and select Roboto.

I had some nutty looking font installed prior, so the change was obvious--and I'm pretty sure it is different, but it's subtle. The "o"'s are a little rounder with roboto than the default font, for example.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zengeist:
Can someone post an image of Roboto actually working? I think that this APK is just a modified Helvetica (e.g. Samsung's default font).

If you look at Roboto, you'll notice the distinct Rs and the rounded C. Also, the Number 1 has a very strong slant on the top. All of my other FlipFonts work fine.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vUksi:
I've tried and it looks like nothing it should look like.
