I think the within weeks is gonna start soon :) www.androidpolice.com/2011/12/02/go...on-their-nexus-s-phones-dogfooding-has-begun/
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Can't wait!
[Nexus S General] sspikey:
I find it stupid that I bought this phone specifically to be the first in line to get the OS released and I still have to wait months after the source code is compiled to get it.

Thank you coders for your work and allowing me to run ICS flawlessly!
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
when you compare yourself to the other phones, you find that you are way ahead of others.
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
You are the first in the line. Apart from the Galaxy Nexus (obviouslly) tell me one device that will receive ICS first than the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] radianter:
week after week after week ...

come on google ...
[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
The NS *IS* first in line to get a OTA update. Every other phone will get it months after, if at all. While the unofficial ROMs are good enough they won't be as good as the official or the unofficial ones based on it.
[Nexus S General] Basche:
this will probably be a christmas gift from Google lol
[Nexus S General] punwik:
The ICS roms coming out right now are pretty bad ass considering. I use AOSP's ICS rom V19 as my daily and it is super smooth. I think Google will have it out by Xmas but in the meantime we have some cool **** to play around with.

Thanx Devs
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Lol, come back 4 weeks+ after the Galaxy Nexus has been officialy released in every country worldwide (yes, this isn't a simultanous worldwide release) before you moan.

It's not like Google said the NxS will get the update after the release of the GN source code.
[Nexus S General] Lzryde:
I am excite.
[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
Your excite? HAHAHA
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
I would want a finished and polished OTA instead of a google employee image.

It sucks we have to wait but it would definitely suck more to have bugs in a rushed software release.

Best thing is to occupy myself with my ps3 for now and not even think about the update
[Nexus S General] :
I hope that was ironic.

In case it wasn't... Then it would be just sad.
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
I'm excite as well!

So much fail. :D

Seriously dude? I dont know whats more of a fail the fact that you're making fun of somebody's english in an international forum or that your english suck just about the same.

ON Topic anyone? Any news? :)
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
Miui is getting out an ics based rom soon! But still no news on the official ota! :( i went back to KeilLMSKings miui...

Sent from my Google Nexus S
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
Yeah...maybe we should all just stop now. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Matt Cutts (In charge of keeping spam out of search @ Google) said this "i think it won't be too long before it's released for the Nexus S i don't know the timeline" on This Week in Google #123 around 1:22:12... don't read too deep into this but hey its some hope lol.
[Nexus S General] petertakov:
How is "it won't be too long before" different from "in weeks" etc. undefined pseudo-information?
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Well it's from someone who said it without speaking to marketing department for one lol... and hearing it from non press source does give some hope to the annoying wait ;).
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
The last person that spoke about that kind of stuff w/o talking to PR/marketing first was fired, lol.

/EDIT: Talking about the M$ guy who rated a 3rd party phone (Nokia iirc) via Twitter.
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Well the catch is its basicly saying the same thing as in "within weeks" so its no saying anything new.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] plasco:
hi every one, first of all i want to excuse for my poor english, i usually speak french.

i ve bought a used verizon htc touch pro 2 in ivory coast (africa) and i tried to put it in french but i made a mistake, instead of using rhodium hspl i used raphael one. after this my phone turn off and don't turn on again. i send it to a repairman, he makes my phone turning on but after installing rom, it shows "touch pro 2 " on the screen and nothing else. i can't do nothing.

please how can i repair it?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] plasco:
nobody wants to help me? pity please, I do not know what to do? as I said I was wrong I used to hspls hspls raphael instead of rhodium, my phone died and not turn on, no bootloader or hard reset possible. I therefore sent to a repairer who has restarted (tricolor screen), we therefore tried to install a rom, it installs correctly (100%) but when you start it it turns on but freezes on a black screen where it says touch pro 2 and vibrates, and nothing else after he stuck ainsi.que do? please help me.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] akwete:
Could it be your phone is now a brick? One of the risks of the flashing process is that it might render the phone useless (useful only as a paperweight or "brick".)

On a different note, how's good old Abidjan these days? 'used to live on Rue Des Jardins. 'was quite sad to see the city go up in flames. Adjame, Cocody, Riviera, Golf Hotel ... memories.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] scousemartin:
Do you know what network the phone was on originally? Maybe you need to flash the original operators rom to your device first then install hard spl after. If you can at least get into the bootloader (tri-coloor screen) then there is hope
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] plasco:
scousemartin thank you for your answer. verizon is at the origin. I installed the official verizon rom but nothing ever stuck on "touch pro 2", but I always screen lights. what to do now.

[Galaxy S II General] damirbusic:
What is so special about it ? Is it better than Cyanogen, Darky or CriskeloROM which I want to install ?

Tnx
[Galaxy S II General] wali01x:
so is this miui suppose to have no bugs at all i expect or ?? like all other miui something is missing video codecs, players, wifi, data or something something.. so whats good about this?? please specify so i can use it if its 100% otherwise id stick to original android.
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
omg awesome
[Galaxy S II General] mellll:
Try it. You will be blown away. Videos On youtube do it no justice.

Latest version, and official ROM is so good. Why don't you guys try it ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M
[Galaxy S II General] t0ph0id:
Shouldn't this be in the general forum if you're not actually developing it?
[Galaxy S II General] mellll:
Yeah Im just posting the news. Never been to the general forum part sorry and I didnt know.

Just wanted to fill people in!

So yes it should be moved to the SGS2 General forum :)
[Galaxy S II General] NeoS:
The link to the ROM you posted was from July 9th...

Anyways, moving this to General.
[Galaxy S II General] beaver2233:
The link is to the miuiandroid build, from the 21st, and that is not official?? I don't believe they are releasing the official until another 2 hours or so?
[Galaxy S II General] djbill2005:
I will try this great ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] beaver2233:
You'll have to wait 15mins for the official version... The one in this thread is not it and an old version
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Sorry but what's so special about this MIUI then, is it better than Stock ROM's?

why choose it over standard Android?
[Galaxy S II General] beaver2233:
It provides a totally different experience, visually...
[Galaxy S II General] agabey_42:
where is v1.10.28 link ???

pleaseeee
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I used to wonder the same myself. To me it just looked like Android with an iPhone interface.

However I tried it and found things like...

toggles in the notification screen (configurable)

battery stats that go into a LOT of detail (configurable)

full skinning that allows you to mix and match theme elements on the fly (configurable)

built in call/sms firewall (configurable)

built in application security w/password (configurable)

They're just off the top of my head. There's so much more that it does above and beyond regular Android. Other than the configurable toggles in the notification screen (swipe left/right from notifications to get to a full screen of toggles) I've not seen anything that you can't do with apps, but it's all there and all works together.

Also, in my opinion it has the best browser available for Android.

There's more, but I guess you're getting that it's very configurable :p
[Galaxy S II General] oyebto:
http://www.miui.com/development.html

this is the link to the download. but MIUI said on their fb they are uploading one by one and as of now the rom for s2 is still not up... =) fortunately i know a bit of chinese.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
its been there since coupla weeks if am not wrong. and yeah they have weekly releases.

as far the MIUI port and builds out for SGS2 , I have tried a few and the general thing is battery life is not as good as sammy ROMs, battery stats are totally wrong (its a known issue). FM and Bluetooth work now.
[Galaxy S II General] beaver2233:
You just got thanked! (accidentally)

The official rom is being released as we speak on the Chinese miui website... But that's in Chinese so we will all have to wait a day or 2 until miuiandroid translate it into english... But yes this is official support, and hopefully fixes alot compared to the .21 release...
[Galaxy S II General] safeelhd2:
The webiste is showing the S2 development rom for download. Only problem is, it doesnt give any info on installing this rom!

Does it have to be flashed via Odin?

ZIP placed on SD and Installed via CWM?

Do we Wipe any of the cache's?

Is data stored or everything deleted?

Anybody got the answer to these questions?
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
This alone puts me off straight away:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpsmithuk:
I've got a galaxy s2 from 02 and it is branded and running o2's flavour of software.

I've attached 2 screenshots to show the version I have.

Is it worth it for me to debrand, what would I realistically gain? I've looked through the forums and it seems there is newer generic firmware available. But there also seems to be mixed opinion as to weather it's worth upgrading. From what I can see I have 2.3.3 KF3 if that helps

It also appears that by flashing generic stock firmware via odin I will still be able to use kies so any future releases will download through kies using the firmware update feature?

Answers as always appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
IF you download, from here, the latest stock Samsung ROM, then you will be able to fool KIES into thinking that your phone is no longer an O2 SGSII but a unbranded one. Thus you will be able to get the next available update of the official stock ROM when it is released via KIES.

The most important feature is an improvement in battery life.

If you stick with the branded ROM, then you have to wait a few months for the stock update to be customised by the operator and released.

This is the most important: if you flash an unbranded ROM, then you have invalidated your phone's warranty. You can simply reflash the O2 branded ROM, again available on here, this will put you phone back in warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpsmithuk:
ok I see is there a link to the post that has the most recent fw? I will ofc check the dev forum stickies :) Many thanks for the swift reply and advice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Without a doubt, so many good custom roms available and more newer stock firmwares. You can undo everything so no need to worry about putting it back to stock o2 :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpsmithuk:
cheers

Yeah I think I'll flash to generic stock rom then take in the updates from sammy, I'm blown away with this phone as it is running stock roms.

Will wait for ICS to be available on a un-official rom before I debate custom roms,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stylee32:
As soon as I got my sgs2 from O2, I debranded it straight away
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpsmithuk:
Wow what a difference my phone is marginally faster one booted on 2.3.4 bootup is way quicker internet also seems faster.

Unlike X10i flashing new fw didn't basically factory reset the phone everything was as i left it bar the fw.

Had slight issue where it seemed to hang at the last big galaxy s screen for a minute or 2 when first booted but all phones seem to do this when flashed.

One question - my market hasn't changed os there a new one and should it automatically update?
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Hi guys.

I've been using the Elegance Theme by Erestor6 for some time now, but I find I would really like a white status bar.

So I went to the UOT Kitchen and designed my own.

It's not refined like the work of Erestor, but it will do for me.

Problem, in the first attached image you can see the result of my UOT kitchen mod.

It's nice but the default switch buttons don't fit.

In the second image you can see the wonderfull Erestor work.

I would like to have his switches and my status bar. How can I do that?

Also in the third image you can see a problem: whenever a phone call is started, the status bar turns black again. I suspect it's embedded in the dialer apk.

Can anyone help me in fixing these issues?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
the toggle buttons are stored in systemUI.apk, you have to change them manually, not with UOT

i uploaded the icons for you , you can exchange them with erestor ones and put em back in systemUI.apk ...
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Thanks, but yours are not the same as Erestor's.

But you pointed me in the right direction: I thought all these files were packed somehow, but looking in erestor's zip they are all there in plain site.

I can try a merge :)

Edit: I spoke too soon, the UOT zip is packed. They are already apk files.

How can I unpack them?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
yes, i know they are not same, just wanted to point you to this direction ...

just use winrar, winzip, 7zip or whatever to extract them :)
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
You mean an apk is just a zip???? :eek:

My gosh... couldn't believe it :eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
Yeah, that´s it ;)

just open it with winRAR, and drag new icons into it.

as long as if you don´t change xml files, you can just drag & drop :)
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Yes I noticed, thanks mate!!!

Now since I'm modding my phone, I tried modding the bootanimation.

I took the one I chose with the UOT, unpacked, modified the images, resaved, repacked and put it in my phone.

It doesn't work.

The images have the exact same dimensions and name, still the screen is black.

I used photoshop to save the PNGs.

What may be wrong?

One frame is attached below.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
I can tell you :

for bootanimation, it is necessary that you save the zip WITHOUT Compression after modding the images ! (not just drag & drop into zip file, this will use compression !)

you can choose that in winRAR for example, just use option : save

you can have a look at my bootanimation and check archive details ...

http://www.mediafire.com/75markus#r5ah69lj81ci8,1
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Ok thanks!

It's working :D

Now i have much more ram and phone is snappier also better battery life because no crap services is running in the background... U may get some temporary FC if u enter the settings menu of the deleted app and this is normal...

Hope this helps..

Kind Regards,
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
how much free ram do you have now?
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear nic85,

After a fresh flash of ThiaiZ v1.5.3 and removing the apps mentioned above gives me around 300 mb free RAM after boot and phone is really more faster since many services is not running now like fonts,OTA etc... Of course Free RAM is getting lower after installing some of my apps like beautiful widgets,twitcaster,friendcaster etc but RAM is much more than before...

Kind Regards,
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Well done Protochip.
[LG Optimus 3D] Jordibcn:
300 Mb Free !!! Wow! That's a massive amount of RAM :-) I'll try this. Thanks. This is a must have step.
[LG Optimus 3D] Nucleardwarf:
I still have around 200 mb left..

Using thiaiz rom, V6 supercharger with the 7th setting and nothing really special installed on the phone..

Any advice?
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear nucleardwarf,

Not with the scripts... After fresh flash of rom and removing all these gives u around 300 mb... With scripts and amany installed apps, i get around 270 mb after close all... whats app, my data manager, messaging is running in the background and some system services... I use go launcher and use its feature to close all running...

P.s. Have u removed all the apps from /system/app/ regarding to my list in the second post?

Kind regards.
[LG Optimus 3D] Nucleardwarf:
Yes, after flashing the 1.5.3 update i dod what you say but nothing has changed..
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear nucleardwarf,

It is so weird... Since most of the removed apks are system services which are eating many RAM so absolutely u r supposed to have much more free RAM... i have all three scripts running and mostly i get around 270 mb free ram after close all command... Just stop scripts running and do unsupercharge then check the available memory... i also use startup manager to disable some app running after boot... Many apps is running hidden after boot those we cant see them with standart task manager...

Edit: i have removed scripts and unsupercharge; now i get around 260 mb free ram... Scripts helps some i guess but worse battery life so i dont use scripts...

Kind regards,
[LG Optimus 3D] stefankorun:
Great job you did here, but is there some improvement in real-life performance or just in numbers?(not trying to be rude here)
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear stefankorun,

Thanks for the question...

According to my tests phone is more snappier and has more RAM so real life performance is better... Well this may change user to user and depends on what installed on the phone... For example, a heavy live wallpaper like videolivewallpaper may produce lag even all the apps removed which were mentioned... So real life performance is really depends on the way u use phone...

For the battery life, it should technically last longer since many services can be disabled with this guide which are running in the background and killing battery life... I couldnt test battery life full way because i am a heavy user and have a spare battery but i feel it is a little bit more now...

Kind regards,
[LG Optimus 3D] Jordibcn:
How may I delete those apk ? In some kind of safe mode ? Is the same delete the apks than freezing with Titanium Backup ?? Thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] Nucleardwarf:
I'm running king 3D rom now with scripts enabled and have after close all command around 240 mb ram free!
[LG Optimus 3D] Jordibcn:
Thanks protochip for your list. I tried deleting apk using root explorer but after deleting them and rebooting the aplications updated itself ! so now I have frozen them with titanium backup but I don't know how to remove them completely. Apart from that "omadmclient" gave me an FC of death. I tought I have to restore the whole rom again but after rebooting didn't FC anymore so I guess is ok now.

Well, thanks again. Free ram now : 281 Mb after loading two thianiz scripts :cool: Using Thianiz 1.5.3 now.
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear Friends,

Great to hear that u have much more free ram now... As i mentioned in the 1st post, Some apps may give temporary FCs loop just after deleted; so pls reboot the phone to make the system stable again...

Kind regards
[LG Optimus 3D] stefankorun:
I have frozen all the apps and deleted Fonts.apk and OmaDClient.apk and I think there is a little improvement. But I get a FC if I try to set time&date to automatic so if anyone finds out what is the apk that causes that please post here...
[LG Optimus 3D] Jordibcn:
I notice that if I froze fonts I am not able to enter to Settings/Display (FC) but at least don't loop. So watch out with freezing or deleting fonts.apk
[LG Optimus 3D] PROTOCHIP:
Dear Friends,

As i mentioned before, we lose some functionality which doesnt effect phone usage so much but we get more ram,performance and battery... So some side effects should be welcome since we only have 512 mb of ram and only 441 mb is usable for us...

@stefankorun,

Gonna try to find which apk causes this...

@jordibcn,

Just unfreze fonts.apk , set your displays settings and refreeze it... No need to keep fonts since it really eats mem for nothing...

Kind regards.
[LG Optimus 3D] darknite999:
I have been playing around with what you can get rid of and im pretty sure one of the services or apks control the recent-menu screen. After removing one of the apks i could not even use the home button to return to my launcher. I am just having trouble finding which apk it is I keep deleting adn was wondering if anyone knew? Cheers.

I bought Asphalt from the Market, and somehow they managed to screw it up -_- had to get a refund.

After installing, opened the game and got a nice message that said: "Your phone is not compatible with Asphalt6".

Bought Need For Speed: Shift too, and after downloading like 5 times the data, all I get is corrupted graphics. No refund on this one tho :(
