Completely worth the switch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
Werd .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NICEGYPT:
BTW do I need SDcard to root and flash roms or I can just use the phone space?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iunlock:
Answer to your question: No brainer. You're comparing a Ford Fiesta to a Mercedes E Class.

Keep in mind that the iPhone copied the candy bar design from LG from the get go so that misconception about Samsung copying iPhone is false. iPhone COPIED. iPhone is using Samsung's smartphone patent.

The built quality is excellent. A phone doesn't have to be heavy like the HTC's for it to be good built quality. Think along the lines of the

concept

(I said concept for those idiots that will make a smart comment about me saying that our phones are made of carbon fiber...just to save the trouble and to keep my example idiot proof) of carbon fiber. Light, strong, durable and practical. Our SGSII's are very well built and put together.

There is a lot behind the scenes when designing a phone and I think Samsung did an excellent job with the SGSII. IMO the rear back cover is brilliant, allowing for better heat distribution and disbursement.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
LOL :D so true about the heavy part my old HTC was so heavy when i put the phone in my front shirt chest pocket, my shirt will drop a couple of inches

... and it looks plain ugly when that happens

but now i can do the same with our T989 and it sits there just fine, it still drops, but only half an inch, so from the water cooler chatting distance, people wont even notice you have a "heavy" phone in your front pocket :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
My signal is excellent with this phone compared to every other phone I've had. Maybe you're just in a bad area...?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
UPDATE: Doesn't work, but maybe it could be made to work? See last posts.

I just have a question about installing the theme chooser on any rooted and deoxed ROM. Is it possible? I'm running one of jboxers roms. I saw one thread here at xda about it but the guy was asking about sense roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
It can be installed on any ROM based off of the CM7 source. (I think it can at least, I've never tried it on MIUI but you don't need it there)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
No, it has to be coded into the rom to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
What needs to be changed in the rom? Is it edits to the framework? If I can do it, it would be an interesting project to try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
It would be cool to see a stockish ROM with that kind if theme support. I did read elsewhere it needs some frameworks found in cm7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Try to push it to a stock room with adb. It will fail, and somewhere it will say why. Fix the why.

I haven't got the slightest idea as to what exactly the theme chooser relies on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
I'd be happy to help with this. I have adb installed and am wanting to learn ROM development anyways. I can figure out how to work adb this weekend and try then. Does anyone know where I can get a theme chooser apk?

One more question, does theme chooser need adw launcher?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Search Google for "T-Mobile Theme Chooser." It was code written by T-Mobile for their phones. That is what CM7 and others use to implement this feature. It requires the framework to be decompiled and recompiled with support code for the theme chooser. It is just not installing a program. it is very technical and not easy to do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
I got the apk you can have. What's your email? I'm on a phone so I can't upload. Ill attach to an email.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
So the lg framework would have to be decompiled and recompiled with support code in otherwords?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
I pm'ed it to you. Is that ok?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
Tried Install

So I gave it a shot and this is what I end up with. I'll google around to see what this means, if it means anything more than its face value might suggest.

pkg: /data/local/tmp/ThemeChooser.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]

Edit: Looked around some more and found this thread on the error:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640592&page=54

To quote Brut.all there "I think "INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE" is straightforward: Android refuses to install apk with UID if it has different certs than already installed app."

and Daneshm90 "Yup so u got 2 options,

1. Find all the apks that have the same uid and resign them with the same keys

2. Remove the uid from the manifest and hope it works"

I am not sure exactly where to go from here. Is there a tool that would let me open up the APK and see the UID?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You cannot install it. Has to be a system app with changes to the system framework. Very difficult to do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ShawnnKushh:
out of curiousity

Considering T-mobile created the Theme Chooser code for their phones, i was just wondering, I have a T-mobile Optimus T running 2.3.3 stock, would there be a way to make this work for me??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Requires modifications to the framework to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ShawnnKushh:
framework changes

would it be possible to insert only those specific entries to the framework and make this work? its really the only reaon anymore i prefer to use a rom, considering 2.3.3 has fixed many of the bugs that originally made me switch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
In theory yes, but if you were good enough at ROM development to be able to do so, you wouldn't be asking these questions. Even if you want to learn, start with something easier.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ShawnnKushh:
LMAO!

lmao most deffinetely, ive never developed anything for android, i used to be an apple junkie, up until a couple months ago haha, but im sure it not a simple as copy and paste, so i was just asking. but what exactly does a framework consist of??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I believe the theme chooser was developed by T-Mobile in Europe for their Android phones there. I don't believe ever implemented into a TMO USA device officially.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ShawnnKushh:
well it just so happens that i have the p500 factory 2.3.3 flashed on my p509 now right now, since they dont have an official tmo version yet. but it is european based, so what im wondering is, would that already be incorporated into the "ROM" inces its european, or maybe not conidering the p500 isnt a t-mobile phone, and both prerequisites arent met, 1. european firmware, and 2. t-mobile branded

what do yall think??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you don't see it, it is not there. No part of it will be there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
I don't know when it begin, however, since yesterday, every application I downloaded from the market, will show me this error message

"<Application Name> could not be downloaded due to an error"

I googled it and tried every single solution provided , that could be summed up to these few things

a. use another account --> tried, didn't work

b. flashed cache (dalvik cache, application caches) --> tried, didn't work

c. flash the ROM again ---> havn't done so!

d. change account password ---> tried, didn't work

The problem only when downloading the application from Market - as if my account is rejected. There is no problem using Talk, or Gmail or Youtube or Maps.

With exception of (c) - i have no other idea.

Suggestions?

***** SOLUTION FOUND*****

I use Semaphore Kernel and activated the "Change /cache to virtual 50 Mb" option. I deactivated it and now market works as normal
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Maybe trouble with the latest market? Try reverting to older one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
I forget to write that I have uninstall the update, but no joy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Do you manage to log in to gtalk?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
No problem at all in connecting to gtalk. Why do you ask? Any relationship between gtalk and market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
there has to be a way in solving this.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Both need connection to google services. But that's not the problem then. What version is your market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Yeah, good idea. Try a different market version. That may solve this.

It blows my mind that the description for the error is that you have an error. That just seems lazy. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minus616:
I have the same problem, I have uninstalled the market updates but still no luck.

The problem started yesterday, I'm using Juews smart edition v6.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
same here..

When the error is shown, I quickly check that the version has been updated. HOWEVER, this doesn't mean that the problem started because of an update as I have not been downloading much thing from market anyway.

Logically - since the problem occur after an update, I thought, let's uninstall update. And then the market went down to version during Froyo time. Problem remains !

I download market 3.2.0 and problem remains. That's where I started to go crazy... tried every method that my google friend could find, nothing works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
an idea!

What if , the problem is somehow due to insufficient access right to download files from the market? Where does market placed the download files? If anyone knows the temporary folder .. could you tell me the access right setting as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
Solution

I use Semaphore Kernel and in one of the option is to change /cache to virtual 50 MB. I disabled this and market downloads work as usual
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minus616:
I got mine working by reflashing juews smart edition v6 (no wipe)

hope it helps!

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Well I guess I spoke too soon, it has started doing it again.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
maybe you have to freeze the app so it won't update itself automatically?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
And you didn't think of this before? Come on! Haha. I'm glad you got it working though. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundesville:
my brain was asleep for 2 days.. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodon:
This thread saved my ass hahaha

I had exactly the same issue with exactly the same workaround :D

Can someone explain me why that virtual 50MB f***s up the market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pofy:
Had the same problem. Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Not a clue. You could try asking in the kernel's official thread though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirracas77:
I don't understand clearly the workaround. Could anybody explain me in detail?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Alright so i was looking for an extended battery for my sensation 4G and it looks like there are plenty of 1800mA battery out there that are very cheap! here is the link to one of them:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-SENSATI...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=4052291442312785527

and here is another one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X1850MAH-B...821248?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5890953b80

So i was just wondering, are these too good to be true? or are they actually safe and sound?
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
Stick to anker or chichitec if you want cheap.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] shawayne21:
Or the OEM HTC Evo 3D battery.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
But this one is wayyy much cheaper than anker or any other batteries. Its 1/10 of the price!
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
these ones won't break your cellphone but their performance is even worse than the oem battery. Someone on youtube prooved that some of these are only 1000mah underneith the label. Oh and also if you find the anker battery being too expensive ($20 including shipping) perhaps you should rethink owning such a high end smart phone.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Thats a good reason for not buying it.

//

what i meant was u cant compare anker with this cuz its a lot cheaper. Otherwise there are even better batteries out there which cost like 100 bucks so...
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
If you want high-end, go for the 1950 mugen power EVO 3D battery
[HTC Sensation] easyguy:
Listen to these guys, if you dont want to take from our experiences than go ahead and buy it and see how bad they are.
[HTC Sensation] ajonesma:
I'd buy it except I hate ebay. But I just bought a 1900mah battery from amazon for about $20.
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
Cheap will end up costing you in the long run, I use anker and i wouldn't look else where.
[HTC Sensation] canaps:
Anker is powerfull !
[HTC Sensation] mulawingalang:
Hahaha. So I was googling up apps similar to Siri and found one called "Iris".

You should try it. Try telling her she's stupid and you'll be suprised. :p

Here's a link to it: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dexetra.iris
[HTC Sensation] Lightyear25:
Yeah I tried it.

I thought it was cheesy, the stupid fembot sprite is annoying, imo, Iris needs to integrate better. It has nothing on Siri.
[HTC Sensation] Domvillan:
I havent tried iris yet but I've been using voice actions/ Jennie and it is quite solid.
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
its not Even close to siri, what a joke don't give answers to sh+t you ask it.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I like speaktoit assistant.

https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcGVha3RvaXQuYXNzaXN0YW50Il0.

It's been around for a while too.
[HTC Sensation] lloyd_turkey2:
Stop hating guys it's not that bad :P Plus it's getting better, however slowly :D

Keep in mind it's an alpha, so bugs and problems are to be expected. It might not ever be as good as Siri, but if you feel the urge to speak to your phone and get an intelligent response, give it a chance :P

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popssracer:
Hey folks, having an odd issue with my market. Has been happening on and off since the last market update (3.1.5). I searched around and couldnt find anything about it. Sometimes when I go to install or update an app, I click on the install (or update) button and instead of going to the "Agree and Download" screen, it goes to a pure white screen with loading in the middle and sits there. I have tried clearing market data, force closing the market and starting it up again, etc, with no avail. It seems to be pretty random, sometimes it goes right to agree and download, sometimes it doesn't, and it doesnt seem to be app specific. It also doesnt seem to be rom specific. I have left it on that page for a pretty long time (>10 mins) with no change. It did it on an the ERA EC05 rom I was running, and is doing it on the GB EH17 rom I am currently using.

Anyone else having this issue? Has it been documented before? If so, I'd appreciate a link so I can check it out. As always, I am very grateful for any and all help. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] counterfeit187:

But now the question becomes more about linux and it seemed right to change topic, although I have not found a more appropriate section of this.

[Android Apps and Games] bradchao:
Android Runner is based on the classic game Lode Runner.

Post to Android Market, search for keyword: android runner

You must control the "Super Android" (the green robot with a red cape) to collect the apples or mangoes in every stage

and not to be caught by the "BB Bird" (Bad Blue Bird).

By sliding left/right/up/down with your finger on the screen, you control the Super Android move towards the direction you want.

By simply tapping the screen, you can stop the Super Android. There are two bricks beside the Super Android would become gray when he stops. When the BB Bird approaches, the only way to escape is to tap either of the gray bricks

to dig a hole to "temporarily" make it trapped. Once the BB Bird falls, the Super Android can step on it safely to continue his journey, and it climbs out of the hole and back to live within a few seconds.

If you dig a hole and let the Super Android falls, however, the game is over (he is not a bird).

When the Super Android collects all fruits in the stage, a ladder to the trophy shows up and you need to guide the Super Android

to get the trophy to go to next stage.

This game is not just as free as you expected, you can even design your own stages and share them with other players through

our official server, sharing is a power to build a world with peace.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetor12:
I was wondering if anyone has used a Power Gorilla with their Transformer? I wasn't sure what voltage to set, I can set 8.4,9.5,12,16 and 19volts on the Power Gorilla, the Transformer manual says the adaptor output is 15v but it does not seem to say this on the adaptor although the small writing is hard to make out, any info would be appreciated.

Edit: I have now discovered the powergorilla has no adaptor plug to fit the Transformer but it does have a 5v USB output which would enable me to plug my transformer in but would 5v charge the Transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
That would get you a trickle charge ala plugging into a PC's USB2 port AFAIK. Search these forums for the DIY charger thread and you'll find how much is needed to get proper charging.

for 2.2.x roms, the only rom that can do it is Streakdroid 1.9.x.

I believe dj_steve tested it moderately with a usb keyboard, anything you're on your own. USB thumb drives can work, but they have many caviats such as you cant go into usb mode and connect it to a pc.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] prodigyX:
Ok guys here is a weird one..

My mother just got an HTC Flyer, and it is still stock / not-rooted. I did an OTA update as soon as the Flyer was set up and ready to go. Its running Gingerbread 2.3.4 and the build is now 2.23.405.4 CL104635. I installed LauncherPro for her as Sense is a bit laggy, and she recently started having a problem where the tablet keeps forgetting its default home launcher.

I narrowed the problem down and basically this is what happens. No matter which launcher is set as default, as soon as you pull down the notification bar all default launcher settings are cleared. You can tick the 'use by default' box again, and switch between and use apps to your hearts content, and pressing home will bring you back to your homescreen, but as soon as you pull the notification bar down, pressing home asks you which launcher to use.

Obviously the first thing I did was go to settings > applications > manage applications and clear defaults for either HTC Sense launcher, or LauncherPro, neither of which work. I've tried apps like homesmack, homeswitcher and cleardefault, none of which make any difference.

This is a bizzare problem, and again I say, it is easily reproduced by simply pulling down the notification bar :confused:

Any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Very wierd. I use ADW EX Launcher on my Flyer and have no such problems but I see no reason that other launchers should not behave properly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] prodigyX:
I've tried various other launchers, and even did a factory reset, but the problem is still there. When trying any launcher besides HTC Sense, the default home is instantly forgotten when the notification bar is pulled down, and I am forced to choose between the two launchers EVERY TIME. 'Use by default' is useless.

I'd like to avoid rooting for now for the warranty, but I don't see any other option!

This is driving me insane! Come on guys, any suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aidansdad22:
