[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
New owner of an SG2, which I'm liking so far. Am coming from N1 Cyanogenmod.

At present I've rooted my phone and am running the stock rom with Launcher Pro.

I'm liking a bunch of the features of the stock rom (well trying them out) and am deciding whether I keep the stock rom or move to a custom rom.

I do have a few questions about the stock rom, which I wonder can be answered here:

- With the pull down menu you have the options of wifi, bluetooth etc in the status bar. Is there anyway of changing these options (for example want to remove bluetooth).

- With the dialler, once I make a call it goes into a screen with a bunch of options, like, save contact, etc. Is there anyway of avoiding this screen and going straight to home? (incidentally you are given the option of "voice call". Is this something provided by your network or another service?)

- Autorotate. Is it possible to NOT have it working on the homescreen, but available in your apps?

In relation to custom rom, what do you guys reckon is as close to stock as possible, but with a bit more customisation. I'm guessing a custom rom would be able to deal with most of my queries.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
1) majority of roms have that bar modified where you can slide it across and have upto 12 triggers, although you can't really remove them. However with cm7 and miui you can customize that bar to your hearts content.

2) no idea

3) look in the launcher pro settings, you should be able to set it there so it doesn't auto rotate

Give cm7 a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
Cheers mate. Was using CM7 fine with my N1, guess just wanted to mix it up a bit. There are a bunch of features I do like about the stock rom though.

I'll run it for another week and then may give MIUI a go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Checkout jkay mods and themes for stock roms in the theme section.

Can do basically what you want Plus more.

Also many launchers (home screens) can set whether to auto rotate. Set it to off in launcher and leave the system auto rotate on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
Thanks, will have a play with the custom themes.

Also, I presume, if I install MIUI or Cyanogenmod, I could still install the Samsung specific apks?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
No, you can not install any Samsung apps on CM. (May be you're thinking you like the stock browser so you want to use it on CM, but you can not).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qureyoon:
Sorry for the newb qustions, but is this because of the ROM itself?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
Cheers mate. I note you are using GingerMod, may give that a try as it seems to be the AOSP, with the ability to add certain TW apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Yes. CM7 and MIUI are build from scratch and doesn't contain anything related to Samsung. So unlike stcok based custom roms, these two roms doesn't support Samsung apps.

Well, the reason you wanted to try is exactly the reason why so many users love GingerMod rom. It has some good apps from Samsung, like the gpu accelerated browser, camera app, fm radio. Rest 95 % is aosp.

So it's pure google experience,no Samsung bloatware, and we can still enjoy some of the real good apps Samsung made.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
heh, would love a cyan-samsung bastard child port. If only I had the skills to do that.

Love the ability with Cyan to tweak a whole bunch of settings, but am liking quite a few of the Samsung apps.

Will look into GingerMod as it may be a good compromise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
There is one more reason why i personally like GingerMod.

It is 99% (or 100%) bug free. Infact, i find it more stable than any official firmware.

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
nearly ALL the ROMs you posted, nay, all of them, work - if they didn't there would be a hellstorm in those threads. My guess is it has to do with how you're flashing the ROM. Since you have hboot 1.5, customized kernels (which contain camera stuffs) do not fully apply in a normal flash. You need to first fastboot usb INTO recovery and THEN flash the ROM. That should work. Also, update TWRP to 1.1.1. Of course you'll need to do a wipe as well. Hope this works for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
You might also want to try one of the many superwipes.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
User error. Camera works on roms. Maybe ur phone is broken
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
I'd go with what il Duce said. You have to flash the kernel seperately. If you do decide to go back to stock you can always add su and also remove what you don't want.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lanaka:
I'll try that, altho I've never used it before. Even when I had my e4g, I never heard of this one until I started my current research on the e3d. Any particular one you'd (or anyone else'd) recommend?

Sigh, lotta work rooting and flashing the 1.50 e3d, compared to the good ol' e4g! >8p HTC!

Mahalo Much!

-Lan
[HTC EVO 3D] Lanaka:
Gods! I certainly HOPE NOT! It'd be a real b!atch if this proves to be the case.

Seriously, tho. I'm thinking it'd probably not be the case as I had the phone and was playing with it stock and unrooted for nearly a week and during the whole time, the phone's camera worked with nary a problem. That's why as a check value, I'm going to restore the phone back to stock unrooted state AFTER I try the last 4 roms I still have en-queued. This doesn't include the cleaned/rooted stocker, the full/rooted stocker nor the full OEM stocker.

-Lan
[HTC EVO 3D] Lanaka:
Ok, I'll try that next. Altho, I gonna have to read up on how to prepare the kernel for flashing separately. Am I correct in guessing that I probably could get away with making a copy of the zip file and deleting everything in it except for boot.img, then adb boot into recovery and set the flag for check sign off before flashing the custom zip I just made? If that's not correct, mind pointing me to the apropos thread? (...or tell me what I need to do for separate flashing?)

If all else doesn't work, that's what I intend with the stocker roms. SU, TI, RE. Then time for me to research on where what and how to root out all the bloat meself. I'll worry about that later cuz I no need do that IF i can get a pre-made rom and kernel to take root in me e3d!

Mahalo Much!

-Lan
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
You DON'T have to flash the kernel seperatly using the boot.img method with HBoot 1.50. As long as you access recovery from fastboot you can flash everything normally & the kernel will stick. Just sayin'
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
except he's already doing that and running into problems...

@OP - man you are wordy lol. Just a simple FYI, when you're phone is running and you hook up to usb with the intention of running adb, DO NOT turn on disk drive, leave it as charge only. Also, the way to flash the kernel as a stand alone is pull the "boot.img" from the ROM zip, put in your path, and then "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Also, there's an app made by dev "joeykrim" called "flash image gui" that allows you to flash kernels (boot.img) from your OS and is known to work with hboot 1.5.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lanaka:
Ah, didn't know that, mebbe that's why I'm having problems. I'll try reinstall one of the earlier ROM and see if there's any difference. If that doesn't fly, I'll try the kernel separately. I went with hard drive mode cuz I got actual confirmation the device was loaded. Charge only, didn't get any indication that the pc seen the e3d, sigh, noticed the sense and adb interface is rather ...crude.

Heh, wordy, that's what you get when you have an English major for a mother and an English/Japanese Translation Specialist (aka Cultural Attache in the US Army) for a grandfather... ;)

I'll give joeykrim's flash_gui a try too. Just downloaded it. Cross fingers for luck. (roll eyes at 1.50)

HTC Rezound Now, or Quad-core HTC Edge Later?

Alleged images of the HTC Edge, rumored to be the world's first quad-core smartphone when it launches in early 2012, have surfaced via Pocket Now.

As far as smartphones go, this one is at the top of the food chain. It packs a quad-core, 1.5-GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU, 4.7-inch display with 720p resolution, an 8-megapixel camera with F/2.2 lens, 1GB of RAM, Beats Audio headphones, and the HTC Sense interface. In other words, it's twice as powerful as the HTC Rezound launched last week, which hits Verizon on November 14 for $300.

Strangely, 4G LTE support was not mentioned; instead the Edge is supposed to support 21Mbps HSPA+ (AT&T's old 4G technology).

In February, Nvidia announced Kal-El, the first quad-core mobile processor, and it first hit the market in October via the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime. For more, my colleague Michael Miller "dissected" Kal-El and its "secret fifth core."

Last week, Verizon Wireless and HTC announced the HTC Rezound, HTC's first Beats Audio-paired smartphone. It's a 4G LTE device featuring a 4.3-inch 720p HD display, 1.5-GHz dual-core processor, 32GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, and the latest version of HTC Sense. It also sports an 8-megapixel camera and records video in 1080p. For more, see PCMag's Hands On With the HTC Rezound and slideshow below.

Dang. All that stood out to me was 4.7-inch display. That is huge!

I might wait for this phone. I love my incredible still and putting a different ROM on it every week makes it feel like a new phone. Might hold out for this phone if it is on Verizon's network.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacifik:
It didn't look like a verizon phone to me, plus I'd rather have a S4 processor than Tegra3
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeRom:
If it said HSPA+ then it's not coming to Verizon.

I think it'll have a cdma counterpart that comes to VZW. Hopefully 4G LTE will be included.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
4.3 is too big

4.7 is ridiculous. I hope people don't buy these phones so manufactures can start making them portable again.

They say Q1 or Q2, but they're known to have delays on big phones like this so it may be Q3 or Q4, or later. I wouldn't wait for this one if I was you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
Doesn't matter how many cores it has. HTC will find new and exciting ways to make the superphone choppy and laggy through bloat and inefficient software design.

I guess there is a difference if you plan on putting AOSP on it though.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username235:
Huh, weird. Because Sense 3.5 runs perfectly fine on my phone, as good as AOSP, with obviously a few exceptions because of how old this Incredible hardware is, and since there's still a few little bugs in the rom.

Anyways, all these ICS phones are gonna be awesome, and it's awesome that this one still has capacitive buttons, so far. Battery life on it should be awesome though, except the rumor that it's 4.7 inches, that's basically close to the really small tablet area. But if it truly does come with 720p resolution, hopefully the rom from it will get ported to the Rezound

At what point will these quad core behemoth's start needing cooling fans.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
The only way I've gotten sense 3.5 to work well on my phone is with the "2D hack" that the rcmix team figured out to make the sense widgets not have 30 different objects to render at once (calendar comes to mind). Even then, there's the dreaded pull down notification lag which is even present on the Amaze 4G, but amplified on our older hardware. Not to mention that despite all this it STILL takes 3-4 seconds to launch common apps like DIALER as opposed to the nearly instantaneous AOSP.

They have good UI designers but terrible programmers.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username235:
Quad-core. They should save battery, though nobody's entirely sure with phones. The first quad core tablet, the Asus Transformer Prime that's coming out, has a battery life of 12 hours while using it...plus I think like 16 or 18 with the keyboard dock. I'm not sure what size battery it has, but that's nice. And I'm pretty sure it has to do with the quad core
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtcarnes:
First, I doubt that's a phone that's coming in 2012... ICS does NOT support capacitive buttons and any Android phone that releases in 2012 without ICS is going to languish.

Second, it's certainly not coming to Verizon with HSPA+. There are plenty of great phones that come out on other carriers that never make it to Verizon.

A note about the Tegra 3... The reason it's going to have such amazing battery life is because there is actually a fifth core, called a companion core, that it switches to when the phone isn't doing anything. Cool technology...

As an aside, when is a screen too big?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
My quad core dell xps has terrible battery, but i have it set to max performance with the 2 gig nvidia card in it. Only lasts 1.5 hours.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knipp21:
Really? Cause the nexus s port of ics uses the capacitive touch buttons...all HTC has to do is write the code to make it work...that's too easy to be a reason it won't get ics..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username235:
Yeah, ICS most definitely DOES support capacitive buttons, because otherwise, that'd be a total fail in Android by doing that, considering all the phones that are potentially getting upgraded. It's just common sense. And yep, I've read plenty about the companion core. Finally, a screen is too big to me when I can't comfortably hold, and operate it at the same time with one hand, a nearly 5 inch screen is not comfortable. Might as well get a small tablet if you want that kind of screen size. That on a cell phone is ridiculous. 4.3 is the highest I'll go.

No respectable kernel offers OC over 1.6

The only person who claims OC higher than 1.6 is Mr. "snake oil" Tegrak, and he's too busy violating the GPL to back up his claims.

Nearly everything in my kernel was pulled from the CM7 source base, and I have provided atinm with patches for any significant modification/bugfix. If you could flash my kernel on CM7 you would see little to no difference.

The device has only been pulled from shelves in LTE markets where AT&T is aggressively marketing LTE devices with availability shenanigans and extra discounts to drive adoption - most of these markets are ones where stores didn't stock the I777 in the first place.

CM7 developers make the same request on ANY phone that has an official CM7 port. It's the CM7 way.

Please use this thread to post kernel modules for the Samsung Galaxy 8.9

The kernel modules I post are compiled from the model 7310 WiFi-only kernel source released by Samsung for kernel 2.6.36.3 and Android 3.1. I do not know if they will work on any other model besides the 7310, but you are free to try.

You must have root access and mount "system" as read/write.

Create a folder called "modules" inside of /system/lib and copy the kernel module (.ko) into "modules"

cifs.ko - to mount shares from Windows, Linux and Mac

Thanks for testing, glad to hear cifs is working.

kevinchg, not sure on your mounting issue when also loading nls_utf8.ko, I don't currently have a way to test it, but I would make sure that you have your path's and options setup correctly in cifsmanager. Don't quote me, but I think you need to separate the two module paths by a semi-colon and I believe you also need to specify the option "iocharset=utf8" (or something like this) within your share configuration.

fishton, the NTFS module has been added. Let me know if it works for you. Can't believe I left this one out...would like to use it myself.

Thanks ! Will test it tonight and let you know if it works :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] phonic:
I'm curious why you guys need the modules. As far as I can tell, they were built into the kernel on my 8.9 tab. I had no problem mounting cifs/ntfs shares and didn't need anything to do so.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Which model do you have? Perhaps you are mounting network drives with ES File Explorer or something like that that has SMB built-in? Neither the config from /proc/config.gz or the defconfig from the kernel source I downloaded from Samsung have any of these options built into the kernel. I definitely can't mount using cifsmanager without loading the cifs.ko module.

For NTFS, we are talking about mounting NTFS hard drives via USB. Haven't tried that yet...perhaps the other gentleman will report back if he tries.
