before test-

can someone put up some screen shots and tell us about their overall experience of the rom???

after-

(i dont know of any app which'll let you take screenshots! something like the option on cm7 required! :P )

Cam supports 720 hd recording,

Menus are white.

new status bar tweak with widgets!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I realize Android veterans already know about this, but I was able to load an application and install it directly from a website without going through the Android or AT&T market - and without installing any special software or making any hacks.

The User's Guide from HTC explains on page 64: Go to Settings - Applications and check the Unknown Sources checkbox. Respond Yes to the warning message. Then I went to the website and downloaded the apk file. Notifications showed the file. I just tapped on it and responded to the message about installing it. A couple of seconds later the program was running.

I realize this does not address situations where someone wants to do some hardcore rooting. But it does mean that non-market apps are not locked out from being used.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
For a while now Att have allowed us to install apks from unknown sources. I remember when they made a silent update for the inspire.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
Every Android that has been released since the Samsung Infuse has had the ability to install apps from Unknown Sources. The Atrix, Inspire and Captivate were updated to allow Unknown Source installations.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
Thanks for the clarification. I'm new to Android, but I recalled seeing some posts about AT&T rerstricting non-market downloads. I'm glad it's no longer an issue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bconover93:
Yep. as the owner of at&t's 1st Android, I never got said update, or even past Eclair. But it's ok. I've been rooted and rommed for a while now. :)

The real question is, did he install a backup program like clockworkmod. If he did, it's as simple as loading a rom onto your micro sd card from your pc and booting into it and installing the new rom. My guess is he didn't wipe data as he did it.

He gets the android recovery cuz he says no install zip option
[General Questions and Answers] zulutron:
This has happened twice now. I go to use my phone and it is in Rom Manager. It appears that it is trying to update, but it "failed to verify whole-file signature."

The first time this happened, I wiped the phone clean and restarted. This took a quite a while as I didnt have a backup. :\ Now, less than a week later, it has done it again. It there any way to stop this short of doing a reset?

Thanks for any help. Phone (Thunderbolt) is rooted with 1.13.605.7 basic debloat. Until this is fixed, my phone is pretty much a paperweight.
[General Questions and Answers] zulutron:
I forgot to mention that when the phone reboots, it will then (within 30 seconds to a minute) auto-shutdown and I cant stop it from doing so. This is when it will then go into Rom Manager. I hope that makes it a bit clearer.

[Epic 4G Themes] zanderman112:
No problem, if you want to port this one to EI22, just say so. But, I would reccomend starting with the EH06 one by deano, because it'll be more similiar to EI22 than this.

Yeah that was my plan I tried to port sculpted to ec05 from eh06 and was not experienced enough to do so my first try I'm just gonna try and copy and paste drawables and colors xmls from eh06 sculpted to ei22 and go from there but I do need someone to make any theme for ei22 to use as a slate for doing so ... im so bummed you did all that ork just to have official gb come out and now its like who's really still gonna wana rock froyo anymore but still great job ... I tried and if you ported it from eh06 I deff understand how crazy painstaking that was
[Epic 4G Themes] zanderman112:
Yeah, I'd wait till the lockmod is included. Fyi, all I did what images, no XML edits were needed. I just opened the apks on 7zip, made sure that the EH06 version images were deleted/renamed to match EC05, then copied those drawable-whatever folders into the EC05 framework apks.

I'm a bit confused. What exactly does this NFC chip do? What can I use it for on the daily? What apps are recommended for the chip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
right now nothing useful

after ICS 4.0 then we actually get to use it more often
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Not 100% sure, but it might be useful for the latest version of Paypal. It seems to support NFC for transfers between friends.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
NFC (Near Field Communications) will allow you to pay for items via your phone instead of your wallet. Many foreign countries have already accepted their phones as credit cards replacements; Japan for example.

But, it does more than just pay for items. QR codes that we just started using, requires you to use the camera and it will bring you to a site or direct you to an advertisement. With NFC, you can simply hold your phone to an advertisement (that is NFC capable) and it will divert you to site/advertisement. If you are in the U.S, you can go to your nearest T-Mobile store and they should have a NFC sticker you can try it out on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
but in North America, we barely have any place that is actually using it for mainstream

it's such a rare view to ever see or find anything with a NFC tag to scan
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
Yeah, it's understandable why though. We are way behind in terms of technology compared to other countries. Just about 6 years ago, we didn't even have 3G yet, but we are slowly catching up.

NFC is not garnering alot of attention because Americans are so afraid of the consequences of such technology. They are worried about people stealing information through NFC or hacking their accounts through NFC, but many don't understand that it is much easier to pick pocket your wallet or rob you than it is to hack your phone to steal your accounts.

Hopefully we'll catch up soon though :) Google Wallet is currently testing NFC in various markets and offering a 10$ credit for you to buy anything in the store they are testing it in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lexcyn:
I think people don't realize is they have been using NFC for years with Paypass, now Paywave, and now Interac Flash is coming out based on the same tech.

Gas stations have been using it too like Petro Canada ... actually most places I've been too here in Canada have NFC pay terminals so we just need Google Wallet to be available here and we can go nuts. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
I don't think that's NFC, the ones that are used in Credit cards are RFID.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] floot_roops:
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but something I was curious about...

Though it's still in the "anticipated" technology phase, there's a lot of buzz regarding NFC with various review sites praising or criticizing newly released phones for the inclusion or lack of NFC respectively.

NFC, like any other communications technology, needs both the hardware and software to control it, right? Our SGS2's seem to have the NFC "chips" (not sure what the appropriate term for the hardware is) in the battery (not just based on what's written on the battery, but what the T-Mo SGS2 manual indicates).

Based on this, couldn't any phone out there with a user-replaceable battery (read: any non-Apple phone) be pretty easily upgradable with a replacement battery pack and firmware update in the future? If that's the case, it doesn't seem like so much should be read into whether a phone launches with NFC capability or not.

But like I said, I don't know much about the technical aspects, so I might just sound like a moron.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
The NFC chip requires it to be integrated into the phone in order for it to work. The NFC on the battery most likely states that it is optimized for NFC, I don't think there is a NFC chip inside the battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
There are already 2-3 threads discussing NFC in this forum. One of them includes some fairly detailed testing about what is working atm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
if you replace the battery with another one that does not have NFC, your NFC option will get greyed out in Settings

so they battery might not be the NFC chip itself, but might very well behave like the antennae as found on the Nexus S battery door
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
I didn't know if I should start a new trad or ask here, but didn't want to clutter the forum.

So I'm seeing that they are making a big deal with the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon on not having Google Wallet in it.

My question is-

Is it part of ICS?

If not any idea of when it will be release?

Will it work on our phones since it has a NFC chip?

Not that there is alot of places to use it at, but it would be fun to have for the few places to show off, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
Wallet doesn't seem like part of ICS

already played with ICS on many devices, and don't see wallet included

you can always install the hacked version manually

yes it works

Google wallet for ATT, TMO and VZW blocked

because they are part of a competing NFC contactless payment system called ISIS. So till then I don't think we'll see much beyond device to device data sharing. I'm sure tho that the creative and talented peeps here will have something up their sleeve. I still need to check out the other threads here for NFC but that's the scoop on why Google Wallet is on Sprint and not on ATT-VZW-TMO.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wilsonium:
Thanks for the great read (I learned a few things I didn't know)

My point, however, was that Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T were all blocking Google Wallet on the stock ROMs because their competing NFC Contactless Payment system, ISIS, is due out next year and probably won't involve Google Wallet. I also pointed out that people here are talented enough to find a work around for it anyway. Right now, Google Wallet and ISIS are mutually exclusive and the hardware may be similar if not identical, I doubt the carriers mentioned would support Google Wallet on their phones. There's no confusion here on my part as I was only talking about the contactless payments enabled by both Google Wallet and ISIS. The broader functionality of NFC will still work for things like contacts exchange, product info... etc. Only replied because someone asked about Google Wallet.

To me, the "near" in NFC is a limitation. The problem is, with the galaxy S2, you have to be nearly touching the sticker or touching a thin object above the sticker. It has to be with the back of the phone, which means it's difficult to hide the screen if you needed to. But yes, it's critical for having phones interact with real world objects. It's going to be much more than just google wallet... :D

I don't blame you for banning Facebook from your personal life as I've witnessed some of the worst that site has to offer. I'm just making a general statement and am not advocating using Facebook. That all being said, Facebook is, like everything else in life, what you make it. I always say that people will only know about you what you CHOOSE to tell about yourself. I cannot for the life of me comprehend the logic in posting all of one's personal info online in plain sight for all to see then complaining about anyone having complete access to said information but I digress.

Just my two cents...

As for NFC, as much as I hate to say it I think that we won't see widespread NFC adoption until Apple decides to pick up on it because the fact of the matter is Apple wields a considerable amount of influence on mobile/tech gadget industry trends.

Case in point: Most people went from writing off the original IPad off as an oversized ITouch back in February of 2010 right before it was released to clamoring for a tablet of their own of any kind in February 2011.

Another example: look what happened to Mobile Flash...
