[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sic_lic1o1:
if you're getting good download speed, i wouldn't change out the old sim card. When i first got the phone, i used my old sim card, i was getting around 13 to 15 mbps. After i talked to a guy at Tmobile, he told me to switch to the new sim card because it has more features in it. Well, after i switched to the new sim card, my download speed went down to 5 mbps. Maybe its just me. But if your phone getting good download speed, don't change anything.

for anyone that wants to tweak their data in the build.prop, take a look at this thread,. Try it and see if there's any difference.

This turned from a T-989 problem to a T-Mobile problem, which this isn't really the place for. The phone works great, and gets awesome download speeds in certain areas.

Agreed. I'm usually around 2-4mbps down on 3g.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bnielsen40:
I'm seeing slower speeds as well, but for me it was after I flashed Juggernaut 3.5 - I hope it's not due to the ROM change.

At my office last week I was pulling down 10-12 mbps (not great reception at my house) on stock, so I'm anxious to test again tomorrow and see if the ROM switch had an affect.

I'm in norcal 4g speeds are amazing in san Francisco can get up to 15-20mbps in the nice parts of town. Oakland goes randomly from 10mbps to edge depending on how deep in that **** you are. Where i live about 45min to an hour of SF i get 10mbps lol and only 2 bars of service. California has some ridiculous ****ed off geography so that might also be the reason for your slow speeds.

Hi,

i know that the build would be slow as hell but has anyone compiled ICS for the G1? just for trying it ?

i would like to try it myself but i have no clue on how and from hat i`ve heard my computer would take ages to build it
[G1 General] jianC:
It's done for droid eris, it can be ported to G1.

Porting would be inefficient when it can be built from source.

Unfortunately I can't do neither
[G1 General] hyperspace290:
Ice Cream Sandwich Build Help

As soon as the source was released I was thinking about trying to build it for "old reliable" (my nickname for my old G1). I know it would be slow as mud but I still want to give it a try. Problem is I've never compiled the source of Android before so I would be going in blind. I've read the info at source.android.com so I have somewhere to start. If anyone has any other guides/tutorials on how to build Android for a device then I would be really appreciative. I'm a Computer Science major so don't be afraid to throw a little code at me either. I'll include the details of my phone below in case anyone needs it.

SPL: HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DangerSPL)

OS: CyanogenMod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1)
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
You can have a look at Terry' ezGingerbread thread. Here he explains what to do to compile his ezGingerbread from the sources. Principally compiling ICS is the same, but you need to exchange / modify the manifest to your needs.
[G1 General] hyperspace290:
Thanks, I looked it up and it was really helpful. Just a couple of quick questions. Do you know how far from stock ezGingerbread is? What do you mean when you say manifest? When people port a new version to a new device how is it normally done?

Thanks for your help. If I manage to get anything useful I'll be sure to share it here first.
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
It's almost stock, but there are some projects from CM included and some he cloned from CM or from other sites and manages them by himself. Details you can see it in his manifest.xml located in the .repo directory. The manifest defines, what projects are to be included and what branch you want to use for these projects.
[G1 General] ezterry:
You will not want my manifest for ICS (at least unless I make an ICS branch myself)

The reason is you will want to use the ICS git repos and not the GB git repos (original or cloned by me)

That said if you are new to building an android rom look at the structure using ezgb some, and build ezgb, then when you understand the structure clone ICS from aosp (see info on source.android.com) and create your own manifest from that including cloned git repos you need from ezgb with any addtl modifications required.

The first thing is:

* Git is the source control for all parts of android, however many (well over 200) git repos are used in ICS

* Repo is a tool (python script with plugins pulled from its own git repo) for maintaining all of the git repos used in an android build, and creating the true tree of repos needed for the work directoy.

* Manifest is a special git repository with default.xml (and sometimes other manifest xmls) used by the repo script to find all the projects other git repositories, as well as what branch/commit to checkout to the work directory.
[G1 General] hyperspace290:
Thanks for the advice guys. Glad to see the little G1 is still getting some love. I think I'll start by building ezGingerbread to get the handle on the build process for Android and at least get up to 2.3.

If anyone knows what kinds of modifications are normally needed for a port like this then I would appreciate the help. Is it normally just editing some config files or would I have to dive into the code? Thanks again.
[G1 General] hyperspace290:
Looks like someone has beaten me to the punch. Anyone interested shout go have a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19648827
[G1 General] punshkin:
not exactly.

that is a port from a source-build for the hero

but very close

looks like the dev is trying to make a source build for the dream.

you could contact him so you can work together
[G1 General] ezterry:
Really get the cm9 source, pull forward the dream/sapphire device trees from cm7 (or firerats port of that) and it ought to be alright.

There seems little in the way of true cm bits at current (sure to change soon) but most of the hardware backwards compatibility patches are alredy in cm9 from the looks of it.. for all I know this is a cm9 build since aosp has no hero device tree out of box.
[G1 General] hyperspace290:
I was going to reply to that thread but since I'm still considered new I can't post to development threads. I guess I will PM the dev later to let him know I'm interested in helping him out.

Why would you build for another device if the dream has built into AOSP? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me unless they flat out took out the board file in ICS but you could easily put it back by pulling it from an earlier revision.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSXR11:
Hi, I'm considering a Xoom for my 10 y/o daughter as a christmas present, but I have a couple of questions.

The useage would be movies (from SD), music, and general surfing and android games (angy bird etc). What may be a deal breaker is the ability to use flash intensive web sites.

Currently she has a mac G5 1.6Ghz PowerPC that doesn't play at all nicely with flash intensive web sites, namely Moshimonsters.com and educationcity.com.

Although I'm new to Android, I'm not scared to root and try different roms if required (I've 'hackintoshed' my netbook so am familiar with the sweaty palms while waiting for the final reboot!).

This isn't a replacement for a desktop as the old G5 does just about everything she needs apart from the poor flash playback so if the Xoom would be capable of that it would be a win/win! I'm thinking that a Xoom is cheaper than a new desktop and seems like a great piece of equipment in it's own right for travel/sofa surfing.

So the question is do any of you have youngsters in the family that use the Xoom for moshimonsters.com and don't complain about it being laggy/slow?

Thanks in advance and sorry that the first post is a Q, but I have to start somewhere on my journey into the depths of Android and I have spent sveral days googling but finding no definitive answer!

All the best,

Ian
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I tried both websites for you and they worked fine. Educationcity.com was snappier than the moshimonsters.com, but they both loaded fine and flash video downloaded and played fine.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trig0r:
Have you looked at other devices or are you set on a Xoom?

Quick poke on google gives a few places under £300..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSXR11:
I'm not 100% set on the Xoom but I went to PC World and had a play with a few tablets and the solid feel of the Xoom along with the connectivity options and battery life make it my favourite so far.

The promise of ICS in the future is also appealing.

I'm very willing to hear suggestions for alternatives (in the UK), and my target price is around the £300 mark.

I'll check out the pricing again but I'm a bit cautious when it comes to sellers that I'm not familiar with (stock is in China and it's not a UK model etc), thanks for taking the time to check and reply :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trig0r:
I looked at the 7" A100, its a cut down version of the A500 but with the smaller screen and less storage, however still has the mSD slot so onboard space not so much of an issue. Ended up ordering the A500 instead mainly down to the screen size.

If you want ICS then you might want to have a look at a few other "Android Dev" forums on here, you can see what the popular devices are and that might influence your choices.

Yeah I'd rather get it from a known source but there seems to be some places selling for around the £270 mark, order it on a credit card or whatever card you have thats got some sort of protection on it, just incase, if all comes good then your saving yourself at least £50 which can be spent on screen protectors, sleeves, cases etc
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSXR11:
I tried to get a feel for the A500 at PC World but the one in my local store wouldn't power up. I seem to be able to find the Xoom cheaper than the A500 right now?

I thought (although I may be completely wrong!), that there would be an official OTA release of ICS for Xoom? This may save me the headache of root, roms & kernels!

Thanks for all the input.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
There will be an official ICS release for the Xoom. IMHO, it is the best Android tab currently available, all things considered. Also, I have a Tegra2 7" tab and it's sweet and pretty snappy but it's just too small to be really useful. A 10" screen is much better. Put a nice comfortable and protective case on it that can also double as a stand, get one of the charging docks, and your kids are good to go.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokbosh:
for this planned use you may find a cheaper alternative to Xoom... How knows?

You should only do it when fully charged. Charge your phone to 100% then leave it plugged in for another 20 minutes, till it's at around 4200mV. Delete batterystats.bin and it will be replaced during reboot.

Hey guys just wanted to show you some screenshots of the famous CyanogenMod. I am running version 7.1.0. I haven't had any real problems with the ROM yet and i have been running it for about a month. Only thing i have really noticed is that it won't vibrate when i get a text message... even when its on vibrate. Another thing that bugs me is that you do not have the option to set a Live Wallpaper... but you get over it. The kernel i am using is the stock kernel with this ROM... I am wanting to flash a 1.5GHZ kernel, but i never seem to have that much luck flashing kernels and always get stuck at the boot screen. This ROM is plenty fast enough and very smooth on the stock kernel. I also get amazing battery life. :) Check out the thumbnails below.

Read the links to the original post to know the differences. 10.2.2 is faster than 10.2, more stable and adds TW4.

Coming from CM7 you need to Odin back to stock, flash a Samsung based rom with voodoo kernel and convert all partitions to ext4.
