Yeah a stable fully working ICS would be very good. Zdzihu is abroad and have not enough tools and time there so any dev helping would speed up the Development alot. I think 4.0 is very good and we all should help with our knowledge to get it working.
[XPERIA X10 General] Frosty666:

In other words, be creative :)
[XPERIA X10 General] spaarc:
I know ICS is amazing :D

But I don't quite have the knowledge to cook drivers etc.

I can't even download the android source code at the stupid Internet speed I have ...

All can do is mod :(

If I knew driver coding I would surely help him

I could try modding ICS :D:D:D

How about delagging stock 2.3.3. What a laggy firmware... But I like the SE UI!
[XPERIA X10 General] MAGPC:
+1

I haven't change the stock ROM, since it was released (I used to flash froyo and eclair roms once a week, now Kernels only).

Simply in my opinion, stock SE rom is finer than any MIUI or AOSP roms :D
[XPERIA X10 General] TAL333:
Why don't you develop a new more advanced kernel for 2.3.7 - 4.0.1. Many believe that the 2.6.29 Kernel is holding things back.:)

[XPERIA X10 General] festa20:
Very pleased to see you back Spaarc buddy :D

Needing a little advice myself in terms of AOSP if you can help?

Anyway Goro is already Porting Xperia 2011 Kernel to x10

2.6.32.9 and has it booting so its kinda unnecessary at the minute

Maybe just make your AOSP perfect :)

The only thing missing from x10 right now is sense... I know you've tried it and its hard but there are ppl out there who have had it working on x8 sgs2 and other devices, maybe get some advice and give it another shot?? The amount of testers will be huge if you get it working mate

Regards
[XPERIA X10 General] spaarc:
Oh yeah cool ,

It will take me months to port sense

If you could wait I will try

It is very very tough

I make no promises

But aosp will be here shortly

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stedj:
Hi Guys,

Loving my transfer from iphone to the Gnote, i find android impressive but i have a question, how can i transfer music to my Gnote? I have tried Kies but i can only move 1 song at a time.......totally leborious!!

Help!!!!:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ik911:
Just drag the files to the sd card in mass storage mode
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] padlad:
Or maybe create a playlist in windows media player and then import it using keis?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
In the android world, its very simple... Forget about Kies.

1. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB Cable.

2. Mount your SD card so that your SD card appears as a D: or E: or any other drive in the My Computer section of your PC.

3. Copy all your songs to the SD card. Create a "Songs" folder if you like.

4. "Safely remove" your device / Unmount the SD Card.

5. Enjoy your music on your Android Phone. :)

By the way, you can do this on any PCs. So, if you have some songs on your laptop & not on your desktop, you can connect to the laptop & still be able to transfer your songs from there. You don't need Kies... or other softwares. It works very much like a pen drive really...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
i just create a playlist in windows media player and sync that playlist. but for some reason, the playlist wont appear in my note. when i did it with my old atrix, the playlist would appear in the music player.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] davidgood89:
slow mtp

Hello everyone,

just wondering if anyone else is experience pretty slow file transfer speeds? I'm getting it both with Kies, and with drag and drop (on my macbook). I'm just putting about 29GB of music straight onto the SD card. It's a class 4, so nothing special, but the whole thing seems to take quite a long time. Maybe I'm just too used to filling up a usb stick in seconds, but I'm sure the SGS was faster in this front.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] padlad:
If you are simply transferring files, you are better off putting the Note into mass storage mode: Menu > Settings > Wireless And Network > USB utilities it should be faster that way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
There is a less annoying way to do this.

Plug the GNote into a USB port.

Open the notification bar and touch the USB notification line.

Sends you to the same place but you don't have to tunnel through options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
I just recounted the last few days in my mind and was blown away.

In 5 days, the XDA community has argued, hypothesized, tested and rapidly narrowed down the problem with the volume control is most likely to be 2G 900MHz interference. Now I don't. Know about you, but I'm blown away.

iOS5 has a bag of problems. Users are cluless as to the cause. Only a few have done diagnostics. I just read yesterday that the Lumia 800 has a bunch of issues. WP7 has it's own. Don't get me started on RIM.

The point I'm making is not to bad mouth other OSs or OEMs, they have their strengths. It's just to say this has further strengthened the reason why I'm getting the Nexus in spite of this (single, arguably big) issue - some of the best and most critical people will be using the device and developing it. THAT, is something you won't find in any stats page.

So to everyone that has helped, and is still helping, a massive thank you from me.

P.s. I'm expecting a package in the next few days so I can hopefully join the diagnosing. :-)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mermaidkiller:
When I select Settings => About phone => Software update I get this:

When I do this, do I lose my root ? I have a CWM 4 on my Galaxy. Will this be wiped out and do I have to install a completely new rooted kernel ?

And can I recover using Titanium backup ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I never received such an OTA update.

Why don't you update your Firmware/ROM yourself using Odin?

That's how I do it since I have got my phone.

So, I just can suggest.

I recommend to make a backup before.

Start your phone into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power).

As you have CWM recovery, choose Backup&Recovery => Backup.

Additionally you can backup all your apps (+ app data) using Titanium Backup.

Then you should be on the "safe" side and start the OTA update - if you really want to do it.

You do not know what you will get. Surprise, surprise.

If only your apps are gone, just restore them with Titanium Backup.

If you just lose root, flash a rooted kernel containing CWM recovery (such as CF-Root or SpeedMod), and you will have root again.

And you will be able to restore the system backup you made before updating.

As you do not know exactly what will be installed and what will be cleared on your phone, I would not do this OTA update.

Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

and download and flash the latest version (XWKJ3) as non-wipe version with Odin to your phone (as described in the first post).

You can root your phone afterwards by flashing CF-Root or SpeedMod kernel (and maybe get rid of the yellow triangle) or use Intratech's Quick Root Guide to gain root without the yellow triangle.

So you will exactly know what will be installed to your phone and you will have the control of what will be delete from your phone too.

It is your choice.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Most likely yes because the new firmware will bring new kernel along with it .... it'll replace the existing kernel with new non-rooted one ..... remove the CWM Recovery and root ..... No titanium backup does not recover root only application and data ...... Personally getting and OTA is pretty cool ..... we guys having waiting for an official update for our region sing 5 months :( ........ Just re-root by flashing CF-Root again that's it.

Thanks Jason just tried it on 1.11.18 and worked perfect. Keep it up.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
I just tried this rom, too. CPU SPY said that Deep Sleep is unused state of kernel. So this will drains battery faster. I have returned to stock with Inteks V15 kernel.

EDIT:

After reinstalling it works good. Sorry!

Mine is going fine in deep sleep, maybe some app is preventing it from going to deep sleep.

Thanks man, I was able to port my first MIUI to portuguese language with 1.11.18!

Many thanks Jason and keep your nice work with the xperias, specially Neo.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
Very good tool! I have converted succesfully Czech + Slovak version of MIUI :)

Thanks!

known bugs:

-Barcode scanner and Layar shows black screen

-when tweaking Autobrightness parameters then it crashes and sets screen to black and helps only removing of battery

I found partly solution for this. If you want use Layar (or Barcode Scanner) then launch it and when you get black screen then normally lock screen and just unlock it and screen from camera is on. :p It's good for layar, because it has no alternative for my country. Wikitude is similar but not substitute.

I tried this on MIUI 1.11.25 ENG

[Quantum General] noxo:
I managed finally to unlock my LG Quantum with Rebel SIM II product. For my suprise in addition to Rebel SIM, USB Smart Card reader were also included in package.

Before Rebel SIM method. I tried unlocking codes without luck. My device was eventually in such state that it was prompting PUK and then PIN code in loop - entering PUK code or unlock code in prompt didn't help. I also tried flash between AT&T <-> Bell firmwares, no luck.

And of course Rebel SIM wasn't working straight from box.. I tried it on several unlocked handsets and got "no SIM card found" error.

The solution were to reflash Rebel SIM card, which of course had some issues when doing it on Windows 7.

Here are the instructions to flash Rebel SIM card firmware. Some one of you might be luckier and the Rebel SIM card works just out of box.. Or you might not need the workaround for Smart Card Win7 driver. It all depends what OS or Smart Card reader you are using.

*** I don't take any responsibility if you break something, or the trick just don't work for you ***

A. Download from Rebel SIM

===========================

1. Firmware (rebel-II_v1.cardfm) for rebel SIM

* http://rebelsimcard.com/virtu/images/downloads/rebel-II_v1.cardfm

2. Rebel Configurator software

* http://rebelsimcard.com/index.php?dispatch=attachments.getfile&attachment_id=79

B. Installing Smartcard reader driver for Windows 7

===================================================

1. Plugin Smart Card reader to USB port

2. Wait until Windows 7 installs driver from Windows Update, it will fail installing one driver.

3. Go to Device Manager, and look for Smart Card device without proper driver

4. Right click Smart Card device -> Update driver software->Browse computer for software->Let me pick

5. Select "Smart Card Filter" from "Common hardware types" list

C. Flashing Rebel SIM firmware

==============================

1. Plugin Smart Card reader to USB port with Rebel SIM card + dummy SIM

2. Open Rebel Configurator software

3. Re-select FT SCR 2000 0 from reader dropdown list (will reread Smart Card)

-> File loaded

-> FT SCR 2000 0

-> 3B 96 11 40 .........

-> Standard card in reader

4. Open custom firmware

- rebel-II_v1.cardfm

5. Write firmware & presets
[Quantum General] andrevcv:
hi guys, I've exactly the same problem with mine quantum, but I missed something, how this rebel simcard works? it unlocks the simcard instead of the cell phone? making it looks like the official carrier that was preset at factory? my quantum is at&t locked, and I'm trying to use an Oi (brazil carrier) simcard.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
what does icloud do that android doesnt? from what I see, it stores your contacts on the cloud, Android does that.. it stores documents on the cloud, android does that many different ways but officially with google docs. Music is in the cloud (google music) It seems like every thing that the icloud does there are tons of android apps/services that do the same stuff.. Some officaly made by google, some by 3rd party.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I understand what your saying. The icloud backs up everything and if you have to reset your phone it sets it up exactly how u had it. Like titanium backup would but u need root for that.

I had an Evo and it most certainly did not do that, nor did my Evo3D....in fact I'm pretty sure that's one thing Sense just never did. Now, when I installed Cyanogen (or anything else close to vanilla Android) I was blown away when I wiped and booted up and decided "screw it, I'll set it up again later" and came back to a nearly identical phone.

...also when I had my Evo4G when I would change my background on my phone it would change it on my Nook Color (both with CM7). I never quite figured out how or why that happened, but, I did rather like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
In ICS Google has resolved the issues with your settings and apps being restored when you refresh your phone. It works in CM7 and in Honeycomb from my experience - but not consistently.
[About XDA developers] wbaw:
OK. You need a 'user points' system. I'm more familiar with Drupal than vb (you should probably upgrade sometime), so I'm not sure what's available for vb, if anything. You want something similar to this: http://drupal.org/project/userpoints

Users then earn points for performing certain actions on your site (not just posting), you can assign different amounts of points for different actions. Points can be removed too.

Then have a minimum userpoint limit for posting in certain forums.

Then you'd have better control over what activities you were encouraging users to do, rather than just encouraging short spam posts.
[About XDA developers] Ponsel:
Chalenge accepted.

First of all I'd like to say "challenge accepted" ;)

@wbaw: I like your Idea of a 'user points' system. To make sure that there are only posts that are above a certain level of standard, you need to create some kind of 'filter'. But I think that, such a system as you have suggested could be exploited as well. As long as there are technical rules to be fulfilled one can just do so and get his status right.

@12aon: In my opinion we need a rating system for the quality of posts and based on this a hiding mechanism for posts.

Let me explain why I came up and what I mean by this.

I have to confess that I'm a heavy user of youtube. And here you have a good example what I mean. You do not only have the ability to press a "like", "+1" or "thump up" -button but also the possibility to press "thumps down". What I figured out is, that the rating of the videos are surprisingly close to my own opinion. That implies that everyone is sensitive to the quality of a video (or post?!?) and furthermore that the average opinion about the quality is in average the opinion of the single reader itself (myself).

In the XDA-Forum you have the "Thanks" button. What I suggest is a ... hmmm ... "ingratitude" button (or just do "thumps up and down", "plus and minus", "happy and sad" or whatever you like). Each user has a single voice for each post.

With this mechanism in place, a post that is below a certain threshold could be automatically minimized. I don't mean that they should be deleted, because there might be answers that refer to this particular post. But by minimizing it, bad quality posts get out of the focus of the reader. If wanted, one can still expand and read it (by pressing some kind of an "open button").

That is the first step. In the second step there is a user rating that is based on the post rating of all his posts. So if one does not mind his behavior or is asking stupid questions over and over again. His Account is restricted to post only in the non developer parts of the forum.

The first advantage by applying this functionality is, that silly posts get quite fast out of the focus of the reader.

The second advantage is that silly poster (no offense here ^^) are removed from development forums in the long run.

The third advantage is, that one have to take care of all his posts even in the long run (writing 10 posts does not necessarily means that one have learned its lesson). So the over all quality of the forum itself is increasing.

In my opinion this functionality is a little bit better than restricting everyone (even the high quality poster) to non development forums just because they are not active enough to reach 10 posts.

The problem is, to define the threshold. I've some ideas in my mind, but that would leave the scope of this post which is to invite a new (I know its old, but new to this forum) idea.

Cheers

Ponsel

p.S. Sorry 4 my bad English. Its not my native language.
[About XDA developers] mikef:
I appreciate your ideas on this topic, although I have to admit I am really mystified by this: "....rather than just encouraging short spam posts".

Why do you believe that encouraging users to post in the proper sections with helpful answers to other users is "encouraging short spam posts"? I seriously don't get this idea. It is not really any more difficult to try a little to post even marginally helpful answers to other people in the General and Q&A forums as opposed to "short spam posts".

It is not like getting 10 not-spam posts is that difficult. Probably hundreds do it any given week here. Is it too much to ask that people read a little first, gain some knowledge, try to be a little helpful to others in the General, Q&A, Themes and Apps, and Accessories device forums, or in the general discussion forums, in order to be able to post into any dev thread on this site?

I am not sure if there is a way to add this type of functionality to VBulletin, but I think it just becomes a meaningless stat over time just like the thanks counter, and users will figure out a way to scam it as well.

This is already in the works from what I hear, there will be rating buttons on each post, enough positive votes raises it up, enough negative votes hides it (not delete).
[About XDA developers] Ponsel:
That sounds great. I'd love to increase the visibility of my favorite ROM and further more rate away bad posts.

[About XDA developers] mikef:
I would advise not writing posts to simply increase your post count. That can get the wrong kind of attention. Instead, simply try to write good posts that help people less experienced than you in your devices General or Q&A forum and it won't ever be a problem to worry about.
