GPLv2

so basically they need to release changes they made to the ROM and then it will be out of violation
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
But I thought only the kernel was under GPL? Isn't Android under the Apache license?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tylermaciaszek:
yes android is under Apache, miui did not and will not released modified kernel source which means that they are in GPL violation. They can still distribute software but XDA does not tolerate GPL violations so will not let that rom be on the threads
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
Then why is only Galnet MIUI affected? The MIUI threads that haven't been locked contain the source code of whatever kernel the developer decided to post with the ROM. The Galnet MIUI thread did contain the kernel source, but it was removed either before or during the thread being locked. Even if the original ROM doesn't have the kernel source available (as with most MIUI ROM's), the specific port the thread was about used a different kernel with source available.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Ahhh.... can you post it on android forums? If you pm me ive got someone who may be able to persuade android forums to allow it (if they already do) :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
yea id like to know this too will ALL the miui threads be closed ?

everyone needs to pound there forums
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
A couple of other components are also GPL, like busybox and a few others. There isn't much though, and my understanding of MIUI was that they pretty much weren't capable of doing their own device bringup and relied on a CM7 bringup for any supported device. I assumed that all of the GPL components fell into the "CM7-base" category.

While I don't use/support MIUI, I'll see if a moderator can specifically identify which components in the Infuse MIUI port are covered by the GPL and missing source - depending on which they are, most if not all may be replacable by Infuse developers. It'll have to wait until I'm on a real PC though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skatin707:
It's just a shame, miui is a fantastic rom. Too bad there is only so much one can do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BoOsT:
I was curious of this.... I haven't been a active member very long, and hated to start debating with a moderator. However, I DO NOT believe it should be shut down based off the kernel alone... I linked my kernel, thanks to you ^^^^^ :) I will pm the mod. Maybe he can enlighten us?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BoOsT:
I need all the help I can get lol this is my first ever Droid. Haha October till now has been my learning experience.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tylermaciaszek:
the GPL states that if you modify a source you must release it and MIUI modified the MC source but never released the modified source as CM is a closed source ROM so that makes then in violation of GPL. XDA does not support prople who do not agree with GPL. all miui has to do is come out and let us see the source!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] woooeric:
Hopefully something can be worked out. I love my miui

infused miui
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Auto-Android:
Galnet miui was the best miui rom imo. "/ sad to see it banned
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/...ull=1#post7923

Here guys maybe this will help. As for getting the roms go to the Galnet site and i am sure you will get all the roms you have come to love. Now as this is not really open for discussion, it is what it is and lets leave it at that. As for MIUI goes yes the default MIUI kernel dose violate the GPL and any rom using it will be removed but as lng as it uses a custom kernel that the source can be linked to then it is as ok as an MIUI rom can be lol

[General Questions and Answers] ukayani:
Guys looking for updating their GT-P1000 from Froyo to GingerBread:

Just go download "Mobile Odin Pro" from some blackmarket link.

Get the firmware for Gingerbread 2.3.3 you want to install. Upload it to you tab's disk (not the external sd card).

Start Mobile Odin Pro. It will ask you to update some software extensions based on your mobiles version and then all you need to do is to search the firmware file on you phone and select it automatically.

and then flash it. That's pretty much it.

Cons: this Mobile Odin Pro currently only works for few (3/4) Samsung mobiles. GT-P1000 happens to be one of them

Remember: Try to open the zip file on you computer and make sure to update all the required files after extracting the zip file. You can always create a new zip or rar to upload to you cell.

In case of any questions feel free to contact me. (usman.kayani@gmail.com) or PM me if they don't ban me

P.S: i am working on finding a solution to update GT-P1000 to icecreamsandwich custom. If i have the updates i will gladly share them with you. Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] ukayani:
just so you know, i have tried various gingerbread 2.3.3 updates and they have all come with few bugs.

If any one finds a perfect one, please let us know.

Various Firmware issues:

Unable to use USB to connect with PC or to be used as a charger

Text Messages not recognized

Taking too much RAM

App force close issues. (Have to install each app again)

Froyo available maps and navigation tools not available

and few other issues not at the top of my mind right now. However as i keep looking for the prefect Gingerbread update i will update accordingly. Thank you

USB Connection Issue Resolved

It turned out a hint in this post on USB connection trouble fixed my problem... "somehow" the device's USB port was set to 'modem mode' and I had to type *#7284# on the phone keypad to re-set it!

In my case UART was on modem so i set it to PDA and voila!! windows 7 had some driver updates and i had USB connection.

However i still have to resolve the USB Charging issue. Any help/ suggestion will be welcome. thank you.

how do i upload pics from my PC? cant seem to find a link
[General Questions and Answers] ukayani:
Can any one provide me a "free" download link for:

CSC: P1000OJPJJ1

Phone: P1000JXJJ1

Actually these are part of the official "Froyo 2.2" GT-P1000 in Pakistan (Carrier: Mobilink). I was having signal problems with other Gingerbread 2.3.3 roms i updated.

I want to downgrade to Froyo with "P1000JPJJ1" rom (which i have), however cant seem to find the exact CSC and Modem file.

I will also appreciate if some one can advice me on how to get the modem settings saved from an official tab and transferred to my tab.

Please correct me if i am wrong.. i order to get my signals working, i have to have the correct modem file? right combination will be:

Base Band: P1000JXJJ1

Kernal: 2.3.32.9 root@mea04#1

Build No: Froyo.JPJJ1

*#1234# would then show:

PDA: P1000JPJJ1

Phone: P1000JXJJ1 (Required)

CSC: P1000OJPJJ1 (Required)

Any help will be highly appreicated

[HTC Jetstream] Daniehabazin:
Hi, when i tried to flash rodgers roms on my att jetstream i got a incorrect cid, and that got me thinking, maybe it will work with a goldcard.

sad to say, it doesn't work for me, but i only tried with one card, maybe anyone will have more luck.

here is the link for how to make the goldcard: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

if anyone wants to know why i want the rodgers rom instead of the original one that came with the tablet, it's because it has more stuff from htc, like wi-fi hotspot.

hopefully this will work for anyone.

oh, in the guide when you type "cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid"

make sure you type mmc2 because that's the external sd card

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I am getting fed-up with AT&T and am exploring options for my GNEX.

I was looking at the pre-paid T-Mobile plan with 100 minutes and unlimited data (up to 5 gigs, 2g speeds after). This seems like a good deal as I use little voice and nave Google Voice if necessary (via data network).

How does this work? Can I go to Walmart, buy the cheapest ($29) prepaid T-Mobile phone, activate with this $30 plan then toss my SIM in my GNEX and all will work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
I bought the Sim online from Amazon for $4 and activated it on t-mobile.com with that plan.worked without a hitch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Thanks. Have a link to the Amazon product? The one's I'm seeing have users complaining that they are old sim cards.

Also, can I take my GNEX to a T-Mobile store and have them sell me a sim for $4.99 (as listed on their site) and activate the unlimited data plan there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
back in the day i bought some cheapie pre-paid Target T-Mob phone for like $20, took out the sim and put it into an HTC HD2 i got off of craigslist and it worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jadeus0831:
I thought I read it was a Walmart exclusive deal with T-Mobile, meaning only in Walmart stores or online... Feeling the same here about att and wanting to switch to the $30 plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
that plan is for Walmart and t-mobile.com only and not for T-Mobile stores. this is the one I bought

http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Tmob...RY06/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1322514224&sr=8-6

some reviews are saying that its an old Sim but it depends on the marketplace seller that you're buying from. the one I used, I forgot the name but it was compatible with Amazon prime, sent me a new one so it worked for that plan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I have this plan. I bought it directly from T-Mobiles website. Works great for me cause I hardly use voice, and in the rare occasion that I might go over 100 minutes. its only 10 cents a minute more, so you'd probably never exceed the price of your current $60-$100 plan.

edit: this reminded me I need to call soon to cancel my even more plus plan that I have suspended wasting $10 a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Right, so does Walmart sell the SIM by itself? I don't want to purchase a phone just to throw it away (even if it's only $29). I'd like to run to Walmart today and try this out as I'm headed out of town tomorrow (and don't want to wait on Amazon 3rd party shipping).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clearym:
I have this plan. I ordered my SIM directly from T-mobile.com and activated it thru their website. Just be sure that you don't order a SIM card only, you need an SIM Card + Activation Kit. The activation kit is just an activation code you'll enter when activating it online, but I'm not sure if there may be SIM cards for sale without activation kits.

Edit: I think I paid $6.99 thru T-mobile.com and it came with ~$3 to apply toward my plan. Not a bad price...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
when I went to Walmart to get this they told me that they only sell it with pre paid phones. Sim kit comes inside the phone box which is why I decided to buy online. choice was either straight from T-Mobile.com or Amazon. tmo was 6.99 and Amazon was cheaper with no tax and free shipping so I want with Amazon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Thanks for asking this question, I was about to make this thread myself (after seeing a few people talking about it here in the GN forums). I currently have a EM+ plan that's $70/mo after taxes. That's 500min, unlim text, unlim (5gb) data. So its really worth it to literally cut my bill in half by going this route.

How are you planning to set up google voice over data? Using one of the apps with a SIP account? This is the 2nd part to using this plan, is being able to just use GV with SIP while at home on WiFi or in a solid HSPA+ area.

Also for anyone who has moved to this plan, were you able to port your number over to this plan from T-mobile? I've heard there are issues with this because the $30 plan is for "new subscribers only".

TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I'm pretty sure you can't port. You'll get a new number. No biggie if your already a google voice user and use that as your main number.

edit: also, if you plan to use google voice with this plan. You need to call and ask them to disable voice mail. so your voice messages will go to your google voice number, and not use minutes since you never answered the phone. Also, call forwarding is disabled on prepaids, so this is why you need to disable voicemail on the t-mobile line if you want the messages to go to google voice and not to the carrier voice mail. just skip the voice mail setup in the google voice app, but set it up for voicemails on the google voice website for that phone number.

you also need to call to disable webguard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
The plan would have been ideal for me if I could use conditional call forwarding with Google voice Voicemail. I would have probably ordered the GN form Espansys by now. it just a small thing but, I really like the way Google voice works. I have separate greetings for personel and, business. This something I don't want to give up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Couldn't you just set up personal greetings per contacts in google voice on the website, or by groups?

edit: i just looked. you can do it either by contact, or by groups. it should work fine (I haven't tested it). you'd need to disable t-mobile voice mail first by calling them to disable it. then after a certain amount of rings or time, the call would automatically go back to google voice (if no one picked up), and go to google voice voice mail. basically bypassing the lack of conditional forwarding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
So you can actually use Google voice Voicemail with a pre-paid, you just have to have them disable the T-mobile one? I didn't realize this. Have you done this yourself?

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Yeah, that's actually how I have it setup. From what I understood pre-paid plans don't support call-forwarding so, I couldn't forward my missed or ignored calls to GV. I've been hearing a lot of mixed ideas on this and, didn't want to take the chance it wouldn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
yeah, that is how i do it. i don't have personal greetings. but my voice mails go to google voice app or site, since the t-mobile line never gets picked up and it's voice mail is disabled.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Just order one the new sim, test it out, and if it doesn't work like you want it, don't use it anymore. You could always suspend your even more plus plan for $10 a month until you know you want to keep the $30 plan. That is what I did.

edit: woops, you weren't the one that said they had even more plus plan. But either way, its basically a $30 test to see if it meets your demands. I think it will if you set it up properly. disable t-mobile voicemail, and disable webguard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
Thanks, I will have to test this out. I have a Mytouch 4G and, I will test it out on that. If it works, I may get the GSM Galaxy Nexus and, port my number over. This has been one of the things holding me back. Of coures by the time I do this, the Verizon version may be out and, I'll have a decision to make.

I've also heard that they only charge you 10 cents for every minute you go over. That's too good to be true for me. I checked my usage patterns and, I only use about 170 minutes a month on average.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
I'm interested in this as well, one question though:

Are T-Mobile to T-Mobile minutes free?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I don't think so. Could be wrong, but don't think you get any features like mobile to mobile, nights and weekends, or anything like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jagwire:
I was able to call up T-mobile and switch from an Even More Plus plan no hassle. CSR just said she put through a form and 24 hours later my number was ported to this new plan. Did this like a week ago? I recommend this plan plus GrooveIP for free wireless calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] detection:
I'm so glad I found this thread! I've been thinking about this for a little while, and between this thread and another the idea is really growing on me. (Of course, the phone itself is certainly pricey...)

A question. I am currently with Sprint and have Google Voice integration. It's totally awesome. I'm also at the point where I'd like to keep my number because it's a pain in the ass to tell people a new one. So if I were to switch, I'd have two options: port to T-Mobile or port to Google Voice.

Now, I'm really not concerned about minutes. I hardly talk on the phone and when I do it's a few minutes. However, if I do port my number to T-Mobile and then find that I need to turn to GrooVeIP, I'd need to use a different Google Voice number to contact people. I would also really miss texting through voice.google.com on my PC.

If I port to Google Voice, I would have a similar experience as I do now, except for texting I would have to use the Google Voice app. I hate that app for texting. However, I did find this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.MDRTools.GVMI2&hl=en. If it worked as it says, it'd be worth the buck. And as far as calls, I could have it ring my T-Mobile number, right?

Not sure which would be the best course of action. Thank you for any input! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
If you want to keep your regular number then I'd probably recommend just porting over to T-Mobile and using Google Voice to make your phone calls with a separate number. Whichever the path you take though, it will ring your T-Mobile line. If your preference is texting through your computer as well then I'd say port to Google Voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Did some more tests and added screenshots below. I don't see how this could be considered "slow" or less than T-Mobile's normal network. Speeds are great.

Question

I want to travel to USA, I have a GNEX unlocked, can I buy a Simcard and then buy a prepaid data plan?

Wich one do you recomend me?

I don't care if it was AT&T, Tmo, etc. because the phone works in every band...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ivoniko:
Get one of these if you will be staying at least a month.

I posted a link but then realized it doesn't work. Just google T-mobile monthly plans and they will come up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
If you want to save money and have faster (in bigger cities) then go with T-Mobile. If you want to spend more but have more 3G coverage (albeit not by much, lol) then go AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Depends on the length of the stay. If its anywhere around 2 weeks or more I'd say that this $30 plan is the best really. You'll probably be using a lot of data and not many calls. There are other "pay by the day" type plans but they kinda rape you on cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegodbm:
I will be in USA for about 2 or 3 weeks... mostly in Florida...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Double check coverage maps of the Monthly4G t-mobile plan, but I think this $30 plan is your best bet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
I'm doing the same thing, going to florida for a lil while in the summer with my Nexus and am planning on wither getting this plan or the $3 a day plan to go with my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbdynsty25:
Definitely just go with the $30 T-Mobile 4G Monthly. You can always add more money to your account if you go over the 100 minute limit. It just costs 10 cents per min. if you go over. So it's not terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
So Ive been testing grooveip and for me it has been rather diiapointing actually.

But I tried talkatone and it is near perfect to be honest. If anyone feels like giving it s a shot I highly recommend.

http://www.talkatone.com/android-preview.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, Talkatone on my old iPad 2 worked much better than GrooveIP does on my G Nex or my Prime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Cool I'll take a look. Never experienced it on iOS, but if its in the AppStore I'm assuming its doing relatively well?

Hows the quality over 3G/HSPA+?

And what settings have you changed? Seems much more bare bones than GrooveIP (its in alpha, so I'd expect this). The things I like about GrooveIP are the native dialer integration and auto-start after reboot (Just less things to deal with).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
I havent even tried it on wifi to be honest. Only 3g/HSPA+, and I did it in the same places I tried groove ip and with talkatone it was almost perfect while with groove ip not acceptable at all.

I would say it for me it feels like I am talking on regular cell service. I have not used it enough to say how reliable it is but for now and for a beta it is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
okay great thanks. Any specific settings you've checked to make it good or have you just left it be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Nope, I left it the way it was default. Who knows maybe if I mess with it it could get better lol, but for now Im happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Just tried Talkatone on my GSM G Nex. It keeps crashing when I try to put it on speaker. Can't turn up the volume, either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It is in alpha.

Made one 5min call over HSPA+ and everything seemed crystal clear. Made 2 more calls and they were pretty ****ty, then a 3rd that was fine. Still testing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravynmagi:
I ordered the $3.34 SIM activation kit online a week ago, but it still hasn't arrived. So I decided to stop by a T-Mobile store and see if I could order one.

I told them I wanted to get the Monthly4G plan online. They were unaware of the plan I was talking about, but said they's sell me the $3.34 activation kit for $10. I asked why is is the "$3.34 activation kit" $10? He said it's like that online too. He was full of it, because I already bought it online and it wasn't $10. But it wasn't worthy arguing over a few dollars.

I took the card home and tried to activate it, only to get an error that the SIM was already active. At the store they gave me some paper work with the SIM's phone number on it, so I just realized they activated the SIM in the store.

So I created a password for my account and logged int. Went to manage my plan and discovered I could not choose the $30 100 minute unlimited data plan. Son of a ...

I assume I'm screwed because they activated it in the store and choose the pay by minute plan by default.

Think I'll just call this a waste of $10 and wait for the kit I ordered online to arrive.

By the way, the clowns at this store also guaranteed my GSM Galaxy Nexus won't work on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. So my fault for not running out of the store quicker.
