[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
A question for developers.

Today I read that the Huawei released an ICS ROM for the Huawei Honor.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/12/huawei-honor-gets-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrade-feels-honored/

The Rom is available here:

http://translate.google.com/transla...method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3826&tb=0

The Honor uses the same Qualcomm MSM8255T that the Flyer does.

I admit that I don't know much of anything about Android Development but I would imagine that two devices that use the same Qualcomm chipset must be pretty close to each other. I would imagine that the difference would be things like the radio, camera and Wifi.

I guess what I am asking is whether this release from Huawei (which appears to be a stock ICS build) would be a big head start for a Flyer developer? I am sure that I am missing or overlookiong something in asking this question.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rushless:
Well, you enjoy your new fangled HC. GB = Winning :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I wonder what bits and pieces can be pulled and used. I am not sure we get a functioning rom out of this, but maybe some new apps to play with
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
I wonder if Huawei will release the source code for the kernel anytime soon. Sounds like that's the biggest obstacle to the Flyer getting ICS right now, so if somebody could build a kernel from that source without needing too much modification, it might make it worth it for a developer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
The Huawei ROM is no help. The kernel source code might be a little help. Since ICS is built on HC , the HTC Flyer HC kernel source code would be a big step, but that's not available yet.

Theoretically you could build a bootable ICS ROM right now if you tweaked the boot code to work, but the cameras, video playback, sound etc. would not work, so what would be the point?

If you want to get a feel for what is involved in the marking of a ICS ROM, check this thread for beta ICS on the HTC Desire.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1355660

Almost a month into it and they are still trying to get binary and source code for drivers. Without the HTC source code, it takes a lot of hacks and a lot of things won't work. It's virtually impossible to fix somethings because you can only hack in so much without source code.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
Do we have any good reason that HTC won't release the complete source code?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Also waiting for Qualcomm to release binaries and source code for Snapdragon chips, but they do not have to do that and may or may not. It has certainly been requested.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Oh I know this has nothing to do with the flyer but thought it was worth a post

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/16/android-4-0-3-source-code-pushed-to-the-aosp/
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Yeah too bad none of the hardware for those releases are at all similar to the Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
The current state of the Motorola Xoom unofficial ICS port shows you what is involved in such an effort. Without hardware vendor source code, a number of things cannot be made to work well.

Motorola XOOM gets an unofficial Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich port

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nader1450:
anybody install ICS in flayer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Scabes24:
Nader you need to start reading and facing the facts..

Things you CANNOT do with your Flyer:

-Install/update to ICS

-Flash HTC View Roms on your Flyer

-Use a 64gb micro sd card (as far as we know)

-Use capacitive buttons or make phone calls on HC

Nice concise summary Scabes24.

Hey, never say never!

They released kernel source here

Its for gb, does it help anything?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
HTC Flyer (HTC WWE) - HC MR - 2.6.35 kernel source code

I think its for HC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Nice, you're right ikingblack, that just went up today.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Cool.

Does this help with ICS at all?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
possibly, they are much more similar than GB->ICS.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
http://m.gizmodo.com/5865701/what-does-nexus-mean-for-android-anymore

Thoughts? We had a terrifically lively debate back before the Nexus was released anyone change positions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanaganD:
I don't agree with the direction the Nexus Phones are taking.

In my opinion

IT SHOULD NOT BE

mass consumed

a big profit generator

tied to any carrier.

launched with exclusive carriers or retailers

It SHOULD:

Be top of the line.... of everything. display, sound, graphics, memory, build.

Be expensive (to offset non mass production and to pay for the hardware)

Be fully functional so that devs can use all aspects of current standards to dev (microSD issue)

Include as many 'near to market' technologies as possible

Because.... why? We need a single really expensive, but proof of concept product to really push research and development in that direction. And the mass market is easily satisfied with phones like the HTC Desire or Galaxy S2 of its day

And I would pay for one... because I use my phone more often in a day than I do in a month with other toys that are more expensive (hiking gear, shooting gear, fishing gear etc) .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Exactly. I'm game for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
I think the reason it's being mass marketed right now is because no device makers really do vanilla Android and offer straight updates without modifications as soon as they're ready. If there was a handset maker or two filling that niche already, I bet the developer phones would fit what you listed there. And I think if the Galaxy Nexus does well on Verizon with the soft launch and limited advertising they're doing, you'll see more of those pop up in the future.

But I agree. I want a top of the line development phone that I can buy direct from Google or the manufacturer and tinker with regardless of which carrier I personally happen to be on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I don't agree with the expensive part. Not all developers are well-to-do with a lot of money to splash on non-contract phones. If Google has to make deals with carriers so that it can bring affordable dev phones to more developers then it's a necessary evil.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
The Nexus line has never been and will never be bleeding edge. It's intended to set a benchmark for devs for all other Android phones.

There will always be higher spec Android devices that are released concurrently with the Nexus. If you want bleeding edge, grab the Android de jour phone. Not a Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pacifik:
Yeah the nexus s was ridiculed for not using a dual core SoC, it only really offered nfc as a new hardware feature. All the nexus phones are comparable, hardware wise, to the most recent superphones offered by manufacturers. The nexus line only really ushers in Android at its newest and purest form from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wingzer:
Dual core phones weren't even at market when the Nexus S was released. Possibly it should of been delayed to ensure it did, but the first few dual core phones were all Tegra 2 based if I remember correctly.

Which for intents and purposes isn't a decently powerful SOC.

If memory serves me right without googling I think the Atrix was the first dual core smartphone released.

Which wasn't awfully fast, battery life wasn't good at all and had a fingerfull of optimized games that never really took off.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mariborcan:
Hello guys I've just installed 2.3.6 official rom on my SGA. I've noticed some thing that really bugs me... The lock bug. I had 2.3.3 on some time ago because 2.3.4 had the same thing when you unlock your phone it laggs so much that you have to wait like for 2-3 sec so you can work on it. Not long ago I installed 2.3.5 which was even worse from 2.3.4 so I downgraded to 2.3.3 and last few days I've noticed a new version of stock rom was released the 2.3.6 which works better then 2.3.4 but still laggs... Does any one know any solutions how to fix it and please don't advice me any custom rom cause I like the stock. My homescreen is almost empty and the device is clean so I should be a problem in some app or something :).

So any solutions?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ndmuni:
I ve just installed it root, v6 supercharged, loopiness tweak, cf root, a2sdgui and changed modem to DXKPD and boy its superfast and of course no stock bootanimation. Try it:D

EDIT: I also remove quite a few apps that are in the system that can be installed on sd.

Hi,

It`s possible to change language in my HTC HD7 with Mango to for example Czech ?

I know that there is a way before update to Mango by changing sth in reg.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
i am unsure what you are asking...

could you rephrase? perhaps also include the question in your native language?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sthEn:
He is asking if there is a chance to add additional languages if he is already on newest Mango with only default langs.

There is a way to do that BEFORE Mango update simply by adding values via Registry Editor, but what if someone bought his phone already with newest Mango?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Alright heres one for the experts. Plugged my phone in last night before i went to bed. Woke up and unplugged it. Phone said it was still charging. My thoughts of course were simply "awesome -_-". So proceeded to turn the phone off. Even when the phone was off, it still claimed it was charging. The cable wasn't even plugged in. So I pulled the battery and put it back in, giving me the same result. So I plugged the charger back in and unplugged it and that temporary fixed the problem. I unplugged it and then would keep hearing beeping notifications claiming i was plugging my charger in and unplugging it. Now naturally im thinking its a hardware issue and thinking it may be best to take my phone to an AT&T problem and work towards a warranty replacement. I just dont know how that works so ill have to read about it. I dont want to have to go a few days without a phone is the only thing.

If it helps im on unnamed 1.3.1 using entropys latest kernel with the blue monkey theme.

Also if anyone would like to chime in on a warranty replacement process please feel free.

Thanks in advanced XDA members.

EDIT: My phone was reading 88% and now its going up. Is currently at 91% and not plugged in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
FREAKING awesome! Perpetual energy phone.

Lol, ok, not. Does indeed sound like a usb port gone bad. Seems complaints like these are popping up more often. Must have been a few bad batches. I'd say take it back to stock and return it. Not worth worrying about total failure.

Though I'd recommend taking it to a place farther away from where you first got it, less chance of getting one from the same batch. Or ask if they have gotten a new shipment of sgsii's in.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Lol that literally made me laugh. But thanks for the reply. Planning on returning to stock and taking it back. Should i go to one of AT&T's device support centers or just go to an AT&T retailer?

EDIT: flash counter is at 1 but no "!" ...guess ill have to wait my jig to reset it to 0 before i try and do a warranty exchange?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Any place will work fine, corporate or not, as long as they have sgsii in stock. Worth calling before hand to make sure.

Nobody has yet reported being denied warranty from the flash counter being tripped. But I say better safe than sorry. Just make sure to follow the directions exactly. Some have reported their phones being really jacked up after using it. By far the minority, but nonetheless.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonytooth:
I left Verizon for the Galaxy Epic 4G Touch with Sprint. Service isn't up to par, I am leaving, so I have options.

1. I can go back to Verizon and get the Nexus Prime and have 4g (any day now).

2. I can pray that Verizon will get CDMA LTE version of the note (probably never).

3. I can buy a black GSM unlocked Note (today)

4. I can wait for a white GSM unlocked Note (soon)

5. I can wait for AT&T to get the Note (who knows)

Since I made a big mistake by switching to Sprint for this phone, I need to be sure I make the right choice this time around. I think the only carrier I would consider outside of Verizon would be AT&T. My beef is that the Note isn't 4g. I can live without Ice Cream Sandwich in the Note cuz it will most likely get it in the future if not, I can ROM it.

If it were a perfect world, I would get a white Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Note with ICS. I would be such a happy camper. I guess I am looking for advise on what you would do if you were in my shoes. Thanks much!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
SGP speaker cutout is not perfectly aligned, but it does not affect speaker volume at all. I've got the black one. I also bought the TPU case and Otterbox Impact case. The SGP is my favorite of the three. I returned the Otterbox & keep the TPu as a backup.

Keep in mind the SGP is perfect for someone who removes the case from the phone on a daily basis. Literally takes 1/2 a second to do.

But on the flip side, it's not a super tight fitting case. More like "adequate".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] falcon26:
I ended up getting a clone of the SGP off Ebay for $9. It fits perfect. But it adds alot of bulk to the phone which I do not like. I think I will probably go with the ghost armour

Very nice Case. I had to chuckle because the headphone plug is actually a bit too snug I think I'm going to have to gouge it slightly I have spot to grab on it to be able to more easily remove it to plug a headphone jack in.

I also wish it didn't expose the chrome side strip like it does, but its still a nice case. Very happy with it.

edit: Just realized when the plug is put in correctly there is a white tab that sticks out on the back to grab... whoops. :)

What ROM did you use to get to Cricket? My parents are leaving Sprint and don't want to buy new phones..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkmj:
Generally, flashing over to another carrier isn't handled by a rom, but by "flashing" (different than flashing a rom.) It requires editing network information to get the phone to connect to another network. I haven't had that much experience with Cricket, but I know that they are willing to flash your phone at the stores when you sign up for service. Granted, some of their flashes are "Voice and text only" but you can search on here, there are many ways and tools to enable data. Once I leave the office I'll look for a few links and post if I find any.
