"the 5.5.893 OTA update is the same update that we had leaked to us months ago. Compare the kernal and radio file numbers with someone who's just run it to your own. If you properly updated yourself to 5.7.893 before, then you should find you have the same kernal and your radio files are newer. You have no reason to want to downgrade yourself to 5.5.893 as its the same kernal and earlier radios." -- 2def on rootz

just out of curiosity, what error did it give you in stock recovery? I'm in unchartered territory as I was on .866 when i undertook this yesterday, I played with cheesecake but didn't flash...

I'm on the legit path at this point and should be scheduled for ICS next... but am wondering because I was up till like 4AM because I couldn't flash the update..

That's why I'm so lost. Everything seems to be right.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mr2324jgf:
weird... if you're not on rootzwiki, you should sign up and ask over there, more attention is being given there it seems... I have a feeling youre "stuck" because you took the leak, but I think your about will be the same as my official about... which is also floating around somewhere (not mine but someones)...

like you said though, that would indicate more drops etc.... but that's contrary to other reports
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Character Zero:
It is checking your kernel for the 886 version ("boot" is the kernel and it is checking the md5). I think you said you were on 5.7.893? So its going to fail since you can not, for now, downgrade to that kernel.

I guess the rumor going around is that the next update will be 5.7.893 and at that point you will be updated to that OTA, and ready for the next update. Also the rumor is, and these are just rumors, that the ICS update will work with any system version.

Frankly I don't see the point in not allowing phones to update. Yes, if you are already updated it won't downgrade, but as far as going from 5.7.893 to the next version, I think they should be allowed. Wouldn't you want all phones to be running with updated kernel/radio/system. All it does is punish those that install leaks for no other reason than getting access early.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] knucklesmckay:
Yea even though you went back to 886 it didn't change your kernel. Your are stuck with the kernel that got flashed when you installed the 5.7.893 leak. (Moto is kind of jerky about their bootloader encryption) You cannot flash the 5.5 leak because you have a different kernel than the official. If your Bionic is working ok though its not big deal atm, the word on the street is you will still be able to ICS.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Does anyone think any of the ROMs have a lot better battery life than stock/the other ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NitrozKC:
If anything it would worsen battery with all the mods added but I haven't seen a vast difference in battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NewMossie:
I've tried all these ROM and this is my take on them.

Android Rev. - Lightweight and fast. Features were boring for me.

MoDaCo - Interesting features, huge battery drain.

EaglesBlood - Didn't spend a lot of time with this one, the red border flashing bug was annoying.

AOKP - I liked the features but need to fix the market license bug.

Now I'm on stock ROM, i9250XWKK9 build. Hope battery performs well with this build.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
Yup, it's way better than CM7's stock dialer / contacts app. Also has Speed Dial feature.

Somehow it will FC if you're using Google Search (or search widget) finding contact, and when you try to open it will FC.

You can also download from Market for free (v45 is the latest in Market).

IMO, it's the best --- fast, lightweight, small size. Couldn't ask for more.

It's one of the apps that I must install on my phone :)

Hi, I just bought some apps in the 10 billion downloads promo, but I can't install any app that weights more than 20mb, it says I don't have enough memory, but I do, I have 90mb on internal memory, and more on SD card. How can I fix this? By the way, I just screwed something in my phone, so I was forced to reflash CM7.1, but the problem persists.

Press thanks if i helped
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mooop12:
Hmm I just installed it, but I can't get it to work, tried A2SD gui, but it gives me an error, I also tried "a2sd check" in terminal, but I'm getting lots of "/sbin/busybox: Permission denied" errors. Tried 2 versions of A2SD, the one from CF-root thread, and newest one from darktremor site.

Do you have root ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] prateek_gemini:
never encountered tht but here is how i managed to run dtapps2sd :

1) install new rom n wiping data cache etc.

2)reboot in recovery ... mount system ... install dtapps2sd.zip...

3)reboot system ..... go to terminal emulator n type a2sd install......
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mooop12:
Yep, if I didn't, I couldn't install a2sd in the first place.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] IrishRed:
None of these instructions helped me. The problem is a combination of issues related to Samsung's devices and the Market application's design.

What did was a simple app from the Market called "MarketFix." (Requires root.) It moves your Market app cache from the device to your SD card FAT32 partition.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah, what he said. Install S2E to move the Dalvik Cache to the SD freeing more internal memory than any other app.

Here's a screen shot of S2E working its magic on my phone;
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 5pace:
S2E is only for CynogenMod.

You can try using Link2SD, its good too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] IrishRed:
That still limits you to about 24 MB max on a download, even if you can miraculously end up completely clearing the cash.

MarketFix app from android market completely eliminates the problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mooop12:
Well, something got screwed up, and sd-ext doesn't want to automatically mount on boot, and the script I made to mount it doesn't work. BUT MarketFix took care of this error, and now I can install those apps :) Thanks IrishRed.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] IrishRed:

[HTC Inspire 4G] miguel11691:
Does games lag because of the ram intake or does it run smooth like cyanogen roms do... is their a differemce in 3.0 and 3.5 sense as far as ram goes
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
When I was using Bindroid with 3.5, not much of a difference between 3.0 and 3.5. I normally play angry birds, doodle jump, com2us baseball, WSOP and NFS. There was some lag at the beginning and periodically when the game had to load something but all in all, for the resource hog that is sense, I really couldn't complain. I was also OCed to 1.2 so I'm sure that had a little something to do with it.

Being on Absolution (CM7 based) now, the lag isn't as bad, the games are smoother in that regard, still lag from time to time on start-up and when I get texts but it's better, I'm not OCed either on Absolution. Hope that helps!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jawoo2006:
Just wondering if anybody else is having this issue as well. My phone (almost 6 months young) has been having issues charging at all. I know it's not my charger because I've used multiple chargers (and multiple microUSB cables). If it makes any difference, my charge port has always been a loose side.

Normally it charges fine overnight, but for some reason this past night it maybe charged the phone up to 50% and has been discharging for the past 2 hours (even though it says it's charging (the orange light is on, and the phone says it's plugged in).

Do you guys have any suggestions or am I going to have to take the phone to V and get it replaced?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] markkitos:
Other than form factor, what are the differences?? Trying to decide which to get
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Z4nd4r:
Other than form factor (which really is quite a difference), you have the following:

-RAZR has a sAMOLED screen compared to the Bionic's LCD (you can pretty much stop reading here; that alone is a HUGE and noticeable, everyday difference)

-RAZR is clocked to 1.2GHz vs. Bionic's 1GHz (same TI OMAP 4430 processor, though, I believe)

-Reports seem to show the RAZR doesn't have the data drop issues the Bionic does; this helps with battery, too, though it may be fixed in the upcoming Bionic patch.

-Nano coating (i.e. splash proof; I don't think the Bionic has this)

-Smart Actions app

Otherwise, they're both very similar. Same 8MP camera with 1080p capture, same RAM, same storage, same Android version. But you really have to use a RAZR and see if it makes a difference to you. A couple of small but significant differences can often add up to a very enhanced user experience. Also, form factor is not to be discounted. The kevlar back and thin profile are really very nice; this is the most premium feeling phone I've ever held. It also disappears in my pocket. I have this huge, 4.3" screen phone in my pocket and I literally can't tell it's there when I'm walking about; it really is that thin and light.

If you haven't purchased either, I'd get the RAZR. If you already have a Bionic and don't have a pending upgrade, I'd hold off on getting the RAZR. If you're going to use another line to upgrade and let someone else inherit your Bionic, then it's a tough call whether to get the RAZR or wait for something else (GNEx? quad core? something else?). In any case, you wouldn't be disappointed with a RAZR; excellent device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dj_spore:
Not sure what the difference is, but the bionic has Android 2.3.4 and RAZR has 2.3.5. Both will get ICS and my guess is they will both get it around the same time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech_head:
Razr vs Bionic

Both good phones.

I had a Bionic and gave it to my wife when the Razr was announced.

I like the both. The Razr is just sleeker.

A few tweaks on the OS and some cosmetic differences, but they really are the same.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
dont forget how crappy the front camera is on the bionic! takes garbage pitures compared to the razr... i had the bionic and returned it for the razr.... also the razr has smart actions... which i started to use but purchased juice defender ulitmate and tasker... i get excellent battery life compared to stock battery on Bionic... I will say this... for some reason... i did get better bench marks on cf bench with the bionic... but my bionic was garbage... Black Screen Of Death... my bottom button lights would go off and not come back on.... then the two out side buttons were lighter (yellow ish) like the lamp was burning out.... The blurr experience is tighter and crisper on the razr as well... and if you are wanting ICS it just came aboard as of yesterday to the RAZR... I really think you will enjoy the razr better... super sleek and sexy... and the screen is just awesome... people will notice the razr in your hands twice as fast as a plain old looking bionic.... but hey.. thats my 2 cents... good luck..

I applied the patch with root and it applied successfully. I manually downloaded the leaked zip to my desktop, renamed to update.zip, placed on the root of my SDCARD, booted the phone in to download mode and applied the update.

Update applied without issue but my root WAS removed. I re-ran the auto root using that zerg rush method and my root was back. This was last week and so far no issues.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
That is correct, if you only ROOTED using the auto root sticky, that will not impede you from successfully installing the EK02 OTA update. If you also installed EG30+CWM, then all you would need to do is install EG30 before accepting the EK02 OTA update.

BTW after the OTA update installed, you would still have Superuser in your app drawer, but the functionality would have been disabled. To re-enable, just run the auto root and choose Option A.

Hi,

Not sure whether to post this in the General section or Android section. But still, posting it here, as it is a bit related to the Ice Cream Sandwich OS.

The new ICS people app allows us to use higher resolution images for contacts. And it looks great on big screens. So I spent a lot of time, updating the contacts with high resolution photos. Also I made sure that I 'Sync' ed the contacts after it is done. But now, after doing a factory reset, when I tried to sync back the contacts, it is loading only the low resolution photos of the new updated pictures and not the high resolution of those pics. I checked in GMAIL->Contacts and found they have the same low resolution ones.

Isn't there a way to sync high resolution pictures in Google Contacts?
