[General Questions and Answers] renehd2:
Hello guys, as the question say... Do you think Google should integrate Google talk with google+.?

Why?

I think it would because it would make thinks better and I think Google would win more users and it will help us to have Things more organized

Post your opinion..!
[General Questions and Answers] CarlosBattousai:
I think it would be pointless. No one really use "Google Talk" which people often mix up with "Google Voice".

I love Gmail but never once used the Google talk messenger that's embedded in to it. I just don't see how that would help boost Google+ numbers.

Random side note: I love Google+ find the mobile app and "Huddle" (Yes I still call it that because it's COOL) to be world better then Facebook crap. But what really screwed Google + was when they open up for beta and took two months to open it to everyone. They lost all the Google+ hype.

Just wanted to trow that in there.
[General Questions and Answers] renehd2:
Well maybe you say that because you don't use it. But many many people use it because is cleaner and easier than other messengers, so I don't see why have huddle and google talk when you could integrate Google talk and all of his users with google + and expand it and make things more organized
[General Questions and Answers] CarlosBattousai:
It's just my opinion I don't think Google Talk popular enough at all. I never hear about Google Talk unless they meant to say Google Voice XD

I think it wouldn't help Google+ number right now.

Now if Chrome OS where to come out with an install for PC's on a massive scale THEN I can see this integrate being worth wild.

That's just how I see it~

Sorry you feel gtalk aint popular but your horribly wrong

[General Questions and Answers] renehd2:
Well actually google talk is one of the most used messengers, maybe you and your friend don't use it, but there are millions of active people using it, I don't even use it nor my friends but that's why I'm asking because I think Google talk is great and easy to use, and hell is built in every android phone, just as bbm is in the blackberry, but some people don't see it like that
[General Questions and Answers] PromaneX:
Dead wrong. Tons of people use gtalk. also, you can already use gtalk from your google+ page so I'm not sure what this thread is getting at?
[General Questions and Answers] renehd2:
Yo can with the page but not with the phone, with the phone you get another messenger when you download the google + app, and I don't see the reason of that o. O when they have a good messenger already...
[General Questions and Answers] paszczi:
I really hope that the integration won't happen. I love GTalk - it's simple and uncluttered. Integrating it into G+ would make it just another social page messenger.
[General Questions and Answers] Delicieuxz:
If all of Google's features can be integrated into one without pushing any of them in my face then I'm all for it. I'll just ignore them if I don't want to use them.

Hi all,

I've flashed the latest Nik_IncredibleS and it works nicely. Seems my phone is working faster :)

But I've some problems about USB mount :( (NOTE: I couldn't see any camera-related issues described in rom's xda-forum thread.)

I don't have any internet connection at home, so I'm connecting to the Internet over my network provider's 3G via my phone. I'm activating 3G connection on my phone, then connecting the phone to the PC via USB cablle. Now, here's what happening when I plug my USB cable to PC:

1) Phone asks me what to select.

2) I select USB Connection.

3) Network connection symbol appears on my PC's desktop.

4) My phone asks me the same thing.

5) Network connection symbol disappears ony my PC's desktop.

6) Again, I select "USB Connection".

7) Again, network connection symbol appears.

8) Again, my phone asks.

9) Again, network symbol disappears on the PC.

10) Again, I select USB Connection.

.

.

.

I successfully connect my PC to the internet after repeating steps 4-7 at least 3 times!

I've flashed USB Mount fix (described in the thread) but nothing changes.

Here's the details:

ROM: Latest Nik_IncredibleS

Kernel: 2.6.35.14-RCMIX-VIVO-gf17016b-dirty

Radio: 20.4802.30.0822P_3822.10.08.28_M

Please help.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kalel_293:
i only get the audio...im on stock rooted el13...repacked el13+ cwm kernel...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halojinx:
same here, I tried renaming to both bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip but no go. on stock el13 also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Open a root file explorer and navigate to system/media and tell me if the boot animation is named "bootanimation.zip", or "sanim.zip". I can try to make you a flashable zip if it's ok with the crawrj.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halojinx:
when i flash the boot animation it installs the bootanimation.zip into system/media. I'm thinking it might be the stock kernel. The kernel has to have bootanimation support right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I'm going to try to post one for stock people in a few.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Make sure your kernel supports boot animation. I am stock el13 with stock rogue kernel and it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
People having trouble on stock kernel try this: http://db.tt/Z3pfNCYJ

If that doesn't work, toggle signature verification off in recovery and try this: http://db.tt/5HKEtB2s

If that doesn't work...then sorry, I tried.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halojinx:
thanks for helping but still doesn't work for me. I will probably just use a different kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Ok. Sorry bro. I tried.:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
i got this to work perfectly while running rogue stock EL13 kernel, just downloaded the zip in OP, placed on sd card, went to the zip using root explorer, touched it once to open it, went to system folder then to media then extracted the bootanimation.zip, renamed it to sanim.zip, then moved it to system/media, restarted phone, and it worked perfectly. However, i could not figure out where to move the sound to, i moved it to system/etc but didn't do anything, so if anyone could tell me where to put that, id be grateful ^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halojinx:
Using custom kernel works, just not on stock el13 kernel. Audio file should go into /etc folder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
isnt the rogue stock EL13 kernel a stock kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halojinx:
It is stock but he added bootanimation support .

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harfot:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
as harfot sayed that you cannot instal that one ROM.

But wait for official ICS which will come to OTA soon.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aky9908:
But i able to change my previous original rom. From FW:4.0.2.A.0.42 to Xperia_AniKing_v1.0.0_Ice Cream.

about when the official ICS will be announced?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
You was able to change to Xperia_AniKing_v1.0.0_Ice Cream, because it's a ROM for locked BL too.

And it's the only one of it. So you can stay at stock ROM or that, but nothing else, so you won't be able to flash ICS alpha.

It's hard to say when it'll be released, but it's a great step from SE to release an alpha build.

I'd hope that there is a official ICS ROM until end of January. :D

So the about the [ROM][ARC/ARC S]{4.0.1} IceCream Sandwich Alpha [ROM:v01][Kernel:v02], if wanna do it and what should i do 1st?

Cause i try to flash but can't. Is it I havent unlock bootloader?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeNeQ:
Yes it is. Unlock bootloader. It's really easy and safe I think... And it's easy to relock bootloader.

You've to unlock your BL, flash DooMLord's ICS Kernel with fastboot, and flash his ICS Alpha ROM and the addons/fixes via CWM. ;)

Hello Guys,

since Yesterday i have the Problem that i can´t downloading stuff from the Amazon Market. I has allready worked fine the last Day (i´m from germany).

But now if i clicking on "Get Free" the purchasing screen appears and the than i go back to "get free" but nothing happens.

Someone have the same issue?
[Kindle Fire General] animez:
I had some similar issues the other day. What worked for me was clearing cache and data on the appstore app.

Go to Settings>More>Applications and change the filter to "All Applications". Scroll down and select "Appstore". You may be able to just clear cache and force stop at this point but I cleared the data as well before stoping the app (you won't lose any apps).

Go back to the appstore and try to download again. Hope it works for ya.

I have a similar issue.

Since yesterday I can't get the free apps anymore. When I click on it, it says purchasing, then goes back to "get free" button.

I was using a "test" credit card to get the apps because I'm not in the US.

Wonder if amazon fixed the leak or if its just a temporary glitch.

I did clear the appstore data and cache, and after that I got this problem. Don't know if it could be related or if it was just coincidence.

I cleared the appstore data and cache because an app got stuck in the installing process.
[Kindle Fire General] abhishekagrawal:
not working for me either since yesterday, i am also using a fake US address and test credit card. clearing data and cache did not help, but i was able to get free app of the day from the computer and then download on device.

after that i just clicked purchase (on free app) and it was able to install it from store.

Hope it helps

Amazon has fixed the vulnerability and I can no longer use it from India using the Fire, on trying to buy any free app it says Appstore is not available in your region, i had made an account with fake US address and a test credit card.

[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
Hi there!

Following a simple question asked today on twitter:

Would you like Samsung to keep Google official Launcher and Keyboard as built-in alternative in their upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich releases.

I'm very confident this poll will be eventually read by people @Samsung and I need your help and weight to push this idea further.

Answers on twitter showed a very clear trend: Now let's convince Samsung ;)

Launcher:

My personal opinion is that TouchWiz launcher has been a lot smoother and easier to organize than Google/AOSP launcher2 on Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread.

I'm very much impressed by ICS Launcher so I'd like to be able to choose it as alternative to TW, at least to try it as it's just beautiful.

Keyboard:

I'm testing almost every keyboard on market and tend to return to Smart Keyboard Pro every time. ICS keyboard seems to have reach a new level, I'd very much like to have it as well.

Note:

I know some of you hate TouchWiz for historical reason. I respect everyone's opinion ^^

If I can ask you one thing: try to write messages as efficient as possible to motivate Samsung people, knowing they have to keep TouchWiz stuff because it's the product people bought with Gingerbread.

Edit: Please remember the poll is not "will Samsung listen to us" or not. Things are evolving in a good way even if I cannot guarantee the result.

[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
Hey,

I'm asking here if you would like Launcher to be available in the ROM (you know, as alternative home).

Of course I don't believe Samsung would make AOSP Launcher the default one, nor that it would be a good idea − just confusing user with change.
[Galaxy S II General] deezle:
When I say disagree, actually I don't.. why not have the choice to go back to stock.
[Galaxy S II General] eRajesh:
Without a doubt! Also Samsung please make TouchWIZ 4 on SGS3 look less cartoonish
[Galaxy S II General] redbullcat:
Do it, Samsung! :D
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
They should keep the official ICS launcher ;)

If they don't then there is a thing called Android Market :D

I don't care about keyboard as long as Swype is included.
[Galaxy S II General] andpantanal:
Fully supported this cause! I think the TouchWiz does not correlate well with the ICS. Samsung, please do not force us to have to resort to custom-rom as the Galaxy S!
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
Yup its true we'll find AOSP launcher on Market as well.

However experience seems to show AOSP launcher on market are:

- Commercial

or..

- Not updated (might stay a buggy and/or vulnerable 4.0.1 launcher forever)

That's the main reason I believe a built-in AOSP launcher is easier and safer.
[Galaxy S II General] buzzboy:
I vote keep the original launcher.

Sorry Samsung, you are covering up a thing of beauty this time.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Right.

Samsung also should understand that mixing TW with Gingerbread is a completely different thing than doing the same with ICS.

Some things are good on it's own.
[Galaxy S II General] desean:
Samsung could make TW default but give users an option to disable it to go stock. Have options is what many Android users want, so going along with this crowd can never be wrong :)
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
Yes I'm sure they must be working hard right now to blend ICS and the existing Touchwiz user experience while keeping something consistent visually and in terms of features.

This request seems reasonable, I only hope they won't perceive the idea of keeping ICS Launcher as well as an equivalent of "we failed to merge TW and ICS, why we kept ICS launcher".

That's not my opinion. It's really about ease and choice :)
[Galaxy S II General] scarmon25:
I personally thing with the built in option to freeze/disable apps. That if they included the AOSP launchers and keyboards then that would do away with the need to root for alot of users. I see alot of people rooting to remove bloat and get rid of the touchwiz launcher. Now I know that you could just install both but lauchers always seem to run better from the system/app folder as do keyboards. For me at least. I think it would be a good move on Samsungs part to take the advice here and just leave the two apks in there.

I've been using ICS on my old SGS1 since it was ported by teamhacksamsung until now. Why? Because it is better than the previous ginger and froyo even when Touchwiz on top of it. I like Touchwiz better than any other launchers out there(on my SGS1 & SGS2) but when using it on my SGS1 it changed my mind. So +1 on supercurio's perception on this. Sadly still using Touchwiz on my SGS2 but still waiting for samsung or teamhacksamsung to release it for SGS2 and of course with stock ICS;)
[Galaxy S II General] blackdeath09:
Dear Samsung if you really care about your customers you would probably listen to us. We know you are very proud of Touch Wiz. Actually Touch Wiz 4 is pretty good has a lot of great features but you have to understand that there is no launcher like the new AOSP one. Is so great, still so easy to use, is the greatest ever made. So please, we don't ask you to drop Touch Wiz but to include also the ICS AOSP launcher as an option in ROMs and we promise you we will not uninstall the your Touch Wiz. Just think about it. Is like your Pure Breeze UI. You could include it in your ROM and make your ROMs a bit user friendly.

Also please Samsung. We all love swype and we appreciate your standard keyboard. I know people who really do. But you have to understand again, that the new ICS keyboard is so great, it brings us to a new keyboard standard. We don't ask you again to drop Samsung keyboard support but to add it into the ROMs so we can chose what keyboard you like. Don't make us to go chaseing for Custom ROMs when we could just use yours if you listen to our wilshes.

And a final demand Samsung, please support developers more. The Samsung Developer Community is pretty big and great and I'm sure you don't want to lose them. Team Hacksung and other developers (Supercurio too, Chainfire etc.) are doing a great job but without your support there is nothing. They need you to be cooperative, to help them with info, documentations, source codes when they need them. It would be better for everyone and your sales would grown even more if you are more friendly with community.

We thank you Samsung for your great devices and please, listen to our wishes and make them happen.
