[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
I prefer running a ROM that has full functionality as in word use(SIM card) as well as EPST (## Phone codes).

Without those primary functions it's just a fun thing to try out to see if you care for the direction that a particular developer is moving in.

Some contributors to the cause will actually post weather or not their ROM is fully functional in those regards.

Other folks just port something purdy and claim to have tested it to work on our world phone.

What's the point in having a ROM that requires you to flash a stock based ROM just to access data programming features like ##3424#, or ##778#?

That seems kind of AppHole Ish to me.

I don't want to upset the folks that work so hard at cooking up some fantastic ROMs.

As I stated earlier there are quite a few excellent developers that post very accurate details regarding the ROM they have built.

Just seems to me that a lot of folks are pumpin out some ported half baked sugar cookies and callin it a pizza.

Oh well that's why it's called DEVELOPMENT.

i stay stock, mostly. but mainly for reliability.

The only time I use sense is when its Andy's stock. I don't really know what deodex zip align or any of that means. Keep it simple stupid ;)

In case you are curious =)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
So, I know this is a horrible analogy, but I'm giving it my go. Zipalign is similiar to defrag on windows. Where when you defrag it arranges the bytes is a more smooth way for the disk to search and access the information?

Again horrible analogy, but I'm hoping to be in the right direction of thought
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
Is everything 100% stable on AOSP? I remember there were a few drawbacks due to issues with HTC releasing firmware.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I would say CM7 builds are stable as it gets. Try Lefty's KANG, it even has the T9 dialer feature.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] laureanop:
Lefty's kang with aerovan's . 8 bfs kernel is as close to perfection as it gets. Cm7 nightly 134 as well.

If you don't mind the slightly lower quality of pictures and videos cm7 based is the way to go

Thanks to Team Kang you can flash a different modem/baseband via ODIN if you don't want to wait for the full update.

NO, this does not include wifi calling, it just changes the baseband from KID to KL1.

If KL1 is not working good for you just flash back to KID.

Go here and FOLLOW directions.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookitzjohnny:
KID speedtest was at 1.2mb/s - 2.0mb/s download with 2 bars of signal

KL1 speedtest now at 4.8mb/s - 5.1mb/s download also with 2 bars of signal!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alzorak:
Can anyone take a screen shot of before and after?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
For some it could improve your signal and for others it might make signal worse in which case you would have to go back to KID.

It varies on your area.

For the most part it's to improve signal, but coming from the Vibrant I know that's not always the case.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
I see. Thanks. But if I flash the 2.3.6 update through ODIN I'll already have this new modem, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
yes-then re flash cwm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
Thanks for the info on what the radio does. Seems harmless to give it a try.

Radio and wifi calling aside, the new update can mostly be overlooked? Normally I'd be all over this but juggernaut is too good to me right now.

thanks again and team kang
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Yeah, pretty much. I have no need for wifi calling so I got what I needed which is the modem. Gonna test out tomorrow and see if it's any good.

It's really easy to flash and won't mess with the rom you're in.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Docmjldds:
Just an FYI... I was on BeastMod 4.1. I was given a Samsung link via TMobile techies to upgrade the firmware, which also enables wifi calling. The Techies MUST and I repeat must enable your specific account to have wifi calling if you want that aspect to work. Also, I did end up losing root. Just redid the Odin stuff to get back root BTW. The Kies utility also shows the upgraded firmware info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Been using the new modem for the last two days thanks to team kang.

My download speeds havent improved. What has improved is the ping. on the old modem i was getting 860ms for ping but now its only 43ms. much better.

Version 1.0 is out will update pics tomorrow

Image below is that of my first release.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

What it has:

-Ics styled notification bar(almost done ran into a hickup with the images)

-Roboto font

-Ics animations

-Ics bootanimation

-New signal meter

What needs to be done:

-Replace the rest of the images in the framework and systemui that are not the same as the ics images

-possibly theme some of the apps

How to install:

Transfer the theme to the root of your sd-card.

To install you must have clockwork recovery dont need an unlocked bootloader to get it go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390771

If you already have it or when you get it do a backup of what you have im not going to be held responsible for your lack of backing up and you not wanting the theme anymore. Or your bricking, breaking, exploding, impoloding, or someone stealing your device.

After BACKING UP!!!!!!! Install the zip it has worked for me three times(wanted to make sure it worked) reboot and enjoy

Hope you enjoy!!

In version 1.0 i fixed the unreadable menu bug looks less like ics now but is easier to use. I'm waiting on feedback from the developer of apktool before I go any further with this theme this is the final build until I figure out why the framework wont decompile and compile correctly.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?odf2ocuo0kup0o6

Here is V1.0 the updated version

http://www.mediafire.com/?mxm511q9vj33r98

If you want the bootanimation flash the previous build followed by this one and it should work if not let me know.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] odst0016:
If anyone had tested give feedback please the build I'm running now had more accurate battery
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ekklesiaillusion:
Installed, noticed that some of your battery icons were the same for say 50 to 60 and when playing music it is difficult to see the song name in the pull down notification menu, it is black and the back is very dark transparent, might just be me though. Great start though, like the transitions.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] odst0016:
Thank you for your feedback battery is more accurate now and going to fix the weird music and download notification thing tomorrow when I'm less inebriated lol

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MinionOfEckerd:
Just flashed it over. Looks pretty good! The menu labels however are black on black, meaning I can't read them. :( When I go into Gmail, select to change the labels of an email. A list pops up but I can't read what any of them say.

EDIT: Also the menu that comes up when you long-press the homescreen can't be read.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] odst0016:
What do you mean long press I did it and could read it I'll revert the menu changes back or look for how to change menu txt color

Edit nvm I know what you're taking about was thinning the home key lol. The issue is I need to change the pop up window txt color and menu txt color I think.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] odst0016:
I think I found the fix to the menu music and download issue just need to get a working apk tool the one I'm using does not transfer the modified files over. Going to try the linux one in a bit.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ekklesiaillusion:
i noticed the same issues you already are working on fixing. The clock font color being the same as the battery/signal color would be nice to, just a suggestion though.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] odst0016:
I know I'm going to what happened is I entered the wrong hex code in as soon as I fix those two issues I'll upload a new build

You can just install zip from sd.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] marzak:
Since I wanted the bootanimation, awesome btw, I installed the rc and v1.0 This looks great except the bluetooth, wifi, alarm, and 3g radio bars are all grey instead of blue. Should text in settings be blue as well?

I just got home so wifi and 3g icons have cycled.... only the bluetooth and alarm icons are actually grey

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faDol:
is there a way to repartition the internal sd card ? i want to increase the 2 gb partition for the apps storage , it would be good to take some space out of the usb storage as its big enough

i tried to use clockworkmode and use partition sd and set it to 4gb and 256 mb cache but it did nothing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
Hmmm.. I been wondering how to do this also, but it's not so easy as it sounds..

I guess you'd first have to download an official Samsung ROM, the latest "full" one -including a .PIT file- and modify this .PIT file with the correct addresses and block sizes of the partitions you want, and then flash this .PIT back on the phone (using ODIN or Heimdall, though I never repartitioned a device using this latter program. I find ODIN less user-friendly, but less of a pain in the butt to use also).

But I never tested it (for lack of time up to now.. It's incredible all the things that I end up wanting to customize on an Android.. xD) and I don't know what this would give when you flash a stock ROM on the newly partitioned device, because this ROM would expect to find some particular partition layout that just isn't there anymore.. It would probably only work with a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod.

With a Class6 card, the speed will be equal to the RAM, so you won't notice if the swap is on beside of the fact that you'll never get any low RAM related FCs. Maybe the sdcard's life will be shortened, but notice that I never saw an SD that died because of this....

Will this be considered an upgrade?

Only you guys know how is the dev section with the sensation (i love roms, so want a phone that gives me flexibility on that)

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] gonintendo:
If you want good dev support, I say get a nexus s. (Or stay with the g2x, idk what the scene is like on that particular device) I got one for that very reason and I haven't looked back since. What it really comes down to is whether you like sense or not. If you have even the slightest disdain for it, I say don't get the sensation. Most of the best roms are sense based and IMO the aosp rooms are pretty lacking as of right now. If sense is your thing, go for it. Though, I will warn you, the screen on the sensation is of considerably lower quality than the g2x. Don't let the resolution fool you, the pixel densities of the two screens are pretty similar. And the sensation has a low quality tn panel while the g2x has a decent ips panel.

I actually miss my G2x, it wasn't a bad phone just bad software :) I would not consider changing to the sensation, get a better phone like nexus or wait 1 month to get a really awsome phone that we dunno the name of yeat :) I mean that we are inbetween generation switches right now so don't wait 2 month but 1 is alright.
