This was just posted in the Australian thread. The carrier Telstra is already testing ics from Samsung and I'm guessing in the process of bloating it.

It's official... Telstra to release ICS for S2 in early April

[Galaxy S II General] goku_mn:
Well said. So true, honest, and real.
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
I do respect your point of view and agree at some points. However, there are some diagreements:

Customers supposed to receive immenent update since source code is being released not post released one, might be google blame, otherwise the vendor should clearly state no immenet release update to be available or at least support devs by releasing source code on timely basis as another vendors DO for colloboration and effective update process.. That's the way google created android by giving customer freedom not applish way of behaviour. With Android 4.0.3 Sammy seems tied up it's open source policy, that is what many advanced customers didn't expect!!!

Considering 90% of phone users are noobs, sales figures are just useless in this case. Polishing software is an explanation of update release delay. Presumably, Sammy is being busy on new gadget development, so update is not priority in terms of customer satisfaction.

Customers don't and shouldn't care abount company's inner processes, THEY WANT IT NOW NOT TOMORROW.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Just reposting this. March 1st was never an official release date by Samsung. It was a date posted by Eldar Murtazin. He's a blogger who is rarely right on these things. He takes a minimum of three guesses per topic and hopes that the dumber among us only remember the correct guess. It seems to be working here.
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
What?! There is nothing I repeat nothing wrong with gingerbread as far as most of the 20 million users are concerned.

Why would Samsung put out ics before they are ready and run the risk of flooding the market with upset customers etc.

Be very surprised if you get ics preloaded on a new SGS2 from the shop any time soon.

Take a breath.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
They or you just want it now? Come on people!!! Stop this nonsense!!! If you want ics go to a store who is selling one and shove it up your phone or preferably wait till sammy releases a almost bug free one. Don't be like "Y U NO GIVE ME ICS!? I WANT ICS NAW!!!"..
[Galaxy S II General] cipry189:
not talking about those leaks as you can see most here are waiting for the official release, I thought I didn't have to mention every little thing, but trolling post hunters like you don't quite get it.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkMcLovin:
What makes me laugh is that for some reason, people believe that when they buy a phone, even in today's standards of receiving patches for fixes or updates of the OS, that they are entitled to the latest updates.

You need to realise that Samsung, and any other company, does not have to release an update for your phone. At all. In anyway, shape or form. They don't even have to make a fix, to fix it, in the event that something is wrong with it. You would just have to send it off, or get a replacement (depending on how you got the phone in the first place).

The same goes for ANY medium that can be patched or updated. Like Windows, iOS, Linux, or software like Spotify or Netflix.

Hey guys I really need your help, I have an HTC Evo 4g and i was rooting my phone using S-Off and i did all the steps needed to root it until i came to the part where i had to download SU and extract into my sd card. The only way for my sd card to show up on my computer was to change my phone setting to mount as disk drive, that was the only way i could of placed the zip file into my sd card. After i was done i put it into charge only mode then i did the hboot and launched CWM. I tried to install SU as a zip file like followed but i came across an error that said installation aborted cant open file (bad file) can someone help me?

[Also i did the fix permissions thing and it didnt work]

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] BlackRabbits:
Hello all,

I'm curious to see if anyone knows what would be required to port an Inc2 ROM over to the IncS. There are a few threads I've found that don't seem to contain much in the way of concrete information...anyone with a handy guide, or willing to put one together?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
there are guides out there, but honestly some roms will port with just a few lib changes and a new prop and service jar...others require serious debugging and hours spent looking through logcats

depends on if it was a stock rom for the device or if you are trying to port a port...which porting a port isnt recommended

[HTC Sensation] TheEyes:
Oh relax. You know what the "patent" in question is? It regards being able to tap on a phone number and have the number appear in your dialer. All HTC has to do is release a software update removing this basic, obvious functionality (which has prior art stretching back to the 70s, but somehow Apple "invented" it in 2000), and the ban is lifted.

Unfortunately the US Supreme Court has decided to not play by its own rules, and so software is patentable. It used to be that math and other basic research was not patentable, but then it also used to be that corporations did not deserve stronger free speech rights than ordinary citizens. These kinds of ridiculous rulings will persist until we come to our senses and stop letting lawyers, who naturally have a vested interest in prolonged legal battles and an increasingly litigious society, serve as judges and lawmakers.

[HTC Sensation] InverseSandwich:
Apple know they are loosing in the mobile OS battle, and they will try and sue anything that stops other handset manufactures and OS developers from becoming the best.

I really don't need another reason to want to crush apples. I love apple cider :-)

I can't believe so many were duped into ios world, which operates like a Communist system. My friends that own iPhone have been so many times to Apple store to fix the problem (unsuccessfully I may add).

The only outstanding feature of ios is that devices running on it are a lot more expensive. What a joke...
[HTC Sensation] chris100575:
Apple suck, I'm pretty certain that my Nokia N95 used to be able to turn numbers in text messages into links but I notice they're not going after them. They'll probably claim to have invented front-facing cameras next.

I don't even believe this will affect Apple's market share, people who buy iphones do so because it's an iphone, simple as. They don't care what Android can do because it doesn't have an Apple on it. On the other hand, I wouldn't have an iphone on principle because I hate the restrictions, the ridiculous lawsuits, and itunes most of all. I even hate the mis-capitalisation of the names. People in either camp are not going to have their loyalty swayed by a tiny feature, and suing over this smacks of desperation. Get a life Apple.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Apple sauce is slimy! HTC rocks!
[HTC Sensation] Dav3y001:
Phones have been doing this before the iPhone existed. It seems apple have to look for things not claimed by other companies so they can claim it as their own, where as the other companies don't see it as something they have a right to own...

[General Questions and Answers] soughtmind:
I have downloaded SetCPU in my SGS2 and capped my processor to max-1200mhz and min-600mhz. Will it harm my phone if I switch to performance mode which is max & min at 1200mhz (full capacity).

:rolleyes::confused:
[General Questions and Answers] ExMM:
Well I think it depends on the hardware. But I would never recommend to push it at the max frequency, first of all you will decrease your battery life as well as your CPU lifetime since it will produce more heat.

Obviously it can depends of how many times a day you are using your phone to that max clock. If you are experiencing spontanous reboots that means the clock is too high, if not, well.. up to you to keep it like that.

I overcloked my Hero at 710 Mhz for about 2 years (the max capacity it's 748Mhz) and my CPU suppose to run on stock at 525mhz. I can feel my phone been a little hotter compare to the original clock but it has survived until now. (finger crossed)

But seriously.... ask yourself do you REALLY need all that power from your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Hey All,

New to XDA but been using this site years so my level of Android knowledge is not bad.

I am currently having a huge problem with my Nexus. I used Google Apps encryption on it recently and that seems to have bricked my phone. I am unable to reset to factory settings to wipe the encryption as recommended by Google and I am stuck now with a bricked Nexus.

I also tried flashing stock roms with Odin which appears to work but the encryption still remains. All I am trying to do is put the stock back on my phone and re-root but I am having no joy. When using CWM to flash a new rom the system does not mount in recovery mode so I can't load any other roms. I have also tried the fastboot method but it stalls on waiting for device all the time.

If anyone has seen this and can help or if anyone just knows how to fix it please help me! I am stuck now with a useless Nexus. I should have just left it alone but as usual I couldn't.

Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
By some chance is your phone both rooted with CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Hey, yeah it was so when I did a factory reset it could'nt use the stock bootloader so it didn't know how to wipe it. Unfortunetly once you apply encryption from a Google Apps the only way to remove is to factory reset.

I got around it by fastbooting the stock bootloader, radio and image from Google. Then I completed a manual reset using the original bootloader.

A world of hurt really! I have learned a lot but never going near Google Apps encryption again. It also slowed down the phone too.

Anyhow all sorted now, re rooted and running revolution rom now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] radi0chik:
theres another thread with a guy who had the same problem. I wonder if vzw nexus has an issue with encrypting...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
If the phone wasn't rooted I would have had no issues. It is simply a problem when it comes to loading roms. In CWM the recovery cant mount the data/system so you can't flash anything. Also doing a factory reset from settings doesnt work because the phone is looking for a stock bootloader which it doesn't have once you root. So I ended up in a loop and could do nothing. Fortunetly I learned all about adb and fastboot this morning, never heard of them before and that allowed me to reload stock and unroot. I still had to wipe the phone using the bootloader as I couldn't get into the phone or past the encryption.

If anyone is having issues with this I will gladly help as I really thought that my phone was bricked and was very frustrated. The only way I got help was from a guy on this tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392037&page=3

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basyo89:
Hello everyone

my device is SGS 1 , I flashed VODOO Lag fix on it

and now I want to flash a newer firmare or Cyanogen ROM

What should I do with the lag fix ?? just flash a new rom or what ??

knowing that VODOO lag fix can't be uninstalled .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxySN00B:0:
you have to undo the lag fix before flashing a new Rom, as the lagfix converts Rfs files to Ext4. (which makes it faster for the phone to read) but the framework is build off of Rfs file systems, so before flashing a new rom go into the voodoo lag fix app, and there should be sumwhere that says convert bak 2 Rfs or undo lag-fix. OR if you have Odin and a stock Gingerbread Rom, you can just flash a stock GB Rom over it without undoing lagfix, then flash a custom Kernel to gain root access again. i do this as its a cleaner flashing method,

REMEMBER IF I HELPED TO CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON :p :D

For removing manually the su you need a root explorer i.e. ES File Explorer.

Hello folks,

I started experiencing the touch screen issue where the bottom part is non responsive and since I have 2 months left of my warranty I decided to go back to stock and send it in for repair.

Once I used the MicroSD that came with the phone and goldcard-ed it and it worked. However now when I try the same method and try to install the RUU I get the 140 error.

I bought a Kingston 2GB MicroSD and goldcarded it as well. No luck. I tried the H-BOOT method by extracting the rom.zip and renaming it to HEROIMG.zip - still no luck.

Any other ideas? I looked all over the place for a woking solution but nothing works.

I have modified the partition sizes, but /system was left pretty big (200 MB) - I don't know if that matters. I currently have the Elelinux v3.6-custom2 ROM.
