Thanks for the info Michael,

If Im understanding you correctly, I dont think the LCD has been changed.

Under the batter cover 3 of the 4 screws still have stickers on them, 2 void stickers, and 1 plain white sticker. The last screw has no sticker.

The LCD screen seems to be positioned the same as it is in your pics, on all 4 corners. It feels like the screen is pushed very slightly into the case. The plastic rim is definitely higher than the LCD screen all round the edges.

I would take pics, but my post count isnt high enough yet.

I dont have any ultrasonic devices, otherwise I would definatly try that idea out.

Regards.

I tried to do a Factory Reset on my Coby MID1125 using the adb tools and "adb reboot recovery" command. After using this command the table entered what appears to the the recovery console but it is now stuck. What I see on my screen in the Orange exclamation Point within the white traingel next to the android logo. It is just stuck here, can't power it off, can't figure out any combitation of buttons to make anything happen. Anyone have any clue as to what I need to do? Thanks so much!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kenny66:
Grab a paper clip and push the reset button in the hole next to the power plug on the side of the tablet. That will bring it back.

I've not found a way to reset to factory defaults on this thing yet. I want to reset it and give it to my son for Christmas.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
I am here today to discuss all the possible ways of getting pics on your photon, though none of them fully baked.

1. Of all the tegra . Devices with a working port, the xoim is your best bet. Mainly because the Xoom and the photon have similair boards and partly because the the idea of ICS is being able to bridge the phone tablet gap.

2. We have working cyanogon mod now, and cyanogen has working tegra cm9 builds, if one of the cm7 porters is up to the challenge than the cm9 builds are your best bet.

3. The hardest of all solutions, is waiting for some super hacker to post their build of Photon ICS, unless someone already has a buil going than there is a seriously low chance of this choice seeing the light of day.

But this thread is also here to say that we have very good devs here and should be happy with all the work we have. If you do not believe me take a look at the atrix or X2 forums because the photon blows them out of the water.

Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dsparil:
I have faith in Motorola releasing official ICS to our Photon. This is their flagship phone on Sprint, and I don't see any reason to not get the update.

And yes we have awesome devs that do an awesome stuff with our phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Id rather wait for an official ICS build some time next year than a half assed port to be honest. We need few more issues fixed in our cm7 port before cm9 shows its face. Cybik is taking care of cm7 and is doing a very good job. I don't know if the photon is officially supported by cm yet but i know he submitted it. In a nutshell I don't think we should be worried about ics ports yet when our CM7 GB port isn't fully completed. There's still a few kinks that need to be ironed out...
[Motorola Photon 4G] roundeye1987:
I think this is one of those YMMV situations. I've had CM7 on my Electrify for a month and have had practically no ROM related issues, our devolopers have been nothing short of outstanding. Thank you all foe your hard work!

As for ICS, I have faith that someone out there is either already working on something at least on the side or CM9 is closer than we think. But if we have to wait Gill next year either from a dev or motorola, so be it. Quality takes time.

[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Hes saying why cant we use the motorola xoom roms to port to the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
why cant we use the hero's ics rom to port it to the evo? they both have qualcomm chipsets????

it was the biggest issue people didnt get on the epic 4g.. just cuz they all use the same cpu and gpu doesnt mean anything else is the same :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Shabby didnt you dev the one click root?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
People possibly get this idea that you can run the same ROM on any phone that has the same GPU/CPU is because of Windows that can run on any x86/x86-64 based computer
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
yea :/

indeed i did.. trhe script was rather simple just uses the droid 3 exploit by djbliss
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Its not the os its the carriers an manufactures.

Shabby you should get into bootloader unlocking :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
i would love more than be able to provide a 4g able unlock.. but this is my first moto is not only years but its the first non samsung/htc android phone ive had... i just dont have the knowledge to do it :(

[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Puntastic
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
Now my reasoning behind this was I looked for the moto device most similair to the photon with tegra 2. The xoom looks nothing like the photon, but it has working ics and has- parts wise-many identical parts and not just cpu, gpu stuff. Its more than a theory in my opinion but than again I don't have a photon (check the signature). If you can say out right it would be easier to start from scratch than work with the xoom, I can respect that but I always like clarification!

[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Actually your semi right.both moto and nvidia share code between versions. More so than others.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
make no mistake using hotfixes from teh xoom is highly intelligent considing how much is close.. but joker can even tell you.. not everything from the atrix (our sister phoen) can even be just ported over without some modding.. :/

that is what my point is... VERY rarley do you have phones close enough to be able to just change out files willy nilly (the htc vision was an amazingly awesome phone for being able to do this) and the nexus s and the nexus s 4g are fairly universal when it comes to kernels for the most part

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h00b:
Hi,

Installed the now defunct Whisper Systems 'Whispercore' Android a while back but want to install the new ICS on my I9020 phone.

Have unlocked the boot loader and gained root using these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895545"

which seemed to work great, and then downloaded the ICS update in the sticky thread on this forum and followed the instructions but only get some message about 'assert' and 'google keys' and how the update failed. I'll only copy it all out if you think it'll help :D

So do I need to go back to 'vanilla' 2.3.5. and if so as anyone got a link and guide?

thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheif:
I have the same issue

I too want to get the new vanilla ICS on a rooted phone. I understand that I need to go back to Gingerbread stock rom and work my way up from there. Is there a guide or a procedure that I need to follow? Any help would be appreciated.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jy0thish:
I was using stock 2.2.1 and had LOTS of apps on my SD card. I cleared roughly 1 GB my moving my songs, and then installed MIUI. So, now I know that lots of space on my SD card is being consumed by apps that I no longer use. How do I clear those? Thank You.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Have you tried formatting the ext partition?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] twinhackerz:
Just format your SD card ^^
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jy0thish:
Okay..but is there any folder tat I can delete¿
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
What solution is this?

To format entire sd card everytime you want to delete some apps?

The appications that are installed on sd card go to .android_secure folder.

Seems that is empty but it isn't. You can delete it, will be created again by system if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mordecaidrake:
So I'm not quite sure if did something wrong, but I'm doing the root process on my mac which worked fine for the unlocking but after doing the root process I'm stuck at the Google screen with the unlocked symbol. It never loads the colorful animation it just sits here, this is the third time trying it. The previous 2 times I pulled the battery and tried the process again. Anyone have any suggestions or should I just wait longer than the 10 minutes I've been waiting.

EDIT: Solved, pulled the battery, booted into the bootloader and selected start. Phone booted right up and with root.
[Kindle Fire General] SeanBlader:
So I got mom and myself a Fire for Christmas, and I'm debating the effort involved with supporting Google Currents and Gmail on them both. Mainly what I'm worried about is how much maintenance I may have to do afterwards if I root, install the Google apps then unroot

I'm not a newb, but might be a novice still, I did root and re-rom my Galaxy Tab but that was nearly a year ago now, since then I haven't done anything other than use it and I'm hoping for a similar ability to just USE the Fire rather than tinker with it.

From others reporting, it sounds like there might be issues with updates from Amazon causing problems with software installed this way? Has anyone gone through an update cycle with this setup and had any problems getting back into Currents or Gmail?
[Kindle Fire General] terracode:
We have seen that the OTA update does remove root. It is easy to reroot using SuperOneClick and takes less than 15 seconds since you already had it configured on your PC when you initially rooted.

Other than Market, No other apps were affected and I also still had the changes to build.prop. Apps that were manually installed into System/App may need to be reinstalled (like Market). You may want to install OTA RootKeeper apk in order to easily unroot to use Amazon VOD and reapply root when you need it. Using Titanium Backup, you can backup all your apps and restore in the event there is an OTA update which affects the Market. I used Titanium Backup to restore Market. Another handy apk is AppSaver.
[Kindle Fire General] MayfairDROID:
I would root it, install what you want, then use otarootkeeper, which is in the Google market, and do a temporary unrest. That way she can not mess anything up. If you need to make changes that require root, it is as simple as clicking restore root in rootkeeper, and your back in business.

I wanted to share with you all a devs view of the ace's future and get your feed back.

Heres the post on my blog http://jusada.tumblr.com/post/14410947588/the-future-of-the-galaxy-ace

Please feel free to comment here or leave a post at my blog.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sdotmouse:
I'm glad there will still be some dev activity for this device. It is one that slipped under the radar a bit. I am mainly using mine as a PMP now as I have several other phones and it performs pretty well as a basic phone and music player. I have my Ice Cream Sandwich needs met with my ZTE Skate and soon enough on the ZTE Blade. The Ace is reliable as a phone/email/music machine and that alone is enough for me to keep it for work purposes.

This morning I bought a HTC HD2 because of the amazing capabilities this thing has. Can't decide if I want MiUi, AOSP, or Windows Phone7 on it now. Its an awesome phone and was cheap - my Xmas present to myself.

The Dev work you and others do for users to get the most out this device is much appreciated by me. I still own this phone because of the CM7 variant you provided us. As far as legacy and whatnot I can't see that it matters where the forum is. If there is an active community that's all that matters. We cannot compete with the "cool kids" and their flashy devices like the GN and such but we have a forum with active members. That is what matters. Its up to us users to keep devs motivated.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] snowfire88:
Dead? Not yet..

I brought this phone as a Bday gift to myself. It was the only phone in that price range with a flash. I rooted it after i dropped it & smashed the screen which voided my warranty. I thank the rat that made me drop my phone,coz that was when i started flashing custom roms.

I remember when the FIrst UA rom came out,i was thrilled to see custom roms being finally built 4 the ace. Also a lot of ppl here in India find this phone to be the best in the mid range price pocket. So definitely lot of users from India. Hopefully that would correlate to more devs & ultimately more activity to push it back into the main forums from the legacy section.

I read that an HTC HD 2 which has a 528Mhz processor has got ICS. So i am hoping that our ace might hang around so long as to taste maybe, Android 5.0 ? Wishful thinking or optimism,i am sure that the Ace is not kicking the bucket anytime soon & has a long journey yet.. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sdotmouse:
The HD2 has a Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor clocked at 1GHZ and 448 MB of RAM.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] itasoulas:
well said by the dev. As I see it ACE has some potential yet unexplored and maybe it will get better when devs will port ICS on this device and discover new things about phone's capabilities.

But I mostly see it as follow:

Let's say you have bought a brand new PC some years ago when windows 98 where released. No matter what improvements you'll make on it, it will reach its limits and be better but never run as a new PC when windows 7 appeared.

Bottom line:

This phone can still be improved but let's not expect much. It will run for sure better than when we got it with stock rom but that's it. Afterall mobile market evolves so rapidly that even if you like this phone you'll definately find someday a new love. We are expecting more that's for sure and we pay our respects to devs for busting their asses for all of us.

To end this, CM7 for ACE still has issues and to my eyes it's not yet complete, so how come we expect more from CM9? If I were a developer I would try to make CM7 perfect first... but I am not!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] evildave_666:
Postmortem:

Ace Pro:

3.5-3.7" display is a sweet spot for most people. 4" and over doesn't fit well in my hands.

Gorilla glass, always a selling point

Froyo 2.2 with guaranteed path to Gingerbread when a lot of phones were still coming with Eclair

Hotswappable SD slot

Ace Con:

Bad reputation for Wifi SOD

HVGA

Somewhat overpriced

CPU/Memory barely in the midrange market segment

I really wanted to like the Ace, and I still do in some aspects. The form factor is nearly perfect for me, Samsung knew that the iphone's industrial design was the thing to blatantly copy.

HVGA is a downer. Nothing except the lowest of the low comes with anything less than WVGA any more.

I was actively warning people off of this handset until the SOD issues were fixed, and they never really were in Samsung roms. As soon as the successor Galaxy W model was announced I immediately steered people looking for a midrange phone that direction.

All this being said, I'm still using my Ace as a second handset (its got my text-roaming sim from Philippines in it) at the moment. I'll probably continue to use it for that until a new shiny thing makes me replace my main phone (currently an SC-02C Galaxy S II).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] franzks:
Obviously no one can truthfully say that they will stick with their phone for 5+ years to come (though they may be some exceptions). You will certainly have to get a new one sooner or later. But I just want to say thanks to all the developers who spend their precious time for average joes like me. The Ace might not have impressive hardware or the manufacturer's support it deserves, but the community behind this device is what removed all the regret from buying it after the countless times I wanted to smash my phone to the ground in the 1 month I used it unrooted and with stock rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nims11:
Im really happy with ace :)

im mostly using it for call sms emails and heavy 3g usage and also songs

not any other things

so hvga not much affect me as not playing games on it as pc games much better than mobile games

And only like to make ace looks awesome with theming

so only thing make me sad in past was miui only for beautifull looks

but now we have its statusbar due to jusada

launcher(look like)

its themes though have to make manually for launcher

and specially miui realese milocker so i not even miss miui rom

hope miui release some more apps specially launcher that supports themes so will reduce work

to make theme for tencent launcher

So im happy with it and after cm9 not want any thing else :p

The Galaxy Ace was my first Android phone and the one thay made me step into Android Development .

Back then at the SingTel Shop , I was given only two choices , the Samsung Galaxy Ace and the HTC Desire HD .

I did a little research and founf that a reboot problem was notorious on the Desire , so I decided to get the Galaxy Ace .

At first I was quite satisfied , since it was faster than my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic .

But then , I realised the lags with this phone , and it was then I wasn't really satisfied with this lag......that's when my Android quest began -- to search for the best custom ROM like on my 5800

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jekle_Ace:
The Ace was my second android and second smartphone. I had s zte blade before. I had a choice between the HTC wildfire s or Sammy ace. And chose the Ace. But I can tell you my zte blade was amazing 600mhz and 512mb was very fast had plenty of devs cm7 etc. But the only thing holding the ace back is the ram. 384mb is horrible for multitasking and single tasking in general.

I was given the feeling that I had been ripped off. Samsung had cut a lot of corners with the Ace. Like no amibent light sensor. HVGA screen and at the time this cost £230. And the Zte blade was £99 and had a WVGA screen and light sensor. But all in all I am very happy with the Ace and am very grateful for to the devs and I decided to port aosp gingerbread which is an on going operation with emoboiix3 and Fla.sh and consegregate. But we are not dead. There is still active development.

Your link wasn't very clickable, but I'm assuming you mean the HTC Leo released 2009? That is the phone I bought 2nd hand. I have an ICS ROM on it now. I got ICS before the Nexus S. On a WinMo device. I also have MiUi to boot into if I want or can swap to WinMo 6.5.x/WP7. It definitely has a 1GHZ processor, 448MB RAM. Can't beat that for £175 really.

All credit goes to Joeykrim for his outstanding work.

Download his flash image app from the market here

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui&hl=en

You then download either your kernel image or your recovery image.

Navigate to it within the app. Tick flash and voila your good to go!

No Need for your PC and fastboot!

I did flash twrp and can verify it does work

Change name of image to recovery.img

* I believe an update does not require this step now *

I thought I'd share this with my fellow zombie flashers who need to get things done while on the road or at work, peace.
