You tried Nova Launcher. Maintains stock look and feel with more options. I really like it and it is pretty smooth.
[Nexus S General] timelessfahad:
Hey guys!

I have the international version of I9023 and I just got the official OTA update of ICS some 10 minutes back.
[Nexus S General] devianceluka:
guys please help me

I just got it also finally and it downloaded 100% and when it was supposed to reboot it acted like I pressed back or home, so it didn't reboot/install and the update dissapeared.

So it says the system is updated.

I dont want to wait for days again!!!!!! please help
[Nexus S General] surdu_petru:
What is your version Rom now in your Nexus S? ..and this version is officiale or it's a custom Rom ?

You must have official v2.3.6 installed on the phone ....after that you can update your Nexus with ICS 4.0.3...
[Nexus S General] devianceluka:
im on the latest official unrooted like out of the box 2.3.6
[Nexus S General] khemist92:
What kind if nexus do you have and where do ya live?:) Because mine does not show any OTA available =(
[Nexus S General] timelessfahad:
I have the carrier-free version of the i9023 and I live in Pakistan. The update failed though. Don't know why.
[Nexus S General] hp420:
congrats guys....wish my D720 would get OTA :(
[Nexus S General] khemist92:
Bah , curse my Hungarian version >:O Hopefully gonna get it soon :)
[Nexus S General] BehradGH:
LINK??????
[Nexus S General] xsynth:
Got the exact same issue (just posted in that big 165 page thread). i9023, stock as bought, no root. system still says 2.3.6 and manual reboot still does nothing but boot into GB as normal
[Nexus S General] pep_00:
Same issue in my spanish stock version!
[Nexus S General] ED8617:
I received the notification for the OTA update yesterday evening, downloaded the update but wasn’t able to install it because I didn’t had enough battery left.

I charged the phone during the night and was hoping to install the update this morning but I can’t find it anymore.

If I go to “About phone”/“System updates” it says the phone is up to date.

I have a carrier-free i9023 with stock 2.3.6 and live in Switzerland.

does anybody know how to install the update?

thx
[Nexus S General] mkoch820:
Hungarian too, with an i9023. Using official ICS since 16 dec. So that's not the problem. But if you are in hurry, and have 30 minutes, you can install CWM recovery and reinstall the 2.3.6, after a few minutes it'll ask you to update to 4.0

After update you will get back the stock recovery, you can even relock the bootloader if you wish, so everything will be stock, and official, and untouched. Look for root infos on nexus s general threads, also you will find the 2.3.6 ROM there ([REF] ALL Nexus S OTA Updates for ALL Variants, Plus Full ROM Packages)
[Nexus S General] grotesque02:
Yesterday I received the update notification, but I was not home and I could not update, and after a few hours notification disappears :-(

How can I get the notification again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrcojocaru:
To use it, do you just enter the values and exit out? There's no confirmation that it works or ok button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrcojocaru:
You guys suck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mongo41:
Why do we suck? Because no one answered your question within in what you think is a timely manner? You think we suck now wait til you semi brick your phone and want help and nobody wants to help you because of how rude you were in a previous post. And to answer your question yes the settings stick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrcojocaru:
lol you about summed it up. I'm just being a little sarcastic though.. not trying to be insulting. This site is great and I've found lots of help, software, etc. I just figured a long time ago that if no one answers within a couple hours then it probably wont happen.. so yeah.

Use system tuner ...for me it works better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrw1215:
So, I want to connect my Nexus to my computer to put on some wallpapers, pictures, videos, etc. Thing is, whenever I connect it, and navigate to it in Windows Explorer, it seems to freeze up Windows Explorer. I managed to get my ringtones transferred over just fine, but every time I try to copy over pictures or anything else, it gets stuck on the copy process.

Additionally, it seems like access to folders and whatnot is pretty restricted... On my previous phone (the Thunderbolt), I had used MyBackupPro to back up my save data for games. The backup files were found in the app's folder, and I just copied them from the SD card to my computer so that I could put them on the Nexus. But on the Nexus, I can't seem to get in deep enough to access the MyBackupPro folder to move my backups to...

Anyone know how to fix either of these issues?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
It's hideous IMO....my 15 & 13 year old daughters would love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
I don't see why they don't release these phones in multiple colors from the get go. Maybe blue, green, red, white, and black. Or something along those lines.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
Thanks for the update. My wife was waiting for this in order to switch her white evo. She will be glad to hear the good news.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Is it just a white paint job or did they change some of the hardware? I actually don't mind different colors and white is the new black right? Anyways, I would rather have a white TPU case then this, but the wife's evo is due for an upgrade in a couple of months.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Looks pretty good, I still prefer black because of the low profile. Black hides dirt, white hides scratches :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Yeah that would be nice.

If it came in the Blackberry Curve red color I would be on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I had that phone too. That was a nice color. White just isn't the color for me when it comes to electrnic devices
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Eh aren't we all going to be upgrading in a few months anyways?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rpnunez:
Right?! I seriously think they do it in hopes of people who already bought a black one will jus" t "fall in love" and outright just buy it.

It would be smarter and they would appeal to people who, for example, "need a white device" if they would release all colors on the same day. But, since theyre greedy and only care about money, people who were considering this phone but found out it was only in black bought another phone to their liking - does Samsung really think people will ditch their phone and jump on this one? Nope. Too late. They already used theyre upgrade, and if anything, now they dislike Samsung for doing this type of thing to them.

In other words, greed is the worst thing in this world.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I think it looks slick..i really like it. I'm wondering though, the battery cover looks glossy now...need some texture, IMO, otherwise it'll be too slippery lol.

And before anyone says it...yes, that is what she said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCs2k:
Nice to finally see the Sprint pics for it. That January 8th date is looking more likely all the time per this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373771&highlight=white

Hopefully a nice stable fully functional build of CM7 will be done around the time this hits retail shelves.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
Actually white hides both better. when I had my E4GT in black and a case, I was constantly taking the phone out of the case to clean the edges where the phone meets the case. With my white skyrocket, I don't find myself doing that at all. I'm a real neat freak when it comes to phones, too.

Also, if the phone is anything like the skyrocket, you guys need to see the phone in person to appreciate the way it looks / color. I didnt like the white skyrocket, but when I had it in my hand and looked at it, it looked awesome.

I've had more then a couple people comment on how nice the phone is, and for someone to go out of their way and say that about a phone is pretty rare.

Just my .02.

EDIT: Also, I can't tell if this one has it, but my phone has a chrome rim which looks really nice. and the keys light up wayyyyy brighter then the black version and bleed through the white, which makes it look stellar at night. It;s also not white, it's a sort of pearl white. Again, you should probably look at it in person before you pass judgment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
I would have to see it in person. I gave my black Evo to the wifey when the white one came out but I doubt I do the same with the ET4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Only other color this phone would look good in is a Silver or metallic or better yet that charcoal Grey that's on BMW's
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
I would trade my black one in a heart beat! That's a slick looking phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryanh85:
Looks real clean. Is January 8th the confirmed date? I think I'll use my premiere upgrade close to the end of the month and if it releases on time I can trade it for the white :)

:)...:(...:o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ointaylor:
Nope, not the only one.... But this SGS II is so fast already, I am not sad in the least about having it for 2 years. I would kinda like a white battery cover though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
This is great news for all of us who already have one. It extends the promotional cycle for the phone and Sprint and Samsung's need to ensure new buyers know it will be well-supported, which means we'll probably hear official assurances before the white version's release that ICS is coming to our variation. It may still be heavily delayed, as usual, but at least this helps guarantee we get it at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCs2k:
Looks like that January 8th date is all but officially confirmed.

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/28/white-samsung-epic-4g-touch-galaxy-s-ii-coming-to-sprint-in-january/

Come on Sprint, just announce the thing already!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
White doesn't work on a cell phone, shows dirt too much. Apple pulled it off by covering the white plastic with a layer of glass.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
It's pretty but if you use a protective case what is the point lol

The white on the screen is nice tho I gotta say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Just give sprint a call and ask them to reset your upgrade... they've done it twice for me

Hello,

I just flashed Matr1x's kernel (1.5 - BFS) with Android Revolution 2.1.0.

Now my "Google" logo bootloops and I cannot get into the system.

Tried to go via the recovery menu to mount USB storage and then copy a fresh Android Revolution installation on the storage.

What do I do now?

EDIT:

Error code:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Audionut11:
Next time create a backup before playing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400443
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
Not sure what the error message is about but to get it to boot again you could either flash the zip for Revolution HD again or unzip it and take the boot.img file and fastboot flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemulen:
EDIT:

Thanks man!! Worked like a charm :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
This happened to me too. You can't mount as USB storage in recovery because the phone does not support it. If this ever happens again, all you have to do is flash things through fastboot ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Audionut11:
You can push via ADB, but the phone must be in recovery mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
Ok. So I have the Syndicated Ice Rom.

It's gotten weird with my sound settings. Every time I turn my phone to vibrate, my media turns off. It keeps playing, but that also get's silenced. Why is that?

YES the media is volume is turned up. I've downloaded Volume Control+ only for the feature of linking the Ring with the Notify volume. (Don't know why that isn't a standard option on this phone)

I don't know what's going on. When I'm driving, I turn my phone on vibrate and connect it to my radio. I guess you all can see my issue.

My temporary fix is, to literally go to settings and turn Ring and Notify all the way to 0. I don't switch to vibrate mode, because that silences the media as well.

I want the previous way for the added convenience. It's pestering having to go to settings to turn the volume down. I can't do it from the Home Menu, because when I use the volume buttons, it turns it down, but then it doesn't reach 0, at 0 it goes to vibrate mode, which turns off my media. It gets real frustrating, and not a very convenient thing to do while driving; because now I HAVE to look at the phone. -_-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
FIXED

It's not a fix, but I'm getting another ROM anyways. I like the look of AEMOD. Looks pretty cool. So this issue doesn't matter to me anymore. You don't need to answer, unless you want to.

GTA III - 10 Year Anniversary Edition

Full tegra cached effects and armv6 optimization!

To use this you

must

purchase GTA III - 10 Year Anniversary Edition first.

​

This is a little trick to enable full effects and an optimized tegra cache for HVGA armv6 devices. I've tested it S-ON unrooted stock, and works perfectly with no problems and full effects. There's no more lag and looks so nice.

The only downside to this method is there is no sound. However, S-OFF overclocked users may be able to enable audio files (need a tester).

Download (full optimized effects): http://www.mediafire.com/?992ou6xbx6t49r8

Extract all files by running EXE to desktop - then replace all files in sd/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have alquez's OC kernal and want to try audio follow these steps:

Download this data version (normal effects with audio folder): http://narod.ru/disk/34424215001/com.rockstar.gta3.rar.html

Copy ONLY audio folder to sd/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 and then use the rest of the data from first (full effects) download link.

If you find a lag in game after enabling audio, then just delete this audio folder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Big thanks to infazz & 4PDA.ru ! Press thanks if you found this helpful !

Screenshots of comparison below. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
thanks, looks awesome. how do you get the version with sound though, i know it will run poorly, especially as i'm s-on, with a stock rom...but nice to have the option of sounds :p

the link is to a russian? site, and i can't work out what to click after the first screen (the one with the captcha).

also, how do i install the game? can't see it on the market at all, just loads of GTA III cheat/guide programs :s
[HTC Wildfire S] logout20:
bro plz make a back of your apk file with androzip ...and upload here :D...
[HTC Wildfire S] logout20:
It's not working.......I've checked..so don't waste your time on downloading it..
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Actually it does, do it properly instead of posting stupid comments.

I'm not allowed to that.

https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yb2Nrc3Rhci5ndGEzIl0.

Use google translate. :rolleyes: Copy the audio folder from the russain link data and use it with the first link data I gave. Sound slows it down on S-ON.
[HTC Wildfire S] logout20:
atleast you can tell me what's the size if apk you installed.....its working on my wfs but hell slow....so if you can tell us a step by step guide...also specs of your wfs..means how much ram/phone memory free on your wfs etc ......if you can't upload here ...pm me link I wanna test it...
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
There's only one kind of APK you can install. Use google. Performance is merely dependant on the data package you put into the folder.

Use the first link on the first post to download the data. It works perfectly without sound.

If you want sound, download the normal data package (second link without tegra effects and performance) and copy JUST the audio folder from there.
[HTC Wildfire S] logout20:
ok I got it ...8.9mb...ok ..installed...downloaded the exe file from your given link...unpacked....copy data to Android-data-com.rockstar-files-gta..........open game...smooth menu.....starting movie lags ......lags...hell slow....

.A510e
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
hmmm, are using any audio files? is there sound?

EDIT: I have an idea. The only performance tweak I use on my phone is an app called Autokiller Memory Optimizer. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&hl=en Install that and enable all the advanced settings. Don't worry about the dialogue's asking for root.
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
"This app is incompatible with your T-Mobile HTC HTC Wildfire S A510e.

T-Mobile HTC HTC Wildfire S A510e"

guess this is a no go for me then, not sure why my wfs is different to anyone else's tho :s

also, tried google tranlate on the russian site, but then the captcha on the first screen doesn't load, so i still don't know what it says on the screen after that one :s
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Awesome, thanks for this post. My friend always wanted this! :D

try pressing wait, then just wait? idk..

[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
Works but it has low low fps .... :P

any suggestion?
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
Same here.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
did you first download sd card content, then rename it and then put it to folder where its said... and then installed the game, and when it asks to download stuff you just back then home, and then run it from notifications ....

Content is from http://andropediaapps.blogspot.com and I don't take any responsibility for any of the content down from this line, to the end of the post.

here u go, link to the APK game : GTA III

a link to sd card content : SD card content

1.Unpack﻿

2.You will have UP1.6

3.Change name UP1.6 to com.rockstar.gta3

4.Copy com.rockstar.gta3 folder to Android/data

5.Install the game

1)Open Game,Accept Eula USER AGREEMENT

2)It will ask you to download data again,press back and minimize game

3)now play game from notification bar or recent apps

4)Enjoy.
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
It's not an .apk file, it's .zip.

No .apk inside.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
I gave 2 links, one is content that gta should download itself, but someone took it and change it, and you have it like 'SD card content' and .apk game is under 'GTA III' link .... Just read my post again ?
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
Weird, same file came as .zip when I downloaded it from phone, but it's .apk from computer. :)

Thanks anyway, working.
[HTC Wildfire S] caxelair:
Same here... Without any sound, the game is too slow, even just after a "Quick restart" with Autokiller... WFS O/C at 806 MHz... :/

That should be the quality/access speed of the µSD card...
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Okay, after trying various things, I can't get this to work anymore.

It worked quite well on stock rom for me, now on cm7 and many other roms it's waay too slow.

Any solutions will be appreciated.
[HTC Wildfire S] caxelair:
Haha and now pretty funny... I can't even run the game... I mean, I gotta accept the EUA stuff, after minimizing the app, that's impossible to reopen the game. I just got a black screen and then the game shuts down alone...

I did nothing, just played a couple of minutes till a save point...

It worked smoothly on stock 2.3.5,now I have CM 7.2 and it's pretty much laggy,so I guess it's cause of ROMs we use.

Yeah, I think it's something to do with the FPS cap on the GPU applied by CM7.2. Stay tuned, the nightly team will uncap it soon.
