[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joviansky:
I've been a member here for a short while but a frequent visitor for a long time. Recently, with the release of ICS I've become more interested in the work being done by ROM developers here, including a certain 15 year old doing a lot of work porting ICS.

I'd like to know what programming language is used in ROM development so I can maybe learn a thing or two and put in some work of my own.

EDIT: Posted this here because I own a G2 so if languages are different depending on phone, I'm obviously more interested in how to do work on my own.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devioid:
C, C++, and Java.
[Desire General] Mr Paul:
This has just popped up on my rooted stock Desire, what is it? Anybody know? I assume if I install I'll loose root..?

Holy ****! For a moment I thought it is OTA for GB. Damn! :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mejobloggs:
Today my U8800 seems to have decided not to work. Most of the touch screen is unresponsive, and only patches work. The lower right is completely dead including the soft keys

Any idea on how to fix this?

I had a wee bit of water sitting on the screen for 10min, would that cause it? I just had quite wet hands and used the phone and didn't dry it off. Apart from that, no idea what could have caused it

Assuming I can't get a replacement since I bought it in NZ and now I'm in UK
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
If the problem was indeed caused by the water, try the following:

Open the backplate, remove the battery, sim & sd card and let it stand for 24h in a dry place (don't use a hair dryer or any similar "clever" ideas; an oven is right out).

You may be lucky and salvage it, assuming the current from the battery isn't strong enough to have caused a short-circuit and that it hasn't touched anything crucial & sensitive. Good luck in any case.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephen.brader:
please could someone post a working apk file of onlive and not just the viewer but the new version which allows you to play and view. if there is no working version, please can someone possibly mod the apk to get it to install on htc wildfire 2.2.1 stock rom unrooted. all the apk files i have tried wont install at all and they all come up with errors which is usually parsing error. sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or if this has already been posted, please link me to it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
can anybody tell me major advantages of having honeycomb 3.2 except for better stylus support? (i dont hav a stylus)

beacause reading forums i found out following disadvantages of it....

1. hardware buttons gone (not a big one n its a +ve one saves a little bit of battery)

2. honey bar consumes space on screen (can be a lot annoying while gaming or reading)

3. many apps that people pruchased for GB are not working on HC(particularly games)

so should we upgrade for what benifits? should i stick to GB or i am missing something?

please help if i am wrong anywhere....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bazman70:
Multitasking better

Can fit more widgets and shortcuts on each screen

Better gmail app

Can run honeycomb only apps
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
with GB flyer is USB client.... with HC will it giv USB host support?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kabuk1:
I'll throw in my $.02 I guess. I used Honeycomb for about 24 hours. I had an Acer Iconia Tab for a day before I got my View, and to be honest HC was a big part of why I returned it. I'd never used HC before & I went into the experience with an open mind but ended up absolutely hating it. It kept slowing down, the taskbar was annoying(the buttons are too small & easy to miss), I didn't like how it forces you into landscape mode in many apps(I'm a diehard portrait girl), and I just didn't like the new menu structures or really anything about it honestly. I don't get the hype at all, I never once found myself thinking "Wow, this is so much better than gingerbread!" and if Sprint tries to push a HC update to my View I'm gonna decline it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
Does anybody know where one can find a list of apps that work for GB, but not HC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
HC is faster and smoother than GB. The user interfaces are better integrated, not like a clunky big ass phone. The notification bar is far more useful. Everything just looks cleaner . I'd never consider going back to GB.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
Even on GB there are applications that will force you to landscape mode. Even if you have your rotation locked. Often this is because it simply works better this way. Mostly I've seen this though, is with games...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
+1

it was a totally smooth and logical transition for me...over the weekend i will be trying to theme my GB phone to look like HC
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Personal preference. I went to HC, can't see a reason to go back
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
i guess it will still b USB client....in HC
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
It's there and if it's not working in the stock ROM we now have kernel source and can recompile a kernel with that support included.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kire1820:
I heard from some people on the forum saying that HC on view is "sluggish." I am wondering if any early adopters can post their experience with HC on flyer/view.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Not true at all in my experience. Honeycomb flies on my View. Much smoother than Gingerbread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Its smoooooooooooooth like honey, no crumbs like gingerbread. No complaints at all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mongolito:
And what's about whatsapp? And phone mode mod? Can I use flyer like phone with HC?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
no way, it's fantastic...looks good, works perfectly in my opinion
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
not a big point...but a valid one... that screen still cant move 4 ways.... only two sides available with HC as well....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keyid:
cant wait to use other app that takes advantage of the pen
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
In my personal opinion, HC is a slight improvement on GB with regards to the UI but saying that, I've reverted to GB for these reasons....

1, certain apps need to be adjusted for screen use as HC is not optimised for 7" screens. Google earth loses its lookaround and zoom buttons, PocketCloud loses its keyboard/mouse selection bar and BBC iPlayer does not work at all because of the lack of embedded flash.

2, the menu bar is really annoying when playing full screen videos and games. It causes either a modification to the aspect ratio of the image or worse (as in the app cases above) a loss of lower screen functions.

Until the app developers mod their packages (and some may not) and a method of auto-hide real full screen usage is added by HTC, then I'm staying with GB.

I use the pen often for business and manage reasonably well without the extra integration.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mmmatches:
I agree with this.

I don't really want to get into aesthetics because it's very subjective, but there were a lot of functional things I liked about GB/Sense that are now gone:

1. full-screen widgets

2. the soft (off-screen) buttons

3. the "menu" button that, when on the home screen, showed some useful shortcuts (like task manager)

4. the permanent shortcuts on the bottom of the screen (obviously conflicts with the new Honeycomb bar)

I was excited for Honeycomb because of its newness but honestly I think the GB implementation on the View was pretty great, actually; it was more suited to the smaller screen. I haven't noticed a difference in performance (it was never an issue) either way.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
well any benchmark results on HC ? this will make everything clear about performance.....please somebody tell if they tried some benchmarks after upgrading to HC 3.2.1...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] melax1:
Seems HC really drained the battery fast. Guess with all those open apps. Getting a new battery. going to try it again..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
how many apps u hav running in background ? and how much battery backup u r getting considering u r all the time on wifi...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] la_resistance28:
HC or GB for noob?

I'm gifting the View to my relative, who's an Android and tablet newbie. I know there are lots of under-the-hood reasons why Honeycomb might be better, but for a tech noob do you think the original Gingerbread/Sense interface is more user-friendly?

I'm worried the hologram interface and on-screen buttons might be too intimidating and complicated. He's gonna be using the View for some casual browsing, a handful of apps, and Google maps, nothing heavy-duty. I'd prefer if my relative started using one or the other right away. Using GB for a few weeks/months and then switching to HC later would be too disorienting. Any advice? Thanks! :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] R23PO:
gb vs hc

I'd say keep it gb for now. I only upgraded to hc for improved stylus recognition for certain apps. while I was using gb I was content using Web Browser, email, Netflix, comic book apps, YouTube, ereader, games, useful Calendar and Weather widgets- everthing a casual user would be content with. I never tried google maps. as far as user friendly interface, I prefer gb. widgets fit the screen, videos fill the screen and your not straining to see smaller text and widgets.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

wifi on hc is draining my battery also. was wifi on gb this bad? I never thought to notice. how long should the View last if completely charged and wifi is off? how long if charged and wifi is on? I need to run a test one day and make comparisons
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
now some good positives about HC....(apart from pen functionality)

1. graphics perfomance is better (based on benchmark scores we get 24 with nenamark2 which used to b 12 with GB)

2. usb host support ....but self powered devices only as flyer micro USB port cant provide power ( massive improvement)

waiting for more improvements....will post...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] meconfu5ed:
Does the Pen still function with HC like it did on GB? I use Gallery, PDF Reader and Notes mostly for work. I can find anywhere to confirm the pen still works with PDF Viewer and Gallery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
The pen is even more better in functionality with HC.... can b used in many apps and can b used for navigation in menu, homescreen etc . it will not take snapshot automatically like it used to in GB... but if u want to take snapshot you can do it yourself manually
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] charm1718:
I use mine mainly for media consumption. I'm waiting for honeycomb versions of HBO Go & MAX Go apps before I leave GB
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
HC is better

1. reading is better

2. browser is better (more options)

3. improved flash support (some websited that created problem before run perfectly fine now)

4. its more smooth

5. but my battery is not lasting long now :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimstar:
I seem to think that before my view on gb was great but after going to hc it takes a bit getting used

To. Played with hc before for an hour so I was a bit scared to upgrade. Now I'm happy I did I do miss some of gingerbread stuff but the improvements make up for it. I miss the buttons but I'm sure we will get them back. My battery is the same maybe a bit better actually. The taskbar doesn't bother me a whole lot again I'm sure we will see an autohide feature from one of the devs soon enough. The view is snappier on hc and the improvements are worth it. Trust me I was sceptical. I can say most of my programs work from my titanium backup. It does take getting used to initially but soon enough you won't look back aside from some features missing right now that were on gb
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Will_nonya:
Overall I'm coming around but most of the things I miss are are very small details. Things like home screens not looping, no list view or vertical scrolling for the app drawer no quick links to settings like WiFi on or off so you have to use widgets. I also don't like that the selection drop down for widgets isn't as wide as most widget titles, the way the task mgr "works" or the 3/4 of an inch of unuseable space at the top and bottom of the screen in portrait mode. These are very small nit picky things though and if I were starting fresh I'm sure I would prefer hc.

I do like that the pen works throughout the UI. Most of the improvements are equally small details like the UI generallylooks cleaner, the updated apps work well and general performance seems better.

I miss the hardware buttons and disbursing the menu option on screen seems like clutter but its done in a nice way and the hw buttons aren't necessary, its just personal preference.

After a day or so performance smoothed out and quadrant scores average about 200 points higher than in GB (It's the only benchmarks I have).

I've only found one app that didn't work (calwidget) and it had a dedicated tablet version that did. I did find apps that work better in hc that forced closed in GB, this XDA app specifically. It never worked for me on GB and I hadn't been able to use it since I had it in a Froyo device.

I could pick hc to death but overall the performance, experience and tablet as a whole are better with HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JAAFASP:
I thought and still think the last iteration of Gingerbread was perfect on the Flyer except for the HDMI which always required a Restart and Android Market which was not updated and pushed me over the edge to upgrade. Granted I updated Gingerbread three times before I got to that point so hopefully Honeycomb does that too.

Reading, surfing, and Pinball Deluxe (yes thats a new verb as Brix Arcade rocks. :D ) are worse with less real estate space. And I can't spin the carousel. :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I miss the hard buttons because after a couple of pints, they spin and wiggle and make me giggle.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RaptorMD:
I upgraded immediately to HC, but I d/l the GB downgrade file today and actually will be reverting back, if for nothing else other than checking it out. I like HC, its fast but I do agree the battery is quick to drain while on WiFi and just basic browsing.

What I would really like is a ICS port, and I did find this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403859 RCTeam presents First Sense rom on Ice Cream Sandwich ANDROID 4.0.3.

Any chance we can get some enterprising devs to work on an ICS port for the Flyer/View?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
ICS is being worked by a few developers. I would say its several months out before really ready for prime time. As you can see by looking at the thread you posted, even for the sensation leaks, there are several pages of things that do not work and they require new radio and HBOOT files which obliviously don't match the Flyer /View hardware.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kego:
Sure HC is better but what I miss in GB;

I) Hard buttons

II) Phone-GSM mode

III) Flash issues (only stock browser runs flash; no 3rd party browsers runs flash)

IV) Some GPS issues

V) Some SW compatibility issues.

Rest I love HC. Full pen support, wow!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Big_O:
Some popular 3rd party browsers are maxathon and dolphin. They are lightening fast on GB. Might try skyfire for flash issues on HC.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
The pics in the OP got my interest up. I was hoping to see more feedback regarding this tweak. How is it working for everyone? Can you post some pictures?

My understanding of it is that it only helps how a picture appears on the phone and does not change the actual picture, correct?

Bravia tweak. Yea or nay?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Over 1400 views and no one has an opinion. Odd.

Has anyone tried this tweak with the Weapon Rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
ive read great reviews on this too and so I flashed the Bravia Mod, running weapon 3.0 stock GB cam. It seems that the picture on the phone (like you mentioned looked cleaner, colors more vibrant. either that or im sold on the hype lol. but seriously it does look a bit more crisp/ brighter colors. i have yet to see what it looks like on my external screen HDTV or PC or even printed on a picture. i will try tonight and leave my feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
i have this on my sensation. is good to know my g2x supports it. thanks a lot dude
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
your welcome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garrychau:
I am running weapon 3.0 with LG cam. It doesn't work with LG cam,the cam just not taking picture, I could see image on the screen. It was like the camera button is disbaled. Anyhow, I am using the modify version of Bravia. I might have to use stock GB cam

Edit: just flash gb camera, it works again. The pic does look better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erupe:
ditto, thanks for the post.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
After testing: hdmi out to hdtv. I personally didn't see any significant difference pre mod. But I would like to test out on another screen. As my hdtv isn't a top of the line so that may make a difference?.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stormageddon:
I tried this out in MIUI and found no difference at all along with the problem that third party camera apps did not seem to work with it.

Just flashed it, i guess things look a bit brighter, but that's all i really notice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:

sorry for my poor english

[Motorola Droid RAZR] triton302:
Those that bought the RAZR after owning the Bionic... how do you like it? I had the Bionic but the data issues and the screen drove me away. How's the RAZR compared to the Bionic?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kent1146:
The razr is the best smartphone Motorola has ever made. It is essentially a Droid Bionic with a better screen and a much better chassis.

I don't know what Motorola was thinking releasing the Razr so close to the Bionic. If I was a bionic owner I would be pissed. The Razr is clearly a far better phone
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdslogic:
I absolutely love the Razr over the Bionic. I liked the Bionic but could never dreamed of anything like this even with extended battery...and this is with little use

Bionic with an hour of drag racing would be almost dead.

and that isn't a fluke.....I probably average at least 10+....some days obviously lighter than others....both of these being light

but even that was almost half hour of drag racing and over an hour of phone calls. But IMO Smart Actions are saving the day here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mcleaver84:
I left the bionic for the razr, haven't looked back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dynamicpda:
What's pushing me towards this phone:

Native Android, ICS

What's pushing me towards Verizon NOW:

LTE, double bandwidth deal, unlimited loophole

What's keeping me away:

Signal problems.

My CM7.1 Evo on Sprint has its own issues but I have a grip on those and am generally happy with the setup. I could wait for a few months for the issues on the GN LTE to get resolved. But the bandwidth promo and the loophole won't last forever. If the problem is in hardware like the previous Samsung GPS problems, it might never get resolved.

How I do lock in the Verizon goodies without getting stuck with a lemon phone? Get the Rezound and hope for ICS soon?

What to do??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
just go for it, if you have good reception in the areas you visit most of the time

if you just want ICS even the old Nexus S i9020 have official ICS 4.0.3 which i'm already using

to me it sounds like you want more the data plan, than the phone LOL :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Read some of the other threads -- particularly [url="http://www.anandtech.com/show/5254/investigating-the-galaxy-nexus-lte-signal-issue]this article[/url]. I personally have no issues with signal other than inside my work building (which is to be expected; it was the same with 3G).

I personally think it's all FUD, same as the iPhone 4 "antenna-gate".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dynamicpda:
I want both. It would suck to sign up for the phone later after it is working fine and then not have the bandwidth deals available. But then the phone might never be fixed. I also want newer hardware :-) Nexus S is an idea though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dynamicpda:
I do happen to live in a relatively urban major city that should have good LTE coverage, so the switching might not be such a big issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcp2009:
All I saw is unlimited loophole lol. Is there still a way to get unlimited data or are you referring to something else
