"LG has detailed its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich plans and 11 of its smartphones are due for the update to the latest Google mobile operating system.

The updates will begin in the "second and third quarters of 2012, which will be followed by a global rollout," LG said on its company Facebook page on Monday. "During the second quarter of 2012 upgrades will begin for the following smartphone models: the LG Optimus LTE, Prada phone by LG 3.0, the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Sol, the LG my Touch Q and the LG Eclipse.

"These upgrades will be followed by upgrades for the following smartphone models during the third quarter of 2012: the LG Optimus 3D, the LG Optimus Black, the LG Optimus Big, the LG Optimus Q2 and the LG Optimus EX."

Not all LG Android phones will get the upgrades. Noticeably absent from the list was AT&T's recently released LG Nitro HD, T-Mobile's LG G2X and the LG Thrill 4G.

However, these phones may yet get the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade since they are rebranded versions of phones that are scheduled for updates. The Nitro HD is a rebranded version of the Optimus LTE, the G2X is a redubbed Optimus 2X, and the Thrill 4G is a renamed Optimus 3D.

Also missing from the list was the dual-screen LG DoublePlay and T-Mobile's LG MyTouch, which is largely the same phone as the MyTouch Q but without the MyTouch Q's sliding keyboard, and G-Slate tablet.

Officials at LG were not available Tuesday to comment on the upgrade status of the Nitro HD, G2X, Thrill 4G, DoublePlay, T-Mobile MyTouch and G-Slate.

"The exact start dates can vary by market, as each country can have different requirements, depending on the carrier and the smartphone model," LG said in its statement. "Further details on the ICS OS upgrade, including their exact start dates, will be released prior to their commencement." "

I want to switch roms in order to try out a new one but i have some apps and *messages* that i can't afford to lose. I don't want to use boot manager. If i backup my current rom will everything be the same if i want to revert back... even my messages?
[HTC Sensation] mattjorgs:
Yes, everything will be the same if you do a nandroid backup in clockwork or 4ext.

Even messages.
[HTC Sensation] darryll4sh0:
Okay I am going to try now. thanks
[HTC Sensation] srt4mn:
Should check into "SMS Backup & Restore". I use this when flashing to carry over my text messages between ROMs. Use Titanium Backup for apps and app data, works well. I recommend the paid version, less hassle for restoring apps, set it and forget it!
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
+1 for this. I use the following apps to keep pretty much complete backups of my phone:

SMS Backup & Restore (runs nightly)

App Backup & Restore (runs nightly)

DropSpace (runs nightly)

Dropbox (to dump everything into)

Basically configure DropSpace to back up app settings and APKs, camera pics, navigation (trips, etc) and drop it all into your Dropbox account. App Backup & Restore saves the APK's from your Market apps, so after flashing a new ROM you can just browse your DropBox folder and install the APK directly :)

Obviously on top of this I always take a nandroid backup (which gets synced to my Dropbox) when flashing new ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] nikoookami:
+1 I'm doing the same thing, but I have no idea how to back up contacts...
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Do you store contacts on the phone? I don't have any on the phone. They are in my two Gmail accounts.

You can move them from the phone into your Gmail account. In People, go Menu --> Move and follow the prompts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lawdawg45238:
First off, I am sure this belongs over in the thread in the development section. However, I am unable to ask in that particular thread because I am too new to the game. Please be kind to me and keep the flamming to a low simmer.

I have Weapon 3.0 installed and running smoothly. In fact, I have only 1 complaint, if you can even call it a complaint. when I use the email app (not gmail) the background is white. The accounts / messages are also a shade of white/grey. I can't stand this style. Am I simply missing a very simple step here? I don't see how to switch to the black background, which I prefer.

As an example, if you go into messaging you will see you can switch between the white and black backgrounds.

Thank you in advance for not yelling at me for not having this in the correct thread. As I stated before, the forum rules prevented me from doing so. Also I read quite a bit of the pages on that ROM thread. However, there are over 240 pages. I didn't see anything that jumped out at me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] txr_maxx:
I was wondering the same thing, I also wanted to know how to get a black google search bar, Im surprised all that work went into the rom and it comes with a white searchbar

[HTC Incredible S] kuljit55:
Hi guys, i was thinking to get a HTC Incredible S, i just wanted someone who owns a UK Gsm Version to tell me what are the genuine specs of this phone:

What is the internal storage space? (with stock rom)

MP of both cameras?

General Battery life?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I'm sure you could find these out by searching for them. I think the internal storage is 1.1GB. Back camera is 8mp and front is 1.3mp

The battery life depends on rom but around 1.5 days.

Hope this helps

I don't read well, apparently, and flashed the Electrify 2.3.5 file in hopes of unlocking my bootloader.

Has anyone else (I have read that a handfull of people have been stupid like me) had any luck unbricking the device?

I have access to RSD protocol and Fastboot.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: The only thing my phone says now is:

SUF: 108:1:2

Failed to boot 3

EDIT #2: Downloaded someones CWM flashable kernel and flashed to boot.img via moto-fastboot. Not I have an "Failed to boot 2", which people have recovered from. I am currently flashing (198_7)-1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf and it's 55% completed, which is higher than it got before........

[Motorola Photon 4G] alltellmobile:
Have you tried this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J94VcWk-CJc
[Motorola Photon 4G] npaulseth:
I fixed it by flashing the electrify 2.3.5 rom thru rsd.

Now all I have to do is get it back to Sprint.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Not gonna happen until the new boot-loader is cracked... Sorry :(

Try go sms pro. Put mms settings in advanced settings. Should make mms work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
now just a clarification but is it possible to, without Motorola files, to unlock the boot loader our selves? Is there any coding work to unlock this boot loader on our own?
[Motorola Photon 4G] npaulseth:
You have to flash something to gain the abilty to unlock the bootloader thru fastboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] firtermish:
I haven't found the file yet, but apparently right now the only way to fix this is to flash the 2.3.5 Electrify rom.

[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
Just a quick question: Where you able to flash back to:

1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf

or are you runningL 2.3.5?

Thanks,

[Motorola Photon 4G] firtermish:
I haven't personally tried it, but as far as I know you can't. You are stuck on 2.3.5 until someone releases a new bootloader unlocker. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
That's what I figured.. I quess it is better to be stuck unlocked than to be stuck locked!

[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
I had a similar problem this weekend I flashed electrify 2.3.5 on my photon lost root and recovery and was able to get both back. First I flashed the sunfire 2.3.4 thru rsd then one click root and then bootstrap app to flash cwn and am able to flash roms again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
Are you currently locked or unlocked? If I lock my device I will get the Failed to Boot 1 error. If I unlock then everything works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
When I flashed the 2.3.5 rom It locked my phone u have to re unlock it
[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
After flashing the 2.3.5 rom it locked my phone I had to re unlock it I used the unlock sbf thru rsd I am currently unlocked back on jokers stock rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
But if you wanted to re-lock your phone to get 4g could you do it or would you also get the Failed to Boot 1 error?

Point being is that I think it relocks your phone and does not allow for a downgrade.
[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
Yes it did lock my phone then I unlocked it again and am on stock 2.3.4 so I did downgrade
[Motorola Photon 4G] rrusek:
If you would not mind can you please outline what you did?

This is what I did:

1. Installed regular pudding

2. Installed cwm recovery

3. Installed 2.3.5 for Electrify/Photon via cwm

Then did:

1. Installed stock recovery

2. Installed nopudding4g

After that I started getting the Failed to Boot 1

No matter which locked 2.3.4 I try to flash via RSD it fails on first flash pass when it tries to put the phone into BP bypass.
[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
First to get my phone back to normal in rsd mode I flashed the sunfire sbf then to unlock my phone I used pudding unlock sbf then to get recovery I had to do the one click root then got the bootstrap app to flash cwm zip then I installed jokers stock rom

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytte:
NC Original with CM7.1.0 with encore-32-zOMG kernel.

The keyboard works as expected without USB or with USB connected to the charger.

If the USB (B&N cable) is connected to my windows laptop each keypress on the android keyboard generates several spurious characters in the input buffer.

Also the Unlock slider does not 'slide' when the cable is connected to the laptop.

Reverting to the original CM 7.1.0 uImage behaves the same.

Does anyone else see this, or have any idea what is wrong?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjupille:
Same with mine. Apparently a common problem. :(
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytte:
In an attempt to understand what is going on I installed Sketch n Draw.

Seems to me that USB is depriving the touchpad of CPU cycles. Drawn segments arrive long after they were sketched or not at all with lots of input being lost.

I know that lots of work has been done to get USB host to work.

Does anyone know when this problem was first seen?

Presumably there is no point in testing BN stock as IMSMC input is off when USB is active.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjupille:
FWIW, I had the problem when the last year when the NC was released -- the local B&N store swapped the unit without making any difference. It has persisted through rooting, all updates through 1.3, CM7.1 and MiRaGe Kang 7.2 (current system). My wife's has the same issue. From that, I would conclude that it's deeper than an OS issue. :(

I just don't use it for anything while it's plugged in!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spc_hicks09:
If you're on a custom ROM, just reflash the ROM. If you're on stock then I don't know.

I use original stock.

Really no way to find an update with my original SystemUI ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spc_hicks09:
You need to have someone with the same phone as you post a stock SystemUI.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
installing insecure adb and setting the correct permissions for the systemUI (which is causing your force closes - if you used it on a compatible rom) is the only way i think...

4- tried euu but not working ido not have my UID.( is it written on the ouside package.

5- tried to have my uid through usbdeview but there is no memory for previous thethering

6- tried wipe it to factory without recovery but not working

istill have the same fail message

note:

i had done a full backup previously to this problem with clockworkmod contains boot recovery and...

however

could you please help.!!

thanks in advances
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
Can you boot into recovery by holding down the volume down button and depressing the power on button?? If you can, once in clockworkmod recovery you need to select the "fix a500 boot/recovery checksums" under the advanced menu. It should have done this first time you booted into recovery to install a rom or when you rooted and installed cwm. Good luck, and once you get it fixed install the latest cwm recovery that is located on tegraowners.com.

Make sure you try volume up and down to get into recovery since it isn't very intuitive on which button is up and which is down.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Sounds like you have CWM loaded which has a tool to fix checksums. You boot to recovery mode using power * volume+ and then in the Advance menus is a item to fix your problem.

TD
[Acer Iconia A500] Ping192:
I had the same issue a while back. If you do not have CWM installed, you should revert back to a 3.0.1 original ROM. I am not sure if 3.0.1 is required, but the original ROM from acer has a Windows Flash utility, so the tab is flashed using a PC, not the recovery mode from the tab itself.

It was a while back (before this summer), but i can't exactly remember if my tab already had CWM or ROOT.

I know there is/was a thread about reverting to 3.0.1 somewhere on XDA, but i can't seem to find it anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Boot to recovery. Hold vol- and pwr until text appears at the upper left corner of the display.

Can you do that? And get the menu?

Say exactly what you did, with filename. All procedures you did.

Not possible without modding the launcher. There are launchers that have the app hiding feature though. Give GO Launcher EX a try.

I have about 25 GB of music I wanna put on my E4GT, it comes with 16GB of internal storage and I have a microSD with 16GB as well. Is there a certain way I can store my music on the device so it still reads it as one library? Can DoubleTwist do this?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Streaming from the cloud is NOT the optimal answer in most cases. I don't want to be wasting more battery using cellular data to play music I can easily have saved locally on SD card.

We already complain that Sprint's 3G speeds are abysmal, try streaming anything for an extended period of time (at least in my case). It's frustrating when "buffering" is your new best friend.

"its frusterating when BUFFERING is your new best friend" haha classic. I ha e good 3g at all times. Can i upload everything to the cloud from my phone? Is it a app i install?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
If you're referring to Google Music, sign up for an account from PC, and downlaod the manager software then upload.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wwoodrum:
Yeah man check out google music. I use it all the time and 4g there is no buffering and minimal buffer on.a 3g connection. I don't know if you can upload from ypur phone but just transfer your music to your pc or mac and then upload it from there. The upload takes a whole depending on what connection and how much data you have but it was well worth it.

So I started by rooting with Shabby's AIO root. Worked fine.

And I can do that from Root Explorer? I must admit I'm a little nervous - I'd better make a backup. You guys have done it too?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I would always do a backup in CWM or bootstrap before trying anything. I've never done this, but you could always try.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
I don't currently have the ability to boot into CWM. I suppose I'll try to get into Bootstrap and make a nandroid, if that's possible - I haven't done any of this stuff since around this time last year on my Evo.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
Use root explorer. another reason could be your not unlocked. Does your screen say unlocked when you boot?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
Mine does say I'm unlocked, I've also deleted that .sh file after backing it up and still nothing. I don't want to go through the whole process of relocking my mopho to get it to work,, but I know that may help. I've done everything I could and read through every thread on it and still no go. I've definitely learned a lot though, lol. I've also figured out how to switch the internal memory sdcard with sdcard-ext to have your actual sdcard be internal. Good stuff, I love xda.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
The current procedure seems to be:

moto-fastboot delete recovery

flash recovery

reboot

That gives it time to re-flash stock recovery during the reboot. What if you flashed the new recovery, yanked battery, went to recovery, then flashed CM7 (which apparently doesn't try to replace the stock recovery)?

I've got Bootstrap working. I'll be doing a Nandroid, then trying to rename install-recovery.sh later today. If that doesn't work - all I can do is go back to total stock, unroot, and restart the process. Life goes on.

Mine definitely says "Unlocked" at the top of the screen on boot - and I'm rooted (I can use Titanium Backup and Wifi Tether)

If it's an issue with the order of rooting and unlocking (I saw no error messages at any stage), can we get a warning placed in the pudding / MoPho FAQ thread please, spare someone else the trouble we're going through? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
Seeing as I'm already unlocked and rooted via Penguin's AIO root- and backed up through Bootstrap, is there any harm in flashing the system.img used in QBKing77's video? Would that solve my problem and let a normal recovery stick?
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
Any idea if this would bork my phone? I don't have a backup - but I -do- want to be able to use CM and Miui (hate MotoBlur). If I'm already AIO rooted and QBking Unlocked, is there any harm to flashing system.img, then flashing recovery?

[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
This worked on my Xoom. Suspect same/similar will work on Photon. Issue is that recent OTA's add files that overwrite custom recovery with stock recovery if you let the device boot (don't let it boot - or if you do, delete those files, then reflash).

unlock

flash recovery

boot into recovery

root

then while still in CWM, no reboot, but instead:

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

reboot with CWM

Only had to flash CWM once.
