My keyboard has had plenty of use. I recommend making a post asking other avid users about their experience thus far. Once you are used to this keyboard, it can be used quickly while maintaining accuracy.

I even listen to my phone on pandora in a closed bathroom while taking a shower(every day), the moisture from the steam has had no affect on my keyboard either. Its pretty durable in my opinion

ICS Splashed 2.0 MT4GS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
On a side note, I heard.. don't quote me on this: I heard the sensation has a gorilla glass screen, and the mt4gs does not. This doesn't really affect me because I always use ghost armor on my screen so I haven't looked into it. Let me know the details if you do some digging

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
Just to name a few: Flattened 3D widgets, No lockscreen shortcuts, degrading UI tweaks here and there, etc.

You can use the doubleshot camera in the Sensation port, with the exception of the SweepShot feature. The Sensation camera works just as well with a friendlier UI (to me at least), all you lose is the front facing camera. I personally are not very fond of the Genius button and have kept it mapped it to Google on every ROM so I couldn't care less without it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohshootrawr:
Thanks for the replies everyone, every important issue has been brought up thus far, and I'm understanding more each time I get on this thread.

A few last, but rather unimportant questions for you guys:

does anyone like the appearance of their phone?

How's your data speeds? (Perhaps compared to the sensation)

When I got the g2 out of the box, it was a great phone. I personally thought it had a small screen for such a bluky phone though. I noticed that the mt4gs has the same sized screen with the addition of a huge mytouch logo at the top. ... I didn't really like that xD but I dunno, maybe it'll grow on me. Any thoughts?

The data speeds were also nowhere NEAR what I was expecting (my best score on speedtest was .92mb down and 1.96mb up ._.) It takes upwards of 15 seconds to load a desktop page on any browser. Youtube is considerably slow, even when not on high quality. Granted I live in oahu and tmobile can't cover every corner of the earth, but I bought a 4g phone that couldn't even compete with an atnt 3g iphone (my greatest moment of shame). If I'm getting a new phone, I want some improvement in this field xD

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
Re: data speed. I haven't personally validate the before & after difference but if you're rooted there are settings in PropModder that are supposed to remove some caps, and if you look at build.prop of some custom ROMs you'll also notice other tweaks. Info here.

ICS Splashed Mt4gs 3.0
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
I like to use GoLauncher and its Lock Screen, would any of the above matter to me? Also, on my HD2 I had Runnymede 3.5 which I think was only in Portrait and had only 3 buttons on bottom of which one was changeable, MYSense has 5 buttons on bottom and Landscape. So when you refer to Sense 3.0 which does it resemble?

Edit: I went back to RootzWiki to check up, the ROM I used was Sensational ReMix (which is now discontinued), you're probably talking about the Sensation (Bulletproof) 2.1?

I'm sorry, here too I'm not so clear. What are you referring to by the Sensation Port? I tried Virtuous Unity (the new one over at RootzWiki) and the camera interface actually seemed the same to me, I didn't keep it though because Bloater didn't work with it and it ran hot. Are you reffering to a different ROM?

I also wanted the option of having the Genius Button. What is the knock against it? Isn't it like Voice Search Plus (the Plus being that you can use it offline like voice command on old WinMo phones a big plus by me).

Thanks a lot - I'm still trying to figure out a ROM option that makes sense for me (I'm currently using BulletProof 1.1)

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

leoilios, it looks like you went from Senseless to ICS 3.0, how are you finding it? What doesn't work? As someone who uses almost exclusively 3rd party apps (GoLauncherEX, HandSent, Opera, Dialer One, etc.) would it be a good fit?

Thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Ics splashed is the continuation of senseless, and it has definitely gotten even better.

Sensation v2.1 is undeads sensation port, I haven't tried it.

I use adw launcher, and I flashed his sense messaging zip so I can use the stock dialer to partially type a name in order to long press the name to start a text. I know aftermarket dialers already do this. I enjoy the ics icons, battery life, and gpu rendering updates he has in there, people are breaking records on antutu with that rom + the v1a kernel he has linked near the op.

Everything works great. Nothing seems to not work, I recommend it to everyone.

You should make a nandroid backup of your current rom, and try ics splashed. I think its the best rom for the device, you will be happy with it =)

ICS Splashed Mt4gs 3.0
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
The sensation power button is on the top right corner instead of the top left like the mt4gs, and the sensation button is hard to press, especially if you put the phone in one of those rubber cases

ICS Splashed Mt4gs 3.0
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
Correct i was referring to Sensation 2.1 which is Undead's latest Sensation port project built on top of his experience working with VU and Bulletproof. I've been flashing to his progress (translation: trials and errors) and am now comfortable enough keeping it as my daily ROM despite some very minor cosmetic bugs. He tried putting in the Doubleshot camera in 2.0 but couldn't get SweepShot to work without FC so he put the stock Sensation camera back. If you want the Doubleshot camera just dl 2.0, extract it and put it in 2.1.

Re: Genius. The port is based on a stock HTC European image and therefore contains no bloatwares. AFIAK you won't find Genius on any HTC phone except the Mytouch family. I don't know what kind of efforts are needed to port it over to a Sensation ROM.

Re: ICS 3.0, for someone who uses almost exclusively 3rd party apps. I think you'll love it because you're already ok without Sense, and ICS 3.0 is just that plus the latest 4.0 framework and look & feel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tensuke:
Just wanted to correct a few things; the 3.69mm is focal length and the 2.2 is f-stop or aperture size, the smaller the f-stop, the larger the aperture, and the larger the aperture, the more light that gets let in.

And the Sensation does have a slightly older model 8MP camera, so the MT4GS is better in that department. From benches I've seen, despite the qHD resolution, the Sensation actually benches a bit higher, but in terms of actual performance the Slide is still fast and zippy no matter what I throw at it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
You guys are forgetting to mention Zombie Dog's 1.7GHz overclock kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
It was kind of virtuous unity..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Thanks for the correction. I'm not very educated in camera specs but I knew the mt4gs hardware was better.

Also, are you saying there are sensation roms scoring more than 6500 on antutu? That's what I get with my mt4gs

ICS Splashed Mt4gs 3.0
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Its not undeads kernel, virtuous unity v1a is what he's using.

ICS Splashed Mt4gs 3.0
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Daiskei:
6500? For real? Most I have gotten on the Sensation rom has been 5550 at 1.35mhz. I mean, it is a port so that's most likely the reason. Is the 6500 score from ICS Splashed? I'll give 3.0 a try as soon as my replacement gets here. The replacement they sent me for my first phone with a broken headphone jack had a broken sd card slot... kept ejecting the sd card from the phone and the only way to fix it was by resetting the sd card in the slot. :( So, hopefully 3rd times the charm. Lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Yes, this is why I believe if both phones get an ota ics update eventually, and the mt4gs doesn't get some kind of myics, the mt4gs should outperform because of less resolution

ICS Splashed Mt4gs 3.0
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Then again, the sensation doesn't have undeadk9 bustin out roms built for speed

ICS Splashed Mt4gs 3.0
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I didn't read through the whole thread yet to see if this was answered.

The primary reason is the screen.

The MT4GS screen being smaller and of a 'lower resolution' is actually an asset at it's advantage.

What you are looking at is drawing the same picture for less pixels, and less calculations - basically the machine doesn't have to work as hard for the same results.

This compounds itself the more complicated the image(s) are that are displayed to the screen, and why you can get a higher FPS rate on the MT4GS then on the Sensation for the same work done.

I keep saying the smaller screen on the MT4GS is an asset, and this is a big reason why.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Okay, I forgot that the file name was "unity" and not "undeadk9" (don't ban me for saying that!).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
Seriously what's the big deal, it's the wild wild web and anybody can be anybody or nobody. One thing for sure is he doesn't need XDA to continue his passion and dedication to making our device better. So what he bases his stuff off someone else's works (w/permissions)? That's his niche and it's proven to serve the MT4GS community well. Speaking as an user when has any releases on XDA excited you since he left?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
To be fair to XDA, I come here for knowledge, but to leech I go somewhere else ;), at least for now and for this device.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tensuke:
I haven't looked at any custom ROM benchmarks, or any of the updates(heard the mt4gs ota one is faster, oh well ;) ), or the XE or XL. I just saw some preliminary benches with the Sensation doing a little better, and was just speaking in terms of stock settings. Although the Slide should[/] do better with its lower res screen anyway.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STRteg:
Ok So I'm having some issues with my SGSII

I am rooted and I'm running Juggernaut v3.7

When I try and use my camera app I get a warning: camera failed message

It started off happening after my phone had been on for a while (I would get the error message and then reboot and the camera would work fine for a short amount of time, before the error message returned) now I am getting this error message constantly and the only way to get the camera working again is If I reboot into CWM and wipe data,cache,dalvik & reboot or go through the wipe process and re-flash the Juggernaut v3.7 rom. But still even doing so only enables the camera once and then I'm back to my original issues. I've searched the site and other resources available before making this post. Most of the information I have come across with users having similar problems refer to the I9000 and not the SGH-T989.

So my questions are (of course):

Has anyone had these issues?

Has anyone that has had these issues (if any) found a solution?

And does anyone know If this is hardware or firmware related? - (Or can someone point me to the right procedure of figuring out if it is a hardware or firmware issue?)

Hope to hear from someone soon thanks XDA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
Sounds like hardware, or could be kernel, you could try a different kernel ..

Best way would be to Odin back to Stock, and see if it still does it, if it does it on pure stock , you know it is a hardware issue ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STRteg:
Thank you for the reply, I have found a solution to the problem (so far at least no issues) I removed the sd card, re-inserted the sd card and did an sd card format and the problem has gone away. Well at least for the last 12 or so hours anyways. Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
I was just about to say, check your SD card. Same damn thing happened to me a few weeks ago. All it takes is one corrupted image on the card to completely bork the camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STRteg:
Yeah, I was just messing around with it and figured out that the sd card format may have been corrupt, or it could have been a bad file messing with the camera process in android. T-mobile actually sent me a new one that should be delivered today, I'm going to have to send it back now that I have it figured out. lolol

**BTW** I'm using your throttle fix lolol thanks

Hey...not so fast...LOL!

Totally hate to revive such and old thread, but I am currently experiencing the exact same issue using Juggernaut 5.0, and the VKL1 radio, with faux10m kernel. I have in fact remove all external sd cards, and still the camera app keeps giving me Camera Failed. I'm wondering if I install a differnt camera app from Google Play, if this will be a solution? Any tips/advice is quite welcome. I'll be back and let you know if installing another camera app works! Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:

I want to know how can I decompile and compile any Arc apk (calculator, home, conversation, settings, phone, contacts....):confused:

And one more question, is

normal

that when I decompile an apk and I make a little change in a xml, then compile the apk, the size of the apk is reduced??

for example;

unsignedCalculator.apk Modified by me 65,72K

signedCalculator.apk Modified by me 71,79K
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
what you'l find is APKmanager compresses the images and xmls more than the sdk does :) you can turn compresion off in apkmanager.

if you do the framework it almost halfs it's size lol :D

i dont compress apps that were not compressed to start with :) thats my rule of thumb but all in all i dont think it matters too much. but i dont really know :D

Back on topic,

I have found that Sony have some strange entries in the styles.xml (of the semcuxpres) if you look you'll see the ones I mean

I cant recompile the semcuxpres either. But tbh Ive not put much time into it yet as the error was useless... I'm more worried about getting some cool features atm. ( and partying ) I will figure out what's it is and get back to you. ;-)

You can drag drop compiled images and XMLs into the apk with 7zip or winrar etc. If you need more youll have to edit each app separately to bypass the styles.

Pvy.

Have a great new years everyone see you on the flip side.

*** edit *** maybe try installing the x10 framework-res.apk to recompile The semcuxpres. Don't ask why but it had fixed some of my issues b4.
