I used the Amazon market version which I picked up for free, but restored from TiBu instead of the market. In fact, I've restored all of my apps and data with each new version with no problems. The only thing that doesn't seem to restore successfully is my WiFi access points, but I assume that's because Leoisright is making changes to help those with problems.

I still can't get it to work, is it because I'm in the UK?

I have tried Samsung build prop, evo 3d build prop, moving the game files from my evo to the correct directory on the touchpad and moving the plants vs zombies APk, it will open and do an update check that fails everytime, it will not appear in the market on my tp whichever build prop I try. I tried buying it again from the Amazon app store but because I'm in the UK it said "unsupported region"

Really annoying I can't get to run, seems like it would be a good tablet game, can anyone share there build prop with me??
[TouchPad General] mputtr:
Use. the. original. build. prop.

and if you're using it from amazon appstore, you need something to spoof your location or atleast have a billing address in the US.
[TouchPad General] Nathanation:
Yep I've tried the original build prop, HP tenderloin etc. Wiped caches, cleared market data, Google framework services data, still dosent show up in market.... I give up lol
[TouchPad General] peliopoulos:
I can't see it in the Play Store and Amazon isn't an option for us Canadians. I'm going to try setting dpi to 160, clearing app data, flashing latest CM9 nightly, clearing Cache and Davlik and then see.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rasmusvm:
Hey

I had the chance to play with a stock sgs2 today, stock 2.3.5 software.

Mine is running lite'ning rom 6.1 + #k2-18 kernel which works great

But I noticed a big difference in screen brightness :o

My phone is back from when sgs2 was released this one was 2 days old.

I tried to lower brightness on both phones to minimum. Mine was alot brighter, its weird imo. Any clues on how to explain this? Is it Rom related ?

Anyways, for some time ago I found some script somewhere here on xda that would guide into some settings to manually lower brightness on the screen. But I really cant find that topic anymore :/ even google isnt my friend on this one..

I always run the light on lowest, because I can easely see stuff on the screen, and would like to lower it even more, to save some battery :)

Can anyone help me find that topic?

Thanks,

and happy new year!

Regards Rasmus

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
The SAMOLED-display is the "problem". The brightness decreases rather fast and they have a tendency to burn in. Besides that all of them are different. This was best seen when people found out about the yellow-side-problem. Some had, some didn't, some had more, done had less.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sea_salt:
but as far as I understand Rasmusvm, he said, that

his

screen (the old one) was the brighter one, that's why he's confused...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systemcrasher:
check if the display settings are consistent on two phones.. there are 3 options Movies, Standard and Dynamic. There is bit of difference between the settings.

But I can not think of any other software settings that may make difference in screen brightness... it's probably hardware thing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rasmusvm:
Yes its my screen that is more brither than the new sgs2.

It wasnt a little bit you barely would've noticed, there was a huge difference :o thats why I find it odd..

But Im still looking for that guide to change screen brightness :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] n0oblettz:
I'm trying to fix my friend's HTC amaze (wind). The screen wasn't turning on but I know that the device itself is on because the computer detects it. I was suddenly able to get it working by reflashing the stock ruu. Then I got everything working rooted it and unlocked the bootloader and installed quicksense. Then I gave it back to my friend and he put his sim card into it and tried to turn it back on but then the screen suddenly didn't show anything again and the light at the bottom shows which is strange. I'm not sure how to diagnose it. My friend got the phone from his friend who got scammed and the phone isn't under warranty. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
It may not have warranty from the carrier but it does have the warranty from HTC. Call HTC and you send the phone it to them. They'll fix it and send it back. I did that multiple times. I bought HD2s from eBay and I called HTC. They fixed the phone for me.

[General Topics] Gambler_3:
I just used the galaxy nexus for the first time and I am shocked to find out that there is no way to rearrange the app drawer to make the latest installed applications appear at the end. To have alphabetical order as the only order seems laughable to me.

It is a feature I absolutely need so my point is why should I buy the galaxy nexus when the first thing I'll be doing is finding the right launcher that would probably significantly change the look?? Why shouldnt I get galaxy S2 instead which offers much more customization out of the box? It would eventually get ICS and would retain anything that touchwiz offers but ICS doesnt.

When customization is the holy grail of android it seems very puzzling why google continues to leave out such essential features. It only invites other manufacturers to implement these things themselves. If I was a person with suitable authority working in a company making android phones, I certainly would want this feature to be modified on my company's phones.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
This whole rant over an alphebetized app drawer? Thats the only arrangement that makes sense anyway? Go ahead buddy, enjoy your bloatware.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Funny, isn't that the very mentality you mock WP7 users for?
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
What are you even talking about here? WP7 doesnt have an app drawer?
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
"That's the only arrangement that makes sense anyway." Okay, so it's the way you feel is most logical and thus it's the only way it should be implemented? You just blow up on anyone here who doesn't share your endearing adoration for android and it's sad. His point is certainly valid, and he didn't address it in an aggressive way.

To OP, I completely agree. I don't think I used the default launcher after launcher pro, and then ADW Launcher came out. It does tend to destroy the whole point of buying a phone without the, "bloatware."
[General Topics] Gusar321:
The Android Market is full of different launchers. Contrary to WP7, we can run pretty much whatever we want, instead of being limited to what the vendor serves us.

And congratulations on staining yet another thread with WP7 stuff.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
For real, no one was even talking about WP7.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Blah blah blah, won't run as smooth, blah blah blah, unbearable lag.

We've done this dance before and I don't intend to watch a couple of people who base their points on, "I can't see it, it's not there." attempt to piece together an argument against the fact that android still cannot get a hardware accelerated UI after all this time, and won't be able to without a ground up rewrite. Issues won't be resolved until they're addressed by the general populace.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Umm, thats great z33, but in this thread we are talking about Android and Android OEM's. Not IOS, not WP7...Android.

To the OP, it is your choice. The same reasons you like touchwiz are the same reasons some of us enjoy AOSP. That is the beauty of Android though, right? The choice.
[General Topics] Gambler_3:
To you it makes sense not to me, there is a reason why pretty much all non-nexus android phones have alot of options in the app drawer. Giving an option does not in any way hamper the experience for those who will stick with the default option.

Ofcourse the nexus is not an iphone or windows phone and you can always install launchers but that completely destroys the "pure google" experience.

And the bloatware you talk about is often quite useful just that it is not always best optimized and can hamper performance but the example I gave the galaxy S2 has one of the best stock launchers on any android phone.

I mean I hardly use much of the google services in a nexus phone except for gmail and search, should I call all the other stuff bloatware as well? Bloatware is subjective.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
WTF has this to do with the topic of this thread? Dude, seriously?
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Don't mistake your terms. The GSII does not use a "stock" launcher. It uses a touchwiz launcher. The term "stock" refers to the AOSP launcher. Vanilla is an acquired taste...it is not for everyone.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
Why does a "pure Google" experience matter? Android gives you the possibility that if you don't like a component you replace it. To me that's a lot more important than some supposed "pureness".
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Please, do feel free to post something on topic. You're the only one who has yet to thus far. I feel it has everything to do with the thread. Samsung's "bloatware" on the gs2 created the first remotely smooth android experience due to being the first with a stock hardware accelerated browser and a UI that was accelerated in some areas. If the bloatware improves android, the only reason to go stock is the updates.
[General Topics] Gambler_3:
It uses the stock samsung launcher, it is "stock" for that phone. When I talk about stock I mean something that is there out of the box.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
My comment about alternative launchers was fully on-topic. Your WP7 stuff wasn't, it was pure flamebait. Well, congratulations, you hooked me.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
So it pains you to put a third party launcher on a nexus, but not to use a third party launcher on your GSII because that's the way it came out of the box?
[General Topics] Gambler_3:
It is one of the key selling points of a nexus phone.

And as for custom launchers I would like to point something out. I tried launcher ex on the xperia play but for some reason the app drawer just didnt have nearly the same butter smoothness as the sony launcher which rivals iphone smoothness to me. Whereas on the galaxy S1 I felt the launcher ex improved the smoothness.

Question is will other launchers compromise the smoothness on the nexus? That would be really annoying.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
So really, a pure google experience offers nothing remarkable aside from updates, Samsung and other companies create launchers with many benefits.
[General Topics] Gambler_3:
Well obviously this thread is talking about the out of box experience. Plus there arent that many launchers that work well with ICS right now anyways.

Plus why is samsung a third party when it is the one making the phone? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrash357:
Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum as i just got my first android device.

I've already rooted my SGS II and installed VillainROM 3.0 to gain battery life but it doesn't seem to have improved much, maybe it has even decreased, so i must have done something wrong when installing it.

I use CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4 as a kernel, and the XXKF2_ROM-XXKF2_MODEM-Modem modem, maybe that's what's wrong.

Do you have any idea of better kernels or modems i could use so that VillainROM actually improves battery life ?

In addition i'd like to remove as many services and system apps as possible, and underclock my phone during the night. I've already got autostarts and root explorer for the first two points, but do you have some other apps to suggest?

Thanks a lot !

PS: I've seen the thread about VillainROM, but i can't post there as i'm new here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me_ashman:
Try a different kernel. The rom makes little difference imo but a good kernel makes a huge difference. I always tend to use stock odexed rom with a good kernel.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrash357:
I'll try some other kernels, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] wojtas29:
i'm in o2 uk

my current rom is 2.3.3 version 1.34.2061

when i tried check for updates just got information that phone is up to date.

can someone confirm what is actually highest (original stock) rom version?

few months ago i tried flash custom rom, but i was not happy with them and i did rollback to original. maybe i didn't everything correct and this is a reason of lack updates
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Did you super cid? I believe doing so would keep carrier updates from being sent to your device.
[HTC Sensation] wojtas29:
ok, thanks pal

maybe you know, where can i find newest official htc rom?

i'll try supercid and htc rom after that
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Sorry... I think you misunderstood me. I was asking if you were already super cid'ed. Because if you were, that would explain why you were not receiving system updates from your carrier.

Setting your CID to super CID will not help you in this matter.
[HTC Sensation] wojtas29:
Ok, now undersdand.

I'm not sure did i replace cid or not.

How to check my current cid?

And finally how to rollback original cid. I'm in o2 uk
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Here is how I know to check the CID on your device (and a lot of other details):

adb shell cat /proc/cmdline

That should result in a lot of text on your terminal. You want to find the value that follows: "androidboot.cid="

If you are super CID, it will be a bunch of ones (like 1111111) and nothing else.

I'll get back to you on the thread for a list of valid CIDs.
[HTC Sensation] wojtas29:
Thanks a lot.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Here is the thread that provides the most help for what you're trying to accomplish (at least from what I assume).

In it there is a mention of another thread where CIDs are being collected.

hth...
[HTC Sensation] wojtas29:
i can confirm that i had cid 1111111 in my phone.

i changed it first time for valid o2 cid but still not got any updates, then replaced for htc cid but still any updates got.

btw i'm sure, htc has released 2.3.4 for my device, and i'm stuck by 2.3.3
[HTC Sensation] wojtas29:
ok, last question

where can i find not branded, latest original htc rom?
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
I think this is the best there is for finding stock ROMs.

There is a FileFactory link in the 1st post (or right here) for a grip of RUU files. Those will contain the original distributions from the various carriers.

I wish I was able to point you to the correct one, but I really have no idea.

Happy New Year!

Are there any vanilla 4.0.3 AOSP ROMs out there I could flash on my LTE GNex?

Or would I have to compile my own using the 4.0.3 binaries?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iconoclastnet:
So far, all the 4.0.3 roms I've seen floating around have all been "enhanced" in one way or another to varying degrees. None of them seem to be pure vanilla, and it can be a bit tricky to figure out which has the fewest flavor sprinkles added on top. But I'm sure that sooner or later someone will post a nice mostly vanilla 4.0.3 build, so keep an eye out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
it would not work, unfortunatly the CDMA binaries are not available yet, so if you compile you would not be able to get a signal. I have no idea how people are making CDMA 4.0.3 roms without the binaries, but if I had to guess i'd say theyre pulling them from the official 4.0.2 ROM somehow.

Don't try to fix issues in replacement phones. You send them back and keep sending them back until you get a replacement that just works correctly.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
Performing the OTA block sort of raised a question. Since we cant just rerun root scripts on top of root scripts to gain the updates that are added to the root processes, like the white on white menu change patches or keyboard change patches, I was wondering if Titanium backup could be used as a developer to backup the specific file that was changed in titanium backup and provide it for the rest of us to install and restore it on our tablets so that would be the only thing changed?

sort of a painful work around using titanium backup until we get the boot loader figured out. I dont know if this is possible, just throwing it out there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RLW930:
Maybe the script could be made to detect if each step has already been applied before applying it. If that is too difficult then the script could prompt a yes or no before applying each section. Either of these, it think would be easier for people, than Titanium would be.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KryptosXLayer2:
I'd like to know the answer to this as well, this would be really cool to have a slide to unlock from ICS and then Face Unlock the phone! In my case, I'd love to add a third step and use the fingerprint scanner on the Atrix to get the phone completely locked down, but that may be asking for too much....

Anyone use both Widgetlocker AND Face Unlock at the same time?

EDIT - for Face Unlock, I've been using the alternative Pattern Unlock when it doesn't recognize my face. When you use Widgetlocker, it typically swipes to unlock and goes straight to the pattern entry. A few times, though, it has fired up the camera and recognized my face to unlock the phone though! How to I get it so it defaults to that automatically instead of the pattern unlock most of the time?
