Best phone I have owned.

Compared with the htc hero , desire HD , iPhone 4 , htc sensation and log optinus 3d I have owned.

+ points :

Screen , amazing simply. Colours are bright and vibrant , text and outlines are crisp. Can really tell a difference over the other phones.

Speed. No lagg what so ever , plays gta 3 perfectly whilst listening to music . Can have a little slowness if I am using a heavy live wallpaper.

Honeycomb inspired apps are fantastic. I own a Motorola Xoom which I have been totally impressed with , the music app especially are brilliant , as well as icons and multi task bars. Having it ported over to my mobile has blown my mind.

Battery life : there has been a fair few complaints but as I posted in a battery thread mine will last a day with heavy usage (will include screen shot at the end)

Quality , granted its plastic but it feels like a premium product. Doesn't have the look of the iPhone 4 but the full glass front , no button set up gives the phone a real sleek look. Back plate is flimsy but once its on it feels well built.

Camera: decent picture quality , zero shutter lagg is great . Haven't taken that many photos so I won't comment to much.

Connectivity , GPS and Bluetooth have all worked seamlessly as expected.

Only downsides :

Apps: some are still incompatible which is annoying , its new software so I wouldn't really count this as a issue as it will be fixed.

That's it really , bought this sim free for £529.99. Was unsure and really hoped I wouldn't be disappointed after I had spent that kind of money. I am happy to report that it is the best tech purchase I have made. Well done Samsung & Google , thoroughly impressed

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
The biggest compromise, imho, had nothing to do with Verizon, but was made by Google to Texas Instruments: the TI OMAP processor. The Samsung-made Exynos processor from the SGS2 is widely viewed as the best smartphone processor on the market, so why did Google force Samsung to compromise with the TI OMAP? Nothing against Texas Instruments (they have great products, by most accounts), but Google should have let Samsung make this phone with its own chips imho.

Yes, I definitely despise Verizon's treating of this phone as the ugly stepchild of its Android lineup (like they also did with the Fascinate), but, hey, we still have a top-shelf Samsung product on a reliable network, and with (not so reliable, but still better than HSPA) LTE to boot. Plus, it seems to me that Verizon's handling of the Gnex (and the Fascinate) is more a knock against Samsung than Google...

Terminators run on Android...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Lte is part of the reason. Exynos doesnt play nice with lte. Yet at least. And ti offers a better chipset overall than exynos mish mash of components.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
Hmmm... I learn something new every day... Thanks for pointing that out about the LTE issue :D Hey, maybe Samsung will have that matter resolved by the time they release the *cough cough* Continuum 2 :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
Go back to covering cough cough Motorola phones, Droid Life :p

He is right about one thing, though... the U.S. carriers are given way too much leverage over manufacturers (on the other hand, good luck with getting that subsidized upgrade overseas ;)).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Is Verizon and the Nexus good enough to leave Sprint and my Epic 4G Touch ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
What do you mean by that? Subsidies in Europe are way better than the US lol. They often 100% subsidize the phone (even top-tier devices) for only a 2-year contract, and the service still costs 1/2 of what we pay in the US. AND the non-contract options are still amazing.

Don't kid yourself. We have it worse in every way here.

Been discussed everywhere. That's your personal call man. There are A LOT of factors, and its not worth trying to de-rail this thread to get an answer...

Hmmm... I didn't know that... I had read before that most European carriers didn't subsidize... Two derps in a row for me today :(

Exactly, that's why the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, came with a different processor, to allow their crazy 40+MB/sec modem. The Exynos wouldn't do that.

Just getting started with in the world of android. For the last 5 years I have been using WinMo and loved it but don't care for the new Win Phone. So I came this direction.

Just looking to see what peoples must have apps and tools are. I don't really use my phone for games. Mostly web browsing, light social networking (but hate it being an infestation through out my phone), tools for day to day life with networking and Audio/Video presentations and entertainment.

I have read a bunch of other areas on here, just thought I would ask the people using my same device.
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
Also wondering about the security apps. I have read alot of different opinions on where to use them or not.

But I do like the idea of blocking some apps from getting to things like phone ID contacts and things like that where it makes sense.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I use plume for twitter. Customizable skin, keeps your place pretty well across multiple devices (phone and kindle fire for me).

I use vplayer for playing avi videos. Apparently it doesn't handle 720p videos the best, but I don't tend to download those anyways. I've heard MKV player plays those best.

I use plex media app to stream videos from my pc. With their new myplex, setup is much easier than it used to be.

Sling mobile was working well until my slingplayer died.

I've installed a couple of security apps, always uninstall them. Not doing anything that exciting on my phone and always install apps from secure sources.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
Easy Profile Switcher - Setup profiles to increase battery life and automatically change settings (Ringer, WiFi, Bluetooth, ect.) based on Location or time.

Dolphin Browser-fast with lots of useful addons

Angrybirds - Good game to pass time on train to work ect.

ES File Explorer - Like Total Commander on WinMo6.5

Wol Wake on Lan Wan - Sends Magic Packets to wake a computer even over net.

Subsonic Music Streamer - Stream from PC across the web, also video, tweakable.

Zumocast - Not in VZ's Market, Stream Music and some vids from PC, easy setup.

Team Viewer for Remote Control - Client to remote control a PC with TeamViewer server, easy setup.

TITANIUM BACKUP PRO - Backup almost every aspect of your phone, needs root.

Dood's Music Streamer - Free GrooveShark Client, no Grooveshark registration req.

Netflix - Streaming Netflix, HD not supported on Rezound yet.

My Verizon - Bloatware app that gives you account / usage details.

Amazon Mobile - Amazon.com shopping made easy on a mobile phone.

GotYa! Face Trap - takes pic of anyone trying to unlock your phone, emails pic /w GPS Map Location.

Lookout Security and Antivirus - Virus and Malware protection, Remote phone lock, GPS locator, Remotely ring phone even with ringer off, remotely disable phone.

[HTC Rezound] vudu:
Good list... Gave me a couple new apps to try out.
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
Mc_365:

Great list I have found a few and sounds like a great few more to try out. I am running Scotts Clean rom1.2 and love it and found a few of those in there.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I'm sticking with Temp Root for the time. I've had some issues with my audio jack and may need replacement.

The Wake on Lan app is simple but it will take propper configuration of your router if you want to use it over the net. I'm using dd-wrt flashed on my router you can also use tomato or other 3rd party firmware to get the setup.

The wake on lan app lets me keep my pc asleep until I need it for streaming and such.

I not ready to put my stuff in the cloud yet, and I'm trying to cut my carbon footprint down. Subsonic can be configured to transcode audio/video to lower bitrates to make streaming from home easier. I have 5Mb upload and I had no problems streaming vids of reasonable quality.

I'm also using WiFi Tether, root required.

In the camera app it's right side up but whenever I do a video chat with someone they see me upside down. I have used Tango, Fring, and Qik yet all the apps have the same issue. I am currently running Darkside's Cyanogen 7.2 but I had the same issue on MIUI as well.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
Hi everyone I just bought a Galaxy S 2 four days ago. I rooted it with CF root via Odin. Thanks to Chainfire for that. What I wanted to ask was that the kernel just roots the phone and provides us with Superuser and all the rest of the apps. If I make a back up from CWM will it back up my whole Os which is Stock Samsung Touchwiz?

And also I would like to ask, Can I start flashing Roms now through CWM Flash zip option?

I am facing another problem I am trying to check for any updates but the problem is that when i try to check for updates it always says that it has failed even when i am connected to wifi!

Can anyone please help me with that too!

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
JJE, sort your quoting out man xD

Anyway.

1) Yes if you make a backup in CWM it will back everything on your phone up, including everything in /system.

2) Yes you can start flashing ROMs.

3) Because you're rooted Kies stuff will not longer work.

[Xoom General] galaxys2Tav:
Hi all...

Im just wondering if its actully possible to port or even eddit the files of an .ipa so it can be made to an .apk? I wanting call of duty zombies and as iphone and ipad peices of crap are the only things to have the game, im just wondering if theres a chance i can even have it on my xoom?

Thanks :)
[Xoom General] iNdioNicarao:
I think you posted in the wrong forum. You will probably get a better response by sending this sort of request directly to the publisher or developer of the game. if they get enough interest in a specific platform they may very well port it to that platform.

if you are serious about porting it yourself then just start doing it. you are in an android developer forum. start the tutorials and post questions in the appropriate place!:cool:
[Xoom General] galaxys2Tav:
Yeah ano am in a dev forum but it was just a thing to see if any has started or cud help me do it. I dnt have the fogyest about porting thats why iv posted
[HTC Sensation] Cowboy2199:
Just as the title says, I installed revolution custom rom with sense 3.5 and now my serial number doesn't match the box anymore. Anyone else notice this?

Ok I just thought to look and my IMEI has changed as well.

This might be due to me installing a STOCK rom as I wanted to see if my radio problems would go away and they have, but I think either the Revolution HD rom or the stock has changed my numbers.
[HTC Sensation] Psychoticus:
Yeah i've noticed that happens too, not sure how to fix it for sure but check out the following links.

RESTORE IMEI and Product Code w/o ADB, PC (ALL DONE ON PHONE) nv_data.bin

IMEI Number has changed after custom firmware
[HTC Sensation] Cowboy2199:
I feel like a dork.. I just remembered that I tmobile already had to replace my phone once. I forgot cause it was right after I got it. Of course the IMEI and the SN don't match the box. They sent me a new phone 2 weeks after I got the original back in April or May. I am sorry for wasting your alls time. I looked at the info on the phone itself instead of the box, and it matches. I bow to the android gods and take my leave now...

Be at peace.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
A game that I downloaded made me download extra files within the game to make it work, is it possible that I could copy those files over to a different android device so I dont have to waste time in downloading those files again?

And if so can someone tell me which files it is that I should look for in copying. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgardner323:
Is there a theme for CM7 that will make my phone look something like the Stock look but with CM7 running..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aire:
We are glad to present our kernel and ROM for Xperia Ray (st18i).

Stock-based ROM with cutting all no-necessary software. Kernel assembled from sources with usefull modifications.

ROM is very light-weight but powerful. There are NO any google apps in ROM. This is our rule. You can install it from "standard" GAPPS packadge from CM 7.2 topic.

You may use kernel with our rom or with your own stock-based rom including full stock, with any baseband. (we recommend 58 radio).

Both the kernel and the rom have passed test many weeks before we offer it to you.

ROM features:

- removed bloatware: google apps, SE anonymous statistics, adobe apps, ant+ apps, datamonitor, devicemonitor, facebook apps, timescape and all of their integrations. Thus, you have a lot of space for your programs.

- all other good and useful SE apps are still here: player, gallery, camera (including 3D), FM radio, TrackID, browser, default launcher.

- root and Superuser software are included

- useful switches in notification area, clean and precise battery indicator

ROM downloads:

primary mirror: http://narod.ru/disk/35145199001/ST18i_REPACK4PDA_6.zip.html

secondary mirror: http://www.multiupload.com/VAOQ83X1SX

Kernel features:

- kernel is assembled from SE sources with usefull modifications

- cwm recovery

- light and balanced overclock up to 1.4 GHz (we leave SE frequences grid) (default frequence range: 122 MHz - 1 GHz)

- deep undervolting but working under hard loading

- default and recommended governeur is SmartassV2 (we have been testing power savings for some weeks with many different kernel settings!)

- support for dual channel voice call recording (with CallRecorder software by skvalex)

- as a result, power consuming is just a bit higher in overclocked mode and usually much less than on stock firmware

- guaranted very deep sleep in suspend mode

- very stable work and all-sides-testing

Kernel downloads:

primary mirror: http://narod.ru/disk/36316696001/bootuv5.img.html

secondary mirror: http://www.multiupload.com/UKGMCCMX2C

Installation procedure is usual:

- download rom & kernel

- put rom into sdcard

- you can also put gapps package into sdcard if you want to install Google apps

- reboot your phone to "fastboot mode" (switch off power, press Vol+ button and plug USB cable)

- flash kernel with command 'fastboot flash boot bootuv4.img'

- unplug cable, power on phone, press Vol- when the screen becomes bright for entering to recovery

- select 'backup' option and backup your previous firmware (just for safety reason)

- you DON'T need to clear user data -- wipe is not required!

- select 'install zip', select our rom file, wait for installing firmware

- install gapps package with the same command, if you need it

- select 'reboot'

You get a new rom!

Our plans:

- we are constantly searching for new features to implement into a kernel

- we are testing a kernel with the new approach now, with new compression, with new init.d feature

- stay with us))
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bazonga:
I'm considering flashing your ROM, but why wouldn't you let us overclock to 1.9 or 2.0 Ghz and "only" to 1.4 Ghz?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] piflechien:
Just flash hartej/DoomLord Kernel if you want to OC higher...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bazonga:
Yeah I have that one flashed already, but I would like to know if this one is "better".

To Aire: What can the kernel of this ROM do more that DoomLord's kernel? In other words, why should I use yours and not DoomLord's?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jackchua65:
I am so happy that aire post his great work here!!!!

I am using both kernel and ROM for more than 1 week and I can tell you that is the best in term of stability, speed and battery.

I so frequent checking the 4PDA forum for your work and use Google translate the message. So most of the time is guessing, and now you are here... thank you.. big thank you.

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

Actually you can just try it out yourself to compare the difference and tell us about your finding.

What I found is without further setting, compare to DoomLord's kernel, the battery life is much better in this kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukewong01:
Great to see new developer joining us..!..Yay..hope to see stock with CM7 features ported....:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] coolkaas:
thanks for your interest, guys!

while we prepared this first post (translate it) for bootuv4, aire has released a new kernel bootuv5. But translated features remained from previous ver. Now I will write up-to-dated features for you.

(so what you read 'in our plans' -- this is not future but presence release features)))

bootuv5 features:

- extremal undervolting at all frequencies

- filesystem support: ext2, ext3, ext4, yaffs2, vfat, ntfs

- overclock up to 1.4 GHz (work range 122 - 1024 GHz)

- init.d support

- default (and recommended!) governor is smartassV2

- ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7

- anonymous services support removed (from kernel)

- fota support removed (from kernel)

- bidirectional calls recording

about 1.4 ghz.. Guys, SE kernel has calculated the manufacturer a grid of frequencies, if we add intermediate frequencies or overclock frequencies in table pll2_tbl (in kernel settings) -- in any case we have increasing a consumption.

We don't know how DoomLord has calculate this expanded table but all our tests says that battery drains more rapidly than on the default table. EVEN IF you will set 'default' 1ghz frequency in overclocked (to 1.8-2 ghz) kernel the consumption will NOT as at SE kernel, SE frequencies grid. The reason consists in it.

In real tasks enough 1.4 ghz, guys! But phone perfectly sleeps)) Any percent doesn't spend for a night. Is this not enough?

About init.d. In last repack4PDA (rom) the training script which is in a folder /etc/init.d is added. It named 'Scpufreq' and consists some commands to init default frequencies range and def. governor. You may try to change it for you taste)) But note that names of your scripts MUST begins from upper-case 'S', and permissions must be as r-xr-xr-x.

We will try to answer your questions, because aire have no time to read this topic.

ps. Don't forget that we tested more than month several kernel assembles and give you checked up Emerald))
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Patshad:
Good to see another dev here! I Was using your latest kernel with stock .42 rom from SE for a little week or 2. Worked brilliant. Now I have flashed this rom, the repack4pda .58 version, and I am experiencing severe batterydrain in standby. Overnight I lost 26% when the phone was laying idle on my desk. There were almost nog wakelocks present, phone was awake for 3 times. I had this once before, that was when I flashed the hongkong edition .58 rom posted elsewhere on xda for ray. I think it has something to do with the baseband of this rom.

I found another baseband here on xda (also provided by you, thanks) and flashed that. After the baseband I flashed your kernel. The rom you have made is very fast and sleek, so I hope that this will solve my problem. Otherwise I have to revert to stock .42 again and start deleting bloatware.

See this screenshot of my overnight drain:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vleutmans:
didn't try this rom+kernel....yet.

I'm currently on stock rom + doomlord kernel (bloatware removed from ROM).

I notice better battery life (@same clock speeds as stock) after rooting "and" 'battery calibration' app (free from market).

So fully charge the phone, then when still on charger at 100%, press "calibrate".

Hopefully this tool will extend battery life further :-)

Please send you comments/experiences about the battery calibration, I used this tool successfully on my previous samsung apollo.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Patshad:
I have used that tool before. On .42, I managed to last 51 hours with the phone. Now, when my battery reaches 10%, it goes to 1% and the phone shutsdown. I will try to erase batterystats from cwm as soon as my phone is fully charged again. I used to have a Desire HD, I wiped batterystats from cwm there all the time and that worked great.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] coolkaas:
you can try new kernel w/o reinstall rom. this rom just more clean than we can clear it 'by hands')) if your current rom is ok -- no need to reinstall it.

Question is not for this topic, I think. Recalibrate battery statistics file need if you reflash cyanogen after stock or vice versa. If your rom is stock usually no need battery file deleting.

If your battery drains quick (as it seems to you) at first, once a month it is necessary for us to discharge the battery completely, then charge it _without interruption_. And even allow be at charger 20-30 minutes after 100%. (NOT at all night!) Repeats this twice. After that a new statistics will register to battery file and phone will 'know' it real edges of 0 and 100 percents.

At second, need to see which apps wake phone up. You may install any special app for battery and processes monitoring, e.g. battery mix, and see it statistics after some days for who eat battery)).
