[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Yea I have the same version. Acer_A100_1.018.05_COM_GEN2 3.2 kernel 2.6.36.3 on a 16 GB. I am waiting still until I learn more. I'm still not sure the 8 GB ROM would work it. Anyone else with a 16GB try?

Also wont the GEN2 get the same updates at some point?

I think I recall reading something about the updates being pushed from Acer to GEN1 devices first then GEN2.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] athleticdan1:
I am not rooted so what do i do with the file? just download it and it will upgrade?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BigGunn:
Should go in the main directory of your external SD card. Then power off the tablet & turn it back on while holding Volume Down until words appear in the upper left.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phuong_ck:
My current system is Android 2.2.1 so now I want to set up Android ICS 4.0.3 for my HD2. Can I back the system into window mobile 6.5? or continue upgrading from 2.2.1? Can you explain me please, thank you so much! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Are you using NAND or SD? For NAND, create a full backup in CWM then wipe, repartition and flash the new ROM. For SD, just place the ICS build on your SD card under the folder name 'ICS' and make sure the startup.txt has rel_path= ICS (instead of rel_path= Android), and you can boot both builds whilst keeping the data from the other one :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TwanntasticSV:
Just do it the way Nigeldg said.

i'm using the hd2 nand toolkit. there you can do task29 (which is necessary for this upgrade i think) then install magldr an update to the newest recovery which is 5.0.2.6 at the moment.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jose 3071:
Can some one help me I have HTC HDTV2 and it has 2.2.1 v and android I want to update to new program Do I haveto install just the new Rom or do I have to redo all of the programs again? To make my phone 2.3.1 please tell me step by step. OR IS IT JUST A NEW ROM TO INSTALL ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FTimo:
Jose 3071, do you use android market for your currently apps? Then you can install all the apps with "one click" after flash ics rom at the market.

But savegames or settings you have to backup them separately.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGIQEXPO:
Hello everyone! This is my first post but I am a long timeme user of the forums.

So normally I am pretty good with this stuff as I understand a lot about this but I simply can't find a good rom and kernel that is also ICS. Currently I have BrainMasters MIUI 2.3.7 ROM, with the MIUI Trinity kernel.

I tried a few ICS ROMs and I love ICS but all the roms have some sort of problem. Ultimate ICS 2 had constant lock ups on me and my phone doesn't take kindly to over clocking. At all. Cyanogen Mod alpha 18 works okay but it gets very slow once all my apps are on it and it barely multitasks. Apps seem to close whenever left making multi tasking useless. Another one I tried was one that was super charged but the problem here was all super charged ones have done is close the app if left for a few seconds again making multitasking void.

Currently this ROM works no problem but I want to very badly move to ICS goodness. Also if some one can help my phone over clock better that would be nice. Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks, cheers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegtfusion:
Okay. Here are a few roma you have to try.

1) peter alfonso's ICS rom (download at download.peteralfonso.com then in the crespo section)

2) AndroidME rom v1.1 is in development section here on xda.

3) CM9 kangs. (Download from

http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/crespo/ and use the latest g-apps from cm9 alfa18)

That are the roms i like the most. The peteralfonso rom is bugless. :D

But now im on androidME v1.1 with eugene's speedy-2 kernel. Speed, battery life and stability. Just what I need :D

Hope this helps..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2574792:
Peter Alfonso's ROM (check general section) is good. Used it for two weeks without any hitch until i decided to explore other options. Currently on AOSP+ Neapolitan ICS 2.0.3 with no major complaints.

If you want other kernels, matrix and Glados have treated me well so far. I always OC to 200/1200 and have enough battery life for every day.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdpango:
Even the stock ROM seems to have problems (for me the main issue is that battery is definitely worse than on GingerBread), maybe we should wait for a while to let things settle down. :)

That's what I first thought, I kept telling myself, okay so I am gonna wait til these are out of Beta and maybe wait for Cyanogen 9, but then I realized wait a sec this is STOCK Android?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyenxda000:
in my application I have an activity X in which I declared the the bundle in its onCreate method and passed onto activity Y. The parameters are passed successfully, however in activity in Y, the button is used to come back to activity X. In Y activity I create bundle and attached couple of strings and passed down to activity X at the press of a button. However, the bundle data is passed successully when transitioning from X to Y but not from Y to X. I wonder why?

In bundle X I used followin code to create bundle and pass it onto activity Y

Intent myIntent = new Intent(List_entries.this, Create_entry.class);

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();

bundle.putString("activity", "from list_entries");

myIntent.putExtras(bundle);

startActivity(myIntent);

In activity Y, I used following code to return back the data from Y to X:

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), List_entries.class);

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();

bundle.putString("misc", create_entry_inputs[3]);

intent.putExtras(bundle);

setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, intent);

finish();

Upon returning from Y to X, I used onResume to retrieve the bundle content:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();

if(extras != null)

{

String activityName = extras.getString("activity");

if(activityName == "create_entry")

{}}

But this is not working. Can someone see anything wrong here. Same bundle data passed from X to Y is working but not the other way around. Thansk,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyenxda000:
Well I actually found out myself.. :)

trick was to use

startActivityforResult()

onActivityResult()

methods as well as second activity should end by

setResult(RESULT_OK,intent);

finish()

Now I can pass and forth the strings between the activities. :)))
[Xperia Arc General] isotoper:
Hi,

Did you noticed that it takes about 2 seconds (!!) to reach home screen when pressing the home button from any application.

It's happening only on Sony Ericsson launcher so this is pure launcher oriented.

I realy like the SE launcher and don't want to give up and move to another.

Is there any solution for this issue ??

Thanks !!
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Try V6 Supercharger.

And post in the correct section and use the search function!
[Xperia Arc General] isotoper:
Thanks .

But is that actually solving the SE Launcher's Home Button 2 seconds lag ?

I did search but couldn't find any post talking specifically about that.
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Usually it should fix the issue, because among other things it lock the home in memory. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] isotoper:
Thanks for the fast answer .

Do you mean that Go launcher, for example, is already memory locked ?

While SE launcher is not, and that is the reason it takes about 2 sec ?

If you already installed that, how much time it takes you to reach home screen from within another app (Whatsapp for example) ?
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
I'm not really sure about that, but I think so.

That's definitely. ;)

I'm not using Whatsapp, but usually it responds instantly and don't have to refresh the apps/widgets on the homescreens (or you won't recognize it).
[Xperia Arc General] isotoper:
Forgive me for asking, but can you can try to do it from any app, just launch any app you wish, and then press Home. Can you tell me how many seconds passed from the moment you pressed home till the home screen really shown :cool: ?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
As I said, it should respond instantly.

And I'm not using the stock SE Home any more, so I can't.

Just try it. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Mine responds instantly. Using stock ROM v.42 with no modifications.
[Xperia Arc General] rkanwar:
I dont have any issues like that. Only sometimes
[Xperia Arc General] isotoper:
This is exactly what I'm using... stock ROM v.42 with no modifications.

And I don't have so much widgets...

Very strange...
[Xperia Arc General] Rash-182:
Restarting the phone will help for a while. If you are like me and don´t want to mess around with that supercharger thing this is the only way to fix that
[Xperia Arc General] isotoper:
restart didn't help...

Anyway, I installed zeam launcher and everything is super fast.

As I said its a pure launcher issue.
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
I tried SE launcher and go launcher, both got lagging issue (sometimes) when backing to home screen. I'll test zeam later.

BTW, my wife's ArcS perfoams very well. No lag at all.

yes, zeam launcher helps a lot. now i am happy with it. thanks.

Recovery mode does not load once I select it, just black screen with lit up buttons.

How do I flash a recovery image if I can't get into my phone and turn on usb debugging or something?

I have been locked out for about a week and I really don't know what to do, would love some help.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
i leaned towards the neo because of the camera and the hdmi out too but on a mobile device the point of gaming on it is game-on-the go, the xperia play got a bad camera and was a bit more expensive here that's why i went for the neo but the hardware gamepad is kind of tempting me now and kind of regretting i missed that

Same here, since for me, nothing beats having physical buttons for gameplay. And that extra 0.3" diagonal screen space would be a bonus; it's been two months and I'm still having difficulty using the portrait qwerty keyboard.

With the recent release of some sweet bluetooth gamepads that clip onto the phone I don't think you need the plays built in control pad anymore.

Xperia Play, no. Xperia pro, sometimes. But I'm mostly happy with my neo.

My only gripe is how the homescreen seems to get closed when running lots of applications, and then takes (what feels like) ages to reinitialise. Could be RAM issue, but there usually seems to be plenty free. Possibly bad RAM management

Everyone that has a "bricked" device should let the battery die, let it sit on the charger for at least half an hour, and turn on again. AFAIK no Factory Reset / Wipe is neccessary.
