[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yoohoo99:
The hd skyrocket will be out supposedly march april and so will sony ion....both are hd!

There will be always something better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toxify:
you definitely don't want a sony phone lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
AT&T stores will price match for you too. I can't seem to find that Walmart price that someone quoted earlier, but I bought mine from my local AT&T store price matched to Amazon.com at $179. All I had to do was email the link to the webpage to the lady who was ringing me up. Amazon still has it at $179. So if you like dealing directly with AT&T stores, definitely get it price matched to the best price you can find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
I bought my skyrocket from an ATT store on the 27th of December, but it was for 249.99.

Did the price drop in the past two weeks or did that store just happen to have it listed 50 bucks above what the ATT website says?

If the price hasn't dropped (meaning that the store charged me 50 bucks more than if I had just ordered it online from ATT) is there any way I could complain about it to get that 50 dollars back? I'm betting there's not much I could do but it's always worth a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Yes you should. Go to att rep and tell them to do price match and they will do it. They did it to me and got $100 back from them. SO i got my Skyrocket for #149.99.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
Alright, where did you find it for 149.99 ? Lowest I can find is 179.99.

Ah, finally found it.

.. and I'm not allowed to post links. It's a search on walmarts lets talk page though, found it for 149.99.

Not sure why a normal walmart search wouldn't find it, but I now have a source for 149.99 hopefully they'll give me a hundred dollars back now :)

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Okay I've been fighting with ATT for the past half hour, and they will only price match (and this is AN EXCEPTION just for me supposedly) the online ATT price (199.99). So that's fifty bucks back.

They are refusing to price match the Amazon (179.99) or WalMart (149.99) prices. Think it's possible to continue arguing with them to drop down to the walmart price?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
If walmart won't pricematch go to Best Buy. That's how I got mine for $149. I typed in a zip code in New York on their computer on the At&t site and as soon as they saw the price, they price matched it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toxify:
I got mine for free on contract through Rogers..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
I'm trying to price match with ATT. I purchased it from an ATT store (unfortunately). They will only price match with another ATT store. I can find 199.99 on ATT's website, but Can't find a zip code where it's still 149.99. What Zip code did you use to pull up 149.99?

I purchased the phone for 249.99 by the way, so no matter what I'll get at least 50 bucks back, but I'd prefer the full 100.

EDIT: basically I need a zip code that will make the ATT website say that the Skyrocket is 149.99. I keep getting 199.99

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

From tier 1, I've been transferred up twice so far. They are not budging on this. Any help?

Okay, I think I was upto tier 5 or 6, and they said they would refund the restocking fee, and let me do a full refund and order my phone from anywhere else I please. Jeez. I complained that it's much easier to simply refund me the 100 dollars but they were very adamant. Oh well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Yeah that's bull. They had no problem price matching mine to Amazon.com at my local AT&T store. According to the guy in post #2 here, sounds like they don't like to do it because of losing commission. Makes sense I guess. But they really should have a standard policy on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
It's inconvenient, yes. But I am still saving the 100 bucks. So if you paid 200 or 250 for your skyrocket, call them and complain and if they won't just give you cash/credit to make up the difference, get them to waive the restocking fee and then return and order a new one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
Hi

I am looking into starting out in developing Android Apps and modding the Source OS itself. I have had a little search round on here but given the fact it seems impossible to force the search to use the exact search its bringing up hundreds of non-sense results (had to use google to find the modded Google Currents apk on this site).

Anyway what I am interested to know is what environment dev's are using and is it possible to do it all in a Windows OS or is this not a good idea?

Any help very much appreciated with getting good setup from the start and all opinions welcome.

Thanks in advance

Anyone tested this rom? How fast is the launcher? Bugs?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fishton:
Great !

Any chance to get it hosted in Europe ? Download is just impossible from uk

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
No problem to download it from here (germany).

Edit:

What is the name of the live wallpaper in the opening post (or is it just a wallpaper)? Is it downloadable somewhere?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] abima80:
wifi not working

just finish installing your rom the rom feels great but found out that wifi not working.

Upgrade to monley kernel, wifi still not working.

P/s: not working meaning can scan but cannot connect.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] clicka:
wifi is just working fine here, no problems so far.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chriscsh:
is that include touchwiz apps (email, calendar, launcher..) or aosp apps?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kfjunky:
Great to see a fellow Japanese (you are, aren't you?) Dev.

Downloading now!

Flashed and set up.

Using motley's kernel for OC.

Launcher is smooth, no need for Adw anymore.

Wifi connects with no issue.

Thanks for the great alternative!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] abima80:
how come my tab having wifi problem.. ok then will try to reflash again.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jzuijlek:
How smooth is the launcher, is the judder completely gone?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] abima80:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kfjunky:
I won't say completely, but the smoothest I've experienced so far on my 8.9

Give it a try!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
It includes touchwiz launcher ans samsung touchwiz apps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nicregi:
Interesting. Gonna give it a try when I reach home... Fingers crossed!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
今日は。ごめなさい私はドイツ人です。でも四年まえに日本に来ました。

I am happy that you like my ROM.

Sorry for the inconvinience. But as I said in the first post, I have no possibility to test the ROM. So I cannot tell you where the problems came from.

Anyway I am happy that it works now for you.

どうもありがとうございました。

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. Glad that I can help out here even without having a 8.9er tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] htw:
I can Share a link for downloading in Filesonic if BeeGee_Tokyo doesnt have any problem with this.....So i am asking your permission...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
No problem if you give an alternative download link.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kfjunky:
Apologies for spamming your thread, but couldn't resist.

Wow, a German in Japan developing! Just great.

I've admired your work since your X06 Desire Oxygen mods.

My first custom ROM.

Take care!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] abima80:
it seems that i only can connect to wifi router not wifi router from my htc hd2. used to hv wifi connection from my hd2 as backup when running overcome.

great rom anyway

Ok, here is a link for download

you may move it to the first page if you like i will post in about 2 hours another link in megaupload... sorry but the upload here is awful...and it takes too long

Why don't you try multiupload, here is the Rom from Multi:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Thanks for both!

I did upload it last night to MultiUpload too, but had no time to post it yet. Download link is now added on my homepage (sorry, but I need some visitors to get some money from my ads).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fishton:
Hi

I m experiencing a really annoying lag on Home with your rom and Motley's kernel.

It takes 2 or 3 sec for switching on the screen when you press power button

Any clue ?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I have no 8.9er tablet, but I know that the launcher is laggy at the very beginning. But after dalvik-cache is build up and all background installations and setups are done it is good.

Not acceptable ( I know), as it seems that the touchwiz extensions (that Samsung build into the ROM) makes the launcher slow. But as long as there no ICS AOSP build available there is not much that can be done.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] htw:
Is it so difficult for developers and for those who knows to build a rom to remove touchwiz?? or by removing them the rom will be unstable?? just wondering
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fishton:
Hi

i m not using Touchwiz at all, I switched to ADW since the first start of my tablet.

This lag is new, I wasn t experiencing it with Overcome rom and it appears straight after installing yours

When my tab screen is off and I switch it on, it take 3 sec or more to display the unlock screen like.

It s really annoying and not usable :(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
There is a thread in the P7100 Themes and Apps forum that takes out Touchwiz, but you I think its not updated for the newer ROM builds.

He changed a lot of system files to get AOSP look and get rid of touchwiz. But it seems its too difficult to update for all new tablets and ROMs that are coming out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] coffeeboy:
Can i use your rom with pershoot kernel?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I was not aware that Pershoot is making P7300 Kernels. If there is one, then for sure you can use it. Pershoots P7500 Kernel works perfect with my ROM on my P7500 3G tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] dskhas:
Wonderfull news, I remember yours ROM for Advent Vega tablet, I will try this one inmediatlly,, THANKS
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Update V0.5b

[UPDATE]

Updated the ROM with small enhancements.

This update can be used only if you already have a Ganbarou GT V0.5a ROM installed. If not, please install first my ROM. This would be a Ganbarou GT V0.5a for Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 GT-P7300.

Changelog:

Added Recovery reboot to PowerMenu

Browser with UAstring options in the settings menu

6 ROM versions available for 10.1 (P7500), 10.1N (P7501), 8.9(P7300), with original Samsung icons and with AOSP icons

The bug with the mouse pointer not visible is fixed as well.

The versions with the Samsung icons have now the colored icons in the settings.

As a small add-on I included the Photo Browser coming from the Acer Icona tab. Really fast and fancy. Check the video on youtube.

Download:

Ganbarou GT V0.5b 8.9 Android icons

Ganbarou GT V0.5b 8.9 Samsung icons

[/UPDATE]
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
But this is optional and the normal gallery is still available, isn't it? I don't like the Acer Iconia gallery because you don't have a good overview in folders with many pictures.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Yes, of course the original Gallery is still in.

And if you do not want the Acer Iconia and want to save space delete the following files out of the ZIP file before flashing:

/system/app/3DPhotoBrowser.apk

/system/lib/libaceralbum.so

/system/lib/libphotoflow.so
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
I've tried your rom. I installed the v0.5b rom and everything worked fine. Then I installed the Update file (with Samsung Icons) and then the rom was not usable anymore because after reboot I couldn't exit the lockscreen. The tablet just didn't recognize my finger on the touchscreen and I was stuck in the lock screen. I tried some reboots but always the same. Had to restore my stock backup then.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I am sorry for the problem, but I have no idea what happened. I switched between Samsung icons and AOSP icons several time without any problems.

If you prefer the Samsung icons, you could do the following:

Open the Ganbarou GT V0.5a ZIP file with WinZIP or 7Z (Do not extract it, just open it)

Open the update ZIP file with WinZIP or 7Z as well

Copy the system folder from the update ZIP file into the Ganbarou GT V0.5a ZIP file.

Close both files

Rename the Ganbarou GT V0.5a ZIP file into Ganbarou GT V0.5b and flash it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] clickinfo:
I have the same issue. I've tried both update, with samsung icons and android icons. After every update and reboot the screen always rotate and i couln't exit lock screen.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] clicka:
It is because the Update is missing

#Samung HWLCD Rotation
ro.sf.hwrotation=90

in build.prop.

This is necessary for the touchscreen on GT-P73xx.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Thank you very very much. I missed this change when I made the update.

@jenne1980 & clickinfo

I uploaded new version of the update (Ganbarou GT V0.5c). With this version it should work.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
Thank you, I'll try it tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Reeby:
Beautiful ROM, thanks!

But the HDMI rotation issue is not resolved
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
BeeGee_Tokyo,

Are you thinking of getting rid of TW in any ROMs?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Sorry, as mentioned in the first post, I have no Galaxy Tab 8.9 and cannot test the ROM on this device. If you find a solution in any other ROM let me know and I will implement it.

Lets wait for ICS and then see if we can get rid of TW. My feeling is that Cyanogen is faster than Samsung, so the first full working ICS ROMs will have no TW because they are based on AOSP and not Samsung specific ROMs.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] zmagas1:
I like the ROM, but still launcher is a little bit laggy. Also sometimes when I'm using the ROM it would be a lack of RAM.

Where can I find wallpaper from the ROM, as I changed and can't find stock Ganbarou wallpaper?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
The wallpaper is in the framework-res.apk. But you can find a download link in my other Ganbarou thread for the Galaxy tab 10.1 (7500) forum.
[HTC ChaCha] raylgo:
First off, are there different types of XTC Clips? The brother of my friend has one but we both are not sure if it is the same one that will work on the Chacha.

Second, his brother doesn't have a lot of experience with HTC devices and neither do I (the ChaCha is my gf's). Where do I find a step by step guide to using the XTC Clip so I can show it to him. He hasn't been updated to the recent developments so he's not confident on working with a ChaCha.

Third, what settings should I put the phone in after the S-Off? In my limited readings, it sounds like after setting the phone to S-Off, you can tinker a bit with the settings. The FAQ I read said this :

"After doing your phone S-OFF, you do set follow functions on factory settings

- sim lock

- hboot lock ( this is the bootloader lock, you will be able flash cooked rom after this)

- cid lock (region lock so you can't flash it with other roms, unbrand it, or downgrade it)

- user lock (will be set to factory default)

- pattern lock (will be set to factory default)

- phone usage counter (helps you refurbish the phone)"

I don't quite understand what it means or how it will turn out. But what are the settings (functions?) that I should use to have no problems flashing custom ROMs and kernels and getting root access? and what will it look like? I wont be the one doing the process and the one doing it doesn't have much of a clue too so I have to ask a lot...

Hope you don't mind answering :cool:
[HTC ChaCha] raylgo:
BUMP :confused:
[HTC ChaCha] janplacek:
Hello,

I don't know if there are different types of XTC Clips but you can just try it. It's all about experimenting...

If you are looking for a good tutorial, try search some videos about using XTC Clip on youtube. There are a bunch of them for different phones. Chacha won't be much different.

- sim lock

It's a function, that will lock your phone for usage with just one operator. After applying XTC Clip this lock will disappear and you can use sim cards of all operators.

- hboot lock

This is the lock which prevents you to flash custom ROMs. Your boot sector (partition) is read only and you can't modify it. With this lock you can flash just original signed ROM, therefore it's the main reason to apply XTC Clip.

- cid lock

CID is the number of region (or country). It has an impact on locales, languages and keyboards on your phone. And it also effects ROMs which you can use (it must be the ROM for your CID). After XTC Clip you will have Super CID and you can flash every ROM you want. But if your phone has some special keyboard (for example qwertz or azerty) you should search this forum because of some problems with it.

- user lock, pattern lock

It's just about preventing your phone to unauthorized acces, for example unlocking your phone's screen by gesture and so on... By default it's turned off so the XTC Clip will also turn it off.

-phone usage counter

Probably some statistics about using the phone - uptime, number of starts, battery history... I don't know exactly.

If I am wrong at some point, somebody correct me, please.

How come my /system folder doesnt contain 'recovery-from-boot.p'? It did before. Isnt doing a complete restore put everything back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
Nevermind, figured it out. Its part of 4.0.1, I just restored 4.0.1 just to see, and it updated to 4.0.2, rooted again, and there it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
You did a restore from the images Google posted and it wasn't there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
Yes, from googles servers themselves. In 4.0.2 it was not there, 4.0.1 it was.

*Edit, When loading straight 4.0.2 it was not there, when loading 4.0.1, then getting the OTA update to 4.0.2 it was there. So it must be in 4.0.1, and not the straight 4.0.2

[Acer Iconia A500] adambomb_13:
I have 2 questions I am fairly new to the a500 although I have had an evo 4g for years and I have been flashing roms for many more.

I know thebquestion has been asked is there a way to move apps to the sd card. I am wondering if darktremors app2sdgui might work for our tablets and if so how to ise it. I have been seeing threads where people are using 64gb sdxc cards but whats the point if you cant move apps. Im starting to think thosbtablet sucks half the games dont work and you cant freely moves apps.

Anyway my other question is if there is no way to use app2sdgui is there any roms available that allow you to move apps and still have all the tablets good features? I have searched and from what I can tell most roms dont really say they can do it.

Thanks from the bomb
