Wow, I stand corrected. I completely forgot about that one lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
That will be the old age creeping in :p joke ...... I'm so old i can remember when consoles came with built in games not dashboards :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AdsCode:
Is it faster?

can it possibly be slower than the stock launcher?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DeanBoro:
From what has been developed so far it doesnt run slow at all :)

No screen lags or as such.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
The stock launcher is slow because it has to read and write to a database file on launch, once open it's quite fast.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] spineforu82:
Any new screen shots or news?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
It's okay... I understand your excitement. I'm also amped waiting for this.

If it's as good as I expect, I'd have no problem deleting the official Xperia PLAY launcher.

What I'm wondering is if it'll allow us to customize the image displayed and change the title like you can in other folder organizers (for example: renaming GTA3 to fully display "Grand Theft Auto III," even if that change is only effective inside the launcher).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DeanBoro:
Someone asked me the exact same question last night and I was looking on ways to actually do that and it is possible so I think I will be able to do that.

I was looking through the Espier coding and how they manually add images and such and it seems simple enough so I will have a look through this on Sunday morning when I am back.

Also for everyone to note

VERSION 0.1A will be out on Sunday :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Awesome!!!! Can't wait. I for one am not complaining about this whole thing at all. I would rather it come out when its ready not because people are moaning around about it. Thank you to you abd your team for their efforts. :) Just curious any word on getting the touchpads to work?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] spineforu82:
Awesome thanks for the update!!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magnumutz:
Sunday, lovely!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DeanBoro:
A fellow member of our team have been working on that so I can't quite say for sure if it will be in the first version or not.

But there has been some work done with it i know that ;)

Oh its a concrete deadline people dont worry will be released later today ;)!

I don't suppose I need a custom kernal for this? I have root but haven't yet decided to make the jump into custom rom'ing yet :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bubblegumballoon:
Nope this app shouldn't require a custom kernel or rom (I dont see why it would).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DeanBoro:
This will work on current android SE 2.3 but it is recommended to use CM7 or CM9 or any ICS ROM as that is what it was designed with and for.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
@DeanBoro just wondering where you were hosting the app will it be here, market or your new icx site thanks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gavin-phelan:
Weres it??
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DeanBoro:
It will be placed here and on the ICX website.

The team are just finishing off the few final touches with the settings then it will upload immanently ;)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
close enough. sounds like a joke, the English man the Irish man and a Welsh man walk in to XDA.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bubblegumballoon:
Oh well im sure if nothing gets posted on monday we can expect something in the next few days maybe. Anyway there no point in complaining, these guys are creating this app for us for nothing. :)

Maybe when its near completion at some point in the future they can release a donation version on the market.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gavin-phelan:
Lol :)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
Never. Fake is imposseble. I trust DeanBoro.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
any chance of an update of how its going thanks a lot.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bubblegumballoon:
Guys dont start claiming its fake just because it didn't reach the deadline, what would he gain from making a fake post anyway?

Just stay patient.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Exactly!

Would you rather things be functional? ...or have him pull a Bethesda and release critically flawed software that's unusable day one?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] b1g1an:
If he just said he was working on this and would release when ready no one would be *****ing and more likely be giving polite encouragement.

It's because he keeps making rash promises and then not delivering anything that people are getting upset.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mulllen666:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElPants21:
Im a relative Noob, so please bear with me.

I have a US version ET4G and was fiddling with starburst rom, getting converted to look like ICS. Right about 2 days ago, i saw somebody successfully ported theirs with ICS 4.0.3 from the UK. got it, went to flash it with Odin 1.83. (included in the download)

about 98% done, it froze. Odin estimated 2 minutes, i gave it 5 after that but still nothing, so i disconnected it. It boots the Kernel from the GT-i9100, then into ICS But. .

What it cant do:

Connect to wifi networks, wifi direct, or sprint hotspot

Connect to Cellular, 3g, or 4g networks

Connect via USB (Set up for mass storage)

Read the onboard Micro SD card (card verified functional)

It Can:

Send and receive files Via Bluetooth

About Phone:

Model #GT-i9100

Android Version 4.0.3

Baseband Version: Unknown

Kernel Version: 3.0.13-I9100xxKP8-CL42141 se.infra@SEP-53 #3

Build # IML74K

Laptop wont recognize it, ditto for ODIN on the pc. Clockwork mod replaced by ICS standard recovery tool

Any Ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Oh man...you have balls trying that. Wish I could offer some advice but if you can't use Odin and don't have CMW recovery to bounce back to I have no idea what to do. Hope you find something though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenaciousj:
Sounds like it's junk now. I will never understand why you people keep flashing international roms to CDMA phones.

only thing I can think of is try installing the drivers for the euro version and hope it gets the USB port to recognize in Odin.

Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colorado_al:
Try a USB jig to get it back into download mode. Then ODIN a ROM made for the epic 4G touch.

If that doesn't work, buy a new phone.

Not sure why people keep trying to load ICS rooms built for other phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
Is the phone being seen at all by the computer, even as just an "unknown device?"

If so you just need the right drivers.

If not, I would try finding a stock update.zip that you can reflash in the ICS recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
You sir are an ... &%$*#@ for doing that. Go buy a new phone and good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
Yep, you are toast...

another example of why you need to read, learn,read, research, read, and read more before you mess with your electronic gear...otherwise, this is the kind of thing that will happen..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colorado_al:
That's pretty harsh. Dude f'd up for sure, but don't have to pile on.

Might still be possible to flash a stock update, but not looking good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Do a search; many people have done this and so far none have been able to recover. You have to get a new one somehow; hopefully you are insured. Sorry.

Edit: If you can post a link to the site where someone "successfully" ported a UK ICS ROM onto the Epic Touch, please post it here so we can try to put a stop to this madness. It doesn't work. Though I think Calkulin stripped off the bootloader and some other stuff before putting it on the Epic Touch, but it force closes like crazy, is unusable, and he protected the phone by stripping stuff off that would hard brick it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] punwik:
I am at a loss for words! I really wish I could help you man! I would do like someone else suggested and try flashing an update.zip if you can get into recovery somehow!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kchannel9:

Sorry man people here are man and rude. But so many people do this and don't pay attention,THERE ITS NO ICS FOR OR PHONE. Download the drives for the phone version and hope it works.if not insurance or Get you're self some jtag services. Mobiletechvideos.com might do it not sure. Our phones are so expensive not to read read everything twice if your not sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Add this E4GT to the pile of bricked phones for poor souls who leap before learning. Someone is going to figure out how to fix this issue, snatch up all these bricks for a quarter and make a killing. In the mean time I guess we get to keep seeing these threads popup over and over.

Odd how they come here for help after they screw up their phone when coming here before they might see the half dozen or so existing threads that might warn them off of this terrible move.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Isnt there a thread dedicated to telling people NOT to do this since so many threads of this nature have come about lately?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSkylla:
As others said, but in less harsh words, you're probably buggered. Now ElPants21, what happens when you connect the device to your computer? Do you have any indication of the USB being read in the device manager? Does the phone still turn on?

I can try to give you a hail mary, but I have my doubts.

Download the mobile ODIN apk as well as a stock D710 tar file. Take out your SD card, load the apk and the stock tar onto your SD card from your computer. I want you to physically take the card out since you can't load it from within the phone.

Try to install the apk and flash but my intuition tells me it's gonna FC before you can even install or open it but since it's already almost FUBAR, you really don't have much to lose. If you can flash a ROM without the unstable ICS crashing, you might just be able to recover it but you're working on astronomical odds here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
When this occurs are we not able to get into fastboot anymore? I haven't flashed ICS to my phone - I know better. I'm just thinking of some older methods to try and restore his phone. Coming from an HTC phone things may be a little different here but can we not go into fastboot and tell it to flash an image? Something like "fastboot flash xxxxxx.img" (been a while so I'm sure there was a bit more to type). Being s-off from the factory we don't need anything signed. Then again I don't remember what all we could flash from fastboot aside from a radio (modem) but I think you can flash a recovery.img.

Just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
There is no easy fix for this. I have tried to help out a few but nothing works. The only route to go besides taking it to a sprint store is jtag service. Just search google, sofar only one place does it. It will set ya back 50$ but they can fix it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but nothing works for this mistake.

Main prob with mobile Odin you have ro be rooted. And thats not possible from this sate. IE worng file version. I have tried to reroot a phone in this condition it just does not work.

Not that we are rude. It's that plp need to read and read and read some more. I'm sure tomm there will be another thread about this same thing. It's getting kinda comical.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icebluemale30:
FYI i did the same thing and trust there is only two options

1: try to do an insurance claim with sprint or Asurion

2: pay 50 bucks to the JTAG guys to reinstall os to the system

you have to google it i dont know how to do this as i did the first option.

good luck

Hey man I think I have a solution to your problem! Go on amazon.com and order one of those JIG's. You turn off the phone and put this jig into your usb slot and it will boot you into odin mode.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Wont get him very far as in all the other cases we have seen. You can put it in Download mode and not get the pc to recognize it which as you will read in this thread there are solutions to as well but so far no ones actually fixed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] punwik:
Well ****!!!

I tried!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Its still worth trying lol but at this point been so many cases of the international ICS rom bricks not being fixable.

Still a good thing to own as well, it normally would be of use. Problem seems to be the bootloader gets replaced with the i9100 one and then the PC wont pick it up anymore. Some people suggest using the i9100 usb drivers which are of mixed luck. But in the end it fails.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] punwik:
does the US versions have as bad of luck?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Many people have done this. Look through the previous threads. Someone said there is a guy who reflashes for 30-50 bucks who can fix it. The thread was in the q&a or general. If I find it I will post it but your search button is as good as mine. Sorry.

Jtag is what is used to unbrick. Google search MobilTechVideos.com. They have the only service as of right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] therink:
I did the exact thing the other night. I knew I was screwed. I called my Sprint rep and told him I bricked my phone. I only had the phone for one week. Once he finished laughing he told me to bring in the phone. He ended up swapping me with a new phone, no questions asked. It helps that I have a corporate account there. I thought I was going to be out $600. How lucky am I? I guess you never know unless you ask. Good luck.

The funny thing is that I wasn't home 10 minutes and had the new phone rooted. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bscotth:
Hello all,

The skyrocket is at Best Buy for 199.99

http://m.bestbuy.com/m/b/product/de...b=&st=skyrocket&scr=search&cp=1&sc=Global&id=

So this means the Skyrocket costs as much as the non-LTE Galaxy S II. Now my question is,do you think it would be a good idea to swap my Galaxy S II for the skyrocket while still within the 30 day return period? Would the LTE and faster processor be better "future proofing"?

Your thoughts are much appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] May82:
Check the At&t store if you have one in your area. I went to best buy a couple weeks ago and it was $249. The At&t store was selling them for $149.

The i727 does have a faster clocked processor but the s2 you have actually SLIGHTLY outperforms the skyrocket. Not at all noticeable in my opinion. The LTE speeds are awesome though and if your area has any plans of implementing an LTE network I would switch.

Plus bigger screen :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tk123456789:
Skyrocket has no physical home button like the regular S2 does. It has better battery performance and faster potential data speeds. Definitely get the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GalaxySkyrocket500:
Here is my opinion.. The SR is a better phone if you don't plan on playing games on it all day or doing the "look at my really cool high bench score"

The proc in the og2 is slightly better with games .. graphics.. etc stuff like that.

Now with that being said..In the real world.. Most of us use our phones for work, talking, texting , browsing the web..etc.. the SR is perfect for this....with a few tweaks the sr is better than the og2 ...plus the LTE is nice..

Don't get stuck in the past...

I would get the SR.. all the ATT&T stores here in Houston have them at $149 with 2 year contract......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
For me, i727 and i777 are dead even when it comes to pros and cons of one over the other.

i727 (AT&T Galaxy SII Skyrocket) - Internet outside is as fast as home internet. But it is not available everywhere, including your city that has LTE. Screen is bigger, but less battery life.

i777 (AT&T Galaxy SII) - Performance of everything, watching videos, 3D games, UI, compatibility of apps in the market, blows away the i727. Screen is smaller, but more battery life.

I love my Skyrocket, but I'm already wishing for an upgrade in the future. If the i777 had LTE, it would be the perfect device. But because of some licensing rights that Qualcomm has with LTE in the US, it seems at this point that all LTE devices will be crippled with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (like the AT&T Galaxy Note LTE). It is like they Qualcomm opened up a new freeway system. But to drive on it, you have to buy a car with a Qualcomm engine inside of it. But the Qualcomm engine can only do 45 mph. As for right now, all the negatives balance out the positives. And you are left yearning and screaming "WHY??!!??!! Why must you do this to me Qualcomm!?!?" And all the while Qualcomm is advertising their processor as the latest and greatest processor and you just want to throw up in your mouth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
There's been a lot of debate on this, and good arguments on each side. I love my Skyrocket, sometimes wish I had an og SGS2 for all the development support available, but the SR is still new and we will eventually get there.

The best argument for me was that LTE is the future, so the Skyrocket will have a much higher re-sale value in a year or a year and a half when you're ready to upgrade to the next greatest thing.

I never thought about re-sale value until I was able to sell my well-used Captivate for $150 last month--which was the price I paid for it a year before. Just something to think about...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
The Skyrocket's Adreno 220 GPU outperforms the Mali-400 MP4 in the standard Galaxy S II, though. The Galaxy S II seems to handle multimedia stuff better, but for fill-rate intensive gaming, the Skyrocket has the edge.

Performance can be a complicated question sometimes.
