I agree with you. But here is something i don't understand last when i played around with Galaxy Nexus(Verizon Version) i found Lags here and there. I was really surprised to see the lags. When i upgraded from Froyo to Gingerbread(Beta)on my Captivate i remember it was very smooth. This lag could be mostly due to the hardware acceleration being enabled i believe.

I don't know how good this hardware acceleration is going to do the phone performance. I agree my knowledge on these aspects is not so deep all i see is a Laggy(a bit) Galaxy Nexus and i don't understand why and what's a point with ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
To my understanding, nexus and ics was rushed by Google to push it in time for Christmas. They even had that volume bug. So, I'm not sure if the current version of nexus is the final version or of they are trying to optimize it and throw 4.1 or something (eventually?). I have to compliment Apple's os team for solid releases, but then again, there was the death grip update to mask the signal bar, so, everyone isn't perfect?

On the side note, i discovered a desktop clock mode in the clock app if no one found it yet. See attached.

The one thing I like is

You can disable samsung hubs in the application management under settings which I never use

also if anyone getting force closes and stuff just clear cache ( volume up + Menu + power) it helped me when my contacts weren't showing.

I use Nova launcher instead of touchwiz so get that ICS look :D

The only thing I hated was my contacts got filled with google + contacts which I didn't like, but the work around was sign on to the google + app and uncheck the contact sync there.
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
I've installed KPA (stock) twice (pda, model, csc), and the first time around rooted with CF-root

On both occasions I was impressed with generally how stable the rom was, but I hit a nasty. The "browser" process would constantly spin CUP -- perhaps occasionally stop for a few seconds & resume. This led to the phone getting warm & of course resulted in terrible battery drain.

So far I've tried

- disabling plugins

- clearing browser cache

- switching off predictive searches and similar additional functionality

- tried with/without wifi & ensured connection validation is disabled

- "froze" the browser with titanium backup - THIS WORKED in reducing CPU

With no stock browser. I first deleted the browser data,then tried to "unfreeze" the browser but regardless of titanium backup settings (direct, indirect etc), or use of adb shell to run "pm enable <x>" or direct editing of packages.xml & could not get it back. I even tried removing/uninstalling and readding the apks

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour from the browser?

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yep, it was very much there in GB.

That feature always seems to me as a gimmick.

There was no problem with stock browser for me.

You're right about CSC.

You're welcome.

If you've read my post then this is very much stable in comparison to previous releases, but don't expect stability like Final version.

Thanks for your feedback.

Its indeed a very usable ROM, yes some features are lacking, but all the major features do work, which is a BIG plus point. As I said if someone could use a ROM which has no video recording and stuffs, then this is a definite treat.

Doesn't matter if anyone hates this ROM as it is very very good and more stable than anything out there. So gotta say Samsung is making a great progress there, 2.5 months still to go, we are definitely getting something good.

[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
Ok

After a days use here's my story...

Couldn't get my APN GIFFGAFF UK to work - It was like it would work brilliantly and then after a few minutes if I go to browse again it would kind stall although it was showing data passing through had to restart phone to get it to connect again.

Battery drain is pretty heavy got just around 8 hours with light usage ( yeah its still beta so better things to come surely)

Laggy here and there

I so much wanted to use to as a daily rom as its quiet stable, I could live with the lag and battery drain but the Internet connection problems were a pain as I use FB, twitter, mails etc and need the proper continuous internet which for some reason just didn't seem to work so until the next time have to go back to my favourite KL1 gingerbread
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
You guys with battery drain... Did you check CPU load/top processes?

When I had kpa on here, isle CPU was excellent.I would have got easily more than a day, but intermittently the browser would kick in, phone would get warm, and battery would plunge.after a bit it would stop..

I was heading towards a 7 hr or so battery life at a guess, but the biggie was def the browser

[Galaxy S II General] Craig5365:
ROM very stable but not moving to HSPA+ radio

Have been using this ROM on a test S2 handset and it seems Samsung are definitely moving in the right direction with this build. There are few small snags and the odd bit of lag here and there.

The main issue I've seen is with the modem. The unit will move to HSDPA from 3G however won't enable an HSPA+ connection. This is not a massive issue, but does cause connections to be limited to max of 7Mbps not 21Mbps.

That being said, I have only used this on Three UK, so it could be working on other networks.

Anyone else seen this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] Craig5365:
With no apps installed and just running Google sync I've seen around 24 hours on this build. That being said, I've purposely not installed apps to see what the drain is. It sleeps a lot better than 2.3.x, but wifi does cause more awake than it should.
[HTC Wildfire S] tayhall:
So new release on HTVDEV to support Wildfire S. I downloaded PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216 and ran. The software finds my phone, reboots but fails to update the HBOOT.

It finds image version 1.34.110.3 and offers to update to 2.17.0.0

The update process starts and reboots into bootloader but then returns

ERROR [190]: ROM IS NOT UPDATED

Your ROM version is not the latest version. Please upgrade to 2.14.110.1 to apply this RUU to be able to unload your bootloader

I need to update my phone first. Check for the new on the phone.

On your phone go to Menu > Settings > Software version > Check now.

I have tried this and it tells me everything is up to date.

My phone is running 2.3.3 Android, HTC Sense 2.1

Any ideas or have I mis-understood the HTC unlock process?

Nope, you need to update your phone, to 2.3.5 .

Guess you operator didn't released it jet, but you can find in wildfire S general topic that helps you upgrade you phone before your carrier can offer you and its totally legit update from HTC.

Name of the topic is [TUTORIAL][S-ON][GSM][HOWTO] Upgrade to 2.3.5

Its just the question of which WFS you have, is it branded or not, from where are you and such.

Hope I help a bit.

And say thank to the guys that made it possible ;)

I havent managed to test using the goldcard method as my SD card doesnt seem to like it. It tells me I need to format the card. Hey ho.

I'll give gogy the thanks as I think he's right.

Hi, Im making a theme for adw launcher, and im making icons for all my apps to match the theme.

I followed this guide to make themes and everything went good until I got some erros compiling the apk in eclipse... but thats another question for another time.

In the time being, I edited a current theme, adding my icons, and resigning the apk just to test it, but the thing is, there are, until now, 2 icons which dont change at all.

I followed the guide and retrieved the names correctly, one of those apps its on the droid icon database and even with that name, the icon dont change.

Anyone with experience with ADW and the tools, could help me to determine the correct names for the apps?

The apps are these two:

Perfect Viewer

osu!droid

Thanks in advance.

BTW im using a rom based in 2.3.6, maybe the names change between version.

can some one tell me if this can fix my slow internet.

I get the 3g icon but my internet is slow and has been

since i put it on boost.I have tried everthing i know but

can not seem to fix it. and if i do this will it mess up my srink\plan

this is what i found in one of the thread and want to try this.

he HA/AAA's appear to be generated based on the ESN/MEID and MDN combination. When running across this issue, here are the steps I take to resolve it:

1. Turn off both the donor and flashed phones.

2. Go online to your Boost account and go through the Update handset process using a third Boost Mobile MEID (I have one you can use for the switch...PM me

3. After a few minutes, go back in and do another Update handset, this time using the MEID that came off the donor. Be sure to leave your donor phone off!!!

That's it! This has always worked for me. Sometimes it takes awhile for the phone to provision. You may get an error message that says that the number isn't in service...just hang in there!!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
Hi,

Is anyone elses Prime have problems with creeky, lifting glass either to the right of the charger slot or the area with the volume adjuster? I don't want to send it to Asus to have it "Repaired" just for having creeky glass but I'm tempted (I can't send it back to Gamestop as I live in the UK). Do you think blasting it with a heat gun/Hair Dryer and pushing down on it will fix it?

Thanks, and nice forum :).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gregnetz18:
ya I also have it next to the volume thing and near my camera I don't know if I should return it or send it to get repaired.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dmaple5495:
Not so far... Mine has no problems at all.

Was it this way when you received it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tc8z:
Just noticed this yesterday to the right of the Volume control on mine. This is my second Prime as the first one had a faulty MicroSD slot but no other defects. I wonder if I can take it back to Gamestop (again) or will I have to deal with ASUS directly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
It wasn't anywhere near as bad, at least not to the right of the charger slot. It is about a 2" by 1.5" rectangle that goes down by about 1 or 2mm when pushed down on it. I said if it gets any worse I'll send it to ASUS but I don't want to spend up to weeks without it because of this.

Do you reckon attempting to heat the adhesive with a hair dryer could cause damage to the screen/glass?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BrianMigs:
I have it too!

Just wanted to let you know that I also have the same issue. I noticed it first by the 2 inch section of bezel to the right of the dock arrow, and just noticed it by the volume keys after you pointed it out to me. I have pondered exchanging it with Best Buys, but I wondered if this was unreasonable. Any fixes or suggestions anybody? Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kassar:
I noticed it to the right of my charger port a week or so ago.

Makes a light creak noise when pushing on it. Not an area I really touch, but annoying all the same. Living in Australia, not going to RMA (yet at least), and can't send it back to B&H anyway.

Havn't noticed it get any worse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BrianMigs:
How long would an RMA from Asus take? I would prefer to do an in-store exchange, but none of the Best Buys around me have Primes in stock. Also, what store is B&H? It doesn't sound familiar.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
I thought it was only me having the problem to the right of the charger port. In this case it's probably a widespread issue that's due to there being no support underneath the glass.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] busfullofBEARS:
I've go this problem too. Mine is right above the speaker and, to a lesser extent, above the volume rocker. The one above the speaker seems to be getting worse, probably because I can't stop myself from repeatedly pressing on the f***ing thing...

I also have some light bleed at the top of my screen, so what I'm going to do is wait until near the last day of Best Buy's extended Holiday return period (1/24) then go swap it out in-store. Hopefully by then they will have stock so I won't have to be tablet-less for any length of time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
Mine has light bleed down the right side of the screen, and the ride side of the tablet appears to be slightly raised. I can literally push the glass flush against the underbody. So yes, I have the same problem.

It is weird, it just feels a bit loose on the right hand side.

One thing I did notice is that it appears the Touch Glass is attached to the Back Panel with a rubbery adhesive or a rubber "filter" type thing. It almost reminds me of a gasket or something. So maybe it was actually designed to have some give since you will always be touching and pressing on the glass. However, I would expect that rubbery adhesive was intended to let the screen move a little in as you push it, but not somewhat push the screen away from the Back Panel.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BrianMigs:
Is anybody willing to try heating up the screen a little bit with a hair dryer and then pressing the screen down until it dries/cures again?

I know when Anandtech.com described their teardown of the Prime, they used this method (hair-dryer/heat-gun) to get the screen off. He said he was able to put everything back together after he took it apart (I'm sure he has lots of experience though). Maybe this could actually be a really simple solution?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pecata:
Having the same issue here guys. Just noticed it last night-I bought mine from Office Depot and I went and exchanged it right away. I opened my new one and it has the same issue. From what I am reading here it looks like it's a wide-spread issue and almost everyone has it.

I was wondering the same thing-how can I glue it to the back panel so it doesn't move. Mine has it above the speaker and a little bit on the other side where the volume keys are.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pecata:
There is abthred in the general section on disassembling the Prime and they say not to heat up the unit since the screen isn't glued in it is dual tape of some sort. I am having the same issue and already exchanged mine-have the issue on the new unit too. Not sure if I should try to exchange it again...no fix yet, that I am aware of at least:(

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
I just completed my first build last night. Charging right now so I can flash it.

I didn't find anything Atrix specific, so I clobbered together 3 or 4 different guides and kind of winged it. I was thinking of putting together a general how-to, but wanted to get a few builds under my belt first.

First step will be setting up your build environment. I ended up on Ubuntu 10.10 per samcripp's recommendation. Once you have that done, PM me and I'll see what, if anything, I can help you with.

*Edit* And I'm the proud new owner of my very own kanged CM7 build. :cool: And on a 32-bit machine no less. Only took 14 hours to build...So let me know if you need help.

i'll try to google some guide, if i face any problem, i'll pm you.. :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
This will get you started:

http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

And here are the udev rules for Atrix:

# adb protocol on olympus (Atrix)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", ATTR{idProduct}=="7090", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username."
# fastboot protocol on olympus (Atrix)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", ATTR{idProduct}=="708c", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"

After that, you'll just need to get the CyanogenMod source and the Atrix-Dev-Team's patches. This is where you'll need to do a little leg work, but it's just a matter of using some other guides and substituting in our device specific files as needed. I'll try and post some links that I used when I get home from work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgray:
Has there been anything developed that can be applied to the stock ROM (rooted) to enable the AOSP tether, overriding Verizon's tether?

If not, why?

Is it a kernel issue? Can it be done on a stock ROM at all? Etc...

If you believe it to be possible, can you guide me toward information so that I can dive into this rabbit hole? I have background in development, though I've never touched Android, the OS, or the kernel, so I'm looking for a good place to get started.

I understand that I can just install a custom ROM, but that is not the answer to the puzzle I'm trying to solve.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgray:
This is not AOSP tether. I have considered poking around in its source though.

As I remember it, my OG Droid needed a kernel modification to run android-wifi-tether where the Nexus doesn't. Figure it might be tapping into something existing.

As I said before, never played around with any of the dev stuff on Android, so feel free to correct my way out left speculation with fact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Geezer Squid:
Confused - if it works, why does that matter? Just curious. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgray:
I see that devs have it worked out in their ROMS, so I wondered if it was available as a patch in the same way that battery percentage patches have been in the past.

The Android-Wifi-Tether is a good piece of software, but I figure that whatever is built into the OS is probably WAY more stable. I've always had problems with the software for one reason or another and I'm currently having stability issues on the Nexus.

I'm also interested to be able to learn more about how tethering operates on the backend because I'm currently having issues with my tethering speed.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436598

I could possibly avoid the speed issue by installing another ROM or trying to wipe and see if that fixes it, but that would not actually SOLVE the problem. I want to know why.

Note, should my speed issue go away I would still be interested in getting AOSP tether running.

TLDR; I'm curious too. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:

it can't be blocked by verizon, and it's made by the creator of clockwork mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgray:
I did try Tether in an attempt to determine if android-wifi-tether was the culprit of my speed problems and I had the same slow results. Aside from that, my interest is in getting the AOSP tether into a patch. I'm setting up to poke around inside the source code now.

Wish me luck!
