Lol this ain't an iPhone where you're given a little sandbox to play in, but not outside of... this is Android, meaning that its not a matter of "what can you do", it's "what do you want to do?"
[Xperia Play General] XperianceIT:
Im just gonna beat the already dead horse here but... You can do anything any Android can do, we just do it in style!... lol I use mine to clean my house, wash my car, make my breakfast, and to save the world from the zombie apocalypse! Oh did i mention, it also makes phone calls! what a trip!

Sorry, that was my attempt at humor. In all seriousness though, I would atleast put the camera mod on it, so you can use the "R" bumper to take pictures, but if your gonna throw a custom ROM on it, most ROMs have that mod included already, then throw the notification toggle mod on. Its really hard to make a list for you, cause it really depends on what your into.

god.. do you even know you bought a phone?

Done that. Some good games that I had forgot About .

Not a bad phone . Makes lovely pancakes too
[Xperia Play General] Magnumutz:
Dude, this is an all-rounder, it's got anything you'd ever want from it.

A LED flash camera (torch), HD video recording, LED notification, nice screen (coming from SGS), stereo speakers, 2 microphones (for better call quality), good battery (if you get the .36 baseband), great music, it's Playstation certified WITH gamepad AND touchpad, GREAT GPS (Glonas stuff, google it) ... and the piece de resistance... it's an Android.

Think of all the possibilities... the sky is the limit!

P.S.: I love this old phone... it might not be the Galaxy Note in terms of performance, but i use it more than i would've used a Galaxy Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
You know when you buy a nice shiny new Nexus, you'd expect to be leading the way in the Android version race...

But what the hell is Google doing with the Galaxy Nexus? Handsets are still at 4.0.1 and 4.0.2... but the Nexus from last year and the Xoom officially have 4.0.3.

Whats up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
That is what the source is for
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There are already other threads on this.

The Nexus S OTA isn't even pushed to everyone. It's on hold right now.

The Xoom's ICS push is only for the WiFi version and only for specific people who signed up for it.

Who says that the GN will even get an OTA 4.0.3 update? They may even wait for 4.0.4 or whatever at this point. Who knows. But theres clearly a reason why they're not releasing it. They're not finished and just holding onto it for no reason...

If you really want it that bad you can install a custom ROM based on 4.0.3, or compile it yourself from source and flash it. Or, just wait for the OTA and chill!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
^this right there^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grydrgn:
Xoom ICS has gone out to the general pop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I'm on XDA multiple times a day and never seen an actual thread on this. Yea we have kangs and AOSP but who doesn't. I bought a Nexus to get Android updates as they come out... I'm running 4.0.3 and it isn't a huge deal that it isn't out officially, but why is it rolling out to everyone else BUT US?

Yea 4.0.3 may be more geared with older devices to bring them up to speed... but obviously it isn't hurting the Nexus's unofficially running the 4.0.3 AOSP roms, so why not just throw it down to us? If the Nexus is the developer phone for Google, then 4.0.3 was developed on a new Nexus. Then why don't we have it yet?

Something just seems strang IMO. Having a Nexus One and following the Nexus S, I haven't seen them update an older device BEFORE the current line. Isn't it a little weird that last years model is running a newer version then we are? Some Nexus's are running on 4.0.1. Whats that about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
Totally.My.Thoughts.

One thing I'm curious about: Why on Earth was OTA for SNS halted?! My SNS with 4.0.3 was fine, IMO :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
If you are going to root and put a rom on your phone why do you honestly care? There are so many threads on this already. No PHONE is being pushed 4.0.3 right now anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
holy hell guys the OTA for the nexus s was halted because they found some bugs during rollout, so they stopped. and they stopped galaxy nexus because of that as well. when they fix the bugs, they will continue the roll out. do you guys think google is doing this on purpose, they want to NOT give our the update to all as some master plan. or the more likely answer, they are fixing serious bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The thread should end on this note
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Do you know how to read version numbers? 4.0.

Small release. If it were something like 4.1, ok, but a small release like this...chill out seriously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
It is out officially.

Build.

It.

Your.

Self.

The difference between a Nexus and every other Android phone is that you can take the LATEST publicly available source code and build a 100% fully functioning ROM with it. No matter how you slice it, you're not going to be able to build a 100% functioning Stock Android build for any other phones. They are hacked together. They are frankenbuilds. Yes other phones have 4.0.3 releases, but none of them are 100% functional. Not sure if you noticed, but for those phones you'll see a list of "what works" and "what doesnt work". For the Nexus phones, you can just build directly from Google's source and it will just work.

See: Nexus S vs Galaxy S. Although the Nexus S and the Galaxy S are identical in almost every way, the Nexus S has had ICS for months now. And you can build 4.0.3 for the Nexus S and it will Just Work.

The Galaxy S ICS releases otoh are FILLED with "known issues" - feel free to check yourself.

Just because it's not an OTA doesn't mean it's not available. You want a pure AOSP build that will be identical to an OTA that Google would push? Just build it yourself.

They updated the Nexus S 4G a few times before they ever rolled out updates to the mainline Nexus S. There's really no rhyme or reason to when they roll out OTAs. If you care so much about having the latest official build though, again, build it yourself from their source code. What else do you think they do? The OTA for 4.0.3 will/would be built from the same identical 1's and 0's, bits, and bytes, that is already available quite openly in the AOSP tree. It's been available for months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] versd:
i was on 4.0.1 standard with no OTA updates. doesnt matter because the nexus is made to be customised, and be a developer edition device.

i was happy to flash 4.0.3 and a custom kernel. if you arent, then i think that buying a nexus was not the wisest of decisions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
I think people just want a quality official update direct from Google. Not knocking anything the developers do, but they aren't official builds. I'd rather have something I know Google wants out there running on my phone. For all we know, there are issues with 4.0.3 which is why it hasn't been actually placed on the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. Yet, you are so eager to say put it on yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
I would rather wait a little linger for a more stable build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
Could be because of 4g??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
I've been using Androids since the Eris came out. Seriously, 99% of the time the ROMs/kernels put out by the devs here and on other sites are more stable than the official OTAs by the companies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
And I've been using Android since the G1, minus a small timeout on WP7, and custom ROMs always came with quirks left and right, that in their entirety always managed to piss me off in some way. If they don't do stupid **** in the kernel (I especially like the enabling of Linux kernel features just because they sound nice), they mess around with the userland, trying to improve things into breaking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Google tells you how and what to build a completely untouched version of their code. If that bugs ya, and is not official enough for ya, then you are missing the point of this device. The device is officially supported by AOSP for yakju and mysid. If the idea of a source built rom bugs you just because its not on a Google sanctioned buildbox, then thats a shame.

I understand what you are saying about customized builds, but its easy to make a completely stock Google approved experience. Download source, setup vendor, and then make. Then you can use fastboot to flash. No need for clockwork, no need for root. If there is a demand for this, I would be happy to make both maguro and toro builds. I won't even root them and they will be odexed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizrade:
Once i get some time i plan on compiling myself a fully stock ics rom. Cause i can and that is the point of this stupid thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momentarylapseofreason:
More stable than what? I've had 4.0.3 on my phone for awhile now with ZERO issues. For what it's worth, I am running this version here...

Some people are saying if you get a nexus device and don't install a custom rom you are doing it wrong. Well i got a Nexus so i didn't have to put custom roms on and I would be up to date. You can get roms for every device some of which are better then the Nexus the nexus is the pure stock build which is what I wanted

Growing pains

That cover it? The launch has been less than ideal and we are still fairly close to launch. I think they pushed it out the door before ICS was really ready with all the variables mainly due to the handset specs in contract and their ambitious expectations that the code would be ready. It wasn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
While I tend to agree, remember that its not out for the GSM version either. And Samsung has nothing to do with either one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You are up to date--for the Galaxy Nexus. Don't assume because its on aosp, its only for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
LMAO.

Well technically we've only seen 1 update to 4.0.2

Ha, I'm totally calm too. Running a the latest Gummy LTE Rom and custom kernel. I've been round the Nexus block a few times and just discussing my observations from previous experience.

Like previously stated, reality probably has this pegged down to bugs. Obviously the topic is a good one since its on a few minds. The point of the thread was not to complain but rather find answers. What's up with ICS on the nexus?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Building from source isn't a "Custom rom". It's as stock as it gets. You're literally building from the same source code (from google's very own servers) that the manufacturers use as their base (and then modify with their own bloatware).

I'm not sure what's so difficult to comprehend by that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
It's not actually a small release, it is what 4.0 should have been. It incorporates API's and features that were intended for 4.0 but were not ready in time. Google considers 4.0.3 the base version of Ice Cream Sandwich (though it will possibly become 4.0.4 instead due to those reported bugs).

It's just a small version number update due to Google thinking of it as base 4.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momentarylapseofreason:
To all of those complaining....

Go buy an iPhone and you can fight over who got a white one first instead. Take your Paxil or Ritalin and relax. There are several factors that go into releasing a new OS. Google has been smart and has released the source code way ahead of time for devs and to find bugs before releasing to the general public.

There were supposed bugs in 4.0.3 (not that I have personally seen), but this isn't some big conspiracy. I have heard it was battery issues... but again, haven't seen this. You are all arguing against a multi-billion dollar company. If you can do better, then do so. Until then just wait
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Danchoni:
Maybe this is a noob question for some of you but how can I use the "energy" sensation xl rom with clk bootloader? Do I have to flash some additional kernel and if yes then which is recommended? This is the first time I am going to try to flash android rom so please don't be sarcastic!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Taco123:
Yes you can do without additional kernel.

Read at first

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893948

If this is all clear go ahead and read OP and the next few posts from ROM.

If this is also ok, go ahead and flash your Rom with this information.

If you stuck on some point, please let us know :)

But anyway, this Rom has Magldr and CLK by default. So if you are in flashing process, you get some question, what you want. Magldr or CLK.

Have Fun :)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Growling Clover:
PS1 games never really had analogue stick functionality, was always just a nice add on to games. IMO this is why I'm happy to have FPSE on my XPlay as anything that needs analogue stick control is just a pain in the ass. Nipples are no replacement for analog sticks

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
How is game performance and screen quality? If you want, I also have an Xperia X10 if you want to compare.

I mean, sure the screen is smaller so I don't expect 1080p, but still how is it?

Do games also run as fast as they should? As in lag and such, when using the built in player or FPSE.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mael5trom:
depends on the games, 95%+ run fine(fast no lag), especially if overclocked, screen is decent, i'd imagine its pretty much the exact same as the one on the x10, the only difference might be vibrancy i would think, since they sport the same resolution.

If you are actually serious about being able to play games properly on your phone, then buy the play, its honestly that simple, ...you could buy a slider keyboard for emulators, but then what about consoles with shoulder buttons, what about n64 that requires the an analog stick? what about all those fantastic games on the market that support hard keys for the play and not other slider keyboard phones?

the fact is if u want to play any games barely above the casual market, then the play is really the only good choice, for the moment at least.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
As someone said earlier, FPSE doesn't support the touchpad sticks, what about other emulators for other systems, such as the N64.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mael5trom:
i wouldnt have mentioned the n64 analog stick if we couldnt use it, mupen64 is a beta emulator that uses it, its a very effective implementation. absolutely destroys touchscreen.

Hey everyone. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I was looking for a particular WIFI icon for my phone.

I appreciate the offer, i just spent the last hour doing some extensive searching and found out about 7zip. Went in to system ui apk, found the folder with all the icons in it.. dragged it to my desktop, copied the icons you provided that i had saved on my comp. did a copy and replace. dragged the folder back in to 7zip, did a nandroid and flashed the zip. badda bing badda boom!!!! works like a champ. now that i know how to do it, i might go in and edit those png's so that the white boxes change color as the signal strength goes up or down.

im actually running the same rom as you now, flashed it the other day because i got bored with the last one. i'm using the mash up theme preview with it. love this rom!

So I've heard about the serial problems with ICS, but those people still got their OTA update, or else they wouldn't be having that problem. My issue is that I've never recieced an update. If I'm not mistaken, there was an update prior to the 4.0 update, and I didn't receive that either. I tried contacting ASUS tech support, but they haven't responded. So I'm just wondering: is anyone else having this problem? Everywhere I look, it seems that everyone has gotten the update. If location matters in regards to when the update is sent out, I'm in the Las Vegas area.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I don't believe the "no serial number" issue has been resolved for anyone yet. Those folks didn't get ANY OTA updates, let alone ICS OTA. Here's the relevant thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447760

I just checked the ASUS download thing. I have an HTK serial number too, and it only works with WW serial codes or something. We'll just have to wait for them to find a fix. I really want the fixes in ICS, though. My wifi works like it should, but my GPS doesn't (which I'm fine with).
