It's the result of neither dev nor pedestrian being older than 16 (or so their posts will lead you to believe). Everyone should've seen this coming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It says its from my Nexus. I was just giving you guys ideas of mods that are starting to come out. Next time I post pics there will be a disclaimer in caps even though it says......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
While I agree that entitled asshats are the bane of XDA, I would point out that the SGSIIE4GT forums are lovely, respectful and appreciative compared to the Evo4G forums that I recently came from. ;)

Have u seen some of the mods that romanbb is doing to galaxy nexus, etc .... Or is it his ROM your running
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wphend00:
IN all fairness, when you review "Vipers" twitter feed... he seems to be more involved in other projects, even from the beginning, than he was with ICS on the ET4G...

There will always be whining and mumblings and grumblings from "the fanbase". Just ask any headcoach out there of any team. But when a release is made, you get lots of atta-boys and pats on the back. And with the donation button, and with websites like Android Central and Engadget, you get notoriety and publicity... and take it a step furthur... some Dev's eventually get jobs with big time companies like Sony and Apple.

As of now, there are so few builds of ICS... but because of the stick-tuitiveness of some good fellows... I have a very much WORKINg copy on my HP Touchpad... and it is wonderful...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I think that was the one I was going to try next. One has 8 locks, lots of nice tweaks and such but these mean everything. I am trying an average of 2 new kernels a day and the battery life..well you judge was at 100% when I started.. now at 70%
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Another ICS bug I just found...sometimes not all pics post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
Food for thought:

http://www.phonedog.com/2012/01/23/this-is-how-ice-cream-sandwich-should-be/

Any idea if the up-comming ICS MOD will answer these minor issues.

It seems Taylor Martin had a few experiences on the stock Galaxy Nexus. So I thought it might be good to point out annoyances with ICS that may have to be fixed later. If they aren't already fixed already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
If you are flashing kernels that frequently, you really shouldn't be judging battery life. You cannot judge battery life of a ROM/kernel combo until it has fine through a couple of discharge cycles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
Found another article that wasn't from Sammy but from Sony.... but it gives a good idea of what Sammy is probably going through.

Just a good read that might shed some light about what our DEVs might be going through or went through.

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/w...from-source-code-release-to-software-upgrade/

I really liked how they talked about the following:

"Contrary to what people may think, it is not the Bring up phase, but the Certification and approval phase that is the most time consuming process when it comes to getting a new software release out on our phones. This is one of the major tasks that are legally required from us as phone manufacturer, but is a task that the custom ROM community doesn’t have to take into consideration. Furthermore, by putting all this efforts into testing and certification, we ensure that quality and conformance is at a top level, in benefit for all consumers worldwide."

This kinda show's us why things take so long.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Judgements always after 2 days minimum.. lol. I am not that much of noob...Also, 4g frequently disconnects and at times doesn't reconnect. Honestly, stock kernels seem best on battery and stability but everyone wants Voodoo, BLN, and overclock . Many custom kernels by great devs are causing reboots and green screen flashing but the overclock makes a huge difference
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I figured you knew better, but I was thrown off by your statement about flashing at least two kernels a day :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Which is total BS. How is it that Apple gets it rolled out or Nexus phones? Sounds like BS they voluntarily enter into by putting vendor skins
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
Please delete
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
But you have to understand that a good % of their customer base wants those manufacturer skins (Touchwiz, Sense, etc), so they cannot simply abandon those customers. That's why when they release a phone with a UI on it, they have to be consistent and stay with that UI throughout the releases. There's a lot more to consider than the xda crowd and those that simply want stock Android.... finding a happy middle ground can be challenging.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Finding a happy middle ground is not challenging. Roll out the OTAs with Touchwiz for your everyday consumer, and put a stock AOSP build on your website for the flasher crowd.

Everyone is satisfied.

Not in a big hurry to get ICS when my Unnamed w/gunslinger is screaming fast and working well.. the only thing that DOES seem outta wack is the fact i see ICS on alot of older devices working fine. I havent seen anything on ours yet... I see that AOSP and Peter Alfonso have ported it over to a few devices.... Got me how?

Anyways for the mean time, stick with your GB, not the latest thing out, but seems to work fine, and besides, i think we should skip the ICS and head straight to JELLY BEAN 5.0 :+)

The Epic 4G just got CM9 Alpha teaser video... maybe we are next.

QBKing77 does say he doesn't know our status though. Just nice to know they are working on Sprint phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh the irony. Epic was last to get Miui, CM7, etc and they may see a CM9 before us?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
It did make me chuckle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
So who are the actual Developers on this project?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Better watch where your going with that question.lol.

nevermind... was going to say +1 but it doesn't matter, I can donate later. I will be patient.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
Really though, this phone doesn't have Official CM7 support yet, or fully functional MIUI. Though I am completely happy with them both :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Guys, who gives a **** in the alley. This happens every single time Android puts out a new OS. People wanted cupcake, people now want froyo, people then wanted Gingerbread, now people want ice cream. Be thankful you have an android, and not some gay ass iPhone who can't come close to our developers.

If you are dissatisfied with our ROMs, make one your damn self and quit being lazy. Simple as that. Thread after thread people are acting like hard asses that think everyone needs to develop for them.

Or better yet, buy the newest android that comes out every six months, and hop off the developers nuts.

Jesus run stock rooted and it is still better than any phone. That is all.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
This is to much of a generalization. Just because people constantly post about wanting ICS doesnt mean they think that theyre special and entitled to it. It just means that they (along with myself) want the latest and greatest. While not EVERYONE is a **** about things, there are indeed those who are. But this whole "shut your mouth and wait for it...no talking...dont ask....dont hope...just shut up" is becoming simply asinine. Just because people want the newest version of android and are vocal about it doesnt mean that you should just be happy with what you have or "go get an iphone". I do agree that there needs to be some form of self restraint, but honestly....the real dev(s) who is/are working on this arent even paying attention to all of this. Most of them never read or care about these threads. the logic that the more threads that are posted about development and the more people asking when it will be done "slows down development" is absolute crap. You think every time someone posts about a project those developers get a text message saying "SOMEONES TALKING ABOUT YOUR ROM QUICK GO LOOK AT IT! YOU HAVE TO! OR WELL KILL YOUR DOG!" no. If theyre here browsing threads theyre already "wasting time". This stuff needs to stop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MJHawaii:
Over Rated

I had ICS on my captivate and I thought it was over rated. I am quite happy with the ROM's available on GB or even stock. If we get ICS we get it if not it's not that big a deal to me at least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Good point, only posts I have seen is to accuse the masses of entitlement and other subthreads. I'll just wait for calks ICS ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Actually Epic just got official CM7 support! It is an underrated phone. The screen and camera are better than my NS4G and Epic was a tank. I had it overclocked to 1400/200 on demand and it never failed me. I was actually shocked by that teaser video. If an alpha is that close for Epic, maybe it is time to ask for a progress report for this device. They aren't even using EXT4 on Epic anymore. Its MTD and yaffs2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Man, I upgraded just before it got exciting, lol. I never checked, what file format does this phone use? Rfs still?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
+1 to that brother. we all need just alil patience. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiekan:
Wasn't sure if you're referring to the OG Epic or the Epic Touch. The OG Epic, stock is RFS. Epic Touch is ext4 stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AngelMayLaugh:
Sorry if this is a noobish question, I do not know much about theming and such things.

Would it be possible for someone to change the colors of the ICS theme if they worked on a custom one? I assume that everyone is using stock at the moment for their ICS themes and that's why it's that shade of blue. Pretty curious about it.

Figured I'd ask here since this is ICS discussion. Sorry if it's the wrong place.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] huskers15:
I'm pretty sure you can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
That is what theming is, changing colors, images, etc.....Yes its possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Its the yaffs2 file system, its a totally different system. See more about that here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, there's some serious development going on in the OG Epic now. If you try an MTS ROM, you have to Odin to go back to normal ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Yeah I've noticed that. Kinda feel bad I sold my Epic shortly after getting the E4GT. I totally would've been over there trying out the various roms.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donovan1983:
I'm one of those customers. Normally I hate manufacturer skins or carrier "enhancements" which got me into flashing ROMs when I had the T-Mobile G2 (stock had far too much crapware and was dog slow), but the constant compromises with various ROMs eventually pushed me into trying Windows Phone although I recently came back to Android again. I have to say that Samsung did a great job on the E4GT and their UI actually enhances my experience with the phone. I do want Samsung to release ICS soon but would rather wait for them to release it with TouchWiz 4 than do without it. Simple stuff like the hardware accelerated launcher, the radio toggles in the notification pulldown (yes, I know CM has this), and the camera app make a big difference in how enjoyable the phone is to use for me.

That said, I'm still excited to see the community development for this phone. If there is a CM9 release before Samsung releases ICS (if this actually happens) then that's great. The more choices our phones have, the better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
Rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S3 are just getting confusing. Can not wait for an official spec list. Now they are saying it will have ICS instead of Sammy's whatever OS. (Tizen). The specs look nice. I also think NS4G is a downgrade. Rumor is that it will be on sale in April or June.

As far as the popular Android blogs and legit tech sites go, I only saw FreeYourAndroid report about Tizen supposedly being on the SGS3. I never believed it and the guy who reported that must have had a bad day.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
No, I love my NS4G and the ICS ROMs but the camera and camcorder as well as screen were just better on Epic
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
As long as you are happy with your phone that's all that matters. :)

Plus didn't Samsung say our devices would have ics sometime during the first quarter of the year?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ccline84:
Blazer is blazing on my Epic Touch so I'm happy on that front until we get some ICS love. However, I kept my OG Epic and my sister is currently using it... I'm sure she won't mind being a guinea pig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's the rumor but the Nexus S OTA was pulled temporarily due to high battery consumption by Android OS and Android System but Steve Garon made a kernel that has been performing very well so maybe its just a kernel adjustment needed not something with the ICS build itself. I am not going to lie, since the first built from source ROM dropped, its been my daily on my NS4G. I am just starting to feel ok about battery life but gapps are using more battery as well. Delete Google+ and Maps and see a 15-20% idle use improvement
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I gotta say this: Yeah, ICS in general is awesome and everything, and definitely a solid improvement over Gingerbread: but I just figured something out:

It's not *just* ICS we should all be clamoring for: it's freaking CM9.

Jesus.

I've spent the last two hours with it on a beta build on my Evo 3d, and it is just insane how slick it is....

I've used other ICS Roms before, but they were all vanilla, Google builds....

This is something...... else.

What teamdouche has done with ICS in CM9 is just ridiculously well executed, (you've GOT to see/use it for yourself) and I'm officially holding out for this on the ET4G, because anything else would just not do it for me.

For now, my Evo3d is getting a lot more playing time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
If I'm not mistaken, didn't one of the Devs say the ICS rom they're working on should be released today?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rayprobg:
I heard the same and for that reason my eyes are glued to the screen today if it drops I will be on it like white on rice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] huskers15:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
There is some great development going on with the evo 3d. I haven't tried CM9 yet but I might today. Supposedly someone else is going to release CM9 for it. The person said the dev that's going to release it doesn't like to put out buggy builds.

Sent from my \_3vo_/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Toast?

That would lead me to think that he'd only be releasing it to save face for Teamdouche: it kinda makes them look bad when a kang/working version of CM comes out for a device before they even have one....

Which could end up being a good thing, because he'd probably put everything he has into it to show how much better an "official" version of CyanogenMod is....

Which is great for the users.

Maybe a bootable version of CM9 for the ET4G is exactly what we need, by any developer, to light a fire under the guys at CyanogenMod....

It seems to have worked quickly with the Evo3d, I don't see why it wouldn't work for us as well.

^^That's why I'm thinking CM9 should be the goal that devs should be striving for, not merely ICS.....

What makes CM9 more desirable than stock or aosp? Any specifics you can detail? I have not been fortunate enough to experience it on any of my android devices :(

Hello.

I have a russian DZ(it differs by its builtin keyboard - it looks like this youhtc .ru /wp-content /uploads/ HTC-Desire-Z-Russian-KBD .jpg ) and it now runs a great Virtuous Quattro rom.

So, i have an issue with its keyboard - looks like some keys (for example, for russian "ж" (to the right from spacebar) return a wrong scancode - Keyboardtest.apk tells me that is 0, as like as for ":".

Following manuals on

source.android.com

and

kandroid.org

(they can be found in google by "android .kcm")

i understood that keymaps are stored in /usr/keychars and /usr/keylayout, but i found there a bunch of different config files, and one for vision-rus was like a default one, with minor differences.

Can you help me, which of these files (.kl,.kcm or other) i shall edit to reassign those buttons?

any help is appreciated
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The drivers are the biggest issue in porting ROMs to the Streak. Even if you did get the required hardware and software you almost certainly would have to create drivers from scratch because the company that made the Streak for Dell won't release the source code. Something not nearly as easy as you might think. I believe DJ_Steve has been trying to create ICS for the Streak 5 with little success so far.

First of this is created by Nitroz who then gave Razer(x) permission to port it. I tried to flash and it would fail. Razer(x) tried for a second to help me get it running but was a nogo. And since I am no dev I couldnt make that work so I took the files and put together this Metamorph. It takes out damn near most of the cyan..still some left. It is a work in progress as I keep playing with it and also am trying to make a black and green version. I am not maintaining or anything but I will put up any decent working versions I can manage. I'm puttin them in dropbox, the smaller file you can just run thru metamorph as usual. The larger file includes the morph as well as the apk's it will mod, in case someone needs them. Hopefully Nitroz will support the Atrix..I've ran this on build 4 and 5, shouldnt be any crazy issues.
