Feels like it anyway. Ns was released when? Mid-late December and we're now in February. Point is, sprint and google have pissed off a lot of us 4G owners.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Us flashaholics, the onlyones that probably know ICS even exists, have had ice for months now, so ota is not really an issue. Unless ofcourse you don't wanna root... But we have a fair share of 'stock' ICS roms if your not into mods.

Follow the leader @corythug ;)

Love the new modern
[Nexus S General] spikey68:
Its news about the development of a new build for the os for a Nexus. If there had been a sweets section I'd have posted it there.

I do not believe I have ever known a bunch of people moan so much over something so trivial. Is this forum full of kids?
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Not kids, making sure people don't download the wrong crap and brick their device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrKickstand:
Ive have this rom ive been working on for the sidekick 4g, it a KJ2, this is the error i keep getting and cant get past it.

"installing: /sdcard/B2TB.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/B2TB

(bad)

Installation aborted"

any ideas on whats wrong and how to fix it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gene Poole:
How did you create the ROM? It could be aborting for any number of reasons: corrupt zip, missing update.binary/updater-script (assuming edify), etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PunkOz:
Have you ever noticed the blueish tint on galaxy s2 super amoled plus screen? well my question is, does GN have this problem with Super amoled HD? it looks blueish like SGS2? Thanks~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramanan27:
yes that blueish tint is really obvious. fortunately the GN does not have the same screen and it does not have the same problem. it looks more natural than the galaxy S2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
The SGS II screen looks ridiculous compared to the Nexus's screen. Side by side the SGS looks over saturated, the Nexus is a lot more neutral.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PunkOz:
I thought it was present in all the devices using Super amoled! the other day i compared my screen to my friend's iPhone 4S n the colors on the iPhone looked rly nice, I can't buy a Galaxy Nexus since it isn't available in my country but if this blueish tint was fixed in Galaxy Nexus i guess it'll be fixed in SGS3 so im gonna buy one c: shouldn't take long till it get released. Thanks for the fast replies!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leoni1980:
I suspect it's more to do with Samsung's preferences than any screen fault. Nexus S has much more naturalistic colours than the Galaxy S yet they're the same screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrianE46:
The screen tint can be changed with the kernel. Colours look perfect to me on my sgn, but in apps with grey backround a VERY slight yellowish (more accuretly "warm") tint is noticeable. With franco's kernel i get a "colder" hue (very very slight blue) that to my eyes looks alot better. Again this is only noticeable in apps like tapatalk or system menu. And the tints are much slighter the simply blue or yellow, hence the terms cold and warm.

My point is even if you don't like the tint you can change it, or, using franco's app even tweak the rgb settings to your exact liking.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] micks_address:
Hi folks,

Noticed some slowdown with with Xperia Ray when i've a few things going on, like maybe listening to poweramp, and browsing the web, skype open and if i press the home button, the screen takes a couple of seconds to redraw. I have a few things running, im using Widget locker for my lockscreen, and fancy widgets to give me something like the HTC Sense homescreen with time/weather info..

Is there anything bar removing these widgets/apps i can do to increase performance? i've moved any apps i can that are installed to main memory to the SD card

Cheers,

Mick

[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
Hey guys,

I have a motorola razr(indian) and i am thinking of rooting it. But i aready updated it so...i need to downgrade it according to this but using europe fastboot files.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457622

but then he tells me to flash asia rom again...what happens if i dont and stay on the europe rom..will the root process be any different? And whats the difference b/w eu rom and asia rom? are there any advantages of eu rom like getting updates faster? will i have any difficulty in the future if i flash the eu rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
My original ROM was from Asia, but I went ahead and flashed EU versions. Found that it's smoother than the Asia versions. Anyway, to answer your question, the rooting process for Gingerbread remains the same.

It's just that if you choose to stay with the EU roms, and you choose to apply the OTA updates, the bootloader will change, i.e. you can't use RSD Lite to fastboot. You'll have to use another tool, Fla****. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453660
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
Thanks for the Promp reply, if u dont mind i have another question, i was planning to install arctic 3.0.0 after i shift to eu roms. Can u tell me the advantages of arctic over the stock? and whether it is possible to flash it on my razr?

Thank you so much :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Yeah it's possible. I flashed both Arctic and FTS.

Pros of Arctic:

- It's a little bit faster than stock ROM

- It's deodexed, which means you have greater freedom when it comes to flashing themes and mods and stuff.

- There's a bunch of optimizations, which the full list is in the page itself.

Cons of Arctic:

- It's quite unstable, as the calender.apk will FC every few minutes.

- I prefer the stock theme to the one used there, but that's just me. But you can use the theme uninstaller.

For me, I'm using FTS V2.4 now. But the stock 167.73.20 ROM is really good enough for normal use. Although like I said, the bootloader will change, so RSD Lite is useless.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
And one last question..what are the advantages of having cwm on boot for the razr? i mean if i have to install a new rom i will have to install cwm on boot yet again right..will it be helpful if a theme goes wrong or something like that and puts me in a bootloop? And thx for ur advice on FTS...seems pretty good it seems to have lesser bugs than arctic so..i might as well go for it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
That's true. But having CWM on boot is kinda like a safety net. In case something goes wrong with flashing a new rom. It's better to spend that little bit of time setting it up, rather than regretting not having it.

And FTS has a few bugs also. However, it depends on what you want with your ROM. If you want something stable and speedy, 167.73.20 stock is good enough. Used it for a couple of days, and seems rather awesome.

At the moment, custom ROMs aren't that great compared to stock ROMs. Maybe if the BL is unlocked, and we get to change kernels, it'll be a lot better. But for now, just stick to stock ROMs. Unless you really like the themes from this ROM, or whatever.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
hmm, but then cant u just theme the stock rom? and the bugs in FTS are quite less compared to all the features it offers so..:p 1 or 2 here and there wont matter i guess.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Well it is possible, but you'll probably need an external launcher, like go launcher or launcher pro. But that's just appearances only. If you wanna change things like the status bar or battery indicator, your ROM has to be deodexed.

Haha. Like I said, it's up to you. Go experiment around! For me, I actually prefer stock. But who knows? You might prefer something else.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
i just tried to install cwm on boot after keeping my root and updating to 651.73.30.xt910.en.eu and it said everything install successfully but..when i power up my phone it just boots normally without going into cwm recovery..it boots normally!! And surely put the bootstrap app as deny in superuser..plz help:(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Try restarting a couple of times. That might help. If not, re-install it again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
tried restarting couple of times..but no effect and if i have to re install..do i have to first undo whatever i did or just do the whole process over it? and one more thing..how do i use fla****? do i just put the rom files in its folder or the fla**** files in the rom folder?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Just install the zip again. And you extract both the ROM and Fla****, then put the files in the same folder. Run FlashME.bat.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
Great! Thanks a lot for your help! :) i really appreciated it! FTS runs real smooth and i like it. the only problem is that everytime i boot something called motorola services crases-com.motorola.service if u have any idea can u tell me what app this is relating to.. so that i can either delete it or not use it. Anyway if u dont, then forget it. Thx again for all ur help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
No prob. Feel free to hit the thanks button. Haha. Anyway that's an existing bug with FTS. Just ignore it. It shouldn't re-occur after FC a couple of times. It's annoying, but only if you keep rebooting your Razr. Other than that, it's quite stable for daily use.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
haha thanked every post of yours lol :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
hey and when u have the time can u compare the 2 roms fts and arctic..? pros cons of both and what feature that one of it has over the other? thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Like I said, you should go experiment around. Different people want different things from their ROMs. Although one major disadvantage of FTS now is that the dev gave up on it cause of Moto.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
yea...fts was nice the only thing that annoyed me about that was the com.motorola.service FC's...now im planning to move to arctic..so to go back to arctic i first have to use my nandroid back up to go to stock rooted rom and then to arctic am i write?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
But the FC for FTS doesn't occur regularly, just the first couple of minutes after you boot up your phone. Unless you regularly turn it on and off, it shouldn't be a major problem.

Actually, I think you can try flashing Arctic straight. After doing a full wipe. But I'm not too sure about that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
so if i do a full wipe of cache and factory reset i can directly go to arctic? if anything goes wrong ill still have cwm right so..i can go back to stock?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
If I'm not mistaken, doing a factory wipe removes CWM on boot. But I'm not too sure about that also. If you have time, you can give it a try. Just do a nandroid backup, then factory reset. If CWM on boot does get removed, you can easily re-install it again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
hey i think i got a problem...i wanted to go back to stock rom first so...i deleted factory reset and wipe and tried to do a nandroid restore..but it failed...so i tried to reboot the system but..then it started working normally then i removed my root...so that i could flash 651.73.17 from 651.73.30 is this ok..? will i have any problems? i just want to have a clean system. then ill again update to 651.73.30

and since i unrooted i dont think i will have cmw on boot anymore will i?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
CMW did not get wiped as i had a nandroid backup of my stock rom before FTS and it was rooted and had cmw on boot so..i guess when i restored it got restored too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
im so scared to even turn my phone off lol..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
By doing a nandroid restore, you mean you got "error while restoring /system"? If so, it's just a bug with CWM. The system files will still be restored. It was discussed here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1475008

Just update the OTA using Moto's recovery, then use OTA rootkeeper to keep your root.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
oh thank god! i thought i really screwed up my phone now..u see im new to android and this is my first android phone..im used to ios which is so much simpler and it is unbrickable so..u know i had the confidence to do anything i want but android is so much more complicated..i think ima just stay on stock rom for a while until i understand android a little more...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
and one more thing why is it that everytime i flash the older fastboot without any updates it says e:cant mount cache/recovery

and like that it says a bunch of other stuff cant mount cache/recovery/caller_log etc....i mean after i flash using fla**** and i am sure i removed the root...the moto boot logo comes and then stays for a while and an android with exclamation mark comes up and i have to use vol up and down to go to recovery and reboot...from then on it works normal but idk why it says cant mount cache plz advice
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Not sure about that issue. I have it too, but it hasn't caused any problems for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaitanya2014:
hey thx for all the help but one last thing ...i flashed to the stock 651.73.17 then rooted then used ota rootkeep to back up the root unrooted...then through recovery flashed the 651.73.30 update but then now my phone wont turn on..ok nvm...i fixed it..now if i want to update to android 2.3.6(from 651.73.30 to 651.150.1) can i just use ota rootkeeper on 651.73.30 and then update and restore root on 651.150.1? or do i have to go to 651.73.17 again and userootkeeper then update to 651.150.1?

I just repackaged Raver's latest valhalla black as a heimdall oneclick file. Should automatically convert your /system partition ext4 too!

If you want to test this out for me I'd be grateful. I already flashed it myself and it worked out fine. This should help whoever is having issues (most likely caused by not formatting their partitions before the flash)

TESTING DONE. Download link gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alon2:
I'll try it later on,

but just a quick question though:

in the:"About the ROM" section it is listed as:

"Official KJ6 With bhudven's Kernel

Gingerbread 2.3.6"(which I guess comes from the firmware.xml file) - is that on purpose?

isn't it suppose to be Valhalla Black or something

Again 10x

Alon
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Oh yes, that's not on purpose, I left it in the firmware.xml file and forgot to edit it, but I did place the correct (valhalla black) files into the oneclick.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
I'll give it a go this morning.

As soon as I update my TB backups and run a nand.

I'm not having any issues at the moment, well, none related to the phone/rom anyway... so not sure I'm a good test subject...

Did you add the gps fix in? or does it need flashed after?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Well it's just a repackaged version of 3.2, so it should work exactly the same, just need to make sure it installs correctly on other people's phones.

Nope, no gps fix in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Downloading now; will let you know as soon as I'm done.

-- Update #2 --

When it booted and it came up to the Google setup, I had no data connection. I had to set up wi-fi to get through the process. Seems the APN was missing.

-- Update #3 --

/system is mounted rfs, not ext4.

Maybe I did something goofy to make all of that happen? I've never had my APN disappear before.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Hmm odd. Well thanks for testing I'll take down the link since Raver posted the latest version now. I'll probably look into this again once he releases a final.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
No problem... I ended up jumping through a few hoops and just flashed rc3.3.

Was going to make sure it was good and then rerun the one-click...

This is the first one-click I have had any issues with, didn't get a chance to log any of it though... I'm at the office, so limited on what I can get my hands on directly...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I kinda threw it together. I dumped the /system partition and threw that in with the rest of the KJ6 stock Odin files into a Heimdall package. Technically it should work even though the partition itself was dumped as ext4 not the traditional rfs that is used in Odin packages.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Weirdness. I appreciate your continuing efforts into making things easier to do and manage with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
why didn't you factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, and dump all of it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
There's no need to dump /cache or /data since they get formatted when you do a factory reset anyway. It's only the /system partition that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Exactly my point. couldn't you use the "empty image". I have extracted the stock images for data and cache and both contain files. I would think that with all the tw dependencies that raver has removed it is somehow interfering.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'll keep that in mind when I make the next one. Gonna wait until a stable version is out. Very possible to make it happen though since we could just fill up the partitions with a huge file from /dev/zero just to zero out the blocks and make the images compress well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
I have a personal backup that I made and I converted to rfs before the dump. If I use it and my system was rfs it auto converts to ext4 on first boot. I think it is because the kernel is set to ext4 by default. Something else to keep in mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
There's a a directory /sdcard/Voodoo/ that has files that tells the kernel to convert.

[back on topic]

I'm not familiar with the development aspect of modems but just an observation--If the modem is developed for another device then, to me, common sense says it wasnt designed to be used on our phones which is why some things work and others dont. Maybe the signal is different in the US versus International, which is why the voice doesnt work. Who knows...but the bottom line is that we'll need to use the i777 modems.

out of curiosity, why would you want to use the int'l modems, anyway? What benefit do they give you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omac_ranger:

This comment is as unproductive as any other. Way to take the high road.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I'd disagree. It encourages other people to report posts more and refrain from posting the same "why'd you post here" comments over and over.

If everyone decides to comment on it instead of reporting, it just takes that much longer for it to appear in the correct subforum. And of course, the inevitable flaming continues and the thread ultimately ends up closed.
