here is also another useful comparison see the last paragraph "Which phone to buy?"

OK. So you should have enough info to make an informed choice then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshehab:
after a lot of searching and according to my requirements i think 9100 will be suitable for my needs.. Thanks guys for your help..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
Definitely the GT-I9100 !!

If you are interested in modding, playing and getting support for ANY phone, NEVER EVER go with models that have been branched-off from initial model. They just cause trouble regarding updating, developer support, and OEM support. They're a cheap sales trick, used by companies (Samsung) who are more interested in selling NEW phones without any long term commitment to support like Apple's 3+ years.

Just look at what happened to the I9000! It is still my opinion the best phone ever created by Samsung, but they already stopped supporting it long time ago, including by Google Android ICS, even though there is no apparent reason for not having that support...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
That's not entirely true. Yeah the S1 may not be getting ICS, but support has not stopped.

On the S1 forum the latest firmware is a leaked JVU 2.3.6, same version as the latest S2 firmware. It also has plenty of new changes, including the Note lockscreen & faceunlock

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golden eastside:
hi,

so after reading about the differences between the two models i feel kinda screwed. after my i9100 got wet i got some cash from the insurance company and went to buy a replacement.

good thing i'm a newb and didn't think about the possibility of a cheap rip-off version of my phone existing. so i just got a new "sgs2". well great. aside from more than lacking custom dev support it's also supposed to be slower and weaker in regards of game performance.

do you guys think, this will improve or should i throw my phone into the sh*tter and try to get another replacement? if they even had any non-g models. i feel cheated! thinking that for only 50€ more i could have gotten a nexus at the same store.

/edit: i do not acutally plan to heavily mod my phone. just use bacis (root) apps and all that. no custom rom or anything. i only fear that updating to non-official android os versions in the future (like when the sgs2 is outdated in ~2 years) might prove difficult. if i can't get ics on this phone i'm going to murder everyone at that store.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steenko:
My first SGS2 was i9100 but it crashed and seller gave me my money back. So I ordered the same phone from another seller and he sent me i9100G but on his site was clearly said he is selling i9100 with MALI400 GPU.

So I sent it back again and I am waiting for answer from seller now.

Here is my comparison i9100G to i9100 version:

- i9100G was slower in rendering web sites in Chrome and opera

- same battery time

- G was slower in apps

- I had problems with many apps on the G version, they were crashing all the time: opera, email, games...

I didn't like the i9100G at all, it was slower, less powerful phone with crashing apps for the same price.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] riks4039:

iight never mind, we should be seeing our very own leak soon -=D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Easy there champ. lets wait for 4.0.3 to be OTA'd.

And remember that just because the NS4G has 4.0.4 doesn't mean the Galaxy Nexus will ever get it (it might skip right over). If you remember, the NS4G had different OTAs and build #'s than even the GSM Nexus S. Its a different device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HRodMusic:
true, im fairly new to the nexus line of phones, so i got a little exited, im used to waiting 6+ months for an update lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Yay, so we're going to be two updates behind the Nexus S soon. Nice job Google!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I doubt there will be leaks for the GSM galaxy nexus. Leaks usually come from carriers, and since there is no official carriers for the GSM version, I think it's doubtful we see leaks.

The verizon version is different. As we've seen, select people with verizon connections have builds prior to official releases. They just keep them among the select few.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
The GSM Galaxy Nexus is not exclusively sold in North America FYI. O2, Three and Vodafone are just three of the networks that I know of who officially offer the Galaxy Nexus here in the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Award Tour:
Most of it just might be device specific changes. Has happened before with x.x.x releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Read my reply above. Just because the NS4G is on 4.0.4 doesn't mean were ever going to get it on the GN. The NS and NS4G were on different builds of 2.3 also, but one was never "behind" the other. Chill out.

[Nook Touch General] viraniaman:
I have rooted my nook simple touch. Originally it was meant for reading only, but I write a lot too and writing on a computer screen is very straining as well as intimidating. I installed an app for takig notes on my NST but then I found that the keyboard isn't very nice on the nook. I want to change it. There are several keyboard apps on the market but none of them seem to work. I am not very much aware about the android system, so will someone please help me install a new keyboard? I don't need swype, swiftkey x will do. please help me install swiftkey x or something similar.
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
you have to move the apk file from /data/app to /system/app. Then use Nook Color Tools to select new keyboard.

I can recommend Hacker's keyboard (on market it is for android 2.2 and later but you can find somewhere on the forum link to a 2.1 version). Only cons is that it is dark but I have asked a developer and he is working on a different look (and hopefully also integrate 2.1 compatibility pach).
[Nook Touch General] Wiltuz:
if you dont wanna open adb or anything, just do this

you can just install the app using Market

(or)

Download the apk from tto your computer. copy it to your SD card. Insert the SD card into nook and just open the folder in your SD card where you have the .apk and tap on it. then nook will ask for an install prompt and then proceed to install.

Once done enable the keybord from the app itself, or if you open NookColor tools you will have an ption to change the default keyboard
[Nook Touch General] Torimu.Joji:
Keyboards

Take a look at TorimuNooter, it has ICSKeyboard included.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Just to add on to this, ICSKeyboard has a working autocorrect/suggestion system.
[Nook Touch General] viraniaman:
thanks everyone. I figured it all out myself. I am currently on touchpal and am loving it. thanks for the Co ordination
[Nook Touch General] slmillman:
How did you get Touchpal to work. I installed TouchPal Tablet and the keyboard was all messed up?

What version of Touchpal are you using?
[Nook Touch General] jugaor:
Hello, I'm also looking for a better keyboard (for Spanish, for example).

I've tried many (I like ICSKeyboard), but all they lack the key "Done" (required when adding notes in the stock Reader).

Somebody knows if there is a keyboard that includes it?

TIA,

jugaor
[Nook Touch General] viraniaman:
sorry I meant smart keyboard pro. its great and very customizeable. it also has Spanish language for it, and many more.

I think the done key is not dependent on what keyboard you use (its not available on the stock of course), it gets activated only in situations the app needs it to. so if the apparently commands the use of the done key, it will be there. I am not sure if this is correct, but I do get the one key whenever I want on the smart keyboard pro.
[Nook Touch General] fbxdadev:
I have the same problem with the "Done" key: for example when I want to add a note to my books, I found I can only do that with the stock keyboard which has a permanent "done" button for me to press. Any other keyboard I tried has the normal "enter" key, but no "done"... pressing enter has the effect of a carriage return on the notes (that allow for multiline comments up to 512 char), but I can't save the note.

Anyone found a solution to this?

Thanks anyone!
[Nook Touch General] ookimi:
ICS keyboard for NST

Your post is my only hope left in the sea of misery of keyboards without auto-suggestion. I tried to install a couple of ICSKeyboard builds on my 1.2.1 Nook rooted with NootManager, but to no avail. Could you tell me where to find a cab of this ICSKeyboard working on Nook?

The TorimuNooter is not available anywhere anymore. The only image I could find is 06K version; it doesn't have this keyboard.
[Nook Touch General] JunkMan1989:
Clarification on installing a new keyboard: First you will need a browser with root privileges (ES File Explorer worked for me). In the settings menu, choose Root Explorer, then Mount R/W. Both "data" and "system" need to be set to R/W - otherwise I couldn't see the files and folders in data and I couldn't copy things to system/app). Find the keyboard install program (mine (graffiti) was not easy - I had to search for the APK). Copy it to the System/App folder. Run the install from that folder. That made it show up in the Nook Color Tools for me.
[Nook Touch General] geopapa:
There must be a way to force the "Done" key to show in a 3rd party keyboard.. I use Smart keyboard to be able to write to my language (stock has only english) but the only problem is this "done" key not showing, although it show elsewhere..
[Wildfire Android Development] SinawY:
Thanks a lot for this build Erwin,

trying it ASAP.

One Q: are wifi hot-sopt and mobile data working OK??
[Wildfire Android Development] ErwinP:
Mobile data works fine, but I haven't tested the hot-spot functionality yet. So you tell us ;)

I've forgotten to say: if the device asks you re-enter your pin code, you must do so. If it then says that you should reboot your device: just press "back" and most of the time you should be fine. I've noticed however that doing a reboot stops hem from asking it.
[Wildfire Android Development] scux:
Calendar works to sync fine:)
[Wildfire Android Development] Opson:
I'm not going to complain, but this ROM at current stage is only for users with backup phone. Trying ICS is intresting, but for this while unusable for daily use. Even writing messages is a bit sluggish and frustrating. Beta testers will come, and help with testing CM9 for Wildfire, but it must runs with reasonable speed and funcionality
[Wildfire Android Development] rocker86:
Bonus

Bluetooth tethering working which is a new option in CM9...
[Wildfire Android Development] jasonfreeman:
If you install it and replace Trebuchet with Nova Launcher and run SetCpu @ 729Mhz, it is running just fine.

Sometimes you've got to look for the alternatives that fix some issues...

Also, in development settings you can set the animations at .5x.

This makes them a LOT smoother!

Bugs I'd like to report:

-All the cyanogenmod settings like those in CM7 are missing ;)

-I don't have any lockscreen for some reason?

-Camera doesn't work

-Phone has a weird layout in Landscape-mode

-Browser doesn't work

-Animations are still laggy

-Rotation animation goes to black screen for a second and only after that it does a rotation animation

-I can't seem to get the Market working, after flashing the .zip mentioned in the first post of this thread

I just don't see a Market-icon in the app drawer...
[Wildfire Android Development] ErwinP:
New update - sorry if you just installed the previous one, but I was testing something and didn't know if it would work. But it does :) Check it out, lots of differences.

You are right, I haven't stress that out enough. I update the OP.

What kind of mtd partitions work with this rom? I have 150 and something and it doesn't seem to be booting. The last build did boot with the same partitions.
[Wildfire Android Development] ErwinP:
Read the OP, you cannot install gapps due to a lack of space.. I'm working with the standerd MTD partitions.
[Wildfire Android Development] jasonfreeman:
@ErwinP, I have to say that the new bootanimation looks gorgeous, thanks for adding that :)

Now I would like to flash gapps on it after I've set some custom MTD partitions.

How large do you suggest the system-partition to be? Since 150 isn't enough... Just don't want to leave too much free space on /system which I could be using for /data...

-How much space does ics gapps need on /system?

-Now much space does your latest build need on /system?
[Wildfire Android Development] AlexKR91:
Last build not work for me fine. There are FC's of all, that can FC. I can't open launcher and lock screen. But first build was good.

THX for CM9 build anyway.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

UPD: Sorry, gapps led to FC's. When i reinstall ROM in third time it loaded perfectly.
[Wildfire Android Development] dud3me:
Yeah lol should have read more carefully. I'm checking to see if the rom itself boots with my partitions.

Edit: It did not and the mtd partitions I was using were 150 10. Had a good time to look at the bootanimaton it does look pretty good ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] jasonfreeman:
I also seem to have problems with the latest build + gapps to fit on my /system partition.

Now that I think about it, it could be because it's still only 150MB in size since my CM7 flashing...

I'll erase everything, create a new custom MTD /system partition of 250MB which should be large enough.

I'll check out the used size of /system with the terminal afterwards so you guys can optimize your device with the minimal needed /system size... ;)

I guess the use of app2sd will be needed for apps since ICS itself + gapps takes quite some space....
[Wildfire Android Development] ErwinP:
In my default partition size, /system uses 150mb RAM. My partition is 250mb, but yet I can't install gaps because on the first boot, when DexOpting all those google apps, it stops with "Zip inflate: write failed: No space left on device". How big are those apps? :eek:

Hi,

I did a "adb shell dumpsys batteryinfo" today and found the main culprit was this wakelock:

Wake lock

GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndpoint: 1h 11m 46s 536ms partial (89 times) realtime

I have tried disabling Gtalk, logging out of it etc. , still I cannot avoid this wakelock.

I am connected to the work Wifi network most of the times, which uses an internal proxy, which does not support SOCKS....Could this be the reason for the wakelock? Is something always trying to connect to the Google servers? (I think my Wifi indicator never turns blue while at work). I have no issues while browsing, receiving push email on exchange etc....Though, Gmail push and Gtalk don't sign in.....

If so, what is your suggestion? I will try to remain on data only tomorrow and report back.

Btw, I recommend this app, which gives awesome detail on battery life (with a nice status bar indicator too, and that too free of ads):

[T-Mobile LG G2x] vt3c:
So I just got the G2X today and have 2 questions I would like answered. I have the 2.3.3 firmware if that would help answer my questions.

1. I know everybody is talking about how crap the stock G2X Gingerbread camera app is but that itself isn't my problem. My problem is why is the viewfinder so dim(dark) The only way that I can get it to go brighter is messing with the exposure settings. Is this a bug or just part of how F***ed up this stock camera app is?

2. Whenever I turn the phone back on it will quickly go into my homescreen and then back into the lock screen? Normal? Or is this another bug that LG has messed up our firmware with? Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Uhhh, not too sure about 1. I actually liked the camera, but I think the darkness is an issue all around with ROMs. I could be wrong though.

As for 2, well... I wouldn't say it's normal exactly, but... it's normal behavior for this phone. It's not like that on non-stock ROMs, however.
