There is no app for wifi-calling now. They switched to IMS based wifi-calling, and it is integrated into andriod now. 2.3.6 is the version that was released that has wifi-calling built in.

You can see the wifi-calling settings under Settings->Wireless and network. There is a check box to enable / disable it.

I always leave that box checked. So when ever I connect to a wifi network, wifi-calling always gets enabled.

So there should be no need to have a tasker enable/disable it.

i don't have much time to DEV otherwise i've have started a long time ago, just recently i got some spare time, so i'm trying to set things up and get started.

I'm trying to at least get a full clean AOSP with no extra, just plain stock Google AOSP + T989 drivers

then i'll go from there to something else, probably by the the sources for ICS 4 should have dropped

Thanks all gamer. with a two year old running around I got as far as getting dxidias ROM kitchen and deodexing, zip aligning, etc stock ROM . I'm still wanting to figure out other things like adding tweaks, but that takes time o don't always have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaryAustin:
I've had the same thoughts about getting into ROM development.

- A lifetime ago I was building/compiling Linux. Looks like ROMs are more/less same.

The links do help!

And thanks for posting the question - saved me some time on the internet.

Assumptions...

- C/C++ for drivers and misc apps.

- pull sources and make sure to get a good release prior to starting.

- I also read that most build from an older release/version of Linux. Not sure why... I'll be using RedHat otherwise (unless I run into serious issues).

Some interesting HW links:

sparkfun com

http://www.liquidware.com/shop/show/BB-AND-HDE/Android+Hardware+Development+Environment

Somebody passed on this site for a micro-usb breakout jig (bought 3).

Looks like they have some good equipment for low-level work. Haven't started yet - soon though.

4ext is faster and has more features ... the dev is also quick to respond and not just in it for the money like koush seems to be
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amazinglarry311:
Koush provides it for fee on his website. It you can flash this from your current recovery:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ci8xkjbpywp9uxh

If you need a market app to install it for you then koush asks that you buy rom manager from the market. Sheesh.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Not true; even those with paid/pro versions of Rom Manager get charged for it via the app ... we get ads and nags to vote for his apps too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Had CWM (original) till I heard that the ext4 format made the software alittle faster. Switched over to 4EXT and like how it has more features. No problems with it thus far. Haven't gone to either CWM Touch or 4EXT Touch yet though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amazinglarry311:
That doesn't change the fact that it's FREE ON HIS WEBSITE. Jesus.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
No, but it does go to show that he's in it for the money and not for the support; I bought RM to support his work and not get nickle and dimed to death (or see ads) ... he's since pushed ads to the paid version and charges extra for things that should be included (like flashing his own recovery).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amazinglarry311:
Have you not checked the settings menu? Advertisements are optional... Wow. We're lucky koush exists in the Android scene.

So ungrateful.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TobiS87:
Indeed. I've used CWM ever since I own rooted Android devices and it never lets me down. So I decided to support the dev with buying the touch Recovery. People complain about 2$ - that's just ridiculous. Be happy that you get that much free apps and ROMs from the devs - not like on the iPhone side, where you have to pay for every little app...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Yes, I have checked the settings and have opted to not see settings; has absolutely no effect on his ads for his products that come up every time he updates RM; it also has no effect on him charging paid/pro users to flash his recovery.

Now, I am grateful (I paid for RM to support his work despite not using any of the pro features) for his contributions but that doesn't Chang my opinion that he's turned more towards the money and less towards the users. Since I've purchased his app he has repeatedly and publicly called his "customers" names all while not offering support (and now charging paid users).

I stand my earlier recommendation: 4ext is faster, has more features and is more stable (remember that weeks long HTC screen hang? How about that full on data corruption around the same time?) than CWM; and the Dec is quick to add feature requests and answer user (paid or otherwise) questions.

Koush, in my opinion, is up there with the TiB dev (that guy even pulled his support site Dow! ).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deamoniac7:

Not sure about on the G2 but i have been using CW for years and just resently came accross 4ext and am really impressed. There are just to many things you can do with 4ext that you can't with CW.

I used cwm before 4ext came out because that is all I had. When 4ext came out I loaded it up and never looked back. Madmaxx is an awesome person who seems to have more of a hands on appraoch with his people who use his apps. I appreciate all the work koush has done and will do, but my vote is for 4ext touch. Its real responsive and has a few more features than cwm does.

Without jesusfreke, cyanogen and amonra there wouldn't be cw recovery either. I'm a proud supporter as well but I do think he charges a bit too much. Either way I'm happy for all the devs work and I'm always happy to buy them a drink or two.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydoubledub:
I hear that! The only reason I'm going to try it out is to install "Stock Rom v4.5 / SenseM 5.0 / 5.0.1 Ext4".

CWM is stable and reliable. I don't have much use for it, or any other recovery, than to backup, restore, install new ROMs, and occasionally mount the SD card.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
Totally disappointed with some people

I started reading this thread because I've heard of 4EXT and was interested in what makes it so special. And then I came across statements like that:

Have a look at my signature. I've neither paid for my recovery nor lied about my phone. EDIT: Had to change signature as I'm now using 4EXT. Anyways, here is what I wanted you to see: Scroll down to HTC G2.

Oh, and the attachment is for you, too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
I can only recommend 4EXT

I decided to install 4EXT some minutes ago and was really overwhelmed by the huge variety of themes. And the touch control seems more developed than ClockworkMod's.

It is indeed more comfortable to do get things done. I restored a NANDROID backup in 168 seconds, which, I think, is a very short time compared to CWM (maybe because CWM doesn't even tell you how long it takes to do that). It also provides us with more things that can be done. Like, as said before by some fellows, fomatting as ext4. It even displays the current time and battery charge.

In my opininion 4EXT is the better recovery. Not only because of its customizable appearance but also because its handling feels just... better.

Just try it out yourself, like I did, and I am quite sure that you won't be disappointed.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337m45732:
Sure, 4ext is more far along, but it doesnt have the same feel as the classic cwm. I chose touch recovery over 4ext because of that, for one, and for the simple fact that i respect the work Koush does. He is a great developer and is not just "in it for the money". I got touch recovery for FREE from koush's site. And installed it. Instructions are not provided, but it isnt hard. The only difference is its not just an app you install. I love touch recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Honestly, I don't think im getting rid of 4EXT unless i get a new phone and its not on that device yet. but till then

CYA
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lianthe:
I really wanted to like 4ext, but the freezing/hanging on gathering files was ridiculous.. so back to CWM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
? Maybe its just me but 4ext is faster
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
4EXT is lightning fast... if anyone is experiencing unusual lags with 4EXT then something fishy is going on... Max provides killer support (don't be afraid to hit him up with bug reports), and the updates just keep coming. The latest test build of 4EXT is the fastest Recovery I've ever used.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
While he is a great developer, have you read the RM reviews lately? Have you looked at the comments in RM lately? While CWM works (except for that brief period where everyones devices were getting wiped because, I guess, he didn't fully test that version before release), RM is a waste. There are *premium* ROMs showing up on devices they aren't even compatible with! RM has bricked many devices lately and despite everyone hounding Koush to get back on his game he has not even responded, let alone fixed the problem. Hell, even CyanogenMOD downloads aren't showing up and he works on CM!

So yes, while CWM Touch may have the same "feel" as CWM, 4ext *is* more stable and the developer is fully reachable for support. I paid for the premium license for RM only to find bugs and ads and absolutely no support while even the free 4ext had a readily available developer.

Now go brick your device by flashing a ROM that RM says is for your device and email Koush for support and then we'll see what you say about Koush only being in it for the money.

In my opinion, he tried to support more devices that he was able to, and he's paying the price. He's made his money, but he's losing his reputaion.

Does the Xperia Play come with a pre-installed scratch protector?

I do notice on my play that there seems to be a lip on the edge of my screen like theres one there.

I called Sony support, and they say they don't ship them out with with anything and that it must have been my provider, Rogers, that put it on. Which also soudns weird.

I just wanna know if there really is one there, I want to take it off and replace it. But I don't want to tear off something I shouldnt. I don't have any clue about phone hardware, I might be ripping of the digitizer or something.

Sony says they don't put one on, and Rogers says they don't. I wanna replace it because of a scratch.

Here's sony's official stance on the screen: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/static/webguide/xperiaplay/en/Using-the-touch-screen.html

And to answer your question, yes, adding an aftermarket scratch guard will also keep glass from flying around...

If you read through all 11 pages (LOL) of the thread Michealtbh mentioned, you'd find quite a few opinions on the pros and cons of removing the shatter-guard.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
Thanks for the info.

But that link is talking about that peice of plastic that comes with all phones. It has the little flap that lets you pull it off. You know the one EVERYONE tries to keep on their phone as long as possible till they get a real scratch protector, but just comes off and is covered is dust?

Still it answered my main question. I'll wait till I get the clearcoat to remove it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianpaul:
I didn't post the sony link about the plastic sheet. Rather that not having ANY film on a glass screen is kinda dangerous. But don't all the other gorilla glass phones come without a shard-guard? What happens when they break? and a piece of glass injures someone or something...

I read up on it, The play doesn't use gorrilla but mineral glass.

So what you're all saying is I can take off the film and ill be fine? I just have to watch out for glass shards if I shatter my phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
I took mine off because it was quite badly scratched and replaced it with one from eBay
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianpaul:
The iphones use gorilla and i know of quite a few of them that have cracked in a major way from minor drops.

Thing about the shard-guard is that it won't actually prevent the glass from shattering. If the impact is severe enough and at the right (wrong?) angle, it will crack, no matter what is stuck on it. Just the film will keep shards from flying. Kinda like what happens when a car windshield breaks. That's different though, it's laminated glass i think.

Well in windows mobile it was extremely easy. The EPST menu allows access to many things. One in particular i was looking for was changing the radio scan interval. If you changed that it wouldnt ping for towers as often thus saving much battery life. On my Touch Pro 2 with sprint, since i was in great service everywhere, i lowed the value and extened my battery life by up to 3 hours. which is a lot lol. I was looking for something like that in android to do the same. But im on a Galaxy S 2 now so i havent even thought of it.
