Slim ICS 2.6

I've been using Slim ICS 2.6 for a couple of days now and everything is working great! It is a light and VERY fast ROM.

For me it has a couple of issues but nothing serious, the facebook contacts sync problem (solved it with HaxSync from the market) and the compass isn't working in Google Maps.

But despite these 2 issues I can honestly say I haven't been happier with my phone since I bought it.

Here is the thread...

Team ICSSGS

Hi,

I've been using the Team ICSSGS' ICS 4.0.3 RC 4.2 since last few days.

I think this ROM is now as good as a stable ROM

The only issue that has been bugging me is connecting to a 802.1x secured wifi network

Otherwise, it has an awesome interface, everything works... and can be used as a day-to-day ROM now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuickCs:
i tried almost all ics rom , and i believe the best stable ics rom are CodeNameAndroid 1.3.3 and 1.40 , ;) no lag , no FC , just perfect , work all perfect
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striderxda:
After trying CM9, i am running AOKP 2.02 for five days now and it's really a good rom. Only one crash of music apps. Batterylife is better than a stock rom. Lots of options. I love it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunnis:
I've been running CodeNameAndroid 1.40 for couple of days now and it works great.

However, it seems Dax might be changing project from that to something else, so I might try something else soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [BartSim]:
I'm a satisfied user of ICSSGS RC4.2 (stock kernel) and this rom i'd like to recommend to You. Of course, it has some issues (a few, really) - like any other ICS port - but it is 100% stable and i use it since it has appeared on xda for download. To be sure and to avoid more problems i suggest to stick with native kernel, which is very good by the way :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Wow!! So many people using AOKP. really overwhelmed!! Thank you all. :) :) :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [BartSim]:
No wi-fi related problems here (speaking about RC4.2) but there is always something to be fixed - mostly minor issues.. but sometimes annoying. For example, i've experienced once when receiving a call i couldn't use my lockscreen because it freezed for a few seconds - it happened just once and i missed a call then :/ But what can i say - we all have to remember that all of these ICS ports are just beta's or RCs so let's hope there will be fully working ICS rom with no issues at all soon ;) 4.0.4 version has appeared after all so i believe it will fix some of our troubles too ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salem94:
AOKP !

I'm using AOKP too ;)

Stable, fast, no FC (I'm using it for a week) and a good battery life.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would let you all know, that there is an app that temporarily removes root, I work for Sky Sports(attached to Sky), and i've known for a while that it wouldn't work on rooted devices, DRM and all that.

However, some testing i've done with my Galaxy S2, i've found an app which removes root(backs it up too), OTA RootKeeper, it temporaily unroot,(keeps backup) basically allows any apps that dont' work with root to work.

Tested and tried, i'm just hoping the guys at Text and Mobile division at Sky bring out anytime or even anytime+ in the near future.

Though we love our apple products within Sky, so may be a while before android gets anything like that, I on the other hand hate Apple.

Thought I would give people a heads up on how to get the new app working.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zee54:
Yeah .. This method has also been mentioned by someone in the Sky Forums site ....

http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Using-Sky-Go/Got-it-working-on-rooted-phone/m-p/319073

I'm unfortunately on ICS so it doesn't work for me either way :( ... Personally I'm really disappointed with Sky, having taken so long to bring out an app and then not have it up to date.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marcadam:
Already tried that with a different app, still hangs on loading.... 0%. I got it working once the first day, but temp unroot does nothing for me, even with supercurio's app :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] droid_1989:
Are you using ICS?

Yeah, hoping one of the devs brings a fix out for ICS.

As for temp unroot, i'm happy doing that aslong as it works.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
If you are on an ICS rom just change your build.prop

"ro.build.version = 2.3.7" (not 4.0.3)

that will get past the ICS check.

then you need to be on a stock rom and stock kernel (not cf-root or other!) and use OTA Rootkeeper app (free in market) to hide root when you want to use SkyGo
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mr sharpey:
This worked fine for me running XXKI3, 2.3.5 and using this app. Excellent app.:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Restrictedbeef:
This app didnt work for me. Really dont know what to do now. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonnobright:
I've managed to get it going by using CWM to flash the a stock KD1 kernal then using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to hide root.

When I've finished watching sky I use CWM to flash my siyah kernal back.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] droid_1989:
That sounds like way too much effort lol.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] s2dh:
Likewise...

Sky need to release an app that fully works on ask rooted phones, less of the excuses.

I do the same work around as I want my Kernel to be Siyah, but the only way to get Sky Go working us to flash a stock Kernel.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonny68:
If someone manages to get a hacked apk. or CWM flashable zip that works on rooted SGSII's please post it here, ive tried various methods mentioned without success.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marcadam:
Hiding root I can handle but having to flash a stock kernel to use the app is too much hassle but I hate not being able to use it :( netflix works with hiding root what's so special about sky go?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pigglett:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Restrictedbeef:
Hi Guys - I followed the above suggestion and it worked!! Only suprise is that skygo now works with or without using ota rootkeeper!!!!!

works like a charm.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] andy j:
Well i went completely stock and installed sky go and its rubbish half the programs are not shown "this program is not available on SKY-go" almost 60% of sky one is not shown.

its not worth un-rooting for this yet until there is more watch-able content on the app imo.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] droid_1989:
The iPhone app is the same. The movies are a big benefit though, but I wouldn't watch them on a 3G connection, only have 500mb a month, and when i'm on Wifi i'm either at a PC at work to watch, or at home with TV.

It would be good if I was at someone's house and they had Wifi though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] droidredman:
I flashed speedmod kernel as described with mobile odin, then temporary uprooted with voodoo App, When I want to change back to NEAK kernel just flash back with mobile odin again, and re-root with Voodoo.

Whole process takes a few minutes, (a pain I know) but worth it to watch the epl while working away all week, I'll put up with it till hopefully a cracked apk comes along.

:p

The above topic explains how to get working on ICS. I have stock kernel and stuff LP7, and I can confirm it's working using the 'fixed' app and voodoo unroot.

Then just use Super Su to unroot,simple as rebooting,then Sky Go runs fine again on my S2 4.1.2.
[Motorola Droid 3] abehrani:
Hi everyone

I have been considering buying the Motorola droid 3 for some time now and wanted the actual users feedback weather to buy it or not?

I want a qwerty android phone with a dual core.

All your Inputs would be welcome.

Thank you

Anand
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
What do you want to know? I don't know about prices/availability over there but you might also get the droid 4 instead if possible.

As for droid 3, for me:

Pro's:

- best qwerty I've used

- qwerty + android

- dual core

- looks

Cons:

- screen is "good" but certainly not up there with the best

- locked bootloader

- Droid 4 release :p
[Motorola Droid 3] abehrani:
Well i am using a galaxy sl at the moment

What I miss the most is the lack of a qwerty keypad. Dual core and the stock of roms etc really make it better.

The droid 4 is not available here : ( needless to say not even the droid 3....

Motorola here has not launched any of these models here

I want a really good qwerty handset keeping the most modern hardware possible Both the droid options would have to be imported..here
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well if you want QWERTY i say get the droid3/4.

You could import them from negri electronics, thats what I did.

Just depends whether you wanna pay the extra ~$100 for the droid 4
[Motorola Droid 3] Rick#2:
I love this phone. The only advice I have is to avoid buying a Verizon XT862 as it seems a lot of users out there are having issues unlocking them due to Verizon meddling with the unlock codes.

If you decide on the D3, go for an XT860 as it's basically identical but not a hassle to unlock.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
That's why you buy the verizon XT862 unlocked version from negri electronics ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] abehrani:
I will keep the Xt 862 in mind when buying..

I wanted to know the problems with the device specifically and problem which is pointed out with the display?

What is wrong with the display?

I wanted to know how it compares to my Samsung galaxy sl which is still single core but the other stuff??

How is the xda support for this device like the custom roms etc etc?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Nothing is "wrong" with the display. It's just not an improvement over a galaxy S.

It's higher RES but shadows/dark are worse than galaxy S and when you look real close you can see a bit of grain because of pentile.

But unless you're a display-freak its OK. I'd rather have the droid 3 than galaxy S2 because of its QWERTY
[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
I would not say there is a "problem" or "wrong with the display", probably there are better...
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
If Price is a factor add the following

--Pro's: VERY CHEAP or even free

What it boils down to to me is if you want a QWERTY slider Android phone, the Droid series is the only way to go. If you want the latest and greatest and/or have to have/want 4G and are willing to pay for it, get the Droid 4. If you are wanting cheap and don't care about or are willing to forgo 4g, then get the Droid 3.

I paid $50 for my droid 3 with contract renewal in Jan and my Wife's was free with her contract renewal in Feb (and came with the dock and car dock thrown in free too). The OP mentions "not available here" but where is "here"? The contract renewal probably doesn't apply I guess - but the Droid 3 will be getting dumped for cheap until supplies run out and its a great phone. Particularly if you are like me and upgrading from a Droid 1.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The only downside I have experienced was a lack of LTE. Battery life and performance are excellent.

[HTC Desire S] masterl1983:
Hi all,

is there any posibility to use ROM Manger with 4ext revcovery?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
ROM manager is for clockwork mod. If you use 4ext, there is no need for ROM manager. Btw. 4ext is a lot more functional

Sent my thoughts to your head with XDA App
[HTC Desire S] masterl1983:
It true for "recovery". But I would like to use ROM Manager to download "google apps" and ROMs
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I think for download purposes you can "fool" the ROM manager choosing "manual Flash Override" in settings menu
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You can still use ROM manager to download whatever you want. And flash those files from Recovery. You don't have to have CWM installed for that... downloading stuff is a function of the app, not the recovery. For all recovery related purposes, 4EXT will do just fine... When you choose reboot into recovery, you'll still be taken to 4EXT Recovery.

Go ahead, test it out and post your observations here. :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
While you can download ROMs through ROM Manager, you cannot perform functions like flash ROMs and reboot to recovery through ROM Manager while using 4EXT recovery. Use the 4EXT Recovery Control App

The reason is that Koush (the guy who made CWM and ROM Manager) used specific code in his app/recovery that enabled them to perform these functions. madmaxx (the guy who made 4Ext) couldn't use this code, as Koush didn't reply to his PM's asking for permission. So, he designed his own app with different code. IMO, it's better and a LOT more functional than ROM Manager :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
That's right. If you, for some reason, OP still wants to use ROM manager instead of 4EXT Recovery Control, he can use ROM Manager to download whatever he wants, then boot into recovery, and flash the add-ons from recovery. (I understand that's what the OP was asking for... to be able to download ROMs etc using ROM Manager). Foe full control however, i would obviously recommend 4EXT Recovery Control. :)
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
digging up a bit of an old thread here but if you were to use rom managers add zip feature to load a chain of say 4 zips to flash would that work and then flash through 4ext. if not does 4ext control have that function?
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
yea 4ext control had this feature and you can do a lot more.

Secondly before doing reinstall I will suggest to do a fix permission in recovery.

Ok I am an HTC user since the Nexus1-DHD and sensation since August.

As usual I will look for the next HTC flagship,though this time the Endeavor will have huge sizes because of its screen.

So imagine that at the MWC HTC doesn't show a true successor for the Sensation,just rebadged versions and the huge Endeavor...will you buy the superb Sony (no more SE) Xperia S?

The upgrades over Sensation?

-Dual core 1.5 out of the box (could be boosted with kernel)

-HD screen 720p

-Camera 12mp from Sony

Oh and don't forget that all new Sony mobiles are rootable now :D
[HTC Sensation] waltthizzney:
yeah its a nice phone but it is nothing revolutionary.... i am gonna hold out another year, I still have not experienced ICS yet on my sensation, waiting for a stable build, dont see the point of upgrading at thispoint

[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
We should get reviews next week, just in time with MWC revelations, oh by the way sammy's sgs3 will not be out before summer.

Tried sgs2 for 2 months and felt it very poor (very cheap plastic).

If you like the multimedia part in a phone then the Sony Xperia S is awesome, it just need a bunch of XDA devs to work on it so it gets CM9 and MIUI roms asap :D
[HTC Sensation] MaxxieB:
I Thought that too but i've been using ARHD 6.2.1 for weeks and i havent had a single problem!

As for the Xperia S I think its a stunning piece of kit and that screen is going to be stunning (hope we sell it at work cos they let me "rent" Phones out haha) but the endeavour looks to be absolutely amazing i love my htc and id never go back to lg or samsung. they feel kinda cheap in comparison!
[HTC Sensation] townay:
non of the poll options above tbh :p

If no new HTC phones by q3/q4 that has 720p squashed into 4.3" Xperia S will be my new phone. As I have mentioned before in another thread, Endeavor has 720p in 4.7" while Ville has qhd in 4.3" and Rezound has 720p in 4.3" but Rezound is a Verizon only phone and I cant get it here in Taiwan. Any phones over 4.3'' is too big for my hands.

Also, alot of HTC's android phones have some audio issues with their video recording. While Rezound's audio quality is far ahead of Sensation's, there is still this minute yet audible random pops or scratch sounds that is present its video recording.

So unless HTC comes up with a 4.3" 720p display, Xperia S will be my next phone. I can even overlook the terrible audio quality in their video recording.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
So you have to choose the 3rd option ;)

Me too I am waiting for a 4.3'' 720p screen and not the monster Endeavor's one.

Not to mention that HTC looks like it doesn't understand that we want new screen tech(led like) and more powerfull speaker,so all our hopes are on MWC
[HTC Sensation] townay:
Ah ha ok got it. Thanks lol

I am personally not a fan of led/amoled variants. I feel that leds push the contrast too hard, good for blacks but in the end I feel as though lcd offer a more natural color.

I've had the HD2 for the last two years and currently have Dansta's Sensation ROM on it, however I was due an upgrade and have just taken charge of the sensation xe, pleased with it so far but I was torn between that and the Sony Xperia S.

I like HTC but I'm really tempted with the Sony, so I may play around with this and send it back before the fourteen days are up and wait for the Xperia.

I'm just not sure so I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what people think :)

Hell yes! I've played with one of these or the regular one with single core at the Sony store and I was impressed.

I'm really thinking about getting an Sony once my contracts up, but I don't know how the developer support on these phones are.

If we add some actual HTC xda devs to the actual SE ones then this Xperia S will be a winner for sure.

I tried the Arc when it was out,it got root but roms took a while to come out
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Same processor...so no. Not when Krait SoCs are coming out.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
If you can wait another 6 months...

But an 4.3'' HD screen 720p, 12mp camera,hdmi,...are enough to be an upgrade.

And for ''normal'' sensation users like me with dual 1.2ghz, a dual 1.5ghz which could be boosted to 2.0ghz will do a difference too.

There are rumours of a new HTC 4.3'' Incredible x device to be showed in MWC, we will see if it's another rebadged sensation or a true upgrade with HD 720 screen,powerfull speaker and better camera (and why not a quad cpu)
[HTC Sensation] townay:
Like I said, if by Q4 there isnt any new 4.3" 720p

lcd

phones, Xperia S will be in my hands :D

I know Rezound is a world phone but its not sold in Taiwan..or I havent been looking hard enough but pretty sure its not sold here :P

Funny that HTC being a Taiwanese company limits some of their phones to US/EU only and not selling it in their home country. Maybe better market, faster network speeds

or

thats just the EU/US HTC branch lol

Rezound is not sold here and beleive me we have all possible HTC models from all Asian black market in our country ;)
