Yes, I'm experiencing this also!

I bought my daughter a Transformer Prime, upgraded to ICS.

When I go to my computer, open Google+ and invite her to a hangout, she gets the invite but when she opens it it's like a new hangout is created, one that is only connected to the android G+ messenger app. Because I can find her messages and open the hangout on my android phone. But all communications between my computer and her tablet are blocked (I don't even get her chat messages to the computer, only to my phone)
[HTC Rezound] MrAwesome96:
I was wondering what would happen if someone installed an alternative rom and then relocked their bootloader.

What problems might this cause, if any?
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
no problems but they would be stuck on the rom until they unlocked or ran an RUU i believe
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonymbus:
Kinda new to this stuff, but feel pretty comfortable with it. Do have a question though. I installed ics on my epic and i now have no auto rotation, is anyone else having this problem and if so how do you fix it?

On a side note, is there an overclock kernel for ics?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
There is a Tips thread in General you should look through. It has all these answers. Yes there is OC kernels in the Development section and there is 3 places that have to be checked for the auto rotation. It is in the OP of that CM9 Tips thread.

Does the dedicated camera button work to snap pics? Doesn't work for me! I'm on the sense 3.5 rom but it wasn't working on stock either.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
It does on energy rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] lonz358:
Sucks it doesn't work on all but thanks, great phone either way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
it works on stock! straight from the lockscreen too! it's supposed to. are you running third party launcher?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lonz358:
No, I was running sense when I was on stock...from lockscreen it would bring me to the camera app but wouldn't let me snap a pic with the camera button.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
are you pressing down all the way? there is a focus click and if you press harder it snaps a picture..its a two click button..hold down lightly to focus and firm to take pic...if it's not working you need to contact HTC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lonz358:
Wow that did it...I would only press down and it would focus, but I didn't know I had to hold it down because when I first tried it would just focus. Thanks for the help!
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
glad it helped!
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I know with my D3O case, I have to push the camera button to hard to take a pic, it messes up the pic cuz my hand is trembling lol. Same goes for my power button. I use the touch shutter button on screen now. I thought the case would break in, but its not lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] arcadeon54:
Just get a sharp xacto knife and cut out the buttons on the d30 case. I remember seeing a vid of it on youtube and it worked out pretty well.

I'm surprised the standard Galaxy Nexus / ICS doesn't have a new line / enter key.

Are there any keyboards that are very similar to the stock keyboard, but instead of a smiley key it has an enter button?

I really need to use new lines in SMS messages. :C
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Thumb keyboard is what I use on my tablet because its similar to stocks method of word correction but is more customisable in its layouts. I use stock on my nexus though.

Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Same. Thumb on the transformer stock on Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
when google fixes the lag on stock keyboard i will be using that. in the meantime i am using swiftkey x, which is pretty good, but it's autocorrect is horrible 90% of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well swiftkeyX learns from the way you type, so if you end up typing any different way, it'll try to "push" you in the direction it expects you to be typing. You get a more narrowly focused autocorrect that helps for your every day 100 character tweets and SMS, but hurts in your forum posts (or other long form typing).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
I still always wonder why people still use "tap" keyboards when there are swipe versions

I've personally used Swype on my last 3 Android phones and i can't envision me using anything else. It's so simple, accurate and bloody quick.

Stret
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
i've use swipe on all my android phones too but i find the galaxy nexus a little big for it making the swiped word slower than a smaller phone. i still like it though since it works well as a normal keyboard too when you dont want to swipe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adzrules:
This.

I have used swype on my past few Android devices and was always SURE that it was 10x faster than any 'tap' keyboard could ever be. Upon the discovery of Swiftkey X however, I was proven very wrong. Swiftkey is incredible fast and accurate. Yes it needs optimization for the GNex but still, it's faster than anything out there at the minute.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
There is allready a thread like this .... :

What keyboard you use?

Use search folx :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Theres no way swift key is quicker than swype if you can type properly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Just downloaded Swype; missed it too much from my DINC days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magoggles:
I wanted to say something to this effect earlier. I tried swiftkey before swype and they're like chalk and cheese to me. Swype seems so much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I use ICS themed swype from here: http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] merge5:
I really dig SwiftkeyX. Predictions improved a lot when I linked it to my facebook and gmail accounts. Never could get the hang of swype but maybe I should give it another try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
I'd like to try swype for gnex. So where do you "download" it? Its not on the market place. I have slide it, which is garbage. Could someone put a link up for swype for the nexus?

Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonironchef:
hey there, this should be the latest...

but what you'll need to do is visit the swype beta page and sign up, you'll need your username and password and enter it when the app opens, this'll then download the GN version onto your phone then install the apk...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Can anyone confirm this?? Sorry mate, I'm just a little paranoid installing some random apk not from one of the moderators...Please dont take offence. Thank you very much for posting it up. I've thanked your post. :):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
You could just go sign up! Using it as we speak.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonironchef:
No no it's okay, I know what you mean, it's just that some ppl sign up and they've said took really long from Swype to get the confirmation email with the link to the installer..yeah sign up it's the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uncle.kyle.91:
Is there any way to use the stock keyboard but replace the smiley key with a return key?

I really want new lines in SMS messages. :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I used to LOVE Swiftkey on my previous phones since its beta. Then I got GNex and realized that the space-bar on Swiftkey is way too short for the big screen so I ended up always tapping comma or period when I need to tap space. It got SO frustrating to a point that I unintalled it and actually felt relieved.

Then I tried Swype; too much work to swipe on a big screen; then Go keyboard, Touchpal and Smart Keyboard and I'm back to stock again, only to realize that stock actually works the best for GNex, IMO.

Great info !! Super !

Some questions: 1. How does one allow for SELECTION of custom boot animation? Is that a kernel thing or some thing else?

2. What about adding things like Voodoo Sound or some mod like that?

Thanks for any info !!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
I am glad you like it. I wanted to post this guide up so that noobs like me have a good starting point to learn this stuff.

I can take a crack at answering your questions, but do note that I am also a noob:

1) I would think a custom boot animation would be part of the ROM but not sure

2) I do not know what Voodoo Sound is but if it is an application then it would be modifying the ROM. If it is an enhancement to the audio drivers then it is kernel. Either way I would not know what to change. Sorrry.

I know I wasn't much help. But I tried :D

By the way, I am currently trying to learn how to make my own custom ROM. If you know of any guides that would be great if you can post them here. I will definitely post what I find. Currently I am downloading ROMs from this forum and seeing what they did to learn. One thing I am still confused about is if these guys built these ROM from source or used the binaries from the Stock ROM as base.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PMGRANDS:
Nice Guide man...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sombionix:
Roms such as AOKP or CM are compiled from source, otherwise known as AOSP. However, the majority of the roms you'll find here are not. To build a non-source rom a good starting point would be a system dump from your own phone, or find a pre-deodexed, stock base rom. From there, the tool of the trade is 7zip. View all the file via 7zip, pull files and modify. Now obviously, this is only a starting point, couldn't possibly go into advanced development with you. It takes time to learn and it's a lot of trial and error. Another helpful tool to learn is ADB commands and functionality. If you know this, it will save you a lot of time. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brunes:
This guide is a life-saver. I have compiled my own kernel for my desktop literally dozens of times, and have built distributions entirely from scratch two or three times (using Linux From Scratch), but was unable to figure this out myself due to the lack of a guide and things being scattered everywhere and people unwilling to help.

THANK YOU!!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] interloper:
An automation script would be a juicy treat and i may have just the thing...will need to be modified for this and tested but tomorrow (today, oh look at the time) i can put it together. Also, try building using make gconfig. Load your default config with the gui and you can see what bits of the kernel can be changed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erickwill:
Very nice guide! Thanks a lot!

I wondering about what is the difference between Hercules and Skyrocket sources? Is it only this "*For I727 users only: change "msm8660_celox_usa_tmo_defconfig" to "msm8660_celox_usa_att_defconfig" in the script below." ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
You will still need the proper source for i727. Config file just tells the compiler what to build.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] interloper:
These instructions assume the user already has the boot.img tools, bubby's initramfs and source code from the OP

1. Create a directory called t989-kernel

2. Download this package of tool chains and unzip it, making sure it is named "toolchains" toolchains

NOTE: There are many toolchains included in this pack and I have used them all to make kernel for the E4GT and they are all

sufficient for this task. However, should you move on to 3.X kernel I suggest using the Mjolnar or Linaro tools as they

are more suitable for that version.

3. Inside the "t989" directory deposit bubby's initramfs, the kernel source (extracted directory), toolchains and boot.img tools.

4. The names of the directories must be "ramdisk", "kernel" (kernel source), "toolchain", and "bin". Change them accordingly.

5. Put the attached "tmo-build.sh" into the "kernel" directory

6. Edit line 9 to reflect you version number and name. It will be what you see when you look at the phone properties

7. Change line 20 of the script to reflect your machine's name

8. cd into "kernel"

9. Type "./tmo-build.sh" and watch the magic as your kernel is made right before your eyes!

10. Go to "kernel_tmp/out" and get your shiny new homemade kernel complete with custom recovery and all the fixins'

NOTE: You can change line 41 to say "make gconfig" if you have GTK2 installed on your system. This will allow you to launch a GUI

through the script to make changes in a visual manner. If you get any "file not found" or "no such file" etc, make sure the

permissions are set to executable for all directories/files.

I'm still working on the error logging output so I will post an updated script as soon as it's ready. For the i727 users I will post a script for you too, but to make this work for you all you need to do is choose the make gconfig route and load your def_config from /arch/arm/configs/

Enjoy the silence!

your post seems rather snappy, and why im not really sure...

your basing this all off bubbys work, you guys really might wanna go back thru and redo it all

https://github.com/bubby323/anomaly_kernel_platform_SGH-T989/blob/master/initramfs/init.rc#L106

as stated the issue is tin the init.rc, only one of teh modules is getting loaded.. not even dhd.ko (wifi). which would mean that interloper is indeed correct in saying its not the modules that are broken, its the init.rc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
It seems like he already solved it. It was just the compiler and not that the script did not copy the modules over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:

OK sure my dude.. I mean I have no idea what I am talking about. My apologies

Btw my work isn't based off anyone else's. I pulled the initramfs from stock kernel...

:: LOVE MY HATERS :: DARKSIDE ::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shabbypenguin:
im not saying yours is, in this thread the guide points to bubby's initramfs which doesnt look like it will load stuff properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] interloper:
You can borrow all the files from another kernel zip. IDK if you have to sign it again on account that you're just replacing one file with another of the same name. In either case, sign or no sign, you have to zip it up with all the meta-inf and the updater-script/updater-binary like you see in other kernel zips.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
I compared my init.rc (I know it works) with bubby's and there isn't much difference. Both init.rc only install one module:

# insmod the modules

# ko files for bthid

insmod /lib/modules/bthid.ko

Ironically it works for me. So I don't believe bubby's initramfs is bad. Plus the one that had the module problem fixed it just by recompiling using another toolchain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] interloper:
Thanks datzstr8 for verifying the init.rc is proper. Its very unusual that it does not handle insmod for all the modules. That causes me to wonder how they get tied in. Without being able to flash a kernel myself im not sure how to check...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:

I am just going by this thread. I am a 100% newb to this. I downloaded ubuntu witch I have never used before but getting the hang of it. (kinda thinking this is just dos.) I also don't know how to see if it is executable. For the command after extractboot was tar xzf in I did just as it says and "extractboot boot.img. Now I know the file is there because when I type in the "directory"/boot.img it says permission denied. This is why I am lost I seem to have everything right but it just not working for me. Something small and dumb I am missing I know it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
Make sure it is executable. Type this:

chmod a+x extractboot

It seems like you are new to linux in general. Here is a list of things I recommend reading to get up to speed and make your life easier when working with this kind of stuff:

- read up on the "chmod" command

- read up on the "ls" command. with this you can check to see if the file is executable (use -l option)

- read up on how to modify your path (environment variable is $PATH)

- read up on ".bashrc" (can set path variable in here)

good luck
