[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CoreGMRConMan:
I think i only have like 3 posts... but i have been following this thread(s) about ICS on tmo gs2 for a while... Just an observation, but you guys (meaning "those who are limiting activities") realize xboarder is the ONLY person who has been dev'ing the phone for ICS and has also provided evidence to back it up right?

Not only that, but he is 16 and people are getting angry when he feels picked on? because that is clearly what is going on to an outside observer.

Now i get that you have to protect the safety of the devices software is being put on. and i get that there was a dude already that scammed this section. but isn't the goal of this site to breed creative development in an open source environment?

it also doesn't seem very "mod-like" to sprout off, "get off your high horse" to a kid. how long does it take to investigate a situation? and why be so secretive about it? i truly feel if you are going to restrict access from someone who has put forth the effort to do something NO ONE else is doing, you better have a damn good reason that you can share with the members... you know, the ones that drive the numbers that bring in ad revenue....

The site runs off donations not ads
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CoreGMRConMan:
then why are there ads
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hoezack:

He isn't the only one, look at the skyrocket development forums.

I could go on but i'm only going to leave this because this is the only thing I can say that is a fact and not an opinion.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Frogacuda:
But he was when he started, and he was the first to get it booting. So who could he have been copying from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CoreGMRConMan:
Well, i got a google+ ad in the middle of the forum, an att up top... on the main page is a tigerdirect one with advertised items that ive been looking up, on the bottom i have a swiffer sweeper ad [i dont mop, so wtf]. do you have adblock on or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
Doh! Forgot I added an adblock to chrome.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

That's not what you said, You said he was the only one working on it. No one said he was copying from anyone. Xboarded is working on the Evervol (sp?) system, and Jomiester is building off of the msm8660 source. Different angles but the same goal.

Does it really matter who started it first?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CoreGMRConMan:
Actually I said he was the only one... and it was my understanding that skyrocket roms werent working well on our phones? [i could be wayyyy off base there]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
I'm confused, Anyways... Doesn't matter.

Skyrocket ROMs work perfectly find on our phone, Because of the orientation of the accelerometer the rotation is flipped in them. This can be fixed by either turning Auto-Rotation off or by flashing a compatible T989 kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CoreGMRConMan:
It doesn't. But I assume they use the money to pay "rent" and keep the lights on. Lose the hits, lose the money for hosting. Lose the hosting, lose the site.

I am not claiming people are making profits, i have NO clue on that. But The ability to run a site and not pay out of your own pocket is due to ad revenue. And ad revenue is a luxury granted by your visitors loyalty and viewership.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] runbadgerrun:
OK. Made the mistake of loading xboarders ics preview on my SGS II. Now I am more anxious than ever for ICS on my phone. Super smooth and love all the little details like transitions and graphics.

Thank you xboarder for all your work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] orlandoxpolice:
I dont really understand the hate for xda mods here...

XDA has a huge user base and is very well known. If you post here and develop a ROM and post it, you will get a lot of feedback, help, criticism, praise, etc. It is a great community.

the site that xboarder linked basically has no community (not a dig, it is a new site and i most likely will register), but lots of forums with 0 posts.

so, in theory, it would be almost a bait move, going to xda, posting dev stuff, getting a ton of fans, and then linking back to the register site to get more users. if it is an ad based site, it would generate more revenue. not to say it is in this case, which it isnt, but for xda policy i think it is warranted in order to stop people from doing things like that.

I am just trying to think logically about the situation. I think it is a good idea to keep development within a community with the most users, and not make people go to another site that requires registration.

just my 2 cents, and xboarder, i appreciate the hard work, and keep it up :-)

edit: the mods arent even developers for the phone, so i dont know where that idea comes from...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phenom43:
Like seriously guys. Appreciate the work everyone puts in who cares who has done what. I just bought an htc sensation yesterday and there are 8 counted ics roms... There is no drama on that forum. That phone is not even closer to this phone... This phone is a beast... We have paid almost 550 plus tax for the cell please keep all the drama aside and develop something that this beast deserves... I seriously am drooling for ics on this phone... Keep personal problems out of these threads please and make this phone even better by bestowing it with ics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xboarder56:
Mine all ready has ics just not fully working :P

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xboarder56:
The reason im leaving ks not becuase of jay its becuase im not a developer on xda any more to them

They revoked my dev tag which i clearly know how to make roms but whatever
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Yeah I just noticed that. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noellenchris:
Cleaned up thread a bit, I know this is a general thread, but it's really a lot of trash talk not related to the topic of Xboarder ICS. Hopefully everyone can move along and brush off any hurt feelings and work on ICS for our phones. Hope to still see you around here Xboarder.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:

Thanks man I relized that after a few days
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Charlie Brown:
Using your roms many times I know as well as MANY of us here that you ARE a developer! Always enjoyed your work!

X just do your thing man! If I were you I would write it in your sig... "yeah I'm a developer but whatever." hahaha that would rule!

From a Galaxy far far away ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Jesus some of you people are ridiculous.

What do you do all day, find people on the internet to flame and ridicule while you sit on your fatass having not seen the sun in weeks? Making up drama the only place you can, on a computer screen? Try playing outside our making some friends instead of pretending you have friends and power on the internet. Because at the end of the day nobody reasonable cares about you or your life or anything about your internet existence.

rant over...didn't rant to anyone in particular...you people know who you are. Kudos to the mods trying to work this out making the community better.

xboarder...don't let these people force you out. Post wherever you want and wherever you deserve to. again I support you, hope everything works out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] S7UDi0:
How far off are we off from seeing a working ICS rom on the Hercules or SkyRocket? i bought this phone (TMO), love the hardware. but nobody (ANYWHERE) seems to be able to answer this question ? O_o i understand Samsung has too release drivers for ICS and such, but what gives ?

Seems to me, Android is becoming saturated with PHONES.....

Sorry for the RANT, i just can't find answers?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
its just samsung taking forever and t-mobile being stingy. They can't make any money off of updates. So they don't.

Xboarder really has something good. His is the most promising ICS rom I've seen so far. We just have to be patient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -greenboy-:
This is not correct.

If they will not release the update soon, they won't able to sell the this phone in future.

People will probably wait another few months and then will buy the phone which comes with ICS.

They are not fool and thats the reason they said from the beginning this phone will get ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] S7UDi0:
This is my EXACT reason for the question i posted!!!!! same answer, same answer.

OVER SATURATION OF PHONES !!!!!! Unbelievable ! LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
You would think...but if that was the case...they would have pushed it out as fast as they could so they could be "hey look, our flagship is one of the few with ICS..."

I hate carriers...and manufacturers...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JWhipple:
First rule of XDA - DO NOT ask for ETA's!

All this does is piss the devs off - you're pushing them to do something that they do for free, out of the goodness of their hearts. Piss them off and they will walk away. I can't say I blame them. You yell at me that I am not doing something fast enough (ESPECIALLY when I do it for free!) and I will INTENTIONALLY slow down - if not quit completely!

Do what everyone else has said to do - BE PATIENT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] S7UDi0:
LOL, Right ! when did TMo become so entirely WACKO? the phones they throw out are garbage. i bought the TMo SG2 for the hardware. i have a GNEX gsm and a NS. but i figured with what the S2 had, would trump those phones. boy was i wrong. o_O

I'm NOT at all trying to be RUDE, but i thought this was the "General" section? i was just asking other people, not devs?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
How are people supposed to know when dev will be done?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JWhipple:
They will tell you when they are done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Thats not an ETA hes asking for ETAs from people. I follow up xboarders posts but I couldnt tell you when he is going to be done because I dont get to stand over his shoulders as he is working and even if I did how am I supposed to know how long will it take for him to do something like troubleshoot 4g.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JWhipple:
WOW - some people just don't get it !

Even HE doesn't know - he'll be done when he's done!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Thats been my point since the beginning, read the sentence you quoted rather than skimming it.

Hah, I thanked him for you.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

... They don't need to sell too many more handsets because:

1. they are still currently on top with ICS or not.

2. MOST consumers don't know or care about the different android releases

3. They will put out a new handset soon enough and they will still sell a lot of them.

If the people who care don't buy from them again it will probably be a tiny percentage of sales difference, but if they put updates on the back burner while putting out a new device they will make more money.

They have been doing this for years, I have the feeling they probably know what they are doing even if it's not quite fair.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Col.Kernel:
And exactly what have you developed again? I mean besides an attitude....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
I don't have to develop anything to have an opinion. All this **** is just hype, sorry for bursting your nut riding bubble. I have contributed everywhere I have gone with non-biased information. I wrote guides in the infancy of HD2 NAND that helped more devs cook more ROMS for the best device ever. I carried on PSFreedom long after it was abandoned. This is an open forum and if you don't like the freedom of speech feel free to close the window or move to a country where people can't speak their mind.

hello everyone

today i see some People install Ubuntu on Android phone!

http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/

chacha can do?

my English is bad
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yep, it should work. I installed Ubuntu with LXDE on a Desire at work 2 days ago. The main problem is that you will use VNC which lags the hell out of the phone and ubuntu.
[HTC ChaCha] mack_murphy:
chacha can do this?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
The hardware on both phones is quite similar. So yeah, ChaCha should be able to do this.
[HTC ChaCha] abc_x3:
can i know the reason why u need to install ubuntu on ur mobile phone?

Because ubuntu is not a Mobile OS, it is designed to run in Desktop or Server platform and it use more resource than a Mobile.

If u miss Terminal, Android have it - Terminal mobile (without help) :D

If u only want to show the posibility of Android phone, u can try Vmwre on Android, i saw my friend install and run sucessfully Windows 7 on his Android ^^
[HTC ChaCha] CanYouSmell:
I didn't know that there is vmware for android
[HTC ChaCha] luzifer1984:
Amazing! I want to have a try later.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forever Justice:
Needing some replies/help. Wanting to convert to mtd, what do i need and which rom is best? Second, i went back to 16gb sd card cause i was having issues with 32gb after awhile. Is there something i need to have a better sync/communication between the two? And thinking about cm9 , honest opinion?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
CleanGB MTD will convert you and works very well. CM9 works well also. Back up with Titanium backup and you can restore your apps. Not sure about the sd card issue.

have u tried another 32g sdcard to see if it give you the same problems that you were having with ur current sdcard?

so no backtracking just flash mtd rom? I never updated to el30, does that matter?

[Epic 4G General] jessydm:
Hi

I am looking to see if someone have paid version of cdma ware. I have purchased a legit copy and my license is valid until version 3.7 . Owners of cdma wont send me updated version of software as they send link whenever they release new versions and the download link in those email is valid only for short period of time. I never bothered to download since i bought in August..since i never had need to use it.

I am not asking for a cracked version or pirated version, I am asking only legit copy of exe as I have my own valid license.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
You're asking in the wrong place. Even if your story is true, you're still asking for a copy of paid software through illegitimate channels - warez
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
I mean if the executable requires a license, and he has one. Then its not warez, because it doesn't work off the bat, no?
[Epic 4G General] xTmDarren:
Correct.. This would not be warez..
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
If it requires a license, why is the download link also limited? In my experience, if a license is required, either it can be entered into the shareware version (if one exists) to activate full functionality, or the full version can be downloaded but has no functionality until a valid license is supplied. This double-layered protection is unlikely, but even if it is true then he needs to talk to the company for a legitimate aquisition of the software (if he has already paid for it, then why would they refuse?)

I own a Wii, and can legally make backups of my games, but it is still illegal to download backups that I didn't make myself (even if I own the original disk). There are always ways to get a legitimate copy, but asking for someone else to provide a copy here is not one of those ways. Any illegitimate method of aquiring software equates to software piracy, aka warez
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Email or contact the developer of the app and they will provide you a new link.
[Epic 4G General] jayharper08:
If you have the license then you need to contact them again or whatever you have to do.

As far as asking here, it is warez no matter how you look at it. Consider this a warning since I'm in a good mood today.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zerosource:
I just got the case today. So I wanna share.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
It looks super sexy. Any screen shots with the phone in the case? I might want one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zerosource:
I took photos from the phone itself so...

Maybe here will help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1m-5nc63dQ

FYI: the lock snap is not very tight, but it does what it is there for. It is, indeed, sexy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Looks nice... I will check back when you give a durability update down the road :) looks like something I may break as often as I drop my phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] FranzDages:
I've ordered this case for my Amaze, but haven't got it yet. I've had the same case for previous phones. As for the lock snap, bend the tab a little so that it locks better.

I heat bulky cases...
[HTC Amaze 4G] hd2joel:
Aluminum with a thin layer of anti scratch stuff, so what absorbs the shock when you drop it? Looks like the aluminum would dent and break your phone. Dosent look like a lot of protection to me. D3O all the way. No im not so girly that the buttons are to hard to push. Dont be weak people its made like that on purpose so if its dropped on a button........ U finish that.

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdyates:
I have the D30 too. It's sexy and protective as hell. Doesn't seem to let any dust in either :D

Sent from my ICS Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
To what temp and what method do you use. Also what benefits would I see. Will it decrease mass or weight. Is it like a tempering process. I am super intrigued! :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
Damn just noticed it said heat... Ment to say hate bulky cases.. d30 case keeps the phone protected and keeps it slim
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
Heh, no worries. I was really entertaining myself there. I rock the D30 too. Is yours black or were there any other colors that came out after I got mine. There were a bunch of girly colors and black when I went into the store.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I hate my D3O

It does the trick, but the raised screen bezel isn't fully protected, the damn thing weighs as much as the phone, and its almost impossible to push the power button on top.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I agree, except well, I've gotten used to it and like it now, lol, except for the unprotected bezel, which I'm hoping it never falls on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
I like the idea of an aluminum case but sorry it looks ugly to me. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
I use Llama to create a "Screen Off" shortcut that turns screen off for for me. I wake the phone with one of the camera buttons. Only time the stiff power button annoys is when I want to restart ... but I also take the D30 off at home sometimes, so it's no great sacrifice.

I had the 1-piece D30 and didn't like how it didn't wrap around the backshell entirely. I switched to the 2-piece "band" cover and love it, great protection for the phone all 'round.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yeah I've got the 1 pc and for last two wks, I've been carrying my phone naked and VERY VERY CAREFULLY :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
For those of you having trouble pushing the buttons with the d30 case all you have to do is with a blade cut the sides or top and bottom around the power/camera buttons. Only being held in place by 2 sides depending where the cut was. I hope this makes sense lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yeah I saw someone post that before... If I have to cut out my own cutouts, then the case isn't worth buying. Not when other cases don't have that problem.

Either way, I prefer my Amaze to not have a case.... It's natural feel is awesome
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
I swear by the Trident Kraken AMS, that sucker is a tank of a case, and doubles as a plain rubber case if i don't want the bulk (which is never)

only thing I hate is the belt clip, but thats because i was so used to the otterbox style beforehand, and the fact it doesn't have the built in screen protector but meh thats what invisible sheild is for
