Another one of these threads?

You realize that the CM team would fall into the same problems that the Android team currently does. At last count, there have been just over 1,000,000 unique Cyanogenmod installs... There are 850,000 Android handsets activated

every day

, from different manufacturers, carriers, regions, etc..

Believe it or not, it gets very hard to support devices when that many are sold. By comparison it is easy to support 1,000,000 installs. A small fraction of which are actually updating nightly. As far as custom ROMs go, CM covers a large # of devices and does it well, but to assume because they can handle that they could handle running an entire phone manufacturer is laughable.

OP, massive leak on the next ICS update for the Galaxy Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
now that was funny!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
The problem is this:

Google has no balls. These companies are making bank on phones without any or very low software costs.

What is needed is a better end user experience and to get that they have to get fragmentation under control. It doesn't need to go away it just can't be the retardation that currently is Android.

They need to do the following:

User should be able to choose between AOSP and custom skins for every device. This ends the lack of updates and compatibility issues that crop up with sense, blur etc.

Custom skins and apps should all be uninstallable. No bloat if the user doesn't want it.

They need to get hardware variance under control to help developers with compatibility. Its getting crazy trying to support all these different devices. We need far fewer hardware revisions and a tad more uniform releases. No reason to have 20 different handsets every year complicating everything from drivers, app compatibility, updates etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Clipped, but all of what you said makes sense, to me, an advanced n00b who may not have the technical insight to understand all the implications.

How many devices has ICS officially been rolled out for? 2, maybe 3 (sticking to phones here). Code has been out for ~5 months (?). Android is great, but its popularity has led to a plethora of devices with dramatically differing hardware and it takes a lot of work to make it work. To keep device manufacturers happy I'm sure this means sacrifices have to be made at the Google level in order for ICS to work on whichever strange collection of hardware components go into Phone X.

I wouldn't like to see hardware dictated across the board, variation is great, but it would be better if there were a very small collection of basic ingredients going into the cornucopia of phones, each with their own HW specs, often questionable.

I'm happy I used plethora and cornucopia in the same post.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lanwarrior:
As the subject states, I successfully connected my BT mouse and keyboard to the GT 7+. However, I noticed that the mouse movement stutters heavily and keyboard press lag. For example:

1). WITHOUT running any applications (I use Samsung RAM Manager to kill everything), I move the mouse from STOP and there was about 0.5 - 1 seconds before the GT7+ register the movement and move the mouse. When I stop moving the mouse and then move it again, the same thing happened.

2). When I type in, say browser (Dolphin, built-in, doesn't matter), there was the same delay before what I type show up on the screen.

I never have this problem with the ASUS TF. Is this GT7+ issue?

Those who uses BT mouse and keyboard, can you confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] danrex:
Are you experiencing this problem still? What model kb & mouse? I'm thinking about buying a BT kb & mouse/touchpad to use with my Tab Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
I sometimes use a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 with my GT-P6210.

I sometimes notice some delay in the characters appearing on screen. The lag seems to happen less when I don't use the "Samsung keypad" (instead opting for the "Hacker's keyboard" app), but there are still occasional delays.

That said, this keyboard is certainly usable for me.

I haven't tried a mouse.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lanwarrior:
Yes it does. I use Amazon Basic Bluetooth Keyboard (search it in Amazon) and Logitech Bluetooth mouse (m555b model).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] denniskung68:
i am experiencing the same issues, using my FelTouch Magic touchpad as keyboard and mouse. especially the mouse issue is really annoying. ...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] RayLovesick:
I can confirm this. There's a very similar thread in the 7.7 Accessories forum as well.

I've seen this issue arise when using any "input" type bluetooth device. I have both an iControlPad and a keyboard. When playing games, if I don't press a button for a few seconds, and then press one, the response is a bit delayed (more so than normal, and noticeable) - this is the issue reported in the OP. After that, pressing buttons works normally (at least until another sufficiently long pause).

However, I've also noticed that a key or button being held down, if held down for too long (I think 3+ seconds), will cause the tablet to repeat that letter (or action) multiple times for a second or two. If the same key is held down for just a few seconds (only 1 or 2), the letter or action will stop repeating immediately after I've let go of the key.

I've reported this issue to Samsung, but no response yet. This issue does not exist on my Motorola Razr Maxx (on the contrary - I'm actually amazed by the response time when using the iControlPad).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
I want to mention that I was having buggy/delay issues when using a bluetooth barcode scanner in HID mode with the GT-P6210. Switching to SPP mode avoided all the delays/bugs. Perhaps you could try a mouse or keyboard which supports SPP connections.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] RayLovesick:
Alright, quick update. I originally emailed their support about this issue, and they responded that I should call their support department, which I just did. It's a quick, direct line to someone who seems to know what they're talking about, which was a nice surprise!

Anyway, I reported the issues in this thread, and she seemed to understand what I was saying, and that she'd hand that on to people who could reproduce the issue. Hopefully this makes it into the next update! I did make a point to ask about ICS, but she couldn't tell me any details :(

Also: k_t_b, the iControlPad does have an SPP mode (in addition to a HID mode), and both modes result in the same noticeable delay. I'm not sure if that's just an issue with the device, or what. I've heard of people using Wii remotes and PS3 controllers to connect, and I wonder if they've run into these same issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] RayLovesick:
After flashing the new ICS leak for GT-P6210 (UK), it seems that the bluetooth stutter issue has been FIXED! Keyboard and iControlPad now work flawlessly! Will update if I run i to any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jorgedarklourds:
I have the same problem with a samsung, that there is a delay with bluetooth HID input devices, tell me if it is hardware or software failure

I downloaded the Xperia S apps pack and tried to install the home.apk manually but it didn't work, then after than i ran the Install.cmd and it says failed when installing it. Anybody help?
[General Questions and Answers] nprosper:
Ok, So I have tried APKTool and APK Manager and I searched on here but I couldn't find any more updated information. So I have to ask, are there any apps out there to help decompile applications.

I have the updated Android SDK, frameworks, Java SDK, Eclipse and all the goodies installed, but I am trying to find a way to decompile an APK to view its code, graphics, and the rest of its guts. I have no interest in re-writing an application by "stealing" someone else's work. I just want to get a understanding how some basic applications run and the brains behind it.

Any help would be much appreciated

-Nick
[General Questions and Answers] felixker:
As far as I understand, upon compilation, chances are you can decompile quite a fair bit of the content. But not all, because some has turned into language that only the processor should recognise.

But again, maybe I'm not updated enough.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

For the record, I don't own a Nook, nor do I know the first thing about it, but I am here for a friend.

He is considering getting one of these:

http://www.n2acards.com/

The strength of that is of course that it's plug and play and it does NOT void anything from Nook, in terms of warranty and etc. I read through some text here and online in general, but nothing seems to clear it, beyond a doubt for me, that the solution mirrors what they claim on that website.

Seeing how every one of these solutions are born on the XDA, I thought I'd drop a line here and ask you guys exactly which thread/method, and etc do I use from here to mirror exactly what they claim on that site, with an SD Card of my own?

I understand it MAY not be possible and buying it might be the only option, still, appreciate all your help in advance, thank you for reading...

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ProFragger:
Thanks for your response! Can anyone confirm that the method those N2A guys are using is the same EXACT method that Albert Wertz used in his SD Cards?

If so, then how can the site folks claim that your Nook will NOT lose Factory Warranty when using their method, when the Albert Wertz method actually roots the device and etc?

Just confused, appreciate ANY help, thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
N2A cards do not modify the device. At all. Using an sdcard to root/flash internal rom modifies the device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hookedonnook:
try this one

Albert recently uploaded a new video showing how to boot from the sd card alone. This method will not change your NT at all, thereby leaving your warranty intact.

Hope the video shows this is my first attempt...if not the vid is: CM7 SD ROM, Turn anyone's Nook Tablet into yours without Root
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
Take $35, flush it down the toilet. Then make your SD card for free.

Should be a very similar experience.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ProFragger:
fattire, I couldn't agree with you more. I have been a member of XDA and an Android modder for a while, but because I don't own the NT, this has been hard for me to put 2 and 2 together, as I am doing this for a friend.

I hear the method they have to n2a.com or whatever has been stolen from XDA. I'd rather donate to the member here on XDA, than give my money to those idiots.

But I am extremely confused... can someone give me the link to the thread that uses the EXACT method that those N2A guys used? One that DOESN'T void any warranties and etc?

I would really appreciate it, thanks guys!

I would assume this is what you're after. Can't say this is exactly what they are using though.

Thanks Morohtar,

That looks promising...

Can others please confirm that this is the method that you Nook2Android.com guys are using?

Thank you very much for your help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
I don't think you fully understand.

The N2A guys are likely not here. The people that are here are either using N2A cards, that were already created. Or they are creating cards via the rom in that thread.

In other words, the N2A company allows a user to buy an sd card that they can insert in their nook and boot into CM7 (Android 2.3.4), without modifying the internal memory (i.e. modifying the nook in any way).

You can however do the exact same thing and create the exact same card yourself by following directions and using the rom in the linked thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ProFragger:
Thanks Cubanluke88!

Yeah, I understood those guys aren't here, what I understand is that they are using a method of creating their N2A cards using one of the methods on XDA, and I just wanted to make sure I used your expertise to find EXACTLY the method that they're using to get the same version of Android.

Can you confirm the method in that thread posted in the last post DOES NOT alter the Nook memory or root it or void any warranty?

Thanks for everyone's help on this!

Hey guys and gals.

My contracts up next month (finally) and I'm torn between a shiny new phone or a dirt cheap contract, what are you planning to do?

My thoughts are swinging towards cheap contract as I'm always near wifi most of the day, mainly use my phone for offline video and music and I barely call anyone and use Facebook messenger instead.

[Desire General] Ecno92:
I really don't know. The hardware of the desire is pretty good, but it depends on if they can make ICS running well on the desire. I've used the beta ICS rom for 3 days and it was really fast, but full of bugs. If they could fix these I will continue my desire for a longer time otherwise I'll get another phone. (First world problem... argh :D)

[Desire General] dgattenb:
There are a few things I do not like about my desire :

The screen , a bit small now ( I have a 10" tablet .. ) but the phone does fit in my pockets.

The lack of RAM .. this is a BIGGY !!...

My back button has peeled off...

All this is annoying , but I need a new phone .. may get one in june... ( go sim only for a while ) one X or Xperia S.. ( so far XS is winning )

I'd like the ION as I have a 32 GB card!!!!!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
keeping desire for now.

one x and one s are disappointing for me at the moment - sad there's no removable battery or microSD.

i also have a nice 32gb microsd to use in a phone :p and 32GB -> 26GB usable is a tad annoying when you have a microSD free

will maybe see how the next Samsung range looks like - besides I have no contract (or a cheap no-phone contract actually) so I have to buy my phone outright - so I've been pondering on getting a cheap sensation or evo3d recently...
[Desire General] stormleader:
a shiny new phone for sure :D

I'm getting either

HTC ONE X "Your quad-core-powered entertainer"

OR just settle for

HTC Velocity 4G (price will go down as soon as the ONE is released)
[Desire General] BashyUK:
Contract wise, depends if you can afford to buy new model outright or not, simple. f you don't have 4-500 lying around then you have no choice because as for the hardware...Definite upgrade the Desire, although a monster in terms of the customisation it has had and still has, it'ss still no match for today's h/w and there's no doubt these new devices will be customised to the hilt too...all about the HTC One X (although yes, no microsd is big bug bear but at least it's 32GB) and the SGS3. Although if you can't wait for either of them there's no reason to leave out the SGS2 (buy it outright then sell later on). The Desire will never perform as good as the above no matter what hacks you do and the fact you have to hack to get to the same base level as the above should give you the answer in itself.
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
I am considering HTC one s or x. In that order.. but, I have no real need to upgrade. ;-)

[Desire General] Cursa:
My contract (2 years with Orange, £17 p/m, free phone) is also coming to an end in a couple of months, so the issue of 'what next?' is quite important right now for me.

As much as I love the freshness of Sandvold's ICS rom, it does make clear the hardware limitations of my Desire, particularly the small RAM and constant annoyance regarding the tiny internal memory, so I reckon I'll probably move on to a shiny new phone. Hopefully, the Galaxy Nexus if I can find it cheap enough (cheapest I've seen it is £330 out of contract, sim free).
[Desire General] MrWhippyHasAnIceCreamVan:

I have loved the desire but i am sorely tempted to get the new One X sim free when it hits the uk next month.

I don't think I'll get another HTC, the lack of being able to see the screen in direct sunlight is a deal breaker, especailly next to my bros galaxy s. With regards to hardware limitations, is the ram really that bad? My desire plays video and music and can access t'interweb. The only thing that grinds my gears is the camera is rubbish since going to custom Roms. I've found a contract that works out to £2 a month after cash back with enough data and minutes to still enjoy the pleasures of a contract, plus sky sports mobile which I will eventually find a hack to get working on my TV.

I worked out I'll save about £600 over 2 years, then double once the wife has paid off her hardware aswell. Works out pretty damn good.

If you don't use many minutes and usually near WiFi, you can go the pay as you go route. $10 for 2500 msgs, $0.25/minute for calling and pay for data if you get stuck in the woods. (all these numbers vary from carrier to carrier) This plan with an outright desire has been pretty good :)
