Hello everyone, i found this link to a petition from a signature of a senior member somewhere in the galaxy s II forum, but after clicking the link, I found out that it was a petition for samsung to completely make android more open to the public and so that developers could have a less hard time in porting new roms, customizing their devices, etc. Just click the link to learn more. Thanks :D http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-mobile-help-third-party-development-achieve-full-potential-of-purchased-devices#

EDIT: Here are the exact reasons posted in that petition site, none of the words used will be coming from me, all of the words inside the quotation marks will be the property of the linked site I have given above.

"Samsung Mobile releases many mobile devices worldwide, yet has an unfortunate reputation for being somewhat slow to update devices to the latest firmware version. This leaves users open to security vulnerabilities, which is detrimental to the experience of paying users.

We, the undersigned, petition Samsung Mobile to release as much as is possible to third party developers (in particular, driver libraries and source headers) in order to allow users to obtain full functionality of the device they have paid for, and further the principles of free open source software (FOSS)."

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
So here's a thing.

I've been using and loving my Galaxy Nexus since launch day but one thing has always nagged me. I've always felt that this expansive screen didn't seem that big. I was caught up in the novelty of Ice Cream Sandwich's 'On Screen Buttons' and this new screen relative navigation paradigm to a point that I was glad to give over a large percentage of screen real estate to something that was new and novel.

I now suggest that after prolonged and optimistic use this paradigm is a waste of screen space.

I was swayed by the promise that this section of my precious screen would dynamically adjust and adapt to app specific requirements but as far as I can tell all it does is turn from icons to dots while running some apps and graciously disappears while using 2 (two) other apps (YouTube and Video).

For the most part it stays EXACTLY as it normally appears completely negating the whole point of moving these buttons to the screen!

With the reveal of the HTC OneX, which has pretty much the same sized screen, I've seen what properly used screen real estate can look like. It 'looks' bigger. The screen looks much bigger.

I think Google is wrong in promoting this screen based button layout. Either they change how these buttons persist in the interface and this is supported by 3rd parties or they give the 'whole' screen back to apps. The Galaxy Nexus has a beautiful screen but a 'not insignificant' portion of it is practically useless.

As GNex user what do you think about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dave83uk:
I'm rooted and running aokp b27 so can hide the navigation buttons at a click of a button and have the full screen for all apps. Can then use button savior or similar or the options in the power menu for home back etc.

Want the navigation buttons back again, click of a button again.

Give it a try :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monoxide.tryst:
I think swiping up and down (like the notification pull down) would be awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
This would be awesome indeed!

So you guys know what I mean right? Seems like a waste right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ezcats:
:cool:

Nope...I I like the sleekness of the front without ant buttons on it when it is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
The half pint mod (reducing the nav bar height) is mush more useful. I'm using it at 24dpi and I hardly notice its there and keeps the functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
Yeah me too but I wish they would disappear more often than they do ala Gallery,Video,Youtube.

The HTC OneX is sleek when it is off too. It's only when you turn it one do you see the buttons so its exactly like the GNex but with more usable screen space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
This...I have no on-screen buttons on my GN. 4.65 inches of pure ICS beauty!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
But you

gain

screen space in the same sized chassis because you don't have capacitive buttons down below the screen... You're not any better or worse off screen size-wise when you use on-screen buttons. Its really a wash if you think about it...

I prefer on-screen because they hide when you've got something full-screen up, and they rotate with the UI. And when you turn off the screen, the buttons 100% disappear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
is also use AOKPs setting to hide the nav bar but only when im gonna play games pretty much

theres a way also to use the volume rocker as back and home buttons

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I too think the screen buttons are a wasted opportunity and would disappear more often.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I think they could do it a little bit more, but remember ICS is meant to be more "user friendly" and not as technical. You shouldn't have to read a user manual to know the gestures to hide and restore the buttons.

I think it would be a very very poor decision on Google's part to just have the phone hiding and restoring buttons "randomly" when you enter different apps or modes.

The best thing about this paradigm is that the buttons can be updated with the OS. We aren't stuck with the buttons that come on the hardware. For example right now 2.3-optimized apps rely on the placement of a "menu" soft key in the action bar at the bottom, but as apps are updated we'll no longer see that button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VanillaToppings:
While do agree to TS in a certain capacity but I also think it would make the device very unintuitive for new users which is the point of ICS.

That's why we have custom roms. At least now with gnex, we have the hardware that to make it happen if the user choose to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jethro1138:
The lack of physical buttons was one of my major considerations in getting the Galaxy Nexus rather than waiting for the HTC One X. That and the lack of removable battery. And the not wanting to wait. But I digress (:

ICS is designed to work with the soft buttons, and I've been enjoying how well they work on my Touchpad. So far I'm loving them on the Galaxy Nexus. To me they seem to get out of the way fairly often.

Another thing - I'm coming from a Nexus One. The funny thing about the Nexus One's capacitive buttons are that they do not work very well while wearing gloves. Even thin gloves. The rest of the screen works just fine, but switching apps, or bringing up the menu, or starting a search are all near impossible with gloves on.

With the Galaxy Nexus' soft buttons, everything is screen, so everything always works!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
One thing for sure, youtube videos on wifi HQ look friggin FANTASTIC on this phone. No buttons and pure minimal black front, its truly beautiful. Buttons would diminish that effect/look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
The HTC One X is actually slightly shorter than the Nexus, while having a slightly bigger screen.

On-screen buttons are a better solution to physically separated buttons in my opinion. The issue is that the Galaxy Nexus should be considered as a 'beta' for this type of implementation. Not only because the software isn't perfect, but also because of the physical attributes of the device. The space above and below the screen is far too much, and perhaps this is due to current technological limitations. Look at the space below your screen - you 'could' easily get a set of capacitive buttons in there.

If the spaces below and above the screen were reduced by 0.5cm each, the OP would have never made this complaint, as his device would be much more compact than a device with equivalent screen size and capacitive buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
This is true and when I saw a video on YouTube comparing the GNex with the OneX it just struck me that the on screen buttons of the GNex were just taking up screen for no real functional gain whatsoever.

They rotate. Big deal. That makes no difference to functionality. I'd rather more screen.

They disappear. Rarely. When they do we all love how the screen looks. The OneX will be like that ALL THE TIME.

Their behaviour is inconsistent across applications. They disappear completely when viewing video (awesome) but we get three dots when viewing images. Why?

Check out the side by side comparison between the GNex and OneX and you can clearly see that both are the same sized phone but the OneX has SIGNIFICANTLY more available screen real estate. A LOT MORE.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF9bhcNV5wU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

One of the things I love the most about the GNex is how minimalist it looks when turned off. Just a black slab. No buttons. But this is the same for many phones with capacitive buttons that turn off with the screen.

I simply cannot see any benefit to having on screen buttons *as it is currently implemented* in Ice Cream Sandwich.

Another thing to consider with persistent on screen buttons is the issue of screen burn in on AMOLED screens. A lot of GNex owners have started to see this already myself included. While this is an issue with the hardware it is a well know issue with AMOLED screens yet Google went ahead regardless.

I love the GNex but I'm now waiting to see what the SIII has to offer. If I'm going to the trouser busting bother of carrying around a large screen I want to get use out of it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p011uX:
Changing the scaling of objects on screen will allow for more space on the screen. Plus, I think it looks nicer. Why not utilize the screen? xD

This thread covers how todo so. Though, some roms do have a modification option built in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
I've just Rooted (Finally!) and flashed AOKP b27 and IT'S AWESOME!!!

Amongst many other cool things it enables you to change the dpi for the Nav Bar making it really thin and freeing up loads of screen space while keeping full functionality!

Sha-WHEET!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastasauce:
Does resolution seem stretched at all? I figure that these apps would compensate by just simply stretching the screen to cover the empty space?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
I don't think apps stretch at all, they will just have a black border around if they don't fit. 99% of apps scale perfectly, it's down to bad coding if they don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
No stretching whatsoever. Circles are still circles.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I prefer Button Savior over LMT. With LMT gestures require 2 fingers and the pie is hit or miss a lot of times or gets in the way when using apps.

Button Savior seems more consistent and I do not see any lag that some have mentioned.

Holy crap. Thanks to this thread I lost an hour installing AXI0M and LOVING IT.

They should create a hidden button on left corner that hides/shows the nav bar.

Hi,

This my first post and I´ve search and I´ve tried diferent replies before ask the following question.

We have two HTC HD2 models:

PB81100 HX-BC

and

PB81100 SS-BC

I know the differences, one is Hynix based chipset and the other one is a Samsung based chipset.

Our problem is that when we install IceCreamTosti v0.x, the HD2 SS-BC hangs and sometimes it restart itself.

I´ve tried to modify DIP, CPU speed but I´ve always same return, hangs or resets.

I´ve installed NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.4 too and this ROM works fine but I want IceCreamTosti v0.9.

Please, could you help me????:confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I apologize if this has been answered already, but I couldn't find anything about it. I have all of my music from iTunes synced with Google Music, which I can listen to on my phone. Anything new I add to iTunes will automatically be synced into Google Music, and that's great. But I would like the reverse to be applicable as well. I want the music I download on my phone from various websites and apps to be synced to Google Music, so when I log into Google Music on my laptop, the songs I downloaded on my phone will show up there (the website). Is there any way to make this possible? The music I downloaded from my phone will show up in the Google Music App on my phone, but it apparently doesn't sync it to the Google Music servers. I've tried many things, such as making the songs "available offline," but to no avail. Is this just impossible to do? Do I need to put the music in some sort of folder so that it will be synced with Google Music servers? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theherodrownd:
There is no way to do this as of now. The app doesn't upload to Google Music services.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Ah, I see. Well thanks for enlightening me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrldtreker:
I'm not sure how much music you're downloading, but you can probably try to automate it as much as possible using Dropbox. Trying to find something similar brought me to this link: lifehacker.com/5501200/how-to-automatically-sync-any-song-you-download-to-itunes. From there you can continue to automatically sync to Google Music. It seems a bit convoluted, but once it's set up, it may suit your needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Wow. This is really interesting and great! Although it would take a little effort to find all my music on my SD card and then upload that to my dropbox, and then have it sync to iTunes, it might be worth it. Also, this might create duplicates in the Google Music app on my phone (i.e. Google Music recognizes new music in iTunes, uploads it to the server, and now on my phone app, it has that particular song on SD card and Google Music servers). But nevertheless, thanks!

Hi guys!

I hope someone can help me pinpoint this issue. It is going to force me to return my shiny new TPT if I can't find a fix soon.

Every time I try to search gmail, the TPT starts looping through a weird refressh with a green flicker and sometimes kicks me back to the inbox.

I don't get it!

I've updated to the latest firmware and am currently running .0086.US

Has anyone gotten this to work right? Is it just a bad tablet?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Here is good news everybody:

Read this article:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Asus...st-with-the-Android-Jelly-Bean-update_id27625

If you dont want to read that here is a synopsis:

-"Asus is very close to Google, so once they have Android 5.0 I think there will be a high possibility that we will be the first wave to offer the Jelly Bean update."

-"Android Jelly Bean could come first from Asus."

-Asus is close to Google, and it will likely be in the first wave to offer the Jelly Bean update. You know, just like Asus was the first to offer the Ice Cream Sandwich update after that was released.

-So, yes, Asus will likely be in the first wave to offer the Jelly Bean update, and could even be the first 3rd party manufacturer to offer the update after whatever Nexus device launches Android 5.0.

So those are the main quotes that excited me, i know we might not see this until summer if the rumors are true but it does excite me!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I'd prefer ics support before they abandon it for the next best thing... but it is in their nature.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redbullcat:
Does anyone care? Jelly Bean will likely be October time, so I'm not really bothered at this point. All the Jelly Bean stuff is interesting, but I'm just getting into ICS and CM9 right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good find Tyler. very good chance prime will get it first after nexus phone. I like the comment in article that Said we shouldn't be surprised by this As Asus is the only company that knows the fastest routes to Android updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
So, yes, let's take any positive about ASUS and do our level best to turn it into a negative. That's become the true nature of this forum.

Look, the fact that ASUS is quick to provide updates is one of the things that separates them from the rest of the Android tablet makers. For as long as Honeycomb was shipping on the original Transformer, ASUS did a bang-up job of supporting it. We have absolutely no reason to believe they won't do the same with ICS on the Prime.

But what are you saying--that ASUS should delay moving to the next Android upgrade until they have all the bugs worked out with the previous version? Since each major Android release is inherently improved upon the preceding release, simply upgrading solves many of the problems. Certainly, ICS fixed many of the inherent problems with Honeycomb, and we can expect Jelly Bean to do the same for ICS.

How in the world could one construe ASUS's pattern of providing timely updates and the industry's quickest upgrade to the latest Android version as a bad thing?!?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
What people need to realize is that ICS was really a transitional OS. Honeycomb was pushed out the door for tablets before it was ready...the original intent for Honeycomb is that it would have been a bridge between tablets and phones (like ICS is today). But because the tablet market exploded like it did, Google had to rush to get a functional OS out the door. Gingerbread really wasn't cutting it (and tablet makers were shoving that onto tablets just so that they an Android OS on them) and was making Google look bad. So they took what they were working on for ICS, made it tablet it only, called it Honeycomb, then went back to work on ICS to bridge phones/tablets.

Jellybean (stupid names...ICS, Jellybean. Sheesh) will be the first major update (if you accept that Honeycomb was really an early version of ICS) since Gingerbread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Actually, I disagree. Honeycomb was the transitional build, specifically the one to allow some kind of competitive Android tablet to be made. ICS, on the other hand, is a far more polished OS, and should really be taken as the true upgrade from Gingerbread.

That said, I do agree that Jelly Bean could be a more significant upgrade in terms of overall functionality, which is why I'm excited to see ASUS reiterate their commitment to providing timely upgrades.

Oh, and: "stupid names"? I think Google has gotten considerable mileage out of their dessert-themed naming convention. EVERYBODY uses Google's terms, which is pretty much the textbook definition of successful promotions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
Understand the difference between fixing an operating system and installing a new one.

Installing ice cream sandwich doesn't fix honeycomb anymore than installing windows 7 fixes vista. I don't need a new operating system with new bugs, why not just fix the old bugs before you move on to find new ones?

I would say that asus should delay future products in order to maintain their previous ones. But it seems as though that is too much to ask for.

In the end none of this really matters because I'm not running a stock rom, but perhaps if OEMs took better care of their operating systems I wouldn't need a custom rom.
