[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kent Melton:
I have my HTC Vivid rooted and on HoliRaider v1.6. I really wanted to use the rom Rum Float Beta, which is ics. I tried to find the steps for updating to this but i get kinda confused... If anyone could help me that would be great!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
Taken from a similar thread...........

the RUU or the methods that thecubed and i have laid out will get you the necessary HBOOT/RADIO/etc that you will need to flash a custom ICS rom

either method will get you the same thing....an updated HBOOT and ICS

if you run the bootloader unlock tool from htcdev, YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR SETTINGS! it will wipe the device like its brand new......do NOT include this in your dreams of getting backups prior to flashing a custom rom....

please just read through the posts and understand what is going on.

in order for ICS to happen on your vivid you need the new HBOOT, Radio, and various other components that the RUU/PH39IMG contain

there are 3 different roads you can follow to get there, the EASIEST being just run the RUU (WHICH WILL ALSO WIPE SETTINGS!), afterwards, reboot to bootloader, unlock bootloader, reboot to fastboot, fastboot flash the boot.img and the recovery.img of your choice on (limited on boot.img's at the moment, better use the one from the rom), reboot to recovery and flash the rom

the other methods imply you understand somewhat how the process works.

relock bootloader (if unlocked), run PH39IMG install, unlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery and boot.img, reboot to recovery and flash rom.....

if you wrap your head around HOW it works, its all really simple....so the first step is understanding HOW it works, not blindly following some tutorial or walkthrough.

please try to LEARN and UNDERSTAND what it is you are doing....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kent Melton:
The thing that is getting me is how I have to Lock the bootloader again. Do I just lock it through the htc unlock tool? How do I " run PH39IMG install"? After, do i follow the same steps that i did before to root my phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
To relock bootloader:

fastboot oem lock

To Unlock bootloader:

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

The PH39IMG file needs to be on the root of your SD card. Boot into hboot and it will automatically find the the PH39IMG file and update. I hope this helps. Like you said it's almost exact same steps you did to root assuming you didn't use the supertool or one click method.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
Fastboot OEM lock. This is done from the fastboot screen. This is covered in the superguide and mentioned several times throughout these forums.

Sent from my SGH-I777
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cw0725:
strose after putting the ruu on a stock vivid, which boot.img file are you going to look for and recovery img file? this is where i get a little confused?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
I got the recovery I needed following this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23238449&postcount=9
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cw0725:
alright so after i get the two files that i need i just follow the instructions above starting with locking bootloader?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
Before you start are you savvy with fastboot commands? I'm confident you can do this but just read read read. I'll answer your questions as best as I can. I"m not a dev or anything but I was able to do this following the steps created by PG and Thecubed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cw0725:
i've tip toed around with it. Back when i had my evo 4g. I'm pretty familiar with the commands and stuff. i think i got a pretty good idea with the superguide also. after the getting the img file on and cwm i'm decent at the whole flash thing. If i can just get past that point i think im good.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
Yes keep the superguide thread open as well. It's a great resource to have while you are doing this. The steps are nearly the same just have to update the HBOOT first. Good luck! I look forward to seeing you post having a successful install.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
So I just got my replacement vivid..still locked and everything..how do I update with the ruu?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
Connect phone to pc, open .exe and run it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
Thank u got it going and thank god cuz now pg it seems has left the building:(...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
If we flash the RUU, do we need to relock the bootloader first or just run the RUU? Running stock rooted

EDIT: Nvm I found my answer. Still unable to find the RUU. Anyone have a mirror to the RUU?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
Thank you very much. I'll look forward to ICS.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] scyld:
Got Dead Space and Soundhound each for 49 cents. What a steal! And Soundhound's incredible; I can't believe that an app like this can identify songs by humming or by singing. Humming isn't always reliable, but it usually does work!

I'm definitely getting two or ten more apps before this deal is over.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] westshotgun:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] VenomCooks:
Shadowgun

There's a game called ShadowGun which remind me of Gears of War. It's pretty good game for .49. It's a must try.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] johnvillar:
Nice games...

Just bought:

Cut the rope

Dead space

Shadowgun

Modern Combat 3

Soundhound

From all those, the worst is Shadowgun, because it is very easy to beat and doesn't has much content.

Cut the rope is AMAZING! Wish i bought it before lol

Dead space and Modern combat 3 are console like titles, with very strong graphics engines and amazing quality, they're a must have if you like Dead Space 1/2 in case of the former, and Modern Warfare or Battlefield in case of the latter.

Soundhound seems nifty... didn't recognize me butchering "La de da" from Ringo Starr... but i can let it slide because it is one pretty rare music that one.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] riso123:
Would upgrading my i9000 to the newest nexus be worth it, or should I wait for the galaxy s 3 or beam or go for galaxy s 2???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scubadude:
Personally i am waiting for s3 :-) with all the great ics roms at the moment my galaxy s i9000 feels like new so may as well wait...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] riso123:
yeah that's a bit how I feel. I have everything in i9000 and the newest phones are just souped up versions from what I can tell.

The sgs 3 and/or beam seem a bit different from what I have seen, so I guess im not wrong to want to wait.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
I have thoroughly enjoyed the extensive life of my i9000, having flashed an unimaginable amount of ROM and kernel setups, tweaking it in every way I could figure out how to. Now that the i9000 ICS ROMs have reached a state usable as a daily phone, I must admit that it feels like I have a new phone again. ICS is a wonderful improvement.

That being said, a good friend of mine recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus. Actually, he purchased it before I had flashed ICS onto my phone. I thought the phone was a definite improvement over my i9000, but to be honest, it was just ICS. Our phones can play the same games, do the same things, and our pretty much equal. Sure, his dual-core processor gives him a bit more speed doing things like installing apps and such, but my i9000 is unbelievably responsive after upgrading to ICS. Before it, I was going to upgrade. Now that I'm using ICS, I have absolutely zero reason to upgrade. None at all. My phone works just as well as a new one.

Now if I had never discovered XDA and was still using the stock Gingerbread firmware, I would definitely be buying a new phone. Thank god for our wonderful devs!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] disclaimernotice:
Basically, the best phones for this year would be the Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. The Galaxy Nexus is similar to the Nexus S in the sense that is was released during the transition of core numbers, and hence would have rather inferior hardware by the second half of 2012. I was thinking of getting the Galaxy Nexus initially, but now I've decided to wait for the S3.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adslee:
If you're upgrading from an I9000, I strongly urge you to wait for the SGS3. HTC locks down their devices and you will not have a good time flashing ROMs when they do
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chris_el:
Go for it!

Recently made the switch from 19000 to Galaxy Nexus myself, got it on a 12 month plan. The brilliant thing about it is how easy it was to unlock the bootloader, root it and install a custom rom. So if you are into tweaking your phone, go for the Nexus as its brilliant. Updating is also much quicker compared to I9000 and S2, plus no touchwiz. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
GPU in the Nexus is unimpressive, same as the SGS just clocked faster.

That's a big reason why I'm waiting for the S3. Or the next Nexus, given how slick ICSSGS is I think it breathed another year of life into this unit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] huzi7868:
i like the samsung beam looks different to all other phones even with that projector on it good for work and home when watching movies lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] riso123:
Thanks for all the replies everyone, yeah I think I'll wait.

The beam looks very nice indeed, but from the little we do know, so does the s3.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a recovery for this phone? I have a few of Koush's porting instructions ready to go, but if anyone has a better way for a noob to get started porting I'd appreciate it.

Also when running Linux (Ubuntu probably) to compile, better to run x64 bit version standalone, or can I get away with it in virtualbox? 2.9 ghz core 2 duo, 4 gigs of ram.

Is there anyway to get it running better? As the gnex is a top end device I would've expected most games to play very well so is this a hardware issue or the app? There is only Mario kart that I can get at a playable level.

On stock rom mario Kart plays just about perfect but on custom (gummy) although the video is OK the audio cuts every few seconds

So, I have successfully rooted my phone and gained superuser rights. This was my first time rooting a phone. So, I get the cm7 rom from cm's website I. I put it on my sd card, and I go to flash it and it gives me some sort of error... Something about verification? If anyone could help out that would be splendid.

I found this Rom Cyanogenmod 7 Self-Kang For Tmo-Sgs2 Alphafied #2 2.3.7 Updated.. and the links were broken. Tried rootzwiki... broken as well.

Do you have any suggestions on a good build? I was looking for something with just gingerbread like the cm7 build...?

I would like good links to those too.

However, try this...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416445

It's a great Rom to hold you over for an official CM. Without trying Slayher's actual versions but reading comments I believe it might even be more stable than where he left off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
You are probably like me....

I came from the G2 and all I knew was CM7 (most roms based off cm7 in that section at that time). Once I got the Galaxy S II, I was sad that there was no completely finished and supported cm7 builds. I tried the ones mentioned and they do work for the most part but you have to turn on gps before rebooting or you lose audio in calls.

Anyways...long story short, try out some touchwizz roms. You will find that they are almost exactly like gingerbread roms from cm7. You can get a different launcher than TouchWizz (like ADW, Launcher Pro, Go, ect) and your basically there. The settings menu will look different, and some animations and tones will be a little different....(you can customize all of this stuff BTW!) but after I used it for a week I was used to it and I was over the whole Cm7 gingerbread look that I thought I had to have!

Hope this helps.

Anyways, l

[Atrix 4G General] klos619:
hello would like to know which is more convenient to charge the battery on or off the Atrix and benefits of each loading mode

Thx
[Atrix 4G General] Ciloteille:
Atrix on and sleep/idle wont charge as fast as of because of things running CPU load.

Atrix with no wifi, and bt on, and normal sync. Its taking mv's per second vs off where its able to gain the same charge rate while off. ( bare minimum resources used)
[Atrix 4G General] vsg005:
if you want to know what is better for your phone, I think it's the same.

As Ciloteille said, if your phone is on, it will take more time to load, that all for me
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
It's better for battery to charge slowly using USB from PC. Also, for battery is better to reduce heat. For example if you charge and play games, processor and batter will produce more heat.
[Atrix 4G General] Pbwizkid:
Can u explain any on why its better to charge of a PC USB? Is the lower voltage producing less heat the reason or is the slower charge more efficient for another reason?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Basically for every battery is better to charge slowly because chemical process is less aggressive and in the same time produce less heat. PC USB can not provide enough current as charger.

I recommend to read this article How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries .
[Atrix 4G General] Pbwizkid:
PC USB is 5volt correct? Were as most wall charger or car charger is 12 volt?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
PC USB is 5V but charger is also about 5V. Difference is that PC USB 2.0 can provide 500mA and chargers more. For example Motorola charger provide 5,1V and 850mA. That's way charger charge battery faster. Some charger could provide 1000mA or more.
[Atrix 4G General] Pbwizkid:
Ya that what i was just looking at. Basically what i am gathering from your info and that article is most chargers are designed to fill the battery fast, but what you reall want to do is a slow almost trickel charge like with a car battery were a low steady voltage and amperage is applied
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Chargers are designed for fast charging just because users wish to charge battery faster is possible. They don't care about battery. Anyway modern battery will last longer than ordinary possession of the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] klos619:
mmmmm and then I noticed that when you charge the battery with the phone off, it will download more slowly than when I load it on

you can charge the battery with the phone off? mine just turns itself on when it detects that it's plugged in to a power source.

Mine does that if i turn the phone off, but if i let it runn all they way dead i can fully charg it and the phone never turns on until i do so

I take no credit for this app whatsoever! All credit for this goes to Moblynx.

Camera ICS is an improved version of the official Camera app included on Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0).

We have also added support for Honeycomb (Android 3.0) tablets.

--- NEW FEATURES ---

- Color effects (mono,sepia,negative,...)

- Silent mode (no shutter sound, might not work on some devices)

- Picture quality setting (low/medium/high/ultra)

- Video bitrate selection (normal/2x)

- Video stabilization on/off (only 4.0)

- 720p face effects (only 4.0)

- Panorama mode and time-lapse video on Honeycomb tablets

We are working on improving the application.

Please contact us at moblynx.us@gmail.com if you have any problem. We are delighted to receive any feedback.

It actually works very very well! I've experienced virtually no lag at all when snapping pictures. Taking Panoramic pictures is awesome. I really suggest you guys check it out, it's free in the Market and here's the link:

The only thing I don't agree with is the fact that there is a paid version. All they did was modify the stock ICS camera app so I'm failing to see how they can charge money for it.

Im getting "your device is incompatible with this item" :(

Edit: nvm, got it to work through the browser

It was probably because of your LCD Density. Glad you got it though!
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
I have a modded market that allows me to download with a non-standard density (which still could be the problem) that was the first one ive run into that i couldnt download, weird.

Anyway, the app is pretty nice ... super fast with the snapshots. Not too big on the 4:3 format when recording video though, other than that, seems like a solid app.
