Can someone go to system/apps (rooted phone) and pull me the accuweather app?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
apk

Is this the one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
No the other one. I had this one already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
The app is Accu...apk. Can anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SatAmnesiac:
I had the same problem & for some reason (& I need to look into why) the Titanium backup of the widget didn't restore!

A search here found a transparent version that works with my European version Note.

PM me if you are still looking (or look here!)

I used Root Explorer and Terminal to move the .apk into /system/app, and set the permissions and owner.group to the same as the other widgets... and then it worked great.

[Motorola Photon 4G] jcaicedo82:
I own a photon and its awesome but my bother owns a ns4g with ics and is super fast. He said he will trade with me plus 50 bucks. Any advise?

:) thank you guys!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
My wife had an NS4G. Now we both have Photons.

NS4G:

pros: OTA ICS. No bloatware, AOSP experience. Rooting, unlocking, flashing, all very easy. A multitude of ROMs available. Super AMOLED screen.

cons: No gorilla glass. Single core processor. 512mb RAM. Feels very flimsy. Poor reception compared to some other phones I've had. Not a very good camera. 16gb internal memory with no expansion available.

Photon:

pros: Dual core processor. 1024 RAM. Feels sturdy. Gorilla glass. Great reception. While screen has a screen door effect, wife and I hardly notice, and it's very bright even in direct sunlight. 16gb internal memory with availability of expansion up to 48gb with up to 32gb micro USB. WORLDPHONE!

cons: no OTA ICS until at least July. CM9 is great but in beta. Not a lot of ROM's. Unlocking can be tricky for a beginner, and loses 4G data. Motorola Blur bloatware. Camera still not great but better than NS4G.

Other things... Photon has a larger screen, which I love but some people with small hands don't. Overall I love the solid feel and great performance of my stock rooted Photon. It's fast enough on its own I don't feel the need as of yet to flash ROM's since I do use 4G. If you love flashing ROM's all the time or feel like you need a stable ICS build, perhaps you should go with the NS4G.

From what I've seen on Ebay, the Photon still goes for about $300 for a new or slightly used version with clean ESN. The NS4G goes for around $200. So only 50 bucks with that trade seems a little low. You should get a hundred if they're both in the same condition. Of course that depends on whatever accessories you both are including.

I would never go back to NS4G, personally, but that's just me. I'm keeping my Photon until March 2013 when my next upgrade happens, which is highly unusual for me because I go through phones like crazy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jcaicedo82:
Great. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
My wife also has the nexus and I have a Photon. I prefer the photon over everything the nexus has to offer. I'm really disappointed that the nexus hasn't gotten ics yet, but the development is better on it. Mine's unlocked and running a variety of roms depending on the day and what I feel like.

If your brother wants to trade, I would consider why he wants to trade in making the decision. Personally, I think you have the better phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mstevens:
I have both. They're different tools for different jobs. I can't really say one is clearly superior to the other.

The Photon is faster and has a higher-resolution screen. It's larger and can be clumsy in the pocket. Battery life is significantly better. I hate Motoblur. SIM for international use (which is the primary reason I got it). Odd buttons in unintuitive places. Infuriating side placement of charging port makes use while charging uncomfortable, interferes with kickstand use.

The Nexus S 4G is sleeker and fits better in a shirt pocket. No bloatware at all. Bootloader unlocks merely by asking it to. Rooting is simplicity itself. Many, many custom ROM's available, as well as a leaked official ICS that works perfectly. NFC and Google Wallet. No notification LED. Weak vibration and speaker. No microSD slot. No HDMI output. For me, it's a better daily driver in the US.

All in all, I think each is worth about the same amount of money, at least to me.

So it has been announced that the SGS2 line will be updated to ICS Saturday. Will a port be possible to the infuse? I know its different chip sets, and all the other goodies, but will it still be possible?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Radiotsar:
If I were you, I'd don a flak jacket quick!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jason4962:
maybe if it was i9000 ( sgs1 ) we just use linuxbozo's tool
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
No go, tried. Aosp only way, and porting is extremely hard because ics uses completely new drivers. If the gingerbread and ics kernels are woven together, it would work. Part of the reason why ICS is hard to come by is it is so different. Btw, be ready to be told no infuse devs will do it, i do not blame them. Sammy loves sacrificing peoples thoughts with money.... like apple does. Seems to gather the most people too lol....

So is once a week the expected occurrence of these type of threads now-a-days?? :rolleyes:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
lb's tool doesnt magically compile a kernel for operating systems the came out after the creation of the tool. that would be cool though.....

what hellraiser is is a normal infuse kernel and a collection of hardware libs pulled directly from an infuse rom to interface with the kernel. it only does gb and was only possible because gingerbread was already available on the rogers infuse.

but an i9000 ics release could potentially help an infuse port but we would need a kernel dev in on it that had some knowledge of the differences between ics and gingerbread. but in reality the biggest thing holding up an aosp version (with some things broken of coarse) is a lack of a dev familiar with aosp ports on galaxy s phones. much of the major hardware is the same as the nexus s, even tha galaxy nexus has the gpu of our phone. the cpu, gpu, audio, ect are not nessessarily a problem. wifi, gps, bluetooth, mhl, and cell connection/data could be problems but wifi and gps work in cm7 so its posible they'd also work in ics.

well, i have an GS2 rooted (android 2.3.4) and sim unlocked with Galaxy S Unlocker.

if i upgrade to ICS when its released, do i loose root?

if I loose root, SuperOneClick will still work if my GS2 is ICS or do i need to wait to an update of SUperOneClick (to supor GS2 with ICS) to root my device again?

well, those are my questions.

1) Of course you'll lose root if you go back to stock.

2) Ask whomever developed SuperOneClick if it will work with ICS.

Hi,

I've rooted my S2 with CF-Root 4.1 and I'm using a 2.3.5 SamFirmware ROM.

Can I just update over KIES when ICS comes out? Will the Kernel be replaced and what Files will be erased?

Greets
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITRC:
Yes, you will loose root when updating trough KIES.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughfollett:
If you have a rooted rom, if I remember well, Kies won't update your firmware... You have to use ODIN...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokkas88:
ok so just to make this 100% clear (i am a complete noob and i always make stupid questions, so flaming is accepted :P)

I have a Galaxy S2 with just rooted firmware (XWKJ1). I used an insecure version of this firmware to root the phone following the Odin/CF Root guide. Also I am not using any custom made rom like CM for example... If I upgrade my phone through Kies when the ICS update rolls out will I be able to complete the process succesfully?

Also from what I understand if the update procedure is completed succesfully I will lose root and will have to do the whole process all over again... Is there an insecure firmware matching the ICS firmware that will replace my old one?

Thanks in advance for your help...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zentik:
Ok.. if i upgrade to ics with odin, i loose root too??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Unless the ICS firmware you upgrade to is already rooted, then yes. You will lose root.

It was never guaranteed to be released worldwide on a single day anyways. Can you imagine the millions of I9100 users all trying to download the official ICS update via Kies at the same time? Their servers would have an aneurysm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
It would surely have been reposted for download though. Also, it was posted in various languages including English speaking Samsung sites.

I know that it is what it is and there's little point now, but I haven't had my ***** about it yet, except to my wife who is fairly confused about why this is such a disappointment for me.

Now I've had my little ***** attack about it not happening and will maintain it to this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
I dont understand why its such a big deal to get the update. Why not just flash a custom rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
I've been squeamish after many GB ones had serious issues, for example we'd forgotten our camera when my second kid was born by cesarian and I had a sleep of death on the phone - was doing a Nandroid restore of stock 10 minutes prior to entering the operating room. It saved the day.

That said, I flashed a custom ROM right after that last post and it's been really impressive. I haven't yet found an issue with it. Everything seems to be working really well and the battery life might even be a little better than the GB ROM I was using though it's still to early to say.

I get annoyed with all the banners and the immediate back patting when there's a new RoM that hasn't even been tested, but just to answer the question some people might be asking about which one I was impressed with, it was Resurection Remix. It also happens, thogh, to be the first one I flashed that was a Samsung based ROM opposed to AOSP.

It is still annoying though. I suspect Samsung is merely manufacturing their own hype about this, intentionally, and that is irritating.

[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
I've been doing quite a bit of research on GPU's and CPU's in phone's/tablets lately. And I have a few unanswered questions that I can't seem to find an answer for.

1: What's the best chipset available for mobile phones and tablets right now? This link cleared quite a bit up for me, it does a fairly indepth comparison for both GPU and CPU performance between the Qualcomm S4, Tegra 3, OMAP 4470, and the Exynos 4212. And I dont want the 'Well this is better because it has more jiggahertz". Shut up, that's not what I need. I need something more indepth. If studies on individual GPU comparison can be provided, please drop a link. I'd like to know these things very well.

2: What individual GPU is currently the best? I realize the Ipad3 came out with with a graphics chip that's supposedly superior to the Xbox/PS3's. However I take anything Apple says with a grain of salt, they're notorious for shooting flaming BS out of their rear. However based on the little bit of searching I've done, the Adreno GPU's seem to be ahead of their time. I previously thought the Mali 400 GPU in the Exynos chipset was one of the best, but apparently it's outdated. Again, links to tests/studies/comparisons would be appreciated.

3: What's the deal with the ARM chips? Are the A5's, A6's, A11's, (and whatever other A chips out there are), some standard CPU developed by ARM and licensed out to all manufacturers to use in their chipsets?

4: What alternatives are there to the ARM CPU's? Most chipsets I research seem to be using a Cortex A9 chip.

5: What's the difference between the A5, A6, A9, etc. From what I've seen the higher numbers are the newer models, but I feel like that's a very shallow definition. If that is true, why does the newest iPad only use an A5x chip for it's quad core rather than an A9 or something of the sort.

6: Is the chipset in the iPad really the fastest out there? Personally, I can't really stand apple products; let alone the rabid fanboys and the obnoxious advertisements they put out. I can recognize that they very often gloat about their products and overexaggerate; like how they said the dual core in the iPhone 4s is the fastest out there, yet from what I've read the A5 is the worst performing dual core out there. Is the GPU in the tablet really superior to the Xbox? And is the processor really able to outdo the Tegra 3?

If you're able to answer any one of these, even exclusively, that would be appreciated. I just like knowledge :)
