[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
No, it's not related. Custom roms were already possible without kernel source, I tried cm9 for instance.

The problem with Archos is that it's not really worth it. Custom to do what? Archos firmware is quite "stock", no bloat to remove, so aosp is quite similar and doesn't bring much.

CM9 is in major work, it's going to be interesting soon but it will require lot's of work to adapt it and make it as stable as stock firmware. It's not too difficult to get basic stuff when mixed with proprietary binaries.

Kernel sources are interesting to:

- learn kernel stuff :)

- overclock / add governors

- add missing drivers (dvb cards, etc...)

- port to gen8 devices

- debug problems like wifi for instance (bad example, this one will be tough).
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
great letama !

many works now !
[Gen9 Android Development] iourine:
Great news! Now waiting for Ubuntu with the new kernel, WiFi and video hw fully employed. I'm a poor programmer myself but if there is a bug in the software I always run straight into it. (And they are always there, of course.) So I think there will be a lot of them to be found.

[Gen9 Android Development] faenil:
Archos' fw is quite "stock" but it's slower than other ICS firmwares...

I have a Transformer with ICS here, and it's definitely smoother (less lag) than my G9 101..

And it's not a CPU/GPU difference :)
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Agreed, but don't forget memory difference... I'm convinced that it kills omap4 perfs. I guess we'll see with the new turbo 1G.

Anyway, some news back on the subject, overclocking is very easy on this kernel to go from 1G -> 1.2 "standard way" with governors that can be handled by setcpu or other. It seems stable, didn't run extensive tests though.
[Gen9 Android Development] faenil:
yeah, the RAM... :(

good news about the overclock anyway :)

Hi Guys.

Is it possible to use the original android launcher for the Galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.3.)? If so, where can I get it?

Alternatively, you could just download the Nova Launcher from the market. It's also based on the AOSP Launcher, but more customizable. You can make it look and behave just like the stock launcher, though.

It feels a bit more polished than Trebuchet to me ATM.

its been explained to me that hulu isnt free on android so i deleted post
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
I doubt you will find anyone who will tell you how to watch hulu+ for free when its a paid service.

Most Hulu+ threads that are around were about getting the app to work on the thunderbolt. If you want to watch it, you have to pay the fee.

You can try using standard Hulu thru the browser, just put the browser in desktop mode and see if that will work. Mobile view will not. There was a thread here that had a file that you could replace the standard files to let you watch on your phone. That worked for me.

I got a replacement razr maxx for the one I broke and am setting it back-up.

In my previous Maxx, I created shortcuts to different actions wtihin various apps (e.g., open directly to e-mail compose or text compose, the camcorder, etc).

I recall adding a shortcut where each app was listed and then underneath it a list of different actions that can be chosen. I don't believe I had any special app installed to enable this. I can't figure out how I did this. I am using go launcher ex if it matters.

Any pointers?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goooober:
I'd been running Checkrom v4 almost since the day i got my phone (4 months ago) without any technical problems what so ever. Yesterday i did a clean install of Checkrom V6 and encountered no problems in the first few hours of use. Eventually i plugged the phone in to charge for a few hours and upon using it again i had absolutely no internet connectivity via wifi or 3g.

Since i needed connectivity right away i flashed my V4 backup only to find that i still had connectivity! Since it was late and i need to sleep i just left the phone over night and discovered in the morning that connectivity had not returned. Unfortunately it had gone again a few hours later.

The fact that i get no connectivity via wifi or 3g and that it occurs only my previously faultless V4 system i can only assume that it must be some sort of physical fault with the phone, not Checkrom.

Is there anything i can do to make absolutely sure that this is the case before i think about sending the phone back to Samsung?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Might be a physical problem. Only one way to find out.

Clean install of stock firmware.

If you have the same firmware with a fresh install of stock, then maybe it's a hardware issue. If not, then it's obviously something with the custom rom you were running.

Before you go down the stock route tho, you could try a bunch of other modems & see if you can find one that improves the situation. That might improve the 3G connectivity but won't help with WiFi as those drivers are in the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goooober:
I'll flash a stock firmware/kernal and see how it goes. I'm pretty concerned though since the problem is mirrored on my V4 system that had been running flawlessly for months :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AwaisKhan:
We all know theres the beta ROM of ICS on the web for the 2011 Xperia range, but you need a Phone with a unlocked bootloader, but im thinking, could someone pull out the apps (browser, music, widgets, launcher etc) & theme files (systemUI, framework-res etc) not affecting the actual base of the system but how it looks & feels & put it in a ZIP FILE for use through ClockworkMod Recovery on locked bootloaders... I know theres ICS themes & stuff but their just stock apps with different colours (blue & black) & different icons....

Can't u use gb tweaked? It's a nice replica of ics and it's for locked and unlocked bootloaders
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
They still would need dependencies that GB doesn't have, and they'd still require a higher SDK build than GB has. You or someone knowledgeable can try to strip off the ICS dependencies and rebuild the APK to make it compatible with a lower SDK number. That would be one hell of a lot of work, which would only make sense if there was really no way to get ICS in our device, but fortunately it's not our case.

Just got out of chat with Tmo online chat with rep. I was told that the Pittsburgh area is online with the 1900 mhz spectrum and that all gsm phones with the bands should work regular. I have also checked the Fcc maps and another map I found in another forum which i will post soon as i find the link again. Anyways, here is a copy of the chat with the rep:

Thank you for choosing T-Mobile. A representative will be with you shortly.

Welcome to T-Mobile online sales support, how may I help you with your purchase today?

Jillian: I'm more than happy to assist you. Can I ask for your name please?

You: Yes, I have a few questions regarding your network in my home region of Pittsburgh, Pa.

Jillian: Can I know your zip code?

You: 15140

You: I am a current Sprint customer and I plan on porting over two lines

You: I am trying to find out if my area has hspa working on the 1900 mhz spectrum yet?

Jillian: We have an excellent network at Your home region.

You: I have done a little research and it appears that T-mobile owns some of this spectrum licensed here throughout Pittsburgh.

Jillian: For which phone are you asking that?

You: I am interested in buying an unlocked Samsung Note from manafacturer and would like to add to value plan when we start service.

You: However it does not have the 1700 mhz band

Jillian: Let me check it for you, please allow me a minute.

You: but apparently you guys have been refarming 3g over to 1900 mhz in order for Lte deployment.

You: Thank you.

You: That way I can purchase my perfect phone with no worry about 4g

Jillian: Please hold for a minute.

You: sorry

Jillian: Thank you for waiting. As I've checked that we have the 1900 spectrum band for hspa in Pittsburgh and the Samsung Galaxy Note works on the 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 spectrum bands.

You: Yes, Thank you so much as this was the hardest to find. Thank you so much!

Jillian: Would you like to go with your purchase of the value plans now online and want to port your number as well?

You: Not yet, waiting on paycheck today and will be going to store to port numbers. This is due to the fact that I would need to get the phone before porting so we are not without service. But thank you as you were a huge help.

Jillian: It's okay. I hope, I have answered all your questions?

You: Yes, and this is a for sure thing though. Not to second guess you. I just would hate to pay so much for the device and not get the good speeds. But with that being said, you guys just got two guaranteed longterm customers. Keep up the good work! Thanks

Jillian: Thank you for choosing T-Mobile. Have a great day. We value your feedback, please click on the "End Chat" button to provide us your views on your chat experience today.

Now this is from tmobile themselves. Are there anyone out there that can confirm this? It covers the whole western and most of the east part of Pennsylvania.

Cause they're let is slower than Tmobile here and a lot cheaper. Plus my note get hSpa+ with t-mobile anyway. Cheaper. Wif calling at home, work, and school means clearer less dropped calls.

Who uses enough data to be throttled? I have 5 GBs of 4g data, and never use more than 3. Unless you want to replace your ISP with your wireless carrier, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
[Networking] M0D1441:
You also have to worry about the fact T-mobile has limited 1900mhz spectrum around the USA, so if you travel you will be stuck on EDGE service, what sucks about this, is that you won't be able to roam on AT&T's 3G/HSPA+ until you are out of T-mobile's EDGE coverage.

Just my $0.02
[Networking] theking_13:
But there's lots of 1700/2100 spectrum, 1900 is just so we can get 3G/4G from AT&T where we only have EDGE.
[Networking] yglup:
Wife calling bro. But edge is good snuff for calls at that roadblock. Personally i prefer to do big dl over wife.
[Networking] Matt_e_o:
I just got back from visiting Pittsburgh, and unfortunately I have to report I was not able to receive any 3G spectrum from tmobile on my unlocked iPhone 4. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before t-mobile brings out the 1900mhz 3G frequency. So save your money for now and hold off on buying phone that doesn't support tmobiles 1700/2100 frequencies. EDGE isn't all that bad for web/email and I can even manage to watch low quality YouTube videos on my iPhone 4 (as YouTube videos are turned down to low quality automatically on the iPhones built in YouTube app while streaming over EDGE/3G), but for tethering, Netflix, downloading apps/music, it will feel terribly SLOW IMO. Please tmobile bring out the 1900mhz frequencies!!!!

I have two notes, one is mine, the other my wifes. Her note is buttery smooth with no lag at all! My note has lag pretty bad on the keyboard, and a bit on the home screens, Launcher pro kills the lag on the home screens but not the keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
It could be an app installed causing it. The only way to know for sure would be for you both to do a factory reset and try again. If one is still laggy, try flashing the stock or rooted ODIN system image and see if it changes anything. If the lag goes away, then it was something in the system partition causing it. If the lag is still present, then it's probably a hardware defect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sarius24:

This may or may not help you, however what I did was to backup the stock rom (clockwork mod) and then reflash it back down again. Made the phone feels better. Maybe it aligns all the data better? no idea...

Having a power supply greater than what u need is actually a good thing, it'll provide a more stable. current, assuming its of decent quality. Your phone will only draw as much power as it needs, in this case 1A.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I will say that cheap DC power adapters appear to wildly vary in actual current delivered. I am a little skeptical of a charger sold from Hong Kong.

And, in my experience, you WILL need a full 1A of power when doing something like GPS navigation since my 750mA (well, thats what it says on it) charger can't keep up with that level of power draw.

A little update:

Yesterday I had 2 drives with the phone the charger connected and the gps on, first was 50 minutes second was 35, both times everything worked great and the phone got charged.

Today as I was driving back home after the phone on with the gps and the charger for 10 minutes I received a "battery temperature too hot, stopping charging".

I can relate a few factors to this, first when i entered the car it was scolding hot, second probably the car mount was also hot and 3rd my case is really cheap and chocking.

I downloaded a battery temperature widget and I'll check the battery and the charger in a few different situations, with and without the case when the car is hot.

Edit: I checked the current the phone takes while being connected to the wall and the cat charger and they are both approx 860mA so the issue comes to the phone itself.
