i ment the carrier one though assurrien was considered fulfilled

prob set the voltages wrong in the kernel for cpu my guess is it was set to high and fried it. and or put 1 to many 0's for one of the v lines.

The point was im not defending or condoning him just saying it is possable.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
its amazing how much this website/forum has changed since the Windows Mobile days until now. I miss the happier, rah-rah times of my WM-crappy phones and my G1 and early G2 days. This particular forum is definitely one of the most self-absorbing and self-imploding ones around.

ICS will come. Just wait. The phone works fine the way it is now. It makes phone calls, sends text messages, reads emails, surfs the web, and lets you tweet and facebook all day long right? :)

I have ICS on a tablet, and while its slick, it doesnt do anything more than what gingerbread or honeycomb does. It does a couple things better, but it doesnt make peace on earth, make trees grow money, or lets pigs fly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmacdonald19:
What??? It doesn't??? THOSE LYING SACKS!!!

I'm going to get in line right now for an iPad that doesn't even have a name yet. I know for a fact that it makes trees that make money. Someone at the Genius Bar said so the other night.

It's a little pricey though - anyone care to donate?

I love how everyone was riding his **** after a few previews then now that he is bricked u call him a fake. Just be happy with the roms we have n wait for ics source
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
I still have more respect for the guy for trying knowing full well that other source might come soon and for putting in effort to learn how to write drivers . It is the only departure from just tweaking official Samsung releases that has happened for this phone at least.

I also liked the attitude of not being dependent on Samsung. How can people talk trash about Samsung when we currently want to depend on them so much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Raver is working on it.

Tested his alpha the other day.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
hey, i preordered the "new" ipad. i cant wait for it to grow me cash money.

i also wouldnt be too quick to judge xboarder either. he's seem to have done quite a bit for ICS development and its a shame he isnt going to continue working on it further. people need to stop all the bickering and be more patient and positive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Ill tell ya what, I talk to xboarder56 all the time, have talked to him for months since he has helped us with a few things in ADT. He Gtalked me directly when he bricked his SGSII, he was also working on Sense for it. Like Raver says, none of us were there so we cant judge the situation. He's got more heart then me trying to compile ICS from source because most of us DEVs here know the biggest consequence. No need to flame him or call him fake etc...think about what he has done as a whole for the various communitues, he has shown that things can happen, he was always working on more than one project at a time so he was a busy kid. You all know he is 16 and play the kid card pretty quick but ill tell you what, none of you in here have no idea of what he had to go through to get it booting and the extra effort to try and make it fully functional. You say you all understand but if you truely did none of this extra stuff would have been said. Its never as simple as the alphabet...

You all should be saying thank you and because of him someone else has a chance to complete AOSP ICS for us.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
best post of.the thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
So he's saying his working on TouchWIZ, AOSP, and Sense on this device. Wow. He is also working on Sense, and ICS on Amaze. Something fishy is going on. Because, only one I see working in Sense is Eugene373.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
no matter what he writes it will be fishy.

" he only worked in an empty room on a laptop with Eugene373 looking over his shoulders at all time"

response: 2 devs in one room probably plotting something. sounds fishy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] miguel.b:
LOL, love it. I don't post on here enough to really criticize, but props for saying what I've been thinking all along. When I saw that xboarder's final "I give up post", I just smiled. I totally knew that was coming. An inevitable conclusion to a litany of excuses. Like he was really WRITING DRIVERS for the phone's hardware......for real? What 16 year old you know is writing drivers period? Doogie Howser MD much? Moreover, donations for an incomplete product? Why? For what? At the very least, I hope he puts it towards his computer sciences degree.

LOL @tacos, I'm hungry now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
way of speaking out of the same place food comes out. You realize the project is open source and already (as in now) has drivers for wifi written and has the library for gsm. That didnt write itself but im pretty much done since I should of realized some folks are full of fail logic when they pretty much accused xboarder of kanging himself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] miguel.b:
perhaps....but Im happy I didn't blindly donate out of there. I'm willing to friendly bet the first and ONLY usable ICS roms for this handset become available only after the official is out, leaked or otherwise. NOT before. Talk, hype, incomplete work, potential kanging....utter rubbish. I DO genuinely feel for anyone that has sincerely donated in good faith and feels jipped though. No one should be expecting or REQUESTING donations for work done in the spirit of devving for the betterment of all. When said work is done and appreciated, I'm sure donations will shortly follow in abundance and in sincere appreciation. Ill be all up in that.

Hey, did you donate jim93?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
yes. I wasnt expecting more than just trying because I would rather donate so that someone tries and learns than donate for yet another tweaked samsung rom especially a GB rom. His gsm and wifi is likely going to be streamlined into AOSP ICS build that is still going on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] miguel.b:
Very good for you. I do not feel one should need to be goaded or enticed into learning though. Learning at its purest is its own reward. Learning because you're being paid to is....well a different kind of reward...lol. Im still not getting my hopes up until we start seeing Sammy's own wizzed up release. At the WORST I'll just be pleasantly surprised if an AOSP makes it out the gate first! And then be OBLIGED to donate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
while i agree with your general sentiment, i disagree with the sammy ics vs dev ics. just because most people said the same thing about the vibrant and gingerbread. now the vibrant has ics from devs and sammy still hasn't released gb for it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Point is, we get ICS when we get ICS.

You got a problem with it?

The Nexus GSM supports Tmobile 4G...

Buy one instead of complaing about donating to someone else to bring you ICS. Donate to your own cause, 90% of the people probly didnt donate more than 10$ anyway so crying about donations is like beating a dead horse. People donated and he got the phone in "hopes" to bring ICS which in fact he did bring it. Just couldnt complete it because "he is not samsung". As soon as we get ICS people are gonna complain for the nexr firmware so everyone just needs to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. HE MADE A VERY GREAT EFFORT, an effort that 99.9% of people here are not even trying.

M&S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
exactly but the only part i think is flawed is the belief that AOSP ICS will just make itself without supporting devs working on it. If calling someone a kanger and imposing rule extensions while calling everything fishy in the whole process is support then I think everyone has different definition of support than the one I own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
certainly. but supporting a dev isn't necessarily donating (especially donating beforehand). this is a lot like when the vibrant section donated wes of team douche a vibrant and he bricked it or didn't work on it or whatever the hell happened (i don't remember and don't care).

then on the other hand you have atinm who didn't even have a vibrant, got us (vibrant owners) cm7 and was ran off by entitled feeling whiners and douches.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
What's the point of completing if it is not really worth his time anyway considering an official update is bound to drop at some point
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
because getting drivers to work with aosp is very different than modifying a samsung ics rom. basically, writing drivers/driver wrappers to work with aosp means this phone gets any future android version (basically the cm approach); relying on samsung means this phone dies at gb or (maybe) ics (if they release to us, which, historically i wouldn't rely on).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
All this pissing about who donated to who or for what is pointless.

A donation is just that, a donation. You aren't hiring someone to work for you by donating. You are donating for a cause, to see more development in this forum. If the person is unable to successfully develop for xyz reason, so be it. They're still contributing something, namely, their time. Maybe, as in xboarders case, they're contributing a starting point for someone else. Maybe the contribution is knowledge that another dev will use to progress further. The point is, it all helps in furthering development for our bastard child of a phone.

Would I love to have a working AOSP ICS rom running on this phone? Hell yes. Am I going to piss and moan about other people that are trying to make it happen but can't for whatever reason? Hell no, because they tried, and that's more than you or I have done(you being a generalized you, not anyone in particular)

If you didn't donate, you have no reason to *****. If you did donate, you still have no reason to *****. If you donated more than you can afford to GIVE, let this be a lesson. Next time, don't give what you NEED. And if you're upset that (insert dev name here) didn't live up to YOUR expectations, too f'n bad. If you want that, hire a software engineer to work for you. It'll only set you back $70k+

BTW, I haven't donated in the past, but i put up $10.00 to help Raver get a phone. Not much, but what I could afford. It still helps, and doesn't break the bank on my end. Will I piss and moan if he doesn't come through? No, because I donated it (look up definition of donate, it does not include entitlement)

Rant done.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
History very much states that you will get it. It seems all galaxy models get a major upgrade a couple months after the next upgraded model is released. The vibrant with the sgs4g. The sgs4g with the sgs2. History repeating would be that the s3 gets released then 2 months later the s2 gets ics but "hardware limitations " won't allow for jelly bean. Just how Samsung operates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SevenSe7enSeven:
Well jelly bean seems like it wont be as big of a upgrade like GB is to ICS so maybe devs will be able to put jelly bean on this phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Raistline:
Jelly Bean will be to Android what Honeycomb was. It is more designed around tablet use and will not have as much cross functionality to as ICS does. It is more to take advantage of the quad+ cores coming out for devices.

At least this is the mass consensus from all that I have read around the net accompanied by statements made by google.

How to enable A2SD and Dc2SD together on MiniCM?

CyanogenMOD Config > Performance > A2SD Modes

I can only choose one option =/
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfrmr:
dc2sd includes a2sd, is apps + dalvik cache to sd
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurinkita:
Stupid Question: Which one of them is better to use? A2SD or DC2SD?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saipro:
Neither! Unless you're pressed for ROM space to install new apps (all too likely with the miserable space SE alloted) - in which case A2SD is the way to go. Rather than DC2SD, increase the size of your EXT partition if pressed for space (I know no true justification in moving Dalvik cache to SD). You might even notice a lag (mild to significant) when launching larger apps stored on the card.

But it's pretty harmless to have a128MB ext partition - even if you don't need it right away. You never really can tell. ;)

[Kindle Fire General] ssmercurys:
Hello all,

Long time member of XDA, and love of android devices.

I just got a KF and am pretty excited to see what this thing can do.

I am interested in rooting it, mainly for all my android games that I have but dont want to lose any features.

So far this sounds like CM7 is the way to go due to no HD on CM9?

However by rooting I lose the Amazon interface completely right? This I would maybe like due to the e-books I have as well.

Any suggestions on best ROM, kernels?

Recommended Recoverys/root methods? :)

Thanks!

Rooting Basics

Sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too! :-)

Well you can, sort of.

Rooting the Fire by itself, doesn't remove the kindle interface, although it does affect the ability to buy or watch a movie from Amazon unless you temporarily unroot the device, which is easy to do with an unroot app. What rooting does is give you control over the Fire so you can download from other markets other than Amazon and install other Android roms.

Even using the stock Kindle you can read other books on it. I use a program on my win PC,Calibre, to download and convert other books onto the kindle, works great.

But, not as much fun as installing and playing around with other roms. Using a good recovery program like TWRP, will let you backup and restore both the stock Kindle any any of the other Android versions you install. The KFU program link in post #3 in this thread is a good start to get your device rooted, new boot program, and recovery program. I did mine without it, step by step, but it sounds pretty easy and reliable. I would suggest reading up on it first though.

I'm using the rooted stock kindle, Cyanogenmod 7, and the Energy version of ICS. It has a few bugs, no video hardware assist but other than that runs well. The key is being able to backup and restore, so if you don't like one version, you just go back to another.
[Kindle Fire General] bishop_1025:
my expiriences

Personally ive installed a couple Roms cm7 being my favorite but I reverted back to the of stock Rom and just use go launcher ex. Rooting is worth it if you don't have amazon prime but if you do the amazon instant video is a loss but with the android market installed then you can still buy movies with that. Twrp is also needed but my favorite is simple changing the annoying rotating wallpaper.
[Kindle Fire General] gflare:
I'm new to the Kindle Fire party as well... I managed to use the Kindle Fire Utility to perm root, install TWRP, and then FireFireFire. Following that, I installed the CM7 rom by Whistlestop and it seems to be running fine so far.

My only question is this:

Since I just got my Kindle Fire, I have Amazon Prime and want to use instant video. Is there any easy way to get instant video running on the CM7 Kindle Fire? I understand the need and method to hide root or temporarily unroot, but I've seen posts saying install some amazon account stuff, then the app.

Are there any simple steps to take in order to do this properly and watch my amazon prime instant videos on cm7?

2. I love how my Galaxy S2 functions and way to recreate that on the KF?

hi all

i recently asked a retailer about the price for the arc and acr S recently ( dunno why but o have the urge to do so and i did ) he said the price for ARC is RM1000 and ARC S is RM 1300 which is surprisingly cheap ..and i do love the phone ..never seen anyone used it but i looks gorgeous in videos ...i just bought a galaxy ACE about a month ago and i am planning to change one at the end of the year at december ...so should i get the arc ? i know it have some crappy processors and low ram but i want to hear some opinion for the users ...is it worth the RM 1000? and i do expect the price to drop to RM800 at the end of the year ...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lusterboi:
Look wise, the arc is top tier, hands down. I guess it really ties down to what you expect out of your phone. Personally, a phone to me is to remain a phone and not a mini laptop, so the specs of the Arc S is good enough for me. It's fast enough to do everything that I want; stream videos, browse the internet, call/email/text etc. All those hype about new phones, dual cores and etc, what is the purpose exactly? It loads a page faster in 1 sec? Ridiculous. Didn't mean to rant haha, but yeah. If you want a phone that stands out and looks good and is good for everyday use, I would recommend getting the Arc/S. Not to mention, the Camera is awesome.

Hey tohno,nice seeing u here brick guy. Im using arc s rite now n lovin it. Anyway i bought mine from a guy who just used it for two months at rm900. Its used but the guy is new with android n havent mod anything yet so i think its fair if i said that it come fresh from the shop :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giorgobiani554:
Please don't buy neither Arc nor Arc S, you will face some very depressing problems with these phones, as Arc user I don't suggest this phone because of very poor quality of the phone. You maybe extra careful with your phone but you won't avoid housing crack, scratched screen and body damages. Housing crack appears on almost all Xperia Arc phones, as for screen I would say, its very bright and high quality but, it is not gorilla glass, and you can scratch it by mistake for example when cleaning, as I did. As for body I would say that design is very sexy but you will notice small dots around the screen, and on the back panel, paint gets peeled. My advice, hold the phone in vacuum or wait for Xperia S!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
If I were you, I would buy LG Optimus 2X instead. It has Tegra 2 chipset and a dual-core processor. That makes it much better phone. Cons are it doesn't have as good camera, and the screen is a bit smaller(4.2 > 4.0).

Here in Switzerland it is even cheaper.
