[Gen9 Android Development] zando2712:
Changed my router to Medialink Wireless N Router MWN-WAPR150N

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005P05E3S/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00

I no longer have WiFi drops.

(I had to switch WPS off because G9 would not connect with it enabled)

SMB streaming works quite well.

AMC UPnP streaming of video does not work with G9 (audio streaming works). I get an error before file starts playing ("Cannot play video. File is damaged or incomplete"). BubbleUPnP with BSPlayer works quite well.

AMC still works pretty well when streaming to my Gen7 Archos 5 IT.
[Gen9 Android Development] bkromhout:
I'm glad that you've found a solution, but as for me, I'll probably go back to the stable 4.0.6, since it seemed to work correctly in that.
[Gen9 Android Development] Extreme_One:
Still no GPS but otherwise ... great!

Since installing latest 4.0.6test my 80 GO has been rock solid! It hasn't locked up one single time in the week or so I have been using his ROM.

With 4.0.6 official I would experience frequent lockups/reboots; sometimes 3 or 4 times a day! So this issue is fixed here. :)

I just wish I could achieve satellite lock; that's the only issue I have now.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Does this video use mpeg2 codec? If yes- did you buy the codec or Cinemapack plugin?
[Gen9 Android Development] zando2712:
None of my videos, whatever the codecs, stream through UPnP using the Archos Video app on my G9.

I bought the codecs so plugins should not be an issue.

SMB streaming of the same videos works.

Using BubbleUPnP and another video app like BSPlayer works very well.
[Gen9 Android Development] bkromhout:
None of the videos I watch use the MPEG2 or ac3 codecs either. So even with the update to 4.0.7, I'm still having periodic drops. The thing is, it reconnects right away, so it usually isn't a problem for most apps, even web browsers are usually okay.

But, even though it connects again right away, it's still enough to make the media center app drop the stream from my SMB shares, so my problem is due to the fact that the media center app only ever saves your position on the video you're streaming when you interact with the app, or just touch the screen to pop up the menu. So, an easy way to fix the problem would be to add some code to the media center app that saves your position without you having to interact with the interface.

It should do this especially when the stream is lost due to things such as wifi dropping, because I don't think it'd be hard to grab the latest position before it dropped and make that the resume position so it starts off where it was before the wifi dropped.

Since Archos really pushes the entertainment thing in their marketing, I'd really like to see little things like that being added to the media center app, and maybe in the future the way it reacts to a stream being dropped could be handled differently too.

Courville, care to comment on this any? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, especially concerning the tracking of video position for videos streamed from SMB

Hello guys,

I have been an oppurtunity to swap brand new Galaxy Nexus with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Should I do it?

[x] If yes, Please state why?

[x] If no, Why not?

Can anyone list out pros and cons?

Can I bank on the future development of GNexus? As of now, Gnex has nothing additional to SGS-II.

Your voice?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
If the 16GB fixed storage on the GN is enough for you then go for it, but if you need additional SD Card storage take the S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iekansh:
Asking this in SII forums? You think people will say Nexus is better?

SII for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubuntufreak04:
It depends on what you want, since you lose some and get some in this trade :). First if you want high spec smartphone you should be happy with SGS2 compared to Nexus, but if you want the pure Google android experience with latest stable android updates, nexus is superior.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidkid311:
Gnexus. Has a much better ics version n pure google and the hd display. But u should research them yourself this is a silly place to ask. ;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
The Nexus Vs S2 is down to physical appearance and also if you need the extra RAM. The only thing going for the nexus is the screen resolution and the look. The software which is on the nexus can be ported over to the S2.

Personally i would say they are both equal, as the Nexus does feel like a phone, the resolution is nice but it lacks the hardware of the S2, the S2 in terms of hardware beats the nexus hands down but it is light, it doesnt feel like a phone because it is light and plastic like.

ATM the nexus holds its value greater than the S2 and S2 used are going for a lot less.

If i was set with the choice without having to pay anything extra i would go for the S2 mainly beause it is future proof with the higher spec.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Not yet released in india

So no warranty

I heard some display issues with Gnex and u won't have warranty so won't be able to replace the display for free

And in india people don't even know nexus devices and they are not popular here u know

and better wait for the next big thing or next nexus

I won't downgrade my storage by nexus...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fridykker:
differences are:

SD card support (only internal 16g storage on gnex)

screen type (no gorilla glass on gnex)

screen resolution and size (higher and larger on gnex)

better camera on S2

design and feel (purely subjective.. up to each user to judge)

minor differences in hardware otherwise.. not something users will notice

pure google on gnex versus samsung android on s2

better battery on s2 (unless u buy original extended battery for gnex)

Depends what your priorities are. Both phones are awesome!

For me screen resolution and size, pure google experience and design and feel were more important than slightly better camera and SD card support.

The only thing I did was to buy 2000 mah extended battery from samsung korea and now that I with average to heavy use get about 48 hours of battery life I'm happy with my choice.

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
it's no question, get a nexus. its so much better. looks better, buildquality lightyears better, s2 is a slippery fish in your hands, screen that makes the s2's look like crap, its big enough to read entire webpages, its even big enough to drop ics into tablet mode, the device itself though is not much bigger, we're talkin millimeters. it has no stupid hardware buttons, and most importantly, pure ics. the s2 maybe has a better gpu or whatever, but in real life i don't see the difference. the only thing that sucks is the sd-card.

just look at your phone, you still did not get ics. samsung needed half a year to vomit it's ugliest breed of touchwizz on it. you're sitting on that thing without drivers and if you want to run a modern OS you willingly deal with a crapload of faults because all you have is leaks. you bought it alright, but you dont OWN it, samsung does. in a few months that thing is history, its becomming old, and samsung has already wasted half it's shelf-life since ics came out. i have both, s2 and nexus. s2 is far from what you're getting with nexus, which has a flowering community, newest, freshest rom's. bear in mind, nexus is open by design, no stupid odin, no hacks, you unlock it with documented toolsets.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
It generally depends on what you use your phone for - if it's media consumption then the SGS2 is by far the better phone, but if you don't use the added functionality of the SGS2, then the GNex is the best choice. I personally love the looks of the Gnex, but couldn't live without hardware accelerated mkv playback support.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makrilli:
I don't like the look of gnex though i have seen it only in pictures, also some nexuses get their updates from samsung not from google, but I don't know the diffrence between those updates, I guess there ain't any diffrence but not sure?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
hold one in your hand and you'll think differently. i also love my s2, and i thought gnex is too big or whatever. well, it's perfect. i was suprised, too. about that samsung thing, i have heard it's a myth or misunderstanding but in any way, it does not matter. you unlock that phone by pressing one button on your keyboard. load up gnex-toolkit and press "7," bang, open. after that you can choose from a wealth of really cool roms, all based on freshest ics open-source. who cares about googles ota updates anyway, they are boring. take a look in the build section here, more and more you'll see leaks based on things like "aokp," now where do you think that comes from, from nexus of course.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Without trying to be biased but yes I would go for the S2 because I wouldn't like the idea of having no external storage on the fly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomix86:
Galaxy Nexus will be supported for much longer, has the pure Google experience and a superior screen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbat:
accept it. get the brand new gnex, sell it and buy another sgs2 ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decodex:
in hardware aspect sgs is much better, better camera powerfull cpu gpu and ... but in software i like aosp ics much more

[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
You are amazing...

thanks :D
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
I know someone will ask, what is different between this and Ice Cold Sandwich?

It's a kind of different. Ice Cold Sandwich is a hybrid that has a lot of AOKP feature modifications called ROMControl, and uses twisted's camera source, frameworks and other ode.

Playground ICS is more 'standard' base in mind, a lot like how a future CM9 would look like.

There are no fancy mods, wallpapers and lots of random features. It is more of a 'professional' type rom that avoids adding unneeded features in order to have stability.
[HTC Incredible S] thuanngotau:
Just vote this thread 5 stars with many thanks to Kaijura!

Hope to see more details about this awesome release!

If anyone knows how to adjust the time-out settings for the button backlights, can you let me know? 5 seconds seems a bit too quick for my liking.
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
I'm not using this but its not under SETTINGS/Display/ Sleep?
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
I believe that only controls the screen timeout and not the buttons.
[HTC Incredible S] suaji:
Thanks Bro..

really appreciate it..

pm me for the link.. hehehe..

my isp really noob :D:D:D even subscribe 2Mbps..
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
@kiajura is this FaceLock mod applicable to ICold 5.6++?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] taha198:
@ Kaijura

DO you intend to maintain and update the rom? If yes than i will give it a go.

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
WOW another ICS ROM from Kaijura, you are on a roll bro!! I'll check it out for sure just because it came from you :D
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
I am too much in love with IceCold at the moment :)

But am sure kaijura would make this special too

thanks again kaijura.. you are a star!
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Yes, I will update when I see features necessary. Twisted's mostly been working on camera functionality this past week so it doesn't bring much other feature than what is already there.

Some that is working currently here:

- Facelock in PIN and Pattern modes

- Dual settings pane

- Galaxy nexus navigation bar: function is implemented, you can toggle it, but not operational yet

Basically, this is a standard version of CM9-type ICS with less features than Ice Cold (no weather & lockscreen weather etc, extra options from ROMControl). It's made for stability and daily driver use.

For those who were getting reboots possibly from features in Ice Cold, this may be something to try for a change if you hated the problems.

@mr nick, good call on the buttons. Consider it a power saving feature? ;)

I'll look into it.
[HTC Incredible S] jmccoy555:
I thought the ICS ROM choosing decision was getting easier, Ice Cold obviously.... but now I'm going to have to chose between your 2 great ROMs and its going to get difficult!!

Great work. Many thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] videofreak2:
another amazing rom kaijura, face unlock works flawlessly for me, although the camera app has to have taken a photo to preview in both rear and front cameras. also is there any way you can make the backlights stay on for the whole time the phone is awake? and not to be fussy, but is there a way you can implement the same style of notification toggles like your ice cold sandwich rom?

thanks for all your hark work kaijura!

edit: pictures from front facing camera also turn out upside down
[HTC Incredible S] bhaumik555:
Again great work kaijura but i have one request. Can you please implement Volume Wake button for power on the screen because my power button is very hard to press. Ofcourse i can see the same in Icecold Sandwith.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Maybe try flashing a AOSP IncS kernel?
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Kaijura's kernel got me past the htc screen, everything seems to be good so far.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Noticed any improvements? Or fixes?
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
This post hasn't been updated yet, I just checked and the newest version is from 2 days ago, and can be found on Twisted's github for Playground: http://twistedumbrella.github.com/Twisted-Playground/

Have Kaijura's Kernel rdy when you flash so that you can boot.

As for changes, I tried the one from the 9th and as I remember there where no options in system settings, and on this one Twisted has implemented quite alot. I haven't had much trouble on any of the roms build ICS-wise, but this one seems much more stable looking at how new it is.

Also I could recommend visiting the linked website for bugreports and info.

@Twisted, is Kaijura still operating this thread or do we need to be aware of your site instead?

@Twisted, one request, could you maybe implement the circle battery mod, as that has been a favorite for a long time, default battery is so "default" :D
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Just tried Twisted 20120421 build for a few moments. Screenshot function is fixed. Front face camera works but you have too set resolution to less than SXGA and the resulting photo is upside down.
[HTC Incredible S] Andrew_han:
At some point will this rom have a ota update system? That would make it just that much more awesome!
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Dunno, I forked the device and just started adding all the changes since the last one here. Didn't see any activity on github so I figured it might have been abandoned. Just trying to get everything on the same page. Couldn't really tell you much more except that everything I do is tracked on the site I posted.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
@Twisted, please keep up your great work on IncS. I believe many of us here are still using Playground.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
It's barely even started and it already sounds like it's going out of style.

I would suggest keeping a working kernel handy but a new one is being tested. This is another of the devices neither of us have writing the source so testing is a little more live than I usually prefer.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Now using latest build from Twisted (htc_vivo-ota-eng.TwistedZero). Flashed it over Playground 7 beta without full wipe. Works no problem except having to manually install Apex again. Like I said earlier, Screenshot power button function works now. Front face camera works partially but Face Lock works fine.
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
I think i will switch to this rom since kaijura abandoned ice cold ...
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
I dont think its completely abandoned is it? DHD is on 7.4 test 6.
[HTC Incredible S] imepv7:
Is it more stable than ICS 7.2?
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Nope. Considering they get page after page of error report for every one I do, definitely not. The developer of that rom is an expert copy-paste artist with a degree in git merging (and now my nose is 10 feet long...)
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
A note to those installing latest from 23.04.2012, you might need to flash Kaijura's kernal as the stock one causes screen to mess up.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
It will probably be like that until enough information is provided to figure out why it is not working. I am not using the kaijura kernel as a base, but the one I use has a lot of vivo updates to it and uses a similar config. Problem is there is no device for me to test with, so not much I can do in terms of figuring it out.
[HTC Incredible S] Bionik_kaos:
i love this rom i think its syable enough to use everyday ... i can live with the flaws for now until you guys get the sources to go further and i heard its gonna be very soon right after the htc disire
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
What's waiting on the desire? I wait for no man. I am darn close to the 720p fix and then it will be more or less fully ready with just patching up bits and pieces.
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
I am now downloading htc_vivo-ota-eng.TwistedZero.zip from 2012-04-24 21:01:46 - thank you!

should I install another kajura's kernel? or it has a new kernel buid in?
[HTC Incredible S] Bionik_kaos:
sorry lol didnt mean to offend anyone i was just saying that ics will be easier to work with

btw why instagram works on wifi so is a few other apps ... any idea ?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Will a logcat enough for your troubleshooting? I can do that later today when I get back home. It's always good to have another option for kernels.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I just flashed the 20120424 build and with the default kernel I experienced what nsordk said. The whole screen, including menu and dialog box, would randomly shift up. I tried to capture the screen but the resulting picture is normal.

Just let me know if you need any particular information to troubleshoot.

BTW, the latest build 20120424 seems fine so far. Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
So which kernel is the best to use then? As kaj has more than 1
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Mine is the stock kernel from icecoldsandwich downloadable in one of the first posts on their page.

x-ics-v3 as I remember.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
adb pull /proc/config.gz /some_easy_place/config.gz

Since i'm using an ace kernel base that configuration should get it sorted.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Man your website is teasing me on stock browser. Can open to the list of versions, but not further, and opera will not scroll in the popup :)

Solution for download visit this link:

http://d-h.st/users/TwistedUmbrella/?fld_id=1569#files

@Twisted, I am still experiencing reboots in stock browser, will upload a catlog for you as soon as I can.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Wasn't sure if you wanted the file or I should do something, but here you have configs from both kernals running (dunno if they are the same ;) )
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Sorry to ask stupid question but is everyone still getting freezes and reboots when you run more than 1 graphic app. Its to do with the old adreno egl libraries (pre icecold v6) stops the crashing when using multiple high graphics apps.

Just wondering if latest playground has this problem?
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
It does, I tried the latest build and it freezed more often like IceColdSandwich v6 and below. I switched back to Icecold 7.2 because it's more stable and doesn't need to have the battery pulled as frequently.
[HTC Incredible S] aftab565:
really smooth , loving it . no FC ( been using it for 2 days !!) battery life is decent , it lasts 1 day and i huess battery life will be better with update .

i would love to to have battery life like GB roms . but so far, this one is my daily driver for sure ..
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Lol. Sorry that made me laugh. Is this phone a dual core? Because the fix for lockups and freezes is as simple as changing the build.prop value for windows per second to 240 if it is.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Just found problem with build 20120424. No sound can be heard. I tried both media and notification. Its just silence. And running Music app will reboot the phone. Fall back too 20120421 now.
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
hehe, was actually thinking my ringtone was low on the last call I had.

@twisted, IncS is single core.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Then the values should right. It's weird the same thing is no longer an issue on the other devices after fixing that.

Audio should be fixed in the build compiling now though.
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Well regardless of whether you think it's fixed fixed or not, it still freezes more often than ICS 7.2.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
Thanks. I don't have the phone, so all I have to go by is responses from people like you. When they're as useful as this one, how much can really be done?

I'm picking up where things left off to keep you guys updated. If another build works better, then use it. If you want to improve this one, then offer enough information to do so. If you don't care, you don't have to waste your time. Someone who does will spend theirs.

It was funny because it's the same thing that happened last time I did a device I didn't have down to how helpful the person was in getting it fixed. Difference was on that one someone stepped in who actually wanted it to get resolved.
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Just ship it to twistedumbrella to let him do you a favour;)

sent from my ics device
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
oh dear, have a swing at the guy who pleases us totally free of charge ...
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I'm sure the freezing is down to having more than one heavy graphics app running such as angry birds.

I think we will just have to wait til we get the ics kernel
[HTC Incredible S] nsordk:
Like you say last I had my freeze I saw that I had 6+ websites running in the back, since I closed those I haven't been able to reproduce the freeze to do a logcat.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah I had two freezes, one when playing angry birds and the other when just in the app draw, however I had alot of muititasking apps in the background that I hadn't closed down.

Did you ever use virtuous quattro?

I don't think it had the same problem but I'm sure we will get a fix soon enough with HTC releases kernel source code.
[HTC Incredible S] twistedumbrella:
I have a 3.0 kernel and that is not causing the issues. It is the lowmemorykiller setup and related configuration but I haven't found the right settings
