Tested them both as well. I use TB for backup reasons while rom toolbox to change fonts, LCD density and other minor things.

I keep a copy of TB on the sd card so that I install it as soon as I install a new rom.

Please can someone download the latest version of port forwarder from another phone which supports port forwarder from the play store/market. Its a free app so im not asking for warez, i just desperately need this app. I have found an older version through a google search and the port forwarding doesnt seem to work so please will someone download the app and post it here and i can test if it works and if it doesnt work then thats either the reason why its listed as not compatiable or im doing the port forwarding wrong.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] jithinav:
Can u specify the exact app name?

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] stephen.brader:
Search port forwarder in the market/play store. Port forwarder is the exact app name and does not show up when searching on wildfire as it says its apparentely not compatiable so please could you search for it from another android phone and hopefully its compatiable. I think its just not compatiable due to small wildfire resolution so if you gota higher resolution android then i think it will be compatiable and then you can download it and post it here for me

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkumar:
Hello to all...

First and foremost... I have been a long time xda site viewer and today is the first time I have registered to xda and bought the xda premium app to support this wonderful site. :)

I know the first rule is to search for answers, i tried searching but couldn't find it. Mine is a peculiar question that I hope can be resolved. :(

I have flashed my i9100 at least 50 over times. Flashing addict, you can say. Custom and stock roms. My typical routine is to do a full wipe:

1) remove sim and external sd, format usb storage under settings

2) enter cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.

3) mount sd card, data, system...and format each of them

4) flash stock rom (KI3, 3 files version and repartition with. Pit). Repartition for a proper clean flash. I know some may disagree, so i have tried without it too.

5) flash cf-root, copy custom rom and perform steps 1-3 again. Except for wiping sdcard for obvious reasons.

6) flash custom rom and reboot, allowing 10 mins for software to sync in fully.

7) flash custom kernel of choice, current favourite being Neak kernel.

I have done this so many times i believe its the best to gauge the full potential of the custom rom, including battery life. I am really obsessive,. But I am patient enough.

However i just so happened to notice recently that after stock flash, i.e. After step 4 with stock kernel, i tried sliding the status bar for the brightness adjusting. To my surprise it works. Now that is not suppose to be the case. Especially after i have performed complete albeit unnecessary wipes. Someone please explain this phenomenon. Is the custom kernels 'hard encoding' our sgs2? If not is there another method of reformat that completely cleans your phone? I even tried ultimate Samsung cleaning script. Same thing.

Sorry for the long read. :oBut I wanted to highlight this issue clearly for the experts here to discuss. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkumar:
Anyone? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandip.banik:

Hello, Before flashing any other kernel, please flash the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script,thats found here.. : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363738&highlight=ultimate+kernel+cleaning+script

hope this solves your problem!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkumar:
Thanks mate... I have tried it. But let me try it again with latest version. Which is better? Ultimate Samsung cleaning script or gblitz version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As long as you do one or the other .

But even without using a kernel x should overwrite kernel b .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkumar:
Great, but i do believe for the need for a proper kernel cleaning before installing a new kernel. As clearly illustrated by my example here. Funnily enough not many developers have picked up on this. Android is sure complicated in the hands of the experienced and noobs alike.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
At least two kernel cleaners posted here for a very rarely posted problem that is usuall the user not following instructions .

Kernel cleaner is not required in normal use .

Flash kernel and it changes .

Use kernel cleaner is really to make sure none of the advanced settings remain otherwise not required and i would only use if changing custom kernels .My kernel count must be over 200 by now .

Android is sure complicated in the hands of the experienced and noobs alike.

Yep what is required is more FAQS and Guides for nobody to read .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkumar:
I thought so too, i normally use kernel cleaning scripts when i change roms or kernels. It's just that, sometimes i do not cause not many people here seem to talk about it.

I have yet to try it and reconfirm this theory of needing kernel cleaning scripts before flashing new roms with different kernels. Once I try it out, soon, i will post again. Then i think, developers out there should pick this up as part of their recommended steps for a full wipe or rather clean flash of a new kernel, esp if changing kernel.

Keep you guys posted... Thanks jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkumar:
Hi guys,

Just to update anyone who has been reading this previously...

I have just reflashed to stock xwla4, the frankenstein version, i.e, stock kernel. With clean wipe/format, whatever you wanna call it, and still same results. Old kernel behaviour still present, i.e. Brightness adjustment via sliding status bar still present. I even reflashed a good 3 times with same stock rom, xwla4 (2times) and ki3. Also before each flash i also used ultimate Samsung cleaning script and the gblitz version. Still same issue. Can someone explain what is happening?

In case you are wondering, this is not a complaint thread but a hobby for to troubleshoot problems with our dear sgs2. So that we can all learn.

Thanks... Jk

Sounds like the script cleaner will not work (see posts 177 through 179) with ICS custom kernels...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I'm a bit at a loss... why are you are NOT expecting this? I am on stock XXKI3 (2.3.5), and have never flashed anything newer, or a custom ROM. I've always had this behavior of adjusting the brightness via the status bar. As far as I know, I had it when I was on XWKE7 (2.3.3) as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkumar:
Ha... I was not aware that the brightness slider via status bar is part of stock behaviour. I always thought that it was introduced by custom kernels. Can someone else please confirm this. So we can put this issue to rest. If it's true then pardon me for my noobness. Thanks... Jk

[Nook Color General] jakelov:
Any suggestions on the best setting to get my nookie running like buttery smooth?

Basically, please list your settings in the SYSTEM section of... SETTINGS screen.....

And any other setting you may deem pertinent to mention here.

Also list "checked " or "unchecked" for settings with ... checkboxes.

P.s .

Im running eyeballers opengl nightlies off emmc and v6 SUPAcharged! With a 16 gig sandisk SD.

Preemptive thanks for any response! I really 'Preciate any input n suggestions!
[Nook Color General] SeaFractor:
Buttery Smooth and an Alpha release shouldn't necessarily be expected.

At this point, it's necessary to realize that 2D acceleration is not fully complete and hardware acceleration for video is non-existant.

That said, it's pretty smooth for an Alpha. Wait several more months for "buttery smooth" to become more "likely" in terms of comparing to the competition.

Hopefully you didn't buy an NC just to try out ICS. Great ereader tab that can do much more, but it's way under powered for ICS. You might find that Gingerbread is the best environment with our memory limited device (only 512MB of RAM) and only a single core processor.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Same here. As stated earlier this is the best the Alpha can perform at this time.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
I switched over to ics,and I feel like it is smooth as can be. There are some features missing, but not that many. And development is brisk, which is an understatement.

Just got new touchscreen drivers, and it's great.

If you really want smoothness, us the non-OpenGL builds. I can't use the GL builds as a daily driver myself. Too gitchy w/o hardware acceleration. But that development continues as well. The 3.x kernel we'll probably need (unless the backporting stuff makes a big leap) has some real fine stuff happening. Want to see the sausage getting made?

3.x kernel development thread.

That thread is for the Nook Tablet, but has inspired the work now being done for the Kindle Fire, and will probably be where the Color's HW acceleration comes from as well.

If you're no help to the project (like me), use your thanks button and leave the thread open for the developers! I'm of the opinion that thread derailment is what drives the real devs to IRC and closes the process off from those who would like to watch. I am sure I am just as guilty as the next person, but try and find some development-related posts in any of the ICS threads on the entire Nook Color development board. It has turned into an endless Q&A about settings and boot animation, one that repeats itself almost every other day.

What was this thread about? :p. I should learn to take my own advice.

Settings, huh? Hmmmm...don't apply a bunch of tweaks unless you know what they do. You'll end up causing more hurt than help, most likely. The CM team spends it's time working to make the ROM as smooth as possible. Every augmentation above that tends to come with a cost, which might be worth it to you personally, but not for everyone. For instance, the wifi scan interval gets raised from 30 to 180 with the V6 (which I also use). This conserves a very small amount of battery, but makes it difficult to have a quick reconnect if you have shaky internet. I tend to suspect that the v6 is possibly behind the reconnection issues after sleep people have been reporting. But maybe not, I haven't looked into it too deeply. But the point remains. It was set to 30 as a default b/c it was considered to be the best for the end user.

Caveat emptor, you feel me?
[Nook Color General] jakelov:
Hey thanks for the intuitive reply.... truth be told, I hadn't even considered installing any of the non gl builds til now. You've helped me to broaden my horizons instead of remaining stuck in a semi operational hardware acceleration haze! Kudos for the nudge.

Epic Rom
[HTC Sensation] sergeybrin:
You have a few options...

CM7 - Gingerbread, very stable, 720p camcorder only, outdated due to ICS

CM9 - Pretty stable but no camcorder, decent amount of features

TripNDroidOS (available at rootzwiki) - Lots of features, not entirely stable yet, no camcorder

Virtuous Inquisition - Not actually an AOSP rom, but a Sense rom with nearly all the sense components removed. No custom features; just bare-bones quasi-AOSP with working 1080p camcorder

I've been switching around. Currently I'm on Vorbeth's CM9 and liking the stability a lot, although I miss having all the features of TripNDroidOS.

Not really, I always found it annoying. Nothing more annoying than listening to conversations in your super market by some wanna be thugs talkin to his baby mama
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Hell yeah! PTT works great in the field. @
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
Always saw it as useful to people who can't be bothered to take off gloves or drop tools, like construction workers or garbage men. Its just instant speaker phone, right? I just remember a few friends having it and hearing that annoying chirp and listening to a conversation i'm not a part of. Pick up the phone and talk if you aren't preoccupied, chances are people aren't impressed and find you annoying. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] Meanee:
PTT could be a blessing or a curse.

LONG time ago, I worked as an IT in a hospital, and was given a huge-ass iDEN phone. While it was great for my purpose (people in another branch could always get in touch with me), I grew tired of thug wannabes dialing random numbers and trying to see if they find a female on other end. Always pleasant when you sit in a meeting and all of a sudden *chirp* yo baby wassup! And no, I always had to keep this thing on, even during meetings. Company policy.

But other than that, it was great. Looking forward to it on Android, as long as you can set privacy settings, and maybe ability to reject callers on initial callup.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Sure, "Thug Wannabes" could be a problem. I grew up in a country part of Central Florida, and EVERYONE has it. They still run it. My dad just got rid of it recently. So, I'm glad it's coming back. There was a way to make your conversations go through the earpiece and not the speaker. Some people just didn't have the decency to do it that way.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Here's my take... If they are using their Data Network for this, than it's going to be worthless, the already existing TikL, is AWFUL if you don't have a decent signal. If it's going to be based off of their talk/text network, then I'm all for it, it would probably work much better.

[HTC EVO 3D] castano22:
That would be awesome to have! Makes it easier than having to call someone. Just wonder what buttons you'll have to press to use it easier, or would you have to do it the same way as Voxer?
[HTC EVO 3D] Mindripper72:
Looking forward to this! Now I won't have to carry two phones at work. Any idea when it will be released?
[HTC EVO 3D] Fazulka:
I use tikl very often and it generally works fine even with only one bar of signal. I think it is by far the best PTT app for android. Tikl also has a privacy setting for all those who don't like that people can just chirp and start talking. With the privacy on no sound can come besides the chirp until you respond.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
Well i do agree over hearing conversations can be annoying it wasnt just thugs everyome was guilty of that. I work in construction and always have 2 phones on me. My gs2 ans my i756. Alot of times its so loud i cant hear my gs2 ring but i can hear the 2 way on my nextel. It would be nice for my girlfriend to be able to 2way me if its something important.
[HTC EVO 3D] IAmSixNine:
HeyTell works pretty well for what it is.

It will be interesting to see if the app Sprint will be using is true time direct connect or voice storage.

The down side is the speakers on some android devices are horrible, EVO 4G and EVO 3D come to mind. Thats one of the main reasons i went to the Epic Touch, better external audio.
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
lol lol lol

But contractors rely on that kind of communication

[HTC EVO 3D] xfrobex:
I don't sell drugs anymore, so I really don't need PTT. Plus its kinda useless if its an app that does it, because without the actual hardware button, wouldn't you have to unlock your phone to reply?

Since ptt is on 800Mhz and the 3d has a 800Mhz antenna could we use the camera button to have ptt? In theory of course
[HTC EVO 3D] IAmSixNine:
Unfortunately it doesnt work that way.

There is no chipset for iDEN. Motorola Direct Connect Service.

Similar to having a CDMA phone not working on GSM network.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Just a thought.. why the jebus do I have an 800Mhz antenna if its not going to be used? Ty for the info though
[HTC EVO 3D] IAmSixNine:

I was able to extract Sprint Direct Connect Now from the Kyocera Rise and install it on my EVO 4G LTE. It installed fine but when I ran the app I got a message saying that my phone was not a supported device at this time and gave me an option to uninstall it. I guess we need to wait till Sprint opens up the app to more devices.

I have been able to test out the app and it does work pretty good. My only complaint is that when pressing the "Push to talk button" you need to wait for a second or two before starting to speak because the person on the other end of the connection will only receive the later part of your message. Hopefully the delay will be shortened in time as the app is refined and developed for more handsets.

I am actually excited about this, but don't know anyone still using a direct connect phone anymore. I used to work for companies that used them, and had several friends that did. I'll try it once available.

Edit: this would be way cooler for our phones of we could map the PTT to the camera button, or even the power or one of the capacitive buttons.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigdaddybx2:
can you also sent me the link as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] CJohnson1073:
I no longer have the file and I just turned in the phone that I was testing today. For some unknown reason, the app stopped working a couple days ago and wouldn't connect online. I uninstalled and re-installed the app several times with the same results. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work and deemed it unreliable to use in a hospital environment. Hopefully Sprint can better develop the app and open it up to more devices. I for one like the idea off adding it to my EVO 4G LTE rather than carrying around two separate phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] anex99:
Is there anyone else who still has this APK and is willing to send it to me? I would appreciate it it. I cancelled my iDEN service a month ago due to network vision and now have CDMA. I would really like to try this out.
