[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Well, firs of all, ICS is a different OS and it designed for ext4. GB is designed to run on RFS. This is my thinking. I, myself have no issue running ext4. I don't even trust odin to do the conversion. I always convert back to rfs before odin or do backup. But like JihadSquad said, backup and restore with mixing rfs/ext can cause corruption and brick your phone. This is something that very simple but can be "overlook" or just simply "forgot" during backup/retore process. For what it worth, I would stay with RFS if you want headache free.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
No, most android phones use EXT4. Samsung just insists on RFS, which is based off of FAT32 (very slow). They created it themselves. Since they own the drivers for it, our CM9 build uses EXT4 because it is AOSP.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shadowchasr:
And this means what? Cant keep track of filesystem to avoid hours of frustration at the Sammy screen? This is virtually unbrickable...
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Read my post (#165). Doing that will pretty much hard brick the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
There are thousand of posts debating between rfs and ext4 (pros and cons and long term corruption (bad blocks)). Some posts even mentioned that with ext4, for some people it's fast and for some it laggy. I used both and, is it really faster? to me I don't feel it and I don't see it. One phone I used rfs and one I used ext4 for testing purpose. But like I said for what it worth, keep it simple, stay with rfs for headache free. I saw too many people (either noob or pros) some time just plain simple "forget" that they're on ext4. This is a matter of choice. For one maybe ext4 and others maybe rfs.

EDIT: Here is one of the unlucky one:

ext4 filesystem

looks like my SGS2 corrupted it's /system and /data ext4 partitions so now they're read-only:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /data ext4 ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noa uto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

so now it's pretty much unusable.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Hmm so maybe samsung uses RFS for a reason. Never heard of an EXT4 phone doing this though. Also, EXT4 is undoubtedly faster than RFS. You get more raw I/O speed. Booting will be faster, running titanium backup will be faster etc. But in day to day use, it won't make too much of a difference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tintn00:
Same here.

Can someone provide the link to what the senior developer said? I don't want to change my entire phone based on hearsay.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cyblet:
Thanks. I see, live and learn. That is essentially what I had to do to get it working again. It basically put it in download mode. I was thinking about doing Nitro's FP1 stock deodexed/debloated/rooted upgrade. Can this be done once I took my OTA upgrade? In other words, since I'm already at FP1, can I just upgrade to that package? Will it wipe everything on my phone? I would need to do a backup of my apps through Titanium Backup then restore them after?
[Verizon Droid Charge] thedonofdeath:
hello, ok so I installed stock ep4d (odin) , then used Samsung recovery to update, then odin cwm, then used cwn to install the bloated/rooted, everything works including wifi and 4g. the only issue I have is that wifi will not work on browsers (neither stock browser or dolphin, but it will update email, weatherbug, works in market and everything, just not browsers, yet 4g works in both browsers just fine? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated lol :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Yes you can, just flash the Nitro's rom with cwm. Don't forget to mount /system, wipe cache/davik cache and wipe data before flashing. You need to backup everything, it will wipe everything. once done restore user apps only, not system apps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
check the proxy settings in your wifi option. Make sure all the proxy settings are blank.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
If I remembered correctly, one of post, posted in Tom's world (tom-world.org). If you can't find it let me know. Basically, people have different opinion about rfs and ext4. Samsung has re-tune rfs in GB and it's pretty much almost as fast as ext4, but it's better on battery, more stable and a lot less stress on memory compared to ext4(ext4 hits hard on memory). Most of people mistaken that it's faster due to quadrant score raised after install ext4. Day to day usage, you see no different between the two. Ext4 is only good if you have a good kernel driving it. Now there is a small percentage that ext4 can corrupt and brick your phone, the question is will you want to take that chance?? and for what gain??
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
That's my point, if you re-design your own driver and kernel for ext4 then it should be ok, like CM9 or ICS. but here we are using samsung driver and kernel which designed to run on RFS, not ext4. Think about it, we're taking window 98 (FAT32 file system) and try to run it on NTFS (windows 2003).
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
We have a new Core Droid Theme for FP1 Deodexed/Debloated with Eclipse AOSP apps.

Alright folks, i bought my Note last Saturday after breaking my Atrix screen the 2nd time. (fixed it myself and then broke it a week later again and then broke the USB when it broke the 2nd time.) Anyway, i am loving my Note and was due for an upgrade anyway. I haven't had to deal with MHL Adapters before, my Atrix had an actual mini HDMI out. Are there any that are better than others or brands that i need to stay away from?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] reigndropz:
Are the only differences in GSM/CDMA roms just the bands themselves? Is it possible to use an XIP file from a CDMA rom and throw it into a GSM one?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
There's a few more differences than that. Check the topic in the development section about GSM patches for CDMA ROMs - the work's already been done for you there. I'm running Axi0m right now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reigndropz:
Thanks man. I was talking abou the opposite though. I have a CDMA Razr. I wanted to know if I can mod the GSM one to run it on my CDMA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Why would you need to do that when almost all the ROMs for GSM are CDMA ports now? Which one in particular?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reigndropz:
I'd say its about 50/50. Specifically, theres no stock deodexed right now for CDMA but theres quite a few for GSM .

But this is what is happening, I don't know what to write more. It just shows 8 emails of inbox, I cant scroll, open or do anything with these. Only way to leave Gmail App is to click home button. Sometimes even that is not working. From time to time it looks like it refresh whole screen from left to right with same 8 emails. The phone is top part near camera becoming hotter during this. I am running official 2.3.4 GB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodstock_ahem:
First check if process Gapps is running or not.. Then..

Try resetting Gmail... Go to settings-> Apps -> all -> Gmail.. then clear cache/clear data... Launch Gmail again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torulf:
I've got pretty much the same problem on my S2, though it behaves a little bit different; the left to right refresh/animation is going totally crazy and when I try to leave the application using the home key it almost always opens itself again. Sometimes it doesn't refresh like crazy, instead the Gmail UI is totally unresponsive. I am running a CF-rooted stock 2.3.5 ROM (XWKI8).

EDIT: I've tried resetting Gmail, it didn't make any difference at all..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zilez2003:
So, I am not alone. Hope someone will help. Cleared all cache and data settings, all the same. Even was taking battery of the phone for 10 mins - no result.

Very very strange, my phone has started having this very issue as of today, too.

Hello,

I searched via Google before posting this message. If I missed something, I'm sorry..

I'm using RCMix v4 and I think the ICS dock bar is cool than rosie.

Anyway to port it on our GB Sense 3.5 ROMS?

Ps: sorry about bad English. :P
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] shino82:
i dont see any chance at the moment (but i´m not a dev).

why you not use for example go launcher with an ics theme instead?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mrdenniz:
Ah I love my phone with sense :) hate custom launcher apps..
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] arknailed7754:
Debateable i returned to sense again...ive adw pro its sweet
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] tozzifan:
Maybe you should give a try at Go Launcher Ex and apply kovdev's ICS theme (it is easy to find in the market). It themes dock, icons and wallpapers.

By changing the launcher you'll keep the Sense apps (dialer, messages, facebook, settings, ...), the statusbar and the lockscreen with its alert system. What will change is the dock, the app drawers and the desktop. Go Launcher is flexible, folders can be created in the app drawer and in the desktop (the desktop ones can include shortcuts and bookmarks).

Also, consider that by in launchers different than Sense you cannot have the HTC widgets.

Rosie can still be accessed by creating a shortcut with Anycut.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mrdenniz:
Okay, I accept with that the Go Launcher is a cool launcher application but as you said Sense widgets are not available. :(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] tozzifan:
There is no perfect solution yet, until we get a stable ICS rom. I found that I could live without Sense widgets, but I understand that it is a matter depending on taste and on how one uses his phone.

After buying my DHD I kept Rosie without trying to replace it for almost one year... until I discovered that with ADW Launcher I could get more than 4 x 4 icons per screen. That was so addictive that I never turned back :D

Later I left ADW for GO.

You should experiment until you find a setup that suits your needs, if you think Rosie is the place to be look up for themes for your ROM.

Hi

Can anyone shed some light. My SGN suddenly lost the ability to make phone calls ('Mobile Network Not Available' message), cannot connect to wireless network and cannot connect to mobile data. I rooted it about a week ago and it has been fine up until now.

I tried unrooting, re-rooting, re-flashing current firmware (LA6) and reflashing just the radio (LA4). All processes were successful but didn't fix the issue. I tried a different SIM, but no dice!

Is there anything else I should try? Does it look like I have a hardware problem?

Thanks.

The only phone that is similar to ours in size is the T989D, and we simply don't have enough market share. Heck, we barely have regular cases as it is.. kind of glad we at least have something from trident. Otherwise it would be all OEM/china type of cases.

Alright, this thread is for all developers to post their progress, sources, etc for other developers to work on. There will be NO tolerance of "Good job" "thanks" etc, just click the damned button on the bottom. Now, what I have so far, is found that the tiamat kernels from cayniarb don't even boot so no kernel logs from that. I assume jmz may have something to contribute with kernels. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Here's a port of the flyer ICS rom (not the one chaos is working on) for the view. It boots to a black screen but you can get a logcat. We have gotten it to the bootanimation before so it should'nt be hard to do. If someone posts logcats (since I don't have the view) I will still help out :)

What we really need is a good work over the kernel aspect.. I think cayniarb's done a decent job getting it initiated but he doesn't have a view to test it on :/

I only understand how to modify the source of existing kernels, getting AOSP kernel out of the source for whatever was tailored by HTC is way beyond my skill, so I look towards you guys for that.

We've have several guys trying to work on a kernel though, what's the status from each of their end? (Thought they were all working independently, etc)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
You could possibly use the boot.img from the kingdom ICS leak (evo design 4g) since it's the same exact chip and pretty much the same Hw except for the screen(which could cause an issue?). I tried just booting that leak(only changing the partitions in the update-script to match the views) and of course it was a no go which I expected but had to give it a shot anyway. lol So then I edited the build.prop and copied over some libs (which I think is the problem since they are HC libs). I also unpacked both the stock HC boot.img and the kingdom leak boot.img. I'm thinking I have to make changes there but I dont know what to change. I dont even get logcat access just stuck at the HTC screen
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
You could try changing the bootclasspath in the init.rc file of the ramdisk to that of ICS? I've read around before that doing that would make a port boot but I've never had such luck in doing so. If I could ever get this uploaded maybe I can try and help if it has a logcat.
