[Samsung Captivate Glide] macwhite1:
It is from my work on this today that if you have 2.3.6 you are already up to date just like it told you.

I did manage to upgrade myself from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 and it wasn't straight forward as you might think.

What I did was the following process. I downloaded the ATT stock firmware from Samfirmware. It is a zip file that you need to take the. Tar out of a.d flash through Odin 1.85. That got me back to bone stock 2.3.5.

Until I did this KieS WOULD NOT ACKNOLEDGE MY DEVICE! And until I ran it through the KEIS update the OTA update would not complete. Getting the picture?

So after I did the Kies update it left me exactly the same result as the samfirmware. But for some reason the OTA worked and completed and bumped me up to 2.3.6.

NOW kies indeed says it will not upgrade anything on my device anymore This leads me to believe that my device is ready for an OTA update for ICS.

I will stay unrooted and locked and stock until further notice.

Thanks,

Mac
[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
i had unrooted my phone and went back to stock using the att firmware on the samfirmware site. upgrade check would say i was up to date, even though i was on 2.3.5. i went on the ATT site and used the chat support and asked them to push me the update. worked like a charm
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AraDreamer:
Did that get you ICS or 2.3.6?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] macwhite1:
I got 2.3.6 OTA..... its now saying I am up to date. Just checked from settings menu.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
2.3.6 is what i received OTA

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clobber:
Hello,

I have the International GSM unlocked version of the GNex. Shortly after purchase, I did something I have not done in many many years. I actually bought something from Radio Shack. As it seems none of the big stores have any cases for the GNex, I just happened to pass by an RS and found the OtterBox Defender. I absolutely hated it:

1) It seems the very top of the case did not fit tightly enough. The main issue was that it made it VERY difficult to access the notification bar on the GNex. I actually had to squeeze the case a little.

2) There is space between the screen protector and screen. This made it very easy for dust, threads, junk to get between the two.

3) The case never seemed to really go together solid. It always kind of squeeked (which I have seen in other threads)

4) Having come from the GSM HTC Hero, one thing that I was worried about in switching to the GNex was slipping it into my pocket. I have been very impressed with how slim the GNex is. The OtterBox made it a big hunk of junk.

One thing I have not figured out is if the GSM International version might be a slightly different size than the Verizon version? The look the same in the store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsweetness:
The international GSM version is thinner than the LTE version that Verizon has. That might account for some of your issues. Although even with the difference in thickness, there's still a bit of space between the screen and the screen protector on the LTE version. Many people have complained about the dust and random crap that gets in there on the Defender case.

I have the Defender for the Galaxy Nexus (it came with it), and I personally don't like it either. I used it for all of half a day before I decided that it just wasn't for me. I ended up going with the Diztronic case, and it's just about perfect. It even works with the OEM extended battery for the LTE version. I typically don't like TPU cases, but this one doesn't feel like a TPU case once it's on. It has a much more solid feel without adding much of any bulk to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
I had similar impressions with the Otterbox Defender that one of my friends had on his Nexus S. It seems to offer great protection, but the built-in screen protector caused more problems than a stick-on kind.

I love the Commuter series cases and had one on my Galaxy Nexus for a few months until I got the SGP Crumena leather sleeve. I've been very impressed with it so far - a fantastic case that isn't a case ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android01:
Im using a gsm nexus with the defender . I removed the screen protector with goo gone, then applied an ebay type screen protector directly to the screen . Major improvement with that dust behind the lense problem. Now about the size. The defender is literally too big for the gsm model. I folded a microfiber cloth and placed it behind the phone. That made it fit better until i get a bigger battery. Ive heard rumors that the 2200 mah batteries fit inside the defender with all the extra room.

[TouchPad General] -juanito-:
hello

i will buy HP TP and i want to know what is the best ICS ROM with mos of things is working ??
[TouchPad General] psp888:
Latest CM9
[TouchPad General] sean is here.:
Should I wear my black shoes today or the gray ones?
[TouchPad General] dpaul007:
Pink.

The CM9 nightlies are working great for me
[TouchPad General] njbuzz:
AOKP has been running great for me.
[TouchPad General] xfalcox:
Classic Nerd and CherryKang working great here.
[TouchPad General] Oldpapa49:
This is liking who has the best Pizza.. Everyone has a preference.

Since these are APLHA, each will have a plus and minis to them.

CM9 Alpha 2 has nightlies, so they are doing this and that, and it might break CM or not. So staying up to date CM is the way to go.

ClassicNerd and AOKP are also work in progress setting out on updates that are as stable as can be, but, nothing always works perfect. Its ALPHA's per se

I would load in CM first since it all started with them. Test it and if seems stable enough, save it using CWM. Then start checking the CN AOKP Cherries and all..

This is what is nice, you can save anything and test it.. If you LIKE IT, stick with it..

I use both CM9 A2 on my TP and CN on wifes.. No problem with either than no Netflix on CN..But there is always a work around..
[TouchPad General] Thirsterhall:
My 2 cents.

I've tired just about all of them. While most worked I found most also had one problem or another at least for me. For example some didn't support my HP Bluetooth keyboard properly. IE when using the keyboard the soft-keyboard also poped up and all the keys on the physical keyboard didn't work properly. Others had WiFi issues. Despite connecting to the same WiFi hot spots some ROM's couldn't reliably make a connection while others worked 100% of the time.

In the end I'm using the CM9 nightly since it at a least for me has no issues and everything I use works great, good WiFi, Bluetooth keyboard etc.
[TouchPad General] aqw955:
should I buy a touchpad if I intend to use android?
[TouchPad General] rkaede:
nope. there's numerous android tablet available in the market. out of the box ready to use. :D
[TouchPad General] aqw955:
well if they perform the same, I dont mind to tinker a bit with it. and its cheaper too :D
[TouchPad General] slm2008:
cm9 works good
[TouchPad General] cccerberus:
i waited until CM9 A2

its solid, but not perfect (camera not working)

I'm not doing nightlies because there have been a couple problems and don't want to risk bricking anything

ultimately, it is all what you like better, several options.

i'm waiting for beta now

(and btw thank you to those involved in dev work!)
[TouchPad General] leftovermagic:
still no. In a month or two, ASUS will be releasing a Google tablet that will likely be better spec'd for less than you can buy a touchpad for today. It will in all likelyhood see just as much love as the touchpad, if not more so due to availability.
[TouchPad General] aqw955:
hmm.. I could get a used touchpad for $150
[TouchPad General] maxcc:
#14

but the Asus Tegra3 tablet will be 7'' wich is as close to my phone than to my TP...

7 inch is too small for a Tablet IMO, especially with all the new phones that have a screen size of 4.3''++
[TouchPad General] dung8604:
I'm like you, I kind of like tinkering. If I wanted a phone/tablet that worked out of the box, I would get an apple (don't hate, you know what I say is true). But I like tinkering, trying new ROMS, and I'm kind of a flashoholic. So I bought the touchpad for 160. Tell me where else you can get this kind of hardware for that price?
[TouchPad General] travisross69:
I prefer Classicnerd, but right now it doesn't support Netflix and YT HD, so I am on CM9 official nightly. Right now its the most up to date from out there with the new ICS 4.0.4 merge just released from Google. Its sleek fast and right on.
[TouchPad General] mike-y:
I have a Touchpad and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (got it refurb'd). Performance wise, they are very similar (both on ICS). The touchpad actually benchmarks a little bit higher than the GTab.

I'm running AOKP milestone 4 CM9 on both tablets, and I can tell you the TP runs ICS silky smooth. Neither one has a working camera in ICS, but I don't use it, so it's not a bother to me. The TP does tend to have more bugs (wifi for some), and mine had the sleep of death until I disabled the lock screen, and installed a different kernel (don't know which one fixed it, lol).

The G-Tab is a bit nicer, lighter, thinner, and has a better/sharper screen. But for the price, the Touchpad really can't be beat.
[TouchPad General] antp121:
why? The touchpad is great for the price! If you can find a cheap one you've struck gold. Look, if you don't like/ want to flash roms get an android tablet. Me, im a flashaholic I like to flash the lasted of everything. Its an addiction I need to stop :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnwiredDroid:
I am bit confused yesterday when I installed the ClockWorkMod Recovery Touch by Koush, after installing it via the recovery, it was working well but then when I boot again to recovery mode, it returned to the CMW-Based Recovery.

I think the CMW-Based was installed during my first CF-Rooting.

So now, what is the difference between ChainFire's CWM-Based and Koush's CWM Recovery?

TIA
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Recovery is linked to the kernel, any recovery you flash independently of a kernel will not persist after reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Non-touch one is old recovery and touch one is new with "touch" as the only difference
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnwiredDroid:
I know that mate, but it works once during installation then after booting to recovery again, I am still geting the CWM-Based Recovery instead of CWM-Touch Recovery, make sense?

Also, Chainfire published the CWM-based while Koush's owns the CWM-Recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Have you an app CWM that is touch recovery .

But a CWM and rooted kernel that is an older CWM recovery .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnwiredDroid:
Yes it is the older CWM, I want to replace it with the Touch version, but it will only work once. After installing and reboot again to recovery mode, I am still getting the old CWM.

We need ICS and CyanogenMod 9 together for galaxy Y.

Galaxy Y has better specs than Galaxy Mini or Pop.

The same time to port unofficial CyanogenMid in Galaxy Mini or Pop is just going to pass. I have read that the kernels are developed for Galaxy Y just the porting time is left. Please if there is any Dev port ICS and CyanogenMod to Galaxy Y

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Are you saying that you have used this to successfully "specifically" unlock an I727 Skyrocket? Not just an Android phone, but an actual I727? I ask this because I have seen several people assume that because the device worked on a one type of Android phone that it will work on the SkyRocket...and so far that has not been the case. So if you can confirm that it works on the SkyRocket and that "You" yourself have used it on a Skyrocket that would be great. Otherwise, I would hate to see people misled. Thank for keeping us informed, and I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just trying to make sure that this does indeed works on the SkyRocket. It sure would be great if it does.

**Edit**

I727 is listed on thier website as a supported device as of 2 revisions ago...but is also listed as USD$ 169.99. I guess if you have a bunch of phones you plan on using it on it could pay for itself (@ $25 per unlock code on the unlock sites you need to unlock 7 phones to make it a value).

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Blackstratolion:
Hello everybody. This is my first post and my first aproach into the Android world. I just got 1 day ago my Dinc2 from USA.

I'm from Argentina and I unlocked the phone with a code. I had no problem using the phone for sms and voice calls but when it comes to data connection I can't use it on 3g mode.

I believe that the Verizon ROM has not possibilities to connect to a 3g network in Argentina, so I would like to try another ROM. The problem is that I have to root the phone but I don't know how to deal with the baseband. To be honest I don't completely understand what the baseband is and why do I need to have a special baseband for Argentina, I still must do some research. But I'm very afraid of not being capable of using my 3g data connection EVER. That would make the phone almost useless.... quite sad.

I'd really appreciate if any of you could give me some advice about it.

Thanks a lot.

essentially cryptonite is the frontend GUI for encfs.

more of encfs:

http://www.arg0.net/encfs

market link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNzaC5jcnlwdG9uaXRlIl0.

Linux/Ubuntu users should be familiar with encfs (with various frontend GUI such as Cryptkeeper). Personally I find this is great program (in Ubuntu). Tried the one for android, still in beta but so far works well. Good alternative to Truecrypt. And those who are using Dropbox, this app has the support for that too.

Also the dev is super responsive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
Trying this out now. I love seeing apps like these as I'm in college for computer forensics.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
Excellent work. The poor security model that Dropbox is using is what prompted my move to Wuala. Client-side encryption/decryption ftw.

Glad to see someone addressing DB's faulty security.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] namebrandon:
I'll check that out!

I've been using LUKS, which is basically another BestCrypy/TrueCrypt for Android. It's a little finicky though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maxfac1234:
@agentdr8

The other alternative would be Spideroaks which has client side encryption too.

@namebrandon

Yeah, I tried LUKS, Encryption Manager (by Giraone) and Renzhi.

LUKS & Renzhi are like Truecrypt. The size is fixed in advance and it is a hassle to change the size at later date if you need more space afterwards - which can be done in Linux, but I am not so sure how you can change the size afterwards in Android though. Encryption Manager on the other hand - I am not sure how it works but it managed to screw up few of my files during decryption whilst I was experimenting with it.

Nice thing about encfs/cryptonite - the "pass-through" file system, the space/size grows as needed with no intervention from the user.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
Wow, sweet! I was looking for a TrueCrypt alternative for a while...

And I don't really like SpiderOak. On desktop it's cool, but the Android app is not really good...

Cryptonite now includes TrueCrypt

The latest alpha includes a command-line version of TrueCrypt. Get it from here: https://code.google.com/p/cryptonite/downloads/list

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabl8:
The value of this is as an encryption tool for dropbox or similar, when used with Foldersync or similar. Interestingly the latter can encrypt your files but only for Amazon S3. Unfortunately , the app needs root access to mount the encrypted volume on _my_ phone; how about you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maxfac1234:
Yeah, you need to be rooted to mount the locally enrcypted volume
