the gingerbread textinput-tng.apk causes error on miui, on Sony ICS rom it works. :confused: In my opinion the Xperia S keyboard is the best Xperia Keyboard, especially for the small ray display.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natheoni:
I am using the Galaxy Nexus/Verizon LTE model. 4.0.2 (stock/unrooted)

Had the same problem when I was running 4.0.4 and rooted.

When I download the Kindle app for android it works great for a while. Then...if I reboot my phone or just let it sit for a couple of hours, the app resets itself when I open it. Books are deleted. App is de-registered and I have to sign in all over again. Any thoughts?

The 2 recent Kindle app updates over the past few days have not fixed the problem.

(PS: Amazon seems a bit baffled. They have not been able to troubleshoot this as of yet)

I'm having the same problem, did you ever get this resolved? It seems to reset every time I go underground where there isn't a signal.
[Member-Found Deals] cdstewart:
I just called retentions as my cell contract, which I may get rid of, is coming up with rogers and they offered me a retentions plan for a tablet.

They are offering me a BNIB Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G for free on a 2 year contract on their flex plan, $25/month for 500MB, which admittadly isn't that much data, but yea I have unlimited with my WIND phone anyways.

But still, pretty good deal

Just thought I'd let me fellow Canadians know in case anyone was in the market for a tablet!
[Member-Found Deals] eyeb:
hm not too sure deal is so great, you pay $600 over 2 years. you can buy a tab straight for about half that $300-350 then buy a plan you can use. Unless you are using it mostly on wifi, you'll spend more going over the 500mb/month. And if you use wifi, just buy the tab second hand (still good condition) and use it as a wifi only tablet/or use it on a prepaid plan as well

[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
Everyone in their right mind stays away from the US version of a phone.

International versions are ALWAYS the first to get updates.

Hence why the Optimus 3D is getting it in the 3rd Quarter and the LG Thrill isn't.
[LG Thrill 4G] lazylu:
But why is it like that if they are same phone is nexus the only reliable phone for upgrades

Updates for Nexus phones come straight from Google.

That's why they get updates fast.
[HTC Salsa] nuk3r:
Hi guys.

I'm a noob and this is my first post :)

It's about 3 weeks I'm trying to make really "usable" my HTC Salsa. First of all I want to thank you for all your very useful posts!

So I gained S-OFF (from HTC Dev Unlock Bootloader) then I install several roms (.sense, icon, m1ndh4x8r's roms...) but in everyone I have the same problem: the phone has no signal. I can see the SIM code (PIN) prompt and I tried for more sim cards.

Now I'm trying again with .sense. At the first boot, the configuration wizard asked for my carrier; I found the correct one in the list and I choose it. But I can't never get signal :(

These are my phone info

*** Unlocked ***

Please, can you help me?

Thanks!
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
hi nuk3r welcome to the salsa forums!

ok you have everything the same as the rest of us here...just you have an unexplained problem.

ok for starters you say SIM code (PIN) prompt? by that i gather u have a sim lock on there, the one where you boot your phone and before it goes any further you enter your pin and it starts up, am i right?.....for starters remove it, total waste of time!

this will speed up and stop any adverse problems appearing.

as for sim swapping....why?

in the sense roms i was never asked for my carrier....it always detects.

maybe your sim lock is possibly not allowing it.

which 3.5 sense are you using? ben's aroma 3.5 or m1ndh8x4r 3.5 4.7 version? please state as i have all the current roms installed on my salsa.

if you can, get me some screen shots please......3.5 sense has this built in the power menu...but i find for multiple screenshots to use Andro SS, it works nicer. this will capture a screen of your choice helping us further.

ty :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jomeister15:
Please keep in mind this is a work in progress and is currently intended for devs only. Do not flash if you don't know what you're doing.

Ok, after making some progress towards getting this thing ready for user-space, I've decided to finally start a thread on it just to see if I can get anyone interested or willing to help... This ROM is currently in below Alpha status (if there is such a thing) and does not boot, but I believe I can get it booting in about a week barring a system crash or a zombie apocalypse. Again, this is only meant for a jumping off point towards getting AOSP ICS on our I957s, so don't blame me if you flash this and your tab becomes bricked...

ICS for i957?

I'm ready to test when you have a bootable ROM! Where are you getting ICS-compatible hardware drivers for the i957?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jomeister15:
Base drivers can be used from the msm8660 ics source code provided by Code Aurora, and proprietary can be used from the stock Honeycomb firmware. Hopefully.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
1. THANKS JO!

2. In order to boot, what is needed?

I'm assuming this is a CWM zip, not an odin package, right>
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
With ics for the skyrocket leak hopefully things will get easier
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Waynehead69:
Thank You. Hell yeah! You guys rock. I'll help out if I can.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] RipplingHurst:
I'm willing to test too.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
hey Jo there are some ICS CWM roms starting to come out for the skyrocket (ICSMOD5 is what I was looking at). Do you think with some script edits this could be flashed to the i957?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] hjlow:
thanks to OP for attempting this. there are enough of us i957 users out there I think !
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jomeister15:
Yes, but the problem is we would probably need our own ICS kernel to get most of the stuff working. I'll try my hand at ICSMOD5, but I'm not sure if anything will work without a dedicated kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
yes you are right about that, but i think the tmobile guys got ics running with the skyrocket kernel but they are having issues with data.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jomeister15:
Ok, I'm not really going to be able to use my tab for dev purposes this weekends, but if you want to try a port here's what you need to do.

1) Setup a build enviornment in dsixda's kitchen with ICSMOD5.

2) You'll need to look at the updater-script and change the partition blocks according to the Tab (e.g system needs to be 25 instead of 24).

3) Two ways to do 3. One: grab the kernel from this thread and put it in ICSMOD, or Two: You could just leave the kernel as is. I'm wary of option Two.

4) Flash it. If it doesn't boot, try to get a logcat and send it my way. If it does, then yay ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
OK I have followed these instructions; downloaded ICSMOD5, set up the kitchen, grabbed the kernel (assuming that's boot.img) from your zipfile in the first post of this thread and copied it to the working folder, overwriting the Skyrocket kernel.

Then I looked at the updater script to see if partitions need changing. Per this post the layout looks OK. Example: /system is p24 and /boot is p08 already.

So far so good? Planning a test for later today.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Exciting let me know how it goes
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Also don't use the default generated kitchen updater script
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
I took the one it offered and modified it to use the correct partition layout. Had to change the /data partition but everything else looked fine.

UPDATE

It's complete: here's the CWM zip if anybody feels adventurous! I'll be posting notes after testing it tonight either way.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
If you have script troubles during install edit the one from jo's laggy 3.2 rom.

Also which modem is included?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
Yep, problems encountered. Blank screen after boot, seemingly indefinitely. I took a 30-second logcat just in case.

from logcat:

/system appears to be missing. Maybe I mounted the wrong partition?

Insights appreciated - logcat here

I should probably mention that I'm back to stock without any major problems, so testing appears to be safe so far.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

hey Jo, I'm wondering where you got the /system /p25 connection from?

I read this post and figured you might've made a typo, but after trying it as p24 (didn't work) I'd like to find out exactly what it should be so we can get this ICS cooking. If I got /system wrong then there are probably others wrong too.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
If the tmobile guys could use the ICS skyrocket kernel that is promising for this.

But still scary. Can you recover from a flash of a kernel for a different device or is that brick city?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
Does the kernel alter your chances of getting into download mode? If not I'll give it a shot later tonight.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jomeister15:
As far as I know, download mode is something completely separate from the kernel, but there's always a chance. Samsung products are pretty much unbrickable unless you do something really stupid.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] poisike:
Until you dont touch the bootloader you should be able to restore your stock rom with Odin.

But keep in mind that the boot.img also includes ramdisk. Extract the kernel and use it with the ramdisk of your stock rom. That worked for me when i tried to port a A500 rom to P7300 some time ago.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Ill rebuild my Linux environment soon to help with this
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Croak:
I tried a SR ROM on my Bell 957 unit last year. Would hang at boot, but did let me back into download mode. But that was a 2.3x SR ROM, not sure what the SR 4.xx does in regards to the bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
OK, here's another thought.. could we snag the missing libs from another ICS build for similar (ie Snapdragon) hardware, eg. the leaked Note ICS build?

I'm back on stock HC now but next test, with new libs or whatever else we can think of, will certainly grab a dmesg output. Didn't know we could use so many *nix-ish things on Android.

Hello All

I'm a new memeber to this forum as I just joined today. I'm glad to see someone working on a custom ROM for our device. I'm beginning to learn the about flashing and CWM Recovery as I'm reading through previous posts. However, I've read somewhere Samsung will have an official update to ICS for the SGH-I957 model.

What advantage will a custom ROM have over the official release at the moment? It seems there maybe alot of things to work out before a home cooked ROM can be released. Will the custom ROM be coming out sooner than the official release from Samsung?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
there are currently two custom roms out. these are usually debloated and tweaked. not sure when official ICS will come, guessing end of july
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Logcat shows this thing does init (as in the kernel starts to load) but it bombs out trying to mount partitions and the kernel panics.

A look at device/qcom/msm8660_surf/BoardConfig.mk (as grabbed from the git repo in the OP's message) shows it needs attention -- the partition sizes are all wrong, and possibly other stuff I'm not so familiar with.

Also, the init scripts, which mount the partitions on bootup, have the wrong partition numbers for pretty much everything.

No surprise it doesn't boot :)

I suspect fixing the BoardConfig.mk and init scripts is the next step to making this work.

I don't see why we can't build ICS for this tablet if it's been successfully hacked into place on similar devices (sgh-i727 come to mind, also a msm8660_surf device IIRC) -- Isn't the samsung Note (sgh-i717) also a msm8660_surf device? Both seem to have working dev builds of ICS.

I know Samsung will release ICS for the i957 soon enough, but... I'd _much_ rather be running CM9 than a carrier image :)

Thanks for your work getting this started! :)

I'll go ahead and start trying to get a working build environment set up... Haven't built CM9.. yet.. CM7 was pretty smooth the few times I tried, though... :-D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Glad to have you on board nrvate. The ics leaks for the skyrocket... In theory... Should be easy to port. Above my skill level tho
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
So yea, i did a bunch of research into this... and the i957 suffers from the same eMMC brick bug as the Skyrocket. The chainfire utility confirms that my i957 has the naughty eMMC chip. That makes the leaked 4.0.3 ICS skyrocket kernel a no go for this device.

From the loads of forum posts I read, it comes down to this:

Mr. Cyanogen himself is taking quite an active dev role in the crusade to bring AOSP to the msm8660 platform, but most the changes aren't commited to the CM9 tree yet -- still a WIP. Once the msm8660 platform is stable in the CM9 tree, it should just be tweaking to get it build on the i957 -- Probably have to jack around with kernel stuff for the touchscreen and/or wifi, the usual stuff.

I had a look over both the AOKP and CM9 repos, and the in-work msm8660 tree in CM9 is getting more updates for sure, i suspect CM9 is where we'll see the real magic for non-samsung ICS.

Checking out their entire repo and kernel to poke around.. I'm curous about the bits.

I also notice there is a much newer msm8660_surf tree on the Code Aurora MSM enablement project site. Properly configured and built maybe it'd come up :-D

Need.more.time! hah. /geek
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
If you flash twrp or cwm with an ics leak you should be pretty safe. Just never do any formatting or wiping from the rom gui.

CM9 official nightlies are out for the skyrocket so that's good news.

A naive question, whether there's any other > 4.0.4 ICS ROM available for i957. For my i957, being on 4.0.4, a number of apps have started causing issues, support not being available.

Saw a 7.1.2 update for P7300/P7310 on another thread. Pardon my limited know-how, I'm assuming it's not going to work for i957?

If there's another thread I should post on, pls suggest the same.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] viewfindr:
I've seen this discussed in many other places so forgive me if this post is redundant, but I have yet to find a clear solution.

I'm running official MIUI US 2.3.16 on my G2x, with the Faux kernel. The problem now is that the T-Mobile 'my account' app doesn't load, and the about phone > status dialog displays my phone number as 'unknown'. Voice calls still work fine, but data services are completely off without wifi.

The APN list is empty, and there are no settings there whatsoever. Is this a HW defect or is it just the rom? The stock kernel did not work either.

I'm assuming that in order for my data services to work, I have to have the correct APN in the list. I read about a method here, and while that did bring back the APN settings back, they were gone again after a reboot. Additionally, the T-Mobile app still did not work even when the APNs were there.

And to clarify, I don't recall having any of these issues in the past with the stock rom and stock kernel, data services and the app worked fine.

Thanks!

Have had for several months, with no problems.

Bought the Samsung OEM car dock from TMo last week & it worked perfect for a few days.

Now, however, it confuses dock state all the time. When unplugged from dock or powering on, it will constantly pop up asking which default app I want to launch as if it is in a desk dock (clock or audio apps) and often doesn't recognize when I do put it back into car dock.

I am running Juggernaut ROM but flashed back to stock and that didn't help. Reinstalled Juggernaut.

Also wiped device cache which seemed to work initially, but quickly went back to problems.

What is the issue? Why isn't dock state being detected properly?
