ICE CREAM SANDWICH GUIDE AND NEW FEATURES OF SAMSUNG OFFICIAL ICS AND ROM QUESTIONS

Hey guys. With the new Ics roms there are brand new ways to do things that are very different from gingerbread.

How do I take a screenshot in ICS?

This is one new feature of ICS. Hold down the power button and volume down button.

Can I still slide my finger across the status bar to change brightness?

Yes.

Where is usb debugging and unknown sources?

The usb debugging is now in developer options in the settings menu. Unknown sources lies in security options in the settings menu.

How do I activate face unlock?

Go to settings then security and select screen lock. There you will find face unlock along with 4 other options.

How come when I hold the home button I get this menu instead of the last 6 apps I use?

Google made a better way to multi task in Ics so now everything you used is shown. You can swipe right or left to kill an app.

How do I copy and paste?

Hold down on the screen and move the arrows to what you want to copy and press the piece of paper at the top right of the screen.

How do I activate mass storage, all that shows up when I plug in the computer is mtp?

Once again this is a new feature of ics. To get mass storage go to settings then click more then usb utilities and click usb storage.

How come when I click on phone I no longer see the contact tab in the menu. I only see phone, log, and favorites???

This was done by Google to help stay organized and provide a clean experience to users.

How come with all ICS roms my facebook photos don't sync and how can I fix them?

Well you got me there. For some reason the photos don't sync natively on ICS. I think its a way by google to boost users of google plus. This is easily fixable by using an app called sync my pics or by using friendcaster from the play store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] haippa123:
Is overclocking possible with this kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
No. As of right now. No att ics kernel can overclock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] prince_niceguy:
calendar sync is not happening. any body else having this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
When I tested I wasn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] prince_niceguy:
A quick restore of calendar storage made it work.

Can you please include your tweaks of mystic ROM here too. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
I would but this rom is naturally tweaked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Solaris_XD:
hello!

can someone help and explain how to install this rom

this options appear to me!

Reboot system now

Apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

test redbend fota(FS)

thank you very much!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Do you have clock work recovery? If so. Wipe data then wipe cache. Then wipe dalvick cache under advanced and flash the rom.

(it sounds like you have 3e recovery. If your not rooted and running a custom kernel it won't work.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Solaris_XD:
its rooted!

this rom

Official ICS on AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777! [Leaked ICS]

from galaxy2root

i rooted and install this with odin mobile pro
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Do you have clock work mod? If so then follow the instructions above and flash the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Solaris_XD:
i have clockworkmod!?! (ROM manager)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
far from true. Just none of the released one's here in the forums can.

Gotta know where to find them ;)

But most will agree, OC is overrated.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Rom manager is not CWM recovery. Rom manager is an app for lazy people, and has been known to cause issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
You need the actual cwm from a kernel. Rom manager will mess you up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Solaris_XD:
i try to download from play store. but thats the only app thast i find
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Its not an app. Its built into a kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Solaris_XD:
I'm a moron .. now i ask google ..

ok. now i have cwm recovery..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Now follow the instructions and then flash the rom and your good.
[General Questions and Answers] Radivoj:
All Android email apps are based on a Web mail and depend on availability of the wireless connection (WiFi or 3/4G).

Is there an app for Android that works like the Outlook on the PC, that allows user having a POP mail account, to keep his Inbox and other folders containing the relevant messages in the Smartphone’s memory, for offline consultation, responses, etc, without need to retrieve them from Google/Yahoo or other Web service provider each time he needs to use them?
[General Questions and Answers] ElScorpione:
When you use the default e-mail app, you should be able to use mail offline. The app has an option the check for e-mail manually. I use it with my microsoft exchange account at work.

Search for a mailprover which support IMAP. Your mail stays at the webserver, but you can view it offline in you mail app.
[Android Apps and Games] neilbantoc:
Hello there!

I've chosen to work on building a user interface for file managing on android tablets for my special problem, one of my subjects this semester. So in order to graduate, I need the help of some willing testers to test out my app.

Here's a demonstration of the features it has:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNcyT5iwLyU

Some things to take note of:

There's no up folder button, so you can't go past /mnt/sdcard when going up the directory hierarchy

if /mnt/sdcard is not your internal sdcard's default mount path, then it'll crash

When you swipe horizontally too fast to switch tabs, it does some funky stuff making one pane invisible. touch the other pane again to make it appear again.

You CAN'T cancel a copy or past operation when it has started.

Don't do stuff like copying or moving a file to the same folder it currently is in. if you move a file or folder to the same folder, it will get deleted.

Just perform normal file operations. Avoid trivial cases as mentioned above.

I'll admit, it's not the best file manager. Features are scarce, the code is not that optimized both in running time and in memory allocation, and there are a lot of checking that needs to be done (like when your sdcard is currently mounted in usb mass storage mode). But my focus is the user interface and not the back end, so please excuse these things.

So here's the link for the app: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16398746/Files.apk

And here's the link for the evaluation form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEVQeElJb3QyR05kLUN0akliV0ExbEE6MQ#gid=0

Thank you very much! I'm open to comments here in XDA so just comment ahead and please be gentle with me, it's my first app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] glad4pie:
Is anyone else noticing much less "fling ability" for example, when I fling my application drawer it is noticeably more resistant,if you will

Oh and I'm using task's awesome aokp
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patsmike:
Yes, thats pretty standard across all ics roms - don't know why they did that, makes it hard to scroll.

But i don't know if I would call that touch sensitivity, maybe more like "scrolling momentum"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] learning2livelyf:
I noticed the sensitivity could be adjusted under the galaxy s2 settings located in the app drawer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I wonder if it's one of the changes they made along with removing the 'bounce' feedback you get when you hit the end of a scroll due to complaints from Apple.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
No longer supported.
[HTC EVO 3D] Royalfox:
This will come in handy, thanks!

Might I ask what page plus is.?
[HTC EVO 3D] ricohz:
its a phone service kind of like metro pcs
[HTC EVO 3D] UncivilSavage:
Nice! Thanks a ton

super easy guide! Worked on Evo 4g.
[HTC EVO 3D] GODZSON:
Nice write up.. thx for sharing

XDA-MOD
[HTC EVO 3D] evilvoice:
You might want to say that you only need CDMAWS if you want to change your MSL, although since it is so easy to get the MSL with MSL Reader, you can probably skip that part. Great writeup though. Ive done a Moment and Vitality to PagePlus and the guide is the same, so this is an almost universal Guide.

On a side note: For the Moment and Vitality, MSL Reader does not work, I had to get the MSL by using getprop ril.MSL in Terminal.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Well I mentioned MSL Reader because its easier to use for new comers and it only works on the HTC phones which is what I'm flashing in this guide. If you use CMDAWS you just go to the security tab and under SPC click the drop down box and pick HTC Method. Then click read. Phone must be in DIAG mode though.

Any how I'll be making more guides. I can flash damn near any phone to any company except the Stratosphere.
[HTC EVO 3D] KennyKusanagi:
This part where im lost at, where exactly do I do all of this at? I dont see none of this in CDMA Workshop. I have version 3.8.0

Edit: Also Can I choose a phone number for the part where i use QPST & need to input *phone number@vzw3g.com*? The phone i got from ebay was a bad esn and I'm guessing the phone thats already on the phone still works.
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
How are 3g speeds on page plus? Just curious I have mine on metro atm and have been thinking about going to boost or here if speeds are decent enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
In the very first tab with all the phone info. Should be right on top. It is probably labeled mdn and min. If that's what there labeled mdn will be your phone number and min will be msid or mobile identification number (sorry been a while since I used cdma workshop). Qpst doesn't have the option to change phone number itself. It will only allow you to change it for your data profiles. ##000000# or your six digit msl code will accomplish this step for you also.
[HTC EVO 3D] KennyKusanagi:
Ok cool. another thingm I get an error during the last part where I write to the phone in QPST.

The error says NV_UE_IMEI_I (Status) NV_READONLY_S
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
Disregard that error it doesn't mean anything. You can actually check that box to not notify u of that again if it bothers you.

Let me know how this goes for you and do a speedtest for me if you can. My metro bill is due in a few days if speeds are good I will be making the switch.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Thanks for helping mteezey. I have my notifications turned off for subscribed threads. +1

The 3G speeds are very good. Remember this one thing PP uses VZW towers. Actually when I flash the Thunderbolts they get 1x and the 1x is pretty damned fast.
[HTC EVO 3D] cmylxgo:
Have you flashed any EVO3Ds to Verizon? Assuming the ESN is accepted by Verizon's network of course.

-C
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
I've heard that Verizon phones get way better speeds on pp than sprint phones. I'm sure its probably just due to lack of provisioning on the parts of places that flash them. I definatly am intersted in tinkering with this. If someone with a EVO 3d on page plus or any sprint phone could do a speed test that would be great. Being on verizon network it should be at least 1mbps and up depending on area. Only reason I ask is cause u can get around 1mbps on boost witout any limit on data. But I don't use much mobile data but When I do I wouldn't mind it being fast. I could probably get away with the 1gb cap.

Just really wanna know the speeds.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Thats not entirely true. Almost all Sprint phone get 3G while most VZW phones only get 1x.

Any phone can be flashed to PP and yes I have flashed the 3D numerous times to PP. I just got done doing one. When activating phones on PP always use the ESN(HEX) not the DEC because its too many characters. All Sprint phones that I have flashed always have a 14 character ESN(HEX) which is what you need for PP. If your ESN has 15 characters then drop off the last one digit. It will still activate without the last digit. Speaking of which the Thunderbolt is one that I know of that you have to drop the last digit on. Only one I can remember lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] PoorCollegeGuy:
Hey! I saw this method and noticed it didn't involve device cloning and that it was for 3 phones.

I had to write about it.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/flash-any-evo-device-to-page-plus-service/

Hope you like it :) very awesome work!
[HTC EVO 3D] UncivilSavage:
Use stock Rom and then flash another.
[HTC EVO 3D] m0bstr:
i am on stock rom..... the ics stock rom
[HTC EVO 3D] agapedisciple:
I am not able to get MMS working on my Incredible 2 running MikRunny. I tried the apn file that you posted, but still can't send mms. (My data works fine on PagePlus.) Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Do you have the SIM card in?
[HTC EVO 3D] agapedisciple:
Yep, i've got the Vodacom SIM that came with the phone. Btw, i only "restored" your apn file, but I didn't delete all the exisiting APNs since I'd like to use the phone internationally. Do u think that may be the issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
You can backup the old apns then delete them and restore. Tbh you didn't even need to touch the apns. That was for the evo only.
[HTC EVO 3D] agapedisciple:
Bad news... just deleted all APNs and restored your file only. Still no MMS. 3G works fine. Any others ideas what it could be?
[HTC EVO 3D] 94SupraTT:
Great guide!
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] gadgetdaddy:
Doesn't this only give you 1x and not really 3G?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Lol wasn't that stated in the op?
[HTC EVO 3D] gadgetdaddy:
No.

You stated its fully working with 3G:

"Not sure if this has been posted before but here it goes.

This is a guide for the phones listed in the title. The guide for one EVO is the same for all EVO's. Each one of these devices will have fully working 3G, MMS, SMS; Talk.

I have flashed hundreds of EVO's to Page Plus and I know this to be working fully. I'm bored so I figured I may as well make a tutorial for all of those who are looking to flash these phones to Page Plus. Anyhow here we go!"
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
O.o yes each one I flash has 3G but, the guide is only for 1x.
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
Nah, you mention working 3G like I quoted above, and never mention that you need a donor phone to get the correct keys from. Doesn't really matter that the ones YOU flash have 3G. It matters more that what you're guiding people to do doesn't actually include what most would consider a major feature of their phone. Decent guide nonetheless, but definitely misleading.
[HTC EVO 3D] listallmobiles:
When i flash the thunderbolts/rezounds i get 3g evdo Rev A speeds, plus i can voice and surf the net at the same time, 1x is nothing near fast, and PPC uses Verizon's services not just their towers.. This write up is a basic solution for most phones, really what's the most important part of the programming is the Nam settings,and of course the EVDO settings which change depending on if its a Verizon phone or Sprint phone and how the profiles in M.ip/ppp config are set up and achieving the accounts correct (Ha and AAA authentication passwords along with the ppp config um & An user id and passwords).

edited: "vzw" is not the correct verizon/PPC M.ip/EVDO auth codes anymore, it works on sum phones but not all, also in certain cases i have ran into on sum phones like the LG Revolution/Lucid to enable 3g you need the DMU 10 key added to the phones Nv files system using an EFS explorer (QPST).
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
But in your OP you stated that this guide gives 3G!?!

Edited OP to include this little bit of info you purposefully left out to mislead the users.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Well talking about meid changing and cloning is against the rules so what do you expect?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
I love it. Just shocked I got a news issue :)
[HTC EVO 3D] beastmods:
does anyone know what different steps it would take to flash other phones to page plus?

i have two droid 2's that i would like to flash to page plus...one of them is a global edition.

anyone know how to get the unlock code for the sim on the d2 global?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Page Plus is a CDMA only carrier so you don't need the sim unlocked. Just put your phone is DIAG mode then set it to "NV Only" in CDMAWS

Side Note:

To get any GSM phone flashed to Page Plus you must do what I said above. Its the only way to flash the PRL's to the phone and program it. Otherwise the phone will not work on PP.
[HTC EVO 3D] Osirus71:
I was thinking of getting my mom on boost with a flashed over sprint phone. Hows page plus compared to boost??? are they in every city or just certain ones. My mom lives in Corpus Christi Tx. Is there a way how to see if she would get good signal/reception where she lives???
[HTC EVO 3D] squallz506:
doh! i followed the guide but when i tried to port my number via the page plus site i end up with:

"Payment Status Reason = null / Payment Status Value = DEVICE_REJECTED"

any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Seems that maybe the phone was on VZW and a past due balance is unpaid.
[HTC EVO 3D] KennyKusanagi:
Didn't know GSM phones can work on a verizon network...I'm thinking about getting a LG Optimus 2X. How they perform on PP?
[HTC EVO 3D] Timc940:
are you getting EVDO Rev.a Data Speeds on PagePlus with this method ??? Has anyone tried this with Vzw postpaid ?
[HTC EVO 3D] squallz506:
the phone has a bad sprint esn. i thought most MVNO's still accepted bad esn phones. i guess page plus doesnt. bummer i wanted that "the 12" plan. oh well, on to cricket or maybe boost.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Only bad ESN's from VZW not allowed on PP. Any other carrier yes you can still activate it on PP.

Full 3G on these EVO's not rtt 1x or crap like that.
[HTC EVO 3D] squallz506:
Huh, any ideas? I'll call CS tomorrow but maybe there's another method. Has anyone else Gotten a device denied?
[HTC EVO 3D] Timc940:
the EVO still does display 3G.. When it does want to work but the speeds are 1xRTT Speeds.. This obviously does not work.. Also, there is no mention in your post which PRL to use to make this work correctly.. there are 3 in your attached archive.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
All PRL's won't work the same every where. You just have to pick the one that's best for you. Those are all the one's I use for the EVO's. The rest I have put the EVO's into roaming. That's why no mention on which one to use. This obviously does work, your phone is on PP now isn't it ? -_-
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
Hey Nevell, quick question. I've flashed a couple of phones before (to Boost) where a donor phone was required from the beginning. Is it the same here? Sis wants me to flash her EVO 4G to PP, and your guide (great guide by the way) doesn't mention donor phones or anything.

Noobish question, I know :p
[HTC EVO 3D] UncivilSavage:
Nope, just get the esn accepted to PP
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
Nice, thanks for the response. Is this something I just call up CS for?
[HTC EVO 3D] UncivilSavage:
For the three I've done it worked. Just call em up until they accept it.
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
Got the first Evo 4G up and running on PP, guide worked great. Only had an issue with HTC Diag driver properly installing, but that's another story.

Anyway, I've tried 5 different PRL's (the 3 included here, 2 others I found online), and all but one of them (pageplus.prl) gives me the roaming symbol on status bar. Assuming this is normal and that pageplus.prl is the best for me, in Chicago. Did a couple of quick speedtests and it has trouble passing even 100KB on 3G, is this normal?

Edit: Also, quick questions. In About Phone, Phone Identity, "current username" still shows up as the Sprint username. Should that be changed as well.

Another Edit: To add on to this, I changed the information in "Profile 1" to match what you said for Profile 2, and this username changed to the vzw name.

I installed ICS and can only get what looks like 1x service, but speed test shows the same speed as what 3G was giving me on Gingerbread. Going to try CM7 and see how it goes. Any recommended ROM for this as far as Evo 4G is concerned?
[HTC EVO 3D] UncivilSavage:
From what I know pp doesn't have 3g service just 1x but I could be wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] gadgetdaddy:
PP does have 3g. It just means your profile AAA and HA are wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Should have stated this in the op but I didn't. The prl's listed are the ones I found that worked great where I live (SC). I've found recently that a lot of times when you get the roaming triangle that the prl you flashed is different from the one that shows. If you check the prl you flashed and match it against the one that shows on the far left of cdma workshop it might be different. If so the reflash the prl and it should work fine. Don't know what causes this as of yet. I've noticed this a lot on the Thunder Bolts. On another note.......

If you have a VZW phone you have to use the IMEI number minus the last digit to activate your phone on PP. On the EVO's and mostly all other phones you have to use the MEID/ESN HEX to get your phone activated on PP. Thats it.

To make life easier for you guys I may make a video tutorial on how to do this. I have an EVO shift just sitting here that I need to flash. My camera is broke so I may have to use my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] hectormanny:
evo 4g on pageplus

so what are the correct settings for aaa and ha? all the evos that i've done with 3g have slow speeds. Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
Your guide got me up and running fine on the first Evo 4G I did, going to do a second now. It went fine, only issue really has been super slow 3G. And yea the only PRL that didn't get me roaming in Chicago was just pageplus.prl, all others didn't work as well. I'll try messing with it a bit.
[HTC EVO 3D] hectormanny:
evo 4g on pageplus

thanks to Nevell mms is now working. I was using easyflasher just to get the mms working. Now this apn for page plus will do the trick always. Of course for boost you can easily change the apn through ##3282#. But for pageplus on sprint phones it would not work. Thanks again Nevell.
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
HA and AAA are both set to 4D2 in my profile. Should these be changed?

Edit: Here are some screenshots of my settings. I still can't get 3G up, and it looks like MMS isn't working right either. Phone service and texting work fine though.

QPST M.IP settings. This screen was self explanatory as far as setting up in Profile 2. The arrow points to Profile 1, which has the old Sprint settings. Does that have to be changed too, or do we only worry about Profile 2?

UM Tab. This screen was also easy, but everytime I go back into it and read from phone, the password field that arrow points to is always empty, even though I put in vzw everytime. That an issue?

AN Tab. This tab is the same as above, everytime I read from phone, it still has the original info in it and it doesn't seem to change. User ID is always the phones Hex MEID at the Sprintpcs address, password blank. I'm assuming this is an issue as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
oops delete.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Not a problem glad i could help. If I can find the time I'll make tutorials on how to flash the Bionic, Fascinate, Razr Maxx, Thunder Bolt, etc to PP.

@xxmastermindxx I can't delete your post but you can edit it with the right screen shots. Every time you read your phone using QPST it will reset your data profiles. Thats why yours are blank. So, you have to re-enter the info. As far as profiles go, yes its ok to change profile 1 and 0. It won't hurt anything. It may even fix the problem your having.
[HTC EVO 3D] xsleazoidx:
so will this method work with straight talk
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
You need a donor phone for Straight Talk
