[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
First of all, I absolutely LOVE ICS. I'm even getting a nexus to have AOSP ICS. It's great, but not on this phone. I ran it for 4 days and I am glad I did, but no more. I just want to explain why.

First of all: the camera. While everything but recording WORKS, it does not WORK WELL. The autofocus is awful, and I struggle to take a picture I would take in a second with skyraider. The pictures also are often very grainy. Now, as of AOKP, camcorder works, and flash works on Angel Camera. Everything about the camera works.

Second: Apps. I'm not talking about the ICS apps. They are incredible. On our phone though, many apps I love, like temple run , as well as others crash or just don't work. Some apps just have lots of FC's.All apps except for temple run that I use have no issues now.

Third: Battery life (depends on ROM). On AOKP, the battery life is absolutely abysmal. However, it is wonderful on the Nexus, which is why it is strange to me. I have many media wakelocks, and other issues. Getting amazing battery life with build 31 of AOKP with aero's v9 kernel.

Fourth: Stability. Just today, my gallery decided to stop working. Before, I have had random lockups, a mess of FC's and many other things. For me, it's very important to have whatever feature I need, when I need it. Not in 5 minutes, not in a hour. If I need to take a picture, I need to take one. If I need to check a website, the browser had better not start force closing. If I need to download an app, the Play Store had better not crash 5 times. Twice today, my phone decided to just have a black screen when getting a phone call, and I couldn't answer them. I have not had any issues with ICS stability on this build or the last couple of aero's.

Note though, that I am not saying that YOU shouldn't run ICS. In fact, if you can, DO IT! Just I can't, sadly. The developers do an absolutely incredible job porting this stuff no thanks to HTC. I really want to thank them for that. I'll just be sticking with GB unless there's a leak for us. I just wanted to write this up, not sure why. Oh, well.

Now, ICS is amazing, and there is no reason anyone shouldn't run it, unless you are stuck on sense!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dirkdigles:
Party on Wayne!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
I'm excited for ics, but until we get a good leak I don't see me using it for a while
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
You're rationalizing. Embrace the mediocre pictures. I can't leave ics because the cm9 music and MusicFX I flashed sounds so fn awesome it makes me cry.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
Are you getting a nexus one(good battery), nexus s(also good battery, or a galaxy nexus( the battery is so bad it can't keep up with charge). Just wondering, I'd go for the nexus s if I didn't have a upgrade and I needed a new phone.

If I had an upgrade I'd get the rezound. I like soft keys(actually I don't like the red soft keys on the rezound, I like the ones on the dinc 2 better), even though are soft keys are a part of the touch screen. It's the fastest phone on the market, and it can take amazing pics. Not to mention the battery is good and development is plentiful. And its getting ics soon......

IDK why I wrote this
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Huh, so the Galaxy Nexus has horrible battery. Let's see what an extended battery, franco kernel, and AOKP have to say about that. Oh, yeah, with stock battery and AOKP/franco, you get 3 hrs screen on time. Woops. And the Rezound is my least fav phone out of the "big 3". Now that has terrible battery life. I have a friend, you know the one that gave all the ICS leaks to the Rezound users? Yeah, him. He tried a Nexus and said the battery was amazing compared to his Rezound. Also, the Rezound is really thick, overheats, and has Sense 3.5/.6. Ugh.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
3 hours screen on time is what I get with my extended battery on this
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
I have to say. The battery on the ICS builds are not bad at all. I am running areos 31 build with stock kernel oc 1.2 and still have an all day battery with moderate usage. But to each his own.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] icon123:
I wish the op best of luck, but I hated the GN. Terrible battery life, awful looking screen and one of the worst radios I have ever used in a phone. The only thing good about it was that it ran ICS natively.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dirkdigles:
Agreed, running the same here, getting a solid 2+ days battery life with light/moderate usage. I don't take many pics so not too worried about the camera. Music FC's on me every now and again, but I haven't had a single hiccup or reboot otherwise.

I do wonder if it's possible (perhaps in an upcoming build) to lock the messaging app & launcher in memory, as sometimes the messaging app is slow upon initially launching.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
I'm gonna give ics one more shot with build 29 of aokp
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Everything will get even better once htc releases the ICS kernel.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brd912:
Well, I came straight from stock 2.3.3 to ICS. No other mods/roms of any kind. Been running for about 24 hours now and no problems at all. No lag, no force closes and no reboots. I have the 3500 mAh HTC battery and I've been heavily using it for these 24 hours and I've lost maybe 15%. When I say heavily, I mean drooling at the screen four hours. I'm amazed. At first I hated the video I seen of ics when it was first announced, I thought it was the ugliest thing I've ever seen, but im loving it rite now. I hope I can talk my bro in law out of this phone lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Yeah, I love it but the bugs are too.much. I hope HTC releases a kernel soon
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Why aokp? Yeah there's more options but aeros kangs are way more stable
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I prefer using Aero's builds because they're WAAAY more stable and much faster than AOKP (I actaully tried to use AOKP and I couldn't get the hang of it). Why not Aeroevan?

Im wondering are there not any sense 3.6 roms out on any other phones that can get ported over. Im sure they should be able to work but maybe not. Idk.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Well, 6 hrs off charger, streamed 250 mb of music over 3G (thank god for unlimited data) and 30 min screen on, at 65%.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Are you using the MusicFX and not DSP manager.. Right?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
What app are you using to get to the scheduler and the voltage settings?

I had been using Nofrills to set the scheduler and governor, and Incredicontrol for the voltages, but since CM9 and Aokp have there own performance settings, I've gotten away from Nofrills and Incredicontrol. An all in one app would be nice.

Thanks for the Aokp camcorder patch as well :cool:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
Incredicontrol is an all in one app now.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Friendcaster is way better. I was so happy to get rid of the official app. Way fewer wakelocks and battery drain.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
How's GPS been on AOKP/CM9? I use it pretty regularly for training purposes and when I went back to CM7.2 it would cut out every time my screen went off or just at complete random points.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
I use the GPS patch and everything is fine. Battery continues to be good. 50% after 4 hours. Sounds terrible but that's with 40 minutes of screen on and 2+ hours of streaming from Google music over a -100 dbm connection. I used 250 megabytes of data lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I'm trying FriendCaster and I like it... but my contacts won't sync... I'm using AOKP build 31...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Might need haxsync bro
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I flashed AOKP and MMS didn't work, so i've been on aero's build ever sense. I like it a lot. I got 2 days on a charge, but i didn't have a lot of use.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Mms works in aokp now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
it didn't work for me on build 29 or 30, I don't remember. I've been on aero's build and i like it a lot, but i do like AOKP customization. I'll have to try it again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheValk:
MMS doesn't work for me on AOKP either.

Is there a hidden tweak I haven't seen or should it work out of the box?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Download the app any cut and create a new shortcut for apns. Tell me if anything pops up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
MMS didn't work for me on AOKP out of the box either, so I navigated to settings, more (under networks), mobile networks, access point names, hit menu, new apn, fill in with this info:

-Name: Verizon

-APN: internet

-MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

-everything else is blank.

Hit, menu, save, and MMS is working.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] haoyong:
The mucked up multitouch on the ICS roms is still a deal-killer for me. It seems to crop up in the most unexpected places, and generally makes life annoying. Otherwise, I have to say that the ICS roms are getting very, very close to being perfect.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
Multitouch kills it for me too... drives me nuts when I swipe left and it decides to go over two screens or goes right. Otherwise, they're amazing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Never had any multi touch issues. On any build.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheValk:
That did it. I tried that on an older build and it didn't work.

Now to find the camera patch.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
My camera patch thread is in the general forum for our phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] romma1:
A lot of people are trying some of the builds and not taking some of the suggestions to make the roms run better (camera patch, kernel swapping and so forth)..

I am not a dev, but since I started rooting and flashing roms I have learned to be patient. If I don't like the way a rom operates I try to include whatever fixes are available. I know it can be a pain in the "you know what" to do full wipes and fresh installs, or search through dozens of pages looking for a fix and not repeating questions that are sometimes asked 20 or more times in some threads. Among other tedious tasks that are needed.

To me it goes with the territory, and I have enough faith that in time, many of the issues of the early roms that come out in Alpha or Beta will smooth out with work arounds or legit code. ICS has been a beast in comparison to GB and Froyo to smooth things out (from what I have seen), but it is mostly there now. my phone is running like a top now for the most part, and I am getting ready to move all of my GB backups off of my SD card.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] urhos:
I completely agree. ICS is incredible and I cannot wait for it to be fully functional. I have tested Nits MIUI4, Aero's CM9 Unofficial, and the AOKP roms. They all run every well and I think that they are on par with each other now that the camera fix is out. I appreciate all of the great work devs. Thanks for making the Dinc2 even more incredible than it already is. You're awesome.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkdigles:
Hi All,

I upgraded my phone (Dinc2) to CM9 a few days ago, coming from CM7.2.

Unfortunately the Google Backup & Restore service didn't work when I booted CM9 for the first time, so my wifi settings & saved AP's didn't transfer over.

I have a nandroid of my CM7.2 installation, and I also have the passwords backed up with Titanium. I tried restoring the settings that way, however the restore didn't have an effect (I restored then rebooted, no go). I've done some searching and can't tell if the WPA_supplicant.conf file is the same in ICS as it is in GB, so haven't fiddled around there yet.

I figure there has to be a fairly easy way do the transfer, however obviously haven't figured it out yet.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Best,

-Dirk

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sac's Droid:
Hi everyone,

I have bricked my nook and i have been looking at all the unbrick treads but my biggest problem is that when I try to use meghd00t's image I am having troubles. I read that i can use a card 2gb or less but when I do I am told I don't have enough space. I am also using win32DiskImager, but if I need to I can use dd

also I can boot to internal cmw
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tcbeachy:
Use Ubuntu recovery with an 8gb card since the 4 gb is too small. The whole process rins fully automatic and takes around 15 minutes to complete. I was not able to 'unbrick' with any other method, including the one you mention.

Tim
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
What problem do you have ?

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tcbeachy:
Veronica-

I was running MIUI and installed the CWM to emmc. I decided to reflash the rom and afterwards, all I could get was the CWM, no matter what zip file I installed. It would not boot internally to anthing else. The 'unbrick' that finally worked was Adam Outler's UbuntuTotalReFlash. Now that I did that, I can no longer complete registration with B&N as a clean stock tablet I get a 'CAN NOT COMPLETE REGISTRATION... PLEASE SHUT DOWN AND TRY AGAIN OR CONTACT TECH SUPPORT'. In the details it shows a red '!' By the battery percentage. Fortunately I can restore a saved backup and use it, but it looks like i can never wipe it back to clean stock and sell it. Oh well, I guess I was warned of a risk. It works well as a rooted tab.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sac's Droid:
Update!

ok so I used Ubuntu unbrick and it worked with flying colors but now when I go through the nook setup page I get an error message at the very end. Can I not use default nook anymore?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
What does this error message say? You should still be able to use the stock ROM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sac's Droid:
it is through stock setup after I enter my account info I get error in bold right aligned and then under that it asks you to power off and try again or contact support. I got tired of trying and I didn't have and B&N content anyway so I just installed CM7 on it. But I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tcbeachy:
That error message is because the serial # (and possibly other ID info for your tablet was rewritten by Adam Outler's ubuntu process. If you run any CM7 or CM9 ROM, you don't need to worry about that registration anyway. You only need that for the stock or Froyo ROMs. I suspect that these items can be corrected some way, but B&N won't register the serial # that your device reports because it's already registered under another user name.

~Tim
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sac's Droid:
That makes sense, oh well like I said I didn't have any B&N content anyway so now I have no reason to stay stock

Thanks for the help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Hello, I am trying to make a flashable zip that replaces framework-res.apk in CM9 on Samsung Captivate. I have read a bunch of other threads on this, but one thing that none of them address is the update-binary. Whenever I flash my zip, it aborts due to "error 4" or sometimes "error 0." I have been just copying and pasting the update-binary from similar zips, but it seems to give me these errors.

I've attached the .zip in case someone wants to look at it. I'm almost positive my script is solid. Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcsnider:
TBH the main reason that I love CyanogenMod is the ability to have "quick unlock".

For those that do not know, it simply makes it so that if you have a PIN as your lockscreen it will automatically unlock once you enter the last correct digit.

Now before I get flammed for being lazy it is not that I do not want to hit the OK button. It is because I was an ipod touch/iphone owner in the past and it by default has quick unlock, it is simply what I am used to.

My question is, is there a mod out there that enables quick unlock on stock firmwares?

At this time CM7 & CM9 is not stable enough to be used on my phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtgizmo:
Hi I managed to wash my SG2 with my trousers, upon discovering that - I placed everything into rice bowl for 2 weeks and prayed for miracle.

2 weeks later - got put battery back in and ... it turned on. However its still quite buggy, randomly reboots and looses signal and home button pretty much is none functional.

Now I have insurance - however it would cost me for excess $250. So I thought to give it into warranty - problem is - I have a custom ROM with custom kernel (Darky).

The problem I encountered was that I could not connect the device via usb. if I try via debug mode - I just get windows 43 error (device mal functioned - and computer cant install drivers for it), if I try without debug mode (MTP) - it says MTP connected, but I cannot see it in my pc.

So my question is is there a way to install official kernel and firmware onto phone if I would use bluetooth to put the files on my sd? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodB0Y:
There usually a couple of ways the service center can tell if the phone has been wet...some people have had there warranty claims denied and they never got there phone wet... Seems a sweaty pocket is enough to Mark the phone as water damage.

You certainly can try for a warranty but i bet your claim would be denied...

If you can't get your usb working you can try mobile odin. Supposedly you can flash factory firmware with it without the need for a usb connection.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BJ van Beethoven:
As said above, I'm betting the service center will pick up on the water damage and deny your warranty claim.

Also second Mobile Odin, works a treat. Transfer files via Bluetooth/wifi sharing app (I.E. Samba) and then open package in Mobile Odin and flash away. Just make sure not to tick Ever Root, Inject SU & Inject Mobile Odin or you will be caught out for sure :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtgizmo:
well I have a problem....

I thought my phone was rooted - since there would be no other way to put Darky Rom on it, but I did do factory reset in hopes to get my usb back working.

Well I got Mobile Odin pro - and I get the error - need to be SuperUser....

so how do I root my phone without usb?

p.s. are you saying if I use default settings of the mobile odin - it will leave a trace - even after i install official firmware/kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtgizmo:
I just don't get it why mtp connection says connected but its not detecting it....

bluetooth is my last hope.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Pretty much zero chance of doing it with BT. And there's no way you're getting warranty service/replacement even if you could go back to stock.

There may be reports of individual techs turning a blind eye to rooted phones when JTAGing phones people have borked, but water damaged thru carelessness, no chance. Might as well cough up the excess for insurance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
Is it better to have apps on the SD card or the SD card's second partition that I created, and If I flash a rom will they still be installed if they're in either location? I have the Samsung Extreme Speed Class 10 16GB Micro SDHC card.

Should I use the built-in a2sd or Link2sd, should the second partition be ext 3 or 4 and how should I format it?

I'm using ICS for HTC Desire 0.5.1, default HBoot, Clockworkmod Recovery Touch 5.8.0.2, aGPS and default homescreen with no scripts.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
I can recommend to use Stock A2SD with EXT4 (fastest type). Partition size: => 512 MB.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
Thanks for your response. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Yep apps on the ext partition. More advantageous. Saves space and doesn't break widgets. Apps are accessible even on USB mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
Thanks also. :)

If I make an ext4 partition on my SD card and use the built-in a2sd with ICS for Desire, it will move all apps (including davlik, data and cache) to the second partition with the ability to move them back if needed?

If I flash a rom will they still be installed if they're in either location?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobby_d:
Yes, as far as I know, it moves all apps from your internal data to your ext partition.

a2sd supports moving your apps back, type "a2sd" to get a list of supported commands. The ones you are searching for are propably "a2sd nocachesd", "a2sd nodatasd" or maybe "a2sd noxdata", depending on the option you chose at installation.

If you flash a new rom, it depends on the rom and your installation setup, whether your apps remain or not.

If you flash a rom with the same a2sd script without wiping, your apps should remain. They will be lost in any other case. Always backup to be sure!
