hmmm, not sure about other phone makers. My experience with custom rom ics is good. Undeniable when I first flashed the early version of ICS custom rom, it gives me nightmare with many things not working. But after the great custom rom developer put their priceless efforts to solve the issues, it is quite stable for the latest build right now. Haven't face any frustrating issues using it during working days or weekends. ;)
[Android General] BBCHAMPs:
ics on evo is getting better and better as each day passes. it started out super buggy but getting stable. still prefer gb tho :D
[Android General] apollooff320:
I have no problem with but a few apps that aren't compatible which makes my tablet reboot.
[Android General] molesarecoming:
pure ics runs fine. its fast, battery is good if not great, gb compared to the overall feeling and handling of it is a hackjob. its not about functions, of course gb can do everything that ics can, did you seriously think it'd do more? its still a phone after all and the hardware didn't change that much, but the sum is more than its parts and ics - for the first time on android - is what i would call a mature os. adoption is a nightmarish clusterfuck because manufacturers and providers alike are out there insisting to disfigure it, push fragmentation because they are lusting after revenue and your money. of course its slow now, full of bugs and looks like crap - what do you expect, they didnt simply write modular extensions as they've could, they made dead sure you won't be able to de-install it by cracking up the framework whatever the cost and stuffing their rotten bloat into the poor thing.

the practical benefits? if you own a nexus you'll experience a modern, sleek operating system that is definitively a step into the right direction. something that feels good, looks good and operates like putty in your hands. on every other system you are f****d. call it "ics" what they've dished out but you're fooling yourself. gb is probably better than that indeed. and if you're fed up with the good ole' fragmentation game all together simply do not buy sony, samsung, htc or whatever, buy nexus where android is allowed to be itself.
[Android General] huy_lonewolf:
Personally, I can understand what you mean, but I still prefer HTC Sense to stock Android (including ICS) as there are many features that the Galaxy Nexus lacks (Internet-pass-through and text reflow in browser). Moreover, if I want pure ICS, I can just install a custom ROM on my Sensation. I will be installing custom ROM anyway, so fragmentation is not my problem as well. My bug with ICS is this: ICS is specifically optimized for TI OMAP 4 (which is the worst SOC I can think of for my phone compared to Snapdragon S3 or Samsung Exynos) and currently all of my devices running ICS (HTC Sensation, HTC One X, ASUS Transformer Prime) have video rendering problem when hardware acceleration is on (either the videos become choppy (snapdragon S3) or blurry (Tegra 3)). No other version of Android I have used has this many problems when it was launched.

I have rooted my S2 but now unrooted but problem is that before rooting my firmware was PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KI4: / CSC KJ1 (KSA) showing on KIES... now it is showing PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KI4: / CSC KJ1 (XSG)although i have downloaded official stock firmware from sammobile firmwares which is SAUDI ARABIA but why the hell iit is showing (XSG) instead of (KSA) on KIES.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
It doesn't makes any big difference, so as long as it shows updates in kies you have no problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieS2:

can i flash official ICS from any other region after rooting?

ya sure, but you can upgrade to other region ics even without rooting. download the ics firmware you want to flash and use odin to flash it. do read the odin tutorial on how to do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
you can flash any i9100 ICS ROM if you have i9100 Model.

try dialing wipe code, it might fix your csc issue.

or try changing csc manually.

Has anyone been working on this? I like the tw widgets and the ease of the ics widget/app drawer. If not i am pleading to the wonderful devs. Is this possible?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] foreverjasmine:
You can flash Calkulin's E4GT 2 Rom. After first boot you can choose to use TWLauncher as your default launcher. If it doesn't work, go to

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
I know that.that is not what I'm asking.I'm asking about a blend between ics and tw. Using the general tw launcher with the app drawer from ics that way the tw widgets arent sized all messed up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
modifying the app drawer to behave like stock ics would have no impact on widget size.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
the stock tw widgets are obviously not compatible with the ics launcher because they are made for TW. so again i would like to see a modified TW launcher with the ics app drawer....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I think there's some confusion going on here. Widgets are not all necessarily launcher specific. There are some that are optimized for a certain launcher (as in TW) but that doesn't necessarily regulate them to only being used on that specific launcher.

If you're looking for an ICS look and feel I'd recommend either Apex or Nova from the Play Store.

My personal favorite is Apex. If you're worried about keeping the widgets looking nice you can long press a widget and then resize it. You also have the ability to customize the number of rows and columns to get it feeling 100% perfect.

Nova has a lot of the same things and some people prefer it over Apex but most of the advanced features require you to buy the pro version.

Here's a screenshot of a TW optimized widget I resized in a variety of ways using Apex.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
I'm on nova and I changed the number of columns and rows to Max and added force allow to resize Widgets so I kinda have them working
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klorin:
Hello. I've startet noobing around with different ROMs on my Nexus S 9020T, so far I've tried 4 different ROMs. The one I like best is

[ROM] Androxide 1.2.1 | AOSP | 4.0.3 | 21-03-2012, but I miss the BLN mod one of the other ROMs gave me.

Can I flash a different kernel over the ROM I'm using to get BLN?

How do I know if a KERNEL is compatible with the ROM I'm using?

I've been browsing the dev section and found this [Kernel] SimpleKernel 1.20 (stock kernel + backlight mods + voodoo*). Can it be used with the Androxide ROM?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teoserio:
Sure! Go and flash with rom manager or directory through cwm (wipe cache highly suggested)

I upgraded my Sensation to the official OTA ICS recently and found out that the stock HTC Calendar has changed. It looks like the one in the first attached screenshot. Is it possible to get the calendar app that looks like the one on the second attached screenshot? My calendar looked like that before the update and it worked better for me than the new one does.
[HTC Sensation] abhishek89:
no way taari maa ni kan...
[HTC Sensation] DeactivatedProtocolDroid:
I don't think so. Those calendars are part of Sense.
[HTC Sensation] DeactivatedProtocolDroid:
But on second thought some devs can modify Sense, like keyboard, clock widgets.. so I guess they can port the old calendar widget from sense 3.0 to sense 3.6

hi

I would like to know if can I change fonts size on the galaxy tab 7 7 with Honeycomb ? And how?

the fonts sizes are really small. I can't read it
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
There is a free app called Big Font for solving this problem.

However, I found that some app doesn't work well with Big Font, among which is the default Calendar app. You could still read the calendar with some other calendar apps, say Pocket Informant (paid), though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] carlo67:
thank you but I meant tthe system system font not apps

or does the Big Font do system font size?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Richdog:
A simple search would have found several threads that answer this question.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
No need to be rude, its not like the threads about it actually provides a trouble free solution.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Richdog:

Have you tried Spare Parts?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aximtreo:
Yes, bigfont will change the system font size. It doesn't work in Kindle and most readers but they have their own font changing ability.

It also won't change the startup screen or the text under icons but all in all, it works well.

I'm using Link2SD and even though there are Gigabytes of free space, I can't move a 6MB app from the SD card to the SD card's second partition because of apparently lack of free space:

The internal memory has about 50MB free, SD card has 7GB free and the second partition has 800MB free..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Virus1x:
I am trying to figure out which of the Entropy's Daily Driver's is the best non-buggy to use or...

suggest a different kernel, I really don't feel like flashing 10-15-20 kernels to find the one that is most stable and most reliable with the goodies required
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
Depends on which firmware you're on...

Stock based Gingerbread I suggest the latest 3/7 DD from his thread... or Siyah kernel

Stock CM7 Kernel for CM7 (as it already comes with all his additions) ...or Siyah kernel

His ICS kernel is only for certain i9100 roms...

and the CM9/AOKP stock kernel should be used if using CM9/AOKP according to the big man himself. (again, him and the CM9 team share code...) (there's also a kernel by Fenny for ICS roms being released soon) ALSO- Siyah Kernel will be updated in short order for ICS/CM9/AOKP...

:-)

But definitely the latest daily driver or Siyah kernel if you're using Gingerbread (and soon ICS)...

Entropy and Siyah used to be very different... but most features match these days in the gingerbread versions- as I'm sure they will in the ICS versions.

And if you're running CM9 or AOKP, use the kernel they come with to avoid malfunctions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
Read the DD thread and make your own judgement - but you're still going to end up trying 3 or 4 minimum if you really want to get the "best non-buggy" for your use. Results varied across the board for everyone who tried the different versions. And 15 minutes of your time reading would probably cross 80% of them off your list of ones to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Stuff after 12/8 seemed to not play well with AT&T's broken bases (UC anything).

If you're on a base that doesn't suck - go for the latest on GB.

Really?

You don't want to flash them to find out which works best for you?
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
First of all those you think official ICS update is awesome can close this thread :p for those who are interested to know why it SUCKS and how HTC really blew it read below

Almost 1 month ago when the update was available on Elevate XDA and non XDA members found some annoying bugs and notified HTC. However, nothing was fixed and this half baked update was pushed to the devices...

1. Music app is completely f***ed up! Not only its slow as hell to change tracks its UI became useless. If you look at overall design scheme it seems like big buttons at the bottom (just like in GB) are available almost everywhere (main menu, email client, personalize selection area) but not here WHY? because this app wasn't finished.

2. Native widgets are not updated, if you check the version some of them still show 3.0 build numbers. Again they didn't optimize them. Music widget flashes each time you change the homescreen, calendar's agenda view is not updated, it refreshes each time you flip home screen

3. Camera app doesn't close properly. if you enabled auto-brightness and opened/closed the camera it still keeps highest brightness level (only fix is to lock/unlock the device)

4. Stupid spelling mistakes such as develop option , Last OTA update fixed all spelling errors expect this one

5. Lock screen wallpapers doesn't change when you set a custom one, ringtones dont play properly. UPDATE: After you manually set your ringtones this problem is fixed

Overall I'm really sad that they did this, I really thought HTC genuinely cares about quality and its customers.

When Sense 4.0 ROMs become stable and rock solid I'm going to flash my device and never expect something from HTC again :mad::(

While i agree there are a few bugs in ICS that need sorting, overall ICS on the Sensation is much better than Gingerbread.

No doudt HTC will sort out the bugs with a few small updates in the coming months.
[HTC Sensation] BobKatz:
@Pikabat, you’ve got a UK phone haven’t you? So you’ll only just have updated? Have you really given it enough time to give that sort of judgement? Besides the issue you’ve given aren’t life threatening are they? They sound like niggles. Apart from those issues does the phone run more smoothly? More responsive?
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
I have not updated to ICS the official way, but I think I have (thanks to mike1986) what who updated waiting until the very end of march has.

I want to say that I am a little bit disappointed too, because of the "beta release" to the elevate members that became the final release to everyone even if it has some bugs.

But I didn't notice all the bugs you are mentioning and you didn't talk about a very annoying one I really hate...the browser.

These are the bugs I actually have:

1. there are stupid spelling mistakes in italian too, but the music player, widgets and lockscreen wallpapers work well;

2. Sometimes the autobrightess when you exit the camera app stays to the maximum (same thing happened with GB);

3. the most annoying one...the browser not opening links from other apps, but opening the last visited page at the first tap instead, forcing you to exit and re-tap the link to have finally it loaded (a flashable zip by liamsstears fixed this).

4. Multitouch switches touches between two fingers when one stays on the screen and the other taps somewhere else.

So, after the browser fix and SebastianFM kernel that fixes the multitouch, I can say I have a really nice, fast and stable ICS with Sense 3.6 on my Sensation, thanks to HTC releasing it and to developers on xda fixing the embarrassing bugs HTC left in. ;)

Do a hard reset, works wonders to allowing the OTA to 'take' so to speak. Not had any of the issues you've experienced (except the glaring spelling mistakes, but HTC are already aware of them)

[HTC Sensation] yozas:
How come I don't see any of these spelling mistakes you people talk about? I mean I can't find "aerplane", where is it? And "Personal storage" is properly capitalized also.. I can only find "Develop option", but to be honest I'm not too sure that this really is a mistake, though english is not my native language. And widgets are fine too, including camera, no other issues also.

Is it possible that there were two OTA updates? One that was unfinished and was released by mistake, and the other one is 'final'?
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:

[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Can you compare the software version page?

http://imgur.com/2D1gC
[HTC Sensation] yozas:
It is the same. How is this possible? Maybe HTC hasn't marked the beta version as beta before the leak so that there exist two different OTAs but with the same naming? I mean it would not be too surprising, after all, the unfinished final version wasn't supposed to be released at all.

My OTA update screens looked like this, earlier I did two screenshots of the updating process, just in case:

http://i41.tinypic.com/ick9b4.jpg

I see that it differs (the size for example) from the early leaked one in this topic:

[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The OTA is not beta, it's just a few spelling mistakes in certain locales - they'll sort it out eventually

Then how do you explain that some phones have spelling mistakes and others dont?
