These are exchanging the base camera.apk(not 3rd party camera apk) so you can still use camera360 or whatever you like with it.

so I bought a used sprint p100, I noticed that it is rooted.

But I want to install new roms(ics). Is there a way to install cwm to flash a rom? Or am I doing something wrong? ive search around, but dont really want to go back to stock unless I have to.

thanks.

[Android General] Habarug:
I agree, but the reason I don't like TW is not because of fragmentation, but because It's just so extremely ugly. I know this is a personal opinion, but I know many people agree with me and I can't see how Samsung can possibly have missed this and continues to use it.

Also the fact that it is so similar to gb TW is stupid. HTC understood that they had to renew themselves and created a, in my opinion, amazing skin
[Android General] GuestD0586:
yeah! this video, which i want to post, but the forum rules doesn't allow me to do so until i reach the 8 posts.

Anyways, thanks
[Android General] GuestD0586:
yeah, they've completely bungled up the ICS update for S II, only because of the ugly touchwiz. i mean just watch the video once, one can hardly tell the difference between gingerbread & ice cream sandwich, if they want to upgrade the software just to make them look-alike then i guess that their next flagship will be just like their previous, at least when it comes to os
[Android General] TheSniperFan:
The two biggest cons for me are that Samsung updates horribly slow because of it and that it's plain ugly.

Gingerbread, TouchWiz and Sense are closer to the style of iOS, while Ice Cream Sandwich is closer to the modern Windows Phone 7 style.

I like that much more. The only thing that I find better in WP7 than in iOS and Android is the design of the User Interface.
[Android General] mcord11758:
to be honest I am using a port of the HTC One with Sense 4.0 and Htc did nearly the same thing. If you didnt tell me it was ICS I would think it was gingerbread with a new sense clock widget. I am not sure why the OEMs continue to do this. Maybe samsungs or htcs decisions suite some, but when the first thing I need to do with the HTC port is start yanking apks and adding different launchers to convince myself I am running ICS there is an issue
[Android General] chrisrotolo:
incredible step backwards. total gingerbread sh!t.

ruins the whole essence of ICS if you ask me.

damn you and your Galaxy Value Pack upgrades too!

I dont want to unlock my phone with my face OK?
[Android General] zelendel:
Guys you have to understand. We are the 1% of their users. And even some of us prefer ugly UI (MIUI). The OEM will always do this. The UI is their branding on a phone. Most normal users like the way it looks. Personally I have not seem a good looking UI from anyone. All 2 tone colors and flat images. Thank god for custom themes. Lol

If you want regular updates then get a Nexus. When it comes to anything other then the nexus, the carriers have all the control over the updates. (At least in the states)
[Android General] shadowskorch:
Some people don't know that you can disable defaults on twlauncher and go to stock launcher instead.
[Android General] h0ruza:
I've made simular comments in the past few months after the first leaked images of the Samsung ICS update.

I argued that what we are seeing is a midcycle update and not the rule of thumb for future devices.

Don't get me wrong, this by no means advocates samsungs decision to strip ICS of its looks and feature set. I'm merely able to understand that many millions of people have bought this phone (millions of very ordinary people) and this isn't like an upgrade from froyo to gingerbread where the notification bar gets changed to black. ICS is a different animal all together.

My mother chose her green screen nokia 3210 over a cybershot Sony Ericsson simply because she wasn't keen on the icon style UI. She has never strayed from nokia since even though they now have icons.

Its a fear of losing customers which has lead to such a timid update and samsung as a brand doesn't have the same innovative swagger as HTC let's say. Where as HTC customers are almost expecting HTC to make everything more glossy and spin around like a disco dancer every two weeks in an update.

My GSII is still amazing with gingerbread. I've changed the launcher which I would have done and will do no matter what they did with ICS. Orange UK will release the ICS update in the coming weeks and my expectations are safely low.

I don't believe this will be the case for the GSIII by the way. Plus I also here that samsung may be the first to offer a choice of the new TW ICS (that's not so locked to the gingerbread experience) and Vanilla ICS.

My fingers are crossed and anyway my next upgrade cycle isn't until next year when jellybean will be out and the GSIV or "the New GS" will be in full swing.

Booooom!

[Android General] juandidug13:
Lol see the problem is, samsung believes in only changing the interface and adding true new features in their next flagship phone, unlike iOS where the new interface changes show up on older models. Samsung i hate you, and not by opinion but because i have the tab 8.9 and captivate and you havent done anything to fix their various bugs etc, so i have to rely on custom romsol

Hi, what are the steps to do so?

Thanks
[Android General] chrisrotolo:
I have the GTab 7.0+ w/3G extremly similar to this "NEW" Galaxy Tab "2" 7.0 being released the 22nd. Basically a cheapo spin off to compete with Kindle Fire.

They announced it officially yesterday.

so my device GT-P6200, will likely get exact same ICS we're seeing on this new Gtab "2" as its nearly identical.

They managed to keep the honeycomb 3.2 softkeys in 4.0.3 ICS. uggghhh.

just release the source code ASAP, so we can build what everyone really wants.
[Android General] charmthief88:
Why are the OEM's dragging their feet on ICS?

As we at XDA know, the commerical releases don't mean better. It's impressive to see what the devs here can accomplish. Now suggested is that HTC and Sammy what to keep a consistent user experience for the many uninformed consumer. Informed or uninformed, the consumer have turned against most UI and OS that do this for too long, iOS of course proving the exception. Even then discontent is hinted at.

Also suggested is that this is intential as manufacturers are unhappy and resisting Google, which I discuss in another thread.

Whatever the reason it is disappointing. But thank the stars we have XDA, spread the word.
[Android General] yohobojo:
Whenever people say Samsung updates slowly, I get pissed. First of all, the original Galaxy S was the first, besides the Nexus to get Gingerbread. Second, it's not all the companies fault. Carriers also slow down updates too. You don't like Samsung, don't get it. People buy Samsung because their phones are good regardless of touchwiz or not. Look at the Galaxy Note. It sold over 1 million in just a week. Now, it sold almost 10 million. I could care less about touchwiz, but I love Samsung phones. That's why there are things such as alternative launchers...

So imo, it's not really justified to bash Samsung...
[Android General] shadowskorch:
It's easy as pie. Go to settings -> then applications -> select the 'all' tab -> scroll down until you see 'twlauncher' -> click twlauncher and remove defaults.

It works in the leaks for the epic4gtouch, do I don't see why it won't work on the international version
[Android General] madquack:
When will people learn that companies cater to the masses and doesn't give a **** about most of us on here...

That being said, if you don't like it, stop crying and create your own theme or launcher app, or simply buy another device, one of your own liking.

Can't please everybody.

:rolleyes:
[Android General] I Am Marino:
It's obvious companies like Samsung and the carriers want you to buckle down and upgrade your contract and buy the newest stuff available, hence why the original Galaxy S isn't getting ICS when we all know it can handle it.

Samsung releasing way too many devices doesn't help either.
[Android General] charmthief88:
Yeah, Sammy just keeps churning out variations, they some how must be profitable or they wouldn't do it. Despite all the different variations I tend to think Galaxy S series (captivate, S 4g) GS2 series (epic 4g, skyrocket international gt19100) Note, Tabs, Galaxy Ace... the other varieties not so much. I respect HTC's decision of fewer yet more focused range with its One series. (Why no Micro SD though... it makes me look at the 4x HD for that reason alone, and GS3 when it comes out. Dropbox is only 2 years)

While there is some validity to the be happy with what you get comment when buying a smartphone, our suggestions also look out for the company image when compared competitively. Android manufacturers and carriers are earning a wretched reputation which Fanbois on the other camps more than readily use ad naseum. I know technically a phone that has seen 4 updates (including the value pack) since June 2010 (less than 2 years) trounces iOS once a year update.
[Android General] elquango:
does anyone have a stock version of ICS installed on their s2?

if so how does it differ from samsungs version?

i can see it looks different but in terms of the basic apps how does it run differently, workflow and performance wise?

personally i dont mind how TW works and looks and im happy to stick with it.

i prefer the look of ICS but unless there is a significant difference i probably wouldnt switch

tried that. there is no option to do that on twlauncher
[Android General] molesarecoming:
some people don't know that samsung's adulterated the entire framework. changing the launcher will only make it WORSE, bacause you come from one region of the OS with style X into another with style Y. have you seen googles & duartes efforts? its not just about the launcher, its each and every pixel, little elements like buttons, checkboxes, hell, they even designed an entire font to fit our modern displays. all these small factors play their part and we call the whole ice cream sandwich. samsung has taken a big fat dump on it and i'd feel ugly to cover that up with a launcher, knowingly ignore that underneath runs a river of filth. what you can do is install a custom rom, cm9 has done more for that poor little sucker than samsung ever will. better yet, as someone said before, buy a nexus.
[Android General] charmthief88:
It also ignores the intention behing ICS, to give a refreshing, fluid, likable, intuitive UI and OS to make Android more appealing and competitive.

Buy a Nexus phone? No major arguments on that front. However, it's in Sammy's interest to dull the Nexus a little. They want you to consider their own pure Sammy flagship, not Google's. Many still argue that GS2 just edges out the Galaxy Nexus despite it's bigger screen. Prefer Exynos, prefer Gorilla glass, prefer micro SD card. Even though one knows the advantage of Stock Android on a very similar device, one would still think twice.

I don't have Tw installed but I'll assume it's just like every other default app. Go to settings -> Manage Apps -> Touchwiz -> Clear Default

you own a sch-i500 and you dont think samsung updates slowly? i remember waiting forever for samsung to update the fascinate to gingerbread... with froyo i had the missed call and screwed up text problems... verizon started swapping it out because there wasnt a update yet...

and samsung has some of the best hardware... just some of the worst software..
[Android General] molesarecoming:
yes, sadly. but im used to be getting screwed for more than 10 years of using cellphones. they have put bull**** on my phone that connects to the internet when youre sitting on it, they have sold ridiculous contracts, they have switched off everything that gives me freedom. android came and changed all that - so i don't care much about the device, they all do the job, but with real android on top, they might even excell. it just so happenend that i got the nexus and my gf the s2, both are great - but in comparisation the s2 is a poor sucker, especially with that fake ics running on it. it cant do anything better or faster then nexus, it just has bad software on board, or old software like gingerbread, or is running roms that come from nexus anyway like aokp or cna - and running those with issues. now the s3 comes out and will be bazzillliioonnn times better, so you hear, but i dont care, nexus takes all i throw at it and the build community is great, im waiting for the next one. im tired of oem's, i believe samsung will meet the same end as nokia did if they do not stop pulling that bs.
[Android General] Aced-It:
Samsung do have one thing right though as was mentioned before; good hardware. I agree with the reskinning of the beautiful ICS, however this issue can be easily fixed by flashing on CM9. while still fairly new, if you're running decent hardware its not an issue. It hasnt been mentioned here yet, but I dont think interface is everything, There is a RIDICULOUS performance increase running ICS, and while Samsung like to stamp everything with their samsung stamp, they havent messed with the performance or the back end, just the visuals, which while is a shame, like I have already said; it can be easily fixed.

We will see with the upcoming release of the SII whether or not they are holding out on the proper ICS skinning.
[Android General] charmthief88:
However the Samsung version of Gorilla glass, doesn't cut it. Fails horribly. I don't like the trend of phones skipping micro SD and removable battery. The TW ICS is unremarkable in any fashion. The Nexus series is attractive to people like you and me, who know better. However the Galaxy Nexus has a few other beautiful features not discussed. The average customer doesn't understand the advantage of a pure Google experience. It's a shame.

If Samsung does refresh TW to look like an improved version for ICS, or JB when it comes out. To be honest I would like them to ditch TW altogether as many here would like. But its apart of their image now, and they are loathe the ditch it.

Should be interesting to see how Sony handles ICS.
[Android General] dahevos:

[Android General] olyloh6696:
The majority of people who buy a phone don't want to have major changes to it.

Samsung delibrately made the UI similiar so you can't tell the difference. If they mad radical changes, they would have complaints from users on how to downgrade.

And you should be grateful there is a update, Samsung are not obliged to make a ICS update. You didn't buy the phone knowing it was going to get ICS.
[Android General] molesarecoming:
many people appreciate the interface of samsung, but bada is discussed elsewhere. this topic is about samsung taking something which works and looks great and adulterating it to bits and pieces and by this pushing the android fragmentation to new heights, something ics was meant to stop in the first place. i don't get it man, are you saying that you appreciate their "efforts" even if it meant that you had to wait half a year for samsung to disfigure ics and make it as ugly as humanly possible and being left in the rain for coming updates because they won't possibly re-write the entire framework again for each and every update that comes? if they had taken ics as it is, you'd enjoy the most modern OS of all, you've had it a long time ago, you'd now be on 4.0.4 which fixes a whole bunch of errors and you'd receive all updates to come. :)

its weird to observe, im a amateur photographer and the companies in that field do exactly the same, pushing one stupid device after another, making the software as closed and proprietary as possible, feeding the public silly hardware specs that supposedly make everything better - and for some weird reason it works, they're making a ****load of money. i always thought, one day a firmware will be open and that will change all. that assumption was probably wrong, as i now suspect. nothing will change. samsung, who has just screwed a million customers will again sell millions of crippled S3's, and people will buy it because of bechmarks and marketing stunts and they'll appriciate a firmware that is heavy on bloat, commercial revenue for samsung and its partners, provider controlled and crippled (no tethering, no voip, no this, no that). but ... why?
[Android General] charmthief88:
You have just voiced the what most of the average customers will think, or Samsung's impression of how they think the average customer will think. But they did change it, both from what was in the old TW and in stock ICS. For example from the dialer you could go straight to contacts, rather needing then jump out to go to contacts. This makes less intuitive and easy. Some of the changes ditch both had been in the GB TW3 and in stock ICS. It is just nonsense. And it's laggy and doesn't play well with apps that had been updated for ICS.
[Android General] malih16:
I think I read somewhere that SAMSUNG is one of the member of the alliance that promised 18 months Android upgrade program, that means they are obliged, isn't it?

First off I'm using nAa's new ICS rom.

Now I don't want it anymore and I can't get rid of it in the security settings or the VPN settings, or any other settings that I've searched for that matter.

In the lock screen section of security section, the "None" option is grayed out and under it says "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage"

I feel really dumb, though, because just before reading your reply I realized that removing the VPN that I had created did the trick.

For what reason the lock screen requires a password/pattern when there's a VPN stored on the phone I shall never know.

Being a newbie doesn't mean to be dumb

Of course there are lots of other ways,but what's your exact problem right now?

well,different Roms,have different settings but totally when you are going to change something which you have created before like a pattern/pass,an account or a vpn,the devices needs to know that the Owner is gonna change setting and simply asks you the pass.:)
