[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
ICS is pretty cool but it should not be the primary driver in making this decision. The Photon is already running CM9 and it will get official ICS support later this year. You need to compare specs between these two phones and match them to your lifestyle. Me, I live in a suburban area where the signal strength is only OK. I used to get a decent signal outside and in different spots within my house but now that I have a Photon that has all changed. I get signal almost everywhere. I don't have 4G in my area so I'm able to run CM9 as my daily driver with zero complaints. In my opinion the Photon is superior but if I lived in the middle of Manhattan I'd probably be rocking a Galaxy Nexus because the city's coverage is much better and Manhattan will get LTE.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slick69:
The Galaxy Nexus and Photon are really apples and oranges. One is a Wimax phone while the other is an LTE phone. There are some areas with both types of 4G, but for the most part if you're not in the buildout you'd be stuck with 3G data. One is $150 on craigslist and the other is $200 on contract.

Its better to compare the Galaxy Nexus to the HTC EVO 4G LTE. In that respect, the only advantage to the Galaxy Nexus is being a Google-supported device. That really doesn't mean much to me, since Google has shown that they only care about one generation past, and ICS only just came to the Nexus S 4G last week, even the HTC Sensation and the international Galaxy S2 got ICS before that.

Even if you have a fully functional Photon with ICS though, which doesn't exist, the Galaxy Nexus is still better. And you better be prepared to pay $400+ more for the privilege.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
I really like my photon its been great and I don't really have any complaints. I would like to have a nfc chip and a Google phone. I have a hard time buying another Samsung phone tho. A Motorola nexus phone would be awesome.... I really think they have the best hardware hands down.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Draiko:
The nexus is nice. The leaks on the SGS3 are a little disappointing. I'll be holding out for an updated photon or a Tegra 4 device with support for the 800 mhz LTE spectrum next year. Pretty happy with the photon.

[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
So, I had some free time and decided to make this kind of organizational chart containing the hierarchy of ROMs for our Nexus S. You can see in the chart which ROM is based on which.

You can take a look at it here..

If you think I made some mistakes with the chart, let me know and I'll fix them.

If the mods here think such kind of thread is a waste, I don't mind it being deleted.

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
Nice work Glenn. I really like the chart ;)

I just wanted to check if kalim's ROM is "official" CM9 directly from CyanogenMod team or it is modded?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
kalim is cm9's voice on the nexus s.
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
Yeah, as far as I know, CM Team is divided into individuals to maintain separate devices.

In this case, KalimochoAz is the only one responsible for Nexus S.

It's stated that Steve Kondik (Cyanogen) himself is a maintainer for Nexus S as well.

But I don't think he has that much time to spent for development.
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
Thanks sims and glenn for this info :)

@glenn I think that MIUIXPERIENCE is based on kong's ROM so it should be a child of Catalyst in the hierarchy if I am not wrong.
[Nexus S General] renna1992:
thanks for your work, i hope this will stay here and if anything changes it will get updated by time :)
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
Well, at first I was thinking about that.

But when I opened the thread to make sure I didn't make mistake, I think DaXmax made some changes to his ROM.

Previously, on #1 and #2, the base ROM was kong's MIUI (I remembered this one).

But since #4, I see the base is official MIUI, as stated there.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawke84:
Hi,

I've got the Tuf-Luv case which has a part for keyboard and the tablet which snaps together so you can have whole thing protected. Issue i have is that it adds a little bit of distance between the tablet and the dock when closed and because of this the tablet screen keeps coming on.

Is there any way to stop the screen from coming on when it is opened when attached to the dock?

thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] infant00:
CleanViewpad7 is the best ROM that I have ever had. I just bought a new smart phone today. It surprised me that Viewpad 7 with CleanViewpad7 is much more smooth than Samsung Infuse 4G. I want to appreciate the effort of skink123 and mb-14, but I do not have enough permission to reply the original thread. It is really a great work. You guys make an amazing tablet. Thank you so much!

And I just found that the download link is broken.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23135883#post23135883

It is sad when a great work is no longer there for anyone to enjoy. But actually it is misunderstood for floriskopinga and davicito75. In the original thread, mb-14 modified skink123's ROM and uploaded to his dropbox.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21654931/VPAD7_signed.zip

And this ROM is what I said to be better than Samsung Infuse 4G. Please check it out and enjoy it : )

It may happen that you have problems of streaming or playing videos with a green bar on top. I found that it can simply be solved by editing /System/build.prop

[HTC One S] nozzla:
HI

Got my One S yesterday and might i just say i think its the bees knees so to speak.

So far everything seems fine and no noticed any of the issues mentioned here.

The first thing i have noticed today however is this:

I had the phone connected to my home's wifi which was great, however when i got to work this morning it thought it was still connected to such WIFI eventhough i was miles from home. i had to turn wifi off and on to fix it.

Anyone else noticed this, or have an idea of how to fix?

Cheers
[HTC One S] orenfl:
It is a known bug

I also found myself traveling miles from home with no WIFI in the horizon with my home network still connected, blocking the phone from switching to mobile data.

We will probably need to wait for a firmware update.
[HTC One S] nozzla:
Not reckon a factory reset will do the trick?
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Haven't tried yet

but a short term solution is disable->enable the wifi totally.
[HTC One S] nozzla:
yeah i know. just annoying.
[HTC One S] orenfl:
very annoying!

but it doesn't happen every time though...
[HTC One S] orenfl:
but I do get once in a while an error enabling WIFI

on top of that, I do get once in a while error when trying to enable WIFI.

no detailed data but just "Error" instead of the regular on/off.
[HTC One S] pzboyz:
Have seen the same problem too, sometimes the device gets stuck thinking it is connected to Wifi when in fact it is many miles from the network it claims to be connected to.
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
I have seen the problem the other way around... when having been outside of the range of my wifi-router the HOS won't connect back to it when coming home... the only thing to do is to shut off wifi on the phone..
[HTC One S] orenfl:
that exactly what i added before

I have mentioned that trying to re-enable WIFI results in an error instead of either on or off in its settings. Indeed only phone restart helps.
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
I didn't get any errors... I just disabled wifi and turned it back on again... no need to reboot the phone...
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Error message

the error I mentioned is not always and usually I can disable/enable w/o any issue.

But, it did happened more than once.
[HTC One S] nascio:
to me it doesn't happen
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
After some more testing I have come to this conclusion:

If I put the wifi in high power mode it connects immedietly to my trusty DIR-655 after having slept for some time. If I put it in low power mode it is trying to connect but doesn't do squat.

From there I just have to momentarily disable and enable wifi in order for it to happily reconnect again. Yay for the wifi widget... :-)

And yes, I want the phone to shut down wifi when in standby mode. NOT always on.
[LG Nitro HD] edge808:
I am trying to learn rom development because I feel bad that my device (LU6200) gets very little attention in the forums. I figured might as well learn something and help the rest of the poor souls with the same model as mine.

So if anyone would be so kind:

1.) What's the relationship between the kernel and rom?

2.) Will adopting a compatible kernel make a non compatible rom (due to minor model differences) work? I'm talking about about a LU6200 kernel for a CM9 P930 rom.

3.) What applications/drivers control the sim card access and network compatibility? - My phone (and sim) seems to run ok with the Canadian restore of a P930, but HO!NO! and other modded roms crashes my phone whenever I input an APN and attempt data connection.

Thanks in advance for any kind soul out there. Plus, I would not mind reading through pages of tutorials if anyone can link some.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
1. The kernel is the interface between your phone's OS, and its hardware components. It presents the components to the OS and tells it what each component does.

2. Using a p930 rom with a modified lu6200 kernel should work, but a p930 rom that flashes a p930 kernel will cause problems due to a change in hardware layouts on each phone.

3. Sorry, not sure. Try apn backup/restore.
[LG Nitro HD] freefall12:
hi,man you're not alone.!i also tried hard to port CM9 for 6200. But with no help from some experts, it's really hard for beginners like us.so i eventually gave up. what i learned from my messing with the rom is there's a difference in flash layout. i tried to take the ramdisk part from 6200 and repack it with cm9's kernel.sadly that doesn't work. flashing only the cm9's system part will cause endless boot loops.
[LG Nitro HD] edge808:
@hereric

Thanks for the answers. That helped cleared things a bit. I've also started reading on compiling kernels myself but it seems a lot more complicated than I had anticipated. But I'm patient. I'll read up some more.

Is it possible compare the source of the GB kernels of a lu6200 and a p930, figure out the differences, and then modify the p930 kernel so it's compatible with the lu6200 hardware? I mean the kernels shouldn't be too far apart considering they are nearly identical in hardware.

@freefall12

Have you tried flashing an CM9 build and then follow it up with HO!NO! LU6200 Overclock kernel?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] celkin:
A good portion of the AT&T list apps are actually on the Rogers phone as well, with probably about 25% of the Rogers Apps not on the list. I removed the majority of the Apps listed on the AT&T list with no issue.

But that being said I would also very much like to see an actual list.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badgerbun:

GPS is free,

As for data ,

It really depends on the App you are using.

For example :

Google maps requires you to download the maps which would require data.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkjensen:
You can pre-cache a 10milex10mile square in the google maps app but you'd have to know where you were going to go in advance to cache the areas but this can be done during a trip whenever you have wifi and know you're changing cities. No turn by turn or searching but at least you'd have a map you could plot your position on from the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Well, most phones have A-gps, that stands for "assisted GPS": it is not the same as the common gps in Tom Tom devices and so on.

A-Gps has less power consumption, but a weaker receiver so, without the help of a data connection, it would turn to be quite useless, apart from the maps that should be loaded in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjclayton:
GPS positioning data is always free..

You just need the right software to do turn by turn nav (Like Sygic or NavFree / etc)..

You can cache maps off of Google, but that won't give you turn by turn.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Sure GPS connection is free, but data run on 3g or 2g network to assist the GPS. May be it's not a big amount but, if you're travelling abroad, it won't be so cheap:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1ny:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ribou:
You can use iGO MyWay for android. Easy program and it dosn't connect to internet
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Straight from Wikipedia. Now it'll be clear that a-gps needs data connection...

Standalone GPS provides first position in approximately 30-40 seconds. A Standalone GPS system needs orbital information of the satellites to calculate the current position. The data rate of the satellite signal is only 50 b/s, so downloading orbital information like ephemeris and almanac directly from satellites typically takes a long time, and if the satellite signals are lost during the acquisition of this information, it is discarded and the standalone system has to start from scratch. In AGPS, the Network Operator deploys an AGPS server. These AGPS servers download the orbital information from the satellite and store it in the database. An AGPS capable device can connect to these servers and download this information using Mobile Network radio bearers such as GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, LTE or even using other wireless radio bearers such as Wi-Fi. Usually the data rate of these bearers is high, hence downloading orbital information takes less time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
AGPS downloads very little data and it doesn't even require cell service. I have a non activated Android device and using GPS Status it will download AGPS data over wifi. This data is pretty small in size and you only need it to initially lock on satellites faster. Without AGPS data you'll just have to wait longer to get a lock.

For an offline GPS app, I use Sygic since it uses TomTom maps and I've owned a TomTom unit before. But there are other good ones out there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Yes, there's no contraddiction between all that has been said by both of us. Not a huge data amount but if you are abroad and a roaming area it won't be cheap, because the data flows any time a fix is needed... Just think of tunnels and areas where the GPS signal is weak. I mean, the fix is not one only, it may be 20 or even 100 during an hour of navigation.

Hi everyone,

just flashed CM9 and like it so far, but wanted to try out AOKP build 32 for the Galaxy S2.

Problem is, when I look at the release page of AOKP, they don't list the S2, but the S.

Sorry if that's a noobish question, but I searched a while and just can't find an answer. And it seems weird for me that the S but not the S2 is supported.

Which ROM should I use for the Galaxy S2?

Sadly I cannot post in the development area. Because of this I have to ask my question in this area.

I have installed the ROM mentioned in the title. The hardware keyboard is "QWERTY". As I am from Germany I would prefer "QWERTZ" layout. Is there a possibility to change it?

Kind regards.

I finally managed to find the right fastboot file (I think) to get me back to stock on my Verizon RAZR Maxx. The RAZR utility wouldn't work, but RSD lite did...sort of. At the end of the program while the phone was rebooting it got hung in the boot loop. I returned to the menu using pwr/vol+- and selected normal boot, and I got through the boot screen. RSD was hung up so I just closed it. Now I'm trying to get root back using the RAZR utility and the ICS installer, and it keeps saying that the system can't find the file specified.
