I happily use a tablet for just browsing, but I don't think I'll ever replace my pc with one, they just aren't up to par and there's nothing like tapping out on a proper keyboard and a tablet is too easy to just launch

Yes, long overdue! Congrats LOWVELD! :D

It's a jungle over there, unsure of which ROM to use right now! Might just hang out on stock and wait for JB to come, November?

Any reason why you're on CM9 and not CM10? :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Reread the previous post i made about it, I'm not talking about replacing it with just the tablet, I'm taking about replacing it with tablet/smartphone + tv + keyboard & mouse (and maybe additional peripheral devices) ;)

The only real advantage you currently get with a desktop (at least for my opinion) is the os (which will hopefully change with canonicals feature), more power (which also will change in near future i guess [armv8 with 64 bit and overclocking, cores and ram increase anyway with every year]) and the modularity (ok that's a bottleneck somehow, not completely, because you are able to stuff together different peripheral devices, but not the cpu or such).

Now add to the mobile side the new 4k technology in tvs and the possibility to equip it with mhl (or even wireless, like with allshare cast).

For sure it isn't ready for it yet, but think about how fast it evolved to the current stage and compare it with the significant slowdown at the desktop, yes amd has a octacore, but the focus of the tech industry is at mobile devices and i don't think it will change back soon.

Enigmaamit: it's quite recent, just 2 days ago and caught me by surprise. Not only I am not nearly as active as some months ago, but the new rules for the RD status are quite stricter than before.

Anyway, I've always been recognized by those who in the end really matter: the DS community.

Once again, the Galaxy branding takes another hit. Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini! What a mouthful! 4" is mini? I wonder what that makes the DS screen now! Specs seem to be on par with the Galaxy S2, minus the 5mp camera instead of 8mp.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
This is what you call 'not as active'? You do a great job and are truly appreciated as your ROMs have always been by far the most stable around. Maybe the committee were just waiting for the same thing as half of us guys - an update to Reaper ;)

Oops! Indeed I am!

With the Mini, the benefit I see out of it is the WVGA screen so TouchWiz UX can hopefully be ported to us without any resizing needed, like our S3 ported ROMs.

I guess I'm quite far behind! Just saw this topic popping up a lot, glad to see Samsung are aware of the unsatisfied customers and hopefully they'll do something!

Apex or Nova, that is the question?!?

have always used Apex Pro but couldn't resist Nova Prime when it was 25p and now can't decide between the two.

Especially since Nova imported all the Apex settings and layout, very clever

Sywepd form my DsereiS
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Apex on my phone, Nova on N7 :p I prefer Apex on my phone because it has an option to disable app drawer button vibration (hate that). Also, I can enable infinite scroll in app drawer. Since there is no vibration on the N7, I use Nova since it has a better layout in Phablet mode, bigger widgets, better drawer margins etc. Apart from that, the two are exactly the same. No difference in speed, all features are alike, both have custom theme support, though Apex has a few extra customization, which are very small tweaks that barely make a difference :p

I switched my old SD card to the DS, and found a lot of the old Gingerbread ROMs I downloaded a long time ago, and decided to take a trip down the memory lane :)

Still on stock ICS at the moment. Can't really see me moving a to another Sammy based ROM. I would only switch to a AOSP build, but right now I'm enjoying TouchWiz.

Was thinking of rooting and installing siyah kernel, but i gave decided to wait for the JB update. I hope it comes soon. I reckon mid-November.

For ICS and JB, unfortunately there are no fully functional AOSP style ROMs.

@oly

You should try rr 2.7 with siyah. I you won't regret it! IMO TouchWiz on the s2 socks, using aosp or aokp roms with either apex or nova is unbeatable!

Btw when did you get your s2? I remember I made the jump, as you now have. I good to see some familiar names on the s2 forums now

Yes, I guess putting AOSP on it will essentially make it a GN, as it has very similar specs, bar the screen.

Can you post a link to RR please? I actually can't even find it!

I get too confused by original development and android development sub forums... Which is is for which?!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Search for resurrection remix ;)

If it's the same like at the s3 forum, original development is basically for recoverys, kernels, the base aosp builds (cm, aokp, paranoid,...), maybe ports and framework mods can also be there if they are original enough. Development is for modified stock or modified aosp roms, kernels which are mainly build with commits of kernels in the original section and everything else. Unfortunately the borders between the two sections are sometimes pretty blury.

Hello guys! I need to reply about sound blackout problem on jb roms. Sorry, but I can`t post to dev thread because i have not enough messages:( I not used to post about bugs and problems, but I`m trying every jb rom in past month and always have the same problem - no sound in calls, and no sound after. Many users have it, but as I can see for them it`s happen randomly. I have it always. I flash new rom, try to make a call, and no sound. It happens only at roms whith andromadus kernel 3, I was using nk111 builds with gb kernel and they work well. Today he released new build with kernel 3 and again sound blackout after first try. If I can somehow help to recognise what causing this problem please tell me what I should do. And sorry for my bad english.

@Ben,

Yeah, I really, really like the One X, but I am rather concerned by the number of problems being reported on the forum. I think I will just have to wait a while to see if HTC rectify them before taking the plunge (and just hope the Samsung Galaxy S-III is really rubbish when it's released).

I am amazed by how the screen feels though. When I got the DS a year ago the screen seemed huge as it was the first smart-phone I'd had. Now it actually feels quite small.

Something to read : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25407373&postcount=19

Sometimes I wonder - do they actually want to sell their phones or not??

Was a very loyal HTC customer, have persuaded at least 25 differnt people to buy HTC handsets. No more - just because you make good devices doesn't mean you muck around with crappy policies, and still get away with it. For once, I've decided to dump HTC and go for the SGS3, whatever it turns out to be. Been debating this with myself over the last couple of days. One year since I had this device - was time to upgrade anyway... I can live with vanilla ICS - something that was an issue on GB with me. HTC Sense is the one thing they had going for them and they let it get to their heads, but thanks to the UI designers at Google, that is slowly being taken out of the equation. The only way HTC is going to notice is when their sales guys get a hard one on their rears - and the only way to do that is to stop buying from them till they man up and accept their mistakes, do away with the security policy crap and come clean with the promises they make. HTC is learning from the wrong corporations - Misrosoft ring a bell?

Sorry for the rant - just wanted to get it off my chest after reading all that toastcfh wrote. Hope they pull their heads out of their assess and listen to the screams. Doesn't take too much to take out a company if the customers go rogue. HTC still haven't learnt anything from their losses in the last financial year, or from Samsung's runaway success...

Peace. :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, a week ago I would have advised you against getting an SGS3, but now, i think my opinion has changed. HTC, for some reason, provides absolutely no support to the dev community. Samsung on the other hand go crazy. Unlocked (not unlockable, UNLOCKED) bootloaders, providing devices to the CM team, hiring Cyanogen himself, quick updates and the best thing - releasing kernel sources before the device is officially launched (read that once, can't find a link though).

The other thing is that - under immense pressure of having the 2011 device of the year, competition from the One X and the will to screw the living hell outta the iPhone, Samsung HAS to deliver. The Galaxy S3 will probably be the face of android for the next six months. It'll be the device that everyone will think of when they hear "Android". Tech sites will go crazy reviewing it. Apple fanboys will pee their pants when they see a friend with an S3. If samsung fails to deliver, then HTC One X will keep it's throne, and Samsung will incur heavy losses and mockery from everyone. I don't think samsung will let that happen. After all, they seem to have become the no. 1 mobile manufacturer ;)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Thanks for posting that and the link to the original thread. That has probably just made up my mind for me - my next device will probably have to be the SGS-III. I really wanted the One-X, but the issues they are having with it, and now this as well fairly much rules that out.

It'll be a shame when it happens as the devs here, and most of you guys, have been great over the past year or so.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I can only second this. I won't be getting the SGS3, as the price will be too dear, but I'm looking towards the Galaxy Nexus. Even though it is old, it will still be the first device with the Jellybean update. The price would be good too, come August. I'm fed up of waiting for HTC to update. They certainly aren't as dev friendly as Samsung are.

I loved Sense, one of the reasons I bought this phone. But now I think AOSP has reached a stage where it is almost as good as Sense in terms of functionality. And there will be updates first. There will still be things from Sense that are unbeatable (particularly the fast boot feature and camera app,) but I guess I'll get used without them on a brand new device. I'm still yet to try out the One series in person, so I cannot comment on the One S (which is the alternate choice to the Galaxy Nexus) But from what I hear, the screen isn't so good. In fact, it'll be technically worse than the Sensation, as it's pentile or RBG (not sure which is which) which means less subpixels, therefore less pixel density.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, i'm probably stuck with the desire s for the next two years, if i get a new device, i'll probably mess up the tons of exams i have. But at $399, the Galaxy Nexus is a hell of a device. Thats even cheaper than what i paid or my Desire S :eek: . Shame that offer is for USA only........

Yeah, that's the reason why I want it! Come August, the price here whoudl be even lower than that.

This time last year I wanted the Desire S very badly. I remember checking new reviews, and envied the device so much. I waited all the way till July/August when there were some pretty good price drops. I check HUKD daily for the best mobile deals. Finally I got the Desire after a pretty amazing contract.

My contracts up at the start of August, so I'm gonna start looking out for deals now

You probably won't see any familiar HTC devs, every single one of them is cooking for the One X. LeeDroid, Baadnewz, Virtuous Team, Mike1986, j4n87 and many more. It already has a CM9 build :eek: I'm sure the SGS3 will have more development than the one X, but you'll need time to get used to samsung forums, almost all of them are a mess........ Spent an hour looking for a good ROM for the Galaxy Ace, found nothing. They were either themed roms, or deleted due to violation of some rule. A friend told me that he prefers the stock ROM on his S2, just uses a custom kernel (samsung definitely beats htc in the kernel area)

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I just hope the SGS-III comes in at a semi-sensible price. I'm fully expecting to have to fork out a lump up front as well as a high monthly contract, but I want a high-end phone this time and the only other one in the frame is the Sony Experia S (which just doesn't quite feel right in the hand despite looking gorgeous from the front).

The Nexus S isn't even in the same class - I don't see any point in changing for something with the same screen resolution, albeit on a marginally larger display, a single-core processor and only 16Gb internal storage.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
If indeed i get the SGS3, I won't be needing any development on a gazillion ROMs anyway shrome... See, the thing with HTC is that they have Sense...and that too different versions of Sense... hence the different ROMs. But eventually it boils down to 2 or 3 that are the best (by ALL standards) See for example our device - everyone uses either Endymion (Sense) or Reaper (CM7) on GB and as far as ICS is concerned, it will either be one of the One V ports or the Sense 3.6 ROMs (Sense) and AOSP or AOKP (Vanilla), add a couple if you may want to... MIUI for example... So the choice is not very difficult (practically speaking)

In case of samsung, I abhor Touchwiz anyway, so all I'll want is an AOSP ROM like AOSP or AOKP... and with kernels galore, it's enough to play around with. CM9 will come right from source... then there is MIUI, two very strongly backed OS streams, which are all that I'll need. Looking at my history, I;ve tried almost all ROMs, but only stuck to Sense ROMs, namely Hyperion and Endymion. With that choice taken away, it'll be AOSP/AOKP ICS for me, which in itself is a very good choice... So i'm all for it. Enough of this waiting on the sidelines for the updates. HTC needs to be slapped in the face... I'm only one user, but thanks to me 25 others will feel the same way soon... and there are numerous others who think the same. It's a chain reaction buddy... starts with a single atom undergoing fission... it has to start somewhere. I'm doing what I can to oppose this crappy policy. This is the kind of attitude that made me stay away from Apple iOS and Microsoft/Nokia WP7... I'll be damned if I bend over and take it up the a** for HTC.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I think you might be confusing the Nexus S with the Galaxy Nexus? ;)

The Nexus S is last generation of phones. the Galaxy Nexus is the successor with ICS pre-installed and Jellybean upgradeable, with a gorgeous Super AMOLED 720p display (although not as good as the One X's) It also has a dual core chip, and plenty of RAM. Of course the downside is no expandable storage, but I think this is the future for Android now, and 16GB is enough for me! (I only use a 8GB in my phone)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
@ Oly,

Yeah, yeah - told you I was getting (and feeling) old. I obviously haven't put my brain into gear fully yet - thenk God none of my customers noticed that today :eek:

Not a bad looking spec now I'm looking at the right phone, but still not sure it's what I want to go for. I only have an 8Gb card in my DS right now, but I love the option of putting 32Gb in there when I'm going away for a few days and want music or films with me.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
TBH, TouchWiz isn't as bad as it's made out to be ;)

Seriously, it offers all the functionality that Sense does, but not in a pretty way (the graphocs are too cartoony etc) But the apps on offer are near the same standard of functionality of Sense (e.g - weather, calculator etc)

Also, it's much faster than default Sense UI. One of the main reasons the SGS2 outsold the Sensation. The UI is 60fps smooth - even on the stock ROM. On Sense 3.0 on the Sensation, we had to use hamdir's patch etc. An average buyer will compare the two, and see the SGS2 is much smoother and will assume it's the better/faster phone.

The browser on TouchWiz is a dream to use to. Much much smoother compared to Sense. Simply watch a video, the SGS2 broswe is EVEN smoother thean the One X's. Samsung really have worked magic into the browser. I'd say it is AS good as the iPad/iPhone in smoothness.
