[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Just joined the forum, and hit the same roadblock of the ten post rule.

Ive been using Android for about a month, prior to that I had spent a fair bit of time researching which model to get, what mods were available etc, and spent a fair bit of time browsing this forum a research.

Eventually bought one a month ago, spent the next month reading this forum for ideas, advice etc, and then moved the Cryanogen mod (7.2).

Decided to join the forum, mainly because I initially just wanted to make a single post in the cryanogen mod thanking them for the great work they do, but also ask a couple of small questions that I had been unable to find the answers to despite extensive use of the search feature (I run my own forum so I know how annoying it is to get asked the same question over and over, but I also joined the forum because it isnt one of those places where if you ask a noob question, you just get told to use the search feature and branded a noob).

Then I got walloped by the ten post feature. So off I wandered to the general forum to find ten things to post about. The trouble is, the general forum is a bit of a tumbleweed zone, there isnt exactly much to post about. And half the threads that I would have posted in are closed. The advice is answer some questions, but as someone new to android there are not a lot of questions I know the answers to, or have strong opinions on as most of my knowledge has come from here (that said, I am tech savvy, and have succesfully managed to have my galaxy rooted, running Cryanogen, operating with about 40% free ram most of the time and 100mb of 180mb internal space free, so im not a total noob).

So what am I to do, wander the general forum making aimless posts purely for the sake of getting up to ten posts so I can post in the dev section, or just give up and not bother posting here.

its a bit daft. There are plenty of other ways of checking out new members. Put their first ten posts on approval only so they have to be approved by a moderator before appearing on the site (pretty common on a lot of forums), reduce the number of posts so they dont have to make quite so many. Have more general forums so its easier to actually make ten posts without resorting to posting for the sake of it.

I appreciate some sort of measures need to be put in place, its a large forum and obviously you will get spammers, but the extreme measures do nothing to encourage new, genuine members, to get involved in the community.

Post in the CM9 discussion thread. No need for anyone who isn't a dev to be posting in the CM9 dev thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Having read some of the dev threads, I fail to see how in certain ones a new poster could possibly bring down the quality any further, my only assumption is that a small percentage of posters made an effort with their first ten posts and then handed their account over to their 7 year old sister.

Hmm, theres a potential money earner, write peoples first ten posts on the forum for them :D

Hope its five minutes since my last post.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Basic problem is that a large number of new users do not want the bother of learning they want you somebody anybody to do it all for them.

Many of the stupid post in Dev threads are repetitive .

How do i flash this answer read the instructions moron .

Can i have xxxx theme on this rom i saw on IPhone .

Due to the nature of an open forum and even ten post rule does not eliminate the stupid a number of devs no longer post their roms for this reason .Same goes for a lot of the expirinced users they just give up after being asked for the thousandth time how do i rot and custome my phone .

Personally i would do away with the 10 post rule and replace it with an intelligence test .

You said you simply wanted to post thanks or whatever to the CM9 team & to ask a few questions. Again, does not belong in the dev thread. This is why we have the CM9 discussion thread in General.

Knock yourself out, nothing stopping you posting what you want(ed) to post in that thread.

A 100 hours logged on rule before posting would be great. Cheating avoided by having a minimum 5 minutes before auto logout if F5 isn't pressed.

Some kind of Taser device to give a short sharp shock for every "how do I rute mai fone lolz" post would be nice too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Well that kept me quiet for about twenty minutes trying to find that :D

i found the Cm7 thread in Galaxy Ace general, but that doesnt seem very interesting.. I have wandered general discussion> general aimlessly for a while.. General > Upgrading and modifying showed promise but appeared to be mainly people who have bricked their phones (just how do you go about bricking a phone if you follow the instructions to the letter), I appear to be lost somewhere in the middle of the forum maze.

If this place closes at night can someone come find me before you lock up. I dont want to be here overnight.

LOL whut? Why are you looking in the Galaxy Ace forum?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imperiale:
^LOL.

It's not that difficult to make 10 useful posts... after all the stuff I learnt by going on here before I signed up, it was fun to be helping (or at least trying to help) someone else out for a change.

Oh, i found that one no problem at all, but i didnt really want to be a total noob and drag it off topic by talking about CM 7.2 on my Ace :D

So you're posting in the galaxy s2 q&a forum to ***** about the 10 post rule? Nice. I assumed you had a gs2 since you were posting here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
*insert relevant facepalm smiley here*

Doh.. my bad.. Its the only thread I could find about the ten post rule. I did a forum search and didnt pay particular attention to the forum section :D

Typical noob :rolleyes:

(*****ings a bit harsh though, i wasnt *****ing, just offering my opinion. Maybe this place is not for me).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Let's not get into a semantic argument about the definition of "*****ing"... (which is to complain, which you were doing) But this should probably be a good lesson for you. It is good to pay attention to what forum you are in. Lest you flash something meant for another device. (which won't end well)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Maybe this thread should be in general, its a bit unfair that you can only ***** if you own a certain phone

I see how it is round here, Galaxy S owners rule the roost :D I never was in the in crowd.. Everyone else had Nokias while i was muddling along with my Phillips Savvy :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Not what I was saying. What I was attempting to stress was the importance of paying attention to what device's forum you are in.

The issue with the 10 post minimum is an imperfect solution at best to keep the development forums free of clutter like questions, people just posting "thanks", and the like.

Development forums should be for development related topics and releases of development.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Sorry. I was joking. I did add sarcasm to my sign but it didn't appear

I've been wondering the same thing and am also hooked on the resurrection remix from thread... I can see why the rule is there as if I could post in that topic I'd be up to about 100 posts now from saying "read the FAQ"

Jesus, you read my mind. I agree with you 100 percent. I read and read and read lonnnnnng before I ever even thought about making any post or thread on xda.. I wish more people followed suit.

There was a post in the CM9 in General dicussion, one user stated he didn't even know how to root his galaxy s2 yet he wanted to install CM9 on his phone.. like come on man, I think these people should seriously test out the stock firmware before making any changes. These people who have no idea how to use terminal or adb... they are the ones who brick their phones then ***** at the developers claiming they make ****ty software... boggles my mind.

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on the three network. If I flash the H3G 2.3.3 firmware to the device using Odin will the OTAs still work? If not is there a way to flash the standard firmware back and have the updates working as normal?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you flash stock firmware for your region, you should be able to get updates OTA again. In saying that, I've seen more than a few cases where this hasn't been the case (Why ? No idea. Never happened to me/not important to me as I don't use stock firmware so I've never delved into the why).

So you can flash stock firmware, see if you can get OTA updates.

If not, might as well take the easy course & flash your stock firmware updates via Odin (like many people) rather than spend potentially who knows how much time trying to find out why OTA won't work in spite of you going back to stock
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arranstobbs:
It works for kies and OTA

I downloaded the original 2.3.3 and flashed it to my Samsung Galaxy S2 and the OTA updates worked up to firmware 2.3.5 and then I plugged into kies and it updated to 4.0.3. I used this site http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=-1#modelsa

Thanks for the help guys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RostokMcSpoons:
Hi,

Last night I finally got the upgrade for ICS (sim-unlocked)

This morning I played some music and found UberMusic was ok except the artist pics on the Now Playing screen were wrong. I re-installed the app, and this fixed that problem, but now none of the home screen widgets work properly. The buttons will highlight when touched, but don't actually operate.

(Full screen operation does work properly though)

I've tried another re-install but it's not helped. I've tried using different launchers, including the developer's own LauncherPro, but they all have the same problem.

Has anyone else found the same problem, and found a fix?

I understand the developer (Federico Carnales) doesn't support his apps once they've been released, which is a pretty *****y way to go, but I have to say I haven't found anything better in look-and-feel (InstaMusic has horrid scrolling, PowerAmp not as clean and elegant)

Any suggestions of good alternative players, preferably with a similar Metro style and nice selection of different sized widgets would be welcome!

(Edit: As my post has been moved to the Q & A thread, I should add I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2, connected to O2 but unbranded)

Edit2: Well, blow me down with a spoon, it's only working again! I don't know whether it's the action of trying different music players, or switching temporarily back to TouchWiz, but the widgets work again. Yippee :)

Whilst you're reading this I might as well pass on my related experience: I've had a couple of irritating problems - a lot of my cover art has disappeared, and some of my albums have been split into two parts. Well, the cover art problem is fixable with Cover Art Downloader, and using MP3TagEdit on my pc in extremis... and the splitting of the albums? That occurred because some of the tracks had an 'album artist' set whilst others didn't. So blanking all those fixed it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
I hope the ubermusic developer will update it for ICS. The Bluetooth headphone play and pause buttons doesn't work. The rewind, forward, volume buttons works. Presently I need to play and pause directly using the app, and not the BT headphone button, it is a bit annoying. But I can live with it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatperson:
The ubermusic developer (the same guy who created Launcher Pro) has been quiet for quite a long time now. Doubt he is actually going to update any of his apps.

[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
this ROM is a KICKASS ROM !! it is lean & mean.

still learning about the launcher, there is no way to customize it (that I can find) anyone know where all that is???????

KICKASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

yeah, the launcher is very tres cool but i think still has some issues, i'm showing double microphones in the search bar, for example, and going through the original thread about it , linked in the OP, there is some confusion....still reading that thread though.

also, i couldn't get gapps to flash, tried 2x.
[LG Nitro HD] bidi1985:
Love this rom, can't Waite for your minor fixes and customizations.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Andasa, if you'd put a paypal link in your op, i'll send a donation over.

[LG Nitro HD] lilbluemirage:
How's the battery life? or any "save battery" tweaks? The only reason I'm not on CM9 atm is the bad experience I had w/ the battery life when it first came out.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
That's strange mirage, I found my battery was way better after I flashed the first nightly!

Im very excited to see another dev coming to our device, welcome to the party Andasa!
[LG Nitro HD] LGSU640:
Thanks，good job.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
Gapps are already in the ROM.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
I checked out the thread for this motorola launcher. Seems to be the major difference between CM9. What makes it so special? I couldn't see much that makes it better than apex.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
i read the OP and understand that, thus my comment that the gapps did not flash with the ROM as per the original instructions.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

just reflashed the op ROM after wiping data and such & reconfirming my earlier helpful comment that gapps is not fully included in the rom.

it is missing

maps

search

youtube

street view

not a big deal, easily installed from the store, just trying to give the op some feedback, although i wonder where he went!
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
None of those apps (besides Search) are part of the standard CM9 gapps package either.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
the one i downloaded had them (the link in the huge cm9 thread). as well as the wiki page gapps link and rom manager pro's gapps does as well. ;)

anywhoo, not sure why this needs to be continually pointed out to me, i simply commented about gapps in an earlier post, it wasn't a big deal then and it's not now.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

cyanogenmod recommends v11 gapps for cm9, v11 includes

calendar

facelock

gallerygoogle

contacts

services framework

talk

voice search

youtube

etc., et al.

hope this clears up the confusion on which gapps for cm9
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Anyone using this ROM? How is it compared to stock CM9? Speed? Battery life? Also, if I'm coming from CM9 what do I have to wipe?
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
@scott0,

Actually the gapps that is generally recommended is the latest found here.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
again, that is the link provided in the cm9 thread and in that link is the March 17 ICS gapps zip which is v11, the v i referenced above.

perhaps if y'all let me know what your point is in making this an issue with me i can get a better idea of what it is you are trying to achieve here. otherwise i am unsure as to why my non-essential comment re: install is being picked apart.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
The only point I was trying to make was that the 03/17 gapps, as far as I can tell from Googling, is *not* the same as gapps v11 because the only threads I see that talk about gapps v11 are from January and February. Now since I'm at work and can't download v11 and 3/17 to compare the two packages, I can't speak to whether or not your v11 .zip that you are using has more of the Google apps than the *latest* which is 03/17. This is really kind of a silly discussion.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
that's MY point. not sure why my general comment about it was highlighted by some of y'all and taken to task.

Y'all have a good weekend and feel free to bring this thread back around to the actual topic- the slim ROM. :)
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
I'm just trying to clear it up for you (and anyone else). No one is making it an "issue".

The "v11" package is old, from January. If some sources still recommend to use them, it is because those sources have not been updated to recommend the newer ones available. The latest gapps package is from March (gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip), which is the one used in this ROM (it says so right in the first post). The two packages are not the same.

Hey, question, how should we handle the new cm9 nightlies and keep running your ROM? will you be updating yours every so often with the most current cm9?

:)
[LG Nitro HD] Andasa:
I'll try to update once - twice a week, depending on progress in CM9.

Thanks , you are great. now you VIP member.:D
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
thanks for the update!

I get a pop-up message right after boot-- "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."

i hit OK and it goes away, comes back again, i hit OK and it stays away until the next boot-up.

:-)
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Interested in an Andasa custom kernal with OC and undervolt! :D
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
@scott0,

This is conjecture, of course, but, based on the conversation before, it might be because you're using gapps v11 and you're using a version that is old as **** :P

As we said before, v11 isn't the same as 3/17.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
thanks for the feedback. the message pops with 3/17 gapps as well, i actually flashed it prior to my post to see if it would clear the message.

so you (no one/anyone?) are not getting the pop-up message on boot?
[LG Nitro HD] 8mileroad:
Not sure if it's possible, but is there a chance of getting LG's Optimus UI for ICS on this? It is actually pretty good. Miles ahead of gb.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
sooooooo the gapps issue is due to google having a synch issue with the included browser. I turned off synch that browser and no more issue message. not sure what the prob is but i would wager it has something to do with importing bookmarks from my gmail chrome account
[LG Nitro HD] Andasa:
Also I wanted to say very important to do

format system via CWB

before you install new version/CM9.

If you do not do it - eventually phone battery starts to eat and work a shovel. All your APPS course all DATA saved.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
FYI- the "old as ****" version you are referring to is the one included in the original ROM zip, not sure how you missed that or in fact, how you could derive which "old as ****" version I am/was running.
[LG Nitro HD] aaki_rocker:
can anyone pls tell me what is not working and bugs of this rom !

i may get a nitro hd or vivid ! but coz of the development available for vivid, i am slightly inclined towards it !

it this rom is pretty good for daily usage, i'll definately get the nitro ! :D

what i would consider in this rom

gaming performance

video playback

camera/camcorder

any other issues/bugs !

pls reply...

thanks.. :)
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
i don't have any experience with the vivid but i wouldn't hesitate to recommend a nitro to someone looking for a powerful smart phone.

i like this ROM a lot, as mentioned, and switch daily b/w it and the cm9 latest nightly, they both handle games fine, i play mostly temple run, table tennis & chess so nothing crazy graphic intense.

the camera works fine but it is not fully dialed in yet in cm9, but it is quicker than stock and takes perfectly fine photos and video.

i playback a lot of netflix and youtube on this ROM and they stream very well.

[LG Nitro HD] chrisrotolo:
couple quick questions guys.. is there anything major not working??

i found changelogs, but no real working/not working list.

Do I need to factory reset? or is this done automatically on install?

Last question, does the phone have option to keep screen on during call? DOes it actually work? This is the main reason I'm jumping in early, because screen blacks out and wont come on.

Thanks so much everyone.

Andasa,

thanks for v 0.6, nice works! hey, i _think_ i notice a change wit the bass and the beats but i don't see an app or .apk or anything.

hey guy, last 2 posts, i don't think it's necessary to clear data/factory reset BUT

BUT

BUT BUT BUT

do a nandroid backup of your current setup & imo it never hurts to clear data and install a fresh ROM, especially these sorts of cutting edge operating systems. imo.
