Yes, the auto brightness won't work due to lack of hardware Support. And I've tried the auto brightness setting on my friend's phone (I forgot the model) and its actually... very annoying to me.
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
Can someone point me to the tried and true method for changing the splash screen and boot animation in ICS? I've seen a lot of forums with different methods and people stating that they've had different results. Is there one tried and true method?

I'm currently using ARHD and the stock white image and animation that comes with it is terribly bright/annoying and probably a huge battery drain whenever I reboot. I'd prefer something like the black ones that come with Insert Coin.
[Acer Iconia A500] woodsonmh:
I started noticing the slow browser problems when I loaded leaked ics. I finally downloaded a program called Watchdog Lite. It keeps track of cpu usage and will beep if a program uses to much for to long. What I began to notice is that some programs just don't go to sleep when you exit them, and the browsers are culprits. Pulse is another program that can keep cpu busy long after I stopped using it. One program that is really bad at times is our own XDA android program. The other night an hour after I stopped using the program it was still using around 50 percent of cpu time. Go figure, there is nothing going on with this program that should take that much cpu at any time. Maybe search or something. I discovered this because watchdog kept beeping.

This is not just on the acer. I have the same problem with my asus prime. Maybe that's why asus provides a task manager with shut down widget. Watchdog will also let you shut down programs.

I don't know if this happens in HC because I did not start checking this until ICS came along.

I'm fairly aggressive at killing programs, particularly those I know that give me problems. If tablet seems to be slow check to see if something is grabbing the cpu that you are not aware of. Kill it if it's not being used. I wish all programs gave you an exit button. I use it when I can.

After I started killing browser instances, or other cpu hungry apps my browsing is much smoother and quicker.

See the attached image, you can notice the horizontal blank area when I tried to draw vertical lines. Now its very difficult to use the top controls of many apps. Phone had fallen down a few times, but that was months ago. Now suddenly this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Is anyone working on a rooted stock USA ICS ROM (flashable from CWM)? (Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2) From reading around a bit, I don't think I want to do the OTA and end up with the ICS bootloader and then have more extensive mods to do to get back CWM, I'd rather just keep my current setup with CWM and a stock rooted ROM.

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] tako2k:
Me too

... this would be nice, I'm waiting too.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
You will want the ICS bootloader. ICS runs alot better with it and alot of the glitches in the leaks were caused by the HC bootloader. In order to get the ICS bootloader you will have to jump through all the hoops. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zenlord77:
hi there..:)

just a noob question, will there be a miui roms for tab 7+ P6200? since i thought those roms are awesome..:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] [David]:
Heeeeeeeeee hehe it should be AMAZING you're right :) I personally guess it shouldn't be too hard to build, but we have few devs right now and aorth is already working on the CM9 which supposed to be wonderful too.

I read once talking about the P6200 MIUI in its Italian channel on nexuslab but I think we're still far away from it

Let's hope dude :D I'd just like it too on my own p6200

Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
In order to properly have MIUI, we must have CM9 first. Why? MIUI is based off of CM.

That being said, once we have CM9 fully (or close to) being a Daily Driver, someone can easily port over MIUI using a lot of the CM9 components and merging them with MIUI bits.

Atleast that's how it happened on my Epic 4G :p
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kzoodroid:
CM and MIUI are both AOSP ROMs and you need an AOSP kernel in order to get them to work properly. You could get it ported over right now but nothing would work, same as with the CM9 builds we already have, so really I see no point in doing it except as a proof of concept or work in progress type ROM. The few devs we have are all working hard on CM9 but it's slow going without having all the needed hardware drivers that Samsung won't release. Once that is done MIUI won't be far behind.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gingerboy92:
we have very few developers for now, and there are some major issues such as the wireless.. until that issues are resolved, i don't think we want to split tasks or add more task for the developers. We need at least one working custom kernel first for use as a basis. That is a much higher priority now.
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
Ok, now didn't see a thread started like this but thought it would be kind of cool to have a general chit chat about anything EVO 3d that involves 3d users.

IE: about to hop on ps3, any one game? person comes on and says they are, sooner or later you will start chatting about tech and well I would assume that would work in everyone's favor? So giving it a shot and gonna see what happens :)

\Well to start off, about to sign on to ps3 / actually have it tethered to my 3D and does well and if anyone would like a good game / convo, well its all in the same place :)

Z

side note: my ps3 name is the same as on here...
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
What do you play on ps3? I'd be up for it if you play Battlefield :P
[HTC EVO 3D] strykerider:
No service of ps3 at my country since it's been blocked, i prefer to play a game like that on my pc.. What do you think about call of duty modern warfare 3, eh? :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Never got it, i've always been a battlefield fan and only played Blackops for zombies :p however alot of my mates said that MW3 wasnt great
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I stopped playing the mw series at least for multiplayer.... They all are 95% the same game....
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
This lol weapons n perk changes that's about it
[HTC EVO 3D] strykerider:
I don't think so, mate...

It's been called as a most anticipated game of the year.. It has a good plot.. I played all of the series of modern warfare.. And the story is awesome.. I also played battlefield too, when i compare it, I think the graphics gaming of battlefield is not good enough as mw 1, mw 2, or mw 3.. :D

Btw, just my opinion.. No offense at all.. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
when i compare, I think the graphics gaming of battlefield is not good enough as mw 1, mw 2, or mw 3

Are you saying battlefield has worse graphics than mw3?

Sorry buddy, idk what potato you're playing these games on, but mw3's graphics are **** compared to bf3. MW3 looks like it's stuck in 2006 with those graphics...

I understand it's just your opinion.. but... howw....
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
This!? i mean COD games look the same and are no where as near as good as the graphics of bf3?!
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah they really do.... Mw1, mw2, black ops, waw, mw3... All looks the same just different weapons, character models and maps....
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
That's why I gave up on cod, straight halo and bf3 for me, I know halo is totally off base as a "legit, hardcore" fps but oh well I love the game lol.

Mw and especially cod 2-3, remember those, we're the same exact game, mw4 was different but it was competing with rainbow six Vegas (best shooter of the time in my not so humble honest opinion) so it wasn't groundbreaking. They innovate nothing and are making millions off it, madden of fps series lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I like halo a lot especially halo 3 true ranking system.

Imo halo multiplayer is much better than battlefield or cod...
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
My halo 3 disk is messed up so I have reach which was mediocre, but still satisfies my needs
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Personally I wish the amount of fps would get cut in half seems like there is to many and new ones every year I want some quality games with a good story that takes longer then a week to beat all new games take little time to complete outside of a very small handful.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Haha well if you don't mind the quality shooter part, and the fact that it's 3rd person most of the time, mass effect is your answer
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
This is true... While the halo series was doing it with halo 1,2 and 3..343/bungie started to milk the franchise with a new halo branded game every year.... And then you have the cod series.... New game every year in November... With a good story... But just the same damn game...

I agree on mass effect... It is a great game.
[HTC EVO 3D] MorePAIN:
Love it. Love my evo 3d more now that it's rooted
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
That game will take longer then a week if so ill deff get it then lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Well there's 3 games in the series, I got a late start on it so I bought 1 and 2 for 40 dollars total and ill buy 3 after I finish. It's a pretty amazing game I must say, extremely immersive
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Cool cool do you know if one and two are on the ps3
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Think 2 is, I think 1 was an xbox exclusive, not positive about that tho, cool part about the game is your character can be brought through all 3 games keeping your character improvements. It's an rpg/3ps
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Yeah was windows and 360 only for the first one then decided to do second and third for ps3 lol kind of dumb would think they would have a ported number one over before making the second one for the ps3
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Ports are a pain and MS might have paid them to keep it exclusive
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I have mass effect 1 and 2 on the Xbox its definitely worth getting an xbox.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
I hate xbox their UI is aweful imo and their controllers are big bulky and have to much going on ps3 ftw
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
If you have midget hands ps3 controllers are ok... Thumbsticks running into each other isn't cool
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Lol no my hands are normal for my.build I'm 6ft2 but yeah. I never have problems w the joysticks lol. Idk iv been a ps person since the ps1 I had it the first Christmas they started coming out and have loved them sense. Even if you don't look at size to many buttons and I don't care for the layout besides ps3 does bluray and 3d whats xbox do play games music dvds n stream? And have to pay for live I'm good.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
I had ps1 and 2 and I had problems with my thumbs running into eachother on the Thumbsticks, I like the layout of the 360 controller, they really need a better dpad tho, and as far as live, I'm OK with paying for a superior service
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
What is superior about it I mean what's so special that they do...
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Nothing superior other than game selection (personal prefrence), live and the controller. Honestly ill admit the ps3 is a much better hardware console
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
It may be better hardware wise but I've yet to see a game that uses its hardware to its full potential... And it's already almost eol... Ah well I like the Xbox controller for shooters and I agree the playstation middle thumb sticks are horrible plus the fake trigger buttons suck.... But I have to say.... Free online play.... Can't beat that.... But I still like live better....
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
What are you talking about eol lol has plenty of life. New xbox will be out before ps4 and there is a handful that takes advantage of its hw portal 2 mgs n I know a cpl more just can't think atm been up to long today n got to go to work soon
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Nah the ps3 can do much more especially with its own cpu but not as much with its gpu... I'm sure that the games will continue to develop for the ps3 even if the ps4 is out.... But once next gen consoles are out... To me last gen is eol :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Yeah I agree lol it will become a kiddy system like ps2 did.
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Killzone 2/3, Uncharted (all) , GT5, to name a few of the games that take almost full potential of the PS3....

I'll add Crysis & Heavy Rain in there, the graphics in the latter are crazy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyz:
I have a noob question:

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my gsm nexus. However I would like to be able to receive and install any updates OTA- basically stay as stock as possible with root. My plan was to leave the stock recovery in place. If I need to do a backup or reflash su.zip (after an update to regain root) I was planning on running rom manager and using it to flash CWM. I realize that this CWM would not survive a reboot as the startup script will reflash the stock recovery.

Will this work and does it make sense?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyz:
quick bump- basically I want to know what will prevent an OTA update from installing

Edit I realized there was a flaw in my logic. After an OTA update I will lose root and then be unable to flash the recovery via rom manager. I guess will have to resort to fastboot after OTA

Well 1st there is no Tune-in Radio......and now it looks like my YouTube subscriptions from foreign countries are not showing up, it shows that i have 1 subscription, when open folder i see 2, and in reality on youtube.com i have 4

also i know there is a fix, but the lack on "settings" button is ridiculous, it doesnt even properly work in Google apps.
[HTC One S] HTCMario:

[HTC One S] pbelcomp:
On my T-Mobile One S, Tune-in Radio is listed in the apps on the phone but is not listed in the app drawer.

However, it does have a widget, which can be added to the home screen.

FM Radio is different that what the OP was talking about.

-------------------

i have noticed this also .. it was there when i first got the phone and after some PLay Store updates now its not listed in the app drawer..personally i havent used the app before and dont really know if i were to root it if i would keep the app since i dont use it but i noticed it was gone the other day..
[HTC One S] djwurm:
same thing happen to me last night when I got my one s

I updated tune in through google play store and the app icon is nowhere to be seen and I cant open it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but did not work.

I use this app everyday on my drive to and from work. I listen to 1310 sports talk radio in Dallas since I was relocated to Houston and I cant go without listening to this station!

I broke down and bought the tune in pro app and it works great and I have an icon.. something is definitely wrong with the included tune in app from T-Mobile..
[HTC One S] ishred11:
Its not on the app drawer because its a widget. If a widget doesn't have settings it doesn't have a icon in app drawer. Some app just don't show up on app drawer like homescreen launchers. It's installed, but you can't get to It.
[HTC One S] ishred11:
With the YouTube. Its not the phone I believe. Its YouTube servers. I has happen before. If you like on tgr comments on the YouTube app you may see everyone is having the same problem. That is was it could be. But then again you never know.
[HTC One S] kolyan:
Its not a widget, Tune-In Radio is an app. Tmobile screwed up launcher settings. Work around it to use Nova or Apex launchers, they both work great.

Thanks.....maybe its ICS issue. All my subscriptions work fine on GB G2x
[HTC One S] mondegreen:
Same problem here. I don't care much because the only reason I discovered it was clearing off photos before returning my phone. Disappointed, crossing fingers better luck with Galaxy S III.

Well hello bigger forums :D I came from the Ace family and I have plans on buying SII. I've heard good rumours about the phone and I've seen lots of interesting roms for it too (plus it's on main forum XD)

My options are HTC One X, GNote or SII and SII is quite leading in my eyes ATM.

Last question is, what is the price of SII in the US WITHOUT the contract?

Thanks for the responses guys, hope to see you soon :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkajunk:
S24Lyfe

it depends on whether you're looking for an unlocked phone (being able to use any network) or if you wish to purchase it outright from your current service provider.

Unlocked it's about $500-600, and prices will range depending on your carrier if you want to go for option number 2.

I personally own the S2 and I can honestly say I love this phone.

Took less than 5 minutes to root, plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of custom roms being developed for it, and the hardware itself is just great (it outperforms the iPhone 4s) - I highly recommend it.

Just my two cents.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
S2 is still a beast when compared to other mobiles you have mentioned with the exception of HD screen. If you like bigger screens and feel compact to use it go for note, else s2 with its amoled is what you need :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
SGS2 is still a good phone. I had it for just over 10 months and loved it.

Got a HOX now and love that just as much. HOX has the HD screen which is lovely. SLCD2 vs AMOLED. Amoled has better blacks and such but I like the SLCD2 as well. Whites are better and not prone to screen burns.

Hardware wise both are beasts. Dual Core vs Quad Teg 3. DC is still fast enough not enough optimising quad at the moment. With TEG3 you get the range of Nvidia games without the need for Chainfire.

Design wise HOX wins, it's sexy and sleek but the SGS2 is lighter and thinner. Both feel good in the hand.

UI wise, Sense wins for me personally, but TouchWiz is not as bad it has it's own feature set.

If you want the cheaper device go for the SGS2 as price is decent. You'll be happy with any of your choices. The Galaxy range of devices are far easier to root with their unlocked bootloaders if you want to go with custom roms and such and development is very active with HOX it will get active when more devs have it. I'd still rate the Note over the SGS2 as it's a beast, if you can handle the size then definitely get the note.
