ICS vs GB

ICS Pros;

Way smoother and faster. Dialar on GB takes for ever to load and browser crhome not available on GB. Don't get me wrong ICS+ browse is sweet business as well, i actually use instead of chrome mobile do to Chrome's search bar typing lag.

Swipe to dismiss. Dude swiping at different windows on browsers, emails on Gmail, and open apps is piece of cake to do, love it.

Smooth Keyboard. Although not 100% perfect, I prefer it over Swype. The thing just responds so cleanly to finger inputs. I dont like Iphone, but Iphone's keyboard can show us a thing or too. ICS stock KB is really really good.

Data management is great. I can see details as to how much and what is using my bandwidth. This is great since I get 5Gb limit from the devil att.

Those are main things for me, but there is way more smaller things that ICS includes. For now i would suggest Note Worthy V2 beta and give it a try-You can always go back to stock.

Peace...:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
Hey all, I asked this question a while ago but people told me it wasn't possible then so I ask again to see if there has been any change since...

is there an option to disable capacitive button and use ICS on-screen menu and home buttons only?

God I hate those buttons at the bottom... does anyone know if any ICS rom makers were able to do this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] redneck_666:
Under ROM control, in AOKP roms there is an option to do this.

Not sure off its something in Cyanogen roms yet, or of it ever will be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
Hey thanks for the info. Sorry for this dumb question but the ROM you are talking about is out now for i717 already. Is that right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eviltango:
Thank everybody for their comments. So you guys think after we get the official ics we will get an update with all the features the sgs3 has, and such as eye recognition so it won't go to sleep while u look at it, but and speed up the camera to take quicker shots, and etc?

Send from the Noteorious BIG 5.3" Bell Canada
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -aggie-:
I thought ICS had a new cut, copy and paste feature that was more like the iPhone. I can't stand GB's version. Trying to get those markers to line up where you want can be a real pain and then you only get what seems like milli-seconds to pick cut or copy.

I am on Chrack's rom and I update the Franco kernel to version 10 and I lost root. I flash my SGN with the Abyss kernel 4.2 then flash the Chrack's rom again and I have root. However when I update the Franco kernel to version 10 I lost root again. Is this possible? I do not want to try the third time. Thanks for your reply.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsec:
Could it be that you are using the new super su and that does not work with Francos?

If so just try the usual old su and se if you get promted for root.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] FrankyDoodle:
I am searching for a stock rom flashable through cwm or a cwm backup :3.

Reason I ask this is that i cant run odin on my computer and i would like to have a stock rom if my phone needs a trip to the store.

Overall question:

CWM flashable stock (Everything must work)

Europe version (Netherlands if possible)

NOT odin :/

Thanks in advance!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
there is one at the dev section, but wifi isn't working, its a kernel fault..

just flash another kernel after flashing the rom, and it should be fine..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] FrankyDoodle:
Thanks, ima try that :D

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Niceee. Would be great if you could make it, as its nice to have a "backup" rom, as reserve and flashable zip so no need to use odin and pc for that :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] czkwg8:
it is OK to use backup and restore for this ROM because it's works on ext4,you can backup this ROM→Flash CM7/CM9→restore this ROM and it will works well without anything wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Bettter use ext4formatter instead of cm7/cm9, much faster
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Gonedrop:
I registered just to say thanks to czkwg8.

This is by far the best ROM I flashed on a Gio, featuring just an excellent custom kernel on a stock rom with root & tweaks.

I've tried, for Gio:

- CM7 | but it does not support aac, it shows some issues with some codecs as well and other minor problems with radio.

- CM9 | but it does not support, well, any kind of real hardware video acceleration. And there is simply no radio. And some other major issues. I gave a look at the maintainer's github, probably the "imported blobs" and libraries are not compatible. That's all overly disregarded.

The custom kernel works great, and the CW flash is really welcome. If it were for me, heimdall or CW. Odin's way should be deprecated.

That said, please stick this custom rom in this thread somewhere. It's really worthy.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] czkwg8:
Maybe my English is too terrible:p

I means if you backup this ROM first,after Flash CM7/9,if you want to back to stock,you can use recovery to restore the backup and i Will works without any bugs.

So sorry for the bad English.::p

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
I know, but why install cm7/9? Extformatter also formats all partitions to ext4
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] czkwg8:
You're welcome...

---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

Haha....

I only means you can...

This rom is works on ext4

If you flash it,it will format you /system,/data,/cache to ext4 automatic.....:D

google contacts/calendar sync not working?!!!

its
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] czkwg8:
Ahhhh......it seems that i delete these apks incorrectly....:D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
I flashed the flashable zip that has those apk's for adrraline rom, as that rom is lightweight and has them as "addons" and it works now
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
Hey, what zip did you flash? I searched Adrenaline ROM and downloaded the Contact Sync.zip but after flashing the contact sync is still broken.

Also, where can I find the Swype APK? I detest the Samsung keyboard greatly.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
you need to mount system, it is essential cuz the updaterscript is notvconfigured tovdo that, then it should work. also note downloaded contactsync and not calendersync.

for swype, get the latest BETA.

detest, is that an english word? problably taken from french, still remember that from my french lessons.

je deteste le francais lol just kidding
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
Oui, or at least I think so. And yes, it's a word that is used in English. I'm guessing English isn't your first language? :D

(Kidding, I knew that already! ;) )

Anyway, I accidentally downloaded Calendar sync, not contact sync, thanks for pointing that out.

By the way, do you have any idea why my phone's USB port no longer recognizes the connection to the computer? I mean, sure the whole thing got submerged in water for a minute or so (don't ask) but everything else works, that doesn't explain this odd behaviour (it still charges). This would be a lot easier & faster if I didn't have to take out the microSD card, plug it in the SD card adapter, and transfer everything over the slow transfer speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
don't know..

it rained very very hard last night, had to bicycle in there, and my phone was in my pocket..

it was in a leather case, wich was completely wet....

tried to warm it asap as I came home, I whas that wet as when you are showering/swimming, but I still wore my casualclothes, it was 30 celsius that day, pretty good besides from the rain...

but my phone survived atleast, don't know if the USB is also broken now, already got luck with it thats it is still alive.

coca cola, huge rain/water damage, falling from height, what can't it resist? lol im not gonna try out..

about your USB,you could try let them fix it, but they problably don't do it for free..

but shouldn't an SD adapter transfer faster speeds? no connection with phone etc.. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
Nope. You'd think so, but actually, SD card transfer speeds are almost always slower than USB. The connection to the phone doesn't slow it down any because when it connects, it acts as a regular USB Mass Storage device, ie a flash drive. That's why you can't access your apps that are moved to the microSD card when it's plugged in. The phone can also connect via MTP, or media transfer protocol, but I can't remember how to enable that. MTP is how your music players on your computer transfer songs (I think).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iCaptivate:
1. What type of HSPA+ does it support? 14.4, 21, or 42 mbps?

2. Does the GNex work on T-Mobile's monthly 4G plans? That's the no contract plans, basically month to month.

3. Is it basically a pop a SIM in and it should all work?

4. When I flash ROMs, I use this forum http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1339, correct?

5. Will the ROMs have any affect on the phone's connection or anything to mess it up from T-Mobile? I only ask because the phone is not tailor made for T Mobile so maybe a ROM could throw it off.

Thank you, guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
1- 21

2- yes, I have monthly 4g and G-Nex.

3- yes the phone is unlocked Pentaband. If you have a valid Sim card, it should work.

4- I honestly didn't look at the forum you linked to, but sure. You go to the Android development section and find roms there.

5- off course a ROM could affect your functionality. Read the thread before you flash. Not all roms run 100%. Most will have known bugs listed in the description of the thread. If you have an issue you don't like, flash a new ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uoY_redruM:
1. It supports up to HSPA +21 (in Casselberry, FL I average 7Mbps speeds in a "very good coverage" area according to their map).

2. From what I understand, it does. Look in the Galaxy Nexus General thread for better information on that.

3. Yup!

4. Galaxy Nexus GSM thread (not Sprint or Verizon).

5. ROM won't effect anything to do with T-Mobile.

On a side note, you will not access 4G on T-Mobile. Its not a T-Mobile phone and it won't support 4G. Depending on your area, though, you should have more then adequate speeds :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iCaptivate:
Thanks buddy.

Btw I have like two more questions.

1. How much do you pay on monthly 4G? I want to get the $60 but I want to make sure it's $60 and not $60 plus a load of taxes.

2. About the ROM affecting functionality, that is a given. What I was talking about, is flashing different radios and ROMs going to affect my connection with T Mobile? Like if I flash a new radio, will my data or text or talk go out? I know that there's always bugs but that's the stuff I'm really worried about.

This is the Monthly 4G you're talking about, right?

I live in Miami, my friend gets amazing 4G. He has a SGS2 and is on T Mobile. But the SGS2 is dual channel HSPA+ 21, basically it's '42 mbps' but not really. I think that HSPA+ 21 is still '4G' but T Mobile marketing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Read. Its 21mbps HSPA+.

It uses a SIM. So yes.

Yes.

Yes...

GSM is a standard. There's a reason why there's only 1 GSM forum. Your ROM has absolutely no bearing on your carrier or connection.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

This is 100% false. Not sure who's telling you this. Your speeds are completely and utterly the exact same as a 21mbps HSPA+ device that is T-Mobile branded.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

You will pay sales tax on the refills. I have the $30 plan and pay $32.67 total every month.

As I said above, no, it has no effect on anything. If it's a GSM ROM it will never break anything unless the ROM is inherently packaged or changed incorrectly.

Yes that's where you buy Activation Kits for T-Mo Prepaid. Please go read the Prepaid thread in my sig and do some research instead of creating new threads. Ask questions in there pertaining to prepaid.

There is a TON of misinformation out there, as evidenced by this thread (sorry but some people just have no idea what they're talking about). You'll get much better info in the prepaid thread than the General or Q&A sections.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

GNex speeds will be noticeably lower than a T-Mobile branded SGSII. Comparing 21mbps vs. 42mbps in a 42mbps-enabled zone will make it clear. You should find yourself getting speeds of about 10mbps at the highest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
You can buy a t mobile Sim and activation kit from t mobile. You could save some $ and find one online for cheaper though. myself, I went to the t mobile store and they just gave me one for free.

You can activate it online when you pay for the plan you want.

You can also set up an automatic pay plan via the my.t-mobile website.
[General Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
This thread's purpose is exactly what the title says.

I'm a current Sprint customer who has an EVO 4G, and I've been drooling over the EVO 4G LTE (for obvious reasons). Consequently, I've been keeping an eye on all of the One X reviews and threads in here. Seeing as how similar these phones are, I figured that I can get a pretty good feel for what I'm getting into in regards to the new phone. I've never bought a phone on release day, so this is new/scary territory for me, particularly after reading so many bad things in here. So here's how my question breaks down: would you recommend a friend the EVO 4G LTE based on your experience with the One X? Please limit your responses to the performance, not the physical looks of it.

Key Interests:

1) This partially locked bootloader thing has scared me lately. Is is so much of a hassle that you would recommend I look elsewhere? Or can you still get new ROMs/kernels okay (I don't care if I have to be tethered to a computer to do it - I typically am anyway)?

2) Non-removable battery: is it as terrible as it sounds? I've seen mixed reviews on battery life. The EVO has a slightly larger battery, but I doubt enough to make a significant difference (2000 vs 1800).

3) Sense 4.0 stability? I've read lots of things about it crashing, or getting in the way of some of ICS's benefits. I'm unsure of how the performance is on Sense 4.0 so far.

4) Other issues like screen flickering, non-responsive screen, colors off, low signal, etc. that I keep reading about.

Keep in mind the camera scratch thing should not be an issue for me, as the EVO has that covered. Also, the SD card's lack of existence won't bug me because they put that in the EVO. So those two points are moot for me.

So back to the original question - would you recommend the EVO 4G LTE to a friend, assuming he was on Sprint and was staying on Sprint? Thank you all for your help! It is a huge decision and I want all the input I can get! :)

This thread was put in here by a mod, not me. So I apologize, but I had no control on this issue. This is not where I wanted it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] grinmaul:
There seems to be some options missing with the notes Bluetooth, on my nexus one and galaxy nexus i was able to select using my parrot in car Bluetooth for phone calls only and disable anything else, with the note there is no such option.

my car has Dolby surround factory stereo so i have the parrot hooked up to the center channel speaker for phone calls, when a call comes in it disconnects the stereo from that speaker and uses it for hands free. it has always worked out great, till the note that is.

now as soon as i plug the note into the samsung car dock my center channel is always on from the parrot, it also often sends noises through it, like you get when your cell is to close to a cheap set of computer speakers, that data cell switching noise, its very loud and annoying.

again this has never been a problem with my other android devises, they all had a way to switch it to phone calls only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaftspaz:
grinmaul --

Does the Parrot work correctly when you only have it connected to the Note via Bluetooth? What Parrot kit do you have and what software version is on it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] grinmaul:
ya, it works fine, it is just always on, where as other phones it only cuts out my speaker when it has something to say, like phone call, navigation turn upcoming, stuff like that. i am going to try updating the software, but i really don't see how it will help, its the samsung car dock app that is holding the connection open..

when i look at bluetooth options on other android devices for the parrot pairing, i see 2 things, phone and media, so i can uncheck the media part and only phone calls will go through it. but the note only has one.

maybe the upcoming ICS will have better options.

its a 3200 LS color
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pfd278:
When I first started using the samsung car dock, it would connect my phone to the sync bluetooth, and show my in a phone call. All I got was sounds from the phone, till I hit the end call on sync. I got it to stop by going into the voice talk settings and I shut off the auto start speaker, listen via bluetooth, and launch on bluetooth.

I was wondering if anyone else out there with their MSL code is able to successfully access their Debug screen by using *#*#33284#*#*

I wrote a more descriptive post explaining how I got here but the forum ate it because it logged me out for taking too long. You want a better explanation, bug the admins about lengthening the timeout.

I installed this, somehow totally hosed it by installing a live wallpaper via push (I didn't do anything weird, just clicked "Install" from my desktop PC and then my tablet flipped the **** out), was forced to reflash it over, now it won't sign in to Google. I select Play app, Existing, username and password, sign in successful what do you want to sync, then it dumps me back at the homescreen. No error, no hint of what went wrong. If I try to open Play Store again it asks for my Google info all over again.

How do I fix this? CAN I fix this? Is there a hardware issue going on here, bad RAM or something? How the hell would I even test for that?

Just moved from iPhone to i777, wanted to get ICS, but eneded up bricking my first phone by installing something meant for i9000. At that time I didn’t know Galaxy S2 has variants, just searched for S2 and got burned. My fault…..should have understood better.:mad:

I want to do it right this time so I have been reading about i777, ROMs, kernels, CWM.

I want to put SHOStock or CM9 ROM.

I know where these ROMs are and how to flash them using CWM.

But that’s where my confusion starts, that there are just too many sources and options and I don’t know which one is right.

So please advise.

How do I root?

Using this? It has multiple options

Which kernel to use

The one mentioned in SHOStock thread #3 post the Cherry Picker Kernel for i777 or Entorpy? Siayh

How do I get CWM on these, isn’t recovery part of the kernel or do I flash It separately or may be use ROM Manager, once rooted.

Modem? What does it do? Is it for phone or wi-fi and how do I know which one to use.
