[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] occupational_hazard:
From what I read it specified I-777. But still who knows for sure without further research.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneturf:
Given the number and popularity of the many ICS roms for skyrocket and how many of them recommend one to three data wipes and system formats every time you flash it would seem like this is not a problem for the skyrocket.

# crazy it guy subroutine 42

/rant

I have easily flashed 20+ times.

Flashed ucld2 via odin leak. Have tested ALMOST EVERY rom in our dev thread with very little problems and NO hardware issues (since most roms start with a samsung base). Ran cm7 and 9 too...

Haven't ever had 98% of the problems reported in our threads. Usually, it seems, users and devs alike (all people) have a tendancy to jump to conclusions based on anecdotal evidence alone.

None of us want to bork our phones, so it gets propogated.

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never hard bricked a phone (1 motorola, 2 htc, 2 samsung)... but I READ A LOT!

Heck- Ive even run most if the GB roms with UCLD2 modem out of pure laziness.... same speeds I got on every other modem (variable, average out about the same)

So- back to the point. Thanks for the "heads-up"... but this probably is of no concern...

I'm back on Gingerbread SkyICS anyways.

ICS was just too flaky with some of my apps.

The OS itself was great, except for some bluetooth problems (not everyone has them). But too many of my apps were buggy with ICS.

Gingerbread SkyICS is still awesome. I hope the Dev continues to update it when he has free time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbucks911:
Omg we don't have to worry about this these are all phones with EXYNOS processors and in case you haven't noticed our phones use snapdragon s3 processors. The kernels are completely different and the problems wouldn't be carried over to our device by Samsung. And this has NOTHING to do with the att note modem causing problems on our device. The Note that has this problem is the international note with an exynos. The att version has snapdragon. The issues with the att note modem are because the modem was not made for our device and can interact badly with our kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slotstik04:
Yeah I think we should be in the clear. No one here has had any issues.

Sorry it was funny thou
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
It mentioned the GT-N7000 Galaxy Note (Samsung Exynos SoC). The UCLC5 modem people were/are using here is from the SGH-I717 Galaxy Note (Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC).

You would assume wrong. Completely different hardware. That mean's completely different kernel.

However, just because our phone was not mentioned in that thread does not mean we couldn't still be affected. Need to find out what specifically is causing the issue and then dig through our kernels to see if it also present there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
Hmmm...not liking this news one bit. Don't wanna go back to gingerbread...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Ridicilous. i have flash both leajs probobly over 150 times . everytime i wanted to change something in my rom. I did and reflashed the rom.

Paranoid. thats all. And 99.9 percent of the bricks in skyrocket forun were the users fault.

Agree or not its truth.

Crazy how people are scared now. And runing away from ics leaks. Think about how ling the leaks have been Out. those of us who do the developing. Woukd have been the first to experience this. and would have definately warned people. And stoped development on the leaks. the devs flash things alot more then the rest of the community

Because we nedd to make sure it works. Before posting publicly.

This is wrong and completly untrue for the skyrocket. so dont be paranoid. take off the tin foil hat and relax lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slotstik04:
Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean its not a problem. I agree with you in the fact that we are probably fine, but if we followed your logic, what explains the devs over at the Galaxy S2 forums? Those developers have flashed the leak multiple times without any problem, but 2-3% of the users (including advanced users) flashing correctly are bricking in the clock work recovery after using the leak. Even if it doesn't apply to us, I think its still important to look into our files once the issue is pin pointed to see if we are actually affected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pakxelaos:
I wouldn't worry about it.

If it's gonna brick, let it be and buy another phone

Right now enjoy rooting my skyrocket :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
I've been riding every version/update of SKYICS. With every new base I do 5 factory resets then 5 more wipes on both caches. With every update I'm doing 5 wipes on both caches too.

seanzscreams releases something new almost every day so I've lost count but it's been a lot of wipes.

I pray I don't brick, but I ain't stoppin' now. I have insurance on the phone, but still...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] arokace:
Whats the issue with the ICS leaks? You run the risk of bricking it? If so I have not had any issue with ICS leaks either, besides not using touch CWM recovery for a bit and it not installing some roms right...but that all worked out once I installed CWM recovery

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
I've read that Task Manager such as Advanced Task Killer are bad for Android as the app will automatically start back up, so I uninstall the Task Killer and was wondering what's the alternative way?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Leave android do the task killing in its own native way. But u can tweak it further if u want, using auto memory manager or autokiller memory optimizer. Search in market
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
Auto Memory Manager or AutoKiller Memory Optimizer always run in the background? Also I heard Back Button Killing (Long Press) works, is it correct?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Probably, i cant remember if its one time service or constantly running in background service. U can try both and see what suites u best. The long press back key to kill foreground apps only works in cm or cm based roms
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2, so Long Press key will work instead of using the apps you suggested me?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Read my previous post again. Long press back key to kill apps in cm is only for FOREGROUND apps, not BACKGROUND apps/process.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
Auto Memory Manager or AutoKiller Memory Optimizer are the best ones in the market or is there others?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Try them and decides what best for you yourself. its just few clicks away in the market
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
So after using a app, I just press the middle button on the Galaxy Ace and leave it and that's it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iniquitousone:
Just to verify the process, here is the situation: I have an Arc, running stock ICS kernel with JJ's hybrid ROM v2. I originally had baseband 56, and just yesterday flashed baseband 70 on it. However, I was wondering if it was necessary (for full functionality) to reflash the kernel and ROM, or am I safe having only flashed the baseband?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
You'll need to boot a kernel using fastboot. Check the dev forums for an appropriate kernel if there's no link in the thread.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iniquitousone:
Well, I already have a running kernel and ROM, I'm just curious to whether or not I need to RE-flash those things. My phone is still working now that I've flashed baseband 70 and haven't RE-flashed the kernel or ROM.

[HTC One X] Kassim.d:
I had a samsung galaxy s 2 dual core and now i have the htc one x quad core, but i can't see the difference in speed, is it normal ?
[HTC One X] nebsif:
out of curiosity: does it lag on live wallpapers? can u try?
[HTC One X] sreza:
It's perfectly normal, and something I've been warning people about for a long time now. SG2 had a dual core 1.5 GHz processor, One X has a quad core 1.5 GHz processor. Having 2 more cores does not mean that the One X is twice as fast, just that it's twice as strong. There's a big difference.

Read all the way through this thread discussing the positive/negatives of dual core vs quad core processors. I spent a lot of time there trying to dispel a lot of the ignorance surrounding the science behind what makes a processor faster/stronger than the next.

[HTC One X] galaxys:
HTC One X should be a beast...
[HTC One X] sreza:
No, the techno-illiterate keep spreading this myth that more cores equals faster speeds. It's just not true.

It can do more things at once versus a dual core CPU, but if it's at the same Cortex class and clocked to the same speed, it's not going to be any faster.
[HTC One X] imheroldman:
+1 watch the video of the galaxy nexus vs the one x phone arena did, it is embarrassing how awesome the nexus looks compared to the one x.

Honestly the dual core versions with the s4 are better performers for the reason stated, better cortex and smaller nm. It also means for better battery efficiency.
[HTC One X] Koizuma:
Just to knit pick a tad, the SGS2 (international, ATT, T-Mobile versions) had a 1.2GHz dual core where the Skyrocket variant had the 1.5GHz
[HTC One X] sreza:
Ah, I'd assumed OP had the skyrocket, else he might've noticed a slight speed increase.
[HTC One X] olyloh6696:
I don't think the OP has EITHER phone. He's making so many post on which to buy , which means he hasn't got it? He's also saying he has a Sensation and XL... he has that many phones?
[HTC One X] rentbox:
Much like PCs, the move from single to dual core showed immense promise. However, the move from dual to quad can appear very, very underwhelming.

You really have to have applications that are programmed for the architecture of your processor. Otherwise, the benefit is bragging rights, and even then, who wants to be that guy...

Also, live wallpapers need to be optimized. There can be a 25 core A15 at 5GHz and if the software does not fully support the capabilities of the CPU, it's gonna lag.
[Dell Streak 7] ManInBlue:
Hi there,

I'm planing to integrate a Dell Streak 7 as HeadUni into my car.

The Streak has just arrived but there one or two issues I can't handle.

First at all: If I build the Streak into my car, I can't reach the on/off Button anymore. I don't wont to seperate the button from the Tablet so I want to use the front Buttons for unlocking. Is there a simple workaround for this? I think there should be a software-solution for this problem.

Next problem is my connection to the steering-wheel-audio-control-buttons. I realy want to have vol-up and vol-down woking on this thing. My plan is tu modificate a simple blue-tooth Keyboard for this. Is there a possebility to create some Keyboard shortcuts for vol-up, vol-down and so on? (for example with he + and - keys?)

There some still some other issues, but this two are very important for my project, so it would be great if anybody could help me.

Thanks alot, and sorry for my poor English!

Greetings,

Sören

okay, seems that I have found a solution for the first problem...

But, when it's totaly shut down, a still can't boot it... Can't see a solution for this quite now...
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Nor will you find one. If you want full functionality you need to take the Streak part and extend all buttons by hardwire extensions.. And don't forget the occasional hang up for which you will need the reset button. Or mount in in a way where you have access to everything
[Dell Streak 7] ManInBlue:
That doesn't sound good...

I'm thinking about a solution with a docking station. So that I can remove the tablet an use it outside of the car...

But in that case I have to make bigger modifications to the car itself... and thats not the way I want to go with this project...

(Car is a 05er Toyota Corolla Hatch...

[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
You really don't wanna for that route either unless you can truly secure the Streak to the dock and ELIMINATE vibration.... Mess up the pins and your Streak becomes worthless if you lose access to it for charging or file transfer

Come on lets go free custom kernel loading!!

i am trying to port kexec to the r800x and i need some help.

right now i can get it to run up until i try to load a kernel into memory and gives me the error

"cannot find free area of memory xxxxxxx bytes"

i dont know much about programming but i can do some simple things in c++

i think you might be able to change the kexec kernel symbols by patching /dev/kmem

..... i believe that the kernel by default doesnt have the kexec module loaded(what im saying is that the kernel symbols for kexec arent enabled.) so we might have to make a kexec module.

You may just be getting the error as the phone doesn't have enough internal space or ram. (I can't remember what they are so I might be wrong there.)

With Verizon, anything is possible. We had root, but 2.3.4 blocked root. Who would of guessed.
[Xperia Play General] beez1717:
That's just verizon giving their customers the middle finger... I personally think that Sony should slap Verizon by allowing their users to root and unlock their plays when upgraiding to ICS. This might alert Verizon that at least one company has decided to side with their customers and won't stand Verizon's attempt to force users on what Verizon deems to be "old" phones to upgrade; the "upgrade" was actually made to kill important features and make the average user enough pissed off that they buy a new phone at full price, and hopefully a droid phone that is able to suck more money from the user.

[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
I doubt this will ever come to fruition.

IF you want to help a developer then I suggest paying Alejandrissimo a visit and ask for a bootloader unlock.

Pay him extra money so he actually makes some profit.

His 15$ fee or whatever, just pays for the license key to unlock the phone. So if you give him 30, he makes 15$ profit.

I asked Doomlord if he could help in porting his kernels over to locked R800x and he told me it would involve so much work that nobody in their right mind would do it. because a lock bootloader is VERY hard to work with.
