[Motorola Atrix 2] shamsud:
will never buy moto agian, atrix 2 is my first and last moto.Damn will have to deal with this moto**** phone for six months
[Motorola Atrix 2] rocky_upadhaya:
The other OEM are also not too different also, I haven't used HTC so cant really comment on that but the thing about samsung phones is they manage to sell more device so maximum number of devs are contributing in there but still Samsung is also evil they support their only premium phones like S2, S3 and others are neglected. Even the premium device are neglected right after another iteration is released. Coming from Samsung phone I actually feel nice to own a motorola phone for the first time. The work done by jimbridgman , dave and others should be thanked. Yes we have no other choice but to hope guys like them continue their quest to unlock bootloader ;) and A2 gets its bootloader unlocked soon. The CM9 that jimbridgman developed seems to be more stable (minus radio part) than other CM9 of other phones. They have problems like camera not working, video recording an playback not working and many more only because Samsung doesnt want to release the driver and other libraries... Unless you can buy premium samsung phone like s2 or s3 which are much more costly than this phone I suggest you to keep away from samsung and start loving Motorola :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I can't take a whole lot of credit for the CM9 port that is in here. It was a combo between lfaber06 and I in the early stages, and we started some porting from a CDMA phone, so that is why the radio does not work right. Others have by now put more time into it, like rdavisct.

I have my own FULL compiles of CM7 and CM9, but since they have custom kernels we can't boot them without the bootloader being unlocked, or kexec updated.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzephi:
You don't need a custom bootloader. Go over to the Droid x2 section (Motorola locked bootloader also) Dragonzkiller has an almost fully functional CM7 (720p video, which isn't available for official CM7) and almost has a functional CM9 with minor bugs.

Compared to the official roms, for a locked bootloader, his version is less buggy than the nightlies for CM9.

don't assume you need a custom kernel for something. Dragonzkiller proved it can be done, just have faith
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Trust me, this phone is more locked than most. I have tried every way I know, even porting over cm7 and cm9. As well as several other devs in here have also tried.

Heck, I am now even an official CM developer and coding for the official devices.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S@LEM:
after 1 year using my arc (stock).. there's no major issues can be notice than the horrible multitasking of programs running on phone.. especially the games.. when you playing say Angry bird and then received a call, check email or message.. and come back again to resume your game you'll see its restarting and everything is gone.. also the browser apps like Opera.. every time you go to check another app and come back again it'll restart everything :(

have been thinking if its because the lake speed of my SD card 'cuz its class 2.. but i have tested it and the result came 6.6 MB for read .. 12.5 for Write..

so is there any way to fix that.. do i need to root my device, or shall i wait for the upcoming update ICS?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevenD2:
It will be worse with ICS because it'll be using more RAM.

I would try a rom like Arconium, I can multitask on it pretty well
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S@LEM:
just hope the late of update the original Arc is for good.. i think it's the last update for Xperia 2011, by then i'll definitely go for rooms stuff.. after long time have being doing that since the days of C905 :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatchocolate:
So I just flashed the latest ICSSGS ROM onto my samsung galaxy S VIBRANT. I understand this causes some issues since its not a vibrant rom. But the only issue it has is the Volume Rocker is Reversed in functionality and The headset jack STATE is reversed-(as in it think headphones in when its not and out when its in) .

I looked at parts of the kernel to try and fix this eg system/usr/keylayout but I've had no luck.

Anyone have a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaln1987:

You'll need to remap the buttons.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464

Check that thread out. It says only a few buttons can be remapped on the Vibrant, but hopefully that includes the volume buttons. If not, there should be enough information in that thread to learn how to do it manually.

Good luck!

EDIT: Actually, since you're running an I9000 ROM, it may work without a hitch. Hopefully this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I'm wanting to port Honeycomb 3.1 simply because of the whole Touchwiz UX UI... Would it be possible? And if so who's willing to help? And If it isn't is there a way I can port the TouchwizUX launcher to our devices running ics?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] pmdisawesome:
Well, I and bobrien made a port (not so good) of TouchWiz UX for the Amazon Kindle Fire here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1590246

It's kinda' laggy and only works with the DPI of 120(on the Kindle Fire), but it is working on CM9/ICS. Try if it works!

What version of Galaxy Player are you talking about? (4.0 or 5.0).

And about Honeycomb, well, there a problem with source code, Google did release the code for HoneyComb, but only when ICS had came out, so most devs skiped Honeycomb, like Cyanogen (no CM8) .

It's not impossible, but as long as ICS is still in work, I don't think HoneyComb will be on Galaxy Player!

Update: Not working with 190 DPI on Phone UI CM9/AOKP Rom, changing it to 120 or use the Tablet UI may work it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I'm using Galaxy player 5.0 running AOKP tablet from I'll give it a try thanks.

[EDIT]

It says unfortunately launcherux has stopped immediately when I open it :/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] pmdisawesome:
Try DPI 132 instead, it works on Motorola Xoom with this DPI, or look into the XML, maybe something it's in there telling you what's the condition for it to run.

There shouldn't be problem with JUST the launcher, but if you want the whole TouchWiz, you have to port the ROM then since TouchWiz runs on framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.

Changing the device may do some harm to your device, so BACKUP before doing this, unfortunately I let my friend borrowed my Player, or I would have help!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
The standard DPI on the AOKP Tablet UI Rom is 120

The right DPI for Tablet UI on GP 5.0 is 128 I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I've tried 132 before, it goes into phone UI when I do that :/ do you think you could give me a guide on porting roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] pmdisawesome:
Go into the AndroidManifest file in the apk, there should be a condition for it to run in that file, custom the Player to that condition and you're good to go!

Remember that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 wasn't shipped with TouchWiz UX at first, so there isn't any standard for TouchWiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I doubt I get it working but I'll try :(...

I didn't see anything. What exactly am I looking for? Could you take a look at the files and point me to what I need to change? and when I tried to edit the file it wouldn't let me. I'm using root explorer. It allows me to extract the manifest file but I can't put it back in the original launcher file :/ help please.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] chrisd1a1:
moved to general - if you get it working then dev is the right place
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] pmdisawesome:
Hey, just took another look at the xml files and it seems Galaxy Player CANNOT be compatible with TouchWiz UX using ANY Rom!

Why? It requires a xlarge screen, which we don't have, tablets (for real) like the Fire and the Xoom have an xlarge screen.

So it can't be running! UNLESS Somebody Port it to a medium-large screen (not really sure what we have, will take another look) OR Mod it to this screen (won't look real though)!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Since i done a bit of research and dug around a bit on xda i finally came up with a thread that shows me how to get it working. And it actually does and i for one find it amazing.

What you get is with Google Music you get to have a 20,000 song space over the air firstly. That is awesome. You can play music offline or while you out and about and that frees space on your phone. More details regarding Google music you can get it here

Now on with the tutorial:

1) First download hotspot shield from here

2) Once you downloaded then install it on your pc. Once you install then start it up. I suggest to use either Firefox or Google Chrome.

3) What hotspot shield does it basically does is to use your browser as a VPN. That gives the impression that you are in America for example and you can download google music. Think of it as market enabler that you use on your phone for apps that are only available in the US or other countries.

4) Once hotspot shield is installed run this and the "shield" will go from red to green. This means it's running.

5) Then go to play.google.com and then to shop->shop music and register or login with your gmail address.

6) Download and install google music manager and exit hotspot shield.

7) Once done enjoy your music on any phone. For android just download the apk given in the OP.

So there you go...a very nearly full functional use of google music....let me know what you think and if it's helped you out. Feel free to share the guide if you like. Just make sure you ask me first and give link of my thread to yours.:) Once you finished all the setup and everything else with your account, no need no longer need to use hotspot so you can uninstall it from your pc

Thanks to truthlesshero for his guide that helped me get me started.

Google Music Manager download from here for MAC

For Windows it is here

And if this guide has helped you out do not forget to hit that thanks button:)
[HTC One X] Leighm0:
Doesn't work.. asks me to "Add a new payment method", if I click Cancel or the X in the top right, it doesn't proceed and doesn't setup my Music Library and cannot upload music, and it doesn't actually get the Free song I chose.

I think they have worked out this method and are now asking for a USA credit card to confirm you are a USA citizen, even tho they do not charge your card.

Bummer.. :mad:
[HTC One X] diegosps:
I just used a free VNC, like TunnelBear, and created my account through web browser.
[HTC One X] twistedh:
I have an account with http://uktvproxy.co.uk/ for watching SKY UK as I live abroad now. I signed upto to Google music a few months ago, put all my collection online and the best thing is that it works just fine on my mobile without having to be logged into a proxy.

It's a good service, but for me, on my other phones there has been about a 3-5 second delay in between changing songs - that feels like an eternity to me. Not sure how to improve the speed.

If it ever gets like spotify, where the music starts/changes almost instantly, then I'd use it more often.

I have no issues when using on my pc though.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Did you download music manager? i still can get into the store but only to download the free songs that it shows up in the free songs section my friend.:)

Here is an easier step by step method to register to Google Music outside US. (you can use is without any proxy after you are done)

engadget.com/2011/11/19/how-to-use-google-music-from-anywhere-yes-outside-of-the-unit/
[HTC One X] Goku80:
that requires you to download the tor browser and although it sounds easier i can sure it does not.

look all you do is download hotspot shield. then install and start it up. get firefox up and running and then just go into google music and follow the steps...piece of cake..once you setup your account with google music and set up everything on pc which it takes five minutes, then all you got to do is just start listening to music. and every time you go on google music on your pc just make sure you sign in with your email account that you set up the google music with..and then you can uninstall hotspot shield
[HTC One X] Piquedram:
not working for me either. I'm using Tor browser, if i browse to whatismycountry.com it tells me i'm in the USA, so the proxy is working. But when i go to music.google.com and log in i get the following message:

We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States.

when I go to play.google.com i do get the option to enter the music store, but then when i try to add a free song it tells me to add a new payment method...

Then when i fill out all of the fields (apparantly i live in the US, in Somecity, Alabama) it tells me my phone number is invalid.

Adding a random american phone number (i used games workshop's customer service phone number) works, and I can now "purchase" free songs.

Next issue, when i try to buy a free song i get the message "Oops, we could not determine if this item is compatible with your device. Please try again later."

No idea how to fix that, so I'm stuck for now. music.google.com still says unsupported, and no songs can be added.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
are you downloading music manager firstly? and then you do know you can not buy songs..you can only access the free ones. :( honestly i got it working for me otherwise i would not be posting this...
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Right guys try this for me please

install hotspot shield. Once installed run this and the "shield" will go from red to green. This means it's running. Then go to music.google.com and register or login with your gmail address. Download and install google music manager and exit hotspot shield. Start uploading your music. Once done enjoy your music on any phone.

For android just google google music.apk and install and for all other phone/tablet(including wp7 and iPhone/iPad) just go to music.google.com

Hope it helps someone now
[HTC One X] Piquedram:
interesting. I'm at work, so not everything is possible here concerning proxy's. But once i tethered my internet through my phone I could use hotspot shield, and that just worked first try! I have downloaded the google music app on my computer!

now i'm going to download that apk and install it on my phone.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
nice one:)

Right re done the OP and made it more simpler and easier to figure out and this now should work..Apologies for any inconvenience guys..Please if someone has tried it now let me know if it works.:)

[HTC One X] zekit:
Hi guys, just to confirm that it is working.

Although i haven't tried it with hotspot shiled. At work we are using USA proxy so i just downloaded and registered at work, got the APK installed also and uploaded 8000+ songs when i went home (it took a looong time :D) now i can listen all my songs from work, home, HOX, anywhere with internet access... :D
[HTC One X] Basil3:
I tried the engadget method, didn't work. Would just hang at the final stage of registration.

Had no probs using a program called Hide My IP. It works with the free 14 day trial. Just set IP to a US one and register for google music.

http://www.hide-my-ip.com/

I think it's been mentioned that you can update the apk in the OP. I'm currently using v4.1.513, and don't even know if that's the latest.
[HTC One X] Ga73:
This does work, I've been using google music for a few months now and I'm in the uk. Just drag and drop your music into the relevant pc folder and your phone will sync it.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
cheers mate:) all you got to do is once you download music manager the rest it is just as easy as you said...just add the folder that you want in music manager press upload and job done;)
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
hi i couldnt also get it to work on my main pc, so i thought.

i got the not avalible in your country thingy.

anyways i went upstairs to my laptop (which has unblock-us installed on the wifi router - i have two routers one with unblock-us and the other standard) and just put in the url - staight in with a bucket load of free tunes (375 tune or 24hs 38mins worth).

Im unsure if they let the original instal went though or if my unblock-us was the thing that sorted it, either way im happy!!! really nice app that works seemlessly on all my android devices.

time to free up the music from my machines now and sync them though the cloud!!.

thanks again OP., btw i had now probs with the supplied apk, streaming working a-ok here
[HTC One X] Goku80:
No probs mate. I tell you what guys the forum here of the One X is ten times better and more appreciative than the S2 forums. That is why i am so glad i got this phone now and no more need to help out there on the s2 at they do not appreciate when someone tries to help out..Anyways glad it is working for you mate.:)
[HTC One X] moc7:
Didn't work for me...

Followed instructions from OP & got the message "We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States." HotSpot Shield active & working. Tried with Chrome. Is it possible that my Google account is already registered overseas & that triggers the message?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Try setting a new one and see what happens:)
[HTC One X] eightlegs:
I used the tor browser method with no probs when I first got my one X. One question I have with google music tho is where do your songs go that you make available offline and how can I play them through the stock music app? I need to do this so as to stream them to my amp. Or is there anyway of making the google music player DLNA compatible?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
from what i gather when you try and play songs offline it is the ones that you have available on your sd card...to play the ones you have in the storage with google music you must have your connection on:( sucks but hey.:) let me do some more digging mate
[HTC One X] louis.b:
Thanks a lot! Easy to follow and it works well for me. Just wondering if Google Music will automatically sync/ download music when I turn on wifi or 3G?

Is there anyway to change it since I have a very limited internet allowance on my phone?

I live in Australia, So far i can download the free songs to my computer and phone but i cannot purchase songs because you need a US credit card.

Is there a way to simulate a virtual credit card thats US based?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
you probably could but i would advise not to. the only thing is to get the free songs and the storage for now..anyways glad it worked for you:)
[HTC One X] dvirf:
unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

i get a message that this service is available only in the US
[HTC One X] Goku80:
have you enabled and installed hotspot shield? and then once it is activated you started your browser?
[HTC One X] dvirf:
i've installed it correctly.

the trick for me was to go to play.google.com and then to shop->shop music (in step 5. instead of going to music.google.com).

can i upload music without the hotspot shield? edit: the answer is yes :) there's no problem uploading music from the computer to the cloud using the Music Manager nor is there a problem accessing music.google.com without proxy, once the instructions in the original post are completed.

also, should i download the attached music app from your original post, or is there an updated app?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
download the app from the OP and see if you can update it through the market:)
[HTC One X] Ibroe:

[HTC One X] Meltus:
An easier way would be to use a web based US proxy (Google that exact phrase, there's plenty to choose from!) and sign up via that.

That's what I did, it took about 5 minutes :)

Unless this EntroPay gives you also a virtual US address, you still cannot use it as google will ask for a valid address for your card that you want to register for any purchases in google music.

[HTC One X] Goku80:
Of course it will not allow you. Do you not read the OP
[HTC One X] kalda01:
I totally understand that Google does not allow to register to the music service from out side the US, but once I registered what's the point of allowing to upload music into my account but not purchase online?

Apple allows buying music no matter where you are from the US store as long as the account was originally opened from a US location.
[HTC One X] yanuricasper:
Thanks man.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
dude you are getting cloud storage to save any music you get for free. you get to check on a weekly basis what free music they have. the reason you can not get any music from there cause outside the US they might face lawsuits for distributing music that they might not have licence to yet hence why they are still ongoing talks..something like that..let me find a link and you can read more about it

no worries fella...only trying to help out were i can..hit the thanks;)
[HTC One X] kalda01:
Interestingly, if I connect via TORO or HotspotSheild, I can login using my non US account and purchase music using a non US credit card.

So they don't care who you are and where you're based as long as the IP is US based.
