Thanks for your help..

A simple instruction would be more helpful at least...BC it's similar to all Droids

Trebuchet.apk is home launcher app, because you removed it, phone cannot be accessed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_007:
hello :D I'm in a bit of a problem here ! , my xperia x10 motherboard is damaged and cant be fixed and I'm in the market for a new smartphone :D I willing to pay 400-450$ and I really like the S2 and the S3 looks amazing , so here it is : Should I get the S2 or wait awhile a long while :D to get the S3 (but maybe a used one !) , also could the features in the S3 be ported to the S2 ? advice plz what should I do ? thx in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
S3 is better than the S2, you want the best phone get the S3, you can't afford it, get the second best the S2. You're loosing 5mm on the screen size, some dpis (quite a bit actually ;)) and two cores.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Get an iPhone.

Seriously tho, get a Nexus. The last thing you want is to have anything to do with Samsung's ****ty firmware (even if it's only for a few hrs on the day you actually buy the phone). Samsung's refusal to play ball with developers has constantly made SGS2's devs lives difficult.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_007:
so u think the S2 is the second best ? is it the best I can get for 400-450$ ? thx again :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_007:
I thought the S2 had many custom ROMs , also what would be the difference in software between the S2 and the Nexus ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
S2 DOES have many custom ROMs. The issue isn't that...

I believe the issue is the inherent difficulty in getting ALL the hardware features supported with AOSP/AOKP builds due to how Samsung implemented their framework.

So though there are a lot of ROMs, both based on Samsung stock, and also AOSP and AOKP, the AOSP/AOKP ROMs don't support everything. I believe TV-out via MHL and FM radio are still not supported on AOSP/AOKP on the S2.

If you want the Android experience the way Google intended, get a Galaxy Nexus, as MistahBungle suggests.

They're a bit cheaper than the S2 right now anyways.

The only downside as far as I'm concerned about the GNex is the lack of external SD card support.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I was being facetious (well, sort of). What I meant was Samsung make a dog's breakfast of their firmware. Yes, there is plenty of custom firmware for the SGS2 which is its saving grace. However, Samsung stuffing up their firmware still makes life hard for devs. It makes it difficult for devs to get some features to work on custom roms (TV Out, WiFi Direct anyone ?). Ask people like Entropy512 & Codeworkx what they think of Samsung & their approach to firmware ;-D

With the Nexus it's Google firmware. Google don't seem to have an anti-dev stance like Samsung seem to have.

The only reason I got an S2 was due to the slightly better specs & the SD card capability. If I'd known about the firmware thing at the time, I might well have got a Nexus.

Put it this way, when I'm due to get another phone next year (assuming I don't kill my S2 in the meantime), if Google's phone at the time has a micro SD slot, I'll be getting it.

Edit - CTMG, read my mind ;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_007:
I dont know I'm a bit confused right now , I like the Nexus and I dont care about the SD card capability but I think the spec. of the S2 is a bit better like MistahBungle said and I want a phone that can hold on with me another year or two , so would i feel the difference between the Nexus and the S2 in the spec. ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
They both have their strengths and weaknesses. I personally like the feel of the S2 over the Nexus, but you may think differently.

If you're talking about performance, it will depend on what angle you're looking at. The TI OMAP in the GNex is better than the Exynos in the S2 in some areas, and vice versa in other areas.

From most reports, the two phones are pretty neck and neck, each edging the other out slightly in some areas.

The camera in the GNex is 5MP vs 8MP in the S2, but megapixels isn't everything when it comes to picture quality. The sensor in the Nexus is slightly bigger, and has zero shutter lag, which compensates for the difference in pixel count.

So in conclusion... it depends.

Your best bet is to go to a store that has both models on the floor for demo units, and to play with them both to see which one you like.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
I´d buy the S3 if I had the money tho, but S2 will be enough for at least this year.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n.a.r.k.i:
Not sure if its the right place to post (forgive me it's my 1st post)

I'm currently running '1ceCream Flavour (Beast)' ROM. (Brilliant ROM btw. I've used Elelinux, Ligux, and HTX MIUI also, so props to those ROM authors)

I'm not sure if it's related to the ROM itself, but I can't get it Fancy Widgets and Genie (News and Weather) Widget to use my location. As far as I am aware it worked for most the day. Location via GPS works but not thoroughly tested to confirm that. However Location via Wireless/Network doesn't seem to work. The Apps fail to find them. I am pretty much sure it's the same across all Location based Apps. (The location services work under the other ROMs, although HTX MIUI had a similar issue)

I've tried reflashing/wiping..formatting SD card/SD EXT etc. Stopping google framework and clearing cache for that and market.

flashed the v1.1 of 1ceCream Flavour to see if it solves it. after making sure everything is wiped. still the same.

Any ideas??

BTW I can't post in the Dev Section because I don't have 10posts count yet so that's why I'm here :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolo7291:
have you authorised it in the settings?

(sometimes the answer is quite simple you know...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n.a.r.k.i:
Probably was a Gapps issue or Location Services process not running..

I checked in the usual places, however after flashing a newer version of BEAST, sorted the issue.

Even tried looking at the logcat but couldn't see anything that stood out to my little knowledge

Could be to do with the older decked_x based rom being in US English language. But i'm sure i had location working for a while

anyway. flashing a newer ROM fixed it...now just waiting for a stable cm7.2 based SHPONGLE v3.5 :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] iDroidify:
so we all know that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is suppose to have a battery

life of 12 hours but can anyone actully comfirm this?

If this is true then 1% = 7.2 minutes.

So I have created a chart. This chart will most likely come in handy for people who needs to use their GTAB all day.

***WIFI MUST BE TURNED OFF IF YOU WANT THIS TO BE ACCURATE***

100% = 12hr 00.0min

90% = 10hr 48.0min

80% = 9hr 36.0min

75% = 9hr 00.0min

70% = 8hr 24.0min

60% = 7hr 12.0min

50% = 6hr 00.0min

40% = 4hr 48.0min

30% = 3hr 36.0min

25% = 3hr 00.0min

20% = 2hr 24.0min

10% = 1hr 12.0min

9% = 1hr 04.8min

8% = 0hr 57.6min

7% = 0hr 50.4min

6% = 0hr 43.2min

5% = 0hr 36.0min

4% = 0hr 28.8min

3% = 0hr 21.6min

2% = 0hr 14.4min

1% = 0hr 07.2min

If somebody can please tell me how much bettery life the GTAB 2 7.0 have with wifi on then I will make a wifi version of this chart.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] GuestK007:
very nice idea, but take into consideration, screen brightness, sound, if watching movies the type of codec can increase usage. I know my 10 i took off the charger on sunday afternoon, and this morning i was using it and it was down to 38%. when in standby mode they use almost no power at all, the 12hr test would mean someone would have to have theirs running for 12hr straight to benchmark this. I know i dont have a 7.0 but i do a lot of work with batteries and current tests for my companys products. Easiest bench which is what they typically use for telling a user how many hours is watch a movie, find one that is exact like 90min or 120min movie or show. pull it off charger then after about 10seconds, start the movie. when its done, log the battery percentage/voltage.

this would also be interesting to create comparison charts for say an excel sheet where you can toggle on differnt things you would use the tablet for and then it calculates how long you can use it for, would be a great tool for new buyers imo.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] miketoasty:
Yea on stock mine can stay in the upper 90's% for about half a day.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] iDroidify:
Yeah I know where you are going at, but this chart is meant for simple usage. I make sure I make a new chart with different options, but of course I will actully need to test the bettery life for different options.

•Streaming Music

•Listening too offline music

•Gaming ( High Quality Games like GTA3)

•And much more
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sergio_f:
i think if i use mine in web navigation, it will give me a 3hours max of juice, i got better battery life assisting a 720p movie and wifi off.

the tablet have 1 week old
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Any suggestions if there is a possibility to run one of the Custom Roms, built for ICS Leak, on the GSM ICS Leak? Just something like using the GSM-Patch with the GB-based custom roms. Is there any possibility to get this working?

I want to try it with Black Widow ICS (leak). It can be installed via ICS Bootstrap.

Edit: Maybe I can build a GSM-Patch for this roms.

I want to copy these files from system/lib:

li-mot-lte-ril.so

libmoto_nwif_ril.so

libmoto_qmi_ril.so

libmoto_ril.so

libpppd_plugin-ril.so

libreference-ril.so

moto-ril-multimode.so

and these file from system/etc:

apns-conf

All files taken from GSM device of course!

Then modifie the build.prop to the GSM settings, pack everything to an update.zip for using with CWM.

What do you think?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I hope anyone could give an advice :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
I wanted to do exactly this, but with no fastboot file for ICS leak, if i run into bootloop i'm done :p

But i did that on eclipse when i was on GB and i directly replaced those file into the eclipse.zip, not a patch and it worked fine.

but if you look at the blackwidow rom

you rather try with this rom http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/2405-romcdmakoa-aokp-612012/ which is based on ics leak for CDMA.

Anyway force may be with you :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spawns:
There was a Q that I wanted to do:

What needs to happen in order to create custom ROMs based on our leak? (GSM) In order to start "cocking" xD

Reading your answers, I understand that when fastboot files are released development on this device would start..

this is correct?

Thank for your time.. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
Well, it can start without fastboot file and make custom rom bases on current leak, but if the dev do something wrong and run into a bootloop after flashing his custom rom, it will be really difficult to back to stock without fastboot file.

I read that it's possible but it's a little complicated and not that much want to take that risk :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Ok guys, I tried the whole night. I booted up Black Widow ICS Leak successfully on my GSM device. I've built a GSM Patch, but there are still two issues. Network signal and WLAN is working great and stable. But I am not able to safe an APN and when I trie to enter the rom controls it closes. But no restarts sa far.. Nedd to play with the libs again. The most ones aren't needed. Now I am running the rom without these libs, but a few of them are responsible for saving the APN and the function to the rom controls. Maybe we also need the Verizon kernel to run it correctly...?

Edit: This is bull****, sorry, the verizon kernel can be flashed in case of wiped CID partition, and anyone who hasn't a backed up p18 can't do this without booting up with BP Tools until the end of his days... Anyone an idea?
[Continuum General] XjokiX7:
With the original tw launcher whenever you're using an app or game *for example Angry Birds* and you receive a call it shows up on the ticker. But when I use another Launcher *for example Go Launcher* and I play Angry Birds and I receive a call not only does it not show up in the ticker but it stops the game and the screen changes and shows me who's calling. is there a way to make the calls be show on the ticker while on Go launcher and using an app?
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
I've been looking at that, off and on,

For the last three months, with no headway. Trailblazer looked, and says its hard baked into tw. If it can be ported to go, I haven't figured it out, yet.
[Continuum General] XjokiX7:
Hmm.. Well whenever you have two themes installed *For example Launcher 7 and TwLauncher and you haven't yet decided which to choose as default* the apps show the call in the ticker. But then let's just say I decide to use Launcher 7 as my default, then it stops working and the screen changes to the call. That confuses me.
[Continuum General] spearoid:
I've posted on this topic before somewhere on this forum, but don't remember where.

The Touchwiz launcher has to be running for incoming calls to come to the ticker. I, too, find this feature indispensable on our phones.

I use LauncherPro. I have created an invisible shortcut to an "activity" that launchers Touchwiz launcher after I've rebooted my phone. Touchwiz comes up, I hit my home button and LauncherPro comes right back up. I never see Touchwiz again, but the service necessary to send incoming calls to the Ticker continues to run until I restart my phone again.

I tried GoLauncher but went back to LauncherPro. I can't remember why I did, but it might have been because I was unable to make a shortcut to launch Touchwiz. I don't remember.

So, I just have to remember to launch the shortcut anytime I've restarted my phone, and I'm good.

Touchwiz doesn't show up in the normal app list, so I needed the more granular set of options that "Activities" in LauncherPro provided.
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
I recall that work around. For me, it made the phone sluggish. But, that was also on a 07, which was a leak. Maybe it would work better with 09. I might give that a try again, and see what happens. I'd still like to come up with something that is more native, if I can eventually figure it out. But, for now, that is probably the best we have.
[Continuum General] spearoid:
Yeah, I have no doubt that the majority of my complaints about Trailblazer101's mods making my homescreen respawn all the time were related to running two launchers simultaneously....although I'm fairly sure I tried NOT loading up TW and I still had incessant homescreen respawns.

It was your suggestion, that finally solved all of my life's problems. Using Rom Toolbox to cut out all kind of unnecessary crap running virtually eliminated my respawn issue altogether.

I think my phone runs excellently now...even with TW running in the background.

But don't let that deter you. I'd LOVE to find a way to launch minimal software for the ticker-incoming call feature as opposed to running TW fully.

NOTES

SPEEDYv7 NOTE: Sorry to say, but it killed gps and logcat abilities (a must have for devs), also did not put cpu01 online as intended – so I removed those few lines from the main script, and now everything is working in harmony:). Big thanks to 0vermind for the great scripts that he chooses to share!

GPS NOTE: Please see HERE, HERE, HERE, and http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@ to adjust yours for your region, if you choose to do so - I left mine as installed and it works great when needed.

UPDATE 6/22/12: A deodexed twin brother, which will naturally be named Remus, was born late this night. Though he does not possess the innate overclocking abilities like his big brother (or Maps and Voice Search - could not deodex properly - download from the Play Store), and takes a bit longer to boot up, he is leaner and has other qualities (like being much easier to mod smali code;)).

Nice.good job
[Motorola Atrix 2] dicksteele:
Outstanding. You saved me some time. I've been farting around with a build like this.

Going on vacation next week slowed that down.

Anyone running the Milestone overclock stuff ?

I have the Supercharger running, I've been leery about the overclock. My phone definitely did not like the 1200 setting for rdavist's Supercharged V5. Never could dl the 1122 mhx fix so started building my own.

Thanks for your work !
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
Very nice. Looks great. Will be flashing in a while.
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
(((Bowing))) Well played sir!
[Motorola Atrix 2] eL_MeXiCaNo:
what's the battery life of this rom? Is it like stock or better/worse?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Hahaa.. thanks guys.

But when ics comes out, i'll drop this in a heartbeat :)

Battery should be pretty close to stock. There are a few build.prop edits which may drain a little more (like the max events per sec tweak) and some that may save a bit of battery (like the wifi scan interval)
[Motorola Atrix 2] marquavious:
This is just so awesome! I'm oozing with excitement! I'm flashing as soon as I'm home.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Looks and runs great, thanks for the ROM! Now back on AT&T let's get some Cheesecake! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Thanks for trying it out. And thanks for your help..

Definitely will be a cheesecake binge around here though:D

And after I figured out that it was just the one freakin defaults.xml that it changed (that was one major thing holding this project back - no connection to moto server), I'm not gonna be hesitant to have cheesecake installed, switching servers, and checking like crazy..
[Motorola Atrix 2] gvsukids:
Appreciate the rom runs smoothly and looks great. Is there a way to remove some of those battery sucking tweaks?

Ics will be so great for our battery life.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iraqmilner:
I must agree with the previous comments. This Rom is great. Thanks you guys for all your hard work. It is most certainly appreciated.
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
nice dude downloading now!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Well done!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gekass:
Thanks!

A decent replecment for the Victory Rom.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gvsukids:
Why can't we get better battery life on modded ROMs than was with the stock gb?
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Some due to overclocked cpu,some due to speed/ram tweaks/init.d tweaks. Some due to both.

I could take any of my roms and replicate stock battery life if i wanted to but then i will lose performance/responsiveness

The more noticeable battery drainer is the overclocked cpu.if you want better battery but slightly slower/less responsive phone..underclock it back to stock 1000GHz (if the rom is overclocked)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
rdavisct is totally right, it is possible on custom, just not so desired... that's partially why I left those out of this build - so anyone can put on whatever tweaks/scripts, etc. that they want - battery life or performance? - your choice, but you gotta do the work...;)

But, you could also re-edit your build.prop for minor battery saving tweaks (search around for those) and/or you can undervolt with Milestone Overclock (see link in post#2). Once you get the hang of MO, it's really simple to play with the speeds and voltages with terminal emulator and find the best that work for you - then you can edit the system/etc/init.d/00opptimize file to get it to stick on boot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
This rom is very smooth and stable. You evidently put a lot of time into it. Thanks for sharing this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Hey now - none of that..;) (just kidding, feel free to discuss amongst yourselves)

I personally think Lithium is a high-quality build. And, I would hope that Romulus is also regarded as such... but, there are some differences in features, appearance, and feel - and it's going to be up to each specific user to choose to use or lose or abuse or try something new, and to post or not post reviews...:eek:

Hope that helps..:laugh:

P.S. - Romulus is basically the only custom odexed rom we've got right now for the A2... can you hear the sound of my own horn tooting?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
it's really up to you. This is closer to stock, and is odexed (romulus at least). lithium is more themed towards ics. They are both outstanding work on the devs part, and it is really up to you which set of features you like better.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Archmag3:
I really love this ROM its snappy and fast.But I also want to try remulus,I read article about odex n deodex but I m not able to understand the implication of it :| What is real difference from end user point of view between odex and deodex versions O.o
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
IMO: odexed roms are what is used stock. And IMO much more stable. When you deodex a ROM, the classes.dex files are extracted and thus, is easier to modify. Making tweaking a ROM WAY easier.

But when a ROM is de-odexed it takes the phone a while to rebuild the cache. Because the jar/apk files are wearing their contents on their sleeves, if you will. Hence the long initial boot time with de-odexed roms.

De-odexed = easier to modify for devs.

Odexed = more stable for ROM users.

One again, my opinion. :)
