Yes it can trigger the emmc bug on ics kernels. Thats why I recommend doing the factory reset while still on GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
yeah, wipe data/factory reset on GB BEFORE you flash the stock ICS rom and you should be good to go.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Try to flash a custom kernel and you will know.

Or, a better method. Try to update using PCC (or repair), and in case it gives you a warning saying that it can not update as you are using modified software, then it means that your bootloader is unlocked with the official Sony method.

Also, you can try the pre installed track id to get a clue.

For the test point method, I do not think there's a way other than to try flashing a custom kernel.

Thanks,

Rick

Hit Thanks if I helped you in anyway
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
well an easy way to check its going to the phone app typing *#*#7378423#*#* to go to the service menu and then: software info and in the field S1 Boot Version you will find something like this 1241-3656 r9A029 the letter "r" it's the way you will know, in my case i have a lower case "r" cause it's unlocked however a capital "R" means it is locked, another way its in the service menu and then service info and configuration then in rooting status you will find a message telling you if it's allowed to unlock or not and even if it is unlocked.

Good luck.

Hi

Guys, i installed ics rom (TeamNyx RC5) but it doesn't have swype keyboard.

Since 3 days i've been trying to download swype from swype's homepage but it always gives error message (it's a swype's problem as i could read at swype users forum, and no way to fix it).

So i need a way to get swype keyboard with portuguese language (PT).

If anybody knows a diferent way to get swype, please post the link.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
downloading swype beta requires you to have a swype beta account. then grab the swype installer and from that install swype. and yes, that's working.

also any search engine will easily find you plenty of download links for swype apk, unofficial sources of course

providing swype.apk here would is not allowed by the TOS
[Android Apps and Games] klazpt:
Yes, and i have a swype account. I have downloaded the installer. It gives error. As i told in my previous post, its a "parse" error due to something weird in swype's download page or apk.

In fact, i've searched but couldnt find swype with PT (portuguese / portuguese) language. And even so, 99,9% of the links, send me to swype's homepage (wich has the error on downloading)

Anyway, if there is a problem with this thread, you can delete it.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
there's no swype with portuguese as language files are downloaded after install
[Android Apps and Games] klazpt:
Are you sure?? Ive tested one i found and it only had english and french and didnt give my any option to download any other lang packs
[Android Apps and Games] BIGshot87:
http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/

Download and install like any 3rd party app. Make sure you enable it in languages&keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] darthseven:
I can confirm that this is true, the additional languages are downloaded after swype is installed
[Android Apps and Games] klazpt:
Downloaded, installed, configured and.... working 100%

Sooooo Many thanks from Portugal!!

PS.

No problems at all regarding to:

1) Very good themes. A lot to choose :-)

2) Download links / speed

3) Installing

4) Setup (means download lang packs)

And again, thank you very much and congrats for the nice work you have done with swype themes :-)

It would be nice if rom developers could add these fixes to their roms, or if some good Samaritan could create those fixes for latest version of existing roms as a separate download.

not seeing that line ".locals 11"

or not finding "com/android/settings/framework/activity/SmartSyncDataLinkTurnOffReceiver.smali"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] one_love_420:
It could be a .register instead of a .local

You can easily change all .registers to .locals by adding "-l" into your baksmali cmd (obviously remove the quotes)

Instead of searching for the ".locals 11" search for the actual .method

As for "com/android/settings/framework/activity/SmartSyncDataLinkTurnOffReceiver.smali" its

"com/android/settings/framework/activity/powersaver/SmartSyncDataLinkTurnOffReceiver.smali"

Notice the /powersaver
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] one_love_420:
You do not have to, I personally do it as a habit.

java -jar baksmali.jar -l -b -o /smali/ classes.dex

That is the cmd I do, that removes smali debugging lines and does the change to locals. That makes the classes.dex smaller when smali back to classes.dex and changing to locals helps when adding in tweaks and additional code.

Which has nothing to do with this fix.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Wouldn't it actually be worse. Now, instead of sleeping after x amount of time, or after midnight, wifi is always on, so battery consumption should increase (hopefully only slightly).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thingnblah:
In theory this would be a sound assumption, however if your wireless signal is less than optimal your phone will be constantly searching for a data signal and thus increasing battery consumption. On the other hand if you have a strong wifi signal your phone will save battery by not having to constantly seek out a data connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
@thingnblah, your statement above is true with respect to more distant wifi AP's requiring more power to communicate than closer ones. However, in the case of the stock functionality, where wifi is completely shut down (even when set to never when sleeping), it doesn't matter how near or far the AP is. Wifi is shut down, so it makes no difference if it's a strong or weak wifi sign.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thingnblah:
My apologies for the lack of clarity in the previous post. I was referring to the signal strength of mobile data, wherein low strength would require more power to keep a connection vs a strong wifi signal thus causing higher power consumption.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^Agreed. However, I think mobile data also gets shut off during this time. When I first turn on the phone in the am, I can see it grabbing a bunch of emails. These emails are time stamped all through out the night, so it would seem no email at all is getting retrieve during this sleep state - be it through wifi OR mobile data.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thingnblah:
double post
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thingnblah:
yeah i looked at my battery info this morning and noticed that it was in very deep sleep all night so assumed it was turning off mobile data as well. I guess I find this a good feature now that I realize the entire scope of what is being done. If you don't need a data connection through the night then this seems like a good thing to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
If you always sleep at the same time every night, and you don't need to check emails when you sleep, then HTC settings should be perfect for you.

Anyone else would be struggling with the default settings...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thingnblah:
Agreed. I can see those that are on a schedule other than "business hours" having issues with this. Any way to modify the schedule rather than completely disabling??? If it were to get cooked into a ROM it wouldn't be too big of a deal to just disable data or use one of the many scheduler apps out there to accomplish the same goal, I just hate having a ton of apps installed running processes in the background.

Why am I getting Application not installed when I touch Menu>Settings, nor is it appearing in my app drawer? I have set permissions to RW-R--R-- and changed owner to root and group to root. I have rebooted. I had to revert back to the original copy of settings.apk I made in that dir, named settings.apk.bak. Thanks for uploading though, maybe you can tell me what I did wrong. I'm rooted and have latest Root Explorer. I also copied the settings.odex, if that matters.

EDIT:I can get to settings without copying the .odex file in the zip. But, is it working properly using my original settings.odex? Yours and mine had a pretty sizable difference in file size.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rydah:
No, that one is deodexed, and won't work with an odexed file in place. It's probably bigger, due to classes.dex being in a single .apk

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android314:
I've been using Liquid ICS 1.4 until a stable release of c9 s released. One thing I really miss that my old phone had was the Torch. I used the super bright mode that turned up the led's and I'd like to be able to have it on my Galaxy Nexus. I haven't been able to find anything at all and tried many flashlight apps. I am unsure though if cm9 even has it, is it possible with the Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PacerguyDon:
Some of the roms have the torch baked, in some don't. I haven't used Cm9 in a few weeks, but at the time, I don't recall it having the torch built in.

The current rom I'm using does have a torch baked in. It's just in the toggles though. So maybe if you check the different toggle settings of the rom you may run, you may find a Torch toggle that just needs to be selected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DriveEuro:
AOKP had it baked in.

I still preferred Flashlight HD LED. It would light when I opened it and it was simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stickerbob:
I use Tiny Flashlight + LED. It has a widget that allows you to turn the light on with one touch. I don't think it allows you to change the brightness of the LED though.

Hi guys,

I have looked around searching for how to supercharge stock ICS .431 Arc. I have tried so many ways, but No luck. Services.jar and services.odex for .562 don't work with .431. Can someone attach SUPERCHARGED services.jar and services.odex for the ICS .431 based ROMS.

[Windows 8 General] savage25rcracer:
I Have searched every ware to find a solution and have yet to find a fix.

USING TOUCH SCREEN.

Problem: When NOT in the Metro UI, Pressing in a text field the typing cursor appears and starts to blink. (ready for typing) (at this point in Windows 7 a keyboard icon will appear for the option to bring up touch keyboard; by pressing it) In Windows 8 this does NOT happen, I have to go to the task bar and manually start it.(little bit of an issue when using a convertible netbook with auto-hide task bar enabled to increase screen area as much as possible.) So I need to use the track pad to navigate to it.

When inside the Metro UI this feature works better than Windows 7 ever did.

So is there a way to fix this, find a fix, or a workaround?

The touch keyboard is a toolbar in windows 8

Right click taskbar

Touch Keyboard
[Windows 8 General] savage25rcracer:
My post already says that.

when in tablet mode that not the easiest thing to do, and very cumbersome.

it should automatically appear when a text field is selected.

it does this in the Metro UI and Metro menus, but not anywhere else..standard applications.....not metro apps....

It should work but for some reason M$ has not enabled it.

You have to actually manually open the keyboard app every time.
[Windows 8 General] savage25rcracer:
after exploring several thing in the os i was able to find 2 temp workarounds.

1. Search tabtip.exe make it a desktop shortcut, right click it and make a shortcut combo key.

2. swipe in from the right side to show the charms panel > select settings > keyboard > Touch Keyboard.

These take a few extra steps each but i guess it will work until M$ fixes it.

I will still be looking to enable the auto feature.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
I have been trying out several different ICS ROMs on my phone for the last few months. Never had a GB custom ROM. I was on stock UCKK6 which came with my phone and then went on to the ICS roms.

I have tried almost all of the SGH-i777 custom ROMS - and MIUI as well.

Out of curiosity I decided to go back to Gingerbread so flashed UnOriginal ROM.

First thing I noticed - Damn this is smooth. Everything - browser, launcher, touch response - everything is smooth like a baby's butt.

So whats going on with ICS? why dont we have the same smooth experience on any of the ICS roms. Is it because the official source code has not been released yet? or is it resource heavy compared to GB?

Do not want to start a ROM comparison but just curious. Having moved back to GB I am not sure I am missing anything critical from ICS. Others might not share this opinion but this is what it is for me and the things I use my phone for.

I am still bitten by the flash bug - so will continue to try out the ICS ROMs.

What do all of you think about moving back to GB and the pros/cons? What ICS feature will you miss the most? Please share your thoughts!

It is a personal choice.

In here, in this world, whole universe, no one forces you to do what you don't want to.

Once in a while, I still heard some people saying "Windows 3.1 is so much better than Windows 7".

It is purely your choice so no need to put the flame on.

It's good that seeing you in fact trying out a few different ROMs and finally made the decision on your own.

That's a good sign for all of us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nappent:
I've had the same experience as well. I'm not so sure if it's issues with the roms but more with the Kernels. There is a lot involved to tune the kernels just right. I'm no developer but I believe ICS may just be a little more complex this GB.... or at lease ICS is not so forgiving.... I'm not developer so who knows.

On a side note, I just tried the PARANOIDANDROID v1.1 port so far this has been on the same level as smoothness as any GB rom I've ran. Link below:
