Their build quality is superb. And let's be honest, their Sense UI is pretty sick looking :cool:
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
I think almost every UI overlay has its advantages. While Sense looks the best, TW is by far smoother and has some pretty useful features. Can't go wrong with the GS3 or OneX.

[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
are you saying the wiz is better than sense? Have you had a concussion recently?

:D
[myTouch 4G General] rockstarar:
i'd go with gs3. ;)

off topic, ios 6 looks pretty damn amazing. i think my next phone might be an iphone guys.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
Touchwiz?? serious? i think the smoothest you can get is pure bone stock. :p

dude get this guy outta here, he deserves a ban xD

but wow..i haven't even tried out everything in iOS 5 yet and 6 is coming out... lol
[myTouch 4G General] rockstarar:
he's saying touchwiz is smoother than sense. i think sense 4.0 is just as good. the gs3 is just TOO SEXY.

but, really, ios6 looks like it answered everything i mocked about it, all the way down to turn-by-turn nav. its got a lot of awesome stuff. i liked imore's liveblog the best, catch it at http://www.imore.com/wwdc.
[myTouch 4G General] invasion2:
iOS 6 is going to be sick...but we should be talking about it in the bs thread. Oh wait, it was closed without a warning...
[myTouch 4G General] 0.0:
i like Passbook. but some stuff android could already do. i still think android has an edge with the features. with apps, apple already wins
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Sick? It adds functionality that android has had since 2.0. I won't get it until the jailbreak comes out.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
i think invasion2 is really an Apple fan on the inside :p

we should kick him out lol
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Once we get our full sense port, we'll stick our name on it and kick him out haha. Let him die broke and surrounded by i****.

I keed invasion :D
[myTouch 4G General] invasion2:
Well sick as in sick on an Apple device.

Yes I am. If you look at my profile, it says Apple and Android fanboy :p

Thanks for the kind words both of you...:cool:
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
I want ios 6 to come out soon, its gonna be fun watching people with ipads trying to use the turn by turn nav lol

Play Sony ICS removable apps

Hello all, I decided to write a little tutorial on how to remove system apps from the ICS official port by nickholtus and a list of wich system apps are safe to remove to make your rom way more smooth :D (Most apps are the same on other ICS Sony (Beta) roms)

Disclaimer: I am not to be held responsible for any damage you may do to your phone (wich shouldn't happen if you BACKUP)

Download root explorer/es file manager or whatever explorer wich supports root acces you prefer (titanium backup also is good for removing them, but it doesnt show the full app names wich I do in this list)

Navigate to the /system/apps/ directory

Select all the apps you want to remove with multi select

Choose move if you want to back up them up, and move them to a backup folder on your SD card or just delete them

reboot and done :D

-OR-

Delete them from the update.zip before flashing

Now these apps are safe to remove without losing any major features

If you found this guide or list useful,

​

If I forgot an app, mistyped something, or if you DO get system instability, please post!

also credits to CyanogenMod and Flo95 since I copy pasted some app descriptions from them, and to nickholtus for his awesome ICS port
[Xperia Play General] 3dawg:
Very useful, thanks.

Would you happen to know how we can get the default ICS messaging, phone, contact, email and calendar applications instead of the Sony versions?
[Xperia Play General] d_zen:
You could try to extract the apps from the CM9.0 rom .zip , paste them in the /system/apps directory and setting permissions to rw-r--r-- but I'm not sure since I haven't tried yet:o
[Xperia Play General] 3dawg:
I'll try that, Thanks.

EDIT: LOL I've caused boot loops. It worked for the calendar and Messaging applications, but replacing the phone, contacts, email and settings.apk has caused a bootloop lol.

Time to reflash..:p
[Xperia Play General] RiThBo:
Do you know how to remove the data disabled notification you get when you switch on the phone with data disabled? Thanks
[Xperia Play General] d_zen:
Just swipe it away, you can't make the message not appear (I think) since it is built in somewhere
[Xperia Play General] RiThBo:
Oh, ok thanks. BUt i thought i saw a rom which said that it had removed it:confused: Maybe Gin2ICS - i cant remember:confused:
[Xperia Play General] d_zen:
That's a gingerbread based rom, you could ask Vokal1992 who made it how he did it:D
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
Thanks, especially for the info on what they are.

I find it easier to delete them on a PC before flashing.

[HTC One S] id_twin:
So I will be returning the One S, albeit a great phone, back to TMobile to get my slice of the SIII tomorrow (last day of 14 day period) -- I have a general understanding on returning it back to stock, but as far as getting it completely back to the way I had it, maybe not so much. Anyone have a walkthrough on turning S-On and getting it entirely back to the way I bought it?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One S] RiffyDivine:
Did you flash a custom rom or just rooted and nothing else?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
relock the bootloader and run the Tmobile RUU.

job done !!

PS. You may need to revert to stock recovery before running RUU.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dunawayc:
I have ordered a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (I727) unlocked and plan to use it with Straight Talk using an AT&T compatible SIM card. My understanding is that this should work fine. My question involves upgrading the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich when it is available.

Since I will be using Straight Talk, I will not be an AT&T customer, but will be using their network. Will I get the ICS update when AT&T releases it or will I have to do something myself to get it?

I have never rooted a phone or flashed a new ROM and am not sure how comfortable I would be doing that. Would that be necessary to get the update?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Since it's an AT&T phone you'll probably get the update along with everyone else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ends:
You'll get the update. I've had to flash to 2.3.5 before and was able to go to 2.3.6 no problem. OTA still works. I'm on straighttalk

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ilan3:
Hi guys,

I started downloading an image attachment from the stock Gmail app, and my internet connection cut out. The ongoing notification wherein the blue bar just moves left to right prior to the actual downloading commencing is still there. I've re-downloaded the file, performed soft and hard resets, cleared Gmail's cache, stopped all running programs from the Task Manager, and the notification is still there.

Is there any way to rid my phone of the notification, save for a full factory reset?

I've searched this elsewhere on the forum, and none of the suggestions have worked.

thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ilan3:
I'm not sure what the "bumping" etiquette is on this site, but here goes nothing...

Hopefully someone can help me out.

Some more info - my phone isn't rooted. It's a stock Rogers One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ascendantjustice:
Try moving the file out of the downloads folder

Use a file manager (like "ES file explorer") to navigate to /sdcard/Downloads and move any files in there to a different location, like /sdcard/Music or /sdcard/Pictures. That should take care of the notification.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eddymonti:
What you think of 'Rule the Kingdom' ?

It seems like a great idea, an rpg + sim/simcity style game.

Its free to download.

The part that I think breaks the gameplay is the huge fremium portion of the game. It takes forever to do anything unless you spend crystals, which are extremely rare unless you buy them with real money.

But without the fremium, I think the game would be great. (I refuse to spend money on fremium games)

EDIT:

Haha, just found a huge exploit in the game, so now you don't need to to buy diamonds to speed things up :P

The game's time is dependent on the system's time. Meaning if you go to settings and increase a day, a lot of resources you were making just finish instantly (and you get the daily chest).

There are downfalls to placing the system's time back to the real time.

What I did:

Went back to the year 2001, used the diamonds that came originally, to heal my character. Now i'm playing till i pass the game. Safely advancing the time by day. When i complete the game, i go back to today's time and wait for the new content with a loooot of resources hehehe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] omac_ranger:
I will say it right off the bat, and it goes with ANY game on ANY console; I

despise

freemium and pay to win. They are horrible and just scam the customer. Even when you "purchase" a game and are able to buy your way through faster and better equipment. I had a game similar to that called MyCountry and I downloaded a cheating client so I could have as much money as I wanted and actually play the game. I can't stand those. Other than that I know quite a bit of people to play that game and enjoy it, so it could be fun. Who knows.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeBoX:
Anyone have suggestions for similar games, pref. with no pay to win / pay to get items ?

Been looking for sim games for ages ( civ like games etc)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderos101:
Or age of empire like game, or better still a port of space empires

Im surprised there are not more real time startegy games for android, as real time strategy and touchscreen controls seem to go hand in hand if done right
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] omac_ranger:
I am a big fan of the SimCity series and EA has a full on port of in the Play Store that is very well made. Very nice touch controls. Don't know if that's your sort of game, but I thought it was worth it. And i completely agree with the A full Touch RTS would be fantastic
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eddymonti:
Updated the original post with info to make this game free, not fremium. :P
[General Questions and Answers] eppo12-:
For those of you who have a Tablet. Do you think that it was worth the money? If you could do it again, would you still buy it, or spend the money on something else?

I'm wondering if i should just pick up the SGS3, and spend the extra money on something else, or if i should keep my SGS, and get a tablet?

I just dont want to get the tablet and rarely use it. I'm just curious, if those of you who own a tablet use it as much as you thought you would?

Thanks

T-mobile and AT&T are too different companies....so no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lart2150:
The skyrocket and gs2 for t=mobile are nearly the same phone so parts of the T989 rom might help us. the more important thing is it will start a clock for when the sources are released and that will help custom roms so they can compile their own kernels.

*Updated to Sensation fingerprint*

Can't download or even play certain apps or games such as Gameloft's N.O.V.A.3?

Follow the below steps to make your HTC ETO 4G LTE disguise itself as a HTC Sensation to get the best of the Google Play Store.

Tested working on stock ROM with Root and SU.

Modern Combat 3, N.O.V.A. 3 tested to work perfectly. All other Gameloft games should work and show up in market.

Please note, if you have a custom ROM, you probably do not want to use this. It will overwrite your ROM creator's settings. It will probably work, but it will take away certain features of their build.prop tweaks.

Users are saying that this kills Google Wallet. I cannot confirm this since I don't use it. Use at your own risk. Please update us if it does or not.

You must be rooted!

BACKUP YOUR CURRENT BUILD.PROP

1. Clear Google Play Store Data (Settings, Apps, All, Google Play Store, Clear Data)

2. Download the build.prop I have attached at the end of this post.

3. Unzip it

4. Use a file explorer such as ES File Explorer and navigate up to /system

5. Copy and paste it over your current build.prop in/system

6. Reboot phone

Clear as mud

*Edit*

Removed manual way to update (Hardcore DIY'ers can Google it)

Updated build.prop to HTC Sensation (pyramid). Apps were showing up before with the Galaxy SII build.prop changes, but downloaded files weren't compatible with our phone. Sensation makes for a better fingerprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Thanks for this! Only one thing:

People need to understand that if they're not on the stock ROM (that this build.prop is based off of) that they are risking losing whatever modifications their ROM devs added into build.prop.

Different devs do different things in there....blindly replacing your ROM's build.prop is usually a bad idea.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawdikrik:
True... which is why it's important to manually make the change to the build.prop on your rom. Takes a little work, but worth it.

If you follow these instructions, you cant mess it up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Meaning such as CM and MIUI and such? Anything based off of 1.13 or even 1.12 is OK right? Im just curious about that, thats all. Ive been wanting to plat Tigers Woods, and for a $5.24 game, im pretty pissed they wont even remburse me for that ****. Thannks brotha. Thanks to the OP as well
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Meaning anything that's not stock. Viper, PokeROM, Fresh, whatever.

Each developer tends to make their own build.prop edits. If you just make the changes to the stock build.prop that the OP attached and you're running any custom ROM you're overwriting whatever they may have done. Unless your Dev puts the change into his/her ROM, or someone makes a flashable zip for you, for your ROM, just grabbing a random build.prop and using it because it has the edits you want is a bad idea.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
I'm using Joelz9614 rom just manually edit. A safe rule is never paste over the prop when you can do the edits yourself if you're not sure if it's modded
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Oh and great post op. You're a life saver!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Exactly. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
One more note guys this will kill google wallet mine was still stuck so not sure about those already set up but changing your device to a non wallet device means no wallet. Just thought I'd add this though we are bound to see people ask about it anyway. Perhaps that can be added to the op
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BAttitude7689:
so i screwed up! i edit manually didnt work maybe i mis spelled.. and then thought i could just flash that build prop posted...and i had just flashed FRESH 5.0 and just kinda now read that i should have changed the build prop with that rom untill the developer had that built in.. any ideas what the hell i can do now?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
OPen the zip for the Fresh ROM, go to /system and pull out build.prop. Push that to your phone, and change the permissions.

Or, flash Fresh over your current installation without wiping.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] {ParanoiA}:
You could push the original build.prop to your phone from the Rom you are using or reflash

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fldash:
Won't Gameloft eventually make the market change so that the One-X variants are downloading the HD versions? I would only do this if you have to have it now...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] newfireorange:
You could reflash your ROM or ask the dev for this build.prop file to paste over your corrupted one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BAttitude7689:
it was a damn brick and i could even get to recovery screen... i did volume down and power and the bottom buttons would flash and then finally stopped i then press volume down and power and magiclly i got to the bootloader then the recovery and reflasheed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
You removed the changes that needed to be made manually? I applied the Samsung changes and now would like to apply the new sensation changes. I guess I'll dig through the build.prop and check which lines are different
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
To the OP, why would you remove the changes to the file that can easily be done manually??? It's a simple mod that can be done. Users NOT in the know will replace their their file with yours, only to end up with a mess because they are on a different rom that has somewhat different parameters than what's in your attachment. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Well I hope these heed his warning or perhaps the thread and they should be ok.

I have nova 3 now so I needed to do it before this it didn't work on my phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:

What's the difference between Evo LTE's Market and HTC Sensation's market?

I, obviously, understand Sensation has more.. but how and why?

Btw, I tried on stock rom. Can anyone confirm if its ok to do this on fresh or slim?

Thanks!

Edit: read a bit more above. Is there a few lines I can simply edit instead of having to change my whole build.prop? someone give me a clue please.

There was an easy to follow guide before the OP figured it was better to cater to people who are more likely to mess up their device by replacing their build.prop with his. Confusing I know.
