I preferred the manual entry. To each his own, I suppose. To an extent, voice-activated services are more of a gimmick than they are useful. I personally wouldn't feel like repeatedly talking into my phone, when I can more quickly do it manually. I see its usefulness as limited for my purposes. For questions that it can provide quick answers to? Sure. Everything else? Not so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devz0r:
I suppose the Siri method would be more advantageous when driving or during activities when you can only interact through voice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drakester09:
It's a point release. People should adjust their expectations.

It's good to see them addressing the criticism regarding OS smoothness.

Also such releases generally come with several bug fixes but a bug list isn't that exciting to announce nor as marketable.

I'm more excited about Jellybean than I think I was about ICS. Jellybean addresses all the reasons that people can have to choose iOS/WP over Android. Now it's buttery smooth, and it has a voice search assistant that is as good, if not better, than Siri. Google Now has me checking android news and forums every 30 minutes, hoping that there might be some sliver of Jellybean working on my I777, even if it is buggy as hell, even though I know it probably won't be here for more than a month. The interactive notifications are amazing.

ICS just seemed like a UI overhaul to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tory13579:
+1 however I feel even with Project Butter the general population will still flock to iOS/WP until all devices have Jelly Bean or higher. So what, 3 years? :laugh:

Anyways I do not care about the General population because I am not part of it. All I care about is whats on this Interweb Site!

In a perfect world the manufacturers and the service providers would drop their archaic practices and just let all devices run vanilla android updated direct from google.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enkdio:
Not a chance. The service providers have a vested interest in not updating so that to get the latest and greatest Android consumers need to get a new phone and in essence a new contact. Planned obsolescence and whatnot.

Remember this is a preview unofficial release. It is wat it is

If I was getting good battery with GB I'd stick with it. I'll stay where I'm satisfied with. If this ROM give you the new feature and good battery and amazing speed dev will release this as an rc not unofficial .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
There's quite a bit more to hitting the RC stage then just new features, battery life and speed.. By that definition this would already be a release candidate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaysix79:
I'm sure your right I don't know what's involve with rc release. I know people want there phone stable and fast with good battery life. I was just saying what most people want with their phone. And you can't really expect that with previews unofficial release.

I don't know if this has been discussed yet but,

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#i9100/cm10/next

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
What do you use NFC for anyway??? I've heard people talking about it on occasion (and I know what it is), but I just don't see it being that useful. For transfering Videos and pics to a friends phone that just doesn't happen that often for me to bother turning the service on. And for a credit card swipe, I can easily take my wallet out and swipe my card as quick as I could take my phone out, and swipe my phone... Not bashing, just curious as to what you're using it for haha

Yeah I've noticed that too. It'd be cool to have the fly effect for everything but it'd be a little weird in settings selecting brightness and then pressing the back key and having the fly in motion as if you just went somewhere new haha. Although on your behalf I will say that the mixing of the two transitions does look like a bit of a mashup. I'd prefer to have it more unifide

When the hell do you think they'll have HW Composer fixed. It took them like 1 week to fix everything BUT that, yet in a month they can't fix the composer? :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jrod091:
Someone in a thread once mentioned using NFC to automatically open doors at home with digital locks, like a front door or a garage door. You can also have the lights turn on and off in a room. You can set different profiles for your phone by programming some NFC tags. Basically get some NFC tags and an Arduino board and you can do a lot. I currently use my phone to open my garage when I enter my driveway and to unlock my front door as well and to change my profiles automatically in my car, at work and at home
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
Oh damn, that's pretty sweet. I had no idea it could be used for such purposes. Google sucks at explaining the entire potential expansion of a feature. Instead they described it (and I later read more on it) as 'being able to transfer videos from phone to phone!' lol. That's really useful actually, I'd still probably just keep my door tag, but I can see many being appreciative for the option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I always check off that NFC feature.

Besides the 2 reasons Vanilla mentioned above

+ opening garage door? when i pull my car in the driveway, I push a HomeLink button in my car and the door open. I don't use phone :)

+ digital door lock? Haven't had one yet. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jrod091:
yeah, but I don't have to push anything, just pull in, it's all automatic, just have to make sure NFC is on on my phone, lol, I know it only saves like a half a second, but it's cool for it all to happen automatically. Plus it gives me projects to do at home, lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcclausky:
Really hope we get it soon :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Oh, that's so cool.

Question: how do you close the garage door? pull the car out, automatically close?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jrod091:
Actually... no, lol, use the remote to close it, lol, oddly enough, hadn't thought to implement that... I'll order another few tags to test that out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jthatch12:
NFC is still a new feature. Using it for tags is awesome, not to mention Isis will be cool if it ever comes out for our device. I also use NFC to send stuff to my buddies. Theres alot to do with it, also from what I understand, leaving it on uses something like a half of 1 percent of battery life, so its negligable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
What the hell do you send to your friends? Like I'm not by any means anti-social and I'm also younger than 25, and send MMS' all the time, but I'm curious at this point. Like if I want to send a picture to someone I'll use MMS. If I want to show a video to a friend of mine who is in NFC distance of me...I'll just pull up the video on my phone haha. I don't see why it would be useful in the matter that it was advertised in.

Yeah I didn't really mean to say that I think it uses a lot of battery, but to me it is another service. And every once in a while when I go into my services to see what's running (google services :mad:) it just adds another to the list. Plus ram usage is usually like ~450 with nothing but system running, but after clear it goes down to ~350 before stuff re-opens. Makes you realize how all those little things add up. Just my 2cents on the deal. Doesn't actually matter though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jthatch12:
By all means, if you don't use NFC then don't. Like I said, I'm primarily going to use it for Isis when/if it's available. NFC is a simple shortcut for the time being, thats all. Like cars that have push to start, do they need it? No but since it's there use it. Let's keep the thread on topic though. If you want to bash NFC some more feel free to pm me haha.

What's everyones thoughts of jellybean so far? I like Google Now but it definitely needs much improving
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
Lol didn't mean it like that. I have no reason against it, I just don't get google's methods of announcing a feature. If they'd said you can use it to open garage doors and digital locks then I woulda been like "well alright!". Instead they said "you can share videos and pictures with just a tap!" and I'm like "k....." . Lol. I'm a fan of google now. Honestly haven't used it very much, when I was on preview for like 5 days I used it a few times a day and it worked and all, but one of those things I don't think to go to right away so if I need to look something up real quick I just use google. The traffic alert system sounds cool but actually doesn't really work. Anytime I go somewhere it tells me the report back, and then whenever I go to work (9-5 M-F) it never seems to get that THAT'S what I need it for haha. Works speedily and all though, but it would definitely be more USEFUL if it did more things like siri (random questions) instead of pulling like 85% of it's info from wiki, which are basically just factual things. Then everything else is a web search, meh. Unfortunately at this point in technology I'd rather just keep it off, since battery life is such a ****ing issue with smartphones. Data battery consumption is ridiculous. Phone works great with data off all day, but what's the fun in that?

EDIT: Jellybean as a whole, I like it, but until I see the HW composer fixed I won't care. All it is is new animations and a smoother scroll atm. And I only really experience the smooth scroll on CM kernel anyway. To be perfectly honest, I can't wait until the days of ICS base are gone. JB is off of ICS so JB likewise. GB was a milestone in my book, ICS was not. Next android version better have GB touch sensitivity back

Remember, it has to coincide with the Android OS theme of deserts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
The i777 is 99% similar to the i9100, the N7000 is also exactly the same, either one gets it and we have it and work on JB builds can progress (h/w composer). The reason CM10 preview came out is cause codeworkx made progress on the i9100 and that meant it was available for us as well, during the development of ICS for this device they should know the differences between the two and they are negligible
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
Lol jeez man. Yeah I don't think Kashi is a type of food anyway (one on the list). Key lime pie would definitely be a lot more legit. Candy cane is simply BULLSHIIT :p . Some half-assed christmas desert :p . But yeah, regarding the HW composer, that IS international, and October is hardly soon enough ;) . Not like it matters though, cus we're likely to just hellraise the shiit out of it and use it on the I-777 anyway.

Will the leaked galaxy s3 JB rom be of any help in getting the hwcomp fixed for us? or do we have to wait for an s2 leak/release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polatok:
S2 and s3 both will get jb soon. So it's worth waiting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
The majority of i777 ROMs, CM included, are based off the i9100 source anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
A leak would most likely be a beta or 'pretty much finished' official firmware/update/release. So yes, it would help. it would only be a few weeks or maybe a month until the actual release at that point anyway though so it's not a big deal if we do acquire a leak, imo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desiromeo719:
so couldnt they like sift through the code of the S3 JB leak and look for how to fix the hwcomp? sorry if this sounds noobish...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thatbigmoose:
I'm not exactly sure what the devs need, but just because the firmware got leaked doesn't necessarily mean that the source code did too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
Pretty sure they need S2 related code, since the S2 does not have the same hardware as the S3....I don't see why the Galaxy S3's hardware accelerator would work for the S2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thatbigmoose:
Yes but they're only required to provide source code for modifications they made to the Linux kernel that is used on Android under GPLv2. And even then companies take their sweet time releasing Kernel source codes. IE the i777 ICS kernel source was just released a couple weeks ago. The companies don't seem to have much respect for this license at all.

Android is licensed under the Apache software license.

Of course I'm not sure how relevant this is since it would seem the HWComposer code they'd need would be in the kernel.

By the way, much respect for you and the things you've done for this device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] frankos72:
Kit-Kat or Klondike are both brand names. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe Google has always chosen more generic desert names. So, with that in mind, Key Lime Pie would be a more likely candidate.

Google Now is not Siri and it was never intended to be. And given some of the changes some Android devices have already had to make regarding Universal Search because of Apple patents & litigation, I wouldn't expect to see too much more of Google Now as a full-featured personal assistant any time soon.

What it really is trying to do is to put information you need in front of you without you having to specifically ask for it, using your location, appointments already in your calendar, past Google searches, or whatever other information sources Google can draw on without specifically asking you.

I've never expected it to be the main way I interact with my phone, it's just a feature that throws out a variety of useful information -- the best route to work and back, the day's weather, etc. And it is very useful, once or twice a day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiquidNarwhal:
There's a slew of Gnex owners who are willing to say that Google now is far superior to Siri, as well as just about everyone I know. I don't understand what the guy means by you can't set appointments and such YOU CAN. you can set alarms appointments check traffic for gods sake there's not much more it can do.

you set an alarm not a calendar event is what I think he's referring to which means beyond 24 hours you can't schedule a CALENDAR appointment. :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sir_dwtc:
Having not used Siri, I can't speak for it, but I wasn't saying that Google Now is in any way inferior to it. I actually think it's much more useful to me than what Siri would be. I would almost never be interested in talking to my phone and having it talk back to me, natural language or not. But having information just show up without even asking for it is awesome, and thankfully Google has many more things in place to make that possible than Apple does. I'm looking forward to travelling to China in a couple of months and getting currency exchange rates, translations, and possibly public transportation info (although I'm not sure if the last one will really work in Shanghai).

EDIT: Also, Jelly Bean is awesome in general. The enhanced notifications, Google Now, and offline dictation are all amazingly useful.
