[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
That video Lokifish posted, is just about webtop... or at least the first few minutes of it (I didn't watch it all). I could have sworn I saw a video showing off the actual ICS on a Motorola phone... I can't find it now but I did find this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24073UmIlwQ

So far, looks about the same as what we got now with CM9, obviously with some Blur to it. And the bloat, I'm sure. And a four-way compass-style lock (north, west, east, south) with defaults set to all four.

I'm just hoping ICS on Razr/Maxx means we can get working camera/video drivers in the CM9-based ROMs soon. My wife's happy with Gingerblur and can wait a year plus until they get around to getting ICS on our phones officially. ICS really doesn't mean much to the average consumer.
[TouchPad General] deathsycthehe11:
I don't know why, but I still get random reboots. Been like this for a while. When I first updated to cm9, I flash through CWM from CM7. Since I found out it was better to use the acmeinstaller, I wiped everything and reflash with acmeinstaller. Ever since, I keep getting just random reboots. I even acmeuninstaller, used webos doctor, factory reset touchpad and did a fresh install. It stills reboots, sometimes even during the android setup screen. I even upped the minimum frequency to 384. Any help would be great. Spent too much time on this touchpad to fix this. Did countless wipes and different builds but same results.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApeironTsuka:
Has anyone built or made available a fuse kernel module (and any dependencies) for the stock Samsung Vibrant kernel? I haven't been able to find anything anywhere and I'm not sure where to go to find out how to do it on my own if need be. I was hoping to use it with a Debian chroot for sshfs support.

EDIT:

Apparently it's a lot more simple than I expected. Managed to find the kernel source for the official Froyo release for the Vibrant, which I expected to be a lot more difficult. Built fuse.ko (and attached in case someone else wanting to use FUSE from a chroot on a stock Vibrant stumbles across this thread) and tested it with sshfs and much to my surprise it all worked fine without much issue. Only thing I ran into was an annoyance with Android's design. In the chroot you must:

# groupadd -g 3003 aid_inet
# adduser <username> aid_inet

If you don't, you run into the problem of socket creation failing for every application unless logged in as root. You'll also want to add/uncomment user_allow_other to/in the chroot's /etc/fuse.conf so that you can mount -o allow_other.

Mounting a sshfs seems to be more stable and faster than mounting it as SFTP within a native Android application. File Expert, for instance, has a habit of losing connection to the remote host if thumbnails are on or you try to access an image in a folder with more than 2 or 3 through SFTP. Might be something in my set up causing that, though. Browsing the same directory over sshfs in File Expert appears to work fine, as does accessing images. Didn't test transfer speeds, but I'd imagine they're better too.

I used the Charing Cross app to test, and it was impressive for the number of satellites detected in my area which is partially blocked due to a hill, but it took a minute or two to go from accuracy of 260 ft down to 9.1ft.

On the official Samsung site, it says GPS, rather than a-GPS. I did test it here in San Diego - cached my area, airplane mode, reboot, and maps got a tight fix on me in under a minute (closer to about 20 seconds).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khandu:
Hey Guys

I rooted and put custom ROM on my brother's HTC Desire... It's an unbranded UK phone..

I have put Supernova Latest ROM and then had also s-offed via revolutionary and put latest radio 5.17.05.23

We both have same prepaid 3G sim.. My phone is iPhone 4S. his phone just simply fails to catch 3G/H network and always shows E.. my phone (iphone) always shows 3G network.. even multiple reboots does not fix his problem (or airplane mode on/off).. i think it did show H once briefly for sometime and then simple falls back to E and is stuck on E

I reverted radio to his original one (5.11.05.27) but the same thing..

How can I fix this? or is it that Desire chipset is just weaker than my phone..

My problem is when he returns to his country and puts his SIM in it and if he does not get 3G there as well (which he is sure of that he gets).. it can be a problem for me to fix his phone as I will not be with him

Any suggestions on how to fix this??

[General Questions and Answers] ilikepotatoes:
Okay, so after doing some research I've finally decided to buy a tablet. I'm stuck between the Transformer Prime (tf201) and the Transformer Pad (tf300/t) because they are both stock ICS (which I like) and quad-core. I know that the awesome Transformer Infinity is coming out soon but I don't feel like spending that much money on a tablet. I've heard that the Prime has Wi-Fi and GPS issues which is like a deal breaker for me (mainly the Wi-Fi part), and I would like to know if they have been fixed or not. If not, I'll probably settle for the Pad. Oh, and what's the difference between tf300 and tf300t? And finally, should I choose the Prime or the Pad?

Thanks a lot!!

However, CWM (5.5.0.4) doesn't seem to see my externalSD. If I go "Install zip from sd card"/"choose zip from sd card" it should show the external SD BUT it only seems to see the internal SD.

I've formatted the external SD twice, under Android settings/storage and also under CWM but no luck. Also, the external SD card mounts just fine in CWM but I still don't see it.

Update; I tried a different card (freshly formatted) - 8GB, same result though.

Any idea?

Backup Date is 1970-01-01

Okay, this is strange.

I just noticed that my Nandroid backups through CWM are dated 1970-01-01.

Can this be fixed?

Peter

Addendum: Also, if I try to backup my ROM through ROM Manager, it tells me, "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first." Yet, if I try to do that, I get a list of devices, and there is absolutely NO SGS3 on the list.

So, my dilemma, how can we fix the date issue and, if I could use the backup in ROM Manager, I'd be able to give the Nandroid my own file name with whatever date I wanted; however, at this point ROM Manager simply won't work until I install CWM, which is already installed, but the device list does not show my unit?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
First, I'd recommend against ROM Manager until it's vetted - it was NOT safe for many functions on the GSII, and I wouldn't be surprised if it had problems here. Second, use ES File Explorer, X-plore, etc. and you can rename the backup yourself. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Thanks, but ...

Thank you, but I am already quite familiar with how to change file names.

Also, ROM Manager works perfectly well on the International version of the S3. How do I know? I have one, and both the regular CWM-Recovery and the Touch version works very well.

It just seems strange that the current version of CWM-Recovery for the I747 version of the S3 has the date issue. I would expect such an issue could easily be fixed.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdbx18:
I'll second that. For the longest time, I have had filename/date issues with my SR via Rom Mgr or even CWM. So as part of my routine, I go back to Root Exp and rename the files to a more accurate timestamp.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EugeneR:
iPhone 4S SIM does NOT have LTE compatible data plan. SGS 3 is LTE phone. Data plan should be compatible. Call support (if not yet) and switch your plan accordingly on this SIM. Note, if you have grandfathered "unlimited" plan, they need to switch it to "unlimited" LTE compatible plan without any issues. LTE compatible unlimited plans are not available for new activations but available for CSRs to choose.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:

But, this would give root to the Samsung ROM, allowing for Titanium backup, root explorer, wifi tether, etc. This would be a great solution to those who like the stock ROM, just want the additional abilities that come with rooting.

In the store if you try to activate the phone with a iPhone sim it won't let you. It says "cannot be registered" or is not supported or something like that. You have to have a LTE sim before it will work. I was on the unlimited grandfathered in and they switched it to unlimited smartphone without any issues or hassle.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Use the guide in the OP - don't flash fixboot (unless you need it) - as he said, use the PDA flashing instructions but use this file instead. And note you will NOT be able to reboot into recovery. Once it reboots from Odin, you can use SU/root, and you're done.
