[Streak 5 General] Ace38:
My screen totally died last weekend. It was already broken (1/4 of the screen was black after I had dropped it months ago). I've been shopping on ebay for months for a new screen or second hand Streak but it was just to expensive. So after it finally completely went black, I decided to buy a new phone. Nearly bought the Note. Would've cost me 350 bucks coz I still was under contract with the Streak. But then the salesman checked in his computer and he saw that I could also get a brandnew Streak for just 99 bucks.

He said that they don't sell them anymore but they still have them in stock.

So if you're Canadian and with Rogers and got a broken Streak, hurry to Rogers and get a new one for just 99$.

Just wanted to share this.

Since I cant ask in the thread directly... I thought Id make a thread.

It says media acceleration was added in the latest release, but I thought the official drivers were needed for this... and since LG hasnt released the drivers? How is this possible?

I only ask because im on hellfire 2.2 gingerbread and would like to make the jump over to the ICS since many of the issues are being sorted out.

Anyways if anybody can let me know, that would be great. Thanks

Chris
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wizshaw:
Oh! and one more thing.

If media acceleration has been successfully implemented... what about the domination release by Owain. Would that have it as well? That looks like a great release as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
Media acceleration is like the video player and stuff, it works. This doesn't mean the camcorder works, it doesn't. The camera does work though. And yes, its in any ics rom you find here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] breadland:
The media acceleration is good for video playback, it's just that you can't record with the camera. (You still can take HD pictures.) You should be fine as long as you use your phone for RECORDING videos.

So I have been using Deck's ICS ROM for quite a while now. I'm finally getting tired of the random reboots all the time. So I'm looking for a new ROM to use. Looking for something preferably not Sense, but Sense is ok. Wasn't a big fan of CM7. I basically want something that works smooth and reliable. Looking for suggestions. BTW I'm on a Boost Mobile Flashed Evo if that matters at all.

Thanks Ahead of Time!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocEsq:
Tommytomatoe's Classic (Sense and Sense-less as it allows you to remove Sense)

Deck's ReLoaded - Sense-less

Both I have found to be stable and fast.

MazWoz Beta 6, AOSP ics

Swipers MIUIv4, just look for the thread I started

CM9 - there's two different versions JMZtaylors and Mazdariders both are good
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfz616:
Thanks I'll check both of those out.

Not a fan of MUIU lol.

Thing with the ICS Beta's is I always seem to have issues. AOKP and EVervolv both gave me some issues so I'm kinda weary of ICS at the moment. Even though that's my favorite so far.

I'll see what they will do for me though. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asonicperson:
You might also want to check out SOS swaged out stock roms. They are pretty reliable because they are based on ota updates but tweaked to be faster. They have one that's is sense based but no sense UI

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
Huge fan of MikG. I finally updated to 3.11 and can't believe I waited so long to jump from whatever version I was running for at least half a year before that. It's so much faster and more stable.

I know it's a Sense rom but I use launcherpro anyway and make it look how I want. Love it love it love.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfz616:
So I tried Deck's Re-Loaded, its good but not my taste :silly:

Classic I couldn't figure out how to do the Sense-less but I didn't look to hard either.

I haven't even looked at MikG yet.

I'll check those out too. I read a bit on SOS but didn't get to much into it yet.

I flashed Energy Rom last night and it seems to run pretty good.

BTW Thanks for the replies guys. I'm new to this forum, from Phandroid, so it's nice to get some good help.

I've been having a issue trying to open my photos lately. I keep getting a icon of a contact peg with a flash/symbol or a lightning of some sort when I attempt to open some pictures. Pictures do show on gallery as normal, but when I open them the look like it's going to show then I see that darn icon. I tried all sorts of photo app to see if its the stock app, but its not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] debinnv:
Just got this phone and I love it but the seller on ebay had it rooted and had one of the roms from here on it. They said they would put it all back to stock for me. I like to start with a clean slate if you know what I mean. Well, it is back on gingerbread but root is still there and a whole bunch of other stuff (apps, roms, titanium backup) etc etc in folders on the internal storage. My question is can I safely get this phone back to being stock just like it was from the factory, without the risk of bricking it? I know how to use Odin for the Epic 4G and all. I knew there were some problems with the touch and some phones getting bricked. I have no clue what they may have done to the phone so I am a bit concerned to do anything to it till I hear from someone who has done this (gone completely back to stock) Also, is there a tutorial somewhere?? Thanks guys for your help with this.

Oh here is some more info if it helps looks like I am on Android version 2.3.6, EL29, kernel 2.6.35.7 there is some other info if you need it please let me know I do see a Caulklin's folder in there in the internal storage so most likely they did have that rom on there at one time. There is also a ACS folder in there but when I try to open any of the folders in there I get an error that there is no program that can perform this action. Grrrrrr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MochaCharok:
Hi.

When messing with Gingerbread, especially stock, bricks are pretty hard to come by nowadays.

Here is what I suggest:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

(from what you said, you probably understand this already)

Just run the EL29 OC. You'll be good to go.

In terms of the internal storage, just delete it all or run a format. You won't get yourself in trouble that way, it's just the internal storage.

If you're concerned about the data wipe brick, that is only on ICS. So since you're on GB, it is not a problem (and totally unrelated to clearing internal storage.)

Post back if you have any questions or anythin'.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
If you are on gingerbread then there is no danger of the EEMC superbug(As far as I've heard/read). As for reseting I don't have a link to a tutorial off the top of my head, however the process is pretty simple. Start searching through the development forums for the stock odin files and then flash them. I can try to find you a tutorial/links tonight but I don't really have time right now...besides the search function works the same way for you as it would for me! ;) Feel free to ask if you need anything else! :)

Hahaha MochaCharok beat me to it! :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] debinnv:
Thanks guys. The phone at one time was on an ICS rom and yes I can search for it. I just wanted to make sure before I did, that this could be done. So, I will see about finding the tutorial and how to go about getting the phone all back to factory like. I know I am so anal this way, but I really do like to start with a clean slate before I do anything to any phone. :) thanks again guys I will holler if I run into any problems. LOVE this phone though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
When you activated the phone on your account it should've wiped everything they had on the phone prior and reset it to stock. At least that's what happened when I activated a phone I'd bought from an XDA member. So I started with a clean slate automatically.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] debinnv:
It didn't for whatever reason. I had to go in and edit the MIN and MDN manually to get it to activate so maybe that is why. That thing was a HUGE pain to do too. It would not take and kept resetting. Had to try it like 5 times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
If you are stuck with what to do next then take it to a Sprint store and let them wipe it for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Good info

As I'm going to try this and hopefully get the missus off her Opt S and onto an E4GT this week this was good timing to cover the process.

Here's what I am planning to do:

1) Flash EL29 + Root

2) Factory Reset from Recovery (which should clear NVRAM if I understand correctly)

3) Call MVNO and have them set up phone

4) Allow hands-free activation to hopefully fill in the blanks

If this works as I hope then I shouldn't have to tinker manually with the NVRAM data.... if not then I have my phone to base most of that off of. And of course it depends if the carrier will let me set the phone up - in the past they haven't been warm to using a different phone unless you purchased it directly from them.

All this just to sit tight until we can get the GS3 probably next year.. yeesh.

I'd like to ask for your help with finding a Vanilla ICS messaging app that:

Works on our SGS2 (or, ideally, cross-device)

Handles merged SNS profiles correctly

Allows me to disable automatic SMS -> MMS conversion

Here's what we've got at the moment:

Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS by Tim Hutt

The only thing this port does right is that it works. Other than that it doesn't allow you to disable MMS conversion and it appears to be unable to handle contacts correctly:

ICS Messages by apptechbuzz

This one handles contacts correctly, but doesn't work. After having attempted to open a thread, the app crashes.

HTC Evo 3D 4.0+ Mms.apk dark themed by netwokz

This one is a true beauty. It does everything from looking slick through allowing me to disable MMS conversion and handling merged contacts correctly:

But it does seem to be missing the same dependancy as the aforementioned ICS Messages app, since it crashes once one tries to open a thread. Words can't do justice to how much I'd like to see a functional port of this app.

And that's about as far as vanilla messaging app ports I was able to find go. I hope some of you were luckier or savvier in this regard and will share their findings with us here. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] witiko92:
No suggestions? I must say I'm pretty disappointed. :confused: Are all of you just happy using the stock app or do you all use Handcent / GoSMS? I won't lie, these apps do fit the bill, but I personally find them a tad too bloaty. I'm looking for a single-purpose simple app which would do what's needed. You can't deny the stock Samsung app the simplicity, true, but it doesn't really fullfil one's needs - see the original post as for why I believe that is. The stock google app, on the other hand, seems perfect. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Brendo:
I'm in the same boat as you...

Was using the Andorid 4 ICS one, but keep going back to the stock sammy one as it does the job without issues. Just wish I could change theme (like in early gb roms) or replace completely with stock ICS

I tried handcent/gosms, but they did too much

If there is any Sprint employees or someone with the knowledge please let me know of I use the block text message option thru Sprint website does it notify the person they can't send text to that number or alert them in any way. Ok here is a scenario of what I mean I block a number for my sons phone so that he can not recieve or send a text to a certain number. When he trust to send a text to that number is he notifyed in any way? Or when the person with said number sends a text to my son does it notify that user in any way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
I have never used the Sprint service but generally it doesn't. You could always set up a Google Voice and try it though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I use this feature a lot for blocking both voice & texts.

When you block any number through the website the person who is being blocked has no idea. Your son can still text the number, he just can't receive a response. The only way he would know a number has been blocked from texting him is if he is standing next to the person, watches them text him but doesn't receive it. Then he's likely to get a hint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tubasteve:
I think you're wrong, but maybe I'm wrong too.

When blocking the number. If said friend is blocked it states, "this person has blocked you"<-not exact context. And if your son sends to said friend, it gives your son same message as well.

This might be though for 9999 blocking only.what i mean is

Text to 9999, "block #########"

Its going to send a message back stating its block status. You can also unblock the same way, and see the list of blocked numbers.

Has anyone else tried to purchase an app in the last couple of days using Carrier billing in Google Play? I have tried the last couple of days and while it shows my Sprint account when I goto pay, it won't let me select it. It is greyed out and all I can use is one of my credit cards that have been saved.

I am wondering if this has something to do with Google Wallet being broken on the Lte? Anyone else having this issue? I was going to call Sprint on my lunch break and see what they had to offer as well.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EABonney:
Well just got off the phone with Sprint. First it was supposedly on Google's end so I asked to speak with someone else. Next tech initially said that they no longer allow carrier billing and it stopped about three months ago. When I explained that I just used it over the weekend and that Sprint had just recently announced a partnership with Google Play for all store items she seemed confused and put me on hold. Then came back and said that my bill was behind so Google turned it off??? Next I informed her that actually my account is over paid by $80 she was even more upset and flustered. I thought she put me on hold again but she had just hung up on me. In the end she must have cleared my account as the apps I was trying to purchase I was able to.

Howto delete paired bluetooth devices ?

The simple way :

Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth setting

press 2 second on device you want to remove

Choose menu item Unpair

Make sure the device is off or out of reach

Scan for devices

Now the device no more appear in the list.

Unfortunately O3D keep secretly its configuration

If like me, you must remake the first handshake between your two devices, the simple way is not the right way.

To really get a fresh start at your devices pairing, you must delete, rename or move the file where is keep the configuration of all your bluetooth devices. (you need root privilege to manipulate this file). This file is :

/data/data/btips/TI/BtDeviceDb.ddb

It is a binary file than it is not easy to remove the configuration of only one device.

I know no hazard, but you may move this file securely and replace it at its right place to recover your old configuration.
