for sense 3.6 roms youll need dust 9

whereas for 2,1 you need dust 8.8

in my opinion dust 8.8 is more stable.

my wife has an S2 and i'm not sure if i want to mess with her phone and update it if it isn't worth it...she is technically challenged.

so i am wondering what the majority of you will be doing, switching to official ICS or stick with stock GB.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Don't update it. In my experience, technically challenged people don't appreciate it when their technology changes, sometimes even if the change is for the better. The phone works great on Gingerbread...if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
*crickets*

That's like going to a Chinese restaurant and only hoping to see pizza on the menu. ;)

Seriously, though. . .if your wife is happy with GB and is not particularly interested in, or adept at learning, new tech there's no sense in updating just to update. As for the "official" update, the responses seem to be all over the place. . .from folks who love it to those who loathe it and say they're going back to GB. It really all depends on how happy your wife is with her phone as it currently is AND how prepared you are to deal with possible problems caused by AT&T's implementation of ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] j510:
Complete stock here. 4.03. Personally I think you should go through with it . Like others have mentioned there isn't a big change in the user interface . So your wife shouldn't have trouble figuring things out since there nearly identical. You can help show her some new features she may like such as full screen web browsing, the new task manager ,screen display or data manager. Then again you can always set it up for her so she doesn't even need to understand how to "turn on the feature"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pyrolupus:
Aside from the phone OS experience, I'd also consider apps. If your wife only uses Browser and Gmail, then stick with Gingerbread.

On the other hand, now that ICS is "stock," I would plan ahead for developers dropping support for Gingerbread - at least in some cases.

Apps from mainstream companies (Amazon, Netflix) tend to be extremely backwards-compatible, while smaller shops may focus efforts on fewer versions, and once you can guarantee access (carrier-provided stock ICS), that's one less version to maintain.

For my part, I wanted to try out the Chrome Beta. Won't run on Gingerbread, so that's a no-brainer for me.

For the record, I do not run stock, but I used the above logic when I went from a Gingerbread ROM to an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
App developers have to consider the market. Currently (as of June 1) approx 20% of devices are running 2.2 Froyo and 65% are running 2.3 Gingerbread. Those two account for 85% of the market. Only 7% of devices are running ICS. Not too many app developers are going to give up over 90% of the market and make their apps specific to ICS. See here for details.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nednerbish:

Tried it and had some issues. On the subjective side I thought it didn't seemed as smooth as GB. Objectively I had some issues with notification sounds not working. Also the menu is different enough that it could be a little confusing at first for someone that doesn't like to mess with their technology.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rfb813:
I first Flashed the Stock ICS with CWM from AJ Newkirk to keep my root. The stock did not seem that much different than GB. I progressed to v6b of the Newkirk ROM with Touchwiz UX and other changes. Much more interesting. Then Flashed the new Shishir ROM with Touchwiz UX and the UCLE5 Modem and am experimenting with them both. Unless you plan on moving to the next level with the custom ROM's I would question if the update is worth it.

Thanks to AJ and Shishir for their hard work and speed to get their ROM's out.

I understood what you said. It's just the stock boot animation for nexus 7 is the glowing x... I pulled it from zedomax's system dump. Did you see a different boot animation somewhere?

oh. yes I did. I feel a bit silly now, anyway here's the one I was interested in..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akJb-rW1sLo

is there possibly another one in there somewhere? could be /data/local/ but we dont have that..

you could try /system/local/

Im downloading the dump right now anyway to have a peek.

maybe this one isnt released yet..

I dont think the one I linked to or the X are that great anyway.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jarjar124:

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SoHaunted:
It appears quite a few of you are confused with this boot animation, so lemme help clear the air.

The boot animation with the glowing X is the official boot animation that all N7 "retail" devices received.

The Google I/O "developer" N7 with the white back came with the I/O boot animation which is the floating diamonds.

If you want the diamond boot animation just say you want the I/O N7 boot animation. Saying you want the stock animation means the glowing x..

I never get a GPS lock how much ever time I wait, even outdoors. It doesn't work in the latest stock rom also. I tried various GPS fixes from the market but nothing works and I searched the forum too. It used to work properly a year ago. Please help...

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
1. Suggestion: Try GPS Status app => free from Play store.

Works fine on my SGS2.

2. Suggestion: Try to flash stock ROM, and do a factory reset/wipe data after flashing. Maybe there is something messed up in your ROM for GPS.

3. Suggestion: If your still on warranty, go the the store/service center and try to get a replacement. Maybe it is a kind of hardware defect.

Good luck !

NO IM SURE NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF GOOGLE EVER.

Anyways, I am in a similar situation and was going to make my own thread but I'll start here.

Been running stock 4.0.3 for a few weeks but wanted to flash touchwiz ux back on because I kind of missed it. So I rooted again and behold, sucked back in to flashing all the new roms I haven't tried.

Problem-and the reason I am posting this to general q&a- is this ; Across all the roms that I flash (slim ics , rootbox, rr 2.6 etc and 3 different custom kernels)- the GPS cannot get a lock.

When I revert back to my nandroid stock 4.0.3 cf root its fine. And TBH I could get a kick out of slim being my daily so I've been searching ask Jeeves and Bing (the only two searches I've ever heard of) and trying many things to no success. Could some one point me to a thread that has helped you if you've had the same problem? Much appreciated.

True. But I'm not so sure we can expect Google to keep that pattern anymore.

Case in point: excluding tablets, almost a whole year passed between Gingerbread and its successor. I know, Google still technically released a new version, but that doesn't really count. Honeycomb was just a stopgap to give the tablet manufacturers something half-usable to throw on. This is also probably the reason Gingerbread is the only version so far to reach anything past x.x.4, going all the way up to 2.6.7, because it didn't truly have a successor yet.

Google have said as much themselves.

To me, Honeycomb was more like a "stable beta" of ICS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aami.aami:
A little over than 9 months ago, Google unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich and now as it's successor came to live Android 4.0 is powering just over 7% percent of all Android devices out there.We'll now probably be treated to several months of rumors and contradicting statements from Google's partners before any updates actually make it to the market. We are still hoping, though that the step from ICS to Jelly Bean will be an easier one to make and Android 4.1 won't share the fate of its predecessor - becoming obsolete before even becoming the second most popular Android release.

at least after looking at the statement of the samsung's new CEO that samsung would now work more on the software side. i wish samsung provides us with a proper full Jelly Bean experience. we own the cream of samsung's lineup of smartphones. i hope samsung does it as soon as possible!

already owning a lot of smartphones from samsung and in ALL cases being disappointed by the late software updates from samsung, S3 might be my last samsung phone if it does not provide with jelly bean or postpones it too much...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex---1:
It's this bit from this article (http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-is-Coming-to-the-Galaxy-S-III-during-Q4-2012) that really pisses me off

"Also, lately Samsung has upped the RAM of the Galaxy S III to make the phone "future-proof" as engineers weren't 100% sure whether 1GB of RAM would be enough for Jelly Bean and opted for 2GB RAM."

Does that mean all people who buy the SIII in a few months get 2gigs of RAM and we're stuck with a measly 1gb???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
In that case they should make everyone turn in their device for a new with 2gb
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex---1:
I can't see that happening...

Though if they don't, that'll be the last Samsung I ever buy. You can't release a device, get 10 million odd people to throw a load of money on one then upgrade a component straight away because their engineers f**ked up with the hardware specs. 1gb of ram is shockingly poor given the S2 had that - It does not make the phone future proof at all. Whoever gave 1gb the go head at Samsung should be slapped with a fish and fired.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matttye:
If they don't release jelly bean for the 1GB version of the S3 I'll just have to sell my phone and get a nexus :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0brabg:
This is stupid do you really think that a international company that has been making android phones since the software company came out, wouldn't know that you would need more ram for the OS. Also how do you explain the fact that Nexus can cope with only 512mb. Total bul**** information if you ask me. Also ram on a phone is a whole different thing from ram on a computer. Ram at least on android is now mainly used for storing "active" applications meaning if for say u use s-voice a lot you will be able to resume the app whenever you want. This way you actually save more battery. And of course one user wrote: "unused ram is wasted ram" so basically those 2gigs are useless for the quad core (international version).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cappurnikus:
If anything, I see the international version getting it before carrier branded US versions. The RAM has nothing to do with it. Although 2gb of RAM may be useful down the road, it seems more like a marketing decision for now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Ya 2gb would be nice but hopefully with the JB release Samsung get memory management right.

For launcher redraws go to android.mimic.ca and follow instructions there, it changes oom priority of your launcher so Android doesn't kill it off. Or else use nova launcher.

Don't worry about the links, the reason I got pissed off is because its been posted here hundreds of times already, its the verges fault for making up stories.

I have JB on my gnex right now and its smooth as butter on the dual core with 1gb ram, 295mb ram used 405 free. It won't be a problem on the S 3.
