Giffgaff only do SIMs in the post and they are sometimes quite slow to arrive. It will be ok if you know in advance where you are staying (e.g. with friends of family)

It's also worth noting the reward scheme they do where if another member provides a SIM then both you and the new member get £5 credit. It makes a lot of people on the Giffgaff forum very keen to praise the network and help you get a SIM. I had one guy who has a stockpile of them offer to send me one in first class post when I posted complaining about delivery times.

I mention this because if you post up where you are staying, and ask if anyone is nearby who could pop a SIM around, you might get a few bites.

As for other pre-pay carriers, no idea sorry, I've always gone with contract until now. The big 3 networks (O2, Vodafone and Everything Everywhere*) all have high street shops where you can probably buy a SIM**. There are other networks you can try too. 3 are the independent one, but they're a bit crappy (almost certainly fine in London though) and any other mobile network you find will be piggybacking on one of the big 3 e.g. Giffgaff are really O2.

I'd probably go with one of the O2 based networks myself, but London will be well covered by all of them, so go with the cheapest!

*Created after the merger of T-Mobile and Orange.

**I really have no idea if this is possible, probably best to check in advance.
[Motorola Droid 4] silver6054:
Yes, you can buy SIMs in the store without issue. I bought Talkmobile ones from CarfoneWarehouse, which were the cheapest at the time (for calls to the US). At Heathrow, you can also buy SIMs from vending machines.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Hey guys you might wanted to check out the link in my signature. It's the original tool with some additions to jump from one leak to another, root ics and some other goodies.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
On both the ICS leak AOKP and CM9 builds (tried 20120709 and 200120713), I get com.android.phone force closing if I try to make a call after setting that build.prop setting, and without that setting I don't get data. Earlier this morning I just got a call with no audio in either direction.

This is weird as it was working fine yesterday. Stock ROM also works fine.

Thanks for the guide Lum_UK I think this has persuaded me to switch up my Milestone 2 for a Droid 4. I'm UK based so it's nice to hear it'll work fine.

One question: Can you recommend a supplier if possible? I can see someone on ebay but obviously it would be nicer to buy from a tried and tested source.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
The company I used were an eBay seller called Devices Now.

Phone was sent by UPS the same evening and got here in 6 days.
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
Here is a link to the ebay seller Device Now, I was buying from the same seller as the mentioned in the previous post.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
So now we can use GSM on droid 4 by only upgrading to an ICS leak ? I've found on internet (i think it was on droidforums) that we have to change radiocom, but apparently you don't ... ?
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
I guess for now updating to ICS is enough for GSM support, according to VZ they are enabling global roaming
[Motorola Droid 4] DevicesNow:
Hey Gogz_ we would be glad to accommodate you with a device. PM us.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Do I get some commission for promoting you in this thread and the other one with the Australian guy :laugh:

thankyou you've been a nice helping friend all along :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] watercooled223:
nice work

i currently have the paranoid android rom on my note

can i flash this rom straight onto my note or is the kernel wrong ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
good job sir!

im still looking into this initial root problem with my kernels but your method of flash after 1st boot will work fine :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cerebralassassin:
According to me i guess you need to go to a stock rooted GB Rom first

and then install it

or

as the instructions says if from another TW ics stock rom with a safe kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] watercooled223:
thanks will do that.

any ETA on the upload ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cerebralassassin:
yeah hope the problem goes soon...because..

you my friend have an awesome kernel out there :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
in case you missed it i have PMd you a patch to fix root-on-first-flash with my kernel :good:

hopefully you can edit and reupload for your first release :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jermitano:
great one mate! goodluck and hope you maintain this rom for a long run...cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] watercooled223:
can i flash the GB stock rom with CWM or do i have to use odin ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cerebralassassin:
My net is slow :/

it'll take quite some time

won't lie 2-3 hours but it'll be worth it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] linkenhtc:
Bro im really In to try your ROM.Im currently using Criskelo V8. How should I install you Rom ? Downlaod ROM and flash via CWM recovery , delete cache and dalvik and ready ? Im with LQ3 Version , 4.0.3 .

Thanks !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cerebralassassin:
you can use any method you like..as long as it gets you to a stock rooted GB rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cerebralassassin:
Read the OP-

yes you can install it if you are on a safe kernel..i recommend you to flash abyss first though then all the three wipes and flash it

it does have the smemo and snote apps.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] notegalaxy:
Wow I'm excited for this!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jacktackle:
if i'm not mistaken, if you are coming from Rocket Rom with Speedmode kernel, you try it without even full wipe. i guess it should take this Rom.

lemme try this and report back. how long do you think it will take for the Rom to upload?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cerebralassassin:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dominoes20:
I've owned and flashed a few Androids most recently gnex. But I'm a bit confused with what's happening here with the Note. Can I flash CWM this ROM coming from rooted (obviously) stock ROM. Would that qualify as a safe Kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shivil.sahni:
Is there any way to change the the of.android pattern........root wil b no prob
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dungeon47:
If I understand correctly, you want to change the pattern you draw for your pattern lock?

If so, just go to Settings>Security and do what you would do to enter a new one. You will need to know the old one to change it.

Also, this should really go in the Q&A sections, not General.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shivil.sahni:
Dude not dat i want to know the theme of lock pattern like pacman or smthbg
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sneppahtihs:
Does anyone have any idea where I could download the stock ROM for my Xperia? I had to flash a generic one in order to root my phone. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a backup of the original one. Now I won't be able to use the phone's warranty if need be.

The ROM I require is for a Polish carrier: Plus GSM (Polkomtel)

NEED OPINIONS?

If gamestop is selling the nexus 7 in stores beginning tomorrow (12th). What's to stop me from calling google and canceling my order, hopping in the car and buying one over the counter tomorrow morning? Problem? I'll call around to the gamestops in my area to see if this is possible. anyone have some insight for me on this topic? WILL IT WORK?
[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
no, order cancellations are being blocked. but you can return it when it does come.

[Nexus 7 General] rexdog1888:
I've been hearing that Google has been telling people that its too late to cancel their preorders at this point
[Nexus 7 General] mongstradamus:
I don't think gamestop is going to start selling them tomorrow. Google hasn't given them the go ahead yet.
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
Depends on what happens, if you have been following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737556 you would know that gamestop may or may not have received an email from google telling them not to sell tomorrow. Also a lot of people who called google to try and cancel have been told its too late to cancel and they would need to wait till after delivery, return/refuse delivery and wait a few weeks for refund.
[Nexus 7 General] cj250mills:
Thanks Guys

Thanks for the speedy replies, sounds like it would be a ton of extra hassle to go through this process. As a few others were saying, I wouldnt even care if it took another week to arrive at my door (it might).... I just want dates. :'(
[Nexus 7 General] dale_cooper:
Here's whats stopping you...

I'm 99% sure you have to be on a preorder list from Gamestop to buy one...

You're not going to stroll in to gamestop and just pick up a Nexus 7 off the shelves. Gamestop has already hit their national wave 1 quota from google. I preordered my nexus 7 on Saturday, the 7th and I'm on wave 2. With that said, I don't know how stores would have nexus 7's just available to a general consumer to come in off the streets.

Keep your existing preorder.....

I was thinking about going into gamestop to preorder it or wait until it comes out. If I don't preorder, do I still get the 25$ giftcard

Just flashed the kernel with the Blazer ROM, no issues so far. Great job guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Thanks for your hard work! Flashed with latest CM and its running great! OC to 1.89!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clownberg:
I have it oc'd to 1.89 -tried performance and ondemand governors-getting worse quadrant and antutu scores than with original kernel -any idea why ? i was getting 4900-5100 and 6600-6800 with original-now Im getting 4650 and 6050-go figure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
x2 ...... :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tarheelsmj12001:
Thats strange, I have mine setup for On Demand n im getting 5600 on Quadrant. Profile is 1890-1512 screen on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
what rom you on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
is teh phone lagging? freezing up?

im only asking because from my knowledge benchmarks dont prove real world performance, and even then quadrant has been the scorn of the android community for a long time.

im not saying that my kernel will perform better than stock by any means, samsung has team of developers who prolly have 5+ years in the business. im just a stay at home dad fiddlin my thumbs :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
it should hit 5500 in quadrant just from the OC if stock runs 5200 .. IM in no way dissing yer kernel i just dont understand whats wrong with my setup :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tarheelsmj12001:
Im on Blazers ROM. N I agree, if your Quadrant score isnt very high, I wouldnt worry too much, its not exactly the greatest benchmark imo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
i just flashed to blazer ill try again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] master acehole:
Umm so i haven't seen it posted yet is underclock supported on this kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
no idea if any apps can work to undervolt, im pretty sure i have to add teh **** in for voltage control. if you mean underclock as in lowering the cpu freqs then yes, every kernel supports this :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] master acehole:
Thanks for the quick reply shabby and thanks for the kernel also any chance of jellybean port wink wink* just like when you got ICS working on the S2 =D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
i cant get anywhere near that even running blazer can we get a screen shot? :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tarheelsmj12001:
Yea sure. How the hell do I take a screenshot lol

lol the ics on the e4gt was a leak nothing more :P

jez asked me to help him on his rom, so i decided to make a kernel samsung went with more of the normal android standard. I actually knew the format where as the e4gt has a weird samsung format :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
maybe its just my handset I know some OC better than others I guess :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kilawayne:
Where can I get the stock kernel just to have
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tarheelsmj12001:
Im gonna have to find the stock kernel also since my battery is draining pretty quick with the new kernel even when its underclocked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
make sure you set it to something besides performance, otherwise you wont actually scale it will just sit at highest speed

Man. This kernel has awakened this beast of a phone. This kernel plus Blazer Rom is ridiculous. I'm talking about as soon as you click an app, it's there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SemperFratres:
Was wondering if you are going to put CPU Temp in this kernel. The stock kernel (Sprint) has it, but have noticed that it is absent in this kernel. Would be great if you did. Also, are there going to be any more SD Card I/O Schedulers added?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petcojunkie:
I am running stick with this kernal and I cannot get the settings to stick using setCPU, have both slider to 1890 but when I let it sit idle on the setCPU screen it jumps down to 1136 then back up, even with performance governor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] carhauler1969:
Stock Touchwiz, mildly tweaked, on Kettle Corn v1.1, performance gov @1890MHz

Thanks ShabbyPenguin! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
hmm perhaps there is something im missing from the source then...

anyone mind pulling a file for me?

adb pull /proc/config

and upload that? perhaps there is some stuff not set in the source that is set on the version on your phone...

edit:

confirmed battery drain thanks to Flyers its not being set or going down from 1.8 no matter what... gutta figure this out, but on teh plus side everyone is overclocked :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] carhauler1969:
+1 would love to see the SIO & VR schedulers added, and some custom governors as well, especially Wheatley & Intellidemand.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G3n3Ra1:
Freaking sweet. Cm9 shows that ondemand gov is working. Goes from min to max appropriately. Android overclock also shows what I believe to be an accurate temp. It hit 40c while charging. One thing I did notice is that in stability tester it said ~900MHZ and would not change. Not sure if I can trust it or if it's actually telling the truth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
WTF I'm barely breaking 5k with this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] klarthur:
I too have noticed a decrease in my quadrant score, but as stated before this doesn't really equate to real usage. This kernel has been running flawlessly since i started using it. I also don't have the issues where my Wi-Fi would randomly stop working and I'd have to turn it off then back on. Great job on this man!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tarheelsmj12001:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
Could you please post the stock kernel (with the persistent custom recovery trick)?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I concure, even worse and the likely base of the cause can be seen that the load falls on the second cpu mainly. obviously the second should usually not even be active until the cpu load percentage exceeds 50 if it is loaded first it never shuts down

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jptesar:
Use root explorer or equivalent and browse to data/app and delete the file named com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex. You may need to uninstall titanium first and then reinstall after you delete the file. I can never remember and likely do it the least efficient route. :-)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] khrizg35:
No i just restored it and flashing blazer rom again no problem, just have to do more research how this works with Eugene's mod
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] carhauler1969:
Wiping /cache either from recovery or manually with a file explorer like root explorer will accomplish the same thing. That out of space error is because the Play Store download cache is full, which is on the /cache partition.
