[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Don't look at me! I'm not one of those geniuses. You're talking about people like mattigroff, cellzealot, p3droid, dhacker, etc. Those are the guys who will crack this issue. What we REALLY need to solve this is the damn 905 FXZ. I've put out a request for it but I have no idea if I'll hear back from the person I asked or even if they have it. If we had that, we have a way forward.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zoompastu:
Agreed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Open source doesn't mean that you can change the finished builds of the software or roll back after you install an update, it just means that you can make your own version using the source. The OS itself is open source, but the phones don't have to be fully open, and none of Motorola's since the DROID have been, at least on VZW.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dougau:
The problem is your trying to talk logic while talking about Moto. Experience shows the two don't play well, people have been warning this would probably happen sooner or later throughout the ICS leak cycle.:o
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Well, some of us theorize this marks the end of the ICS leak cycle and represents what's likely to be the soak candidate, but, we'll have to wait and see.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
If it is, I sure hope it fixes the email contraction issue. These leaks are making email useless for me. It's taking everything I got not to install it.

But I was one of the peeps lost in no man&apos;s land with .893
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Patience is a virtue. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
I&apos;m not a virtuous man. I tried to go back to .905 and couldn't stay there more than a few hours. The smart actions are excellent.

WOW!!! I've been reading the shoutbox on droidHIVE.com and it's making appreciate all the work the dev's do. It's also making me glad I wasn't home when this leaked or I would be reliving my .893 debacle.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brainwash1:
What's wrong with email?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
you don&apos;t (don't) see it? :P
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wseyller:
Its seems the people with email issues are using MS exchange type. Not sure but it seems as if.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brainwash1:
Ah. I haven't had any trouble, but I just use Gmail like a normal person. :p
[Motorola Droid Bionic] twinkyz1979:
Might give it a go when i get the file downloaded then again maybe not
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arie_crent:
Ooooh, wait n see is the best choice, if we using this new leak we cant back to GB, damn!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] twinkyz1979:
There is a script that allows you to move forward now in case of 235 installations.

THIS WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO FXZ 902 / 905 BACK ONTO YOUR PHONE - IT WILL ONLY FIX ERRORS SO YOU CAN FLASH THE NEXT ICS LEAK

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778001 for more details.

Also, Warning: 905 FXZ has been released but will not work on your phone if you have 235 installed.

905 FXZ can be found here http://rombot.droidhive.com/roms/targa/fastboot/VRZ_XT875_5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC.xml/

905 FXZ ZIP file can be found here http://d-h.st/W6A which includes a modified XML files so as not to delete your data -

please read the README.txt for an explanation on which xml file does what.

p.s. I take no credit for these just helping out the community

Yea that was one hell of a day wasn't it? :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Hikenit:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Again? Can someone with cheesecake still on 905 take a look for us? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] caskieadam:
905 fxz ftw

Thank you very much for passing out the info on the .905 FXZ. This will save a time consuming step once the official rolls out and I need to go back to get the OTA. Much thanks!

Had to redo a few files in the original ZIP's i was using so just combined everything into one. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. i had an error in the system.img included in my old ZIP's. The new ones have been tested and are working. I apologize for the time wasted on my 1st ZIP's. I chalk it up to just not paying close attention on my part.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Yes, quite literally, a hell of a day.

.235 has a lot of little fixes, like updated tutorial videos, new IPTables files, boot animation audio controlled by the phone audio state just like in GB (IOW, if you power off the phone while it is in vibrate or silent mode, then the boot animation audio will not play on next boot)....

I still think we're a bit off from the OTA, but one user has been claiming to not only be a Motorola employee but also that he met a Motorola Dev who showed him .235 on a phone more than a week ago. So, we might be getting close....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
I guess we'll find out soon enough. I'll spend the day at the office with 235 and see how it goes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MARKREIF:
When I was on 232 the dialer was problematic. Did you notice that also and if so have you used the dialer often enough on 235 to confirm there are no issues?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] streetracer89101:
just idea what if we removed the security update part in the rom? replace it with 232 one ? is this possible
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Sadly no. timmy10shoes had that idea, too, and it's a decent one. The idea being just replace the cdt.bin with the old one. But it breaks the update if you even try and I'm told even if it didn't it still wouldn't work. Awesome.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] streetracer89101:
i know ital break the update and kill verification but i think its possible turn verification off change few things flash it if it dont work at least i can go back try again might try lil experimenting tonight.....u can go forward but not back its not bad but i like being secure
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
No it's more complicated than that. There's no way in stock recovery to turn off verification for one. LOL. :) But even if you could I'm told it still wouldn't work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] streetracer89101:
mby but hey they said humans couldnt fly and look .....cant hurt to try long as u can revert to stock no harm
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Once on 235 that whole "revert to stock" thing is more challenging. No FXZ. ;) We have methods we can use that should recover most situations but it's not foolproof.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Just_Jim:
Has anyone every tried to create a FXZ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Not possible to "create" one. They have to be leaked by someone with access to them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] twinkyz1979:
905 FXZ is out now if that is what you are talking about.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
I used the dialer several times yesterday and today and had no issues. But i also had no issues on previous builds either.

Yeah, that was the method that we used with the 5.6.893 -->5.6.886 revert. Sadly, it doors not work here. When my phone was bricked i tried that. It would not flash at all.

Yeah, eFuse cannot be disabled.

Good luck. I did mention that i bricked my phone trying all this, right?

Just want to make sure you're forewarned....

yeah, basically, you can fake the next update to think that you are on a .905 build when in actuality you're really not, and thus it allows you to flash a new leak.

Need Motorola signed files.

No. You cannot revert from .235, even with that file. I tried. RSD Lite and moto-fastboot both fail when trying to flash several dukes. And if you ignore those files, meaning you have a conglomeration of .235 and another OS version, your phone boots to the boot loader and reports a boot failure, and you can do nothing else, not even boot into recovery.

Believe me when i said it was bricked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
I have decided to take the leap. Not a chance of me wanting to go back to GB. I have absolute faith you guys will get moving forward in time. I was going to stay on a leak anyhow, might as well be this one.

GREAT!! It didn&apos;t fix the email contraction issue. Don&apos;t they realize this is completely unacceptable for business emails.

I&apos;m waiting patiently on BB10 with 4G and I&apos;ll be be ditching the &apos;ROID experience.

See how irritating &apos; can be? arrrrgh!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
Don't be angry with Android when you're flashing leaked, unsupported beta versions of the OS. You did this to yourself. Now your phone is stuck until an FXZ of ICS is leaked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
His phone is not stuck. We really do have methods to move forward to new leaks when they arrive.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] shawner47:
Just out of curiosity, have you tried a different keyboard?

I don't have this problem at all on mine running 232. I do use either SwiftKey (mostly) or swype so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.

Apologies if it's been said and I missed it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
Yes, I've tried a different keyboard to no avail.

Yes yes yes it's all my fault using a leaked OS. Blah blah blah

If you think these are accidentally leaked, you're wrong. (Self-censored)

I blame blackberry for not keeping up with technology. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] un1ocked:
any option change on the ##program menu?

the LTE option especially
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
I use Exchange and use the built in keyboards (both swype and stock) and also use hotmail via active sync.

I have tested touchdown, and enhanced email as well as the built in email app.

I have actually TRIED to reproduce your apostrophe issue and can't. I think it may be either a setting with how the HTML formating is being done on your exchange server (I bet your exchange admin is not using western character sets) or how you have configured your client.

I am the Exchange admin for my company so i can speak pretty intelligently about this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
I don't know much about that kind of stuff. I use network solutions for my hosting. I didn't have this problem until the ICS leaks. I will get on the email settings on the server and see if I can remedy it.

Thanks

Jim
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Vnvjeep:
I haven't seen this issue for a long time. I have 4 exchange accounts and a couple of gmail accounts with no issue. I also exclusively use thumbkeyboard with all my devices. I remember a long time ago that it had that apos issue, but the dev fixed it. My only complaint thusfar is the sluggishness with ics in general especially with the email app. But most other apps are slow to start up as well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
Jim,

The things to be careful of are any settings that configure HTML type message formats. Try going to plain text or disabling HTML in your message replies.

I don't think you did anything to cause this - I just think there is a random setting somewhere that is being missed :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] audiomixman:
Touchdown app works great with Exchange on these ICS leaks. It's $20, but there's a 30-day trial to buy you time until there's possibly a fix.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
I'm using a pop3 account. If someone is willing to explain to me in a little more depth, where to find these files I would like to try it.

Do i edit on the phone? or find the files in the OS, edit, rezip and flash?

Here is a couple threads I've found, one is a code fix.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20970-howto-to-teach-email-proper-contractions/

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24580

I just tried another email cliente (k9) and it fixed the problem.

Thanks to everyone that offered suggestions
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arie_crent:
Be patient to Waiting ics official really live :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
It's like I tell my wife, I don't drink, I don't drug, I don't gamble, I don't cheat.....if I wasn't constantly trying to jack up my electronics I'd probably do something dumb :what:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Vnvjeep:
Whew... K9 saved the day! That's one less dying blackberry in this world... ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] streetracer89101:
ok well what you guys think......take the leap or wait for next leak what if it has same security still stuck cant revert back but can move forward ....is it worth it? opinions? really getting antsy can we really still stay on update path if we do flash 235
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
The OTA build, whatever it ends up being, WILL have the new security. Whether it's 235 or not is anyone's guess. If it's higher than 235 we'll be able to move forward to the next build. I have a util that'll build the necessary boot.img for the new update using Matt's great instructions. Using that file, the House of Bionic or Matt's Bionic Unstick script can prepare your phone to install the next update. Since the security changed in 235, it's *LIKELY* that the security will be the same level on the next builds. But that's not guaranteed. Nor is there a guarantee that 235 isn't going to be the OTA.

So, to recap we have the tools to move us forward from 235. Once on 235 there's no going back to any previous builds. Whether that's worth the risk involved to go to 235 or not is a decision everyone has to make for themselves. I've been advising people to stay at 232 since it gives you the most flexibility. There are a bunch of us on 235 and have no problems with it. If/When we get a new build higher than 235, we'll see how it goes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] elreydotcom:
I made the move last night with samuri's script (flawless btw, if I could thank you again I would) and it is a great build. I haven't seen any issues so far. I wasn't planning on morning back to gb anyway, but I was hesitant because I wouldn't have the fxz safety net in case I did something stupid. Overall, I have been very happy with the move and wouldn't go back even if I could.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
We'll eventually get a new ICS FXZ so at worse you'll be stuck until then. But I think we should be fine.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] un1ocked:
just like the neighbour? droid razr

i hope that is true, there will be ics official fastboot images
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
There is always an official FXZ file for the current OS as the engineers and testers need to be able to return to stock current OS when testing new builds.

Getting it is a slight problem, though, because we have to wait until a kind soul leaks it to us.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
I'm really happy with the .235, if it takes a few months to get back onto the update path, no biggie.

Actually, I've seen a few Bionics locally on CL in the $125 range and am considering buying a back-up so I have one just to play with.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Or to see if you can get one that runs at 1.2 GHz... hmm....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
Oh. I stayed at 1200MHz (1.2GHz) according to CPU Master. It has been the same on all the ICS leaks for me. I didn't realize others were losing the boost.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Its not that some are losing the boost, its that some never got it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] amageus:
Some people are not going to get the boost. The 4430 processor was tested at 1ghz speed for the Bionic. The processor is able to gain speeds up to 1.2ghz but not all 4430 will have the same results. It's different for the Razr even though they have the same processor cause they tested the processor to see if it could handle 1.2ghz before slapping it in the phone.I think the processor's max is 1.2ghz with few getting over and some not able to get past 1ghz. Stability is at 1ghz imo. Wonder how many Razr had stability issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phoenixs4r:
Leaks seemed to have slowed. Hope this means official release is soon. Want my GFs phone to have ICS but she won't let me root and load it, lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
You do realize you don't need root to apply any of the leaks? :P

But your wife is a wise woman to wait :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JedixJarf:
Go get an iPhone
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phoenixs4r:
After the droid 2 global fiasco of it basically not working and me rooting that and loading custom ROMs that seemed to only work a week she's pretty much banned me from touching her phone, lol.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] djfuego:
Has anyone had a chance to try out these new Android Micro/Mini computers yet?

First impressions?

Would you use as your main media centre now XBMC is Android compatible?

They are the size of a USB stick usually with integrated wifi, USB port and HDMI port as well as a micro SD expansion slot. Looks cool.

coooool :D
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] bronzext:
Answer to the ques

Yh I know what you're taking about , the USB drives are trending nowadays but I hardly can figure out a reason for them with 1.0 Ghz and 512 ddr2 ram which I believe is the maximum specifacion those USB form factor can go. They’re limited to arm instruction set , which means arm software and not x86

so nothing will work instead of android , however I have heard of Ubuntu ARM port.But I believe installing Ubuntu or any other Linux on that USB will be hard to implement

and I think after you install ubuntu you can customize it to make it more like XBMC
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] brutoid:
They come in much better flavours than those posted above. I like this one:

http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G133999328931

It is basically the Galaxy S3 board with extra peripherals, more than enough for a decent low-powered htpc imo. Runs ubuntu pretty well considering there are no open source Mali drivers.......yet ;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] matt54:
awesome

That's awesome, might have to pick one up. Especially with XBMC and VLC for android this would make an incredible media solution.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] MemoryController:
Still not a bad choice but I want a S4 with Adreno 320

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Lyriz:
Im just gonna wait a little and see what else comes along, see room for improvement
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] hideokuze:
I think it looks awesome even compared with the $25 Raspberry Pi's out there. I'd like to get one, but then again I can use my GS2 for just about everything I need and it'll have more power. It'd be good to have one of these little guys in case I went to someone's house for a weekend or on vacation and needed a basic PC to browse internet, etc.

Good find none-the-less.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] JasonD416:
I've been following these a lot and so far have been pretty disappointed.

There are a few different ones, the best specs-wise being the cStick.

Always Innovating HDMI dongle (only selling to vendors I believe)

http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/01...eils-open-source-android-4-0-hdmi-dongle-stb/

Mini X Plus and/or Mk802 (my problem with this company is I was reading on their forums reports of both overheating and 512MB models being sold as 1GB).

https://www.miniand.com/products/Mini Xplus TV Box H24

Apparently the Roku streaming stick requires MHL-enabled televisions.

And the best I've seen the cStick has been delayed time and time again and so far haven't updated their status in months.

http://www.fxitech.com/products/

If anyone knows about any more let me know!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jishi:
I have been looking at cstick as well, but the lack of information makes me consider it a dead project.

I have ordered a Tizzbird N1, which is more focused on being a media player but will have Google Market (with custom firmware) and the possibility to run apps.

w w w.cnx-software.com/2012/03/08/valueplus-tizzbird-stick-n1-android-ics-hdmiusb-dongle-media-player/

They are claiming that they will start deliver in Sweden the 27th of August (postponed from 8th of August)

That reminds me of the Raspberry Pi, might have to pick one of these up!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] bradddo:
I have had a mk802 for a month or more. Its OK not great. Recently it doesn't want to grab wifi which makes it almost useless. Its laggy and for sale.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] x3maniac:
i'm also using the mk802.. had it for about 2 weeks now. didn't do much with it other then install XBMC for android on it. and a few pluging to stream my movies and shows. it gets laggy at times

i'm also using the mk802. und Raspberry Pi

both with xbmc

another thing, I have a XBMC on my original xbox, so your saying i could hook it up to that and browse internet thru the TV? i am sure i could do it with the 360 i have as well..
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] YellowApple:
Quite slick. I found this one on Amazon; definitely added to my wishlist to go with a shiny new HDTV for my living room.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Dtomasch:
I'm also considering to buy one, but don't you think it can very easily overheat?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] YellowApple:
Perhaps. Overheating is a problem for virtually any embedded/mobile device, though the tiny ARM CPUs like the ones used on most Android-powered devices usually only need passive cooling (a heatsink and nothing else), since they don't put out a whole lot of heat (unlike your typical x86 CPU, which will gladly hit boiling and beyond and fry itself should the fan be nonexistent).

In other words, as long as you keep your entertainment center relatively cool, there shouldn't be all that much of an issue, if any at all. That is, assuming the device is properly constructed. Reviews are a handy resource for examining what mistakes the manufacturer made and how they'll affect your use of the device.
