Slim ICS & Helly Bean

Yeah I would not go straight to Jelly Bean... try out ICS.

I have been using Slim ICS v4.2 as a daily driver for about a month now, no issues so far. Thank God, the Encryption Unsuccessful issue has not hit me yet. It seems to be random, so be careful. There are guides out there to get the phone running again, but those are for ICS. Not sure if they would work on JB.

Ice Cream Sandwich is much faster than stock 2.3.5 Gingerbread, don't know about 2.2 though. Though it does depend on what ROM you're using. I think the most popular ones are Slim, Team Nyx (ICSSGS?), CM9 and of course AOKP and MIUI (WeUI?). Jelly Bean ROMs include Helly Bean, Slim Bean, ParanoidAndroid, and CM10 nightlies (just off the top of my head, feel free to add to this guys).

I have not tried Jelly Bean yet as I am a bit apprehensive as well. I heard that Jelly Bean removes the datadata partition, and that screws things up going back to GB/ICS? Or maybe it screws up restoring Nandroids? Not sure. I mean, if I don't like Helly Bean, I want to comfortably be able to go back to Slim ICS. I think I will try a Jelly Bean ROM eventually but I may go back to ICS if it's slow/buggy/laggy. The developer of Helly Bean is DerTeufel, I know he's an amazing dev and more knowledgeable at this stuff than I will ever be, but I had a horrible experience using his Devil kernel with Slim ICS. Random reboots whenever I tried doing something "heavy" (like scrolling fast in browser). Semaphore kernel was better but it broke Maps and video playback. So I re-flashed the ROM and it's all good again.

Yeah, same here, I just got it this year (2012) so I'll probably have it for a long time! Android has come so far though, it makes me jealous, and I want the latest :D:D:D Thank God this phone has gotten awesome support from developers, maybe we'll have Android 4.2 and - who knows? - a 5.0 ROM or two :) Maybe I should learn developing so I can make it myself.

Edit:

Hmm, I thought Captivate only supports 32 GB? Maybe a custom ROM will support 64?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwcjr91:
Just about any ROM in the development forum is going to be SO MUCH better than stock froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoflung15:
I have enjoyed using slim ics and slim Bean. Both great roms..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_person1308:
I think the phone's internal memory is FINE. Just the internal SDcard is messed up. Since the system partition, and other OS files are in the internal memory, you should be fine with booting and speed. All that's messed up are the /data and /sdcard partitions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousgeo:
Thanks to you all :good::good::good:- particularly the guy who mentioned that a 64 Gb card wouldn't work. (I'm not sure it wouldn't - since some threads sounded like they were able to get one working...but...realistically...I'm not close to filling up storage anyways.)

Rooting went smooth (One Click Root), backups are pretty smooth-still need to test them. (Titanium, Pro version, not because I need it...just the developer obviously put in a lot of work...) A 32 GB microSD card is on order - Sandisk ULT Class 10 - seems to have excellent noncontiguous read/write speeds. By the way, Amazon had much, much better prices than the local Best Buy.

Y'know, some people are pretty aggressive - that's great. Other people...read every thread on XDA regarding the encryption unsuccessful bug before rooting their phones. Yes. Sigh. It would have been more cost-effective to buy a new phone. I did learn a few things though.

I'm confused. For Captivates, I thought the OS was typically stored on the internal SD card? And the Encryption Unsuccessful Fixes I've seen amount to partitioning the external card, installing a rom on the external card, and modifying vold.fstab. Um...maybe I'll just install a file explorer and have a look. Need to pick a good one - want exploration and chmod. There doesn't seem to be an explicit guide to running Helly Bean from an external card, (unless my search foo fails me), so I'll need to figure something out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_person1308:
Attached is a screenshot of several different folders in Root Browser. You can see all the different partitions.

The guy who made the guide for the Encryption Unsuccessful issue mentioned,

So I guess that means everything else is fine? And I think you install the ROM from the external SD card, not on it. :cool::cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britzb:
Well I have been running helly bean with/Devil kernel and it is a bit laggy at frist, but it's all about getting the tweaks right in the devil configuration set-up. I would definitely suggest going through ICS, and not go straight to helly bean/ devil kernel. I would suggest doc's ICS V12, and get comfortable using that particular Rom with the icey glitch kernel before moving on to helly bean/ Devil kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaelim:
May i ask how did you tweak the Devil kernel and what are your settings? When I installed helly bean i found it lags quite a bit (even with lagfree governor), so i returned to cm9 (which is virtually lag free)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hx4700 user:
I have my wonderful Nexus 7. I have my wonderful HTC HD2, which has a Wi-Fi Router capability. I use the router for my laptop from time to time. I'm not happy with current phone offerings due to pathetic battery and storage options, and unwilling to carry around even more spare batteries, hence the N7 was a stop-gap with more modern capabilities and a larger screen.

My N7 cannot even see the router. If i install software from the App Store, it can see there is a router but has a dash for the channel number, and a question mark for the strength. Nothing I can do will get it to connect.

My N7 happily connects to my home wi-fi and to hotspots when out and about.

1. Does anyone know of a way to connect my N7 to my HD2?

(If I installed Android on it, would it connect?)

2. Which phones has anyone successfully connected via to successfully use the N7 when outside the range of a land based Wi-Fi?

I have been able to connect to my friend's Samsung Galaxy S2 using its hotspot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcat007:
I use a Widgetsoid2 switch on my Optimus-v. My n7 connects with no problem. I seldom use it though since I have WiFi at home and work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JNeail:
Mine connects to my Samsung Focus Mango WM7.5 phone with internet sharing via WiFi switched the on. I had to dev unlock the phone to side load a few .xap fiiles in order to hack it and add the internet sharing option, as in was never enabled in the last update - works like a dream!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSimon:
I use my little Wildfire running CM7 with WiFi hotspot activated, works where ever I go
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xerox89:
I use my xperia S to connect to the internet .

I use bluetooth to connect to nexus 7 . Not sure what is the maximum speed tho .

If you have 1Mb data plan recommend you to use bluetooth thertering .

Android 2.3 above suport sharing internet . So you might want to find a stable ICS room for HD2 if you wan to do so .
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hx4700 user:
Thanks for that info.i have looked several times at flashing the phone wih somethong other than windows mobile, but never pluckex up the courage. Dont want to have to reinstall everythingif i dont like it or it is lacking. Eg some did not have the camera.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jann:
Just to say I have exactly the same problem - turn HD2 router function on, can be seen by all PCs around - but not by Nexus 7 - 'not in range'

Bluetooth connection does not work either AFAIK ... so tethering is out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Mateusz:
hd2 propably has adhoc sharing, nexus7 support only infrastructure, so it won't work. I have the same problem with my nokia n9
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [SIC]:
Think this qualifies as development ;)

Quoted:

We are now releasing a sensor framework, referred to as DASH (Dynamic Android Sensor HAL), as an open source GitHub project. This actually means that we are the first manufacturer to release such a sensor framework. By making this open source, we hope that custom ROM developers will gain a lot from using it, and we also hope to see the community of developers help us improve the framework by contributing back (which we’ve already seen from CyanogenMod team). In this article, Oskar Anderö, a Sony Mobile software engineer, explains how DASH works, and how developers can contribute.

OskarAnderö,Software Engineer.

A few months ago, we announced the open sourcing of the Dynamic Android Sensor HAL, internally called DASH for short. The sensor HAL is the software layer giving applications direct access to the sensor components. DASH was invented as a way to use the same sensor HAL implementation across multiple devices and hardware. When doing bring-ups of new Android platforms, we had to reinvent the wheel every time when it came to sensors. Nowadays, it is only a matter of enabling the sensors we need for that specific platform and configuring them according to their mounting and specifications.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] coolkaas:
let next will be camera sources and not need for Sony to release jb. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
The ICS camera libraries are on developers site. I don't know it is usable to JB....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [SIC]:
Damn I sure hope so, camera is one of few major issue what I know they've been struggling with on JB/CM10 for some time . :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] coolkaas:
no. this not help us. all developers of course know about the drivers.

quote from your link: 'This version is for Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).'

usually all HAL have deep dependence from operation system.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
So i got.this off of warranty repair and they said this got no problems. I had this issue before repair. After repair and even after jelly bean...

I have filmed a video on this happening and thought of "attacking" the store where i bought this. And forcing them to exchange my device.

I have seen guys having this problem a long time ago, but now its happening to me!

Have any of you had this...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikaole:
i only have this kind of problems when my display is not cleaned well.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
Ok thanks but i think this issue has been out for too long to have anything to do with how clean it is:)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
I haven't seen your video but I came here to post a thread about this. When not plugged into the keyboard, there are basically ghost touches perpetually, I literally can't do anything. I restarted and it's still a problem, but not when plugged into the keyboard. I'll repost if I can/can't figure anything out.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Disregard that its terrible even with the keyboard its taken like 15 mintes to type this does a factory reset help?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
I have done over 7 factory resets and no help it always comes back, but I started to think about the screen cleaness becaause this screen is very sensitive, i can press this with my nails and all sorts of cables. It also registers a touch even if my finger hovers over the screen so it would make so much sense if a small dust bit has landed on the screen and make it go crazy...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Wooooow..... I returned it 3 times to the store until I got one with a screen that doesn't bleed on the edges and has a working gps, and now that I can't return it to the store any more I'm getting this BS? It was completely fine until yesterday... If the factory can't fix the problem and return me a perfect tablet I'm going to lose my mind. It's already going to take a month just to send it in and wait for the repair/return........... How completely ridiculous.

There's NO fix for this? It has nothing to do with the screen cleanness, it happens all the time every time regardless of how crystal clean the screen is, and it never used to happen even when the screen got pretty messy. Any other ideas before I say goodbye to it for a few weeks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
Yep i think we both have a faulty device... think im going to ask for a exchange. :banghead:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffyreborn:
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ill try to make this nice and simple.

Carrier: Bluegrass Cellular

Phone: HTC Merge

Model: ADR6325

1. Not rooted

2. S-ON

What happened before:

I was playing an app (Dark Summoner to be specific) and the game froze up completely randomly. Touch, volume rocker and power button all unresponsive. I left it alone for a few minutes, no change, so I pulled the battery.

After replacing the battery and rebooting the phone (everything started normal) I selected the drop down menu. The phone then became 100% unresponsive again, so a moment later I pulled the battery again.

After rebooting a 3rd time, the OS didnt start up. The splash screen loaded (both the HTC screen and the carrier screen) then there was just a backlit black screen. Left alone for a few minutes, no change. Pulled battery.

Whats going on:

When starting the phone normally, it doesnt get past the HTC splash screen. It stays there for a few minutes, then reboots to the bootloader screen.

Whats on the screen:

*** LOCKED (OOW) ***

What Ive tried:

I have tried fastbooting, power down and rebooting normally, recovery and factory reset. Recovery and Factory reset seem to do nothing at all, both boot methods just send me back to the bootloader in the end.

What I want to do:

Besides getting my phone back to working order, I just want to keep my photos and videos, but since those are on the SD card, that shouldnt be a problem.

Thanks again for any help, guys! Ive searched for two days, but I seem to have made the mistake of buying an unpopular phone model. Needless to say I love having the keyboard, but will probably not make this mistake again.

1. flash kernel.

2. go to CWM.

3. Wipe data, dalvik cache, cache partition.

4. flash the rom and restart.

5. stuck!

Is there any step that I do wrong?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] &$m%M6:
Perhaps a Kernel problem... try to flash some other CM 10 Kernel.

You can also try to Format System before flashing the ROM, but, CM updater scripts check from build.prop, so you might need to remove the lines from the Updater Script...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Till-Kruspe:
what other kernel??

I already format the system before flashing...can you show me what line to remove...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kubekpop:
Try wiping dalvik cache AFTER flashing the rom. Sometimes helps for stucks and bootloops :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] &$m%M6:
Okay.. The cool... Nothing to remove.

anyways, you can try FXP 134 kernel. I do not have LWW to test.
