[General Questions and Answers] VirginIdeos:
Bump: Got it working. You have to flash Clockworkmod recovery version 3.0.2.7 onto the device, the latest will not work with the U8150 (should work with the U8160). I will throw up a how-to when I have enough posts.

But I'm still having issues: WiFi does not work, even though it is supposed to be fixed in Cyanogenmod 7.2. This is a pity, because it means I won't be able to stream video from my helmet cam to my Ideos without using the stock software pre-installed on the Ideos, which is very very sluggish. It already took me a lot of frigging around to be able to download the app for this from google play.

There is a wifi fix here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1177650 but the link to download Salsa Slide Final is no longer active (I'm not sure that the files would work with the Ideos anyway) AND the wifi fix flashable zip won't work because it requires an early version of clockwork mod recovery which will not work on the Ideos U8150. ARGH!! And I'm not sure that the zip would flash correctly onto the Ideos anyway. The only way this could work would be for someone to update the zip so it works with clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.7, and port the changes to the Ideos (if need be). Beyond my abilities, especially the porting part!

Even more frustratingly, there are people who are posting in the CM 7.2 Ideos U8150 thread whose wifi seems to be working just fine. Blast them!
[General Questions and Answers] VirginIdeos:
Bump:

If I had known CWM9 was out for the U8150, I would not have even bothered with 7.2.

So I've installed CWM9 on my Ideos. Everything works great, including WiFi :D , so I'm rapt. It is a little more sluggish than 7.2 in some respects, but much smoother and snappier in others, and the UI and startup screen are a lot cooler.

As an aside, the ActionConnect app for connecting an Android phone to the new Ego 727 helmet camera doesn't work fully with the U8150. I can connect with the app and change the camera's settings, but when trying to view the live stream, the app exits. I had to trick the Google servers into thinking I had a Samsung Galaxy S in the first place to be able to download the app (even tricking them into thinking I had a Nexus S did not work). I've contacted tech support about this and the compatibility list issue. I'll throw up a separate thread including the APK for those who are having trouble downloading the app.

I have UNLOCKED boatloader but S-On :(

i searched the whole forum to find a way to gain root without s-off , but I didn't find :(

I tried to flash CWM but it didn't work .. what should I do ???

This definitely works. Tested it myself.

Here is the link for recovery used to flash through fastboot: link

Extract recovery.img, put it in a folder where your fastboot tools are, connect your phone to pc in fastboot mode, open cmd, navigate to the folder where your recovery.img is and then execute this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

After that, reboot into recovery and flash su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip from the recovery (install from sd card option).

That's it.

I think Horn is deserving if its own thread here. Maybe we could share tips and tricks as we progress through the game. Try not to post spoilers though or mark them clearly!

Right now I'm pretty early on, just got the ability to forge. Not sure if I should forge a better weapon right now or wait.

How's everyone enjoying it? Favorite weapon type?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] noneabove:
Is it out ??? I can't find it in the market :S

Edit: nvm it was just hidden amongst horn apps XD

So your first impression, worth the 7$?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TheMuffStuff:
I heard its not working well with the nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SimPup:
Works great on mine. I've had a couple FC's opening the game but none at all running it. Runs extremely smooth. Played it for about 3 hours yesterday absolutely loving it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Search for zynga in the playstore, click on ny zynga game, scroll down to where us says more by zynga and select it. Horn should now be visible with the rest of the zynga games.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kangxi:
I think it is definitely work the $7. Very well put together game and it is working great on my stock device.

My only gripes are the method of moving and in some areas, the quietness. As in some areas don't have any background music. Everything else is magnificent.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] vtothet:
I'm loving it so far. Voice acting is great. Biggest gripe is it's too quiet. Other issue is horrible frame rate drops in the main city. I know the T3 can handle it better than that.

Edit 1: Seems that frame rate is unstable and choppy most of the time, except when looking straight up or straight down lol.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
First Impressions:

+ Worth the money

+ Graphic is great. Great scaling (huge monsters!) standard Unreal fluff (bloom, texture, etc.) are all there.

+ Story telling and voice acting is superb. In-game graphic cutscenes are great and mix with comic-style art is balanced.

+ Fighting control is intuitive and easy to learn. Or at least familiar.

+ Look control is great and customizable.

+ Lots of attention to details with the journals and info.

= Roam movement controls is a little odd, but fairly easy to learn

= Jumping and scaling control also has a learning curve, but it's a matter of preference

- I'd prefer D-Pad (a la Dead Trigger or Eternity Warrior 2) movements

- Related to above, no auto-path movement. If I'm standing at a corner, looking at the wall, and touch the other side of the wall, Horn isn't going to go around the corner. He's just going to try to run into the wall. So you have to look to your left/right, move forward to clear the corner, then look around again and move forward.

- Water graphic and other are not as crazy as the hype. No anti-aliasing whatsoever. Medium texture quality.

- No Exit Game button? Just hit Home button from Main Menu?

That's all for now. I'm sure I'll come up with a few more later. I barely entered the village and look around there.

For all experiencing issues with "license not found", launch the game from Play Store instead of the shortcut. Do it a couple times or so and exit properly (?), then try the shortcut again. It should work now.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] airmaxx23:
It's working great for me, if you look at the reviews on the Play Store it seems to get good reviews with the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bratfink:
It works great on my nexus 7, im using clean rom and motelys kernel. There's no lag apart from when changing area where it goes black for a second or two. In the first city i was walking around fine with no dropped frames.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kangxi:
This is a good example of what a Tegra optimized game should be like. Gameloft, I'm looking at you.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
How about a link in the OP:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Phosphor.Horn.Paid

It is a pain to find. Most Play store searches pop right now... but you have to dig for Horn.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kangxi:
Added, thanks. Once there are more downloads for it, it will shoot to the top when you search for Horn. That's usually how it works.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] simms22:
working well on my seven also
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
Here's more tipwith Unable to obtain license error: restart your wifi. It checks online everyone. If your wifi logo is grey, restart it. If you can't open the play store, restart it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ExploreMN:
My only question...does it have in app purchases, or once I buy it, is it mine and I'm good to go for as long as I play it?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nospin:
In app purchases are available to help you "cheat" at getting material to upgrade your weapons. Completely non intrusive, they don't hamper the game at all. You can probably blame Zynga for forcing it in there though.

Just finished my first play session and I love it so far. My only complaint has to be the water. Everything else is so beautiful, why skimp on the water effects?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] noneabove:
Anyone try using it with a controller such as an Xbox one ? Does it have that feature ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
Update: that doesn't fix it. Now i cant even start the first mission after the forge. Come on, dev, fix this.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] droidnext:
Just bought this game with my saved PS credit. I played around 15 mins so far and I love it. Awesome graphic and control is actually easy to use. I am not fan of FPS like NOVA 3, Modern Combat or Dead Trigger, it's just a pain to use on-screen button to play the game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chyrio:
hey guys i had my Otterbox defender and loved it but i switched to the commuter because i didnt need that much protection. but i really miss the clip on the defender it was perfect is there a similar clip that will work with the commuter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chyrio:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seidio-SURF...796069?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c29e287e5 i see that the seidio is similar to the commuter can anybody confirm that the clip light work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
I use the commuter as well and while it fits in the seido clip, it doesn't latch so if you need it really secure, I wouldn't trust it. I would either get the seido active with holster or the kraken.
[HTC Salsa] Vinith2704:
Hi Guys,

Sorry if i am bugging with the same old query of a salsa update of ICS or any update above 2.3.5!

Has anyone updated salsa above its official release via rooting to ICS or anything else? Is it stable or any faults or is it bricked?

If its is a positive answer, can you guide me appropriately? I am bored of the old version and seeing all the similar configuration sets getting an ICS, i am depressed. Please drop in your comments.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
lol. OK ill explain it fully for you below

1-HTC Dropped updates for this model 1 yr after production

2-HTC Stopped Production of this phone a few months ago

3-HTC will never release anything for the Salsa officially above 2.3.3

4-Any Rom that's Based on Official Salsa will be 2.3.3

5-Any rom that's 2.3.5 is a Port from another device, normally the Wildfire S.

6-Any rom that's 2.3.5 based either 2.1 sense or 3.5 sense will have faults and isn't fully matched to the Salsa so don't complain when something is missing or goes wrong.

7-The Salsa HTC kernel is believed to be OC'd already, so modification will be difficult but is being worked on.

Please think yourself lucky. There's 2 Working devs for this Phone...Me and razor...and I'm working my backside off trying to create things for you guys...My main purpose is to get a working CM7 and that's my mission.

If you want ICS you will have to wait a long time.....first comes a kernel...then comes cm7, after that..heavy kernel mods to allow cm9/cm10 (ICS).

Other than that my friend....change handsets if you want ICS

But honestly...there's nothing you can do...how you think the rest of us feel...I'm bored...very bored of this phone..but will persist till CM7 is on here....
[HTC Salsa] Vinith2704:
Thanks for the reply.

I consider this one what you said about salsa optimistically.. I consider it LIMITED EDITION :p

However i understand its config part and am worried, anyways i am wishing you guys all my luck to develop a CM& for salsa..

Wishing your mission to be a success at the earliest ;)
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
I'm new here and this is my first android phone, so I'm sorry if I'm asking something already said, but what stop us from port CM7? I mean, the bootloader can be unlocked, we have the kernel's source and it's the same android's version. I use Linux since 2007 and I'm a CS student but I have not found many resource and I'm not a genius lol. If I could help somehow I would be very happy, I bought the device two weeks ago (bad choice I now lol, I didn't know it was already old) so it's completely stock if you need to look up some config files lol.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
what's stopping us is the kernel files...as we have just found things are not as they are supposed to be...that's what's stopping us lol
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
Ah, the kernel's source from htcdev don't work? I thought it was all opensource.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
it does work, but as with other kernels, other devs have tried to adapt there modified kernel to ours...and it just don't wanna work.

this is why we have bootable cm7's but neither work due to the kernel not working correctly. ie touchscreen modules have to be corrected before the rom can be made to work. we are working on cm10 though in the development section, its gonna take time...
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
Thanks, now I get it lol. Yes I know, I watch the thread in the development section everyday :D.
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
Hey BigBearEvo I see here github.com/benjamingwynn/android_device_htc_icon_g that many data are missing, I gathered some with Android System Info, does this help? See the attachment. I'm sorry but I can't post in dev because I'm new here.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
It may help, it may not, ill pass it to the dev dealing with it. Thank you.

[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Contacted HTC

I contacted HTC atleast 10 times.... No info for even a small update on Salsa... So I've decided to pester their call center representatives with mails & calls. They are giving us some compatibility theory... fired a call center representative for that... I'll try to make them fall in line by mailing them time and again..
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
good luck...htc told me several time....they have discontinued all updates and service for this phone...the last thing we got was the kernel source code that's it'
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
M gonna send them a mail saying you can't be trusted upon and show some sentimental stuff till they give us some good stuff:rolleyes:... Let's see....... I'll keep everyone up to date in this.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Let all we salsa users keep troubling HTC by mailing them demanding a good kernel and/or an ics Rom...... What's ur take devs????
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Good luck lol

BigBear is using Xparent Tapatalk Purple
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Lets contact some bigshot dev.....

Was thinking if we can ask help from someone to help us out with the kernel... do u know anyone???
[HTC Salsa] kcl0801:
thought you have to give up, htc got much new phones to maintain, and they haven't finish keeping one x more stable yet

the only thing htc does right is release the unlock bootloader,

but i got to say this phone still sucks after unlock, root and everything make this phone better i did

IT JUST SUCKS
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
But still troubling them by mailing them is a good idea....

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

BTW can we get a kernel from some dev who makes kernel on xda network????
[HTC Salsa] karanparikh:
I guess that's exactly whats being done in the development section. BigBear and Darkhorn are doing just that :)
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Got something...

But it is a white lie. They told that they won't give ICS to phones like Salsa &Wildfire S... How did they give it to Desire C then??? It has got a worse processor.. I'm contacting them on this now.
[HTC Salsa] karanparikh:
Unfortunately, its not just the processor that determines an upgrade. Desire C has more internal memory than Salsa, that might be, one of the limiting factors determining ICS update for Salsa. 4GB compared to measly 512MB is shear lunacy :crying:
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
This is what I have sent{The Latest}

I have sent HTC this-

"I was quite unhappy to hear about the fact that my HTC Salsa will not get ICS.

1.Firstly, your Desire C has lower specifications than Salsa. How can it get an ICS or Jelly Bean ROM?

2.There is a big internal memory problem in HTC Salsa. If you call it a Facebook phone, for your information the original Facebook app itself is on around 12 MB. All other apps on the phone occupy more than 125 MB. This problem is for all HTC Salsa models around the globe.

3.You never release an update. This is so bad! How can you do so even when you have got so many complaints about internal memory? You can release an update for optimizing memory usage.

4.You are releasing models so fast as if the world is going to end today. I can accept the fact that technology changes but it does not so soon.

5.I feel so bad after seeing the fact that you are so non responsive to consumer complaints. You are never listening to any customer. There is no worse sign for a company of your reputation losing badly when it comes to customer satisfaction.

6.The last thing we on public forums want from you is a better kernel which is worthy of running ICS or Jelly Bean.

All the above points have led me to root my phone for better internal memory. This also discourages me from buying any HTC handsets in the near future.

Anticipating a proper reply,

Vignesh Iyer."

So what??? Salsa deserves better software.. If HTC doesn't give us software, they are incapable of making ROM and other stuff.
[HTC Salsa] theschneidi:
I also tried to contact HTC twice, if updates are possible for the phone or updated kernel sources. But I always got the same pre-built answer, that I should look on the HTC website. :( They never tried to answer my request correctly.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
The problem is that call center representatives don't respond well. I am searching for the ID of service head of HTC wherever he is hiding and give him a bad dose...

BTW which country do you live in???

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

You see, the point is we should term our requests very strongly. They must be forced to give us some info. We should also not tell them that we are on some forum. We must put our demands straight and ask them to give us mail ids of higher heads. They are the people to contact and not call centre nutshells,
[HTC Salsa] theschneidi:

You are right. ;) The Salsa is very young, so HTC should think about their customers, who bought it for a lot of money ( BTW me for 279 Euro :( ) .

[HTC Salsa] karanparikh:
Nice work Vignesh, Great to see your resilience for our beloved phone.

In the reply they said , - 6. We have forwarded your feedback (for the Kernel code for HTC Salsa, to enable customers to use ICS on their devices) to the technical team and they should work on the same. We request you to keep yourself updated on the developers site for the release of the code. That would be great if they actually do what they just proposed. :confused:

It is unfortunate that unlocking/rooting is the only way left to harness the full potential of Salsa and others devices in the HTC stable.

Waiting for their reply eagerly. :angel:
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Yes, I was so excited when I decided to buy a Salsa but eventually realized how big the issue is with the internal memory. However after having rooted my phone and constantly being supplied ROM's by BigBearEvo, I feel satisfied. However the callous nature of HTC has been a troublesome fact.

I hope HTC stands by its promise by giving us a kernel now.

Will surely keep everyone updated.
