there is no word from president about multiwindow functionality..

I watched two times.
[Galaxy Note II General] snakkarike:
Even if its not there in the video i have confirmed it from local samsung store about multiview and they have said that indian version will have it should wait and see
[Galaxy Note II General] jahmeego:
that's good for all... but we have to wait for few more days(3). on friday indian store will have it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
Guy's,

I contacted Clove yesterday to get some clarity on this.

Today Clove have published a blog that gives information relevant.

See here for details
[Galaxy Note II General] JulyDerek:
I think all versions will have multi-windows. Its stupid to leave such a good thing out for some versions of SGN2.
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
Okay update from India. Tried a demo at a local store ... No multi windows. :( ROM version ALIE.

It's not yet available for purchase. Perhaps the boxed ones will have newer ROMs with multi windows
[Galaxy Note II General] snakkarike:
we r not sure if the indian version have multi window if it doesnt we have to wait for an update
[Galaxy Note II General] Xelstyle:
@SamMobiles

Samsung to update all Galaxy Note II devices soon for multi view option!

Exciting!

Can anybody confirm if they're still able to access multi view after using a different launcher?

Tested a Note 2 in cpw today and it didn't have the multi window feature

I tried to access it by holding the back button, is that correct?
[Galaxy Note II General] stoney73:
Same here, the one I checked didn't either.
[Galaxy Note II General] nitrowing:
UK owner, running ALIE - no multi-window using stock launcher or LauncherPro
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
Correct...... You need to have XXALIK (*#1234# on the dialler) and later to have the Multi View option.
[Galaxy Note II General] PokerPlayer:
Is it possible for anyone that have XXALIK to root it and install cwm then do a cwm backup zip it and share it so we can restore using that backup? Is this even possible or will this lead to a brick? Just wondering

[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I'm not too worry about this multi window thingy, it's coming for sure official or root.
[Galaxy Note II General] Xenoism:
According to this article: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/1...-2-units-arriving-without-advertised-feature/

It seems as though only some devices are being shipped without the feature....the article isn't explicit as to whether devices being sent to one area has a mixed batch of devices with the capability and others incapable, or whether some areas will have devices shipped with the feature and others will not. (It sounds to me like the first, which is odd and suckish). Needless to say, as Barondebxl said, I wouldnt worry about it too much if you are viewing this post since I take it to mean that you are involved in the XDA community and will have the feature either way through our awesome Devs. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
Samsung have said a ROM update will be available in the near future to add this feature to the 7100 international models that currently don't have this feature.

Even those who don't want to flash a ROM themselves will be able to do it via Kies or an OTA update.

ROMS prior to XXALIK do not currently have the multi screen feature.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jcossack88:
Yes! The Sprint version will have ALIO
[Galaxy Note II General] stadros83:
Hi there,

Do you know if it will be possible to add this feature to the first Galaxy Note ??
[Galaxy Note II General] kersh:
doubt it
[Galaxy Note II General] Deaj:
The N7100 I received today from Negri Electronics (U.S.) is running build .....LIE and thus no multi window. ....for now.

I had no doubt that this rather compelling feature would be added in a future OTA update. This works out ok for me s I feel like I have enough to play with for the time being. I look at it as something to look forward to. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] YakirOz:
For all saying the multiwindow is not present on the int' version... try holding the back key for a few seconds, the multiwindow option should come up. :cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] AjunNg:
You must think we're all idiots.

Or just trolling are you?
[Galaxy Note II General] Bilhouse:
WOW! IT WORKS! /s
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
The multi function is only in ROM build XXILIK and later. Samsung have confirmed an early OTA/Kies update for those with earlier builds.

Despite what the latest manual says, there seems to be no limitation on its availability in various regions and everyone should get it.
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Mine is LIH, no multi-window.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jcossack88:
H, I, J, K....nope it wouldn't have it. Only after K has it
[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
do you even have the device?
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
LOL.

Could everyone just stop working up those back keys now, it's pretty clear by now

1. That any ROM below ALIK does not have Multi-Windows and since most of them are being shipped with ALIE, your device won't most likely have it pre-installed.

2. Samsung will provide an OTA update to add this feature and perhaps more :)

Hi,

a week ago I buy a new Xperia S and upgrade it to the last version. Now when somebody calls me I can barely hear him, even if I set volume to the max during call. My schoolmate with same phone said he does not have this problem. Anybody knows how I can fix that? :confused:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CiscoX:
Hi.

I have run into a problem, all my friends are complaining about that they don't hear me so good as before.

Before i had stock ROM from SE . 4.0.2.A.0.42 and i did upgrade(new install) to 4.1.B.0.587 from Sony PC Companion 2.1.

After that i didn't had any problem, the microphone was good like it was before.

Then i installed Rage Kernel 3.2 and Real ICS Lite 4r, and after that i have big problems with my microphone. People can't hear me, they tell me that i sound like i'm 6 feet under ground.

So i did downgrade back to 4.0.2.A.0.42 and installed stock SE 4.1.B.0.587 and my problem was gone.

Could someone please help me to figure out why i have problem with Real ICS lite 4r or Rage Kernel 3.2

EDIT: Did the same with Real ICS r6 and MESA v.1.8 kernel, same problem :(

Best regards
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 4736004:
Try real ics r4 with krsh kernel or extended stock kernel.... This would probably solve the mic problem... Worked for me.

New OTA Firmware update this morning! Wind mobile finally released a new firmware this morning. 80+MB Download Firmware T999VVLALH2. Just the update with the screen briteness control in the pull dowm notification menu and i see new back buttons on the stock internet browser. amd some security/bug fixes. Finally we get this update it was released to wind mobile / videotron / mobilicity from samsung in the middle of augest and just today it was availible to wind customers ty. I think were one of the last to finally recieve this firmware Pretty said wind mobile!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
This is for Wind? Glad you guys caught up
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
Wtff i didnt get itt. Its prolly late. It depends where your locaationis right? Some receive it faster than others? Can you still get updates if your rooted? And this is greeattt newss Thanks for the update

Maybe the reason why this was late is because they fixed the browser hack fix that wss discovered few days ago?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyndro:
My phone is rooted, it downloaded the update OTA but CWM failed the integrity check and the update stopped there, the phone wont do it again and says to use KIES now, I'm not home to try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
Yeah ima do kies too. Does it wipe everythinf on ur phoneM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyndro:
The update states that it will not affect your data, but to backup your phone first anyways.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey! You guys got your update! Very cool! Im happy for ya!

And we already know they're working on jb! :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
I love this guy doc ^ hes always helping

Thanks dudee
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyndro:
Is there a well known way to apply the update on a rooted phone with CWM 5.5.0.4? I'd rather not have to spend the evening figuring out why it failed. I tried it twice and it just says:

E: Invalid command argument

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: Failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks! I do what i can! Ive learned a lot from this place and i do like helping out when i can. :)

Check /data/fota or /cache/fota for the downloaded update. If its not herer in settings> about, press Software Update to try to redownload. Copy it to your external sd.

Ive been told cwm touch will flash the ota for you without stock recovery. Never tried it though. I use Mobile Odin Pro. Or you can flash in stock recovery.

You can get voodoo ota rootkeeper on market and protect root before updating. After the update reboot and restore root through the app and you should be good to go.

You wont lose your data but ymmv witb voodoo.

If you want to do a fresh install and start clean you ca download the full fw from sammobile.com/firmware . Use odin or Mobile Odin for this method. Hope that helps!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
It would be nice if you updated the title so people knew which carrier.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyndro:
I appreciate the effort, I didn't find the downloaded update anywhere, but using KIES when I got home worked and re-rooting was no issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
My kies doesn't even "support" upgrade on my phone...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Do you have anything modded on your phone? Even just small build.prop mods could cause incompatibilities. Honestly just guessing here cause I dont ever use kies. Luckily anything ive wanted to flash was available other ways.

@all

If anyone gets the ota update notification on your phone and is willing to do a little extra footwork to help others out, consider doing this please...

Before starting the update, make a copy the ota file. I think its either at /data/fota or /cache/fota, cant remember for sure. But upload it to a file host like dev-host.org or mediafire.com so those who are having problems getting it can have an alternative.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] g026r:
This is the Wind Mobile /cache/fota/update.zip that showed up for me yesterday. Paste the next line as a link in your browser, since I can't post external links yet:

d-h.st/dGu

If you want to install it using CWM 5.5.0.4, you will need to turn signature verification off and remove this line from the zip's META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2can" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2can");

(It's what I had to do. Unfortunately I've been unable to get CWM to reinstall since then, so no root for me until I can figure out why it's doing that.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
Did you try to use voodoo to protect root before installing the OTA? That way you get root back after the update then flash recovery using the gomanager
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] g026r:
To my embarrassment, I completely forgot to protect root when going about installing the OTA. So the losing root is just my own damn fault. :o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
Interesting. I am having similar problems with rooting the jellybean OTA leak for VTR. When I flash the LH2 update, the jellybean leak would flash successfully right after provided I don't flash a new recovery.

The moment I flash a custom recovery and root then protect root and then try to flash the jellybean update, it fails almost immediately during the check process.

Is there any way to disable the OTA from checking and just installing right away?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You can flash OTA updates through CWM 6.6.1.2, but I don't think you can use the OTA updater from About phone if you are using a custom recovery. I will verify this method when the official JB update rolls out. Why don't you just download the OTA zips from sammobile?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] g026r:
Ah ha! Turning off "Auto reboot" in Odin and then manually rebooting into recovery mode immediately after flashing CWM allowed me to get a new copy of su installed.

It's back to the stock recovery mode after a reboot, but as getting root re-enabled was my main concern I think I can live with it for the time being.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Cool, glad you got it to root. To stop stock recovery from coming back delete these.

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Now reinstall cwm or twrp and itll stick.

(Or you can rename them. Add .bak to each and if you ever need stock recovery for anything just rename and reboot!)

Only the full fw is available at sammobile. Not the otas, unless I missed them somehow.

I guess Samsung putting their ota systems on hold affects the official otas too, not just leaks??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] g026r:
Should the second file be /etc/install-recovery.sh ?

(Looking at the content of it, it looks like it is indeed the one that re-installs recovery-from-boot.p )
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Oops, typo! Yup it should. Sorry bout that. Thanks for pointing it out. Just fixed it.

query: i was wondering if i flashed the CM9 ics for p1tab. do i just flash straight from gingerbread to cm9 ics? where can i get the gapps too?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
You know xda doesn't allow "best rom" question.

You try out the roms and make your own decision.

About flashing ics, you need cwm recovery.

Gapps here

Cm9 is ics.

Cm10 is jb.

Grab the right version.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvRS:
Sorry but I've closed this thread as has already been said, best/most stable ROM threads have no place on the forums as it's so subjective to opinion. Lots of people have different opinions and also just because a ROM is stable on one device it may not be on another as devices don't react the same.

As suggested try them out for yourself and find the one that's best for YOU as that's what matters ;)

Thanks

[HTC Desire S] cnkapadia:
Hi everyone,

I have a Desire S which i flashed a few days ago and installed Cyanogenmod 7.2, however I dont like that rom too much and I'm considering flashing the MIUI rom for the Desire S, I need to know a few things can someone please help?

1) Is the MIUI rom a good rom?

2) I have flashed using 4ext recovery to cyaogenmod 7.2 can i use the 4ext recovery to flash MIUI or do i need another recovery tool?

I read the instructions on MIUI website and they recommend flashing using revolutionary, so i am confused now, is it that u need a different tool everytime u want to flash a new rom?

Please help
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
1) Old MIUI (GB-based) is stable. New MIUI (ICS-based) doesn't seem to be from when I ran it

2) Yes - read the MIUI thread in the Dev forum and you will find everything you need in there
[HTC Desire S] dwking:
1) MIUI by all means is a good rom . There is no disputing that especially since they made use of kernel 3 which makes it much better.

You said that you were using CM 7.2 >

I dont mean to influence you in any way but I had honestly been sick of all the rumors about the desire s ics update so as to when it will finally hit shores and also regarding the carrier update timelines, especially since htc sense 3.0 made me dread using my phone. rebooting took nearly four mins on average.

After rooting i took the plunge and flashed a Jelly Bean rom ( currently using JellyTime CM10 Saga R10.1 | Unofficial CM10 With Kernel 3).In all honesty its one of the best decisions ive made. Project butter is a dream .

No lag whatsoever and free ram hovers around 250-400 as opposed to 70-220 when it was running sense 3.0. The only drawback Ive found is that the front camera doesnt work, which i think isnt too big of a deterrent for me.

Rest assured the dev (blindndumb) is already working on it. You can check it out on his site www.blindndumb.com . Also there are a plethora of roms available for the desire s

2)About the recovery part I cant exactly vouch for that, personally I've been using 4Ext and have no problems whatsoever. Ive flashed about 15-20 roms and have found no problems.

P.S

Also if you if miss the MIUI interface you can always opt for a MIUI theme. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853132 .

Hope i've helped :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Just to try and clear up a misconception here. Free RAM is wasted RAM. Having 300MB of RAM unused is no better than having 50MB unused.
[HTC Desire S] dwking:
Agreed, but basic switching of home launchers almost brought the phone to a stand still. Also gameloft titles compatible with the desire s often forced closed and suffer lag. I have no issues with it now.
[HTC Desire S] TatoValverde:
Free RAM is DEFENITELY not wasted RAM (unless it's TRUE FREE RAM, which task managers don't show)

Read the "RAM LESSON" in the OP

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Thanks for that - but I have always learnt the opposite. You have thrown a great article in there, but there are plenty of people far more knowledgeable than me who argue the other way to that.

A good example is here. This report was originally inteded as a discussion about the use of Task Killers on Android (something which I do not understand why anyone would use) but if you read the comments (there are a hell of a lot of them) below the main article then you will find that nobody seems to actually be able to say for certain one way or another.
[HTC Desire S] TatoValverde:
Yep, there is a BIG misconception about task killers.

Still, I''ve read just a few of those comments, and I think people keep confusing free RAM with unused RAM. For example, built-in task manager shows "free" ram, but that's only RAM not being used to cache apps. Below that, the rest of the ram available is always being used to cache system parts (many of which, sincerily, I don't really understand) which makes the phone run smooth. Knowing he ammount of "free" RAM required to cache all those system parts and trying to always have it available is the key to having a smoother system.

There are some "min values" of free ram that trigger the process killing, and in some roms (Venom Tweaks on chinese rom, for example) you can edit those min values. If unused RAM was wasted RAM, then those free-RAM-process-killing-triggering-levels would be close to 0, right? :confused: but still, they are something like 64MB default, so that, to me, is a little living proof that "free" RAM is not unused.

Anyway, in my head it all makes perfect sense, but it is hard to express it writing here, specially in another language!

EDIT: of course, I am sure that if I read all the answers, there would be people making much more sense than the ones I read. but there are thousands!
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Revolutionary is a tool to unlock the phone, not a custom recovery.

You can flash miui or any other Rom with 4ext, or a different custom recovery, like cwm. 4ext seems to be the most reliable and feature-rich recovery at the moment.
[HTC Desire S] cnkapadia:
somehow 4ext will not let me flash MIUI i wiped all the data, cleaned the cache and davlik cache and also formatted the partition as mentioned on forums of miui but for some strange reason after following all the steps on starting the phone it doesnt go further than the HTC logo. Can someone help?

Alternatively give me a link to download CM9 or CM10 for Desire S I cant find a link anywhere
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:

I'd suggest that you go away and read the MIUI thread and the stickies before you hurt yourself or your phone. Clue - investigate hBoot!! :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Did you unlock on htcdev website? If so, you have to flash boot.img over fastboot for every new Rom you install.

u mean i have to find the boot.img from the zip file of the rom i want to install and use fastboot to flash the boot.img?

[HTC Sensation] Repoman123:
Hello,

So at the moment my HTC sensation is running CM9 stable and although it's great and I'm not actually having any stability issues, the problem that is still making me keep an eye out for other roms is the fact that I always get poor battery life. No more than 2 hours screen time, ever. Even if I don't use the phone that much, the battery won't last longer than 18-20 hours.

I tend to use my phone quite alot for things like whatsapp, twitter, news, browsing, phone calls the most but when I was on CM7 my phone would easily last the whole day plus a little longer.

Although I think CM roms are great (they're the only one's I've ever used!) I do want to start venturing out of my comfort zone if it means I can have a pure naked stock android rom (I think this is referred to as AOSP?). I'm not interested in sense or any launchers etc, I like how CM lets me customise the number of home pages I have (I have set it to 2!) and would like to keep this simplicity going.

Can you great folks please let me know what you would do if you were in my shoes? Are there any other roms out there that will give me nothing but AOSP android on ICS (or JB) with the added bonus of stability and a good battery life.

Many thanks in advance :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Is there any reason you cannot test it for yourself? It is the only way YOU will find out what suits YOU

ICS AOSP ROMs are AOKP/CM9, JB ROMs are ParanoidAndroid/CM etc etc, just look through the dev section
