Okay, I am seriously confused

just read one post saying someone got ICS over the air and to check the "manual update"

Who else has this? Might there be a full version now?
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
It's in the Andoird Services Menu, under the Phone sub menu. From the dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#*
[Atrix 4G General] dontremember:
Does the tegrapart change between ROMs? I was getting shaky graphics and tearing yesterday with the leaky ROM, but I re-flashed epinter's CM10, which is solid. In CM10, I got

tegrapart=mbr:1100:100:800

This is an AT&T Atrix 4G MB860 I've had since about last April

If it would help, I can restore the leaky ROM from backup and take a look.
[Atrix 4G General] jhonnyx:
Tegraparts are pieces of hardware d¿with a different "flavour" if you want to say it somewhat easy :)

And they defer on hardware, not software.

Post this on the development section as well because I think it's the most visited one
[Galaxy S II General] juanono:
That goes totally against forum rules
[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
I think that this is not such a good idea because this thread has nothing to do with development directly, that`s why I posted it in the general section, which is also visited quite well I would say because of the CM10 thread etc.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
How about you guys propose this as news for xda and spread the news on android news sites? And tech sites...
[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
Just did it on Engadget.com. Let`s see, maybe it`s worth a news for them.
[Galaxy S II General] Codrea:
okay I'm crying now and I hope samsung hear it and release source code ASAP. My butt getting hot waiting for it.

Samsung is responding to the SIII campaign. Lets get the SII some attention too.

[Galaxy S II General] Manitax:
Old news :p

Sent from my SGS2
[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
Actually that's what I'm afraid of, that they release the source code only for the SIII Exynos and not for the SII. But until now they haven't released anything of course but let's see, maybe if enough people cry then they hopefully will release something.
[Galaxy S II General] androidindian:
both the s3 and s2 use exynos 4.. so it should be fine i guess with the documentation. but let them say a yes.. they usually just keeps the hopes high and say no later. need to push them more!!
[Galaxy S II General] :
From Entropy's post in the CM10 thread they changed too many things between S3 Exynos and the S2 for it to be useful. Let's hope they release source code for both. Scarface you should make a thread in the I777 and N7000 general sections since they use the same chips and will be affected by this news or eventual developments, I'm a I777 user and only use my own ported i9100 ROMS
[Galaxy S II General] robertogl:
the audio maybe is the problem, s3 and s2 have totally differente chip...
[Galaxy S II General] skiflyer:

Huawei is not so bad as you think... or not ;)
[Galaxy S II General] boss_y:
Main problem with them is that they put a ton of different hw into one model. They use hw witch is at the time the cheapest. So huawei devs and custom ones have a really pain in the ass job. Let me say that the best of the devs is working on huawei u8800 and that is dzo. ;)

One word: NEXUS.
[Galaxy S II General] Kaar3l:
My next phone will be definetly nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] etherspin:
if I had to buy soon it would be the nexus 4 in 16gb but I'll probably stick with the S2 for a year and get the most affordable nexus phone available this time 2013 - unless too many android releases have gone by without trickling down to the S2
[Galaxy S II General] guynblue7:
Nexus is here..

But s2 rocks..:good:
[Galaxy S II General] androidindian:
Time for nexus coz exynos support will always be a pain.
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
I like Nexus Phones for the fact that they have the beautiful holo interface, they are updated immediately by Google, but I don't like the latest Nexus 4! I mean, it has no expandable memory, it has an LCD display (it can be TRUE SUPER ULTRA MEGA IPS +, but it is still LCD) and no removable battery! The back is in glass, so the first time you throw it, it will break! I think I will buy the next Galaxy!
[Galaxy S II General] Warhero141:
IPS > AMOLED for now even if OLED is the future.
[Galaxy S II General] juanono:
^^ this
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I have to disagree with you.

I don't think that IPS is better than AMOLED from a technical standpoint. It's just that Samsung totally ****s up when it comes to calibration. I'm fairly certain that IF Samsung takes the time to properly calibrate a AMOLED screen, the result would be incredible. However, it seems that Samsung is more into: "OHHH LOOK AT THOSE FANCY COLORS! IT'S SOOOOOOO MUCH MORE COLORFUL!!!!11!".

I mean, we *could* have true colors AND true blacks.
[Galaxy S II General] layercake87:
fmradiao in cm10 rom ? what happend? ^^

i also hope samsung wont screw the community away by not releasing the important source in a right way.

i also consider to buy a nexus phone since the hardware is often capable of more than it is at the time it is released and can be accessed by making some software updates. therefore google is the only company to provide long time and fast updates.

i love my s2 and sensation xe but its time for pure android experience

and screw you samsung for screwing me away with you developer support -.-

would be really nice if we didnt have worry whether we get key lime pie or not on the s2.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
- No Nexus device apart from the first Nexus One has expandable memory.I don't use my phone for music/videos so am fine with 16GB.

A 32GB Nexus would have been nice and it might be a dealbreaker for those who use a lot of media. Having said that there

does exist a workaround to get unlimited space i.e carry a USB OTG cable and USB drives. Bit clumsy but works.

- You get very good contrast using AMOLED's but LCD's are not too far behind.Many reviewers have said HTC One X looks

superior when compared side by side with SGS3.

- I agree with you on removable battery part, but I never carry a second battery so non removable is fine with me. Also this battery from

LG Chemicals is a new tech with 800 charge cycles so I don't think I'll need to worry about replacing worn out battery for a long long time.

- The back is glass and far more shatter prone, but Mathias Duarte has mentioned the precautions they took to make sure the glass is not

directly exposed on impact.Both front and back glass panels are made from Gorilla Glass 2 so you don't have much to worry.

Since Google doesn't sell devices via Play Store in my country, I am waiting to see at what price point LG gets the phone and buy if it's in my

budget.
[Galaxy S II General] Kaar3l:
Sold my S2 yesterday. Gonna go over to Nexus lines. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] shaunnicho:
Will you be able to buy new batteries with the new Nexus? Would you have to send it to LG or something?
[Galaxy S II General] drraptor:
It's battery is non-user replaceable. SO you can't change it on your own.
[Galaxy S II General] shaunnicho:
But would you be able to send it to LG for a battery replacement or will you have to resign yourself to a battery getting weaker and weaker?
[Galaxy S II General] drraptor:
I think LG will be replacing the battery. :)
[Galaxy S II General] compuw22c:
If you're afraid of undoing 2 screws, lifting the back off and unplugging the battery scares you, you're probably in the wrong forum ;)

Hi, is there any news about Sammy releasing the sources apart from tweets.

Everyone is so into nexus and i can't blame them. But I'd much more prefer Sammy to came around. I'm really looking forward to see an awesome s4 with exynos 5 series cpu (plus other top features fit for the S line). Whether they will make it true or not, well... We shall see.

Still all newer releases of Android becoming more awesome. I'd think 3 maybe 4 times before buying a new Sammy IF they keep their sources to themselves.

@Orginator, I'm not entirely certain but I seem to recall one of the devs saying they needed device specific code and what they were planning to release is useless... but I could be wrong. Hopefully I am lol
[Galaxy S II General] rockambole:
so, they're (theoretically) releasing sources for SIII but nothing for SII? :(

why is that? it should be easier to release sources from an "older" exynos, shouldn't it?

Or we can wait till end of november at least... and then judge. So please stop with posts like this, its only crying & whining... they dont even see it. Tweet them & maybe you will reach them. But they promise that it will release so give them a chance. I also would like to get source yesterday, but....if source is really such a mess then maybe this is the reason of not giving it at this very moment. So, patience is a virtue ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Rildiz:
Yeah about that....can someone clarify if they actually said 12 of November? Ofc I understand that things can happen to delay releases but Samsung Sweden promised JB for SGS2 this month, SGS3 JB is already out so I don't see the problem in releasing up to date drivers/hwc/hal etc etc for all their ex4 devices and no I can't remember that they said Origen board at BBQ.

[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
If they are going to release it for both the Exynos 4210 and the Exynos 4412 then the next question is, will it be usable or will it be broken like it is now. I mean what they release is probably not going to work out of the box (not device-specific), so devs will probably need to make it compatible to the actual device and if this will be possible, who knows?
[Galaxy S II General] robertogl:
The AOSP release of android 4.2 for nexus 10 is complete open source, excluding the gpu, this is good and maybe Samsung is going to release useful sources for us...

Yeah but it`s Exynos 5 and not Exynos 4 and the differences will probably too big between those two, so Samsung is the only hope, that they will release something that works on the device itself...

I've got an update from Mr. Kang HuiSung regarding sources for Exynos 4210:
[Galaxy S II General] ghost shell:
Noob question...

but hasn't Samsung already released the source code on these two sites?

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=I9100 (which BTW, the links are broken, and any help is appreciated)

http://opensource.samsung.com/community/community.do?menu=1&projId=67&model=1079

Is the request Exynos source here requested part of the initramfs that is unavailable?
[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
The stuff Samsung provides right now is completely useless because it is broken. Entropy512 said that the hwcomposer is broken and can`t be used and if you try to use it, it has the same effect as having no hwcomposer at all. The Audio stuff is useless and doesn`t work but thanks to Paul from the Replicant project who reverse engineered the Yamaha Audio stuff, we will hopefully have complete working audio on the SII and CM10 soon.

The stuff that Samsung provides on http://opensource.samsung.com is also almost useless because it is the bare minimum that they have to provide. At least Espenfjo was able to fix the Memory Leak with the stuff they had to provide.

If they going to release something useful, it will probably be released here:

http://git.insignal.co.kr/samsung/e...m/hardware/samsung_slsi/exynos4/?h=exynos-ics
[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:

[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
If the sources would work for ICS then it wouldn`t be too hard to implement them in Jelly Bean. The problem is, that they are broken on ICS too^^

At least that`s what`s Entropy512 said after he talked to a Samsung engineer at the Big Android BBQ

Nothing, either you get a response or you don`t. I wrote them several Emails and nothing has happened (no response)
[Galaxy S II General] Adam Hui:
So Sorry by this end of December... lol=samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
You've done a pretty good job with updates relative to the competition. You've also done well keeping away from locked bootloaders. I don't know why you don't release source code. You know your competitors have reverse engineered it the day after release, so only your customer base suffers. But I've also gotta say that SAMOLED screens will drive me away Samsung! I love the over saturated colours, but the IPS LCD's don't have screen burn in. I'm almost willing to do a 16GB Nexus 4 for that reason alone.
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
You know Samsung wont be reading this?
[Galaxy S II General] thteddieboii:
We might still get source code yet. Turns out the nexus 4 seems to have them scared. Apparently the specifications for the galaxy s 4 have been leaked. Just found some infohttp://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smartphones/1296094/samsung-galaxy-s4-specs-appear-online

So let's hope they are taking us seriously and going to release the source code we actually need and not this broken mess.. only time will tell.
[Galaxy S II General] Rildiz:
You realise they probably have some peon reading everything of this. Reporting to middle management who in turn is reporting to a higher step on the ladder and then in the end it will be reported as ~"everyone loves us, no need to change."

That is if they aren't busy trying to smell their own feces believing it doesnt stink.
[Galaxy S II General] elmig:
Nope. They're busy looking how S3 is performing on the market and working hard to develop they're next products. S2? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

It's a pity they didn't release the full sources until the S3 release. I believe S2 it's still a great phone which perform very well. While I eagerly look into CM10 dailies eventually I will move on when this phone breaks or became obsolete. Hopefully there will be an phone totally supported by free software. Very unlikely will be Samsung.

For a moment I even thought of buying an iCrap, fk you Samsung. I'm an apple hater and kind of Android fanboy.

Samsung don't give two ****s that a few insignificant people are complaining that they can't get their unauthorised, after market OS to work properly on one of their last gen handsets.

Offer them a royalty deal with cold hard cash in the equation and they'll send you the source like a mother ****er.

As that's not going to happen and as there is nothing in it for Samsung then apart from a few handsets and apathetic meetings with the Devs, that's all we're going to get.

Be thankful we have what we have.

Just venting, but yes I do feel there is some lickspittle somewhere reading a thread that is addressed directly to the company about one of their key policies. Remember how activism cowed HTC on the bootloader issue? We are a free focus group for them, and they're watching behind the one way mirror. They know, whether we're erudite or moronic, if we spent time to sign up here, so we not only are good customers, but also influence others purchases as well. Because of that, it's crucial that we provide thoughtful feedback.
