[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
The possible advantages are NVFlash, cm9, cm10, etc. At this time no CM, AOSP, AOKP, Paranoid Android, and so on for the JB bootloader. Everything ( rom ) is based on the stock kernel. It is being worked on but not ready for release yet. The dreaded i/o issue on JB and probably others.

If I were in your shoes I'd stay on ICS for now and wait a while for things to sort out. On ICS I'd run CM10 or Hydro for ICS. Those are just my feelings.

Take your time and look around a bit more if you have any doubts.

If you are ready then by all means go for it!

:good:Good Luck!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman918:
Thanks for all your help. I did go ahead and make the jump to JB. Currently on CleanROM but have no idea which of the "big 3" I should run. I suppose I will have to try them all and see. Wish there was a good pro/con list of each ROM that I could reference.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Great welcome to the club!:good:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
The biggest con of running JB is that Adobe has removed support for flash from JB in anticipation of forcing everyone to go use HTML5. You also cannot use the NVFlash method of backing up some crucial files as a safety net (the developers claim that using NVFlash makes your device brickproof).

I am still waiting for the kinks in JB to be worked out before I switch. I'm on ICS bootloader still and I can run a JB custom ROM (Baked Blackbean) just fine, so I can have my cake and eat it too. I can try out the JB changes without making a full commitment.

Just my two cents.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] photonkid:
Hi

I'm a software developer but I'm new to smartphones and Android. I'm thinking of buying a Touch Pro 2 because of its nice keyboard, good resolution and cheap price etc. As far as I can see it's going to do everything I want with Windows Mobile 6.5 but I'm thinking of trying out Android on it just to see what Android is like.

Is it possible for the TP2 to run the latest Android 4.x release or is it limited to the Android 2.3 Gingerbread series?

Does Android 2.3 have any significant advantages or disadvantages over using WM6.5 and the pre-installed Touch Pro 2 software from HTC?

Do smartphones have a "standardised" bios just like a desktop PC, allowing Android to run on any hardware?

TIA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
It may be possible, but no one has built a 4.x rom for the TP2.

I think that the software options are much better for the Android 2.3. Bluetooth has issues compared to WM. Would love to find a dev to work with to improve it.

Android is very modular driven. You have to change out the drivers, and kernel type based upon the CPU. It ports between similar hardware somewhat easily. From a dev standpoint it is not really fair to compare phones to PCs in my book.

For $50-$70 you can get a decent used one on Ebay.

*Edit*

Seems I forgot about this project for ICS. Unfortunately it looks like it has been abandoned.

Guys,

Am rooted now with SG2 GT-I9100 ICS 4.0.4, now how to flash a ROM step by step, then Kernel, then Modem? I did Nandroid & Titanium Backup and I want to add a best ROM for my device.

Appreciate your quick reply.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwhiteUK:
Pretty simple question here, I recently installed the three UK JB update on my unbranded phone (got confused and wasn't concentrating, but anyway...) anniversary noticed that when the screen dims and turns off, if I press the home key to turn it back on in the short space of time that you get before it auto locks, then not only does the screen turn back on but it also backs out of the app I was reading. Is anyone else experiencing this? I never had this issue on ICS.

I am using smart stay, but this happens at times like when I'm reading in the dark or have the phone on my desk without my head directly over it.

Cheers in advance!

Sam
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmc90:
Yep, it's a Samsung bug that I guess they haven't fixed yet...

Now the Bug is back and i really don't know why. Is there any working solution? (execpt to reflash everything)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theq86:
As far as I can see the bug depends on the lockscreen type and appears only, if you activated pattern locking and you have a relock delay.

Is anyone having issues with the auto brightness on this phone? I can be in a stationary location looking at the screen and it goes from bright to dim and back every 5-10 seconds with no change in the room lighting or input on my part. Just trying to determine if it is a hardware defect before my 14 day window closes for an exchange. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
Both GT-7000 & T889 did the same thing , thats why i disable auto option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slim837:
I just found this thread right after I posted the same question regarding auto brightness. Ooops my bad.

I guess I am not the only one having this issue. It is annoying isn't it? I had other phones that didn't do this. Now if our awesome developers can come up with a remedy or cook up a rom that doesn't do this. I'll be the the first one in line.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scrooge276:
Glad it is not just me. It is especially worse at night, the screen goes light to dark every few seconds it actually gives me a headache. I am using Lux with adjust on wake right now. Hoping there is a fix because a phone of this magnitude should have a working auto brightness feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scrooge276:
I decided to exchange mine yesterday and boy was it a good decision. The new one does NOT do this. If you are still having problems, return it if you can before your remorse Window closes. Good luck.

Not trying to start anything or get mud slinging, just looking for some facts. Since I'm running an older version of the ROM I'm wondering why all the threads are closed. I see he's still active on other boards.

Hi,

I recently found that my device info shows no PDA and CSC

Baseband is I9100XXLQ6

I have rooted and install custom ROM JB 4.1.2 SuperNexus Build 5 and a custom Kernel Dorimanx 7.4

My mobile is working very fine. no problem with the network / data connection.

But when I type *#1234# nothing happens. As I remember, when I was on stock ROM (original ROM with the mobile), I got the info @ PDA/CSC with *#1234#.

Should I be worried because there is no PDA and CSC ? Should I re-intall any stock ROM to get PDA and CSC back?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Of course it needs to be illegal to put cases on the phone. You putting a case on your phone affects the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of the device. The poor corporation has counted on that MTBF to ensure future profits for wall street shareholders (you'd replace when it breaks or buy the newer version). We can't get between the poor corporation and it's profit.

The corporations are the real victims in all this! :P :P

I'm surprised they haven't started a lease option for phones and then charge you based on mileage. Use the GPS to track how much the phone has traveled. :D Coming soon to a Verizon data plan near you!

The Jpeg Compression Can be manually set in the APK i managed to get the UI From Rotating but preview still rotates if the orientaion Sensor can be disabled the camera might be usable till then CameraPro Works fine if not better Minus the 3D part Plus you can Set Bitrate Frame Rate audio channels etc tried 60fps and 40k bitrate but it was in low light will try again see if it works im sure camera.omap4.so can be compiled from source

In GB i swapped base_image_app_m3.xem3 with the one from SU760 it also gave me upside down view so the prob is there if we could find a beta for p920 and get that file we would be sorted

Defcomg in this must be the solution!
[LG Optimus 3D] bether:
I think problem is at the communication camera apps with sensor.

Because the "Set Orientation" partially repair that problem.

Solution:

1. Download "Set Orientation" https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eyesfree.setorientation&feature=search_result

2. Run it and set to "Automatic"

3. Run any camera app and turn smartfone upside/down (vol+- on the bottom)

It's ALL!!

Can you do motion sensor calibration?

Hey Defcomg, did you ever find a way to invert the L/R on the camera yet. I find i'm still having to go into the editor and swap them before pictures look right. And the alignment still looks off a bit. I have to mess with the far/close settings as well. Almost like auto focus is broke on snap because l/r raw is reversed.

I have just installed team latest arc (rc1) camera and was wondering if I used the correct process. What I did was back up/freeze/un install the original camera and then copied the new apk to system/app and then changed the permissions to rw-r-r. It all works fine except the voice activation force closes and there is only one shutter sound that works (the other options are there but have no sound).
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
I may have diabled the other sutter sounds as for the voice shutter works fine here try clearing camera data make sure this folder exists in ur sd sdcard/mvoice/pcm
[LG Optimus 3D] saint_cow:
Cool, not too fussed about the shutter sounds. I have that folder structure but there is nothing in the pcm folder. I cleared the camera data but it didn't change anything. Should I try installing as a system app with titanium?

Oh and by the way the continuous shot mod is brilliant, loving your work mate.
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
uhm I usually just copy it over with root explorer but im sure that will work also.

RC2 UP i noticed Arc Camera Does not set the audio Channels i think it uses whatever is in media Profile.xml that gave me an idea will test it out l8r

The Idea:

Since Audio Channel is set in system/etc/mediaprofiles.xml if were to delete the profiles for Audio and Video Bitrate and sample right it might allow users to set their own profiles will look into that Later Happy Testing. Back to Studyin..........

[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
The video recording preview is ok after going into the last recorded vid/pic then returning back but the recorded video is upside down on RC2 for me. Is that so with you all too?

And this seems to fix only the built-in android camera application, in other applications that use the camera the preview is again upside-down, any workaround about that?
[LG Optimus 3D] kyanox:
I backed up the arccamera.apk, then copied your RC2 camera over to my system/app directory. Set permissions for rw-r-r and rebooted. I get FC when trying to go to video. Should I be doing something else this round to upgrade my camera. I'll try to logcat and post.

Tried reverting to my previous arccamera.apk and still getting the FC. Something else is going on. Is there another process I need to clear data on by chance?

Edit: Fixed the issue. I was removing droidsans.ttf and droidsans-bold.ttf to fix the Facebook issue. ArcCamera uses the font. Took my set system font and made a copy which I renamed to pretend to be droid sans and camera works. Hope this helps anyone having fc issues because of an earlier fix.
[LG Optimus 3D] speedyranger:
last version work fine for me. just one question: tone1 and tone2 is disabled. work only tone3... i use only tone3 because i like.:laugh:
[LG Optimus 3D] kyanox:
Would the gingerbread sources possibly reveal what we need to change on the SU760 source to make the camera function as it should? OR with arccamera is there a way to add a subroutine to post process the image its getting from the sensor and output the correct image to the screen / save files. Whom cares if its upside down and backwards if the user doesnt see it that way.
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
The Way OMAP CPU is diff from others the actual camera Driver is not in the Kernel but contained in the Ducati RTOS which contains Drivers ISP

All we need is a ICS Leak then we copy ducat-m3.bin and maybe camera.omap4.so then we good

the best we could do since T.I and LG don't give out the sources for the Ducati BIN/OS would be to compile camera.omap4.so with sensor Orientation at 180 there is however kernel/drivers/media/isp/ something might be done there also in the V4L2 drv i think

I will reanble the tones haha i went crazy and disabled a bunch of sounds :D
[LG Optimus 3D] kyanox:
Makes sense. I could probably decompile and reverse engineer the ducat-m3 binary but whats the point if ICS will be out soon enough. As far as the 3d camera goes mine is almost perfect. 3d seems to be misaligned now but not by much. I can see ghost shadows in the pics that appear that the way the program is reassembling the image alignment is off by maybe 1 or 2 mm's. Adjusting distance doesn't help either.
