Joining in on the MIUI talk, Glitch 12 with MIUI 1916 on my Fascinate is amazing. I think my battery life has doubled (of course glitch 12 undervolts the screen from 3 to 2.75), the drat torch works now, and it feels smoother. Never going back to that Touchwiz stock bullshit.

Are there any known fixes or workarounds for this (other than only using one account of course)? I have four accounts on my phone; two work Apps, one personal Apps, and one straight GMail since Google apparently can't be bothered getting all their services working right with Apps accounts. Everything's supposed to be tied to my personal Apps account, but Market keeps deciding that the GMail account is more interesting. wolrah fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Oct 4, 2011 |

FInally got my Epic 4G Touch rooted. However, I can't use tethering with my touchpad. I'm using a beta version of Wifi Tether and despite all the settings I try, either the network won't turn on or the touchpad can't detect the network that does work.

You may need to change the security setting to WPA2, or try the latest stable build of Wireless Tether. I might even try Barnacle Tether if it still doesn't work.

I just noticed my video recorder sound seems to be broken, is that a known N1 nightly issue? I'm re-installing RC1, I like the little fixes, but I feel like there's no compelling reason to be on nightlies at the moment.

I'm going to get my mom a T-Mobile phone and I'm looking at older ones since she's cheap (despite making bank). I'm looking at the LG Optimus T right now, are there any roms/kernels that will boost the battery life? She won't be using it for the apps that much so I want to make sure it will last her at least a few days.

RC1 gave me too many little problems, and having the swipe unlocking screen with lockscreen audio controls appear before my screen pattern lock made being on a nightly worth it. So far, though, I don't know of any reason why I'd go newer than 200 yet, though.

I just got an AT&T SGS2. I have it rooted with CWM flashed. I'm wondering if there's any ROM recommendations. I had CM7 on my old phone, and I liked it but I don't want to make my new phone into my old phone. I really like CM7's lock screen gestures to open apps, and using Golauncher EX (I like being able to hiding apps). Is CM7 my only option? Or are there other decent ROMS? With CM7 what is the compatibility like? I know it's similiar to the international I9000 version, but there's enough difference to make it a little off.

You have to set a few things to be killed on boot and wifi calling is irritatingly resistant to any attempts to not have it load in the background but for only 1ghz clock I'm pulling some excellent benchmarks via Antutu. Right around 3000  Vellamo scores me at 748, right behind the Evo3d too. Battery life kinda sucks but I assume that is because it's super juicing the wifi chip. I can be roughly 100 feet away and still hook into the router inside, as opposed to Cyanogen which dropped in 30 feet. Still a drat sight better than the life I was getting on 1.39. The V9 kernel is very well written. MC Hawking fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Oct 5, 2011 |

So what's kind of the timeline of what leads to cyanogenmod being built on ICS? Does google open the source up to everyone immediately after the nexus prime goes on sale? And after that what's involved? I understand a good bit of android driver type functionality for interfacing w/ hw components gps, sound, radio etc is done right in the kernel? They will have to cook up kernels for all the phones? can existing things that make a desire hd GB kernel work on a desire hd be easily ported over to a desire hd ics kernel? Are there hw drivers outside the kernel? will existing gb ones help? or will everything have to be built from the ground up? The extra stuff cm provides, lockscreen gestures, permissions management, renderfx etc. Is that stuff sort of bolted on to aosp with some apks or is it pretty well ingrained/coded right into android system files? In short: when I get? Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Oct 5, 2011 |

If your phone is fully supported by open-source software, it shouldn't be too long after source release before you start seeing some sort of builds (though not necessarily CM). If there are binary drivers involved, you might have missing or partial functionality on some components, particularly if the component is buggy and causes problems on the open source driver. An example of this I think is the GPS in the Evo, where we all had massive problems on early CM7 until I'm pretty sure the CM team just gave up and bundled the HTC-supplied driver. I don't know if they ever got it working reliably on a fully open driver. It is of course promising that Cyanogen is with Samsung, I'd expect that means he's had his hands in the ICS code for some time. wolrah fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Oct 5, 2011 |

Wagonburner posted:Does google open the source up to everyone immediately after the nexus prime goes on sale? Worse, the AOSP source repos have been offline since kernel.org was hacked over a month ago. Most people probably don't care about that since that's "old" code, but I somewhat routinely check changelogs for repos I don't have local copies of and that really pisses me off. I supposed they might be mirrored/stashed elsewhere and the links on source.android.com not updated. But between this stupidly-long-outage and the Honeycomb debacle, it's my impression that Google/OHA doesn't give two shits about AOSP anymore with Android's present popularity. I mean, the platform isn't going anywhere so why bother? Wagonburner posted:And after that what's involved? For other devices it's tough. There's AOSP (and CM) kernel repos for each of the major Android "platforms", Snapdragon (msm), Hummingbird/S5P (samsung), OMAP (omap), Tegra (escapes me), etc. But I don't know how many of those are going to be updated for ICS in AOSP. Nexus S covers samsung, Nexus Prime omap, and Xoom tegra. But there's no official ICS/AOSP Snapdragon device to my knowledge, since they're dropping Nexus One support (right?). Meanwhile, third-party manufacturers will release kernel sources for individual devices as official ICS ports happen, which may not be for a while. So it's a tossup between porting device support from GB kernels, or folding in manufacturer ICS kernel support when those releases happen. In short, the kernel situation is likely to be a giant clusterfuck for a while, which it already is for recent GB devices. Wagonburner posted:I understand a good bit of android driver type functionality for interfacing w/ hw components gps, sound, radio etc is done right in the kernel? And yes, there's proprietary kernel drivers too. Usually for things like 3D/GPU acceleration, but could frankly exist for any riff-raff component depending on the phone (e.g., the SGSI's proprietary storage stack). Kernel modules are kernel version specific, so they can't be dropped into ICS kernels. If the ABI subset used by proprietary modules hasn't changed much between GB and ICS, they might work by hexediting vermagic. If not, it's pretty hosed. At that point one hopes for a leak of an ICS build of the proprietary module from a "similar-enough" ICS-supported device. Or one backports enough changes from the ICS kernel to the GB one, so that a GB kernel can be used with ICS. Pretty much at that point, people just do poo poo left and right whether it makes sense or not, just to get the drat thing to run.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Any .apk in /data corresponds to an installed application. You need them if you actually intend to use said app. If not, why not just "Uninstall" them through "Manage Applications"? Oh okay, I was under the impression that those were the apps that would be restored if you did a factory reset. I don't believe the ringtones are part of an application. They came with a fresh install of cm7 so I'm hoping that deleting them will not affect anything. edit: well poo poo, I guess I can't remove the ringtones through that method either as they appear to be system protected and my interest to remove them stops there. Oh well, there goes my trimming the fat idea for making a nandroid backup as small as I could get it. Not that I need the space, I just didn't like seeing system restore 500 drat ringtones I never use so figured removing them would be up my alley. edit2: actually, if I download the rom and edit the zip file, will it still boot correctly? I noticed the build.prop points to a few specific tones that I could edit and just keep one of each type so (in my head) logically if I remove all but those tones I should be okay as long as I'm not screwing with anything else. nickhimself fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Oct 5, 2011 |

As for the ring tones, when in doubt you can replace them with a silent or short duration tone of the same type if you're never going to use them and you don't want to take up much space. That's the somewhat crude way of dealing with this that's least likely to break anything.

So I'm running a CM7 beta on my At&t SGSII and it's freaking smooth as silk. The phone is so snappy, and the screen is amazing. One thing though, is that the phone has an internal SD card, and I installed my own SD card as well, but I can't figure out how to make it use my SD card. I'd like to use it for Google Music, but I can't get it to use the card. It mounts fine, and everything, but I have no idea how to point data to it. Any ideas?

What do SD cards matter? Here's how it works: Phone /emmc/: 2gb SD Card (/mnt/sdcard): 16gb Ext SD Card (/mnt/emmc): 32gb I can't do anything with the 32gb sd card. I can't find any way to do anything with it. Google Music lets you download songs locally, ideally I'd like to fill the 32GB with that.

Just wanted to give a quick plug for the ROM I've been using on my EVO3D for the past few weeks. http://tinyurl.com/3ncwkgd It's called WTSB and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but the xda forums. It's got a pretty robust featurelist for a ROM that keeps Sense around. The best part though is easily the battery life:  That's over almost 2 days with light/regular usage. The only downside is development has kind of stalled since the developers have also started a ROM based off of Sense 3.5, but I think it's still worth a shot.
