LeftistMuslimObama posted:Flashing to the newest nightly of cm7 on my G2 made all the notification LEDs orange instead of green. I know it's spergy, but I like seeing the green LED when I have a notification. I installed lightflow lite to try to set this back, but my phone seems to be ignoring the settings I put in lightflow, even though I set up the accessibility options in the phone correctly. Be sure to test the notifications in ligjtflow, for some reason I can never get it to display notifications until I test my settings first. I think it's something like Tools > Notification Test and then turn the screen off or something similar to that. Also I thought CM7 had built in LED controls.

Got Passion ICS installed on my friend's Vibrant, what a pain in the rear end. But holy hell, now her 959 is faster than my 989. What do you think will happen first, Samsung puts out ICS for the T-989, or they put out the SGS3? I don't get why they drag their butts to update what is currently their best phone.

I have firefy 3.0 on my Samsung Galaxy. I flashed my phone a long time ago and I've been out of the loop. Now I'm interested in flashing an ICS rom. Could I just flash over my current rom (via recovery mode and from sdcard)? Or would I need to flash to stock first, then flash a custom?

You don't need to flash to stock. Just do a nandroid backup, factory reset, and wipe caches in recovery, then flash whatever ICS build. I recommend the CM9 alpha.

Civil posted:I think Samsung only cares about the Exynos GS2. The t989 is probably relegated to stepchild status, and will get that legendary Samsung treatment. So, on that subject can I ask you about SGSII rom scene, rooting, and the like? Buddy of mine finally upgraded off of his iPhone3gS to an ATT SGSII and seems to dig it. I already gave him the rundown on what rooting is, what are pros and cons of the Android ecosystem, and why now is a weird time to buy in. He took it pretty good and expressed mild interest in rooting, but perhaps not so far as getting a custom rom. So that being said, what's the word on ICS for the ATT SGSII, what's the current scene for that device, and is root pretty easy? Edit: Preliminary googlin shows me that the ATT version is "GT-I9100" which is about as good as its going to get for the Samsung upgrade curve, right?

Slopehead posted:Edit: Preliminary googlin shows me that the ATT version is "GT-I9100" which is about as good as its going to get for the Samsung upgrade curve, right? The AT&T version is the i777, which uses a different call kernel and thus needs to be treated as a different set of hardware from the 9100 international model. As a result, it has a smaller dev community and all the usual negatives you expect from an offshoot created specifically for a US carrier. Nobody knows if ICS is coming, word had been until this week that it will take ICS for the 9100 to be released at minimum, and the community has been turning into a bunch of anxious babies about it and driving away skilled coders by demanding the whole world right this minute. Hacked ICS hasn't been able to place phone calls until just yesterday. That said, a hacked kernel that allows ICS to run and place calls (which you can't do with a 9100 ROM) appeared the other day, with caveats. You're probably best with ICScrewD (a Gingerbread ROM that's been hosed around with to look like ICS) if you want any kind of stability at all. If you want, you can use real ICS with brand new hack; but two of the buttons (back and search) don't work and the lockscreen randomly flashes on when it's not plugged into USB, draining your battery. The kind of thing you should check back on to see if they've fixed in a few weeks. If I was a guy with a brand new phone of this model, I'd probably just switch the launcher if I'm not happy with the TouchWiz one, until CM9 becomes more stable than it is right now. Just don't install the official upgrade released by AT&T, because it kills battery life and is why I felt the need to root mine in the first place. A note about rooting: the phone has a firmware flash counter on it and will permanently alter it's boot screen if anything non-stock has been flashed, so if you want to avoid that you'll need to go down this more complicated road. Once you have some funky-rear end hack of ClockworkMod running on there, you can throw Odin away and should flash all ROMs through ClockworkMod. And don't ever update ClockworkMod through ROM Manager, as it supposedly breaks the phone. If this all sounds like a lot could go wrong, welcome to the minor, lesser supported fork of a popular platform. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Mar 1, 2012 |

Not sure if it belongs here or not, but a dev on XDA has developed a Beats Audio Port for all Gingerbread phones. Combine that audio layer to CM7s DPS Manager, the sound quality on my phone has drastically improved.

I was skeptical when I first heard about Beats audio but it really did make a noticeable difference in sound. Is there any way rom developers will start packaging this in with their roms?

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I figure people in this thread flash a lot, and probably some of you have 2 step verification. Googling has provided no luck. I use 2-step verficiation for my Google account. Every time I wipe and flash a new ROM, I have to re-setup the Google mobile authenticator. When I do that (despite the page telling me it won't), I have to regenerate application specific passwords for chrome sync, and all other application specific passwords. Is this just the way it is, or am I doing something wrong? Grumpwagon fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Mar 1, 2012 |

What's the best GNex rom/kernal combo people are using? Good for battery life? I was okay on 4.0.4, worse on AOKP and a recent Franco kernel.

Boywunda posted:Combine [Beats] audio layer to CM7s DPS Manager, the sound quality on my phone has drastically improved. It's one thing when a phone actually has a good DAC that's hampered by a crappy audio codec (see SGS/NS models with a wm8994), which paves the way for something like Voodoo Sound to make legitimate improvements. (Although even there, I wonder how much of that is Supercurio just boasting.) However, if the Beats DSP mumble works on any GB phone, it's not really improving your audio quality, just making it different. That heatmap on the the xda page makes me think it's just doing audio compression to make poo poo sound louder. I suppose that might help, particularly if your phone really sucks and has audible hiss on the headphone output. And perhaps "making it sound different" is considered a desired improvement by some, but I utterly, absolutely disagree with this statement: xda posted:This is a Beats Audio Port and should work for all Gingerbread Roms. The sounds will be more natural, playing with more clarity. ExcessBLarg! fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Mar 2, 2012 |

ExcessBLarg! posted:I think I have a few USB charging cables I can sell these guys. Oooh! Are they gold-plated?? Seriously, the most hilarious part of those graphs is the statement that "more red is better". Is it louder in more places? It must be better! Nothing is more natural and clear than over-compression! edit: Especially hilarious is that, if I'm reading that heatmap correctly, it looks like it's really pumping up the 3K-5K range, which will probably actually add something resembling "clarity" to bass-heavy music, but to call that "natural-sounding" stretches the word beyond all reasonable definition. double edit: It just occurred to me that most people who equate "Beats Audio" with quality probably do hear crazy levels of compression as "natural"

Is that all it does is increase the bass? I don't listen to much bass-heavy music, so if all this is going to do is increase bass output maybe I should skip it. And yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw those charts in the XDA thread is "What is this? Why is more red better? How is it going to compensate for a lovely DAC?" I really want a magic app to make my phone sound like my iPod though

I flashed it onto my phone to see if it would make the phone speaker sound better when I'm in the shower. If I decide I hate it is there a way to go back to the normal codec aside from reflashing the whole rom? I'm using cm7.

I have cyanogen 7.1 on an htc incredible and all apps on the phone will crash constantly once a certain amount of cache is used by any one app. So if i browse a bunch of pic-heavy threads using the awful app, pretty soon everything will force close until i do clear the cache on awful. Anyone have any idea why this would be happening or if it is possible to fix?

Even the Nexus One had a  BOOTLOADER hosed WITH modification on the boot screen unless you followed a specific order of instructions. OEMs just aren't going to take us flashing custom ROMs lying down is all.The HTC One X will also have a US only variant when it arrives on AT&T (a Snapdragon S2 processor instead of a Tegra 3 due to AT&T's Qualcomm-based implementation of LTE) so you can look forward to more of this sort of fun when that phone arrives.

Every now and again it has issues moving from one wifi to another, but I find if I put it in airplane mode when I go between places, there are no issues picking up the new wifi. Other than that, like Civil, its only the known missing features/settings.
