Kiranamos posted:SGS2 Hercules T989 running CM9, the best I get is the occasional "H" instead of 3G. As far as I know Jellybean isn't officially out for my phone, so I can't get CM10 yet unless I want to use an unofficial build? T989 has official CM10 nightlies at get.cm (or use the awesome CyanDelta on Play) and they work great, I've had them as my daily driver for over a month. There's also an overclocking kernel at XDA called King Kangers One that will let you overclock and undervolt for some pretty solid battery. Also on CM10 they have both an "H" icon and "H+" for T-Mobile.

To be fair to T-Mobile, if Sprint hadn't called WiMAX "4G" they wouldn't have needed to rebrand their existing HSPA+ 3G as such. T-Mobile's HSPA+ is at least as fast and in most real-world cases (much) faster than Sprint's WiMAX so Sprint touting their 4G network left them with either trying to educate the public on why that's misleading or simply saying, "Welp, our network is faster than their 4G network so ours must be 4G!" It's not like the consumer was going to win in either case.

Apparently there is an updated gapps with updated versions of Gmail, Maps, Talk, Calendar, Clock, Photo Sphere, the latest keyboard, and more. The phandroid article has a few commenters that have had success.. but I'm still a bit leery. Other than a virus scan/md5 check, I don't really know how to verify the package. Also, looks like the update google wallet.

I'm a little hesistant to do it. Guess I could always revert to a backup. edit: welp installed the camera and keyboard from the xda thread. The camera didn't work and I still had my normal camera. Keyboard looks like it's been edited because the word that would come up about the finger when swiping was god ugly and not the same as I've seen in other videos.

The only thing bothering me about it is access to symbols sucks. I'm definitely going to try SwiftKey Flow when it comes but I'm no longer angered daily by Swype. Once this becomes the actual, official stock keyboard I'm 99% sure I'm going to uninstall Swype altogether. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Nov 6, 2012 |

Touch typing seems faster, but the actual swyping is slower on my phone. Didn't 2 versions come out? Maybe this one had just the first keyboard. I'll play with it some more to see, but that's my first impression.

The one I'm using is from the Nexus 4 system dump, and it is pretty good. I wish you could configure the Swype aspect more, but I'm coming from using Swype for almost three years straight and I'm guessing this will take time to get used to. Still, solid as gently caress and not nearly as laggy as Swype. I've uninstalled the latter from my device as of today.

Explain "dirty-flash"? I'm running a cm10 based rom jellytime for dhd from 10/28. Dev recommends clean-flash, I know how to do that, it takes a long time to get everything set up again even with titanium. But people say a dirty-flash is ok. Do I just flash the new upgrade? would I need to re-flash gapps? clear dalvik or cache or anything? My rom flashing is mostly limited to flashing cm7 rcs & stables being happy with them until the next comes along and not having to do anything but flash the upgrade. Also, AT&T One X vs. GS3, is the one x worth considering at all community rom wise? VVVV thanks VVVV Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Nov 6, 2012 |

Is there any reason why loading bugless beast ROM would break Soundhound or Shazam? Neither app can hear any music though the mic but people can hear me when I speak to them. The last ROM I had installed disabled Navigation but my location still worked... Am I doing something wrong or are things like this normal when messing with ROMS and such?

Well I've gotten tired of the battery life on my samsung galaxy s2, and I've finally decided to get around to rooting it. While looking at my phone's information I learned that I apparently have never updated the drat thing and have an android version of 2.3.6.  So I did a little bit of research, and basically I know that I want to upgrade to jellybean. I'm unsure as to what rom to use and so on, but I can look at that later. I was actually looking through this thread for some ideas when I saw something about an emmc brick bug. So I installed the app that checks for it and it confirmed that I have a bad chip. So now I'm back to square one of not knowing what to do.

I recently upgraded to a Note 2 and I was going to sell my old Epic4g to a friend but I can't seem to be able to remove my sprint info from it.. I tried flashing back to stock, doing factory reset, everything I could find and yet it still retains my old phone number and sprint acct name. Is this something that sprint will do when they reactivate the phone on another line?

I tried installing the deodexed Nexus 4 dump from this really awful xda thread that was linked earlier (towards the bottom of the op) but the directions are useless. "just move them to system/app"? Yeah, that doesn't do anything. I was hoping to avoid the conflicts everyone else was running into when they flashed the apps but it looks like I'm going to have to do it the hard (easy) way, maybe? Can anyone spell out installing the apks from the dump? Apologies if I've said a bunch of really loving stupid things in this post!

Trapezound posted:I tried installing the deodexed Nexus 4 dump Some 4.2 apps might work on older versions of Android. But they're compiled for and expect 4.2 framework libraries. Running them on an older version of Android will result, at best, with certain features not working. At worst you'll experience crashes and possibly data loss. It's not worth it. Furthermore, any xda idiot who claims "Not all apps have been tested but should work no problem" is a drooling moron.

Glad it worked out for you. Actually I'm kind of surprised that you were able to test everything, given that the xda OP couldn't be arsed into doing that. But yeah, installing 4.2 apps on a recent CM10 install is the most likely scenario in which it's going to work. And even then, it'll work only if the device doesn't require application-level hacks to work with broken HALs and stuff. But for all I know Trapezound is trying to install a 4.2 system dump over a 2.3-based stock ROM or something. That's not going to work.

This may be better suited for the Tmobile or Apps thread, but I'm gonna try the rooted thread first.. I've got a CM10 GNex that I use with the Tmobile/walmart $30 plan (100 minutes, 5gb data). I'm currently deciding if I can continue with the plan (and likely upgrade to the Nexus 4) at the expense of religiously counting my voice minutes, or if I should jump ship to Verizon and pay the higher monthly costs (and wait until a good LTE phone releases). Any suggestions for using wifi/voip calling to conserve voice minutes? Right now the best I've found is the Vonage app. While a little clunky, it works good enough for outbound calls and it does a good job of appearing like it's dialing from my regular phone number. The only things I'm missing are a solution for receiving calls (right now I just ignore calls and then call back using Vonage), and if possible a more seamless experience that uses the default android dialer. I think porting my number to GV would solve this, but I don't want to lose MMS functionality. Any other solutions that I've overlooked?

Just get a new GV number. Sure, you'd have a new number, but if you know you're going to be talking for longer than a few just call out on it instead. People can still reach you on the old one, and you don't have to worry about always being on wifi to receive calls on it, but then GV will let you make calls out when you're planning a longer one.

I'm using the newest daily of Euroskank, if it matters. I read that it only works on the stock rom, but I don't know if that's true or not. Alright, so I got the adapter today and it's still not working. Is there something in settings that I have to enable to make this work? Has anyone using CM used one of these things?

What's the best ROM for battery life on the SGS3? I had been running CM10 and it was pretty awful. Switched AOKP and it seems slightly better, but still worse than my old iPhone. Here's my battery life this morning. Not sure why Maps is using so much? Is this Google Now using the GPS? I haven't opened the Maps app today.

There was a Maps update a little bit ago that made it take a dump on battery life. Doesn't matter which ROM you run, if you have the maps update, it will constantly wakelock your phone.

NiVRaM88 posted:This may be better suited for the Tmobile or Apps thread, but I'm gonna try the rooted thread first.. This has nothing to do with being rooted as you correctly deduced so I have no idea why it's not in the prepaid thread. GrooveIP ($5 on market) or Talkatone (free on market) will let you place 4G/Wifi calls for free. You will need a Google Voice number to use either. You can get a free number and make outgoing calls from that if you'd like to keep incoming MMS functionality. But then your free outgoing calls will confuse friends if they pay attention to caller ID. MMS is loving stupid anyways and there's a million better ways to send media, so I'd just as soon port to GV. Whatever you do, it sounds like your T-Mobile service is fine, so hell no don't pay out the rear end for Big Red to come and gently caress you. My solution is I ported my number to GV, and I carry a small dumbphone from work that only does voice calls. When I get an incoming call it'll ring both phones so I take them on the work phone to conserve minutes. You could do the same thing with one of those free low-income phones if you're eligible, or just go to the store and get a prepaid voice-only phone and having both would still be cheaper than a Verizon post-paid plan. And let's be honest, if you're running CM10, carrying a backup dumbphone for emergencies is hardly the worst idea. It's winter and you have enough pockets.
