The apps from the Samsung Galaxy S2 look pretty amazing, e.g mms, contacts e.g. I was wondering if any devs out there would want to look at porting or theming some apps from the S2. I can get copies of just about anything in the S2's system, so if anyone wants to have ago at this I can upload some apk's from the /system/app directory.
Thanks, happyland.adventures
I have seen and am using the touchwiz launcher port but I can't find any apk's from the SGS2 that will work with my phone I have tried pushing them straight from the SGS2's system into mine but that ended badly...
so any luck?

Would be nice from you if you share pics (or screen shots) of this TW launcher and maybe sharing the files

I got the DINC 2 a couple of months ago, and I highly doubt ill buy a new phone for quite awhile. So when ICS is rolled out, will gingerbread phones like mine still get new apps??
Yes. From the leaks of ICS, it doesn't look like what it was expected to be. Seems google couldn't keep their "promise". It looks like it'll just be another "froyo to gingerbread update" (meaning the update doesn't really contain anything substantial)
And to make it clear for you, there are rarely any apps that are designed for only gingerbread, so that means the possibility of apps working only on ICS is low. ICS has to be a eclair/froyo sort of update for that to happen, which it doesn't look like.
Unless there is hw included in ICS... >.>
yes, your phone will still get apps
people who are still on froyo (2.2)/and lower still get apps even though gingerbread (2.3) is the current release
But are they compatible?

so does that mean your phone can use it? Both phone roms have been compatible with each other. Im not telling anyone to flash it im just giving a heads up so maybe a dev from this forum can get it running if anything needs to be changed first.

You could flash it , then flash the conversion package after and it should work .

CM7 and MIUI in the same night.
Here's the MIUI thread.

wont work since the kernel those roms require is different. think it would be a matter of getting a custom kernel to our devices.
Yeah I tried at like 3am... tried stock and Da_G's kernels with no luck. Hoping someone over there or here can make a change to allow it to work.
I'm running cm7 now. Flash it do not do the conversion package just flash cm7 and gapps. But there is a screen rotation issue. Otherwise very snappy fast and smooth

Turn auto rotation off and you shouldn't have any issues. Its a kernel thing.

Unless you use a dock and want the landscape mode sometimes.
I can get it to do either portrait or landscape properly, but not both at the same time.

lol @ AnTuTu giving it a "0" score.
I can't wait till CM7 is ported to the Skyrocket. I'm liking a lot of the little things about the ROM customization.
This isn't a daily driver right now for the simple orientation issue. But it at least lets folks take a peek at CM7.
We need a :thumbsup: emoticon.
know, Galaxy S II which also known as Skyrocket is the Android smartphone with new technology namely LTE which supports 4G network. Now, if you are Japanesse people then you can now purchase Samsung Galaxy S II LTE in your Country. Yeah, Samsung has launched their Galaxy S II Skyrocket in Japan.
Recently, Samsung Galaxy S II LTE is available in US, Australia, and also Europe. But now, it is surpricingly because as the country with advance technology, Japan now can try this LTE smartphone. For the data plan, this LTE smartphone is launched by Japan’s NTT DoCoMo. NTT DoCoMo is the first provider in Japan who did have LTE network.
For the availability, you can purchase Samsung Galaxy S II LTE for ¥20,000 or $258 USD. This price is including a two-year contract with NTT DoCoM0. You can check the specs preview of Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket or check the hands-on video here

"Navigation" wasn't installed and I couldn't find it in Market.
I downloaded Google Maps and it found my house on the map, so I guess GPS is working in that respect at least.

Well, that's good news for you guys then. The only thing you should really need for it to be fully functional on your phone is a CM7 kernel.

Tried to send an MMS mssg. It sent/received the picture successfully but on the screen it says "loading new albums and photos" and that wasn't going away.
Then it crashed and said "Activity Gallery (in application Gallery) is not responding".
Whatever that was, it also crashed my launch pad and the icons disappeared.
I'll go ahead and reboot & try a few other things.

It reboots fast!
I'm not able to make phone calls yet. I do "connect", but I don't hear anything and it says "pause" on the phone screen.
I think some of the TMO guys experienced a similar issue though. I'll check the TMO thread.
Edit: I rebooted & calls are working.
Wifi works good.

SCREEN ORIENTATION WORKAROUND:
Guys, as a temporary workaround until CM7 is ported to Skyrocket, you could consider doing what I am doing, to gain proper orientation. This is a workaround, not a fix.
1) Downoad and install an auto-orientation widget. I used this one, there are dozens of others.
https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.com.sti.android.widget.orientlock&feature=related_apps
2) Go to settings/CM7 settings/Display and scroll to the bottom and make it so there are only checkmarks in 0 degrees and 90 degrees.
Now use the Auto Orientation desktop widget to flip back & forth between portrait or landscape.
Unlocked is for landscape with USB to the right side of phone, and Locked is for portrait.
Works great for me!

I don't know, you probably have to mod the apk itself. Maybe Google about it if you're determined about it. To me its not a big issue

it works awesome but a centimeter is cut at the right end.
But if there is way to port on wqvga resolution I will learn how to port and enjoy even more

where did you find those games?
Ok, i have been frustrated over this for a while now. I flashed Surface port for infuse (thanks DMAN) and i can not for the life of me find the theme used in the screen shots.
the theme includes a totally transparent status bar background, a standard Aosp lockscreen, a blue horizontal battery, and a couple other features i cant name off the top of my head.
but it looks amazing.

Because someone has to do it. Mods feel free to delete if it ends up being unnecessary.
My first opinion is that it is an improvement over the firmware the S7e came with, but is still missing simple features that the Note7 had built into the UI.

Agreed. I imagine those will be included in official since this has to replace the Note 7.
Honestly, I'm impressed for this to be a beta release. While not totally lag free, some areas are smoother on this beta than in the official MM firmware. Lots of new features

Its a completely new UI is the camera. It is similar to the Note 7, but it is different too. Its not the exact same. It does load WAY faster though and the shutter speed is super fast. Overall a great addition to the firmware.

If anyone wants me to screen shot anything specific so they can see the features let me know. There are a tons of changes and if you never saw the Note 7 UI it might be nice to see them.

Just found another new feature that is pretty awesome. You can adjust the DPI of the firmware in the developer settings. It is standard at 360, but I changed it to 450 (%25 increase) and now it looks WAY better. Nice feature for one of the things I use to always want root for.
Ok so first here is the screen shot of the adjusted dpi
Here is all of the screens from the camera app
