Gingerbread Video- what's new in the update

I took the liberty of showing you guys what gingerbread looks like- on video. New features include Android 2.3.4 (but no video chat on G-Talk?), new T-Mo bloatware, quick settings, etc. check it out!

Thank goodness YouTube has a mute button.
Thanks for the vid. I could be wrong, but isn't this the first Sense ROM to have Android 2.3.4? Every other version of Sense I've seen has had 2.3.3. Cool!

Thanks I can't wait til this update gets to my phone

thanks for the video

Thanks dude, the update doesn't look like it changed much...They could have at least given us the 3.0 lockscreen and change the dock. I hate that dock...

Thanks for the video nice to see what we are going to get

First, thanks guys! I'm glad you guys appreciate the video, and for the record this is the ROM that was leaked on Monday, but it's the same as the one T-Mo is rolling out
and my screen works fine, it's just harder to use when your making a video the update didn't do anything screen wise

My screen is very responsive running on Virtuous Unity. I noticed that too on the video. I'd hope an update wouldn't make your screen unresponsive. He may not have been touching right those few times. Also, some apps get like that from time to time where they get a little unresponsive

so basically nothing changed like i dont really see a difference looks wise i mean i would rather flash and all so i can get nice themes and all

It's true, when I tried pulling down Quick Settings I was pulling on the MyTouch logo, and other times just too little touch

Turn Around Pt. 2- Flo Rida

I noticed that they changed the camera as well, it now has more effects. The calculator has been tweaked as well. And this may be just me, but the battery life seems better. I'm still in green and usually by now I'm in yellow.

Has there been any issues from the OTA update, other than not being able to root? Has the suspend issue been fixed?

I love the fact it has the "4G" instead of "H"

Yes I am a true developer. I'm 25 and I have 2 ROMs in the Doubleshot forums. I am very well respected. Feel free to check out my work. My goal is to get you a good working ROM. Right now I'm blind but that won't stop me.

To bad you weren't around when the phone 1st came out, cause development has quite dead...But, then I exchanged my SK4G for a MT4G & never looked back(ironically I sold that shortly). The SK4G is a nice phone, ignoring its support, Sammy hasn't really done much with the phone, since it was released, hopefully these guys get ICS, because they've been waiting for Ginger for months...

Btw does anyone think we can use the samsung exhitbit 2 4g rom to get gingerbread? 2.3 gingerbread 1 ghz provessor and 4g. Its coming out soon

Where is it?
Edit: Oops, nvm found it.

its crazy fast and everything seems to be working.

Tried it briefly. Butter smooth.
Wifi calling didn't work. I depend on it now with the crappy dead zone I am in now.
Also miui. I didn't give it a fair chance never tried miui before. I hope it gets ported beyond miui.
Can't wait for it that's for sure

Wait, is this ICS? lol?

Working terrific so far. Looks absolutely identical to regular miui. Except keyboard which is a tiny bit smaller I believe. Also noticibly faster in general. I do recommend it from my experience so far.

been running ICS build since it's availability and everything has been smooth and stable. it "feels" faster than any other MIUI build i've used, but could just be placebo effect unless ICS' hardware acceleration is really working.
i even had wifi calling working a couple times, but this has not been consistent. sometimes it worked and other times i had the "invalid sim" error.
can't really comment on battery life as i'm still re-calibrating.
the only issue i've run into is a Market FC only when i try to swipe through the screenshots for apps...weird.
other than the issue listed above, this rom has been great and error free for me.

tried it out.... hated the Ui would much prefer weapon x ui with ics improvements and toggles going back to weaponx 2.8.

Been using the ICS build. No crazy real world speeds were felt by me. Only going to keep running this build if the battery life is better than the regular one.
Missing extended power menu. Might be missing gps.config fix & APN fix files in this ICS build.
Looks & feels the same as any other MIUI Whitehawkx has ported over.

Installed just now...works great and benchmarks return 2700+. Also, I was having terrible problems with Youtube before with any other MIUI version (very, very, very, verrrrrry slow loading). Now Youtube is faster to load than when it was with Gingerbread.
THANK YOU Whitehawkx!

I've been having problem with galnet video app. It sends me to the market to download an app. When I tried to install the app it gives me an error. Anyone else has the same problem?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I had that happen but only because miui considered it a favorite app and wanted you to submit a rating.
That's the only thing I found impressive was the media player, galnet player. I'd love to see it in cm7 or in a market.
Playing with miui on my G2 just to get a feel for it. Would have moved it to g2x but I need T-Mobile wifi to work

These ICS framework MIUI ROMs are a disgrace to the name of MIUI, its not official MIUI ICS so really, why bother making such crap kangs?

[ROM][CWM] Newest ICS UCLD2 leak - new: Facebook/Sammy KB Patch available!

Big thanks to designgears from rootzwiki for this leak & ks0 for bringing it to my attention:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/
I'm from the T989 side. I was pretty excited for this, turned it into a CWM so enjoy
There are no T989 specific tweaks at all on this. I didn't change anything but what I say below.
*THIS IS A STOCK BUILD...with all AT&T and Samsung software UNTOUCHED*
I took it, extracted it (<3 WinHex), and turned it into a CWM flashable ZIP.
Aside from that, I added root and busybox to it.
Its fresh...built April 7
I have nowhere to host it...so here is a torrent.
If you can mirror it that would be good.
Initial downloading may be slow since I'm the only seeder for now.
(update: +2 more )
UPDATE
Flash these two fixes after flashing this ROM but before booting:
Root fix - Ignore the error after flashing this...then just go into Superuser and update after bootup
The attached UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to fix Facebook and Samsung keyboard
Run Fix permissons after flashing the above 3 fixes ^^
Cheers

Good Job man!

and email seems flawless
and i found some new build.prop tweaks
other then that its kind of meh same thing
i flashed my ucl4 build with the dl2 modem and bam

I don't mean slower in overall phone speed, but things like typing on the keyboard and bringing up the task manager seem to take forever.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Nah I've noticed it too. I went back to GB via Nexusmod earlier and forgot how much overall faster it was. ICS isn't that smooth. Probably why they are rushing 4.1 and "project butter"

GB is smoother for sure , but for sure less features ..
So it's your choice ..

By "smoother", I think they meant they added more transition effects. Like, when you're watching a video and you rotate orientation, it'll show an animation of it switching orientation as opposed to it just switching. I like it, but then I don't.

I don't believe that it's Android, rather the poor development on AT&T and Samsung. From what I understand, CM9 is relatively stable and now with the official out, hopefully a stable version will release soon.
I hear CM9 is quite snappy. While this update isn't terrible, but noticeably more sluggish than GB...
