[Q] Hello - General Questions and Answers

Just posting here to say im new here and liking the service given here.
Just had one question is there a place to see all the new roms for gingerbread?

Look in the forums for the make and model of your phone and you will find a general forum, a q&a forum, an accessories forum and an Android development forum. Android development is where you will find everything about ROMs and rooting and such.

Pick one and try it out. 2.2 is froyo 2.3 is gingerbread and 4.0 is Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS. And usually you can read through the OP and check the latest posts to see when it was last updated.

Tmobile update?

hello all, nice to be here.
Tmobile sent out a software update to my phone this morning, did any one else get one?
I was about to start modding stuff like taking off touchwiz. Would a software update make doing this harder?
It reads,
'congratulations!
T mobile has sent you a new software update for your device.
To proceed with installation select next.'
It's possible that this update might keep me from modding certain things right?
Any details known about the update?

Is it just KD1? I know that rolled out from tmobile recently.
It's kd1 update. We have had a deodexed and rooted version available for Odin flashing here for a while. I recommend using it instead of the tmo version. Look up Whitehawkx kd1 thread here on the forum and follow the directions in the op if you want to try it out.
Also an fyi to avoid flames--this is the dev forum. Questions should go in general forum. We are trying to keep things organized so folks can find what they need--and to keep Mr. Clown (forum mod) happy!

Since the galaxy s in the UK got the gingerbread update can we use that as a 2.3 base to build roms on?

That wasn'tithe Galaxy S 4G so unfortunately no...
Sent from my Galaxy Tab running CM7
So we cant even use it as a base? We are porting vibrant roms now. I'd assume the same process would need to be done and the button mappings changed right?
I doubt it, not yet anyway... as you can tell they're having a bit of trouble porting froyo roms

Rooting the EVO 4g with Gingerbread 2.3.3

Hi everyone I'm sure this has been posted but has anyone found a way to root this version or downgrade back to 2.2 ?Big thanks in advance and yes I have done my searching but so many different answers. Can someone answer the question for me and where to go if this has been done yet.

No it hasn't, and for the future, questions like this should be posted in the Q & A section.

[Q] no 4.0 for Captivate

I read in article that ice cream sandwich will not be available for the Captivate.
Is there anyone working on something that will be very similar?
Teamhacksungs ics port. It is going to be cyanogen mod 9. There is a thread for it in this forum. Also, this thread should be in the Q&A section, not development.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I read that too but then I also saw that they were "revisiting" this and it is possible the galaxy s and galaxy tab may get the upgrade. I however doubt the captivate will get an official release since we still dont have official GB, blame AT&T
Just read this though

ZOMG...let the chastising begin!
There are more than likely a few posts such as this and a search may have shown you so. Also...be careful where you post...if not, be prepared for a finger lashing.

Thanks. Mods are getting tired of all the reports I send
No they're not Thread closed and moved - we know the official word is no ICS, there are plenty of developers here who will make it happen for us.

Advice please and links

Hello, I have unlocked my bootloader with fastboot cmd-easy
I rooted with superoneclick can't remember version but worked good
I put rom manager on gingerbread and flashed clockworkmod version 5.x-worked great then i got peter Alfonso most current ICS rom...then flashed the radio specific to the koodo network, 4.0.3...
And here is the info if needed

At&t version
Koodo mobility
Baseband-I9020AUCKB2
Kernal V.- 3.0.8-gb55e9ac
[email protected] #1
Build-IML74K
Anyhow I was wondering what Kernal would work and what the difference in kernels are and learn abit more being I'm new to samsung customization and what have you and as of now ICS is working like a charm haven't tried a battery test, but performance is nice fast and easy to use mind menus and launcher is abit lagging at times but over all quick and pretty, also face lock is slooooow... And the live effects in camera, is that only for video or wasn't it also for stills but cool either way lol
Please be kind i get a little spacey at times and like if you can't get where I'm going here just ask... I am like i said new to the nexus s
Thank you and have a great day...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
this doesnt belong in the development section. check the q&a section for other similar threads(there are many). also, check the general section too, for kernel comparisons and benchmarks(Bedalus started some nice threads there).
come on people just read where you post your threads.!!!!
Ok I apologize, as I said still fairly new to the forums...

Upgrading to ICS

So I have been reading alot of post saying that the OTA is released in Asia. So I have an AT&T A2 from the US that's rooted and has cheesecake installed. Is there anything that I need to do to have a successful update? I'm on 2.3.6 right now and as far as I know I haven't changed any of my system files, other than how I look for updates.
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
Good sir, there are MANY posts on how to get your A2 on ICS. We officially have three ICS leaks for this phone.
Only ONE of which you can roll back to GB with. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968
And please, from now on use the search bar and search for your answers before posting a new thread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Thread Closed
And yet another ICS Thread. I sense the same when JB leaks roll out.
Ok folks, use the search button and you shall be rewarded. I know people can be cautious when jumping to another OS, but there's no need to start new threads for things that have already been covered. Just post your issues in the current threads, and they will get answered.
So, thread closed.
