[Q] Install another Samsung's Gingerbread, yay or nay?

Ok, Im sorry if you've seen a million threads on this type of question.
I've done as much googling as I can and have just decided to ask this.
Has anyone tried to install a gingerbread that is said to be made for another Samsung phone on their Sidekick 4g? If so, any luck with that?
I have a 2.3.5 GB ROM downloaded, and I found an Odin for this SD4g. The only reason I havent done it is cause Im not risking with someone Else's phone.
Any insight, or even a yes or no would be helpful. Thank you.

Nay different kernals would hardbrick ur phone

Dang. Maybe I can see about some more research on this. If only it was my phone or id experiment since I got the stock firmware downloaded and ready for mishaps.
I thank you for you input.

Np I heard roms can be flashed in the android emulator??

Nope , it won't work and there's no 2.3.5 for the SK4G so it'll brick your phone it's just a fake but you could always try as we have the Reserrectar incase your phone brick's but that's just a option which would need work so i would say no , we would need a GB kernel which nobody has yet .

[TIP] Notification Bar = Brightness Slider

I'm guessing that many of you guys already know this, but as this is not posted anywhere else in our forum, I'd like to post here, since I found this just randomly.
Touch your status/notification bar for a second (do not pull down) and then slide left/right to decrease/increase your screen Brightness.
Cool Right !!
NOTE : Auto Brightness should be turned off for this to work.
While posting this thread I saw few threads on other Phones' forums about this tip, and from the responses, I see many guys were not aware of this. So I think this thread will make some sense.

It’s working...... really cool man....

Yup its a known trick, it even works when using the stock ROMs.

Ah.. Glad to hear that... now i can get rid of one huge widget..

Is anybody read the instruction to SGR? It's in there ))))

As far as I am aware, this is only present on Samsung phones. I tried with my friend's DHD, his Arc S and his Galaxy Note. Only worked on his Note.

And I saw few threads for some HTC fones also having this option..

I second that it doesn't work on Ace though it was a while back that I had checked it, so a new update might have added this feature for them too.
Will check & update you guys here.

It's already in the FAQs buddy.

Galaxy SL has the brightness control feature. That runs TouchWiz 3.0, as far as I know.

It doesnt work for me on stock ROM. I have however removed a lot of stuff with titanium backup, which might be the reason for this.
Any suggestions as to why it doesn't work for me?

One hard and long way would be to restore those one by one and see what brings back the feature.

Yeah, I guess so.
At the moment, I'm waiting a few weeks before switching to one of the custom ROMs which are currently being developed and tested. I think I'll live without this brightness feature until then Although it sounds really nice.

Very Nice. Thanks for the Tip.
Gesendet von Unterwegs!

Thank you! Very useful, I've seen the slide in my honeycomb GT and I miss this option on the R.

[REQUEST] Stock Galaxy S3 Camera.apk running on Jellybean

I love the features of the Galaxy S3 Camera app, but the rom is full of bloatware and lacking features.
I upgraded to ParanoidAndroid 2+, and love it.
Request to put the STOCK Galaxy S3 Camera App onto a JellyBean mod (like ParanoidAndroid or CM).

Attempts have been made @ this thread but there were no conclusive results.

Its not possible because the stock camera relies heavily on the stock samsung framework.

OOPS I was meant to quote the OP not you but you answered for him ... reason for my Question is because he is asking for a system app of a Different device
i think the camera app should be interchangable Not sure tho...I just find it odd as there is PLENTY more I9300 users with what you would be looking for and its no guessing game that way caues you KNOW it will work. Its better to be safe then sorry. And yes they are similar devices but they are not the same which is why we have 2 different development forums for them.
And if you want to try the camera app is in ausdim deodexed/zialigned XXALI5 rom , its in this thread somewhere just extract it out of there but your rom has to be deodexed aswell.

Dissapointed with OS 4.2.2

Hey guys, I'm not only stunt but also dissapointed. Not only CM 4.2.2 has some old OS icons but also it can't execute the apps I had on 4.1.2 and repeats the same word not twice but THREE TIMES if I write fast... I will go back to the official JB 4.1.2 but I have only one question. All I have to do is Open Odin, Place the Stock 4.1.2 on PDA, Place the SG II on Download Mode and Start?

Well, I was not able to downgrade to 4.1.2 Vincom... Unfortunately Odin did not worked out as expected, and when I tried to do it through CWM, I was not able to downgrade it for some reason... It just said "Installation Aborted". Luckily I was able to reinstall 4.2.2 at least so my SG2 is working at least...

Odin in cwm?

Ummm well... I fixed it, it seems the stock firmware I previously downloaded was damaged, for some reason it was booting 4.2.2 instead of 4.1.2... I am stunt, I really don't know why, but a friend came over with his SG2 and in just a couple of minutes I was able to be in 4.1.2...

this doesn't explain anything, and it's spelled "stunned". what you needed to do to avoid random problems was to read the stickies. you wouldn't be "stunt" and you would know what to do in the first place. it's really not that much reading and the best part is: you'll actually know what you're doing. :good:

so the better way is this only, if we don't get an update, there is no way to wait for nothing.

i too have a kindle fire and a tab 2 but my daily driver is ace plus :good:

I had an Ace than decided to give to my sister .
Then one night my dad said to look into Ace Plus specs ,before looking into I said it is worthless ,and told that I do not need a device .But then he told me that he already bought one .This was a reason why I hate before asking to me though.
It made me happy ,but time passed and I became tired of this phone . :/
