Hi everyone, I was just wondering about how devices that won't get an update to ICS get a custom ICS ROM and almost all ways the Camera doesn't work cause the manufacturer hasn't releases a driver or something. Well can somebody explain that to me in more detail so I know exactly why my camera doesn't work. Cheers

Its probablynot the driver but the Custom rom that u install to phone.Not all custom roms have fixed the camera and media storage.The one i am using right now is custom rom JB and some times my camera do not work.
So is there a way to bring back the camera?

Not without the kernel source code and proper drivers. This is the biggest issue.

So Samsung haven't realesed the source code for the wifi 5.0? Sorry for asking so many questions I'm just interested.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Yes without an official update there is no source code for the kernel and no proper drivers for the camera

That's a shame. Stupid Samsung always leaving devices behind. I like their hardware only.

This is the way of android. With Tue advances in hardware as well as software. Any OEM will be hard pressed to keep a phone officially updated for more then 6 months

This is why I like Google's phones and Google them selves. They seem friendly if you know what I mean. Always willing to help. Imagine if Samsung had invented Android! It wouldn't be open source for a start. And devices would be out of date with software before people could actually buy them! Samsung need to get their act together.

What would be the safest phone to get to use for developing custom Roms? Currently my phone is a Samsung galaxy S3. I would like to play with custom Rom development on another phone where the risk of bricking it is low, and won't have to worry about messing it up.
My guess would be a phone/tablet with an unlocked boot loader? Or a nexus?

Um there's no such thing all android phones/android software is built on a Linux kernel so go with the official developers phone Samsung galaxy nexus

What are the best ROM's to get on the note 10.1. Post pictures to please
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
The best rom is always those which suit ur device and ur needs.
This is a known things since s2 time.
Different device, different rom, different kernel, and different usage will affect the satisfactory result.
Answer : always try to test urself. What is good to me doesn't mean always good to u or others.
Cheers.

the best rom is Chrack's 4.11 Rom V3 .

All the rom i see in the development section is labeled 8000. Can I flash it on the US wifi version? Thanks.
You should still be able to flash the ROM's on your device.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
I've tried Chrack and had some problems with it such as battery life and lagging when I needed to wake up my device so I went back to the original. I guess my question should be do you know of any good jellybean ROM's besides chrack of course not saying it's not a great ROM it simply was just not for me. I guess since this is a new device there is still not to many options out for it yet.

I have the Infuse and I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini and the update from samsung. Upon downloading it and using it for a few days I absoutely hate it and would like to go back to Froyo 2.2.1. I have searched and searched through thread after thread and I have found no solution to this problem due to the fact that you can not root the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and seems like this is a common problem with no real answer. I have an idea and im no expert but thats why I am here for the help. My girl also has an Infuse and she is still running the Froyo. My question to all of you is there a way to use her phone with the original Froyo OS and transfer it to My Infuse with Gingerbread OS or does anyone know of a solution to the rooting problem with 2.3.6? Thanks for your time.
Read this thread and choose the method best suited for you. Personally, I have always found that Odin is easier to use.

I'm gonna give it a try but I've tried using Odin a few times and it wont recognize my phone but ill give it another go as soon as I get a chance.

Were you able to get this to work?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Thanks so much for the help I kind of feel dumb now. I figured out the reason Odin couldn't recognize my device was because of the USB cable. I switched the cable and bam it worked... thanks for taking the time to guide me in the right direction.

How do you not like gingerbread? Copy and paste. Smoother. More options. More apps work. Etc...
If you hate gingerbread don't go to jellybean they really rearrange the buttons on top of the new features.
Gingerbread made my lock screen not work properly and some of the features I didn't like so I'm running 4.0.4 and so far I love it.

I recently flashed Dark Knight ics on my infuse 4g.
The main issue that I am having is that previously compatible apps on gingerbread, are no longer working on my custom ics flash. how can I resolve this?
Hi, I hear you have my ROM? Haha, anyways some apps are still in development for newer Android versions than gingerbread.

It is the bank of america app, its been released for ics and jellybean already....
My best bet would be that it only has gingerbread support for this specific device, but i'm unsure of what compatibility options you can set. and based upon your response, this isn't an known issue that you know how to fix.
Is Dark Knight ever going to become jellybean, or is it stuck at ics since its a port?
You could try changing the build.prop just to download it, other apps may not like it, do change it back after its installed

Running pretty smooth on my infuse with no problem.
I'm running beanstalk.
Little bit of lag is because of the hardware.

What do you think I need to change? I tried changing the model, but couldn't download still.
You could just get an app called 4shared. Its much easier than changing the build.prop

I still have months to go before I can upgrade, but, unless Samsung come out with something mind blowing before then I'll be looking at other possibilities. particularly a Google flagship!
My question is this - I use Odin to root a Samsung. It's very straight forward to do. In comparison how difficult\different is it to root a nexus?

Nexus device are as easy to root, just like samsung devices. Although, now that they have Nox(security) I don't know how easy it will be in the future..

Thanks mate. Yeah I read is using selinux secure mode now. Will be interesting.
Try thanking you but the XDA app is playing up and I'm on a bus so can't get to a PC.

It's extremely easy. I don't normally recommend using a tool kit and prefer the old fashion way. It's already so simple as it is. Install drivers, fastboot oem unlock.
Done. Samsung Odin is equivalent to fastboot but better and less buggy than Odin.

I feel like this won't be much issue. People buy a Nexus because it's open and you can play with stuff. I feel like too many people would be pissed at google if this actually had any real affect on things.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Yeah it's as easy as 3 or 4 commands in fastboot.
OEM unlock
flash recovery
flash ROM / kernel
Done.
Can anyone tell me the steps to root my nexus please
