[Q] How to update to GB

Hi guys most of you might find this question silly but there are some of us newcomers who are still getting into this!
So, I rooted my phone, have ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, version 3 and my question is how we're going to update to official GB when it becomes available? Will we do it through official T-Mobile update, or will some of you guys make it available for us?
Thank you all!

Yes...
you should be about to get it either way. If you get the official update you will probably lose root... If you wait a few there will be a rooted version posted by one of the many xda members...

One more dumb question: Why is everybody so excited about the official GB update, when we have right now a few GB leaked versions with some custom ROMs (Bionix from TeamWhiskey, etc... ) available, for which as I hear, many say are excellent? Is this official one gonna be better in any significant way than these custom already out? Thanks! )

It will come with an official GB kernel and hopefully updated battery drivers and A2DP functionality...Amongst other LG fixes (again, hopefully).

OK, I get it... So, all these unofficial GBs are sort of limited because they lack these LG stuff they're (hopefully) putting into the official one. That's why it's smart to wait a bit more.

Hopefully it will fix most or all the problems.

Yes, that's the case. The leak has issues (which makes sense, it's not a finished build), and almost all Gingerbread mods are based on the leak so they have the same issues. I know CM7 is using the Gingerbread source instead and has fixed a lot of the issues, but not all of them.
The official update is not only going to be completely stable (hopefully) but will come bundled with better drivers/kernel support which will fix most of the common issues with the phone (hopefully).
I've gone through an Over The Air update to Android before, and if it's like what I experienced, you're going to get a pop-up that asks if you want to update now or later. Choose later if you want to keep root, someone here will have the official build rooted probably within the hour but definitely within the first couple of days.
In the mean time though, don't be scared of trying out one of the ROMs that are available. I swear by CM7, but I've heard wonderful things about EagleBlood and Ultimate too.

I have heard that official updating the rooted phone could actually brick it? And when a mod is nightly version, does it mean it it not completely stable? I am interested in CM7, but I could not find a stable version on their site.
Thanks!

i have question also since it's related to thread title. i'm running stock right now but rooted. once i update to gingerbread cm7, will i have to install all apps and settings all over? and will call log and stuff like that disappear also?

You should be able to get all of that stuff after startup my hitting the square boxes in the initial setup. Worked for me yesterday with the Eagleblood 2.3.4 ROM, when someone recommended it to me rather than Titaniumbackup which screwed up my phone a lot because I went from Froyo to GB

When I did an OTA update, it kept all of my apps and settings. I can't remember if it preserved call log.

I don't know if it will brick or not, my OTA was not rooted. And CM7 nightlies are NOT completely stable, but they're on build 58 by now and the ROM works perfectly fine. The only issue I can see with the phone is the top bar they added to the notifications menu that has toggle-able settings like WIFI, GPS, etc sometimes doesn't show up and in the camera, it calls both cameras "back" instead of one being "front".
But if you're concerned with stability that much, use the leak or EagleBlood.

[BETA][DEPRECATED]HC3.2 Prime 1.7 Beta Testing over

This is a full build of HC3.2 with some customisation. Please use this for testing purposes only.
Testing over - Please get the final version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204267
Beta Release
Prime 1.7 Beta
MD5: af5726b84c58f36052f843d2846670f3
Alpha Release
http://kan.gd/uzo
MD5: bc34b39b1c2702ba35da7ce1d86ac561
Custom Kernels from 3.1 sources DO NOT WORK with this so it's your own fault if you try and it breaks! There is now at least one kernel that works on 3.2. Please report feedback on compatibility.
I'm not sure whether all the built in apps are working ok as deodexing this was a ***** so please test to destruction.
I'll be adding all of the features from previous builds when I get time and also fixing any bugs reported in this thread.
To Do:
Deodex
Optimise and Zipalign apk's
Add init.d Support
Tweak scripts
Get AnyConnect working
Add PowerMods
Add Dock Battery Meter
Update pre installed apps to latest versions
Add WIFI Ad-Hoc Support
Bugs found so far (These may also be present in the stock ROM)
Weather Widget - Last update time shows PM 0:38 (Should be PM 12:38)
Flash framerate problem still present for some. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do with the ROM to fix the issue as it has to do with /data
Problems for some with Videos/Pictures not loading properly. Backup and wipe to see if the problem persists. - Appears to be inherited from the Asus Stock ROM
I'm uploading a beta release, everything form my previous ROMs is now in. I have more to do like play about with VPN stuff but this is of the standard of my previous builds atm.
I've also added a zipalign on boot script and an automatic module loader so cifs, voodoo and hopefully tun as well work out the box.
Zipalign on boot script donated by the Xoom Tiamat team and written for Bugless Beast by Pete.
Automatic module loader script was also from the Xoom team but I have modified that to suit my needs.
Also a special thanks to Tera Tike for the new boot animation sequence.
To all patiently putting up with my rubbish UK upload speeds...
I'll update the thread title when the upload completes so you don't have to keep checking in the thread. f5f5f5f5

Why alpha? Whats the main bug in this rom?

Can this be used on WW versions? Or only US?

Sounds pretty Awesome!

Alpha version? So, still buggy...

Installing now. I am coming from Clemsyn Rom and Kernel Combo and did a full wipe. Since this is a full package I hope it works. Thanks for you fast work on this Roach.

Flashed it, working great.
Anyconnect from Cisco still doesn't work, but VPN Connections does!
I think the problem with Anyconnect lies with Busybox. It the seems the software tries to install some files, but fails somehow.

See here for changes. Kernel is stock so far
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041502

Just installed it, apparently all the flashing process and loading the ROM was smooth and OK. So far I have noticed 2 issues: Quadrant benchmark cannot be run it gets stuck and freezes , the system tries to force fit to screen and also landscape mode, maybe this is the cause, the other is that I cannot play .mkv 720P or 1080P files that I used to be able to play before, the first video I tried to play oddly enough it offered me to start playing from where it was stopped last time(had memorized it apparently) but then it told me it couldn't play it, this was with the stock video player, then I tried it with Mobo player resulting in the same error: not able to play. This was tested with and without mini-hdmi connection to an external LCD TV. I will keep on testing it and reporting any issue. Maybe I will flash the netformer 1.5 kernel to see what happens....

I installed it and it boots fine. But 1.6 was smoother and the inputlag is really bad. I have just wiped cache and dalvik
Edit: ok, just let it settle a bit and now it runs great. Thank you for your work

wewt!
THANK YOU! great work once again roach ^_^ ; looks like my summer vacation has been cut short....lol

Good for you then! I tried several times and in the best case it showed a couple of graphical tests but stopped and did not finish, also I could not just get out of that application had to press the HOME icon.

Flashed Netformer and its not working. I get juust a lots of coloured stripes a croos the screen. Not possible to see anything. Going back to Alpha kernel and further testing

Sweet,quick work roach,i just got home,gonna try it now.
Edit:Works great so far,no problems so far,changed the wallpaper,connected to wifi ok,scrolls smooth and fast,internet browser seems to work fine,i dont see any big improvements or changes in this asus update,it looks and runs just like 3.1 to me,but then again im not technically smart,so i dont know what os improvements this brought for development.

[Q] Steam APk

Hi guys,
I have a SGS2 running ICS and i cant download Steam from the app market (cant post a link as i dont have enough posts, but its Steam as in Valve Corp for PC gaming etc).
Its saying my device isnt compatible?! Can someone post a download for the APK?
Would really appreciate it.
Regards Matt.

Well are you sure that the new Steam app is available for Android 4 ICS? there's a lot of apps not compatible with ICS yet, so maybe that's exactly why you can't install it.
The app is new as well and they're currently in a closed Beta fase, so it's normal that it may not work on ICS.

I didnt think of that. But then a lot of apps i cant download on the market because of this "incompatibility" issue i google the apk and manage to download them and they work fine.
Also this is the latest review left: "nextjonas on January 28, 2012 (Samsung Nexus S with version 1.0)
Received my invite yesterday
And it's really great so far. Everything I ever wanted from Valve! However, the RAM usage can peak at 100MB. This usage even killed other running processes like whatsapp service :O though nice app & looking forward for coming features =)"
Im assuming his device is running ICS 4.0? Also i think the picture of the device running steam mobile in the market is a Nexus S
Regards

Have you tried uninstalling+reboot and reinstalling+reboot and then try to open the app?
I've just installed Steam from the market on my SGS2 with AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 and it opened smoothly and fast, i just can't log in because i don't have an account... so this means that it IS compatible with ICS. Maybe your ROM has some issues with that? is it stable with other apps?

Yeah all my other apps work fine. Il give AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 a try and see how it goes. Before i do tho is it stable?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A

Yes, AndyX's v3.1 is stable but of course has some issues like any other ICS. He's now working on the LP6 version (latest leaked official samsung stock rom), the one it's based in now is the LP2 but it works well.
I'm waiting for his LP6 version though, meanwhile i'm testing other roms but so far Andy's is the one i liked the most.

Installed on sandvolds ics for desire ok for me, doubt it is an ics issue.
Just need an invite now...

Just installed AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 and its brilliant!! thanks for recommending it to me, also managed to install all of the apps i previously couldn't!

Sorry you should have read our next posts on the thread, it turned out to be compatible and be a ROM uncompatibility problem so i guess it's all good now to him.
Btw, AndyX v4.0 is out read the latest posts on the thread from Adesirello though because there's a little issue that will be fixed soon.

[Q] need help plz

I updated to android 4.0..and this update make my xperia neo v ver slow...evry application take more time to open and even some time it crash.camra,messging all take more time to open..it is dam very slow....even phone dialer take more time to open.

Ok....a few more details, please?
The million dollar question is, did you wipe the cache/dalvik cache before you flashed? Many roms overwrite the system and boot files, but only some devs bake the Superwipe into their roms when flashing. This is good and bad in its own way.

so plesa tell me what can i do and install best rom for Xperia neo V ?

Please do understand that ICS demands more processing power, especially visually. I have an Evo 4g which is a monster on just about any GB rom, but not so much on ICS. I tend to notice the little things, like the FPS while switching screens, slight delays when scrolling up and down a page with a lot of text, etc.
In other words, you might have to accept that your phone might not do as well with ICS of JB.

As far as your broken videos go, you have to read the info that the developer posted about what works and what doesn't. If videos are listed as working, contact the dev. Or, you can also download Mobo Player from the Play Store send download a codec original asked you too. That should solve your videos problem. If not, try to download and flash your rom again.
Going back to GB (Android 2.3.x ).is a decision you will have to make for yourself. Don't be afraid to try different roms. You never know what gold you might find.

Alternative Download Link​

The Thread is open I hope that anyone with a Cruz T301 is still interested in this ROM. Most people have moved on but I figured I would provide files downloads and help. Anyone that wants to play around with my update and put different things into can. Feel free to use it as a base for other Roms.

Awesome.. Don't quit now! Over clock kernel would be the best thing it's ever seen!

Been using this rom for a few days now and I love it... it's fast, sleek and haven't had any problems with it... excluding the root issue..
Any updates on when the root issue is going to be fixed? I've tried my hand at rooting it myself but keep running into the dreaded "SU: unknown user root" issue.

It is in the works, but I keep running into bootloop issues with A3 that I am trying to smooth out before releasing it. Currently an ETA isn't available... But I promise It is in the works!

Soo any updates?

Problem with Opera
Hello,
First thank you for this great work.
I installed Resurrection 2.2.1 version without problem.
By cons when I try to install Opera message says "your device is not compatible."
Same with Firefox. Any idea?
Thank you for your answers.
Excuse my bad English is not my native language!

Works great! Thanks Feyer
Hi I am a noob android enthusiast that got a t301 from a friend to mess around with. After reading a lot of your earlier forum work on this project I decided to try the Alpha Resurrection and it works great Thank you soooooo much for making this tablet useful again! Your tweaks and deletions of garbage was just what this baby needed. Don't know where we would all be without yourself and Steven J Hill, but thanks to you both. I signed up for xda just to tell ya that. Your directions were clear and worked great! I think some folks that were having probs may not have cleared out all caches like you suggest, as I have encountered similar probs on other roms. All in all a great ROM and it has been fun reading the forums and watching ya grow into your own dev self Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching for updates.

Great development :thumbup:

No I have no clue how to develop a kernel... had a few guys peeter out on me with development and so I have slowed down on making a new version. For some reason Root doesn't hold and I have tried all the tricks I know. It is weird developing for MiPS

I had never heard of MiPS before this tablet. But I'm starting to mess with developing, so I'll give a kernel a go when I get to that point

Yea it seems like MIPS is generally used in china only and so development is very limited. You can always swing by http://www.imgtec.com/mips/developers/ and get started there... kinda a pain to work with since I have not really found any other developers to help me out I'm not really an experienced dev haha

Well if you find success let me know and I will take a crack at adding it to the updated version of the ROM. I am still trying to find out why it doesn't allow super user access. It has been a real puzzler.
