[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.

No offence intended, but don't you think that we have more than enough GB Roms for our Desire? Just go through the fora, you have a plethora of Roms customized in all ways imaginable. Yet, we still haven't got one single perfectly stable ICS or JB rom.
Just saying

@OP: can you upload some screenshots?

For this question, GB roms are way easier to make/mod than ics/jb (for starters), so the creator won't have to worry about not booting a lot (wasted a lot of my times modding ICS stuffs, too and they don't work.)
And please correct those grammar errors :silly:

We do not have up to date 2.3.7 rom with latest MIUI framework and multilanguage, or point me to the link, because I only use MIUI on my phones since the day I discovered it...

Hi need some info, what about hboot? Or any info about data2sd etc as we know stock storage is very low, any scripts are included? Int2sd etc? And it will be nice to get little install info and screens
/Sent from HTC Desire/

V2 is done and will make a better post.... with screens..
sorry it's a long time since I have post something here ( was cooker for omnia and Acer s200 ...winmobile all)
Was so happy to release, but this clearly was an alpha.
too much french inside ^^
Now V2 will be more english as base, and 24 languages.
Here in france the roms autodetect seems provider correctly and language is automatically set (don't really know how is it done, but as soon as I enter my pin code, it autodetects carrier location and switch automatically in french)
Hope you will like it, and hope it will be stable enough for everyday use of every MIUI lovers here!

Aroma installer, multiple choice APP2SD,APP2SD+, and D2EXT, you must choose personnalized install!
The rom check for space thanks to aroma, it's for stock HBOOT only because I can't test on another.
My desire is near of death, constant random reboots when use data... or when charging and using it....

Okay, that exact description is probably not met by any rom other than yours. I respect your work, I just thought that developing Android 4.x (with MIUI or anything else on top) for our Desires could be more interesting since GB is already stabilized and "tamed" whereas ICS/JB are not.
Concerning slow ICS/JB builds, I'm gonna have to disagree with that. Scratch what I said earlier. Today I found a CM9.1 Rom for the HTC Desire on a spanish forum; it is ROCK solid, as stable as a GB rom. On XDA itself, there are a few devs working on JB for the Desire with great success; they managed to get Project Butter up and running, which is quite a feat. But there are still some stability issues with a2sd scripts and the camera.
Anyway, good luck with your work.

I gave V1 a go this morning, felt really smooth. Had to swap back to the daily driver for work, looking forward to V2.

[Q] Cm 10.1-20130102 nightly s-voice/google search

Pretty awesome and stable rom will use for a dd. I've been looking on the forums to see other peoples experiences, most are pretty good. I have a question on my own though. Is anyone having issues with google search / and s-voice? Does anyone know if there is a fix for these 2, or are they still in development?

I'm not sure about S-Voice (is it even possible to install that in CM?) but google search, voice search and text-to-speech all worked fine for me on 1/2/13 nightly. I dirty flashed from 12/26 nightly and have had no problems thus far.

Thanks for your input. I'm sorry for my ignorance, i'm still new on the rooting/rom scene. I assume that when you say "dirty flash" you mean, you don't restore to factory default, wipe the dalvik cash or cash? and just install over the original rom you were running before?

[Q] What is the best custom Rom of JB or Kitkat with minimum effective bugs ???

Hello every body :

you can use cm 10.0(android 4.1.2) pure galaxy rom, its the best in jellybean without any bugs(wifi tether,camcorder problem), or you can use speedmod which is based on kitkat 4.4.2.(wiffi hotspot and camcorder bug), kitkat is more fast :silly:

it is mentioned, that camera is buggy as in any other android 4.0+ rom on our device

ya camera will be slow it takes about 5 sec for a click and the battery thing, battery backup will be less as compared to gingerbread, but its actually not of great importance as phone performance is highly improved check out the rom threads and get assured

I recommend running the Speedmod KK by GiuGiu19 i have found it to be very user friendly and havn't found to many bugs bar the ones you are previously told about. The battery on the other hand i feel gives me way more use then when i was running Stock ROM GB, i recommend changing but the choice of which ROM you use is your choice download them both and have a play around then pick which is built better to suit you.
Thank me if i helped, just a click away :silly:

Thanks @Jaspersdream28,
but you didn't tell me what are these few bugs you are facing with SM KK ??????
sorry for my disturbance and thanks at all
@all,
anyone else have another experience ???????
Thanks in advance

I posted this in the q and a thread on this ROM some are possibly the apps others are because of the ROM
1. I cannot sync contacts into my contact list for example my Facebook can't sync, the account is added in the settings but nothing appears in my contacts list no one is added.
2. When I use "File Commander" the default file manager I can access the my external SD card but it is read only. I can open things on it etc but I cannot move anything onto it without going on my PC.
You can make the external SD the primary one but still this isn't because of this ROM its kitkat in general
3. "Now Launcher" (Browser) doesn't load pages properly. I know this is probably the app but is it possible its because the ROM doesn't come preinstalled with Adobe flash player?
4. Sometimes the messenger keyboard doesn't go away after I reply to a message through the notification bar I have to press back for it to go away.

I use Speedmod 2.2.1 (Based on KK 4.4.2) it has no major bugs :good: (camrecorder and wi-fi bug is FIXED by russian developer, I don't remember his nickname, like Vergiliy or smth like this). Works much faster than stock rom or CM 10.2 and older.

[Q] Give a second life to my Nexus S

Hi,
I decided to post my own topic and not in the CM11 thread, because this is probably not a CM11 issue. As you know, the Nexus S has only 512MB of RAM including video. Mine has been having quite a lot of slowdowns (apps refreshes/restarts) for the past weeks. I am wondering what I could do to help it and avoid buying a new phone (no money and I still love that phone).
However now, there are few things that I can't do anymore.
- I can't listen to BeyondPod (podcasts) and receive/send SMS in Hangout. There's not enough RAM to run both apps and even when I am listening to BeyondPod, the SMS alert might not trigger when a SMS is received. This happens in few apps here and there.
- Sometimes, someone calls me and the screen stays black so I can't answer. Again, this is due to RAM usage.
- I use SwiftKey as keyboard and it can't take 30-45 seconds to load in some apps such as Chrome.
I am running CM11 Nightlies. I usually update CM11 once per 2 weeks with the lastest Nightly available. I don't wipe the entire configs, I just upgrade. It's been a while since I've wiped everything to be honest. I probably updated CM10 to CM11 without wiping the configs. This might be one thing to try but I am not sure if it would help to regain some RAM/juice. I am running the stock kernel of CM11. I know there are few kernels with a bigmem patch, but does it really work ?
As for launcher, I am running Apex Launcher as well with SwipePad. Greenify runs in the background and hibernate pretty much every apps it can. I don't have the Greenify donation package, so it won't hibernate on the system apps.
I am wondering if wiping everything and installing a stable version of CM11 (or another lighter ROM?) would help. I would use TItanium Backup to reinstall the apps and their settings. I wouldn't use TiB to push the configs of the ROM if CM11 is reinstalled. Would a kernel or ROM with bigmem patch a good idea ?
This would probably be a temporary fix, because apps and ROMs are asking for more and more CPU/RAM these days.
Thanks for any input,
Neo.

A clean flash isn't a bad idea, just backup your rom first.. Backup your apps/ data on your SD with titanium backup and then you can just restore them.. You could try my stable v1.1 script and use Guru (CM kernel with bigmem) or Devil and you will notice the improvement.. Also the CM m9 is a very nice rom.. Happy flashing..

Thanks for your answer Setting.Out.
Before I receive your answer, I did some research on my side as well. It turns out that I have downloaded your ROM (the Farewell edition) and the cn.fyodor AOSP 4.4.3 ROM. I decided to go ahead and install the AOSP ROM instead of yours. I wanted to try AOSP instead of CM, being a CM user for the past 2-3 years. While I was satisfied with the AOSP ROM for the past day or 2, I am now unsure if I will keep it. While performances are good compared to what I was used to, I have some issues. The videos in YouTube are lagging like crazy (although videos in VLC work fine) and the audio stutter sometimes. I listen to a lot of music and each few minutes, it will stutter for a split second. I never had that issue with CM11. Also, I can't find a kernel with bigmem on AOSP. There is the marmite kernel from bedalus which seemed promising, but everyone is having FC with the Google Play Store and BLN/BLD isn't working anymore on this kernel.
How does your ROM compare with CM11 ? I know yours is CM based. Is there less "bloatwares" in yours ? CM install lots of stuff (themes, bugs reporting, etc) and I don't want that. I prefer to use the Xposed Framework instead of a ROM with multiple settings that I don't use. Having a CM based ROM would be nice to be able to flash the Guru kernel.

It basically is CM11, a little less bloated, but similar feature set.. Give it a try, you can always flash another rom if it doesn't suite you.. Slim 5.1 is another favorite of mine, if you'd like to try that one you'll need to search their thread as it wasn't a public release..

Your "Farewell edition" is Kitkat 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ? So that I can download the appropriate Gapps. I also understand that the Gapps you provide in your thread are a minimal package, so my Nexus S doesn't run out of space (which happened to me few months ago due to the new official Gapps package).
