Just wondering what CM7 AOSP apps can be run on top of touchwiz ui? Do they have to be ported? I havent received my T989 yet, but ill most likely be trying to gut anything TW out of it before i even use it.
Browser?
MMS / SMS?
Email?
Thanks for any info.
I can't believe I never noticed this before but my keyboard does not show up when I long press menu. Now that I think about it I don't know that I have ever tried it before in ICS. Has this functionality just been removed in ICS or is it working for anyone else? If it works for you, which ROM are you running?
BTW I am running official AOKP Milestone 6.

As far as I know it was removed when ICS came along. I've flashed a lot of ICS/ JB ROMs and none of them have that feature

Most phones with official ICS don't use the menu button anymore. So unless the dev adds that option you really wont ever have that function.

Thanks for the replies both of you. I guess it makes sense that it wouldn't have that functionality since new phones don't have the menu button anyways. I remember having to use quite often when filling out online forms in 2.2 and 2.3 but I haven't ever needed it in ics so I would guess that most websites have gotten better at pulling up the keyboard when needed.
It might be nice if devs decide to build it back in but I'm not too worried about it (and I guess no one else is either since I've never seen anything posted about it) so its probably not worth their time and effort.

It looks like the issue has been addressed in Android 4.2 on the Nexus and some people have worked on porting this updated messaging app into their ROMs. I have looked through all of the available ROMs and cannot seem to find the most recent version in them. I might be missing what I am looking for though. Does anyone know if the changes found here are available in any ROMs?:

I would even take a stock rooted rom with these changes in it if I had to. If messing around with a ROM kitchen is the answer that is fine too. I might have to go that route.

I would love to dump GOSMS hopefully this happens
The slim ROM seems to have it. Native group messaging and it seems to work. Some messages, although small seem to be slow to download. But that could just be me.

Hello all.... I have a question. I have an xperia ion atat and have good old ICS still... With atat updating to jb soon.... Or not.... I'm looking into just flashing to jb. I see others with atat have done the same but I'm not getting any pm's back about it... Exactly how can you flash it if your not able to unlock the boot loader? I'm not exactly new to xda.. Rooted and unlocked boot loader on Sony arc and had the x10.. I'm just out of practice... I also looked at the firmwares for ion seeing the international version of jb was out and I know you can flash it to atat... But is it really that simple? Just get cwm.. Install new h version and flash it?? Any help would be great...
Sent from my LT28at using XDA Premium HD app
In order to flash JB on a LT28at you'll need an .ftf file of the jb firmware you want...and download/install the latest version of flashtool for your PC...The wiki at the top of this forum section has all the details on how to do both, and where to get both...
That is the 'easiest' way to do it...You can then find doomlord's easy root kit w/ busybox and superSU for the lt28at, run that...then linked in the same page was a cwm installer all for the latest .211 lt28h JB...so you'll be rooted with custom recovery in no time...
you can do that the other way around; there are a few pre-rooted JB offerings floating around somewhere...and you install them from an already rooted w/ cwm phone...so it just depends on what you're looking to do...flashtool is easy, and the root kit/cwm kit is also easy...i'd just do that and be done with it...
just be aware, JB desperately needs another update...there are some pretty critical bugs some of us have experienced...using gps would crash my phone (running something like greenify after rooted as 100% fixed that, though), the camera is 'unusable' according to most for video (no idea why but i'm not really noticing this one)...some have a useless volume up button, etc...
Seeing as you have a att device I would suggest you use the LT28i rogers firmware. There is a new root kit in the S dev section for it now and will be added to dooms root tool in version 18. It will be much easier to use that firmware so you don't have to worry about base bands and stuff. I had quite a few issues with losing my LTE on the h version. I would also suggest you not use the Sony backup to restore your apps. Use Titanium backup or something and restore just your apps with no data. You can use Sony backup for call log and messages.
Hey thanks for the reply's and tips. I flashed the H version then read what you said.. Lol sure enough lost LTE. I flashed the I version and not one single problem now.... Nothing,... Recording video is fine... Phone works better.... Battery is still crap but whatever. But im not seeing any issues really...
But thank you guys
As always XDA is a very helpful place.
lt28i (rogers) ion super slow on JB
Hi Does any one else have issues with laggy keyboards and an overall slow phone after "upgrading" to JB? I have disabled all of the useless rogers junk and whatever and have hardly any apps installed but the phone is slow and sometimes the keyboard is painfully slow to react. Example I am typing and I press the space bar and the spacebar will stay pressed for maybe 1 second when I am not even touching it. I have 0 issues with laggyness when I was running ICS and I could have my phone full of apps.
The same slowness is on my girfriends lt28i from rogers too after she did the 'Upgrade".
Just wondering if I am alone on this cause I always see posts about how great it is on the ion and how smooth etc. but I am not seeing it.

No I'm not having any keyboard issues. I even tried different keyboards and still nothing. So far I only found one problem and it has to do with sending a mms.. The picture just sits there sending. But keyboard wise no, not an issue for me. I'm guessing your using the Xperia keyboard? Maybe try the Google one.. Its not bad. There are a few others that seem to work with out issues.

Ya I don't know why it doesn't like my phone or my girlfriend's phone. When it get super slow I check to see how much ram is in use and it is around 500mb. This phone is supposed to have 1gb but mine seems to have only about 660mb.
Well I am back to ICS and everything feels fast and fluid and smooth again! JB really doesn't like my 2 phones. I tried updating using SUS and also with flashtool but the results are the same.
Well its ok, I didn't really notice much difference with JB anyway. I will stay on ICS for now. maybe if they have a new build of JB I will try again.

Yeah that is strange... Lol I fixed my messaging problem. It was me having a extra period in the .net part... Simple mistake but solved anyways. Sorry to hear jb wasn't working for you.

On stock Rogers there is no lag that I saw. Now that I have added some of the Honami stuff I do get keyboard lag from time to time. Another thing I have noticed is if you pull all the FB crap out the phone it runs quite a bit better. There are still some bugs in JB for sure but I would suspect we will see newer firmware versions before long.
I was having quite a issue with LTE settings vanishing from my device on the H firmware. On the Rogers it has been allot better and seems to have less bugs.
Even the best of us get problems. Problems we can't solve with our own knowledge.
Basically, running newest Facebook Messenger on my Xperia Arc S. Even though messages come in perfectly, I do not get any notifications about the received message. A tiny 1 appears on the Messenger icon, but that's all (attached screenshot). Chat Heads does not appear, no notification in the status bar (SystemUI) nor any vibration or sound. I have checked all notification settings, everything is turned on and should be working.
The only vibration, that happens at all, is when the Messenger is already open and someone else (than current conversation) sends me a message.
Current phone setup is Gin2JellyBean ROM (Android 2.3.7), version 2.5.2, with GB Lupus v2 kernel and 64 baseband.
I have tried clearing app data, reinstalling Messenger app, reinstalling ROM and kernel, changing baseband, tried also DooMKernel v22. On the internet, I found recommendations to not use more than one Facebook Android app, though it did not fix it either.
Does anyone have any ideas, possible solutions? Or has anyone occurred similar thing?
Just to add, I will not move over to another ROM.
Well, GB is quite old, and the apps keep getting updated so there may be something in GB breaking the notification mechanism. Did you check with someone else on the same ROM if they had the same problem?
You may also want to try with an older version of Facebook messenger and see if it works.

I was expecting people with same ROM to post here, if they have such issue or not.
GB is the only firmware, that currently works out for me, thereby I do not wish to change ROMs. None of the ICS ROMs has satisfied me yet.
Will try out older version of the app.
EDIT: Older version (2.7.2) made no difference, old design, but still same issue with the notifications.

try flashing framework-res from another rom. If problem is still there, include systemUI. I had this one problem before about notifications because frameworkxml doesn't stack with custom systemUI.
Did you freeze google play services? Its the main cause of not getting notifications. Btw i had done that so i didnt get.
Edit: on ics roms also the same stuff. Not get notifications. Maybe the app has some issue.

Hmm, this may be a problem, as framework-res is tightly linked to many parts of the system and changing it may cause issues. I will try it out and see if I can fix it.

I doubt the issue lies there, though will try it out.
EDIT: I must have misread the first time. I never froze that app, as it is vital at my daily usage.
Time to update on this issue. I just installed an ICS ROM, Anzumi 1.3, and the issue is still around. Using stock kernel and stock baseband from .587 firmware (which is 77, if I am not mistaken) and newest Messenger.
Gonna do a last try with stock firmware some time soon...
EDIT: Attached picture of logcat when I receive a Facebook message. Starting with the first line of 12-15 20:37:22:801
EDIT again: Using older version (2.7.2-release) now works, will try it out for more time.
So its app issue or maybe we are missing some lib files for them to work. We have to check it on stock ics. If it works there then we can confirm the rom developers removed some libs for space or whatsoever reason
Edit: I'm using kitkat and i face same issue here

Since the app failed to work on GB and ICS both (and now as well KitKat), then I am feeling the issue lies within the application.

Hello
An update on this. I updated messenger app from playstore. I have playservices freezed and also no native facebook app installed. Now messenger works well. Even notification arrives properly and even those chat pop ups work.
So I can conclude this update solves that issue.
Cheers,
Vatsal
Sweet, thanks for the info
