HTC: Updates to Ice Cream Sandwich will begin in March - Desire General

Bad news htc desire isn't on the list, the good news desire s and desire HD is so am thinking this will be easier for the devs on here to port? yes/no?

No. Makes no difference. Neither have the adreno 200 gpu, which is our only issue.
We have known this for the longest time.

Thanks o well just thought i'll post it.

Yeah. Unfortunately the adreno 200 is so old, there are no ics releases for phones that have these.
We may manage to hack it, but without qualcomm releasing source code drivers, we're stuck.

@rootSU : Well...this also means that we should get a newer phone...this is the message which Qualcomm and HTC are trying to pass on us

Reverse engineering anybody ?
Oh yeah , it'll take a long time . :/

the ICS ports for nexus one and desire are making progress though - so I wonder if this (DHD/DS roms) and a pretty well hacked together AOSP ICS rom will help.

I dont think so. Everything that isnt hardware restricted is resolved.

Is USB not hardware?
But yes you have a point, if USB tethering doesnt work (really? doesnt it?) then who knows...
Didnt know anyone used usb cables for anything other than charging

Yes, we do
The good thing about USB tethering, it charges and gives you connectivity at the same time.
The good thing about USB tethering, you can tether UMTS connectivity obviously...
...AND as well wireless connectivity, quite useful on authenticated hotspots overseas (hotels, airport lounges,...) to get a connection both on laptop and handset with a single voucher.
imho, wifi tethering is just a geeky feature, very handy to drain the battery in no time.
Except if you can plug the USB while you wifi-tether... Remind you of something ?

I agree with you 100%! I used the USB cable for Internet Passthrogh. Since I used the ICS ROMs this feature is mised. For many of us it will be very useful.

No need. cm7 is already on, no problem to upgrade to cm9...

External Gamepad

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any aftermarket gamepads/keyboards that can attach to the Galaxy via bluetooth/micro usb.
This is due to my friend showing off his Xperia Play, which obviously isn't quite the phone that the SGS2 is. But bragging rights are always nice.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I've had a look at Zeemote JS1, MSI Chainpus BGP100, Phonejoy and iControlPad. None are what I'm after, I was picturing something that transforms the phone into something similar to the Xperia Play, but it doesn't seem to exist
Phonejoy. There's a thread about it here and it can be bought here.
Thanks
I was thinking more along the lines of something smaller, that attaches to the device? I understand that there probably isn't anything out there. But it could be something to look forward to as the phone becomes more popular
Towards the end of the thread the icontrolpad is mentioned. I don't think there's much else that works yet though.
I'd like a phonejoy personally, but that's to hook up to my 50" plasma and MHL adaptor, not really a great portable system!

That would be quite nice! It could also work well with my ASUS TF101. I guess we'll have to give it time, or give up
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it
I've always thought about getting a Gamepad then the HDMI cable. Basically playing Emulators on the big screen. That basically be making your phone a game system.
I'm running CyanogenMod, because I love it. But they haven't sorted the HDMI drivers, so I haven't got a cable yet. What would the display look like on a 32" LCD or 50" LCD? That's quite a resolution stretch!

Will do, I was thinking about getting an extended battery. (Samsung just released a 2000 MaH)

From memory it has been discussed before and the answer was no. At the moment the search function is down so I can't even find the thread for you...
Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please note, search is down nightly from 12:30AM Eastern / 4:30AM UTC for approximately 20-30 minutes.
Edit:
It apparently works with CyanogenMOD and MIUI. It won't run on anything based on the stock firmware.

Right now, the CyanogenMod and MUIU roms don't have fully functional bluetooth drivers, due to the sheer complexity in writing them. Team Hacksung is working on this though, as far as I'm aware the only part of bluetooth that is working is file transfer.

Are you sure (I guess you are though!)? After reading through some of the threads yesterday it seemed as if people already had them working. I guess I misread/misunderstood.
I need to get some cash together to get a phonejoy, have been wanting one for a while now (just hard to justify!!).
I'm not 100% sure. That was my interpretation. I've decided to get an MHL adapter, and a Phonejoy. They'll fix the drivers eventually if they're not working already
Wiimotes etc do work with MIUI and CM already, lots of user reports confirming this.
MHL doesn't work though, and considering TV Out in the original SGS was a problem for CM developers (still not working as far as I'm aware), it may be some time before they sort out that aspect for us with our SGSIIs.
Well I just bought both, I might go back to a Samsung rom. CyanogenMod has been less than impressive with updates lately
EDIT: Is this as impressive as it sounds?

Sweet, a visit from the much quoted man himself. Now you can answer questions without me having to locate your old threads.
Having no MHL is a major for me. Why bother with a wiimote if you're playing on a 4.3" screen... Just my opinion of course. I'd much rather the Phonejoy/MHL combo.
His reviews sold me
It was a pleasure, gentlemen.

[Q] Micro USB to HDMI does it work on XPlay

I have updated to 2.3.4 and i was in the service menu (press *#*#7378423#*#* ) and it has an option to turn on/off HDMI and also it gives a few setting to mess around with.
So my question is has anybody tried this? or if you have a Micro USB to HDMI cable hanging around can you try it and see if it works.

there is a HDMI port just below the left touchpad, but they concealed it and marketed it as no-HDMI device to avoid further competition with the Arc.. only expo PLAYs have the HDMI port.. besides, if you added HDMI to the Play, it would be the all-around phone overshadowing the arc, which i suppose, is marketing strategy at its best..

In which sense is asking for proof being a prick? You need not to tear up your Play yourself, you can show us someone else doing it with his own retail model.
And about why there is an HDMI menu under that code, given that the whole 2011 Xperia range comes with the same architecture, it would be fully unsurprising to find that menu in Xperia Ray, mini, Mango (mini pro), and Active, which are the phones without HDMI capability.
So Sony Ericsson is hiding HDMI and an FM Radio from us? I have seen the FM Radio app and tried to install it, but it failed.

The FM-Radio app won't ever work as it's disabled at hardware level, though it supports it. You'll need some dev to enable it, prob in a kernel, but don't think it's high on the to do dev/modding list
SE should've had the HDMI on our devices at release, but they chose not to, nothing to do about that really, though it defo would've been nice with that feature

USB to LAN for S2

Hi guys,
i am in the need of having a lan port on my S2. i found these
http://www.hitechleague.com/android-tablets-accessories/usb-2-0-ethernet-adapter-rj-45
and
http://www.euogo.com/usb-lan-adapte...to-rj45-adapter-for-android-tablets_p420.html
but i don't know if they are going to work. Anyone have any opinions on this?
Interested too!
Well I've read somewhere that in theory it is possible. The only problem is you'd have to write a driver for the phone which isn't very easy.
Maybe you already know it, but if you have a laptop available you can share the lan connection via wifi with Connectify.
If you have windows 7 (vista I'm not sure of) you don't even have to use a third party program. But your wireless card should support packet injection. Sadly enough mine doesn't.
Nevertheless LAN to USB can be useful. A few weeks ago I was staying in a hotel that said it had wifi. But it didn't only via cable. I only brought my phone. So there I was alone in an alley hogging of somebodies wifi in the rain trying to congratulate my girlfriend on here graduation.
I'm really looking into a travel router now. D-link's dap 1350 for example.

I only use it to stream music from my Netbook which is running iTunes but I believe it will act as a wifi hotspot and is not much bigger than a mains adaptor. If you plug it into the network then it should pick up an IP and if you have configured it at home then it will act as a normal wifi router.

USB Host does nothing? :(

So my USB host wire came today! i plugged in my flash drive and nothing... No messages no LED lights... nothing.... I tried plugging in a keyboard and nothing happen either... I am using calkulins e4gt 2.9. I tried looking in the ROM's thread with the search feature I found someone asking the same question but no replies...
Does anyone have any ideas?

USB host support has not been included in any ROMs/kernels as of today. hopefully some devs start to take an interest (like jamcar, who is trying to get it working on his DARKSTAR rom) but DO NOT pester the devs for this tho, if you ask once and it goes ignored, leave it.

if by stock firmware you mean Android 2.3.x i dont believe so - it was only working with the initial stock firmware for the int'l version at release then for whatever reason Samsung decided to disable the feature and every update after that had it disabled. but from conversing with jamcar:

I thought usb host would have to be enabled by the kernel not just the rom. Such as how it works on the tmobile version by flashing a custom recovery kernel. Darkstar rom might support it, but it has to be done in the kernel also, but I may be wrong.

i actually think its the other way around. according to jamcar, its already present in the kernel. and i think because he saw that, he thought it would already be supported in his rom when it evidently is not (dont mean to put so much pressure on him)

No you cant use a gsm kernel on a cdma phone but the usb host code is a part of android since honeycomb. ICS has it too. Hopefully it will get re-enabled once we have a stable ICS OTA.

USB OTG/Host Mode

Now that the source code has dropped, are any developers considering adding USB OTG/Host Mode anytime soon? I'd be willing to donate if someone got it working or was actively working on it.
For anyone wondering what this is: USB OTG/Host Mode allows you to connect other devices to your E4GT (IE: Flash Drive, HDD, Keyboard, Monitor, DLSR Camera, etc.) and use/access them. It is supported by the International SGS2 and the US Carriers, but for some reason Sprint disabled this functionality in the kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802740 credit for this link goes to dberend! It's a usb otg helper link, but our phone are missing some modules if I understand correctly. They end in the file extension ".ko"
Last I heard Agats kernel was recognizing that a OTG device was connected! I'm not sure if it is working completely yet though.
Responses are appreciated!

USB OTG/Host Mode lets you connect a USB device to your E4GT, like a Thumb Drive, External Hard Drive, Keyboard, xBox Controller, etc. It's useful for a variety of reasons.
If this is in the wrong section, will a mod move it? Thanks in advance!

Yeah its a very useful feature. I heard a few people mention the E4GT supports it, but that it was disabled in the kernel
It doesn't appear that very many people are interested in this, should I let this thread die?
i am still interested in this
I would use this function for sure.. even though you can already make these by combining a power cord with some kind of microUSB-to-USB adapter.. basically a "powered" mUSB-to-sUSB adapter..
Before I read about them, I bought an adapter that I thought would work, but not the right one.. then I read about making them yourself is possible.. but I never tried it yet..
If they were an already built accessory, I would use it to mount a multi-port USB hub, then connect a keyboard and mouse.. I of course would need to figure out how to use both the HDMI out AND the USB hub.. it would be seriously sick to use your phone literally like a mini PC!

I would use this function for sure.. even though you can already make these by combining a power cord with some kind of microUSB-to-USB adapter.. basically a "powered" mUSB-to-sUSB adapter..
Before I read about them, I bought an adapter that I thought would work, but not the right one.. then I read about making them yourself is possible.. but I never tried it yet..
If they were an already built accessory, I would use it to mount a multi-port USB hub, then connect a keyboard and mouse.. I of course would need to figure out how to use both the HDMI out AND the USB hub.. it would be seriously sick to use your phone literally like a mini PC!

The SGS2 International and SGS2 from other carriers supports it, but for some reason Sprint disabled it in the Kernel? I'm not 100% why its not yet supported..... all I know is that its possible, and I want to be able to mount my Flash Drive, HDD, and plug my phone into an HDMI converter for my HDTV and bluetooth a mouse/keyboard combo.... mini-PC, like you said
I added a poll to see what level of interest people have about this

Very interested, there is an app for controlling Canon DSLRs that I want to use which requires this.
Thanks for not flaming guys. I'm moving this to general as it looks like it could become more of a discussion thread.

I am also interested. I bought a few of these usb cables on ebay- but none worked. I would like to use a usb keyboard...which right now I am considering buying another bluetooth keyboard.
I'm also extremely interested. Would be very awesome.
