Develop Bugs

CyanogenMod 9 is coming...

Like many of you, I'm sure, I jump around XDA and browse different forums for anything interesting. This particular one... put a smile on my face. Happy to start seeing some public releases on this.

i already have CM9 installed on my old I9000
is fun to play around with, but not ready for prime time, because a lot of the Android Market apps that i use on a daily basis are not compatible yet with ICS
so it's going to be a long painful wait before being able to enjoy ICS fully, even if it becomes available for our T989

i agree. prolly best to just get a new ICS device if you want that. but.. it's still good to see the evolution of software.

eehhhhhh... what does that has to do with getting a new hardware?
the current hardware are perfectly fine, just the programmers needs to get their things together and make sure their software are ICS compatible

There's quite a few devices with cm9 alphas already. We wont be waiting to long to see it on our phone.

Even the g2x has a alpha version of cm9 working since Thanksgiving night so I'm sure this phone will have it soon. Also this is my first Samsung smartphone I am hoping Samsung does a little better than LG when it comes to updates and support for their phone. The g2x was a nightmare thank God I had one of the few g2x's that did not have all the bugs.

I thought it was common knowledge that CM9 was being developed. No?

This thread is a fail. What does Nexus S development have anything to do with the GS2 ICS rom? They are entirely different chipsets.

like allgamer said until apps become more compatible gingerbread is probably better for everyday use right now. I don't really see the big deal and rush in getting ICS.

Thanks. Added to my feed for updates.

It would be cool if/when it becomes possible for our phones to multi-boot or at least a savvy developer creates a VMWare-esque app or any other way for any other way for us to use multiple ROMs simultaneously without the need to backup, wipe, flash, repeat for each different ROM we wanna try. For example, this would be useful for us to try out a ROM that's not daily driver-ready without wiping our daily driver. Just a thought...

Jelly bean

So is anyone excited for this update like i am i know its not a major one but what we do have is great
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT IT

i think jelly bean is exciting, a massive speedup in terms of the UI, new notifications, new stuff in the play store. awesome speech stuff and new google search... and thats just what i can remember

smh. One whiff (a small one at that) and noses go wide open.
Shouldn't we wait for the ics update first?

That will never happen. The only way JB is hitting our phone is if we do it.
I'm really thinking of going back to a Google phone. Less of the features I really want, but at least the new toys hit it first and fast.
Oh and yea Galaxy S is getting it!! But Sammy will never push it to our phones, and you all know I'm right.

i think for the most part the new notification is by far what im after camera upgrade to

Offline voice actions will be a huge help to the utility and speed of voice commands. Other than that, meh. Of course I'm excited though, and will flash anything
I'm definitely waiting for the next Nexus for my next phone purchase. It's hard to not get caught up in the GS3 hype, but its such a minor upgrade to our phones' specs......the GS3 will be many, many months before it sees 4.1.

Hope Samsung port it to the S3 fast. So we can use it. I like it really much!
So guys ... keep it rockin' ;-)

I'm guessing because most people wouldn't be toting a tablet around to take pictures of other things besides themselves. With my original galaxy tab, I was surprised how well the back camera did for video but it was too easy to cover the mic with your hand when in landscape mode. Also, the official portfolio case for it covered the rear camera and led.

A little OT but all the laptops that google is using during the google IO are Macs.... LOL

So I didn't have an android phone during the froyo to gingerbread update, which from my understanding is more like this than 2.3 to 4.0. I know we have had lots of trouble with kernel source and all sorts of other issues. Was this due to the fact that it was such a big difference, and so maybe this time it would be easier for our great devs to get this going for us once code drops? Obviously we can't know for sure until then and I'm not trying to offend anyone or seem greedy, I am just curious if this is how android works, or if not.
Thanks.

That is because google banned windows a long time ago from their offices.

So, can anybody think of any good reasons why we couldn't get the new voice search and Google Now on our phones now? I personally don't understand why we would need a new operating system for that. But, I really know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes with programming and development, so I could be totally wrong. What are your thoughts?

Worth switching over?

Okay so I just dropped my HTC One S and it completely shattered the screen.
I'm getting a replacement and I'm going to sell that replacement.
Question to you is, how is the Galaxy Nexus?
I might get a 4.1 Jelly Bean one for $350 from the Play Store?
I know it's going from 1.5GHz to 1.2GHz but I'm not sure here, help?

It's not bad...depends on what you want. Everything except the camera is good on galaxy nexus.

You don't get it...

One S is pretty fast phone, and what I see here is it's going to get JB pretty soon.
Galaxy nexus is pretty laggy on ICS, but very smooth on JB.
So it's the matter of few months for One S and JB, if you want new OS ASAP GN all the way.

They said they're "working on Jellybean". NO SH~T they're working on it. Doesn't mean that its coming soon. Just look at the past... If you think that HTC will update the One series to 4.1 faster than they've done previous updates, you're losing your mind.

I came from a g note and the nexus is plenty fast, but as is said on here over and over, nexus was never famed to be a hardware monster. It is known for software and dev base

My GNex is hands down the best phone I've had. Camera isn't ideal but still works great to snap quick photos. JB basically made it a whole new phone... no lag at all and fantastic features.

and what does this suppose to do with the fact what I have said?
If you had exynos version you know what I mean.
But don't forget I'm rocking GN on jelly bean and loving it. But that doesn't mean I can't say some bad about it.

2 things to consider if I were you:
1. If you want the pure Google experience, not a hybrid vendor/android phone; definitely the GneX or wait until later in year for the Nexus line.
2. If you prefer a bit more "powerful" hardware right now, the Galaxy S III is the best option in my opinion. Of course you have to deal with Carrier lock and Samsung's TWiz running on top of Android OS.
Both are win win situations, just depends on your preference...

You would have to port a rom from another device and have to work out all the bugs that come with such an undertaking like getting cell radio to work, wifi, camera and many others. It's just simply not worth the time it would take. For an example take a look at the thread porting sense and touchwiz.

You would lose out on most the optimization from ICS and JB, there is no real point unless you plan on porting project butter and all the ui enhancements to GB in which case you might as well spend your time improving on what we already have instead of going backwards an reinventing the wheel

If I'm thinking about this correctly, the biggest challenge would be trying to emulate the buttons (home, back, menu, search) that GB requires to operate. They are not needed in ICS, but you can't run GB on a device without them.

I've used MIUI on a few devices. I never liked it much. Its merely ok IMO. I just stick with rooted stock on my GN2. I've tried JellyBomb and its just ugly lol.

The way we have the Sbrissen thread I would put up some money if a DEV who OWNS this phone will make a stable version of MIUI. I would not donate to someone porting this who does not actually have the Sprint GN2. Anyway, I guess it's a dead point because there doesn't seem to be anyone willing to take on the task.

The way everybody talks about Jelly bomb, its the best thing since sliced bread. Although I have it on my phone, I too think its the ugliest rom I have ever seen. The only reason I have it now, as there is a lack of anything else, atm.
I never used Miui, and would probably never use it. This phone really needs more Roms, period

I'd totally be down to run MIUI.
