Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade.

[BAZ]

Took the plunge and am running 4.0.1 Ice cream sandwhich alpha on my Galaxy S.

Really really impressed, considering it's still heavily in alpha, it's so fast and nippy, animations are brilliant and almost everything works well.

In other news, all official ICS ROMs will completely repartition the phone. If you only have internal NAND, you will not have USB Mass Storage. Instead, with ICS internal NAND files are accessed via MTP.

At least the wallpaper works for them.

[Hunt3r.j2]

Basically this means that for the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S you can assume that you're going to need a PIT file to repartition, and probably new bootloaders to go with your phone.

Well shit, that sounds like a pain in the ass, thankfully it's only official ROMs for now.

I just flashed through clockwork-mod and it's fine.

Official updates will probably change that, but unofficial might depend.

Either way, MTP just doesn't allow you to directly delete/add files to the phone like you can now, instead you have to queue up the files and then they sync or something similar.

This was a [B]new build[/B], and very little had been done but to get it to boot. Their is no acceleration yet and data doesn't work. [I][U][/U][/I]

So basically, if you have Mac OS X, get that to support syncing with Honeycomb and ICS. Windows users are in the clear and don't have to do anything to get them working.

Linux people are going to have more trouble with this though.

Yeah, in the USB options I can only do this

[QUOTE=Robber;33370129]I don't want to offend you or anything, but isn't 350$/month way below minimum wage?[/QUOTE]

Late reply, but the minimum wage IS ~350$/month here.

[TehWhale]

minimum wage is determined by how many hours you work, not by how much you make monthly

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33372386]minimum wage is determined by how many hours you work, not by how much you make monthly[/QUOTE]

Or maybe some countries had it different than America or England.

For example, a sustainable salary back in Romania would be pretty much 300-330 bucks a month, even less

Stop spreading sensational bullshit without a source. Oh wait, there can't be a source because I found a counter-source:
[url]http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/21/ice-cream-sandwich-supports-usb-mass-storage-after-all-galaxy-n/[/url]

According to this, only the Galaxy Nexus and possibly but unlikely the Nexus S will be effected. Phones like the SGS2 that have an SD card slot would loose support for that and no sane manufacturer would release an update that removes major functionality like that and even if it was possible to still have an external sd card and when using the unified storage model that wouldn't mean manufacturers would use it. For instance you would loose everything you have on your internal "sd card" when updating and that would be a support nightmare when millions of users start complaining because their photos are gone.

Holy shit, he has GPU acceleration.
Whoever this man is, he may have just saved ICS for more phones: HD2, Desire, Nexus One, Xperia X10i and etc...

Thank TomG, he is also the man that helped with CM7 for the Blade.

Well if I was considering getting the Galaxy Nexus, that would put me off. badly. Is it possible to "fix" this with custom ROMs?
That's one reason to keep SGS2 in the thread title for now, imo.

It's definitely fixable but a lot of work and I assume quite risky.

[Van The Pimp]

I just got ICS on my Captivate, the hardware acceleration is amazing, no lag at all. I do love the new UI look, messaging and contacts look so good.
