Bought my Dad's Christmas present today, a 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G and boy is it amazing, it was either this or the iPad2, glad that in the short time I opted for the iPad I didn't go through with it and in the end saved myself a lot of trouble. Looking back now I can't believe I considered the iPad, the Galaxy Tab is that good.

Your Dad's? Sure, whatever you say.

Dev stuff you don't really need to worry about. (If you change the animation speeds to fast your phones feels like it's running super fast btw)

So I can install this on my AWS Nexus S (the same one used on T-Mobile)?

How do I launch install this? Does my device need to be rooted?

It's for the T-Mo compatible, it wont' flash on the att compatible one.

[zoku88]

Don't know yet, it is expected to be delivered beginning of next week. It is on the list for an ICS update though. Battery life probably sucks since it is Tegra 2. I'll give some more details once I get it.

I have the T-mobile version (The G2x). Apparently, the only differences are the software (and bands?) (apparently the Optimus 2x software is really lacking..)

It's an okay phone.

The battery life does indeed suck, though.

I want to buy a Nexus...

Don't have to be rooted so long as your device is 2.3.6 GRK39F.

It does seem faster. Protip: go with off or 0.5x; 10x makes it really really slow.

 

[MercuryLS]

It worked, ICS is really nice.

Only problem is, like when using "Spare Parts" previously, if you use the faster animation speeds, you lose the CRT screen off animation. Bummer

Have you tried getting to it through ADB and/or USB?

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Stuck a build of ICS on my Nexus One. Still missing some stuff like full on HA and camera but it's really nice. I'm a convert, all the swiping to dismiss etc is fantastic.

Not on CM.

I tried doing fastboot reboot-bootloader and the problem is that it can't see the phone.

It shows up as SEC S5PC110 Test B/D under device manager with no drivers to be found.

Anything I can try?

EDIT: ADB has an empty list of devices as well =(

[MercuryLS]

ICS is nice but it still stutters on my Nexus S. It's sooooo smooth on the Galaxy Nexus

 

[narcosis219]

Will odin work even if the screen never turns on? I get nothing, even when plugged into the computer. No download mode or anything.

I don't know much about modding Android, but is there a way to make my Samsung Galaxy S2s UI look like an HTC? I wanted an HTC, but I thought at the time, the S2 was a better phone. I don't really like how the Samsung UI looks.

Also, are there any tutorials for people who know next to nothing about modding Android?

Can you see the device under fastboot at least?

What's the best Calendar Widget out there right now, guys?

 

[AndyD]

What's the best Calendar Widget out there right now, guys?

What do you want out of it? I wanted just an agenda simple list widget and I got Simple Calendar. It works perfectly for my needs.

 

[kehs]

Agenda widget has served me well, highly customizable.

Anyone know any good music widget that's compatible with google music? The official one sucks balls. I at least want one with a back button.

These are kinda ugly, but they do what you need.

Do you have anything with linux? Maybe its a driver related thing and you might be able to see the device and use adb with a linux install?

Just updated my Nexus S to ICS.

Too bad there's no face unlock. Kinda expected since the ICS roms were all broken with that feature

 

[Flash]

was able to successfully flash my mobilicity nexus S with ICS. so any of you wind guys should be good to go with t-mobiles update as well.

Titanium Backup doesn't work with ICS yet

Sadness.

It does for me :/

Really? I wonder what's wrong with mine...

Maybe my Super User is broke

 

[AlphaSnake]

Are there any custom unlock apps that also have notifications built in? Or perhaps, an unlock app that actually allows NoLED to work? All unlock apps I've tried so far prevent NoLED from working.

 

[ScOULaris]

Is the AT&T Nexus S going to be receiving the OTA update this month as well, or is it just the T-Mobile version? Is there any way I can get the official ICS ROM for the AT&T model like the link to the T-Mobile version that everyone seems to be using?

 

[jokkir]

Nope. Doesn't seem to be working. I don't seem to be getting root access anymore either. Help?

 

[Zombie James]

Check your version: http://omgdroid.com/titanium-backup-rom-manager-updated-ics/

 

[jokkir]

Check your version: [/QUOTE] Did. My SuperUser seems to think I didn't root and is not giving me root access anymore?

Just found one by accident. WP7 Lock does precisely this and also disables the Home button to prevent accidental unlocks. If you're not using NoLED, then WP7 acts just like the actual Windows Phone 7 unlock screen, so it displays missed calls, texts, and emails. Plus it works extremely smoothly on my Skyrocket! It also has a very small footprint, and it's very simplistic which I love.

Very happy. I hate the stock Samsung lock screens, they suck.

ICS on Nexus S thoughts:

That app drawer is super smooth.

It's amazing to not see lists trip over themselves.

The recent apps menu...I still hate it. It's even worse when you have a physical key. Shit takes like ten days to pop up.

ICS was developed around the GN without looking back. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Dual-core will soon be the minimum requirement for Android? I guess it's a good thing I upgraded from my single-core Droid X.

 

[JohnTinker]

CM7 on my Vibrant keeps force closing EVERYTHING, even after fixing permissions & wiping the Dalvik cache. Had to reflash to finally get it to behave.

Are my only other GB options MIUI?

Not really performance, but more design wise, like spacing, margins, etc.

Performance is actually pretty snappy.

As a fan of CM7 over MIUI, can't you just try a different ROM using CM7?

 

[opticalmace]

So I'll be able to update my Nexus S with the "system updates" option in the settings menu? And it'll pop up sometime in the next month? I don't really want to do it manually.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Has anybody used both PowerAmp and PlayerPro? Which do you prefer, and why?
