Question - if I were to flash an ICS-based ROM onto my phone, would ICS-only apps become available, or is that reserved for the official version of the app...?

As long as you use a custom ROM with a proper market identifier you'll get access to ICS apps. If you also change your DPI you'll have to download a market that spoofs the DPI to default DPI, or loads of apps will show up as incompatible. I use LCD Density Modder Pro which sorts that part out for you.
I had the same thing on my SGS2. It's a bug, the notification bar should automatically hide for full screen flash video. It's fixed in the leaked 4.0 ROMs, I'm not sure if the newer 2.3 ROMs fix it too.
I finally got around to rooting my Bionic and I'm having an annoying problem. My internal sdcard drive is almost full (it was full, until I deleted some apps last night). I want it not to be. I tried using Titanium backup to move files to sd, but that puts them into the internal sdcard storage instead of putting them on the external card (which has 13 gb of free space). Is there any way to actually put stuff onto the media card? Apps2SD and the phone's default memory management both behave the same way. I try "moving to media" and it just puts the files into the sdcard partition of internal memory. I thought rooting would give me a way around this, but I can't figure it out.

the funny thing is, the price of sim-less xperia s here is the same as galaxy nexus at £450.
nearly pulled the trigger on the xperia s, until I read about the asus padphone.
You are better off move your other media files to your external sd. Just use a file manager like astro or file expert. You don't even need root.

So HTC pretty much has the phone of show right now right?
I mean unless you guys are excited about zte and Huawei...are those even coming to the US?
Been following the HTC One X since it was first leaked last year as the HTC Edge. Im pretty excited as the snapdragon S4 should be great for my everyday use.
Oh and all those Sony phones look like garbage...except for maybe the xperia ion

Yes, but how? I can only get pictures, music, and video to go to the external card. Whenever I try moving an app or game to media it goes to the internal sdcard partition.

I think i prefer this one over the Xperia S. The P is 4.0" vs. the S at 4.3". 8mp vs. 12mp. The Xperia P has an aluminum unibody.
I quite like the fact that you can change the colour of the led of the transparent stripe, even though they are quite useless. you have to touch the dot above to activate function.
apparently it houses the antenna.

that's a LCD though and Samsung uses AMOLED and they've already talked about their roadmap and they can't mass manufacture a screen with that pixel density yet.

Man the strip is a waste of space.
Antenna, notification light and it looks awesome.
if Samsung can produce a 1080p 4.8" AMOLED screen they've been holding out on the TV market
Extensions?
extension numbers for businesses.
like (123)456-7890 , and then press 123 to reach a certain person
This is by design. You should have enough space in the internal D card for apps.
There are ways around it of course but you need a custom rom.
Insert a "w" before the extension and Android will prompt you to hit a button before dialling the extension.
Or add some commas before the extension and it will wait a few seconds before dialling the extension.
Ah. You add pause/wait after the number and then add the extension number. So it'll wait a certain amount of time before putting in the extension(depending on the number of waits/pauses you add). That's how I did it when I was using international calling cards at one point. When you see the dialpad while adding the contact information, hit the symbols key and it'll bring up your options.
Well damn. I have 9gb internal storage but less than 500mb free. There's no way to move games to media on the vanilla ROM?
You have close to 9gb of Android app? I don't brlieve it. You must have other media files.
Nope. All apps. I have three CDs but they're on my external card. Even then it's nothing. I have no videos. About a dozen photos from the phone. Everything else is apps.
That's including titanium backup space, though. I actually can't make a full backup since there's not enough room, but I have about 60% backed up.

The padphone video at phandroid is pretty cool.

I really wanted to get an official Google device next but man the idea of a padphone is really growing on me. Sadly though I expect pricing to be pretty vicious.

Well they said it'd be cheaper than a phone + tablet, so I guess if you're in the market for both, then this a good choice. But on the other hand, this also forces you to upgrade your phone AND tablet at the same time in the future.
I was thinking about this, and I think the eventual solution is wifi direct/display instead of a dock. That'll also allow it to be used by different devices.
Possibly. Asus guy did say that you'll have to trust them to not fuck you over in the future with compatibility issues when you want to upgrade. So good luck with that I guess.
I lost faith in that when the announced the prime dock. The padfone keyboard dock is also a different model (lol).
This is the type of innovation that I would say Asus is on par with Apple in terms of features. I would imagine that this combination of things w/ Ubuntu on it will destroy a lot of single solutions out there. Well done Asus.
It's not. It has a different connection thingy to the tablet.
The padfone is a bit fatter than the transformer prime.
First of all, you are crazy. Nobody uses that much space for app. If you do you should get custom rom.
Second, Titanium backup let you change backup folder.

May the Schwartz be with you
Wow I saw the Galaxy Note today at work....hooooly shit that is huge.
I do have it set at 1 backup
I have about 190 apps not including the included bloatware, which I have frozen.

was it a phone or a tablet?
Depends on whether you are strong enough to lift it to your ear.
