GSM.
That's an ICS only launcher broseph.
There IS a build of CM9 for the droid x, but its really just a ported framework to to gingerbread... and its buuuugy.

I am out of the loop when it comes to latest phones, my current one is still the damn htc hero lol Any opinions on which is better, the galaxy s3 or evo lte? I am leaning towards the s3 because it has 32gb of memory (on sprint)
I'm laughing way too hard at this. :lol
You're not the only one who's tired.
e: I think I'll have to order it this week. My current phone is unusable. Took it out of the pocket, woke it up and saw that it rebooted again. Entered the PIN, 3 missed calls and an angry voice message.
Fuck LG.
I'm worried now mine is gonna go tits up some day soon but my Optimus 7 has been fine bar the USB socket flap starting to come apart.

If you want the nicest screen go for the evo. If you want the most versatile go for the s3

I think Samsung didn't want an all black phone. I actually have a black case on mine so it actually is all black, and I think it looks better with the case off and the gray back exposed.
Shows it's time for a new phone when some apps are out of my range.
Thought you bought a 4s?

The Sprint Nexus S had the same problem, actually. Everyone hates Sprint I guess.

If you root it yes, you'll more than likely be able to get Cyanogen Mod which is pretty close to stock.
Pretty much yes.
And not unless the OEM pushes it or you use a custom rom.
Welcome to android
Not any, but most of the devices that matter/popular devices.
Edit: Techinically yes, but to get a fully functional stable version of android on ANY device, well that's a different story.
Technically, the Galaxy Nexus has Google additions(aka bloatware) on top of stock Android.
There are AOSP(Android Open Source Project) builds that people can compile to load on devices.
There's no easy way to go about putting one of these on a device because you need to 1) Be able to compile from AOSP 2) Get a hold of drivers/binaries for the hardware itself that tend to be proprietary (companies rarely give that stuff out).
There's no universal version of Android, because it's standalone software. Take something like Windows, for example, MS works with the hardware mfgs ahead of time to do the drivers so that people can load up the OS "independently" of the hardware.
e: Beaten like Meego.

That's what nerds think. General consumers don't really care.
... general consumers don't think about this stuff enough to be scared by it.
My understanding is that officially released ROMs are affected as well. When I said 'official' in my previous post I didn't mean 'leaked beta'.
well the dea is you dont wipe from ICS, you go back to one of old GB rom to wipe and start over.
My main problem with official rom is that I cant nand backup and restore. but I suppose I am familiar with Titanium enough that I can make do with it. Also, cant long press the wifi toggle to go into the wifi setting, it annoys me to no end.

You'll appreciate the design (at least head on) once you get it. The front is so beautiful without buttons. That and I really didn't want to hear you complain about some skin issue.

Coco recommended me this WP7 launcher. I saw a screenshot and it looked familiar. Maybe I should look into it, once I get the phone.

That's what you say now. But as the time passes, you'll cry and scream and ask yourself what horrible thing you've done. I will wurst you up, Coco.
Good lord. We don't need 2

Maybe because Google finally figured out how a smooth UI works and now it can properly emulate the feel of 2009 hardware? It's okay, it took only 5 years.

Wait, take me with you!
Anyone know of a way to easily back up Directories from a Galaxy S3/MTP connection?
I was using SyncToy but that uses MASS STORAGE which the Galaxy S3 no longer allows. So I am looking for a new way to easily select a few DIRECTORIES and have an app back them up to my PC via USB MTP or WiFi?

If you have an Android phone you would be able to install this app Shiprack and let it track for you * snickers*

Not that I know of. Dolphin Browser has that feature though.
If I ever get some time I'm going to try to write my own, still haven't found one that looks nice or isn't written by an author I have no trust in.
I'm not sure how that will solve the problem for people who don't like the kinds of permissions these apps need though
Also had a revelation today. If you have a pin lock or some form of a device lock and you lose your phone, how are they able to find information that lets them return the phone to you? I feel like there should be some way to write this on the emergency call screen.

I don't know about phones, but you can put contact details on tablet lock screens.

It's was introduced in HC/ICS. Settings > Lock Screen > Personal Information.
wait, seriously?
Yup, just double checked System Settings > Security > Owner Info.
Apparently HTC thought it'd be a good idea to leave that out of sense 4!
Hey guys just bought a Galaxy S2 and it runs like a dream. It currently runs on Android 2.3.5. I noticed there's an update to a new version, but I'm concerned it's going to make it run like shit, like how iOS5 ruined my 3GS. Are my concerns unfounded? Is there anything of note in the new version?

It'll take you to 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich, if I'm correct.
If anything it should make your device run BETTER. And there is so much great stuff in the update.

My friend says his RAZR MAXX got faster and had much better battery life after the ICS update. Hardware acceleration system-wide will improve those for just about any phone coming from 2.x.

You mean HTC and Samsung decided to take ICS and revert it back to Gingerbread.
Help please android gaf! I just had my screen on my sgs2 replaced and they took my cm9 and replaced it with carrier branded 4.0.3 which i hate.
Should i root again or wait for cyanogen mod to release a jellybean version? How far off do you think that will be realistically? Do we have to wait for Samsung to release the source code?? Im a bit of a noob with this stuff sotry

Thanks, I I'll check it out.
What about NFC? What can I use that for besides Wallet and Android Beam?
By the way, is there a way to get new live wallpapers?
