No there was no way for him. I was just saying some people managed to get the phone at a discount and keep unlimited as well. I think in the long run unlimited data is far more important than a discounted phone. Particularly since it locks you into a contract.

Installed JB on my HTC Droid Inc. Runs JB okay, too bad CM and AOKP dropped it.
i think some posts were deleted. does anyone have a mirrored copy of the posts? popcorn.gif
It's ChanHuk on the previous page complaining as usual
Haha, I had the hardest time trying to get CM9 on the incredible because of the difficulty of getting it rooted if you had applied the 2.3.6 update. When I finally figured it out, I put AOKP 40 on it and it wasn't too smooth. During some free time later on, I decided to try this out: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/26144-romkang²cm9unofficial-nightlies/
CM9 runs well on the incredible and I was surprised. The animations aren't as complete as when it runs on my Nexus, but it's still great. I wonder how stock gingerbread would compare in smoothness because I never did try it.
The ridiculous thing about this is I went through the trouble of getting CM9 on to my Incredible just because I could. I own the GNex, a phone better in almost every way...
Wtf is wrong with me?

Yeah, it's great. It doesn't have all the "butter" performance optimisations (such as triple buffering) but it's still really smooth, probably thanks to the combination of fast SoC and relatively low screen resolution. The new animations provide some of that brand-new-device feeling.Finally upgraded to CM10 on my GS2. Loving it so far, very slick. I wish I had data so I could enjoy Google Now, but at least I can do voice recognition now
For a full AOSP experience I recommend going into system settings and remapping the menu key to the recent apps switcher and enabling the action overflow button.
Its pretty much just Google music without signing in.
Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Solid effort. I get why they finished to even though I find that CM9 is sort of that stop gap release between CM7 for older devices, and anything newer that would probably want CM10 instead.
Yay! So... do I need to flash this again or does it show up as a system update?
Is that only in CM10? Looking good.Yeah, it's great.

I used CleanROM by Scott Crosler (scrosler on xda). I like it enough, but I need an AOSP ROM more because everything Sense--from the icon coloring to the non-holo system app design, and the multitasking app, instead of just a simple bar--is all annoying to me.
I mean Sense 4.0 (and now 4.1) is great for the normal end user, and with the update i'm hearing everything is smooth, but ever since my first Android phone (Captivate) i've just been getting more flash crazy every year... All to get my phone to stock Android to do the newest things available. Flashing is fun and all but you are at the mercy of people that know how to develop and build ROMS...if I could learn how to do it myself that would be great but since i haven't yet, i think i'll just get the next nexus. Saving my pennies.
...and you must have plenty of friends
that lack an Android
BOOM Headshot!
lol, i'm sure you do. GSIII defense force and proud right?
honestly though I got the phone on May 6th and would love to trade it in, but it's too late, I can't join the force. I'll wait for the next Nexus. Loving this Nexus 7
I think I was more referring to the fact that AOSP ROMs are always missing a feature or two, or always have a bug or two because of no source code.
Seems the answer to my problem has always been to have a Nexus phone.
As far as expecting better stuff every six months, by no means am i new here or to Android, i know the deal, just hurts a lot less when the shell of the phone isn't the exact same as the original model, which is what it's reported to be.
Cool I'll try it out. But why have the back button do that when you can hold down HOME and have it do the same? I like to have the back button programmed to shut down the current app. Comes in handy. Not sure what action overflow is but I'll see.
Does your predictive text work in the keyboard? I get the usual auto corrections, but after that the suggestions area is just blank..
edit: I cant find those settings on my i777

Today's FREE App of the Day on the Amazon Appstore for Android is Ichi!
i've never actually played it, but i do remember seeing a video for it when it was released. it's a pretty highly rated puzzle game, and probably the best free app of the day in weeks if not months.

i dunno if i'm on that defense force or not... we'll see in december when my upgrade is at bat... only thing i can guarantee is best galaxy wins, whatever that is at the time!

free apps!!
Basically, yes, although I build from the source code myself. The feature should be in all builds from 7 August or later. That goes for every CM10 device which has hardware keys, not just the I9100.
It was submitted to CM9 but not in time for the feature freeze for the release candidates. I think it's unlikely to be added now that CM9 development is meant to be just bug fixes.
Glad you like it.
The feature has only been merged in CM10 for a couple of days, so if the build you're running is older then it won't have it. Otherwise it should be in Settings -> System -> Hardware keys.
The action overflow is the 3-dot software menu button which removes the need for a dedicated menu button. That provides the reason for remapping the menu key to the recent apps switcher (though I can still open the menu with long-press on home, for compatibility with old apps). The back key can't be customised in these settings because of the kill-app feature in the dev options. The search key can if your device has one.
I haven't had any problems with word suggestions showing up while typing, so I don't know what could be causing that.
These are the available custom key actions, by the way:

for that budget, an Optimus One or Optimus Net... but if you can get to ~$250 you could get an Atrix or Optimus 2x
Just get ICS. Most community ports of JB on phones thatsnot Galaxy Nexus are really incomplete.
For a $150 phone? He can buy a S2 with broken screen maybe?
Plus JB doesn't have ICS browser+ and flash, I wouldn't beta test for google.
No I wasn't suggesting the S2 for him, just the Nexus S. Maybe find a used one at that price? Not sure anymore.
Who needs flash..and you can sideload. I would assume the same for Browser+ but iduno.
So I guess Vizio started charging cards already for the CoStar.
I don't see a charge on mine or a dollar hold on my card yet. Pretty sure I literally ordered as they put up the pre order page. -_-
It does say processing on vizios site though.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
twonky works...but the GS3, TF300, and Iconia all had pre-loaded programs that stream to DNLA devices.
Where do you live? Cheapest phone that will run 4.0 and 4.1 well is the Nexus S right now.
So to root my US Cellular GS3 I just use this toolkit?

yes.
Is there an app that can do back ups and restoring like Titanium, but without rooting?
I mostly want to restore app settings, not the app (I would do a clean install).
I will probably get a new phone in the next few days, but I won't be rooting it immediately (because of the warranty).
