True. I installed it, and it seemed pretty decent, but I did uninstall it shortly afterwards. I'm just a big fan of SwiftKey, so I'm sticking with that.

The best thunderbolt rom is Das BAMF FOREVER 1.10. It's the one I use, and it's great.

Check it out...
I had no idea the HD2 was known for fragile glass. Kind of pissed =/ But yea, I have found that the HD2 is pretty impressive, specs wise, especially for the price it can be purchased at.
The G2X and Sensation are better? Sensation is such a gigantic phone..might go with the G2X.

Working great, seems far more accurate to me.
The Galaxy S doesn't even have Gingerbread.
I was talking custom roms, surely they have custom GB roms for it?
Oh yeah, latest Cyanogen mod is on there but I think they may be dropping official support for it soon.
Which ones don't? My Mom's Epic 4G got updated to 2.3.5 recently.
K that phone is officially out of the race. My options are G2X, attempt to fix the screen on my HD2 for about 30$, or iPhone 4 from a friend for about $200...
4g apparently got it, but the Captivate, Fascinate, and Vibrant haven't gotten it.
Who cares. The guy is using a HD2 as an android phone. I am sure he know how to flash ROMs.
this app just straight rulz

I'm new to the Amazon android marketplace, but knowing Amazon I have to ask, when purchasing an application through their store, can it be updated through the regular Android marketplace? or is that application forever exclusive to Amazon?
It cannot be updated through the Android Market...gotta do it through Amazon's store (and keep the store installed).

the Galaxy S has had Gingerbread for quite some time. now if you mean the US redhead stepchildren, a few of them have official GB releases.
ICS keyboard for all Android devices
Not bad. Still in beta.

Galaxy Note owners. Check the SamsungApps for an update to their store. Paid apps, accounts now live in the app (not reflected on their website though). I still can't find the iAnnotate PDF app but the S Choice section has some new free stuff including a PowerOffice Business and Creative Suite (Microsoft office like) and PowerBrowser (cloud hosted Chrome browser) 0_O
I downloaded the apk from the mediafire link earlier. Is there any reason to switch? I like the keyboard but don't like this habit of using the input form to take over the screen :/
Yeah, I found that to be very annoying. But I'm going to give it trial run this week, see how good it is.
Well, through the Market link you can get updates when they become available.
whenever you install the ICS keyboard, it says something about your keystrokes possibly being logged and sent out? Is that just a standard keyboard installation thing, or should I be worried?
I logged into my bank account on my phone today and switched back to Gingerbread KB.

It is a standard message, but I would be leery about any keyboard randomly released.
every keyboard does that.
wooo wooo sounds like codeworkx (cyanogen guy) might release an SGS2 ICS port soon, they have a bunch of stuff working
http://codeworkx.de/wordpress/2011/11/20/status-update-for-ics-on-galaxy-s-ii/
basically transparency not drawing right sounds like the only major bug left.

LOL you can turn a regular android tablet into Kindle Fire? I think I will try that on my Galaxy Tab.

Seriously, the only reason I come to this thread now is to read Iapetus's remarks on free apps!
Anyone seen an ICS port to the HTC Desire in a reasonable state yet? XDA Developers forum's a mess right now.
From what I can tell, the ICS port for the Desire is not yet in a reasonable state.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660
I also tried the ICS port for the SGS and I have to say I'm really looking forward to a stable port. This kind of change is really what Android needed.
I have the media fire one installed too. When I went to market link it said 'update' not install... must be same one? The version from media fire was missing the speech button too.
Judging by what he was saying on IRC, the transparency issue is a pretty big problem. Might need for samsung to leak something from their hwcomposer for ICS

PowerAMP, none better.
Yahoo music player is pretty decent.
PowerAMP is probably the most fully featured player on android. A lot of android music apps just use the default player's processing and media library but the developer has his own custom implementations and I find both to be much better. If you don't like the look, the new version 2.0 that just came out a week or two ago has skinning support.
I'm actually kinda disliking PA 2.0, a bunch of bugs and features seemingly taken out.
Until Poweramp lets me sort by album artists I'm sticking with player pro. I have too many compilations clogging up my artist list.
Infact that pisses me off about nearly all the players in Android. On an ipod you can sort by album artists rather than artists. Its a great option to stop showing artists who are in your compilations showing up in the main list. Only player pro that i've found has got this in.

At this point I'm debating getting a Nexus S4G cheap on contract with Sprint instead of dropping ~$700 importing the GSM Galaxy Nexus. I'd also have a lower monthly price, which is a nice perk. How dated is this phone currently, though? The alpha/betaish builds of ICS seem to be running pretty well, but I don't want to lock myself in for a couple of years to a phone that doesn't really cut it. I don't demand a whole lot of my phone, but I at least need it to get through the work day with lots of podcast listening and some mild internet usage as well. Thoughts?

DoubleTwist, Songbird, Media Monkey.
Doubletwist—converts .mkvs. takes too long and sometimes fails. Didn't find out in time to get a refund for air sync :/
Songbird—doesnt import .mkvs
Media Monkey—windows only?
Winamp—music only
