I've noticed a few devs updating their posts just to change the date, but not changing anything about the Rom itself. I find it slightly misleading to post the present (or future, in some cases) date on the post title, just to click on the post and find it's the same Rom I downloaded a couple of days ago with no update. I have actually started to ignore the posts in some cases. It's just a heads-up to devs that they may want to change this practice.
Overall, I'd like to thank ALL devs for the fantastic Roms, and because of them, I have acquired FlashRom Syndrome! Proud to be a sick puppy!!!
Which ones are doing that? I haven't seen this happen at all.
Same here, did not see any. Some have svn for updates, where they are updated nightly..possibly you are referring to them. For instance myn'n rom, update hourly...almost...

I understand SVN, as I use it to update Synergy and VR updates. This post date thing used to be a problem on the OG Evo forum, the post title would say the current date, but the Rom was last updated 1-2 weeks ago....again, no big deal, just an observation. I'm not going to single out a dev here, it's not about that. As I've stated in a few PM's so far, it must be OCD kicking in....

Well im on a nexus now. Funny that I'm still lurking here more then the nexus forums...beings that I'm still gonna be using my droidx2 for multimedia purposes at home via wifi because of the HDMI and other docks I have. Will I still be getting the update? Guessing it only goes through Verizon...maybe its a good thing. Also thanks for the help I've gotten from everyone here. This forum unlike the other device forums has always had a positive vibe and friendly to noobs

Seeing as they also dropped the Vivid source codes and it is very similar to the amaze I would think that the Vivid codes would be very close.

I've been running the June 5 nightly since Tuesday and I have to say that the battery life on this ROM has been fantastic. With mixed use since then, including live streaming of 2 hours of MLB at Bat video and wifi left on the whole period, I am charging up today for the first time since flashing it.

I am sorry you are upset about this thread and I should not have responded the way I did but this is the General Section, a place where a multitude of topics are discussed, including some that are trivial or repetitive.
While this may not be the most original post, the number of views to date would make it seem that it is of interest to some of you out there.
Thanks everyone!
I thought this thread was interesting enough so it was the first one i opened.
Boo hiss to the complainers, i say.

Oh yes, and thanks to the OP
BTW, battery life is still holding up well. Considering moving onto the most current nightly, though . . . can't help myself.
i'm begging to worry battery life is not as good as it shoyld be and wonder if i should update to a more recent nightly... as it's been running fairly well apart from that hadn't wanted to change anything. i wonder if anyone has noticed whether any of the nightlies in particular has best battery life or whether to go for the most recent (i would have asked that in a new thread but cant be doing with all the anger starting a new thread seems to generate!
I am happy with the 6/9 nightly
I find that the CM9 Nightly sleeps at around 0.6%/hr where as the ClassicNerd Butta drains at a rate of about 3%/hr.
Hello
I'm new in the custom rom scene. I tried to flash CM10.1 on my SGS2. First I wanted to wipe the data partition, then the device suddenly turned off. After that it wont boot anymore. I tried an USB-jig but no reaction. The phone was on Stock ICS 4.0.4 rooted with I think PhilZ-CWM6 3.81. The first time I brick my phone and then a fullbrick. Now my question is, what did I wrong? I want do that experience anymore in the future. And sorry for my bad English I'm from Switzerland.

Thanks for the "thanks" you got one back. And thanks for the answers. So we can say it's the fault of Samsung? :good:
How is it the fault of Samsung when this is a known issue ?
If you were an ordinary user with a stock phone, you did a wipe & the phone crapped itself, then it would be Samsung's fault. But when you begin 'messing' with your phone, fail to do your 'homework' (despite information re: this particular issue being plastered all over the place) & your bork your phone, that's your fault.
You are right. I have to inform me before I do something like that, but it's difficult there are so many threads and posts and my English is not the best. I will search for a thread (or app) were all traps are listed.
Blame it on Samsung as long as you are convinced that the only thing you did was to wipe on 4.0.4.
As long as it happens while on that kernel it really doesn't matter what you were trying to do.
Brick bug was spotted on august or september, samsung learnt about it right away and kept releasing flawed 4.0.4 kernel.

If u want to mess with rooting/flashing/etc u must to read, read and read, if u are not 100% shure how to do something use search/ask somewhere, i was reading xda for about 3-4+ months before i get my i9100 so now i know many things, now just waiting for samsung to release source codes and i9100 will be again powerful device
read, red, read and read!
Yes, it is a good English lesson too.
Connect the phone and goto device manager to see if theres any device detected. If not, then head to customer centre but rooting voids warranty but if you tip the guy maybe he'll work it over

Could it be a case that you were flashing the rom and simultaneously some circuit part just blew off and so its not your fault but again you can't claim warranty also

I'm sorry to get off topic of the google play edition and all the greta things it's going to bring but you know what, **** you, Sony, where the hell is my flash??? This device is meant to be carried around, it's obviously meant to replace you're current phone as it is a phone, it's not a cheap device, costing as much (or more than at launch) as other high end phones and even cheaper ones don't skimp here. Where's the ****ing flash??
All of you who are about to give me **** about how great the sensor is, shut the hell up, you need a flash indoors. pictures look like **** if it's not well lit, and many, many, many people use it as flashlights and now it's a major inconvenience. Why did they do this??? How much did they save by not putting on a flash?? I don't love the battery life but I get it, they were keeping it as thin and light as possible for such a large phone, I would have preferred a little thicker with a decent battery but it's fine. could they really not fit a tiny little led light in there???
I'm sorry for being like this but i just saw an xperia z and z1 and it just pissed me off. Yes, I knew what I was getting when i got the phone, and it is a great phone but every time i take a picture indoors or need a flashlight the thought "**** you Sony" pops into my head.

i'm looking into buying this device and truly i have been absolutely baffled at how a company on a phone with better specs than everyone else included a screen protector on every phone and didn't even build in camera flash?
the screen protector bothers me more than anything that if i buy it i'm going to drive myself insane trying to take it off and cleaning it perfectly?! thats ****ing ridiculous.

Camera sucks. Worse camera I have seen in my life. It is so bad I don't even know why Sony added the camera to begin with. However every review and every article I read said the camera is utter Crap so I knew what I was buying. If camera was key for me I would avoid this phone like the plague but having a bigger screen is more critical for me

Yeah you don't have to say 'F**k Sony' if you have known about the device you've bought. It was your decision anyway to go here, so accept it as it is. If you receive it unexpectedly (like screen cracking with no reason) then please do an open letter. But in this case No point for complaining right now.
We all know that the camera sucks, but it's not that bad, it's decent for casual usage. No flash bugs me also but not that important, i can lit up the screen with Chrome white page and use it at night to lighten up the room.
you didn't know what you were buying? isn't that your fault?

LOL... yeah pretty much right.
The Ultra doesn't need a flash. seriously! Every image i have taken with a phone (even the Z1 and Nokia 41MP device) hasn't performed well at night using a flash. They just don't work well. I've never kept an image that ive taken using a flash. Even on my DSLR's..
So I'm fine without a flash.
Yes the 8MP camera should have been better, but it isnt. So hey.. all we can do is buy the QX10 and make a case that works...
Will the next alliteration of the Ultra have a better camera... god I hope so...
