I don't know if it's still going on, but Dropbox had a promotion, that if you have a Ics 4.0 device, and you logged into your Dropbox account, you will automatically get 25 gigs of storage space for free. I did this the other day with my 4.0 rom and it's true. The question is ; if I go back down to 3.6, and log into my Dropbox account, will it recognize that it's no longer 4.0 and take back the 25 gigs of space? Does anybody know? Thanks.

It does not, I went to 4.0 for the upgrade and can confirm I still have the extra space atm. Although I have read that some have been stripped of their bonus space because it was found out that users were using ported roms. But again my acct is just fine while back on 3.6

Sweet. Thanks for the reply. While I enjoyed 4.0 on my phone, I want to go back to 3.6 until some things are worked out. Enjoy the rest of your week :-D

Hey all, Android + Thunderbolt + XDA Noob in the house (nice video)
I tried to download perfect storm and then gingeritis, only to see that anything linked through themilk.com seems to have gone down! Been down since last night.
I'm rooted, backed up, using clockwock, looking for a stable Rom. Have tried GB debloated and froyo debloated, was more impressed with froyo due to the lack of bugginess. In GB for example, I could not mount the SD card into windows because , apparently, it required different drivers which i was not able to find. Perfect storm caught my eye as a very efficient Froyo that is compatible with MR2 (which i upgraded, because i wanted the option to switch to CDMA only when im at work, which is literally 30 meters out of 4g range) .
But.. everyone is telling me to go with gingivitis because it is a polished GB. If i can mount my drive properly on GB that would be cool... i also noticed GB stock was simply not as smooth... though people claim OCing the processor to 1.4 helps that. Being a PC overclocker i worry about the extra voltage and heat that might result, but to be honest ive done no Thunderbolt overclock research yet.
So...the question is you need the drivers? I'm still on froyo and cm7 so I'm not much of a help here.

It doesn't require different drivers, when you plug it in and can choose "charge only/disk drive/internet pass through" select pass through, wait about 5-10 seconds, then choose disk drive mode.
I was also wondering if people had Perfect storm 1.5 and gingivitis 1.0 mirrored somewhere.

With the i717 ICS leak yesterday, I figured someone would have already posted this question.
I am on the fence on if I should apply it on my stock phone. Is it faster/smoother/stable?
If you have the AT&T leak from yesterday, if you wouldn't mind sharing your opinion on your device. I read someone was going back to GB and was trying to figure out why you would do that at all.
its not a terrible release at all. its mostly stable. there are some quirks in it but nothing earth shattering. if you have a stock note then id say go with ics.
i myself am planning on going back to GB. i want to wait until theres more development with ICS before i reflash again. i miss saurom.

I'm using the leaked stock ICS leak & it's awesome. I did have to remove all the AT&T bloatware with TiBU or settings > apps to un-install. I get a little lag when trying to scroll fast in settings > apps & in TiBu but besides that, it has been very stable for me. The only issue I had was with VVM but figured it out with the help of a forum poster.
You could always use DAG (creator of Saurom) modified stock ICS leak version. I'm using this as a daily driver & left GB behind in the past.
Its fun but...
Some apps keep crashing...right now I can't get google play to even load
Edit-Fixed problem by restoring backed up version of play store....just switched from iOS and still learning to problem solve I guess.
Thanks all.
So it appears to be pretty good if you treat it like a fresh install and not an upgrade. My gut tells me that the over the air update from AT&T is going to likely be the same for all intents and purposes.
So I did it yesterday and found out that you have no choice BUT to wipe the phone clean. I didn't know applying the update would annihilate everything. Oh well...it's cool and most things are in the cloud (with the exception of saved games).

I did a total wipe, but all of my pics were still there when the dust settled. I find this odd because when I returned my first Note to AT&T the Factory Data Reset didn't wipe them either.
But, I am not going back to GingerBread until the official ICS is released.

Why would you go back to Gingerbread?
Also, yeah--I noticed that it doesn't touch the SD card at all (so all my documents and pictures were still on the SD card when my phone was running GB). This time around, I just backed up the contents of the SD card onto the external one.

I would go back to GingBread to get the official AT&T Rom via OTA. Unless I happen to find a Rom that offers a truer ICS experience.

truer ICS?
You mean with no Touch Wiz? I wouldn't mind that either, but I have to say Touch Wiz is WAY better on ICS than it is on GB.

DAGr8's rom is super smooth for me.
Been using Apex Launcher and I like the look and options paired up with ICS but the launcher lag when returning to the home screen after a few minutes is annoying.
I'm liking it a lot. GB worked fine, but I prefer the ICS interface, it's a lot cleaner.
As some have mentioned, using 3rd party launchers have created a little lag, but if you go that route, a minor minor delay shouldn't stop you from using the launcher.
having said that, this is an alpha build. the bugs are surprisingly minimal and that makes me happy. can't wait for overclocking
i want to be able to drag an app on to an app to make a folder. can't do that on TW even though it is a feature of ICS...
in the facebook app you have to press an hold the + for a solid second or two before it will give you the option to like a post. not sure if this is FB on ICS or ICS on the Note or what.

Installed ICS from RootWiki this morning
I think the leaked version from RootWiki is pretty much stable and Im going to stay with it. There are some lags and weird things that happen from time to time but I can live with it. my main worry was that I would not have 4G. Well after hours of figuring out why I kept getting errors when flashing the radio i finally got it and now i have 4G. so this will be my daily driver. Now its time to experiment. cheers.

Some lag is an understatement, i had a lot of lag, regardless of the many ways i wiped/flash. Various launcher did not help and i find them inferior to TW... but to each is own. I ended up flash stock GB again
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
I used saurom with the ICS style theme, and while I was able to over clock it and get everything looking perfect.. this stock ICS runs smoother than the overclocked GB rom.
I'm very pleased and won't be going back. Hopefully a pure ICS rom comes soon enough, but until then I'm happy with this ICS leak.
Also, apex launcher is awesome!

So I purchased the newly released HTC Evo V 4g from Virgin Mobile. The phone boasts a 4gig ROM. Imagine my surprise when I fire the puppy up and there is only 1.1gigs available for my apps. What happened to the other 3+gigs? I can't believe the OS and Sense requires that much space. Is there anyway to reclaim some of that space so I don't have to push so much to my SD card?
cant do it
there is no way for you to reclaim this space its saved for updates and software on phone.
once it's rooted.. that might change.. or some dev will find a trick.. dunno..

There is, but the demand for it is not needed. Maybe as apps get bigger, we'll see an implementation of the method called firerat, firat, or something like that.

If it is possible and does not cause the phone to lose stability, then it must really not be in demand since I have yet to see a ROM that incorporates that.

It's not ROM integrated. It is a whole separate process which takes place prior to ROM installation.

Howzit guys,
I have a HTC Aria the AT&T version. I've rooted my phone and all the jazz. I'm interested in putting this ROM on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588599
What I want to know is how much internal space will be available once the ROM is installed. I currently an running Froyo/w HTC Sense and there just isn't enough internal storage space on the phone.
Regards
There's much more space in non HTC Sense roms I think. If I remember correctly, there's about 118mb free at the start.
Also, you can use S2E to move your dalvik cache to the sd card which will give you an additional 50-100mb depending on your apps.
Where can I get S2E?
You can find s2e on the Google Play store. It uses a partition on your sd card. To create the partition you can use a function in the Rom Manager app, which should have come with the ROM you installed. If not, its also on the Play store. You can also create the partition with Clockwork recovery. It will completely wipe your sd card, so make sure you have a backup of stuff you want to save. The ROM Manager method is a little easier.
Once the partition is setup, s2e will give you the option of loading cache and program files to the sd card partition. When you have it load program files, it automatically loads all existing and new downloaded programs to the sd partition. Even those that usually don't provide that option. In fact, DON'T SET "MOVE TO SD" FOR INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS. While it sounds a little counter-intuitive, it will actually defeat the s2e function. The sd partition actually becomes an extension of your phone's memory. Its a very clever program for phones with limited memory.

If you are concerned about free space, I'd advise you to install Cyanogenmod and then use S2E. If configured correctly, it will give you as much space for apps as you are willing to dedicate on your SD card. Preferably do that only with a reasonably fast SD card (class 2 is probably too slow).
Sorry if I caused confusion there. Out of all the ROM available for HTC Aria, which do you guys rate as the best and which are you currently using?
I don't wanna go through all the effort of installing and backing-up and it turns out I put a bad ROM on my phone.
I would recommend this ROM by WinSuk. I think it is the most up-to-date CM9 / ICS ROM.

I would recommend CM7.2. even though it's not as up to date as ICS, it's very stable, and no bugs as far as I can tell.

I've always been a Sense-ROM sort of guy for my Aria - tried CM7 a while back, and found the battery life wanting in comparison. But lately, I'm sick of seeing the "not-compatible" message with some of the newer apps on the market...
Is CM7.2 worth a look? It's Android 2.3, correct?
I don't like the list of issues with the camera on CM9, otherwise I would jump on that Winsuk ROM. I use my camera a lot - take pictures of receipts for Evernote, purchase comparisons, barcode scanning, etc. I can't afford to lose any basic camera functionality.

Not trying to advertise or anything here (okay maybe ), but in case you haven't looked at the CM9 thread in awhile, everything works on the camera except video (which used to work, which is strange), and a separate app can be used to take it if needed.
There's also a 2.3 based sense ROM around here somewhere ("Gingersense" I think), but I don't remember if everything works on it..

So what doesn't work, then? FM radio? Watching videos on Youtube?
Also - none of those "Gingersense" ROMs were worth much, as Bluetooth and other functionality would either crash the phone or not work at all. Never a true working phone option...

Everything not working is listed in the thread. Pretty much only one major thing remains - videos use a software decoder instead of hardware, and if videos are too big (say, bigger then the screen's resolution) they play slow. So HQ on YouTube is mostly unwatchable, but LQ plays fine
There's also a bug/memory leak in the decoder, and if it goes too long the system will run out of memory & reboot (this bug is fixed in Jellybean/CM10 though)
FM radio works with Spirit FM
I should note that battery life probably won't be as good though (kind of expected with all the new stuff I think)
You can always try it and revert back if you don't like it
I read through the thread - it sounds more like a testing ROM than an everyday ROM still, at least for how I would use it.
I might take the leap to CM7.2 again though, and hope I can manage the battery better.
Ok so I really need to put a new ROM on now cause my phones internal storage is so low I can't even open my Gallery anymore. I've been looking at CM7 or CM9 but there's so many different version on each, how do I know which is the most stable for everyday use?
So after the first couple days with the phone, how much memory do you have now? At the moment I'm at 10.38GB starting from 11.44GB from the day I got the phone.
To see what you have left go to... Settings>Storage>Available.
I have about 2 GB left after loading music, pics, and apps.

I assumed that it was 4.1.2, but I guess it's 4.1.1 And de-bloated means I just disabled all the apps that I don't need or want. :good: And, 2 GB left isn't a big deal, I don't think I will be putting much else on besides nandroids, and those I put on my PC.
I transferred my pictures and music from my TB and installed a few games...
