[Q] purchasing support

Hi,
I'm about to buy a new Android smartphone, since my HD2 digitizer is dying once again.
My choice falls on either a Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy S2.
I'm just wondering if someone can help me in understanding any flaws/issues that has been encountered with the Samsung Galaxy S2; what about the battery, the digitizer? ...anything else?
Are you satisfied with the phone? please be sincere.
Thank you in advance.
regards
See, if you get iP5 or S III you still won't get satisfied..
Satisfaction never happens..
Anyways... Go for S III i think... Or Nexus Maybe Cuz its next gen device
..
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

Yes HTC ONES/X was an alternative, but I do not like the not replaceable battery.

The latest link you sent me was like a WIKI for this phone but I still can't pinpoint where exactly I should be going to get this phone totally stock. Zedomax thread is waaaaaay to outdated and almost everyone who tried the method posted on his website ran into problems. HTC makes some nice phones but I forgot how UN ROOT friendly they are.
To answer your question: my wife has a friend that is up for a Sprint contract renewal. She's interested in the Evo LTE 4G (which still goes for $200 with a new contract.) So what I'm going to do is GIVE her my phone for free and give her the $$$ to buy the NOTE 2 for me! Win Win!
Now, all I gotta do is unroot this POS so I can get this deal done.

CyanogenMod for AT&T LG Optimus G?

What do you think, will the CyanogenMod for AT&T LG Optimus G?
This does not belong in the developer subforum. Development is reserved for releases for someone developing something. This belongs in Q&A. Anyway, to answer your question, there will be CM on the OG. There are pictures of it in the CWM thread.

Horrible post on my side. What I should have said was "Aww man, totally thought this was a release and not a Q!! Thanks for the let down." Much cleaner and got the point across.

Well... I'm not sure what it takes exactly to port the CyanogenMod code over to our device, BUT, I do have a linux machine here that I could use to pull repositories and attempt a compile, if someone could point me in the right directions... I assume it's not as simple as "git codebase, ./configure, make clean all" and get a rom zip out the other side... LOL
It is that easy when the device and vendor repos are there, unfortunately, they aren't yet.
All it takes is
repo init -u https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android.git -b jellybean
then, repo sync
Then, add the links to the sources as a manifest xml in .repo/local_manifest.xml (which you'll have to make yourself in gedit). Just follow the manifest.xml for the format. Then, repo sync again and then . build/envsetup.sh && brunch <insertdevicecodenamehere> and it will generate.

We're going to use the nexus 4 source anyway.

Wouldnt you need the optimus source to make everything work with the nexus source? Or is it just redundant because of their relation?

We may use the OG touchscreen drivers, since they work better.

We've made some headway. Just have to rework the display drivers so we can see.

[Q] New TW ROMs?

I've been searching and searching but can't seem to find a straight answer or exactly what I'm looking for. I like Touchwiz (gasp yes) but are there any Touchwiz based ROMs out there anymore being made? It seems everything is AOSP based. I'd love a newer ICS (JB is ok too) based ROM that has the newer Touchwiz (like is on the S3). Can someone please point me to some Touchwiz ROMs that are still being developed? Thanks VERY much!

[Q] Droid Razr xt912 w/ t-mobile?

Hello Everyone,
Is possible to use the Razr xt912 with T-mobie USA? If is possible, what Rom should I use? I was reading about GSM patch but I'm not 100% clear. Can someone help?
Thanks
I think it is not possible to use with t-mobile carrier because xt912 released only with VZW and that patch is for converting gsm ROM into the cdma .
That patch will not work to unlock the phone for any network
Thanks!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!

I think you're mistaken. The xt910 can be used, but not the xt912.

No, You cannot AFAIK. You can use XT912 on any GSM carrier outside US. But in the US, you can only use it on Verizon.
The only way I see it possible is getting your phone unlocked by VZW itself.
