Have the Omoton protector. Covers the usable screen, could be a bit wider, but it's better than their 3a protector, which distorted the edges of the display. No clarity issues, no installation issues. The cutout at the top of the screen for the speaker is unnecessarily wide. No hole punch...

1 day followup: All the bubbles have disappeared. There is still very mild visible distortion that is present with every protector of this type. It doesn't bother me, but screen clarity perfectionists will probably complain. Again, its not a TGSP, but its great for what it is. No other issues.

I just bought this protector as well, and installed it today. It is exactly the same size as the pre-installed protector, which personally I like. That avoids issues with the curved screen, but is still large enough to protect the screen adequately when using a case. Of course the second...

Are we sure he took off the preinstalled protector, and it's not just scratches in the plastic protector?

Works on the HTC Desire 625 (Cheap Cricket Phone)

Same thing here. Crashes instantly when I try to call or answer a call. MotoX gen1.

Best Buy intentionally disabled it on their systems, even though the hardware supports it. I did get mine to work flawlessly at McDonalds.

Due to the changes in the NFC framework for apps like Google Wallet, if KitKat is ported to the GS2, it should support wallet. Comments?

Happy to hear this, its one of the reasons I stuck with Unnamed on Gingerbread. Most of the other decent roms neglected both the power menu and 14 toggle mod, which are, in my opinion, two of the most useful tweaks any modder can add to a rom.

You can install a secondary launcher, like Nova or Apex. It essentially puts Touchwiz in the back seat and makes everything look more like what you would expect in ICS.

Ahh, since the NFC antenna is in the battery, that makes perfect sense. Nice find!

They shouldn't so long as the stock Samsung release doesn't have these problems.

Someone should remind them that they are legally obligated to release the source immediately.

This has already been posted in this thread. It will do a lot of good if sources are released concurrently, which Samsung is legally obligated to do. On a sidenote, this link mentions that Android Beam in integrated, which is an NFC based tech, so that would imply Samsung is finally putting the...

Same for me, this phone just boots too fast. Atrix users don't have that problem, hehe...

Double facepalm???? That's weak sauce!

I don't feel like I need a screen protector with the GG screen. I just keep in in a pocket with nothing abrasive, and I don't touch it with anything abrasive.

I would have a switcheasy case on my S2 if they made them. I've had a neotouch case on my itouch since the day I got it and the thing looks almost new when I pull the case off. Super-awesome.

Mine's never crashed at 1.6, but I don't really stress test it there besides with benchmarks.

We need a hybrid option. Touch to navigate to files, with hardbuttons required to confirm flashing. Using the volume buttons to navigate to nested files gets old when i'm flashing more than a few files at once.

We can mod most gingerbread roms to work well on i777s using Entropy's hellraiser program, but it doesn't work for ICS yet. Once we have kernel sources you will quickly see some good custom ICS roms for our phone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

The development thread is hilarious. Half of XDA is going to be banned within the week.

Almost all of these terminals support Paywave, Paypass, and whatever American Express' contactless payment system is called. Your friend was probably using the Mastercard system, as that's what Google Wallet supports at the moment.

This ROM could maybe use one more release, but seeing as we're probably only a month out from an ICS source drop, I wouldn't be devoting tons of my time to a ROM thats going to be completely outdated that quickly.

Yes, as soon as the sources drop for the i9100 (presumably when Samsung officially releases ICS for the i9100), we will have ported copies of ICS working perfectly on the i777 within a few days. You can install the leaked i9100 roms now, but you'll have broken softkeys and no in-call audio, so...

It may be unlikely, but it is possible, that when i777 specific builds leak from Samsung they will properly support the NFC chipset. Although ISIS is scheduled for a major launch until 2013, their hand may be forced by the release of NFC sim cards that allow mobile payments from any phone...

I believe he won an i777 from a web contest for developers.

I vote to keep the thread open. We haven't had a lot of progress lately, but hopefully we will once we get some solid ICS builds we'll move on.

Though not a solid answer, here are some thoughts. When we do an Odin flash of an unsigned OS, this is the screen where the yellow triangle pops up to remind us of our evil ways (its actually an entire new picture that has the triangle on it, as evidenced by the fact that on an i777 this...

I remember reading that ICS took something like twice the resources to compile. Does anyone know how feasible it is to compile it on a consumer level machine?

Never thought I could come close to filling a 32GB card so quickly, but with gigabyte game files, movies, and nandroid backups of 4 different ROMs, it fills up quick.

True, but the ATT SGS2 has a fairly high pixel density. I'm probably jaded coming from an iPod touch and a dumbphone, so it looks amazing to me.

Current CM9 builds are using hacked Gingerbread kernels (correct), and as such we have sources, meaning that even if the Hellraiser hack mods userland files, the touchkeys could be fixed with a kernel mod, correct? I know you won't work on it as its a lot of work for a temporary hack, which I...

Which is like a bulkier, uglier, windows version of the SGS2 (spec-wise). He'll get over it.

I've been able to read and write tags on mine. Not sure the type. I'll figure it out and post back later.

Put them side by side and you'll see that while the iPhone wins for resolution and clarity, the SGS2 far exceeds it with contrast and colors.

You have to understand that NFC payment is really the ONLY major advantage the Galaxy Nexus has on the SGS2. The rest of the differences are fixable by software at this point.

Though the Touchwiz 4 launcher is closer to ICS than Cyanogenmod is.

Right, the problem is that because UART is broken on the i9100, low level fix development of the type he does NEEDs to be done on an i777, but due to the fact that they are almost the same device, almost everything he finds on the i777 can be used on the i9100. Its funny because although the...

I'll poop my pants if NFC payment works OOB with ICS on the i777.

I assume that due to the hardware similarities, any development work done by adamoutler for the i777 will be applicable to the i9100, so a much larger community will benefit from this work.

I have Galaxy Core Free installed on my SGS2 running Unnamed and it hasn't given me any problems. The graphics are smooth and detailed with no artifacts. Are you running a non-standard ROM? When I installed CM9 on my SGS2 for testing the graphics on this wallpaper were not nearly as detailed. It...

Once I figured out how to edit the script file, this installed without a problem. Seems to work fine, and as the menu and home softkeys work it is usable as a tablet in its current state. Pretty cool.

You're not an idiot, you just didn't read the directions. I would have done the same thing if I hadn't already read through these threads, considering I never read the directions.

Due to johhnyredcorn's consideration of the Galaxy Tab, Samsung has decided to reconsider updating this device to 4.0.

This version of ICScrewD is not compatible with the new release of unnamed (2.0 or higher). You may need to restore a nandroid backup or reinstall unnamed.

Same here...but its not long until we get ICS for real. Unnamed 3.0 for ICS is going to be awesome.

As I understand it, our phone is missing some necessary libraries (fixable problem), and we don't have the correct keys to access the secure element, which is needed to use the NFC chip in card emulation mode (near-unfixable problem for the time being).

I get 6/2 running the test from the browser, which is twice as fast as I get from the speedtest app. Its also at least as fast as my landline.

I'd keep the ATT version too. It is almost exactly the same as the international version, with the specific exceptions of the key layout, NFC chip in the ATT model, and a slightly lamer charging circuit in the ATT model, as well as missing FM. Its really just a tradeoff of "do you want FM or...
