EG22 Samfirmware.com, Respect & Give Thanks

I just want to put my 2 cents out here for people to read.
Samfirmware.com was awesome enough to get us the latest leak after I asked on their twitter on Jul 11th, they followed through.
First I hope everyone that downloads and runs EG22 will drop by their site and twitter, @Samfirmware, and show some love, its the respectful thing to do.
I feel like having a mirror is taking away from their deserved traffic to their site and exposure, also they cant meter how many users downloaded it. Even if we just post the hotfile link they provide would be better than putting up a DB link, this way they can see how many US users are interested in the Epic4G. By doing this, maybe they will work more in future to get leaks for our phone because of the number of hits to their site, or the number on the hotfile counter.
Well the direct link is here, http://hotfile.com/dl/124888596/3935e47/D700EG22.rar.html , the password is samfirmware.com
Also I know some people feel that them saying for people to donate more from US, they are not demanding it. It cant hurt to ask, so I signed up for their one time premium deal.

Even though Im gonna DL the flashable version, Im gonna download it from their link.

Could you please stop trolling. Its literally all you do in the Epic4g section. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even own the phone.

Yeah let's thank them for an outdated 2.3.4 when 2.3.5 is the newest for gb and ics is the newest for all of android. Would you take the old model or the newer one...

Get out of here with you irrelevance.
But I wouldn't thank them at all, what they're doing is illegal, sure they leaked it to us, but they asked for "donations" to get it out.

Wow... you mustve been dropped on your head a few times when you were a kid or deprived of oxigen while in the woumb. One more time: Ice Cream Sandwich is not released on any phone as of yet.
On that note: why are you still here?

And how many phones are even past 2.3.3? Better yet, 2.3.4?
But I do agree. Prlly 3 months. We've been getting "leaked" gingerbread roms since like may.
If they keep updating it behind the scenes, we're not going to see a real release because they're gonna keep "optimizing" it. Idk why you people always get excited about one. We get a new one everymonth. Nothings new.
Except maybe the *****ing that's gonna pop up because of stupid bugs like "OMG MY PHONE TAKES 1 SECOND TO SCREEN OFF WHEN I'M WATCHING YOUTUBE /life"

i agree that 2.3.4 isn't outdated yet because that is what the atrix just got.
and samsung still sucks so it won't be updated until probably october

Guess people have been showing their appreciation...
@SamFirmware: Thanks people We keep the Samsung SPH-D700 up to date! We stop with T959V!

Is there a way to port that rom so we could get the official psone games instead of messing with emulators?

Edit: If anyone sees any ROMs for the Tablet S, let me know. A dump would not help, I need a full rom zip.

I could port a banana over to the galaxy tab if that helps

Razr Launcher

Hi guys
Someone shared a copy of the Moto RAZR launcher.
I installed it, looks awesome but needs a bit of tweaking.
Not sure if one can modify it to work 100% with the Atrix, but it basically gives you the original Motorola ICS feel?

Link plz

I really wonder what take them so long to bring ICS to any of their device since they don't even theme it that much. All the icons are stock ICS !

Updated OTA to latest version but...

So I recently unrooted my phone to have Sprint connect it to their services. I updated to the newest software version 2.3.5 but, nothing changed as far as the sense goes. It's still the same old sense since like 2.2. And what I mean it doesn't have the theme changer or shortcuts in the drop down menu. Am I missing something?
I remember unrooting my old EVO to see what the OTA updates were like a while back and seeing the new features. But I remember having to install that update via Sync. Problems is I looked on HTC's website and all over googleville and couldn't find it anywhere. Can somebody please help me with this? And possibly refresh my memory on how to do it via Sync. Thanks in advance.

HTC never updated us to sense 2. Kinda sucks really...HTC even updated phones with less ram and slower processors (for example htc wildfire) but left us with the OG EVO on the old original Sense.
Kinda bullsh*t if you ask me but whatever at this point I get to upgrade in Novemeber, though I would still like to see sense 2 before then.

It wasn't the full sense 2 but it has some of the features like the new lock screen, the drop down menu shortcuts to WiFi networks and such. And the themes changer

Those features have never existed on the stock ROM for the EVO 4G. You must've been running a custom ROM.

Those features came on my evo. I rooted and went to aosp, but they are on my stock ROM

You had quick settings in the Notification pulldown and the Sense 3.0 lockscreen stock on your EVO? I don't think so . . .

I am running stock software and I can assure you it does not have quick settings and the unlock screen is the same as my old Hero had so there is no difference. You can download the app called quick setting which will give you the settings in the pull down menu but this is not from HTC.

Oh well maybe I was mistaken but those features are on the stock EVO shift. I don't think I can root since I hot Tue 2.3.5 update

You have to use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader on the 2.3.5 version, which allows you to get root. The only other exploit is TacoRoot, which allows you to downgrade to a version rootable with unrEVOked or Revolutionary (you can likewise downgrade after unlocking with HTCDev).

Xperia Arc & Neo ICS Updates released today

Just found this and wanted to share.
Arc & Neo ICS updates out today.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/05/2...eo-android-4-0-ics-updates-start-rolling-out/
On a side note I thought I read somewhere that the Arc is a common ROM to be ported to Xperia PLAY.....this true?
Anyway just sharing.

Yes, it is true.
Sent from my R800x using XDA

Wohoo, this sounds promising, it sounds like my first try to port a ROM ever here, since I really want a ICS-ROM for Xperia Play, but only if the android version is 4.0.4 then, otherwise, it will not get better And after that I will try to get everything to work as well

it seems that the latest Xperia Pro ICS firmware has been leaked!

The sony devs better pray that it runs like crap on our phones because I cant imagine them looking worse than they do right now

If devs port this rom to the Play, get TouchPads working with all the touchpad games and I'll retract every ICS is bad for the Play comment I've made recently

If it wasn't for the custom roms, I would feel like crap for buying this phone (Xperia Play). At least, there are some decent roms out there.
Anyway, it is a shame that Sony hasn't released, at least, the sources, or have they?

ICS is great for us who pretty much just use the pad for emulators. Emulators work fine in ICS, and you get all the niceties (sadly the rotation animation is way up there on my list).
I could care less if Sony released an update or not, I'm still able to get a damn fine ICS experience with the aokp rom.
