Btw why not install a custom rom instead of punishing urself stock bloated rubbish

Upgrading the os won't solve nada.
Useless fones

Xperia no doubt. The chacha is a crappy budget fone

I don't get u pple, 4wins and 1 loss and u all whining already. Put a sock in it abeg. This gets the cake for knee jerk and reactionary.

And this is precisely why folks call u pple fair weather fans.

Sure the tactics were wrong or better still the team selection for those tactics wrong, but then how does that one game define the rest of the season?

Abeg man up and stop whining. For a club with a chance at two cups in march despite havin arguably the worst season in recent memory, I fear for u folks. Is it REALLY that bad?

Besides were it not for the handball the outcome would have been different. And I wonder if anyone would hav noted how poor the boys were

Don't worry. At the rate tottenham is going, ur guranteed 4th.

This past week and this weekend I've finally found the time to enter into the colorful world of custom Android ROMs. After figuring out just how insanely great and awesome ClockWorkMod Recovery is, I set about to figure out what the best IceCream Sandwich ROM is for the Galaxy SII. While the answer to that question became clear quite quickly, this answer also gave rise to a whole bunch of other questions.





When it comes to Ice Cream Sandwich on the Galaxy SII there's two general routes you can take: Samsung's stock ICS ROM or modified versions thereof, or the nightly CyanogenMod 9 builds. It may surprise you, but a team of open source hackers who are at a severe disadvantage compared to Samsung's own engineers produce a far superior user experience. If you have a Galaxy SII and even have only a modicum of technical knowledge or know someone that does (it's insanely easy), there's honestly not a single logical reason not to move to the nightly CM9 builds.





Samsung's Ice Cream Sandwich ROM is a total and utter disaster. It's not a single bit faster or more responsive than the Gingerbread ROM, which, as far as I can tell, is an achievement in and of itself. Worse yet, it has a Frankenstein-esque user interface that combines the beautiful Ice
Cream Sandwich design with old Gingerbread bits and large swathes of TouchWiz crap, leading to a very schizophrenic back and forth between different styles. It lacks most of the stock ICS applications, replacing them with Samsung's own crap, and, of course, it's a given that it comes to laden with crapware.







So, I decided to try out the countless modified versions of the stock ROM that have sprung up. While some are trying very hard to make it all look like stock Ice Cream Sandwich as much as possible, they all basically just apply a blue theme to the same Gingerbread applications, and as we
all know, a different theme colour does not a new interface make. I mean, I won't score a date with Heather Graham just because I'm wearing a Brad Pitt mask.





Frustrated by this state of affairs, I decided to settle for nothing less but stock Ice Cream Sandwich. All that beautiful blue ICS design that Google's been dangling in front of my eyes was going to be mine. There was only one way to get there: CyanogenMod 9. CM9 is still only available as nightly builds, which scared me a great deal, but after sifting through the XDA forums it became clear to me that for all intents and purposes, the only thing not working was video recording (due to missing kernel sources). I can live with that.






I downloaded the latest nightly and Gapps package onto my SD card, flashed them with CWM, did a full
wipe/factory reset, and rebooted. I then found out what Android is really all about. The difference between the stock Samsung ROM and CM9's AOSP experience couldn't be bigger. Suddenly, I was looking at a highly consistent, beautiful, and distinctive interface. The rough edges, present in both the stock Gingerbread and ICS ROMs, were gone. The occasional stutter or interface lag are nowhere to be found. And boy, is it fast. It's like I've gotten a hardware upgrade. Opening and closing applications, browsing, multitasking - it's all near-instant.






It's full of cool little touches, like the CRT screen-off animation and the blue overscroll effect (which replaces bouncy scrolling). The white text on
black background, augmented with the distinctive ICS blue (FF33B5E5), looks gorgeous on the SII's SuperAMOLED+ display, as if it's been specifically designed for it. It's clear Google spent a lot of time on creating a more coherent and, for the lack of a better term, digital experience. ICS moves away from iOS' horrible skeuomorphic UI elements, taking baby steps towards the Metro side of the spectrum. Less chrome and childish fake leather, more content and cleaner presentation.






Now, it's important to remember that CM9 is still in alpha, meaning it could contain all sorts of untold nasties. So far, however, I have yet to encounter any issues, but two days of use is of course anything but a definitive test. I am planning on doing an actual review of CM9 - but not until it hits stable (somewhere after Samsung releases the kernel source code). The question all this raises is a rather straightforward one: how is it possible that a group of open source engineers can create this wonderful package that Samsung, despite all its resources, technical documentation, and inside knowledge of their own device, can't even come close to? What the heck are they doing back in South Korea?

These past few days, one thing has become very, very clear to me: Samsung, HTC, and all the other Android OEMs are ruining it for Google. Not only that, they're wasting considerable resources on useless and ugly crap that does nothing to benefit consumers. Android may have needed customisation a number of versions ago - but not today. ICS is ready as-is. TouchWiz and Samsung's other customisations add nothing. Zero. Nada. They only make the device slower, uglier, and less appealing.





It's high time Android vendors stop with all the customising, and just ship plain CM on their (future)
devices. Differentiate with hardware instead. Work together with the CM team, and make sure the CM team works together with Google. Supply them with devices, hardware specifications, driver source code, and so on, and provide them with servers for distributing updates. Not only will it create a better user experience, it also relieves some of the software development pressure from the Android vendors. On top of that, it could alleviate some of the fragmentation concerns. It's a win-win-win-win-win.





If you have a supported Android device, you owe it to yourself to check out CM9. You won't regret it. This is what Android should be - and it's good.

Ogbeni sharrap ur gob.

Ignoramus, was it gej that initiated the power roadmap? Do u even realise that all this stuff are planned and are being implemented devoid of any input from Jonathan?
I guess u have been asleep since 2003


Is this not what we have been telling the mumu to replicate with oil/fuel subsides. Put in place a plan backed by legislation. Work with order and sense.

With the hikes in power costs and now this opening up, this will be a very profitable venture for people with funds

Gbam!

No u can't convert. Pls don't buy. That thing is antiquated. Its like buying samsung true I. Am sure they were made same time sef.

Even d specs sef, u no see say e go slow? Go buy nokia torchlight, e go beta

Excuses, excuses and even more excuses.

Now its the wagebill. I suppose if arsene doubles all his duds wages and the bill shoots up to highest in the league we will magically move to 1st place.?
If not then why are u implying the opposite?

This is the part where u crank out the dictionary and english texts to explain ur words

@dk take time!

Got the feeling that now the “cabal” has gotten rid of AVB, even torres will start scoring.

Email is not a problem on android, even the default emaic app works just fine.

As earlier pointed out, there are apps that work just fine too like the kmail app.



Mcheew all dis ics oppression sef, I go vex install cm9 o

Wetin cause the quarrel sef? !d like to know. Cos aren't they supposed to be national team mates

Tehehehehehe.
Hahahahahaha.
Hohohohoho.

Hilarious. W@nkster gbogbo

blackweaver: haven't even had time to rock 11.10 properly, what with unreliable nepa and so much activity during the weekend; i think i'm slowing down

Lol. Ur not alone.
Even trying to figure out why my HTPC is doing spontaneous reboots.

Havnt had time to see if its ram or hard drive.

puskin: @4ller. . . U wan make I give U NL2 blow b4 U go answer me abi.

Oga mi wetin I do o? I'm still loyal o. No vex for ur boi o. Still humble o,

Of Course its not supported. What app is it you are trying to run? Get an android equivalent. Android runs apps packaged in .apk format. Not .jar

If u absolutely have to run a java app, note that the functionality will be hit oR miss. AnD most likely won't work well.

Google for a app called "JBED". Its used to run java apps on android. Install it, put ur jar files on the memorY card, run . . . . ..

Hi gurus, got a hardware question.
Got a old desktop I use as a htpc. It uses IDE hard drives, changed it a couple of times.

Thing is am thinking of changing it again cos its failing, but finding the 80 gb limit a bit soso. How can I possibly get to stick a SATA drive in there?

All d recent pc iv seen come with connector cables that won't fit on the motherboard of this ancient p4. I only use it for xbmc anyway so not looking to spend any cash on a new pc!

Hehehehe
Hahahaha
Hohohoho
Hihihihihi

! Can't fit to laff o

On operamini there used to be a link to change to desktop view. Pls return that link

surprised you folks are even discussing this sef, of course van persie is leaving.

and i doubt if the fees will be up to 25 mill, except of course if its man citeh. if wenger could sell fabregas for that price how much more vap persie at 29.



as if we all don't know that profiteering is the watchword and target at arsenal. abeg.
i think what should be more prtinent now is praying that song does not leave too, cos na dat one go kill matta o

Nokia submitted its annual report (Form 20-F) to the SEC today, and -- as required of all publicly traded companies -- the information provided a candid overview of its financial health and market risks. Based on its quarterly reports, we've already known it was a rather bleak year for the Finnish outfit, which saw a €1.4b annual loss compared to €1.3b in profit just one year ago.


Further, its net sales similarly took it on the chin, which amounted to €38.6b in 2011 versus €42.4b in the previous year. In terms of units sold, Nokia pushed out 339.8m [size=13pt]feature phones[/size] during the year -- a three percent decline from the 349.2m units sold during 2010.


The company attributed the drop to its aggressively priced competitors, as well as its lack of a dual-SIM handset for the first half of the year. Nokia's smartphone segment took an even harder hit, which fell to 77.3m units sold -- a 25 percent drop from the 103.6m devices shipped just one year ago. Once again, the company cites its aggressive competition as the primary factor for the decline, along with a waning interest in the Symbian platform.



In its discussion of potential threats to the company's bottom-line, Nokia provides a rather forthright assessment that accurately pegs its future success in the smartphone marketplace upon the acceptance of Windows Phone among developers and consumers. Likewise, its projections to sell 150 million Symbian units is failing to materialize -- big shocker there -- and Nokia now expects demand for its homegrown platform to continue deteriorating.



Nonetheless, it remains stalwart in the commitment to support Symbian through 2016 -- though surprisingly, no comment on how this in itself could be a disaster to the company's bottom-line. Should Nokia's smartphone effort fail, that leaves it with the Series 40 feature phone segment, which it characterizes as a low-margin business that may see its demand erode as smartphones reach even lower price points. Nobody ever said that the mobile industry was a bed of roses, but if you'd like to view the world through Nokia's eyes, you're certain to find its commentary (pages 13 - 47 of the source document) an interesting read
