[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gv2004:
Kept reading, and did not see anything about internal...and if I wanted a ROM, I would have to place it on the SD Card, I am just going to get one of the Gingerbread ROM's, but my question is, how is the battery life, is it still horrible? Can someone post a video tutorial about how to internal recovery via nvfash? Internal recovery is Clockwork Mod Recovery Correct? I am coming from installing custom ROMS on the HTC HD2, so I am not new to this, but I would like a video step by step, and even if I get that far, I have to put the ROM I want on the SD Card which I do not have, in order to flash it....

Sorry for the questions, I just want to make sure I have the correct video and info, so I do not brick my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] likeitnot:
Hello. I just received my Galaxy S 4G today and I was wondering if there is some way for me to send certain contacts directly to voicemail like I could on my previous phones? I've looked all around and couldn't find it.

Possibly a great app if it's not available?

Thanks for the help everyone.

_edit_ for the record I tried this:

From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.

Tap Settings.

Tap Call settings.

Tap All calls.

Tap Auto reject.

Tap Auto reject list.

Tap Add number.

Enter desired number.

Tap Save.

but that doesn't send the calls to voicemail, and then it shows that I missed 12 calls from that specific number at one time. It's crazy. I need it to go to voicemail specifically. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ashwinmudigonda:
On any given contact if you bring up the menu, you'll see the option to add to ignore list. However, I have other issues. I have 5 contacts called Spam, and between them there are more than 100 numbers. After adding the third contact to the ignore list, I got a message saying that I had crossed 100 limit and that I must delete some entries to make space. This is annoying. I wish someone figures a way to send a contact straight to voicemail.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] targett:
I like the sound of the Flyer but am thinking of which to get...

I already have a Desire HD so can use it as a wireless hotspot so was thinking of getting the Flyer in the WiFi only version but I'm put off a little by it only being 16Gb where as the 3G enabled is 32Gb!

Any thoughts on the 'Watch' app???

Basically I'm not sure and am seeking help and your thoughts on the subject...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bxsteez:
Hard to say but I was thinking the same thing you are. I have a Tmobile data plan so the Euro 3G flyer would've worked for me. I can tell you why I chose the wifi only model and maybe that will help.

The 3G model is super expensive so that was the main reason i didn't get it. I figured that with the wifi only version i can just get a hotspot device and save money on future devices too. Now that being said the 3G model can act as a hotspot too...

Sorry. I'm betting that wasn't much help. I think you will be happy either way.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mikecoffee:
I got the 3g one mainly down to that the only one they had loving it, can't wait till root, so I can play with phone.apk
[Nook Color General] sonatacreative:
Hey there Guys & Gals,

Searched throughout the forums and couldn't seem to find a straight answer on this.

I originally rooted my wife's 1.0.1 NC using Autonooter. That worked out great and then I was able to sideload the 1.1.0 NC updated using ROM Manager and CWR to apply the pre-rooted update ROM (this is where I got the pre-rooted sideload: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932145). After that I used an SQL editor to turn all the software updates to manual. This manual switch has held the 1.2.0 update off and everything is working great.

However, I'm really interested in 1.2.0 and would love to apply another sideloaded, pre-rooted update IF that exists. Does anyone know if this is out there? It sounds like most NC owners are running CM7 now as opposed to going down the stock rooted (no ROM) version of the NC. Is there anyone who was successfully able to load up rooted 1.2 from rooted 1.1 without having to resort to an alternate ROM?

As a side question, has any 1.1 NC owners had success with the Netflix app or does that absolutely require at least 1.2 to work correctly?

Thanks for your help!!!

-Stephen
[Nook Color General] sonatacreative:
Wanted to bump this one again in case anyone had any suggestions. If not, I'll let this thread die. :)
[Nook Color General] Droiddict:
Same boat here. I'm still running 1.1 with updates set to manual but I have CM7 on SD. I would also like to update to 1.2 but as far as I know, the only way to do it is to return to stock, unrooted 1.1 and then apply the 1.2 update from B&N. After that, you have the manual nooter option to root 1.2.

Have not been able to get Netflix to work on either stock 1.1 or CM7 with and edited build.pro file. It doesn't show up in the Market so I haven't even been able to try to get it to work.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I know there's a CWM-compatible stock 1.2 ROM floating around the dev forum, but I don't know about pre-rooted. It would at least save you unrooting 1.1.
[Nook Color General] sonatacreative:
Sounds like best option is to use the 1.2 CWM capable update and then autonoot again... hmmmm. Everything is working great now and I don't want to mess anything up, but netflix and flash are both very tempting...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty5689:
MEar is some over the cloud music app ASUS launched for about a month now. I was looking into Google Music Beta, but since in Canada I get the shack (right beside the border too). Since ASUS gave us a year of unlimited useless ASUS WebStorage I figured I might as well use it for MEar. Uploading songs as I'm typign this will give feedback when I'm done. So far it seems to only support MP3 (the desktop app only lets you choose MP3 to upload, but I can drop it into 'my music' folder directly)

So I went into CWM to flash a ROM and when I tried wiping the cache, the screen got stuck after it said "Cache wipe complete."

Should I just pull the battery and boot into cwm or is anything at risk?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
I already google searched, but how do I port a theme from that continuum thread to a jv9 base? Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Decompile every apk in the theme and in the jv9 base and compare all the files and then make changes. You will need to edit png, .9.png (search for it) xml, and smali files if they were edited
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kdwolf85:
search the Themes and Apps section for Theme Porter. There was a link provided a while back to another thread in the Android Themes section with a tool that uses scripts so you don't have to decompile the apk unless you need to do xml edits.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
What programs do I need? And regarding that app, I did see it but I thought it wouldn't work for gingerbread
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kdwolf85:
the key thing with that app is that the folders in the apk have the same names. So if one has the -v4 end to it; then the other has to as well. It does work with gingerbread just fine. I used it myself to port some themes over while I was running a few gingerbread builds. You could also try to UOT kitchen. It works very well with Gingerbread.
[Optimus V Android Development] smokenbiskits:
This is my compilation of Antutu Benchmarks...I've done many others so expect more.

- All ROMS benchmarked at 768MHz except stock V...set to Airplane mode except Sun Spider

- Ran 3 of each benchmark...I never ran them after each other so no caching.

- Swap partitioned to 128Mb/512Mb fs .... I've shown that partitioning doesn't matter in my other post (check below)

- Phones only used the benching programs & a screenshot app

This took awhile, probably greater than 2 weeks as I restarted again and again when I found better ways to set up the phone, but I like to see actual numbers to back up reasoning...more to come!!!

Hey what filesystem are you using when doing these benchmarks? Also on the stock ROM benchmark on quadrant advanced, are you using the stock unrooted kernel? because I have a stock unrooted v that has never had anything flashed to it and im getting like 480's.
[Optimus V Android Development] nikeman513:
Unreliable

You can't judge a phone when it comes to anything based off of CM7. CM7's stage fright is unstable and basically, skips some of the initial tests and marks them as completed. This causes highly inflated scores. All the 2.2 or non CM7 based ROM's will post more accurate and relevant scores. I have tried almost all of these ROM's and Bumble Bee is the winner for me. Off of real performance speeds, not Quadrant Scores..
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
True, but that only applies to benchmarks that use stagefright enabled tests, such as Quadrant. He ran his tests on several different benchmarking tools. Besides, we all know benchmarks don't matter, right? ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] bjones72751:
I seem to have better performance out of cm7. I play crusade of destiny every now and then. It lags a bit on bumblebee and other 2.2 rpm's, but its pretty smooth on cm7.
[Optimus V Android Development] fatchick1o9:
thank you so much for doing this work man. This is exactly the kind of critical information that a newer user like me needs. In fact I consider this one of the more critically important posts / collection of data that I have come across in my searches for the ROM that will best fit my needs.

I've been torn between a few ROM's (Stock V, Harmonia, Bumblee, Gingerbread based ROM) and this data you've provided will allow me to pick a ROM based on 1) the features I think I will need 2) it's performance level relative to other ROM's.

That's not to say some developers might not leapfrog each other in performance, but it gives me a good idea of who is on a path that I also wanna walk on. And right now that's looking like Harmonia to me (maybe Bumblebee as a trial). But I LOVE the absolutely stripped down nature of Harmonia 1.3.1 on my LG OV.

again, thank you so much for this info.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Interesting. I'd love to see you test Jerry's or KemikalElite's ROMs. On a straight IHO build ondemand @ 245-729MHz I'm getting into the 1500s on AnTuTu, low 900s on Quadrant[1], high 9s on Linpack single threaded.

1: Quadrant seems to be rather dependent upon minimum CPU speed here, as bumping that up a bit got me into the 1100s.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Quadrant scores should be completely thrown out. It's easy to optimize code for the benchmark. Acer released an official patch that did just that for some of their Android phones.

Smartbench may be a better choice. I also would like to see one of the I.H.O. builds tested against the other ROMs.
[Optimus V Android Development] cjtulowiecki:
Why doesn't he want that I was thinking about getting the same 1
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:
At this point no one should be downloading AOSP due to its lack of support and general lack of being a good ROM. Bumblebee (2.2, most stable, super fast, great battery life, etc, but stock), Harmonia (2.2 with a lil more features), Ath3nos (most stable 2.3/CM7 so far) and Inferior Human Organs (2.3, CM7.1, still some issues but wide open source, actual bug logging, etc.)
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I agree with most of this, except whether Ath3nos is most stable, it's based on an earlier source of IHO, and IHO had a lot more fixes since then. I haven't had any issues with IHO (except the documented ones already, a shrinking list), maybe because it's better documented it seems easier to pick at the details. It should be THE Gingerbread/CM7.1 to use for Optimus V right now.
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:
Weird, I've had much more problems with the builds in the IHO thread than the Ath3nos thread.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
It's recommended to use clockworkmod recovery on the Optimus V since it was designed for it instead of Optimus S. Or could try wiping everything 3 times just to make sure before flashing ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] smokenbiskits:
Apology

So I wanted to apologize, as I've not added the rest of the benchmarks and scores yet. I can still do it, and will try to work on it after this semester is over.

I've learned a lot from doing this, from everyone's input (thanks Aphrodite) and even had a BB version made with swap support enabled. It's hard to benchmark guys: I fried my 32gb sdcard, never could have apps I wanted, and had to redo a lot of tests because the screenshot app I was using needed me to go slower lol.

Stagefright is an interesting little fulcrum for bad feelings...If you enable something that gives you somewhere around a 15% performance increase, and may also decrease stability by 5-10% do you take it? I do, but that's my personal choice as rock solid stability is boring to me. If you need it though, hey by all means get it.

I actually asked the Techreport editors and had my question answer on their podcast of how they benchmark. They were helpful, and had some pretty good ideas. The synthetic vs real-world test is what I'll work on in the next round. I don't know how long I'll have this phone though. I ask it to do a lot, and although it's great, and $25 a month is nice, I'd like something that I can push harder.

Hope you have a successful phone hacking journey!!!
[Optimus V Android Development] fatchick1o9:

Beyond Happy with the "mrg666	IHO-CM7.1RC1	August 8, 2011"

I'm getting the highest quadrants i've ever scored on this phone, and it's super stable (if not the most stable GB rom i've used)

Got these quadrant scores with setcpu @ 806mhz and 825mhz both on performance scaler. 825mhz will reboot after about 5 minutes to 10 minutes of use, this is at the performance governor setting. 806mhz runs super solid and have really yet to get a reboot.

It seems kinda crazy, but i swear im getting way more battery life with setcpu set to 806 on Performance governor vs my old default of 320-806mhz on interactive (Can anyone make sense of this?)

mrg666 cm7.1 8/8/11 build:

Quadrant:

806mhz[performance]: 1329 (highest), consistent 1270+ scores

825mhz[performance]: 1368 (highest), scores range from 1200-1368

Linpack:

806mhz[performance]: 9.7-9.9 MFLOPS

825mhz[performance]: 10.9 MFLOPS

Non-rom based mods:

90% of my apps moved to SD via built in manage applications tab (found that moving apps to sd sped up the speed of my database writes etc. in quadrant)

Antek App Freezer with a few non-essential apps frozen

thanks to the developer, finally found a super fast rom with lots of stability.

gonna flash the mrg666 8_9_2011 rom next.
[Optimus V Android Development] LeslieAnn:
You can ignore your Quadrant scores, they are false readings.

Certain Quadrant tests crash on any OV rom with Stagefright enabled and misinterprets that as finished test. This makes it think your phone finished the test faster than it did and awards a higher score.
[Optimus V Android Development] huntersquid:
Awesome work! Would you think about adding IHO (mrg666's build is the closest stock AFAIK) in a couple of weeks once they've done a few more updates?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
I don't think so. I think it is a limitation of BT
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmSixNine:
My understanding is that only 1 bluetooth radio connection can be made and be IN USE at any time.

So if you are actively connected to 1 device its using the radio.

Some BT headsets can be paired to multiple phones at the same time, but once you are in a call then the other connection is lost. Its more of a stand by connection while both are NOT in use.

If you were to stream music, it would be in use. So only 1 connection can be maintained.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
However, when BT devices do different things they can properly hand off activity if the device doesn't have routing bugs. On my Epic I have stereo streaming to my car stereo, plus my headset. Two different profiles, and if I make a call or one comes in, the music is interrupted and it USUALLY goes to my headset. But, like I mentioned, bugs...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jpr0930:
Its all personal preference really. Miui was more stable for me and if you don't like the ios feel you can use a different launcher. Cm7 is good too but I always had issues with high android system usage draining my battery and tried all the fixes to no avail. Miui has no 4g yet, but I liked it better. Way better battery life on Miui too. Both have great, helpful communities. Miui updates weekly.

Back on Sense now and haven't looked back. GingerAle v3. Check it.

Twiz said it best....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I like them both, but have stuck with MIUI longer than originally intended. I have zero lag on MIUI, it's actually smoother than CM7 for me.

Try both and see which you like more. I'd give each of them a few days to get a good feel for how they're set up and how theming and tweaking works.
