[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Why chose BGJP4 as the basis for Icarus and now Jupiter Overcome? I think it is for Spanish firmware?(Telefonica). Are the developers Spanish? If not then how did they know that this particular version of Gingerbread is the most stable? Have they tried the latest gingerbread which is DXJPE. It is Asian but it happens to be the latest/newest.....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsnyder217:
Cool story bro

Sorry thought this was posted in the evo 3d section
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
FAIL!!!!!!!​
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
No we are not spanish (as far as I know lol). We tested the carrier BGJP4 firmware and found it more stable and snappier than the stock JQ1 (probably due to extensive testing made by spanish carrier).

Overcome has a wide user base and since asian firmware have limited locales. The decision was made to follow Euro firmwares as they contain widest range of locales to suit as much users as possible.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
I cannot argue about users of overcome or to some extent galaxy tab users as I don't have figures available but judging from the development of Gingerbread for Asia which happened 3 x during the past 2 months(JPC,JPD,then JPE) then Samsung might have reasons for doing so. I can only "assume" that there are more Asian users than other areas in the world.

Notice also that I did not ask this question under the Jupiter thread in development section as I have read the "rant" of thePitBull about so many questions asked there. I don't want to piss off the developers. Yet I cannot help but question why the reluctance to use other versions aside from European ones.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Thepittbull justified rant was against those who troll or throw in destructive criticism like this rom sux etc NOT on those who ask legitmate questions. Apparently you are quiet new to overcome. We have adopted the asian 2.2.1 line of rom in froyo overcome ROM. Alterbridge86 made an astronomical efforts in trying to integrate other locales into the asian rom and that included decompiling apk by apk but it was a total mess as some apps didnt work or accept new locales. On release of GB and after delibration it was decided that the European ROM be adopted for the forementioned reason

PS I understand that the asian firmware has alot of perks (I personally flashed korean firmwares on other samsung devices and it was awesome) but in this case we have to look at the bigger picture here.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Thank you for patiently replying.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepittbull:
LOL.... @Bongski, please note that I don't have issues when people ask pertinent questions like the one you asked here. It's when people ask "how do I xxx" or things that's been answered a dozen times "like why can't Nova/Asphalt" work on Overcome Gingerbread... when it's been dealt with a thousand times over, that it gets me in a grumpy mood. And it's usually on release days that it tends to happens. Yeah... PMS! :D

But please do not hesitate to ask if you've got a pertinent question there. How do you know it's pertinent? Someone from the team will usually answer! :D BTW, I think I'm gonna repost this question on our thread before someone else asked it there... just so that people will know the rationale.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt_81:
Excuse my noobness, but Titanium Backup is able to backup locales. I restored a German locale in Dip7 DXJPE ROM even though German is not included in this ROM. Also there are Apps with which one can custamize locales and which also ship with a lot of locales (at least thats what the market description sais).

Couldn't one just use one of the aforementioned ways to integrate more locales in asian based ROMs? I ask because there are some minor things which work in Dip7's DXJPE ROM by default but not in Overcome, like playing 1080p flash videos in browser smoothly and having apps show up in battery usage statistics. I don't think this is just due to Dip7's modding (maybe I'm wrong).

These are just minor things and I'm overall very happy with the Overcome experience, but as bongski, I also think using the latest samsung source as basis for OC ROMs definately has advantages.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastbob67:
can anyone tell me how to sync my contacts using cm7 and also my gmail and talk app if available
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
You need to download and flash the latest gapps which can be found in the cm7 thread.

After its flashed through cw, go to setting -> accounts and sync -> add account and add your Google account. Your contacts should automatically sync after you log in.

[Xoom Accessories] Chubby_Skunk:
I was looking for a good portfolio case for my XOOM. I was looking for something like the iPad cases where they are portfolio style and is made of soft material so my xoom doesn't get scratched up...

any ideas?
[Xoom Accessories] CC Lemon:
I just ordered my xoom so I'm waiting for it to ship before I order a case, but I'm planning on getting this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Leath...3ZW6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1310795929&sr=8-6

I saw it mentioned in another thread and it seems like all of the Ayl cases get pretty great reviews. The exterior is leather and the interior is microfiber so it shouldn't scratch. Plus, at only $10 it's much more affordable than some other cases out there.
[Xoom Accessories] Chubby_Skunk:
Wow! Nice. 10 reviews and all rated it 5 stars. I'm going to order one right now!

Thanks a bunch.
[Xoom Accessories] CC Lemon:
Np... Hope I didn't point you in the wrong direction, but based on the reviews, it seems like it should be pretty good. Be sure to post a review or something when you get it because you'll probably get it before I order mine lol.
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
i dont understand you people. that's exactly the same as the leather moto folio.
[Xoom Accessories] Esoth:
Sure, the design is based on the leather moto folio, but the price is probably the key point here.
[Xoom Accessories] lpasq:
Warning...if it is just like the Moto leather folio, the channels cut for viewing angles may be too shallow for some as the Xoom has a tendency to collapse at steep angles. Maybe you will not have the problem. Just saying.

...zoom posted...
[Xoom Accessories] Chubby_Skunk:
Yeah but the Motorola one is $39.99........
[Xoom Accessories] Chubby_Skunk:
Yeah when I get it. I'll post something about it under the Accessories section.
[Xoom Accessories] CC Lemon:
It's the same basic concept with a fair amount of key differences...

-fasteners have a different design

-inside is line with microfiber to prevent scratches (which is a common complaint for the moto)

-exterior is all leather, including fasteners

-as mentioned, lower price. Even if everything was the exact same, you get it for 1/3 the price.

Based on the reviews, it's the same idea with better execution.
[Xoom Accessories] musashiken:
I am one of the reviewers on Amazon. It's a fantastic case and for 10 bucks, come on it's a no brainer. I'd definitely recommend this over all the existing leather cases out there now. And who knows when this discounted price ends, its original price is more like 30 bucks.

It stays in the angles without budging, but I admit that because the surface is microfiber suede it may be slippery if you jab hard at the top of the xoom. There is no problem if you type at the bottom half of the screen. And normal presses and swipes on the screen are ok. Just don't jab hard repeatedly at the top 1/3 of the screen and you should be fine.
[Xoom Accessories] aaksheytalwar:
Targus cases are great quality, at least my P1000 Galaxy Tab one genuine leather was perfect.

The Xoom one sells for like $45+ shipping etc at Amazon. They are really good I think. Worth the price.
[Xoom Accessories] CC Lemon:
I guess I'm an idiot for waiting... the ayl case is now $5 more than before. Not a whole lot, but still wasted money from waiting. Oh well. I just placed my order and I'll be sure to give a review or contribute to another thread on the case once I receive mine.

I should be getting my xoom tomorrow, so I'll have time without a case to make me appreciate having a case even more.
[Xoom Accessories] Dual_Everything:
I got one of these from ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Folio-Leather-C...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2a0fc629f8

$10 with free shipping. Works great.
[Xoom Accessories] nufc2008:
Care to give a review about the $10 folio...
[Xoom Accessories] guitarguy:
I just have a quick question about the AYL case, is the closure magnetic? I can't seem to find any confirmation that it is (looks like it in the pics), or in the reviews.

Thanks.
[Xoom Accessories] musashiken:
It is not magnetic. But the cover closes very tightly onto the xoom, so there are no worries about the cover flipping out on its own. You have to shut the cover with some force actually, but the suede inner lining will not scratch it.
[Xoom Accessories] guitarguy:
Hey, thanks for the quick reply! So I guess it's just like a clip that goes over the top of the device? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't velcro, I hate that crap, lol!

Just ordered, but unfortunately it seems like they are out of stock for the moment... Gonna have to wait a few weeks it seems...
[Xoom Accessories] ilovethebeach:
I bought the ZooGue case. I really like it. The onlu thing wrong was that it has a funny smell. Took care of that with vinegar and water and now the smell is gone. The stand is adjustable because the bottom was flat and there is velcro to adjust the view.
[Xoom Accessories] sexytabitha:
yes if you don't like supporting Real US Sellers and tanking our economy further. i realize buying american products is impossible but the few dollars more to buy from american sellers is a small price to pay to support our country.

i recently picked up the kevikev carbon fiber leather case. I like it a lot I more than the moto portfolio. Plus Kevin is cool to deal with. http://kevikev.com/Motorola-XOOM-Carbon-Fiber-Leather-Multi-View-Case-Folio-Stand-CFXOOM.htm
[Xoom Accessories] silent_killa:
I bought the moto case and i'm really concerned that those plastic tabs could end up scratching my xoom :(

Looking at either to zoogue or kevikev as a replacment but torn between the two atm.

The kevikev seems to have slightly less bulk but the zoogue appears more functional but a higher price tag.....
[Xoom Accessories] CC Lemon:
I got my AYL case in and love it. It's a quality product and seems to be on par with a lot of the other options. Considering the price, I can't imagine there being a much better choice. At first I thought the grooves were a bit too shallow, but it's really not that bad once I used it a little more (this is my first case of this kind). The entire case is lined so it wont scratch the xoom anywhere it connects.

My packaging also included a sheet that offered a free stylus if I posted a review on amazon. That was an offer that seemed silly to pass up, so I now also have the AYL stylus that has the headphone jack connection. It performs how you'd expect a stylus to work. The headphone jack connector is actually perfect with the case because the "latch" of the case goes right over the plug and provides even more security for keeping the stylus safe when not in use.

I'd definitely recommend AYL to people. It seems like all of their products are well designed and made with a reasonable price.
[Xoom Accessories] ddcc:
I'll second the AYL case. Not only is really good value (~$20), but the material is high quality as well. They also offered a refund of the full purchase price for an Amazon review, and mentioned that their next shipment will have cutouts for the charging/HDMI/USB ports on the bottom when the case is closed.
[Xoom Accessories] johnny0911:
hay guys, I'm not here to play the devils advocate but as sucky as the Moto case is, it will not scratch your xoom. I have had the Moto case for months and the marks you see on the side are from the plastic. Just take a damp cloth and wipe it off. I also am very dissatisfied with the design and price of this crappy case.

Ive laid my matte back cover protector over the screen when I took it off. It make the screen look horrible, I do not suggest doing it.
[HTC Sensation] aniketsharma9865:
Yeah...i have it on right now...it is really horrible...looks like it is 360*480...just waiting for a clear one to come in market...it not available in my city...:-(
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Thanks guys, looks like I won't be using the ones that I ordered lol.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
Matte screen protector typically changes the screen in two ways. If the matte coating is too thin, it creates a lot of sparklings especially with white background, and would give more pixelations to the images. On the other hand, protector with thicker matte coating create less sparklings, but may blur the screen considerably.

Cheap and brandless matte screen protectors from eBay usually belong to the first category from my experience. Bigger brands are usually more consistent with their offerings for different phones/tablets. I like SGP's matte screen protectors, as I think they have strike a right balance of sparkling and bluriness. I have been using them on both my iPad and iPad2, and they were pretty consistent. They don't seem to offer a matte version of the screen protector for the Sensation yet, but I would keep and eye on their website if I were you.
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
When I ordered the matte full skin from Phantom Skinz it came with both a matte and a clear screen protector. Not sure if this is normal or not...
[Nook Color General] B_Moriarty:
Forgive me if this is ignorant but does the CM release for encore really need to come packaged with the phone, camera, texting etc apps even thpigh its not a phone? I understand you can remove them through ADB so my question is, why is it part of the release in the first place? Also, (all of this is judt out of curiosoty) after looking at the nightly changelog, why are nightlies with changes that dont apply to the NC released as a NC nightly???

Thanks,

Moriarty
[Nook Color General] phez:
Moriarty, I have to agree. It looks like bloat-ware and when you see the phone icon in the launcher I was all confused at first being only a nook owner for 1 week. After looking around, I found Phiremod faster than CM7, but to be honest, being a noob, i havent found a singly package that comes in a .img file that is "awesome" for the nookcolor.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I highly doubt Phiremod is faster than CM7 considering it's a themed CM7 with a few preinstalled apps....
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
They are there, because they allow us to see most of the apps on the market. As it is, i am not sure why so many people fuss over these apps; they don't effect us, use battery, etc.

And Phriemod.... pff... all Phridemod was (since it isn't really active anymore) is just a CM7 with a theme. If it were faster, it was luck...
[Nook Color General] SCrid2000:
Words of wisdom lol. You need those to get all the market apps to show.

Maybe someone could write up a quick app to remove them though, I can't myself (and don't care to learn your something like that) but I'm sure it wouldn't be to difficult.
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
You can remove them with Titanium Backup (but they will reappear if you flash a new ROM).
[Nook Color General] SCrid2000:
What I meant was an app that would delete them all with just one click ;) but yes, Titanium is great for that job. Root Explorer can do it too.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I believe that is because CM7 is one large development project that attempts to push Gingerbread to the limits. The various tablet/phone modders then take it and tweak it to run smoothly on the unit (Nook). If they stripped out all the camera, phone, etc apps, they would have to spend time doing that each time the main CM7 was updated. In addition, some of these apps at some point actually might work with the Nook, such as the camera app when, when additional hardware is found such as web cams, microphones, etc.

Having said that, it would probably make a lot of sense to strip them all out when a stable release is posted so that people who have no need can install that release and others can continue with the nightlies.
[Nook Color General] TCAndroid:
I know we're in Nook Color subforum, and it's implied that that's the device we're talking about, but that should be pointed out since the Nook Color isn't the only device running CyanogenMod.

I have a feeling this will always be an end user activity, however, because including the apps apparently opens up apps in the market you wouldn't otherwise see. I would think the people releasing the Mod would lean towards giving you all the options they can get away with, and leaving it up to you to close whatever doors you don't want to walk through.

Until someone makes, (or makes known an existing) market fooling application that will enable the apps you wouldn't see without having the .apks installed.
[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
A really quick "fix" is to use something like Launcher Pro. I have had it installed since basically day one, and I have used it to hide those applications. Seriously, until this thread, I really did forget they are even installed.

I have hidden:

Camera

Car Home

Email

Latitude

Messaging

Phone

Sound Recorder

Voice Dialer
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Yeah, this.. Plus a bunch of other apps that insist on having launchers, like some Live Wallpapers, widgets, etc.. Because users are idiots and give 1 star if they can't "open" a Market download.
[Nook Color General] phez:
Why do you knock phiremod that much? Is it really that bad and not worth considering? I have used it and thought it was cleaner than CM7 but there are other releases that I wouldn't mind trying like muiu something similar to that name.
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
It's just CM7 with some theme. Not like some great development like DM's and DB's Honeycomb, CyanogenMod's CM7, etc. Plus, it's basically been abandoned.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Because it has caused such confusion for devs here, and it is just silly. People looked at it like it was a different rom, when it was nothing more than a few nightlies that got themed. There is no actual work on the rom.. its all cosmetic. Even worse, is because of the delay in "releases", it really fell behind while CM7 was gaining steam (to the point where they were even using different kernels).

Perhaps i am too.... "mean", but i just call it like i see it at times. I apologize for urking some people; its just the way I am. I think people have a much better experience using CM7 and theming it as they want, rather than the pre-made stuff.
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
FWIW, I'm not a big fan of the rom either. I don't like it when folks replace all strings matching "CyanogenMod" with their custom name, slap on a different theme and bundle a few apps available in the market and then ask for donations.

I'm not going to try to stop anyone from doing it and I'm not going to get upset about it but I don't necessarily like it.
[Nook Color General] RASTAVIPER:
Since Phiremod himshelf decided to move away from this forum for his own reasons, I dont think its nice to listen only one side on this matter.

Anyway, its a matter of free decision.If U like Phiremod and its look, go with it.Or if U like other Roms, free to go.
