I'm gonna get a macbook pro, keep in mind i will be selling my desktop pc and the mac will be my main device,i'll take it to the institute, etc i'm going start a graphic design course soon and naturally i will be usiong, corel, photoshop, and i suppose a little of video editing .

I plan on getting the 15" model, the 13" is a little small for my taste and the 17" model is off the budget and also i think it enters desktop territory ( is too big for a laptop) .

I've got a couple of doubts:

1.AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5 vs AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5 ? i know 1 gb sounds a lot better, but ive been told it only matters if im going to play videogames at large resolutions aka 1920x 1200

2.750GB 5400-rpm hdd vs 500GB 7200 rpm hdd , i already have an external 2 tb hard drive so i might be able to sacrifice the extra 250 gb for the increased speed, but does the 7200 hdd makes the mac run considerably hotter?

3.Choosing the 1680x1050 display over the standard 1440x900 is a no brainer, i wish there was a 1920x 1200 display instead :p but how is the Antiglare Widescreen Display worth the extra 150 $ ? how do they achieve the antiglare? won't the colors look dull or over satured?
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
I wish i could give you some good answers, but that's not the case, but i would go for the one with 1GB GDDR5, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD and of course the 1680x1050 display.

Regarding the GPU, won't it be better with the 1GB if you're going to edit videos?
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
1) 256 mb should be fine if you're not gaming :)

2) 7200 rpm will be faster and seeing as you have the external you may aswell, but it could be louder and it will not get too hot AFAIK

3) better display obv :p antiglare doesn't make image bad and it. Looks nice but imo its not wow like the glossy, professionals seem to prefer matte, maybe go down to the nearest apple store?
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Mainly CPU is used.. but some software can be aided by gpu.. however I'm not sure. If you'll notice much difference also op.. just checking are you going for quad i7, if not.. I'd reccomed more than the gpu
[Off-topic] Chad_Petree:
Wow like the glossy? what do you mean? is the gloosy more saturated?
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
It looks more vibrant imo.. and just stands out, :D
[Off-topic] Chad_Petree:
Yup, im going for the quad core i7 @ 2.2 GHz , the offer a quad core i7 @ 2.3 GHz for 250 $ extra dollars :/ just for 0.1 ghz? that's a steal, they dont even specifiy what cpus they're selling

I had forgotten sometimes the cpu switches to the gpu to render websites and play hd videos , i'll keep that in mind

Searching online, looks there's a lot of divided opinions in the glossy vs matte subject, gonna have to check it out in person, naturally

Hello, all

I just flashed my 1 week old Acer A500 with a light rom. Now, I am trying to install all the apps I like.

One of my favorite apps is LumiRead. I can't find it anywhere in the market. So, I think this is a stock app for acer. I know there are other readers out there. However, I read LOTS of text files in foreign languages. I tried all different kinds of readers the whole morning. I just couldn't find one with 2 page view, easily change font size, and large book cover at the main page.

For you smart ROM developers, is it possible to extract this LumiRead from the stock ROM. If I don't have LumiRead, I may have to go back to the stock ROM. I don't want that, because it is just slloooooow.

Thanks everyone!!

[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
You have root correct?

If so, try copying both files to system/app reboot, and if necessary reinstall ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] cicici1234:
Hum, I assume it is rooted, because it is a custom ROM. This is the ROM I installed, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1188253.

I tried to use gingerbreak to root it, but it just sitting there, loading...

I tried to copy the lumi files to system/root. it says it failed to copy. :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Umm it was system/app, not root. Set root explorer to r/w before pasting.

Over and out. ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
I was looking for LumiRead also, as I had a bunch of books in it when I changed roms. However, after having a hard time finding it I downloaded Aldiko, which I used once before. It's a great alternative and it's more logical to use. Maybe try that one out, too - you might like it.

Hi,

This is my first time flashing a custom rom onto my Optimus 2X. I have decided on the latest Miui as it seems to be fast, stable and looks awesome.

I was hoping some lovely people could give me some advice to help my first flash go well.

I have created a backup through CWR of my current stock ROM. I have also backed up all my apps through titanium backup.

I was wondering what the best baseband and RIL is best suited to the Miui ROMs? And also do I need to covert to ext4 or will be ROM do this for me?

Once iv done this is there anything else I should do to prepare my phone for Miui?

Thank you for any advice you can give me!!

Sedge.
[LG Optimus 2x] blakki73:
I usually flash a stock Rom via smarflash in order to have a cleaner phone. You also have to calibrate your battery after changing Rom, trough some specific apps that you can find easly gratis on the market. For the bb i have never had problems on MIUI, they all worked for me.

[LG Optimus 2x] kolo2x:
I'm on the latest MIUI too on BB725. Works fine here. I'm thinking MIUI supports ext3 and ext4 partitions and don't make changes to what you already have. I've been jumping through roms and don't see anything that says MIUI is converting my partitions.

MIUI's base is cm7 so you might want to consider running the latest cm7 stable (or nightly if you feel adventurous) for o2x.

I'm still a bit biased on stock roms since they're release from the vendors so they'd likely get all the features you want due to closed-sourced 3rd party drivers. There are a lot of good roms based on stock souce here http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002. Consider giving em a spin.

If you're just after the MIUI look, check these launchers:

[LG Optimus 2x] Fulwood Sedge:
I have installed CM 7.1 and it all seems fine apart from my battery icon is saying i have a almost full battery when i know when i started the flash it was around 30%.

Shall I let the battery run all the way down and then charge to full and then re calibrate my battery. Will this solve my problem?

The touch wiz screen lock on my phone stopped working as well as the pattern/pin/password screen locks. I've tried changing different timeout settings to no avail. It was working fine for a few days and randomly stopped.

/sdcard/busybox

How do I uninstall the extra installations and which should I uninstall?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
/system/xbin/busybox is the only real installation.

/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard are the EXACT same location....on your internal sdcard.

highly doubtful its an actual installation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] retnuh:
Busybox Installer is telling me I have multiple installations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
rename /sdcard/busybox to /sdcard/notbusybox

see if it still says it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Yeah, I got the same error message when I tried to use Busybox installer after immediately rooting my SGSII (stock root) using jivy's Method 1 (Odin + SuperOneClick).

However, I haven't really bothered to plug my SGSII and ADB into it to see if there's anything's corrupt. Looking at Titanium Backup PRO, everything seems to be fine (says I have BusyBox 1.18.4 installed).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] retnuh:
Thanks Pirateghost. One of my apps needed to have BusyBox and checked for it. It stated that BusyBox was correctly installed; so, I guess I will leave things as they are.
[HTC Sensation] Marioag_0412:
Hey guys, I'm in need of some advice regarding a Radioshack extended warranty that i bought for my Sensation. I just dropped my phone today and the screen now has a horrifying crack along the top, but fortunately my extended warranty covers any sort of physical damages. My phone, however, is S-off'ed, and i have CM7 installed, which obviously violates the original T-mobile warranty. I was wondering if you guys think I would have to revert back to S-ON in order to have it fixed under the Radioshack warranty? Does anyone know if they would check for that or if they would simply repair it, or even just order a new one? Any advise, especially from Radioshack employees/anyone who's dealt with their warranties would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
This is just my IMHO, but I don't think they are going to repair you phone, more like replace. And if they are replacing I'd just as soon expect them to replace the physical phone regardless if you voided the software/firmware warranty. But Radioshack could screw you over, and that wouldn't shock me either.
[HTC Sensation] Marioag_0412:
Thanks for the reply, and yeah, that's what I was thinking. Hopefully they don't screw me over though because I've been doing some reading and it seems that their extended warranty services have received very poor ratings.. Does anyone know if HTC or T-Mobile do repairs, and if so how much they might charge?

Hi,

1st, thanks to coolexe for these ROMs!

I'm on Cool3D RM v3 w/ kernel 0.8c cfs havs, all from cooldevs.com site.

1. I initially had an almost unusable GUI: laggy & choppy. Then i noticed the need to run the EXT4 part. alignment tool... i formatted all parts, aligned, cleared dalvik & reinstalled. Now it's fast and snappy ;)

2. Open issues:

- long press power button doesn't popup the reboot/etc menu

- SD card doesn't auto-mount @ boot time

- wallpapers do not slide sideways with home screens

- HTC Hub never connecting

- rare Market crash

- pressing search button from home screen does nothing

- standard keyboard voice input button (ASR function) does not connect to Internet for speech recognition.

Is there any tricks i can try for these? :(

Plus the known:

- profiles/skins/HTC wallpapers/lockscreens show empty in panel mode, while are visible in grid mode (known issue)

Thanks!

Well I did it. Dropped my phone last week. Spiderweb cracks all over the screen :(

So I made an Asurian claim.

As a few may remember, I had a heck of a time getting a good one. This one was my fifth. I have been super happy with it. It has been performing perfectly.

My question is, How are people liking their replacements? Any screen bleed? Reboots? Issues?

If you've had issues, how has Assurion been to deal with? After having a near about perfect one, I don't think I can abide a bad one.

It'll be here tomorrow, so I'll know soon enough what I'm getting.

Just curious what others have experienced....

What is the deductible you have to pay? I think it is $80.00, is this correct? LG will replace the entire front of the phone with digitizer for less than that. I would go with the LG repair route rather than take the chance on another phone.

I believe my deductible was $130.00. Expect a refurbished phone. No issues with it so far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
You are correct, $130.00 total. I expect a refurbed one. The one I had was a refurb and was perfect except for a scratch in the screen which drove me nuts until I realized the phone worked perfectly.....

It's arriving as I type.......oooooh!.....it looks like a new box......hold on I'm opening the box. Bear with me a sec........

I'm back. If this is refurbed, I'll eat my hat.

I'll post later with my impressions, but it does look new. Not a mark on it......even the battery prongs look shiny and new. I'm stoked.:D

When i was trying to boot into recovery mode it failed and it gave a superuser error. At this moment i had leedroid rom evo 3d gsm that is s-off. When i still had stock rom i never had this error but it seems like it was there all the time with the leedroid rom. Well so i was trying to boot into recovery. Tried it with power button and volume down button at same time, but this was failing. So i did it with rom manager. I used rom manager before when i installed leedroids rom. But now it didnt boot into recovery. I tried installing superuser again but it didnt seem to make any difference. with rootchecker i checked if i had root acces but it seemed i lost root acces :S. after retrying a couple of times my phone didnt boot back to the leedroid rom. I was trying a lot of things, with and without sd and sim. After about 20 reboots i tried power and volume down to go to bootloader and know it loaded. At bootloader start it loads some things and i saw no image blalbla dont really know what it meant. I tried to go to recovery but it wont boot, i get a white screen with htc and wont load anything. I tried all other options in bootloader too, to check if anything works but even a factory reset failed.

For me it looked like somehow my rom is f*cked and now i cant go to recovery mode somehow. I have rom on my sd so if i could go to recovery i could still flash. Does anyone know how i still might get to recovery mode or is there another way to still flash another rom. Maybe there are some people who can tell me more about leedroids rom, are there more people who got trouble with root acces?

anyone who might be able to help plz let me know, im so frustrated right now because i cant use my phone, i even need to think about a way to wake me up this morning because i always used my phone for alarm
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
That is a very easy to fix problem. First, download Clockworkmod recovery for your device (evo 3D GSM) or another recovery.

CWM 5.2.0 Shooteru: http://www.mediafire.com/?5kdr0c7xux2c64p

After download/finding the recovery, rename it to PG86DIAG. (or whatever it tries to scan for in bootloader. If its 2 things, it is the bottom one)

Place the file on your SD card somehow. (in your case you would need to take out the SD card and put it in another phone/adapter)

Boot into bootloader with volume down + power and it should scan for the file. When it asks if you want to do the update, press yes. After the recovery is installed, press power to reboot.

Do a battery pull while you are on the splash screen. Reboot back into bootloader with vol down + power and click on recovery. Wipe everything and flash the rom again. Reboot and you should be able to load the ROM with root and everything.
[HTC EVO 3D] stonyhawk:
thx, im so happy to here your solution. Know lets search for my sd adapter, i know its somewhere :D. I will let you know later if it has worked
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
You're welcome! I'll be watching the thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] stonyhawk:
Oke i did what you said but when i boot into bootloader nothing has changed. It doesnt ask if i want to update anything. And if i go to recovery and try to boot it keeps hanging at the white screen with htc

btw, you said this:after download/finding the recovery, rename it to PG86DIAG. (or whatever it tries to scan for in bootloader.

Do you mean it might be other name i have to make it? How do i know this?
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
It is probably a different name.

When you boot into bootloader, it scans for 2 files and says not found, right?

The second file it scans for is the one you want to rename it to.
[HTC EVO 3D] stonyhawk:
hmke, ye it scans for files but its going fast so cant see it very well. I see about 5 things get scanned

oke first thing it scanned is called PG86DIAG.zip, 2nd is PG86DIAG.nbh, 3th is PG86IMG.zip, 4th is PG86IMG.nbh, 5th is PG86IMG.tar, 6th is PG86IMG.aes, 7th is PG86IMG.enc

All this things are scanned and then it says no image
[HTC EVO 3D] 1107963:
From what I can read if you lost root then you are s-on on the bootloader right? if so installing recovery through bootloader wont work... check if you have S-on or S-off on bootloader if you have s-on you will need to use a official update to restore your phone...
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Do PG86IMG. Also, if it says S-On at the top of the bootloader, you will need to get S-Off with revolutionary again.
[HTC EVO 3D] stonyhawk:
No im still s-off, but when my phone was less ****ed as it is now and i could still boot normaly, i already had some strange things with leedroid rom. superuser never seems to be working well. i couldnt give root acces, it gave an error when i try. even through root chekker it says no root, but i thought that might have something to do with superuser.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Instead of renaming to PG86DIAG, rename to PG86IMG and see if that works.
[HTC EVO 3D] stonyhawk:
do you mean name the file PG86IMG and not PG86DIAG?

lol your answer came faster :D

Oke still no difference, but it is chekking for a .zip file right? Im not sure if its .zip right now, is this the reason why its failing?

You are going to need to revert back to stock

I had the same problem a month back and was able to fix it.

Also don't worry if you can still get to the boot loader its fixable.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
So it acts as if there is no .zip at all? Like it says "No image found"?

Double check if its a zip and the file is named properly. If it doesn't recognize it, there is a problem with your SD card/bootloader.
[HTC EVO 3D] stonyhawk:
Oke when i put the .zip in a clockworkmod folder it didnt see it but now it shows parsing behind the PG86DIAG.zip and the PG86DIAG.img says no image or wrong image. All other thing still say no image

I tried the .zip you uploaded and now it could load the image :D, trying to flash now
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
I see what you're doing wrong. Don't put the zip in a clockworckmod folder. Put it on the root of your sd card.

(just directly on the sd card)
[HTC EVO 3D] Eaglesfreak:
Good catch on that one.

If you don't put it directly on the root of your sd card then the boot loader will not be able to find the zip and flash it.
[HTC EVO 3D] stonyhawk:
Oke thx, i finally booted into recovery :D. I first had to delete the .zip again because it was trying to update again when i didnt. Im so happy now :D, couldnt done this without your help so i will push the thx button few times^^

After sleeping i tried it again but it still didnt boot into recovery. I can remember in recovery it was saying something like couldnt mount if i remembered well.
