[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
your apps should be restored by google

but just in case, use titanium backup or my backup. I personally prefer my backup to backup my sms/mms, apps and settings because its quicker when you restore.

I use titanium backup to backup and restore system apps.

Oh yeah you shouldn't try to backup your settings from your stock and restore it when you flash VU, they're different OS so might cause problems. BUT it's useful when you flash new updates.

Other than VU, you might want to try TDJ's Darkside if you want to test out sense 3.5. However, i might go back to virtuous once they release a final build for sense 3.5

happy flashing
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakecharmed:
I actually didn't have any settings to back up because I haven't been using the phone as my primary phone since I bought it, but I backed up the stock Froyo ROM and flashed to VU 2.39 two nights ago. Everything appears to be running well. I reinstalled Swype 3.7 from the stock Gingerbread ROM and I still need to reinstall Genius with Button Shortcut.

I don't really like the trouble of going back and forth between ROMs, so thankfully, I'm quite pleased with VU and Sense 3.0. The rest is just customization at this point. I may eventually take a look at Virtuous Trentacinque after it goes gold, but I didn't want to wait around for it nor run a beta ROM on what will soon become my main phone. I have no problem with flashing files and making tweaks all day, but it gets old after a while and I'd rather just use the equipment instead.

So far, battery life on VU seems to be pretty good and is much better than stock. I'm enjoying the new ROM so far as well as finally getting to use the phone rather than just backing up files and testing features.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjpowles:
Morning all

Hopefully someone may be able to help on this little niggle I am having with my SGSII.

My new white SGSII arrived yesterday, running the UK Vodafone firmware, which was 2.3.5 KI3. Seemed on the whole quite good, but had quite a few VF apps etc, and after reading the thread on how good KI4 is, I decided to flash that, which has now been done.

One thing I really liked on the VF firmware was in the notification bar, it would give a number of how many emails etc were unread. On KI4, this isn't appearing anymore, instead I just see the standard mail notification, but no numbers of how many are unread.

Not a huge issue, but as I said a little niggle I would like to sort out of poss, as I really liked this feature in the VF firmware, and am surprised it isn't in KI4.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caffeineighted:
I just noticed the Galaxy Nexus' General forum is labeled as 1337.

As in forumdisplay.php?f=1337

It's fate. I'm pumped. You're pumped. We're all pumped for Ice Cream. :D

But that's not my point...

I don't know about the majority of you guys, but I'm coming from a long period of mobile confusion. As you can see in my signature here, I started smartphones with the iPhone 2G and stuck to it out of a bit of "distortion field" or "fanboyism" for quite some time.

This past couple of years though, either the field has weakened, or I've built up a tolerance for it. I switched from iOS to Android and back again over and over in an attempt to ground myself somewhere, but in the end I always found myself back to old reliable, iOS.

The reason it was old reliable for me was the WYSIWYG-ness of it. Not much fluff; The "it just works" crap in action. I'd use Android and just fall in love with it all over again, but before I knew it I was frustrated with Force Closings and skins like Sense and MotoBlur. It would drive me away as quickly as it drew me in. Change is change.

Now though, we have a beautiful light at the end of a very obnoxious tunnel for me. I'm absolutely thrilled, but... as they say on the Jersey Shore... lesbihonest.

I feel like I'll go back to iOS. Not at least for a year or so, and not out of Android being sub-par! Don't get me wrong. I just think of it this way. If you invest in both ecosystems the way I have, you can jump back and forth very easily.

The way the iPhones work has seemingly been set in stone: One generational upgrade every 2 years with a minor speed-bump in between.

Android also has a clear manner of evolution: All participating manufacturers put out a new device every time the technology takes a step. It's like a never-ending series of -like speed-bumps when compared to iPhone, except we get the benefit of different and ever-evolving chasis.

If we look at Nexus devices only, which I feel are made to lead the charge and tell the other manufacturers, "Here, this is your new bar. Meet it!" then I like to think of Nexus devices as such. They're the bar that gets set every once in a while to keep everyone on track and keep everyone innovating.

One could conclude, given the way of things, that if you are like me and go through phases of needing stability and stability, no muss or fuss and phases of needing to tinker and customize, great fun mussing and fussing; I think this is perfect.

Apple releases their numerical release, new generation phone and it's the next big thing. Then it gets long in the tooth and they release a speedbump. Not good enough for bleeding edge though, so what's the hotness on Android. And so on.

Anyone think this might be their way of dealing with but-I-need-new-hotness syndrome?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
LOL :D

Galaxy Nexus is the 1337 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azdian:
lol be leet and get a galaxy nexus :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caffeineighted:
^^^ Really well said.

I agree about the strides Google is making to change the minds of Android users who have been burned by odd experiences in the past. They definitely are making a great effort with ICS.

In the end, as I said, I think there may be others like us who have fallen into this pattern now. We stay on top of what's great and know how to live within either ecosystem. We prefer one or the other, but have the need for greatness and will go after it every 6 months.

What a wild web we weave. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLoNe1:
Open the box of your new iPhone 4S, turn it on and you have a great looking & working mobile OS.

Open the box of your new Android phone, turn it on, learn how to Root & flash, select a powerful, battery saving KERNEL, select a great, customized ROM, select a beautiful THEME, flash them all and you have an AMAZING looking & working mobile OS.

Yes, no-one will lie to you, there is more effort needed for Android; but for that little amount of effort, the results are astounding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Wrong.

I got my Nexus S, turned it on, and use it without rooting nor ROM changing.

It works perfect till now.

What you have described is "option" ... Something that does not exist on iOS.

Thats different :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samagon:
Thoughtful thread.

I started my smartphone journey with winmo back in the 5.0 days, talk about customizing to make it work. Random app stores everywhere. Just about the only thing that was great from stock was the T-9 dialer. It was so easy and quick. Stupid stylus always getting lost. Steve had that right.

Next for me was a 3g iPhone. Unboxed and, to coin a phrase "it just worked ". But that was it. An app tray. After being used to unlocking the phone and seeing the weather, texts, events, everything, just at a glance, it was a huge adjustment. And a shock. No t9 dialer? No copy paste? I used it for about 3 months, then finally got frustrated with typing something, receiving a call, and all I had done was completely gone. I just about threw the phone away.

Switched back to winmo, then apple released a fix for the copy paste, and lost data. Switched back.

Still being mostly unhappy with the user experience, my friends talked me into the n1. Didn't take long for me to fall into a state of realization that this was the perfect mix of the frustration of winmo configuration

And the blandness of apple. And all without root!

So yeah, I've been running around with a n1 for damn near 2 years, unrooted, and. Damn proud of it.

Both ios and Android have their place, but I think Android is more appealing, and so do about 50% plus of smartphone users.

Enjoy your experience, whichever it is, but don't expect me to change my mind any time soon, I won't expect you to change yours
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] booyakasha:
This is, I think, the best part about owning and using an Android powered device. It's exciting, you learn, you become a part of a community and you seek out those people when you mess up (which everyone inevitably does). I can almost guarantee that my Nexus S is different than yours in some way, shape or form. That's whats great about Android, I make the phone conform to me, not the other way around.

Having said that, I get the mass appeal of iOS and I feel with the overhaul of notifications it is finally to a position that I am able to adopt. Additionally, I think iPhones are the best feeling devices (hardware wise) and I was ready to vote with my wallet had the iPhone 5 been announced with what I feel are must have specs (NFC, 4G, legitimate screen size, etc).

Nexus Prime (way better sounding than Galaxy Nexus) will do for now until I get a look at the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 next year :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotchy:
Since this threads about how 1337 android is ill give my experience of ios and why im changing :D

3 years with apple.. happy with it tbh, does everything i want.. web browses and stuff... but it still looks and does the same as it did 3 years ago.. except a new siri.. with my scottish accent couldnt understand me anyway lol

its finally made me want to change! Tbh its the brand name... apple iphone. Everyone knows of them, the cost etc and goes ohh an iphone. It trapped me, had me confused, an apple fanboy who would have nothing said against it! I refused to believe other phones out there done the same! Now I finally agree there are better newer things out there, sure maybe come iphone8 when the ios actually changes and does something neat ill change again, but i owe this change down to ice cream sandwich and its pure 1337ness! Google shall rule the world one day... google banks, google airline.. google world.. but untill then ill play on my new nexus..

nokia 3310 -> Iphone 3gs -> Galaxy nexus :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
By that time, iphone8 will have stolen every Android 4.0 feature and have tried to pass it on as their own.

By that time, I predict Android 6.0, which will, again, be leaps and bounds above the rotten apple hive!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
As much as I personally dislike the iphones, I dislike how some put them down like they're nothing.

Hate Apple or not, you gotta give them their slice of the pie. Did the iphone revolutionize smartphones? Of course it did! Is it so damn original and untouchable? Hell no!

iPhones/iOS are premium quality handsets, I still recommend them to family members and friends based on their tech level. But I had iphones before, customized what can be customized about them. They're good, but I don't know.. they lack this "interaction" between the user and the phone Android OS gives you.

When I use an Android phone, I feel like my phone is my "reliable assistant", not just a shiny phone.

I Also highly disagree with the statement Android phones must be customized first to be usable. They can be used just as casual as iphones, just out-of-the-box and still have better practicality. Going on at XDA and similar websites to customize Android is wanting more for the most part.

A lot of us find joy, not frustration, when we go fix and customize things in our Android phones. It's a part of Android OS being "chess".

iPhones/iOS is "checkers", Android OS is "chess".

I recently switched from Sprint to Tmobile, both carriers version of the SGS2, and noticed a startling difference in graphics performance between the two versions, most easily witnessed whilst playing the game Doodle Jump. Mind you this is not a graphics intense game, but the Tmo version of this phone just cannot handle it. My gf has the same exact phone and gets the same results. Is the graphics capabilities with the snapdragon processors that much worse vs the original processors used in all other variants of the SGS2??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bighulk666:
Umm...i have DJ installed now to see what your complaining about. I see ZERO lag. The graphics are pixelated, I can only assume it's because of the MASSIVE screen and the program not being optimized for it.

Pixilated graphics is just the start...once you get going the jitteryness and choppyness is overwhelming. Screen size would be an excuse....if the Sprint version had the same issues, which it does not, it plays the game flawlessly, and has the same 4.52" screen.
