[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfragkos:
I'm confused.

Some people say stock ICS makes the phone feel A LOT smoother while others say it only makes a minor difference...

As for me, with stock gingerbread 2.3.6 the phone feels smooth enough (if I don't use a live wallpaper) but the overall experience in responsiveness is way behind iOS and my old iphone 4. Especially most of 3rd party apps completely lack animations compared to iOS, like the facebook app for example. Unnecessary effects you'd say but do make the interaction with your device more pleasant.

And another thing, stay away from the Samsung built-in email client and use the gmail one instead. It's laggy as hell. When I try to simply select and delete a mere message, the phone and the tactile feedback become almost unresponsive.

I wouldn't go back to Apple but to be fair, healthy criticism (based on facts and extensive usage) for every product should be acceptable. Nothing is perfect.

I did a little googling and found a site called ROM kitchen. So is this basically how i get started creating roms? Suggestions, links, precautions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Rom kitchen won't work with our phones
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rockstarar:
I can't remember the person who made that, but if his name starts with a d, its HTC only.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
this?? http://romkitchen.org/samsung/?s=home
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ricanblaze:
hey thats a pretty cool find tell me if it works i would like to learn too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
I'm a lil scared to try...lol. I created something but haven't done anything to it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Don't know what rom kitchen is but I have been doing a lotvof reading about deving over the last couple of weeks and there is a wealth of info right here at xda. Read ask questions read some more. Download a stock rom on the computer open it and tinker with the crap inside.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
Don't think you want to use that. Shows galaxy s... not galaxy s 4g.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
As mentioned above rom kitchen does not work for our phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ricanblaze:
lol dude tell me add me on gmail so we can explore this :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
ok. Its there a thread here that guides one to build roms? I didn't see any for sgs4g
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
first off grab a linux distro and install it side by side between windows and linux *unless u have a mac :P*

then also download beyond compare apk tool c++ compileing tools android sdk eclipse

if you also plan to theme your roms or change clolors or add transparencies you will also want the css color/transparency chart so you know the values :P

you can skip the c tools if your not going to plan on building kernels.. the rest you will need just for straight roms with no visual modifcatons eg themeing :P for that photoshop in windows or gimp in linux personally i use gimp in linux its free and has the same toolkit :P

if your a linux novice which i am going to assume you are ubuntu or mit 10.x preff 10.10 will get you the correct build tools for gingerbread

your going to have to learn how to decompile apps and how the changes you make alter the way the rom works *hence why virtual phones amd eclise are so handy you can test your work without having to flash to your device 800000 times

your also going to want to learn java :P

if your a linux novice i would suggest learning linux before hand will save you many hours of headaches :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
Thanks bro, gonna check it out tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spy4ka:
Raver, how many years have you learned Java? Just wandering ;-)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fighitngroost12:
Ive been trying to get root on my phone but unfortunately the person who sold it to me unlocked the bootloader so i cant use the one click root option (the program unlocks the bootloader first and since mines already unlocked it just hangs there) my only other option is adb which i used to root my xperia x10 a year ago but now i have a new windows 7 laptop and adb is extremely difficult right now for me to get working, any ideas to help?

btw idk if this helps but when i try booting into the recovery i get an error signal

thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corythug:
1 click works. I had the same issue. After it does the bootloader unlock it should restart phone, then boot back into bootloader and continue for root. Wrong forum btw, use q& a.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fighitngroost12:
ok id move it but i dont think i can

and i tried that and it doesnt work, it says "waiting for device" it wants me to accept my bootloader being unlocked but since mine already is i go straight to the fastboot, rebooting to fastboot does nothing to continue the process
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Learn to root without using a one click method. You will learn important things about your phone that will help you in the future.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bradart:
This is why I hate 1-click roots. I root all of my phones manually because this advice is so true.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:
well ive taken your advice and i have adb devices showing my serial number so i have that working, but now when i try rooting through fastboot i get a message saying fastboot is not recognized *sigh* any help?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
fatboot solution (possibly)

I've been going through the same thing and I believe I may have found the solution to adb issue. Waiting on phone to charge now so that I can try it again.

From what I've found, you have to download fastboot separately and place in the same file containing adb.exe

hope this helps :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Open a command prompt from the one click root folder. It has ADB and fastboot support.
[HTC EVO 3D] frankrmz:
(Q) what's the best aux cable to use from phone to car any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Any thick & properly shielded cable will do, and if you're paying more than $5 for it you're being taken for a fool... www.monoprice.com imo
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
I, too, have been looking for a new Aux cable... I currently have a "monster" brand aux cable I received as a gift and when I had my iPhone it worked fine but w/ the EEEVVVOOO if I am charging the phone while playing music (say, in my car) there's a very noticeable and VERY annoying high-pitched static.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
No cable's gonna fix that...
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
Really? I had the EXACT issue w/ my iPhone 4 and the higher-quality cable fixed it with that. Is the electric interference just overly high on this phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Hmm, Monster cables are usually terribly overpriced but they're usually decent, I figured it'd be unlikely other cables would make a difference. I haven't had an issue connecting my phone to cars, docks, etc. Without hearing the exact nature of the sound it's hard to say what's at fault, just don't spend more than $10 on a new cable as they're not worth more.
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
If you guys go to radio shack, you can build your own. Get the proper cable length and the correct male headphone connectors for each side. And your done.
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
I've had great experiences with monster cables. If you can find one at a good price. Good thing I work at best buy. Haha
[HTC EVO 3D] frankrmz:
Got monster cable 8ft 10 bucks so far so good.
[HD7 General] grifter024:
Just bought a Tmo HD7 today and need some help on what to do with it. It seems that if I go and update the phone that if I ever want to throw a custom rom I would need to downgrade then upgrade again..sooo I was wondering if I should just update from Msoft or I should put a custom rom on already.

I also need help on a Tut if I do a custom rom because it is a little weird on the wording or I cant seem to understand. I also cant find the sticky for noobs to put a custom rom.

Thanks again guys.
[HD7 General] grifter024:
I checked my bootloader and its a 1.xx .

I have been reading lots of comments and lots of people say that if you have an HD2 then you should stick with that.

I was wondering if I should take the phone back since it seems to be very closed sourced compared to the old Win-Mo phones.
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
there is a tutorial on how to do all that stickied on this thread. link is in my signature.
[HD7 General] grifter024:
Thanks for some reason I couldnt find that one but it is really laid out thank you.

One more question: Is the phone worth it? I mean is the community going to have a long life or is it going to have a short one since it is so closed. I would like to keep the phone since it looks nice but if I cant really do anything with it I'll just stick with my HD2.
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
welcome.

well, all first generation WP7 phones are supposed to get the Apollo update...

so, yeah, i would say it has another official year or so.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
i think it is...well when i installed gingerclone i love it now. original software was -so-so for me...

what do you guys think?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
For a mid-range phone, the Sidekick is pretty good device. You could do much worse. The keyboard and data speed are very nice. I just hope AT&T doesn't get their hands on T-Mobile. I can't afford AT&T's prices.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] lintfiend:
It's the only phone I have found so far that has been a worthy replacement of my old G1.

I just demand having a full-keyboard. Works great in my work environment, and I don't have to use a ****ing Blackberry
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
I like the keyboard but I came from a blackberry. Where my bb's keyboard was just perfect. And I don't really find a difference in 4g...it just seems the same as 3g. And agree. At&t is money.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
Came from a blackberry, I love that keyboard over my sidekick. But sidekick keyboard is nice too. And I definitely agree with a keyboard demand. I'm afraid that if I drop a full touch screen phone, the screen will crack and I wouldn't be able to do anything till I get it fixed. :(.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eurohomie:
I believe that it is, TRUE it is a midrange phone but when looking at phones with full keyboards, the sidekick has an amazing one. When i was choosing a phone i was stuck between the Sidekick or the G2(a real smartphone), after playing with both of them, I fell in love with the Sidekick's keyboard and the snap of the keyboard, The G2s seemed flimsy and would close on me if i was holding it up(like when laying in bed). The 4G speed is pretty great but thats because i actually download ROMs and stuff directly to my phone since my home internet is basic DSL and nowhere near as fast. As for the bugs, and there are many, they can be solved with a simple flash. I do notice that the phone can be kind of sluggish at times, like when i'm playing certain games it doesn't respond to what i'm doing.

Oh wow, didn't realize I wrote all that and i woulda kept going. Bottom line, One of the BEST midrange phones and even better than alot of smartphones. If people give it a try, they will fall in love with it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dinosoreraw:
hey Im new here in fact this is my first post but I hated my sk43g for freezing and lagging constantly...my frustration led me here and I agree with mksin since ive been using the gingerclone rom with kg2 modem my phone has been running great and I honestly want to keep modding this thing to see what it can really do
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edsped:
Hey guys, ever since the OTA update for 2.3.3 I've been getting at least one random reboot every week. It really pisses me off because before the update my phone ran perfectly AND it didn't even add Facebook or Android Market syncing which are the two things I was really hoping for. I finally rooted it the other day using the zergrush method and I've been messing around with the advanced settings in SetCPU hoping that something might help but I'm still getting random reboots every few days. I'm on the verge of paying Alejandrissimo to unlock my bootloader so I can flash doomkernel V3 but I don't even know if that would help. I guess I could also flash back to 2.3.2 and I imagine that would fix it.

I know I'm not the only person who started experiencing these reboots after the update, so does ANYONE know why they might be happening and what might possibly be a fix? Thanks.

When and if an official MR fix is out from Sprint and or Samsung then i'll bite again. Tired of being a beta guinea pig for these companies.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
To be 100% honest here...gonna be real real with you son. Real real son...

Epic 4G Touch is better than the iPhone 4S.

Screen - haha...

Speed = same.

Camera = Epic 4G Touch hands ****in down. The iPhone's gimmick is that it focuses quicker and after the snapshot, you can immediately take another shot. But the Epic 4G Touch's camera is sick. Up close, they are about the same. Far away, the iPhone struggles like hell. Most people don't know this because review websites only take pictures of their dog up close and sht so you can see the detail...but if they told that dog to run away and then took a picture of it, Epic 4G is on it.

Apps - Epic 4G Touch

Browser - E4GT. The E4GT wins on this because it shows grown man pages (unlike the iPhone). What I mean by that is with this phone, you get the desktop look. iPhone, even when it's not on the mobile version, on my sites will give you a weird version of the site that doesn't even look believable. The speed is about the same on WiFi but the look is much better on E4GT.

Call Quality - Tie

Signal/Anything voice related - iPhone wins hands down. No LOS...my signal doesnt go from 3-4 bars to 0. None of that shiat

Data - iPhone wins again hands down. The data on here is seriously no joke.

Battery life - Tie. E4GT sleeps better but when using the phone, the iPhone holds on to the battery like a champ. I say that's a tie because nobody is on the extreme here. Nobody just unplugs and uses their phone nonstop like a desktop or unplugs and just lets it sleep until it dies.

So, in conclusion...E4GT is the better phone so stop it with these damn threads. You all know this sht. Everyone here knows that the SGS II is the best phone out there right now...

So instead of making these threads, bug the **** out of Samsung and have them fix those damn radios. If more time was spent on bugging the hell out of them, or trying to pull a "never again" twitter hashtag protest, then we'd probably be closer to a fix. Them just saying they'll have a fix out at a certain time isn't enough...we saw what happened with that SGS...so we should try to make something happen now. And don't buy the Nexus Prime (unless you are really going to stick with that device for 2 years)...that just enables them and shows them that in all actuality, they really don't need to update these phones.
