Deodexed roms have a little bit worse performance, but are easier to mod.

Apps have .odex files which contain some data and optimisations. Deodexing means converting and putting that extra .odex file back into the .apk file.

(google or search for lengthy explanation)

tl:dr

It doesn't really matter which one you flash.

I have to pass 5 hours in the airport in between flights, but I did not even feel it, it passed very quickly, the time fly quickly, it was not even enough.... all thanks to my Android Smartphone....

With the android usb tether, I was able to give my laptop access to the internet (right now) which allowed me do all my online stuff from the airport... (and with usb tether, I even charged the phone)....

second, for my luck, it's the 3rd day of Android Market 10 Billion offers of apps and games at 10c: I got many games at 10c And I passed at least an hour playing games (FieldRunners is addictive) !!!!!

in the old days, with no smartphone and tethering, I used to get so bored....

FFmpeg for Android 4

How can i add it too my ROM?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Just for those using the new KL1 test ROM...

Tested this out a bit myself, thought I'd share the results.

If you disable the Factory Test startup services, you'll find that you enter deep sleep much quicker and stay there longer, thereby saving you battery as your CPU state will otherwise remain in 200MHz.

Before disabling these, in 60 minutes in screen off, totally untouched state, my device was only in Deep Sleep for about 10 minutes.

After disabling these, in 60 minutes in screen off, totally untouched state, my device was only in Deep Sleep for about 55 minutes.

I have background data on and my radio is set to use WCDMA only.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetTheter:
so i have the multimedia dock, and unlike most other phones the atrix has USB host support, hence why we can plug in stuff like usb drives with fat32 partitions. However i've tried connecting a walmart xbox controller via usb to the multimedia dock since I need a USB port to plug into and nothing. No response, ie no buttons work no nothing.

I've also plugged in random keyboard like dell, and they work fine, hell even wireless mice over usb work fine, and provide a cursor on the home screen.

I'm mostly starting this topic because with the new Onlive system they have their own controler and I don't see what i'm missing.

Do I really need to buy a ps2 controller and connect via BT and do i need special software and can i use it like a mouse?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ollonk:
The Atrix needs power incoming through the USB port to enable host-mode (at least, in the stock roms; I've heard it said that this might not be necessary in android 3.0 and newer, but I have no idea.)

What this means is that nothing you plug in will work unless going through one of the docks or via an externally powered USB hub that also sends voltage back upstream. If you want to test this, try plugging in a flash drive.

(EDIT: This is directed to 1chris89, not OP, sorry.)

SOLUTION

I have a true solution to this problem. An Ice Cream Sandwich should do the trick; the tablets you guys have seen using xbox 360 controllers are honeycomb, an os with baked in game controller support since I believe 3.1

We have a solution though in the form of convergence. 4.00 being both honeycomb and an evolution of 2.3. Try this again with a wireless controller adaptor plugged in and running CM9!!! Should have native support...

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiapanda:
Hey guys, i fell in love with this device, my problem is now it seems so rediciously overpriced in my country(Denmark) I heard that it's around 400$ in US but in denmark, it's around 720$, which is just so much.

Compared to other tablets like Galaxy,xoom,acer, and so on' it's just so rediciously expensive.

Also, the other thing which annoys me is when people sell it used in Denmark, they only cut like 10% off the price, which imo should be at least 40%.

No wonder why noone sells it. (check dba.dk if instrested)

So, guys, is it really true that it's so expensive, and worth the money?

Also, if anyone danish guys got it, and want to sell it, contact me! (max 2750DKK)

tl;dr

Want to buy

Too expensive

Brag about people sell it for too much

Where to buy

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
I would still buy it because of the dock. For that kind of price point I wou,d probably try for a prime instead.

Sans the dock, I'd probably have gotten the GT in your boat.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiapanda:
The prime is like 1070$...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
Dang, is it not a viable option to get it shipped from elsewhere? I don't know if it's been stated to not be allowed already, but if you could get it shipped from the US for less than $320 (or $320- how much you value the time it takes), you'd be getting it for less?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sigismund83:
Well, if you want to ship it from the US, it's a bit complicated inside of EU (well at least Czech Republic ;) ), because if you order something from abroad, you have to pay some fees and taxes for importing it. So in order to pick up the package from the post office you first have to pay all the fees and taxes.

Not to mention that you'd probably have to get a different charger or at least the plug. But most of all, you'd get no support/warranty if something goes wrong unless you ship it back to the US. And btw, shipping is not the cheapest as well.

But still $720 is terrible, I got mine (with the dock) a few weeks ago for ~ $575 (about 11000 CZK). Price without the dock is something like $465. But it's still cheaper than the Galaxy Tab. My father in law bought one a few weeks ago - 64GB, 3G with bluetooth keyboard - for something like $1100 :eek:

On the other hand, prices in US vs. EU are not really comparable. I always rage and envy, when I see them... The US prices (for almost anything) always seem 25-50% less than what I get from local stores. :(

I heard a rumor once that US producers set EU prices like 1 USD = 1 EUR... :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiapanda:
You pretty much explained why i can't order it outside EU, the other thing is that there is no "ÆØÅ" keys, which is standard danish keys.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poulsky:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
I'm not familiar with Danish customs but I know from USA->Canada travel and the inverse that past what ever $ amount is set, you have to pay a precentage. So e.g. I went through to Canada with an engagement ring and gave the cashier my receipt, then had to pay the duties to take it through. That and remembering my fiancee is extra awesome for not wanting a ring that costs more than my car....lol

I would assume that most countries are the same in concept.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiapanda:
So a rom would magickly add extra keys on the keyboard dock(;?

Hi,

If you are not having success with the stock SMS app,then I would suggest you go to the market and get a different one.

May I suggest Go SMS Pro.

It is a free app and it works really well .

BTW.

You should know which ROM you have.

If you want to install any mods,you must know the version of your ROM,or you will give yourself no end of problems.

Go to settings>about phone>software information.

[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
First of all, my Photon is rooted and I used a couple of the updates from the photon android development forums.

It is getting to where there are just too many market apps that I can not download. Some come up as not compatable (while I'm 100% sure they are compatable) and others just straight up don't show. It gets real interesting when I go to the android market on the web and try to get the apps.

The android market thinks that I have 2 Moto photons. One of the 2 photons, it will in fact allow me to send some of these incompatable apps to and the one that google SEES me on is "not compatable". I guess the market thinks my phone became a new phone when I did one of the updates. But yet this new photon is not compatable with many apps.

I was using my Acer Iconia tab to help me get some of these apps to my Photon, especially some of the ones I purchased. But now, I have 2 Iconia tabs too (even though the second one is again, the same device.)

Is there anything I can do? I loved Android since the day it came out. But it's getting to where I almost don't want it. I need an outlet to get apps but I don't want to ask people to upload apks. I know about the amazon market but not every app is there.

Is this a brand based problem? Cause though I love the Photon, I would switch in a minute if this wasn't the case. But it's also happening on my Iconia tab and it's happening more and more and one thing I just won't do is start asking if anyone has apks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, this will take me a minute (if you want a real explantion, or just skip to bottom where I talk about App Brain). I am sorta like you, I'm well over 100 Apps and use SPB 3D Shell to keep them orgainzed.

I use my phones and like to keep them tight. I had and Evo and co-worker turned me on to App Brain.When I got Photon, I was in your position. I went to Market and more or less, installed everything I got individually.

You Sync App Brain, and when you get new phone, like I just did, tell it to put it all back (You still have to go to SPB 3D Shell and orgainze it, but it give you a start!)

Want more protection? Root it and get Titaniaum Backup, paid version!!! Backup all your crap each monday at 3:00AM (you know my schedule now), hook the phone up to computer as HD and move backup to your computer or USB drive (its not small!). If something ever happens to your phone, get titaniaum from market and use THAT backup to restore. The good thing about the paid version, not only will it put your app's back, it puts them back with the last configuration!!! Done!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
Thank you for responding. But I do not believe that this helps. I already use Titanium Backup of course. But App Brain is just a market browser that still ultimately takes you to the market to download apps does it not? And the market will still list them as incompatable.

This is not going to let me download new versions of, for example, Swiftkey X, LCD Density, and even the ChaCha app. I would have to go find a friend who has a phone that's listed as compatible (even though the Photon IS compatible) and then back it up and transfer it. This makes for licensing problems for apps that I have purchased and I'm certain are compatable.

Because I can get many apps but there are many that I can not get, there is something that many developers do that apparently makes it compable with SOME Motorola Photons as far as the market goes. This is why I could easily download Titanium Backup but I can not download SwiftKey X which I paid for even though it IS compatable.

Can anybody help? I need a way to get apps that are compatible to the photon like swiftkey x onto my photon and the ability to keep them UPDATED. What I do not want is a way to keep them backed up, I already have that. I will switch phone brands if I need to but I absolutely require a phone or a fix for this phone on which this problem does not exist. Otherwise, it's useless to me as apps are updated often sometimes and I want those updates without running onto the net and asking people to please post an apk. Please reply if you have a solution. I am going to scream if I see that banner that says this app is not compatable with your phone again when market.android.com will send it to my older photon (which does not exist by the way. The market just recognizes my photon as a second photon after an update I did from the developer forums). Grrr, don't even want my photon now that the droid razor is out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] balinger16:
have you tried going into manage applications and clearing the data and cache from market. I had some problems with apps that were bought on both amazon and google and this allowed the apps to update from google.
[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
Yes. I have cleared data from the market under manage applications. This does not do it. There are still apps that the android market refuses to let me install. Any such apps do not have an install or download button. Instead, there is just that banner on the very top that says "Your device is not compatible with this item." for many apps ever since I installed one of the updates and since then, I have 2 Photons listed when I look online. One of them, the android market will send these "incompatible apps" to and the other, it won't. Unfortunately, the device that android market will send the apps to is the same device as the one that the market sees as incompatible. It's like after one of the updates, the market reregistered my phone as a different phone. Same thing happened with my Iconia tab.
[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
