[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABQNM:
Thanks! I will try 241. That doesn't cause issues with any other legacy apps? At 240 all the legacy apps are fine and gmail was strange but tolerable. Music was unusable. I would think that 241 would cause legacy apps to display windowed, but if not that is awesome.

Update:

So far 241 looks perfect. I guess by being at 241 we are just sticking barely inside xhdpi where 240 goes to hdpi. Then it is probably thinking with that resolution and dpi it should have the tablet interface. The Music widget was showing up with the album art detached and a previous track button, which is obviously not the style of the standard widget. Thanks for clearing that up, as I guess I missed it if it was covered before.

Update again:

Looks like 241 causes apps to be incompatible in the market, so that is out. This could be tough here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:
Ooh 1st post here after coming from HD2 (where 240 was stock & 160 v-small).

Having a few issues:

Stock clock will not resize, like most other widgets esp. Power widget where 3 buttons fill the width in portrait.

Music widget killed ghe Launcher & had to reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABQNM:
With the exception of the clock stretching, as it doesn't for me either, The other issues are likely the same as my post above where superbobup pointed out that 241dpi seems to fix the gapps issues which are what you describe. (THANKS superbobup!!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_GreenTree:
Switching the dpi from 240 to 241 does fix the gapps, but now on any home screen I cannot get the screen to rotate from portrait to landscape mode, whereas on 240 dpi the screen was able to auto rotate
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleroy:
I've been running this for a week or so, but have had to stop due to some bugs.

Stock widgets just don't work, I can't drop the music widget anywhere.

When installing an application, I always get 'There is no room on homescreen'

With 241dpi, hardly any applications can be installed from the marketplace, always comes up as incompatible.

Would love it if these things would get fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABQNM:
I just noticed the 241 causing the market issues as well. I just edited my post then I saw yours about it. I have to drop it too because of these issues. Nothing to do with the OP, just limitations of the APIs and screen sizes. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Guys, I have created an app to change the lcd density. Check it out and let me know what you think. It combines features from most of the other apps available. It is guaranteed to work with the Galaxy Nexus, and uses ICS styling.

LCD Density Mod

For those with market issues, try this:

1. Boot your phone into 320 dpi mode.

2. Find the Market app under manage apps. Click uninstall updates, clear data, clear cache.

3. Find Market Updater under manage apps and click Disable.

4. Open Market and accept terms of service.

5. Change dpi back to 241 and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjmblazex:
The widgets still don't work at 241...

I think I am going to just try a new ROM anyways, this one seems to lag for me...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Give Nova Launcher a try for now. It seems to support changing the amount of icons on the homescreen. Until i merge my changes into the 4.0.3 launcher, that is your best bet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myxcon:
I wish you could give us some information about what has to be modified in the launcher.apk so we can try to make ourselves what we need.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:

Ive had to use Nova Launcher until BRD is fixed.

Although Nova had some graphics glitches when selecting 7 columns (so the drawer fills the screen with icons).

I found the best results with 7 rows / 6 columns.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_GreenTree:
I like this launcher on 241 dpi, 6x6 w/ search bar, for the most part everything is glitch free, I'm using android revolution 2.1.2. The problems I would like to see fixed are landscape mode on home screens and app/widget drawer, and a functional market ( although this isn't too big of a problem since mostly all my apps are downloaded on my PC and adb pushed to my sgn)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] npgauth:
invisible folders?

Is there any chance we could get "invisible folders" in this as well? The thread for this modification is here.

Awesome job btw - thanks!

I think than invisible folders are a perfect complement for this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alimdoener:
It crashes upon adding any widgets. Is there a fix/workaround for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qamrij:
hi also i have the same problem when evr i try to resize a widget it crashes. is there any solution for that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVO'D_OUT:
If I want to revert back to the stock ICS launcher do I simply install the stock ICS launcher from clockwork? Is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to delete this somehow or will reinstalling the stock launcher overwrite the BRD launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABQNM:
If you installed the early way and deleted the stock launcher then just flash it. If not, it should still be on the phone just not active. Go to settings > apps > all > find BRD Launcher and tap it and then tap clear defaults. Press home and you will be prompted to choose the home you want to use. To go back to BRD do the same but find Launcher in the apps list. That way you can keep it there if you want just in case or you can set the default launcher again and then just delete BRD.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 630263:
After flashing this mod & restart, see only boot animation

I changed dpi to 241 and then flash this mod from recovery / sd card / zip, and now I see only boot animation, nothing else..

I can not boot into system..

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alimdoener:
May I also replace the launcher with Root Explorer Hand change the permissions

Manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 630263:
No need to flash by adb

After dpi change to 241 and restart, I only move brd_launcher.apk to /system/app and rename launcher2.apk to .bak.

All by ES file man with root privs.

And everything works perfect.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajjus:
Overall I really like this launcher. The biggest issue I have is sometimes when you're in the App drawer, it just gets stuck there and cannot go back to the home screen or launch any new application. The only way out is to reboot the phone. I'm not sure if this an isolated issue, if so can someone help with a fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JordanMitch:
Hi , anyone know an app to change the led lights and then assign them to different things?, (email, text, fully charged etc)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
Absolutely. Check out Blink in the market; and its free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JordanMitch:
thanks man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JordanMitch:
just tried it out, only the blue and red work, any other suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
There's also lightflow and a few others. Try them all out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
the only colors that will work are red, blue, and pink. You get pink by selecting the HTC Direct in the Lightflow app option thingy and then choosing purple as the notification color. Doubt you want pink....just lettin ya know. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
I know I don't want any pink... Lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
why is the camera app landscape position wrong (volume buttons down)?

i know when you have screen rotation on, you can rotate it the other way, but most 3rd party camera apps ive used have default landscape with volume buttons down. now the led flash is on the bottom of the lens. this is completely wrong to take pics. also when you have a rom that enables volume button shutter, it would only make sense for the shutter button to be on top.

which camera app allows custom exposures? for the iphone, there are 3rd party apps that allow you to multitouch the screen to select exposure and where to focus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soccerdude288:
i posted about three hours ago, my transformer screen cracked, i have taken the device mostly apart, but how that heck do you get the stupid glass off?! Does not one person in the world know? ive been searching for hours! people have replaced their glass before you can buy it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eschmacher:
This is my Mom's phone. This began randomly two days ago. IMEI shows up as garbled symbols. Phone number shows as "unknown".

she apparently brought it to the at&t store before she had me look at it -____-

they replaced her sim and also did a factory reset. Same issue.

Is it a hardware problem or is there something I can do software-wise?

I am pretty familiar with android since I've been screwing around with my cappy for almost 2 years now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] njd15:
The only reason i can think of may be that someone messed up the efs files which is your IMEI...maybe trying to unlock it.....best explanation i have
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eschmacher:
Should I poke around with adb to see if there are any backups of the efs file?

BTW kies shows this as "unregistered device"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] matiasjalaf:
imei garbled

I have the same problem. I am looking for a solution but can not find

[Samsung Infuse 4G] pease:
My phone has unknown IMEI and baseband. Cannot recognize SIM card. No service. The SIM card works fine in the other phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
I was going through amazon and was checking out this battery, does anyone own it? I'm kinda hesitated with no reviews or feedback but it looks amazing
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I'm Testing Them Now

I got two 1800 mAh batteries and a wall charger from Amazon. I have deep cycled one of the batteries so far, but I need to run some more cycles. Also, I need to put the original battery back in and time it to see how much more, if any, I am getting from the replacement batteries. I will try to report back in a few days with better data.

As for the charger, it can charge the battery directly, outside of the phone. And it has a USB port for charging the battery in the phone. So if you swap out a dead battery, it can be charging while you are using the spare battery in the phone. The charger is small and can easily be carried in a bag or briefcase.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Reclaim:
Awesome. For 17 bucks I'll try it out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] StrangeShadow:
I got the SaFPWR Fusion 2 case with the 1800 MhA battery. It works great, I run off of the case's battery all day, and sometimes it runs out and switches to my phone's battery around 10 at nite. Lasts me all day, even using Pandora, internet, e-mail, textes, etc.

Pretty pricey, but it's a case and extra battery, so I just looked at it like if I got and paid for both.

Plus, it has a year warranty, so I can just go in and get a new one before the year is up.

Case makes the phone a bit heavey, but I don't mind, feels like it gives it a more solid feel.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
I've ordered the two 1800 mah batteries plus this so i should be set for the life of the phone which is till the edge comes out, this stock battery is pathetic, the amaze has a 1820 mah and its not even lte
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] porcupineli:
I would go with one of these 1700mAh or 3400mAh from Mugen.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
1800 mAh batteries not any better, for me anyway

After running one of the 1800 mAh batteries through 4 full discharge/cycles, I got 20-40 hours per cycle. (Note, my usage pattern is probably less than most folks.) However, after running the 1650 mAh battery that came with the phone through 5 full sycles, I got about 48 hours each time, except for one where I got 24 hours with much heavier (for me) use.

So, I think I can say that the 1800 mAh batteries don't really provide significantly more power. They are the same size as the 1650 mAh battery.

The main benefit is simply having a spare battery in an emergency. Also, the charger can charge the battery while out of the phone.

PS: At night, I will put the phone in Airplane mode. It uses little power while I am sleeping, extending the battery time.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Vetdoctor:
:>;

Requires too many permissions. What's with "access to power" all about anyway. Besides that I looked closer and see that it does not include either a screw driver or adhesive. Are they insane?

Product Description

This item does not include screwdriver or adhesive. If you want the screwdriver, you need to buy this item:url-link

Joking aside I sweated buying a cheap 3400 battery for my EVO and it was the smartest thing I've done. Worked(s) great. I will give my new Vivid a month to break in but likely buy this one and risk the $16
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
I don't get why you would need a screw driver I put the battery in today and the cover slid on just like the regular cover does
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
How thick does it really make the device? Can you post a picture of a side view pretty please. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
This is my stats so far, I'll work on getting a pic up , so far this battery is very good for $16
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Thanks, I'm anxious to see how thick it makes the phone. Obviously increasing battery life though by the look of your screenshot.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
I found a flaw!!! The clips where it goes into the back are very thin so you have to be careful when removing , otherwise great battery
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thinkhope:
How's the battery life been so far? Still getting more than a day??!

Sent from my Desire HD
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
Well I ran it is but I stopped using it when I broke the snaps in the cover so I am waiting on a replacement cover to use it again
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
I signed up because of this thread. Its great to find others that have tried this. I have posted some of this on other sites..

I bought the 3600mAh from ebay for about 13 bucks. Popped it in and it was at 75%. I used Battery dr. app to see what usage time are compared to stock. Even at 75% it should have been more then what the stock batt had.... but it didnt.

Anyway, I thought it was a cheap chinese battery and just left it in the phone and charged it over night. I thought it was a wash and didnt thinking about it till later that day.. After it was charged the wife used it a little and hours passed. When I picked up the phone it was still showing 100% so I re-charged it just in case and ran it through a test.

Turned wifi on

Bluetooh on

sound at max

ran a long netflix move 2H:30min+

then did it again

and again.. haha

Anyway I didnt finish the 3rd time around, but it looks like I can get with all that **** on about 7 1/2 hours of netflex. Hell without wifi and bluetooth that might be over 8-9 hours..

I have not tested the stock one, but I dont think it will last that long. Which leaves me to think for some reason the Battery dr. app or something is not really forecasting the right amount of talk/video time. Also I ran Nav for over an hour the phone was warm and Battery Dr. showed the same temp all the time. maybe there is another app to try.. or maybe there is something in the battery that gives the phone info..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
Well I'm still averaging around 27 hours so for $15 I think this is the best battery I've owned
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
I just dont know why any of the aops doesnt show the difference..

I just tried "one touch battery saver" and that shows the same talk time, surfing time as the stock battery..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
You might need to reset stats from fully charged ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Can anyone confirm the consistency of the battery? Also, does the phone read the battery properly? I have a droid x as well and it doesn't read my extended battery right.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
where did you get it from?

was looking for some better batteries but the only ones i could find online wouldn't ship to Brazil. bummer.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
After some looking, I decided to order this one off of amazon. Apparently they make one for the Samsung GS2 and people seem to get good results from it. Ordered a case from them too (to save on shipping) to try to cut up to work with the battery. Ill post pics if Im successful.

Let us know how the battery works, I'm definitely interested.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Anyone hear anything about these: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Battery-Charger-Compatible-Raider/dp/B0062D7GS8? Looks like it includes a charger to charge them out of the phone, I might pick it up...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
And how about those batteries with a replacement back cover? only see them in black but my phone is white, don't think would look nice at all.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
It would be easy to paint
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 2lazy2day:
This is the largest battery I've found that still claims to work with stick back plate.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
I have a white vivid with the black expanded cover. It doesn't bother me.

Even though I cant get the damn apps to show me the correct info I know I'm getting 2 times the batt life if not more. The only real issue I have is trying to rig up a protective case. I was thinking of getting some hard silicone case and doing a little cutting. Might be a little strange.. but the extra batt life is nice for $13!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dreezy1209:
have you tried this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I ordered one yesterday. I'll let you know.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 2lazy2day:
It's shipping, hoping to see it before weeks end, I'll post back once i get it and get a few days out of it

I just ordered a 3500mAh Extended Battery with a Cover from Newegg for only $12.99. it just appeared. unfortunately i'll not be able to use my case with it, but for more than double the battery i'll deal. I couldn't post a link, but it's by GTMax and had no reviews yet. I'll let y'all know how it works out for me when i receive it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I just ordered the same one (GTmax) from amazon last week. Still waiting on it to come in. I'll post my thoughts on here once I get it as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
I have these batteries from hyperion. They are not much better than the stock battery but at least you get 2 of them plus an additional wall charger. For $25 it wasn't a loss and it's easy to just swap out the battery when you need to. I'm able to get about 20 hours with moderate to light use after I cycled them 5 times each. Running debloated stock rom ciq free. For $25 and free shipping at the time I bought them it was a pretty good deal. I hope that helps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] becandl:
Thanks! I just got them. I wasn't looking for a battery life increase, just the ability to swap out batteries when I run out. It works really well for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Got my GTMax battery from amazon today. I'll keep you guys updated as I calibrate it. I'll also post pics when I get a chance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Update - running off of charge when received (appx 75%) since 3pm yesterday and still sitting at 50%. So far its money well spent. The clips for the back cover are pretty fragile though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
On the stock battery, I can usually get a full day out of a charge with my regular use, which includes alot of texting, alot of facebook, and moderate amounts of web browsing, as well as the occasional phone call and youtube video. I also keep have a car charger in the car in case of emergency as well as a spare wall charger that I keep in my center console since when I travel my phone charger is usually one of those things I forget on my way out the door.

If I could get a larger battery that I could use the stock battery back with I would consider an upgrade. Ive also thought about the whole extra battery and charger route. I could never use a battery like the 3500mh though, mainly because when I sit my phone and my laptop on a flat surface, I perfer my phone to be the thinner of the 2. Id rather have to plug in for a few minutes in the car or whatever than have to deal with the extra bulk and weight in my pocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 2lazy2day:
Just recieved my 2000mah stock size battery. Fully charged out the box. Now to see if it actually out lasts the HTC stock battery. I'll report on performance in a couple days and a few charge cycles
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I just got my 2000mah stock-size battery too. I am a bad tester though. I work my phone hard and randomly. Some days I burn the battery up before noon just yapping on the phone.

Weekends are I use the GPS and Bluetooth heartrate monitor with little talk.

I'll leave it up to those with consistent routines to test.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
have all you guys with battery upgrades noticed that none of the apps show the extra usage over the stock battery?

I know mine last 2x+ but I cant get any of the apps to show it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
Can you tell me where you would like me look? Any particular app you want me to test?

First full day and the battery did seem to last a bit longer. I talk a lot during the day and the phone lasted a bit over 8 hours. That's good for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Give Battery Monitor by Simmo a shot. Just set it to voltage based. Your percentage will fluctuate up and down some, but it'll give you a good idea of how much you have left. Also, with the gtmaxx 3500mah battery, I get correct readings for the most part off of the regular setting.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
No idea how legit these batts are but a promise of 2200mah for a stock sized batt had me order one. I'll post how I go when it arrives.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
Have you seen those bumpers Apple was giving out for costumers after that iPhone 4 signal loss issue? They cover only the sideways. I'm looking for a case myself, and on the search I've seen lots of cases that have the back part unattached to the side part, so you can also use it as a bumper. Maybe it'll work for you.

Does this battery take longer to charge? Or is it pretty much the same?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I couldn't find that one. There was Battery Monitor by Sim2k but no Simmo.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
It take about 7 hours to charge the battery. I think the stock one was like 4-5.

I ordered a cheap case from ebay and will try to mess with it. A bumper would be perfect, but I dont see one for our phones yet. I just need something like it to hold the thing without slipping.

I ordered a wall charger that I think will charge faster and also another 3600 batt..haha

That's the right one, I didn't realize that the dev had changed names.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 2lazy2day:
After using my 2000mah battery for a week and and about 5 full charge cycles, I see no improvement from the stock battery. I'm getting about 13 hours from my normal use compared to 16 hours from the stock battery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
I've seen the sim2k one, but using the HTC velocity Android Market says that it's incompatible with my device :rolleyes: do you know of any other's that work well with extended batteries?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dreezy1209:
I also cycled and used the 2000mah stock size battery and I'd say battery life is worse than stock
