Anyway to answer your second question, I'm sure it's possible but somethings probably wouldn't work. We're having difficulties in some areas with this device. S-ON, wifi drivers in a supposedly open source, etc.

I'm sure you know that when holding the home button, the 6 recently opened apps are displayed.. However, on other Android devices (or by default), there are 8 recent apps when you long-press the home button. How do I make changes such that there will be 8 recent apps displayed instead of 6?

So I just bricked my arc, (I will never again stray from XDA) might go out and buy an SGSII.

Which custom rom should I install from the brief looks I have had, I really like the Astetics of Turkbay it looks beautiful. Exynos seems to be where the functionality is at.

Advice Please

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Flash whatever you like. Your asking such a general question you'll get fans of each rom saying flash this flash that.

Take your pick, try it out, if you don't like it move on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moshtaq:
first you can check the screen shoot of each rom then compare the feature of each one... and go on to install what you like.... after test you can decide to change or stay.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cez10:
was using exynos before going to checkrom, very happy with the change :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZed:
I was using MIUI for it looks, but I lost all the functionality and I wanted to come back to stock rom but it sucks. So i found three roms i want to test out.

Hydroxygen by Paradoxxx

WickedRom by Chetan Mohanty

The GingerMod by 89luca89

WickedRom is stock with a lot of changes and upgrades

Hydroxygen is AOSP. Very fast, used with void .echo kernel and its simply the best.

The GingerMod looks very nice as I want an AOSP interface with samsung framework

Trying WickedRom and I'm pretty happy!

[Xoom General] john_hc09:
Hi guys,

a quick question. On a regular Xoom (out of the box, unrooted, unflashed etc), FileExpert is able to back up all the apps to an external SD Card. I then flashed my device and verified I could restore the apps from the backed up APKs. How can File Expert rip the APKs from /data? Isn't it supposed to be protected, and accessible only via root?

Thanks,

John

(If you see my other post, I backed up BEFORE rooting).
[Nook Color General] Rogue Leader:
Hey all. So up until about a week ago I was running CM7 nightly build 150 something on internal memory and all was fine on my nook, with just the occasional issues with the facebook app, but SoD seemed to be gone, and so on. Recently I updated to CM7 build 253 which fixed my Facebook problem, seemed to run better blah blah blah. I made some changes, added some new widgets (HD widgets was only 10c on the market!), and SoD had seemed to come back. I was literally checking my email, I put it down, checked it again 1/2 hour later and it was dead.

I wasn't too concerned because in the past all I would do is plug in my charger and it would pop up. Well not this time. It wouldn't come back on, the power switch wouldn't work either. So I decided to let it charge up fully. This morning, power button still didn't work, unplugged it and tried again. It just straight out won't even try to turn on.

I'm considering trying to format my SD card as bootable and see if something maybe just got cooked internally.... But I have doubts that it would even boot from that. Unfortunately didn't have time to test it much, but has this happened to anyone else? Do I now own an expensive doorstop?
[Nook Color General] ajrty33:
I don't know that it'd work very well as a doorstop :/

Hold the power and n button down for a lonnng time.
[Nook Color General] FloydF:
From what I understand it's not possible to brick it. I assume you read the thread of how to unbrick pinned to the top of this forum? That is where I would ask the question if it is still open.
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
Also try just holding the power button alone for a long time. Wait a few seconds. Then try to boot again.
[Nook Color General] k8108:
Hold down the n + power button for 10 seconds. Release. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Repeat this process 2 or 3 times, if necessary. Has never failed me.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Try making a bootable SD card and see if it will boot that way.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color General] Rogue Leader:
I had to do this about 7 Times, then it finally booted.

What was stranger, the battery level was the same as when it died, even though I had plugged it in and "charged" it till the n light went green. According to the battery history it basically seems as if I had simply shut it off and never plugged it in.

Normally I wouldn't be so concerned about a SoD moment, but in almost a year of having the nook color it has never locked up like this (running CM7 anyway).

Not quite sure what deodexed means.... sorry for being such a noob.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JROCxvl:
No. deodexed from my understanding means that the apks and other files are "organized" so to speak. root means that you have superuser access so you can edit and change files and storage locations you normally would nit have access to. I know this all can be a bit overwhelming to start off with! And I am by no means an expert!

Thank you both. I appreciate the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pcomuto:
deodexed: APK have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming.

So before themeing it is essential to take a backup.

SystemUI.apk if using deodexed rom or SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex if using odexed.

Odexed systems are compressed and a bit less customizable than deodexed.

Now if you wanna know that your system is deodexed or not:

If you have root access, via Root Explorer or another root worthy file manager, to /system/app you can look at the file extensions and see ".apk" and ".odex" on devices which are "odexed."

Thanks

[HTC Sensation XL] D.Rigby:
Thanks for replies everyone.

I did decide to leave it until the new year and have recently found one site claiming to offer the Digitzer for this phone, I'm just a little wary of whether the sites trustworthy though.

Here's the link -

parts4repair.com/htc-senstion-xl-touch-screen-with-digitizer/

I also watched a video on how to replace the digitizer on the older Sensation and it didn't look as straight forward as I have done in the past so may find someone to do it for me.

Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
[HTC Sensation XL] redbaronnl:
Ive done some googling around, and it appears that breaking glass happens to alot more people. Seems HTC decided to NOT use gorilla glass on this otherwise magnificent phone..

Also i read tons of people get scratches on the screen rather fast, so using of screen protectors is advised.
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
Nope... HTC Sensation XL's screen is using Gorilla Glass, I can assure you that.

I've been using this device for almost 5-6 months WITHOUT any protectors and not a single scratch was given
[HTC Sensation XL] redbaronnl:
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/11/mobile-monday-htc-sensation-xexl-head-to-head/

scroll down to the part where it says: "what we didnt like"

It says here no gorilla glass, also i have found other topics on XDA saying people had scratches very easily.

Could it be possible some phones dont have gorilla glass then? So far my screen has been fine, and the XDA topic gives mixed responses too.. link
[HTC Sensation XL] MinecraftZombi.es:
I don't know where you heard that, but i am certain it is not true. Not as a definite guide.

it may be that HTC are in the same situation as with the old Desire. Maybe some of them do, but some don't depending on what supply of gorilla glass is available at the time of manufacture.

I know mine does have a scratch or two, but they are tiny and not even noticable when turned on. so mine definitely doesn't have Gorilla glass in it.
[HTC Sensation XL] klaoo:
... about the Gorilla Glass on the Sensation XL

If you check the Corning's website (sorry, can't post outside links yet), in the products section, for HTC, you'll see that the Sensation XL is not listed there...

Also, about 2 hours ago, I talked to a guy from HTC support center, and he confirmed that the Sensation XL's screen doesn't use Gorilla Glass.

This is really disappointing, given the fact that it was the most expensive smartphone made by HTC (up until the HTC One series).
[HTC Sensation XL] marco473:
Does anyone know, if a third party company might make a digitizer with a higher quality digitizer?
[HTC Sensation XL] CoSaWa:
It would be good, I've been very careful with my phone and I've already noticed a few deep grooves in the screen. :(
[HTC Sensation XL] marco473:
Same here, it's really annoying when i think of all the old phones i had, which didn;t scratch at all, even when i was careless with them.
[HTC Sensation XL] CoSaWa:
Even my Incredible S never had a scratch on it, HTC really let us down on this one mate.
[HTC Sensation XL] hayspat:
Hi, i broke my digitizer too. After searching for a replacement, How can be ensure that is original HTC brand part?
[HTC Sensation XL] gabbs:
Mine broke about the exact time this thread was started ..lol..Was quite disappointed since it fell out of my lap unto carpet,I could not belie it was cracked .Maybe how it fell. I had an hd2 for ages with any problem even falling downstairs .Then I had a desire HD ,no problem there either..

Why was it advertised as Gorilla glass if they did not use it?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean is here.:
I'd be very wary of cheapo tablets.

I was lucky enough to score 2 x 32gb HP Touchpads in the fire-sale Sunday night.

Being an Android fan, I'd go the tablet route. An HDMI screen might be pretty steep, and wouldn't offer the touchscreen controls. You'd be stuck with what's running up front.

But more often than not, with Android tablets, you get what you pay for. Would 1 tablet be enough in the back?

I think the GBP130 tablets are going to be crap, though. Unless you find a good deal on a good brand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pennine1:

hi everyone,

is there a way to change the icons of the apps in the dock on my GN? i tried installing Go Launcher EX and i found that it wasn't very fluid. I would much rather stay with the stock launcher. i just wish there was an easy way to change the icons in the dock so they could match the style of my home screen!

any help is very appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
As far as I know, it's not possible to modify app icons in the dock of the stock launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wiggz:
^ seconded...I'm not sure that it can be done without a) changing the files in the framework on the Stock Rom, or using another launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tauket2:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azlum:
ADW Ex is updated for ICS and is very quick/smooth and resource friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dyln:
You can do it with "Desktop Visualizer". Just create a new shortcut with the app, apply any icon you want, assign it to the application you want to open and drag it down to the dock.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sasha007:
Hi ,

I just came from iPhone to android , and knowing that a complete dedicated backup manager like itunes for iphone doesn't exist for android b'coz of its cloud approach .

I then came by some software solutions , but am confused which is the best to use .

Can someone shed some light on what the below softwares do & which one is the best :

1. Titanium Backup

2. MyBackup Pro

3. nandroid

FYI i have a galaxy S2 ( 16GB ) without an SD card and am rooted on 2.3.5 .

Please explain what each one does .

Also , are there any desktop based solution (like itunes for iphone ) for android backup .??

Please reply ...:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BobbyGocheff:
From the Titanium Backup wiki

"

...

1. What can Titanium Backup back up ?

- All the applications you have installed, included protected ones,

- All the data and settings of these applications,

- Most (nearly all) of your phone's settings and data.

- Titanium Backup 3.8.0+ will also backup the system applications from your ROM, not just their settings and data.

...

"

This is the only program that I've used from your list but never try a complete backup ,only some programs.

I don't know very well how Itunes make backup but Titanium Backup is one of the most widely used on Android.
