[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Littleconda:
Naked, but with grip tape

I'm not a big fan of cases, but I found the GN to be a bit too slippery. I cut a few very thin strips out of grip tape and stuck them to the edges. Now it doesn't feel like it is going to fly out of my hand every time. The grip tape is synthetic and you will not have sand or grit flake off. I will admit, at first it felt a little too rough, but I got used to it in a couple of days. Got the "outdoor tread tape" at home depot for just under 13.00 bucks and didn't even use 1% of it. Guess my kids skate board can use some of it also. Not sure if the tape will be rough on clothes and pockets, only time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
Cool solution but that looks hideous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] han.azuki:
what. the. crap. wow. way to totally destroy the aesthetic of your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
Aesthetically, it leaves something to be desired, but it's damned creative, and a smart solution. I applaud you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Littleconda:
I have to agree, the closeups are not very appealing, but the scuffs from dropping it are not either. To each his own. It can be easily taken off and no residue is left behind. I doubt 99% of the population who sees me use the phone would ever notice it. This is just my way of avoiding adding bulk via a case, but getting a little more proactive protection from dropping. Anyway here are a few more pics to horrify :eek: (slightly off topic, but my wife has butterfingers and i customized her otterbox reflex) Looks like hell, but she doesn't drop it anymore)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
In responding to the OP, get SOMETHING for your phone, even if its something to have in place until you find another case you really like. Protect your investment, replacing a case is cheaper than replacing the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It's too bad I can't see these photos at work because while I admire the creativity, I'm thinking you could have saved some money by going with duct tape and that stick-um stuff they have in schools. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sslazio5:
Hey guys!

Does anyone know if there's gonna be a Case-mate GELLI CASE available for the SGN ??

In general, do you know what happened and casemate withdrawed the tough and pop case from its website?

Thank you in advance and...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bp_:
I am going no case for now. Considering the ghost armor however since that would keep it thin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha Class:
Normally I wouldnt, but this being a samsung and hence prone to scratching and scuffing i'll have to thrown it into something

probably a vikuiti privacy filter and a ringke case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanyonsOfStatic:
What's the point of a case if you can never see your phone?! I case later after a couple scuffs to re-beautify my phone so I can enjoy how it's supposed to look at first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bp_:
Good plan. I will do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czonin:
Get a case. 2 days after the phone came out I was taking out of my pocket and it slipped out of my hand hit the kitchen floor. Screen was done and another $100 down the drain to pay my deductible. Now I'm using the rocketfish case you can buy at best buy. It fits the extended battery, protects it well, and doesn't add much bulk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Phazenine-:
Never leave home without a case & screen protector. they drastically extend the life of the device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bully4x4:
I bought a otterbox defender case popped the screen protector out and put a zagg screen protector on, but I drop mine a lot and I didn't like the otterbox screen...
[Acer Iconia A500] uscpsycho:
I am in need of some help. I recently bought a A500-10S16u but the seller screwed my order up. They are now out of stock and offered me an A500-10S16w instead of the A500-10S16u. Should I accept this? What are the differnces?

I searched on Acer's website but the information seems inaccurate/incomplete. There are several differences, according to Acer's site the W model lacks: NVIDIA GeForce, Dolby Mobile Technology, dual speakers, HDMI and MicroSD memory card reader.

However, according to Walmart's product page the W model has the GeForce, Dolby Mobile and MicroSD reader. Walmart makes no mention of dual speakers or regular HDMI. Plus, I don't think the U model has a regular HDM port (both regular HDMI and micro HDMI are listed as features by Acer).

I'm getting the sense that the two models are identical but the U/W distinction is for different retail channels. Can anyone confirm? Would be very much appreciated!!!

Kind of surprised this hasn't been answered in the FAQ yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] kashmir581:
Never mind, my original post didn't provide as much info as I had hoped. I do think that the two models are essentially identical. The Acer side-by-side comparison shows no missing features between the two. I think you are OK with the "w" version. Price-wise they list the same so that is also a helpful barometer.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I'll take a guess it's a manufacturer specific code. Maybe region or plant.

Hardware should be exactly the same.
[General Topics] bonefan03:
Hey guys, check this article from the new york times, what do you guys think about it?

www.nytimes.com/2011/12/20/technolo...ry-on-patent-claim-over-android-features.html
[General Topics] prbassplayer:
First off this belongs in general not captivate. Second that was a win on apple vs HTC on 2 patents that where in android. But the "win", if you want to call it that, only applies on HTC phones that are running android 1.6-2.2 and the effects of this "win" is in 4 months on a obsolete version of android that isn't sold anymore. Yea GG apple you "won".
[General Topics] clockcycle:
Nice, that reminds me of Charlie Sheen's "Win".. :D
[General Topics] prbassplayer:
It annoys me to see ppl go like "OMG APPLE WON. TAKE THAT ANDROID" when in fact it took them months and millions of dollars to settle it to US HTC phones that are running obsolete version of android. The few phones still selling with 2.2 or under have at the very least over 1 year since release (probably pushing 2 or more). Meaning they are in the "milking" part of their life cycle. On HTC's side its barely a loss most of their phones are running 2.3 and it only affects the US market so ya... wasted millions of dollars on some patents, that lets be honest, phone where doing way before Iphone came out and shouldn't be really patented based on its simplicity and common use. But ya Apple is Winning! lol

[HTC Desire S] ivanboba:
can i uninstal the update from my phone to the stock 2.3.3 and sense 2.1 and then install 2.3.4 and sense 3.0
[HTC Desire S] .:ArMinO:.:
Yes, you can. But you have to root your phone and manually go to Android 2.3.4 ROM... With nonrooted phone you can't do that.
[HTC Desire S] ivanboba:
aha thanks,but i read somewhere here that the m10 tool's are updated what now when can we expect new skins,how to make an own skin..thanks my english is bad i hope you understand what i mean :))

Hopefully people will make some more soon!

there are no custom skins that work really good on sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5,there is honey hd whitch is a peace of crap and revolucion hd and it is not better than honey hd sou both of skins are full crap hd,hhhh
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Given the fact that you have been slapped around verbally before for asking the same questions over and over again, despite getting the answer from different respected members of XDA, it might be worth you watching what you say on here.

If you think that the current skins are "crap" then maybe you should stop being so lazy, learn to program and create some yourself. I happen to think that HoneyHD is actually quite smooth and nice and I have great respect for the people who can do all this stuff - which I have no hope of doing myself.

Otherwise I would suggest, politely of course, that you shut up, stay quiet and wait like a good little boy.

[HTC Desire S] flashsam:
I can also confirm that the glass skin does not work on sense 3.0 with 2.3.5 although reading through the posts of the thread is sounds like the glas skin is made using a different resolution to that of the stock HTC Desire S ROM.

Maybe this skin only works if using a different ROM with a different resolution?
[HTC Desire S] ivanboba:
that is because it was made for 2.3.4,and all of the custom skins in the android market allso where made for android 2.3.4,someone told me we must wait for the update of m10 tools,i read somewhere that the m10 tool's are updated what now no skins yet,i don't think it will ever be skins for sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 :((

[HTC Desire S] totiadrenalin:
This is my first time writing a replay on stupid post here on xda forums, but you have passed all bounds mate.

If you think that the devs job is a crap, then shut the f...k up, and get your hand dirty.

If you think that you could make some better skin for sense 3.0 i'd put it with proud on my htc ds.

Until that moment stop barking around!!!!

If u're useless to u'r self, how could u be useful for other people around the globe?
[HTC Desire S] :
i asked about a one milion times how to make custom skins give me the correct answer on my question and i would make a skin that's perfect
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I suspect that the reason you haven't got an answer to that question is that it is not easy to answer. You would need to know a damn sight more than you obviously do to even begin to create them. If there was a simple way, possibly just by running an application and then putting in what you want, then everybody would be doing it - but they aren't.

Stop abusing other people on the board. Stop abusing the devs who do such a good job for everyone. Stop moaning and complaining all the time. Either shut up and stop asking over and over - keep waiting and hoping for somebody to produce what you want them to - or go and find a different forum to annoy everybody in.
[HTC Desire S] totiadrenalin:
With the words "get your hands dirty" I was meanibg to use his brain, and the search possibility of this forum, like everybody else in this comunity. There are tons of answers and detailed tutorials of how to unpack, edit and repack android apps in this forum.

.....and what i must do ;// pls help
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fundre:
Well you have to admit that our phone is not capable for such angry birds :( even on fresh installed rom and overclock :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Godra:
AlfsKernel + latest GignerDX. Overclock it and use swap to get amazing performances.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingsize623:
so what!

I can play angry birds without any lagg(except the first 2 seconds)

gingerDX overclocked 7.. Mhz with custom rom
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimeWasterNL:
Also, there's an option in some version of Angry Birds which lets you remove the background, which speeds the game up aswell.

It's too ugly for me, so i won't try it anyway:D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antimony:
Try other ROMs too if you don't like risking a nasty brick from unlocking the bootloader.

Alsways do a full wipe after the ROM is installed.

I run Angry Birds pretty well on GingerCruzt 8.2.
[Kindle Fire General] aerospacecase:
I tried installing Android Market using the copy to device and load with Root Explorer method and was only partially successful. I get forced close messages when running the market app. At one point I had the Market app working but it would not complete any downloads. Now I just get the message "process.com.android.vending has stopped unexpectingly."

I am not sure what state the Kindle Fire is now in. When I try to reinstall Google Feedback, it will not let me. Previously, I ran SuperOneClick and rooted the device with no problems. Now when I re-run the root command, it gets to step 7 (Wait for Device) and hangs. What apps and data do I have to eliminate to get back where I can try to install Android Market again?

P.S. I also get a forced close message on the eBay app but it will then run it okay.
[Kindle Fire General] bluenadas:
You have the latest version of the KF v6.2.1 that has broken root capabilities.

You lost root and super one click no longer works.
[Kindle Fire General] jlocohustler:
Looks like you fell into the 6.2.1 trap. You'll have to wait until someone finds a way to root 6.2.1 but I don't know if there will be such a thing.
[Kindle Fire General] jason6g:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13027-universal-all-firmware-one-click-root-including-261/

worked like a charm

instal an apk on the fire, extract a zip to adb on your computer, copy paste a few lines and you're good to go

Hey everyone,

My name is Mohit Rohatgi, and I consider myself a technology enthusiast who essentially lives on these forums :P I thought that since I had spare time while I learn to code, I would create this thread throughout many different forums listing the different ROMs, Kernels, Mods, etc available for different phones to make life easier for users who enjoy customizing their phones to the fullest extent.

Without further ado:

When I bought this sucker i managed to crack the digitizer in my pocket on day one. Tmobile wouldn't accept it so i just kept on using it. well i noticed my phone felt extremely hot in my pocket the other day.. and smoke was coming out the usb port. Of course because of the "physical damage" to the screen mobile wont' exchange it and in order to get a new one with insurance i'd have to spend more than I did on the phone in the first place. More money than I can spend with out falling short on rent. This is where you come in. If any of you have a broken SK4g say with a shattered screen/ cracked hinge, basically any sort of physical damage that doesn't effect the motherboard inside and you'd be willing to part with it for cheap. Please, PLEASE let me know.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LesserAnimal:
An update. It killed the charge circuit and i'm getting by using an old sidekick lx and alligator clips to charge the battery... Its not pretty but its working! I'm sure this is hell on the battery.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
you could buy a battery charger from ebay, then just swap batterys from the charger.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
I've had my sidekick get hot at random one day an quickly removed the battery seams that it does it once an a while not sure why since my last phone a samsung memior also got rather hot aswell when gps was on.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] NativeCain:
I think Mine may have been close to doing that. I left it on the charger overnight. Woke up in the middle of the night several hours later and it was nearly burning hot! It usually charges completely in about 2 or so hours, but had only charged about 40% or less at the time.

It also slid under a blanket as a slept. That may have been a factor. I have noticed it gets a little warmer while on clothe as it charges.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LesserAnimal:
still got this thing charging. It just sucks having zero use of the usb port any more. Once again please let me know if you've got any broken sidekicks i could use to Frankenstein.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
You can get a used SK4g in good condition for about $150 (on the low end) off of eBay. That is really not a bad price.

Have any of you calibrated the battery when it is fully charged? This might be the issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LesserAnimal:
i'm sorry but $1 is a too much to spend on a phone when the one you pay insurance on dies in under a month. Its a matter of principal and not money. Money I have, patience for criminals I do not. Long story short I bought a brand new sk4g out of contract through tmobile. its screen went completely wonky. Woudn't replace it because of a whitish pink hue on the the sticker despite never coming near water, spills, or even a steamy bathroom. Swapped out my old sk4g screen and the problem persisted leaving me with another ****ed motherboard. I was gonna go out and buy another phone before I came to my senses and decided to spend the money canceling my contract with tmobile. Don't buy this phone who ever you are. Don't buy it used. Don't buy it new, don't even take it for free, and most especially don't pay for insurance because its a ****ing scam.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] eep02b:
So I was searching for a replacement case because I'm really unhappy with my poetic slim case. I was searching on Overstock and came across this swivel case, and im in love. I've seen one similar for the ipad, but did not know one existed for the transformer. It leaves access for all ports, has a hard plastic back covered with that fake leather type feeling material. The transformer can rotate 360 degrees in the case as well as stand. The case does not add much bulk, but protects all sides, screen, and back. It closes with an elastic strap. I'm really happy with this new case!
