I know what you mean by the "dents." I put the screen protector on my wifes EVO and same think. There is little "dents" all over it. I admit it does look and feel nice other than that.

I am just not digging the carbon fiber feel. I am going to email them and see if they will at least do a warranty and let me get the clear one as opposed to a replacement carbon fiber. If not guess I'll do a warranty and ebay it. I just can't stop ocd'ing over the feel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cid`:
how's the actual texture feel? tacky or smooth? I have the regular clear ghost armor and find that if my hands are a bit oily or not clean, it tends to slip out of my hands.. when I first put it on it felt tacky/would not slip, but now it is..

for you diy guys out there you can just buy the 3m di-noc tape which is the exact same thing and cut out your own using any design you want and for $20 you can get enough to do a 2-3 phones. i did this for my atrix and it was very easy to do and looked great check out the pics in this thread. the OP in that thread even put it on the front of the phone. its very easy to work with just use a heat gun to get around corners and cut with a small scissors or find a way to make some stencils to get the exact shape. this is what i did, used some masking tape to make the outline then cut it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crazypinoy9:
I wonder if it's possible to order one without the cutout for the logo...i think it makes the back look cheesy.

How big of a sheet of carbon fiber do I need for a custom installation for the galaxy nexus??

I've scratched the extended battery cover so ... instead of buying a new one I just applied some 3M "carbon fiber like" sticker (for automotive use). This is what came out. In my opinion is better looking than the Ghost one :).

Awesome review. Great photos as well.

I stress with GNex covers. It's already a fairly large phone. Anything too bulky makes it feel wrong in my opinion.

Ghost Armor

Today, I just went to a local mall to talk with the ghost armor reps. And they had the carbon fiber in different colors. I went with the white carbonfiber, but felt the sides didn't feel right. Looked somewhat tacky also because it wasn't a smooth cut all around. It was like stickers taped around the phone...They offered to get me the clear sides instead and will have to go back in a few days. The screen protector is actually cut for the phone and looks clean. It feels smooth with little resistence, and seems like it could take a few beatings. I have some pics enclosed below.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colemanimal:
The backing has the 3M logo printed on it if you look at it and i think they laser cut the shapes in Arizona. Where are you getting this information?

Hi all! I got my GNex a year ago and immediately had a GA screen protector installed. It had served me very well and I must say I'm very impressed.

I was still frustrated by the added bulk of most TPU cases that hid the clean lines of the phone that I considered going for the GA CF sticker/decal. Read and looked online of various reviews, including this thread, so I decided to give it a try. One thing I noticed among the photos here is the annoying cutout at the back showing the Samsung logo. I'm sorry, I find that aesthetically jarring. At this point I already got a gift certificate from GA that I was planning to use for a white CF, but I really wasn't sure of that damn cutout.

I went to a kiosk this morning, and found to my pleasant surprise that all CF of various colours did not have the Samsung cutout (I live in Vancouver, Canada). Elated, I had the guy install the white, and it really looks neat. The sticker feel takes a moment to get used to, but I'm loving it! Pics below.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Do you find the side pieces peel up? I'm planning on getting the carbon fiber applied to my phone to spice it up a little bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marziepants:
I was actually worried that might happen, but they stayed put. It's been like almost a month, and the sides haven't peeled. It does feel like the edges have that thick sticker quality, but I got used to that very quickly, and I'm quite happy how it held up.

Now I'm looking at other skins from Decal Girl and Gelaskins -- I easily get bored with white!

I love having Swype installed on my RAZR but I like the BETA version because they keep adding more and more cool features. The newest includes Dragon Dictate which really works great! It also now learns your writing style and improves it's predictions.

Problem is if you have Swype pre-installed on your phone you can't install the new BETA, until now.......

Here are the directions to remove your stock Swype and install the BETA:

** warning - changing the wrong files can brick your phone so be careful! **

First, your RAZR must be rooted.

Using Root Explorer:

1. Change your default input method to anything other than Swype.

2. Mount file system as R/W

3. Delete (or move/rename) \system\app\swype.apk

4. Delete (or move/rename) \data\dalvik-cache\system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex

5. Delete (or move/rename) \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so

6. Reboot

7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer

If you get FC's after installing Swype BETA then remove Swype and the Swype Installer under Manage Apps, re-boot and install the BETA again. Seems to be some stuff left over from the old version that can cause this problem.

Enjoy!

I am getting the force closes, but under manage apps, I only see uninstall the Swype Installer. Where do I uninstall the actual Swype app from?

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

I guess another question I have is what's the difference between this and the FlexT9 keyboard. It has Swype and Dragon Diction by Nuance built in, correct?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Godswrath:
Did you ever figure out how to uninstall it? I'm stuck at the same place,ie FC's after following the installation steps

EDIT: Do anyone having the same issue...

FIX: Move or Delete the 3 files (Renaming did NOT work for me- caused FCs)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
I did this previous to this post and I just removed the swype apk in system\app and com.swype??.inputmethod stuff in data, didnt touch dalvik cache or the lib.so stuff. I think if you change you keyboard method away from swype and delete the apk(in system\app and if its in data\app too", clear the swype data and even dalvik perhaps, then install the new swype.

All manually of course with es explorer or capable root file explorer.

I want reopen thread about Sony Bravia Engine working on Galaxy S2!

First, I want say thanks to GadgetCheck that opened old thread that was closed.

Second I want say that it isn't PLACEBO EFFECTS as someone told.

Difference is low, but difference THERE IS and BRAVIA POSTPROCESSING WORKS!! (I compared 2 galaxy s2, with the same firmware, same kernel, same condition, same photo..before screens was indentical, after that I have patched one, I've seen DIFFERENCES! Yes, is not too much, but image is sharper)

Third I want explain that this software postprocessing IS NOT RELATED TO HARDWARE, but use ONLY CPU TO APPLY IN REALTIME SOFTWARE ALGORITHMS (doesn't use any hardware acceleration and for this reason can be used on galaxy s2)

For this reason I paste instruction from old topic:

Introduction

Sony Bravia Engine provides DHD HQ IMAGE & MOVIE Quality Improvements!

it was first ported to the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 via zdzihu And its almost the same procedure for the SGS2 also so thanks to his main thread the procedure lmost remains the same with slight variations.

Benefits

IT's A Post-Processing Engine, so you can view the improvements only on your phone's screen.

Requirements

Android Gingerbread 2.3.x

At least 5MB free on /system

Instructions

For the time being this is for developers and advanced users only,

So i will provide CWM packages for my ROM only!

Download Sony Bravia Engine File Pack:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/checkrom/files/Bravia/Bravia_Engine_Files_SGS2.zip/download

Extract the two files inside the Downloaded file (be_movie & be_photo) and place it in /system/etc

Now you need to edit the build.prop of your ROM

so Open /system/build.prop and add

#Sony Bravia Engine Service

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

That's done, Now Save the file.

Now here is the tricky part a.k.a setting the correct permissions of the files

Here are the file permissions

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/etc/be_movie");

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/etc/be_photo");

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/build.prop");

So that means,

Permissions should be(Reminder the permissions are the key here if you don't use this it wont work!)

be_movie- 0755

be_photo- 0755

build.prop- 0755

To set this permission you can use root explorer and set all permissions or install a terminal and digit:

su

busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo

busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_movie

busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_photo

busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_movie

busybox chmod 0755 /system/build.prop

busybox chown 0.0 /system/build.prop

That's it

NOW REBOOT AND ENJOY!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paradoxxx:
Man, did you even read the line in the build.prop that you're adding?

Do our S2 have swiqi service?

No.

So, those lines:

o.service.swiqi.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

Are useless. And doesn't do anything.

As long as be_movie and photo. These are just for different mode of the bravIa engine, when its loaded with swiqi service.

This have been said one hundred billion times, why getting back on this?

Having a strange issue with my email on my galaxy nexus. I can open any folder except "sent" it just flashes loading on the screen and takes me back to the folder list. I deleted and readded plus tried wiping.

Email app is better but definitely needs some work... deleting messages does some down right annoying stuff especially if you delete massive amounts at one time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deekjx:
I use the exchange sync with multiple accounts and I have zero issues viewing my sent mail. I have several folders and I can view them all as well. I'm not running a custom rom but I am rooted on the LTE version. I no longer delete my mail so I can't verify delete issues. Using exchanges archive feature. My companies policy is to keep 7 years of email. I average about 60 a day so it adds up. Only syncing the last month because of that very reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablospeed:
sounds like it is quite buggy... are you sure this isn't an issue with your device? i haven't seen any other reports like this, but it is very interesting.

Thanks for the reply. I too am lte and rooted. Maybe I'll wipe again.

**UPDATE**

Did a wipe of the phone (settings > backup / reset)

Came back up. Linked to google account. Linked to exchange account. Waited for everything to sync... went into the email app... hit folders.. hit sent... guess what? still broken, flashes loading on the screen the immediately takes me back to folder list.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mangala_Dharma:
Hi all! I really need a rom with fully-working camera, + fast, stable, bug-free, for adolescent daughter, so I ask your suggestions and your knowledge of this phone.

My own phone is Optimus p500, got it modded to my liking, etc. I got the Ace for the ado daugther in the house 2 days ago. She is a facebook, pictures and sms addict. No overclocking or games for her is needed. She needs a simple, stable, bug-free and fast rom. It needs to not bug or FC so she can impress her friends.. :-) Today I have read through many pages and threads of roms, and I had a quick look at what is available. Ics sunday and cm7.2 rc0 by lates would seems among the most promising available.

A working camera is definitely a must for her. If needed I could always get lg camera and try it, as suggested in some roms to see if I can get no dark videos and LED working. [ I'm wondering if camera gives trouble, nobody tried to get stock samsung camera ported? ] Is there a fail-proof, noob-proof 3rd party camera, or is it the LG one, or is there any rom fail-proof and noob-proof, stable, fast and bug-free? [ I realize nothing is noob-proof, but she need stable, fast, bug-free, a good camera with LED flash working, and facebook. ] If there is no bug-free camera rom I know she'd prefer the laggy stock rom because a working camera is essential for her. I'd hate it for her to be " stuck with stock " though.

Also, is there any roms, options or ways to get 3rd party apps to login using facebook credentials ? Most weird issue. Might be a deal-breaker on any rom for noob adolescent daughter.. :-)

Any suggestions? I believe you all know this phone way better than me. I could guide you for my own but I'll appreciate the tour guides for the Ace :-)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Stock ROM? :)

I

Srsly, the most [relatively] bug-free, stable ROM for the Ace would definitely be Samsung's own.

CM7 for Ace has some minor glitches and bugs ere and there, although its reportedly faster. But since your daughter is not too technical (based on my speculation of your description), having too many or too little options isn't a concern of hers.

You can try a custom stock ROM, of course. It (should have) the same stability, but smoother. The most well recieved custom stock ROM here might be fla.sh's X2, codeROM, and TheMyth ICS. But the first two are dead projects with no active developers.

This post was sent from hell.

Hey everyone!

So I flashed a ji6 tar through SGS kernel flasher to get 2e recovery. I think it managed to do so successfully because now I have CWM when I boot into recovery. HOWEVER, when recovery pops up it goes to the CWM screen and FREEZES! I cannot select any options including reboot system. I also now cannot startup my phone normally! What can I do? I have ODIN but it won't detect my phone when it's connected (tried this about 20 times). I'm running a mac so I guess there aren't very many options. The only way out of anything int his mess is to pull the battery. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! My phoen is now useless for all purposes. I tried factory reset, etc. On normal bootup my phone is stuck on the startup screen and never progresses past. Help please!
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
well odin doesnt run on mac.

search for heimdall. (same thing but for all OS) [PROGRAM] Heimdall - Open-Source Cross-Platform Flashing Suite ...

heimdall / odin use download mode not recovery, you know that right? hard to tell by your message.

or get VMware or another virtual machine and install windows. http://www.utorrent.com http://torrentz.eu/search?f=vmware http://torrentz.eu/search?f=windows+7
[Captivate General] NewbDroid:
THanks for the tips.

I've been using (or trying to) Odin in Download mode but it will not detect my device. Recovery in CWM freezes, 2e recovery leading to the CWM screen is fine but when I hit'reboot now' or startup regularly using the power button, it's stuck on the boot up logo page. But I'm investigating Heimdall hopefully that helps or I am totally at my wit's end! Been working on this for a couple hours using everything I can think of! (And Google and XDA forums of course!)
[Captivate General] NewbDroid:
Gave Heimdall a whirl, it just says failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer. HELP!!!

Any chance you have access to a Windows based system? I've never used Heimdall, so I can't help you there.

Are you 100% sure you're in Download mode? Yellow shovel guy. Were you using Odin with VMware Fusion or something similar? Try different USB ports if it's a G5 or something, doesn't apply if a Macbook.

Heimdall is open source and it works on all platforms...

It's BETTER!

I don't doubt that at all. I flash to stock so seldom now that using Odin once ever 3 or 4 months doesn't bother me.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
unfortunately i know nothing about heimdall, even though im the one that suggested it. studa! help a man out! i gave you your 900
[Captivate General] studacris:
here is a link to a 1 click heimdall package, which also has a prerooted version i suggest you get that as this a transitory os and rooting is part of the process of getting 2e recovery WITHOUT flashiing a stock kernel that will make your phone unbootable.

if you have connection issues refer to THIS THREAD

once that is completed, refer to THIS THREAD to MANUALLY replace 2recovery.

then to make sure it wasn't a wonky cwm file you had that made it freeze(actually now that i think about it you could use adb to push this to the root of /mnt/sdcard FIRST to see if its the cwm file. adb should work in recovery) grab the attached update.zip
[Captivate General] ashok.antony:
Had a similar situation and had to order the USB jig to get out of it. It is pretty easy to make or if you want an easy (and clean) option, order one. Once you have that, remove the battery, SIM and SD. Reinsert the battery and then insert the USB jig. It will go right into download mode and then from there use Odin to flash it back to stock.
