[Motorola Droid RAZR] Master_of_AV:
for my droid raza(xt912 , stock rom 4.1 9820-72_vzw-16) , the call recorder can automatically record the incoming call , but in most cases , the outgoing call can not be recorded automatically , while sometimes it did(if it recored the outgoing call , it started at the wrong time ). I think the call recorder missed the time when the outgoing call begins , it wait and wait .... so missed to recorded ....

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

for the outgoing call , the call recorder can record the outgoing call manually (by press the record button )

btw, there are no droid raza option can be selected in call recorder settings , i chose droid bionic
[Motorola Droid RAZR] williamlaw:
I have followed your settings and tried to use on CM10.2 but failed. Any reason ??

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Michealbrow:
I found the call recorder called Androrec

Works well on the droid razr without anything else being installed. The incoming call volume is not very loud but audible enough

Hello,

I have just bought Xoom and selling my IPad 2

However, I found it abit unfinished OS and hard to find things around.

How do I disable my xoom scanning all internal memory and SD card folders and let it scan only Pictures and Videos folders?

Is there an app to lock other apps? Tried privacy guard, but doesn't seem to work on the xoom?

Is there a way to create folders on screens?

Is there a way to have the Xoom charging when connected to usb?

thanks
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Hi, and welcome to the Xoom community here. I'll tackle the last two questions.

As for making folders (and generally having the smoothest scrolling experience on the Xoom) I would suggest you get the ADW Launcher EX. You can also customize it like crazy. Anyway, the newest version previews the upcoming Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS's launcher, but ADW is always better than stock. Folders are easy to make (too easy, imho) and lots of resizable widgets, too.

About charging from USB...no go. The Xoom has two powerful Lion batteries that would charge way too slowly via USB. On the other hand, it takes almost no time to fully charge the Xoom from zero with the wall charger, and it holds a charge for a good long time, depending on how you use it (mainly screen brightness eats up the charge).
[Xoom General] burden010:
If you are talking about stopping a particular folder from showing up in the gallery, you can use a file browser such as ES File Explorer or Astro to either rename the folder to start with a full stop (that's a period for you 'Merkins ;)) or create a new file in the folder with the name of ".nomedia" (without quotes).

Alternatively, if you download QuickPic (a Gallery alternative) it has settings within the app which allows you to choose which folders you want to show up.

Hope this helps.
[Xoom General] Android300ZX:
In my opinion I use Go Launcher. It's awesome and has tons of customizations. It's free in the Market so there's no need to worry. ADW is a paid app. I own almost all the mainstream launchers and I stick with Go Launcher on my SGSII and Xoom.

You can create folders with Go Launcher by dragging an app on top of another (Example: Fieldrunners on top of Tetris and then rename it to Games).

Don't go by reviews to much in the Market because not everyone has the know how or patience on spending the time it takes to customize the screen to his/her liking.

Good luck.
[Xoom General] shemeri:
I tried LauncherPro and it seems to be okay! Is ADW Launcher EX much better?

I would say here the IPad wins. It does charge from USB when IPad not in use, simply by having the display off. This is an advantage since I don't want to carry my charger with me if I want to charge. These tablets use standard usb port, so it would be easy to get. Having one at work, home, friends have etc..
[Xoom General] shemeri:
I tried the .nomedia file but it simply didn't work! I tried it in the root of my unwanted image files, but they keep coming. So the .nomedia solution is not working which I would say it is best!

Having a period for in front of a folder name, would hide the folder from listing unless I show all hidden folders/files.

If I use QuickPic, does it then do the trick for the Gallery app too??

Why isn't there just a simple solutions just like my phone, where it is possible to hide unwanted folders from the scanner :-(
[Xoom General] shemeri:
I will give it a try :-)

thanks
[Xoom General] burden010:
Not sure why the .nomedia file didn't work. To be fair I always use the folder rename option so I don't think I've actually tested this.

QuickPic will, unfortunately, only govern it's own settings. :(
[Xoom General] shemeri:
I dont know :-(

If it is generally doesnt work with .nomedia or only me?
[Xoom General] laredo7mm:
You might have to restart your Xoom, or find another way for it to refresh its database of what is supposed to be visiable and what isn't.

I seem to remember having the same issue after adding the .nomedia file, and a restart fixed it.
[Xoom General] Humpie:
Great choice buying a xoom and selling your ipad:-D .

I'm also getting a xoom soon :p (although i didnt have an ipad)
[Xoom General] deeman:
Hi I will be getting a xoom in the next couple days too im just seeing if the price will drop after crimbo, just a little question how do you find the weight of this device as it seemed a little heavy when I had a little play in the shops.
[Xoom General] burden010:
No question that the Xoom has a bit more heft to it than some other tablets but tbh, I haven't found it a factor. I actually think it's reassuring, the transformer, for instance, feels a bit flimsy to me.
[Xoom General] shemeri:
Well I did try to start my xoom but you did not help. I also tried to clear gallery app data and cache,nsame thing,nit just read them again.
[Xoom General] shemeri:
Yeah, just sold my ipad so I will never go back to ipad, hated that I didnt have control at all.
[Xoom General] boyzie:
Yes but the iPad is very slow to charge even with a wall charger compared to the xoom,and the usb charge for the ipad is just a trickle charge i'm sure.
[Xoom General] ajkermode:
^^ True that!

Im brand new to the zooom but the charge time is amazing, I was worried about the charger size but it charges so quickly Id rather carry that then the iPads USB wire.

Id also agree with another bloke who said it to use Go Launcher - I've yet to install it on the Xoom but its great on my HTC Sensation!
[Xoom General] shemeri:
It right, the ipad charger is an apple charger but smaller than the one used in xoom. It can be faster to charge the xoom but the ipad do last longer than the xoom. The screen is brighter in the ipad.

I am not trying to make the ipad best but just trying to be fair in comparison :-)

I still prefer xoom over ipad even I can see that ipad lasted longer in one full charge.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Fair enough, but there are ways you can make your charge last longer...if you're rooted you can set cpu profiles and you can even undervolt.
[Xoom General] shemeri:
Mine is not rooted, but what advantages do I gain when rooted apart from setting cpu profile?

Mine last at most 2 days but my ipad lasted for more than 4 days same usage.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
There are a few fairly recent threads discussing the virtues of rooting (or not) so all I will say is that it's the only way way to truly own your device.
[Xoom General] adesonic:
I just swapped my iPad 1 for my sisters xoom, only thing annoying me so far is slow scrolling on web pages (eg Xda) the scroll is very stuttering and the xoom cookie slow to render the content as I scroll down. Any way to improve this?

Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
[Xoom General] Android300ZX:
Go to XDA and at the bottom change it from XDA 2010 to XDA Classic. It also will help in the keyboard lag. Hope that helps.
[Xoom General] theoner1:
yes this is one solution, another is to use Opera mobile. That browser can handle XDA new 2010 format quite well.
[Xoom General] adesonic:
Setting plug ins (I.e. flash) to on demand seems to help a lot.
[Xoom General] shemeri:
Agree, browser experience compared with ipad is not best. Not only xda website, but in general.
[Xoom General] sodaboy581:
Install Opera Mobile browser. Works much better than the stock Honeycomb one.
[Xoom General] M_Cheevy:
The problem you're having with the .nomedia. file having no effect may be related to Google automatically backing up the pictures to your account. Try backing up your collection and putting the .nomedia file in the folders you don't want scanned, then, when connected to the net, deleting the files you don't want appearing in the gallery. After restoring any files that you want locally, try reopening the gallery and see if that has made a difference.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dabuttrumpet:
I was on a 5 hour flight earlier today, and while I was on the flight I got bored with my nook so I started trying to figure out the different settings that anycut can create shortcuts to..... Beware don't do it. 2 of them did nothing because of an error, and the last one I did said "you do not have permission" then my nook rebooted and erased most everything...

Except, the hacker keyboard was there, the search button said it was not installed, and I couldn't use the unroot.apk because I no longer had superuser access.

Doing the 8 failed boot attempts got me back to square 1, and I also figured out how to bypass the out of box experience. I didn't have wifi and it also bypassed my registering my nook.

FYI: to bypass at the factory startup screen, hold volume up and tap the lower left then the lower right hand sides of the screen in that order... A button will show up that says factory, click it and then hold the volume up and tap the lower right hand side of the screen. Another box will appear then you can click "skip oobe".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
This will probably halve your battery life (which should be 8hrs+ with wifi, 10 without).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dabuttrumpet:
what will halve my battery life? not registering?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I believe one person (at least) had this experience and the general belief is that not registering caused some B&N service to constantly run in the background. If you see otherwise, please let us know.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dabuttrumpet:
Is there an app that I can run to view to monitor this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SteelH:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjmohit:
This is AWESOME! How did you discover this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
I thought we have successfully debloat all the bn svc, didn't we? It's kinda moot since the ota seems to not care if you have registered or not.

On another note, i noticed the owner and account name in my settings menu changed to "unavailable" after i debloat. Anyone has any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dabuttrumpet:
I was desperate on the flight because now I didn't have anything to play with.

When my device originally reset, the oobe was giving me errors because I had deleted the devicemanager.apk to hopefully stop updates. But doing so made it impossible for me to get past the registration screen because necessary files were missing.

Did a google search on my iPhone while on the plane to figure out how to get past the startup registration and wifi process
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Well you can just time battery usage and watch it go down, but yeah there are various battery programs to track it (betterbatterystats etc). It's not "a little bit" - it's almost halved. Sure, go test it and report back. More data points are always useful :)
[Xperia Play General] lyricalchaos:

[LG Optimus Black] johnnyslt:
Nobody is working on porting MIUI for OB.
[LG Optimus Black] JasonQMe:
We people in China apply to MIUI for OB'S MIUI rom.And the result will come out on 2012-01-01.You can go to MIUI website and vote.

Official miui support is on it's way

duh!!!!...no 1 needs to PORT MIUI!!!!....MIUI is going to OFFICIALLY support our phone....check the attachment for proof :)
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
\o/ cool !
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
is it for real? few weeks ago they said they are focusing on MIUI v4 right now. But they didn't say no :p

[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
I hope they didn't lie, afaik OB is quite popular in China.
[LG Optimus Black] york824:
I'm from China and afaik there will not be an official port of miui. Maybe some people are working on an unofficial port but so far I haven't seen any news about it.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
actually they have confirmed me more than one occasion that they are working on it.

i think all of us should post on their FB profile. MIUI is regular at FB post and replying.

here are the two links: get a go and either post or support/comment a post that's asking for a MIUI of black.

http://www.facebook.com/myMIUI

[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Yeap i've asked em too about six months ago and the answer was "we're on it" and "we are focusing on v4 right now" but until now even alpha version not available.

Many new devices got the port already. Also i read somewhere in China forum, one member said miui china will release it by spring. They skipped gingerbread to v4... just a rumor. Damn a can't find that site it's bbsfan or gfan something. :p

Can you please check those site i mentioned above? It's a China site. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Well, I am on a low pay job, and with school and everything it is difficult to save as a university student. Anyway, over the year k have managed to save about $600 and I'm really thinking about either getting a new phone, or buying a tablet. I still have my EVO and it works fine, however I really like the epic 4g touch... Then again I also love a good tablet, but right now I'm leaning more towards the phone. Is there something I should wait for my 2year upgrade (in may) for, or should I dish out the money for the epic touch/tablet? I'm free for recommendations and also reasons on why I should get that specific stuff. Everyone knows the EVO has the best xda community, let's keep it that way. We don't need flaming, arguing, or iPhone lovers.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] atapia984:
In my case I am hoping Sprint carries the Nexus Galaxy. I am due for an upgrade in April. Maybe go for a tablet if you really want one (Transformer Prime?) and keep saving for a new phone. Good Luck.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G General] Isubbie:
be careful with the tablets from sprint, most of them are not unlimited bandwidth, so I would spend your money on a phone.

If you want to save money, and you have a family plan just add a new line, you won't pay but more than $10 extra dollars a month, and have a new phone at a much lower cost. Which if you do the math actually saves you a lot of money doing it this way. Yeah you'll have a line with no phone on it, or you can put your evo on it and give it to a friend/family member and get some money every month.

I shelled out $500 for a phone out of contract once, and I will never do it again. You usually feel like the pne getting shaffted in the end. Especially when I had to send it back to tmobile multiple times because of the ECC chip being defunct. (partly why I switched to sprint)

Of course you're call, but just something I've noticed.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
That's some great advice. Is there any phone on Sprint that I should wait for that would be better than the epic 4G Touch?
[EVO 4G General] bandagraph:
My GF just got a 4g Epic Touch. I have had an Evo since launch. I also have an Asus Transformer and have had an HP Touchpad.

If you like to mod and root, the touchpad is a good option if you can find one at the $99/$150 price point (which you probably can't). If not, I wouldn't bother with it. I sold mine for a profit and the only thing i miss about it is the aspect ratio. I preferred the taller screen in landscape when browsing the internet and viewing my computer desktop compared to the transformer.

The transformer is nice. Don't pay over $300 dollars for it. I bought from best buy for $300...it was a brief price drop, but I suspect it will become the permanent price soon enough. If you want a tablet it's a good option...others are too. Don't buy the dock unless you need epic battery or REALLY want to use the trackpad rather than touching the screen. Cheap bluetooth keyboards work fine otherwise.

As far as the Epic 4g Touch - In my time with it, I know several things.

I HATE samsung's android skin

I had to spend several hours on XDA to get the GPS to work at all.

The screen is amazing

It has a bigger footprint than the Evo...make sure it fits in your pocket

If you plan on modding it, the first one obviously doesn't matter that much. I considered upgrading at the same time she did. Now that i've spent some time with her phone, I'm glad I didn't. It just isn't a big enough upgrade. The screen is great, but the hardware isn't that much quicker in day to day life. If you want it for gaming, perhaps a tablet is the better option.

I've read some articles that Sprint will be releasing an LTE phone middle of 2012. Having lived in two Wimax markets, I think wimax sucks. I don't want to be locked into a contract on wimax when LTE comes out, so I will be waiting until then to upgrade.

Edit: Also, I don't know why you would buy a 3g/4g tablet and pay for data. Just buy a wifi and tether it to your evo.
[EVO 4G General] MakeMeFibonacci:
Sprint will be going LTE by late next year. Personally, I'd wait to use my upgrade credit for that.

I've always had problems with GPS on Samsung phones. In my opinion, the EVO is the best phone Sprint has right now besides the Motorola Photon. Sure, it's not as powerful as the EVO 3D or the EVO design, and it doesn't have the Super AMOLED screen that the Nexus S has, but I like the large screen and the Sense interface.

Of course, with all things like this, that is my personal preference. YMMV.
[EVO 4G General] sharkboy0901:
I say you wait it out man I feel like 2012 phones are gonna awsome just look at the galaxy nexus. I'm sure the other phone manufacturers are going to step up there game also plus sprint is going LTE soon so I would wait
[EVO 4G General] bakarus:
If you are really in dire need to upgrade I would buy on market place from reputable members, found a great deal on my evo and soon to be ns4g. You can sell your evo to balance the cost. That way you don't waste your upgrade and by the time lte hits you will be able to use your upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] Nick N:
Keep your Evo 4G and use WiFi tether on a Evo View 4G tablet. The 32gb new in box has been $219 shipped recently and does not require activation. I bought a 16gb Flyer for my daughter, the scribe pen is awesome!

New! Version 1.05 now includes code and settings from the UCKK4 source release. In theory, it should provide better battery life.

==========

For those who prefer an I9000 ROM but have a taste for Corn, here is the answer...

XWJW1 reoriented I9000 kernel with custom CwM 5, init.d, root, custom boot animation support, fully working nandroid, rfs/ext2/ext4 formatting, multiple tweak options, Voodoo color, Voodoo sound, BLN, 1200MHz oc and more! Compatible with JVS - JW1 ROM's.

And... Audience chip support! (Big thanks to TRusselo for the I896 GB source which originally made this possible.)

Update: The catch? You will need to use an I897 modem... there is a conflict between the I9000 modems and the Audience chip.

Reformatting functions are contained in a new custom-modified CwM Recovery. Ext4, Ext2, and RFS formatting options are available for /system, /data, /dbdata, and /cache together and individually. Su / Superuser installation is available from within Recovery for un-rooted ROMs. Kernel tweaks are also available from within Recovery, as well as support for init.d scripts and sysctl.conf.

You can flash this over any supported partition scheme.

You might want to back-up and remove any shell scripts you have in your /system/etc/init.d folder until you have flashed this and can verify that they

are compatible and/or needed.

Version 1.05

- Added missing vibrator module

Version 1.04

- Incorporated code and settings from UCKK4 source code.

- Low memory killer and SD card read-ahead settings now available in Recovery.
