[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
As much as the new Nexus and its vanilla Android is tempting me I think I'd still rather have a screen made of Gorilla glass and the more future proof quad core processors. Seeing as though our current devs were able to get CM7 official by going around Samsung rather than waiting for them I assume circumventing Touchwiz on the GS3 might be a little easier. However I'm still kind of jaded by Samsung and their updates as well as not having a working GPS until a year into owning my phone.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Not a DEV but a themer (sort of) and am waiting for the GSIII. I don't want to get a dual core and have a quad core released the next day. Plus I don't think the GSII has LTE capability. There are rumors both ways.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
My GPS has always worked intill GB came out.

My HTC Evo Shift 4G However had a lock down and had GPS locks way faster than samsung haha.

HTC=Crap Software but good Hardware

Samsung= AMOLED, CRAP SOFTWARE, IFFY HARDWARE

AMOLED vs. Good Hardware hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
What? Its as follows:

Samsung

Great hardware, bad wireless connection hardware, iffy software.

HTC:

Good solid phones, meh hardware, good wirless connection harware, good software.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Making comparisons between my Samsung Epic 4G and my g/f's Evo Design 4G (which is 900x600 SLCD):

The hardware thing is mixed:

-Samsung AMOLED is a huge plus, no matter what people say about SLCD being similar, it's not.

-Samsung's processors are currently top-notch better than Qualcomm, though looking at their forward plans they're becoming stagnant in graphics power

-HTC's radios are infinitely better than Samsung. No PCS roam bug, and side-by-side my g/fs Evo Design gets better signal strength in her marginal-signal apartment (~6 db = a lot, that's 400% higher power). Samsung's antennas and amplifiers suck, big time.

-Samsung's cellular radio software sucks! A lot! They have great GSM, but absolutely piss-poor CDMA.

As far as software:

-HTC doesn't mess with the Android libs as much so they're easier to move to AOSP and make CM support.

-HTC is more prompt and less buggy on updates

-Samsung has Odin

Samsung GPS, while more buggy, is actually better than HTC. My g/fs Evo Design won't lock in her apartment, while mine will. Her's locks faster and more consistent outside though.

If HTC made a phone with AMOLED and Tegra3/Krait, I'd absolutely buy it. Otherwise, I'll probably reluctantly get a GS3.

Though, last word I heard is the Exynos won't be coming out for quite some time, and Samsung might launch a Tegra3 set in-between.

This shows the GS3 has having the Exynos 4212, which is merely a meagerly beefier version of the GS2 processor.

Other rumors say the GS3 will be quad-core.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
The only thing wrong here is about the HTC updates, they're updates are quicker more buggy usually and they hardly ever pull updates even if they're buggy. Samsung is quick to pull and fix they're updates, when it finally puts them out lol.

Hey guys I bought a replacement screen I found on Amazon and it came with everything and I have to.say I am so happy I have my phone back. I am amazed at how easy this was to do. Just search Amazon for it and look for the one with the tools

Plus it seems my touch screen is more responsive than before!

Well sorry if this was posted just wanted to share it with the G2x family. Unfortunately it did come with the T-Mobile branding since I use O2 in germany

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zaiden:
I created a petition to help get Gameloft to realize the frustration of owning a quad-core Tegra 3 device with no support from them. Please sign this and pass this along to as many people you can.

change.org/petitions/gameloft-support-asus-prime-tablet[/url]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] panda986:
I would thought this is only a matter of time until Tegra 3 is used in more and more tablets.

anyway, signed it as cannot see any harm getting support earlier.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ultradsa:
I agree with the petition but also feel that this devices popularity will trigger the big boy devs to get off their butts and toss out some support. It's not just Gameloft...much more wide spread then that and the support for apps for my Galaxy player 4.0 far surpasses my Prime.

What bums me even more is Popcaps lack of prime support....can the original transformer even play plants vs zombies yet? This is the only draw back of having something so new and I would imagine that ICS will make it a bit worse before it undoubtedly makes it better. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
Not that you don't have a valid point...but online petitions are retarded.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
tegra3 will be supported by gameloft, but the prime specifically needs to be supported by them, or else it will end up like the tf101 not being supported when other tegra2 tablets are.

i would rather just bombard them with emails/tweets/facebook posts over an online petition, they're far harder to ignore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bjfrank:
I can already see how online petitions are going to become a pain and be overused. Don't like something, create a petition. Petitions can definitely be a good thing and have proved it, but being online is going to make them almost too easy to do.

Give the developers time. The Prime is not even a month old. A lot of people haven't even got their preorders yet so how do you expect all the developers to have primes to test with? I wish Hulu already supported the prime, but I'm not going to go set up a petition and demand it right away. Be patient.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
this is a great idea as its better than no action taken at all. ill give Gameloft a lil bit of time since the Prime was just literally released. but can't wait to long or will fall into the same fate as OG transformer had. gameloft is really confusing. they could make games for Prime/tegra3 that would blow the other ones away. they really need to release this is a market they need tl get their paws into. if they don't do something soon, ill sign the petition also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
I recommend in addition to this petition, that we should all go to this link on the company's website and file a complaint/request that they support the Prime and Tegra 3 platform in all of their games.

GO HERE:

http://www.gameloft.com/support/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
Any chance you could fix the wording on that petition?

"We want support for the Asus Transformer Prime tablet. Your lack of Android device compatibility will no longer go be tolerated."

"We want support for the Asus Transformer Prime tablet. Your lack of Android device compatibility will no longer be tolerated."

Plus I think the harsh wording just goes to make the person reading the petition angry which lessens there chances of approval. just my .02.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
SAGE

Its not like they are intentionally breaking the games so they don't work on tegra 3. You have to give them time to tweak the code and make it all work.

Its no different then a new video card and a new PC game, sometimes it takes a bit to get it sorted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I'm sure they're not intentionally breaking the game but will they ever work on it? The original transformer is so far behind. It only has like 4 games for it. And they're the older ones like Sparta, Nova, Spiderman, I forget the other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
They dont need to tweak the code or do anything fancy. To support the prime they just need to edit 1 line of code.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gr4ybu5h:
But they also want to utilize what the prime has that no other tablet has.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
^ this

For all we know they are setting aside a high res pack.

Game devs don't usually like isolating customers. If we were talking about an obscure device that sold 1000 units it might be a write off, but this device is too wide spread. I'm sure it has already been discussed internally.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
I previously bought a few games from Gameloft, that are not currently installable on the Prime. So, I signed the petition. Abount and hour later I got an email from Gamestop.. a form letter, that was multilingual, asking me to provide details of the issue that I am experiencing.

Anybody else receive one of these emails, or did you guys use bogus email addys?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
**** man, I thought this was going to be a petition to get the GPS working, didn't think something as frivolous as getting games to support quad core.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
After what Gameloft has done with regard to the TF101, unless they make a game my other half is willing to sell me for, they are never going to make a red cent out of me, whether or not they make their games work on the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zaiden:
We are gaining some ground on this petition. This petition provides everyone an easy way to show support for their Prime. If they get enough signatures, it will help speed up the inevitable support for this tablet. Keep in mind, the TF101 STILL has no support, so signing this petition can only help the cause. Please help sharing the link so we get more signatures.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jmgustin:
I recently rooted my P999/G2x and installed CM7.1.0.1, and am extremely happy with it. Am looking to tinker just a *little* bit more, but have some questions... I have LOTS of answers on the forums, but am somewhat skeptical about the currency of some of the information out there (let's face it, stuff changes fast!). So, down to it:

Kernels:

- Did CM7 overwrite the stock kernel?

- I understand the benefits to changing the kernel; what about drawbacks?

- Does CWM back up your kernel with Backup and Restore? If not, how do you do this?

- Recommendations on a good, reliable kernel to use w/ CM7? I am looking at faux123's CM and morific's Trinity. Thoughts?

OC/UV:

- Can you OC on stock/CM7 kernel?

- What is the best app to manage OC/UV? I have my eye on setCPU, cpu Master, and Android Overclock (JRummy16)

- Any recommended settings for the G2x? Any settings to avoid? My plan is to incrementally adjust, but don't really have an idea as to where to start.

Thx in advance!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e4e5nf3nc6:
- Did CM7 overwrite the stock kernel?

Yes

- I understand the benefits to changing the kernel; what about drawbacks?

Since not all the chips are made in the same way, you could soft brick your phone if you try to flash an undervolted kernel. This is the way mine is, and it's somewhat irritating but not all that bad using the stock voltage and overclocking to around 1.4ghz rather than 1.5ghz+. Also, battery life should be expected to be less with an overclocked CPU. It's up to you to decide how you want to run your device.

- Does CWM back up your kernel with Backup and Restore? If not, how do you do this?

Yes, backup creates an image of the entire thing. Before you start making changes, always make a backup so you can revert to previous settings should you soft brick your device. Make a backup, clear cache/dalvik, flash the kernel and reboot the phone. First boot times will always be a little longer when flashing a kernel, so be patient and don't pull your battery right away. For me personally, if it hasn't done anything noticeable after about ten minutes, I pull my battery. Reboot into recovery and restore from the backup you made. If you started off trying an undervolted kernel, time to try the standard voltage now!

- Can you OC on stock/CM7 kernel?

No, and you'll be able to tell once you flash CM7 and use SetCPU (or whatever you use) and see the max is still at 1ghz.

- What is the best app to manage OC/UV? I have my eye on setCPU, cpu Master, and Android Overclock (JRummy16)

Personal preference. I think probably SetCPU is used by most people including myself.

- Any recommended settings for the G2x? Any settings to avoid? My plan is to incrementally adjust, but don't really have an idea as to where to start.

If you want to be safe just start out at 1ghz. If you have no random reboots with your kernel then move it up to 1.1 or 1.2 and see if it's stable there. Personally, I just went ahead and overclocked to 1.4ghz. For the most part people don't really have problems with this I guess. The problems usually lie in whether or not you are undervolted and by how much. If you find your device can run an undervolted kernel, I would just leave the undervolt settings the way they are. As I said, I can't run OC/UV and have to use SV, so I never touch any of the voltage settings.

Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] h22aboi:
Using eagle blood (cm7 based) with faux kernel.

I heard trinity kernels may have random reboot but don't quote me on that.

Try faux kernel with oc/uv. Its very good, latest is 0.48. But if you go with the ds version (debaouch?) The battery percentages are all over the place... Lol one minute its 50% the next it may be 34%...

Use set cpu. I've uv additional 25mv across the board with no I'll effects. Screen off profile at 503 mhz max and some other profiles will have you getting 24hours easily with normal usage.

Make sure test it out before you "set on boot"...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] chillwill11:
Trinity ELPmax with Phoenixblood is the best combo. Trinity batterylife is amazing. When i leave the house my phones battery is 100%. 11 hours later (I when i make it home) my battery is always under 60% but never less then 40%. I play music as soon I leave the house, and till I get in the house. I also turn of data when not using and have setscpu set to 900mhz max and screen off profile set to 432 max 216 min.

Just my personal results
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maxesxp:
+1 to everything you said

just to add if you want to over clock then go with faux or trinity. the cm7 kernel is faster then both @1000mhz, if speed is what your looking for without the dangers of oc. The stock cm7 kernel also lacks the ability to under volt soo battery life might not be as good though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] h22aboi:
Format data/ factory reset.

Wipe all cache.

Format system. (don't forget)

Flash cm.

Flash kernel.

It may take a while for the system to boot, 5 min. Let it load, and reboot, enjoy.

Okay ladies and gents I think we need a pic thread about our collections. I'll work on getting my collection pic up in a bit but I know some of you have more than just one tab or one phone, so lets see the family all together.

I'm debating about possibly trying to collect each Samsung tab (7.0, 7.0 Plus, 7.7, 8.9, 10.1 lol).

No rhyme or reason why. Thought this would be a fun thread though.

To make it even more interesting, tell us what OS and ROM you're running on each device and if you want to dive deeper into the topic, tell us what you like/don't like about each.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
As long as your machine supports hardware virtualization, which is to say that your VM can directly access your hardware, like USB ports etc. then you should be fine. In other words, if when you plug in your Note, and your VM detects new hardware and starts installing the drivers, and you're able to open ADB to your device successfully, then you're good to go.

Hi all

Thanks to those who replied :) though it would be nice if the post was fully read first... for example, I cannot just connect the phone and copy its content via USB!

Here's the problem:

- phone screen is smashed and shows nothing

- phone still powers up though

- it is not rooted

- it has data on its internal memory that I want to copy

- it has pattern lock activated

- computer (MS Vista OS) recognises a USB devise is logged in, but it doesn't read it as a drive, and KIES just idles... no doubt because I would need to change the phone settings, which I can't do with a smashed screen.

QUESTIONS:

- How can I access phone contents to copy them? (repair shop wants $220)

- I was told using ADN....

I installed SDK Tools but how do I start ADN?

Many thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
the easiest way might be connect to your computer and copy the contents of the internal sdcard if your computer sees the phone.

If you wan to use odin, use file dump to dump the contents of your phone i believe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
I'm quite the noob when it comes to adb scripting, but I believe that

- start a command line within the directory where ADB executable is located

- type in "adb usb" and it should connect to your phone

- then type "adb pull /mnt/sdcard/* X:\path-to-directory\"

commands without parentheses... I hope it will work :)
