Is there an app or widget that will show me what files are located in a folder? For example I have a folder called DOCUMENTS. I want a widget that will allow me to scroll through the files in the folder, pick a file and open it in one of the Office apps. I know I can go to a File Manager app and hit a few directories and get it that way I am but just looking for a short cut to a specific folder.

I am ONLY looking for a single folder that I have my project files in for work.

Here is an app that kind of does what I am looking for (searches the SDCARD for predefined files) but doesn't work on ICS as I tried it.

Hi,

Just coming from my galaxy s epic 4g touch which was pretty good on battery.. I know roms and kernels could fix that issue with the galaxy nexus cdma which isn't so good..

Which of you tested out a few kernels/Roms and found great battery life when putting the galaxy through it's paces?

I actually love love the phone but the darn battery kinna sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Welcome :). I also left Sprint and the E4GT. I love this Nexus. The 720p display is so awesome. And official ICS is a major upgrade for the Android OS.

But sadly the battery life is nowhere near what I was running with Calk's ROM + ICS theme. I could go 40 hours easily on light use. And get 12 - 14 hours on heavy days with tons of use, 5 hours display time.

I put the Nexus in the middle for battery life. My old but awesome EVO 4G sucked battery life like a vampire. With heavy use maybe 5-6 hours and light use was maybe almost a full day.

The Nexus seems to be in the middle, for sure way better than the EVO 4G, but not as good as the Galaxy SII, for battery life.

I think with ICS being so fresh, and the Nexus GPU new too, it will take a few Google updates and revised ROM's to really extend battery life close to the SII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Get the extended battery, can maybe add 2 hours extra life. Turn off LTE if you don't need it, 4G sucks battery pretty good.

As far as ROM's + kernels, there are some really good ones out there.

- Android Revolution HD

- AOKP + Franco kernel

- Operation Code Name

Many others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stepinmyworld:
Thanks for replying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naturalstamina:
Ive tried aokp w/ stock, francos, imo

to be honest, i have not tested the IMOs fully, as an update was just released and i decided to flash with jakebites mod.

I am not a battery stats crazy guy, but i can say that both francos and imo are great so far, improvement in speed and battery life over stock.

I've heard people are getting great battery life with trinity's new kernel and if you are looking for stability, i hear its on heyitslou's defiant

I've found this list to be the most complete.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11617-gu...oms-kernels-tweaks-themes-radios-lte-edition/

I would like to hear your feedback on your experiences also, as there are just simply not enough hours in the day to try everything, just want to try the best. hope that helps...

... Done!

For me its quite an improvement because the browser doesnt load all the crap that is embedded on many websites!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I've personally used Adblock for a long time, but yeah, same idea. I plan on rooting my TP tonight, almost solely for ad blocking.

EDIT: Whoops. I use AdFree, not AdBlock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] js931:
i also used adblock, but adaway seems really nice and has more options. you should try it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
+1 to this or any other ad removing software.

When I rooted under HC, it was the first thing I installed after superuser.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
I'm agree that ads can be a pain.. but please think that those are part of how android developers who offers free apps in the market get some money for their work. I'm not saying no to do it, just Think about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I thought about... and then quickly rooted and installed AdAway.. and never thought about it again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Honestly, the ads are more of an issue in the browser for me, but I get your point. Personally, I regularly purchase the paid ad-free version of apps that I love rather than using the free version and removing the ads.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] js931:
ads in most android apps are ok i think, the ads on many websites are just ridiculous! i'm always shocked when looking at websites on a computer that doesnt have adblock installed, on some sites this great plugin makes the site at least readable!

i agree that app devs are suffering from those methods and i wish there was an app like adaway that blocked only browser ads, but there isnt (at least to my knowledge)....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
Hey folks, I'm rooted, have busybox, but am having trouble getting AdAway to work properly on my TFP. It ends up telling me that the Applying failed -- "Applying the hosts file to your system failed"

It tells me that I should try changing the target location of the hosts file, but I've tried both and nothing works. Is there a special/custom location to the target file?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I have seen this error several times, then it fixes hours later. I often think the server(s) that AdAway is pinging to get the host files are down or busy or overloaded or just not stout enough for the traffic so we get these errors. Try again later. I do, and it always works out.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

Some of the logic in here is funny... It is okay to block ads on the web - still taking money out of someone's pocket - but not as "cool" to block them on your phone because then a "dev" loses out. Please. Hypocrisy at it's finest. Someone on the web or a dev on a mobile device putting ads in the GUI are all open season and no one gets a pass any more than the other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] js931:
hmm dont know....for me it just worked (one button press)!

2 questions:

- do you have superuser installed?

- do other root apps work? (you can test root access with "ota root keeper")
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
If he is getting that error, he is properly rooted. He could not get that error without the app running and for the app to run, you need root.

It is not a root issue as I pointed out in the last page, I have seen this before numerous times, it is very much likely an error with the app getting access to the servers with the host files to download. Time has always fixed it for me. Saw it last night, today all worked fine.

Hello all!

I'm considering buying the SE Live Walkman phone, but just wondered if there are many custom ROMS available for it yet?

I have had a search but have only found threads based on rooting, and I noticed there isnt really a dedicated forum for it...

I am currently using Xperia X8 which came with 2.1 (stock), but I'm now running an almost perfect 2.3.7 ROM 'GingerDX' (Thanks to the MASTER Developer Doixanh)

It may sound funny but I will only get this phone if I can unlock/root/hack and flash the hell out of it. If no one is really focused on developing for this phone then I'll probably give it a miss.

Any respone would be greatful. Thanks

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abhishekcal:
I have wt19 i have not rooted it or not done anything new in it. Since i am new to android might be i am afraid. But since ur main dedication is towards the rooting and custom rom. U can easily do that on SE devices since SE is itself supporting the open source world. There is boot unlocking method on there official site.

Also i think the CM has also been realsed for the wt19.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] match_stick:
I was slightly weary about rooting and stuff at first but now I have a rooted X8 with custom kernel and it was surprisingly easy and haven't had anything go wrong.(maybe a few scares but nothing that couldn't be fixed) but now I'm looking for a cheap android with better processor plus I seen that the Live maybe also getting an official ICS update which is cool.

I think I will get this phone sometime soon.

thanks for replies

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellybrf:
i set my dad up with a nexus s 4g the other week. he already had an evo shift and used gv as his vm provider, but when i went to set it up on his ns4g it did not give me any options to keep his number. normally when i set it up the first screen asks me if i want to integrate my gv and sprint numbers, but gives me the option to skip it. the ns4g didnt, and after i set it up i even went in and disassociated the numbers via the web interface to make sure i didnt miss it but when i went to set up the app again it forced the integration.

i searched but didnt find anything, is this normal? im planning to get the galaxy nexus but keeping my gv and regular numbers separate is a must so this would be a deal breaker. thanks!

its called "World Flix".

this app lets you see NetFlix content all over the world at

a press of a button

that is pretty cool!

and it costs only 0.99$

all other options cost you money every month and that doubles the monthly pay for the NetFlix... =\

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mickg13:
I’ve been lurking here on XDA for over a year but I think this will be my first post. My wife preordered the prime for me for Christmas from Best Buy in November and I received it on December 27th. I also managed to get a dock from Newegg so I have both. I’ve had no real problems with mine other than a spot on the glass that presses down to the right of where the charger plugs in. I have been very happy with the device otherwise.

I was looking forward to getting ICS on the 12th and was surprised to get the prompt that an update was available a few days early. The tablet downloaded the update on its own, and then began prompting me to install it. But after hearing about earlier problems with the Honeycomb OTA updates I decided to check XDA first and see if anyone was having issues. And, well, you guys know the rest.

So, my question is this. My tablet has already downloaded the ICS update and keeps prompting me to install it, but I have been exiting out of it by hitting the back arrow instead of postponing it, so I have managed to not install ICS. I am kind of terrified to. What I am wondering is if ASUS releases a new (fixed) OTA update of ICS or other updates in the future will I be able to receive them since I have not installed this one? Should I go ahead and take my chances installing it or should I continue to stick with Honeycomb and wait? :confused: Thanks for reading.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I know my phone got 2 OTAs from Verizon/LG. Shipping firmware was V4, next was V6 and then V7.

You could only root on V4 so people weren't updating to V6 and we locked it out via the ROM. When V7 came it was for GingerBread so of course everyone wanted it. For us to get the V7 update we first had to update to V6 and then update to V7. Idk if the same will be true for the Prime especially in this case since this update has been pulled (I think). But it's something to go off of.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattykinsx:
What issues are you talking about?

There were issues with people that had rooted trying to update to ICS but besides that I haven't seen too many issues.

ICS runs great, much better than HC, on my Prime.

So, now that Sprint has announced that it's bringing the galaxy to its network, would it be possible to buy a Verizon branded one now and once the sprint version is released, flash it to a sprint PRL and activate it on their network? Or is the hardware different?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No.

Verizon LTE: 700mhz.

Sprint LTE: 1900mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
So... Both are carrier phones.

If you want freedom, don't buy a carrier-phone. You'd think that'd be obvious by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Please show us that option in the states unless we want to import.

No?

K.

Don't assume all users here are outside of the United States. It was a legit question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
I don't think sprint will activate non branded phones anymore.

Not to say its impossible, its not. It would work with 3g only though and the steps to get it on the network would likely be illegal (ESN cloning a current sprint device for starters) in addition to changing all of the APN settings etc.

Not going to happen, especially with sprint releasing the same device soonish, unless you do it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Huh? he clearly wasn't assuming the OP was outside of the United States, considering he was responding to a question about VERIZON and SPRINT. Yes the only way to go "carrier-less" is an import. Everyone has the option to import and run in AT&T, T-Mo, Simple, or other GSM regionals if they want. The argument shouldn't be "carrier phone" vs. "not carrier phone", but rather CDMA vs GSM, considering most ppl on XDA, even if they buy a "carrier phone", wouldn't mind unlocking it and moving it around. That's possible on GSM, not so much on CDMA (except certain cases like Sprint MVNO's).

Anyway... OP this was discussed in a very (VERY) lengthly thread about a month ago when the Verizon GN came out. Short answer? No, it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
How is importing it any different then running to the store and picking one up? Same phone, same warranty, same price. Yeah if something happens I have to send it to Clove, Handtec, Negri back to the UK...big deal.

But he's obviously a Sprint customer, and wasn't interested in importing a GSM version anyway.

I was under the impression that most users here were from the USA, judging by the mass influx since Verizon release. GSM seems to be the minority.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What I said stands. Unless you want to import, you cannot have a carrier free device.

The person I responded to said get a carrier-free device. The poster was talking Verizon vs. Sprint, which means LTE.

Its not possible to do. That was my point all along.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsekh501:
We don't know what LTE band its radio chip supports (other than the Verizon band), yet. But don't buy a Verizon Nexus just hoping that you can use it on Sprint in the future. Sprint LTE network won't launch until later this year, and by then you will have many more choices of ICS phones, and/or the price of Nexus may have lowered considerably.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
Not surprising given the GSM version's international availability. Maybe the Verizon users are simply more vocal...All I meant was that in the couple weeks since the Verizon version dropped the general section in particular has exploded, where it was far more quiet before. GalNex is available around the world on many carriers, yet every other thread mentions CDMA/LTE (exclusive to Verizon). Very out of proportion. Just an observation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandMstrBud:
Wait a minute, is the imported version capable of CDMA/LTE? Someone mentioned if you want a carrier free one then get an imported one. I was looking on eBay and in one I noticed it said it will work for AT&T/TMO 3/4G and LTE where available. I don't think this is the case but if it is someone fill me in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
LTE where available meaning in an LTE area they will sell you an LTE device. The UK version does NOT have LTE.

Also to the OP, no it won't work.

I've been toying with the AT&T Galaxy Nexus the past few days with different APN's and radio's. I'd love to hear about other peoples configuration. Let's try and keep this AT&T only for now.

Here are my findings so far:

Here in Oklahoma the best settings for me I've found are

"AT&T US HSDPA" aka "phone apn" with the UGKK7

I find that the best radio/baseband is the UGKK7, I get the best battery life and GPS lock with this, also a more consistent download speed in the Speedtest app. I find the most constant speeds come from the Comcast servers in Houston, Little Rock and Memphis.

The 410 APN and the new Korean radio KRKL1 give me the second best results. Battery drained faster but I also had a higher signal strength with this radio and a most constant upload speed

I also like the "AT&T US HSDPA" with the UGLK1 radio , I hit my highest download speeds with this configuration. Nothing significantly higher, but just slightly, almost hit 8 mbs with this a few times. The others usually give a low to mid 7 mbs connection.

I had the original 410 APN and XXKK6 on my phone the first month and didn't have any problems, GPS was a slow to lock with this radio, and I had inconsistent downloads/uploads but never had too many call drops or signal issues.

Post your results, hopefully we can find the best setup since AT&T isn't going to release this phone for awhile

[T-Mobile LG G2x] androidlove91:
Gustavo: For the moment no I am afraid. That would actually be up to the carrier, they call the shows on updates. You see; software comes from Google but it has all carrier specifications and restrictions and service actually come from the carrier. LG’s role was to develop the phone hardware for the carriers to place their software into and offer the service. Basically what I mean to say is that if you would be interested in finding out information related to software, service or even SIM card related question for GSM type phones, I suggest contacting the carrier since they are responsible for that part of the phone and should have more concrete information to be able to help out with this situation in particular.

Gustavo: I am always happy to help out as best I can with situations in general, but I am unfortunately only limited to the information we have for the hardware specifications and what we can find in the Owner’s manual, in our system and from experience. I honestly do apologize for the inconvenience if there is any. Hopefully you now have a better picture of how LG operates regarding the software vs hardware.
