[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
The SGN doesn't support 1700mhz AWS (T-Mobile's 3G band in the US), so you're stuck with EDGE on T-Mo... on the other hand, there are some T-Mo users here who have been ditching their data plans and getting a mobile hotspot instead. :P

well, i was looking on the internet about this matter.. and i found that the Note has the same band chip that supports 1700 but it is disabled via mode/radio.. :(

[Acer Iconia A500] adienpryde:
All I use my Acer A500 for is Web Browsing, watching video, and reading comics and was wondering which ROM would be the fastest one for me. I have Rooted it and am currently using Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2 on Android Version 3.2.1 with Kernel Version 2.6.36.3+.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] mihnead:
I'm more of an enthusiast when it comes to Android - so don't take my advice with any "pro" weight behind it- and I've also rooted my a501 and played with roms. Basically, I haven't found major or noticeable differences between the custom jobs (there are noticeable differences b/w the custom jobs and the stock ones, though). Most of the custom jobs have tweaks that increase free space or battery life or add a few eye candy things to the tablet. This thread is very up to date about it.

Personally, I've tried Lightspeed, Honeylicious and even Taboonay at one point. They're all good. I personally want zero clutter (so none of the stock Acer apps or games) and a bit more battery life, since my model also has 3G. I was going to try Epiphany also, but I've "updated" to stock and am waiting for ICS, since none of the devs are likely to finish up with reverse-engineering it before Acer comes out with the official update. So that's about that..

Never really understood the kernel bit, at least never really noticed major differences between them, but again, I'm just a guy with a tablet, not a pro.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
All the custom ROMs are just whipups of the stock ROM or some other device's ROM, so there are not really all that much differences in e.g. browsing performance. The only thing that really speeds you up there is going for another browser or overclocking and as such if the small speed-up is really that important then you should look for a ROM with a custom kernel that allows for overclocking.

If I had to choose one ROM I'd probably suggest Honeylicious, but then again, I am still running stock ROM myself as it's the least buggy.
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
According to my own personal experience, there are three custom ROMs with superior video performance, which are available only at tegraowners.com as they are using a GPL non-compliant kernel. The fastest ROM is the A500 ICS, which is, however, still under development (e.g., no camera, no HDMI audio). The two other ROMs are HC 3.2.1 based, Civato Flexstriker and Thor A500 14.2, and both also very fast. Both have as additional advantage over stock ROM, for instance, drivers for using 3G thumb drives. There are many further tweaks. For instance, Civato's Flexstriker shows a better Wifi stability compared to stock, while Thor's A500 14.2 shows the best GPS connectivity.

With best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
How does any of those have anything to do with video?
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
What do you mean? I wrote these are additional advantages over stock ROM, besides better video performance.

Best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] myers7289:
I used kjy2010's honeylicious faux rom on my a500 and it works great! Just as he and others described, it is stable, fast, free from clutter.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I'd have to vote for the Honeylicious ROMs as well. They're basically tweaked stock ROMs with a lot of clutter deleted, so they're highly reliable. Your requirements are rather basic (same as mine, so there's nothing wrong with that), so there's no real point in going to a bleeding edge ROM.

You could also just get EZTerry's stock rooted ROM and delete the clutter yourself via Titantium Backup, but that's pretty much what KJY2010 has already done in the Honeylicious ROMs.

I would not recommend going with any ROM not using the stock kernel because that usually has compromises on reliability. I also wouldn't use a ROM that isn't based on the stock Acer ROM for the same reason (if not more so since it wasn't didn't come from Acer).

All just my opinion -- I realize that other's may vary.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.m0x:
Hate to break it to you buddy but honeylicious is based on the Packard Bell ROM, not the stock Acer one.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
You mean the Liberty tab from Acer subsidiary, Packard Bell, that's almost an identical clone of the A500? :rolleyes:

I was referring to ROMs based on completely different tablets, like Asus, Motorola, etc.

Hi guys, the game works fine for a couple of mins, until the phone starts heating and well :mad: , it starts lagginggggg. Multiplayer works fine, but single player is just killing me. Problems only occur when phone starts to warm up. Anyone facing this issue?

More info : Strafing and scrolling "view" seems to be lagging, as though frame-rate just dropped or something. I've reinstalled and uninstalled, downloaded data and still, the same outcome. Multiplayer is as smooth as

I also experience UHT moment when i play gameloft games.. but theres no continuous lag, only stutters on some area..

Got no framerate issue here. Try looking for a newer version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redfreak:
Hmm, im on the latest version. 1.0.1. What im getting is the BLURISH effect when scrolling views. Im pretty sure its a framerate drop. Ive got MC3 running alone, no background apps. Its literally killing me. Ive tried 5 different kernels, and Im sure im not overclocking or underclocking the cpu. Im using stock rom though. Would cyanogenmod help improve the gameplay? Any good roms that still preserve the samsung qwerty keyboard?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaoshead3:
I have this issue too. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, Noble Black, 2.3.5, stock ROM, kernel XWKJ1 (also stock), NO ROOT

At some point (fire or many trees or something) the game is lowering the FPS. I didn't noticed that for example on Sensation XL (which has 1.5 singlecore and even higher screen resolution than my phone has) and i didn't saw a single lag.

I made a video about this problem and posted it on youtube here it is:

[YOUTUBE]_g1eXsX5OUU[/YOUTUBE]

I suppose this problem is related to my stock ROM or even my stock kernel... something similar is happening with backstab but there it's not that annoying since it's not a FPS game
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redfreak:
YES YES :) Im not alone. Thats the problem. I wonder if its due to the stock rom...

No issues here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,it even happens on my device,which is overclocked,both the CPU(1600MHz) and the GPU(400MHz).It seems to only happen when there is smoke on the screen.Doesn't happen in any other case.

Btw, any roms to recommend?

@androidkid:slimrom running touchwiz?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Because it has another much weaker GPU, therefore it has much lower graphical quality settings. It's like playing on Low and the GSII on very high.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,even if it is so,it's unacceptable,as it's definitely a fault on Gameloft's part.The game is,once again like other Gameloft titles,more or less badly coded.It uses too much GPU.I can play ShadowGun with 16x MSAA(Using CF3D) for hours and the phone just gets warm,while I can't play MC3 for nearly as long and the device burns.Before anyone tries to say that it's because MC3 has so super awesome graphics,it's not the cause.Our GPU doesn't overheat,even when overclocked.Excessive heat is only generated by the CPU.So,try playing ShadowGun and MC3 with 500MHz or 800MHz CPU.ShadowGun still plays as awesome as before,while MC3 lags.

We should contact Gameloft me thinks... ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redfreak:
Contacted gameloft 3 weeks ago. Said they would look into the problem. Lets just wait for the net update to roll out

Hi all,

Introduction

I have seen some boot animations appear here and there. Not sure whether there's already other threads for other ROMs which contain these same boot animations, and whether these bootanimations can be used on other devices too, but I decided to add them to one thread to make it simpler.

Install Instructions

I have created cwm-installable-packages for each of them, as I think it's easier to load them that way:

Make sure feamod recovery is installed, click here for more info

Make sure your ROM supports sanim.zip boot animations

Put the animation(s) you chose on your (external) sdcard

Reboot in recovery (feamod/cwm) - poweroff, press vol-up and poweron and wait till recovery appears

Select "install zip from sdcard"

Select "choose zip from sdcard"

Browse to your bootanimation and select to install it

Select "reboot system now" and enjoy your new boot animation :cool:

If it doesn't work, extract the sanim.zip and install them the regular way with Root Explorer or something like that :)

Please note that they are all sanim.zip based, so please check whether you ROM supports it (or ask me :D).

Disclaimer

As usual: I have no idea what I am doing, it simply works the way I do it, so I am not responsible to any problems this stuff may cause...

I have personally tested all of these:

ICS_CWM.zip

Nexus_One_CWM.zip

androidBoot_CWM.zip

broodROM_RC2_CWM.zip

i9001_bios-binary_CWM.zip -- does not work !! Anyone willing to try and fix it?

i9001_bios_CWM_v1.0.zip

i9001_bios_scifi_CWM_v1.1.zip

rotating_android_CWM.zip

xda_CWM.zip

broodROM_RC1_CWM.zip

broodROM_RC2_Custom_CWM.zip

Removing animation (return to stock) & sound

I also had the sudden idea to remove the animation with a cwm-zip, which will give you the stock samsung animation. Attached a zip to remove the boot animation and as a bonus also a zip to remove the boot sound :cool:

remove_animation_CWM.zip

remove_bootsnd_CWM.zip

1. Can you confirm that the file exists in the correct folder (/system/media/sanim.zip)?

2. Can you confirm that the file has 644 (-rw-r--r--) permissions?

3. Try to install the SkyHigh kernel again, preferably through cwm (not broodRom config, or something alike)

4. Try to manually copy sanim.zip into /system/media and change permissions. Also: sanim.zip is a zipfile inside the downloads, it's not the download and renaming it!!

Good luck!

I've seen a few other wallpaper templates out there, but i wasn't extremely satisfied with them as they only focused on the home screen.

I put alot of work into checking and re-checking this on the honeycomb default launcher (3.1), and it accurately displays the location of each screen both vertical and horizontal.

It's a PNG image to maintain transparency, and the resolution of it is what i've calculated to be optimal to maintain 1280x800 on the primary home screen.

I'm uploading the easier to use PNG file, the psd, and a simple wallpaper i just threw together to illustrate.

When using this template, you just set the crop in the upper left hand corner and expand down as far as you can. there is about a 5px buffer at the bottom to allow some give.

I know it's kind of a busy template, but the green lines will define the home screen in either direction, and each screen is defined by it's matching colored line.
