[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
I have moved on from the Captivate to the Note. I wasn't really at 2 years, but AT&T offered upgrade without any extra fees after 19 months, so I jumped on it. I was debating about getting the Note, or waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to come to AT&T. After seeing the Note, the debate was over. All other phones look like puny toys compared to it now. The Note has an awesome GPS, LTE sppeds are mind blowing, and battery life is better than the Captivate was. I am seeing some occasional lag here and there on the stock kernel, but just flashed Da_G kernel, and seems to smooth it out some so far. Hopefully the devs can port CM9 soon, and unlock the NFC hardware. It is not pure Google, but I am starting to see some good things in Touchwiz 4.0. And the LTE I could not live without.

What's next after Cappy? Galaxy Note for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkjedi85:
I also think so, bro

But screen is too large))
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barbarian:
Using it right now. At first its almost laughable how big the screen is but you get used to it very quickly. The Cappy is a tiny device to me now. Phone isn't for everybody but I am already hoping they make a Note 2.

Does anybody know if the skyrocket hd is going to have the s3 or s4 snapdragon dual core? If its the s4 thats my next phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
I've been thinking about it and I may just get a regular Galaxy S II. yeah its only got gingerbread, and no LTE, but gingerbread is really the best version of android anyway. ICS for as pretty as it is, is buggy and has compatibility issues (mostly due to developer laziness). Gingerbread is fast and reliable, nothing wrong with it. I guess the thing is I do like my phone, just get annoyed with the the laginess. it seems to run fast, but with only like 340mb of memory available, and a single core 1ghz processor it gets bogged down easily The GS2 is essentially the same phone except the CPU has an extra core, and its overclocked, and it has twice as much memory. should take care of any lag.

Really memory I think is the biggest issue with our phones. My tablet I just picked up, an HTC flyer, it's a single core snap dragon, but its clocked at 1.5ghz and it has a gig of memory, and it runs circles around my phone. Just goes to show I don't think dual-core is as necessary as everyone makes it out to be.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravomail:
pantech burst

I'm running my ICS clocked at 1.6GHz absolutely stable. The difference, well, is staggering.

As for next Cappy - it's Pantech Burst, same AMOLED screen 4" 800x480, dual core CPU 1.5GHz, LTE, Gingerbread. Price is 60 with contract and 300 unlocked on ebay.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkjedi85:
But Pantech is not so thin as Cappy, he is something about 11.4 mm

Sorry to see you go! You may miss the simplistic flashing & rooting of Samsung phones! Take a look around the HTC forums & witness the nightmare of flashing roms & root!:p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
Yeah im learning from my flyer tablet its not as easy as my captivate but im on honeycomb and it works fine so i dont see much reason to root it anyway. Sense is honestly pretty nice. I was looking to get skyrockets but couldn't get it cheaper than $200. I also just read ics update for the vivid is rolling out today which makes it even more appealing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottcwhite:
Until my company updates corporate plan to 4g I can only continue to use the Sim it if my company issued blackberry in my captivate. Bought the 4g Infuse when it first came out and that was when I found out I can't use 4g phones. It sucks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
The only phone interesting enough on android, for me is HTC One X, will see how sgs3 fares. And the Galaxy Nexus is still not launched in India :banghead:. I hate Google for that, and if they launch it now, it's already worthless.

Lumia 900 seems really nice.;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
A part of me wishes I would of waited for the one x because it is a thing of beauty no doubt but the no removable battery was the deal breaker. I swap between my Samsung stock batteries and anker batteries everyday to keep a full charge. I'm a heavy user so I just don't think a single battery would of fared well, and the other thing is I was ready to upgrade now, and the one x launch is still a couple weeks out and I hate paying a lot for a phone and it'll be a while before the one x is cheap. So I got vivids instead. Really think its enough power, dual core 1.2ghz snap dragon and a gig of memory, and ics is on the brink of being released for it. It was released actually but pulled, and there is a phone code to enter that'll force it.

Yahh I will see my favorite kernel devs when the Galaxy S3 Comes out (Tk-Glitch and sixstringsg) I am waiting for the S3 because of the unofficial specs :D. They are usually close to the real deal. Gonna be their Captivate kernel tester, at least on of them :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
I love this vivid! Im never buying Samsung again! My captivate seems cheap compared to the build quality of this phone. And it's lightning fast, and 4G lte is stupid fast! I got 36meg down yesterday!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishz:
Yes, you are right the htc one x is going to be very expensive when it launches.

About the battery, i don't care much as i am always around a charger and have never replaced my battery.

The vivid is not available in India, so i have never used it, but the reviews are good, also it has ICS now.

I will also see how SGS 3 turns out, hopefully it should be made of ceramic as per the rumors, if it's plastic again, Hello HTC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nron22:
Your right. If the leaked specs are close. The s3 will be a sick phone.

I896 with ICS is still pretty sweet. Loving 4.0.4 dark knight rom

captivate to galaxy note for sure-but what about that slll?

my question is this, how much better do you think the galaxy slll will be as compared to the note? i plan to use the note for my artwork, and the size is a plus as far as using it as a phone.

i just won the Galaxy Note from the samsung facebook page. i never win anything and i am so excited, i just can't wait till i get it--they said 6-8 weeks. why cant they just throw it in the damn shipping box and get it over with already!! i know--- samsung prize department does not revolve around me, (wish it did!)

now i can try ics on my cappy with out worry that i will not have a phone if i brick it and don't have time to un-brick it. since i told my friends i won the note, they all want my cappy. little do they know i have plans for my baby!

any advice how to mod my new note? maybe i will start a new thread for this, or is there one already...probably there is...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] checksum123:
Hello,

I own a samsung galaxy skyrocket and I just bought an external lexar sd card.

How do record my movies and pictures directly to the external sd card? instead of having to copy them from the internal to the external?

Thank you

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] checksum123:
Thank you!!!

I did not know you could scroll down. I can't believe i spent hours looking for it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
I dont really know where this belongs, Original Android Development, Android Development or Themes and Apps. I use it for themes so ill put here.

Hopefully some of the people around here will find this as useful as i have.

First things first, credit and thanks to Brut.all for his awesome tool.

Basically i couldn't find anything like this so I created a very simple little reg edit to enable right click de-compiling on apks and right click builds on folders.

I've been using this since Jaunuary 2011(over a year!!) with no problems and it's great for those quick .9 or xml edits.

DISCLAIMER

:

This was made for the Windows XP operating system! .so im not sure if it will work on other Window OS, feel free to try but im not responsible for your computers well being so use at your own risk.

After a little research it seems the registry tree is the same for "Vista" and "7" so it should work on them also :)

To use this you must have apktool working correctly.

Only works if your path variable is set to C:\sdk\tools\

If your Path variable is set differently you have 2 options:

1-let me know where and i'll attatch appropiate reg-edit.

2-Easy option, create a folder on your C:\ named "sdk", inside the sdk folder create another folder named "tools,

now copy the contents from your original tools folder into your newly created tools and add the path in enviromental variables. Simple.:)

RECOMMENDED

:

It is highly recommended to backup your registry prior to installing, just follow the simple instructions included in the download zip.

To install

:

Simply extract .reg file from the zip, double click and answer yes.

That's it!!!!

Now your ready to become a de-compiling/building whirlwind.:D

Useage

*I simply right click an apk, "empty.apk" for example, choose decompile (you recieve a folder with the apk's name), navigate into the res\drawable* folder and drop in my .9.png's.

*Backout of folder, right click "empty" folder and choose build.

*The built images are in are located in "empty\build\apk\res\drawable*".

*The built apk is located in "empty\dist".

I've included an empty.apk for quick .9.png edits, this saves hunting through endless amounts of images for your newly created .9. :)

If the tool fails it could be something simple-

Problem: solution:

-Folder already exits -Delete or rename

-.9.png's not properley edited -Fix using draw 9 tool

-Required framework not installed -Open cmd and type "apktool if FILE LOCATION\framework-res.apk"

Remember this is a simple tool, for more advanced useage and logs use apk-manager

Final Note

:

If Brut.all has any reason for me to remove this please let me know and it will disappear ASAP.

Thank you. ;)

If for some reason you lose the ability to create new folders here is a fix:

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] asb123:
In the latest version of gta3 they introduces the ability to adjust the visuals. It runs at full quality on my touchpad, but is shown as not compatible on the market.

Seeing that it works fine on the xperia play, I know that it would run fine on the nexus s (perhaps with lower quality).

They may expand compatibility to the nexus s in the future but for now, are there any compatibility fixes?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] JerryPi:
Well i bought it when it came out and they since removed the support for nexus s. It was also very buggy, so that you could not even start the game. Later versions fixed a lot of bugs and even improved upon several things, but our nexus is stil not compatible eventhough it can play it fairly well. Hope that it gets fixed in the near future:-)

Deleting audio folder for me makes the game run flawlessly on v1.2.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] shockem:
Yea! audio makes it lag like HELL. but when i change the rom and reinstall the game it needs to download the game data again
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] _moriarty:
Hmmm. Well I don't remember that happening to me. Do you accidentally delete the game folder when changing roms? And if that's not the case then maybe copy over the 500mb folder to PC and put it back in when you've installed the rom. And if it still has that issue....then I guess download the content over and over again....haha. Or a simple solution is to stop changing roms you flash junkie.

Don't worry, I get it also. Seems to not really mean anything as the albums still load up with no problem. Also if you press refresh it'll say the same thing. Just a s/w bug.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
If your albums won't load, just use Quick Pic album from marketplace. It's a free app. Its good and will work for you till this bug is fixed. Seems like a problem across all devices with latest ICS version.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ApolloDeus:
I did a search.

I am looking for non Android and Samsung widgets.

I go to the widget menu and see nothing but the stock ones.

This means I can't add the weather widget, tweetcaster, etc.

I am using the Octane ROM.

Someone please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
The easiest way to get those is to run a stock rom, not a custom one. Custom roms generally tend to move away from a Samsung style rom, to a more... true android type build.

Try flashing stock Kj6 (rooted of course). That will come with all of the stock samsung widgets.

Alternatively, you can download the stock kj6 CWM version (the zip one), unzip it, and look in system/apps and take out the apks of the desired widgets. Using root explorer, or something similar like Astro, copy and paste those apks to your phones system/app folder.

I don't recall every seeing tweetcaster though... just BuddiesNow, Feeds and Updates... hope it helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] MOUSEY:
This is a guide on how to put movies into your PC and having it to stream over to your device.

WHY ?

Of course we can definitely place movies into our device local SDCard and play through it but when you have a huge collection of movies, you would rather want to stream movies across than having to copy each movie and play it with under the restriction of your SDCard capacity.

WHAT DO I NEED ?

1) Software: TVMOBILI (http://www.tvmobili.com)

2) Wireless Network in which both your PC and HTC EVO 3D are connected to

3) Optional Software: HANDBRAKE (http://handbrake.fr)

HOW TO DO IT ?

A. SETUP YOUR PC

===============

1) Download and install TVMOBILI from the following website (http://www.tvmobili.com). It supports Windows, Mac and Linux as well. This software will be your streaming server (DLNA Compliant). Alternatively you can also use Windows Media Player as an DLNA server but I wont be covering on how to setup on that.

2) Once TVMobili had been installed, launch it by clicking on the TVMobili icon. It will launch TVMobili on your standard web browser

3) Add your movies into the server by clicking on the CONTENT icon and followed by ADD MORE CONTENT

4) Follow the steps provided and browse to the folders in which you had stored all your video files

*Refer screenshot 1*

B. STREAM TO YOUR DEVICE

=======================

1) Launch GALLERY from your HTC EVO 3D

2) You would see a list of local hosted content but we are interested in what's being hosted on the PC instead. Click on the WORD "Albums" on top and you will get a dropdown list of content source (Albums, Facebook, Flickr, Media Servers, Picasa Web Albums)

3) Select Media Servers and it will search for the list of DLNA servers in your network (Make sure you're connected to the WIFI network before doing so or it may not find the TVMobili server)

4) Your TVMobili server will be shown as TVMOBILI: where is the name of your PC. Click on it

5) Click on My Content and browse to the files you want to watch and it will stream over to your device

STREAMING 3D

============

You may be able to get your hands on 3D movies but using the above method may land you with a movie being played side by side. The only solution that I know of now is to re-encode the movie with additional settings by using HandBrake. The additional settings ":frame-packing=3" needs to be placed under the Advanced tab of HandBrake.

[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Some of them yes. Some are not. If this is a framework stuff it absolutely will brick your phone. Why don't you use ICS theme for CM7 theme chooser??
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
I mean the launcher does that work on cm and so ted could you give me the Original one with the Original icons
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
no it will not work on cm7

this is just the LG home with modified icons. it requires the framework to run.

i made it to get a streamline look with zeus as i was using the ICS theme by gabwerkz. every app with ICS icon is stock LG app, along with the home.

hope i cleared any doubt.

*just a small app* i don't know if it is relevant to post it here, but there is an app from SE in the market called "appxplore". it's very small (<50kb) and shows the certificate, flags, si8gnatures,permissions, activities, source and data directory, backup agent(if any), debug info, etc. it's a handy tool for any1 who like wants to port an app which has framework and library dependencies.

[Android General] vlt96:
As ICS has been released, all our devices have a developer that works hard on making ICS for your phone...

But, if you have a low-end phone, with low memory, RAM, CPU, small screen, you doubt it is good for you...

YOU ARE WRONG

ICS is made for high-end devices and tablets, but, if you see, all the bars and everything have been optimized:

-Pressing menu will bring a more minimal menu.

-Apps like "Maps" have transparent bars!

-The "thumb slider" is much, MUCH more slim.

-Apps like Superuser don't have the need to press settings to get to the settings, it now appears in the top bar!

-The title bar is a tiny bit smaller, the status bar makes you thing you have a very high-end device!

You thing the RAM is not enough... wrong! It actually takes less RAM for me than on GB, with lot more crappy apps ICS has...

CPU not good??? YOU ARE 100% wrong!! An OS will never take more than 100 MHz just to work, A win7 PC with a dual-core CPU(2,8GHz) takes just 2% if not doing anything, and this is a Computer OS, very complex one!

One little problem is the size... it takes a lot from internal memory, but data2sd etc... they will solve it!

Yes, it is not a fully working ROM, except for some of the high-end devices, but the devs are working together, a developer from gt540 fixes something, another one from p500 takes it and works faster, a HD2 dev comes with a fix, all devices use it, p500 devs come with a very innovative thing, it gets implemented on ALL devices with the compatible hardware...

So, just take ICS, but make sure it is done!! It is highly unstable for most of us right now, but everyone is working very, very hard
