[Thunderbolt General] patches152:
don't forget that the tbolt has two radios so that even when not on 4G you can have simultaneous voice/data. there are a few benefits still left in the ol' machine!
[Thunderbolt General] z71kris:
deff a bolt...
[Thunderbolt General] feralicious:
Okay same question here except I'm researching for a friend who may not let me tweak her phone, so what if they're both going to remain stock? Which do you think will run the best for a light user? Calls, txts, emails and occasional surfing/youtube.

I've read about past issues with the Bolt, are they resolved so that the new ones shipping are okay?

I"m trying to get her to get the Rezound but she doesn't want to spend the money and both these phones are free atm. She's coming froma 3-4 year old flip phone that only shows pic in thumbnail size. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] brandogg:
No compromise. Make her get the Rezound. I hate to say it, but I'd probably take the Droid Incredible 2 over the Thunderbolt (which is what I have now), but only because there's no LTE in my area yet. The Droid Incredible 2 is a world phone, and can be unlocked to T-Mobile or AT&T (or Simple Mobile, Red Pocket, etc) - not that I would recommend any of those since it will connect to the Edge network and Verizon is the best service in the US, period, but it's a nice option. Other than that, the screen is only .3" smaller and the rest of the specs are essentially identical (unless you count the Thunderbolt's included 32GB MicroSD vs the Droid Incredible 2's 16GB), gets way better battery life, and the Dinc 2 weighs about half as much as the Bolt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
Just wanted to share if anyone is interested in buying a dock, I purchased this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-s2-i9100-Zenis-Desktop-Dock-Charger-/330621326245?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfa9113a5

It works greats for charging and syncing, is built fairly well (for the price) and comes with a removeable insert that allows you to use a case (so long as it isn't very thick) with the dock. If you have any questions feel free to ask :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PeartFan40:
Wrong section. This belongs in the "want to sell" marketplace.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
Hahaha been around here long enough to know where threads go, this was meant to give people another dock option other than the Samsung one since I know a few people are not very pleased with it. But thanks for your "mod" suggestion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Luken10:
I bought the same dock a couple weeks ago, still waiting for it too arrive! Sadly all of these come from Korea, so it takes a while. From my searching it seems to be the best bang for your buck dock. Guess I will have to see when I finally receive it.

Here is a question though. How snug does the phone fit without a case and the insert in the dock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
its a "tight" fit with the insert. you don't have to force the phone in, but it fits well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Luken10:
Got the dock today and I would highly recommend it for the price! If you use a case with your phone this is a no-brainier. Personally I do not so I have to use the rubber insert, which for the most part is fine. I just don't like how it is a gray color instead of black. Got this dock for 11 dollars on eBay, i think that is a bargain for this dock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thecrazy88:
Does it put the phone in dock mode when inserted into the dock like the oem dock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Has anyone devised a way to make the battery cover more grippy? I can't use a case because of the Touchstone mod I did, but I also don't want the back of the phone to look terrible.

Looking for ideas, anyone have some?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Sorry but unrelated really but what is a touchstone mod?

I got a 2000Mah battery this morning with a different cover and the phone feels much better in my hand. I totally get what you are saying about it being hard to grip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I took the inductive charging coil off the back cover of an old Palm Pre and stuck it to the battery cover of the Galaxy Nexus. A little copper tape connects to the inside of the pogo pins. There's a nice guide here on XDA somewhere.

A case can't be used because the air gap would be too much for the coils, phone wouldn't charge at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
I have a carbon fiber skin from a company called XGear and its great. I don't like making the phone any bigger with a case and wanted to give it a better feel in the hand. I'm pretty picky about what I put on my phone and I am very satisfied.

I had to use a heat gun to put it on perfect but it looks nice.

I don't have any pictures on my tablet but if you look it up they have pictures or if you PM me I can email you some.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
That sounds pretty good, but why not post up some pictures for others to see? I'd like to see what you are talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Is this what you're using?

http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/exoskin-nexus-lte

I would just use the battery cover skin. Is it grippy though? If someone makes a rubber-type skin for the battery lid I would like to see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
I wouldn't say its grippy like a rubber case would be but it definitely gives the phone a more tactile feel. I am extremely happy...

One thing to note is they have re designed it since I bought and it actually covers more of the phone than mine does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Thanks for the pictures

How grippy would you say the skin is, over the stock battery lid? I don't think I'm looking for much, just something more so that I don't drop the thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
What's interesting is the part that makes the phone easier to hold onto is not so much the carbon fiber back as it is the sides. The back definitely helps though. I don't really know how to describe it other than to say my GF does not have a skin or case on her nexus and it definitely feels slippery in comparison to mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I wonder where I can find a thin sheet of clear self-adhesive silicon, I could just cut out exactly what I want and save a few bucks....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Too slippy? -> Skateboard tape. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
Spray some plastic dip on it. About 6 layers should do. I believe that's what was done with the nexus s when it was released.

[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
Hey every body,

I'm new user of the Acer Iconia A500, coming from DHD :-)

As most people here I think, I wanted to try new ROMs before choosing the most stable and fast one ...

So I tried first to find ICS ROMs, and I found 2 threads:

Thor2002ro ROM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356489

Blazingwolf ROM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353252

But those 2 threads are closed ... And when reading these forums, I don't really understand why they re closed ...

Can someone explain me why these 2 projects are closed? Because both of them are continuing their work on other forums ...

Thanks !
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
something about gpl compliance. the thor rom is good (it would be my daily if the camera worked) but it cant be linked to here for gpl reasons. we can discuss it though.
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
Thanks for answer ...

XDA is GPL, no?

so is it because thor doesn't want to use same license ?

That's a pity for everyone: he's ROM don't hava as much visibility (and it's already pretty good) and XDA doesn't have good ICS ROM for A500 yet ... I can't see anyone that is not loosing with this situation :-/
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
as far as i know, its a legal issue. i'm no lawyer, this is just what i've gathered over a 2 year period of using android devices. android is open source, therefore its illegal to not post your source code when you make something from it. thor wont release his code, therefore thor's work isnt allowed to be posted here.

sure, everyone could benefit once his rom is100% functional, but I can also argue that everyone can benefit from having microsoft office on their PC as well that doesnt mean I can post a torrent for office cracks.
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
Thanks a lot for these explanations ...

Maybe I'll change ROM then ... ^^
[Acer Iconia A500] tkirton:
Android itself is licensed under the Apache 2 license agreement, which allows people to make modification to source without sharing. But the kernel itself is a Linux kernel, which is covered under the GPL v2. Any release of the binaries must either include the source with the binaries or a link has to be publicly posted to the source repository and the source repository must be made publicly available without restrictions. My understanding is they have not complied with that section, so their roms violate the GPL.

So long as they don't post the link, they can't link the rom on XDA, as this will violate XDA's terms of use.
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
Well ... Hope Thor2002ro will read this post then ...

Because if that's only about publishing a ICS kernel compliant with Iconia A500, that's really sad ...

Thanks a lot for your explanations !
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Thor is well aware of his non-compliance and doesn't really care. It's a damn shame really as he's a good dev, but XDA have to protect themselves from possible legal action so Thor's ROM's aren't allowed.
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
OK. So it's pointless to try to convince him

=> tonight, I reflash my tab ....

I'll try Taboonay. Someone has other ROM to suggest?

thanks everyone for your quick answer :)

[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
RESERVED

Beta 2 coming soon
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
i will but really scare of bricking my phone, is it safe to flash?
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
I wouldnt be to scared, there is no kernel or recovery in the test ROM, so the only thing it is touching mmcblk0p27 -> system, it isnt touching kernel or recovery, so worst comes to worse there should be no reason you shouldnt still have a working recovery if this rom doesnt work. SO JUST make SURE you backup in nandroid so you have a working backup to restore if this doesnt work. Thank you :D
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
I will try it in a few days but I wouldn't wipe data without a way to get out of a bootloop. There's an issue with kernals at the moment where wiping data screws it up. Might be different On yours. Just a heads up, be careful!
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
so just wipe cache and wipe davik cache?
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
Yeah just wipe those didnt know about the ^^ problem
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
phone boot, now i'm testing all the features see if everything is working properly

Report when boot up to homescreen, lockscreen respond to all the touch but in home launcher 1/3 of the screen(bottom) not respond to touches
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Some of us had a rough time yesterday, I think that's why it took so long for someone to respond. As I just un-bricked yesterday... I'm going to wait until someone else is running. :D
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
Awesome glad to hear :D this rom is mostly just debloated, and build.prop mods, but now that i know it boots in current state im gonna add a bunch more mods and themes
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
yeah i completely understand, been browsing some other threads and noticed that there seemed to be alot of bricks lately, seems to be working for chiensibut
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
sony launcher did not working properly of the phone, i think it because of resolution.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
how is the responsiveness of the ROM aka lag?
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
seen he removed stock lg launcher and replaced it with sony launcher but it's not working right so I installed laucherpro now everything seem really smooth I much say
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
Thanks ill include a different launcher next build
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
Awesome glad to hear, adding a bunch of things now for beta 1 release :D thanks for testing

RebelROM BETA1 uploading

Rom seems to work fine, Added golauncher + Go launcher ICS theme,Roboto font, ICS themed search bar, and i think thats it. :D uploading now
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
Beta 1, http://www.sendspace.com/file/gky3yj can someone test, should work fine since test 1 worked. Just added some stuff
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
can you like remove that carrier text upper left corner of the screen? its kinda annoying
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
Yea i will next update, did you test beta1?
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
ok so i just tried to flash the new beta1, i noticed that if you flash new rom over older one you will have to flash it twice, because if you do it only one time, it will install really fast like 1s then say done, normally it will take like 3 or 4 mins to install the rom, hope you know what i'm saying. sorry for poor english
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
Does this ROM also have the battery percent mod? I am going to flash this after work tonight.
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
nope it just like pure lg stock but debloated and deodexed
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
and zipaligned, build.prop tweaks/mods, and ICS looking goodies. Much more to come. (full ICS theme etc)
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
thats wierd, thanks for the heads up though
[LG Nitro HD] chiensibut:
oh the new CM 7 Music app forcecloses
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I'm curious if this has DSP manager. I can't seem to install that over the normal LG rom. It will install, but it doesn't take effect. The LG music application seems to have it's own equalizer built in.

So just wiping cache in CWM is the way to go? Is it recommended to do a factory reset within the ROM or should I just avoid starting clean all together?
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
This does have DSP manager, but since CM7 music doesnt work, theres no way to use/test it. You can try downloading google music from market and use that as music player and play around with DSP
[LG Nitro HD] mrsexypants:
mannn soo happy to see a dev on this forum, you think you can figure out something for i can do quick compose with chompSMS i did buttonremapping but i don't like losing the functionality of a whole button :(
[LG Nitro HD] hyelton:
If u havent got a host for ur site. I would gladly host it for u for free:)
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I'll try, I kind of like Winamp more anyway. I know it will work with DSP Manager, atleast it does in CM7 on my HTC Inspire.

Should I just download from the most recent link here?
[LG Nitro HD] bytecode64:
The issue is with Ext4 FS ,use the following script to format (data and cache partition):

#Format Data
/sbin/mke2fs_static -t ext4 -b 4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
#Format Cache
/sbin/mke2fs_static -t ext4 -b 4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p28

# After Format Verify the FIle System
/sbin/e2fsck_static -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
/sbin/e2fsck_static -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p28
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
CWM formats partitions differently then?
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Booted up fine for me, but because I can't wipe I still have everything I previously had. Just some different applications added in as well. I wiped the cache partition and that was it. Do I need to wipe the dalvik cache as well?

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Is this done with ADB shell from within CWM?
[LG Nitro HD] bytecode64:
From ADB

Also unmount both partitions from "mounts and storage menu" just in case (ie cache and data)
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
I am having a force close issue if I turn on Bluetooth, is anyone else having a similar issue?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
I'm not sure if this is related to the DSP Manager here in this ROM, but due to me installing CM7 on the Atrix, I got interested with DSP manager, and decided to install it on the Nitro directly during the first couple of weeks of having the phone. I did some research and people seem to just install it on Gingerbread with no issues.

Well, installation went well, but it stops there. To begin with, DSP Manager did nothing to improve the sound quality on the phone, if anything just made it worse. Enabling Bass boost did a reverse and reduced bass. Sound quality seems to be reduced. And the worst result of installing DSP manager? I lose control of in-call loudness control, either using the ear piece or the speaker phone. Putting the volume on minimum or maximum does nothing, sound remains muffled somewhere in like 25-30% loudness. I thought something broke on this phone, only to find out that DSP manager screwed the volume settings. I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal. Just thought I throw this out for everyone to keep an eye on and try to make sure it works properly on this phone. :)
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
same over here. force close on TEST1 and beta1.
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
I am running this ROM and so far so good. Enabling BT does in fact cause a FC for me as well though. Other than that, it runs very smooth. A couple of things i wonder if it would be possible to integrate or if you could tell me how to do it. Is it possible to get the ICS lockscreen? I know there are widgets but would integrating it into the ROM make it use less resources? Also, is there any way to change the stock messaging app. Finally, has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation on this phone yet. During the short time i used the su640 kdz, i really liked the boot animation for it.

Any info would be great, but so far great work, its appreciated.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I had a similar experience. I assumed it's because the music app has it's own equalizer on it, probably some service running in the background. The bass was reduced, but I didn't have any of the other issues. After uninstalling everything went back to normal. I'm sure it's something related to the rom and not the phone itself. When I first listened to it in my car I was cursing because the audio on my Inspire was leaps and bounds better with CM7 and DSP manager.
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Any screens?
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:
Update coming tomorrow guys
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
If you are using the stock music App on the Nitro, the equalizer for this phone is provided by Dolby Mobile. If you go to equalizer you will see it there. I think when we install DSP on it, it conflicts against Dolby Mobile and causes random issues.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Can it be uninstalled? Or is Dolby Mobile part of the music app? I removed the music app, but still can't use DSP manager.
[LG Nitro HD] bpear96:

Flashed about 20 minutes ago and stuck on second LG screen...I am going to restore and give it another try in a bit
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Just flashed it, the LG logo staring at me for a couple minutes always makes me nervous. I can't wait to boot into it. I formatted data and cache using ADB while booted into CWM. Ready to see a clean experience. :D

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

I never got booted into it. The ADB formats of data and cache didn't soft-brick me. Also, when I formatted system from CWM this time it didn't soft-brick me. I am restoring my phone from a nandroid right now.

Can anyone confirm how long it sits at the LG screen before finally booting in. Mine set there for around 10 min before I freaked and retried it.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
This is super helpful!
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
Does this fix the issue with boot loops and such from formatting /data?

Can we format /data this way and be all good when flashing?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
I think it's part of the whole ROM. If we are still using ROMs based of the stock ROM, then it will still be embedded in there.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Well that sucks. It sounds like Dolby is compressing the audio then dropping the bottom 50 or 60 Hz. No good for any music with character.
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKSensationOwner:
Hi all,

new poster here, hope you can help.

I was attempting to update my sensation to ICS using a custom rom. Have followed the instructions found in the relevant forum on here and got as far as updating the firmware on my device.

I checked my CID was supported which is says it is "VODAP001" so proceeded to attempt to flash the ROM.

The flash seemed to work until I got a CID incorrect! error message.

Unfortunately now the phone wont boot, it keeps staying on the HTC logo, then seemingly rebooting itself again.

I'm praying I haven't bricked the device, but any ideas what I do now? :eek:

The Question I have is once I root my replacement EVO 3d could I use a recovery image from my old EVO 3D on the new one?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
No, you are just asking for trouble, and you will overwrite your wimax keys and never be able to use 4g again. You can use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps. But never restore a full nandroid backup from one phone to another.
[HTC EVO 3D] Direthreat:
That is what I thought. I just didn't want to be that guy that goes and does all the work and then someone says "oh you didn't have to do that " LOL thanks
