Ipad 2 is history now anandtech did benchmark on all the tablets 9 out of ten won by transformer prime and ipad 2 only won on browser .

No actually ipad 2 was second behind galaxy nexus on browser test.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alex2792:
Tegra 3 should win most benchmarks the A5 is a year old dual core chip while Tegra 3 is quad core. I'm pretty sure that the A6 will destroy Tegra 3 in all benchmarks however.

I still do not understand the need of having GPS on a tablet for navigation in a car... makes no sense whatsoever considering the fact that its too damn big and probably 99% of people also have a smart phone....

Sent from my Epic 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
I don't need it I just wanted it. Bt GPS and Sygic is like having a stand alone that I use with my Tab and phone. The battery life when using GPS like this is at least 4 times better. GPS antennas are only like $20 and get great signal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alex2792:
It doesn't matter whether YOU think that GPS is useful or not. Instead of fixing a hardware defect Asus simply removed it from the feature list while still charging the same price. Had Apple done something like that they would be crucified by the media while Android users just bend over and take it instead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Bu bu bu but samsung coming out with exynos quadcore then what ?

Hi,

Im getting tire of the HTC Sense (on Desire S) and would like a new look, I also feel that HTC Sense is a bit laggy. Is it just a launcher I should install or should I go with a new firmware?

I have seen somthing about Cyanogen 6?

BestRegards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathsongx3:
I know how you feel.

If you're willing to take the risk, Root your phone and load a custom roms.

There are a lot of custom roms out there.

You can find them on your device forum :)

Good luck!

I suggest Virtuous, It's awesome
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Do I have to root the device to be able to run custom rom? The warrenty will be lost if I root the device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes to run a custom rom you have to root your device. You can run a custom launcher though. Just remember you will lose all widgets as Sense widgets only work on Sense.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Yes your warranty will be voided if you root your phone,but if you root,there are endless possibilties for your phone.Its actually one of the best things you can do and it keeps you buisy installing custom rom and mods.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Is it possible to unroot the HTC Desire S if I need to send it on repair?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
Yes you can un root any device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Okay, So If I root my device now and place a custom rom in it and then if it needs to be send in for warrenty I can simple unroot the device and install the origianl rom?

If so, then I got some more questions :

How do I make a complete backup of my HTC Desire S with ROM? Guide?

How do root and install the custom rom the right way to be able to restore the phone to factory/default installation with my backup later on? Guide?

How do I restore the phone with the origianl firmware and also unrooting it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Okay, this explains alot : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186401

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s37h:
You can look in the specific area for your phone, but basicallky there's hardly anything you can't do.

You can unroot your phone later for waranty purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
Is there any way to remove the gradient that makes the screen lighter at the bottom in the menus and such?

I know I can't be the only one that thinks it looks stupid. It makes it appear as though the soft keys on the bottom are bleeding onto the rest of the screen like my Amaze does. (And yes I know that's not what's happening)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
I thought my screen was defective the first time I saw it but now I'm getting used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
the gradient actually exists to tell you weather hardware acceleration is used or not

you can remove it by using custom themes or do the theming yourself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
What do you mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
What gradient? Any screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
Notice how its lighter on the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
a gradient in any menu means that it is HW accelerated , if it is pure black then HW acceleration is not working

with

without
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
Yeah I know know it only shows up if you have hardware acceleration, but I can also guarantee that's not _why_ it was added... The most probable reason is to add contrast to the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Doesn't change the fact that its ugly. And I want it gone. It can be removed by themes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
This is interesting... So how do you turn HW acceleration off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yeah, I guess my version of ICS > yours. I have gradients in the menu you showed, without forcing 2D acceleration ;)

Edit: Nevermind. Its an HD2 which probably has hw acceleration off by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
Wow guys... The forcing 2D acceleration is for apps, not for the OS. The OS is going to be accelerated regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Not on the HD2, apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
Well this is the Galaxy Nexus forum, right?

All I wanna know is how to turn the Damn thing off without having do disable all 2D hardware acceleration in the OS (which I don't even know how to do)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think I found a stupid easy way. Let me test it and get back to you. I need to get a sim first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
What on earth, a gradient means you have HW acceleration on? What a load of bollocks! I don't have it on and I have the gradient and always have. It doesn't even make sense, a gradient doesn't require some uber GPU processing you know!

Are you rooted and running a custom rom? You'd have to find a theme which removes it, or do it yourself if you have the know-how. There isn't an option or anything to turn it off I'm afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Easy hoss.

Read the thread. That was an HD2 which I am sure has hw acceleration turned off by default. You on the other hand, have it on at all times for the UI and apps that support it. Unless you force it of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
The OS always has it on. Gingerbread had HW acceleration in parts of the OS. Same with FroYo. And Eclair... and so forth. The gradient was just added in Ice Cream Sandwich.

When ICS was first released, and everyone was trying to build it for devices, there were people out there racing to beat the CM team (as is customary, since they're the best!). Some people posted screenshots trying to prove that they had everything up and running and that's when someone from the CM team (I don't remember who) said that it was a half-assed job because hardware acceleration wasn't even working, and he could tell since there was no gradient. That's where this whole thing comes from.

Checking the 'force hardware acceleration' box is only for apps (not the OS) and is not what we're taking about.

Sweet! Let me know what you find!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cipheruin:
How did you do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
Perfect! How did you do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Use something like 7zip or winrar. Any utility that will not break the signing of framework-res.apk. I modified the background to be straight black used by ICS.

Drop this png into res/drawable-nodpi.

Might want to nandroid first, and you might want to push it while in clockwork because otherwise it will remove all your accounts and preferences if you adb push it in normal mode.

I would give you my framework-res.apk but it wont work because its for a custom rom the team I am on is making, and is privately signed.

I am aware this isn't the easiest thing to do manually, so if folks want to upload their framework-res.apk files, I will do it for them.

You just need to make sure you are rooted and have clockwork recovery installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
Thanks man! I figured it was in the framework-res.apk

Thanks for the how to! My nexus actually comes in the mail today; this'll probably be my first mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It looks really sharp. The picture doesn't do it justice at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nfrederick:
Thanks adrynalyne
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
adrynalyne, Thanks for simple but great solution! These menus were driving me nuts, really. Having SAMOLED screen it's lame to have grey menus :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bear55:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
Great thread guys! That gradient reminds me of that ugly TouchWiz shade of dark teal. /subscribed

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magn2o:
Man, this looks soooooo much better. Now to get rid of the gradient on the keyboard as well. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Se7enLC:
Not to hijack this thread...

Lets say I don't care about the gradient. If I'm understanding this correctly, if that "Force GPU rendering" option is checked, graphics in apps will be done in hardware instead of software, and therefore will be faster?

Why was my box unchecked, I wonder...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Read the thread, it answers your question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Enjoy.

Included a stock revert if you so wish.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
Whoa...this is amazingly better, tons of thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motopig:
Just confirming that this is an update.zip suitable for pushing from recovery. Looks that way to me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChickenGod:
Can you guys help me out with my framework-res with a revert too please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Have fun...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
I'm wondering, how to create that zip package...is that like following your instruction and make a zip using this guide? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732957
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motopig:
Success! No CWM needed!

The patched zip you made for vennstrom worked for me! :D

I checked, all files except for the one you swapped out are idential between his and mine. For the record I'm on stock 4.0.2.

I pushed the fw-res normally and I did NOT lose any preferences! :D Here is how.

Needed tools:

Insecure boot.img from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1352644 or one from the manual root package (which I used, but can't find the thread now)

working adb and fastboot

Unlocked bootloader

Steps:

Make a full backup just in case.

Extract system/framework/framework-res.apk from the patch above. Put it somewhere, say \nexus

ENABLE USB DEBUGGING ON THE PHONE. Make sure adb works.

Reboot into bootloader

fastboot boot insecure-boot.img (your insecure boot.img from above) (If you have updated to 4.0.2 or later, you will be stuck at the "Google" screen. That's fine. adb will be operational. Maybe this is the secret of not losing preferences because the framework could not initialize.)

adb remount (it should be running as root now)

adb push \nexus\framework-res.apk /system/framework (put in the path to where you put this file)

adb reboot

Repeat with file from stock revert if you want to go back. But I doubt you want to. :D

Doing this together with using a black blank page as browser start page and a black png for background I should see my battery last a bit longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
I just dropped it into the framework-res.apk of the ROM using winrar, then installed the ROM on my phone. Probably the easiest way if you're a nightly flasher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyro6128:
So you're just stock rooted? If that's the case then this should work for me as well. gsm vs cdma won't make a difference since it's just images correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It is XML as well. It *may* make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyro6128:
In that case would you mind doing mine too? Your work is greatly appreciated, looks great.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING!

This is why -.-

I think you can extract the file from AOKP zip file and reflash it?

Just my thought tho, not suggestion professional.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

I have downloaded the AOKP zip file, will flash it in a bit.

There will be screenshots :P

Interestingly I wasn't bothered by the gradient before reading this post and now I'm pissed by it. How power can autosuggestion be?

There it is. Flashed.

Entirely black background does look much prettier than stock style.

Thanks!

Oops sorry for the double post :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android01:
There is already many threads about this in themes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I dont understand, my settings menu and other menus have the gradient with hardware acceleration both on or off. The gradient never changes. Also it doesnt look too bad to me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
The gradient in system menus and settings is still there because even if you switch it off in developer settings it still is on for the os, just not apps.

Is it possible to get this to work with 4.04?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Yeap, its not likely the name of the png will change. So this should work on all roms/versions.

Not sure why the guys on the gnex forum don't use the universal vrtheme system.

No need to redo it time and time again for different roms/versions etc.

The file size to flash is only a fraction of the traditional way of doing it too.

I've just adapted the Hyperdroid version to the GNEX, all credits to them and seshomaru/pulser from the villain team.

Make sure you delete cache and dalvik cache, a further reboot may be required.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breakingspell:
I'm planning to receive the At&t Galaxy Note the day they're available, and since i'll be giving my old Nexus S to my mother, i will need to familiarize myself with the various methods of rooting and flashing ROMs to the Note, as i can never stand using stock ROMs.

With the Nexus S, flashing a ROM was as easy as unlocking the bootloader using fastboot (insanely easy), flashing CWM over using fastboot, and from there, using CWM to install the ROM zips, with kernels and gapps following the same route.

From what i've discerned, the process for the Galaxy Note is similar, but odd, as Odin is involved.

So my question is this. To install a ROM on the Galaxy Note, my first step is to root the stock ROM, flash CWM using Mobile Odin, and then use CWM to flash ROMs from there?

Hello

I searched and there was nothing on this topic..

OK so here is my problem..when i Plug in my Headphones the sound is louder from one side than the other, it is not the headphones because it also does it when i plug into AUX in car.

AUX wire in car is brand new . and isnt a cheapo cost me 15 bux, and that didnt solve my issue.

This started happening after i installed the last 2 Beast mod roms that came out, this was a known issue that X knew about..

i then moved on to Bulletproof, and the issue carried over to the new rom.

I have done all the wipes i can do on recovery, and i tried super wipe that X released.

NOTHING has helped..

so please X or someone help me! i want to bump my music in my car, that is why i spent my money on a 32gb microsd card.. and i cant :(

it shouldnt be a hardware issue because i have never used headphones excessively, and it was a known issue in beastmod development.

HELP PLEASE
