[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
While I agree that it is stupid for so many reviewers to talk about the iPhone, that is not "the only thing that keeps the iPhone relevant." Millions of people have and will continue to buy iPhones even if new Android phones are not compared to the iPhone in reviews. The reasons the iPhone is popular are legion, from people who are clueless, to Apple cultists, to people who legitimately prefer the feel of iOS to other mobile options. The clueless people are the only people who might be influenced by lack of iPhone mention in reviews, but I sincerely doubt that many of them have ever read a review of Android device online.

Hello,

There are various MIUI roms ported to the Arc but haven't seen any Mods for them yet so just sharing these. I did not make these and am just sharing them and all credit goes to the makers:

Andy Thomson

Roenano

MrIT

The first, and most popular mod is the Extended Settings Mod by Andy Thomson. It gives you the:

Option to Hide/Unhide Status Bar Clock

Option to Hide/Unhide Alarm Icon

Option to select a custom colour for the clock

Option to Hide/Unhide Battery Icon

Option to select a custom colour for the top-bar battery

Option to select a custom colour for the carrier

Option to Hide/Unhide Carrier

Option to specify your own custom carrier text

Option to replace carrier text with a logo.

Option to specify pull-down date/time format. (see below for examples)

Option to specify lockscreen date/time format. (see below for examples)

Option to change Overscrolling.

Option to Enable/Disable an App Drawer.

Option to choose a solid wallpaper in the colour of your choice.

Option to choose a colour and adjust the transparency of the statusbar

As well as the above. If you go to Launcher Settings you will have the following options..

Option to enable/disable Wallpaper scrolling

Option to enable/disable Auto close folders.

Option to show/hide icon labels.

There are the reboot mods by roenano which allow you to reboot:

1. Normally

2. Hot Reboot (Restarts the OS)

3. Reboot directly to the bootloader (Fastboot)

4. Reboot directly to recovery

The third mod allows you to skip tracks via the volume buttons and is also by Andy Thomas:

While the phone's screen is off and Music is playing, long pressing the Volume Buttons will skip tracks either forward or backwards. While the phone's screen is off and No Music is playing. Short presses will adjust the Volume.

When the screen is on (even if the phone is locked) the volume buttons control the volume as normal.

How to Install:

1. Reboot into recovery.

2. Go to mounts and storage and mount /system

3. choose "install zip from sdcard"

4. choose "choose zip from sdcard"

5. locate your file

6. confirm "YES - install "

7. wait for script to finish

8. reboot phone

Download links:

http://android.gcfam.net/devs/andy/ - The link to the latest version of the skip track via volume buttons and extended settings are there. The 2.1.13 versions are working with the latest MIUI versions (2.2.3)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ituf7ddt57kwdgk- Download link for Timescape addon

]Update, Timescape for MIUI

Firstly, go to system folder using root explorer and do the following in your build.prop file

Edit the following line

From

ro.product.manufacturer= "whatever name here''

To

ro.product.manufacturer= Sony Ericsson

Add a new line

Then download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ituf7ddt57kwdgk

and flash via CWM :D

Thank you, Hope this helped some MIUI users :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Thank you for sharing these tips. Just FYI, the ICSsettings (Extended settings for ICS) are not working with the MIUI version SaOSsinx released last Tuesday. I'm anxiously waiting for a fix.

Just trying to help, and oh I haven't tested the MIUI v4 yet because its too buggy to be my daily driver but thanks for sharing :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
And I appreciate your help. It's a good thing you started the thread because the information is really hard to find.

I'm using MIUI 4.0 as my dairy driver. It has some bugs, but not enough to make my phone unusable. But I definitely miss the extended settings for GB.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Oh okay, well 3G isn't working yet which wipes out the whole factor of being a 'smart'phone for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Updated post with Timescape for MIUI, if anyone missed the imo useless SE addon :D!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
Woke up late today because phone died. Does WiFi really kill the battery this bad or did I get the grey triangle of death? I have signal where the phone was laying. I'm currently rocking AOKP and Frank (Turtle) kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
looks like you totally lost signal and the radio kept trying to find one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Wifi does NOT kill the battery that bad. And the GN in my experience and others too I see has excellent idle life. Something is wrong.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I have WiFi on 24/7 and have no issues. The Verizon phones are meant to have battery issues aren't they (as in ICS not liking them)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
I received this phone through Amazon on Monday. I can recall about 3 different times where I would be using the phone and have great signal and then all of a sudden I would lose internet connection. It would take a minute or so but it would come back. 2 of those occasions happened before I even rooted the phone. Yesterday, it happened when I was on a call. On all occasions I had at least 2 bars if not more when it happened.

Seems to be when the drop happens I also lose voice. Does anyone else have similar problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
That's due to no cellular reception, not WiFi. The red under, "Mobile Network Signal" represents time where your phone had zero reception.... not to mention that your stats told you that you didn't have signal 93% of the time. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
This, exactly. Almost the entire time you were on battery the phone was searching for a cell signal for voice and SMS, killing your battery.

I have never had even a remotely similar experience, it seems that if you were in the same spot that entire time and that happened, the handset may be faulty and you will want to exchange it for a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Yep. Keep in mind that when your phone loses signal it will increase the power to the radio in an attempt to find a signal (since that's the primary purpose of a phone, or so I'm told). If you know you're in a spot with poor signal, put it in Airplane Mode to keep it from searching (and thus draining the battery).

As mutelight mentions, if your phone is going from good signal to none without moving, there's something else wrong. Trying different radio firmwares may help, or it could be a hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
What's interesting is I left it on my desk. I get good reception at my desk (get 4G there).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I have the problem that after almost every text message I receive, I lose all voice and data signal, but it comes back within 5-10 seconds later. Very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
That is also not normal behavior. Are you running all stock? If so, definitely seek a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
In those situations, put your phone in airplane mode and turn on wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
I just contacted Verizon and Amazon (I bought the phone from them).

Verizon had me pull out the LTE sim and reinsert it. The rep said she did something on her end to refresh my line. I've been around the block to know that means jack **** but we will see.

I spoke with Amazon it was reassuring. If I keep having issues with the signal they will overnight replacement phones. If I keep having an issue with them I can replace them for another phone.

I love this phone so far with the exception of the problem that was stated so far. I already bought all sorts of accessories for the phone. But in the event I have to move on from the GNEX, which phone would you guys recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
I like this phone too much to switch to another brand/phone.

I ended up asking Amazon for a replacement phone. Hopefully this new phone comes without issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Good.

I couldn't come up with a phone I'd rather have than the GNex :-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
Just got the brand new replacements from Amazon. Same exact problem. After speaking to Verizon and Amazon, I'm going to replace the sim. If my problem does not resolve itself, looks like I'm going to AT&T for the Galaxy Note.

Wish me luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
it could be that you lost signal and the phone was unable to get it back for some reason even though you were in a good reception area. Some of the radios that i tried had problems going from edge to 3G and would either take too long or not be able to go back to 3g again. i would try flashing 4.0.3 or a different radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
Conclusion to the story.

I ended up getting the sim cards replaced. Same issue. I was even able to show the rep. Looks like I'm going to end up getting the Galaxy Note.

Thanks to those who replied and read the thread.

Sorry Verizon LTE. It was nice while it lasted (or connected) ;_;
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
have you tried different roms/kernels ?

try to switch it off of 4g

it definitely seems to be a connection issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sardonik:
I had this exact problem with my first Gnex. Left it unplugged on the nightstand and woke to a dead phone. Same battery profile: No mobile signal and a steep discharge graph. My wife's Gnex, 6 ft away in the same room, was just fine.

Verizon swapped me a new phone and I haven't seen that problem again. To be fair, I've only repeated the conditions a few times, so it's hardly conclusive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Def a glitch with the network and signal. Not normal. Bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
@OP and to all having reception issues

update your radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zabalba:
I had the phone exclusively in 3G in order to prevent the phone from dropping off the grid for Verizon. It was the only way I could use it.

I did. I used all 3 in the other radio thread. I had to flash the stock radio since I was going back to Verizon.

Either way the brand new replacement from Amazon glitched out the same way. I have a feeling its a combination of my market and the phone. But I will never be able to figure it out anyway. I'm sending the phones back to Amazon on monday.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monoloco1:
Does anyone know of a ROM that is basically the stock ICS 4.0.3 OTA update for Nexus S i9020T, but modified to be compatible with the Nexus S i9020A (the AT&T compatible one), gets 3G data speeds on AT&T, and is flashable through clockworkmod?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monoloco1:
But that has several modifications to stock, such as root, and custom launchers, and flashing a radio is still required. Is there any Rom that is simply stock ICS adapted for the i9020a?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vargasels:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flh3:
Upgraded to 4.04 on I9020a

I actually just made an account just to be able to post.

I was surprised how easy it was to do the upgrade (i.e., no need to download any other extra files to get it to work). In an hour, I upgraded from stock 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 and then downloaded the 4.04 OTA file, copied it onto the phone, install, and it just worked! Preserved all my settings and did not have to reinstall anything.

While the eye candy is nice-- the phone somehow does not feel as snappy as it used to be.

Thanks for any advice or help.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero_Tab_2011:
Hi,

I can only give you general recommendations.

1. Always back up your applications and data before you start any modification. This includes the original Verizon firmware also using 3rd party tools (ROM manager by ClockworkMod) for example! Transfer this backup to your PC. Since if something goes wrong you can not load back the original Verizon software.

2. Choose your custom firmware and ROM according to the Galaxy Tab model number, vendor and other specifications. This requires a bit search on the net.

3. Read all instructions before you start the modifications.

4. If the device does not load after the reboot because either the ROM or the kernel is not working properly, do not panic as long as you can put it into download mode (yellow Android logo) nothing is lost.

5. Learn how to recover your device using Heimdall or Odin and understand each file and its function these applications are using. Help is also available on the forum regarding this part.

You can find lots of topics on this forum with instructions. Also there are videos on Youtube which can help you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbb2388:
I just want to be sure I can restore different ROMs from Nandroid backups without wiping or resetting? Also, do you rename your backups to identify the rom, etc? Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
No need to wipe. And I've renamed mine and just added _cm9 to end of file name or whatever rom it was at the time
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbb2388:

[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Just a side note on renaming your backups. Make sure you don't put any spaces in the new name. It caused problems for some people.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cubanluke88:
Has anyone tried that boot manager app on the photon? I know its not officially supported but I believe some Motorola phones are. We might get lucky.

Good to see your work back Rixsta. I've been giving codeworkx CM9 a try for a couple of days now, I like it apart from a storage issue. Anyway, found this theme and flashed it, like the look and its a good start.

As always I will give some feedback lol. Not keen on the background in contacts and in menus areas, could do with being more subtle to make it easier to view contacts. Finally, maybe remove the cyan. The red is stunning on its own.

Anyway guys, keep up the great work.

PS.. what cm9 you using?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] D79_:
Loool if they get rid of the cyan then the name "CYANORED" would be pointless haha

Ps. Big up to the guy who did the bat mod, he rocks ;-) lmao
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] anaraxia:
Your pretty smart aint ya!!! I didnt ask for a smartarse answer and especially not from you. Also if you widen your thoughts beyond 'smartarse' thinking then maybe you could see that actually a red theme would work well and maybe the guys would develop that, dependant on feedback and demand, then name it something else. As you know, it couldnt be called Cyanored, that would be pointless. Pretty much like your comment!!

Do you guys have plans for other themes? Cause I'm searching for some "theme makers", they are able to change the basic color of ICS (light blue) to another basic colour (light green for example).

Detailing is really well done - blending of red/blue very nice.

For my personal taste the shade of red is a little too bright.

Battery number in status bar is not readable (maybe i need new glasses).

I couldn't see a way to change the background image for settings etc. I quite like this wall, but i'm sure people are going to want to change it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rory91:
This thread has probably been done before but when using AOSP roms like CyanogenMod or Oxygen I seem to get higher battery drain than using Samsung roms. I would of though the lighter roms built from source would give better battery results, is this normal or is it just me lol :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There's too many variables to say conclusively either way.

The 'lightness' of the rom has nothing to do with it. It's more about usage patterns & phone setups. Obviously kernel will play a big part in battery use as well. Even modem/what kind of signal strength you normally get can play a (normally small) part in battery life. Obviously if you're in a weaker signal strength area the phone has to 'work harder' in order to remain in touch with the nearest cell, and so on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rory91:
Yeah I am in a place with good signal, I might try changing the kernel to a different one to see if that helps.

How did you root your wildfire?

And try unrooting your phone and re-rooting?
[Wildfire General] Deltatiger:
I heard some for some people the touch screen did not work but that could be solved by using a different RUU (i read this when i was looking for guides to root on android 2.2.1 with HBOOT .0002).

But it depends on the method with which you tried S-OFF

revolutionary does not support the HBOOT .80.xxxx and only the 1.01.0002 so check if you are using the specific one.
