[Captivate Themes and Apps] TRusselo:
to de-compile ICS apks without error you will have to find the new updated AAPT.exe files and add them to the apktools ... ? bin folder??? er... sorry not at home. look through its folders and find the old one, and replace with new. ALSO add the updated AAPT files to " C:/Windows/ " as some times it will look for it there and other tools may install it there as well. I was unable to de-compile until i added it there.

APK_Manager ... er updated name...?? APK toolbox??

apktools...

xda auto-tools...

all does the same things and all need the aapt update to decompile ICS as they all use the same base tools through a different GUI...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] oohyeah:
I had the G Nexus for a short while before the Note, and I loved the GNex's 4.65" screen.

At first, I thought the GNex's 'no-capacitative' buttons feature was an advantage over the Note, because the Note was wasting space with the buttons there rather than being able to free it up had it been software buttons instead.

Then I took a closer look and thought about it some more, and came to the opposite conclusion - it's an ADVANTAGE for the Note to have the capacitative buttons!

This is because what the Note effectively did, was to NOT waste the real screen's real estate with software buttons, by putting those buttons much further down on the phone, right up to the edge of it. I don't think that the screen could go anywhere near as close to the bottom edge of the screen, so since there's space there, why waste it? Why not use it by putting capacitative buttons (plus a physical button which I love, btw) there, so that the screen doesn't have to ever bother with having buttons on it when ICS comes?

Look at the G Nexus:

Yes, it's 4.65", but in real-life, it's only 4.65" when you watch movies!! All other times, the bottom part of the screen is taken up by the buttons! Wouldn't it have been much better to have used up the big black space at the bottom by putting the buttons there instead??

So in reality, the G Nexus is more like a 4.3" phone.

If G Nexus is 4.65", then for 99% of the time you use your phone, the Note should therefore be about 5.6" if you count the space that's occupied by the capacitative buttons below!

Anyway, that was one of the reasons I sold the GNEx and got the Note!

(More reasons here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22551945&postcount=4 )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
They can never remove the bottom chunk there, even if you were to remove the physical buttons completely.

This is due to the antenna and other communicative parts being located at the bottom (they're not allowed to be placed at the top no more out of fear that it might kill and deep fry your gray matter).

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Huh?

http://phone-size.com/?s=3,6

Doesn't look right to me...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CorruptedSanity:
I agree that physical buttons are better than prominent capacitive ones like in the GNexus.

Therefore the GN is as you say about 4.3" but the Note is still 5.3".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] oohyeah:
Yes, and that's my point. Since you can't remove it, you may as well put the capacitative buttons (and even a physical home button) there, like with the Note! That way, you free up the screen real-estate permanently!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Can you disable the buttons on g nexus?

You could get access to the rest of your screen, just install button savior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazenimad:
My question here is if i decided to wipe only my internal sdcard contents, because of slow performance of I/O and files not showing in windows, will the ROM still be there or will it get wiped along with it.

I know that if i wipe data/factory reset in CWM recovery the sdcard will NOT be wiped, but my question is the other way round.

Thanks for help :)

I received my SGS2 from Samsung after sending it in for repair cracked screen.

Before the service I was on rooted stock ROM 2.3.6, and I was hoping the root can be retained during the service, but now:

1. Install SuperUser zip file in recovery mode failed

2. TiBu complained about no root access

Is that pretty clear my phone is no longer rooted? Anything else to check to confirm?

thanks,

It's pretty clear that it is not rooted.

Just to get this right - you sent it to repair a screen, and they reflashed your device? Who did this repair?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fallguy7822:
How much was it to get it repaired, i also need my screen repaired
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rivendell:
Right, I sent to Samsung (in Plano TX) for repair screen, and here are some notes from their tracking system.

Apparently, they did certain amount of functional testing after the repair. I remember that I was told when I arranged the repair that all data will be wiped out, but not sure if their standard policy is to reload/flash the standard ROM as part of their functional testing.

[HTC Rezound] Shanayo:
Up until now, I've always charged my Rezound with it turned on; but today, I turned it off then attempted to charge. The orange charge light turned on, then went off. I attempted to turn on the phone, and it wouldn't. (46% charged at the time). I pulled the battery and reinserted while plugged in and the issue remained. I was only able to regain access to my phone by unplugging and waiting a duration of time before putting the battery back in and turning it back on. However, any attempts to charge it while its powered off failed. I used the original charger and a genuine samsung charger as an alt: the issue is consistant.

The battery is 3.8v genuine

I'm currently running Cleanrom 2.3

Additionally, I'm using CWM Touch

Thank you for the help.

I just installed RandomKing's "ThunderHawk III Final" rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343669

I noticed I have a bug with my wireless not working, and wanted to report that, but apparently the forum prevents new users from posting to development threads. Must I really make 10 random posts just so I can do that? (I realize I may be able to PM RandomKing directly, but I figure it'd be good for other users to also be aware of what bugs are out there for these roms ...)

I guess I'm a little annoyed at being prevented from doing something that I considered "good" for the community ... :P

[General Questions and Answers] butsuriboy:
Yeah, I read through the tread, and as far as I can tell, the bug's been persistent through several versions of the rom. It was claimed that it was fixed with his latest version, but I guess not ...

The only fix I had found was to reboot the phone :P Today, the "app" to make calls (I think it's called "phone?") crashed several times, meaning I can't call people reliably, so I think I'm going to try a different rom. Thanks again for your help though!
[General Questions and Answers] joekmk:
same here. I'm having an issue with another rom myself, and just want to post to the developer a major bug that I am having. I read throug the entire forum post for that rom, and no one else mentioned the issue that I'm having.

its pretty bazaar that I when I answer a call waiting call no one can hear me. If I switch back to the original call, the same problem happens no one can hear me. This is only when i get another incoming phone call.

The rom i installed is for Energy Rom sense 3.5

i can reach charge screen by plugging it in, sadly when it occurred i didn't realize the button wasn't functioning and thought it just froze so i pulled the battery out, now i can't boot. :X

EDIT: its busted for sure, the button is loose, and pops out a bit on one side.

Close this ****, ADB is my best friend and its nice always having debugging on. :)

really simple actually, get adb, run "adb reboot".

Done.

If you don't want to carry a laptop or computer around try this

it takes some work but at the end it will be easier

1. get an old toy or anything you don't need that has 2 or 3 AA battery slots.

2. take it apart and take the part you put the batteries in with the wires there will probably be a red wire and a black wire or a red wire and a yellow wire.

3. take an old USB cable you don't need that fits your phone and tear it apart and keep the side that fits your phone

4. use electrical tape or a soldering iron and solder or tape the usb black wire to the toy's black wire and red usb wire to red toy wire.

5.plug in your phone and it will start up.

It does this because the 2 or 3 double A batteries provide as much power as pressing a power button for a few seconds to turn it on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Alright my Prime has been a month and a week old. But it has come to my attention that I have a BCOKA model, and a sudden realization that my Prime's wifi is a lot weaker than my friends' C1 models with only two bars of wifi when I'm only one floor directly beneath the router. Not to mention my lcd screen had separated from the aluminum unit one time before. Am I able to send it back in hopes of getting a newer model?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You can send it in for warranty repair. RMA it. If screen coming off, that's a warranty claim unless they see you caused it from abuse. Then just tell them about the wifi also. Don't count on a new model unless they figure not worth fixing. Then they'll send you a new one. But only then. So if you go in trying to ask for a completely new device, they will think something is up. Just send it in. It'll wither get fixed or replaced. Bottom line. Don't worry about if its a newer model or not. Even newer models seem to vary. Plus I hope you not basing your friends better wifi signal off of Asus wifi bars..lol. that's not an accurate portrayal of signal strength at all. Use wifi analyzer on both devices to compare the db strength between the two devices. Not just some bars..lol

[HTC Rezound] Swifty31703:
I am looking to get some data to figure out a problem I am having. Yes it is about battery life. I just want to find out if others are having the same problems and what they are running. The firmware/software combos could change the battery life 180 degrees.

I could last 16 to 24 hours on a standard battery back on stock GB rom. I ran the OTA update but didn't stay on it long enough to compare battery life to the stock. I can run any GB rom and get the 16 to 24 hours still. The one thing I can't do is run ICS roms. My battery can drain up to 10% every 5 min for some unknown reason and the battery averages 110 to 120 degrees. I have wiped and reflashed many different ICS roms and still get the same results. Once I go back to GB i have no issues what so ever. I believe the OTA was built after the ICS leaks we have gotten a hold of so far, which might make them incompatible with phones that got the OTA.

I would like to see who has stock to ICS rom and OTA to ICS rom, and if they are having unusual battery issues.

Please post your software setups as well if you don't mind.

My setup:

Amon Ra

Enffabilis Dues 1.0.2

Stock ICS kernel

Screen brightness set to lowest level

Only Gmail and 3 hour Weather syncing
[HTC Rezound] joey2164:
I believe I was stock, I opened my retail box and unlocked about 20 minutes later.

Amon Ra

CleanROM 2.3

Scrosler's packaged kernel? Stock if not.

Auto brightness. Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Words autosync.

About 8 hours battery life. Average from what I hear for ICS. Minor to moderate use.
[HTC Rezound] confused2much:
I voted OTA to ICS no problems, but I honestly am not 100% sure I had the OTA before flashing. Either way, I have great standby battery life. But it does drop quickly when being used. I can easily get through a day on the standard battery under normal circumstances where as I couldn't with my thunderbolt.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I hear quite a lot about them, but don't know much about them. Tbh, I've been so into Xperia PLAY games that I haven't been doing much of anything with emulators.

A lot of emus have generic key support, but does the creator's emphasis ln Xperia PLAY mean touchpads are supported?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
No the touch pads are not supported but all the buttons should be mapped as defult, They also come up in launcher. These emus are great all of them run very well best fps and all very smooth. Try the Snes one out for free its on his site here http://www.explusalpha.com/. also if you get the md.emu he will also be updating it to Sega CD as well soon. all his emus are better then oids:)

Not sure where you got that. The touchpads are supported by Mupen64 and PSXperia, which covers N64 and PSX. That covers the two most emulatable consoles with analog input.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I have the following emulaters, nes snes Genesis, n64 gameboy advance. I have them modified to show up in the games launcher. All are free on slideme except n64. I can post them if you like? Also all support key mapping to the hardware keys, no touchpads. The games run great. I especially love the Tiger arcade and play all ly Neo Geo and cps1 cps2 games. Plus river arcade supports saves if you buy of for $5 and have netplay unlocked as well in the paid version. Love it.

I did not modify these emulaters. I simply found them on a forum. It might have even been this forum. Again if people want them I can post a link I have for them I will include the Nintendo gba nes snes Genesis. If you want the tiger arcade just do a search for tiger arcade and download tjw free version from the devs site. You can then pay for it via the unlock feature inside the software.

I am not a developer so I don't understand why it is so hard to receive updates on some android devices.

Today, particularly I am concerned with the ICS update . Why is it that even though TF meets all the hardware requirements it still can't receive ICS?

To a n average user like me this is like saying "we both have similar computers but Windows 7 won't work on yours and it's nothing do do with hardware".......
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
it is not the same at all. For windows computers all of the components are supported by their respective manufactures and all of those manufactures write the drivers for the operating system. By doing this you can install windows (or linux) on most platforms because of the cumulative support. In android there are many more steps. Most drivers have to be written by a single manufacturer which may get hardware from other manufactures but they do not provide software support for that hardware. writing those drivers takes some time and implementing them into each release of android as it changes the parameters it accepts ect. then each device has to be tested rather than just testing one part to make sure everything is in order then it goes through google who do even more checks to make sure that it is near perfect before it is released to the general public
