[HTC Inspire 4G] badnaam:
I am on CM7 which came with ADW and it was fast. But I need good calendar and power toggle widgets( wife, gps, sync, mobile, brightness..all in one), so I switched to GO Launchers. HOwever, GO seems to be really slow, noticeably so. ANyone else seen this? I did freeze ADW and my quadrant score is actually the same, so it must be a Go Launcher thing?

Are there good power and calendar widgets that you can recommend for ADW?

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mangtas_666:
Yes its the Go launcher,s problem its slow and freezes all the time..why dont you try ADW launcher EX..
[HTC Inspire 4G] pmp47:
I use widgetsoid and pure news widget scrollable...im not sure if they are still on the market though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ProbyWaN:
APW (Android pro widgets) is very good for calendars and different feeds. Elixir is one of the best power toggles I've used. So much stuff you can do with it. And its free!
[HTC Inspire 4G] LieutDan:
Android Agenda Widget - Calendar, Lots of features

Power control can be done via status bar but if you wanting a widget...

Power Control.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tashsru:
i would love to find a nice contacts widget and a messages widget for my htc inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] ProbyWaN:
Apw has the best contact and message widgets, if you get the pro version make sure you install the ics theme for it, it looks superb

After reading a few reviews on here about the generic eBay extended batteries and the overpriced Mugen extended one I decided on the Hyperion 5000 mAh battery.

It was available on Amazon for ~20 bucks + $4.99 shipping: http://amzn.to/xtT3Sf

Performance so far has been GREAT, twice as much as the stock battery probably more - i got 6+ hours of screen time! I would definitely recommend it over the generic eBay crap and the good but WAY overpriced Mugen battery

Here is what it looks like:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tefloncoated:
I have not seen this on eBay yet, but it is available on Amazon (see the link in the original post). With the Amazon option available, I wouldn't buy it from eBay in case you want to return it.

It is a big battery- twice as big as the regular one. But I gotta tell you though i have gotten some crazy screen-on and general use time from it. I am going to try to make a usage numbers screenshot in the next week or so when i take my Note on a 4 hour flight :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] SpyderTracks:
Cheers for the heads up.... That's a beast! very handy for long trips. Juicy :-P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] SayWhat10:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jeromepearce:
I agree, and well-priced too. I may get one just for plane trips and when I will be away from civilization for a while. My Sat-phone can take the comms, my Note can take the gaming! :D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] docsportello:
Personally I opted for a second battery plus the samsung charger. When one is on, the other one is charging... And I can bring it with me in the charger AND use it as a stall to watch TV...

hey buddy can u upload some photos of ur phone with battery??

how many hrs back up ur getting?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PCassels:
Wow! That thing is certainly thick..!

I'm still waiting on the arrival of my Note, but have a look at the "Tecknet iEP387".

Can't post links cos I'm still a noob ^^

To me it makes more sense that I can just sling an external battery pack in my bag to plug in whenever I feel I might need the extra juice. That and of course the 7000mAh capacity is higher (and can do all my devices).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] mr11:

if somebody doesn't care about the size and is without power supply for a long time, it is perfect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] magickiller9:
How thick is it? can it fit in my pocket???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Viamonte:
Stand by time? Not by a long shot. Two official batteries at 2500 will have at least the exact same capacity of an aftermarket 5000, if not more.

ive emailed Dan and i have a good feeling he'll try to help

ill keep you guys up to date here about what he has to say about it.

hi dan i understand that you injoy rooting devices that seem impossible to root were having some big probs over at xdadevelopment getting the lg thrill (p925g) on 2.3.5 gingerbread the v20c for rogers rooted. Weve have tryed all knowing exploits and they all seem to be patched if you could have a look into this for use that would be so awsome. Im sure your a very busy guy so if you cant get around to it dont worry about it im sure some thing will come up eventully thx

-dustin

Could you try the LG Spectrum exploit I published yesterday and let me know if it works?

http://vulnfactory.org/blog

-Dan

thx for replying so fast i just tryed the LG Spectrum exploit and i think its a no go. I get all directory not found and permission denied but then at the end it say exploit complete but i dont get a su app

ok so i tryed root checker app and it says i dont have root access so i guess it didn't work.

Dustin
[LG Thrill 4G] xstokerx:
woohoo so i teamviewed with dan today so he could have a look at my phone and hears the deal

Thanks, I've got all I need for now.

So here's the deal. This device isn't vulnerable to any of the

LG-specific vulns I've stored up. BUT, there is a whole lot of

exposed attack surface (as in, things that I can play with that are

likely to be broken). I've taken a bunch of notes so I can do some

work on my own time. I'll follow up in the next couple days, and I'd

expect it won't be too tough to root this thing. But as I said, I'm

on vacation, so it's going to happen at a...leisurely pace. :-)

Small request from dan....

Would you be able to do me a big favor? I just need the output of the following ADB command:

adb shell ls -l /dev

Also, the build string would be useful, so maybe just the full output of the following?

adb shell getprop

Someone on rogers p925g,try that method: downgrade to 10C,root and upgrade to 20c with the phone's software update option..

right from the phone..
[LG Thrill 4G] crazycage:
Hey Trekfan,

I've been following your threads about this 20c root with Dan since you created them. I'm really hopeful for the root! I prefer using the stock rom too but just have to be rooted to use titanium backup/CWM.

Thanks for all you efforts to get ahold of someone who can help open up more possibilities for our limited phones!

I eagerly await...
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
No it will just give us a process of steps for everyone to follow to get root. Once you get root then you can install cwm and stuff and flash and junk...

[LG Thrill 4G] blkcavy98:
I am with rogers and have the LGP925G and I havent seen no software update option my phone at all. I had to update it using USB
[LG Thrill 4G] johnw230873:
Just tried the downgrade now to 10C (the p920h version) and the software update option isn't under the "About phone" menu. Is there another 10C?

Also tried the AT&T rom, that does have the upgrade option but the phone couldn't find a update server.
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
These are the instructions from dan to try. If anybody wamts to give it a whack....

————————

How about I just give you some instructions and you let me know if it works out.

This relies on the assumption that the /data partition is preserved across update. Do you know if this is the case? As in, are your contacts and apps wiped when you downgrade/upgrade?

If /data is preserved, you can try the following:

1. Downgrade to the most recent rootable build.

2. Root it.

3. Via ADB shell, perform the following:

adb shell

$ su # mv /data/xt9 /data/xt9.bak # ln -s /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /data/xt9

4. Reboot the device.

5. Test the following:

adb shell ls -l /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe

Its file permissions should be -rwxrwxrwx. If it's not (the alternative is probably -rw-r--r--), then don't bother continuing.

6. If this succeeded, upgrade the device to the latest build (20c, I think?).

7. Once the device is upgraded, perform the same command (adb shell ls -l /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe). If the permissions are still -rwxrwxrwx, then we're in good shape and it's just a couple easy steps to root the device.

-Dan
[LG Thrill 4G] jznomoney:
I remember going from v21a to the brazil gb rom data was preserved and it would boot fine. But going from v21a to the rogers gb it would bootloop.
[LG Thrill 4G] arsen4oo:
I have tried it,not working..

I get this result: -rw-r--r--
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
He said this regarding your results...

Before or after the upgrade? And if after the upgrade, what does "adb shell ls -l /data/xt9" show?

-Dan
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
Got another small request for ya arsen4oo.... this is from dan...

That's actually better news. :-)

Could you send me /init.rc and any other .rc files from the rooted device? Just "adb pull /init.rc" etc.

Come to think of it, you might need to make them world-readable in order for ADB to pull them. Something like:

adb shell su cp /init.rc /data/local/init.rc chmod 777 /data/local/init.rc

Then adb pull /data/local/init.rc

Thanks, Dan
[LG Thrill 4G] arsen4oo:
I guess Dan did it..
[LG Thrill 4G] johnw230873:

Thank you so much. Worked flawlessly on two LG Optimus 3D running GB 2.3.5.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I'm feeling somewhat disappointed on Asus's decision to move the transformer towards the direction the ipad is taking by making slight hardware changes and massively bumping up the display.

I remember when apple invented the 'retina display' buzzword for ips panels a few years ago - marketing them as having the most pixels your eyes can see from a holding distance. Now apple is keeping the tablet the same size and bumping up the pixel density 4 times with suspected plans of marketing that as being better. How? They've already stated more pixels would be redundant.

At this point the tablet to buy isn't looking like the ipad 3 or the tf700, lenovo is sweeping in with the ideapad k2 to offer more hardware changes (usb on the tablet, 1.7ghz t3, fingerprint scanner, possible keyboard dock) as well as a high def display.

What kind of change will these displays provide? Drastic?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Cons

decreased battery life slight

slightly decreased performance..

more screen defects ( however you would never notice a dead pixel! being so small)

higher cost of the tablet most high resolution tablets will start at 599 including the iPad3

most people will not be able to tell the difference

Media in that format (2k) would fill your 32gbs so quickly!

Less vivid colors/contrast ratio/refresh rate? (correct me if I am wrong)

Pro's

about Twice the amount of pixels! (4x the pixels in the case of the iPad3)

sharper text!

better looking movies if you can fit them on the tablet!

Bragging rights?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
I've counted them (the pixels) and the difference is that the count took two times as long! :eek::D;)

But seriously, there is a point when it would be hard to see a difference, where more pixels would NOT really make a clearer screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I was offered a full refund on my prime and dock and am thinking about taking it... and seeing what MWC has to offer... maybe the samsung galaxy note 10.1 or something else lenovo maybe.....

maybe they will pull something off and release a Nexus tab

idk what to do but I want this things headaches gone.....

I am sorry that you are having problems with the Prime. However nothing you have said is actually relevant to the conversation that this thread was started with. Please try to keep on-topic, there are plenty of other threads where you can discus your tablet problems.

With regards to pixel density... it very much depends on how you use your Prime. If you read a lot on the Prime and have noticed pixelation in small text, then yes, upping the pixel density would improve your tablet experience. If you mainly watch videos then you probably won't notice the extra pixels on the size of screen that the Prime has.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
The exact same debate took place when 1080P TV's came out. People that already bought 720P used the same defenses as to why 1080P TV's are overkill. 80% of high-def TV's sold last year were 1080P. Does anyone not think Apple's going to spend a gazillion dollars convincing the world life as we know will end if you don't have a retina (HD) display? Asus, Acer, and Samsung aren't introducing HD displays because it's practical, it's to combat Apple. How many of you expect your next phone to be qHD or 720P? And its only got a 4-5" display. Whether you personally care or not, tablets with HD displays are going to become the norm (potentially impacting the resale value of those that don't have it).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SWYRx:
How is 1920x1200 = 2k?

And because the prime has that resolution doesn't mean there will be a lot of content using the extra 120 pixels lol.

it will be 1080p content with black bars on top and bottom, no difference in file sizes at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I guess it depends. In my opinion its all about what you're used to. For example, i'm used to gaming on a PC. There you use Anti-Aliasing on the games in 1080p, so i'm used to perfectly sharp images without any jagged edges. If I see the same games on a Xbox i always think the graphics are horrible, while most people think there are some amazing looking games on the xbox...

And i used to play Tomb Raider 1 on my old PC in 320x240 on a 15" CRT monitor. That was bad dpi. I still enjoyed it very much :)

So atm i have a 27" PC/TV combo monitor with 1080p. Thats what my eyes are used to. So my prime looks sharper to me than my PC monitor, and i think my PC monitor is more than sharp enough :) i hope you see now where i'm getting. I also cant tell the difference in dpi from my 800x480 4.3" phone to the iphone display...

What i'm trying to say, no one needs that kind of resolution. Its just nice to have, and once you got used to it, you probably dont wanna go back. All things aside, I think the Prime's screen is absolutely beautiful.

So if I had to compare 2 devices with different resolution the one very sharp, the other very very sharp I would look on all the other features first.

For example if the TF700T would have like 1 hour less battery life and would be heavier i'd still go for the Prime.

If we're talking RUMOURED ipad 3 resolution, well just think about this. Watching movies in that resolution (you first had to get them somehow, as far as i know all movies are max 1920x1080 today?) would be pretty sharp right. But because of a screen format that hasnt been used anymore since 10 years you will only be using a very small part of that screen to actually watch that movie.

Now everyone has to decide for themselfs, but for me there are FAR FAR more important features than resolution (especially if the difference is barely visable for me).

But people have spent huge amount of money on unuseful tech for lesser reasons :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
Off course yu can see the difference. Just take a look at your phone display(800*480 or higher), you'll notice that it's much sharper than any tablet screen.

The biggest "problem" of resolutions that high is that the graphics processor has to deal with much more pixels(in our case 2304000(1920*1200)/10024000(1280*800)=2,25 times).

In the case of games this could mean games running at less than half the speed(FPS), assuming it has the same CPU/GPU combination.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Electrofreak:
Well, it won't have the exact same GPU, and the iPad 2 has a pretty ridiculously powerful PowerVR GPU. However I question Apple's choice to use GPUs that tend to focus on polygon performance instead of fill rate performance particularly when they're looking to dramatically increase screen resolution.

Apple is running out of things to say is best with the iPad / iPhone short of gimmicks like Siri and "retina" displays. They're going to pay for it in other areas though, they're going to need to have a GPU with a killer fill rate, and though the current SGX543MP2 can probably manage, doubtless they'll cram something that eats even more power into the iPad 3.

The thing that most Apple users don't know is that most of the tablet apps they'll be buying off the market won't make use of the high resolution or the processor, as the majority will have been built to run on the now-comparatively-pathetic iPad 1. At least we're seeing THD apps that make use of the additional processing power our tablets have to offer. I've yet to hear of Apple app developers doing the same, though I assume it'll have to happen at some point.

And finally, to answer the question of the OP, I highly doubt there will be any noticeable difference at the distance most of us hold a tablet. It's a little different for the iPhone; with a 3.5 inch screen you have to hold it a lot closer if you're reading text because it's that much smaller. Comparing smartphone display resolution to tablet display resolution is rather pointless as we hold them at different distances from our face depending upon the size of the display and the text / images on the screen.

Holding my TFP at its general 2-foot viewing distance, I'm hard pressed to make out any individual pixels, and my vision is 20/20. I won't be trading in my TFP for an iPad because of of difference in pixel density I may never even notice!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdanders:
I personally think that for most people these super high resolutions on small screens are pretty pointless. Maybe it's because I'm 35 and don't have the same vision I did 15 years ago :-)

All I know is I'm perfectly happy with 1920 x 1080 on my 70 inch TV :-)
