[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] loudog3114:
This is my constant issue with android. Stock, this device comes with 7 home screen pages. So, out of the box I set up 10 widgets and a bunch of icons on each page. Upon doing so, a few days in, I started to experience some serious home screen lag; icons loading slowly, transitions stuttering, etc. So I slowly started to clear up the pages. Now, I am down to 3 pages with widgets/icons on them. Only now is the home screen responsive and lag-free. So, my question is... if you are able to take advantage of all 7, how do you do so without creating lag? And if its just not possible, why do these OEM's build the OS with so many home screen pages when the device will just tank after using 50% of them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mrandyp69:
I never used all 7. I have three as well. Its a resource hog to have a bunch of widgets IMO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] inconceivable:
I think it's more of a personal thing as well as a common sense thing. Just like on a computer, you CAN have 100 different applications open and running at once but it's going to slow your machine down to a crippling halt. Alternatively, you can keep a few open at a time. It's the big difference between Android and iPhone really - Android is more capable/powerful but it requires more user management whereas iPhone can be really limiting but doesn't really make you think about anything.

Samsung is probably making that many screens available to accommodate people coming from an iPhone who aren't used to an app drawer. They don't anticipate you're going to try to run widgets on every screen but instead think you're trying to just put all your app icons on the home screens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] loudog3114:
I feel the same as far as the android/iphone comparison. Android is by far more capable, but also by far easier to screw up. My beef with that is that, unlike a computer... when your system starts running slowly, you cant just open up taskmgr and see "ohh xxx.exe is hogging ram and using 75% cpu". All the task managers for android seem pretty much useless to me. Every one I have used reports different memory usage amounts, and forget cpu usage... not even remotely accurate.

Hi,

Just now as i was fideling with my ob, i found some shortcuts that will for sure save your precious time a little (if you already haven't placed shortcuts for them in your homescreens).

In the notification bar the toggles when long pressed opens up their respective settings screen

1. Sound - Sound settings

2. Wifi - Wifi settings

3. Bluetooth - Bluetooth settings

4. Gps - Gps settings and

5. Data connectivity - Network settings.

If you didn't already know this than a thanks is much appriciated.

[LG Optimus Black] pritrixda:
No there ain't a way to change these in the stock roms.

Use extended control or some other app like that to place shortcut widgets of those in your homescreens.

I just updated my Chrome Beta from the Market... and now it's refusing to start!

I get an error message "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android. Version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwitch) is the minimal supported version"

HAHAHA!!! What the heck! I am on ICS!!!

So be aware... do not update Chrome!

I am on CM9 A2... was working fine until I went to market... noticed an update... installed update... BOOM!!! not compatible!

I cleared data... uninstall and reinstall... no dice.

If you do a search for Chrome it shows up... installs fine... which would mean that it's supported but it's not.

So do not update to the latest Beta. Wait until Google figures out what's wrong with it first.

Damn... now I have to see if I had made a back up of the old one... Does any one have an apk of the previous builds?

Got it back!!! I didn't have a backup but my Captivate ICSSGS V4.2 had Chrome Beta... without the latest update... I got Chrome working on TP working again. Phew!!! I was starting to like Chrome a lot on my TP...
[TouchPad General] icanhazbeer:
Google has disabled Chrome for custom ROMS, including CM9. I cannot post a link due to my post count, but there are articles out there.
[TouchPad General] cvcduty:
That stinks!!! I have not read that article... but I just saw a blurp on Engadget about the enhancements the new updated version brings! Why would Google want to shut down custom ICS roms!!! Open Source... wasn't that the name of their game????!!!
[TouchPad General] eclass82:
YEAH What the heck, I did the same thing as you, I downloaded the update and bammmm "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android"

Ohh come on...
[TouchPad General] flightsimmer:
I am so glad I saw this thread before I updated Chrome on my TP. I installed ICS on my GS2 today and saw the update. It ran fine on there (it's a "custom" ROM based on the stock rom), but when I got home that would have been the first update I ran on the TP. It's a good thing the WiFi here at the office doesn't work in CM9, else I'd be in the same boat!

HP Touchpad running CM9 Alpha 2

Here is how I fixed it: Back up your build.prop, and find the line for ro.build.id and change the value to IML74K. Reboot. Enjoy new Chrome update.

I haven't found that the change breaks anything.
[TouchPad General] Donmotobike:

Thanks, changing the build prop worked wonderfully on my HP Touchpad.

Also, the fix worked beautifully on my phone as well:

[TouchPad General] jaju123:
I found that it lagged horribly anyway. Is this only me?
[TouchPad General] Unrealwolf:
It's rather laggy browser, yes. Loading time is not nice on TPm and on SGS it's nearly unusable because of the ram consumption.

By the way, it's not the Google who is breaking Chrome, it's CM9

https://twitter.com/#!/zenkilye/status/173285449106849794
[TouchPad General] bp_:
I would think this means there is a good chance this can be resolved in the next version of CM9 then.
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Changing ro.build.id to IML74K and rebooting works for me. The build.prop should probably be this way by default, maybe next alpha release they will fix it.

New version feels a little faster than the old one
[TouchPad General] gaz31:

[TouchPad General] quarlow:
I don't understand why so many people are concerned about the chrome beta. Is there a user agent fix that I am not aware of? I tried to use it, but constantly looking for links to full sites is so annoying, and takes way more time that could possibly saved with faster rendering. I still feel like ICS Browser + is better, you get the thumb controls, and it allows a user agent selection.

chromestevejobwannabe??

well first dumb move from Google.... flash dying but everyone uses it...I'm asking eyeball is there a command or hack to make it work with chrome beta? anyone? it sucks when you open website and you see the missing flash plugin icon...
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Unless Adobe changes things, Flash will not be ported to Jelly Bean, ICS is the last version they promised. I'm guessing Chrome will become the regular Android browser with Jelly Bean and they are doing the beta testing with ICS. Since Jelly Bean won't have flash support what would be the point of including it with Chrome.

Hopefully Adobe's flash continues to work on newer versions of Android even if its unsupported. I'm not sure why everyone hates it, its still used a lot more than HTML5 and it runs pretty well on newer devices.
[TouchPad General] eyeballer:
If you need to browse a site with flash just open the link in the stock browser/any other browser...

/me shrugs
[TouchPad General] domenci:
So does anyone have an understanding of WHY the build ID is a GB one instead of ICS? There must be a reason the CM team did that to begin with...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
silver... excellent work again amigo! I'm testing the UCLA3 kernel zip you PM'd me and all good so far. I wiped cache partition first, then CWM flashed the kernel zip. Script worked without a hitch. Rebooted, and confirmed kernel playing well so far. Did a SpeedTest.net test and it's about twice as fast on 4G (I was getting around 3700 kbps on KK1 kernel... now on getting ~ 8100 kbps on UCLA3 kernel). I already had the UCLA3 ROM and UCLA modem flashed but the missing piece was this kernel.. very happy with it so far.. great work guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freeman9911:
I've just applied the kernel through CWM after wiping cache, delvik and battery stats..rebooted and Kernel still shows 2.6.35.11 under "about phone"!!

Thanks!! Confirmed it works on Alien 5.5. Will have to test and see how it performs. Looks good, till now. Of course, I had flashed the UCLA3 radio on top of Alien 5.5, first.

The only thing is the Alien 5.5 boot animation is gone and you have the AT&T rethink possible wallpaper (no animation), initially I thought it was stuck, but realized the animation is in the boot.img (I am guessing), it does boot up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Just a quick note...

I think I read this somewhere else, but I'll put it here incase it helps someone else. I noticed my bottom 4 touch keys wouldn't light up after flashing the Kernel. I went to settings and saw that they were still set to "stay on" (which I keep that way). I unchecked the box and re-checked it and they only stayed on until I left "settings" and turned off again. I went into Clockwork Mod and "fixed permissions" and all seems to work fine now...lights are lit. Very simple but maybe it will help someone else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
I did pretty much the exact Same thing and my buttons light up as normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Seems I spoke too soon. It worked for a while, but then I noticed when I hit the power button "to put the phone to sleep" they sometimes come back on and sometimes don't? I tried fixing permissions and wiped the delvik cache a couple of times already.

I only "wiped the delvik cache" before I installed the kernel. DO you think I need to go back and take some additional steps and try to re-install the Kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Im going to suggest. Wipe data/ cache and go to mounts then format system and flash....skyeocket sometimes has a strange issue where even after you wipe. Theres alot stored in cache that lingers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I'm only flashing this kernel and no the ROm itslef (I flashed the radio already). Will doing what you suggest hose my user data (ie. the way my icons are set, dowloaded apps, phone contacts...etc). I always do nandroids, but I was just wondering if it does anything to ROM itself. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Silver.... are you planning on leaving this kernel as pure UCLA3 stock or possibly adding some minor kernel tweaks? If so, please add "OTG-USB" hosting support to the list. For some reason Samsung doesn't enable this functionality yet for the SR. I believe it involves turning on some flag setting but involves decompiling/recompiling kernel and is beyond my skill set!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
OK, here is where I saw this same issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1509499&page=25

It starts at post 250 and continues onto the next few pages and has been confirmed by others. This seems to be a bug in this Kernel. It only seems to happen when the touch keys are set to "always on".

Do you think there is a way to fix it? Maybe taking only the corresponding parts from Samsungs previous Kernel (before the update) and placing the code in the newer Kernel (this Kernel) could fix the issue?

I'll buy you another 6 pack if you can get the touch key "always on" working (LOL)! Besides this issue, it seems pretty darn nice so far.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Well, the new kernel is supposed to be an upgrade, so you should see improved performance over the KJ2 stock kernel. (Of course, there could be bugs that need to be worked out, but theoretically if AT&T was pushing this out officially it should be well tested).

The most significant change is no more Carrier IQ! (Unless of course they just found a better way to hide it--someone more knowledgeable than me on kernels may chime in...). In most custom KJ2 roms posted here, CIQ was still present, but disabled. It is now GONE! At least that appears to be the case...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
Want to put the new kernel and radio on my Rogers 727R which is rooted, stock and CWM. The reason not putting on the whole ROM is that I will lose Rogers specific features, including hotspots without mods, and also NFC which I think is also Rogers specific.

My question is, when I install the new UCLA3modem.zip and the new UCLA3_stock_kernel.zip, will they work with my existing Rogers ROM and retain those features.

Also is there a specific order I should put them on, or does it not matter.

I'm not sure if those features are in the Kernel, or in the ROM.
