Can you base your version on zsle5? Since the hot latest ROM neo I'd based on that base... It.will be easier to test and use both the roms
[Motorola Droid RAZR] facinater:
Can I do a nandroid backup of my Razr and restore it to my MAXX?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
I know its the same software on the basic phone so say both phones are rooted running the same thing and you just wanna make sure all your programs come backI would just take a guess and say yes. Key word (GUESS).LOL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] w8-4-me:
Why not just do a backup with Titanium Backup and then restore in the maxx? I did it from my DX to my Maxx.
[HTC Rezound] bmwhartgeM3:
So my battery drained out and died on me, I go to plug it in and the orange light comes on for 3 seconds and shuts off. I let it sit try to power it up after about 15 mins nothing. I go to bed wake up try to turn it on and nothing. Why wont my phone charge?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Do you have ClockWorkMod installed? There are known issues about this. Best thing to try is pull the battery, plug it all in and try to boot into recovery/hboot. Let the battery charge a bit there then reboot the phone and let it charge to full
[HTC Rezound] bmwhartgeM3:
I do have clockwork recovery, but I cant boot at all battery drained right out, so there isnt even power to turn on at all.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
yea clockworkmod is probably your problem there are plenty of posts explaining this

do u have an external charger you can plug it in? or phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hello guys !

Im a newbie and i have a question. Which is more secure and stable ? A Custom Rom or Stock Rom ?

Which do you use an recommend, Stock or Custom Rom ? Its not a question about which Custom Rom ;-)

If there is already a similar Thread, i apologize...

Taptalked by GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
The stock rom is probably what you want to stay on for stability. if you want really cool customization and tweaks go with a custom rom, but remember if you are on a custom rom you cant take OTA updates from google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I know that, but I think also about, is it really possible, that maybe 10 people can make a better Rom? Google has many employees which working on this for long time. Sorry my english isnt perfect, I hope you understand what I mean.

Taptalked by GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gifton1:
You have to remember that the majority of people probably dont want a phone which they can customise in any which way that they want. Google need to cater for the masses and create an OS that is at least relatively simple.

Individuals on forums such as these however, feel differently and love the chance for customization. The developers working on after market ROMS create those options and customizations for people that really want them. And their ROMS are based on the source code provided by Google and their many employees - so nothing is lost in that sense.

This is what I think any way! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Are they all "better"? No. Do they offer more features/customization? Yes. Do these features/customization often break something that already works? Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Sometimes it's only one "dev" kanging code.

Regardless, we have some VERY talented devs here. And it's not like they are creating android from scratch, they are using the code that Google has open sourced, so all of the custom roms are essentially STOCK + unique features not part of AOSP. This also makes them not as stable as stock android, pick your poison :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That was a good answer !

Thats where is my point, di

oes it really make sense...all time Full-Wipe...backup..flash gapps...then something doesnt work..

but on the other side it looks awesome ! Its just, what do they really change ? Is it stil safe for me as user ?

Taptalked by GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I think custom roms can often be more stable because bugs are constantly found and fixed on a daily basis. A stock rom may have a bug but will take months for the next update from google.

Also custom roms are just stock roms with additions, so its the same code base anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
its mostly about the tweaks that Google didn't put in .. all roms are the same to me since they all base off 4.0.x unless someone builds a sense or Touchwiz rom.

The only thing that makes roms different is the feature list and kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
It's all very easy once you do it a few times. Customization is awesome. Like the full screen mod getting rid of the softkeys so anything that your doing (game, videos, etc) that keeps the softkeys there, will now be full screen without the softkeys. Just little things like that plus much more than make custom roms better than stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Bugs are constantly found for custom ROMs because they've not been tested so much compared to stock before they are being released. (Not saying that stock is bug free but each official version has gone through aggressive testing)

If stability and security are your top concerns then stay stock - this is a no-brainer. Custom ROMs are for people who are more adventurous and want to have more fun with their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
So there are more people on Stock or on Custom Roms ? I heard that many people say its a "developer phone", but on the other Hand people say they bought it because they dont want to flash anymore C-Roms.

Taptalked by GNex --STOCK--
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
Many people want different things, that's why there are custom roms

Did i help you? Click the thanks button!

Device: Galaxy Nexus ROM: Gummy Kernel:Franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Of course there are way more people on stock than rom flashers. People like my mom got the phone to use it, not to flash ROMs.

When people said 'it's a developer phone', it doesn't mean the phone is not suitable for daily use or only developers know how to use it. On the contrary, it's a phone that showcases how the latest OS SHOULD look and feel like. It serves as a reference point to how developers should design their apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Good answer !

I read a lot of problems like massive battery drain or FCs etc. etc. also I read about speed improvements and great battery life. I can change already a lot of things with a different Launcher.

Taptalked by GNex --STOCK--
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
The thing with all product discussion forums is, people will only post/seeking help if they ran into problems. (Will you go to a Samsung forum and start a thread with 'my TV/camera is working as intended?' ) So these forums are always filled with error reports/complaints. Sometimes it's hard to see if it's really error by design or just the unlucky few with defective devices.

XDA makes it even more complicated because this is a modding community. Half of the complaints are probably just human errors - bad flash, wrong radio, incompatible apps the list goes on...

Long answer short, you DON'T have to mod your phone to reap all its benefits. You are not missing out things if you don't want to customize it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I completly agree, thats why I also started this thread. I was talking with some people about it. Its nice to customize, but do i need these small things with the possibility to get issues

Are you on Stock ?

Taptalked by GNex --STOCK--
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yojimb0:
Brother man its all about what you want and love. I could nit would not run stock. I have way more fun with custom roms. But to each there own. I must say, I would never have my mother run a custom from. First I would be her tech support, next its not what she needs. But you keep having fun with what you need / do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I was actually talking about bugs in stock. Its much quicker to fix them in custom roms since the fix will be rolled out in a few days, but we'd be waiting months to get the same fix from google in an update.

Sure new bugs from custom roms may appear too from the new additions. But its still all the stock code base anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastasauce:
ROMs are usually the result of tweaking, prodding, removal to enhance the phone's ability to function. Some things aren't necessary, and some things can be made to cater to a specific user. Obviously, google cannot cater to individual needs, but that's why so many ROMs exist, you can found out what you like and stick to it!

That's why I switched to android from my iPhone 4s. I love messing with my phone, and android is the platform that encourages this :D

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/beats-audio-now-available-on-any-gingerbread-rom/

I Flashed The Zip! I dnt KNow If The Sound Improved! But My DSP Manager Wont Work Now :(!

Can Someone Try It Out Now!???
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Aww. I thought this was a free pair of Beats Audio for Gingerbread users. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] zee54:
Darn it ... I've been waiting for this, but I'm on ICS :(
[Galaxy S II General] brunofm:
I would post in the original topic asking for help, but my posting privileges don't allow me yet so here it is. I tried flashing that zip using OpenRecovery on my Motorola Milestone with CM7, but I keep getting an error: Status 0 and then "Installation aborted". Can I only flash that using CWM, or is there something wrong with the files? I already renamed the zip to "update.zip" just in case.
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
In the original topic, someone already responded to this question: you first need to mount /system manually.
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
Turned off equalizer and tuning in Poweramp and listened before and after flashing this. Undoubtly a huge difference, at least I like it :)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Problem is its an equalizer with settings non changeable .

Does it make any difference ???

My tests 50% No 50% maybe .

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and placebos can also work for some .

Nandroid backup install and try is all you can do as its not removable .

Further tests

Volume level is probably up by 1%.

Playback is the same as my current setup apart from a bit of distortion at the peak with louder sounds . A bit like standing next to the instrument rather than in the audience .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] harise100:
+1

I can hear a difference doing the same too.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Also possible that your zip file is corrupt. Download again.
[Galaxy S II General] Try4Ce:
In the original thread they mentioned they tried it on CM7, MIUI and CM9, and claimed that it even works on ICS.

Maybe somebody can test? My Device is backupping right now :P
[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
Of course it wont work...

It's like ripping the toilet out of your bathroom and replacing it with a bucket......

It does the same job but its much less efficient and lacking basic features......

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
Weird, how would this make a difference? i have some knowledge with supercurio's work, hardware limitations overall prevent amazing sound. Having beats codec wouldn't make a big diff even if you have a beats headphone.
[Galaxy S II General] amus76:
Holly f*ck, it works like hell with Voodoo LOUDER, Mixzing and the Eq on it and a AKG k518DJ

You don't have any icon, if you want, just check with RootExplorer "System/bin", you'll see some file like this "basimage_ibeats_isolo.bin"

So yes you can flash the zip with any GB (mine is Hyperdroid with Siyah)

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

If you have a good Eq AND you know how to set it, you'll not have more bass!

It feel like a filter, the bass is deeper, clearer, the med also and the trebble too

-> It really makes the sound clearer

It's makes a huuuge difference with a 320 Kbps mp3 or FLAC and a real headphone and with high quality earphone, and it's even better with voodoo LOUDER wich hacking the hardware of my phone
[Galaxy S II General] Try4Ce:
Who said for GB only?

I flashed it before my work was over, so I was able to directly hook it up to my car stereo. I am running AOKP (ICS 4.0.3 AOSP), so I didnt expect it to work.

So, I fired up PowerAMP and played right away. It wasnt much of a difference, since the PowerAMP EQ and Tone-Filter were still active. I know how it sounds without those 2 options, since I drive alot within the week and my Phone is hooked up to my car stereo like every time.

I listen to heavy tunes, bass-focused, mainly Dubstep and DnB.

So I switched those 2 options OFF within PowerAMP and WHOMP!

I mean, really! There is a pretty significant improvement in sound quality.

It sounds better than with activated EQ and Tone-Filter from PowerAMP.

Very crisp bass, but with more force and power.

Mid-Tones are clearer when heavy bass lines kick in.

I was like "WTF"...

Then I fired up Simfy (german edition of Spotify) and even there I got a significant improvement in sound.

I am pretty surprised, since I didnt think it would work on ICS since its been promoted for Gingerbread "Only". But I can say, there is a difference, and if not, I must be high on crack or something ....

PS: I even have the imagination it increases the default Volume Levels. I usually have a pretty fixed setup while driving and listening music (Volume Levels) and I really had the feeling that it was louder in general...

[Galaxy S II General] crachel:
Reminds me of the SE Bravia nonsense that was floating around. This is why companies like Bose and Monster Cable make money hand-over-fist.

You're likely listening to 192 kbps (or less) MP3 files on a set of sub $20 headphones, no amount of compression/EQ can help that.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Improved the audio quality quite a bit. Specially on WIDE effect in settings. Crisp & more clear :)

[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
Yup.. Exactly what i thought and supercurio confirmed NOT working.
[Galaxy S II General] ivkos:
It's probably because of my stock earphones but I can't really tell the difference. Tried it with no EQ/tone settings in Poweramp and still doesn't sound as great as tuned up bass, treble and just a liiitle bit of StereoX.
[Galaxy S II General] Boosted7:
Flashed this on ICS Resurrection 9.4 ROM. Noticed an improvement in sound quality!
[Galaxy S II General] Pennywice:
I will try it when i get home from my vacation to USA, but i like it on my friends sensation. You can hear a difference, i hope it have the same effect on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] ultramic:
So is this the only way to tell it correctly installed ?
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Though it does not matter how to name it - quality improvement or audio effect. If it makes sound better - I don't care how to name it. 8-)

Sony has some sound effects kinda Clear Stereo or Bass something on players - it is good, and works.

So superqurio statement mean nothing to be honest....
[Galaxy S II General] Silverwolf2:
I'm going to try it with beats studio.

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to change the colour of the Navbar background? By this, I mean the colour of the area that the soft buttons sit on.

The only thing I have been able to find is instructions on making it transparent:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409540&highlight=edit+navbar

Perhaps there is a .png that can be changed in SystemUI? Or perhaps the framework can be tweaked?

Any light that could be shed on the matter would be really appreciated :)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dennis_:
From the link:

From the root of the SystemUI directory, open res/values/colors.xml. Find the entry for “status_bar_background” and change it’s value to whatever you want. In mine I’ve set it to “a6000000” which black but 35% translucent. The first 2 characters control the opacity on a scale from 0-255 where 0 is completely transparent and 255 is fully opaque. That value is then stated in hexadecimal format; e.g. 0=00, 255=ff.

First 2 characters are transparency last 6 characters are color.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
AOKP features this in their ROM control settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gifton1:
Ah - I see. Thanks for your help, missed that.

Dont suppose you know how to change the actual picture of the navbar, not just the colour? As you can see in the below thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517677

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gifton1:
I believe that in AOKP, you can change the softkey colour, not the actual navbar (that the softkeys sit on)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
In that link they give instructions to make transparent. But you could also change the color i believe just replacing the opacity and entering your desired color code hex value. Then compile.

So in fact that could still mean anytime today till end of March. So please before opening threads that are not necessary please do your reading before jumping the gun. And if you really want that ICS so bad go and flash the leaks with modifications in the Android section or use Foxhound or cm9. Thank you and goodnight.
