[Windows 8 General] pwnnoobies:
I've tried upgrading win8 from win7 three times now. It pretty much gets through the install process, but after showing the beta fish I get a BSOD and an "inaccessible boot device" error. It then reverts me back to Windows 7.

I think that I'm going to disable AHCI in my BIOS and then try. I'm worried about losing data though.

Anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions?
[Windows 8 General] m0nkf1sh:
On my Acer laptop I have a second hard drive instead of the customary dvd drive and I have to disable ahci to install windows at all.

Never managed to figure out what the issue is. I've even tried loading the ahci driver post install and then turn it back on in bios, but I get the same bsod.

Should note that I had the same issue with windows 7 so my experience may be irrelevant.

In light of the imminent iPad 3 launch I was seriously considering getting one.

When I told a friend he asked me: "Why an iPad?". My only answer was "I guess I'm brainwashed.".

Thus, I decided to browse around for Android tablets. I quickly found that there are very many of those.

I have an HTC Desire HD and am quite happy that there are still ROMs being made for it. I would like a tablet with at least a 10" screen. The price should be less than $300. What can you suggest that has good chances of being supported (on XDA) for a long time?

I've tried both kindle fire and nook tablet within the last two weeks and I'm keeping the nook. For $250 I had it home, rooted and running cm7 in less time than it took to drive home. I believe its a good value right now.

Well, i have reveived my order from SpeMall for Ainol Novo 7 Elf two weeks ago, all 5 pieces of ELF are works fine and looks great in black... it's my second time to deal with them, i bought a tablet from spemall by the end of last Oct. i must confess i had doubts placing an order from a chinese website, but i had a good experience with them. Very nice.

It's a nice little machine, all works well for Internet surfing, music, youtube, skype....I think it will burn to the ground the kindle fire and the nook tablet:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
The iPad 3 will be well over $300. What are you comparing Apples with?

The only 10" Android tablet worth getting now is the Transformer Prime. Period.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BreatheALittle:
+10000 The Transformer Prime is hands down the most incredible Android tablet out right now.

To the OP, what are you primarily looking for? Is it more important to have a tablet that is 10"? Or a tablet under $300? Or are you willing to come up from that price for a tablet with better specs?

Hate to break it to you, but you won't find any new 10" tablets that run for under $300. Most start at $400 and just go up from there. Unless, I guess, you search for refurbished, used, older models, etc. Otherwise, if you want to stay under $300, you are looking at a 7" tablet. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mxmr:
About to flash an ICS ROM probably Calks. My understanding is that it comes with three launchers - TouchWiz, apex, and nova. Are there any advantages using one over the other (performance boosts, less bugs, greater development on the project, etc) besides simply personal preference? Which one do you think looks the sharpest and has the best aesthetics? Most customization?

Sorry for the noob post, and thanks for sharing your opinions. Messed around with apex and nova a bit and for the most part they seem similar. Are there any better alternatives that I did not mention?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NickZ5:
I've not used apex or nova, and have never liked touchwiz. On Gingerbread I was using GO Launcher but I stock seems to work great so I haven't switched it. Back on my Samsung Moment I swore by LauncherPro as it was the only smooth launcher out there (the Moment was...less then outstanding). I'd say try them all out before you customize and decide, mostly personal preference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
I made the leap yesterday to ICS. I am on the goodness ROM. I am using the apex launcher, ha it is already set up like ICS, so I chose it. I didnt want to set up Nova so I haven't used it but I am diggin Apex
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mxmr:
Thanks for your replies so far. I will experiment with different launchers since it seems to be mostly a matter of personal preference. I was mostly curious if there was an overwhelming consensus on which launcher is "the best" or definitely one to try out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jonnyshatter:
IMO nova is my favorite. Its just seems slightly more polished as compared to apex

apex ftwwwwww
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
You asked "What is your favorite ICS launcher, and why?" then everyone responded with launchers that have existed since long before ICS, just thought I'd point this out. My favorite "ICS" launcher is apex, nova seems to be slightly faster (not even noticeable) but apex has double the features, and runs really smooth, especially with the Goodness rom, can't wait for Mijj to optimize the FB27 version when we get the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wow...Nova and Apex are so similar I would almost say one copied the other. It does seem that Apex may have some of the features that you have to have paid version of Nova to use. For now I will say Nova because I have been using it for a couple of months but I am looking into Apex much more as we speak
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jaromewg:
+1 apex v.6 has much more bug fixes and is very stable plus i like not having to pay to unlock all of novas feature which some are baked into apex

Favorite ICS launcher

I really like the Nova launcher, haven't had much experience with the Apex. But from what I been reading from others, I may have to give it a try. I was wondering have anyone seen the new Camera ICS app in the market, would love to see this app used as the main camera app in all Epic Touch roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moni08ca:
apex is the best

apex is the best you can customize more than nova and the best feature is the widget section nova has it too but in apex there is more customization.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexdog202:
The nova because of the cube transition
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
i say nova. smoother and faster imo, and i prefer a full app on the market, just seems easier to me. bought it for my Transformer Prime :D

Apex - not as quick yet as Nova, but has more options that I prefer. I need my swipe up and down ;). I tried Apex, Nova, TW and Stock for a day each before switching back to Apex.

My fav on GB was adw EX.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Nova was the best.

Apex/ics stock were very choppy with a lot of widgets on the screen.

Touchwiz was on par with Nova in terms of smoothness.

hi do u have to windows on the hd2 to run roms on the sd card or can u use magldr to run from mem card without windows
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yes you can run Android from SD via MAGLDR

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marquo:
There is one i thing i wonder about, this thread seems like good place to ask.

Can one install WinMo 6.5 on NAND with Magldr and have Android on SD? I know you can have android on SD, i just wonder if Magldr and WinMo cooperates :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
no, it doesnt.

magldr yes = winmo no,

winmo yes = magldr no.

but you can run sd android when winmo is installed by using haret to launch android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
As samsamuel said, you can't have WinMo and MAGLDR, but there isn't any need for that anyway. If you like Windows (I don't see why you would really :p) then you could always have WP7 and SD Android with MAGLDR.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marquo:
Yup, i know that, but my phone is simlocked, and to take that off i need to have Windows 6.5 for unlocking code to stick :) So i was wondering if i can just flash Windows ROM on NAND with MAGLDR and then reflash Android without installing MAGLDR again. Now it's clear to me that i can't. Question about dualboot Android and Win 6.5 was purely theoretical. :)

And don't worry, since i switched to Android, i became its fanboy :P There is no way i'll return to 6.5. I was curious about W7, but now i think Android has everything i need. :cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
flash 6.5, apply the unlock code, reflash magldr/android. The code will stick, so long as it is entered under winmo. It is fine to re apply magldr after that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marquo:
I know. :) You're the one who told me that already, on the other simlock-related thread. I was just trying to be clever and wondered if i could save some time :rolleyes:

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Again samsamuel beat me to it but I'm pretty sure the unlock code sticks between the OSes so long as it's entered under WinMo. After unlocking you can just flash NAND Android if you use Android as your daily OS anyway, or WP7 (actually a very sleek OS, IMO the best but it has no decent apps unfortunately :( ) both of which blow WinMo out of the water.
[General Questions and Answers] klau1:
Hi

So far, App Protector has been a great program.

However, it seems to fail at differentiating the locking of contact list and phone dialer.

This happened after the installation of Android 4.0. App Protector used to be able to lock the contact list without locking the phone dialer in Froyo Android 2.2.

In Android 4.0, after adding the Contact List app to the list of protected apps, the password prompt appears even when the dialer is executed.

This basically means it is impossible to lock the contact list without also locking the call function of the phone, to which I find unusable for my purposes.

Any suggestions?

Could solution be to download any other dialer that's not linked to the Contacts API? Are there any?

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] klau1:
bump
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I think because it's been integrated. In the dialer app, when you start dialing numbers, possible matches come up, and you can just tap on them. This indicates that the dialer app is looking through your contacts.

Maybe you can get a 3rd party replacement for the dialer app, and set it to default for dialing purposes.

[General Questions and Answers] Phatfossil:
tworight

Your'e not the only one, this would be very advantagous and handy to have
[General Questions and Answers] klau1:
The only way we can have this right now is if there is a Dialer that has ONLY a dialing function and does NOT read contacts.

For example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kcInc.dialerWidget

But this fails to display the call button in ICS.
[General Questions and Answers] klau1:
Found one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=circumflex.application.speeddialwidget

The permission is only 1:

Directly call phone numbers

Allows the app to call phone numbers without your intervention. Malicious apps may cause unexpected calls on your phone bill. Note that this doesn't allow the app to call emergency numbers.

You can support them with this enhanced version:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=circumflex.application.speeddialwidgetpro

Now you can LOCK your contacts list using an apps locker like App Protector and still be able to dial without UNLOCKING. :D

I rooted my phone at 4.0.2, then applied the update up to 4.0.4 and am still able to flash new versions of clockwork mod through rom manager... However, all my other apps won't be granted root access. In the superuser application, I'm running superuser v3.0.7(41) and my Su binary is at v3.0.3, for which there is an update available. However, when I try to apply the update, it tries to ask for root privileges and gets denied access... I tried reflashing su.zip through clockwork mod touch but I guess I may be flashing an outdated su.zip? Any insight into the matter would be greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evanextreme:
Same here

Same exact scenario, I went from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4, and even after a factory restore I cant seem to get root access for any app. I checked the bootloader, and I still am rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Do you have CWM installed yet?

If not...

I'd recommend simply starting from the top and using my guide.

But if you have CWM:

Just navigate to "Install Zip From SD Card"

"Choose Zip"

And find it.

Yes to install.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
boot to clockworkmod manually, than flash the superuser zip from here http://www.box.com/s/jvcf196j7x8f8vrc9cyt (this does not require busybox, that why the other su zip was failing)

I can't go to recovery from my phone. When I try I just get the Droid with a red exclamation point. I'll have to do it from a computer. Only problem is that I'm at work. I'll see if I can get to one ASAP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
That is the stock recovery that you're getting to.

Use my guide.

And navigate to the part about flashing a custom (CWM) recovery and flashing SU.

The SU in my post is updated to work for all users...the one you're using won't work on 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
but i think the su zip in ur post, only work if there is busybox installed...and the stock rom doesn't have it...

this the updater-script of ur su.zip: run_program("/sbin/busybox"...

that work only on custom roms, that usually have busybox preinstalled

check the different syntax in the other su zip posted above, it doesn't require busybox
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
nope, he was getting a permissions error because rom manager didn't have root access, that was the issue there.

edit: re-read the post, yes, you might be right about busybox in stock recovery, although i believe cwm has a set of minimal busybox tools.

if manually booting into recovery by shutting down the phone, pressing power+vol up until Google screen appears, doesn't take him to cwm but to stock recovery, he doesn't even have cwm installed, which could very well be the case, since stock rom default behaviour overrides any existing recovery when flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nope. See below.

CWM does have busybox so that su.zip file will flash in CWM. Stock recoveries cannot flash it anyway, as it is not signed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brightsideme:
Thanks so much. That did the trick. And thanks everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
well, the first time i rooted my gn, the superuser zip that come from goo.me didn't work on cwm...i didn't investigate it too much and i did it with adb push..so im not sure if that zip do install on a stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
It's hard, to root your phone, whilst using ICS 4.0.4...

It's because Google fixed the Exploit problem...

I was experiencing problems, whilst trying to root, with my Root Helper, You need to make sure, that you have Busyox AND su, in the following locations:

/system/bin/
/system/xbin/
/xbin/

Once you have ALL of those locations covered with the su/busybox files, you can install the superuser app, and then download the manifest.

That's how I got it to work :D

But then again, I would stick with 4.0.2/3, 4.0.4 doesn't bring any major changes, it does the opposite, it drains more battery :eek:

It may just be my phone, but maybe some of you are experiencing the same problems :)

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I wouldn't download the su.zip, from goo-inside/me... They don't work, on the GNex very well...

Push it, via MTP and flash it manually...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
To each his own. I certainly would not recommend having three instances of busybox and three instances of su on your device, but that's just me. You only su in /system/bin. You can put busybox in /system/xbin if you'd like and symlink it to /system/bin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Yet again, they do come in handy, when you put them in those three destinations...

But, I guess it depends, on the ROM...

CM9, puts it in those 3 locations, and the 4.0.4 stock firmware prefers it that way, aswell...

But, it's up to yourself, where to put them ^^

I'm just recomending it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brightsideme:
Actually there are noticeable changes with 4.0.4, better radios above everything really. And the battery life is actually better, and haven't had a random reboot happen yet. I am really happy that I rooted my nexus and put this rom on it.

Really? It puts them in all three?? I did not know that. (I don't use CM.) My apologies.

Not true.

Oh yeah my nexus constantly lost data connection. This is actually my 5th nexus because all my other have had more bugs than I could handle. My first one stopped working within hours out of the box.

Reception, I live in Germany, it can just be my carrier, but yet again, I have the same signal strength and quality as before.

I went root the DIY route, installing CWM and manually using CWM to flash su.zip.

LOTS of issues with symlinks and errors detailed here

after all the trouble, im not sure what i would recommend for users who just want CWM and root on 4.0.4????

Now, apk to install busybox failing ( looks to involve symlinks again )

logcat of BB fail here

So, to install BB , i guess that i have to do an manual install to a mounted volume?
