DO NOT spread false information.....

Still though my personal favorite is CyanogenMMatt V1.1 ( mik_os 6.5.7 deodex'd, and tweaked ) w/ fserve golden leaf LG kernel, w/ nemus launcher.... smooth fast, great battery life... and most important of all... STABLE.

I say NightlyFourE, till now at least... but i am waiting for CM9, MIUI and IOSdroid to be fully operational.... I think IOSdroid will come soon :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sephirothrx7:
I vote for adaf cm7 A8, I have been using since the first version and it is perfectly stable, good performance and battery life with fserve goldenleaf LG kernel (using 748 MHz on overclock).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mcapoy:
Perfect Peso:

I used the old version. Great Performance and Battery Life.

I haven't used the v2.2 yet.

MIUI v4.0:

Great UI. Good Performance. Drains battery really fast.

But what would you expect from a still incomplete ROM. :P

IOSDroid (current ROM):

I just installed this now. UI is slick. Performance and Battery are good as well.

Although I had problem when restoring my Call Logs and Messages Backup. The launcher FCs all the time after I restore those data.

Final Verdict: Depends upon your preference/use of your device.

If you want good battery life, opt for more stable ROMS. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
If im not mistaken the new PP has the latest nightly which has funny sim so tmobile users do get working mobile data...im a tmobile usa user on v20g..im using blackbird and battery life is amazing but i miss roms with working camera exposure levels and the drawback to blackbird is default kernel only has two governors but all frequencies. I have attempted to use different kernels but none of them give me working data

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] yamatona:
By a big mistake, I used a S5830 rom (S5830XWKT7) and odin gladly didit. Now the phone boots fine but i can't make calls. I want to get back to S5660 rom but I can't enter download mode; SAMSUNG logo just stays on when I press vol- + mode + power...

When i enter vol+ mode + power, it goes into some ARM9 RAW mode...

Is there anyway I can get this thing to get into download mode so I can load the original firmware?

I know I am stupid but, what is done is done and looking for solutions.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Try more button combinations, but better yet: install the Android SDK, and use the command adb reboot download. Should work.

I have apps that should be checking for notifications (Tweetcaster, Friendcaster and G+) not doing so because they are being closed down by the system and so cannot do the periodic checks. Is there any way to force Android to leave apps open?

I'm using ICS and the apps are setup to check/notify.

Ford can push an update that triples mpg.

But you don't want to drive 30mph everywhere, and stop/start engine every 2 minutes.

Batteries drain, because you're doing stuff .
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
It's not 100% true. For example, ICS brought a very good power consumption improvements (compared to prev versions) to the Android customers. Yes, battery capacity is very important (unfortunately, promising new technologies still stays in the labs) but good OS/software/hardware design is very important too.

However, we do have some points for optimism. AFAIK, on the latest CES Samsung promised to take care about mobile devices power consumption in 2012. Will see...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lamborg:
I think thats because Lumia 800 had a bug or something which was 'leaking' the battery and in the update they fixed it. Saw this on a Nokia page on FB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Better management in ics I agree with. My old nexus one lasts around 23 days (that's twenty three) with little use, and a double sized battery. 2600mah means 2-3 days of very heavy, almost constant use.

I'm waiting for the long term results with the nokias, specifically the 40mpixel models. We'll see.
[Xoom General] mihalisgr:
I have had this problem even from android 3. My xoom will randomly open to lock screen, and if I don't see it it will stay there and drain it's battery.

[Xoom General] y.sacin:

[Xoom General] felted911:
Do you have a bluetooth headset connected to your device. Mine would turn on by itself if I left and active bluetooth device attached. Once I started turning of the bluetooth antenta regularly this stopped happening for me.
[Xoom General] mihalisgr:
To tell you the truth I do have my iphone connected to my xoom via bluetooth but the bluetooth feature is off at all times except for when I need it (for teathering purposes). I just checked again and it is off (since months that I opened it last time) both on mobile andxoom. I will delete the pairing though and hope for the best.

Any other suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
So you thought it was cool you could set your lock screen shortcuts the way you want them? Well HTC obviously doesn't give a f*ck about what you think, because that feature got removed. I just tried to replace the browser app (I don't need to access it from my lockscreen) with the Camera app and failed.

Yes, in an attempt to "improve" Sense 3.5 they just erased one of the most handy features from it. Instead of having it your way, the lock screen simply takes the shortcuts you have in your quick launch bar and puts dem on the lock screen. Yes, you can change the items in the launcher bar but what's the point when I need to quickly access different apps while phone is locked than the ones in the bar ?

Thank you HTC for spitting in my face :mad:

Btw this is not due to a test rom, it's a final decision: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44739/htc-sensation-xe-ice-cream-sandwich-review
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
A little harsh

But surely when you are unlocked you can use more widgets, I simply put my 4 most commonly used apps into the QL bar and I can get them from the lockscreen.

Not an issue for me
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
A matter of preference I guess. Personally I don't have my camera app in the QL bar because that space is already taken by the phone, mail, messages and browser app. And since it is not possible to scroll that bar left or right (Thaks again HTCrap) I have to stick to that selection as these are my most used apps.

Having the camera on the lockscreen was awsome as I could directly unlock into the cam app, which is essential for taking that quick shot that could be gone in seconds. Now I have either to unlock and then go to the appropritate page containing the cam app OR I have to kick out one of my 4 most frequently used apps from the launcher bar just so I have a cam shortcut on the lockscreen >.< *bashesheadagainstwall*

It's these little things that ruin it for me, really. Call me nitpicking but this stuff matters, especially when you had a feature that they later took away from you.
[HTC Sensation] ljesh:
What do you mean you cannot customize lockscreen?

Just remove one of the shortcuts when the device is active in the lowest row, and those shortcuts go to the lockscreen.

EDIT: Whatever shortcuts/apps you set there, will appear on the lockscreen.

[HTC Sensation] sufyansayed:
You can always use folders if you need more apps

You can always use folders if you need more apps in the lockscreen. Simply drag a folder on the menu bar so it gets set up on the lockscreen as well with all the important apps. Anyways even for quick shorcuts you need to unlock the screen so why not unlock the screen and enter a folder click the apps. Hardly takes a nano-second to do that extra bit of click.
[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
Try Widgetlocker. Can customize your lockscreen to your hearts content. =)
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
I love and use Widgetlocker, but to be honest I probably wouldn't have bought it if HTC had just kept the nicer Sense 3.5 lockscreen.

Totally agree with OP. The lockscreen HTC gave us with Sense 3.6 is just lazy.
[HTC Sensation] ljesh:
And I do not agree with you at all.

In 3.5 we didn't have the "quick launch bar" at the bottom of the screen but we could setup the lockscreen with shortcuts we like.

In 3.6 the shortcuts on the lockscreen are the ones that are set in the quick launch bar at the bottom. So how is 3.6 worse then 3.5 when the ONLY difference is that now you have 4 most-used apps no matter if you are on the lockscreen or in some of the 7 screens on your fingertip. How is that worse?

I really don't understand your problem guys. You don't know that you can replace/move the shortcuts on the "quick launch bar" (and thus the ones that are on the lockscreen) or what is the problem?
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
I'm not that stupid to not know how HTC's "new" dock works, and I'm pretty sure the OP isn't either. If you've ever de-sensed or used a launcher other than Rosie, then you'd get it. The apps on my dock aren't the same ones I would want quick access to when my phone is locked. It's called a preference. Everyone has one. No need to be a smartass about it.
[HTC Sensation] ljesh:
I still don't get it.

On Sense 3.0 we DIDN'T have the dock icons. That means you could setup the icons on the lockscreen but no dock.

On Sense 3.6 we have dock on which whatever icons you put (and their alignment) will go on the lockscreen to. That's a plus in my opinion, and I don't understand how that can be worse performance. I mean, I would like if I could have different icons on the lockscreen and on the dock, but I still cannot agree that even the way it is - it is worse then in Sense 3.0.

That is the part I do not agree on, I like Sense so I cannot talk about de-sensed ROM and have never used another launcher. This is the problem:

In my opinion, a feature is ADDED, not removed. You STILL can move/replace the icons on the lockscreen, they just ADDED the dock. We didn't have that at all in 3.0 so it's an improvement.
[HTC Sensation] townay:
What some people dislike about the lockscreen is that, they can setup a separate group of quick access icons for the lockscreen while keeping another set of icons for the homescreen for Sense 3.0

In Sense 3.6 though, the quick access icons in the lockscreen are tied to the icons in the homescreen dock which does somehow make it seem that HTC didnt really put much effort in it:)
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
If you've read any of the articles concerning sense 4.0 HTC has purposefully tried to simplify things as sense 3.5 was getting slow and bloated. Sense 3.6 was developed in tandem with 4.0 so the same philosophy was used, simplify things. Really, I don't see what the issue is, if you don't like being limited to 4 shortcuts just use a different launcher and be done with it.

You can set up your HTC homescreen with the 4 apps you want on your lockscreen and then use a different launcher and make your unlocked shortcuts anything you want.
[HTC Sensation] townay:
^some people just prefer using Sense though. I am using a launcher though lol
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
You can certainly do that, but the problems with that are that a) Android eventually removes Rosie from memory since it's not being used, thus removing your lockscreen shortcuts until you reboot or reload Rosie and b) you're allocating a significant chunk of memory (Rosie in the background) just for four icons on your lockscreen. Sense 3.5 lockscreen shortcuts were independent of your launcher so you could delete Rosie and all of its bloat and the lockscreen shortcuts would still be there.

Don't get me wrong, I really don't care about this since Nova Launcher and Widgetlocker already give me my ideal setup. I'm just saying I know where OP is coming from. The old 3.5 lockscreen was nice.
[HTC Sensation] Devin.Morris.007:
Yeah, I just updated to ICS on my HTC Vivid, and it took me forever to figure out that whatever order they are on the home screen at the bottom is the order they are on the shortcuts on the lock screen. I would have liked if they make it where you could re-order them on your own. Im one of those weird people that like the icons on my lock screen in a different order than on my home screen. I guess if I decide I want different apps in the dock at the bottom than whats on the lock screen im $hit out of luck....
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Has anyone tried Widgetlocker? They have an ICS theme and you can put whatever shortcuts you want on that. It works well IMO. And people who complain about battery life on WL...like me in the beginning, becomes a non factor because of the great battery life ICS can achieve.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] macrojames:
Hi tech-guys, developers,

i had a discussion with some other linux administrators if and how an android antivirus app is technically working.

As far as I understood the functionality of android apps, there is a sandbox for every app with its own user und homedir.

This means the antivirus app is also sandboxed and can access only public api or its own directory.

Scenario:

Open browser, goto hackallmyandroids.com (just an example)

On this page exists an exploit for webkit which executes some shellcode and writes a wiper-script to /usr/bin/badbinary (or equivalent directory)

How would the antivirus app be able to scan this file or even remove this file without superuser privileges?

Am I wrong or is no antivirus app useful?

Or did someone develop some security software for android and can explain how they work?

[Android General] sashank:
Of course we can just root and do that, but the OP has a point. Rooting and all things related are fine for people who are interested, but normal people shouldn't have to bother with all that. When they buy a smartphone and expect it to work right, it should. If they see an app they don't feel like having in their phones, whether for memory reasons or app drawer clutter, they should be able to remove it by the regular uninstall method in a minute and move on to something else. Only a small percentage of of the number of phones sold till now are rooted. So the OP has a point, the manufacturers should stop bundling uninstallable crapware in their phones.
[Android General] zelendel:
Talk to the carriers. They are to blame for most of the bloatware apps. The OEM only add them because the carriers make them and in the end if they ask them to do it then they will add them.
[Android General] os2222:
the problem of rooting though is that you loose your warranty.

[Android General] FineWolf:
While I'm all for some applications being removable, there are some reasons why they are not at the moment:

The Android OS has only two app classes: user and system.

System applications have elevated rights and cannot be removed by the user.

User applications run within the permission system and can be removed.

Before we can have removable pre-installed apps, we would need to have a third class of applications (core), which would distinguish between removable system apps and not removable system apps.
