Hi,

I take you mean "force GPU acceleration"?

The setting in the dev section of the phone just forces it on, it doesn't "enable" it...

What I can think of is "old" games and graphic intense apps, not supported and developed anymore ... or very rarely apps that don't support this GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
You're right I did mean to put "force GPU acceleration" lol. It just seemed weird to me that it borks the weather graph in the News&Weather app and causes it to force close. I've had it enabled for a while then I disabled it didn't really see any difference in most apps[games & everyday apps] I've tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
Double Post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Yeah I just left it off and I never had any problems ... if there EVER occurs to be any lag or something in a graphic intense app I'll turn it on.

As long as there aren't any problems, I'll just leave it off, I don't think there is much benefit, if at all, for 99,9% of the apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
Try Facebook without gpu acceleration just scroll down and look at the frame rate its just not smooth. Enable gpu acceleration swipe Facebook off from task and do the same scrolling again.

By scrolling I mean. Flick your finger and let go.... difference is massive in smoothness . If you can't see it theres clearly something wrong with your eyes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheek360:
i just tried it, its horrible.

out of curiosity, leaving gpu acceleration on will impact battery life no?

No.

Is there any app that allow to edit APN list in CM9. Note that we don't want to edit apn-conf.xml file!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justiyad:
Can't you just go to the APN settings and change it manually from there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensource01:
No. It disabled. I can't edit. Only can add new.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justiyad:
What do you mean it is disabled? If you click on one of the APNs you can open it and then Edit the info, and then menu and save.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensource01:
when touch in any APN name, the "edit access point" must be open, but in this case there is no reaction, no new screen open so cannot edit
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
You are doing it wrong then. Just click any access point name and the edit screen should come up. Remember to click on the name instead of the button, and also don't long press.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magosto:
Hi, i'm having the same problem with the same rom, but on a Blade, nothing happens when you touch the APN name, only thing it allows you to do it's creating a new APN and that new one is not editable...sorry for my english :P

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
wondering if there is any app that has secure lock screen like with pattern or code unlock, but also has access to camera app straight from lock screen without unlocking the phone... though there would be another security needs to be applied that if the phone is used by someone else, they can use it to take pictures or videos but cannot go into gallery or review other data if the camera is activated by straight from unlock screen....

and then, if one needs to access the gallery from there.. they need to draw secured pattern or key in the unlock code....

any idea if there is any app for this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
just like in iphone os, there is camera button, and code unlock, and once camera is initiated, only pictures taken with activation of camera without unlocking phone can be reviewed ....

wish I knew how to program in Android, I would have done it !!!

I found this but can't set it up. i have tasker, widget locker and secure settings with helper.

from widget locker the option to add task cut isn't given and tbh i don't really have a clue what i doing from within tasker?

if anyone can figure this out and perhaps give a step by step or even better still if someone could manage to make an apk with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
I noticed other day that HTC One X has similar function....

from home screen, any guest can access camera and take photos... but can only see photos taken by the guest... the phone is still locked and needs pattern/passcode to unlock it.

wish that could be implemented in samsung galaxy s3 lockscreen ...

any ideas/leads how this could be done?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
well... noticed this in Windows phone also ... if the phone is locked one can access camera by pressing camera button (in nokia's) and then can take pictures/videos and look at only just taken pictures & videos ..... arrrrhhh why it is so hard to implement in samsung android device ???

wish i was developer, i could totally write an app for this, which would fire camera from locked screen shortcut, and would take pictures and videos in one temp location only...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
This was introduced in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean using the lockscreen widgets. :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
I do not understand .... can you please explain how can i have a lockscreen widget installed which will fire camera and will let me take pictures/videos without unlocking the phone, PLUS it also does not allow to view all my other pictures from gallery, just only the pictures/videos shot using that lockscreen widget....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
If you're running an Android 4.2 ROM, just swipe left on the lock screen. The widget to the right of the lock screen is the camera widget and takes you into camera. Works exactly the way you're asking for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
HTC One X isn't 4.2 ... i think it is the HTC one X launcher which has in-built lockscreen which does the trick - allow usage of camera on locked phone, and also allows only to see just taken pictures, and videos, not the others already in phone.

There are so many threads about this subject.You don't even need to search the forum just scroll 2-3 pages and voila.You can root .42 and update OTA but your bootloader must be locked to do that.There is a method to root .62 also.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] number3pencil:
I installed liquid rom v1.1 and that part was different, the icons were, I don't know, less transparent. The icons on the left were all solid colors. Never seen that before. Now, it has changed back on its own, for no reason I can think of and I want to change it back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can decomplie, edit, and compile apk and framework just fine. Hopefully it's easy tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seanyuan62:
Oh yeah its a breeze. All you have to do is decomopile the systemUI.apk and find those .png's that you want to edit. Finish the changes with Photoshop or whatever you're using and recompile, and push it back into the system. I noticed that one of the icons was from titanium backup. You will have to actually go inti that .apk and edit those as well if you want to make them all uniform-which would probably take a million years haha

Edit:

Actually some of those might be in the framework apk just decompile both haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] number3pencil:
I doubt this is the case. Why would ALL the developers use the same ugly greyish color. I'm sure its just a transparency thing.

Aren't you helpful? Oh wait. Nope you aren't!:rolleyes:

Anyways

I had the same issue, basically if you open up your phone, located near the shoulder buttons are these square black stickers.

Peel back the stickers abit and you'll see some foam that has the switch. What the shoulder buttons have is a tab that depresses the switch and the tab may be damaged.

So take a tiny piece of paper and wedge it in between the tab and switch. Now see if your shoulder buttons work now. If it doesn't, then you may have an hardware issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] herofmm:
Hi, I am getting a new phone tomorrow. So, I'm thinking of put custom kernel on it. I did some research on it and the following is the step I plan to do.

1. Root using odin (Entropy's)

2. Install CWM through mobile odin

3. Flash kernel on CWM.

My question is why step 1 and step 2 are separate? I had AT&T captivate. They have combined odin version. Is it because flash counter? Or is there better way? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jdbeitz:
Root, install kernel.. boot to cwm. Bam. Done.

Kernel has cwm in it I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Because Entropy's stock plus root odin tar package contains a fully stock kernel. However, you don't have the steps exactly right. Steps 2 and 3 are only one step, because you must install a custom kernel to get ClockworkMod Recovery.

You do step 1 to obtain root, but the kernel remains essentially the same. Then you do step 2 to get the custom kernel containing CWM recovery. Now step 3 is unnecessary. But at this point, you may wish to flash a custom ROM using CWM Recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
but we can also flash the first package with mobile odin why to use PC odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 430Linux:
If you do Entropy flash setup you will not incur the flash counter. Be sure to save a stock image on internal sd....in case you need to return to stock.

Got Linux? I put it in your ride.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creaky:
I just rooted using your Odin 1-click method. Was a total breeze once I got it installed. I have root now (thanks!) but was wondering why I shouldn't just flash the kernel though ROM Manager.

I could flash Entropy's DD kernel w/ CWM through Heimdall (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289460&highlight=root) but I just spent a frustrating night watching Heimdall fail over and over again when trying to root (failed at factoryfs at exactly the same place over and over, using three different files). So, I'm a little over Heimdall at the moment.

Thanks for all your excellent work on these forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, you can't flash the first package using Mobile Odin because you don't have root yet. Mobile Odin requires root.

So it's:

Flash a rooted system image to get root using PC Odin. (bootloader only signature-checks the kernel, not /system)

Flash a custom kernel using Mobile Odin or dd to get CWM (bootloader only checks kernels flashed in download mode during the flash process, on-device flashing methods don't trigger any of the alarms.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
He doesn't have root. How is he supposed to use Mobile Odin without root?

Hi friends,

Before buying this cute smartphone, I want to know if we have solutions to unsimlock the Xperia S.

Thank you all :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marcoplo:
if you have option, buy unlocked one

why?

1) phone is locked so no other network

2)unlocking phone would be very expensive since is new so £30-40 + wait to people work out how to (price in highstreet)

3)instatly lose warranty - (test point)

4) locked bootloader no fun on xda

-no fastboot

-no unlocked botlooader

-no xrecovery

-no custom rom

-no root

- long wait for update.

- i am not sure whether unlock simlock = unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dragon546:

A network locked phone cannot be root and no unlocked bootloader?

my X10 was locked and I could root it easily and flash other official roms (different baseband).

Then I sim-unlocked it before flashing custom roms, so I don't know if I am able to do that with a locked phone though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MattNoblett:
Just got my Xperia unlocked officially from Three UK. So it works on any network however all the Three integration is still there and after checking the bootloader status I am unable to unlock the bootloader as of now.

So although it's unlocked to any network, it's still kinda locked with regards to the bootloader and rooting.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] moonset:
Have you flashed an un-brand firmware? (there is a way to flash another official rom without rooting/unlocking) Maybe it would be bootloader unlock-able after that...? (i really not sure about this)

But there should be a way to root the phone without bootloader unlocked soon or later anyway (just like the others)

and i know that the X10 can be bootloader unlock even with simlock (although the method came out quite late...)

it's just a matter of time, shouldn't be the end of the world :p;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MattNoblett:
I've not flashed any new firmware as of yet because I'm not confident in what I'm doing haha. I'm not rushing to find anything, but would like to root at some stage. And if I can unlock the bootloader I would :P

IMEI UNLOCK Sony Xperia S

Hi,

I planing to buy a Sony Xperia S and IMEI unlock it...Maybe this is a stupid question but if I buy the Xperia S new, is it possible it comes already with blocked counter? or every Xperia S comes with 5 to 10 attempts? and if it comes with factory blocked counter, is it still possible to remove simlock? Would it be to expensive? I really need to know this in order to know if I buy the Xperia S or not. Sorry if it is a dumb question but I was an iOS user 'til now. Sorry if I post this in the wrong thread.

[General Questions and Answers] Sendrey:
If CPU not BOX package, you need buy cpu cooler separately. In any case, instead of the standard cooler is better to put a more powerful, i.e. Scythe, Zalman or other...

You're thinking about cardreader? It may be helpful to read cards from a smartphone or camera and is very cheap.

And, if its your first computer assemble, be carefull with cpu (pins), motherboards and video card. Electronic elements and tracks are very thin, easily damaged hitting the corners of the metal.
[General Questions and Answers] icenight89:
For that build, a bigger power supply is recommended, if only for peace of mind, get an 850 watt. As for everything else it looks good. Motherboard was a good choice. Sendrey is right about the cpu heatsink/fan, I recommend an aftermarket one. Make sure u won't have clearance issues eith your ram. Also make sure u get good thermalpaste as well. Honestly the only other thing is the case. The corsair cases DO have good cable management but for aircooling, which u are doing, frankly, they suck. I HIGHLY recommend getting either a raven rv2 or newer or coolermaster haf series (925 is really good for price, 945 is nice too) case. PM me if u have any other questions
