I can't really offer an opposite opinion. I was one of the ones who thought tables were kinda dumb until I got one issued at a job, and I now I use it more than I use my laptop and my phone combined...and it's a POS OG Galaxy Tab. I would probably have to clean out my pants if I got a Transformer Prime...

I just got the transformer (non prime) and use it way more than I thought I would..

Those who have updated to zv8, what are the pros/cons of the actual update? Outside of losing GV goodness, what has your experience been?
[LG Revolution] darthanubis:
Cons none.

The only reason for GV for me was battery life and debinged. Battery life has just about doubled with this update. So I can give a **** about going without bing. I'm not even rooted and don't miss the over clock or anything, the phone has been rock solid. I will check out the latest from MT and I appreciate his work, so I know the next release from him based off this update with be the ****. The root method for now is just ....ok I'm that lazy, there I said it:)
[LG Revolution] cbrebel:
I have yet to have my screen go unresponsive or even reboot on me . This was a big problem before the update.

[LG Revolution] capt730:
We're you using standard or extended battery?
[LG Revolution] mark843:
I have not had any rebooting issues but I have only had vz8 on for a day. I don't know about battery life but I will keep monitoring it. I hope that it is better as I would only have 2 hours of actual usage but it I did not use my phone, the battery would be 70% after about 10 hours. I hope this update improves battery life during usage. This was on stock battery.

I was using GV1.3 as GV2.0 would drain my battery very fast. If I was not using my phone, GV2.0 would drain it to almost nothing is a few hours. It was horrible. This was because of the over clocking of the CPU and even if I dialed it down to close to stock, I still had battery issues.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I haven't had battery, reboot or screen issues with mine. I use the extended battery and even with moderate to heavy use, I can make it all day with no charger and if I have light use, I could probably go closer to 2 days. I do like the feel of the stock case as opposed to the extended, so if battery life is much better, it could be worth the update. I am still on GV2.0 and my phone is very smooth. Also wondering if anyone noticed better signal strength on the network or with their wifi.
[LG Revolution] trampledbyturtles:
I haven't had any issues yet with ZV8... I updated, rooted, deodexed, removed bing and all the bloatware. My stock battery is at nearly 17 hours with heavy use and im at 15%
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
My signal has been amazing, previous versions I would have a hard time staying connected to 3g/4g at my home (I live between 2 mountains). Now I switch occasionally between 3 and 4g but never cannot connect to a network. Wifi doesn't seen to have changed much for me, at least as far as range is concerned.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Talk to me goose...

I'm hearing a lot of praise in losing GV to zv8, but do you lose your Google Navigation? Long Press Search? Google Voice Commands?

Those things make any sort of an update a no-go if that's the case.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
1) Did you just uninstall Bing?

2) Does your search button work?

2a) If so, using Google?

2b) Does long press work?

2c) HOW?
[LG Revolution] darthanubis:
Standard
[LG Revolution] trampledbyturtles:
1) Removed w/ Root Explorer

2) Yes

2a) Yes

2b) Yes

2c) You can find detailed instructions using Google...
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
For me also the amount of battery life has been almost double what it was previously. The signal strength seems better also(I used to get disconnected when in certain areas of my house).
[LG Revolution] jeff_roey:
As reported by others, a pro is the stock browser doesn't seem to return you to the home screen anymore when you hit the back button. That was an annoying occurrence that I'm glad has gone away :)
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Ahhh... The ADW.Ex is the answer. I'm on the stock launcher. I'll attempt loading ADW.Ex sometime this weekend.
[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
Much better battery life as well as lte coverage. 2 months prior to the update I could not get lte. Had to run cdma mode only. Since the update I rarely even dip into 3g.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Ok... I installed ADW Launcher and it uses Google Search, but long press on search does nothing. I've searched a little and found nothing... Any tips?
[LG Revolution] ScallywagginIT:
So when updating to ZV8, we can keep root but not have CWM correct? Can someone please clarify this for me. I know there are instructions on how to save root from V7 to V8, but is there a way to flash CWM either manually through adb or another method? Do we lose GV due to CWM not being available, or it is mainly because the new updates don't exist in GV at the moment. I'm sorry if I seem confusing in any way. I just got my Revolution yesterday and have been used to working with the development of an HTC Droid Incredible 2. Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelOfGrief:
Hi,

I have an Android device with ext. GPS (meaning PL2303 via USB + USBGPS4Droid software running). Whenever I try to get GPS enabled software off market, I don't get shown any, because market (Google.Play sorry!) thinks my device does not have a GPS receiver.

How do I change the settings to make it believe I have GPS? Which file holds these settings? Device is rooted, naturally, I can access any dir/file via SSH.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
wel I saw many of us were using the ones posted in the n7000 forum but its not the proper ones for our device this one goes allthe resolution all in one from 1x1 to 5x5 .

REPLACE the one you have in system/app with this one (and delete the others you were using if you had any)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pandemoniumone:
Thanks, this looks much better!!

Question, and this is probably a total noob one. You mentioned 1x1 and 5x5 in the OP but when I select the widget I'm not presented with any options for size, am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
I know this is pretty much a hit and miss about Samsung maybe someone else can shed some light on this..

When you try to install the widget if you hit repeatedly on the icon it will show more size on the actual screen and if you dotn have enough space it will either ask you to put the full one on another page or give you different size one , I have successfully added 3 sizes , thats how I succeeded I can post screenshot as a proof but if someone else can it will make it easier for me thx .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pandemoniumone:
Interesting. If I understand you correctly you're referring to the list of widgets that appear after long pressing on the screen and selecting widgets. When I try tapping on the Accuweather widget repeatedly, it always adds the widget to the screen after the first tap and that widget has always been the same size for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
After you place the widget, press and hold it and a yellow grid should appear over it. Drag the bottom right corner to the different grid points.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pandemoniumone:
Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. I know how to re-size the widget after it's been added to my screen, but I believe that is different from different sized widgets. When I re-size the widget, if I make it smaller than it's supposed to be it cuts some of it off. Where if there is actually a 1x1 widget, nothing will be cut off at that size.

Hope that's more clear. Again, sorry for the confusion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
yesI knew exactly what you were saying , as I said its hit and miss.. and it doesnt work on my spb launcher only on TWlauncher .

but even on TW its hard to get the right sized one to show up .. anyways screenshot addded to the op .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pandemoniumone:
Just looked at it, definitely three different sized widgets you have there. My next question was going to be about the launcher used but decided to just try it. I disabled Go Launcher EX and tried it on TW, I now have the different sized widgets available.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshtb86:
ive read in some other posts here that rooting our gsm gnexus will erase the phones data/settings/etc. because it is an "oem root". is this true? does it apply to the gnex toolkit?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Rooting does not erase data/settings. HOWEVER, if you unlock your bootloader, it will erase everything. All toolkits that I have seen, root by unlocking your bootloader first (if it is locked).

Use this, and you will root without losing anything, locked bootloader or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshtb86:
why does unlocking the bootloader erase everything? and that is necessary to flash a new rom or kernel, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Because it just does. It's a security thing. But it doesn't matter - with what I pointed you to in my previous post, you can root, flash a custom recovery, backup everything, then unlock your bootloader and restore the backup.

An unlocked bootloader is not required to flash a new ROM or kernel if you have root. You cannot, however, flash things through fastboot, but it doesn't matter.

In any case, I would recommend you unlock your bootloader and leave it unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
security reason...if you have a phone with the bootloader locked and a lockscreen password, ur phone is secure (EDIT: usb debug need to be disabled to be real secure)...so if u lost the phone for example someone could unlock the bootloader and with root permission could get ur personal data..instead in this way if he unlock the bootloader the data in it is wiped..

with the bootloader unlocked ur phone give u free access to the system, so u can root it, flash rom, kernel and everything

in case a day u change idea, u can also relock the bootloader (this will wipe again ur phone EDIT: will not wipe it)..this is usefull to get warranty for example

there is also an exploit, mentioned before in the thread, that is able to root ur phone without unlocking the bootloader..but i suggest to unlock the bootloader as u have more control of ur phone by having access to fastboot commands
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshtb86:
thanks for the help guys! i have to figure out if i really want to wipe all my data. if i use titanium to backup everything, then unlock bootloader, can i still restore the same backed up data, or does the changed bootloader make that impossible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not entirely true. You need to have USB debugging disabled in settings as well for it to be secure.

Not true. Relocking the bootloader does not wipe anything.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

You do NOT have to wipe all your data.

Follow these steps:

1) Root your device using the method I linked to above;

2) Download ROM Manager from the market;

3) Using ROM Manager, flash CWM recovery;

4) Reboot into recovery and perform a backup;

5) Copy that backup OFF of your device;

6) Unlock your bootloader; <== This will wipe your device, including everything in /sdcard...

7) Copy your backup back to your device;

8) Reboot into recovery and restore your backup;

9) Done. Now your bootloader is unlocked, you have root, and your data/settings are exactly how they were before.

EDIT: Yes, you can use Titanium Backup once you root, but using CWM recovery is easier and faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
yeah true

didn't know that..it makes sense anyway

thanks for the corrections
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshtb86:
so the bootloader is not affected by a CWM backup.

this is so helpful. thanks so much guys! i thanked both of you for your replies!

Hello all! Currently using MeanROM 2.9 with the XLoud audio mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1511595). I have seen a MAJOR improvement on volume.

What benefits would I see to flash MeanROM 3.0 with Beats that I am missing out with XLoud?
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
Xloud makes your volume louder. Beats is basically an equalizer preset that makes your music sound clearer and better sounding.

Don't be a Tomas
[HTC EVO 3D] Nutzy:
Thats an opinion. I never liked "beats" audio (audiophiles will agree) and I think its akin to using an eq to change sound. Xloud makes it louder and clearer when used without dsp. The new Zero3d Rom uses both in combination, but chads kernel rounds the combination out superbly.
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
So no need to flash xloud if using chassis kernel then? Using mean room with chassis kernel and was curious about xloud.
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
Chassis?? U mean Chad he's the guy that made the kernel. Xloud I've noticed is more beneficial for the speaker on the phone whereas beats audio is specific to headphones. You should use both in whatever Rom you are running...that is flash Xloud like u would a Rom just to fix the terribly quiet speaker on the phone and if you are looking for a Rom that actually has working beats then use mikrom...its the only Rom I've found where it truly works when it says it does and it turns on when any music is played not just with headphones.
[HTC EVO 3D] inf3rno1:
Don't get the headphone business and the HTC Beats business twisted. Chad has said that he has never seen such intricate or complex codework done, and was thoroughly impressed with the HTC Beats drivers and codebase.

This isn't just a equalizer setting thats adding low end base. This is akin to updated, and better audio drivers, a 76 or 96 piece equilizer that I believe he said something like it scans and computes the audio through that huge EQ at 90 times a second. I have the Beats Solo HD headphones, the Beats tours earphones, and some Sennheisers, and I like them all for different reasons.

An HTC sense rom with Beats enabled, with Xloud enabled, and the Rezound Beats Drivers at the Kernel level, with good headphones, is absolutely amazing.

I am going to look up the exact quote from Chad himself, but trust me, this isn't just some simple bass adding EQ

EDIT--- HERE IS CHADS POST WORD FOR WORD FROM INFECTEDROM.COM

chad.goodman-

the code in the beats audio drivers is insane.. totally nuts - serious time and effort did go into it...

just a fyi.

32 band active eq, activally updating at 96 updates per second

i just expanded on what was there, and filtered all audio thru it

i also disabled any and all audio processing in the DAC (digital to analog converter)

-i feel the DAC should have 1 job, and only 1 job - conert audio from digital to analog... no post-processing of audio, adjusting levels, etc

-all sound and audio processing should be done in the sound chipset - this leaves the CPU alone to perform other tasks

while not 100%, im pretty close to having ALL audio processing done in the sound chipset, removing most of it from the cpu

roms without beats, such as MIUI have noticed a huge improvement in audio quality when comparing audio in my kernel to the tiamat kernel that comes with the rom...
