I don't know how bad your lag is, but I don't have any. So, I guess your homescreen is too cluttered anyways. Keep it clean and try less if it's that bad. That's all I can advise, as I have no lag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] D.O.C:
Why do you all do this?

Yeah, we are all bothered by the same questions asked and answered over and over again (we=devs)

Nevertheless, its users who troll and attack fellow users, making infinite threads about nothing.

Dont you realize that is exactly the reason why development sometimes stop?

It is 1000 times easier just to either:

1. Ignore the thread if you feel its useless

2. Answer politely without attacking anyone

3. Report the thread as useless and let us (XDA staff) handle OUR forum.

Trying to convince the 4million users xda has one by one by attacking them is definetively not the solution.

Then a troll comes along (trying to defend what XDA stands for) not realizing that is attitudes like that the ones that hurt us more. On top of that, other users play along, they thank him or reply to them, making obviously as you can see above, a useless thread.

I really hope you get to think about all of this before opening a new thread or making a useless post.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Distro123:

My question is i tried to find voodoo music & voodoo colors and i can't find them.I mean aren't they build-in the system(kinda o noob question i know :) )

.Apart the apex launcher i canot see any difference.

3)If i wish to install a different rom or kernel i simply zip it above the current or is there a different procedure?

Thanx for your time!
[Nokia Lumia 900] nokiaqueen:
ok so maybe this is a silly question..but does anyone know if it's possible to integrate gtalk/gmail chat into the Nokia Lumia 900 OS...just like windows live etc is integrated?
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
not thinking so...but there are several clients
[Nokia Lumia 900] falconeight:
Yes you can I do it everyday all day. I use IM plus, but there are others.
[Nokia Lumia 900] nokiaqueen:
but IM + is not integrated in the sms feature like windows live and facebook messages are..
[Nokia Lumia 900] falconeight:
Windows live is not integrated into sms, neither is Facebook messages.
[Nokia Lumia 900] nokiaqueen:
yes it is, from your threads, you can send a text message, windows live IM, or facebook message..it's all integrated
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Soupahgrheane:
Simply put, I got 2 Zio M6000's from a buddy of mines who upgraded from Cricket. I went home with the phones and added them to my vast collection of android devices. I began the root process on the first Zio. Foolishly I used the very first root tool I had handy. Super 1-Click root. The program recognized the phone and the rooting process began. All was a success until I disconnected the phone and rebooted. It than FROZE at the Kyocera screen. It'll sit there forever too. I'm not quite sure what to do. Dumb move on me. Any help?:(
[Kyocera Zio M6000] androidboi209:
Get into fastboot if you can. If you can your soft bricked. Hold down volume down button and power key while turning it on. Lmk how it goes then maybe we can help.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] itrustno1:
BELIEVE WHAT androidboi209 IS TELLING U! TRUST ME, HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING! (yo yo yo, whatup androidboi209)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] relax24:
Hi all, I know there are separate threads for all of this but I'd really appreciate if someone could just clarify if I'm doing this correctly. I've just ordered a new uk Gnex (wahey), and am in the process of backing up my apps (titanium backup) and copying my SDcard contents onto my PC, for when the Gnex comes. This is my game plan:

1) Use gnex toolkit to unlock bootloader, root and flash CWM

2) Flash rom of choice (cm9 nightly)

3) Flash gapps

4) Flash kernel

5) Copy old sdcard contents (pics, songs, titanium backup folder etc) from my Nexus one into the /data/media folder.

6) install titanium backup and restore apps and data (not system)

7) Sync all contacts etc

8) ???

9) Profit

Am I missing any steps here? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhernand1102:
The only thing I would add is to make sure you know how to use fastboot to recover in case you need it, while the gnex toolkit is nice I think it is a must to make sure you have the fastboot drivers working from a command prompt in case you need it.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] relax24:
Well I used fastboot to unlock by nexus one and root it and flash radios...Only the basics however. Hopefully that's enough

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Be sure that you have the same version of ICS running before restore. Data of contacts can be stored differently. I had that problem coming from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2, causing a bootloop. Contacts can better be synchronized through your Google account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
I would do it all manually, not using the Toolkit so you undertsand how the phone works and what you're doing.

Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM, flash SU, erase the file which causes the recovery to be overwritten, flash CWM again, backup, enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] relax24:
Are there any advantages to doing it manually rather than the toolkit. I feel comfortable knowing what's happening in the background, just thought the toolkit would be easier than doing it manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pandages:
rooted yesterday, included the links I used.

I've rooted a Droid X2 by hand before, which was fun, but I didn't feel like doing it all manually again. What's important is that you learn the inner workings of the OS, especially the general workflow of the bootstrap process.

I rooted my gnex-toro yesterday, using the GNex Toolkit by mskip. I did this after reading several step-by-step walkthroughs of the process. mskip's tool works quickly and efficiently. Once I had the ClockWorkMod Recovery installed, I was able to replace 4.0.2 with das7892's build of 4.0.4 IMM76D. I then replaced Verizon's Radio APKs with the versions from the leaked 4.0.4 IMM30B. It runs so well now. I'm getting about double the battery life, and strong signal all around. Also, das7892 introduced me to the Apex Launcher, which is pretty awesome.
[HTC One X] Aeneas:
A lot of people have talked their fear of the camera lens becoming scratched.

It got me thinking. Would part of screen protector work? Would it affect the camera?

I remember having a Zagg InvisibleShield for an old iPod Nano (full body) and the circular cutout for the middle of the wheel was quite like a lens cover.

So, maybe someone could get something like this to market, if there was enough demand. With the right tools, it could be made by cutting holes in screen protectors.

I also saw this, which echoes my sentiments nicely.
[HTC One X] thermalboyz:
Isn't the lens glass Gorilla Glass too? If it is Gorilla then no point having a shield.
[HTC One X] Hampa_D:
why is it no point? try to rub some fine sand on the display and see how it looks then. keys would probably not hurt it nor knifes but some fuxing sand could give you pretty nice scratches. try it if you don't believe me.
[HTC One X] BugsyLawson:
I can understand your concern, but I definitely wouldn't put anything like a screen protector directly on the lens. Any kind of coating can cause serious degredation of image quality.
[HTC One X] simmarjit:
I wanted to know about this too, there are scratches on my DHD lens cover and I don't want to have it on my one x when it comes.
[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
A screen protector on the camera lens will most definitely degrade the photo- and video quality.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
One reason I prefer pouches over cases.
[HTC One X] brent8577:
i will be looking for a case that puts enough bulk on the back to block contact.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
I originally posted this in the reviews thread, thought it was relevant repeating here:

Been trawling through the reviews all day. Even more excited now! Almost all concerns laid to rest except one: The protruding camera lens and it's ease of damage/scratches. One of my favourite sites (that always seen to match my opinions anyway) is Trustedreviews.com, and just finished going over their review, and seen something quite worrying that the reviewer doesn't pick up on. Check out the close up he has taken of the camera lens...

Now it's not just me right? Those are scuffs on the rim and a couple of scratches and what certainly looks like a crack (it's even casting a shadow) on the lens? I am going to e-mail him to ask if he dropped it, but after seeing a demo video of it being in a tumble dryer for 8 hours, I would love to then see a picture of it's camera lens afterwards. Maybe a case is in order when I take this thing outside!

Full review can be found here: http://www.trustedreviews.com/htc-one-x_Mobile-Phone_review
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Yea he dropped it. You can see on the casing in the top right corner also.

You don't have a camera that protrudes that much without it being damaged.

A pouch sounds like the best idea, a neoprene one.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Official pouch is leather with microfiber inside - should cover this problem well enough.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup pouch is the easy solution, when you take it out place it on the pouch instead of touching direci the surface
[HTC One X] exotikos:
a bit of an expensive (not really if you think what you are covering) solution would be to get one of the screen protectors (clear one so it doesn't affect that much the results of the camera) and try to cut a piece to fit on the camera lens, if possible...
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
Kind of (entirely) defeats the purpose of putting decent optics in the phone if you're going to stick plastic over the top of it.
[HTC One X] Gibeon:
Scratching it isn't any better, I guess.

I've got some small scratches too (already), but I've been extremely careful with the device.:confused:
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
On your One X??

that sucks......well, you cant have a camera lens like that without it scratching honestly.

Best to get a pouch or a case that does something to prevent it from being scratched.

And putting a protector on the lens is not a good idea. Degrades photo quality quite a lot
[HTC One X] x3phyr:
If only there were a way someone could make one that's removable as needed, a la old school cameras, one that would click onto the outer rim and just relax there.

EDIT:

http://www.amazon.com/Cell-Phone-Camera-Lens-Protector/dp/B004GZSXQI

It's a bit obnoxious... but for those to whom it matters, it wouldn't be a horrid idea.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Something like that, but with a smooth surface and better tapered onto the body, would be ideal. Just a mill or two more height than the lens cover glass would be enough... Question is, would that be enough to prevent the speaker dock working?
[HTC One X] jo3yp:
Something similar to the Case Mate Barely There case I had for the Desire HD would do the trick. The Desire HD lense also stuck out, but it was indented slightly by a raised metal rim, unlike the HTC One X which is completely flat. Even this slight indentation prevented the lense from being scrathed when putting the phone down.

The case was very thin and slight so hopefully Case Mate will be coming out with something similar for the HTC One X, but until it is available I'm going to get an official pouch as I'm terrified not only of scrathing the lense, but even the coating on the back of the housing which seems incredibly soft
[HTC One X] twistedh:
I have this and feels like a good quality products. Just waiting for my phone to put it in now. Thick enough to protect against drops but small enough not to add too much additional bulk to the phone. Plus the fact it polishes the screen is great.
[HTC One X] MrMinh:
Someone should come up with a phone that has an "eyelid" like all point and shoots. Some sony phones have a protective cover that slides up and down to protect the lens
[HTC One X] knoobie:
Could you post some pictures of the pouch with your phone when it arrives??
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
Expansys have it for pre-order, release at the end of April. I have a casemate barely there on my HTC Desire, its been brilliant, so i've pre-ordered this for my One X. In the meantime, i'm being stupidly careful with the phone, i've even considered taping over the lens until the case is released! :P

http://www.expansys.com/case-mate-barely-there-case-for-htc-one-x-black-rubber-230044/
[HTC One X] s.m.knipe:
The lenses are almost never high-grade expensive glass like GG like the screen (where users are more likely to notice/cause scratches.

A protector would certainly diminish photo quality, a better idea would be a case that more than accounts for the protrusion (allowing the lens itself to be recessed) that would create a lip to deflect all but direct blows to the lens.

+1 to the neoprene case too
[HTC One X] theliquid:
I am also worrying about scratches on the lens. (Especially due to the uni-body case ...)

I'll give it a try to cut out a fitting piece of a ultra clear screen protector and I'll apply it for testing purposes on the lens.

I'll report about the image quality reduction ...
[HTC One X] theliquid:
Update: I applied a cut-out of the original HTC screen protector on the lens and can't see any reduction of image quality ...
[HTC One X] shea-bird:
could you post a few pics :)
[HTC One X] eeporkbun:
I have a more practical consideration is that I always leave fingerprints on the lens and I will get some "soften" images...... After I rub it with a lens cleaning cloth it comes back normal......
[HTC One X] blueacidic:
looks like screen protector is the only way for now :cool:

The quality is ok for me ...
[HTC One X] Spinstorm:
I used sticky tape/sellotape and put that over the camera.

I am pissed at HTC for that design. I have had a white One X for two weeks and love it but then yesterday saw scratches on the lens!!!!

They did not effect the images taken with the camera but I knew I could not let them stay that way so I tried to find something to cover the lens.

In the end I went for tape as its easier to stick to the lens and surrounding area.

It doesn't look too bad and although not a perfect solution it will have to do.
[HTC One X] zegermans:
My wife had a packet of screen protectors that she never used for her iphone 3gs.

The bit that you push out for the button is the perfect size - it even covers the metal bezel around the lens.

I've not noticed a discernible drop in image quality.
[HTC One X] amacrobie:
Just received my official slim case for my HOX, has a 2mm protrusion around the lens which should reduce the chance of damage. Very surprised this detail wasn't finished in gorilla glass tbh, particularly considering the focus on its imaging abilities (no pun intended)
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
totally agree there.. HTC really needs to STOP designing phones with a protruding camera lens which begs to get scratch all the time..

im getting really fed up with this design..
[HTC One X] :
I've had my handset for a little over 24hrs and have been fairly careful so far. I am however quite.... errrrm ....'robust' with my phones once I've had the things a while and the novelty has worn off.

I can report that on VERY close inspection with a magnifier some marks were evident although thankfully they were removed with a lens cleaning cloth. The glass used in the lens cover is certainly NOT the same material used for the screen.

There's no practical reason why any well selected and carefully applied protective covering should introduce any noticeable degradation to image quality. 35mm SLRs use a wide variety of lens filters sometimes even several a once without any serious issues and from an photographic perspective the principle is precisely the same.

Sent from my HTC One X using some bits of old wire and a box of frogs.....
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
There is a very, VERY big difference between a high quality, multicoated optical glass filter for a digital SLR, and a cheap plastic adhesive overlay that's designed to prevent (very minor) scratches first and foremost, and to have minimal impact to viewing of the LCD display as a secondary function.

There will, without question, be a significant degradation in image quality (most likely blurring of fine detail, hazing and reduction of contrast, discoloration, and probably some ghosting / haloing as well) with a piece of LCD protector stuck over your lens, and it will get significantly more noticeable with time, as the relatively soft (compared to glass) plastic of the protector itself picks up microscratches and not-so-micro scratches that cause even greater blurring and loss of detail.

I'm not saying it is a bad idea to do, but I am saying very clearly that there will be a loss of image quality, and it will be noticeable. Definitely by the discerning eye, and quite likely by the layman too, if you do a careful comparison.
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
received my martin fields protector (with lens protectors)

applied perfectly to the screen, not a single bubble. I think this was more to do with my surgical precision rather than the protector tho :)

the lens protector was fiddly but went on with no issues. i took a before and after pic and there is no visible difference that I can see between the two, so those saying lens protectors degrade photo quality; it's just not the case.

happy with the martin fields protector :D
[HTC One X] 2weiklang:
But still there needs to be something more usable and not as obtrusive. I'm not the typical pouch user and have never had any issues with the camera lens on any phone so far. But with the One X, rim scratches already occurred after 4 days, though I handled the phone with extreme care.

I'd try to engineer something like a rubber ring (maybe a blocking o-ring or sth.) big enough to go right around the lens and small enough to not affect the LED flash. It should also be easily de- and attachable for cleaning of the lens...

There must be a way to get this darn thing protected other than pouches!
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
you mean like this?

http://www.cheapcameralens.info/cell-phone-camera-lens-protector/
[HTC One X] 2weiklang:
Err well YES! Exactly like this one :D

Now only got to find some distributor here in Germany...

lil' expensive though...

THANKS!
[HTC One X] stiflerakos:
i think a good case from silicon is the best solution...
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
All that proves is that *you* can't tell the difference, not that there isn't one. There are also folks claiming there isn't a difference between standard and high-bitrate video, when people who know about it can see a night and day difference.

Not everybody is very discerning about image quality.
[HTC One X] theliquid:
I bought a new cool (pink :D) tool for cutting out 1cm circles of the original HTC screen protector to protect the camera lens.

Its a simple cutter you can use for crafting ...

Best way to a perfect cut-out! :D

[HTC One X] Albert Poon:
Could you also post the final product?
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
Yes.. I've compared the result in Lightroom, believe me there is no difference. Try it yourself and come back with evidence to the contrary
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Yes, there is a difference. I'm not wasting my time and money buying and cutting screen protectors, applying them to my lens, shooting a proper before and after comparison series, then removing the screen protectors and cleaning any remaining gunk back off my lens to prove what simple physics says is unquestionably the case.

All you can say is that you can't notice the difference, likely because you've not actually done a very good comparison. The difference will also get more noticeable both with time (as your screen protector gets dirty and scraped up), and in the right lighting conditions.
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
whatever. this is a camera phone, not a DSLR. the screen protector was not cut to size, it was supplied to fit, i simply cleaned the lens and applied the protector.

Now i've combined it with a £3 chinese rock case (mentioned elsewhere) which raises the back of the phone above the lens, so I have a protected lens with no visible deterioration of the image..

what exactly is your suggestion then? you seem to be insisting i've ruined my camera but are presenting absolutely nothing yourself.

Believe me people, a screen protector on the lens will NOT destroy your camera as certain people would have you believe, if there is any effect at all, it's so tiny you'll probably never notice it.
[HTC One X] Albert Poon:
I tried using screen protector and I also really cant tell the different, unless u r using sandwashed screen film.

Or if you are so damn concern about the quality, remove the lens too.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I never said ruined. Please don't put words into my mouth. It won't be ruined, but it will be noticeably degraded. Only you can decide if that's a worthwhile tradeoff for you. For me, I know the loss of quality will not be worthwhile for the microscopic amount of protection the piece of thin plastic adds.
[HTC One X] huruhara:
benks SP comes with lens protector ( 5 sizes )
[HTC One X] dawnfighter:
im using lense protection as well that i cut out from cheap screen protector dunno for what phone..what i can say.. i cant really tell the difference with naked lense.. (i did some comparison before and after) its not like im going to make a billboard with my photo :D.. i rather change the protector every month or when it get yellow .. it's much better than let the lense itself get a scratch..that time..nothing else you can do..
[HTC One X] eve7:
Hi everyone,

My solution to the camera lens situation is I have bought a flip case and I bought a pouch which was custom made. I gave them my measurements which means the pouch is big enough for the flip case to fit into. That way I have double protection as when you just use a pouch alone if you drop the phone when you take it out the pouch your screwed.
[HTC One X] lukesky:
from what I can see in the thread, there are several people already pasting screen protectors over their cams and they have good results so i think it's safe to say that unless u're very anal about cam quality (which begs the question why u're shooting with a phone cam & not a DSLR), it should be ok to paste a good screen protector over the cam lens without any noticeable loss in quality.
