gb for game

ics for ui

:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
Battery on gb and ics when someone say 1 day or 3 days or 5 days are all true - it all deppends on usage, brightness etc. I am trying to findout how many minutes can you talk with 1% on GB with 3G signal and how much with 2G. On ICS I can speak cca 10mins with 1% on 2G and cca 5mins with 3G signal.

As I said - surfing 30 mins on 3G costs me cca 10%. How much can you do with 1% on GB? 30min surfing 3G eats how much %? Talking 3G eats 1% every __ mins?

I've been jumping between GB, ICS and JB on the Ray.

My configurations, (all on smartassv2, sio, 122MHz - 1.024GHz, 16GB class 10 Sandisk)

GB

Rom: Forsaken v3.5

Kernel: Aire boot_uv7.1.69-sysinit

ICS

Rom: Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2

Kernel: CTCaer v2.6

JB

Rom: Super Jelly Bean v3.0

Kernel: Fusion v5.0

Well, I have to say GB certainly is very smooth, everything loads way faster than on ICS/JB. Apps just pops out milliseconds after you click em. But for me battery life is not that good on GB, in my case, battery drains faster than ICS/JB.

ICS/JB looks very good, but they have that tiny lag almost everywhere. Apps open slower, but battery life is very good. I only lost around 8%-9% in 2 - 3 hours with Wifi/2G data on all the time. (using my config of course)

Gaming-wise, I'm only playing casual games, Fruit Ninja/Jetpack/Samurai Vengeance. Mostly the same on GB/ICS/JB. The only HD game I've tested is Anomaly Warzone Earth, same smooth gameplay on all versions of Android.

XDA rom developers made good roms for our phones, you only need to choose which rom you want to stick to according to what you need/want.

Sorry for the long post. :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mehrdadkhadem:

im usibg GB because i think the GB Rom is very smooth and fast and waiting for hasa v6 rom for using it.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] marutirao1:
Gb is best

Hi. I tried almost all custom roms

But finally I am using stock gb

Sony released latest gb update now my mobile battery backup is improved great

And my mobile volume is low. I noticed onething that app called volume+ is increasing speaker volume

Only works with gb, in ics its not working.

Better use stock gb and update to latest really now the battery backup is very good
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] smoke_slim:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
1% battery lasts how many minutes of 2G talk, 3G talk, 3G browsing? Display 30%.

You can monitor it with batterybot or similar app.

Or 10% battery is how many minutes? Thats maybe more accurate..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
ICS is harder on the battery. If ICS has some killer app I can't get on GB, I'll consider the move.

Here's something I want to share, usual battery life on stock ICS on lockd bl. It looks ok to me, considering the fact that I took my phone out of the plug almost a day ago and whole day I usd it.. Netwrk as 2g only, EDGE turnd on-never put off, some texting, little bit voice call, played Temple Run 2 and Granny Smith for smwhat around half-an-hour, browsd xda, fb, playd music for little and here it is now, finally put on charge. I am happy wd it, mayb GB would beat it by sm hours but I'm glad it could survive a whole day...looks legit :) I use no tweaks except xplode-4 which has smthng to do wid vm and entropy-generating kinda stuff. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aisyahelzahra:
I've tried both in many ROMs and tweaks.

For me, gb's UI can be as nice as ics according to mods etc, and ics' battery can be as long as gb, according to usage, tweaks, etc

Then I, choose to sometimes switch between them...

GB gives me better performance than ICS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
I tryed booth gb and ics on stock with root and deleted bloatware. Both work good and stabile. Gb have more free ram and little bit better performance. Video 14Mbps work excelent with lgcamera. Maybe better batterylife a little bit on gb.

In short, on ray ics can sense that this is minimal system requirements phone. Avarage user wont notice it - but if you want maximum out your phones hardware and performance, go for gb! ICS is no mistake also, just looks new and fresh, with few new options. On ics 12 Mbps video is no big difference than gb 14Mbps. There is no lag in ui. Everything is also gret. Both gb and ics are great choice! You cant go wrong.

In a GB based rom I have always better wifi coverage in a rom based on ICS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seljachina:
in stock GB, when I power ON Bluetooth, cant receive file immediately.. need to wait about 30 sec(i don't know why). on cm7.9.10 and stock ICS that is not the case.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IcanIhsanuddin:
I actually prefer GB than ICS, but I dont know why I really love the features in ICS that can not be found on GB such as browser sync with google chrome, google now, and the swipe away recent app. So i keep searching the perfect ICS custom rom which can perform, at least close like GB. Unfortunately I can not find it till now. :( Any recommendation?

Ps: I dont ask for the best ICS custom rom, I ask for fastest, lightest and the best performances. :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] johnny.tifosi:
I just moved from stock GB to Ultimate HD 3.0.2 (since GB is not supported anymore from various apps :(). It feels smoother, it has the same battery life and it's as good in heavy games (real racing 3) as GB. It uses a lot more ram, but it has not been a problem until now. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few other good ICS ROMs here on XDA, we are lucky that our 2011 Xperias have so many great developers. :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] terminator93:
ics is better than gb

because ics is very fast and Including best perfomance:cool:

in ics very more app supported

but In some cases like camera , gb is better:good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
I also belived ICS is better, but gb wins! ICS is ok, but gb gives better performance, batterylife, camera, RAM. ICS have all that but 10% worse. And it is more beautifoul and supports some apps you dont realy need

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] johnny.tifosi:
Are you comparing stock GB to stock ICS? Because stock GB was perfect, but stock ICS was just a load of cr@p. Huge lag everywhere. However, the custom ICS ROMs here on XDA have solved almost all problems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
Yes, stock vs stock. Root and deleted bloatware. Custom roms are story for it self... There is a lot of roms for every flawour. So anyone can find best custom rom for him self. And basicaly you must read tarageted rom thread and try rom.

For now i am ok with stock gb. But custom ics would be better than stock-because problems are polished!
[HTC One S] Spybreak:
I had the feeling the One S camera was slightly better tuned than the one on the X, even though they use the same sensor and lens.

Lo and behold, I was right. I have prepared this comparison image where you can see the differences. Both shots were made 15 seconds apart, with the same camera settings (-1 Sharpness, Auto WB)

- The S has better white balance. More natural tones.

- The X has too much artificial sharpening going on.

- The X is noisier

- The S resolves slightly more detail, probably due to not being so processed.

I recommend you view the image in a computer monitor, to see the 1:1 sections full size.

I knew I made the right choice keeping the S instead of the X :)
[HTC One S] frdd:
A bit more saturated colors on the One X, (the orange part of the wall comes to mind...) not sure which one I prefer though. Also, do you always have trees growing out of your drain pipes in Spain?:D wanna come down there and drink mojitos!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smokestorm:
Hi,

Can anyone give me feedback on the combo of liquid smooth rom 1.35 & lean kernel 3.3.0? I am looking for performance & battery life am not after heavy customization.

I am using stock 4.0.4 with Franco kernel 3.0.8 M2 and am getting about 3.5 screen on and 12 hours usage before I have to plug in.

Will the above combo give a better battery life?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Personally, I use LeanKernel Stables exclusively.

They've always been the most fluent and the best on battery for me.

Haven't tried Liquid in probably two months...

But the users still vouch for it.

You'll have to try and find out.

However, the rom itself shouldn't have much impact on battery...

It's primarily kernel based.

So maybe you should try flashing LeanKernel on your current set-up and see if you like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepayanneogi:
The killer combination , :p Liqsmooth customization options + apex pro + lean kernel 3.3.0 exp 4 230 is just heavenly .

I will not compare between franco and lean but somehow i always manage to flash Lean after a rom upgrade ... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cldwar:
Used LS with lean kernel got 4+ screen time ..... good combination (telling from my personal experience)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cldwar:
+ don't forget to apply the GPS fix on Liquid Smooth if your flashing the lastest 1.35.

Hi everyone,

I'm creating this thread, because I'm in need of some help with my galaxy s2 phone.

I have instaled Ressurection Remix ICS room.

Model: GT-I9100

Version Android: 4.0.4

Base: I9100XXLPQ

Kernel Version: 3.0.27-Siyah-v3.0.1+gm@gm-mint )

Compilacion Number: v32-11.04-remix-edition

Mod version: ressurection remix ics v1.4 by westcrip 4.0.4

So, now the problem:

I installed already diferent sip phones, CSipSimple,Linphone, Sipdroid. But in all I have the same problem, I can register, I can reveice and make calls, but the audio from my phone to outside is not working. It seams that micro is not working.

I already read some threads and found some info in CSipSimple, about to change the source of micro.

I already tested it a lot of times, and changed to a lot of diferente sources. But currently it stills not working.

Can anyone give me a hand on this?

Thanks in advance.

If you checked Conversation Sounds and plug in your headset while using Whatsapp, Beats Audio will be activated each time there is new msg in your conversation (while you in the conversation window)...

It doesn't hurt but it is not necessary :p
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
Yes. The beats audio symbol pops up in notifications bit only with headphones plugged in.notification sound is still the same.

Annoying but so was losing 4 out of 6 beats profiles.
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
I'm still hoping they will be reintroduced in a further update. I'm going with the newer code wad causing the skipping in music so they reverted back to the older one until they can fix it.

Download poweramp and its 100x better than beats ever was.
[HTC One X] Exanimus:
LOL! Beats Pro and Beats Studio profiles was really great when i plugged my phone into my car's sound system. Poweramp just destroys everything and makes it sound like every bit of soundwave is distorted to the maximum (according to my opinion)

And one more thing: It's a bit hard to play Spotify through Poweramp :P Since i use Spotify or Grooveshark for all my music :P

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I got SGS2 as a replacement to my beloved SGS1 which I sold to my friend. I've read some FAQ's but I'm still unsure about some things. Can you please throw some light on my concerns?

1. Installing official firmwares via odin will NOT increase the flash counter, right? I would like to replace my branded Orange with vanilla ROM.

2. My phone has new GB 2.3.6 (branded Orange BVKL1) so I won't be able to reset flash counter with USB JIG after loading rooted kernel. If I decide to stay with GB I have to load old bootloader, right? For ICS I should use Triangle Away?

3. Is there /efs folder and how to back it up? Do I need to?

4. Is it worth upgrading to Samsung ICS or it's still too buggy? I'm used to GB and I can use it few months more. I prefer to have stable ROM with light battery usage rather than latest features that are not polished.

5. Can you recommend me some good GB and ICS kernel? I'm looking for something similar to Semaphore. I don't care about overclockig (phone is super smooth, comparing to SGS) but I would like to have deep idle and Voodoo Color (is it avalilable for SGS2?). Is Hardcore kernel OK? I used it in SGS, but it was very long time ago.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crucio_:
1. Installing official firmwares will not increase your flash counter. The thing that increases your flash counter is custom kernels.

2. If you have a USB jig i would flash the old bootloader reset the counter and then flashback to the ICS bootloader if you wish to have it. I did this yesterday and the old bootloader had no problems booting in CM9.

3. I havent backed up my EFS folder but people do suggest that you do. I know there are apps out there to do this but i haven't looked in to it so i cant really comment.

4. I have used the sammy ICS and it is stable. battery however isn't if you stick to the stock kernel. raffaele88 has a very nice and stable sammy based (LP7) Rom in the dev section which i have found to be the best custom ICS sammy based rom atm.

5. For kernels most popular is probably Siyah or N.E.A.K. they have both ISC and GB versions. Hardcores kernel is meant to be good but i have never used it so again i cant comment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorator:
Welcome to the sgs2 forums.

There's a Q&A section if you didn't notice...

I recommend you install XWLA4 from this thread using odin. It's the last GB rom for SGS2 and it's blazing fast without any known issues. It will debrand your phone and update to the newest version.

Don't bother with custom kernels for now. You will have great batterylife even with the stock kernel. If you're ready for them, the most popular ones are Siyah, Speedmod and NEAK.

Currently there is no software method to remove the triangle and custom binary counter on GB but on ICS you will manage with Triangle Away, so if you want to root your LA4 you will have to get a jig to reset the binary counter.

For now I don't think there's any reason for you to upgrade to ICS as it is slower overall and drains the battery more.

I have both the sgs1 and 2 and gingerbread is the way to go on both of them for now. Not until there's proper hardware acceleration for the browser at least.

Good Luck and have fun!

Back up EFS with Hellcat's kTool from Google Play (free).

Should you back it up ? Hell yes. Keep a copy of the backup on your external SD card in your phone, and another copy on your PC. You'd be surprised at how many people we get thru here every week with borked EFS/IMEI & no backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibbi_pl:
Thank you for your quick answers! I'll probably stay with GB for now, I just need to make myself a JIG just to have an option of resetting the counter.

This is really one of the most detailed but still very comprehensive Tutorial about bootanimations I've seen yet! Big probs for that!

There is an aspect in editing bootanimations and I've been thinking about it for months, but still don't have a solution:

What I want to do is editing a bios-bootanimation to fit perfectly to my device and ROM.

This is an example how a bios animation looks like (not the one I would use as base):

Android Bios Bootanimation[/CENTER]

Preview​

​

I only have to change a few parts within the parts to make it fit to my configuration.

Is that possible in a relative fast way? Something like appending changes to several pictures in a batch operation or anything like that? That would be enough for me. But I didn't find any tool I could use that way.

Hope you can help me out! :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] GuestK0091:
Well, batch operations can be recorded in Photoshop and then applied pretty easiy like I wrote in the tutorial, the Gimp has this plugin called "David's Batch Processor" that I found after some research:

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html

It does some basic batch operations as well. If this will help you out is highly depending on what effect you want to achieve. If you actually want to change the animation it's going to be A LOT harder... Let me know if you found this useful :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] GuestK0091:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] austin266:
as the adobe after effects require a 64 bit windows os., am having 32 bit os...can i able to use it for creating my own boot animation
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] GuestK0091:
Well.. I used and still use After Effects CS4, both on a 32bit and now on a 64bit system. Unfortunately After Effect stopped supporting 32bit systems since CS5 came out, so unless you can get your hands on After Effects CS4 you're not going to be able to run it on a 32bit system :(. If you're really planning on getting AE I would recommend getting a 64bit Winodws copy. What are your system specifications? :)

Even if you would get After Effects CS4 or below, I'm afraid you'll need a bit more powerful pc to run it without crashing :(. After effects is only available for Windows or Mac by the way, so you are not able to get it on Ubuntu as well.
