Hi Bro & Sis,

Frankly speaking,Im bit confused about MIUI & LEWA OS porting status for our x8 ether its agains of XDA Rules or not.As me understand its like this:

-Porting isnt wrong if somebody do it from own rom resource(based own rom).

-Any tutorial & other source is open to anybody to used it as long as proper credit given.

So,me didnt see any wrong of it and me also wondering are there any of our DEV who has a own rom willing to do it if its legal.

Yes,we have many roms(MIUI & LEWA) out there but its based on somebody else rom which is not promising for development(bug fixing,better performance etc) because as I know beside its remain ori bugs its also bring new bugs & little lag of performance.

If anybody has diff point of view please share it to help me be more clear about regarding issue.

THANKS
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Please read here for your reference.

Actually the reason why colossus keep on closing such thread in development its because of the failure to comply this rules. I dont see any hard part in following that rule. Let me simplify.

Now you want to mod or port ROM? Here are some checklist.

1. If you will be using a based ROM. Please make sure you have proper permission from the base ROM developer. THIS IS A MUST.

Now you have permission eh?

So you can start modding/porting the ROM.

What if I didnt get permission?

Dont worry you can still mod/port that ROM but please do not share it here. In short it applies only for personal use.

2. If you already done porting then create a thread in X8 Themes & Apps. If your rom becomes popular and you apply your own fix etc. Then please contact the MOD so that the ROM will be moved to Development Section. (Ofcourse it will still undergo screening if that would fit on the Dev Section.

Now guys what is the hard part understanding those Rules implied?

back to bed :) zZZzzhh
[XPERIA X8 General] zmuhammx:
Deedii,

By your statement,me understand this;

Porting rules is a same as modding/theming rules(must be place in x8 theme sec.)

As I know,this rules is for someone who modding/theming based on others rom because ori Dev usually not modding/theming their own rom & open a new thread.

If they did or add/remove something,we can call it a next updates.

Its make sense if someone porting based on others but how about porting based on own roms?

For example;How about if nAa porting MIUI based on his MiniCM?

Should its must place in theme sec too?

BTW,its help me clear a bit thats porting based on somebody else rom is NOT agains XDA rules if you put in theme sec. with a permission & proper credit.thanks

p/s:sorry if disturb u,its 8.00am in my place when I make this thread:D
[XPERIA X8 General] chbea:
i thinks the miui and lewa os remove because some warez or legal issue.

i agree that we can post rom with permission. but i think that miui os and lewa os is consider as theme bercause based from cm 7.1 or 7.2 etc. lasttime i saw ppl post that lewa os is theme ginger dx , meybe they need get permission.

p/s: something i no understands. for example , if some 1 take minicm7 with permission then add tweak like gps tweaks,bravia, other rom lib etc from other people is consider development??? nowday dev is like zoo many cm 7.1, 7.2
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Ofcourse it will be considered as development. If you based it with your own ROM then there is no issue since its yours. What are you confused about?

As stated no its not. Instead of posting the whole rom you can actually make a flashable zip on that tweak that you want to put.
[XPERIA X8 General] zmuhammx:
OK.Now I get it.Thank You, Deedii.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
I dropped my samsung captivate today on the hard brick floor and now it has a greenish screen but still works and still can see all aspects of the phone. everything looks green now and my eyes started to ache when i used for few minutes. is there anyway to get it back to normal?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnjmnalan:
My wife's captivate got wet so I took it apart and cleaned it with CRC QD electronic cleaner (the power button stopped working a couple days before). Now the screen has a green tint. Anyone know a thread to explain a fix?

Captivate green screen fix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyboneNoya:
I remember changing colours and found this with a search of "advanced color tuning". "In settings/advance/color tuning set gamma levels: red -11, green -12, blue -11

And then just change brightness levels to custom ones."

This might help if your on CM9 nightly or THS.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Didnt work for me...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnjmnalan:
I got my color back to normal again.

I took the phone apart, removed several of the electrical connections and cleaned them using CRC QD electronic cleaner and a couple q-tips. I did this after the phone sat for a few days as I didn't have time for it. Now the color is great and the power button works like new.

Noticed a new problem: the phone does not recognize the sim card. Says 'no service, please insert sim card'. The sim card works fine in an old dumb phone that we have but this Captivate shows no sign that there is a card installed.

The contacts look good. Not sure where to start. An hour of searching this forum has not been useful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you had disassembled the phone to clean it, you may need to open it up again and double check to make sure that any cables running to the SIM card slot are making full contact.

What probably happened with your green screen is that when the phone fell, a ribbon cable jostled loose and wasn't making proper contact on the line/lines that was/were processing the red and/or blue LEDs. A similar situation may be going on with your SIM card reader now.

Just a guess, though.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotnikman:
Is it possible to return the kindle fire back to its factory setting? i need to send mine back because it is either not charging or charging extremely slowly

i am running the hellfire rom right now, but even before then i was running a rooted kindle fire and it would not charge, no matter what charger or cable i used using the hellfire rom it does charge but extremely slowly.

im not sure if its the hardware or not

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] springsyeti:
Went on a long road trip and I think the phone sitting on the dash during the day fried something. I keep getting extended messages that say media scanner is running when trying to use camera app after reboot, stops after about 15 minutes and I can take pics. I have tried several rooms, reformatted sd cards, used apps to scan the cards and nothing works. I need to return to sprint for repair/replacement. I have a Mac so Odin is out. Can I flash stock rom/kernel via recovery or mobile Odin? Help is appreciated..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
For Mac, you would use heimdale I think its spelt. I don't know anything about the layout but I'd assume it basically does the same thing. So if you can, go to sfhubs el29 stock rooted thread and flash it through heimdale like that then you can use the auto root program to unroot it.

After installing a couple of Apps on my One X, the Screen began to freeze. Because I wanted to reboot it, but it was always the same.

I opened CWM and wanted recover my phone, but after that it didn't boot anymore, i just saw the bootscreen, but nothing else.

I hope someone can help me.

Wipe? Reflash your ROM? Reading Disaster Recovery Thread?
[LG Optimus Black] KedarWolf:
Hi,

I had trouble rooting my Koodo Gingerbread P970g and installing a custom ROM.

So what I did was use the KDZ Flasher and flashed it to a stock ROM that I could root properly, if I recall right I used the European V20N stock ROM and rooted that. Then I installed ClockWorksTouchMod, then tried both Marvel 8 and Zeus 6.22 and they both worked great!

Stuck with Zeus 6.22 but this post may help you get a custom ROM on your Koodo P970g.
[LG Optimus Black] aniym:
Were you running stock 2.2 originally or the factory ptovided 2.3.4 update?
[LG Optimus Black] KedarWolf:

[LG Optimus Black] jdayscokn:
I'm with koodo as well. I used smart flash with the

bin/fls files which i think is the easiest method. Then i decided i wanted to go back to the koodo stock Rom, tried going through LG update but caused it to go into bootloop. So i got the kdz file and tried the cwm image inject process along with kdz updater and although it takes a little more concentration it worked great for me to get root access on the stock Rom of MY specific carrier. Just thought id share my experience and I'm back to Zeus :) only because there are 0 options for kernels with stock gb Rom

Been running Darkside rom for several weeks now without any issues. Just picked my phone up to check it and it says no service and "searching" but never gets signal. I took the sim out and used it in my other phone without any issues. I have the replacement warranty if I need to swap it but is there anything I could try before I do that and return it to stock? WifI calling does work but with Wifi off, no cellular service. Thanks.

I had this with my old iPhone. It usually happens when its baseband crashes. For some reason jailbreaking always did that to it.

Just reboot your phone. If it happens very often you might have a bad flash.

[Samsung Mesmerize] livinsacrfice:
easytether, pdanet, wifi tether for root, native tethering

none of them work. they take you to a page asking you to pay $20 per 1GB.

anyone else having similar issue?

EDIT: after further testing, the block seems to be browser based. I was able to play RIFT via tether. My guess is they are blocking via user-agent string in browser (edit #2: confirmed!)?
[Samsung Mesmerize] staple_gun:
confirmed

You're right. If you use a user agent switcher add-on/extension with Firefox or Chrome, it'll look like you're on a Android device or Iphone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] babygirl17_06:
I am using FireFox and I downloaded Super User Agent from the addons! What it does is it shows up as a mobile browser instead of a PC browser! They are blocking all PC browser from using their service to tether! After downloading it you can select what you want it to show up as, like Android, iPhone, Opera Mobile and even FireFox! I am using the Firefox 10 option that they have not blocked yet! But I am really still using Firefox 12! Hope this helps you and please spread the word to other C Spire users having this problem!
[Samsung Mesmerize] staple_gun:
But now, with the User Agent switch, I can't watch Netflix while tethered. Anyone got that one figured out?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Dunjon:
It might be due to the 30 minute video pass per month that they just started.
[Samsung Mesmerize] staple_gun:
Nah, the reason that I can't get Netflix to work like that is because the site thinks I'm using a phone and is asking me to add the android or iphone app.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cspiresucks:
Fixmo Extend

Hi I just signed up here to let you know so far the only tethering app that works that I know of is Fixmo Extend. CSpire has went down hill with this move
[Samsung Mesmerize] proxysrvrt:
PDAnet has an option to hide tethering information and that seems to work for now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] delphidave:
I just installed FoxFi and the FoxFi addon which lets you enable a proxy server on port 8000. It works perfect.

[Samsung Mesmerize] livinsacrfice:
FoxFi works fine if you're not on jelly bean and you have not updated to the newest version (where they automatically downgraded their free version to a poor trial).
[Samsung Mesmerize] cspiresucks:
I'm on gingerbread and my version of foxfi won't start hotspot unless you upgrade.
[Samsung Mesmerize] proxysrvrt:
You can also go into a browsers dev tools and change the user agent to Safari/Firefox 4 or lower/Internet Explorer 6/iOS/Android. Ive gotten this to work with the 4.1 native hot spot on my Galaxy S using Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 9. Also i think it was mentioned but a User agent switcher extention works fine. Right now i use Safari 5 as it gives me a desktop experience. Dev tools are also nice in case you are on another machine and cant download an extension to a browser.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Just bought my Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store, can't say I regret it... just yet. Anyways, who else bit the bullet? The HD screen, plus ICS and pure google made it irresistible...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Nope. Can't afford a new phone and what's the point? I mean yea you get a nicer total hardware and all, but I really only use my phone for web browsing when not at my computer and texting.

I don't feel it would be worth upgrading from a one year old phone for no real upgrades.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] apicia:
You didn't miss out on anything. I did not like the Nexus. My SGS2 blew it away. The pentile screen on the Nexus left much to be desired. No expandable memory, and the touchscreen nav buttons take up screen space, making the useable screen space limited. Returned it.

Getting a G2x tomorrow to use as a daily driver. Will install the latest ICS for it. I look forward to checking out the devs work around here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Why would you come from a Galaxy SII to the G2x? I love my G2x, but it'd be awesome to have a.Galaxy SII.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] omr911:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] punyategar:
Do you really need that much developmnts going on? You cellphone to make make phone calls, texting, browse the web, games.

If android do need that many, that would mean a really big question on its quality.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Well I use my device constantly, and the screen size was one of my constant conplaints about the G2x. I love the phone, but I fell the G2x better suits my needs.

Of course the on screen nav keys take up space, that's why the screen size is 4.65"? There's less space wasted into bezel however, and that's appreciated. I definitely agree with the Pentile screen though, can't be that bad though.

Why are you downgrading from a SGS2 to a G2x however?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Wait...

What are you doing here then?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
That'd be the same as saying "why are there so many apps for the iPhone". Does it suck that bad that it needs apps to make it usable? No, development is always a good thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] apicia:
I still have the TMo SGS2. It dominates the Nexus. I was excited to get the Nexus, but it did not live up to expectations. Best phone out there is the SGS2 by TMo.

I got a good deal on a G2x, so I picked one up. Looks to be a nice phone. Reminds me of my Vibrant, but with upgraded specs.

Nexus = fail

SGS2 by TMo = best

G2x = tbd
[T-Mobile LG G2x] b1337:
Lol wow
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
I got the Tmobile GS2 and its become my main phone for a month now.

I really really really hated it. Back of my mind I still hate it. I have small hands and 4.7 screen really is too big. I hate the stock SMS app and replaced it with the CM7 SMS.

Slowly the phone has won me over, mainly because its reliable and doesn't have any crap or surprises. It just works.

I would have kept the G2X as my main but the reliability and GPS really killed it for me. Also, data kept just stopped working sometimes. Stupid little bugs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honestly, I've slowly warmed up to my SGS2 but slowly. I hate that it doesn't have CM7 solid and stable as my G2. TouchWiz does ok. It wins for reliability. I've tried to trade it. But really there isn't any better phones out there on T-Mobile. HTC One doesn't sway me because no memory expansion.

Right now I'm slowly moving all my personal data and info from the CM7 to Stock 2.3.3 on my G2X. Going stock for a while and away from CM7 based ROMS. Its a hate/love relationship on the phone. If it were solid and stable as the G2, I wouldn't have gotten the SGS2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rainynight88:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I love it too. I use my phone a lot for browsing the web too, and the GN makes it a lot better. Nice screen, and flash doesn't lag on the web unlike on the G2x.

But saying the S2 is better and Nexus is a fail is quite wrong. There's still no official ICS for the TMO S2... And that big screen with such low res looks ugly to me. I'm sure Whitehawkx and Roman left that phone for the Nexus for those same reasons.

But the G2x is awesome in it's own ways. I liked it as much as everyone else here with the G2x.

What ROM you running on your GN King?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
True, and a better phone than the T-Mo GS2 would be Sprints or At&t's, as they have the Exynos CPU.

And none yet unfortunately, its arriving tomorrow. :p Any recommendations?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
When the Galaxy Note/SGSIII hits Tmo, and the price is reasonable, I'll prob jump ship...

Maybe jumping ship around Aug... Or maybe if LG gave us a half decent release of ICS, I'll stay. Wub u all <3

You guys understand there's a whole forum dedicated to the nexus, right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
You'll enjoy it... ICS is a day and night better experience on the GN than it was on the G2x. I would recommend getting Franco's kernel updater to go with the kernel as well. It'll let you control voodoo sound and voodoo color for your SAMOLED screen. And much more.

Also, I see you're trying to see your G2x in Newhall. I'm not too far away from you in Palmdale. So far I'm having a hard time selling my mint G2x for 200, lol. No one wants it. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Wow, I love it. Battery was at 50% when I got it, its at 2% now, been using it since 5 pm. No lag, still customizing,

just wow. Definitely recommend. :D

Well yeah, I wanted to know how many G2x users jumped ship though.

Thanks! Franco's kernel is running perfectly, nothing to complain about! I though only the Nexus S ICS was supported for Voodoo sound though?

And yeah, I think I found a sale though. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I jumped ship but only because my work paid for a Verizon phone and pays the bill each month.

The pentile argument is crazy. It is plainly obvious that amoled HD pentile has better clarity then the amoled plus of the SGSII. It may be pentiled but the high def and the 2x-4x the amount of "pixels" makes it a better choice.

The G2x was a beast and a shame what LG did to abandon it.

The Nexus feels just as good and has both Google and a large community support. We'll also be the first to get jelly bean after the next nexus comes out... which you can't say for any other phone out right now.

I've had it since mid December and haven't had one lockup or freeze. I have a Ringke Slim case and never had to pull it off to remove the battery. No problems whatsoever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Yeah, the only way I'll see a difference is if I see an HD LCD with full RGB matrix, and compare it to my Nexus. Other than that, my screen beats everyone else's. ;)

I hated to leave my G2x, but I had to. Great decision, hopefully future flagship LG phones aren't left behind like that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylyxcore:
Good looking out, thanks for the tips. Yeah, but I have actually been getting some hits and I also listed it on Ebay for 250 buyout and 200 reserve. I have a couple of "watchers" so I hope to sell it lol. I should have never gotten this thing and kept my nexus one haha.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Off topic, but what's the proper way to break in a new battery? Do you power on the device and run until it's dead or do you charge it all the way out of the box and then power it up?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
From what I've heard, charge it all the way, then kill it like 3-5 times. I always run it down from the get go, so the battery percentage is correct.
