The actual process(after collecting all the files AND INFORMATION you'll NEED) take only minutes.

I would guess that odin takes about 2-3 minutes for each use

CWM takes about 4-6 mins placing files appropriately(automatically)

First boot can be a sweater because nothing really happens except constant logos that you arent used to being on for so long. Takes up to 10mins MAX for first boot of a "heavy rom" like a GB rom, or slightly less for "lighter" ICS roms. Patience here is very important. DO not shut down your phone during first boot EVER! lol

Before you know it, you'll be flashing like crazy.

Remember this advice;

Always make a backup(nandroid) in CWM before flashing anything!

Always wipe data/factory first, then cache, the optionally dalvik in advanced menu for CWM. Dalvik cache is wiped when you wipe cache so its kinda like an extra step. I have ALWAYS wiped all three everytime I flash a new rom, and have almost never had an issue over several devices and hundreds of flashes.

Good Luck, and NOTHING is more IMPORTANT than READING and internally questioning everything.

Got my note round 2 in the afternoon and had it flashed and up with apps on it by 3:30...just make sure to download the files you want to your computer ahead of time. Plan it out you know..like write a list out of each thing your gonna do and then do it. Then before you know it you'll download right from xda's app on your phone and flashing on the spot!! Good flashing and have fun!

Can't go wrong with the 'Emily' ROM. It's rock solid and the one I go back to when the still not quite stable ICS ROMs flake out.

The hybrid is really fun but takes some patience and reading to get things working. Depending on what you're setting up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Crey23:
For me it seems to be the widgets that are messing everything up....I have been used TW, LPPro, ADW EX, Go, and Holo (Currently running). What is that when I load tha screens with the respective widgets, it slows down quite a bit.

I started on TW, and quite frankly is the zippiest of all, but the dock customization, or lack there of, really made the use of this a bit frustrating.

I then Moved to Go, and without even applying widget, it was brutally slow. I am a big fan of Go, had in previous phone, and is what my wife's Rhyme runs on (She loves it!!!)

LP pro didn't seem up to snuff with these others. I was the first launcher I bought 2 years ago, and well it just didn't seem to add anything new. I will try it again.

Just installed Holo, because having ran ICS on my previous device, I like the APEX launcher feel and look. Holo gives you that on an GB OS. It was very fast when no widgets were applied, but it seems to slow down once loaded. When I try to do preview is where you can really see the strain.

By the way the Widgets I am using are:

- Any Do App

- APW series (these seem to be the heavy ones)

- Pure Calendar

That's it for now....

Any ideas?

Now we just need to see someone with the GS3 to do that. I'm curios of how it would hold if it were dropped or thrown in the air, considering the whole front of the device has a thinner version of GG.
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
I believe these test, while they may be considered wasteful by some, are useful. Its pretty stressful walking around with half a grands worth of phone in your pocket constantly fearing that its gonna get scratched or the screen is gonna get damaged or its gonna slip out your hand in the street or the wind will catch it while you are reading something.

I feel its better to know roughly how well these devices stand up to damage so that we dont need to unduely stress about looking after them. I have enough stress in my life already.

[Sony Tablet S] socialx:
can it read pdf? i found it can read epub with good interface but not pdf.

BTW, I tried officsuite pro+ , polaris office , ezpdf and adobe reader.

I found that the interface of both adobe reader and polaris office are good.

the ezpdf is a bit buggy when you accidentically add some annotations to the pdf.

If the pdf file is quite large , say 1xxMB with both text and image, the polaris office loads quite fast and ezpdf is so-so.

The UI of ezpdf is a bit old and you really need some time to learn it. Once you learn the way ezPDF use, you may feel it's good. Personally i don't like it too much even i bought it.

I WANT A GOOD PDF READER AS THE EBOOK READER TOO!!
[Sony Tablet S] intellix:
Adobe Reader is pretty good. And now you can add even your own notes (even hand written notes) within the PDF makes it quite good. The Adobe Reader works really fast if you are dealing with big sized PDFs e.g. I had a scanned copy of a book which was like 200MB. While the other readers struggled, the Adobe Reader was faster and was of a better performance.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xopito_cc:
Hello,

I am using a X10 Mini Pro (u20i). I am having problems with my mobile earphone, and since I checked forums and asked SE technical service and they told me that I had to send it because it was a hardware problem.

My mobile is still in the period of warranty, but I rooted it, installed recovery, unlocked bootloader and installed a kernel.

I have SEUS, and I know that I can "repair" my phone to return it to fabric settings, like taking out the root or the kernel.

The problem comes with the bootloader. I know there is an option to relock the bootloader, but I haven't still considered that option.

I was wondering if somebody could tell me if with the use of SEUS the bootloader gets locked again,

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you do a repair with SEUS or PC Companion it will flash the original kernel and rom, but it won't touch your bootloader.

You have to relock that yourself.

[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
I'm not sure, but with certain displays no specific color of wallpaper with give it better battery life

The rezound may fall under that category
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
This ^^^ is true. LCD screens use power anyway, no matter what color is displayed. LED, however, will save power because it only uses power to display colors, and black is not a color on LED, it's just off.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, not gonna save battery.

It might, maybe, kinda, make a difference in a totally imperceptible way on an AMOLED display.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
False?

LED screens are currently just LCD screens with LED backlights. They work the same.

Plasma displays use no power showing black along with OLED.

I think you are mixing up LED and OLED.
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
LCD uses more power with a black wallpaper because it has to force it black. White will save battery

LED is an LCD screen backlit by LED lights.
