[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayaxsd:
Need help, I bricked my Defy Green lense.

Some how after trying to flash a miui rom, it went to bootloader after I pressed the "reboot device now" in the clockworkmod recovery. So I tried to flash my sbf, but in the reboot, the phone just turned off, an haven't been able to turn it on, I already tried the Mc Giver method to charge the phone, (as it worked before) but the phone does nothing,

Any help would be thanked...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScYcS:
Use RSDLite and an original SBF to flash it back to normal operation.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayaxsd:
I was flashing the original SBF with RSD Lite, right after, during the reboot, it turned it self off, an from then on, I haven't been able to Even Turn It On, it shows no activity what so ever...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScYcS:
Try it again maybe with a different SBF and flash it again with RSDLite?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayaxsd:
Thanks but I can't even get it to the bootloader screen, that's why I thought it didn't have battery and tried to charge it the normal way, an since nothing happened, I tried the McGiver way an it didn't work either...

Do you guys feel the ICS UI frustrated between phone and tablet?

In tablet the top bar is gone and the drop-down menu is moved to the down-right side.

Does anyone like this design?

The UI experience is just different in the same OS. That's pretty weird.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] overclockxp:
Is there something about your current phone that makes you want to switch?

My Maxx locks up, has bad wifi reception, and overheats. Whereas I loved the phone when I first got it now I miss my old HTC phones when I had Sprint.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bsweetness:
Your experience with the MAXX is the exact opposite of mine, and the opposite of most users around here. The MAXX is the most stable Android phone I've ever had. I've had over 20 smartphones phones in the past four years, and the MAXX easily takes first place as the best of the bunch. The Rezound is a great device too, and I really liked it for the month that I had it. But the MAXX is just better overall in my opinion.

That's a good price for a MAXX off-contract. As for the value of the Rezound, a quick search of the Wanting to Sell forum in the Marketplace here on XDA shows that Rezounds are going for a little less than that these days, in the $275 - $300 range. You may be able to get a little more elsewhere. Either way, the resale value of the Rezound isn't far off the price of the MAXX that you're looking at.

I have read a lot of the GN threads and have searched but cannot find an answer to the following .

We are starting to see the appearance of several different OPEN European ROMS ( Germany, Austria, Netherlands).

1 : Each of these ROMS uses different CSC codes.

2 : The ROMS may or may not include different languages.

Apart from the two points that I have mentioned what other differences are to be fond amongst the various OPEN ROMS.

Is there any real advantage to selecting the ROM that corresponds to your CSC code.

For info : I have a Swiss CSC ( AUT) and have been using the Open German ( LPY) ROM without any problems. I wont Root or Full Wipe until I have the official AUT ROM, just in case......

[HTC One X] farasatyarkhan:
Hey guys !

I got my HTC One X a week ago and preferred it over the Galaxy SIII after thinking alot and I'm glad to make the decision. I used it for a week and no issues uptill now. Multi-tasking is also great, maybe because I the middle east version. I just found that my phone was heating alot twice during this week but not so often. I think all smartphones heat up these days, having owned the iPhone 4 and 4s, Galaxy SII and HTC Sensation, all of them heated just like this one, so I don't take it as much of big deal. I think the phone is great and HTC has improved their sense skin alot and they also have a different sound set on this version. The camera is great. The best of all, the screen, it's GORGEOUS. Now for some pictures. Bought a cover and screen protector along with the phone and the pictures on the phone are with the protector ! Mine is the Taiwanese version. :)

Thanks Guys ^ I don't why people create a hype about all the issues and bugs. I didn't face any kind of problem with my phone, not even software issues. I was very scared before getting this phone because of all the hype and criticism, obviously as I'm throwing out alot of cash for it, but then I thought there are always rumours and hypes created for every product that is and was and finally bought this phone on my birthday ! and I must say I'm not regretting it. And I just love the build quality and design :D

And yes, I was gonna get the black one but the white finish of the polycarbonate on this phone is amazing !

To be fair when the phone 1st came out there was bugs in the original software, HTC have since addressed those with updates.

If you willing to root your phone there are options to reduced temperature of the Tegra chip from reducing voltage with custom kernel and disable 1 or 2 cores.

The One X is a great phone, enjoy.

There are many ways to root. U could use Matt's utility. Or use the Motofail method. Both of them work just fine. And u can always unroot, don't worry about that.

Do a search on here for droidRAZRutility that is Matt's program.

You will also need to install the drivers for the phone that you get by installing MotoHelper 2.1.40 Driver 5.5.0 (link can be found on this site aswell)

As for the hotspot, once your rooted use Wifi Tether from the android market.

It depends of the system version you are.

If 2.3.6 then use motofail

If ics its another methods

As the above shows our phones system and data partitions uses the yaffs2 filesystem but is there a way to convert this to ext4? Many phones has done this "conversion" and there is said to be noticeable improvements. Eg. Galaxy Ace

Here is a short explanation of it

Quoted from http://leemn.wordpress.com/2011/01/...stem-to-ext4-and-upgrade-to-modaco-rom-beta1/

=========================================================

Ok here is a example!

(These file are from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1593925) A Galaxy Ace Rom

✔ Filesystem Are In EXT4 Format [ Best System Performance ]

In the update.zip of the Rom there is this file

mkfs.ext4

According to to the updater-script which controls what the recovery does when it flashes a rom, it does this to the above file

package_extract_file("mkfs.ext4", "/tmp/mkfs.ext4");

and later

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/mkfs.ext4");

=========================================================

If any of this makes sense to you please comment down below. Maybe we can port this to our phones :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MrCzAjNiK:
Is this do sth else with file or its just set perms?

Also can u provide links to roms with ext4 converted from yaffs as u say?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] miroslav_mm:
All phone with 512ROM chip have Yaffs filesystem. Phones with more than 512mb have EXT2/4

I can make little script for recovery and it format Yaffs to EXT4, but in real testing its no differences in performance. But I am not sure will be it stable or no. For me its not good idea.

Script will be look like that:

unmount("/system");

unmount("/data");

unmount("/cache");

format("ext4", ""MTD", "/dev/block/mtdblock4");

format("ext4", ""MTD", "/dev/block/mtdblock6");

format("ext4", ""MTD", "/dev/block/mtdblock1");
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
Its up to you :o the ace got 256 mb ram if im not wrong
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MrAndroid12:
With EXT4, there is no real performance increase.

The only thing you're notice is;

faster boot times

shorter launcher redraw time

No lag what so ever when internal storage runs low

Disadvantages;

File system needs to be converted back to yaffs2 before flashing a rom via recovery. If not, phone will get stuck on LG splash screen.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MrAndroid12:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] hmskrecik:
Yaffs is there for a reason. I don't know much about performance, single- or multithreaded, but yaffs takes care of flash wear while ext will happily write to the same blocks over and over again, shortening whole flash's life.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] miroslav_mm:
No! 278 its available RAM. Like 180mb on IceCreamSwift. Memory chip on ACE - 392mb!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] aspee:
I am not sure but this looks promising.

My friend have galaxy ace with that Rom and benchmark is high. and I have optimus one

anyway,

I believe we need to just edit and write

/system ext4 system

/cache ext4 cache

/data ext4 userdata

instead of

/system yaffs2 system

/cache yaffs2 cache

/data yaffs2 userdata

to recovery.fstab of device sources and Let it compile Rom and Recovery and flashing it will be the

Result. :)

you don't need to care about this because modern flash memories always have wear levelling technique to prevent early wear out. and even withtout this technique it will took years to completely make the flash unwritable. there's a special version of ext4 which does not have journals to reduce flash wear
