[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Just a full clarification.

RAM is space, not speed. If you have issues running a lot of apps at once causing a reboot, you need more RAM.

CPU is speed but the quad core can be even slower and not even be utilized properly until Jelly Bean or later.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Maybe the confusion comes from the old Windows tip of adding RAM to increase speed because if there was not enough RAM it would make very slow swap files on the hard drive. In Android what will happen is the system will make a decision which app hasn't been used in awhile and close it to make room for what you want to open. This is not a major slow down or lag but a minor one.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
But correct me if I'm wrong, but RAM will make things smoother though, correct? If you have a lot of apps running, it will not have as much lag and more powerful games with be able to run smoother. Its not speed, but fluidity right?

[Epic 4G General] Ceelos09:
I see lots of talk about RAM, dual core Krait, and quad core exynos.

Why haven't GPU's come out into discussion yet?

I heard the we'll be sporting an Adreno GPU, while the International variant gets a nicer Mali 400. How will that put us in terms of heavy intensive 3D/HD gameplay compared to the Mali 400?

Just curious...
[Epic 4G General] cj2thhed:
In a real phone scenario? Wouldn't heat be a factor? Processor speed is crap on a hot phone. Battery life is crap on a hot phone. Processors heat up quick under heavy use, GPU'S heat up under heavy use. RAM may be the coolest way to go.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Until a game comes out that actually stresses LAST years gpus, its not really an issue.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Wow wtf i thought the whole reason the s4 was gonna be better than the quad core a9 exynos was because it was built on a15 but its actually built on a7.
[Epic 4G General] samdsox:
its built on an a7? I was sure it was more like a15...
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
no. We are not using windows... Android clears ram when it is full. It causes less redraws but we don't use a spinning disk nor have a pagefile.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yes I am aware. Just clarifying for other users where the confusion of more RAM equals more speed.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
So then what exactly is the benefit of having more ram? What do you mean by less redraws?

[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
The launcher has the same rights as any other app under the Android system. The task killer can kill the launcher, which causes it to redraw and "lag" when you hit the home button when coming back from a large app.

Of course, with the new graphics rendering every app uses an additional 10 megs.

For all intents and purposes, 1GB is plenty for ICS and probably for Jellybean. The 2GB is more useful for hobbyist hacking, and maybe if Ubuntu for Android ever gets ported.

[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
So the guy at crapbuy today insisted the gs3 will have the quad core. This according to some memo he had just read at work.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
He was mistaken. The international version is quad core because it has no LTE.
[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
That's what I thought. One of the reasons I rarely buy anything from there. Employees don't seem to know what they're talking about.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Sprint employees were telling Epic Touch owners that their phone was upgradeable to LTE so now where you gonna get your phone? LOL.
[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
That's pretty funny. Only reason I did the best buy route is I heard there was no activation fee plus the sprint store by me usually has a 30-60 minute wait.
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
Sprint employee ineptitude is part of the reason for why I got into rooting and developing in the first place. When I bought my epics, they came with the original stock firmware. Meaning, at the time, that they were two OTA updates behind. THAT meant that I had to receive those before I could receive the OTA for Froyo, but they weren't pushing the old ones anymore so I was stuck. I took the phones into my local Sprint store, and the 'tech' employees were convinced that the Epic had no Froyo update coming... when their in-store phones were already on EB13 Froyo.

It was then that I rooted, downloaded the update, and pushed it myself. Since then, the rest is history!

I've been to several Sprint stores since then, and only found one employee who knew as much about their products as I did. That was in Virginia. I'm not saying T-mobile, Verizon, or AT&T customer service is anymore useful. It's not. They all suck. And NEVER take the word of a Best Buy mobile phone salesman. If it means a sale, they'll try to convince you that it can turn water into wine!

Off-Topic Edit (Again): I'll still take the Dual-Core and 2GB ram. I'm confident in the battery and performance advantages.
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
One of the accessories I'm looking forward to buy is the wireless charging :) I'm glad is back because I loved that from the pre.
[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
I still miss my pre. WebOS was the best. I hated my epic until I rooted it. CM9 and AOKP have made me love my epic but I do still think webos is the greatest.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
LG Eclipse has 2Gb of Ram and is Quad Core @ 1.5GHz, 16Gb Built in, 4.67" Screen 720x1280, BT 4.0, Etc... S4 too.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Google the s4 then look at the wiki. It's only built on a7 with a15 instruction sets.
[Epic 4G General] jimmarako:
Another former Pre owner here. I do miss webOS. Is CM9 more like webOS? I hear you can swipe notifications away. Google hired the lead webOS designer over a year ago and now they are picking up a chunk of the webOS "Enoy" team from HP. Maybe by Keylime Pie a webOS Android merger will occur.

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
seriously swipe away notifications have been on android since Gingerbread.

IMHO WebOS is old and Outdated even as of last year SAM who used to be on XDA TV when XDA TV was good even said that too. LOL

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Ca1ne is a person not a what. When i said Ca1ne brought swipe away to TPR 2.2 thought it was obvious it was a username.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Sorry not to me i didn't understood that part but his part wasn't needed when i simply was just stating it already existed is all.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
It only existed in CM7 as far as I know. It was never in any TW ROM until just recently...like yesterday.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Well that's a fail why wasn't it taken from CM7 from other Devs so that they could have it back then just doesn't make sense.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Maybe we didn't have Ca1ne then and no one else was interested enough to look into it. And yes I agree the other thing was unnecessary.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
It makes sense if you know enough about programming to understand that the devs can't "just take it" from another rom - you say that as if it was as simple as gluing a Ford logo on the front of a Dodge, when it would be more like disassembling the Ford engine to incorporate the cam shaft from the Dodge, while blindfolded.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
You really know.... nothing of what you are talking about.
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
Well we're totally off-topic now... but...

I noticed this feature and I've been toying with it in my theme since yesterday. But is it just me, or is it WAY too touchy? If you don't drag it PERFECTLY across, the notification goes back instead of clearing, or worse, it opens. :confused:
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
I didn't literally mean mean it like that. Seriosuly C'Mon

And in CM7 it isn't too touchy. it was perfect just like it is in ICS
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
Hey, hey now. No arguing. But I have incorporated the code myself now, and no, it was not a simple cut&paste port. Specific code lines have to be extracted and usually modified between OS's as different as CM and TouchWiz.

That said, I'm sure this feature worked fine in CM7, but I'm asking how it works in a Touchwiz rom. :p
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Then perhaps, instead of "Every dev here is a failure for taking so long on this," you meant to say, "Awesome! Thanks so much for porting this feature over! I had no clue that it was even possible until just now, what a pleasant surprise!"

Is that how you meant it? Because that would have been much more appropriate ;)
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Let me Re-Phrase this. CM7 already had this feature. And i Thought that most would of already ported it to TW based Roms. i guess not, so thats cool to see.

All i was stating earlier is that CM7 had this feature already is all. I personally dont use TW so i wouldn't care but for those who do care great for them.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I got what you were saying the first time. What I'm saying is that you wouldn't receive such a volatile backlash from so many users if you would learn a better way to say things - it always seems to take you more than three attempts at re-wording before you can summarize your thoughts in a way that does not include some form of insult. I'm trying to help you out here, for your sake as much as for everyone you have insulted (accidentally or otherwise).
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
If you don't use TW and admit that you don't care for TW, why answer a specific question meant for people using TW and the swipe away mod?

Then again, I suppose its fun to waste peoples time.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Because i like to help others "UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE" (Not You But In General) geez what has the World come to? Its called being nice and having courtesy.

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be a brand new Galaxy note Owner soon, out of box fresh stock from ATT...

I've "flashed" roms i guess before on several Android devices... i'm still not 100% in tune with all the LINGO everyone uses these days.. and I gotta say it's become more and more confusing as days go by.. so it's hard to determine and understand "whats out there" available...

Anywho.. to the reason for my post,

I'm pretty sure i'm NOT going to be happy with the stock experience provided by samsung and also all the BLOATWARE...

What's the best rom out there for me to get that would be the closest to stock Ice Cream sandwich? the fastest and smoothest, and also has the easiest process to Root and Rom into?

Any help anyone can provide would be MUCH Appreciated. =)

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
If it is fresh from ATT it probably isn't an international model. So you need to go to the Galaxy Note ATT version forum on XDA.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrob2k:
It takes time and research to safely jump into the root/flash pool. I've been doing it for a couple of years and still i'm confused by a lot of the lingo these rom developers use, but they are mostly pretty good about explaining the rom, and safe practices in the posts so you will pick up on it.

You should probably ask this question in the AT&T note section. The international note has a different chip set so as far as i understand the roms won't be interchangable. http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1513

Some roms are on multiple devices so i can recommend some of the big ones. CM9 is my favorite, its coming along nicely and has a good amount of customization. Kang is also pretty good and has more customization than Cm9. those are probably the two biggest roms that are close to ICS AOSP (which i'm assuming you mean by stock rather than touchwiz stock). I havent received my note (N7000) yet so i havent been able to try these out, but i hear ya lose your SPen integration on these roms. I ran CM9 on the Galaxy Nexus from day one.

Hope i helped

i want to know can i install a gb bootloader on a stock rom for vibrant because i want to install a rom and to avoid colors it was mentioned there
[General Questions and Answers] Woody:
Yes you can.

You just need to get them and flash them through Odin. The thread is here. I just happened to be cruising through this forum at this minute and saw this. You can ask something like this in the Vibrant Q&A section, but this is a fundemental type question and any search in the Vibrant forums will give you the answer.

You are probably going to be flashing an ICS ROM and the GB bl's are to get rid of the "Rainbows", correct? If that is the case, it has been shown that this step should no longer be needed as the ICS builds are far from the Beta stages at this point and those "Rainbows" have been solved.

If you have anymore ICS questions, (if that is what the ROM is that you are going to flash), you can check out the guide in my signature and it should answer all you need. Hardest part is finding the files- just an fyi. If you are going to be flashing a CM7 ROM as your daily driver, then yes you'll need the GB bl's
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Hey gang,

Long time no see. Just made the leap to the One X and have a few questions. Here the first...

When receiving an incoming call, the screen could be unlocked, or it could be locked.

If it's unlocked, there doesn't seem to be an option to reject a call and send the default SMS to the caller - either with one click, or a two (actually THREE)-step process as below.

If it's locked, you're offered the multi-step process of dragging the reject icon into the lock ring, then the UI offers you the send text option that, when selected, doesn't just send the default reject SMS, but rather asks you to pick one from your quick text list, then send it. It doesn't even default to your like, default...?

Weird thing is, there's a place to define the text for your default call reject SMS in the phone settings.

So. Where am I going wrong?

A little while ago my battery ran out on my Xperia Play and nothing has really worked since then.

1. Backlight does not work, at all.

2. The phone does not detect the batter (though I am able to charge it). I have that 'no battery' indicator on the top of my screen at all times. I have bought a new battery, no change. If I keep it plugged in with/without battery nothing changes.

3. Screen is really laggy now. I have to try to swipe the screen like 18 times before it actually goes through and unlocks. When I try to type, the keys I press get held so all sorts of funny accents are all over the place.

Its not usable currently.

Note: If I use the arrow keys to navigate the menus, it works fine.

When I tried to take the phone apart I managed to break the LCD screen. Replaced that and now I'm back where I started.

Anything I can do? Replace the digitizer?
