Original from Keltek from the OP... Thanks man!
[LG Optimus 2x] Keltek:
Not possible. Only if animation in landscape.
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:

[LG Optimus 2x] Keltek:
Landscape version up and running. See the OP... and is now my default boot animation :)

... and now with preview, thank you Paki0402
[LG Optimus 2x] pradhyu69:
I'm looking for bootani. Which shows only nvidia
[LG Optimus 2x] hgpot:
I think that that LG Version looks great! I have the Atrix so I'm anxiously awaiting what to expect from a Motorola variant from you. Keep up the good work!

Also, in 540x960 would be fantastic, if you could.

[General Questions and Answers] wmsincewince:
Hi everyone,

I'm a longtime lurker in these forums, and I'd love some advice on phone options.

I'm a Verizon Wireless customer, and for some specific reasons, have to stay that way.

My current phone is a Droid 2 Global. It's my first Android device. Previously, I had Windows Mobile, for phones and PDAs, dating all the way back to when it was called Windows CE.

I'm happy-ish with Android, and plan on staying with Android for now, but it's time to upgrade, and I'd like to do it while I can still stay on my grandfathered unlimited data plan (so anytime between now and the next 3-4 months).

I'd like to get a phone I'll be happy with for the next 2 years, so I'd like to have some future-facing features, like high resolution and NFC, in addition to enough RAM to run today's software and tomorrow's.

My current phone, the D2G, running the stock rom and the .629 update, is slow like a turtle moving through molasses. It once wasn't this way, and it's not overloaded with apps, but it's a situation I'd like to avoid in the future.

So, in my next phone, I'm looking for the following, and I can't seem to find a phone that has all of these features:

-removable, easily replaceable battery (so I can carry around more than one)

-global (GSM/HSPA) capability

-physical keyboard

-1 GB RAM or more

-dual core processor (or better)

-4G LTE

-ICS + moderately decent upgrade schedule for future releases

-NFC

-1280x720 screen

No phone matches all of these. The three phones that come closest are:

1. HTC Rezound: no physical keyboard or NFC

2. Samsung Galaxy Nexus: no physical keyboard or global capability

3. Droid 4: non-removable battery, no NFC, no 1280x720 screen

I travel internationally a couple of times a year, but not more frequently, so I suppose that I could just keep my current phone (the D2G, which is SIM-unlocked) for world-roaming purposes, and use it when I travel.

I've had a physical keyboard for a long time - my last 5 phones have had one, and I type much faster on it. I could give it up, but don't really want to.

I feel like NFC is a serious want-to-have, not for today, but for 12 months from now, when it'll be convenient and more common.

I want the higher resolution 1280x720 screen. I don't HAVE to have it, but when buying a phone for 2 years, it seems like it'd be foolish not to get it.

The other thing that tempts me is that it seems like we have phones with quad-core processors just around the corner - is it worth waiting a few more months to get one? My single core D2G was the fastest phone out there when I got it about two years ago, and now it's one of the absolute slowest - does it make sense to go dual core when quad cores are here?

---

Anyway, that's what I am thinking about. Can anyone provide some guidance?

Should I just bite the bullet and get the Galaxy Nexus, and travel globally with my slow-as-molasses D2G? Or should I saddle up with the Droid 4 and its sad screen, forget about replacing the battery, and live near a charger at all times? Or maybe just wait until something cooler comes out from around the corner?
[General Questions and Answers] wmsincewince:
Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller?
[General Questions and Answers] TJBunch1228:
Wait a couple weeks for the S3 and either use your D2G for global use, or buy an incredible 2 or Droid 3 for global use on the cheap. Physical keyboard is worthless now, as screen sizes coupled with amazing auto correct software make touchscreen keyboards a breeze and an obvious choice.
[General Questions and Answers] wmsincewince:
Would you take the SIII over the Galaxy Nexus?

Are the non-Nexus Samsungs much harder to root?
[General Questions and Answers] TJBunch1228:
I honestly love the Nexus. It's sexy and snappy. I bought one for my wife. I don't think the SIII will be harder to root than the Nexus. Your call really. The SIII will be newer and the "it" phone for a while, but the Nexus is still very capable and is gonna be way cheaper right now. You can probably get a Nexus for about $100 on contract as long as you avoid corporate Verizon stores. They will rape you on price and give you **** service. Check Costco or Best Buy in your area. They'll be cheaper on both devices than a Verizon store.
[General Questions and Answers] dazza9075:
one thing I would say about the resolution is that its a bit of a marketing ploy.

once you start getting above WVGA resolutions unless you perch the device on your nose its quite hard to tell the difference.

Whats more important is actually the screen tech, I can promise you that a decent panel at a lower res will look a lot better than a cheap or average panel with a high res.

Will time make a difference? nope, not unless you become very short sighted and actually have the device on the end of your nose :)

To be honest id agree with you on the NFC thing, if your set on keeping it for a few years it would be worth it, but that's a relatively newish tech hitting the markets, might be worth holding back a few months until Q3 12 to see whats in the pipe line. A lot more NFC devices will be coming out, one of them is bound to tick more of your boxes....

just a thought.
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Nexus is always a good bet...
[General Questions and Answers] rsjc741:
Coming from Sprint, I don't really know about Verizon's phones..

However,

Physical Keyboards are a dying breed. Most of these phones will be bulky and have bigger batteries or shorter battery life.

Currently typing this on my Galaxy Nexus, I highly recommended this phone.

Yes, there are only soft buttons (sans the power and volume), but its definitely future tech.

Amazing resolution (the screen has mfc defects, but they're often overlooked)

LTE, HSPA, GSM

And I do believe it has a place for your SIM card (Sprint doesn't use sim cards, so I'm not sure)

The phones extremely thin, light battery, and has a nice feeling curved glass and battery cover.

Great battery life once you unlock it and flash a battery mod.

No complaints here

I have been flashing roms and soft bricking my phone since the day i brought it but after installing the ICS LPY stock rom i seem to have soft bricked my phone and now i am getting boot loops with no way to recover!

How i bricked my phone:

1. I flashed the stock rom using odin

2. lost my root and cwm

3.regained root by following dr ketan's post

4. after that i flashed abyssnote kernel so that i can full wipe and flash rocket rom

5. When i tried to full wipe it got stuck ..after half an hour i removed the battery

6. after that no matter how many roms i flashed through odin i always get bootloops!

Any help will be appreciated guys!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tknguyencsu:
I found the following information on one of the thread:

Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix

________________________________________

Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....

Just put the battery in then do following.

1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...

2. release then press volume up...

Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light

it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect

3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back

into phone this will/should resume visual display.

I have attached necessary files to resume

Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER

4. Wait 10 seconds.. Remove Battery Then Boot Back into Bootloader following steps 1&2

5. finally flash Stock Rom to resume the whole phone to original state.

Hope That Helps......

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arcatarc:
Ok, now understand what is your problem:when you add file in the apk with winrar use no compression, or better recreate the apk as zip archive without compression, i use this metod, then is better if you zipalign it.

if you wanna edit .9.png you need to extract it, decompile it using 9patch first. then you can edit it and recompile back.

Here is the problem....

Does any one know the trick for recompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk [4.1.B.0.587]?

I used apktool to decompile this apk and edited styles.xml and dimen.xml to sync some of the styles to framework-res.apk.

but when tried recompiling it failed saying "aapt" stoped working. i thought it could be due to corrupted *9*.png files.

but it doesnt seems to be as i included those *9*.png files part of another apk and just re-compiled, it worked.

then i deleted public.xml file from values folder and attempted an recompile, it worked.

but the signed apk from apktool didnt work, when it was loaded back. i do not know what do to after this.

if someone has an answer please help me out.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tan9890:
I've worked out a workaround for this..Its kinda funny..:P

If u wana edit any xml file, just edit it and put in in another apk. Any apk file that succesfully decompiles and recompiles..

There's a problem with semcgenericuxpres.apk, and it does not recompile with this aapt.exe..

so, u just add your modded xml from semcgenericuxpres to any other recompilable apk..

Recompile that other apk

and now open that apk with winrar

extract your compiled xml from that apk

Add it to the original semcgenericuxpres.

It works..:D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Atooraya:
I just went into the Sprint store today, traded in my OG Evo, and paid $155 for the phone, out the door.

However, while I was in there, they were pushing the Beats headphones a bit. Especially because the sound quality is supposed to be "amazing" using the headphones.

I decided not to grab them, but the iPhone comes with the headphones that you can also use to talk to people on the phone with. Anyone find anything similar, that aren't $100?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Only $100 for Beats-branded headphones? It's a fire sale!

Kudos to you on not paying about 90% mark-up for the label. (Don't they also sport a Monster logo for the cable?)

Are you looking for headphones with a mic built-in?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Atooraya:
I just bought those too :D They're $57 on Amazon.

I just wanted headphones that I could use when I'm riding my bicycle around and need to make a call. I have one bud in my ear, and other open so I can hear around me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Yes. Those I can get behind. Klipsch, Sennheiser, maybe even Shure. Do those S4i's work with the LTE? I thought that sometimes products intended for Apple devices have the contacts switched around on the TRRS tips.

What I'd like is a pair of exercise-resistant bluetooth headphones. I know Jabra has some, I'm still debating those vs. some lower-cost options. Just something solid that I can wear running to hear my music and audio cues, and that I could use as a hands-free headset. But I suppose that's another topic.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
I have a pair of the Beats Tour earbuds with the in-line mic. I also own a pair of the S4i Klipsch. Quick review. The Beats sound fine when paired with a device that has the Beats audio software. They sound great when plugged into the Evo4GLTE. Now take same pair of Beats and plug into my iPod Touch and/or Classic and they sound like garbage. Regardless of what I have the iPod's EQ set to. Now the S4i's sound awesome when plugged into any of the devices. Only downside is the in-line mic isn't all that great. People always complain of excessive background noise, even when I'm in a quiet place. The mic on the Beats does a better job of blocking the outside noises & isolating your voice while on a call. The Beats are wayyyyy over priced and over hyped IMO. Now I have listened to a pair of the Beats Detox and they sounded good but I really don't have any other over-the-ear headphones to compare them too. I would hope with a $500 price tag they would be great.

I've had every version of these and love them. They are sweat resistant.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004BHCSQC
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
See, now I feel bad, because I was just going to make a crack about how the Beats products are the new SkullCandy's. Just re-branded products with fancy colors. I met somebody with a pair of SkullCandy headphones that were exactly like my Sony headphones, just with Jamaican coloration versus my silver and black style. At least they sounded alright (mine were better, IMHO, for some reason) but they cost twice as much as mine did.

Anyway. It would be cool if there was a way to force the LTE's ambient mic to stay on during a headset call, so it could cancel out ambient noise the same way the onboard voice mic does. I have no idea if that would work or not.
