:confused:I am confused as to why its ok to ask a question such as "What is the best launcher out there?" but when its asked "What is the best ROM out there?", the thread gets reported and locked. They are both based off user opinion. I will not "report" the thread on the launchers because that is Dumb to me. People ask a question for answers. Could somebody please give a logical explanation for this? It's a forum. People are interested in topics. As long as its in the question section, I don't understand the problem with asking a question.....:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
i hear you..and im sorry to say ..my opinion is it depends on peoples moods in the forum sometimes..sometimes its a superiority complex (SOMETIMES) if you ask me..

if someone asks a question that i might be able to point them in the right direction, i will respond..if not i just move on to the next. idk homey ...ive been hanging around xda since my captivate and its very useful..

if people flame your thread or close it, dont take it to heart, just rephrase the question lol...

i use apex launcher..ROCKS.. nova is also badass

and the ROM i use is ICS objection, i love my new phone thanks to this rom its clean smooth and no issues for me.. if you go down for this post im going down wicha brah!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brandon440:
Thanks

Much appreciation. I am on the OnlyOne HYFR B4 ROM and currently no launcher just TouchWiz that comes with the ROM...I been here since my Droid Milestone from Alltel but never really got involved til my Droid X. Don't get me wrong, I love XDA and all the help that comes with it, just thought it was a little crazy that they instantly hated on my thread. I feel ALL people and ALL questions deserve a spot. I'm not really taking it to heart..just wish it would have been given a chance like the rest of some of these threads. Thanks though for the support on what I'm saying..

Ics=apex for options, and trebuchet for aosp feel, with few options, just fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Asking what the best ROM is, is not actually a bad question. However it gets asked way too much. A new member will pop the question when right underneath him is the same question already asked a few times. And of course as you mentioned, best is not the best for everyone.

But I would have to say the main reason is it isn't fair to rate and judge one XDA Dev's work over another Dev. They all have positives and yes some negatives. It's not like there are 100 ROMs listed. The first 2 pages of threads will tell all. The threads are rated and the number of responses are a good hint. And you will learn more by spending some time reading and searching yourself even if you only read the first and last few posts in a thread. You could ask that question and have 3 noobs recommend a ROM all because it looks cool and it may be the worst performing ROM ever.

The launchers are for the most part, finished work. And they are offsite Devs. Also there isn't a thread on XDA for every launcher like there are ROMs. And questions about launchers should only be asked in the apps and themes section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reinbeau:
Question answered, thread closed

The biggest problem with 'Best' ROM threads is that they usually descend into petty bickering, which is why they are reported and ultimately closed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] radioflyer.dp:
So far, slimrom has been my absolute favorite ics rom of all those I've tried...buuuuut, like many of you, one of the little things i've been scratching my head about is the boot animation. I honestly think it can be better. I can't even remember another rom in which i had to go to such extent as to make my own and learn how to install it in my phone. I can tell you from this early on, i don't like much customization on my phone. I'm in love with simply and clean minimalism.

Anyways, I'm already yapping too much so without further ado, i'll just post my version of slim's boot animation. :p

::Preview::

To install just follow these steps:

1. Download

2. Place on your internal memory (SD Card)

3. use your root explorer of taste such as Supermanager, Astro, or (my personal favorite) Solid Explorer.

4. copy the "bootanimation.zip" file and paste it to the system/media/ (this will replace the current boot animation so i suggest you make a backup copy in case anything goes wrong)

don't be shy and post comments and opinions below. i'm open to any suggestions ;)

P.S. if anyone wants a flashable of this animation, just request and i'll be willing to take a look at some tutorials to make it happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] slaphead20:
Nice work dude, lovely and smooth, a little bit dim, but otherwise great work:D going to link this on slim thread:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jst_tsj:
Yeah! that's really nice! :) but also on my opinion it's quite too dark... please make it brighter and it will be perfect! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dreamer94:
Veery nice.I liked it too much ...

We should talk about this with krarvind slaphead.Shouldn't we?

But he probably won't accept it :P he wants less than 100kb.But this is sooo soo cool :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] slaphead20:
No need to hassle K, so easy to instal boot animations, I view them as personal tweaks, not ROM tweaks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] radioflyer.dp:
glad you liked it!

thx all and i'm glad you liked it! i originally wanted to do something VERY subtle and therefore the dimness got played down, but if you'd like, i could get it up so it gets more noticeable. i honestly like the new slim stock animation, but i will be glad to keep on working on some on my own if there is enough demand ^_^

PS sorry for the long absence, i've been extreemly busy and a little sick lately but i'm picking up my usual speed again (slowly but surely) ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pikso:
here it is u can watch animation preview :)

IIx0 :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jst_tsj:
I actually like very much both animations, but if you coul release a version brighter I think I would rather stick with yours :-) thx again 4 your time :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cyber755:
As slaphead20 smooth and nice :) Good work !
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] radioflyer.dp:
Flattered ^_^

I'm flattered you guys liked it! i will be posting the new updated version later on today.

i'll keep you posted on more...i'm thinking of a new animation too ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] radioflyer.dp:
brightness update

up up and away!!! the brightness update is up so go get your kicks ;)...let me know how it works out and i'll be checking things more frequently so i can give you guys better "support" :cool:

I just got my xperia play a couple of days ago and I was reading around and found out that there are a bunch of them that end up losing their volume rockers. I just wanted to know does this happen to all of them? If so is there a way to prevent it from happening?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
I've used my play for almost a year and my volume buttons are still fine. But if you want to prevent, suggest you to use any app that controls all phone volume and create a widget on launcher then adjust from there.

You could also get a Trident case for your play. I'm using oneand it protects volume buttons very well
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d1zturbe3d:

okay so i take back all i said. mine just fell off today. it was because i was cleaning my Red Trident Aegis case, then all of a sudden I noticed an elongated weird piece of plastic on my bed.. had to think what that was and bang! my xperia play case! i actually laughed.. :D

will just pop it right back in, and trident aegis will handle everything :D

[LG Nitro HD] tolli84:
Are you trying to install the leaked rom or HO!NO!s flashable version of the leak?
[LG Nitro HD] aaki_rocker:
@tolli84 : he might be trying the leaked rom obviously !

ho!no! version is prerooted and busyboxed !

@queequegscoffin : the solution is over here !

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26465780&postcount=45
[LG Nitro HD] queequegscoffin:
Thanks!

Yeah stock leaked ICS. After root can I flash HO!NO! over leaked or does it take a unbricking like CM9?
[LG Nitro HD] aaki_rocker:
you'll have to unbrick as the ics leak (exe) will wipe your cwm partition and the leak ics doesnt have a working cwm atm !

so after installing the leak, if you wish to go back, unbrick the phone, and if you want ics leak again, you can flash ho!no!'s cwm flashable version !
[LG Nitro HD] exsumado:
nitro hd ics leak

do you still have this file P930_UDT_v18f_04112012 the ics leak, my phone wont unbrink from s damaged bootloader restart at 1% and display secure booting error cause boot certification verify enter fastboot enter fastboot long time no see from my reseach I need that file to revive then with a not so damaged bootloader try unbrick again but that file is lost all link are dead and is nowhere to be found, I thouhg you migth still have it, if so , would you be able to upload it somewhere
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dsmas:
In my small small experience, All Stock Roms (as listed by dr.ketan, somewhere else in this forum) after flashing thru PCOdin are safe for Factory Reset/Wipe data and Wipe Cache Partition. Only after that Abyss Kernel should be flashed. However after flashing leaked ICS Roms thru CWM should not be Factory Res/Wipe Data and Wipe Cache Partition. Please correct me whatsoever, if am wrong and suggest. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rilpromen:
You can "Factory Res/Wipe Data and Wipe Cache Partition." on ICS ROMS if you first flash the abyss kernel. DON'T EVER factory reset/wipe on stock kernels.

Also why would you flash leaked ics roms when Samsung released OFFICIAL roms?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
wiping on Stock ICS kernel can be fatal to your phone ,be very careful ,flash the latest franco kernel ,or speed mode kernel as they are safe to wipe from and can function perfectly with ICS ROMs from samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Att.Fan1982:
So on franco's kernel we can wipe, backup, restore, etc as we normally would using cwm?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dsmas:
I think after rooting, No Factory reset. By the way what is the thump rule? When to Factory reset and when we should not?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
There's no rule as such.

Use safe kernel and do whatever you please, just make sure you are on safe kernel when you play with recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
on latest franco and speed mode kernel ,and pretty much any kernel that has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled ,it's safe to do what ever you want

just make sure you are on such a safe kernel first ,people have bricked because they thought they were on a safe kernel when in fact they weren't.

thumb rule is to be on a safe kernel ,and then do what ever you want.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bozz5384:
I Know this isn't what you are asking, but I can tell you I *DO NOT* have all the issues you mentioned with a different flavor ICS ROM. I'm running gedeROM and the only items I get is:

- Random wifi disconnects when waking back up. A simple switching of the wifi on/off fixes it every time

- Charging state shows incorrectly, but it charges

Everything else seems to work pretty perfectly. You might consider giving it a try.

Just reboot the phone (or pull battery if you HAVE to). Put back into Download mode. Connect your phone to PC with Odin. Put the tar file in PDA section. And try flashing. Make sure the cable doesn't get unplugged this time.

This "Enable USB audio", requesting by user to standardize USB audio on Android smartphones/tablets, is currently ranked 7 of 20,775 on google just in 6 month only...

Anyone can let me know which kernal or rom is support this feature well ??

so that i can use my DAC device on s2 just like apple product

(known ;redpill kernal...)
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
No SGS2 kernels support it. And I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for one. Very unlikely to happen.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Try out redpill with Hyperdroid Androidmeda to see if it works for you... Doubt it will though.

Could you please explain a bit more WHY it is unlikely to happen? I would be thrilled to have such feature:)

[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
100 bucks says it doesn't work. Better devs than that guy have had a look at it & gone 'Nup".

You won't see this on SGS2 given development is very much mature (I.E closer to being no more development than development just starting) for that phone with a new model out & devs beginning to move on.

Only way you might get it is if you either code it yourself or a dev who personally wants to use this feature puts himself thru the crap of coding it.
[Galaxy S II General] slitch:
Well the sgs3 supports it en a lot of developers have succeeded in running it on other devices such as the archos 9 tablet.

Would it realy be that hard to implement the usb sound driver files into a kernel and rom?

Isnt it a basic alsa driver?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
HELP me guys, today i checked galaxy s3 in a store here and it was fast as hell compared to Note. i am literally so so worried to sell my note for S3 but the only reason is small hiccups that are there in Note! i am 1000000% satisfied with Note but the only reason i m selling is the small hiccups and thats it!

well, i just wanted to know what is the selling price of used Note in your country? i bought my 16Gb White Note on 24th March 2012 for US $605 or UK 392 Pounds, or Euros 456.

now this store here is ready take my Note for $ 410 or UK 266 Pounds or Euros 309.

what do u say is this price ok for my 2 months used Note? i know this is not a fair deal to sell Note, but Hell yes i will come back to Note 2 if it has Exynos 5250!

but for now i am selling my note. is this price ok for my 2 months note? pls guys do reply me soon and sincerely! i m really tensed!

thank u all in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chintamanijaipuri:
If you managed to get $450 then it will be good deal.

But if I were you then I should newer sell my 2 months old note.

.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
I bought my Note brand new for $620 on eBay. Seems like to me, $410 is too low especially if it still looks brand new and you have never rooted or anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] becosemsaida:
Satisfied with the note.......small hick-ups........ Sell because of them???

Ok, if i'm satisfied with something i don't want to sell it, about the small hick-ups we have to consider that these problems appeared with ICS they will be sorted out.

If you think the S3 is without problems (or hick-ups) think again, there aren't devices without flaws or problems. Take a look at htc's they have a lot of problems and people send them to be repaired and htc is releasing updates to solve the software problems. Samsung isn't that fast but i think there will be a major update sooner or later for the note's problems.

Ok, you want to sell, take up the offer from the store and buy a S3. Better deal you can't get.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
And if you are talking about eMMc bug as the "small hiccups" just go to a safe kernel that our wonderful developers have made.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
it is brand new! i even have not removed the back side sticker! but i have rooted it, man u really making me stick to the Note! i am really so confused i love my Note as hell! its just perfect! but i really dont want to see the small software lacks that are there. i know S3 is not perfect but its better than Note at least in the smoothness. man i am confused! :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Are you on TouchWiz (Samsung rom)? If so, that's your problem!! :D

Go to ParanoidAndroid, Asylum, etc and play around with it! I promise you will want to stay! Lol.

But yeah, don't sell it to them for $410. Sell your Note on Ebay or something and then buy the S3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
i bought Note for $ 604.751 exactly on March 24! now price has dropped to $497! thats too much man! isn't it??!! i am an ACCA student and i work on part time. i dont earn a lot, i know the price of Note would decrease even more. there are only 4 things that made me think of selling my Note:

1- i really dont know how to draw and i dont use S-pen!

2- The Note after ICS feels even more Slower especially in UI experience!

3- Note's price is falling like rocket and its marked resale value is even lesser!

4- the camera on Note is a bit slow.

pls some one tell me should i give my phone for $ 410???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] poope:
The note is unique because of the S-pen. You just cannot do things the note can with another phone. If you don't use the pen, then the note is nothing special except for the large screen imho.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sonkameja:
Don't be so dam impulsive. List your phone on Ebay or Amazon as mint condition. You can get 500 to 575 easy.

Once people start low balling the value of the note then everyone else gets screwed when we have to sell ours

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
man i am currently on Rocket Rom v3. if u mean that i should install those AOSP kind of roms, yes i have used Stunner Rom. that was great but with no S pen.

i am really so confused :( i wish i had loads of money to keep my Note and also buy S3 at same time :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Who cares if the price drops? I plan on keeping the Note a while. I have a bad habit of buying phones a lot and I spend way too much money. I had an Atrix and it's still considered somewhat new and still good and I bought a Note.

You have to remember there is always going to be something better. Technology is rapidly expanding. Go again, buy a s3. But, realize this, more than likely, you WILL lose money. Its just part of the business.

If you don't like ICS, go back to Gingerbread. Or go to a CM9 ROM. I have no problem with the Camera on the Note. I use stock Camera on CM9 and Camera Zoom FX and it's fine.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

No, not AOSP. I'm talking about CM9. Look at Asylum or ParanoidAndroid.

Stunner is fantastic though.

Who cares about S pen? Lol. Mine stays in it's little hole almost all the time.

i wish i could sell on ebay. i am from pakistan and i cant sell on ebay. i have published my add on olx.com if u people might know that and btw resale price of samsung is very very very low in pakistan i really dont know what is the reason of this. the maximum i can get by selling my note other than this store is $ 365. thats maximum!

That's pretty dumb though, lol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
i dont want to sell my Note :( but i would lose a lot if i keep it now. its price is dropping. i cant afford that. i am not sure yet to sell it. but i will decide that tomorrow. i wish i am get millions of $ by tonight by some miracle! so that i can keep my note and s3 as well!
