My View for this thread

@Jason-EX

: This thread is regarding

sharing of Own experience

of all ROMs which one may've used.

@stubborn_d0nkey

: You are right.

:::Purpose of this thread:::​

1) To know all pros and cons at one place.

2) It is kinda difficult to conclude from reading all posts from a specific ROM which errors are there, how one and his G3 feels about it.

3) Other threads get jumbled and cluttered by questions of members and their queries.

:::My Intention:::​

I want to try other ROMs(gonna be on vacation now!:D), but when I see Not Working list: May be more, some FCs... I and every member gets confused what all it have and not.

:::Rules of this thread:::​

1) Only reviews should be posted.

2) No queries and questions regarding any thing (do post and ask in specific thread).

3) No error and bug reporting.

4) Don't make any post which may humiliate others.

:::IMP:::​

All ROMs are great.

ROMs' usability depends upon personal use (such as Testing, give a try, daily use, etc).

However if MOD finds this thread to be unnecessary or posted in wrong section, he can Delete or Move thread. I don't mind (no offence!). MOD can do what he feels right.:)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason-EX:
ok bro, but you should post this in the general section cause this is not a question :P and btw, that thread is also about sharing experience dude!

Galaxy S3 and Ad-hoc on a PC

Hi all,

Unless I haven't searched very well, which is unlikely, I haven't found how to use a galaxy S3 with ad-hoc on a pc. I have tried a galaxy S2 wpa_supplicant but with no success.

Do any one have an idea of how to do ?

Thx in dvance
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAMGDroidFan:
Wrong post

Well this isn't not the place to ask. :(:o

Btw, u can try Virtual Router on your laptop and can access PC's internet connection via WiFi from ur phone.

Let me know.

I've been using it for a long period, works nice...:)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbenm:
Thanks for your answer.

Sorry, it was my first post in xda forum...

I'm using Linux so I can't use Virtual Router. Ans I can't use my laptop as an AP cause it uses an Intel 3945ABG chip. The only way for me to have a wifi access is ad-hoc. I've been using it with an iphone, I didn't imagine one second it could be a problem with Android.

Thankx again
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allspark2020:
I don't think a thread of this kind is of some help

I have observed in g3 community that all the people have different opinions of various roms and hence most of the reviews won't be transparent

The second thing is that roms get updated frequently but the reviews won't

The third thing is that the reviews are posted as replies and most of them well be seperated by other off topic posts like mine :D and all above ones so it is difficult for those looking for the best ROM
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAMGDroidFan:
Give a Try

Okay, well let's see what happens....

I'll check for half a month about the response and then I'll decide what to do...:cool:
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allspark2020:
Try giving a thought for my second and third opinions like contacting moderator to delete useless posts or something like that :)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubborn_d0nkey:
If the open reserved an extra post or two he could have used them to link to posts with reviews for gone and organize them
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allspark2020:
What's the use of thread if no one is going to post a review

Contact the moderator and ask him whether it is useful or not and Also ask whether it needs to be posted in general section or not

If he finds it useful ask him to make it a sticky thread

Also ask him to remove all the useless posts and reserve some more posts

[Galaxy 3 General] mynker:
News started to trickle out this week about a new Android build called Linaro. Basically, it takes stock Android 4.0.4 and makes it super-fast, and super-awesome(er). In fact, it can boost performance by up to 100 percent over stock. Considering how fast and fluid stock Android 4.0.x already is (especially compared to older versions of the OS), that's quite impressive. Don't take my word for it, though, here's one of the main Linaro guys, Bernhard Rosenkranzer, showing it off on a TI Pandaboard. The Pandaboard features the OMAP 4430 processor (the same one that's in the Droid RAZR), so this is definitely a real-world example of what Linaro is capable of:

As you can see, the Linaro build finishes long before the stock Android build. That's not the best part though: the parts of Linaro that make is so efficient and fast are coming soon to Cyanogenmod 9.

Basically, parts of the Linaro code have been submitted to the CM9 gerrit and are currently awaiting approval. Once commited, these tweaks will be added to the main CM9 code, giving all supported devices a drastic increase in performance.

The good news doesn't end there, though: Galaxy Nexus owners can already take an unofficial CM9 build with the Linaro bits for a whirl. From what we've read, this build is noticeably faster and more fluid right out of the gate. Awesome.

Since the first rule of CM is don't ask for ETAs, we have no idea when we could start seeing builds show up with Linaro code, so for now, we'll all just have to take comfort in knowing that things in the CM9 world are getting ready to get a lot faster.

:D:D:D:D

I can only perform basic functions like rotate and crop... I also have gallery 3d but its not the same as it was stock. That one offers a bit more editing features but still no pen features.

I think I'm missing Photo Editor so I tried to restore from a titanium backup but it didn't fix it. It displays in red in TB if that helps...
[General Questions and Answers] northern_lights:
Hello everyone,

This is my first message. I have never posted here before but I've read a lot; I always found all the information I needed (and I thank you all greatly for that). But this time, i'm out of clues.

I have a HTC Titan US AT&T and i'm trying to flash it to DFT Eternity Pearl Edition, mainly to have it updated past build 7720 (since AT&T decided to screw us all and stop shipping updates; the CAB sending method fails on it).

Info about the device:

Below is what I tried and the results I got:

1. flashing SPL from DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1 using RUU: gives "invalid model ID"

2. flashing it using the goldcard method: the phones displays "entering USB host mode", then "loading", then immediately reboots and goes to the SPL screen (above)

3. from there, plugging the phone to a computer, then trying to flash HSPL using the wizzard gives a communication error when trying from XP, and apparently succeeds when trying from Windows 7. But restarting after it's done gives the SPL screen which doesn't say HSPL anywhere.

4. then, trying to flash the actual ROM (DFT Eternity Pearl Edition) from RUU gives "invalid model ID" again

5. I also tried to flash the original ROM for my device, IMG_Eternity_Cingular_US_1.10.502.04_Radio_16.23.02.26_A_16.27.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh, hoping it would somehow downgrade the SPL and things would go well after that, using the goldcard method. That apparently worked:

But I then tried everything again and got the same exact symptoms.

6. Then, right now I tried flashing the DFT Eternity Pearl Edition using the goldcard method and it has been stuck on the "Loading..." screen for 20 minutes and still counting.

I'm out of ideas. To me 5. proves my goldcard setup works. I will, however, go out today and buy a SD card reader and try again as i've been using a flash drive. Would any one have any more idea?

Maybe one thing worth noting: that phone was originally a test phone, meaning a phone that AT&T would give companies who wanted to try new phones before buying a whole fleet of it. I don't know if they do anything to these phones.
[General Questions and Answers] northern_lights:
I *promise* this is the only bump i'll make on that message. I bought a SD card reader but the damn thing doesn't even power up when plugged on a laptop so I have to return it.

Hello,

I found something strange, with the sync disabled in System settings and in the application settings I still manage to receive mail from the corporate app (Exchange), however not from my Gmail account.

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Go to titanium backup and freeze email and exchange service.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredC94:
Thank you, but this does not solve my problem.

As I use corporate mail application for my work, I don't want to freeze it, I just want to be able to stop synchronizing when I want it (e.g. week-end).

So I do not understand why I continue to receive corporate emails when accounts synchronization is shut off.

Hi there,

is there a way to make the system scan a mounted cifs share for media files?

When I put a media file on the sd-card it gets listed in the media player.

But when I mount a cifs-share the system doesn´t recognise the files in the linked directory. I also can´t save playlists from SMB-MP3 files for example.

I have a rooted rom (based on Archos 4.0.6) from the dev section on my G9 101.

Thanks for any help..

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
So instead of creating multiple threads, I figured I'd just ask all the questions I have in here. I came from an iPhone environment so bare with me with the questions.

With the iPhone, when I received a text message, my screen would turn on for a few seconds. Is there an app or mod that I can do to do that?

Also, I have CleanRom 1.1 LE installed and have it currently OC'd. I usually install Autokiller to help free up my memory. If I install it, will it ruin the settings the dev put on the ROM?

I have a few more questions but this is all I can think of now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WTFunk:
If you replace the stock messaging app with either gosms or handscent from the play store you will be able to have that feature. Either app is great, just try them out.

There's no need for autokiller or any task manager for that matter. At least IMO
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fluxgfx:
To answer your question about AUTOKILLER.... never use any program that kills processes that are running why?

Android runs on a linux type of environment and the memory management doesn't work the same way. Technically the OS will manage the resources required for your current task at hand.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
Thanks for the answers guys.

Another question. Should we still be turning on the "Force GPU Rendering" in Developer Options?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Doing so creates problems with the XDA app when you're trying to view pictures in threads. For that reason alone I don't have it on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
Maybe that's why my Turntable.fm app keeps messing up graphically. I will have to try using the app with it turned off.

Is there an app that will let me use the volume up or down to activate the screen?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&hl=en

^Just a quick google; "how to get your android phone to wake on volume" to find that.

If your looking for a free way to do it, there isn't any that I can think of but I'm sure that can't be the only app out there that can do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
I don't think that's what I'm looking for but that's not as important as my next question. I've searched google for this but maybe I'm just not putting in the right keywords.

I want either a calendar app or an alarm app that will sync up with one another. My work schedule is starting to change randomly and I don't want to have to keep putting new alarms in my alarm app before I go to bed. It would be nice for my alarm to set it self according to the calendar events I have listed in my Google Calendar.

Anything like that? And I'm not talking regular reminders. I want an actual alarm with snooze options to come up as it is my alarm to wake me up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I've heard about waze, syrgic, etc. What makes them better than Google maps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
You mean GPS Navigation or Car Navigation, not "GPS". Anyway, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses, try them for yourself.

One big advantage to some is that you can cache the maps and route and not have to go online. Others the maps will cache but routes still need data, yet others all data is basically on the fly.

Some the maps are more up to date than others, some you get more information, such as Waze will let you know about slowdowns, hazards, police, etc, but requires human maintenance to make the maps good. Google Maps tend to be pretty good but still have some errors and I've never seen it behave all that well without data (and without cludgy caching mechanisms).

Again, try, see what's best for yourself, compare the features for yourself.

Hi,

I am using HTC One X ATT version, after unlock bootloader, rooted, upgrade to 1.85 RUU , remove Bloatware, update ASIA Radio image and update tethering (Article : [TOOL] One Click Tether Enabler For AT&T One X) .

My wifi tethering can work with wifi tether. But PC or USB share device cannot recognize USB tethering devices.

Also change USB link type from charge only to USB tethering, but still not work.

When connect to Desire HD, it works. But HOX Att cannot .

If connect with Desire HD, Windows will show "HTC Remote NDIS based device"

If connect with HOX att, Windows will show "My HTC" (Debug mode)

So, does anyone can use usb tethering option?
