[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrayJack:
Just want to up the topic.

Sure everyone has his own opinion. But nobody tried to prepare some comparison between these two kernels.

Siyah has features like auto-root, overclocking, undervolting, insecure adb, init.d support, triangle-away app support, automatic EFS backup, ExFAT support, NTFS automounting for USB sticks…

I've tried to use Franco Kernel Updater - but there are very few options to tweak in comparison with ExTweaks for Siyah. Sure one enjoys terminal and changing files for tweaking kernel - but me not.

The only advantage of Franco as I see - full support of Supercurio Voodoo Sound - with partial one for Siyah. But I cannot state everybody are happy with that - just read this post.

Sure it is very personal opinion but I'd like to see some other pros'n'cons.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] DontCome2MyHouse:
Since the battery on my newly acquired Razr Maxx can't be removed and replaced, how long will this phone last me? Charge cycles?

Is it OK to drain the battery all the way down (charge every other day) or will that shorten battery life?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
No Official number but in general batteries typically are spec'd to last 300 cycles before there charge is 50% capacity of what it was new, So I always make it a thing to go aslong as I can hold out between charges, just don't try powering it on if it shuts itself off from low battery, that is a fast way to kill a battery, also there are tutorials on how to crack open the case and replace the battery if you end up needing to, but by that point you will probably have moved on to some quad core phone that will be all the rage in 2 years.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] !nstaGib:
With li-on batteries, its best for the battery if you charge around the 40-30% mark. There is a chart out there somewhere, but I don't have it handy. You also don't have to worry about a memory any more
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kanagadeepan:
Yes... Only Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries have memory problem and Li+ doesn't have those issues...

Top-up the battery whenever possible + need arises... This also reduces battery getting hot, comparing charging from say 10% to 100% at a single stretch... This is useful as Razr/MAXX has non-removable battery....

PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR BATTERY TO GET DRY OR 0% LEVEL and PLEASE DON'T CONNECT TO MAINS FOR LONGER TIME after battery becomes 100% charged... Only these two must be avoided...
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarcasticphoenix:
I have looked really hard to find the answer to this, but I couldn't find it.

I have a HTC EVO Shift, which was already flashed to Boost Mobile before I bought it.

After looking at the Boot Animations and apps, I realized the phone was also running the MikShifted-G ROM.

I have been using the phone for some time now, but after I found that my phone was not getting the upgrade to ICS, I decided that I wanted to switch ROMs, especially ones that were ICS and stuff.

I followed many tutorials and I have done the following:

-I have rooted my phone.

-I have installed ROM Manager, and I have gotten ClockWorkMod to work.

-I backed up my data with the backup option.

Here are the questions I have:

-It says on most ROMS to "wipe everything." If I choose to Factory Reset/Wipe All in ClockWorkMod, will that un-flash my phone back to Sprint? I do not want to factory reset if my phone will not run on Boost Mobile, hence it is a lot cheaper.

-If I install another ROM and decide to go back to the ROM my phone used to have, does installing ROM Manager again on the new ROM allow me to use the backup I made to go back to how my phone used to be?

Thanks,

Sarcasticphoenix
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
I can't say for sure but doing a full wipe and flashing a ROM shouldn't have any affect on your phone working with boost. Search the EVO threads, I'm sure you'll find a lot of people on boost flashing various ROMs and kernels.

As far as actually flashing the ROM, you should get familiar with using recovery manually, not just relying on ROM manager to do everything for you. Here's a nice guide on how to flash ROMs http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266885. Be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing any ROM (If you already made a backup using ROM manager it can be restored either via recovery or the ROM manager app.)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandontowey:
Also consider using Dread 7 Us's modified recovery. Based off Clockwork Mod but with some great differences: super wipe where you can choose which partitions to wipe and do it multiple times automatically(much less tedious than Clockword Mod's wipe each once method) and it also removes the ton of 'NO's' you have to scroll through to confirm an action in Clockwork Mod and others upgrades I don't recall.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1663531

[RECOVERY] CW-Enhanced [v1.1b] Updated 5/22/12

Flash it just like Clockwork Mod but do a nandroid before just in case. Make sure to also flash the updated one as the first version had MD5 check issues.

roms

if i put a rom into my phone and do a backup... can i go back to rooted stock and put another rom and i i dont like it restore to the other rom?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
As long as you have s-off nandroid restore will work fine. As far as the roms it depends on if the roms have the boost mobile apn's in them or not. A.F.A.I.K. CM7 roms and variants have the most apn support. Might want to do a search on google if cm7 supports boost or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabevouser:
okay. I'm not looking at cases for now, and I would rather want my phone naked. HOWEVER, I'm still scared to have it completely naked. I have ordered screen protector from sgp, and I wonder which one I should get between Zagg's full body invisible shield and SGP Crumena leather pouch.

Zagg invisible shield can keep the same original look of the phone and prevent the scratch. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-lte-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

SGP Crumena leather pouch can make me feel and look the sleekness of the phone when I use, and it.can keep my phone from scratches when it's in my purse. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/evo-4g-lte/htc-evo-4g-lte-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html

Not sure which one is better. What do you all think?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
There's no reason why you can't have both. However if it does come down to one or the other, I recommend the invisibleShield. I've used them on countless devices (two blackberries, my old iPod, three previous phones, my tablets and not to mention the installations I did for family and friends) and out of all of those I've only had ONE scratch (and I had it replaced for free) but it did save the screen on my device.

The pouch is also nice because it will keep dust and other stuff off your phone and it might even protect it a bit if you (oh, please don't let this happen) drop it. However the shield is permanently on, meaning it will always protect you from scratches. You'll only have it in the pouch when you are not using it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
I stay away from anything named Zagg. Ugly rubber junk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabevouser:
I only need one or the other. :P You think shield is also permanent? I felt like they would be peeled as I use them especially those areas I grip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabevouser:
ugh.. it's half and half? why do you hate zagg?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
Um...because its ugly rubber junk, lol. Rubbery feel, glossy orange peek look. They were good 5 years ago when there was nothing else out there, but they're way behind in the game now. The only reason they still do well is because they're in Best Buy and Radio Shack. Side by side comparisons with all the other top brands woukd show how bad they are. I've used about 10 different brands of screen protector over the last few years and I wouldn't use Zagg if you paid me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabevouser:
Oh.. then I just should get the Crumena. I'm scared of putting zagg's invisible shield on. :/ What do you think of Crumena? have you used it before?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
Never even heard of them. I would do a Stwinheil Ultra Crystal screen protector and a thin case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabevouser:
ughh.. so I started a new thread about Crumena, but no one has answered. :/ I probably have to find another case.:(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonathan.strunk:
I'd personally go with Zagg... its military grade and has a lifetime warranty. Its comes off clean, line it was never there. I don't know about the full body protection as I've only ever used the screen protector but I'd buy Zagg again in a heartbeat. you're not going to use the phone in the pouch... most of the time you drop it, i guarantee it won't be in the pouch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
I've actually had them leave residue in the past. That was the thing that made me try other brands that led me to realize Zagg was one of the worst products on the market, just marketed well. I just don't understand why anyone would use a product that destroys screen clarity and feel as much as Zagg does.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I am using the Skinomi full body. It took time to put on, but it was easy to do. I wanted to protect my phone from scratches when I didn't want to use a case. The HTC logo on the back took about 3 days to fill in, but it did completely. Skinomi customer service is fantastic. They sent me out a replacement for the screen protector because of a defect and did not want the defective one sent back the way zagg does. Also, the screen protector self heals where I found that zagg hd does not. I have had pouches un the past, but ended up not using them because I found them to be a pain. I bought a few cruzerlites in different colors as well as the matte black Diztronic just for extra protection when I'm at the pool, etc. These cases are fantastic,very thin, and it's fun to change around the colors. I hope this helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonathan.strunk:
That makes sense about the zagg residue... I've just never had that happen. As for the Skinomi, that's awesome. I didn't know it healed. Definitely going to check it out now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidModder:
Hey guys,

I need some help. I downloaded Ubuntu 11.10 because I heard 12.04 is not as good and I need some help with the installation. I want to keep Windows 7 on my PC as well as boot Ubuntu.

So I just need to figure out how to set it up so it gives me a prompt as to which OS I want to boot...Virtualize simply. haha

Also I am not very familiar with Linux' file system so I also may need some assistance in installing the SDK, JDK, ect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
I thought you said you were a dev over in the Epic sub forums. If you were a dev, Linux and bootloader installs should be second nature.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Un1c0de:
You can use the wubi installer that should be on the ubuntu DVD ISO that you downloaded.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
The Ubuntu installer should handle all that. Since you already have windows you just need to shrink the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu and install Ubuntu to the free space. Once installed Ubuntu uses the grub bootloader which will give you the option of which system to boot into everytime you start up the computer.

As far as commands and installing stuff goes you may as well start reading up on it. You'll need to know how to use the Terminal to develop in Linux. Its not complicated once you learn common commands, etc. Also, I recommend using Gnome classic or kde as your desktop environment if you want something that looks similar to Windows. I'm a KDE person myself.

to setup a dual boot system, u only need a free partition to install linux. a very basic linux installation u have to create root partition and swap partition. u can find installation guide online, its not that hard to setup a dual boot between linux and windows.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidModder:
Okay cool. Because id like to get into Rom development,etc so I need Ubuntu or Mac OS X. Not too sure which ones better though. I assume Ubuntu is because its Linux and that's Android runs on

[HTC One X] phyzz:
I can't access recovery on my one-x. I superwipe my other rom since i wanted to install ARHD, after i superwipe it, i accidentally reboot my system, then after that all i can see is the HTC logo, then i tried to go to Hboot, and go to recovery, i cant go there, help please.
[HTC One X] muamers:
Flash the latest recovery again, just dont panic :)
[HTC One X] phyzz:
i already flash recovery clockwork, then i reboot it again, same thing, it didnt work...

use comands: fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_image.img ....

and after that: fastboot erase cache
[HTC One X] phyzz:
im trying. it says <waiting for device> and i cant scroll from hboot to power down, is that normal?
[HTC One X] muamers:
That means you dont have the right drivers installed? If you enter the fastboot mode on your phone, does it show "fastboot USB" or just "fastboot" ?

its fastboot usb...

ok, i restart my laptop and did the following step that u mention, and yes i got it back. thanks...

I got the same problem. I almost get rid of my new one x. I`m kinda new to all these stuff. After I typed "fastboot erase cache" in commend, what am I suppose to do next? it`s still at fastboot on the phone. should i go to recovery and "reboot the system now"? or just "reboot" in the firstboot?

i`m so lost. :(

currently I looking for a new phone, and I found htc one s is pretty good, so I want to ask you guys opinions. Is there any problem that makes you dont like this phone? or is there any problem with this phone?

Also, I am going to buy a unlocked on on ebay, so if I have a tmobile prepaid sim card, it should work perfectly on the tmobile htc one s right? Including my 5G data?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Before buying make sure u get the s4 chip one like mine lol don't get ovetclockrd s3 not worth it find out when the person bought the phone because if he got it near release date there were chipping problems where paint comes of and buy a case asap ask others about the 5g stuff got no clue I love this phone to bits everything is awesome and battery life is reasonable for a smartphone I have problems with storage advertised u get 16gb but we only get to use 9.93 gb however when s off comes well be able to fix that personal opinion get it if u have a reasonable budget for example I'm on tmobile eu and my contract works out 12pm free phone so quite happy if u got abit more to spend get galaxy s3 because dual core is becoming "old fashion" personally I wouldnt get it cuz screen too big I feel my screen is big but its personal prefernce hope it helps

I really do recommend this phone. I previously owned the hd2 which I had rooted with nexushdCM9 which was a great setup; but this new one s is so much more of a upgrade. It really an awesome phone. I've had it for about a week and no problems at all.
[HTC One S] frettfreak:
ABSOLUTELY worth buying without a question. I bought this phone a few days ago (coming from a LONG line of Android phones back to the Hero) and was only getting it to hold me over til the gs3 comes out in a few days and was going to take it back. I am still going to look at the gs3, but honestly, its going to have to be REALLY amazing to pull the HTC away from me.

But as mentioned above, make sure you get the phone with the s4 chip cause cause the s3 is just old tech.

My dad has this phone, be absolutely loves it, the screens beautiful and its very responsive. You'll love it. :)

[HTC One S] pvaldeben:
I just switched from HTC Evo 4G and loving the One S, Its almost is almost 44 grams lighter and almost 1/2 thinner. and both have a 4.3 inch screen its really easy to use in one hand. The Evo 4G was to heavy to use in one hand. I'm as happy as can be. I did get it free for fathers day Sweet!! :)

Remember if you get the bigger screen you will most likely need two hands to operate it, that was the deal breaker for me with the One X or SGS3. The only reason I when to t-mobile to see the phone was because it was free. But when I saw it and felt it in my had and in my front pocket I was amazed by it, apart from One x bigger screen it also looks weird. I would have loved the bigger screen but I did not like using 2 hand for a simple status check on my phone.

Either way both phones are amazing i'm sure.
[HTC One S] pandazzz319:
already bought the phone and got it, love it so much! slim and sexy~ only problem is my first boot has the overheat issue, but after I turn it off for like an hour and turn it on again the problem went away, overall it is a great phone
[HTC Desire S] baqai:
So here is the story, I had a S-Off Desire S which was running perfectly fine on Cyn 7. I was doing something and it hanged I took out the battery and it was dead. By dead I mean no light when putting on chargers (multiple chargers, multiple cables and multiple outlets including computer and power), it doesn't boot up, nothing happens on holding volume keys with power button, once my computer detected a wierd device I can't recall the name.

For past two months or so its been lying around since I didn't had time to look into it. Is there any way of fixing it or should I consider it as an expensive paper weight.

I am from Pakistan so there is no concept of warranty here as HTC when I purchased was not officially here. My first and last HTC set.
[HTC Desire S] sickill:
You should not blame HTC ("my first and last HTC" you said). You were using unsupported (by vendor) ROM. It's a pity that it happened but there's always a risk.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
If you can't get into Hboot there is very little we can do here, the only thing I can suggest is to clean your battery contacts? It is a long shot!
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Your computer detected QHSUSB_DLOAD device.

Google it, and see what it is.

Unfortunately, it also means you screwed your phone beyond repair (which is possible, but very hard, and no guide exists - only Sensation has one). Don't blame HTC, they weren't the one to run CM on your phone.
[HTC Desire S] baqai:
i have emailed HTC regarding this hopefully they will be able to sort something out for me ... another friend of mine running on stock firmware had the same problem today. Is this problem only related to Sensation, Desire S and Desire HD or it can happen in the newer sets like One X too?
