[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] larkhillv:
Hello,

I'm somewhat new to flashing ROMs (althought I stay up to date with Franco's nightly kernels), so I am kind of hesitant to flash all the time (especially since backing up constantly is a pain). The first ROM I flashed was Redemption ROM, which was a pretty zippy stock experience, but I wanted something more featured, so I switched to Axiom Crossbreed because I heard good things about it.

I like Axiom Crossbreed, but it's no longer being supported and updated by DroidTheory, the dev, due to moving onto new projects. It's based off of AOKP, but I'm hesitant to flash even another AOKP ROM because I know for a fact that Crossbreed is relatively fast, gets good battery life, and stable.

Among other things, it has features like custom lockscreens, double-tap to open Play Store (which I have grown extremely accustomed to), and just a customizable interface in general. But like I said, it's not being maintained, so in a long-winded way, what I mean to ask is: What other ROM(s) could I try that are practically guaranteed to be fast, stable, offer customization (octo lock screen, double-tap homescreen to open Play Store, custom battery icon, etc), and have great battery life--while also being updated and maintained on a regular basis?

Thanks a million!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indyred99:
Check out ICSourcery version 3.1. Best ROM by far I think. The amount of customization on it is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Every phone and individual is different. Use the from that YOU like that has the features YOU want. They're all stable.

"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] larkhillv:
I have heard good things about ICSourcery, too. Thanks for the suggestion--I'll have to flash this over the weekend :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anastatow:
You should check out paranoid android... fast, stable, good battery, and built on cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
All ROMs are the best as considered by the people using them.

Try each out and decide for yourself

If anyone is interested, there is now a MIUI launcher on google play, created by miui. It is brand new so lacking a few features but all in all really smooth and fast.

Looks neat, I'll see if I can use any Miui themes I like.
[LG Revolution] joel1001:
thank you amigo!!:)
[LG Revolution] The Kraken!:
Wow, this is genuinely different. I can't decide if I like it or not just yet. I'll have to get used to all apps being on the home screens. I like the overall look, though, so I might wind up digging this. Thanks!
[LG Revolution] brswong:
I get a not found error when i use that link
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I think Miui took the app off the market since I can't find it on my phone even though I have it installed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboBrickMike:
I am determined to downgrade and root my phone on my own, as opposed to paying someone on CL to do it for me. I just moved from Sacramento, CA to Cleveland, OH and I just got my comp unpacked and connected to the internet.

I Just downloaded SDK w/ all of the platform tools, ect. I have also been reading up on ADB and the appropriate commands. My only problem is my comp isnt recognizing the platform tools. it is located at the root of my C:\. Am I missing something? I was going to post in the development forum, but because I am new I can't. Can someone help me out please? I know I am close.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazykas:
How did you typed the command?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
First of all be very grateful you can't post in the development sections because if you did it would only of lead to problems with these hungry users that are always ready to flame someone... Anywho...

Follow this guide to downgrade:

Follow this guide to downgrade and root the phone after that you can flash cyanogen if you want or anyother rom that u chose (((HINT: Black Unicorn Resurrected v4.1.1))) :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboBrickMike:
lol, thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone have a link to a thread that shows step by step what to type and what the correct returns would look like?

The all seem to be a little different, and maybe im just an idiot but its pretty confusing seeing so many different ways to accomplish this
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboBrickMike:
Ok, so I am going to try the wiki way to downgrade and root my phone. Hopefully this works.

Thanks for the help
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinouchi:
So you have your platform-tools folder in C:\platform-tools? right?

Go into that platform-tools folder under command prompt, and type adb shell, see if it can detect the device.

Thank you guys for all of your help. It worked! My phone is now downgraded back to Froyo. Next is Root w/ S-Off and Cyanogen Mod.
[HTC One X] lostunsunghero:
Hi,

I read somewhere that you shouldnt play games on your hox while its charging, (or any device for that matter) but then i thought there cant be any truth to that or you wouldnt be able to use your laptop while its plugged in.

I normally only charge my phone at night and while its charging i generally play a few games or browse the web in bed before i go to sleep (this can sometimes last several hours if im really into a game).

Recently ive been getting the green/red LED notification light, which informs me that my phone is too hot, at which point i pull out the charger, wait for it to cool down and plug the charger back in. This is now becoming very common, and i get the LED notification after about 10 minutes.

Have i ruined the battery?
[HTC One X] muamers:
It is not recommended to overheat your HOX ... the processor is safe, but not the other parts of the phone. Just dont do it until we dont receive the next update (2.xx.xx) that solves the overheating problem (thats what i read from guys that already thesting this leaking unofficial update in a custom ROM.

Just dont do it if you want to be on the safe side ;)
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Ah that makes sense. My old phone definitely overheated and developed yellow spots. I'd game a lot with it plugged in too
[HTC One X] colin_ktp:
Is there any official word from HTC that says shout battery charging when running games or navigation software?
[HTC One X] _delice_doluca_:
This is what I would like to know.. if we have an automatic protection to prevent the battery from over heating by stopping the charging process and if we also have no word from HTC about it so I have every right to consider myself in the safe zone.. if something happens to my device because of overheating no one can say it is out of warranty
[HTC One X] colin_ktp:
My concern is using phone as navigation or for gaming during charging - I can't imagine this phone working whole day as navigation because of overheating of battery... So I cannot do what I want with my phone because:

1. Battery drain is heavy during nav/gaming, so I have to charge, but:

2. Charging when nav/gaming will cause overheat and it will be stopped, so I will not be able to use phone as I want :(
[HTC One X] walaway:
As stated above it would not be advisable to play while charging.

Sad isn't it? The battery drains pretty fast when you play some GPU intensive games, and you end up not enjoying :(

If you can get a good kernel and manage your battery wisely there would be great improvement on your gaming time.

If you can play while unplugged with lowest brightness that would definitely help.

my 2 cents
[HTC One X] colin_ktp:
If I can play in my mind I will not drain phone battery...

so is there an easier way to tell me how to reflash my rom with RSD...and what is RSD??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
Rsd is a development software for flashing, wiping and similar etc for motorola devices.

And, you're *

And safe mode? Where? On the computer? You will not be able to flash a rom on Windows safe mode.

Cause windows safe mode launchs the os without drives.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildalan:
in short i forgot my s3 in the car and it was damn hot...i came back to find it over heating and in boot loop.after it cooled down it was back to normal except now i have heat problem when i use the net or play a game...the question is was its exposure to over heat the cause of ruining something?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
More likely the temp inside the car.

Did you also have it also connected on charge?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildalan:
no i just left it there on the seat...btw whats the normal temp of battery in normal usage?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johku12:
I don't think it should never reach 40 celcius temperature as mine doesn't feel even warm when I play sone heavy games.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildalan:
mine reaching up to 45°

so u think something was effected?

should i exchange the phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
It definitely will get hot, I remember watching my son at swimming lessons last week.

I am in Bangkok and was outside using the phone extensively on 3G data, ambient temp 35+ Celsius. Can't remember exactly how hot the battery got, but sure out read well into the 40s.

Didn't have any hardware or software issues though.

As far as exchange goes, you could try, but they may reject the claim as you most likely were operating the device outside it's design limits.

From the Pg 172 of the GT-I9300 User Manual: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201206/20120613110217963/GT-I9300_UM_EU_Icecream_Eng_Rev.1.0_120607_Screen.pdf

All hardware is not exactly the same, so your device may be less torelant to excessive heat than others or vice versa.

Hope this explains it......... :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votum:
Overheating will cause bootloops. I used to use my phone at work as a wife hotspot because it was faster than our work net. I plugged it in and it would always die after two hours from overheating. Finally rigged up a way to keep it in the freezer lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildalan:
guys as we speak now the temp is 31° meaning I'm just doing nothing but normal browsing...so this is normal?

the main question is does s3 heat up? or mine now is after i exposed it to excessive heat?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I've just been browsing with WiFi & XDA solidly the last hour, and just ran a AnTuTu Benchmark test. Battery @ 35.6 degC / Inside ambient temp approx 25 degC :cool: Edit, after 5 mins cooling down, back down to 30 degC. Normal ........

I thought I answered this question clearly in the my previous post! Did I waste my time?

Your welcome :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildalan:
I'm thankful to u but put ur self in my shoes...a new galaxy s3 that's heating up to 45° ....won't u be pissed and wanna be sure!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Based on what you said, all seems back to normal.

To summarise;

It WILL heat up, depending on environmental conditions and also your using habits. CPU and GPU intensive apps and time spent on this state, and also general use whilst charging etc will heat it up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaydeX15:
+1 to the "It's fine"

Pull out the battery, there it'll list a safe operating temperature. The battery in my phone is "Safe" up to 60c, but it probably shuts itself off at around 55ish. 45 is nothing to a phone, so don't worry.

You're probably just being paranoid, paying super close attention to any kind of "Warm" after the overheating incident. It was probably reaching those same temps prior to leaving it in the car.

Hell, I left my Evo 3D (Super famous for overheating) on my black leather seats, in the summer, plugged in, and GPS running, for an hour or so. It shut itself off and wouldn't turn on for 45ish mins while I let it cool down... And it's running just fine now. Lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scortareo:
Hello all developers and super flashers, I recently had to depart from my most awesome phone the HTC HD2 when it could not continue ant longer. My loving wife saw that I really enjoyed flashing so she got me this Droid Bionic because the sales pitch to her was Control it and you control everything. Which brings me to this question I have not seen asked or answered. The same way that the HD2 was able to run android and wp7.5 dual boot can anyone say rather if or not this Bionic is capable of a similar task?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
No, and why would you want to gimp the Bionic more than it already is?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
The Droid Bionic (and every Moto device on the 4 major USA carriers ever since the Droid X) has carried a locked bootloader. This has the side effect of the kernel only being able to be modified by official Motorola updates that contain a heavily encrypted signature.

Nothing except Android can run, and doing anything else is impossible.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dbz5as:
I have an issue with the lock screen that is hard to describe. I will try to explain it, so be patient with this noob :D

I use the red end call button frequently to shut off the screen and put the phone on hold. However, sometimes I experience a problem when I am trying to wake it back up to the lock screen. I will press the end call button and the screen backlight and the button's backlight will turn on, but the screen will be blank. After a few tries of pressing the end call button, eventually the lock screen will appear. It seems to be a weird bug and I have experienced it on more than one rom (American Android and Nightly CM9 4.0.4 Tytung). The phone appears to do what it does when it takes a call and it is near your head. It is truly a strange problem. I wonder if the issue is connected to the proximity sensor. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mengfei:
try out other ROMs first if it's all the same then it might be HW problem.

if you have magldr just get those SD-ROMs & drop them in your SD card, it's the most easiest way to trouble shoot.

Please post at Q&A next time.

You need a custom kernel which supports boot animation with audio.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
This has been asked multiple times and its been answered multiple times. Yes you can have audio in a Boot animation but only on the rom/kernel for cm roms for some reason it doesn't work on stock rom/ kernel. Doomlord has tried to get it to work on stock but it just won't happen. So yea there it is next time do some searching BEFORE just making a thread in the wrong section!

Mod should just delete this thread!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangri:
I've owned HTC, Samsung and Motorola Android phones and I've had negative experience with two out of 3 those vendors (more on that below). I'm now thinking of getting a newer phone quite soon (well, supposedly Google will be announcing 5 new Google-branded devices this Fall) and the warranty considerations are about the top of my list.

If you've had an experience (wherever positive or negative) with the warranty on your android phone, please post away and let me start the ball rolling. My goal here is to ideally find the manufacturer which would deal with end users directly on the warranty issues and would not shy away from the international warranty. I'll collect responses and then edit this post to reflect the actual warranty statements from the manufacturers rather than my own experiences.

[HTC] I've had a Google Ion device (given at the Google I/O conference) which was also sold known HTC MyTouch. I needed to flash Android 1.5 on it and bricked the phone. HTC spent about a month before they said they didn't have this IMEI in their database and would not offer *any* support (including paid) with that phone. What a bummer, I don't think I'd ever buy the HTC-made Google-branded phone.

[MOTOROLA] Had a problem with the phone not charging (when plugged to a computer) and I panicked and contacted Motorola. They ran the IMEI and suggested I go back to the provider (even tho I'm overseas and wouldn't be back home for a while they refused to accept the phone directly from me). Thankfully the phone charged just fine off the wall outlet, but what if I've had a genuine issue with the phone while overseas? Also, what if this had been a second-hand phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
the best solutioin for ur problem is the following:

there are two different things

1. the warranty (it is given by the phone manufacture)

2. the service the seller gives to u

i would mention to find a seller wich has a own service station

cus if there are any problems u can bring the phone to them and let them check out whats wrong
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
I thankfully haven't had to make use of warranty thus far on my android phone (it's an HTC), but I'd say probably if you read some small text somewhere you'd find that the device you were given at Google I/O came without warranty or something like that. I'm sure on purchased devices, HTC will honour the warranty well.

Also, from what I've read, it's almost impossible to completely destroy an HTC phone with software (you should always be able to access bootloader via hardware button combo and from there reflash OS). So an HTC warranty is probably mainly useful for hardware problems.

Another thought worth mentioning is that many manufacturers will not honour warranties if the phone has been rooted or had the bootloader unlocked (at least, if they can tell ;))
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
That was i was thinking too but ive been resently involved into a discussion where a guy bricked his phone in a way he couldnt even get into recovery nor the bootloader
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
On an HTC? Was he trying to get S-OFF or something? (Perhaps I am misinformed about the brick-ability of HTC phones)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangri:
Guys, the thread is about the warranty, not the brickability of the HTC phones.

Regarding the warranty from the seller -- who gives a **** when I'm half a world away from the seller for 4-6 months?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
Yes, sorry for going off topic there.

Anyway, I agree you should not have to rely on any warranty from the seller.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
