for those of you who want to upgrade your hard drive but dont want to go thru reinstalling windows 7 and its updates you can use easus todo backup free just selct the source hd you want to clone and what parts of it you want to clone and it will do all the work for you then after you have it all cloned and done just delete the windows files on the old hard drive very simple
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Nice. Didn't know that. It will free up that hdd. I want to keep it since its a 2tb one. Maybe put linux on it if it finally wants to install >:l
[EVO Shift 4G General] shrekdaklown:
have you tryed running linux in a virtualbox enviroment
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Nope not virtual box. I should try but someone about dual booting gets me all giddy inside lol weird I know
[EVO Shift 4G General] shrekdaklown:
id recomend trying different versions of linux till you find the one you like the best then daul boot its a pain to comeback from a daul boot with windows 7

This is a waste of money.

I am very familiar with VirtualBox and I love it.

Got 7 VMs running here.

Regarding linux:

In my free time I contribute to the fedora project.

I am working on a Fedora spin for developers (ironic as I've stated I'm not a dev here I know).

Anyways, from what I have jumped into with Android dev on here Ubuntu was a lot easier for people to get an Android dev friendly environment setup.

There are many tutorials here and many people will suggest Ubuntu.

You can also use Linux Mint. It's the same thing as Ubuntu except 100 times better because it is based on Cinnamon and Mate desktop managers.

Anyways, you can check out my fedora wiki page here and find me on IRC if you want to join/help/contribute to fedora (all info is on wiki page).

[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
Vicodan you contribute to fedora? I use Red Hat (I'm old school from like 8 years ago hahaha) but in an honesty I use Fedora. I have not checked but what is it. 16 or 17 now? I think I have fedora 16.

Shifted from Outer Space
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
For the $800 budget one. The Asus crosshair v is a good choice. I have that one in my computer
[EVO Shift 4G General] shrekdaklown:
i like your build for the 800 budget but the crosshair is way overkill if you arnt using nvidia if you want a 990fx borad grab the gigabyte 99fx ud3 and step up to the fx6100 but with spending that kinda money you wanna drop the psu that comes with the case and pic up a 80+ bronze certified unit i perfer corsair ozc and seasonic they have the best warranties
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Yes I do. Currently maintain a package, do QA, and I'm a member of the Ambassadors team. I started contributing to Fedora in January.. it's a good break from contributing here.

I use all different kinds of Unix/Linux. :)

The latest release is 17.

Did you have any questions about Fedora/RHEL or CentOS?

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

I take this approach:

Buy the most expensive Asus motherboard possible and the cheapest AMD CPU for the latest socket.

That way I spend very little on my CPU and I can upgrade later for very cheap.

There is not much performance difference between the various CPUs on AM3+.

Sure 8 cores is better than 4 but you're already getting a screaming CPU to begin with.

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

There is no such thing as "overkill" for your motherboard.

I do not like Gigabyte.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
That is correct. You don't need a crosshair usless you want a good gaming pc. I have radion ATI with a 8 core amd fx, windows 7, 8 GB ram, ASUS MB with hdmi support, a 32" HD TV monitor, Ubuntu 12.04 on virtualbox and everything works fine.

I have 500GB's dedicated to Ubuntu on virtualbox with swap (my kind of overkill ;)), and 50GB ccache for compiling roms/kernels. I also have virtualbox set to treat the VHDD as a SSD so it speeds things up even more.

SSD's won't really help much and are WAY OVERPRICED i.m.o. They increase read speeds but not so much for writing speeds which is what you need for compiling, and way less storage.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/270708-32-ssds-overpriced-substandard
[EVO Shift 4G General] shrekdaklown:
gigabyte and asrock are quickly becoming some of the best mobo's out there i have the gigabyte 990fx-ud3 and its a rock solid performer and is has alot of great reviews and site recommendations the reason i say go fx6100 over the 4100 or 4100 is the larger l2 cache and the 4100 is really a daul core with 2 bd modules per core the 6100 is a tri core with two bd modules per core effectively making them quad and hex core cpus like the big boy 8120 and 8150's are really quad cores with 2 bd modules per core making them effectively 8 core chips and the 6100 will oc higher than the 4100 and honestly with these bd chips you need at least 4.3 ghz to really open them up to there true potential they were meant to be clocked higher than they were put on the market for but they had yield issues and were so far behind in releasing them they just under-clocked them i have a 6100 coming i use a 955be clocked at 4ghz now but i just did a 4100 and 6100 build and really liked the 6100 and when i grab the money im going full watercooling and and crank the 6100 up to a lil over 5ghz itll be at 4.5-4.6 on my aio water cooler till then
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemonumber3:
so my vibrant is just screwed. the screen got wrecked and now that I got a replacement for cheap (a personal transaction, bad idea) the screen only displays green colors. no other colors work. just green . any ideas? it was running 4.0.4 stock (ExRom2.0) and even an Odin back to stock couldn't help it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
Sounds like the screen isn't connected right, or it's just bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
anyone know how to mod the mms so it has a black background?

i know there are others out there but i dont like all the funky colors ppl make the text or i find one with bubbles but then the text is white and you cant see it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drblack2013:
Black Ice rom has a black stock messenger app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
you wouldnt happen to know if thats compatible with aokp do you if i extract and install it through root explorer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
IIRC Black Ice is an AOKP variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Here you go. You do have to flash it though. But it's a painless process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
is that one any differ than the black ice mms? black ice has black background, blue incoming text, white outgoing, blue mms icon...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Well as you can see from the image, they're very similar except this one has white incoming and outgoing text...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] antyx:
Does anyone else have their phone vibrating as the music plays with the volume all the way up on Poweramp Pro?...I have searched as much as I can and I am now turning to you guys to see if there is something I am missing in the settings...It seems like it will drain the battery to have the vibrator going to the beat of the music the whole time it's playing...With two presses of volume down it stops...Only when the volume is all the way up does it do this...Is there a setting on the phone or in the app that I can turn this off?...:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] matrixzone5:
Yes go into settings sound and turn auto haptic feedback off
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] antyx:
I see now...Thanks...It's the auto haptic on/off that fixes this...I didn't know that it would allow you you check and uncheck apps so I have unchecked it now...I'm coming from an EvO 3D so this is my first taste of ICS...I am amazed at the amount of settings ICS has...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] matrixzone5:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Dr00pi:
Is it possible to make your phone on wifi without actually being on wifi and using the phones connection
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
No.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dr00pi:
Well that sucks
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Honestly, not even sure what you are asking. Why do you want to appear connected to a Wi-Fi connection if you are on anything but Wi-Fi? Am I understanding this correctly? Either you are on: 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc. when connecting to data/network. Can you please elaborate more on what it is that you are wanting/asking? :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dr00pi:
I was trying to use video chat on the road and it told me i had to have wifi. I have 4g and i conveniently had my gfs phone to use as a hotspot but i was just wondering if she wasn't there i would have to stop somewhere with free wifi
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
True, video chat apps most likely will require a Wi-Fi connection in order to perform.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dr00pi:
So i figure that there would b someone who knows a way to manipulate it
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
You can always try one of the many apps from the Market: Skype, Tango, ooVoo, Qik, etc... see if one of these works for what you are trying to do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dr00pi:
I used vtok that works without wifi thanks :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] TheZeroDay:
I think what you mean is something like 3G un-restrictor like for iPhone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dr00pi:
Yes thats exactly what i ment
[Motorola Atrix 2] TheZeroDay:
I don't think there is one, if there is, I am not aware of it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lpuboy87:
I've been noticing that a good number of my sms cant be sent..I get the message saying failure. My phone has full reception so that isnt the issue. Some messages had to resend 2-3x till it went through. I am using the stock samsung sms messaging, if that matters.

Has anyone else had this experience? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinxy:
TBH, I just experienced this yesterday, but not exactly the same, ie, it didnt say failure, just kept showing the loading icon next to the message.

I installed go sms and it works from there.

Not a fix however, but a work around.

In the end, i just wiped and reflashed from scratch and now the stock messaging app is sending again....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lpuboy87:
yeah for the most part its fine...but it has its hiccups at times where i'd have to resend a couple of times till it will finally go through.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriskinetic:
I had this last week , turns out the sms center number had been deleted from options,once i readded the number it was fine,sorry i cant can get the exact name of that option because i dont have the phone right now,courier has just picked it up as im changing it due to the yellow screen tint issue
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ToiletDuck555:
I bought the flip cover case because i like the protection it gives the screen, but there was not enough protection on the corners. I had a cheapo $2 TPU case that I had ordered a while back and modified it for the hinge of the flip cover. The cuts are ugly but its a $2 case so I wasnt to worried.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lopezpm:
Same tpu case I had on my sg2, I liked it a lot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] latinmaxima:
Looks good I will have to try that out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fatboypup:
i might hack one up for fun too
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ToiletDuck555:
Update: I dont think I care for the flip cover. The material that goes around the outside edge is coming off at the hinge and looks like poop. Also its a difficult to take pictures because the case blocks the camera, so you have to let it hang down out of the way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
I found a tower in San Antonio that has 4G LTE broadcasting right now and played on it a bit yesterday. I was driving around trying to find the actual tower and would drive in and out of range. While testing 4G with speedtest or the browser it would freeze when losing 4G and reverting to 3G. I was using a not to be named dual-core awake mod/kernel at the time. Well, I remembered a reason we have dual-core and not quad-core is because of LTE so I went and flashed back to stock kernel. I didn't have the problem today when I went and played on the tower this time.

I may be completely wrong, but I wanted to bring it up to you devs who know more than I do.

This could also just be pure coincidence.

PS

We have some LTE here in San Antonio, now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dopapifreak34:
you have LTE in San Antonio, but I don't have it in KC? wat
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Its possibly nothing and really safe to say not to deduct anything from that experience until it is officially announced as "live" in your area...b/c right now they are still blocking from most sites so that alone could be causing issues and the hand off's...

Also without a log no dev is going to be able to troubleshoot the handoff your talking....though i honestly dont know what in the dual-core mod would cause that experience as all its supposed to effect is the cpu clock's which wouldn't touch data management connections in anyway...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
Yeah, I know it is doesn't help to not have a log. I posted just in case someone out there wanted to know and if they want me to go and try to reproduce what I was describing and save a log then I would.

It is speculation.

And there are several cell towers in San Antonio now allowing 4G LTE connections.

To find them I have had to toggle airplane mode. Not just mobile data. When you have 4G in the area it will take a bit longer to connect data as it tries to negotiate which signal is best. Then it will connect to 3G or 4G accordingly. If you only have 3G in the area then after you toggle airplane it will go directly to 3G. That pause is the indicator you are close to a 4G tower.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Or if your data keeps dropping out. Your phone is trying to connect to lte but the tower is blocking it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
I know the tower isn't blocking it. It's live and is meant to be. I called Sprint to confirm and they even shared with me that the towers by my house are going to be live in the next few days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
I wish I knew what value to change to make the phone sit and try/search 4G longer. Or a way to make 4G the only data connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
download msl reader and get your msl. Then Go to dialer and do ##data# and go to edit and enter your msl. Have fun haha go to lte and change the scan settings:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
what would i do without you guys. thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
mental note -- do not set phone to LTE only. it does not reference solely data.

:eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mav78249:
Just curious. Where in San Antonio are you getting 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrmadry:
I have seen the pull down animation for 4.0.3 and I have seen it on the Icsourcery rom 4.0.3& 4.0.4 is there a CWM zip that anybody knows of going around? Or how to even get this mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Could you be more specific? I can only think of the notification bar pull down animation and it's been the same since Android 1.0 lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
There are mods that will play an animation in the notification windows/shade once you pull the bar down. It's sort of like a bootanimation behind your notification window, instead of just the static black semi-transparent window.

[General Questions and Answers] tjamzt:
What is the difference between h/w and s/w decoding in video player apps? Which one will give better battery life?
[General Questions and Answers] keertikumar_ws:
as the name suggest h/w decoding is done by the dedicated h/w decoder present in the chipset....while s/w decoding is where the decoding is done by the software oly..i.e software uses the CPU to do the decoding..hence i gues h/w decoding gives more battery life... ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
I just recently upgraded my phone from Gingerbread to ICS (SGS2)

I need to get Root going , so I decided to install a Kernel.

I used Siyah's Kernel here:

http://gokhanmoral.com/

Specifically this one "SiyahKernel SGS2 v3.3.2"

However, before I installed that, I installed the SGS3 Kernel first (and it fialed via ODIN)

"SiyahKernel S3-v1.2.6"

Question -- Did I brick my phone ???????

Because I've been trying to reflash the other SGS2 Kernel and it's not working....

Odin is just Freezing. Is my phone messed up ? What do I do ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anto.danny:
did you try flashing a GB firmware? also try a one package file..instead of flashing only the kernel try flashing a gb firmware then flash an ICS rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballmead:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prashanthme:
Flashing different kernel never harms the engine.. But still phone doesnt bootup and i think ur CWM got screwed up with S3... ODIn freezing? U sure u not using KIES?? U must uninstall KIES but must retain the Samsung USB drivers.. Try it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john9:
You should make a decision according to your own conditions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duykhang524:
Can you get in download mode? Home + VolDown + Power. Plug the charger to see it it charges. If you can't get in download mode your phone is hard bricked and can only be repaired with a jtag. This reminds me of the people who flashed the SGS1 kernel...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Firstly, This is a development forum, not a n00b flashing wrong things needs help forum. if you want to create topics or ask questions do not do it in thsi forum, do it in general or Q&A.

Second, if you have bricked your device I have no sympathy as you should check what you download/flash and where you download it from.

Go into download mode and flash stock fw.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Questions go in Q&A not Development. Moved.

PS: Make sure you have usb drivers set up. Use a Mobo USB port. Run odin as admin (my personal thing) and make sure you have good tar files and usb connection.

Yes, what it does is just a full wipe, cache clean... But it is not necessary, as long as you follow the instruction provided by the ROM developers step by step...
