You're doing it wrong.

Go launcher is ****.

I NEVER get redraws with Nova.

Use my phone constantly, on 5hrs 12min screen on right now and not one redraw all day.

Stop your whining all over xda.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
What the? You just guessing or something?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Couldn't disagree more, I don't get any redraws using checkrom. And when it comes to go launcher, it's probably the most bloated and clunky browser there is albeit highly customizable. Nova and Apex are probably just a good as each other. Touchwiz seems to use less resources than other launchers but it is lacking in features.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richyb86:
To be fair not one re draw from nova as yet. The card scrolling effect of home screens is probably my favourite bit
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richyb86:
What's this service that can change something to stop the launcher from being killed all about. I've decided I like the standard Touchwiz now

Is there anything we can do for non rooted phones ? im experiencing redraw on my Galaxy S3 its a UK phone on O2 and completely standard,When browsing and coming out of browser i experience really bad lag/redraw apps appear one at a time then last of all the weather widget
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I don't think so.

The only options would be to flash newer firmware manually with Odin (may our may not help) or use market launcher such as nova or apex. They have option in settings to keep launcher in memory. It can help, but not always prevent launcher getting killed off.

hi just wondering if it's just me or others r having this issue. to get youtube to go full screen I need to have screen rotate on. coming from sgsII all you had to do was turn the phone and u didn't need rotate turned on. maybe I'm missing a setting

if there is a workaround or fix I would to hear about it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
I have auto roate off and I just had to double tap the video. On my Evo I could press down and hold on the video and hit the maximize icon that popped up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bobbydigital222:
I tried double tapping... I'm on youtube version 4.0.8e if that helps and I'm on stock i747 rom
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bobbydigital222:
anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] datajosh:
Happens with ICS on the Sprint SGS2 as well. Seems to be a TouchWiz issue because CM9 rotates like it should. Not sure if there's a workaround other than waiting for CM9 to make its way here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bobbydigital222:
must be a problem with youtube 4.0.8e
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] juacas:
Same here!

I'm using Apex Launcher but i don't know if touchwiz is doing something in the background. Double-touch doesn't work neither.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bobbydigital222:
it might just be with youtube 4.0.8e... anyone else having this problem?

Right i have a

Samsung galaxy nexus

I would like some advice on the following:

Whats the best rom for battery life and good performance throughout.?

If or when i root i will be using Galaxy nexus root tool kit v1.4 I want to keep all my apps, data and settings so shall i use the back up and restore in the GNEX tool kit to do this.? (I know SMS wont be saved but ive got an app for that.

also I want advice on how not to brick my phone lol

sorry if it is so noobish but i dont want to mess things up

thanks alot guys for your help and support

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lewisb246:
Wasn't called for but hey ho what do you expect from silly Americans

Disclaimer I love Americans

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thelowend:
I really like AOKP. It has just enough features to make it more appealing than many other roms.

Did you chose to keep your phone backed up by Google? If so restore from there when you flash. If not then Titanium Backup us the go to backup app that never fails.

My best advice for not bricking is refrain from flashing anything you can't find info on and do not mess around with unknown fastboot commands.

And don't worry about being new. I'm still learning this phone too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lewisb246:
ok mate thanks alot for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Aokp for me too. I also wanna try the tablet rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oxirane:
I advise you to read all instructions thoroughly and look on youtube for guides... they're on there, and very helpful when you're new to this. Whenever I try rooting/flashing a phone I haven't rooted/flashed before, I try to do as much reading and video watching as I can to prevent any soft/hard bricks.

As far as roms go, Jellybean just came out. It's amazingly fast, responsive and the new features are great, but my battery life seems shorter.... but then, that's probably because I've barely put the phone down since installing JB.

Some launchers don't work on JB yet, though. But the stock one is very nice, so long as you don't mind the persistent search bar.

Just make sure to read the OP completely and try to find answers to anything you don't understand. If they aren't explained well enough for you in the topic, then post your question.

Enjoy the root scene!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kidrobot52:
Don't flash nothing that's not made for your phone...( gsm) I believe that includes roms and radios. Kernel are ok tho as long as they say so in original post (correct me if I'm wrong still new to this phone to)

And definitely try out paranoid android. Definitely the best rom! (my opinion:fingers-crossed::good: ) here's a link. :D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
Yes that is a long time, You should contact them and enquire about it.

If i have a fault, My provider repair it, They keep me up to date with the progress via text, The longest I've been without a phone is 6days :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
Yes, it's too long. Warranty states that they have to make repairs as soon as possible - but no longer than 14 working days. I think you should remind them ( read: demand your phone now, not necessarily very polite )
[General Topics] Kiladar:
what would be easier to develop roms on???
[General Topics] ankabo:
I think, there is no "optimized" system for developing. You can use what you want and develop in every system.

I think, that windows is a good choice, because you can use Cygwin or a virtual machine like VMWare or Virtualbox to use a linux system if necassary.

Greets
[General Topics] Simonetti2011:
Officially, you should have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. That's the OS Google has made "official" for Android and Kernel development. The instructions *may* work on 12.04 LTS but it is unsupported as of now.

It is, however, a PITA to simply install Oracle's JDK on Ubuntu. It can be done, but now without some research and effort.

Unofficially, you should still use Linux, because all the toolchain is easier to get and install on Linux.

IMHO, choose a Linux distro you are confortable with and start from there.

I've just updated my Evo 3d to the gsm Official ICS update, but i'm experiencing problems

My Messages app won't load. When I click on it, it shows the recent messages screen but theres a notice saying "Please wait" and a loading symbol, and i'm not able to click on any of my messages or compose new ones :(

I've left it on this screen for half an hour but the "Please Wait" and the loading symbol doesn't go away. It's probably because I have lots of messages stored on the phone, but this didn't seem to be a problem before the update :confused:

I tried using the Messages widget, and that works fine, all the messages show up and I am able to click on individual conversations.

I'm just hoping for a solution to the problem because I don't want to have to go through the widget every time to access all of my messages and send new ones. I would appreciate any help :good:

Thank you

If you don't care about your messages just clear your messages data.

thanks for the reply.

I do care about my messages and would prefer not to delete them all, but I guess i could use an app to back them up. The problem is that the option to clear message data is within the message app itself, and since the message app won't load, I can't get to that option :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Not completely true .

Yes try to back up your messages with an app . then go into settings.. apps... Select all. Then scroll down until you find messages and you can clear data from there.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkaGrey:
No sod, being in 2.3.4 eu stock. (we don't have higher then that tough... -.-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJPollard:
No SOD here, either. Started out with Froyo (AT&T 4.1.83), then upgraded to Gingerbread (AT&T 4.5.91), before rooting, unlocking, and eventually settling on CM7.2 after going through a few other custom ROMs (DarkSide, RedPill, and RedPill-CM7).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consolation:
With my previous phones SOD s were usually caused by the minimum CPU frequency being set too low. If you get them regularly increase the minimum frequency by a step till they go away. Sometimes changing the governor helps.

It won't impact on your battery life much, phones are designed to race to idle anyway. Having then chug at low speeds is ridiculously inefficient anyway.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Hello!

First of all, I DID see the

"[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread"

However I'm not sure if I have a bootloop or im just an idiot. Heres the background of my problem

I had normal unrooted i9100

I then rooted it with Intratech's awsome root guide, it worked perfectly.

A friend recomended I install cyanogenmod7, so I did, It worked perfectly. Nevertheless I didn't like it.

So I tried to remove it by flashing a ICS firmware.

And it all went downhill.

After flashing the phone, Heimdall said it was OK, but my phone got stuck in the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 i9100" with a warning sign and it did not budge for a while.

I panicked and followed the "[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread" because i thought that was the problem, I even flashed villianmod still to no luck.

In short. I have access to CWM recovery (i flashed cf-root again) and to download. but I don't know what to do.

If this is in the wrong place, i will gladly remove and repost if necessary

Thank you for your help!

Required Downloads:

Root Box

CF root kernel

Steps.

1)From Heimdal /Odin ( i used heimdall) flash the $&!t out of your phone with the CF root.

2)After root and flash , clear cache and user data from phone.

(here's where I got confused)

3) save in SD card both the root box and the kernel cleaner

4) In cwm recovery (or what ever its called [im new] ) load zip of the kernel cleaner and run it

5) run root box

6) smile like an idiot

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
For me, the S3 isn't enough to leave my S2, especially with the price drop of the GNex AND the new nexus devices that will be released shortly, AND the other new phones that will be released shortly as well.

The TMo Note? That depends. Is it based on the Note 2 that will he released shortly, or is it based on the previous Note, putting it behind in rom development and basically another S2 type situation?

The TMo S2 was released so late that development was very, very slow and I see the TMo Note possibly having the same problem.

I DO like the Note, and would have gotten it in Feb had it been available on TMo then. But 5 months later? I'm gonna wait and see what else is coming along.
