I'm fairly sure you just deleted your stock launcher. In that case,

1. Go to google play on your computer

2. Search for any launcher (go, adw, holo, ftl, lp) and go to its page

3. Click install and choose the device you want it to install on (lg-c800 aka mytouch q)

4. it will download an install remotely on your phone, wait until it has been installed and tap the home button.

5. Voila!

I'm not rooting my mytouch q yet because I'm still holding my breath for an ICS update, otherwise I would be rocking cm9 by now (pointless, isn't it? LG isn't keeping their promise, eh?). Sheesh so much bloat, most amount I've had on any of my phones... must... resist... urge...to root...

Hey Guys,

Tomorrow I'll go on vacation. I won't have data connection there except WLAN sometimes.

Right now I'm unsure what ROM I should take. I like both CM and Sense4.

Which ROM should I take:

-ViperS (former Pkmn) or

-CM9

Which one is more stable, has a bettery battery life or has a better performance?

Ofcourse I'll take bricked kernel :D

ViperS is a new ROM, so not much Information is available, but maybe you could compare it to the Pkmn ROM or any other good Sense4 ROM.

I don't care about 1080p recording. I don't need 3G, cause I don't have Data anyway. I just need it for normal GSM calls and text messages, games and sometimes Wifi.
[HTC Sensation] NeO_ReVoLuTiOn89:
My post is about the same xD I'll suscribe to this thread too ;)
[HTC Sensation] hiverguitar:
Maybe you don't like sense 3.6, but the ARHD 6.6.4 is a very good Rom :)
[HTC Sensation] n0gg:
in my opinion CM9 is still buggy and far away of a stable state..

and my batterylife is better on sense based roms..

but in the end it depends what you like
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Viper has given me excellent battery life! I was amazed. 3 hours in I was still at 100 ! With lite use but my other roms would drain lite use or not. Very suprised at the battery life. Id choose viper for battery.
[HTC Sensation] chassy_8o9:
ARHD 6.6.7 veeery stable... using bricked, battery durability, smooth and bug free ;)

With JB almost ready for some new ROM development, I would like to express my deep desire for transparent nav. bar. From what I've read in some threads, it must be difficult to do, and have it work properly. I think it looks sooo much better when phone has trans. nav. and status bar. I wish a gummy or aopk Dev. could make it happen!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Easy to do. The problem was with ICS, the performance hit was too great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
That would be really cool. I just discovered LMT. OMG is it a great alternative to using the nav bar. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaime3344:
What is lmt.omg? I googled it and nothing came up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
A period snuck in there. Check out lmt if you don't like the nav bar.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

Basically you touch the edge of the screen and a "pie" version of the nav bar will show up. You can also use gestures, but it's a little slower. Its very customizable too. Brilliant app!

They say it works on JB too. The default pie is smaller, I made mine red and bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaime3344:
Thanks!! That looks cool I'm gonna try it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Looks like they used the same basic design as the quick controls in the browser (and possibly some of the same code).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Yea. I've been using it all day and loving it. Bye bye ugly nav bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Wow that alt nav bar looks neat!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaime3344:
Just set it up- now to get rid of nav bar! Thanks again!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Wow I finally tried LMT and damn I'm liking it. I've heard about it for months but was lazy until today. Full screen all the way!

PS I already had been using miniaturized nav buttons with aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
FYI, if you remove your nav bar on JB I do not believe you can swipe up anymore to get to your Google Now page.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noim:
What did u Flash ?? locked or unlocked bootloader ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwolf666:
It belongs to a not so smart friend,

so he doesn't know to tell me ...

I know its hard to guess a problem but what could I try?

all sow cant get into recovery (not with Home + Vol down + Pwr nor with Menu + Back + Power).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noim:
ok Download Flashtools .

Then Flash a Framework file which is a .ftf file to the cell with flashtools. I think then it will be ok ...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwolf666:
Thanks, will try.

Just for the understanding, setools doesn't make the same thing ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noim:
hmmmm....i think its used for bootloader unlocking. ( not 100% sure though )...

just do the things i mentioned & u r phone should b (fingers crossed) running A ok.

Just for your referance of the Frameworks :-

Build no. Android Version

4.1.B.0.431 --> 4.0.4

Get flashtool download the lt18i firmware and flash it.The phone should be ok after that.Locked or unlocked bootloader it doesnt metter .U can find the stock 4.0.4 ics on the general section of the forum
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwolf666:
Nop..

again the same thing, stuck on logo..

The flash went OK with no errors, but still its stuck on the Logo.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Use SEUS, should do the trick. However, bootloader should be locked and phone should not be rooted.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashishhegde007:
I think its a boot loop...this might happen due to many reasons..is your phone rooted??bootloader locked or unlocked??

did u install any custom rom?? etc etc..

the solution is simple..just flash the stock rom (.ftf file)..

hope this helps u..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jader13254:
1. Remove Battery

2. Insert Battery

3. Start Flashtool, select Flash choose a FTF for arc/s

4. when preparing for flash finished press back button while you connect to PC/laptop

5. wait for flash finished and turn on..

SONY logo after custom image

Hi,

I want to flash my phone with a customised image.

Try`d with several different ones here at forum.

My phone is rooted (Flashtools tells me) but no blue led when booting, why?

I have installed x-parts and booted to recovery, then installed Update.zip from SD-card

but when rebooting it is always stuck at SONY screen, why?

After flashing with ftf it is ok again, but i want a new custom image...

Please help
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Have you unlocked your boot loader?

[HTC Sensation] Maorstyle:
Hello,

well I dont have access to post reply on dev forum so I would like to thank venom team for developing pure rom that works awesome.

Really dont care if its spam... they deserve compliments.
[HTC Sensation] FreekvdHeijden:
yeah

I don't have acces to the development thread either..

There is one question I have about the PkMn/Venom ROM:

I used the PkMn 5.1 ROM but to me it was very laggy so I flashed CM9 RC1.

My question is: has it improved in the new venom rom or is it my sd card or something. I'd love to have a sense 4 rom but not too laggy.

:silly:
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
good thing you can't post in the dev forum :) Everyone would rip on you there, general is the place you should be posting! As for their rom, it is quite awsm indeed! Love the tweaks and what they've done to rosie
[HTC Sensation] pottyvick:
Did you use the stock kernal? What settings did you install (clock speed, zram, etc.)?
[HTC Sensation] paparozzi:
That would interest me as well. I've set CPU to 1728MHz, min & screen off on default. No 2D or 3D OC and it runs pretty smooth. Sometimes a little bit laggy when I come from an application, but I think this is unavoidable when I want to use Sense ROMs, also it doesn't bother me really...

And since I also don't have access to the dev-thread:

Awesome ROM, guys! I think I'll stick to this one :)
[HTC Sensation] webharsh:
I'm in the same boat, no access to dev thread :(. I'm running ViperS 1.0.1 right now without any issues. Undoubtedly, best ROM so far, after trying lot of AOSP ROM's including CM9.
[HTC Sensation] devotee101:
Great ROM. My only complaint is the Exchange security mod doesn't work for me meaning I still have to apply the security policy restriction forcing password or PIN unlocking.

This was also the case with OrDroid too. Anyone else have the same issue?
[HTC Sensation] VagPhillips:
Venom

Venom is for me the most well developed rom available for sensation. I have had absolutely no issues whatsoever since flashing it Monday.

Some US T mobile users were reporting problems with the new radio, but it seems to be working fine for me so far.
[HTC Sensation] paparozzi:
One small problem I have: I changed the icons in the notification bar to android stock icons. But now the icon for the data connection seems changes randomly. Most of the time it looks like I'm sending and receiving data constantly, which isn't the case. Anybody know how to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] heyjah:
i currently using darkforest and having battery life problem

i think i will have to try venom
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
This Rom for me (viper) had the BEST battery life I've ever seen in a Rom! I'm amazed! Truly amazed! Thanks team venom!
[HTC Sensation] Master Eto:
viper 1.0.1 is the best rom i have used yet and on 4.0. cpu set to badass underclocked and undervolted still super smooth and great for battery. also like the customizable status bar and venom tweaks. major props to Venom Team:good:
[HTC Sensation] Shredz98:
I would also like to thank those devs and the whole Venom TEAM, I love what you guys have done... Amazing work!
[HTC Sensation] klausel:
the rom is very nice especially the twaeks they made...

but the gernal sense 4 lazyness remains. starting apps e.g takes a lot of time

using eye candy based on aokp tamcore kernel is my daily driver
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
The best Sense 4 rom, ever, but a bit too laggy, i'm going back to ARHD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefcheech:
i9100 here and I just upgraded to the newest english version of MIUI from there website. I was using the regular version of MIUI and didnt think it would be a big deal using the US version.

Anyway, after doing so, I am not met with freezing and restarts. Before doing it, I wiped the cache and dalvik, and installed from my sd card using the zip.

What did I do wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vurda:
Probably you using MIUI beta and as result after installation over older version something can go wrong. The only thing I can advise you is to do Full Wipe after trying to Fix Permissions. Sometimes it helps. If not then do Full Wipe again and reinstall MIUI rom.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
I have tried every ROM available, senseless or with sense; and whenever I run Apex or Nova, the scrolling is low quality, laggy, and choppy. I've tried setting different scrolling times with no avail. Is their some sort of optimization that stock ics has that sense phones don't? I'd love to know if I can fix the issue, or at least figure out what's causing it.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
apex on nils business runs perfect for me. scroll times are set to 1
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Guess I'm going to give Nils' rom a shot. Ill report back, thanks :3.
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
Did you install it or push to /system/?
[HTC Rezound] epsilonomega:
I've used Apex Launcher on CleanROM and am currently using it on Newts OnE XxX. I've never had a problem with it being slow/laggy/choppy on either.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
You beat me to it!! lol I'm using the same ROM with Apex and its smooth as butter.

Guess i should change my sig....
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
I don't get it! I'm on One XxX and its choppy and the scrolling is very low fps.
[HTC Rezound] MaulingDeOso:
People's perceptions vary. It's the same for them as it is for you. They've probably never seen the launchers running at a full 60 fps on a Galaxy Nexus and have no clue they're getting subpar performance.

It seems to boil down to unimplemented acceleration for some functions in the graphics driver (if sense doesn't use it, they don't need to support it). Don't bother with the 218 drivers, either, they aren't any better.
[HTC Rezound] Gorilla*:
i dont know why more people dont use nova.. its the smoothest launcher for me.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
That's why I left Apex for LauncherPro. Not ICS, but fast as hell.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I emailed the programmer for Nova and he told me it might have something to do with our leaks not including the proper 3D or graphics libraries.

I do know exactly what you mean, when flipping desktops with Sense, it looks like we get 60 frames per second and it's super smooth. With Apex, Nova or GO, it's still fast but the framerate drops down a LOT.

What's weird is that when opening the app drawer, all those launchers become really fast and really smooth. It's only when flipping desktop pages. Even with no wallpaper scroll it's choppy.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
Same problem here. I tried flashing the Adreno 220 update but it lowered benchmark scores and didn't improve the responsiveness of Apex.

Guess I'm stuck with Ultrasmooth Rosie, I don't really like the Sense app drawer (neither 3.6 nor 4.0) but I'll take 60fps over 10fps.
[HTC Rezound] MaulingDeOso:
My thought was that the libraries just fell back to software for some functions, and that was why it was slow. We certainly have the necessary library files, but that doesn't mean all the hooks were properly implemented.

For me, the app drawer in Nova is choppy until you get to the widgets section, which is ultra smooth. Apex's app drawer is adequately fast. Both home screens are terrible, though.

This is also quite irksome for me because it also seems to affect Chrome's performance, and I'd really like to use that.

One can only hope at this stage that the official OTA is different and properly accelerates the missing drawing functions.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Actually I have used a Galaxy Nexus, and the only thing that my Rezound does not compare too would be Jelly Bean on the Nexus. I switched things up lately though to sense 3.6 to run Tablet mode again though and I Still dont have any performance issues, Even on Apex Launcher. Both on Sense 4 and on 3.6.

Although I would agree that when running Tablet mode, Nova runs a tad choppy, but Apex is still beasting it!
[HTC Rezound] MaulingDeOso:
I had a Galaxy Nexus, too, and the home screen was much smoother when scrolling. Are you saying you're getting 60 fps with your Rezound?

What about with Chrome? Is your scrolling there 60 fps or does it stutter?

I'm curious about the Droid Incredible 4g now, too. I'm wondering if it does or doesn't have this issue. I pulled the Adreno drivers from its image and tried them and it makes no difference on this phone.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
So far its super smooth, I have a friend I work with too that has a Nexus and he says I did a good job setting up. We did side by sides and it keeps up very well with his ICS Nexus, then he Put JB on and I lose lol.

For Chrome I dont know, I never use it, I use stock ICS Browser or even ICS + (The Stock runs better than ICS + [Although I'm sure they are the exact same thing?]). Only issue I have is that stuff shows up kinda small since I'm running Tablet Mode now.

Also what's the purpose of the Adreno drivers? I read the thread on it a while back when they first pulled them from some other device, but dont remember what they were for.
[HTC Rezound] MaulingDeOso:
Saying it's "super smooth" doesn't mean anything, because it might mean something different to you than us. I was looking to quantify things. If you know what 60 fps looks like, you can definitely say whether or not you're achieving that. I can say that this phone does not reach 60 fps in the cases I mentioned. A Galaxy Nexus does.

I use ICS Browser+ as well, as it doesn't seem to suffer from the stuttering issue. If you're willing to test, it's simple enough to download Chrome and check if scrolling is smooth like it is in the stock browser or ICS Browser+.

The Adreno drivers are just that: the drivers for the Adreno 200 series of graphics hardware. They are an implementation of EGL and OpenGL ES for the GPU in the phone. The theory was, being newer, that they would be faster or have improved acceleration and/or power management. From testing, I haven't seen any qualitative benefits to using anything other than the stock drivers, and people have said their benchmark numbers aren't any different, either.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
I agree with you that saying Super Smooth doesnt really mean much to everyone else, but without any real method of measuring the true FPS at the moment makes it even tougher. Although I can truthfully say that it seems to be matching the smoothness of the Nexus so far, if its not a full 60fps then its pretty DARN close lol.

For Chrome I'll be testing in a few when I get out from work and I'll post what my findings are. Never used Chrome on Phone mode or Tablet mode lol.

I might try out those Drivers see if it makes it even better....ish? Although If you guys havent had much luck with your rezounds then I assume I won't have much luck either. Either way i'll Try that out too. Anyone have a link to it?
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
Yep, this was the main reason why I stopped using de-sensed roms with apex/nova/trebuchet and switched to sense roms. Just couldn't take the choppiness anymore
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Anyone have the latest apk for chrome. I can't get it off the market. Says not compatible. Much thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
When he says it's smooth, I'm pretty sure he feels it's smooth and not jerky. And you keep railing on 60fps. I dont think you know what 60fps looks like. The human eye cannot distinguish anything over 24fps. So whether its 30fps or 1,000 fps, you wouldnt be able to tell.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
You would be correct good sir!

Still anyone have the latest Chrome? All I keep finding are Beta's and i'm unable to get from the Market.
[HTC Rezound] myepicyear:
Here you go man.

Newest Chrome. It runs so, so, well on the GN with Jellybean.

[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Thank you sir! Will be installing and checking to see how buttery it is for me.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I'm on one XxX as well rofl, the stock launcher is fine, in terms of scrolling between the screens with plenty of widgets and icons there is no lag at all. Perhaps too many apps on yours? :p

Usually there's never really lag as much as hiccups (with previous phones not the rezound)
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
Do people seriously still perpetuate that?

here, just look for yourself. http://frames-per-second.appspot.com/

make sure you're on a laptop or something, the rezound can't render the animation at 60fps
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
I will have to side with this statement. Running an a sop rom like slimrom on the rezound sadly runs much choppier than the Frankenstein version of cm9 I have on my much older dinc2. Doesn't add up to me. I almost exchanged my rezound for a dinc 4g today but got cold feet and decided against it. Rezound seems to me to be a better phone (hardware wise except for nfc and the s4 CPU) I hope for a strong future on my rezound when source drops.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Alright so I've been running both ICS Browser+ and Chrome, and So far ICS Browser+ gives me the smoothness I want and need. Chrome has some pretty cool features (like when i touch to select one of many options and it makes a pop up of the options closest to where I touched to make an easier selection), but it IS a bit choppy. So far my launcher is still running very smoothly, not choppy at all except for directly after turning on the device (not unlocking). I think its Tablet Mode that makes the launcher smoother, I noticed that when running CleanRom DE w/o Tablet Mode enabled, all launchers run choppy (Apex is smoothest...ish) except for Trebuchet, that one works great, but you get no Tweaking with it. When I switch to Tablet Mode Apex, Trebuchet, and Nova work Great (In that Order from best to worse).

Hopefully that helps some of you out in making a selection, Tablet Mode is pretty cool and nothing really breaks when doing it except for when you connect to a PC, the option to pick Hard Drive or Charge Only does not show up, You have to set it up as a default option before connection and set to dont ask.
[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
nova is the smoothest (perceptibly) for me. Yes, this is purely a subjective comment... but on desensed roms compared to apex it is smoother regardless of apex settings. (don't get me wrong, I like apex... just not as smooth)

Now as to why one has better results than another with the same launcher? Well, many have already pointed out that individual perception varies. One might be satisfied with 24fps while another see's lag all the way to 60. Combine that with the variations in hardware (not every rezound is exactly the same internally), variations in firmware/rom versions and viola! You get all the comments in this thread. ;-)
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
How does one enable this tablet mode you speak of?
[HTC Rezound] bbeaulieu:
So, not sure if this has been brought up yet, but on Venom it seems the stock ICS launchers (Nova, Apex, etc) run much smoother than they do on the typical Sense 3.6 ROMs. It's not quite 60fps and as buttery as the G-Nex but it's definitely much better than what we've been seeing. Definitely worth trying.
