[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
agreed with above and you can theme it

by me, for me and I love you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Ive had issues with bad restores on TWRP as well as a few others I know where force closes would randomly start happening I don't see any difference other than themeing which is nice but reliability > customization.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Interesting. I'm interested in TWRP because it let's you read/flash from an encrypted /sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
ive had no problems with it. i made the switch because i needed the compression.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Well don't let my experience keep you from it. Its usually reliable. But I did have some issues. Just to let you know it can mess up sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
and thats why i dont use cwm, because it tends to mess up/has bugs. ive never had a problem with twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Huh? I've never er had issues with cwm... can't say that for twrp...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Better or worse depends on what you want I guess.

I use CWM 5.5.0.2 because it is extremely stable, and it is NON-touch. The touch-enabled CWM is NOT stable.

For me, having a touch-enabled recovery is silly -- I am in recovery to fix something or flash something, and I don't need a touch interface where I can accidentally touch the screen and it will do something I don't want. And I certainly do not want themes on my recovery. Hell, I don't even use themes on my ROMs...

From my point of view, the only benefits to using TWRP is the ability to decrypt data while in recovery (although I don't use encryption, so...) and compression. I can't comment on TWRP stability, as I have not used it long enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blazingcaloy:
Very well said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Thanks everyone. I'm going to play with TWRP later and if it appears stable I'll use it and encrypt. I'm a very privacy conscious person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjcapp:
I did some research and TWRP looked good. I installed TWRP yesterday. I've made a backup and its very quick. I did not restore yet. I too have not had enough seat time to comment on reliability. .

I'm still confused whether or not I have to or should remove CWM apps or leave them installed? I paid for CWM touch. No biggie I spend more for a coffee at Starbucks.

Is it OK to leave both installed and to go back and forth between the two recoveries if needed? Is anyone keeping both available?

I understand the backups are not interchangeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smccall:
Yes I would leave both back ups installed because you never know if twrp will mess up or clwmod but I highly doubt clwmod will. They are not interchangeable but clwmod can be flashed through rom manager in case your twrp fails and your not near your PC. I wouldn't use rom manager for nothing else but to flash clwmod its very unstable.

I'm using twrp and I have been looking for a thread like this and I'm glad its came about because lately I have had some zip files that will flash but doesn't get applied I'm using twrp but have always used clwm.

This is what I want to know and I'm hoping for a very experienced xda member to help me make my decision. I have problems making decisions when I don't have enough info or I'm not satisfied with the info I have read. I have scoured google and I have read as much as I can on the differences but there's not much on which is better. My last question is if I choose to go back to clockwmod and if I do it won't be touch is it better to flash a zip or can I count on rom manager to flash it because I won't use it to do anything else only because im a firm believer in if you can't flash manually then you shouldn't be flashing. Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knive13:
Just want to ask if there is a usb and wifi tethering for s3? Just got my s3 and upon looking on the sttings there is no teghering option. Hoping for ur feed backs. New around here at samsubg forum came from x10 forum.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
One of the biggest features that reviewers kept touting was this thing's ability to fire off 20-100 pictures in a blast, and that the shutter speed is near instantaneous.

In the month I've had this phone, I've...never quite experienced this. Usually when I take a picture, it'll kind of pause for a second and then go. Not terribly slow or anything. Still a bit faster than any other camera I've had. However, if I hold down the button in an attempt to capture more than one picture, the result is this:

It'll often pause for about 2 seconds, then one little preview image will "pop" over to the icon in the corner, and then I can hold the button down for 6-8 more seconds, and after it "saves photos" the result is 4. I think the most I've ever gotten is 5. If I have the sound on, it'll make the "shutter" sound like 3-4 times a second, but I'll still only end up with 2-4 pictures. Usually takes one picture about 2 seconds after I press the button, and then one picture taken right as I took my finger off the button. Also, unlike the previews i saw where each picture from burst mode is a nice action shot, I just get 4 images that are completely out of focus 80% of the time.

As far as I know, this is the same whether I use the physical or software shutter button. Is this..normal behavior?

Edit: Wow what do you know. I just tried it 4 more times because I'm sitting here thinking about it, and one of the times I actually got 9 photos! At least I know it's capable of it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
I get several photos in burst mode. But I definitely don't get as many as the shutter sound goes off. Frequently I expect 8 or 10 But only get 3-5. But I have gotten as many as 15.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
Turn off the image cap in the camera settings. I don't remember which drop down it's in, sorry. It helps a lot though. Just remember that I'd toy take too many pictures, it'll take a while to load.

Tapatalked from my shiny new HTC Evo LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kurtiskobain:
Not currently running sense, but when I did it worked great...took dozens of pictures, instantaneously with 0 lag

I'd say a factory reset is on the horizons...or a trip to your local s&r center
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ilusnforc:
Where are your pictures being stored? Does it save them to on-phone storage or does it save to a micro-SD card? If you're using a micro-SD card, that may be the cause of the delays. Check what class the card is, should have a letter "C" printed on the card with a number inside it indicating what class it is. A class 4 card is pretty common and inexpensive. A class 10 card has much faster read/write speeds but is also more expensive. Many DSLR cameras (especially ones that do 1080p video) have minimum card class requirements in order to quickly write pictures to the card while shooting quick bursts or high resolution video.

^ If that's the case, you could probably change the setting to store the pictures/video to on-phone or internal storage and I would presume it should perform as advertised until you are able to obtain a higher class card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
I have a class 10 card in there that it saves the pictures to. I bought it because it had great reviews for it's speed. I can imagine if the "saving photos" step would lag if you had a slow card, but I don't know why simply the act of taking a picture would be any slower. I guess I could test it out, but that would make me kind of mad if so.

Another thing I just noticed. If I launch the camera app by pressing the camera icon, it pops up almost immediately. If I press the physical camera button in order to launch the camera app, it takes about 4 seconds to launch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Did you do an actual test on the "class 10" card? Get SD Tools and run it. Post the screenshot here. Also did you format the SD card with the phone or with your PC? It does make a difference. Try saving pictures on the actual phone storage and then post results. You can't use a SD card and then complain it doesn't work as stated. From the sounds of it it's your SD card's fault or you just got a faulty device. Also make sure to turn off the picture cap like someone stated.

If that doesn't fix it and a factory reset doesn't either (make sure to clear Wallet settings before doing this if you use it) then the phone is defective because I and many others (as a matte of fact from a quick search this is the first thread regarding this) don't have the problem. The only thing we all have though is the physical button vs screen button opening lag. I remedied this by just setting a shortcut on my lockscreen to camera, I think HTC is aware of this issue though.

EDIT:

That definitely sounds like your SD card isn't capable of keeping steady speeds to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] getitoutme2:
While I don't get an 'icon pop' for every photo captured, I've had no problem getting 20+ photos in burst mode. Although, I will say it seems depend on what you're capturing. Just one example being: If flash is on (or is on auto and used) and I try to get a burst shot I'll usually only get between 10 - 15. Class 6 micro SD, here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] josh030181:
Where is this image cap setting, i looked in all the drop down menus and can't find it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] everyday17:
I just tried it twice and I got 20 photos each time, does that mean I also have an image cap on? (no SD card)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
Under Continuous Shooting.

Tapatalked from my shiny new HTC Evo LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Your phone must be messed up. I have used continuous shooting from day one and it works as advertised. Like others have said what settings are you using under camera. I'm on MeanRom and have never had a problem. For a test a changed my continuous setting to 50 pics instead of 20 and it took all 50. Also, a class 10 card is a waste of money unless your using it in a camcorder or 18mp camera. You won't see any benefits in a phone. Class 4 is more than enough speed for this phone and any phone. If you look at what the class numbers mean it is strictly speed for writing not everyday access to the card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
I've noticed that how many pics it takes per second is pretty dependent on the shooting conditions and settings. Have you tried setting the camera back to default settings and shooting in daylight? It makes sense that it shoots slower if you have low light or settings are such that the shutter has to stay open longer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
True - to an extent. I'd say most cards on the market don't live up to their class rating. Especially if you are buying cheap cards off of Ebay or Amazon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
Actually, I'm curious to test this out. When I'm outside in ideal conditions and I want to take a picture, I simply frame the picture and snap a shot. When I use continuous shooting is when I'm indoors and I want to capture something crazy my pet bird is doing, and lighting conditions are maybe less than "perfect".

I'll try taking the cap off. I noticed there was a cap, but since I never got to 20, I figured why do I need to take it off anyway.

Also don't worry about the SD card. I'm a pretty frugal shopper. I probably looked through the reviews for about 45 different 32gb microSD's on newegg before I decided on this one. Then, I used a combination of coupons and small gift cards to get it down to $2. I certainly didn't pay much :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
Under "Continuous shooting" deselect "Limit to 20 frames." I just took 53 in a row, no problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 84guy:
use the internal storage. its write is almost 30 MB/s compared to class 10s being 8-10 MB/s (my pny class 10 is 8 MB/s write)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
The zero lag camera, excellent quality with pics, macro, video etc are some of the best aspects of this cell. Coupled with the Mic, noise canceling filters, low light filters its truly amazing. Ask any iPhone user who compared, they will tell you the truth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
Was on stock and now the team pkmn rom, and my camera always works as advertised. Using a class 4 32g. I'll snap off 20-50 pics pretty unbelievably fast. After I'm done, I do notice a moments hesitation though, especially with 50ish shots .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
i cant get passed 45..but could care less because i keep the 20 limit cap on anyways...I may unlock the cap at the Pepsi 400 this weekend. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I was able to get 29 shots in about 10 seconds. I believe I have a class 4 card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
When doing 1080p video recording, having a higher class SD card is certainly a good thing. It may not always get up to the full 8mbps write speed capabilities of my class 10 card, but it is very convenient. Transferring things via USB cable is quicker, many things are noticeably quicker than when I had my class 2 card.

I so agree with you bro.... the devs are just doing all of this for free. Which ever any of us use is just icing on their cake. To them it just means that their knowledge has paid off.

Too many choices out there to make one single decision. Carry 1-2-3-8 roms in ur card. Choose a diff one everyday of the week. And one day it will make its mark that the one your using will meet all your needs. Until then........ PLEASE!!!!! Read instructions and follow devs install guides. Their there for a reason. Don't be one of the many that post treads about how they didn't research and ended up with a paperweight.

Thats my .02¢
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I don't mean to sound politically incorrect here. But I don't think devs do this for us at all. If I had the talents to dev my main reason for developing would be my own personal gains in being able to improve the experience with that shiny new device I've been wanting. Then after I would upload my work for anyone else if they wish. Hopefully cash in some sweet donations if my work is THAT good. But I will never ever believe that devs do it "for us". All devs are hackers. And hackers all hack for the same reasons. Personal gain and attention. Just my 2 cents.

Self made or flashed someone else's..if you make a donation that was on your good nature and mind set but no one has put a gun to nobodies head saying pay me for my stuff... it a bit irritating to see common users like myself be actually ungrateful for the things that they are able to do.

Yes I know, I'm talking out the side of my mouth but truth be told, since I started here I have not had to pay one red cent for any of the stuff I've used. . One thing I have payed for its the respect to say THANKS for every single byte I have used.

I don't know half the stuff they talk about. But you know, I'm glad they do. And I'm glad that they as " hackers" do what they do. Without it. And all the things they do, it would be a darn boring life.

I know its of the subject but its very inconsiderate for anyone to say that they have payed for all they have modded on their phone. Even apps out of Google have free versions. !!!!!!

Honestly.. I'd pay for a rom. A dev would work that much harder if he was getting paid for the work he did. Anyone remember bonsai?

[Kindle Fire General] martimat000:
I can't post this in development, as I do not have a superior ranking in XDA. I have figured out a build.prop tweak that will make your Kindle Fire with ICS look like a Nexus 7. I am running the CM9 based off of SGT7 ROM. This might not work the same as it did on the ROM I am using.

This will most likely work on other tablets, but I cannot guarantee it.

THIS WILL CHANGE SOME OF YOUR APPS TO THE PHONE VERSION.

**DISCLAIMER**

**I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE BASED ON YOUR ACTIONS**

Now that the standard things have been said, on to the fun!

REQUIREMENTS:

ROOTED KINDLE FIRE

ICS INSTALLED ON DEVICE

Process:

Install any app that can modify the build.prop file.

Find the setting for LCD_density and change it to 170 or 213. 213 is the Galaxy Nexus Official DPI, therefore it will not break app compatibility.

The smaller the number, the smaller every element will be, (I.e. the status bar) so 161 will be the smallest with the nexus 7 interface.

Reboot your device and you should be done!

Congratulations! You now have the look of JellyBean on your device!

If you would like to change back, just switch the LCD_density to 160 again.

Thanks:

twa_priv for his ROM

[Kindle Fire General] Zyxxeil:
Cool finding but it will break many app compatibility including the Play Store.
[Kindle Fire General] martimat000:
It didn't for me...

Switching to anything above 160 will make it look like the Nexus 7. Im using it at the moment at 161, and haven't lost any compatibility.

Dont you need something like button savior?
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
