Not sure about your bank, but you can get a Debit Mastercard with Commonwealth Bank at 16 and over (I got one a while ago). Before that I was stuck with the Commonwealth Keycard.

If you don't want to do that then have a look at some of the prepaid options like the Load&Go Reloadable Visa Prepaid cards from AusPost. You can load them by cash or EFTPOS.

Wondering if anyone knows of a kernel for our phones that have loop device support and mhl to hdmi out.

Im looking to be able to boot linux and have it up on the big screen.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
I have tried this on both my Razr ICS and my gf's Galaxy Note ICS and it works.

On both phones, they are pretty fast until you start to install stuff.

After applying these, the phone is much smoother even with around 200 user apps.

1) Use Autokiller memory optimisation, root needed.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&hl=en

This is a common method which android veterans already know, which is to change android's internal autokill values. This is not the same as task killers!

On both phones, I use "aggressive" preset.

For other tweaks like V8 supercharger, it's recommended values are closed to autokiller's "Extreme".

I added more tweaks to the post.

2) Turn on Force GPU rendering under developers mode. Most games and apps seem to work fine with it on.

3) Turn on background process limit to 4: I thought this is interesting (from JerseyFF) so I tried it out, seem good for daily use.

(update: after a while setting for this will revert to standard, there's no way to fix this yet)

4) Use Nova launcher. (root required for Motorola widgets)

The default launcher is smooth but it likes to reload every now and then (even with default autokill values). Tried Apex launcher but it's not as smooth as default launcher. Nova launcher is close to the default launcher which allow more tweaks and and yet it is buttery smooth. Do not update to beta though. I tried it and it's a lagfest.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en

VM heap size app no longer works after ICS update. If anyone knows how to fix that, please share.

Feel free to add any more tweaks or tips to make RAZR ICS better.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JerseyFF:
Is this at all somehow related to the Background Process Limit that is able to be set under Developer Options with ICS now?

It has a Standard Limit setting, No background processes, and At most 1 (through 4) processes for options.

Does anyone know what the value for Standard is?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
In background process limit, it limits a number of background apps running, while the autokill values limit the number of bg apps running based on the amount of memory left, and killing off lower priority processes first.

The default values for background process limit is therefore "varies".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
Updated first post with more tweaks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
This is my favorite launcher. Smooth... I am using it since I got the RAZR.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] greyanaroth:
Wow the auto killer is quite the find! Sped up my phone allot. Still running quite hot though :(

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Elsydeon:
Thanks for the info, I'll confirm that upon bootup after applying the Aggressive setting, I tried scrolling around the Motoblur homescreen and thought it was smoother. But then the Superuser allowance for Autokiller kicked in right in the middle of me scrolling around and I noticed quite a difference in scrolling speed, it just suddenly got faster and smoother and the framerate looked as if it had increased by about 5 FPS. I also did tweaks #2 and 3 as well, but I think Autokiller makes the biggest difference. A good find for sure!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
Use setcpu and create profiles to set cpu speed lower when screen off and when battery is overheating. There's a free, older ver on xda.

Also you can use juicedefender to make your 3g connection turn off when screen is off. This should also help keep your phone temp down when you're not using it. Note that it will turn itself on every few min to receive whatsapp, mms and emails etc. (not for whatsapp hoes)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] e-drian:
Hi, thanks for your tips. I don't know what lag experience you experiment but I hope this works for my RAZR lags. What is happen to my RAZR is that when I enter to apps drawer, non of the icosns appear and instead the "loading circle" takes place until the apps appears. Also when I exit any app and go to home, none of the icons of widget appears, they take half second to reapper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tudork:
Same here!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
That's called redraw. Try using apex and there is an option for keeping the launcher in memory so it loads faster

How can you use Motorola widgets in Nova? I can't find this function.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Moto widgets only work on moto launcher

Full-Throttle Team

moderator at bdhroms.freeforums.org
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
When I first installed Nova launcher, it asks for root access when going into widgets.

Try going to Nova settings ->Drawer-> Check Widgets in drawer (requires root permissions for system app)

Moto widgets like fav. contacts doesn't work well because I can't "pull down"... but it's there, including Motocast widget.

You may want to manually grant Nova launcher root access.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
This is why I'm using Nova launcher instead. There's a free version, do try it. It may still take a while to load the app drawer icons after playing a game, but the 'redraw' for Nova's desktop pages are pretty fast. I also liked how it switched to a tablet version when I'm using Webtop mode.

Do try Apex as well. I didn't like it as it felt laggy when I'm scrolling my desktop pages few months back. It may have improved now and many users are complimenting it. As for myself, I have already bought Nova Prime and I'm sticking to it.
[General Questions and Answers] bjrosen:
I've tried installing Vicious-TORO-JellyBean-V3-signed and Vicious-TORO-JellyBean-V4-signed on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Both got stuck at the boot screen. I gave them 30 minutes, that didn't help. I wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache, that didn't help. Pulled the battery, no go. Tried the tuna-jb-kernel-019b6.zip kernel, no help. I've tried installing from ROM Manager and directly from recovery.

Is there a trick that I've missed? Are there Jelly Bean ROMs that are know to work on the Verizon GN?
[General Questions and Answers] Tomson74:
I am running Vicious JB v3 on Faux kernel on VZW GNand have had no issues. I would recommend doing a full wipe, and then reinstalling. Do the full wipe, install Vicious JB v3, and then install the Faux Kernel for JB. I would stay away from Franco's Kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] bjrosen:
Won't a full wipe destry the backup?

Won't a full wipe destroy the backup? If it still doesn't work I'd be screwed without the backup.
[General Questions and Answers] sfehrman:
No A full Wipe is going to "Wipe Data/Factory reset"

It doesnt wipe your files, just the system files and your apps etc. So when you flash the rom and start it up, it is just like a new phone you have to sign into google and set everything back up

I also do not know about a V4, I am not sure where you found that at, but I havent seen it released yet.
[General Questions and Answers] bjrosen:
I'll give that a try

V4 is available in ROM Manager.

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I think this has to do with the patent dispute with Apple. HTC put a workaround in ics to get around it. That's why there is the App Association in the Settings. From my understanding, it also causes links not to work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indoline:
We got the S III last week, and been wanting to put up some comparison shots between the Nexus and the S3.

disclaimers:

- I use the nexus on daily basis, and have been for the past few months, so my opinion might be biased.

- the nexus is modded. the S3 is stock.

Feel: both phones feel about the same weight, however, to me, the S3 feels bigger when holding it (probably because of the bigger screen size). The nexus' textured body gives a much better grip than the S3s smooth body.

Display: You probably can't tell from the pictures, but the nexus has a curved display and the S3 doesn't. both displays are great, and with the right ROM/Kernel, they'd both look beautiful.

Performance: S3 feels faster than the nexus.. even with the stock ROM. Their hardware specs aren't the same, so no surprise there.

I was really waiting for the S3 to come out, as some of you may have as well. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try to answer all that I can.

Ever since the leaked and official release of ICS, I've been experiencing problems with my apps hanging. I don't know if its the ROM I'm using (both darkside 3 and 4.0.4) ICS, or the launcher (apex). I've switched to the stock touch wiz launcher a few times and experienced the app hanging so I don't think launchers are the issue, but since I've only been using darkside ROMs, I don't know if it's limited to the ROM or my phone. Pretty much after a few hours of use, I reach a point where I can't open apps or go into the app drawer yet I'm able to scroll through the home screens. I always have to restart my phone in order to fix the problem and even after running the darkside cache wipe, the problem persists. Is there any way to get past this?

Thanks to LorDClockaN (IceColdAOKP) for the device specific files and the vendor setup for AOKP.

So you get a pure AOKP synced with the latest AOKP changes with device specific fixes for the One X.

Changelog

same as AOKP - plus:

- Fixed Black-Screen on rotation

- Fixed button timeout (fix by tbalden)

2012/07/18

- Fixed some issues with Camera/Videorecording

I want to keep the main packages the same as in AOKP and just integrate device specific fixes - so no added features

Installation

Flash ROM

Flash GApps

Reboot into fastboot

Flash boot.img via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

Reboot

Bonus: No wipe required when you are currently on IceColdAOKP ;-)

He did, he said AOKP/AOSP, CM9 is covered under AOSP, and AOKP is just a derivative of CM9 anyway, building AOKP isn't any different than CM9 as the device specific stuff is the same.

The (seemingly) most efficient solution would be for everyone wishing to develop for an AOSP-based ROM to join tbalden and mdeejay in their TeamNDVRu organisation on GitHub.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
That wouldn't work, since they are in a way competing and all have different stuff, some are stock, but fast, some are based on leaked bases, some are totally customizable (LeeDrOiD and ViperX) etc., but CM9 is... well, CM9, so it actually makes *sense* (pun intended xP) to work on one rom

[HTC One X] ruizit0:
whats the main diferences between IceCold and this rom ?

the profiles .. and .. ?
[HTC One X] Quiksilver78:
Apples and Oranges.

Sense ROMs are based off HTC's official release. There is no such official release from Google for the HTC One X unfortunately. So until that happens, I just wish everyone could band together and release a pure AOSP ROM and THEN have developers apply their tweaks to their hearts' content, kanging the hell out of the AOSP build until they're blue in the face.

So far, these AOKP releases are like a virus. They all attach to one device tree, bugs and all, and virtually release the same (seemingly) ROM. When someone squashes a bug, they all copy it. It's just redundant work that could be channeled towards finishing one master build rather than having multiple ones floating around.

To give some food for thought, this is like having the CyanogenMod developers working individually to release their own version of CM9 or CM10.

Apologies for derailing this thread.
