Hello ALL!

I am new to the site and had recently checked out Charlos_OOO and HBK19's threads on making your home screens look like xbox dashboard(BIG KUDOS GUYS IT'S AWESOME) so anyway i set my own version up. Then i had an idea to really mirror xbox dashboard by putting small maybe 2x3 or so widgets that looped a video clip of a game trailer or movie or something just to really give it that dashboard feel. I was amazed to find no widget apps that did this...well there are some but they don't stick to a particular home screen, instead they "float" and are visable with every homescreen you go on even while in the web (they sorta stay in the foreground per say). So i decide to dabble in creating my own widget..unfortunately app widget classes for video don't seem to exist when ever i try to make a video type widget it only comes out as a sorta of video player that floats but does not stick to the home screen lol if it even does that... anyway any thought from anyone on this? i did check the forums i see other people have asked similar questions but to no avail. any feed back would be much appreciated:fingers-crossed: it would be icing on the cake to really make your home screen look like Xbox Dashboard.

There are so many on the s3. Which one do I choose as I want a better battery life and performance but also still has touchwiz...

Could someone provide me with a guide if there is one for rooting and putting recovery on the device as I have no idea how it works on the s3.

Easy Peazzy......

Go to the Original Developement thread....find Chainfire Root/CW and flash the latest ones. Now your rooted

as for Roms i never recommend them as i can find something GOOD to say about almost all of them, we have good Devs here right now. so just flash away and see what fits your user profile.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
Honestly i have seen any Rom that has better battery life by a big enough margin to say its that great. The Kernels is where i see the most battery improvement, no OC w/UV helps out. but the battery on this phone has been Impressive on ANY rom.......just MAKE SURE to cycle the battery once for at least every rom battery is going to be a big factor.

im using MiUi right now........and i must say the it has the Worst battery that i have ran into on the S3, but i still get 13-14 hours with 3-4 hours of screen time.

Foxhound .8 with NEAKS Kernel i was getting 19-20 hours with 3-4 hours of screen time(with Light Flow) so besides MiUi Foxhound is my back up rom.

No OTA you will have to use Odin for your first Root/Flash or Mobile Odin. like i said if you go into the forum im SURE it is stickied.

Just Do It. It has instructions that you can follow that are certainly detailed enough to get it done quickely.....should take you all of 5-10 min to get root and CWM.

Easy answer.....is, it really depends on what you are flashing.

MOST things come in CWM flashable Zips, but some kernels and stock roms come in .tars which you will need odin or Mobile odin to get onto your phone....both are safe and both are easy.

So I love my s3 but one thing I hate and I think a lot of u do as well is the physical home button...the solution to this annoyance of having to press the home button two apps one is LMT the other button savior...both apps need root...I used LMT on my gnex...on my s3 using button savior and its great. I have it set to auto hide and appear on a right edge swipe...with no icon overlay to trigger..the soft keys are customizable in the pro version...its not for everyone but for me makes using the phone a bit easier.

I had the same complaint and so I figured out how to re-enable the softkeys that are built into ICS. I used to have a GNex and I really missed the softkeys. The only issue I have is that the touchwiz apps are built using an absolute size meaning that they get cut off when the touchkeys are enabled but Its not a big deal to me.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Hello.

Recently I've been noticing my U8800 being really slow even on simple tasks like, opening the Messenging or Gtalk app, using Swiftkey and other trivial tasks and I've been paying more attention to the free RAM the Aurora 4.1.

While taking a closer look to the running apps I found the "Wipper App" com.qualcomm.wiper. Well the name sounds suggestive and the qualcomm in the package name makes it sound important but being curious I tried to find what the app really does but google didn't help much.

Turns out it shows a lot xda posts with BatteryStats and similar apps dumps, a bunch of chinese sites and a few "download insert_seach_string here" spam sites.

So... does anyone know what it really does? Is it some sort of task/memory manager from qualcomm?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You can safely delete it (I always do), and you're correct, it's somewhat of an automatic task killer. Since android 2.3 it's even discouraged to use task killers, the system does it automatically.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Well, but it comes on the default Aurora install which is built from the AOSP, seems weird to have superfluous stuff even when dzo and everyone else clearly showed concerns about RAM issues.

I've uninstalled some less important apps, rebooted and the Wiper is no longer taking some RAM, still I bet it'll show up sooner or later.

Now I have >90MB free and the phone is clearly more fluid. It's been a while since I used a 2.x ROM but using this phone on Aurora with the free RAM below 70MB is pure masochism!

Too bad this phone doesn't come with 768MB or 1GB of RAM... I'm already used to charging everyday so the battery isn't a big issue... but lag and stuttering really makes me throw the phone out the window.

[HTC ChaCha] huerix:
Does anyone get charging problem with HTC ChaCha after unlock bootloader via htcdev and root it with CWM?

About 2 months ago my htc chacha returned from htc service center after repairing keyboard issue. As you my chacha keyboard sometimes didn't respond verywell on some key stroke. I complained this to htc center and they confirm that was the common issue on chacha, before me there were another persons complained the same issue. 3 weeks later my chacha returned to me, htc said that they changed my old keyboard with the new ones. I didn't check very detail my chacha and it seems all things still works properly.

The day after that I unlocked my chacha via htcdev way and then root it with cwm, all process run very well, my chacha got rooted and unlocked and I didn't make any other changes beside both (unlock and root).

The problem happened several days later, my chacha run out the battery and then turn off automatically. So I get my charger and put it on my chacha, the LED indicator turns red, indicate that it was charging. The problem happened here, I pulled out my charger before the charging process done and the LED indicator still lights red, I tried to turn on my chacha by press the power button and nothing happened, it still off and LED lamp still lights red. The only way thing to fixed is by pull out the battery then put it back, my chacha back to normal and I can turn it on again by pressing the power button.

I guess this problem was caused by unlocked bootloader and rooted, does anybody here have some similar problem like me? I haven't try to revert back my chacha to original state (locked and unroot) so I still confusing what's caused this issue.

If my story is too long I can explain it in simple way, maybe like this :

I got an issue with my chacha, that is my chacha goes hang when charging it on powered-off, the LED lights red and if you pull out the charger the LED won't off and still lights red. The only way thing to fix this is by pull out the battery. That problem didn't happen when the phone is charging on powered-on. I guess this caused by unlocking and rooting.

Sorry for the long post and please be advised for my bad english :)

UPDATE

Problem solved, the solution is update cwm to the latest version. Use fasboot mode to flash the old cwm with the new one.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Update your CWM to the latest version. This problem has been discussed in the CWM thread and it is fixed.
[HTC ChaCha] huerix:
Thanks Alex, could you give me the link about it?

Hmm.. silly question, if I want an OTA update is that mean I must flash my chacha back to stock rom, install the OTA updates and then root it again? Flash back to the stock rom will cause root status back to unroot, right?

1. It's the CWM thread in dev section.

2. Yes.

[General Questions and Answers] SferaDev:
Before buying a new phone search for this:

1. Compatible with a stable version or Nightly version of CM9-10 or any other supported rom. (That means that is a device it’s currently developed.)

2. Listen what the device users say in the forums. (They have one they know their behavior problems)

3. Search for a recovery or a backup for the device OS. (You will be in guarantee so find a solution for any problem can succeed)

4. Look if the OS version is upper than 4.0 or recent 4.1.X (Gingerbread it's OK but it's going old each day, Jelly Bean seems a stable version)

5. Look the specs and the price. (Analyze the price with the specs it have)

Hope it was useful

Aahh, it's a tough decision.
