When installed will all the games, apps, etc work like on any other tablet? What should i expect when installing such early builds currently available?

You should expect some stuff not to work. The KF is spoofed as a different device in the market in most ICS/JB roms which helps show more apps (that would otherwise be incompatible for the KF on 2.3) but may also cause issues, and personally all my apps worked and 90% of games have worked.

How is the battery life, does having Jelly bean drain the battery. should i expect decent use per charge?

Too early to tell, if we had to guess it's like ICS which drains a bit faster than the stock roms

Would you say performance on a stock kindle is better then having say Jelly bean or ICS?

Depends on what you mean by performance. Jelly Bean has butter (new UI tech) and once the hw codecs are in it should be very fluid. I find that it *feels* faster than on stock but that may be because of amazon's clunky skin

Will any app install from google play store on this custom jelly bean built? is there limitations i should be concerned about. possible glitches maybe? i know its early.

Expect glitches and limitations...it's beta at this point and even ics has issues

Will i have the ability to go back to stock kindle fire if i do not want to use jelly bean anymore?

You can always go back fairly easily (just flash the stock rom in recovery), or try dual booting

Will the device itself charge via USB or Plug in wall while operating jelly bean?

I haven't had success over usb, but plug in with stock charger (or another high amp one) works fine

Is there any major features in jelly bean that wont work due to it being a custom work? "maybe a stupid question"

there are features that don't work because of hardware - eg face unlock

What would you say the benefits are for having a custom android on the kindle fire including - Jelly Bean/ICS etc

very personal...i dual boot with modaco (a slightly modded stock) and jelly bean...i use modaco for amazony stuff (reading, prime video) and jb/ics for everything else...heck if you got it refurb like a lot of use you got a heck of a tablet for $139

Thanks very much and looking forward for more developments on Jelly bean for kindle fire. Also looking forward to reading more articles, and posts on xda.

experiment, read the ops, read through the full thread, give the devs some beer money, contribute, break your kf, fix it, and help others...that's what makes a great community...
[Kindle Fire General] sircarressith:
Thank you all very much for your thoughts and answers to my questions. Gave me a lot to think about. i shall go and install jelly bean. but i will wait for another release before i do it :).

Again thanks guys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meanderingmark:
Hi,

I've installed Google Apps on CM9 RC1, on my SGS2.

The sorting of the images in the gallery is all over the place. If I select "group by time", it seems to think most of my photos were taken in 2017. That can't be right. I assume there may be some problem in the way that the Gallery app detects the dates on the image files.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix? I've tried reinstalling Google Apps.

Thanks,

Anyone know why isn't there android 2.3.x only?? Isn't there 2.4 or above roms? I have request from devs.......can't you make android 2.4 or above?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faraz_fireboy:
U don't know anything about these version stuff do you?

There is no 2.4

2.1 = eclair

2.2= froyo

2.3= gingerbread

3.x = honeycomb (for tablets)

4.0.x = ice cream sandwich

4.1 = jelly beans

Is it important how did i send this?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jaykelso:
I relocked my bootloader and tried running a RUU but it keeps telling me that my phone is not connected. I'm using parallels for mac, I installed the drivers and I notice that when i connect the phone it doesn't say "fastboot usb" but when i push volume down is changes yet it still is unable to detect the phone. I installed the htc drivers but when I connect the phone is shows i dont have the drivers for " HTC Remote NDIS based device"

Could this be because im using parallels instead of a full windows pc?

please help, this is my very first android device and im scared I already ruined it :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Yeah parallels is touchy. It works in VMware. Make sure in vm settings the usb device for the phone is set to always available to windows. If it is set to ask then it can lose connection.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jaykelso:
Ok, Ill give a try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jaykelso:
I still have another problem. When I try to install the htc drivers, I get an error saying device not found. How am I able to install the drivers now?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I found the best way to get the driver installed is to install HTC sync
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jaykelso:
Thanks for the replies gunnyman, I have one last problem and hopefully theres a fix. I have a low battery and unable to flash the RUU. Is there a fix?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Is there battery actually low? Just shut down the phone and charge it up. :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jaykelso:
When I plug in the phone, it boot up on its own into fastboot and it says "fastboot ac". Is it charging?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Sorry. No idea. Sounds like it.

So you don't want to unroot you just want to use the stock rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sqwigy224:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726558

see if this helps. i know when i had to unroot it worked and kept all my data but if you are taking it back to the store for warranty you may want to try the app called "triangle away". the app makes it so they cannot tell if you have flashed any ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dz2k:
check out the development section for how to go back to stock. once i got it back up and running..i also went to settings, privacy to do a system reset as i didnt want them to see superuser app when i took my phone in to the store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Daviddc1144:
I am still running the stock Rom, I just rooted the phone and flashed clockwork recovery.. I'm trying to do a factory data reset. To reset the phone back to the out of box state. I am under the assumption that when a phone is rooted and a custom recovery is flashed you can not just go into settings and factory reset your phone or you will brick it. Am I correct in this assumption? And if I am corect what I think I have to do is flash the original recovery, then I can reset the phone to factory settings which will wipe it back to stock and remove the root.. correct? I am just not sure where to get the factory recovery. Doesn't clockwork recovery replace the factory recovery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] justinblaine23:
Yes factory reset after having cwma will not restore back to stock. You''ll have to flash stock via computer or mobile Odin. The link provided above should be helpful
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bravomail:
If you just want to unroot - removing Superuser.apk, su and busybox works.

CWM will stay though.

Then do factory reset and format internal sdcard. That will remove all user data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Daviddc1144:
So.. if you have clockwork recovery, and you factory reset the phone, it will put the factory recovery back?

I thought trying to reset while having a recovery flashed would lock up the phone...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
If your still having trouble here, the answer this question & alot of others is at galaxys3root.com. It's one of Zedomax's sites that will give you clearly labeled & very easy to follow instructions to unroot for warranty return. He also includes a video where he will walk you step by step through the process. This is a great Site & you can find some great tutorials on the gs3, as well as rom reviews, so be sure to bookmark it! I hope I've helped:-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Daviddc1144:
no no, i dont want to just follow instructions.. i am trying to understand CWM. i know how to use it, but every phone i ever rooted i was never able to reset back to factory settings because i was never sure if it would screw my phone up and i am trying to learn if it is safe t do. Does CWM replace the factory hboot or just install along with it? if i am rooted and i have CWM flashed, can i still reset to factory settings like normal? and if i do what will happen? will i still have root and CWM?? can i reset back to factory in ANY rom i flash safely? all that resetting back to factory does is remove accounts and .data files correct?? when you do a wipe in CWM it removes the entire OS, then you flash whatever rom you want.. when you reflash the factory ROM, unroot and remove CWM, hboot is still there correct? you dont have to reinstall hboot, right? you just have to make sure you reflashed the original ROM and uninstall root and CWM and then your back to original right?? i am just trying to understand it all thats all.. i know i can follow directions, but i am trying to learn. any site i find explaining CWM, it just explains what it does, i am trying to learn HOW it works so i can feel safe and i dont have to worry about bricking my phone. i was always too afraid to reset any phone i ever rooted because i never fully understood how CWM worked.. i always thought of our phones as a PC, where as a PC has a recovery partition with the software backed up in it, and i always think CWM wiped it clear, so if i try to reset the phone it will be looking for a partition that's not there. but now i think my PC analogy is wrong, and all a factory reset does is remove the .data files, not re install the software.. im trying to figure which one is true..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dz2k:
after flashing stock back to the device, it also goes back to stock recovery. after boot, you still have all apps ex. titanium but once u open it will say no root access. u can then go to settings, privacy, and factory reset to get rid of titanium, etc so it is complete stock. no one would be able to tell of your past..lol. i was rooted earlier in week and made mistake of resetting to factory reset before unrooting. nothing bad happened and i unrooted and factory reset to take it to the store hope this clears up stuff.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dscott5683:
We should start a class action suit on Sprint, for charging the extra $10 for 4G LTE phones, and if it's not available in your area... Sprint shouldn't be charging the extra $10 until they deliver, cause there charging us for something there not giving us. I just want my $10 back for every month I've paid the extra fee for LTE, up until they deliver it. Who's with me!? Do the math, it adds up....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] karate134:
This has been discussed ad nauseum. The $10 is a premium not for the data, rather just for simply having a smart phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stresa:
Sprint customers have been paying this fee for a long time. Long before they were even talking about LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KLLSWITCH:
how are you gonna sue them for something you agreed to when signing the agreement when you bought the phone? that cracks me up:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] familyguy26:
You're basically paying for Sprint to build out their network. I wouldn't be surprised if they eliminate unlimited data once they are done rolling out LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBiles:
Hah! I remember this crybaby argument back when I had an EVO! It's a data fee, not a 4G fee. If you don't like it, feel free to drop your unlimited data and switch to another carrier.

This guy is funny lol this really made my night for now :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Ok soo to get this straight.

The $10.00 fee was originally labeled as a WIMAX 4G fee only for 4G phones.

Then people got all up in arms about not having wimax 4g coverage and still getting charged the fee.

So Sprint got smart and said let's make some money and re-label it as a "premium data" fee. And now it's charge to all phones that sprint considers high data use phones aka most smart phones.

OP I can give you a box of tissues to cry in if you'd like?

Everything above is exactly right. Although must add that I heard ppl who calld n *****d got the fee knocked off. And also must add, read ur contract, you can't start a class action suit. Thx for the lolz tho would rather read this than 50 post abt some dumb ass hard brickin

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Product F(RED):
You're right, and I have screenshots to prove it from when I disputed this with Sprint myself. Unfortunately there's no winning, but you're right:

Before (Evo 4G and Epic 4G just came out):

After people started complaining:

Funny, their network is still sh*t because they simply don't invest into improving the 3G part of it. Yes, yes I know all about Network Vision. It's been talked about forever and they've been working on it forever. Yet nothing has come of it. And that's why I left them for Straight Talk AT&T. This is coming from an ex-Sprint employee too.

By the way, this site has existed forever: http://explainthefee.com/

If you want to hear an interview with an actual Sprint employee about it: http://explainthefee.com/category/home/page/4/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] newuser134:
I signed a contract with them 2 years ago, and at the time they were calling it a "4G wimax" fee, many months after the contract start date, they started calling it a "premium data fee". Well, they didn't have 4G wimax in my area when I signed the contract, even though it's a major city where both AT&T and Verizon now have LTE, and seeing how things are going, Sprint eventually decided that wimax was a losing and obsolete technology so now they've decided to switch to 4G LTE, guess what, we're never gonna get wimax where we are now, and it'll probably be another 2 yrs before they might even get close to having LTE here. So that means waiting another 2 yrs to get the "premium data"? Meanwhile, now that they're trying to fund their LTE installation, somehow their CDMA 3G has got even worse than before, to the point that I barely even get a continuous data connection, my voice calls often say "network busy" or shows roaming, and data speeds average about 100 kbps when they used to consistently be about 700 kbps when I signed up for the contract. Needless to say, I got fed up and switched to Verizon. However, I agree with this post, why should i have to pay the 4G additional fee only for them to realize they could get sued and change the name of it to "premium data fee", only to figure out that they picked the wrong version of 4G so I have to wait another 2 yrs, and during the process not only not get "premium data", but now not ANY data? I already paid for it for 2 yrs, and where did that get me? I agree, they should return people's extra $10 if they failed to improve their service during this entire time, and if you switch due to their non-existent data and voice service, they should also void your ETF becuase it is their fault. I never wanted to go to Verizon, so why should I have paid the extra $10/month only to have to switch carriers now?

How does it go to proceed with suing them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Product F(RED):
More proof from before:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OneStepAhead:
The $10 fee has nothing to do with 4G / LTE though, so what would the class action suit be over? Its basically just a fee that they charge on devices they think use more data, has nothing to do with 4G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johntiger:
When they first started charging it with the release of the original EVO I was very upset because I could never get WiMax to work anywhere. But after all the other carriers just discontinued unlimited data I think the extra $10 charge is well worth it to subsidize my heavy internet usage
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Not that it really matters now. But you have had a couple chances to get out of your contact ETF free over the past 2 years. This was due to changes Sprint made with in their TOS.

2nd I got am error message saying the device requires too.much power.

What the heck? Is.there some way to hook up a sixaxis? I was using a USB otg cable

I thought a benefit of.this thing was PlayStation certification? And while we are on the subject where is the PlayStation mobile app?

Not sure about plugging it directly into the phone. I have used mine through the livedock from Sony. The ion dock should support it if you get that.

Excuse me LiveDock? Whats that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stiffi2011:
Found the Apps, thanks!

As for the Controller, I did try to plug directly in. No such luck. It worked on my Galaxy Note. I was hoping since this is a Playstation Phone, this would work directly. I may have to buy the dock. This is certainly not the only reason I got the phone but it was a selling point.

It seems my search for the "Perfect Phone" contiues. When I first jumped into Android it was for the Xperia Play. I thought the game controls would make it the best phone. Well, it had other shortcomings as we all know. Chiefly for me was the camera. No Zoom was a big one. I have since been through about 15 phone and tablet combinations including: Galaxy Tab, Note and Skyrocket. Sony Tablet S, Xperia X10 and X10 mini. Motorola Atrix, Xoom, Razr and Backflip, the Acer Iconia Tab, Both Dell Streaks and the Archos G9.

All I really want is something on which I can Game, that also has a good camera. I'm still holding out hope that the ION will fit that bill. Maybe a dock will help.

how do you use yours spectre?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Yes

No software, NFC or Bluetooth. With a keyboard and mouse it practically is a mini PC. I have used my livedock with the PS3 remote plugged into it with my Xperia S to play Dead Trigger and Shadowgun on the HDTV through HDMI. Also have my mouse connected to play some big screen angry birds. Gonna do some testing for someone on te Sony forums with keyboards and mouse. You can also plug in a USB harddrive or thumb drive to get extra OTG storage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
so the ps3 controller is plugged into the dock and so is the phone.. and this works with the ion too?

i just looked at more pics of the livedock as far as i could see it just had the one usb female in the back i'm guessing u plug ur charger into the back of the dock? and then that lil dongle goes to the phone? and then the reg USB port on the back is where u plug in the controller? or ur keyboard or mouse? how could u do both at once? would it run a usb hub?
