[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
Just change the size of the recovery partition in cLK to 7MB, commit the change, reflash the cLK NBH again, reboot to cLK, change recovery partition size back to what you set I the earlier step, commit changes, see if recovery boots.

The logic is- When you change a partition size in cLK, the underlying data is not destroyed. So when you set recovery as 7MB first, that layout will remain when you flash cLK the second time, just the marker for recovery will default to 5MB. Redoing the same partition layout will give recovery the needed space AND it will already be there in a 7MB partition, so it should boot.

I have never tried it for recovery, but have done this for /data and it works. Try it.

Alternatively, you can change the order of the positions and move cache to recovery's place, reflash cLK and then set the order again (cache to recovery's place).

Read up the cLK thread and the NAND bad Bocks thread, and sure there are creative solutions :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kokotas:
Unfortunately, the way it works now does not allow to change 'recovery' partition's order from the phone's menu(cause then you'll need a pc to reflash recovery and the purpose is to be pc-free).

You can do it through fastboot commands but this is not applicable in DramatikBeats' case since the USB port on the phone is broken.

So all that I could think of to help is to create a *.nbh file which has the recovery partition at 2nd place (after an empty one). I have tried it on my phone and I can enter to recovery as usual.

Didn't try any other feature!

If the problem insists, then maybe the hardware problem extends beyond the broken USB port...Can't be sure:confused:

Thank you for trying mate. Still getting the same error so I believe the phone is busted. The fact that MAGLDR couldn't boot up past the GO GO GO screen and CLK being stuck at a similar point leads me to think that this phone is now R.I.P. unfortunately. Would of been nice to have this guy as a second phone since he's served me well throughout the years. Thanks again though!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I have one and it works great with Shadowgun, Riptide and other games but when I tried to use it with Dead Trigger it doesn't seem to be able to map the buttons. I press the escape button on the controller and the game asks if I really want to quit so I know the game sees the controller it just won't let me set it up. I tried all the buttons and the escape button is the only one that works. Any Ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] privatebox:
I sadly bought one of these controllers as well and at this point wish I had not. The problem lies in the fact that this "gamepad" is detected as a keyboard by the Prime. The easiest way to test this is to open up a text editor on the Prime and start pressing buttons you will notice that the "gamepad" is mapped to W A S D and various number keys (1-9)... For these same reasons you can't use this controller with USB/BT Joystick Center as it detects as a keyboard (actually this was how I figured this out was by using the controller detection testing APKs on the forums site of the creator of USB/BT Joystick Center... If only I had figured this out closer to when I bought it so I could return it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
That sucks. I'll give my Wii controller a try then and if it doesn't work I'll find a used PS controller since Sixaxis seems so popular.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] privatebox:
Yep I have had a Dual Shock 3 on my list of things to get for a while now, those and the XBOX Wireless controllers work the best from what I have seen, with the latter needing an extra adapter (why I am going with the former as well).

I have to have the regular usb power cable plugged into it for it to work with my TV and that charges my phone.

So it can also function as a 6ft power extender for charging if you don't use the HDMI part.

Happy with it for the price.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Easiest way to root is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root kernel.

Here is the thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root

In Post #8 you will find CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip which will work fine for your ROM.

Just download this kernel and flash it with Odin to your phone - as described in the first post.

If you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter after flashing the CF-Root kernel, just use TriangleAway app from Chainfire (there is a link to it in the first post).

Good luck !

[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Hi there,

I would like to know how are the best phones popular and which one is the best. That is why I created this poll. If you would like me to add something in the poll, then just let me know, okay? :D

I am so eager to see the results.

Phones, that currently compete in this poll: Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Google flagship phone), Samsung Galaxy S III (Samsung flagship phone), HTC One X (HTC lagship phone), Motorola Razr Maxxx (Motorola flagship phone), Sony Xperia S (Sony flagship phone)

Note: Actually, Sony Xperia Acro S is better than Sony Xperia S. Anyway, I did not choose it because most people do not know, that this new beast is around. They are both really good, but Acro S is slightly better.

Feel free to post below.
[General Questions and Answers] kyokeun1234:
Galaxy Nexus IMO. Especially with new Jelly Bean :) Although it's duel core and not quad core, it is as smooth as GS3 and also there are tons more ROMs and such. Also I really like the fact that you can easily root by fastboot commands :)
[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
The Nexus will stay relevant for years to come so it's a better option in development terms.

However, for anything else, I'd say SGS3.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
The Atrix HD is more of a Motorola flagship phone, despite a smaller battery it has better internals, and better screen (also shipped with ICS as opposed to being upgraded).

I'm on the xda app so I can't vote, but I think I'm going to vote for the Nexus, pure Google and fast updates.
[General Questions and Answers] MissionImprobable:
I like the Nexus for the on time updates, but in all other categories I prefer the Xperia, especially in terms of design.
[General Questions and Answers] SachinShekhar:
I am wondering to see how I am the first one to vote Samsung Galaxy S3. Man, it has beaten HTC One X in almost all benchmarks...
[General Questions and Answers] xPXGx:
The S3. Sure, the Nexus gets first dibs on official OS updates, but ROMs can fix that for pretty much any other device. You can alter the software, not the hardware ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Cusa:
The atrix HD is a downgrade from the original atrix if you look at the specs. Razr maxxx is Motorola's flagship device for now.
[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
Gotta be the s3, beats out the one x in every aspect so that's no competition. The razr is a joke, as is any Motorola phone to be honest. Uggghhh, motoblur. The only thing close to the s3 development wise is the nexus which obviously has more, but the s3's specs more than make up for that
[General Questions and Answers] NovAsL:
Nexus :).galaxy s3 looks awesome but samsung wont give software updates after they release g4 or smthing.

Uh...no.

OG Atrix is Tegra 2 1 GHz, Atrix HD is the S4 1.5 GHz (both dual core)

4 inch qHD screen vs 4.5 inch HD screen

And compare it to the RAZR Maxx

Atrix HD at 1.5 GHz S4, RAZR Maxx at 1.2 GHz TI OMAP (both dual core)

Atrix HD has 4.5 inch HD screen and Maxx has 4.3 inch qHD screen.

[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
That's my boy :D :good: I prefer it, too.
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Yeah yeah, but I am afraid, that Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie will not be officially available on Samsung Galaxy S III. I would have chosen Nexus because its cheaper on Android 4.1 faster and I dont like the look of Touchwiz.

I also hate "Designed for humans. Inspired by nature" Samsung actually lacks creativity. All the galaxy series are similar to iPhone appeareance and Touchwiz is similar to iOS. That is the only thing I hate about Samsung....that they copy everything. But Nexus has neither of it. S III has copied curved body of Nexus, too.
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Yeah, in my view, Nexus is the best option. Do you want me to add Atrix HD on the poll?
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Yeah, but Nexus is faster even though it has got proccessor with lower clock. But this processor was designed to run at 1.5 GHz so it can be overclocked easily without damaging your phone. I hae heard that Xperia has problems with the sensor buttons.

I also do not get why almost all the manufacturers make the "context menu button" when they come with Android 4.0. Its useless....S III could have had 3 buttons and instead of "context menu button" should have added the "recent apps button".
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Exactly :D
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Yeah but the S III looks like s**t. In other terms, I agree with you, but they are both about the same.
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Benchmarks dont mean much. Especially Quadrant, which is really bad. You can score 3000 but you wont be faster than newer and better device, which score 1500. I think that Samsung Exynos Quad core is faster than Tegra 3.
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
I am not really sure :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:

[General Questions and Answers] saltmine:
Typo or.... !!! ;)

I'll give my opinion on each of these phones.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus:

I have this. Updates on day one. Feels amazing to hold. On-screen buttons. It's really great.

Samsung Galaxy S III:

I have one. It is most likely the fastest phone on this list. Some of the special features are useless or broken, like S-Voice and SmartStay. But overall, it feels amazing to use. I've never had any lag on this phone. It doesn't feel as solid as the Nexus, though.

HTC One X:

I used one for a while, but didn't like it. Aesthetically, the design is one of the best. But ergonomically, its design fails. Who's idea was it to put the USB port on the side of the phone? It's so uncomfortable to use while charging. I don't care how nice it looks or how fast it is, if I feel annoyed every time I pick it up.

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx:

Don't have one. Get this one if you need extremely long battery life. Don't know too much about it, but I did not buy it since battery is not my first priority in a phone. But is this really Motorola's flagship device?

Sony Xperia S:

Don't have one and wouldn't want one. The design irritates me. What's with the huge empty space underneath the buttons? It just adds bulk. And how can you use this phone on a flat surface? It will wobble around with those curved sides. Also seems to lag like crazy in Youtube videos. The Xperia Acro S looks way better, but is this even released yet?

Overall, I'm voting for the Galaxy Nexus, with the GS3 coming very close as #2.

Shouldn't the LG Optimus 4X be on this list too? It's arguably equal to the HTC One X and very likely much better than either the Razr Maxx or the Xperia S.

I have one comment about flagship phones overall. It's easy to see what Google, Samsung, and HTC's flagships are. But as shown in this thread, it's rather difficult to see what Sony, Motorola, and many others are putting out as their top device. An example would be how Motorola has both the Atrix and Razr brands of Android phones. I don't see the difference; they are just competing with themselves. Why not combine the benefits of each into one superior device? I like how Samsung has done their line up Galaxy Y = low end, Galaxy S = top tier. It's easy to understand. Why don't other companies do this?

[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:

I also view the Nexus as the best flagship, but the RAZR Maxx now has a new boy on the block that's bigger and stronger (and looks very similar). I don't really mind since I'm not going to vote for it, I just felt like pointing it out...hehe
[General Questions and Answers] MissionImprobable:
Hey, I'm with you. I say reduce hard keys to a minimum; one less thing that could fail and render your two-year old phone useless.
[General Questions and Answers] blackout23:
Was there ever an official statement on why they clocked the Nexus at 1.2 Ghz instead of 1.5 Ghz? Stability issues

or Speed for Battery Tradeoff just not worth it?
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
I think that because of the battery. There maybe was not that big speed boost so they underclocked it.
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Yeah and you can add some other buttons or change the color. For example ICS removed the context menu button...that makes other phones such as Xperia S or S III useless(not whole phone but this button) If there ever comes up new Android version with different buttons, it will be easy for Samsung Galaxy Nexus to optimize for it.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Also, CM9 (and CM10 should also include this), it allows you to customize the soft buttons. But it has been a rather uselss feature with only the Gnex having on screen buttons (now Atrix HD which was just released yesterday).

For my next phone, I'm going to be sure for it to have on screen buttons. The search key is back!
