I use GingerDX 028b and have no performance issues with it-every thing seems smooth to me-especially Nemus Launcher. Maybe you should try playing around in the performance settings-as long as you know what you are doing. Alternatively your could try out GingerXperia- i have heard it is fast.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realzahed:
GingerCrutz for Stock Kernel was the fastest rom.

Currently on GingerDX v28b and its feature loaded

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheXfan:
For me...

For me doesn't exist the "FAST ROM". All the roms are great here.

Just find "your rom", Try, and try, and try again.

I'm now in "FroyoBread" and is GREAT. Because I only use my phone to use social apps like Whatsapp. :p

It's very fast and light. But It just my preference.

You can optimizate the rom with overclock, supercharger, deoxed, oxed, and a LOT OF modules, just search, TRY AND TRY.

P.D: If you want grear perfomance you can unlock the bootloader, BUT IT'S VERY RISK IF YOU TRY TO UNLOCK A X8 WITH A 11W29+, IT'S HAS A 90+% OF HARDBRICK, SO, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS, FOLLOW ALLTHE INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS. I THINK YOU DONT WANT TO GET A BRICK. YOU WERE ADVICE. :good:

1) turn off all radios pull out the battery take out the sim card

2) turn on the phone

3) turn off the phone

4) cnnect to the charger and full charge

Put back yr sim card and u will see yr battery lasting longer

Info: the reason why this works because with all the radios and signal on, the battery sensro does not full charge because some of the power is being used by the phone features. The battery calibrator thinks that nothing is using the phone while its charging
[HD7 General] backlashsid:
I will try this and I am most certain that this will work.

I once swapped my phones battery with my friends, as his phone had the navigation on. After I inserted my own battery back and charged it fully. There was a tremendous performance increase

like 1% battery drop in like 4 hours of standby !

Amazing...must try !

This Forum is meant for the newest/latest roms .....e.g. AOSP, CM, or AOKP source builds. Kernels from factory source also can be posted here.

If you are porting a rom, it belongs in the normal development section, not here.

Stock roms should also be placed here The ones from Samsung themselves as in new versions, new updated versions can go here as well. Not ones you jacked, cooked or modified..... those go in the other regular development section.

Also, Roms an Kernels that bring forth something new in coding ideas or revolutionary changes that other roms do not have should also be posted here...

Thank you, oka1

Ok so in this picture and in the settings of a wall paper, when cropping what is this grid that is around my dog?

[HTC One X] lawrence750:
mine does it sometimes when charging, some people say using a different charger will fix it, but it hasn't for me..

saying that, i think its my 'dirty' power supply in my house, its an old house and electrics have a lot of interference, the problem doesn't happen to my phone whilst charging at work for instance.
[HTC One X] walaway:
I've experience this and these are my thoughts on this, although this wasn't specifically for the oneX:

Incompatible charger

-using a different branded charger, class A replicate.

Power supply/plug:

-I can't be sure of this I'm pretty sure every other gadget should have blown up if this is the case

Generally you lose control of your screen I'm thinking this would be hardware faults or just incompatible voltages.

I'd advice you to take your device and charger to the place where you bought it and test it there, or find an electeician friend :)

[HTC One X] lawrence750:
I think ill take my charger (the one that came with the phone, but presents the problem when home) to work, and see what happens.

Rather than it being too high a voltage from the plug etc, I think its the interference/noise on the power lines, my speakers (in the same room) have this buzzing sound when using an analog cable, I need to use optical to eliminate the sound. Problem never happened until I moved here, turns out the speakers should be shielded against this (they are z5500) but its on the net that others have the problem also.

All the opinions lead to interference on the power supplys in the building.

Another example in the same house I'm in:

Couldn't run a long 20 meter ish phone cable up the stairs, as the speed of internet deteriorated from 20mbit to about 2mbit. It was fine at my old house with speeds.

I ran an Ethernet cable upstairs instead, just the standard utp, its the twisted pair that stops crosstalk, which I was hoping would eliminate the interference from the power. It worked :)

Anyway..

This leads me to think its another problem with this phone, as charging any other phone with the same charger, in the same house, same socket even, doesnt present the problem. Hopefully something software is able to fix.
[HTC One X] walaway:
Good job mate!

Just try the same phone/charger on different places.

It doesn't bother me to do that I always have my charger with me

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GameProfessor:
Hi folks,

I love the chrome browser and want to see it run on my Nook Tablet.

Is this possible ? Has anyone thought about it ? I guess there must be some way to hack the apk to install it on older SDK.

Cheers,

DA
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheForceUnleashed:
You got an 8GB or a 16GB? Cause' you can get Chrome browser on CM9 and if you have a 16GB, use CM10 0.02 to get Chrome.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GameProfessor:
Thanks. I have a 16GB. So one way is to flash to CM10 0.02 then install Chrome.

However i'm not really into flashing my NT, considering there might be some risk of bricking if I mess up the process.

Is it possible to do the other way around: ie. to hack Chrome apk to make it compatible with rooted 2.3.4 ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Strouperman369:
To my understanding, there are several of kernel level standards that need to be met for a ROM to use Google Chrome for Android, and I don't believe it there are very many, if any, stock gingerbread devices that can use Chrome. I will point out, however, that Chrome works on CM9 0.05.1 except for adjusting settings. I've used it for a while now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] evodev:
If you Google it there is an apk floating around with most restrictions removed. But its meant for 4.0 without market access. Try dolphin browser if you can't get it to work
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LiuAnshan:
To the best of my knowledge chrome only works on ics and up.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johnny567:
apk

search for the apk
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mknap:
I looked for the longest time as well and couldn't find any way to do chrome on stock NT16. I finally bit the bullet and am playing around with CM9 and CM10. The mods are very cool and I will keep using them but there are some stability issues. There is some very nice development activity going on still and I am hoping this will smooth out.

However, that being said,I am not as impressed with mobile chrome as I had hoped. If you don't want to flash a non-stock ROM,I would go with dolphin browser as previously suggested.

If you do get chrome on stock please share here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DanGeorges:
I know this is an old thread, but I found and loaded Chrome on my 8gb tablet as well as on my mobile phone, neither of which are running ICS.

The Nook is stock ROM rooted.

If interested, I can attach the apk I used.

I'm not particularly impressed with it, but it runs. Of the browsers I have tried, I would rank it a bit faster than stock, but slower than Dolphin and Opera Mini. Firefox is not nice at all.

Opera is still my favorite. The home screen is nicely suited to tablet viewing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabidrotty:
I have Galaxy NEXUS yakju, otad stock 4.1.1 stock everything. But every time I try to connect to my platronics k100 it doesn't show on the list. I have to reboot both devices several times before my gnex sees the platronics. I then go to pair the device but I get cannot connect to pk100 either wrong pin or passkey. I cannot find away to enter a passkey. I tried clearing the Bluetooth cache to see if that helps but nothing. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a fix? Could this be because of the new radio that dropped? I never had this issue with ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] James Bell:
I'm also stock 4.1.1 GNex. I had perfect BT behavior with several devices with ICS, now have a problem with my car's built-in BT hands-free phone (2007 BMW 328). Pairing is fine. About every other phone call I'm told they can barely hear me over the noise but my audio is fine. I've paired and unpaired, and I did a complete wipe before installing JB. Very frustrating since everything worked great with ICS. Also no problems with 2 other BT headsets and connecting to 2 different PCs via BT.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Intercrew:
Hey guys! I recently purchased my galaxy from Telus and I must say it's a lovely device. Just a few cons for me is that it's a bit big and the volume rocker button is pretty loose. Other than that everything is just perfect :)

I just have a few questions if people could take their spare time to help out

1) How do you disable data usage? I tried pulling down the notification bar but there is no data off/on switch, only wifi.

2) If say I have data and wifi simultaneity on, what will exactly happen? Will wifi take over and automatically shut off the data?

3) Is there a way to automatically stop the use of data by having a restriction set up so for example once I hit 980mb, I won't be able to use the data unless I override and make it possible to continue using it. (Is watchdog a perfect app for this?)

4) The wifi/data icon on the status bar, what does the orange arrow going down mean and the other arrow facing up? The arrow facing downwards for my wifi keeps blinking orange/hang and goes back to grey. (Does it mean there something downloading in the background?)

5) What are some ways to improve the battery life of the phone?

6) Is there a way to remove "ME" on the contact list?

7) When I charge the phone through my laptop, it doesn't heat up but through the wall, the charging brick is rather hot. Is this safe?

8) To open the back cover, do you just put your nail/finger tip through the back hole and just use brute force to rip it off or is there something else? I feel like I'm gonna break the cover or the little edge/dimples on the sides of the cover where it fits into the back :l

9) Is there any way to change the brightness through maybe the status bar (moving fingers from right to left increases brightness and vise versa for left to right?) or maybe through notification bar?

10) Also should I have the sync icon on at all times in the notification bar?

11) Also is samsung kies needed? Whats the benefit of having it?

12) I really appreciate the help guys, and last not but least, what are some useful/"needed/essential" apps to help or make life easier for the phone?

This is my first smartphone as I've been using my old lg chocolate for some time now and it just incredible how diverse the android os is but at the same time confusing and stressful to add what and such. I have so many things I want to do with the phone atm but stressful to figure out what to do in order lol.

I'm planning on rooting the phone after I save the contacts to my google.

Thanks everyone!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tstern0112:
Read, Read, Read and Search some more

Make sure you read what I wrote at the bottom too...

1) Disable by going into settings>mobile networks>data enabled (check or uncheck)

2) Disable data usage for a set limit under settings>more>set data limit. This will turn off mobile data when the limit you set is reached.

3) Answered in 2.

4) Wifi turned on and connected means your data is only going across wifi network, cell data no being used.

5) Improved battery life is really achieved through a new rom and kernel. Anything else is really a gimmick, except screen brightness.

6) Not that I'm aware of.

7) The wall charger charges at a higher rate/higher rating so that will always make sense. It's fine.

8) Yes

9) Not on stock unless you have a custom theme or locker app. Just root and use a different rom (Task650's is always the best IMO).

10) You probably have a sync error. Go to settings>Accounts and Sync and look through your account to see what is going on. THere may be one item checked that needs to be unchecked and rechecked.

11) Kies will install the proper drivers but depending on what you need now, it's not really a necessity. More info.

12) Swype Beta

YOU ARE REALLY NEW TO ALL THIS SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO READ FOR A MONTH BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO ROOT ANYTHING. THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ASKED ARE SO BASIC I'M WORRIED YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE. YOU NEED TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME READING. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON... ALL THE ANSWERS I GAVE YOU ARE EXPLAINED BUT YOU HAVE TO READ AND FIND THEM. These guys will chew you up Noob if you're not careful. Read read read.

With time you'll get to root and flash all day, but until you have the basics down, spend your time on here reading. That's what I did and ever day I learn something new.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] s3xda:
Well for better battery life try turning off the motion activated actions within the settings. I found that I can easily add about another hour of total usage once disabling these. Turn off smart stay as well. Also if your going to use google chrome, going into the settings and turn off enable tilt scrolling

Somebody responded and solved his issue and let him know know nicely btw this doesn't belong in this section. Replying with I don't care where it belongs. Thanking a post that says yeah you clearly don't. That is what I hope he would get banned for.

Breaking a simple rule and being proud of it by saying I don't care where it belongs. Yes I wish that type of behavior wouldn't be tolerated and banned. You disagree, no big deal. Doesn't bother me none.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koker93:
I am pretty new here and have loves the source of all things EVO!

I flashed my first rom, broke the screen two days later, and reflashed it to stock so sprint would fix it. They replaced the front half of the phone. The glass, LCD, digitizer, bezel, and buttons. Here is my question: Now when i press firmly on the glass the LCD distorts like a computer monitor. It only happens when I press pretty hard while putting on my 3 layer case as one piece, so I am pressing pretty hard. I know thats probably how I wrecked the first screen, so I've stopped that. However I do not remember the origional screen doing that. Is sprint using lower grade glass screens?? Has anyone else noticed this?
