Decompile boot.img with kernel tools given by Ketut.Now decompile Ramdisk.Now make a blank png with paint or w/e thing you have.Now,convert it into rle,again using ketut's tools.Replace the rle in ramdisk with the one you made.Now,compile it back.You now have a black/empty splash image.This is as close as you are going to get :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyxoFish:
Alright, so I just got a second replacement One X from AT&T and I noticed something odd about it.

When I tilt the screen, I get this weird green-ish/rainbow-ish distortion on the screen and it affects the viewing angles when compared to my original One X. My original One X does not have this green/rainbow tint when I tilt the phone and stays consistent in color. It's also much brighter.

Is this normal? Should I ask for another replacement?

My first replacement would not turn on after I shut it off and was sent another One X replacement the next day. Right now, I'm in possession of all three One Xs, my original with the warm tint, the replacement One X that will not turn on, and the second replacement One X with distortion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
That isn't normal. The phone has great viewing angles and should not have any color or image distortion. Get another replacement.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyxoFish:
That's what I was curious about!

I keep comparing it to my original One X. The second replacement has a green-ish tint/rainbow-like pattern while looking at it from an angle. If I move my head, the pattern moves around. In contrast to my original One X, which is a solid display at almost infinite angles.

I think AT&T might get angry at me for wanting too many replacements, I just got my first replacement two days ago and had to order a new one since it just shut off and would not turn on again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
If they get angry at you, get angry right back. You are paying good money and deserve a product that is free from defects.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Loneeagle14:
I'd exchange it again too. I don't know how often you get a new phone, but if you have to stare at the screen every time you use the phone, it'd better be flawless. Just my 2¢
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyxoFish:
This is the second replacement. First replacement would not turn on, second replacement has a green/rainbow tint. All in one week.

I have half a mind of sending both replacements back and keeping my original One X and just sending it in to HTC to get it fixed.

...S3 guts in a gnex body - which one would you pick and why (it would be AOSP, by the way?)

i think I'd have to go with the nexus. i hate constantly cleaning off the top and back of my evo. I have a wireless keyboard with that glossy finish, and i clean it off at least twice a day.

i also like the lack of buttons on the bottom and how there are tons of mods out for that area on the bottom.

lastly, even though i probably wouldn't use either that much, i like the charge pins and the fact that wireless steaming to TV seems easier (i didn't get to try it with the s3/nexus, but my medialink HD blows.)

some of what i do like about the evo though is

camera button

continuous shot mode

picture quaality

kickstand (though i haven't used it much yet)

screen

hub (i'm surprised at how much content it has, although i'd like more)

build quality

Mom deleted her pictures folder so I went to connect her phone to comp to try and run some data recovery program. Won't recognize. Nothing.

Tried all USB ports on 3 different computers with 3 different cables. Tried manually installing drivers, removing old with USB deview and also trying the kies route. Tried all USB modes (Kies, Media, USB data). Tried various modes with and without USB debugging. Ok probably went too far. Bad USB connection. It can charge though.

My question is how can I root without USB data connection? It's my understanding that to be able to run any sort of Data Recovery app on android I would need to be rooted. I'm an iPhone user so not too familiar with the whole android scene. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't believe that you'll be able to recover those deleted files. However, if you want to root 2.2.1 (Froyo) but don't have USB access, try this. It says that it's for Gingerbread, but I just tested and it worked to root Froyo.

Gingerbreak v. 1.20 apk - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

After that, update the Superuser app in the Play Store and update su to the latest version from within the app.

NOTE: Earlier, I posted a method that I thought would work using zergRush in Android Terminal Emulator. I've taken that back, because I tested and it didn't work like it does when I do it in adb. zergRush needs adb to work.

Holy smokes. After using Odin to go back to stock Froyo to test for this thread, that was the fastest path to get back to ICS that I've had in a while. From Froyo, I installed the Gingerbreak apk to root, used SGS kernel flasher to flash the kernel image from CM9. Booted into blue recovery, did all my wipes, and flashed CM9. Kind of refreshing not to mess with Gingerbread along the way.

Meaning the ergonomics, if you will, of having to reach to the top of the device for so many system and app functions.

The design makes no sense to me.

If most of us hold devices with our thumbs at the bottom of the device,why aren't most all features functions and controls positioned at the bottom?

Compared to my Galaxy Note...this is a relative pain to use.

[Nexus 7 General] ikeny:
The problem is we DON'T have a tablet JB UI. What we have stock, is a PHONE JB UI, the (almost) same one as Galaxy Nexus. People have been rooting to change (lower) the LCD density, which forces the N7 to give us the table UI. See this

This is stupid on Google's end. They should have given us the tablet UI out of the box. We want a TABLET! Not a 7" phone that doesn't make phone calls!
[Nexus 7 General] Eclair~:
Why do people keep saying this, or at the least stating it this way?

Only the launcher is in this phone-type mode. The apps remain the same as their tablet counterparts.

Tablets are typically meant to be held with one hand, and operated with the other. I'm not quite sure what you mean entirely, but you are not supposed to operate a tablet device using solely your thumbs.
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
This.

On a 7 inch "tablet", use of portrait mode is much more common. As such, the presentation of the phone UI probably made more sense for Google, as opposed to the tablet UI.

Regardless, devs are hard at work to let you use the tablet UI without changing the DPI.
[Nexus 7 General] aristurtle:
The launcher isn't exactly the phone style, either. The Android people are calling it the hybrid UI. Basically, you can't just use the same UI you would use on a 10" tablet in a 7" tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] ikeny:
It's not just the launcher. The notification area, and the layout of the Setting page, are different in the tablet mode.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I, for one, much much rather use the UI for a 10" than this hybrid UI for my N7.
[Nexus 7 General] Eclair~:
I know, I should have specified this as well.

Though, it is just starting to annoy me that people keep calling the Nexus 7 a giant phone of sorts, when the apps you download from the market are the same exact tablet apps you will be getting on larger devices. As long as developers recognize 7" as a tablet device - you will not be getting the layout of a phone app on the Nexus 7. Calling it a giant phone is not a correct way to describe this, and is an obvious dramatization of this entire setup.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
Indeed.

Same, although the stock launcher is much better IMHO then nova.

When nova merges all the jellybean changes I will switch back

The only thing that bugs me about the N7 is landscape is really wonky having the buttons in the center.

It would be awesome if you flipped to landscape it turned into the 10" ui
[Nexus 7 General] ikeny:
The apps don't always remain the same as the tablet counter part. See screenshot of our Play Store app after forcing N7 to tablet mode.

I love the UI and it was one of the features that helped me switch. I came from an iPad 2 used 99% of the time in portrait orientation and find it much more comfortable than holding it in landscape. More comfortable for me to hold and less scrolling while browsing the web.

A landscape oriented tablet was a major factor that held me back from android previously.

Jelly bean is definitely a pain. Some apps absolutely will not work without the menu function of Jelly bean built in, rendering some apps useless when you need to modif settings, such as moon+ reader.
[Nexus 7 General] Hakizi:
After using a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, as well as my Nexus 7, I much prefer the N7's layout. The buttons (home, back, etc.) on the Tablet layout are far too small on a 7 inch tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] thevuman:
Ahhh... NO wonder I couldn't find the settings for theme, night mode, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] Croak:
Easy fix, just tap on the screen in the center area, somewhere between a regular tap and a long-press in duration, the Moon+ settings menu comes up at the bottom.
[Nexus 7 General] Baristan:
I highly recommend "Ultimate Rotation Control" instead of using Nova or Apex launcher. it works with the stock launcher un-rooted. Now if I could change brightness, Bluetooth, and volume from the notification menu I would be happy with the ui.
[Nexus 7 General] monkeefied:
The evolution of android has been aggravating me as of late. It seems they are sacrificing usability to make the ui and the device look pretty. I don't like that they are slowly removing the buttons, first the search button gone and now the menu button gone. The buttons now take up valuable screen real estate. I've used these heavily in the past and now search is at the top when I have my hands primarily at the bottom of the device so I can type. And where is the menu button?? Who knows? Depends on where you are and what app you are currently in. I find myself looking for things more often now than actually being able to use the device intuitively. Oh and that recently used app button?, I've never used it.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] markboston:
i do however i can see why google has decided to do this. on a 7 inch screen unless you have a very high dpi its almost impossible to have a tablet ui as we had in ics. From what ive heard tablets running JB on screens 9inches+ will run the tablet ui.
[Nexus 7 General] qoncept:
To me what's frustrating isn't so much the reaching, it's the inconsistent placement of search and menu buttons. With my razr I always know where they are and hit them when I want. Now I have to scour the screen to find them before I can do it. And Google getting rid of a SEARCH button? Just doesn't make sense to me. You'd think that would be front and center.

The ONLY way it makes any sense whatsoever is the fact that I'm not sitting there hitting the menu button only to find out the app doesn't use it.
[Nexus 7 General] ikeny:
If the low resolution screen (1024×600) of the Galaxy tab 2 7.0 can have the tablet UI, I don't see why the HD screen (1280×800) of the Nexus 7 cannot.
[Nexus 7 General] SCDroid:
The menu shows up on the far right of the navbar (it's 3 dots) as needed.
[Nexus 7 General] ldrn:
I really like the new UI; maybe I am holding my device differently? I always used to move the task bar on Windows to the top, though, then when I switched to Linux, it usually works similarly, so it just feels right to me up there. I never noticed I was sliding my hand up every time I wanted to pull it down until I read this thread and started thinking about it.

I do kind of wish the back button was closer to the left edge in landscape, but I almost always use it in portrait. (Compared to previous tablets I've used, the thinner bezel on the sides make thumb typing much nicer in portrait.)
[Nexus 7 General] ross231:
Is jellybean a big update? or is it just GUI?
[Nexus 7 General] :
From what I have read, I assume that Jelly Bean will follow a new UI format.

Phone devices will run a phone UI, which will utilise a phone launcher similar to the Galaxy Nexus (unless a hardware manufacturer uses their own interface such as HTC Sense) and run the phone versions of applications.

7" and smaller tablets will utilise a hybrid UI, which runs a phone launcher similar to the Galaxy Nexus (again only if the hardware manufacturer hasn't used their own interface such as Samsung's Touchwiz) but run tablet applications.

Finally, 10" and larger tablets will be running a full tablet UI running a tablet-optimised launcher (again only if the hardware manufacturer hasn't used their own interface) and tablet apps.

Hope that clears it up a bit. But, for 7" devices, this hybrid UI looks nice. You still run tablet apps, so can easily make use of the extra screen space over a phone. Besides, it is a Nexus device so just modify/hack it if you don't like it. It's quite simple to root and change the DPI, as there are even apps on the market which do it for you.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Well, it is the latest version of Android - the same as how Windows 8 is the latest version of Windows and newer than Windows 7. Whether it is a big update/improvement remains a matter of opinion. I have not tried Jelly Bean so can't really say.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Yes, smaller tablets use a hybrid UI and large tablets a full tab UI. Phones run a phone UI obviously.

[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Its just polish to ICS. I suspect they released "jelly bean" so fast just to get Apple off their ass. JB actually is supposed to remove a few features that is under scrutiny. They didn't really remove then just do them differently now. Its a minor update to ICS with a big focus on smoothness and GUI acceleration... "project butter".

As far as Phablet mode... meh I don't like it as much as tablet mode. Partially because I have a ~4.5" Galaxy Nexus running JB... and it makes the N7 feel like a bit phone. My N7 is also replacing my 10" Asus Transformer which uses tablet mode. Tablet mode makes better use of the extra screen space... but whatever.

Kinda cool Google even using Phablet mode. It started off with the devs here just screwing around (phone UI but tablet style apps). Looks like someone is a fan of XDA... and when I say someone I mean Google. And when I say XDA I mean the badass guys here.
[Nexus 7 General] masterofmayhem:
I find the most painful part of this "phablet" is what happens when hiring the home button while in a landscape app. Since much of what is done on the tablet is in landscape mode, hitting the home button brings you to a portrait home screen. It becomes un-insightful to them find the app launcher. It is the only thing about JB on the N7 that isn't well thought out
[Nexus 7 General] polarimetric:
This being the first Android tablet I have owned, I vastly prefer the hybrid UI. It's similar enough to the Android phone experience to know more or less where everything is and how to do everything, but it looks just different enough to feel like an independent device. That's crucial to attract new customers. People familiar with Android phones will pick up a Nexus 7 and know how to use it almost right off the bat. That's also why most functions needed to be near the top--putting the functions at the bottom would be enough of a confusion to turn off the average person.

Also, to people complaining about the recents button... I, too, was resistant to the button at first (and I sure missed my search button), but once I forced myself to learn to use it, I started to love it. It brings Android multitasking to a whole new level. I plan to use the N7 primarily as a productivity device (Quickoffice, email, etc.) and the recents button makes a tremendous difference. Someone using the device primarily for media consumption probably wouldn't notice, but the recents button is really the only way Android could be a serious contender in the tablets-for-productivity market. The inability to multitask was the main thing preventing tablets from being viable stand-ins for laptops and the recents button eliminates that problem entirely.

That being said, Google needs to get over portrait launchers. Using the launcher in portrait makes a lot of sense on the phone but doesn't make sense at all on the tablet. I'd say I use the tablet 50/50 in portrait and landscape.
[Nexus 7 General] nicatronTg:
Many of you need to read Dianne Hackborn's post on G+ as to why the UI is so different versus other tablets. It's the odd dpi (tvdpi) that does it.
