is that all the problem is? I would still like to know what you did the first 4 times you restored, whatever that crazy process was. I can risk a brick today, my replacement comes anyways, but many others have already been totally screwed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Me too... I have no idea why I can do it... I am pretty sure this is the same thing that the hk leak has in it. It is what we all feared.

I wonder if I have a dev phone, but my bootloader still has the A in its revision... My last replacement It seemed esier to use kexec than on other phones...
[Motorola Atrix 2] shinydesert:
This is very weird, I have just redone the whole process 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 and ICS, and nothing strange happened (knock on wood).

I used the file from my signature.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Did you use my patch to patch the 2.3.5 fxz for the ICS leak that I posted yesterday?

I am thinking the secret is using a script and not RSDlite. That is how I always restore my phone is with my own scripts, that I was getting ready to release before all this started.

Ok,

So I was having a "civil" conversation with a resident Apple Fanboy at work about how Google Now beats Siri on a basic head to head test, which he proceded to repsond, "And? Its still no iPhone killer." Now letting you know how that debate is pointless, especially if you have actually argued with a Apple fnaboy. Its truly a waist of time. However my point or my soap box is, this how "iphone killer" thing is irrelevant.

Even with jelly bean and ICS out you still have folks who will say how the Nexus out shines the new iPhone in almost every aspect but then....bam..."but its no iPhone killer"

What is an "iPhone killer?" Because based on my experience the statement should be, "yeah the iPhone is nice pretty and built well, but its no, Android killer" Anyway just a random rant.

Love this picture from http://www.bonkersworld.net/iphone-killer/

[HTC Rezound] 996:
I just installed SlimRom and I am loving everything about the rom so far.

I just wish APEX wasn't as choppy as it currently is. Any suggestions on how it can be made to be smoother without switching to a different launcher?

I came from CleanRom Pro 4.5. with Sense. Very smooth scrolling with that. I've been hearing APEX on Nils is also smooth. I would like to stick to SlimRom due to its simplicity.

any inputs would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
set scroll speeds to 1 or 2
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
It's all about the settings and configurations, you can set the scroll speeds, set the animation and transition scaling in settings/development options, use something like spare parts plus to set some transition speeds and force 2D GPU rendering, things like that. But you can get it set up and dialed in to feel however you desire (well within reason) if you spend some time in there. About like having a girlfriend I guess.

Part of it if you're on is a desensed rom is that without the smooth rosie tweaks in a lot of the roms, the launcher graphics acceleration feels weird.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I've never had any choppy issues with Apex on SlimROM, or any other ROMs. Nova has always been choppier for me regardless of the ROM while scrolling though.

I usually keep my homescreens pretty simple, 4 widgets total, a few apps and a live wallpaper, so there's not a whole lot going on to lag things out. Plus I don't have a bunch of apps installed, so it doesn't have a lot to load up either.

I'm not sure why it's laggy for some people but not others...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnralp00:
and I'm really loving it so far. I got it with ICS on it, set it up and checked for system updates and behold... 4.1.1 is now installed. I really love the feel of JB. I came from a G2X and I've had to run all GB roms because all the ICS roms frankly sucked. Not devs fault so don't take that the wrong way. I think I'll leave it stock for a day or two to make sure the phone is good then I'll Root it and start playing. Anyways... glad to be here guys.:D

Hey congrats I just received mine a few days ago from the play store too. I was just wondering, if I use the toolkit to unlock the bootloader all data will stay on the device correct? Just want to make sure before I go ahead and do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Backup your data anyway just in case. IN GENERAL, Play Store phones do not wipe when you unlock, but that data was based from the batch last April/May/June.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hungmung:
I agree with Harveydent backup just in case. I got mine a two weeks ago though and mine didn't wipe after unlock but better safe than sorry.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kohawk09:
I just got my play phone last week. The tool kit DID erase all data, which was different than everything I read. So at least for me, doing the one click process in the tool kit to unlock, flash CWM, and root took me back to factory. Wasn't a big deal since I only set up my account and upgraded to 4.1.1. So didn't set me back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eagles20015:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Apple on Tuesday was awarded what is being considered as “the mother of all smartphone software patents,” according Phandroid’s Kevin Krause. Considering Apple’s recent track record, the company may be preparing to bring down a legal hail storm against Google’s Android. “The effects could be swift and lethal,” Krause admitted.

Of particular interest, patent number 8,223,134, which covers “Portable electronic device, method, and graphical user interface for displaying electronic lists and documents,” could be Apple’s biggest weapon. Basically, it covers user interfaces for smartphone email, telephone, camera, video player, browser, widgets, search, notes, maps and a multitouch interface. That’s a list of features in every competing smartphone OS.

PatentlyApple said, “Apple reinvented the smartphone, and today they get another patent victory to celebrate that fact… Apple’s iPhone truly reinvented the smartphone and Apple’s granted patent reflects the broad range of graphical user interface innovations that they brought to market.”

Apple has been steadfast in its quest to squash any competition it deems has stolen from the Cupertino-company. Over the past several months, Apple has been embroiled in a number of lawsuits around the globe, the most recent of which dealing with the Galaxy Nexus.

The granting of such a broad patent could have far reaching consequences on the marketplace, and potentially stifle any major future software advancements, which is ultimately bad for consumers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Hahahaha I read this to, the question would be weather Apple decides to fight and get some sort of an injunction. I do think if these suits start getting out of control, it might backfire on Apple, but we will see. I mean, seriously, people didn't by Android because of a disappearing scroll bar, just like people didn't buy Android over Apple because of unified search.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Just a matter of time until all these apple patents get recognized as industry standards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Google will change to a different scrollbar. I doubt it will ever matter. This doesn't mean the death of Google.

I can think of several ways around it, and they don't require an ugly persistent scrollbar either.

One being, no scrollbar at all. Haven't we moved past the need for those on mobile devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Exactly. Thats why I think there is a chance of the courts ruling the patent invalid.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
It's about time, because that initial Nexus injunction was pure BS.....your trying to tell me that Apple lost market share and money because of unified search?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vader860:
If the patent results in the creation of a smartphone monopoly on apple's part, then the courts might be able to rule the patent invalid if challenged.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It won't/can't unless nobody is willing to change it. A simple patch could remove scrollbars altogether and then its a non-issue.

All this bull**** its getting out of control.. In the case that apple managed to kill EVERY SMART PHONE IN THE WORLD meaning iphone its the only remaining device.. I'd rather go back to an old dumb nokia 5120 or such over buying an apple device.

But I guess with this new patent they gonna affect even Microsoft and windows 8 phones.. And this its where I don't know if apple's legal department its crowded with retards.. Because I am sure that messing with Microsoft never its a good option.. They can smack apple down to the hell any day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
As long as googles scroll bar doesn't fully disappear they should be fine, perhaps if it shrinks to a 1 pixel wide bar all is well. Gotta love apple and its revolutionary software patents where a few lines of code can bypass them all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sloprest:
This is way out of hand. It cannot be legal to ban devices because a company will lose part of its market share. Its not the companies fault Apple chooses to have a limited selection. Seriously have they lost all their business logic. Hmmmm dozens of Android devices on the market compared to one single iOS device, can't imagine how that plays out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Personally I think that Apple knows Damn well that this will do basically nothing to stop competitors in their tracks. The patent wars will go on forever, its part of surviving in a dog eat dog industry. Every company knows that no matter how many patents they have or how many lawsuits they file there will always be ways around them or new technology to make them useless. It's all about doing what you can to at least slow your enemies advances. If we can cost them a few million and stir them up a bit lets do it, better than just standing by and watching our fruit get eaten :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JJNutty:
What I don't understand is why Google doesn't hit Apple where it hurts... Deny them any right to use ANY Google app on the iPhone. What good would the iPhone be without Google Maps, Google Search, Gmail, Google Earth, YouTube, etc? Bite that Apple! My 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Google: Take that Apple!

Apple: Tehehe

Google: Where is mah money?

Apple: Did you see our new maps?

Google makes money off Apple. You don't show a company who is boss by cutting off your nose, despite your face. Also, while they could stop developing apps for Apple, if they deny them something like google search which is a web based service, I imagine there would be some nasty legal issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
Remember, most of these companies are just a bunch of departments that do not communicate well with the others. While Android may be fighting with Apple about one thing, there are also other departments making money off Apple. Same thing with Samsung, some departments in Samsung may be having issues with Apple but obviously some other departments are making out with them.

As for scroll bars, I agree, they have no real use. Only time I find them useful is when scrolling the contact list and it helps me find the letter I want but I can EASILY live without that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JJNutty:
Interesting argument. However, I would like to see how many iSheep would still use the iPhone if all Google services were removed. Where does that leave the iPhone users? It's either Android or Windows then. My bet is they would switch to Android and let the Apple rot. Does Google not profit from Android phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
If Apple is granted an injunction against Android... you think carriers would sit there and do nothing? think about it.

-Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
What Google service would Apple not be able to just replace?

Search would be Bing if it isn't already.

Gmail would be Yahoo mail or msn as well

Maps is already replaced

I'm sure Google Apps could be replaced

Just about the only thing I can think of they couldn't just replace is YouTube

I've never really used Google Apps but if people use it I'm sure there is some others out there like Office online.

The new Apple Maps seems to have a lot of things that look very much like Google Maps, you'd think there were some patent issues there too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Google could easily go that route, but they know better, they might hide it under the disguise of , "Don't be evil" aka don't try to put your apps in a closed system, but the shear truth of it all is 97% of Google's revenue is ads just read their 10k filing. They make more money when the offer their apps to all platforms, including the ones trying to sue them.

It also makes them look...well...nicer to the public eye.

Google is taking Microsoft's approach of I want my stuff everywhere and on every platform. Suing just makes this more difficult.

Hello Everyone I Am New In This World And I Have Some Questions About Developing

-Which Programming language Should I Learn To Create Apps.?

-How To Create ROM?

-What About Porting Something From A Device To Another One?

-Is The SDK Of The Mobile Is Enough To Port Something From It?

-Should I Own An Old Phone For Testing?

P.S. I Have GS3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
You develop for Android primary in the Java language. You may write native (i.e. compiled) code as well, but Java is recommended in most cases.

Creating custom roms is much like creating a Frankenstein Monster. Decompose your original rom, pick the pieces you like, replace the other with stuff you dig up from other places, or create yourself. Then re-pack everything in your new custom image, flashing you phone. The details about what to use to split images, flash devices etc you have to search this forum for - it'll differ from device to device.

When developing for Android you chose a minimal API level, e.g. Android 1.5. This way your app will run on all devices with at least Android version 1.5, no porting needed. Java is "write once, run many" so to say.

You can test your new apps either on you phone or in the emulator (Android Virtual Device) supplied with the SDK. If you intend to develop lots of code, a dedicated phone may be quite useful for testing, yes, but absolutely not necessary. You'll not crash your phone just because your application crashes, all apps are running in separate processes protected from each others.

you need java to learn programming................

for basic rom making a bit of general knowledge is enought not much of programming is required........

for basic porting you can use cygwin for complex ports u need t change the framwork files which you will learn as the time passes..

sdk is required for building app and adb fastboot not for porting and other kind of stuff(related to api's)............

what do you mean by old phone.. you build mods for your phone so test it on the phone you built the mod for not old phone or something like that.........

I original purchased a sim card from their website for my skyrocket. As you may know the S3 uses a mini sim card. Luckily for me I had my old sim card from At&t that i used as a stencil to cut my ST sim card to the exact size and shape as the AT&T sim card and it worked perfectly. Otherwise you will have to purchase another from ST.

So far everything works perfect. MMS, SMS, Voice, email, etc.. I am averaging about 6.5 Mbps down and 2.0 Up. I have heard stories about ST capping after 2gb of data but I haven't used that much data and mainly use it on wifi. For 45 bucks a month for unlimited everything you really cant beat that.

Hope this helps any of you trying to decide to switch to ST using the S3. Let me know if you have any questions.
