Try nova launcher of apex launcher, both good alternatives
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] veneirt:
I tried apex and nova but I would prefer the stock one modded with a 5x4 grid and without the search bar.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 309041291a:
Nova and Apex can look and feel identical to stock. So why...?

Nexus S (GMS i9020a)

Matrix Kernel (CFS - 20.0)

Ondemmand (800/200)

Deep Idle (Off - Noop)

Live OC - 100 (400/800)

BLX - 98 (Inverted Apps)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
Yeah gl having someone mod the stock launcher when apex and nova BOTH can be setup to get the exact look/feel u want with stock... I'm a huge fan of stock feel/setup with a bit of customization... and they both pull it off flawlessly... I run apex pro but both free versions can pull off what ur trying to do here...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dEris:
He probably likes how icons and widgets move when placing a new item on homescreen... which Apex nor Nova can do.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] veneirt:
Also the look of widgets, the direct shortcut to the market into the menu...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 309041291a:
You can have a direct link to the play store and the Widgets don't look any different..........

This is great, I was waiting for this. Btw, whats the differnce between ezekeels and thalamus deep idle?
[Nexus S Android Development] Randomwalker:
There is a whole thread by thalamus abou it, called Idle2 patch.
[Nexus S Android Development] _thalamus:
Yeah, it's not ideal at the moment though. It doesn't really save much, if anything in it's current implementation. TOP ON, unfortunately doesn't save any power and it is pointless.

I have acknowledged that and am working on a rewrite of the invocation code which should be done next week.
[Nexus S Android Development] yxcv99:
Great work so far. My battery drained about ten percent in four hours, thats more than doubled since the OTA. Thank you very much!
[Nexus S Android Development] _thalamus:
That's JB that is doing that, not the kernel. They have made it more efficient, it doesn't cause as many wakeups now. 1% in 2 hours here whilst idling.
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
How do I do that? It would be great if you tell me how to upload my source. I would be glad to do it.

@Thalamus good job with the IDLE2 port. I haven't had any issues so far.

As you says, changing every dpi values is a big job, so I mad a little tool to do it :

It's a Windows application that take all xml file of a directory and change all xml values with 'px' at the end and change the value using a given ration. Two checkbox options : replace existing files (or create new ones in a 'Done' subdirectory) and subdirectory (recursive dir process).

If it can be useful for someone ...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ykaroos:
I'm already terribly sorry when I mess things up here. I'm new here and I'm not completely sure if I'm doing the right thing with this post (at this place/forum). Well, I'll give it a try since I can't post something here which I initially wanted to do. Please, forgive me when I'm wrong by posting my problems here. Actually, I'd love to get a reply by the author of the patch featured in the above thread, but maybe someone here can help me.

First off, this is my newly flashed phone status:

(Sorry, I'm German, so is the language of my phone)

The phone isn't able to get a GPS fix or lock satellites. Since I applied the mentioned patch (above thread) it FINDS enough sat's but doesn't lock them. The GPS icon doesn't even blink in geo apps like Maps, GPS Status, Maverick etc. (only once in a while, very seldom)! So in a nutshell: even with the patch I can't get my phone to have a GPS function.

Look at this:

As you can imagine I'm pretty f***ed up with my beloved SGS2 not having GPS. :crying:

I'd be thankful for a lifetime and beyond if ANYONE could help me getting this stuff working again. :victory:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypted:
Are you using my aGPS Patch at all?

If so, did you ensure you comply with the Notes?

If so, did you clear cache/dalvik cache and try again?

If so, go to Settings - > Locations. Disable everything. Reboot. Go back and re-enable GPS only. Reboot. Try again.

If this fails, try another ROM known to work from my development thread's success stories of other users with your device.

Remember, WiFi or data connections is a must for getting aGPS data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanxx:
Thank you so much, in fact some time ago i have seen your AGPS post and have patched to my I9100, it's really so good. (Even without WiFi or data connections)

But lately after RR upgraded to v2.5 and v2.6, my GPS app cannot work anymore without WiFi or data connections. So would you please help, whether you have any idea what's gone wrong? One thing I am very sure, if i flash back to stock rom, this problem is definitely solved right away.

Please pardon me if I am too noob about this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanxx:
Just flash new NeatRom Lite from RR 2.6, above issue mentioned in previous post above is now solved.

My GPS app turn on and work without WiFi or without data connection (even in airplane mode), I only need to turn on GPS Satellites.

If need WiFi, when at outdoor cannot get WiFi.

If need data connection, then need to pay extra.

If no need WiFi or data connection, I will love it

I am trying to root a SGS2, i am not sure what kernel to use, my current kernel version is XWLPD-CL524746 dpi@dell 154 #3

What I want is clockworkrecovery in order to install a MIUI rom.

this guide states the following:

To work out which version you need go into Settings --> About Phone in your Galaxy S II, and scroll down to where it says "Kernel version". You will see a string something like this: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL571576. The yellow bit after the XX is what you're looking for.

Somehow got into a boot loop when flashing new CM10 rom, can get back into bootloader which you think would then make it easy to get into recovery but the recovery flashes on screen for 1/10th of a second and then tries to boot. Any help or suggestions? Thanks.

[Nexus 7 General] stidnam:
Hi all,

I picked my nexus 7 up yesterday and had a play around with it in the afternoon at work. When I got home it wouldn't turn on though. It appeared as though it was booting fine but the screen wouldn't turn on after boot.

A little googling around and I found a few threads describing the same situation blaming the problem on the automatic brightness settings.

I've reset the device to factory twice and even flashed the factory firmware again in hopes that it was a software problem. Alas nothing has fixed it. When the device is in dim lit areas the screen refuses to turn on. If the brightness is set to manual then there isn't a problem with the general use of the device although I did notice that the global brightness settings didn't seem to apply to some apps (Google Movies) and the screen liked to turn off while watching videos.

Anyway just wanted to put it out there that I believe this is another hardware problem that some people may dismiss without too much thought and use manual brightness.

Regards

stidnam
[Nexus 7 General] mewantnexus7:
Literally the same exact thing happened to me. Contacted google and they're replacing it
[Nexus 7 General] devmc:
I have the exact problem!! At least you can initialise your device when unbox

I don't even have a chance to do that, as the screen light always turns off!!

I have contacted google for replacement, but it just takes me long time for a further response!

How disappointed!
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
Hmm, I would run GPS Status and Toolbox and test out the light sensor with that. If there is a hardware issue, the sensor probably won't detect light change at all.
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
I think had this problem, took it back to the store I bought it from the next morning

When I turned the screen brightness down manually, at a certain point and below, the backlight doesn't seem to be on?

The sales guy said it was a backlight issue and had no issues replacing it straight away

Got another one no problem, and tested in store and its behaving fine :)
[LG Optimus Black] androidjel:
Do you still like the android platform?

or will be you next phone windows phone 8 os or iphone (ios)?
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
Never

I will never stop loving android and hate apple fanboys.
[LG Optimus Black] cathaclac:
i have tried both windows phone 7 and ios, and they are very unique and interesting to use. But after a while u will start to get bored using the same old platform and i think android is the same. I heard Mozilla has released a "firefox os" and written based on HTML5 or so. Looking forward to it ^^
[LG Optimus Black] yomek88:
I also like and will still like Android.

Windows and iOS are so "closed" and so "B* I'M FABULOUS!" ... where changing wallpaper is max of your coustomization possibilities :eek:
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
Agreed.

I've been using a lumia 800 for a couple of days and frankly i think i could get enogh of it soon

Also forming part of a community of people wanting to develop tweak and wanting more from your phone means something, at least to me, i recently realized that i like all the rooting, trying new roms, tweaks, scripts, customization and contributing to this community, i don't see the other 2 platforms giving me the same
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
loving a platform and hating the fanboys are two entirely different things. lol.

i too hate the "iFans", but the OS's fluidity is just amazing "NOW" (after flash is not going to be supported on droids too. a sad case because still now 70% of all websites use flash and not HTML5 ). there are a few common games for both the platforms. try and play both simultaneously. the iOS handles them reallllllyyy wellllll.

now, i hafta differ. android is great. i bought back my OB from my frnd whom i had sold it off, because i just LOVE android customizablility. BUT, i also have bought a lumia 710 (it's 90% lumia 800, save for the camera, extra storage and the screen tech) and gotta say i kind of like it better than the android platform.

WP7 has a few nice things up it's sleeve. first and best is battery life. lumia 710 is having a 1300 MAh battery, yet gives me about 2 days with 2g always on (that means syncing SNS and live tiles all the time), about 4/5hours of music, few snaps, etc. also, the level of SNS integration is just mindblowing. maybe there are less apss and games, but i actually don't play much. line birds, line runner as games and the super awesome "photosynth" app, a toggle app, a live card and a doc scanner. dats all. nokia also has given 2 nice apps as "camera extras" and "creative studio". all to say, am really really REALLY satisfies with the WP7.5 (and with 7.8 the homescreen is gonna be much better ;) )

am using it for less than a week and already by OB has turned into my 2nd phone.

and mind you, there ARE a couple o' ROMs for the lumias at xda. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
i've tried my friends' iphones and windows mobiles for about a week each

the iphones are damn smooth(sometimes they have slight lags)

windows mobile am fed up then when i see, those platforms aren't for me

they are too monotone to me :p

i love my android and am now using it as it was created for(games, emails, youtube, homework, camera, facebook, skype) :)

when i feel like buying another phone, i think about mine and say to myself...will i really use those features?

then i look at mine and remember the day i bought it and its wonderful features :D

no, i'll stay android if ios7 is still like this :p
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
I like Android very much!!! Very customizable, and it's getting better and better :)

Time for Android

Pros:

Very customizable

Updated quite often

Has a lot of features

Custom roms, themes, etc :D

Flash support! Though Flash for mobile will be soon discontinued by Adobe :/

Android exists among all types of phones; low,mid and high-range phones, therefore it is very flexible in terms of budget/choice of the customers.

And so on

Now, the Cons:

Not well fragmented; lag exists & it has quite a lot of problems compared to other OSes

Does not support many games, compared to iOS

Laggy browsing experience with ANY browsers.

The OS sometimes require powerful phones to run smoothly, thus making more expensive phones better, and cheap phones worse.

Your android powered phone can be easily bricked and has more software issues than other OSes; this is because building Android for 1000s of phones is really not easy, while iOS and WP7 are supported by very few devices, making the development of the OS very easy and better.

And MANY more

Now turn to iOS

Pros:

Very well fragmented; a 600Mhz device can run very smoothly.

Has very low software issue.

HTML5 support, super smooth browsing experience ahead!

Very hard to brick an iPod/iPhone lol

Games, games, GAMES!

Has featured apps which are quite useful (Siri, iMessage, etc)

iOS have a more professional look than Android, but less than WP7.

Super easy to use! Even my 3 year old niece can use it.

Has free cloud storage by default

And many more...

iOS is not without cons:

Can be extremely boring for some people.

no customization, unless you jailbreak, which still allows you less customization than Android.

Supported only by iPod/iPhone, restricting consumer choices/

Software updates makes older devices obsolete and outdated, forcing customers to buy new iPod/iPhones.

Apple = purely marketing... People buy iPhones blindly XD

No bluetooth file transfer to other devices!!

And so on...

I didn't not really used a WP7 powered phone, but from what I see, it is a very good and fluid OS!

Pros:

So much simplicity, so fluid, so COOOL!

Damn it runs at 60fps like all the freaking time! Practically no lags. - Extremely well fragmented.

Perfect to impress others lol, the OS is very well presented and looks like a premium OS.

More customization than Apple's iOS

HTML5 support, super smooth browsing experience ahead!

Xbox User can use Xbox Live on their WP7 Phone!

Has free cloud storage by default

Easy to use.

WP7 phones gets major software updates.

Now the Cons (there may be more):

No bluetooth file transfer! Just like iOS

Not as customizable as Android.

For some, the UI can be very boring.

And some more...

If I had to decide which is the best Operating System for phones, it would have been extremely hard!!

To simplify the decision I would divide it into categories:

In terms of Choice, Functionality and Customization; ANDROID

In terms of Apps, Stability and Ease; iOS

In terms of Fluidity, Professionalism and Ease; Windows Phone 7

I am not surprised to be using a WP7 phone in the future as I like the UI so much. :)
[LG Optimus Black] androidjel:
I think im going to use wp 8 if it come our or wp 9
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
for the future, it's unpredictable all os are good

ios and wp are said to be fluid and here comes jelly bean

its to your taste :)

i myself dont know what i'll really buy next time

but i prefer ios or android
[LG Optimus Black] androidjel:
Idont like that some android device dont get update but the can handel it google need to say something about it because a iphone with lower specs than a iphone 4s is slower or the same speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] francoislefrancais:
Hello, I intend to buy the Galaxy Nexus but the problem of the screen burn-in scares me. When I buy a phone, it's for two years, does the problem still exists in the new series?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] francoislefrancais:
Bump :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animal24:
I know the ones at the store have this problem, but thats because they are full brightness all the time. I make it a point to use my phone in landscape clockwise, i.e. with pogo pins down, so the on screen buttons are on the opposite side as they usually are, and i haven't noticed any burn in. In low brightness conditions, you'll occasionally see some ghosting, but its not a big deal. They gave you extra blue pixels (rbgb), since those are the ones that are the weakest, to make sure your screen lasts 2 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
had gnex since release date and had no problems with it what so ever, however, when bough had issues with screen itself e.g uneven colouring and banding (quite visible grey bars), replaced it and the model i got is fine so far...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] francoislefrancais:
I use most of the time my phone with middle brightness or minimum+screen filter during the night, as i don't use it at maximum, i will not get burn-in ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilStrider:
Never had this issue with any phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puck24:
Don't wanna open a new thread since this is a similar topic.

I've noticed a very faint light blue-ish stripe on my screen (where the notification bar is) while reading text on a white background (in fullscreen).

Is that burn-in? If so, is it covered under warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
People say it is not burn in but uneven wear of the pixels. I know if read about people running a white background I think it was overnight on high and it will start to remove the marks. The idea is to run other colors to wear in the spot evenly as the top bar usually is only running black.

If you do some searching around in these threads you will read what others have done and what has worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
I have this too, but calling it burn-in is wrong I think. Those pixels are black (i.e. turned off) most of the time, so they couldn't possibly be "burned into" the screen. Rather, the issue seems to be that they are getting used too little, so they are not worn in as much as the rest of the screen. Since all screens of this type change slightly over time as they get used, there is a small but noticeable difference in how these different areas of the screen display certain colors.

I haven't tried this, but it certainly seems like it could work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puck24:
Thx. Will try that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
The app "Display Tester" has a burn-in removal function that some people have found useful.
