Switched from Andromeda3 to Firefly3.0 about a week ago and my battery life is not near as good. On Andromeda3 I could get 2 days easy with plenty of talking and some surfing. I've read a lot and tried a lot and still it's no better. I love the ROM (Firefly) itself but miss my battery. I'm wondering if I should just upgrade to GB and flash Mosaic. Opinions?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lincolnmking:
I am by no means an expert and always thought SetCPU was useful - I don't use it to overclock - just use it primarily to limit the processor when the screen is off. However, with ICS and Jelly Bean and the improvements related to it, is there still a need for SetCPU? Again, not just to overclock, etc, but to limit the processor when the screen is off to attempt to save battery. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] athakur999:
I personally have felt no need for SetCPU once I upgraded from my first Android device - a MyTouch3G.

The schedulers in most custom kernels nowadays already throttle back the CPU speeds when the screen is off. As for overclocking, it IMO doesn't make any noticeable difference anymore so I don't even bother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lincolnmking:
But, what if you don't use the scheduler in the custom rom, is SetCPU still redundant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
I use it to set the voltages. If the hotplugx worked well with it I'd use it for profiles but unfortunately it'll crash.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
No, right?

So this display only looks beautiful and awesome when reading books, news,... watching 1080p videos? If that'strue then i think i'd go for the 300 because i usually watch 720p videos, which should look good on a 1280x800 screen and i only read books sometimes,
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Browsing too, but for 720p videos TF300 should be enough.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
so there are no optimized games or apps for this tablet? (even one)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
What do you mean by optimised? There are many that look fine ;)

There are some apps for FHD displays, search the Playstore.

Generally text will look better than on lower-resolution screens, textures won't, especially in games.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
In my opinion *everything* will look better on the TF700. Besides the resolution, the contrast is WAY better on the TF700.

The difference is noticeable *everywhere* - I especially notice it while web browsing!

I don't know, if I were buying new and could afford it, I'd definately go for the T700 - it's slightly more future-proof at least - seems to me it's just better all of the way around....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Due to the way Android handles its resolution scaling, its not a problem for some apps. Basically, the infinity identifies as a 240dpi device. Any apps that run on both phones and tablets should be covered since the resources would be there for 240dpi phones. Tablet only apps and games would need to be updated, as would apps that don't properly handle doing scaling due to sloppy programming. You can see this in action with the stock Google apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
And as the question was about the apps stop the blind advertising ;)

PS The game is on! What a great show. So much better than in Beijing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] philtrick:
Well,just to let you know, connectbot makes full use of the display, it has the highest resolution terminal I ahve seen for a while.

Also, Chrome seems to make good use of the display.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Come on.. This is just text-based. See the posts above. The issue is GUI and textures.
[Asus Transformer TF700] goralla:
Dead Trigger looks great and runs very smooth.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Pocket runs great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] parasense:
how to tell?

can we easily test the resolution of apps?

Is there a way to take a screen shot and measure pixels, or the ratio of resolution?

After the recent firmware I noticed chrome looked more resolute, finer grained.

Especially google+ icons were smaller.

this is the only HD device so perhaps google android SDK needs to update first to support the screen size?

Perhaps the emulator would support our TF700 screen and other future device?

bottom line, how to measure apps externally for HD?

Spent some time in PA last week and had fun with my new EVO LTE's slow motion video. The intro is using a program called Lapse It Pro, but the phone fell before we finished building the slide. Thought I would show off some creative capabilities of this phone since it's 2.0 aperture lens is why I chose this over all other smart phones.

[GT540 Optimus General] Niquel97:
Hi guys does anybody knows are some DEV/DEVS buiding 3.0.X or 3.X.X kernel? :)

Till now we don't have so many kernels only 2.6.x kernels.

It would be nice if we had 3.x.x kernel in our LG gt540.

I think it's also better for ics and jellybean than example 2.6.35.11 (Correct If I'm wrong :) ).
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
True and not true
[GT540 Optimus General] BartLH:
Because... :D

Could you explain it a little more please :)? I know that a 3.x kernel is extremely unlikely, but I don't know why it is. Could you share a bit of your knowledge? :P
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
It needs writing/porting ALL drivers . Extremely hard to do. We should be happy to have 2.6.32/35 and not only 29 provided by LG. Other phones which have kernel sources and everything provided by their manufacturers of course have newer, better kernel (for ics and jb) but the kernels we have do their Job ok..
[GT540 Optimus General] Niquel97:
Ok and andreas_ you are write we should be happy to have 2.6.35 and 2.6.32 these are also good enough for our

Let's see how good jellybean we have after a while with 2.6.35 kernel.
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
Well I guess I will stay with gb till the end:D
[GT540 Optimus General] Niquel97:
Well I guess I will stay with gb till the end

Why You like to stay with gb because it maybe little faster than ics or it has also little more free ram??

I go to ics because all of the gb roms are unstable for me which is doesn't good for me.

So ics is a lot more stable for me and i like ics style more than gb :).
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
of course ICS is much more beautiful, but GB has more free ram and i can't stand waiting like 10 seconds to open a new app :D ( yeah thats really true)

tejasdj12's Cm7 is much more stable than any cm9/aokp i've tested
[GT540 Optimus General] bataya:
Any of gb rom (tejas, miro, win) are way faster then ics and good for dayle use. Ics is just to slow, 5-10 to open dailer or sms app is iritating.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
i know people love calks roms but since he's not here anymore (as in on this phone, not xda in general...) I might suggest just moving to something like mijjahs goodness or blu kuban... those roms are both largely de-touchwizzed and look and feel more like an AOSP rom. Both are built from ff18, as opposed to the older leaked fe22 and have tons of great built in features like rom updater, which makes it really easy to be lazy and still have tons of cool stuff... additionally they are still very much being actively supported and are gaining tons of new features now that the devs have source to play with... I know you were just looking for a theme but this would accomplish the same thing and put you on an actively updated and more current rom at the same time.... one last note if you do go this route be sure to flash one of agat63 or chris41g's safe ics kernels to flash from, or Odin back to an el rom as stock fe22 kernel can cause emmc bricks...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
I highly recommend the goodness by Mijjah74, I may sometime flash another ROM but I always go back to his. He is making themes from his ROM so you can make it look how you want.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nim6us:
I just got my Transformer Prime about a week ago, super kick ass by the way, and I love SwiftKeys on my phone. However.. first off I think it sucks you've got to buy the SwiftKeys Tablet version. It wouldn't be that hard to just issue a license that let you download the SwiftKeys Tablet for free once you purchased the base model. Even better just create one version and have the user select in the initial options "Tablet or Phone" during setup. I haven't had to re-buy any of my other apps thus far, they all just work. So I wanted to call bull****, bull**** and get it out of the way.

Related to that I was wondering if anyone was just using the regular SwiftKeys app (meant for the phone) on their tablet with any success, or do you have to break down and buy the tablet version?

Next does SwiftKeys Tablet work with the Transformer Prime? I know because it has a docking station it's a little different, and when I downloaded the trial version of SwiftKeys Tablet it was kinda flaky. At times when I'd plug in my keyboard, it wouldn't type, and it was always prompting me to choose which is the default keyboard. So I wanted to know if SwiftKeys Tablet actually worked with the Prime and if so, were their some tricks I was missing?

Lastly in lieu of SwiftKeys is their a better keyboard app for the Prime? The default onscreen keyboard is okay, but the word prediction sucks, and it's not very intuitive. I know the Prime having a physical keyboard throws a monkey wrench in most of the keyboard apps, so is there perhaps a defacto app that's as awesome as SwiftKeys but is designed with the Prime in mind?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I've tried regular Swiftkey on my Prime, and it works, but not well. It defaults to the same behavior as on a phone, which doesn't translate over to a tablet very well. I think that the reason why there is two versions is because keyboards actually need to behave differently between phones and tablets, so there is really two separate apps that had to be developed. I'd rather not pay for two apps in this situation, but I'm all for free markets, and nobody is making anyone else buy anything.

As for other keyboards, I use Thumb Keyboard and I like it. Its word prediction isn't even close to Swiftkey's, but it's better than stock, and you can adjust the size of the keys, as well as lots of layout options. I mainly just use the dock for typing anything more than a few words, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
Doesn't Jelly Bean have lots of Swiftkey style features? Might be worth just waiting and saving money.

Mind you, that could be a long wait.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bob_ross:
Since I'm totally new to Android. When you select encrypt internal memory what exactly is going on? What does it encrypt exactly? Contacts? Memos? Messages?

Are there any know exploits / gaping security holes?

If my phone is lost or stolen is encrypted going to prevent any data theft?

Is it possible to have a separate (more secure) password that is just for device encryption other than the screen lock password? seems redundant that I must put in a password for device access and use the same password to unlock the home screen. Can two passwords be used?

Last question would be password. Is there a recommended minimum length? Don't want to type in a paragraph every time I unlock my phone.

Thank you for any info,

BR
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
It encrypts your entire drive, at least /data and /sdcard, not individual files.

It uses AES-256 encryption. Not even the NSA (or any other government agency, or anyone without a supercomputer) can crack it.

Supposedly, yes. But only if: 1.) You use a pattern/password/pin/face unlock on your lockscreen or 2.) You leave your phone off. If someone finds your phone, and you use only the slide lock and you leave it on, encryption is worthless.

I haven't used encryption, but I would have assumed that it would use a different password than the one for your Android user account. I'm assuming by your question that that's not how it works, in which case, that's kind of stupid.

Same rules apply to any password you create anywhere ever. A good mix of numbers and letters, no dictionary words, and probably 10 chars +. Use mnemonic devices to remember without making the password too obvious.

I should mention that you should also only bother encrypting if you will remain stock. If you plan on flashing ROMs, you'll just have to re-encrypt constantly. Plus, I'm pretty sure CWM and TWRP would be unable to wipe or install anything unless you unencrypt first anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] advancedbasic:
Eh, I wouldn't be so sure. If I can build a device for like $3k that uses an array of consumer grade graphics cards to test 30B+ hashes per second the NSA probably has some insane computing power. Not saying it's cheap, but if they want to decrypt something of very high importance I bet they can do it, even for 256-bit AES.
