[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
Hope they fix the quicklaunch bug (at least)! Kinda cool feature exclusive to Xperia S, but pretty messed up in the stock ICS & so in the custom roms based on stock ICS :(.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1st3r1:
weird. my quick launch always works fine.. in ICS stock rom, ics modded stock rom, and miui.

and i still dont find the need of wifi direct :D just me though,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
It works fine sometimes (like it should) but then it fails randomly other times. The camera button launches the camera app everytime when the display is on but it fails randomly with display turned off/ screen locked (tried it several times). And I have no such issue on any GB firmware (confirmed by downgrading many times). Also, if i flash the stock ics rom fresh with everything wiped, the quicklaunch functions ok temporarily, but then give it some time, play with the settings/ customisation (developer settings untouched though), the damn bug returns :(!

It seems you are the lucky one without this issue/bug but many including me have this issue on all stock ICS roms so far. And like i said before i have it on the MIUI rom and other ICS based custom roms as well!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
MIUI will always have the same bugs as the stock ROM because it is (loosely) based on stock. AOSP based ROMs such as CM9 might not have this bug.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
Yeah, i guess CM9 or AOSP might be the solution to this. I haven't tried CM9/CM10, as quicklaunch reportedly does not function in these as yet, and i am waiting for a much complete/stable version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdfahm:
Well, inspite of the toughness guarantee of the guerilla glass, the screen of my Galaxy S cracked when it fell down. Is there a way in which I can just replace the glass cover of the screen instead of changing the whole display which would cost a lot!!

Any links to where I can buy the glass and the procedure to install it would be really helpful..

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoslaf:
It's unfortunately not possible, you can only buy a whole display&digitizer part :/ ... I heard some guy did it, he heated it and then he somehow detached these parts apart but I think it's not possible to do it at home :/ ... and I don't think it worth to buy that part individualy, I would rather buy some used SGS from ebay, use display and digitizer and then for example sell the other parts ...or buy some broken SGS with screen&digitizer in good condition for noticeably better price ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuggerRUS:
The display and digitizer in our phone is one piece. Sad thing, but it is not possible to split them apart.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdfahm:
Thanks a lot for the responses!! Guess I'll have to go for a new display after all..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuggerRUS:
... or buy a new phone ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdfahm:
I'm thinking of a new phone.. but that won't be until Oct-Nov at least... maybe the next nexus phone.. will have to use my Sammy until then.. :o
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Hey, I need some testers to test my script to get back to 2.3.5 from the ICS leak.

These are the requirements:

1) You are on AT&T and have not bought your phone on the "grey" market, and still have an AT&T warranty.

2) You are not afraid to possibly brick your phone and are willing to get an exchange from AT&T's warranty department.

3) You will not blame me for possibly bricking your phone.

4) You will get praise when I release this to everyone and you will be thanked, and get thanks from everyone for testing this out.

I have a shell script that will work for both Linux and Mac, and a batch (.bat) file for the windows users.

Please ONLY reply if you want to test this, I will answer any questions you have about it in here as well. I will PM the DL link to the testers that have replied.

Now if you are still cool with this, please reply to this thread with the following info:

1) Which OS you use

2) That you are cool with testing this

I am looking for a few people from each OS to test this, so I will take the first 5 people who are on different OS' to give this a shot.

This is based on the patch files the Chinese/HK guys used to fxz back, and that others have verified works, for us. This does NOT use rsdlite.
[Motorola Atrix 2] leifemagnuson:
I'm in but not until late night. 11pm est. I'm on ics. I use win7 or Ubuntu 12.04

If you haven't picked up enough volunteers by evening pick which one you would like me to test.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ri4naire:
Cowabunga, Jim. I'm capable in Linux or Windows and have a Best Buy warranty so worst case scenario is a remanufactured phone. Also, I'm all about the glory.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
I can do it tonight Jim. I already have a replacement on the way due to a accelerometer issue. So im happy to be a guinea pig.

I'm on win7.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
I fall into the grey area with my phone but bricking would be good excuse to get a sgiii.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
I'm actually still on 2.3.6, but I got the leaked zip before it was pulled (never got man enough to put it on). So, if you don't have enough people by tonight, let me know and I'll install the leak and test for you (I won't be ready until later this evening ~8 or 9 pm est). I use Win7.

Praise, really?! Will they sing songs about me and everything?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Hi, my name is Apex, and I'm an alcoholic.

Just kidding, but seriously...

My SG3 buy-back deal seems to have fallen on hard times, as I cannot seem to locate a blue (don't know about owning a white phone, seems weird to me) SG3, so I still have my A2 and my girlfirend's A2 that she's upgraded to from the OG Atrix, as well I have the ICS leak and can help out also if needed.

At this point, I don't care about bricking one of these phones, as I will be getting the SG3 -in blue, once located close within my residential geography- but until then, I shall be at your service, should you so require my testing.

*I have warranties, and insurance, and a cavalier sense of adventure right now!
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
1. Windows XP sp3

2. I'm cool with the disclaimer
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
For the sgs 3, order from att online... I had mine in hand in 2 days.

[Motorola Atrix 2] aabaaf:
Jim,

I'm on Windows 7, warrnaty, and stock ICS leak.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Jim I'm available for testing. If there's any use. My A2 is apparently one of the unbrickable ones.

Edit: since my linux machine isn't back up yet and I've been too lazy to install it on another. it will have to be windows.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
So, it looks like we have several windows testers, and a couple that can do Linux.

Any Mac users out there? This should also work for you as well, 32 or 64 bit.
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
I can use my iBook. It's a PowerPC G4 running Tiger 10.4.11
[Motorola Atrix 2] jspugh:
1) Windows 7 Home

Windows XP SP3

2) Cool.

Upgraded in October 2011 to this phone. Not refurbished. Version 1. Originally with 2.3.5. Updated to 2.3.6. had it rooted on 2.3.6 and have tried all the roms available. fxz to 2.3.5, updated to 2.3.6 and was running Romulus for awhile. From Romulus I flashed a backup of what i thought was 2.3.6 that I had and updated to the leak. Did not flash first time (android lying down with triangle) and flashed again and have been on it since. Have had no problems, battery, network or otherwise and it did NOT overclock (still at 1 gig). After the flash i had no root (tried to keep with ota rootkeeper). Could not root, even using the batch file. Had to remove bootstrapper files. Finally updated to newest drivers and gained root using batch file. Currently on the leak, running apex launcher and just installed BootMenu Manager. And i do have insurance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Would love to help but hard bricked my **** trying to FXZ back from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 a few hours ago...how stupid does that sound? Got stuck at 5/18 in RSD on reboot bootloader...just sat there...no choice. Tried unplugging and battery pull...wont even turn on. Great!!! Now my dad got a two year insurance plan on this phone for like $200 before he passed. Will I be able to get a Brand new one in return or you think it's gunna be a CLNR? Damn I'm pissed at myself! :mad:
[Motorola Atrix 2] dicksteele:
Im in. If you need more.

Running win 7 - 64 bit

On ics leak, supercharged # 7
[Motorola Atrix 2] sp3c_0ps_o7:
I'm game I have one att just sitting on the shelf
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
If you've ever been on the ics leak you'll still have to use the revert ics files to go from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 unless I'm mistaken.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Okay. Not trying to hijack, but... found the SG3 in blue at my local AT&T store. Got a better buy-back than Best Buy was going to offer (this week, go figure) and Jim, I'm having a nerdgasm. Awesome doesn't begin to describe! Still have the other A2 if you need a test rat.

Okay, back to the topic. Sorry for boosting this thread...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
Mannnn, we just had a whole debacle about how exactly that will happen and don't do exactly that. Please do some reading before you flash things. :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] chrisn91:
Correct once on leak u have to keep using the reverted ics fxz. I accidentally use the old 2.3.6 file when I bootlooped on gb (didn't have cwm on boot setup) not I got a brick
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdhoggattjr:
+1

Until we find out how to pop the efuse.

Sent from my MB865 on ICS
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clericgram:
I can, if you are still looking. I am on att sc7 ics, win 7 x64.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Cool, just wait until you get CM9 on it..... I am loving it even more now that I have been running for a while, and with all the updates I just have to flash it every 2 or three days to see what more bad A$$ stuff they have in it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Yeah that sucks....You came from the ICS leak right? IF so you already had the 0.72A bootloader and RSD tried the flash the 0.65A and you hard bricked. Basically the only way ICS user can FKZ is from the leak, and not from 2.3.6
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Thank you to everyone who posted and was willing to possibly brick for the cause. I have sent out the invites via PM a few min. ago. So Thanks again for volunteering, I will not need anymore volunteers today.

I am hoping that I will have the final version of this out tomorrow or Tues at the absolute latest (in case I need to fix issues, Tues. is a worst case).

Thanks again!
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Hahaha this made me laugh. I think I may do a little more reading then you sir. Your probably assuming I was trying to flash to 2.3.5 from 4.0.4 which is not true. I DID flash back from 4.0.4 to 2.3.5 no problem. My problem was going from 2.3.6 back to 2.3.5. Nothing was ever written in a thread about this issue I'm sure I would have read that. Anyway...not too worried about it, will be getting a new replacement for free so I'll keep bricking with pride for the next two years.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Just for next time, remove mbmloader from the XML, and replace the mbm.bin and lbl file. I am 98% sure that would have fixed it and not brick you. That or apply the ics leak and go back with the patched fxz... lol go forward to go backward. I am testing several scenarios now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jeffdaman:
In every village!
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Just waiting for morning to give things a go need phone to work for the night or gf will kill me..... In morning if bricked down to buy a sgiii ( sry Jim hope it brick so I can get a new phone LOL ) ..... Will post back ASAP.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] seraphielx:
Sooo a bit of info if you get a low battery in ap boot after a failed flash and the phone will not charge you can take the battery to battery's plus and they will be able to charge it for you for free...

I had a issue with the bat where it had a extra cd in it has anyone been able to get that puppy working after it was updated?

I should have one shot to flash it from the parking lot before the battery dies again and I have to take the phone to att to get a refurbished and loose the soak test push
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
:good::good:.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Thanks everyone, the final version is in the dev section.

Installed... Now to check it out!

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Weird... it installed through CWM, I ensured to wipe the caches, rebooted and... stuck on LG logo
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
You have to wipe data if you are coming from a different ROM.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
installed and working well so far..........thanks HO!NO!

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

well, right away, it's smooth.........real smooth. very smooth. the input/tactile response is noticeable different too and better IMO than any other rom we have. and the display looks crystal clear.
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
Flashed without a problem. going to try it out for a week and then go back to AOKP. Thanks HO!NO!
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
it's got a ton of crud loaded up on it eh! i think i just froze/deleted 50+ apk's!

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

also, this was strange, i 1st restored the original att rom, wiped data then flashed this and when it finished and booted up it had my cm10 wallpaper showing! weird right?
[LG Nitro HD] osmosizzz:
Holy jesus this thing is smooth. Very smooth! no hickups yet. lets see how it stands though
[LG Nitro HD] ronyalam:
So its Rooted??
[LG Nitro HD] RealyPssd:
Sorry to ask, is this rooted/rootable?

Thanks for the great work you guys are doing!
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Yes, it is Rooted

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Not really... Some ROMs actually restore your wallpaper when you sign in to Play Store. My old Sony Xperia did it every time I reflashed.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
that home launcher is niceeeeee, has some cool widgets too. i'm impressed.

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

so they removed the option to display battery % but kept that stupid ATT logo in the nav bar. derpers.

edit, oh thereit is , in power saver settings.........

I think Google restores your background from the backup it keeps.

[LG Nitro HD] ahdoublexl:
Still getting stuck on the LG logo on bootup after flashing the rom. I wiped data, caches, from within CWM. It just won't boot. Unsure what I am doing wrong here. The instructions are pretty simple.
[LG Nitro HD] houstonsveryown:
Been using this for about 10 mins. This thing is incredibly smooth!!!!!!
[LG Nitro HD] lmarranzino:
I just tried the oldway of flashing this.. Being I am stuck in CWM on my phone from yesterday.

Downloaded and than pasted on SD card put it back in the phone pulled the batery. Then I flashed it twice, rebooted and still in CWM yet it said installed on the bottom of the screen I got the Install Completed.

I have NO clue what is up ... Can't return it wih CMW sitting on it for sure...
[LG Nitro HD] MrNubz:
bad download maybe? wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache, flash zip, reboot is what i did
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Muessig:
So I've been using my hero for a good 3-4 years and its been rooted and I've tried a variety of roms up to and including the ICS ones more recently. So I guess this thread is really me asking much more experienced people what roms, settings etc to use. I've tried Elelinux which was great for a long time but recently it seemed to not respond to my input so well and other roms don't seem as stable or quick generally.

But throughout my time using different roms etc i've heard about SD Card Partitions but I've never actually done it and I'm wondering 1) how and 2) why? what benefits do you actually get from doing it?

Another question I have is the recovery when you're flashing a new rom etc - I have one I downloaded from these forums a few years ago after I first rooted my phone and I've never thought to see if there was a different version or different features. I heard that there is a version 5 of Clockwordmod I'm wondering if its better than the RA-hero 1.7.0.1 I currently have. Another question I have is, if I do flash a new recovery will I lose my current backups?

Finally, I'm interested in finding out which is a quick, stable rom that will be good for daily use. I've tried MIUI and an early version of SCHPONGLE if that's the current name, by 1cebox and they're quick roms but not quite stable enough for long term use. I don't mind what version it runs as long as it can run Google Maps, Youtube, Sony Remote and IMDB apps.

Any advice?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] askariwa:
The answer to why partitioning an sd card is here. I have done it and it really helps my little Hero since it doesn't have much ram. Instructions on how you can partition the sd are using Amon RA are here.

Flashing a new recovery (like the last Clockwordmod available on Hero) does not erases your backups, i know that by personal experience ;)

Clockworkmod has the ability to allow you to browse the directories for zip installing instead of having the zip files only on the root dir. It also can install zip files even if there are not signed properly. The only problem i had (with the last version) is that it doesn't support old upgrade scripts but i can live with this "bug". To me, Clockworkmod vs Amon RA is just a matter of personal taste.

If your main language is English (which is not my case :(), i suggest you the SCHPONGLE Rom which is really fast and well done. Everything works just fine there as 1ceb0x made a great job !

I am actually using the Elelinux-7.2-Hero-v3.9 which i can have in Italian and has everything working well enough. I am expecting the fix of GPS and pinch-to-zoom bugs in [ICS 4.0.4] AOKP [Team Legacy] rom because after testing the CM9 made by jordfaz, for fore than 2 weeks, all i can cay that it's fast (really fast !) and that i turned back to Elelinux-7.2-Hero-v3.9 only because i miss GPS.:(

Have a nice day
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thienthancongtu:
I wanna install Kingdroid 3.0

Currently on rooted Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566root@DELL87 #2

Can i just download the whole packaged which contained fransco's kernel v3.0 and flash it straight via CWM recovery?

Then after that install the rom?

current kernel > fransco's kernel > install ICS rom???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
What u can do is flash abyss kernel (which is GB) and then reboot recovery from advance options. Then full wipe and just then u can flash ICS rom.

I guess that Franco's kernel is safe but not sure and it is not worth the risk....;)

Any GB firmware or kernel is safe to wipe. Also all the roms that are built from source such as CM9 are also safe....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thienthancongtu:
Hi there

Thanks for replying but im already in GB kernel aint i? is it really necessary to flash to another GB kernel? (abyss kernel)?

And after installing ICS rom v3.0 (kingdroid) >>> may i still be able to overclock the CPU???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Ahh if you are already in GB then, there's no need to flash another GB kernel or firmware Sorry, I am new to the Note and I am not used to the names yet.

If you are rooted already you can flash an overclocked kernel or install SetCPU or other daemon controlloer that allows you to overclock the CPU, there's no need to use a custom rom for it...
[Nexus 7 General] stravieso:
My first two days with the nexus 7 were amazing, but the battery wasn't that good as Google said.

Looking at the processes, there was a Wallet app that I did not used,that was draining the battery.

In settings - wireless & networks - more, I disconnect the NFC tick, and now the battery really works great.

I hope this helps someone.
[Nexus 7 General] josefmawas:
Thanks for your tip, I will see how battery life is now
[Nexus 7 General] NFC Guy:
This seems to be a bug with Google Wallet on the Nexus 7. NFC itself uses very, very little power. You won't see any notable difference in battery life on a fully-functioning phone (without a malfunctioning Google Wallet) if you turn off NFC.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
When I enabled NFC on my Galaxy Note I was afraid of seeing battery life issues, but I've seen zero additional battery drain in real life usage. As said above, app issues might be a different story, I don't have Wallet on my Note.

If you don't plan on using Wallet you can disable/freeze it.

This all said, the Nexus 7's NFC is weak, I have to TOUCH my MiFare 1k's for the N7 to read it, the Note can read the same tags from 2" away. Only reason it really matters is that I have a tag on the underside of my palm rest at work to force the Phone/Tablet into "work mode" (quieter profile basically) and the Note will read it as-is, N7 I have to flip the stupid pad over to read it.
[Nexus 7 General] NFC Guy:
Are you sure you're touching the tag to the Nexus 7's NFC 'sweet spot'? The antenna is right below the Nexus logo, as shown here:

http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/UViY1ZeTrC1JPYso.huge
[Nexus 7 General] yogevx:
thank you for the tip
[Nexus 7 General] krohnjw:
This is wallet, not nfc.

NFC when running (screen on and device unlocked) accounts for less than 1% of drain. If you factor in all of the screen off time and the associated drain it will account for far less than 1% of overall power used.

Note that 1% is an actual number, not a guess. This was discussed at io and the power consumption measured by Google.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Yeah I experimented quite a bit actually and I decided that was the sweet spot even before seeing the tear down um I was using the right place is just pretty weak compared to the galaxy note.
[Nexus 7 General] Comg:
Im going to have to respectfully disagree with that assertion. After the 4.2 update, this has been happening to my tablet. If anyone has any suggestions besides disabling NFC, please let me know.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] chismay:
ive had nfc switched on with the 16 gb i did have for a week and now the 32 gb ive had or 2 days...... ive never seen that bluetooth nfc charge claim before at all.
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
Yup.. Wallet not NFC.. Only reason to turn off NFC is a security thing, not a battery thing.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
This is true.. I turn nfc on Only when iw ant to use it.. Which has been 3 times since i have had my device.. Anyone on a rooted device with wallet setup.. I would recommend you keep it off. There is no real reports of credit card info being stolen . But why take a chance. If you are root and use wallet/nfc app. Google will NOT help you with theft by nfc readers.
