[Atrix 4G General] Radiobuzz:
Hello, I've been best friends with my Atrix since a little over a year now. We have had many experiences together and our relationship has bloomed a lot with time. I confess I haven't completely looked after my phone, I'm a little clumsy, specially if I don't get to sleep enogh. So almost a month ago, after getting up very early, I was reading a notification when my phone fell. I tried to grab it but I pushed it even more. It went straight to a cornered tile on my bathroom. This was the result:

And trust me, it's much worst in person than you can see there. Surprisingly enough the touchscreen works just as fine as it always did, even the notification area works fine (the top of the screen has been the more affected area), although I can't use the front camera anymore because there's a big scratch on top of it. Also something happened to the headphone jack because I can't use it anymore. Regardless of all this, the phone itself keeps working like a charm. I have been unemployed for a couple of months now, have a couple of bad debts so I don't have any money to fix it for the time being, so I have no choice but to use it like this.

But I have two weird errors, which has caused me to write this. The first one is related to the proximity sensor. Everytime I answer a call, the screen turns off as it should, but after the call end the screen doesn't come back on and there's no way for me to turn it, so I have to pull the battery and reset it. I tried to mark the option for the screen not to turn off when I pick a call but it keeps doing it regardless, so I suppose what I should do is to try to take the phone apart and see what's happening on the inside.

This pulling of the battery has led me to the discovery of the second error which I think it's the most interesting: 1 out of maybe 20 times that I do that, for whatever reason, a random app gets uninstalled from my phone. The first time it happened I blamed the app (growlr was the first), but then I saw it happened to Twitter, then to Google Plus, then to Script Manager. And it's not like it gets deleted completely, if I go to the app manager I can see it on the list but not with the regular name (ie: com.twitter.whatever instead of just Twitter). I'm using Neutrino but I'm not sure if I could blame the system, I think it's caused from the battery pulling in the same way turning off a computer by force can produce errors on the file system.

So has any of you come across problems like these before? Do you have any suggestions?

i am currently having recovey 5.0.2.6

How do i install [27.Jan.2012.] CWM Recovery Touch Beta 8 Release Candidate 1.

I tried flashing it through recovery i.e istall zip from sd card but it shows error status 7.

Please provide simple instructions.

Thanx
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you are using clk you can use fastboot commands to flash the recovery, if you are using MAGLDR you will have to use a DAF while using USB Flasher in MAGLDR.
[HD2 General] adil1508:
I have installed release candidate 2

Does release candidate have the DAR.exe files like a normal CWM.

IF yes then its simple.

Boot in MAGLDR and go to option 5. USB flasher

When the last line reads

USB....USB

then run DAF.exe on your pc

If it is a .iso image then u need to copy this image and paste it with the normal CWM files. Copy and replace when prompted

And flash the normal CWM the same way as above. But this time you willl have touch beta release candidate 1

I have seen the tutorials, but can't quite figure them out. I have ideas for a theme I would like to create, but just have no idea if how to get started. I'm pretty decent technically, but this is a totally different world of tech for me. I would absolutely be appreciative and my theme would remain free for all to use.

The WiFi receiver is much too weak in my Archos 80 G9 Turbo.

I wonder is it possible to plug an external WiFi receiver via USB.

Thanks for the replies.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] julle131:
Propably no, because it would require drivers, and it is very small change that they are build-in for your receiver.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Tweakurr:
The system would have to recognize the USB antenna as a second network device and therefore need drivers.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
I was in the creative mood and decided I wanted a boot animation with some style. My phone looks sexy booting up with this bad boy, so I hope it beefs up your Inc 2 as well. The full looping here is simply for presentation purposes. While the phone is actually booting, the spinner will spin infinitely until your ROM gets started up. Check the attachments for previews of all the colored versions.

I also made an Incredible S variant of this boot animation.

Let me know what you think!

Requirements

You just need root access to replace the stock bootanimation.zip with the download (whichever color you choose) here.

Instructions

1. Find your stock bootanimation.zip file. The location depends on the ROM but on AOSP this is usually "/system/media". On Sense it will normally be found in "/system/customize/resource". If it isn't in either, check "/data/local".

2. Rename the stock file to bootanimation.zip.bak (so you can revert if necessary) or simply overwrite it with the file downloaded from here.

3. Check the permissions of the new file. They should be set to ”rw-r--r--" as seen in this image.

4. Should be it. Reboot to see the magic happen.

Sense Bootscreen Changer

If you have issues changing the bootscreen on a Sense ROM or just want it done easily, try this app by vsaravind007. I haven't tested it myself but it may work for you.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Could we get a link, or is it still a work in progress.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
I actually meant that the .gif loops forever but the actual boot animation will stop after the ink disappears, leaving the text on black. No background would be boring :) I will update the OP

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Stock CM animation, or HTC? I did it the same as you and it worked correctly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Its just the black background with "android" glowing blue. I'll also add I've done this many times with other boot animations with no problem, maybe I'm missing something.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
That's really weird man. I'm running the same rom, and did it the same way. I would try re- downloading and re-copying... If you haven't already. Permissions? I am rw-r-r.

Doh! Permissions were set at rw-- so I fixed them and all is well, this is a really clean crisp boot anim

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Wasn't able to find this through search. Is anyone out there using Lightning Launcher on their Skyrocket? I've got it as part of the ROM on my Skyrocket, and am impressed with how little memory it uses and how smoothly it seems to run. Is there any reason not to try it on a Skyrocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
It is kind of pointless to ask this question. Why would you ask if there is any reason not to try it on a skyrocket, when you have previously stated that you already have it on your skyrocket? You have already answered your own question.

Lol redneck solid point, but ouch!

OP, what info do you need man? Your question was vague and terrible, but could be fixed with some clarification. Are you asking if there are known bugs on the launcher? Are you asking what's the most popular launcher?

Give us better clarity, cuz otherwise the answer is "nobody should try that launcher because it infects the mind and causes inefficient questions."

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Typo on my part. I meant that it's part of the ROM on my Captivate.

I'm looking for anyone who's tried it with Skyrocket and can tell me if (a.) it's got any compatibility issues or (b.) any bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Thanks for clarifying. LOL

OK, now that we know what you are wanting to know, I will answer your question with yet another question. Why not just download and install said launcher and see if you experience any compatability issues or bugs? It is not a big deal, you could always hold off on setting it as the default launcher until you are sure that it fullfills your needs or does not cause any problems. Then, if it doesn't suit you for some reason it only takes a couple of taps to rid your Skyrocket of its presence.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Yeah, idiot moments are fun.

I'm certainly not opposed to doing so, but seeing as how it seems to be completely unmentioned amongst Skyrocket owners, I was a little concerned that there was some kind of compatibility issue. I'm wiping tonight to go to Seanz's Dragons ROM, and I'll give it a shot then to see how it holds up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
So I grabbed Lightning Launcher and tested it out for a day or so. Without going into the unique interface of Lightning Launcher--something there's plenty of detail on elsewhere--I'll say that even though it's a more compact, lightweight launcher than Nova or Apex, the speed difference isn't very noticeable because of the power behind our Skyrockets. With my old Captivate, it's a godsend, and is one of the only ways I can run a stable ICS (CM9 on Captivate causes psychotic wakelock problems) thanks to its small system usage footprint.

On Skyrocket, while it's still a nice, clean launcher, the added features of Apex, Nova or some other "bulkier" launcher outweigh any minor speed increases. Battery usage might have been a touch lighter on Lightning, but not enough to make an appreciable difference with normal use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Thanks for the writeup! Although I am an avid Apex fan, after your review here and the fact that you brought this launcher into the light here so to speak, I am considering giving this a shot on a couple of my devices. I like the idea that the author has, of breaking it down into separate components to save on memory usage.

Once again, thanks for the heads up ..... HTR

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I'm also an Apex die-hard, but I'm keeping Lightning around as a backup on my SR (never hurts to have one...). Once you've figured out how it works, there's nothing out there (imo) more customizable than Lightning, but the interface is definitely different than anything else you'll find on the typical SR.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneturf:
Due to the particular way I like my homescreen arranged, I have started using this launcher. In particular, this is one of the few launchers where you can have label-less app icons or folders aligned with widgets on a row as well as be able to use ADW icon packs (I like to use round icons when possible).

However, I can find no support for it. I cannot even figure out how to use the home button to go to the default homescreen. The back button works as the home button but the launcher has no configuration for the back button, and the home button configuration does not have a choice to go to default homescreen. Does anyone who uses or has used this let me know if it's possible to use the home button as a home button?

Yes, I can even resurrect a year-old thread! Could not find any better place to post this, though. Perhaps themes and apps, but since this was the only Skyrocket thread I found discussing Lightning Launcher, figured it would be the best place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneturf:
Further information: Lightning Launcher appears to allow up to 5 homescreens but these are not your typical homescreens. Each can be a grid of up to 10x10 "normal" homescreens (yes, 100 of them each for a total of 500) you can access by swiping up, down, or diagonally. The apparent default behavior of the home button is to change from homescreen grid 1 to homescreen grid 2. I cannot find a way to make the home button go to the default homepage of homescreen grid 1, or I suppose a way to not go to homescreen grid 2 where I have no icons I just want to have 4 normal homescreens i access by swiping sideways on grid 1.

[Nexus 7 General] Lodovik:
I admit being a complete noob on the Android subject. I ordered my Nexus 7 16GB on july 9th and it will be (finally!) delivered tomorrow (the 30th). I live in Canada, and the wait has been agonizing. I ordered directly from Google Play.

So, what to do while I was waiting and impatiently checking my emails from Google? I've learned a lot from these forums. First, getting prepared for rooting this device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

I've read all the thread and since I'm using Windows 7 64-bits, I think I'm ready to cope with the driver issue some users have.

Secondly, I'm aware that I could get a N7 that has the screen separation issue so I also prepared myself to deal with it if it's the only problem and it's not too severe to return the device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800418

This fix seems to be the most promising one amidst the ton of threads and posts I've read.

I've also learned how to make a nandroid backup with the CWM recovery and I may spend a part of my $25 Google credit on Rom Manager Pro.

I plan to use the N7 mostly as an ebook reader, retrogaming through emulators, light surfing. Any other suggestions from you, Android experts?

S3 is supposedly getting updated to JB late in the fourth quarter 2012.

If you can wait, well then I say go for the S3, if not then go with the Nexus. Personally, my opinion is to grab the S3. You are on XDA after all! Grab yourself a custom Jelly Bean ROM! (The devs are everywhere on the S3 thread, expect one to come out soon if it hasn't come already.)
[General Questions and Answers] jamarious34:
Definitely the s3 if you are a rooter or not because even tho the s3 doesn't have jelly bean officially its definitely worth the wait. The s3 has a faster processor, better screen, more ram, bigger battery, and overall newer hardware! Its worth the wait for jelly bean!

hi maxx1601! i've a galaxy nexus and personally i think is the best android phone for some reason: first it's the official google phone, so the android developing is based on it and with jelly bean google resolved the few ICS's bugs; second it has a dual core cpu (is enough for all android operation and using, we don't need more), that make battery good against the gsIII that has in my opinion too many power enhancements like quad core cpu ecc. that cause battery drain under android, has got a user interface that is second to google pure UI, that personally love; gsIII has olso a too big display ( nexus display is enough bigger, good for browsing, gaming, texting, using apps like maps and google earth that need a large display). my advice is to buy the galaxy nexus, and don't forgot, the price is olso a good thing to keep in mind :D it costs only 399 $ now ( mabe less i don't know) and is full supported for updates by google and developers that have a solid base made by google. i hope it helps, I wish you have a good choice! :fingers-crossed:

And samsung was supposed to have ICS for most of their phones in the first quarter and didnt release them until the 3rd quarter. Thats probably the nicest thing about owning the nexus you know that you will get the updates and you will get them on time. The SIII will get support for updates until the next flagship samsung phone comes out and then they will put it on the back burner just like they did with the SII, skyrocket etc... That was the most frustrating part when i had my skyrocket, i had a phone that was less than a year old, had decent hardware and i knew it would probably never get updated past ICS, because once the SIII came out samsung and AT&T had moved on.
