[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbeddoesdesign:
My girlfriend has a Galaxy S (the original one) and she loves it. The fact that it's running Android meant she was able to turn the home screen and app drawer into a hideous mess of pink and sparkles...

I'd recommend skipping that for the S2 though. Absolutely AMAZING smartphone, near perfection, and you get ICS on it now so it's faster and more functional. I'd skip the Galaxy 'Ace' range as most people I know who have one struggle with it due to it being a little bit too underpowered for what it's trying to run.

Haha that happened to my girlfriends Iphone after i jailbroke it and taught her how to theme it. The next day she shows me her phone and its all baby blue and pink all over the place. I keep telling her all the theming stuff is easier on android but girls tend to like the iphone because it is more of a fashion accessory and dont tend to care too much about what their phone can do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbeddoesdesign:
Well in some ways iPhone can do more though, there's way more on the app store, you just have less control over the fundamentals.

She bought an Xperia U today. Pink on the inside AND outside, even got the light to go pink,lol

Thanks to Shadrach in #verizons3 for helping put the final piece in this together.

So it's well known that after your first reboot you will lose your phone number and therefore lose your ability to send MMS. Here is how to solve it.

Update

Needed: Phone Info (Get it from the market). (Needed only if you're getting 3g instead of 4g when you do this)

1. Go into system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. Change to NV.

2. Hit back button and then click airplane mode button on the menu. Wait for the connection disappear. Then uncheck airplane mode and wait for it to come back and give you an empty triangle for a connection

3. Go back to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. and change to RUIM. Repeat step 2 except you should actually have 3g or 4g now, depending on the build. If you have 3g then see below.

Using this method I can do the whole process in under a minute.

You may have lost data which is where phone info comes in. If you lost data:

1. Go to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks. Change network mode to LTE/CDMA

2. exit out that menu and 3g should come back but either way go into phone info.

3. In phone info go to phone information then scroll down and change set preferred network type to either LTE/CDMA auto (PROL) or LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).

Data + MMS is now restored. Enjoy.

Addendum: For some people the reactivation screen comes on after they switch to NV. You can ignore it and hit the home button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juancaperez2000:
Can somebody confirm that is working, also thanks for this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
several people and myself in channel confirmed it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juancaperez2000:
Could this work on AOPK JB
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shadrach47:
It should work on either, I would think. Haven't ran AOKP to try it out though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Smok3d:
This should work for AOKP, it is an AOSP rom after all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] suzook:
This works, and probably should be updated on cm10/aokp thread. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juancaperez2000:
Also, are we able to reboot the phone everytime after this or if we reboot we will be loosing the phone number again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shadrach47:
Unfortunately it doesn't stick on reboot. Hopefully it can lead us to find what's wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juancaperez2000:
Yeap i can confirm it work thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Works. Bit of an annoyingg process though.

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S 3 running CM10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Works.

I hope we can find a perm solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chadamir:
Does not keep after reboot, but I made a log and passed it on to cvpcs who is going to take a look into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Worked nicely. Not much of a process like this guy says. Don't be a bum lol :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] byproxy:
okay... so i guess my first attempt at a reply to eaten by the webnarnians...

anyway, question is this:

in the cm10 thread it was suggested by many that 3g totally sucked in cm10 and that if you weren't in a 4g area you'd have major issues with data connection on 3g networks. does this fix resolve that problem as well then?

i've been holding off on cm10 because of the concern over lack of 3g. i'm not in a 4g region so it's 3g or nothing for me at the moment. i'd love to give cm10 a whirl but don't want to lose data.

thanks for the info!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brenardo:
I can attest to 3G sucking balls. Paranoid Android is so badazz too but I just can't deal with lack of service

Is there an app for editing the music tags so the music that's supposed to be in one album won't be in 6 different ones? It's annoying to have my music all split up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] B5Z:
Try n7player (Full Version)... I was able to fix the issue by revising the tags within this app.

Good Luck!

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I'd pretty much rather use anything other than Xperia Home, but my main is launcherpro.

It's weird... LauncherPro's damn near abandoned, yet it's still more stable, smooth and battery/resource-efficient than everything normally receiving updates.

...even though I use LP, I notice Xperia Home likes to pop up every now and then just to suck up 15-30MB of my memory. Am I gonna end up causing myself sheer hell if I just rip it outta the system/app folder?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nabeel_Nabs:
As long as you have another launcher installed , you can uninstall the xperia home launcher.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] spikerosoft:
Every time i install a new rom i immediately install Go Launcher EX and delete the xperia home launcher :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Wow, so there's really no repercussions? ****in' A!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nabeel_Nabs:
~None at all! The first time I did this I forogt to set permissions for my launcher since I wanted it to be a system app and still managed to install go launcher via the android market(now google play :D)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Glad to hear! I quickly wiped it out, rebooted... and thing aren't showing any negative signs :)

I may even go ahead and wipe out all those obnoxious Xperia Home-only widgets.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Alpha Gamer:
Actualy, LP's stability and smoothness is why I stopped using it, it was terrible compared to what I use now. But hey if it works for you! Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing it updated
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Can I get a guide on how to make the go launcher and locker load up instead of the normal one?

Like what to backup and where to move it, crud like that.

I've got the ics theme on.both the launcher and the locker for the GO apps.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] d_zen:
You can just install go launcher and go locker from the market,

press the home button and choose to always load go launcher.

(and delete the xperia home.apk if you feel like it, for instructions look in my sig, it's the same for GB)

Install go locker, set it up and it just should work right away

You can't realy change lockscreens because part of it is in the sony framework,

all a third party lockscreen app does is sometimes disable the stock lockscreen.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Izzy Stinson:
Or you can just 'freeze' it instead of you don't want to delete it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
While I do like LP, I'm open towards the idea that something's better.

Out of curiosity, what do you use now?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vincientjames:
I used Launcher pro since the OG droid up until two months ago when I switched to the xperia S launcer. There are some features I still miss from LP but the xperia s launcher is sleek an very responsive.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Alpha Gamer:
Go

When I first tried it I did prefer Launcher Pro, but then it kept freezing and force closing so I moved to Go.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Ah okay, Go Launcher was actually a step I took between ditching stock and loving LP.

Haven't used it in a while though so my opinion may change. I could always give it another shot.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Alpha Gamer:
I wouldn't recomend it now if you say LP is smooth and stable for you. IMO Go is getting kinda bloated
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
I use 360 launcher v3.3 its on XDA somewhere.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sheraro:
forget about go launcher and its family it's just gaz-machine , I use holo launcher , it's basically ICS launcher for GB with lot of options , you can lock it to memory when you don't play games and unlock it when you do , plus it have a jellybean-like locker called holo-locker witch is just beautiful
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Alpha Gamer:
I tried it, couldn't use custom icons. Might as well stick with stock.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sheraro:
what ?? you just have to hold down on an icon and tape "edit" :eek: plus it supports all others icon packs now !
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
I actually prefer the xperia home launcher since it's not on my VZW xplay by default but that's just me i guess.

Yeah but the custom icon ONLY shows up on the home screen NOT in the app drawer which IMO makes the custom icon feature useless.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azoller1:
which kernel out there is the best right now? in battery life and speed
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
theres only one that fits best battery and fastest.. trinity kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
I like Trinity but Motley also did very well for me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leelaa:
This^ look at it this way. The nexus allready has great performance, it will handle any game you throw at it. (Unless not optimized for tegra 3) so wht else do you need? A kernel that gives amazing battery life. And what kernel is that..... \l/ TRINITY \l/

battery right now..

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
Ill say motley. I tried trinity kernel. Its good. But I getbetter performance,stability, and battery life with motley. All these battery screen shots really mean nothing. Why? Because none show real heavy use. I can easily get the same stats or better with light to moderate use. Show me some stats showing 8-10+ hrs of screen on time. With some heavy app or game usge. Anyone can use device for a few hours. Then leave it in deep sleep and show the same or better stats.

I've tried all the kernels out so far. They are all good. Its a matter of personal preference of features you want. Some pack things others don't. MOTLEY 'S ATM is the only linaro based kernel. So its using new additions/components. Better optimized. Benchmarks are cool but its real world performance that matters most.

I'm running stock rom with motley latest linaro based kernel with Zram, then CPU overclock @ 1.624ghz and gpu overclock @ 520mhz. I'm also undervolted -75mV across the board. So my temps stay low. Which equates to my device running at a higher performance speed longer.

The best thing about stock rom is I can measly flash different kernels and not have to worry about flashing a rom and setting my apps n all THST all over again. I can flash a kernel with no wipes and be good. Plus stock rom is the most stable ATM. Can't lie though, I am anxious to flash some roms. THST paranoid Android one looks really good. Along with the pure linaro based rom. That's the great thing about choices.

Its not a matter of who has the best kernel. Its more about what you looking for in features and personalizing your device to cater to our needs.

Asking who has the best kernel is like asking who is the best developer on xda. I don't think that's fair to the developers as they ALL work hard on roms or kernels. Forget the popularity contests.

THEY ALL THE BEST ;) lol. Some are just more seasoned than others. Which is OK. I love the fact we have variety of things to choose from. I've been impressed with trinity kernel, based on scores I've been seeing. But I'm also impressed with faux kernel and its a more straight forward one with lots of new Linux commits and additions. All the kernels have a personality of their own. I love the fact that twrp makes it very easy n simple to try out any kernel I want for nexus7. No matter who makes it. Every developer has its followers. You also have people who like to try out different setups.

Choice is a good thing! That's what I love about Android. ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoHaunted:
I've got to say for me trinity is the best kernel for the Nexus 7, updated daily and great communication with the dev makes this an awesome kernel. The trinity toolbox app is the icing on the cake.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
1. trinity kernel has been using linaro since april of 2011, on the nexus s, the gnex, and now the nexus 7.

2. zram is a placibo. theres nothing there

3. stock rom is good, but i prefer a pure aosp build. no, they are not the same.

4. and the last two paragraphs are the absolute truth.

5. really, you should try them all, let your device tell you which kernel it likes the best :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
Thing with zram is, its not for getting higher benchmark scores or immediate performance. Its more so for heavy multitasking. Is been proven to help. The placebo is on people who think its supposed to provide some immediate result. If someone is a heavy multitasker on their device, then zram would benefit them. If you not much of a multitasker, then zram will show no Bendix for you.

You are right though, about trying out different kernels and such. Pure aosp rom sounds good. I just hate having to reset up my apps n stuff. I know titanium good for that but me personally, I'm waiting for roms to mature more and have most things, of not everything working. All roms so far seem to have something not working yet. Which is fine. Nature of the beast.

I think I might give trinity kernel another try. I did buy the tkt app. But never used it in conjunction with the kernel. I bought it just for the automatic script it runs..lol plus to show support. I heard tkt app works best with trinity kernel plus allows you to tweak features only in trinity kernel.

Ill download the latest build Trinity has and see what's up. Performance and better battery life is always a good thing. Its gpu is overclocked to 520mhz also?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnVoYCoOkiE:
Trinity HANDS DOWN its been 3 hours on sleep and ITS still at 100%! + the ridiculous speed along with the power saving features. I may be new to the Nexus 7 scene but this is hands down to godly :o.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarjar124:
im not sure if gpus oc...but when u underclock..theres absolutely no performance difference..and saves battery too! 102mhz-1100mhz on demand/deadline..god like battery life. 4 hours screen time...still 45% left...shouldve been more if i didnt flash roms in between battery life. also under clocked, gta 3 and cs portable runs great and smooth still.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
thanks to simms, I tried out trinity again. I flashed the latest builds. ran some benchmarks. for some reason, my device doesn't like the highest speed on benchmarks. it kept rebooting during them. so I stayed at 1.5ghz. governor I used was performance and on demand. for scheduler I ran with deadline. i forced cpu online and put fysnc on faster, thanks to TKT app. on quadrant, I was more concerned with seeing if I could achieve those crazy high I/O scores. which I did. my overall score was good but I've gotten higher on motley. it could be higher on this kernel if I get the 1.6ghz+ speed to stick. I was more impressed with my rl sqlite benchmark test. scored 18 seconds overall. which blows away the competition.

so I'm impressed with latest version of kernel. definitely better than the older build I ran of it from before. some things I've noticed though. where is the ability to undervolt at? no option in tkt app and the voltages tab disappeared from system tuner. also, this build gpu isn't overclocked. or might be better for me to say its definitely not running at 520mhz. I could tell this by the fps from quadrant. its running 59-60fps. on motley with 520mhz gpu I get 70-80+fps. just some things I noticed. not necessarily drawbacks. kernel runs very good. just got to figure how to make higher speed stick. since I can't seem to adjust voltages on this build, I can't increase voltage or undervolt it. if this can be done on trinity kernel, let me know how. its not showing voltages in tkt app or system tuner.

overall very good kernel. will run it for a while to see how battery life is. I will likely underclock it like above poster mentioned for best battery life. I noticed nexus 7 still runs great underclocked. no lag.,no matter what kernel I'm using.

I've attached screenshots of my benches on latest trinity overclocked @ 1.5ghz. I know my device can take 1.6ghz cuz on motley I can run the speed fine, even through benches. so have to see why its not taking on trinity kernel. maybe voltage needs to be increased.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azoller1:
so it doesnt matter if trinity is still in experimental? its that good? i guess ill try that one out
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
there are more features that are going to be added, theyre being added all the time. ask gnex owners how the options grew(same app btw, different devices running trinity see different features in the app. so you purchase it once, and use it on multi devices. btw, voltage adjustment will be added, remember how new development is on the n7. also, if other developers added the options into their kernels, theyed be able to use those features with their kernels :D

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

thats just trinitys method of rotating the kernels.. starts off in experimental(every kernel is tested to boot and run before it every appears here), then it graduates to prerelease if it makes the cut, and then if you guys like it it makes its way to release. its just that trinity development is so new here that there isnt a prerelease yet ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
I've underclocked mines to 1.1ghz also. battery doesn't want to budge from 100% so far..lol. it's barley sipping battery. the UI and browser is fluid n smooth at this underclock. which is a good thing. the real test will come once I play nova3 shortly. if it plays lag free on this lower speed then underclocking is a winner. I set my governor to interactive though. you get better battery life than ondemand. using deadline also. with fsync set to faster.

I understand nexus 7 is still infancy, developement wise. its cool. just wondering if those features were included since the option disappeared. I could undervolt or increase voltage on motley kernel. the tkt app would let me do it on THST kernel as the section shows for it. but I like using system tuner for undervolting when I was on motleys kernel. can't wait to see what new features get added. plus once I get my new phone, hopefully there'll be a trinity kernel out for it so I can use tkt app with it. the build is very good.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfmate913:
What does everyone use to adjust CPU settings? I've got full version of setCPU from my OG droid days. Running motley now but about to try out trinity. Do all the current kernels require you to manually undervolt? I'd like to underclock and undervolt a bit for best battery life but I am afraid to mess with it. Should I just run it as is? Seems like everyone is more than satisfied.
