[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
This is not an answering machine...

Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.

While waiting on hold for Google support a few weeks back, I decided to slap together a wallpaper for my Nexus 7 (and its coming replacement)... and I rather liked what I came up with, so I figured I'd share it (them) here. The size is ever so slightly off, but it's close enough that the scaling isn't noticeable.

Lossless PNG versions can be nabbed below (sorry they're not hotlinks; I'm too new to the forum):

I like the pic but can't really figure out how to use it well.

If I go to gallery and choose set as wallpaper it gives me a crazy sliding box system that can never cover the whole pic. Is that what u guys are using?

Edit:it looks pretty small in gallery btw.maybe 1/4 screen

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jarayn:
This is driving me slowly insane.

I cant do it. The box wont get big enough to cover the entire picture so I end up with a stretched image.

This has been the only thing so far on android that seems ridiculously complex. Why cant I just choose the picture I want?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Andrew025:
It's really not that complex. The OP stated the size is slightly off, so it will looked a little stretched.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CharliesTheMan:
You can use mulitipicture live wallpaper or wallpaper wizardrii to set the wallpaper without cropping it. If you use mulitipicture live, you open the app by long pressing the screen, choosing live wallpaper, and then choosing multi picture live wallpaper.

You can then set a still wallpaper for each home screen or for all home screens, have it scrolling or not scrolling, have it stay put or rotate with the homescreen, etc...

I thought our galaxy nexus' could run games like this easily . But I get extreme lag on modern combat 3 anyone else ? We have a dual core and good GPU but still laggy why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Hey, we've seen each other lol :p

Just letting ya know there should be no issues, on the Droid incredible it ran fine. I'll be getting a nexus on Tuesday so I'll get the game and try it and see if it lags unless you fix it :)

Try turning down some of the graphics, it could be the rom and kernel too.

MC3 needs to be updated with JB SDK(API 16).

you can bet that won't happen because GameLoft always screws over the customers & games.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Yes. If they update their game's API, it'll run better if they do it right.

What rom and kernel are u using
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Dirty flash, is taking a rom made by the same person who just updated there rom and flashing over there previous rom without wiping.

I.e. still wiping cache and dalvik. Or vise versa and flashing another rom over the currently used one.

Ok so what I did was under clock to 750mhz and its smooth ? But when I over clock to 1.5 it lags a bit why is that ? Shouldn't it be the other way around ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
I've seen a lot of the overclocking/underclocking area, I ran Mc3 and it ran fine. Although Jesus my phone top got extremely hot! Not 100% sure the nexus is gaming optimized lol.. I did hear Franco's makes it where it don't over heat, but I need to balance the kernels with my terrible screen. I'm usually stuck on GLaDOS or Trinity.

Its possible though when overclocked on that setting it may not be optimized for the kernel yet. Also, for gaming its suggested to use performance. All I know is.. N64 - Legend of Zelda doesn't lag like the DInc :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
The Nexus isn't gaming optimized? You're kidding right? This is why I run everything stock 4.1.1. I have no issues, and no lag in any apps or games. Under/over clocking is overrated.

Could it be related to different versions? I can get pretty much all of my other games to run on my VZ GNex, but not MC3. It won't even open.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
What version on software are u on , jellybean or ics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Just an out of the box VZW Nexus. Have noticed Facebook is acting up too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
No one will bash you, but perhaps this is a Warez MC3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
For ICS (which u have) turn off WiFi or any network and run it and it should work For jellybean u have to turn on WiFi and start it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
I guess it's not impossible but I downloaded from the Play Store. My Evo just choked when I tried to play MC3 on it, so I just did a fresh install when I got my Nexus.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

Thanks for the heads up! Redownloaded everything, switched on airplane mode and it's working. This is why I love XDA. I doubt I would have stumbled across that info anywhere else I go online.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
NP man
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
So how's everyone doing on mc3 ? (Or any gameloft game ) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Just wanted to give a quick update. Contacted Gameloft customer support to let them know about the issue and got a response this morning. They provided a download link to try a fresh install. Unfortunately the problem is still present and a tad worse. Can't play even with all data switched off. It's just looping between the Gameloft splash screen and the MC3 intro screen. I sent a reply detailing the results and will let you guys know what I hear back. Hopefully Gameloft will be on the ball.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesInsights:
Ok there are quite a few possibilities..

Firstly, the latest version of MC3 on the play store is compatible with JB although previously it was not. If you are using warez, good luck finding an update or just go buy the app. The loop happens for older versions or because of this:

Secondly, the custom ROM or Kernel might not be using the original sd card binary. You can flash the original binary in CWM and can get it from a link in the thread for Franco's kernel.

Hope you can solve your problem

Thank you for the suggestions. I did purchase the game. Not willing to risk getting slapped with a fine I'd be working for the next twenty years to pay. :( I was actually just running stock ICS when the problem was occurring. No custom ROM or Kernel. I did send the updated information on to Game Loft, but still haven't gotten a response. Hopefully they can get something sorted out soon. I'll drop any news I get in here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Protogon:
A Windows Store recently opened near me. I figured I may as well give it a shot.

Currently running CM10, though I might switch back to AOKP Milestone 6.3 since things are a bit more stable there. Because the competition is done from boot, I can't have apps cached. It's probably a good idea to overclock this thing a bit, as well.

They can choose any challenge they want, and it's more than likely that they'll try to pick one that MS Corporate has identified to be a trouble area for my particular phone. Having a custom ROM on here might serve to level the playing field a bit, but by how much I don't know.

Certain things like disabling the lock screen and putting certain apps (Maps, Local, etc) on the main home screen are easy enough to do, but I was wondering if there was anything else to take into consideration. For example, the Facebook widget lets me update my status right from the home screen, a step less than needed with the Me tile on WP. Also, if I remember right, one of the challenges that has gotten a bit of notoriety is having to display two cities' weather data simultaneously. I think I can do this with a pair of widgets, but I'm not sure which.

Also, the prize is a $1000 MS Store gift card if I thoroughly smoke the Windows Phone (all six challenges). I'm not sure what they'll all be (I'd imagine a few of them would be lifted from the ads), but I know I can beat the Lumia 900 in a few of them.

Edit: Just thought of something - what if I were to use a WP-style launcher with some functioning live tiles to win? That'd really mess with them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Lol they did the same thing 3 months ago but they are lame because they don't let you go in with such high end device like the hox. Make sure to have a widget showing the time in two cities, that's their favorite challange
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DankestMango:
I'm sure you've looked into it, but heres a list of the most common ones they use, plus some of the conditions:

And if you can get a Windows Phone launcher set up and feel confident with it, please record it, I'm sure the looks on their faces will be priceless.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
From the rules in the link above:

"Your smartphone must be using the original, unmodified operating system that came standard on your smartphone. Any entries for which the challenge task has been pre-loaded are not eligible."

Oh well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodrain954:
wondows phone challenge is stupid IMO, MS needs to stop the nonsense.

Heres a windows phone challenge, have a ton of apps in your app store
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Protogon:
I'll have obtain a copy of the current rules from the store and pick through them. I'm not sure what the whole "can't have challenges pre-loaded" deal is, but if they disqualify me for having widgets while having live tiles pinned to the screen, that's a load of garbage.

Also, the part where it says I can't have an unmodified phone is at the least worded fatuously. Really? The version that came with the phone? Guess I have to go back to 1.85 and have nothing on it...

I don't think the employees would really be able to tell the difference if I came in with an AOSP ROM, but I suppose I could just pop the latest version of CleanROM on there and tweak it under the hood. Sense is pretty well-integrated into social networks, though I'm not sure if it's quicker than the multi-network updates from the WP me tile.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DankestMango:
Assuming thwy're smart enough to know. Just walk in with Apex / Nova / stock? I'm not sure how strict they are, but I wouldn't give them too much credit, their just sales reps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
If there were no rules I would : any 4.0.3 ROM to use beast mode kernel. OC to 2.1 ghz and use performance governor so it stays at max. Use dual core mod so both cores are always active, and last but not least go into developer and disable animations. And keep an ice pack near by so you don't have anything catch on fire.

LOL@ windows app store. Very true. Luckily play store in my opinion is as good as app store for iOS. I think its a little superior since it loads much faster and doesn't require a password to update and download apps. I hate visiting the app store on my iPad. Unbelievably slow. The whole os is sluggish compared to this...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Make sure fastboot is enabled. Many of the challenges are from power off....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Protogon:
Would fastboot allow for quicker initialization of apps from startup? I'm pretty sure the reboot is just to clear apps from RAM, and that boot time isn't part of the challenge.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
Seems pretty intresting, lol I'd love to try as well :p. Well anyways what i can help you with is for the ROM does it have to be stock? If not just pick somthing like CleanRom 4.2 and overclock it to 2.1Glz or 1.9 (Whichever works better for you). Second choice would be to use a Vanila rom like what your using. Other than that all i can say is good luck!

EDIT: Some reason, it didnt load anything other than the OP.... Oh well, only if you could mod... ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
In the videos I've seen some of the challenges included booting the phone from power off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] atticusmas:
Don't take it. They minus will call it the: we compare our flagship phone to your outdated one and choose challenges that we have selected that specifically target the weaknesses of your phone in order to get more people to buy our phones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Protogon:
Well, the idea is to overcome the weaknesses by eking out as much performance as I can and setting up my UI in a way that lets me do things as efficiently as WP can, like you can with Android. I could pop the latest CleanROM on there and the MS store employees would be none the wiser.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
in which I'm sure sense's fast boot would win :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You're going to lose, and even if you win, they're going to find a way to get out of giving you anything. People have tried this, and MS has screwed them out of it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
It's supposed to be "Stock" which can mean a lot of things, too vague.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Protogon:
Yeah, this is what I'm worried about the most. They could weasel their way out of losing by claiming most any modification I make the phone has taken it from stock. I'm not safe from this clause unless I run a 1.85 RUU, relock the bootloader and make no changes to the phone except from the initial setup.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
I'd be stunned if they don't do an eval of the phone after a loss. This is Microsoft we're talking about here. They didn't get big by being dumb.

And whoever put this program together for them would be an utter failure at his job if he has not already vetted the leading competitive phones.

I'd avoid it rather than get called out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyronJ906:
Lol why has no one mentioned the glaring issue of having to do a reboot on a custom ROM?

THIS IS INTENDED FOR INTERNAL HTC YADDA YADDA

(Or whatever it says) in nice big red letters on the splash screen. I think even sales reps are intelligent enough to call out that message. So, even if you could beat the challenges using the One X, it would *have to be* an official HTC ROM, right?

Or have I missed something since I switched phones
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
That's the boot splash. If you turn fastboot on and it's a hot boot all they see is the stock boot animation. ;)

As mentioned, you will also have to use a hot boot tool that doesn't come on a standard stock rom - as far as I remember...

Hot boot? Fastboot is on by default on stock roms.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Took the challenge today. First thing they want you to do is restart your phone. I had to quickly hide it because I didn't want them to see the bootloader message on Cleanrom.

I picked from a card. It was the Facebook challenge where you had to say hi to a Facebook friend and look at their profile.

I've owned a windows phone before so I knew I had lost.

Got the $25 gift card. People were very nice though. I might go again just to check out some things at the store. Is there anything you can buy for 25? Can you use the gift card towards anything or just the computers? It doesn't say on the card
