:confused:

What file can be use for cook a custom rom?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] goulashsoup:
Speculative:

fotakernel - Firmware-Over-the-Air Kernel:

So it is a Kernel (central core of a computer's operating system) which is responsible for over-the-air processes, so a Kernel that is in control of mobile communication, NFC, Wi-Fi and other stuff, because it is a major part of modern mobile devices.

kernel - Normal Kernel:

Responsible for connection between hardware and software.

In Xperias firmware both kernels are required, so there is no choice which one to choose.

Am I right ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Loccy:
I haven't seen this anywhere on the Prime boards. I didn't create "it", although I did take the three seconds or so to find the equivalent place on the Prime. If this is old news, or if it's not deemed "development" enough I'm sure someone will napalm it from your sight and send me the requisite XDA volley of abuse, but I thought I'd risk it and share in case it is useful to others.

Anyway, if like me you watch videos on your Prime you'll doubtlessly have come across the Tegra3 auto contrast "feature", apparently designed to save battery. This is not the standard built in Android auto brightness feature - this is a hardware feature that is supposed to dynamically adjust contrast on the fly to save on battery power. It's supposed to be invisible to the human eye but to my eye it is really obvious and distracting, particularly on video, and particularly at low brightness levels.

Turns out this can be controlled via

/sys/devices/nvhost/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable

So just pipe 0 or 1 into it to enable or disable it, ie

echo 0 > /sys/devices/nvhost/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable

(to disable)

echo 1 > /sys/devices/nvhost/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable

(To enable)

Do this either from a terminal app for a one off, make a script that you run in Script Manager, or put a script in your init.d. Note that I'm running Eos on my Prime, so can't confirm for definite that it'll be in the same place on every ROM, but I'm also running Eos on my Nexus and the place I found it there was the same as stock, so imagine the same will apply on the Prime and it'll always be in the same place regardless of ROM.

Discovered this on the Nexus 7 board in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818278
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xelstyle:
Used Terminal Emulator and typed in:

Whoops, forgot to mention. Originally that was attempted with Eos ICS nightlies, Cornerstone version 19 I think.

You must type "su" before, to have proper admin rights.

And this tip has nothing to do with a ROM or another, it concerns sysem files that are present in all ROMs, device hardware related.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nonpaq:
This is great!! I did not know that dynamic contrast could be turned off by software. Screen looks much better with it off, especially in power savings mode. This was originally a TEGRA battery savings feature. I wonder how much leaving it disabled will affect my battery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Agreed. Now power saving mode is finally useful.

in the agile lock you only get htc sence lock screen but in widget locker you get almost all the lock screen so i edited widget locker and remove htc sense and honey comb lock screen icon and in widget locker. live wallpaper is also applied tolock screen so you get ripple effect. its look like s3 lock screen but in real you only can unlock in one direction

I'm running Beans 8 but have to go in to manually refresh to get gmail. Is there a fix for this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Had you done a complete wipe when installing the ROM? I had this same problem when on an earlier version of Synergy, I brought it to eschelon's attention and when I installed the next version he put out I had no problems. Now I don't know if it had to do with anything echelon changed(because he did say he was going to change something to do with Gmail) or if it was just because I wiped and re-installed the ROM.

If you use Titanium backup to restore it also, that may be the issue because I restored all system info and data up until I had that problem and then just haven't used it on the upgraged of the ROM.

I would suggest wiping everything and then just re-install the rom and any apps manually.

Had the same issue. Wipe data,cache and format system. Should be good to go.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coversnail:
I was just wondering how useful and comfortable people find the Nexus 7 when using it to read ebooks? Seeing as the device is not much more expensive than your basic Kindle it seems like a bit of a bargain considering everything else it can do.

Obviously the screen won't be as good for reading as an e-ink screen, but do people find it ok to read for long periods of time without it getting uncomfortable or getting eyestrain from a back lit screen?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
I have no problem reading wth it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numus:
More comfortable than my old nook color was...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I've not noticed any more eyestrain vs. my Nook (original version). I still use my Nook when I'm reading outside in direct sunlight, because of course nothing beats e-ink in those conditions. The N7 is only barely usable then.

Another "problem" with the N7 as an ebook reader is that it takes a bit of willpower to keep reading. Notifications pop up, and the temptation is always there to do other things. So, the Nook isolates reading, and if I _need_ to finish something, I'll use the Nook.

But if you mostly read indoors and have good willpower, then the N7 is a great device for reading. It's taken over from my iPad 3, which used to be my favorite because the text is so excellent. Of course, the N7 is so much smaller and lighter and thus more comfortable, and text is plenty sharp enough.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofball2k:
Great as an ebook reader. For PDF's, it's not great mainly because of screen real estate. Still usable but text is very small.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekillbot:
It's fantastic. I use it to read with the Kindle app daily. It is light and feels good in your hands.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Comfy!

I use it almost exclusively for all my reading and it is comfortable.

I haven't tested PDF's. But the books look great.

Plus the device is light enough that whether you are laying down or sitting up it is still comfortable to hold for a long period of time.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewd:
I'll echo what everyone else has said about it as an ereader. Coming from a Nook Color, which is no slouch as an ereader, it's a much better platform.

For magazines, it's not the best, primarily because the screen size just isn't big enough to properly display two pages of a magazine. It gets the job done, but not as well as a larger tablet would.

It has been great on the eyes reading books indoors. I went ahead and sold my Kindle Touch this last weekend. The interface experience and processing speed on the Nexus just makes it a much better reading experience. The only advantage would be e-ink in a sunlit environment.

add a custom kernel to your N7 and it turns into a hotrod.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
I both loved and hated my Kindle Fire, but the one thing that I can certainly call a pro is the feel in the single hand. I find it hard to hold the Nexus 7 in one hand, while laying in bed, with the same grip and angle I could with the Fire. Other than that, this thing bests the Kindle in every other category*. I just find the more curved back, the softer and less "square" design doesn't allow for the same comfortable, yet firm, grip when laying in bed. I find myself shifting grip, angle of view to accommodate a comfortable hold. Should be mentioned that I am getting used reading in landscape mode more, but I prefer portrait. And the Kindle Fire even has a slightly larger bezel on the sides that allows for just that much more of a surface to grip and hold.

*The Kindle Fire was my first push into the eBook work, so I got quite comfortable with the Kindle experience. Google Play Books(?), as mentioned, is missing some of the basic functions / options that the Kindle app can provide, but it's still better than it was a time ago. I say it's still a solid offering, considering you can still use the Amazon Kindle selection, yet sadly, can't consolidate them under one roof.

I'm just happy I can finally shed the Kindle Fire; great community, encouraging support, but overall frustrating experience. The Nexus 7 is basically, essentially, what I wanted out of my Kindle Fire. Minor niggles do not detract.

Hello folks,

My boss has setup a broadcasting of the office calendar to the different personnal ical calendars of the employees.

In Ical, I can see the 3 multiple calendars regarding my meetings / deadlines & alerts.

I have been adding a corporate account in 'account and sync' on my GNEX with the required information (server, username, password...) and it's "almost" ;) working correctly.

The problem is only the first calendar which was added by my boss is shown and sync'ed on my gnex, others aren't shown in calendar settings / sync'ed calendars...

I have been browsing forums searching for a fix or a simple workaround but it seems I'm not alone to face difficulties on this topic...

Other co-workers (they have mostly iphones :cyclops:) have no problems and all the different calendars are appearing.

Any help will be appreciated!

I installed the TrueAncestor V1.6 LE rom on my Xperia Play and it works really great !

The only problem I have is I can't install Dead Trigger from Goole Play. It says my device is not compatible with this version ...

So i tried installing it with an apk i got somewhere else, and the game loads fine into the menu, but when I start the mission I got an infinite loading screen and the phone doesn't work anymore, only way to reboot is to remove the battery.

Can anybody tell me why it does'nt work anymore (it worked great with the official stock rom), and tell me what to do to get it working.

Thank you ! :laugh:

- factory wipe

- put back sd card

- restore apps and data

- sync contact from google

[General Questions and Answers] philippe734:
You need CWM recovery, installed from several ways like flash a kernel as cf-root. Then, you will have more options and factory wipe will be available.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

You can also directly tap on your phone this code :

*#*#7780#*#*

This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove following things:

Google account settings stored in your phone

System and application data and settings

Downloaded applications

It'll NOT remove:

Current system software and bundled applications

SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DD-Ripper:
Hey there everyone !

Is there any Custom ROM specially made for Gaming purposes on Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 ???

I had recently tried with HyDrOG3N-ICS and Resurrection Remix ICS v2.6 hoping that they would be good for gaming. However it was complete opposite.

Games, espicially Modern Combat 3(40% laggy in battles) and NOVA 3 (95% laggy in battles) were having huge fatal lags specially on Multiplayer mode which was not the case in Stock Samsung ICS ROM.

And another thing, with Quadrant Standard I ran the full benchmark and the results were:

Stock ICS- Around 4100 without any tweaking and all settings at stock.

HyDroG3N ICS/Resurrection Remix- 1. Around 3000 (Cpu and Gpu in stock settings)

2. 3684 in Cpu and Gpu at the Max settings.

So please suggest me a mostly bugfree (Like RR v2.6) ROM good for gaming purposes.

P.S:

(Please dont suggest me Siyah kernel) or staying with Stock

Edit: Im not a noob either that I dont know which Roms are good or bugfree. Im just simply asking for a Rom which enhances gaming performance.
