[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.

Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.

Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.

I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.

Good luck

Vs Nexus S4G using tapatalk2
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg2826:
There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.

Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.

And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.

Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacob66:
MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. ;) Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%

EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.

Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.

Why do browsers developers in Android make the title bar scrollable with the actual page?

This means that the input box disappears once we start scrolling down and that one has to scroll all the way back to the top to input a new web address.

I checked the settings in both the stock browser and Dolphin, to no avail...Am I missing something?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jillybean:
Try ICS Browser + It is basically the stock browser with some extras, and It has a setting to show the navigation bar using 'short fling down'. It's the browser I seem to keep coming back to.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_t_b:
Probably to provide more screen space. You can use Firefox/Firefox Beta/Aurora if you like. Aurora is the only one with Flash support for tablets, but it's buggy support (expect crashes). Otherwise I like Beta and Aurora.

Don't have to scroll to the top at all, just touch the tab and it will bring up the input bar wherever in the page you are.

Excellent suggestion! :good:

Love the ability to auto-switch to full screen once the page is loaded and the possibility of enabling "side sliding" control pads.

[Asus Transformer TF700] terrapin69:
Looked around the web and saw numerous posts and discussions on how the new TF700 sufferes from Light Bleed around the edges - Now, mine is brand new and the ONLY time I notice ANYTHING is on boot up - and even then, it's "light" from the lower left (not corner) - however, it disappears completely during use and is 100% unnoticeable - Is this light bleed and, if so, a defect? will it get worse over time? I have heard of customers returning units only to get stuck with tablets that are far worse than what they started with - I'm quite sure that my local retailer isn't going to sit there and open every one they have so my anal self can check this out...You thoughts?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djpingpong:
Hey guys. Just hoping someone can help me out here. I have been running CM10 with the Paranoid Android ROM for the past few days. It was cool but I've been having some issues with calls not going through so I decided to flash something else. I'm running CWM non-touch and for some reason I am unable to flash from external SD and it isn't letting me mount the internal SD.

I've been looking for a .tar file to ODIN back to stock but I can't seem to find one. Can someone point me in the right direction? If there is just a way I can mount internal through CWM that would be great because I can just flash and go about my way but it seems when I mount internal, nothing comes up on my PC. Thanks in advance!

Weird thing too is that I've been trying to get into download mode and although I am getting to the correct screen that asks if I want to proceed by pressing Vol Up, it takes me right back to the stuck bootscreen that says Samsung Galaxy S III.

EDIT: I'm on CWM 5.8.4.7 btw.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s_snk3:
im not really sure why its taking you back to the boot screen from download mode, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737855 there you can the rom to go back to stock, hope that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You should really consider trying twrp instead of cwm. I didn't think id care for it over cwm, but after using it, I love it! It'll have the option to flash from int or ext.

For the stock .tar check the dev section. There are a couple versions there, or you can download direct from samsung.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] goldchang:
Hi,

I’ve been working on trying to connect my USB GPS dongle (Chipset: Ublox 6) to my tablet through USB OTG Cable. Since my tablet isn’t popular (Can’t find on the forum’s list), I had to do it myself.

(My knowledge about Linux isn’t that good (I’m a high school student who is on summer vacation), please forgive me if I made a mistake :D )

1.Ublox said the driver for Linux is cdc-acm, so I downloaded from a website and tried to install the kernel module (cdc-acm.ko) through insmod, but a vermagic error came up, said that the module’s version is 3.0.8 and mine is 3.0.8+, I tried using insmod –f , still no good luck.

2.Then I tried to modify the module’s vermagic with a HexEditor, install it again, but I got a “Segmentation falut” error.

3.Then I tried to use “busybox modprobe cdc-acm”, but it says “cannot parse modules.dep”, so I tried to create the folder “/lib/modules/3.0.8+” manually (I know this could be silly), then “busybox depmod”, finally run “busybox modprobe cdc-acm” again, but still the same error.

4.Then I remember that when I plug in the device, dmesg said

“usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using….”

“usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1546, idProduct=01a6”

Then nothing happened.

5.At last, I found out that I have “usb_modeswitch.d” in /etc

And my device profile isn’t listed there, but how could I know my device’s profile?

I know the vendor, the product, but how about the “MessageContent”?

By the way, what’s the difference between “DefaultVendor” and “TargetVendor”, “DefaultProduct” and “TargetProduct”

I know the post may be too long,

But to sum up, Is it possibly going to work if I create my Device Profile and everything will work out?

I still doesn’t have “cdc-acm.ko” install yet. (Though I already put it in /system/lib/modules)

By the way, I don’t have the folder /dev/ttyusb0 /dev/usb/tty0

I only have /dev/bus/usb/001 with nothing in it.

Sorry again for my bad Linux knowledge. :)

Thanks A Lot!!!

Would it be worth sticky-ing this thread to the top of General?
[HTC One X] Feregorn:
Great thread mate. I sincerely believe that it deserves to be stickies for everyone to see, because you did a very thorough and detailed Jacob that will surely be helpful to newcomers. You deserve your own praise too. I'm one of those holding back on unlocking my HOX since I'm waiting for an unofficial unlock method and contemplating if it's even worth holding on a HTC device and not just going back to my iPhone which was easier to hack and modify (imo).

Better to recommend HTC Sync Manager as that's for the One Series phones...

Check back to this thread soon!

I'm going to write into my reserved #2 post about how to get the best out of your HOX for gaming!
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I mainly choose HTC Sync as it's the only one I've used and I thought I'd only write about what I know so that way I know it's reasonably accurate.

Thanks for the tip + link EddyOS, I'll add that into the OP as an alternative.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Good one! Explained everything required. N00b friendly xD
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Thanks that was what I was aiming for ;)

I figure that even if something is really complicated to do (which granted not much of what I wrote about is), if you write the instructions with proper and correct grammatical English then people will understand it a lot better.
[HTC One X] neoandresk:
Hi the last hylians, i currently new with hox, mine previous was sgs. It looks difficult to install custom rom with hox rather than sgs. First i want to know, mine software is 1.29.707.11, can i install all the custom rom or just a particular one with the same software. Thanks
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Hi there,

As long as you have a decent grasp of the English language and can follow instructions reasonably well then installing a custom ROM isn't too difficult, I'm sure you could muddle through ;)

.707 is that Malaysia/Indonesia?

I believe that you could install a custom ROM that would be x.xx.401.xx as you'd be unlocking the bootloader so theoretically can install any OS on the phone that you like, the region for the OTA therefore wouldn't need apply as you wouldn't get FOTA's afterwards anyway.

It might be worth asking on the Android Revolution HD thread and posting a link to this thread so that way you can get a 2nd opinion.

Afaik you'd be fine however.

T-L-H
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
This isn't knocking the guide, as it's good, BUT everything you have here is already available online if people were bothered to search for it - especially the bootloader unlocking as HTC have a detailed guide on their own website

You should also highlight the importance of downloading the RUU for your phone before unlocking. If it's not available add a note to proceed with caution

Still, good work :D
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Thanks for that, I should mention about downloading the RUU for the phone in case you want to revert back, I was going to add that into the reserved #2 post at a later date, 'How to revert back to Stock'

Yeah I'm aware that there is a lot of info out here on XDA already but like I said at the start of my OP, it's all in different places, some of it is difficult to understand and it's quite fragmented in parts and there isn't really a 'Start-to-Finish' guide out there, or at least not one that I've seen. Even then, people can still find what they need, have access to all the relevant tools but still not be able to proceed, either due to lack of English skills or understanding, intelligence etc... So I thought I'd write it up in real 'laymans terms'.

But as you say, the info's already here for those who've learnt to use the search button :p

[HTC One X] Porsche.V:
Hi mate! at first, thanks for this "noob" tuturial! i think i'm going to try it later.. i have some questions i would like to know before i continue as i don't root/flash roms since my htc hero.. would be thankful if you cared to help me :)

i have just installed the ruu on mine with 4.0.4 and senses 4.1.

- Will i be able to make a complete rom backup of my actual rom (exactly as it is, with my configs, apps, etc. i user to do it everytime when i was flashing a new rom on my hero so i could revert if anything went wrong or i didn't like the new rom).

- if not, is there a way to reinstall the ruu or the official rom later if i decide for it so i can receive official updates? In other words, can i revert to an "original" state?

And finaly, is there anything that is not working on revolution rom?

thanks a lot!
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Hey Porsche. V,

The answer to both of your questions is essentially 'Yes'.

You'll find in my OP one section called 'Backing up your data', depending on which instructions you decide to enter will depend on what gets backed up, take a look at that section and the forum thread that I linked to from that, that'll give you an idea on what to enter into CMD.

It'll be something like

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\backup\backup21082012.ab

There's a good list of the factory ROMs here, download the relevant one for your handset, RUU etc... then put the phone in fastboot USB and enter into cmd from cd \Android\fastboot

fastboot oem lock

That'll relock the bootloader, I think that's correct anyway, never done it myself, I know many others have however but yes you can revert back to how the phone is stock, bar the Bootloader saying 'Relocked' instead of 'Locked'.

You can also make a Nandroid backup (always recommended, I should add that into my guide) before flashing any new ROMs, especially when coming from stock

yes, you can use your HOX for mass storage but when its connected to pc u can't use apps that are stored on ur sd
[HTC One X] trevagreene:
Thats my concern, I unlocked, rooted, ROM'd before downloading the RUU for my region, so now I can only guess what it may be as there are multiples for mine. Is there a way to determine what RUU to download ? For mine, there appears to be two ( OPTUS Australia ), but no idea which one is applicable, or even correct.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
This is the international HTC ONe X Forum, you need the AT&T Threads.

Regardless of that, did you manage to get it sorted out? Make sure that you are targeting at the correct place in CMD and that you have enabled USB Debugging ;)

Yes you can still use Astro, as someone has said here however you cannot use Astro if you're connected to a PC via USB in Disk Drive mode

I asked Hamdir to proof read this thread when I first posted it and he himself advised me to add in about custom kernels and the Renovate Gaming App etc etc etc...

but as I've not done much with those myself I figured I'd mess about with them first and learn about them, that way I can write down what i know about rather than just rehashing Hamdir's threads

I must admit I forgot about the original RUUs part of this tutorial, mainly due to the fact that I forgot to get the RUU for my HOX version. I'm looking into adding in something about that.

Can't you find which RUU you need from your CID? cross referenced against which software version you're on before? I'm not 100% on this, so EddyOS might be able to clarify.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
What software version were you on before rooting? Chances are you were on 1.29.980.11 and the last RUU is 1.28.980.10 so you're stuck unless the latest leaks
[HTC One X] trevagreene:
I'm not sure what CID is ?? And dont know what software version I was on. The Android version was 4.0.3, but don't know what the Baseband Version was, or the Build Number.

Previously, I owned a Sony Ericsson X10, and you could flash, root etc - but you always had the option of going back to stock using the Sony Ericson PC Software and issue a repair, which basically reflashed back to stock. So even if your phone wasn't booting, you could issue a "repair" and once back to stock you could start over again.

It would be great if we had that ability.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
We kind of do already, it's called a Nandroid backup.

I know you've got to unlock the bootloader and root the phone but before you flash a custom ROM onto the phone you can make a Nandroid backup of the phone as it is when it's stock, then if you flash a custom ROM and don't like it I guess you can restore the Nandroid backup so the phone will go back to it's stock ROM.

But maybe I'm getting my wires crossed and you mean something different.
[HTC One X] trevagreene:
So where would the nandroid backup be kept on the sdcard. ? I tried looking for it but couldn't find it. Appreciate your help.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
When you connect your HOX to the PC, in the root of the SD card there's a folder called 'Clockworkmod', inside that folder there's another folder called 'backup's, inside that is all of the backups you've made, so you can either copy across individual backups from inside the clockworkmod\backups folder or the whole folder itself.

Again, this is only applicable if you've rooted your HOX as you'll have installed Clockworkmod Touch Recovery.

I hope this helps :)
[HTC One X] trevagreene:
Ok, yea, I checked that previously. It's got a backup but it isnt the original one. I suspect I never did a backup once Clockworkmod recovery was installed. Silly me. So, back to the orginal question, minus the original backup, is there a way to get back to stock in absence of the original backup, unknown CID, RUU etc...or am I stuck flashing custom ROMS and hope nuffin goes wrong where I have to go back to stock.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
for those saying this guide is a repeat and users should use the search button

i never been a fan of xda regulars repelling noobs

we have a lot of new comers, some completely new to android like iphone converts

this guide is perfect for those who want a step by step guide :good: especially since its located in the general section

i also suggested to add a similar noob friendly guide regarding custom kernels and gaming fixes, since actually gaming/performance is one of the reasons some of us are unlocking their device, my gaming guide is a over flowing with information/ a little confusing and the gaming boost app is hidden in the apps section

so the more exposure the better

the links by timlambo are very helpful meanwhile ;)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
That's all well and good BUT if everyone read the rules of the forum (especially #1) this guide wouldn't be required...

http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81

What the point in having rules if no one bothers to read them?
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
You can make a Nandroid backup whenever, there's a section in my OP about making a Nanadroid backup. I suggest you make one now anyway just so you know where you stand/have a recent backup.

You can use a program from the play market called CID Getr to find your CID, it's at the top, you probably won't need to know your CID but it never hurts to know regardless :D

You'd need to know which software version you were on to begin with, 1.29.xxx.11/12? Then Google for that RUU. then you can flash it from there and relock the bootloader.

If you can find out what that is then we can move forward from there, which country are you in? That way we might be able to narrow down which 1.29.xxx.xx you were on previously.

I might be jumping the gun a bit here also, maybe EddyOS can help you more than I can as he's been doing this longer and is more knowledgeable than I.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Thanks for the post Hamdir and the good review, as you've said in your post and to me via PM a similar noob friendly guide regarding Gaming and custom Kernels might go down well, I'll learn about those bit's myself and then write up a new guide of add them into #2.

I'll use your guides, learn what I can and then work out a user friendly way to write down the info that isn't full of techno jargon :)

I can understand people's frustrations when new users repeatedly spam the forums with Q&A's that have been covered a million times before, however, I'll always try to help someone who's asking a question, either by searching for the threads and linking to them for/to the newbie myself or telling them politely to use the search function.

Yes it'd be nice if people searched but we can't have complete totalitarian control over whether the newbies decide to search or not.

I can understand your frustrations EddyOS.

I still feel that this guide is required atleast to some degree as yes even if users do search and find the relevant information, it's quite fragmented in parts and might not be easy to understand. Hence why I tried to write it up in a 'noob friendly' way.
