[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryStar:
My position on screen protectors is this:

With the quality and hardness of the plastic coatings on most decent Android devices in the last 3 years, a screen protector can only be a net *downgrade* in terms of scratch-resistance and screen quality.

Scratches (and often fingerprints) will show up more on a screen protector than on the bare screen because a screen protector is usually less hard than the screen itself. This will particularly be the case with a pen stylus (ie one with a fine tip, as opposed to a capacitive stylus) which won't scratch the bare screen (because it's hardened) but will over time create wear marks in a screen protector in "high traffic" parts of the screen.

Granted, having the screen protector means that once the scratches all over it get too much, you can just pull it off (and replace it). And that is indeed the point of a screen protector. But I'd rather not have dullness from scratch marks all over my screen protector to begin with. It's a bit like the people who have plastic covers on their couches so they don't get stained. It ruins the whole point of having a nice couch surface. Reminds me of the quote "life is not a dress rehearsal". You may as well benefit from your scratch-resistant hardened plastic screen now rather than cover it, saving it for a day in the future that never comes.

All that said, some screen protectors are better than others and there are probably decent ones around. And there's nothing wrong with having a protective cover on the *back* or edges of your device, since this isn't a crucial operative part of the device.

There's no possible way a screen protector can negatively affect the way the pen works, as it's based on an electromagnetic field. So maybe if it were a metallic screen protector it would be an issue. The "grippiness" of a screen protector could be a problem though. Some are grippy and some not. Grippy ones like Zagg will render the pen practically unusable.

I found out a way to temporarily disable back light on the soft keys on my non-rooted HOX. It kind of works most of the times and is active until you lock the device.

First, download "Screen filter" from the Play store

Activate the screen filter to your liking, I recommend putting a widget on your home screen and un-tick the "enable soft-key backlight"

Now comes the extremely unscientific trick to get the soft key to be turned off, press the power key on your device to lock and unlock your device until it "forgets" to turn on the soft key back light!

I do this almost every night and usually works after 3 or 4 tries.

Maybe there is a better solution out there for the people who have not rooted their device?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Edit: my bad didn't notice the not rooted part :)

I think there is? Adjbrightness or how it's called, but it needs root. Or you can just shut the backlight completely like I did with an easy framework change.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
There's another dirty trick. Press and hold your power button, till the capacitive buttons start to blink, when they are off, during the blinking process, release the power button, this will turn them off
[HTC One X] marcinr:
This is actually easier, thanks mate! :D
[HTC One X] vectrac19:
How do you turn them back on again?
[HTC One X] gallardo5:
Odp: TIP: temporarily disable soft key back light when it is dark

Just switch the screen off and on again;)

Hello,

I have now then CyanogenMode 7.2, but I have e bug with network operators search, is their an update for this ROM ?

Is their a site with several custom ROMs ?

Thank you for help

Which 7.2? Well this site
[GT540 Optimus General] TF85:
Hello,

I don't find here a link for it, I find in google search : CyanogenMod-7.2-Tejas-Build-Three.zip, after installation, it's the version CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1.

So, I search an old version which is a final version like CyangenMod 7.1.

I can't find a free site link ?

Hello,

I have the same problem with CyanogenMod-7.2-Tejas-Build-Three.zip.

I can't have the operators list.

Network Operators -> Search Networks => an error occurs.

I use this with foreigh SIM card in France. In this case, the operator is selected automatically.

I tried the GreenDroid 2.0, I can choose the operator. But I don't know the Android version here. It's noted GreenDroid 2.0 only ?

I'm sorry for my several questions about my LG GT540.

At the http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable site, the LG GT540 is not referenced. It has another name ?

Thank you
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
okay greendroid, eleganceSwift, official ROM are android 2.1. As its official (nearly) everything works, network selection does, too.

On custom ROMs this doesn't work mostly.

2.1 based ROMs (e.g Greendroid) have this feature, 2.3.7 doesn't have.

maybe other ROMs ( Utopia / AOSP 2.2.2) MAY have it working i'm not sure.

And its not officially supported by CM because there's no maintainer -> nobody who ist contacting CM Team.

But our great devs can use the CM sources to build for GT540.
[GT540 Optimus General] TF85:
Sorry,

By the way, which version you use with your LG GT540 ?

Thankx
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:

Hello,

After several ROMs testing, I find a good one : pcf_cm7_v6_final.zip (version : 2.3.7 ----- CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-Swift-KANG).

I can change the bootanimation.zip. But I can't have a boot sound when power is on.

I don't find /system/sounds, nor /system/sounds/lgeAT to copy the poweron.mp3 (I have create it, no sound).

I add a PowerOn.mp3 to /system/etc or to /system/media or to /system/media/ui, no sound more .

How can I can have a sound at power on ?

Thankx

its not supported in that rom.

[GT540 Optimus General] Weekend Offender:
you need to copy line from build.prop (look up at miro's sdsl ;) ) and add boot sound at sound folder
[GT540 Optimus General] Chezta Sage:

On ICS i was using the ASUS Greek keyboard in order to be able to change from English to Greek and vice versa by pressing CTRL-SPACE on my Dock

After the JB upgrade this does not work at all

when i press Ctrl -space it indicates that i changed from Greek to English but i type again in Greek. I was only rooted before the upgrade which i restored via voodoo.

WTF ?

Ive also send an email to ASUS about this and the response was...

Maybe is sth i dont understand but i think they were kidding right? I mean thats EXACTLY what i did and caused the problem...

So I replied

Does anybody else has the same problem. I've checked around the forum, but it is not mentioned a lot and im thinking "Is it just me?"

Lock Screen: AOSP & Stock...

Theme's (Color Option): Stock ICS (Blue) & Red ICS..

ICS theming and Please add option in Setting similar to CM Performance setting (No frill CPU)

That's it for now (Am i asking too many things)....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
I request to remove TW launcher and replace it TW UX..

because having more than one launcher, it would simply occupy RAM Space...

will the new rom be debloated ??

Also we should have an option of switching off one core..

(i donno wether its a kernel level support or any app would do...)

can the theeming be based on JB ?? like Neo was based on ICS theming..!!

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Deadfreak:
yes touchwiz ux would be fine
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Yes. Will remove the default TwLauncher and add the UX 5x5 as it seems to be liked by most of the people. It will be debloated and will be pure. Switching off one core is related to kernel. It will be controlled in max_cpu file if i remember so. Ardatdat can explain more about that. And ya, JB theming can be done instead of ICS. But it will be different only in some perspective. Will take a note on it buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Pdroid patch i was trying for MaZel I but left it in midway as ICS was released at that time. And Pdroid Patch wont support ICS as of now buddy. Sure - will not debloat useful apps. Even if some useful apps are removed, i will provide a seperate zip package for flashing them with the option of selecting what you want to install - Leaving it to user ;) (Thanks to Aroma).

Vikesh,

Nordic? XXLQ9 is Nordic and XXLQ7 is Austrian 3. And selva stated in his OP that Mazel II is based on XXLQ7. :thumbup: :)

Btw, Are you saying it's compatible with Nordic too? I leave that to Selva for answer :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Yes. Its based on Austrian Firmware XXLQ7. You can even flash it over Nordic firmware. It will still work. But I suggest you to flash it over Austrian ROM for its baseband.

Also, there is NO NEED FOR DATA WIPE if you are in ICS (any firmware - Leaked, Deodexed, Odexed, any Stock or Custom ROM). Even you don't have to do WIPE CACHE/DALVIK CACHE as the Script will do it by itself.:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Yes Buddy. I was doing some regression testing on the battery and performance when the screenshot was taken. This ROM will surely have a better backup when compared to Stock rom.:good:

Pre-requiste and Steps for Flashing MaZel II

As i can see some FAQ and doubts before flashing this ROM, just made a simple procedure that can clear doubts and make the flashing simple & clean.:cool:

MaZel II is based on Android 4.0.4 I9103XXLQ7 Austrian Firmware

Pre-requiste :

Should be in I9103XXLQ7 Austrian fimrware.

Clock Work Mod Recovery should be installed.

If you are in GB,

Do a Wipe data/Factory reset

Reboot to Download mode

Flash I913XXLQ7 firmware via Odin. You can get the firmware from sammobile.

Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache - Do not Wipe Data/Factory reset after flashing to ICS being in Stock Kernel

Reboot the Mobile

Reboot to Download mode again

Flash CWM recovery

If you are in any currently availabe version of ICS,

Flash I9103XXLQ7 firmware via Odin.

Wipe Cache/WIpe Dalvik cache

Reboot the Mobile

Reboot to Download mode again

Flash CWM recovery

No Need for Wipe Data/Factory reset

With these being done, You are now ready to flash MaZel II.

Infact it can be flashed over any Nordic firmware or even over the leaked ICS version. But to get the full feel of MaZel II, i recommend it to be flashed over XXLQ7. If you are in any Custom ROMs which are build over XXLQ7 firmware, then you can directly flash MaZel II over those Custom ROM. No need to flash the base firmware again.:cowboy:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
No issues. You can directly flash MaZel II. While Installing MaZel II, the script by itself will clear the Cache and Dalvik cache.

Since most of the follks are concerned about the 2G/3G switch, i will patch the Nordic CSC in MaZel II so that after flashing MaZel II, you can get the 2g/3G switching option. You dont have to seperatly flash the Nordic CSC. ;)

Don't get Overexcited guys. Its a Custom ROM that will improve the performance and luks to possible extent. It will make ur phone to have what u wished for. ;) And uploading time, it depends on the time me leaving the office buddy. Will do a patching of Nordic CSC to it and do a final flash over my phone.
