Sounds good. Though turning that line into

DISTRIB_ID="Your system"

made it run on my Cygwin box. Looks like that line is supposed to tell you which specific *nix version isn't supported if it fails, and for some reason on both my Cygwin system and Ubuntu systems, the fail-check fails. However, that appears to have been in the prior versions of Acidify as well, so they appear less likely to be a logical fail-point. Will try it with the checkout though on the Ubuntu.

Edit: And... Cygwin is 32-bit only. Awesome. So it's not going to be running Acidify for me. :) Ubuntu box is currently processing something else, so I'll check it whenever it decides to move along.

But git checkout left me with the same color error, if that's what was supposed to fix it.

Edit2: Ubuntu box didn't fail on the same spot, so it looks like I'm good... Well, unless it doesn't actually run, but it gets me to the info screen at least. I'll update if it has problems, but it looks like the only other 'issue' I found was Cygwin-only which doesn't really matter for us since it can't run Acidify anyways (being 32-bit). Should I still note it as an issue on Github, or do we not care since it's only an error where it can't possibly work anyways?

Edit3: Okay... One sudo mkdir /.acidify and a sudo mkdir /.repo later and it's actually pulling files down...

Poking around in repo to resolve a problem that I have with AOKP right now, I found, from repo help sync

The --no-clone-bundle option disables any attempt to use
$URL/clone.bundle to bootstrap a new Git repository from a resumeable
bundle file on a content delivery network. This may be necessary if
there are problems with the local Python HTTP client or proxy
configuration, but the Git binary works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
A little note... apparently the error I mentioned comes up anytime you're using a distrib that doesn't show up in the search. Since in addition to Cygwin, that error also comes up when trying to use Acidify with Ubuntu 10.10. Guessing that means that the || bit isn't functioning properly... maybe it needs to be inside the [[]] or something? Guess I should report that as another issue on the tracker.

i changed this line "ro.sf.lcd_density= 160" of the build.prop file in system folder and it changed my bar to the look of the xoom tablet. i changed the line ro.sf.lcd_density= 150 and it was too small and i took it back up to 160 and it looks a lil better. i didn't take it under 150 so i don't know how low and how high you can decrease and increase it to. i think i heard if you change the line i just told you about than it will tell you some apps in the market store are compatible. i know quick office pro hd works on the nexus seven but im tring to get it to show up in the Google play store so i can purchase it. is what i heard true, if so than what value should i change the line to?

But that doesn't give the tablet interface (Xoom style)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
FYI - I've read (have *not* confirmed though) that if you un-install and re-install the Play store *after* resetting your DPI value, that it'll use your new dpi value accordingly, so that you can see all apps the Play store.. Again, I haven't tested - just reporting what I read...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
I tried the DPI hack... and it's just that. A hack. All the apps have really small text, and layout, on basically every app. Even if you up the text size, it just doesn't look right...the layout is still too small.

The only real solution is the Hybrid rom, ParanoidAndroid. It took a while before I finally decided to try it, but I'm glad I finally did. It's the best ROM I've tried so far, and I don't think I will be able to switch to a new ROM in the future, unless it lets me set DPI for individual apps. In addition to DPI it lets you change the layout of the app. [the devs usually have 3 modes for the apps, so that it can run on a phone, tablet, or whatever..] so you can even make the Tablet UI with the default text size. Or you can put the DPI down a little, like I did, because I like the status bar a little smaller than full-size.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purple_zergling:
Hi, I'm using the PA ROM right now,and I'm just wondering what you did to get the PlayStore to allow the download. I know you can use the PA settings to change DPI and workspace so can I do it in there? Or do I have to edit the build.prop file? I bought it for the Asus Transformer TF101. I haven't been able to use it for m NExus 7 and I really do want to check it out .

Is there a way to get Google Play to see the nexus at a 10" tablet temporarily, so I can install QuickOffice Pro HD?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
Hmm.... They might be using the model number to decide whether the app is compatible, so I don't think this will work, but you can try:

Open Google Play, press Home, press Recents, long-press Google Play in the list, then select Hybrid settings.

Leave the DPI alone [it should be at 213], swype over to the "Layout." In the drop down menu, select the highest value [should be 1000px, or maybe 800px]. Then tap the Apply button [left of the top-right corner].

You don't have to do anything, Google Play runs by default at stock DPI [213], so on ParanoidAndroid (unless you change it), it works out of the box.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purple_zergling:
Thanks for the help. Well I ended up trying to edit the DPI and/or the layout settings in different combinations while rebooting my tablet each time. I even changed the build.prop to see if I could download it. Nothing worked so I set it back to default/stock. Yet, when I looked online to "install" to device from the Google Play Store website, it worked for some reason. I have no idea what I did...

Anyway, on the side , since I edited the build.prop, do I need to do anything else other than reverse the changes? I switch the line back from 160 to 213. From what I searched that seems to be it...

Having a little trouble with it. Followed all directions just can't seem to get adb to come up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prwmetalman:
How to use it:

1. Download and unzip the package (hint: save it to your PC Desktop)

2. Install Motorola Drivers - (hint: uninstall others android devices drivers from PC)

3. Enable Unknown Sources (Config > Security > Unknown Sources)

4. Enable USB Debug (Config > Developer Options > USB debug)

5. Enable Mock Locations (Config > Developer Options > Mock Location)

6. Connect the phone to your PC as Media Sync - MTP (Change it after connect you phone to PC in Config > Storage > Media Sync)

7. Run the script (Double click on .bat file from PC)

8. Enjoy!

The script or .bat file is this (EasyRootICS_Windows) not the file named adb.

i got it to work. thanx. the problem i was having with adb was getting the computer to recognize the phone and adb coming up in the device manager.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] prwmetalman:
this is true, just hoping some of the developers would be coming up with an SBF or .xml for this soon because i tend to experiment with my phone a little too much .

finding a root method that works was cool, but i wanted more, so i started getting carried away with trying to flash files with RSD lite, and now I will either have to wait for something, or send my phone in for reflashing. everything was great after finding the root method worked perfectly, just wish some of my other ventures with experimenting went as well !

Hey guys just wanted to take some time to make a post about some things that I am getting use to. I have been an apple product owner for the past 5 years and this is my first non iphone. So far I enjoy my phone but there are some small quirks that I am having issues with. I will list and detail these issues.

1. Haptic feedback always finds a way to disable itself. I always have to go back into the settings and re apply the haptic feedback.

2. The battery is god-awful. I'm not rooted or undervolted. Just stock at&t phone and I'm lucky to get 6 hours off the charger. As in my phone comes off the charger at 9am and by 3pm it is already dead. Is this typical? I read that the facebook app affects the battery life, so I removed it.

This is one of my biggest complaints. My iphone 4S easily went from 9am-7 or 8 in the evening.

3. My home button is not solid. When I push it the feedback is not consistent. Sometimes it makes a light click, other times it feels normal. I feel like maybe something has gotten into the surrounding area around the home button. I take care of all my electronics so I doubt this is the issue, but I didn't want to discount the idea.

4. I have downloaded an advanced task killer, but are there any other tricks or tips you guys could let me in on? Or any apps that would be recommended? I would appreciate the feedback!

5. When receiving photos from iphone owners my phone displays pics as a video file? How can I just get normal mms's from iphones?

OH YEA...when is the GS3 going to get jellybean? My at&t phone still has ICS, and I keep checking for software updates every 24 hours and as of this evening I have not found any updates to the new OS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
1. where are you enabling haptic feedback?

2. as always, battery life depends on usage. screen on time? do you have a lot of apps that could use data? do you have both wifi and data enabled when you're not around wifi? try disabling any stock apps you don't use.

3. i don't have anything to say about this. try comparing to other s3s if you can. then you can figure out if your phone is a problem or it's all of them. i personally don't care nor try to feel the difference if there is one. i tend to use back until i exit the app, not use the home button.

4. task killers are not beneficial to you at all. they actually tend to kill the battery faster. uninstall yours and see how your battery life fares.

5. no one knows when official jelly bean will come. if you root and install a custom recovery and start flashing roms you can try jelly bean right now. but it won't be with touchwiz nor will it have everything working as you would find it in your stock rom.

Thanks for the quick reply. My on screen time is typically in the lower 4 hour range, I would post a screenshot but I am unable to since I am a junior member. I will not disable data as that is completely unacceptable on a smart phone. I didn't realize but my friend deleted my task killer a couple days ago. Using his GS3 I can tell a noticeable difference in home buttons-I wonder if at&t will replace my phone (within 22 days)? I guess I'm waiting for JB just like everyone else.

I am enabling haptic feedback via settings>sound>haptic feedback btw.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sir_Brizz:
I've had my GS3 for about 4 days now and my battery life is awesome. I can go from about 8:00am to around 11pm before the battery icon even turns red.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
apparently there's a gsiff_daemon bug or cell standby bug? i haven't personally experienced those, so i couldn't tell you much about them. turning off data is only acceptable if you're trying to avoid an overage, so i get where you're coming from. if your task killer is gone and you're still getting horrible battery life, something else may be the culprit.

a few suggestions: disabling unused stock apps (flipboard, those att apps if you don't use them). i don't know what you need synced but if you don't need your calendar or browser synced you should turn off sync for that. do you use the power saving option? if you don't need much processing power i'd turn that on. auto brightness may help too.

about the home button, if it irritates you too much att will likely replace it. maybe the new unit will have better battery life?

try enabling from accessibility?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
I think the biggest thing that seems to help battery life is keeping the power saving mode turned on all the time. Seems to make a HUGE difference with battery life (especially on stock), but doesn't really seem to affect functionality.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kicker18:
Yea I removed all those crappy widgets.

My phone is always in power saver mode! I'm going to try to get a new unit tomorrow. How does this work? When i had my iPhone I just scheduled an appt at the apple store and they would always switch my phone out whenever I had issues under 1 year.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dvickers79:
If you bought at a local store, you should be able to call them up and ask for a replacement for a defective device.

It shouldn't cost you anything as you are within their 30 day return window.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
Oh... and as for official JellyBean.... isn't the rumor so far saying potentially late Q3/early Q4? Apparently the International version of the S3 with the quad-core processor is expected to get Jellybean shortly after the "Samsung Mobile Unpacked" event taking place in Germany tomorrow. Haven't really seen anything concrete about when our S3's will see an official release... but seeing as T-Mobile also just recently had an official build leak for the S3, i wouldn't be surprised if the late Q3/Early Q4 speculation could be correct.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Swiftks:
Root, install custom rom, install Ktoonsez kernel... Battery life will easily double. If you really want to get the most out of your battery, consider AOKP or CM10... Jelly Bean based, with 0 bloat and almost none of the background process the stock TW rom runs in the background.

4 hours screen time is a lot... even on my iPhone 4 and priors (I had them all) with that much screen time I wouldn't get more than 7-8 hours. Keep in mind you are going from a 3.5 screen to a 4.8... this screen will eat up battery at a faster rate.

With an average of 2 hour screen time I usually get 15-20 hours out of a full charge pending usage. Nothing special, rooted running triune, stock cpu settings.

I haven't even began reading up on rooting. I probably wont root my phone unless I absolutely have to. I enjoy stock reliability. Also when I go into settings> accessibility, there is no option to enable haptic feedback.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] werked:
I think after a bit of tweaking you will see better battery life. I get much better battery life than my sister does on her 4S. Also, disabling data won't hurt anything if you are not using the phone. I. Don't charge my phone overnight anymore.... I disable data while I'm sleeping and charge in the am while I'm getting ready for my day. With a few tweaks you should be able to make it through a full day, even with 4 hours screen time. Take some of the suggestions others have mentioned here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ejatds:
1. happens to me as well when i turn powersaver on and then off again. (powersave disables haptic feedback, but it doesn't turn on again sometimes when i turn powersave back off) probably will be fixed in next update.

2. don't have this issue at all. how is your screen on time and what do you do on your phone? (ie: any specific apps/games you use?)

3. my home button is definitely solid.

4. do NOT download advanced task killer. it is not needed as android will kill off apps when it needs to. there's also a built in task killer if you'd like. just long press home button and click task manager.

5. happens to me as well but when i save the photo it changes back to jpq file.

6. jellybean hasn't been released yet for s3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Root your phone, install CWM and ktoonsez's sammy kernal. Stock rom by default has the performance governor enabled, which I believe has the phone either running at the lowest clock or the highest clock with no real middle. Rooting your phone and installing a custom rom will allow you to have access to more governors that will treat your battery much nicer as well as his custom kernal has added features and just performs faster as well as has better battery life.

There are all kinds of tutorials on the site and I'm sure even some youtube videos on the process. The only other thing I'll add is to READ READ READ on how to do the process, READ READ READ the thread for possible issues and READ READ READ some more for fixes to any issues that may arise.

The great thing about android is the ability to change almost everything about how your phone acts and operates. Once you start you'll end up like me that whenever you get a new phone, you'll already have downloaded root/custom rom/custom kernal on your home computer so that you're ready to get off of stock within 30minutes of being home.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joebw:
1. I've noticed that when I enable battery save mode, it turns off haptic feedback, so it might be that.

2. Like others said it depends on what you do with your phone, but on average, I usually get 15-20+ hours on a charge with at least 3 hours screen time.

4. I wouldn't use task killers. But it's smart to do a little management of tasks yourself. For example, when you want to exit an application, don't just hit the home button, hit the back button until the app exits. From my experience, depending on the app, this will actually exit the app and not just leave it running in the background. Also, every once in a while, I pull up the multitasking screen by long pressing the home button, and I hit the "remove all" button to close any applications that I don't need running in the background.

Also, you may want to try installing Juice Defender. What that app does is turn off the data connection when the phone is in idle, and it turns it back on every 15 or 30 minutes (configurable) to synch, check email, etc. The phone connection is always on. It's actually made a noticeable improvement to my battery life. But this also depends on if it's ok with you that you only synch every 15 minutes. For my girlfriend, she likes to get 10 minute warnings when ebay auctions end, and with this installed she's missed some auctions. So it doesn't work for her.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pizz0wn3d:
Imo, the single best way to save battery is to get an app to automate toggling data off when you lock your phone. I've been using a Tasker profile to turn my data off after the phone has been locked for 10 minutes, and turns it back on when my screen unlocks. With data off, my phone drains maybe ~1.5%/hr.

Whatever you do though, you likely won't get more than 3-4hrs of screen time, considering the phone is 720p and 4.8".

Just a departure from what I'm use to(my battery on my old 4S was substantially better)...if I didn't want my data on all the time I could have bought a dumb phone ya know? Anyways with data turned off battery drain was better ~5% hour.

You might want to try getting a replacement battery from your carrier or Samsung, I get >1.5%/hr battery drain with data on nothing tweak aside from root and a custom tw Rom.

Not sure how much a difference the iPhone 4 is from the 4s in battery, but this sgs3 has a substantially better life span vs my old 4, I would never get past 3pm without worrying about my phone dying (on a work day) now I have no issue getting to 7 or 8 and I use this phone far more frequently than I ever did with my iPhone. On many occasions I have gotten 24hrs plus on a single charge... and this battery charge Damn fast, really twice as fast as my iPhone ever did and half the time it would overheat in my truck... sgs3 never has once, even while watching YouTube or taking on the phone. while charging.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
Many apps have settings that control how often you update. Facebook app defaults to 30 minutes and also uses the gps every time you open it. If you change the times to a hour or more and turn off the location function, fb won't even appear in the battery life list, unless you are looking at it constantly.

Any app should have settings to let you determine the update frequency; even weather applications. The question is whether or not you need notification more or less often.
