[General Questions and Answers] HKSpeed:
How does everyone try out different ROMS? It takes me several days to try out a ROM to determine if I want to keep it. After I flash a ROM, I spend several hours re-installing apps and adjusting settings. Is this what everyone does? Is there a faster process that I'm not aware of? Seeing the various ROMs for a device (and their updates) makes my head spin.

I've only been rooting and flashing custom ROMs for 10 months and I flashed at least 8 different devices. I just flashed my Nexus 7 with a similar-to-stock ROM because I didn't want to spend weeks trying out different ROMs. I grew lazy to try out different ROMs, but I also feel like I'm missing out by not doing it. Argh! So for my N7 I read various ROM threads and chose the one with the least bugs. Is that what you do?

I'm extremely grateful for all the hard work devs are inputting, so I'm not complaining about the availability of ROMS.
[General Questions and Answers] shimp208:
Yeah I usually test ROMs with the least bugs because I have to use my phone as a daily driver. The easiest way to test new ROMs is create a backup of your current ROM and then flash the ROM you want to try. If you like it great. If you want to go back to the other ROM just restore the backup you made this will restore your phone to the exact rom and phone setup you had when you made the backup.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] JB426:
Has anyone used the Blackberry Playbook leather sleeve with a Nexus 7 and did it fit? I know those Playbook sleeves are genuine leather and supposed to be high quality, plus they can be found for a good price. Seems like a good option for what I'm looking for, just something to use during transport that is still pocketable. I know senacases.com has a nice leather sleeve but it's $50. Thanks for any info.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
No reason why it would not do, it might be a little short but certainly wide enough.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] JB426:
Thanks. If I get it to try I'll let everyone know how it works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliceics:
So my N7 arrived two days ago, and I immediately unlocked, rooted, and flashed some things. Currently running Codename Android with Trinity Kernel.

My battery is absolute crap now though. Its been two days so I thought the battery more but have settled by now. All auto sync off, brightness at lowest setting, apps sync every 4 hours, still bad! Does calibrating still work? I read somewhere that it was debunked and it didn't work. I would appreciate any help. I mean, my Maxx is getting better battery life.

I uploaded some screenshots of the battery after only 1 and a half hours.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renes2:
dafuq?

My Battery life is without doing nothing ~1-2weeks (in my with 58% xD)

Use Stock Kernel
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliceics:
Where can I find that to flash it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00303:
Go to the motley kernel thread in Original Development. He provides a mirror link for the stock kernel

I loved Trinity and the TKT app but for some reason im getting much better battery life with motley kernel. I originally did some troubleshooting and fixed some apps that were causing wakelocks. My battery life got a little better but not by enough (could only get 3 or 4 hrs screen on) so i switched kernels.

If you feel like experimenting do this:

Nandroid

Wipe Cache + Dalvik

Wipe System

Factory Reset

Flash CM10 nightly (any rom of your choice)

Flash GApps

Flash motley kernel (i used the 484 GPU version)

Fix permissions

Reboot

I get awesome battery life now and performance is great.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobandriod:
Your title should be something like this: "After rooting and installing battery draining rom and kernel I get bad battery life on my N7"

Stock JB and kernel should yield decent batter life.

With the proper rom and kernel the Nexus 7 easily match or better the googles battery life claim.

FYI the latest Trinity kernel is a battery hog.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you use it at 1.7ghz it will be, but thats obvious. at 1150mhz, its as quick and wonderful on batteries.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00303:
I wouldnt go as far as saying its a battery hog, but i ran the kernel at stock clocks and while performance was much better than stock i still had tons of drain that i now dont have with a different kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliceics:
Ran Trinity kernel at 1150mhz and had awful battery. Back on stock ROM and kernel and seems to have improved a lot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 640k:
I feel like the battery is pretty decent...

Get off those custom Roms and kernels until you understand how the device is meant to perform.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcat007:
You appear to have 87% after 1.5 hours, that equals about 10 hours, how is that bad? I get about 8 hours if I am intensely playing with screens, apps and games, 2 days if I'm not doing much. Loses 2% at night with wifi off. No root.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
trinity kernel and the pure aosp rom, at 1150mhz. id say not bad at all..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobandriod:
Trinity Kernel is a good kernel. I went overboard by saying it was a battery hog. I did have it overclocked up to 1500hz on-demand and it ate up battery faster then I would like. But this is with the newest one, a few of the older ones worked out better for me though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea, overclocking is mostly for fun, definitely not for battery life ;)

I have some problems with *wakelock*
[Nokia Lumia 900] cykotix:
The brother of a friend of mine was killed suddenly in an accident just over a month ago out of state. His belongings were shipped back home here and his parents now have his Nokia Lumia N900. Unfortunately it has a security lock on it and it's not the default 12345. I was hoping the XDA community could point me in the right direction on how to recover that lock code so they could preserve the data on it (pictures, text messages etc). Re-flashing the device is not an option.

I'm comfortable in linux and proficient with Android so I have no issues with how complex the procedure is. The problem I have is I'm unfamiliar with Nokia devices and Windows phones. Looking around, I found NSS Pro but I'm unsure if that will work with this particular device.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Can you make the sense 4 lockscreen for 2.1 please????
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Sense 3.5 is different from 2.1. I successfully decompiled once tho. But the statusbar gets hazy, and absolutely nothing can be seen.

I don't think sense 2.1 supports transparency.

On my first attempt it wasn't working... I used winzip to replace your meta with the ones I have which worked before n it worked or so I thought....

Nope.... :( I am using stock European rom (the ones Jaggy uploaded) so a little help...? I also tried to decompress SystemUI.apk from where I was supposed to edit something in smali folder after decompression but after decompression I found out that smali doesn't exists in the SystemUI.apk of European rom so am I missing something ? :confused:

Just rooted and the whole purpose was to install secure settings with superuser permissions so I can toggle GPS using tasker.

I have granted it superuser permissions but in the secure settings app the 'helper' file needed for GPS toggle wont install

The error whilst installing it is: Unable to mount partition rw

I then tried to go into CWM in recovery mode and select the zip file manually, but that failed also, Im stuck! any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General] ccriativo:
Hello guys, sorry if I'm posting on wrong forum.

I'm with an annoying bug on my Brazilian i9300. I use the native sip built in the official rom and I'm not rooted yet. What happen is that after the screen "selection of call type" (internet or call), the screen doesn't shut down anymore. Even when the dialer is closed.

Everything works again only when I restart the phone.

My phone already stayed with the screen turned on up to 2 hours or more.

Anyone can help-me?
[Galaxy S III General] ccriativo:
Close it, already fixed with an full wipe.
[HTC One X] marvi0:
Ok, asked a friend to erase pics on my phone as was going to sell it, to him, but he basically went into recovery, and erased every file, result stuck on white htc screen. I can press the power button and the volume up and down, buttons to gain access to hbot, recovery etc, but their is nothing to flash and restore in recovery, and last rom i had is endevour rom, any suggestions please thanks.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Remember your software version?

Locked or unlocked bootloader?

Never use volume up + power! - some have reported it can brick your device , it's always volume down + power.
[HTC One X] marvi0:
Bootloader unlocked and running a custom rom Endeavoru.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Well, if you don't know what ROM it was, best to just pick one and install it.

Make sure you are on clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, then flash ROM and boot.img.
[HTC One X] marvi0:
Might sound a bit scilly, but how do I flash, when I cannot get past that screen, htc screen, assuming the only way to flash, is to actually turn phone past this white screen to place rom on phone?.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Hold power and volume down. Should hit the bootloader.

With the latest recovery, you can mount as card as USB and then copy ROM to phone from pc.
[HTC One X] marvi0:
Unfortunately, it won't allow me to mount sd card as usb, any more suggestions please, on how to get out of this unpleasant situation.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
..."with the latest", that'll be clockworkmod 5.8.4.0
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Ben is correct,

Flash clockworkmod touch

then you can mount your USB.

-----

Get Android SDK installed on your PC,

Put phone into fastboot USB

Flash clockworkmod touch via adb

Clockworkmod touch - http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8

Fastboot flash recovery CWM.img

Enter recovery, mount USB storage.

All of the above is done whilst phone is plugged into PC

don't flash anything on low battery
[HTC One X] marvi0:
thanks guys, but am struggling to flash the latest clockword, as having trouble renaming it as required.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Renaming it? - not sure what you mean here.

Plug phone into PC

Put phone into fastboot USB (power + volume down then select fastboot with then power button )

Place CWM.img inside the same folder as adb, fastboot etc within your android SDK installation

Open command prompt on PC

Default installation commands are:

CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools

fastboot flash recovery CWM.img

If you installed android SDK to a location of your choice, you will haven to change the first command to that location.

Etc.
[HTC One X] marvi0:
Thanks, so basically, I have to remain, the file, cmw.img first?
[HTC One X] preacher65:
Just type the name of the Clockworkmod recovery file you downloaded, it should be recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img if you have downloaded the latest version.

No harm in renaming it but no need either. As it's a long filename, in most recent versions of Windows, you can type the first few letters then hit TAB and Windows should bring up the correct filename.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I tried to make it simple for you

http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8

Download that, its already renamed to CWM.img to make it simple for you.

The commands for command prompt if you installed Android SDK to its default location are:

CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools

fastboot flash recovery CWM.img

The top command is the location of your fastboot, adB etc within Android-SDK, this is the location you place cwm.IMG that you downloaded above.

You run the 2 commands above after you've put your phone into fastboot USB
[HTC One X] marvi0:
thanks guys, i think am getting somewhere now, as am now getting a low battery error, so charging my phone, hope its charging, cause its sat at that white screen, with the red charging light on, so i hope its charging, will let it charge for a few hours, then try again, but really wanted to do it tonight, any idea, how long it takes to charge?, under this condition.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I suggest charging your phone whilst you still can, don't be impatient - low battery is the cause of most problems on XDA when people flash.
[HTC One X] marvi0:
thanks guys, it worked, phone is alive much appreciated.
[HTC One X] stomplunacy:
I'm a noob too.But let me just share with you,

1. Hold vol down and power button to get into bootloader.

2. Once in,select fastboot then choose recovery.

You should be able to see clockworkmod recovery or TWRP,whichever you installed.But to install them you'll need to do it through fastboot on the command prompt (for Windows) or terminal bash (for MasOS).Make sure you have the recovery.img stored in your computer first before proceeding.If you're not sure about this,then maybe you can Google search it first and I'll guarantee it'll take you back to XDA.

Sorry cos I don't have the links to share.But I hope this reply can enlighten you a bit.Good luck!

Any one know where I can buy an HTC HD2 Motherboard, because my HD2 died, its trying to power on but only vibrates shortly (instead of long vibrate and powering on)... I assume its a motherboard problem so I decided to fix it but I can't seem to find on ebay, maybe I am searching wrong, I am searching for HD2 Motherboard...

Do you have any URL's or an online store for parts please?

It would be really helpful, or an international service that fixes/repairs smart phones would be ok too...

Thanks for now :)

Is there any way to test a main board is dead without having another HD2 to try it in, any one got any methods to try and bring it back to life, like sticking it in the oven the freezer the microwave (only kidding about the microwave) ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
on CM, and they took out a lot of bloat which is good

but there was an app on stock at&t rom that would log you in automatically when you get to at&t hotspots(like mcdonalds) etc

anybody have this .apk?

i download my previous rom and opened it up, didnt see anything called that

anybody know the exact name to look for or has the apk ? thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thekrush:
It's on Play store. Look up: 'AT&T Smart Wi-Fi'
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
hmmmm ok, well i saw that but skipped over it

because on all my other roms/including stock, i dont remember it being an app,it would just auto-connect

and it was always a system apk as well

let me go check it out though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
It was excluded because CM10 has absolutely nothing to do with ATT. Or any phone for that matter. So unless somebody kangs CM10 and adds in an app, it's going to always be as bare bones Android as you can get.

Essentially, CM10 isn't ever a bloat removed version of any phones stock ROM, because it's build from aosp source, so the bloat was never there to begin with, and likely wouldn't be added in anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
ATT hotspots is a stock rom system app ...

The only way to get it ...is pull the apk from a stock rom ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AlcoholicDoc:
I like that app as well. That wsa the only thing I didn't like about my ROM, so I did a nandroid, restored to stock, pulled that system app, and restored my nandroid.

Lucky for you and anyone else that wants it, I just happen to have placed it in my Dropbox. :)

Make sure to place it in /system/app (Don't install it like a normal APK) and change permissions to rw-r--r--

You will need to manually connect to attwifi the first time if you haven't already.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
way different

the system app one is just hotspots,mostly ATnT ones i believe

the one in the market can affect connection to your home wifi and work etc

plus, ones an app you can open, the other isnt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
the system app one, like if you're at mcndonalds , will connect to it automatically (mcndonalds is one of the stores on ATnT wifi partnerships)

if you didnt have the app, you can still connect(its free wifi no password) but you would have to first open up a browers, read the agreement, and hit accept blah blah, before you can start using the wifi. again the system app skips all that and just connects you
