Your best bet is a nexus. Most phones that require OEM or carrier updates will die out long before the nexus as you can pull the updates OS source code and build it for your device even if Google stops supporting it.

A Nexus will always have more community support, although the very popular galaxy line has good support also.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitorgatti:
Thanks for your answers!

Talking about hardware, is it better to wait for the next Nexus or the Galaxy Nexus is good enough to survive at least a couple more years without performance issues? Is Dual Core + 1GB RAM the standard for the next devices?

Also, the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Nexus have different processors and GPUs... which one is the best between them?

Galaxy Nexus:

CPU 1.2 GHz dual-core Texas Instrument OMAP4460 processor

GPU	Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX540 GPU

Galaxy S II:

CPU 1.2 GHz dual-core Samsung Exynos 4210 processor

GPU ARM Mali-400 GPU

Is there any website that did benchmark tests between both processors and GPUs?

Thanks!

i just flashed rom, Vicious-CM10-20120808-UNOFFICIAL-toro JellyBean 4.1.1

now i cannot sync my google calendar. my google account is there when i try to change setting by tapping my shown account, it says no calender.

i even removed google account and re-added but doesnt' work.

do i need something else?

this is my first time flashing this rom from stock ICS 4.0.4 (verizon)

BTW, I am loving this custom and learning it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inmydream316:
Never Mind. i just downloaded latest Gapps and it works fine now.

so far GREAT!!!!

Try Root Call Blocker. Its one of the best apps I've used
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] verruckterGeck:
Try the Youmail Voicemail Service. It has a setting that directs Private and Blocked Numbers to voicemail directly (Ditch option). And they have the option to select custom voicemails. So, when someone calls me private or blocked number, they hear that the DEA has control of my phone and they have tracked the person calling my phone and the DEA authorities are on their way. LMAO.That put a stop to the pesky telemarketer and junk calls I used to get.

Hi guys,

I have a samsung focus since 5 months now. At times it randomly shows no network signal. During this time I cannot make calls and no one can contact me. When I power off and restart I get full signal and the phone works absolutely fine.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Also has anyone faced a similar situation?
[Focus General] Mr. Raza:
I had a similar problem but it was all the time a factory reset solved it for me I didn't like it but what could I do
[Focus General] kb87:
Thanks for the reply. I guess i'll have to do the same.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reinaldo33897:
We can do away with the search button as well and have the devs at our becon call lol.:cool: joking

Threads move up if they have new replies on them. If no one replies in them they fall back even with development threads. If your looking to keep up with your rom updates then you need to keep up with its thread. Hate to say so
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
The thing is, XDA is a forum format first and foremost. (Look at that alliteration!) It's not a website set up solely for devs to post ROMs. So I don't think you can sort threads by update date, since that's not even a sortable field. In fact, I don't even think goo.im, which IS a website set up solely for devs to post ROMs, does that.

I recently flashed CM9 3.x kernel rc3 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492461 ) and installed playerpro. And when I listen to songs phone overheats and battery drain is through the roof. Display is eating almost 90% of battery even though its off. Any idea anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natabbotts:
display always eats all the battery, that's normal behavior. Try taking it off full brightness or automatic brightness and set a level yourself. Dimmer is better. Overheating due to overclocking, usually, check what speed you're running at.

Display is off when playing music so display shouldn't eat 90% of battery. Plus I noticed that it isn't only Playerpro. I tried Apollo music player and it also give that issue.

Hello all, I need help please. I rooted my Galaxy Wonder a few days ago and then downloaded CWM and Rebel Rom Milestone 2. It was working fine. But then I tried to Swap internal SD with external SD. And when I rebooted my phone, it said i had no SD card. While searching a fix for this my phone shut down. And now whenever I open the phone, It leads me to CWM recovery after I see the text Samsung Galaxy W. How can I fix this?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MyDeSTiNaTe:
Restore it if you had did a backup

Or else you may have to flash the ROM all over again

No solutions is suggested until now for a previous case http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856088

Or else you may try to enquire those developers who managed to do that in their custom ROM

Good luck

My rom is an official rooted stok ics and, despite I've also unistalled and installed FB app, I can't see timeline. Instead I have it with the same app on the phone... do you have a clue?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] bubble.tea:
There's another fb app thread here.

It seems the app hasn't been fine tuned at all for Android and various devices.

narrow column

cropped photos

screen caps (if you're sharing games in a game group) are cropped in half...so annoying.

IIRC actually, I think my gal tab 10.1 DID display Timeline fine. IT doesn't on the 8.9.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pumkinut:
I just flashed the latest nightly of AOKP to my GTab2 7.0 last night moving from rooted stock. I love the speed and fluidity of the JB build, but I don't know how to create folders on the home screen. Under the stock launcher it was just a long press and the option was there. Under the default AOKP launcher, I just get wallpaper options when I perform a long press. I've checked in the settings, and can't find anything there either. Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pumkinut:
Answered my own question. Long hold on an app, and stack it on top of another you want to create the folder for. I thought that might be it, but the lower app shortcut kept moving out of the way. I just needed to be a bit more patient.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean_Seany:
Once you make a folder , you can edit its appearance as well. Long click on it then press the icon in the "edit short cut" screen. Select any option to suit your needs. Use icon packs or any custom image if you wish.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] noodles2224:
Same here. People have said its either framework problems if using touchwiz or having an odex rom.. Theres one in the market but only issue is cant send mms. :/

DMolina
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
No it's not odexed rom as I'm on stock deodexed.. And even if I use another launcher ..I'm thinking it's because of the att BS bloatware like ready2go thingy or such which put their nose even in your texting..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] noodles2224:
doesnt have anything to do with bloatwares. Its about editing the framework to make it work for touchwiz but since a lot dont like touchwiz, and run custom roms.. they edit mostly for those. I can open the app, settings, type the sender, type the text but it crashes right when I click send. Ive asked in some many threads that have the AOSP Mms.apk..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Not correct...I'm stock deodexed and using aosp launcher not touchwiz and still crashes after sending any text...its also not a touchwiz isssue ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gmillz:
It is a touchwiz issue. Touchwiz isn't just a launcher. Its part of the framework.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kipland007:
Hey everyone,

I've never owned an unlocked phone before, so I apologize if this is a stupid/obvious question. I'm on the Verizon variant of the S3 and I'm looking around at other forums here and seeing some interesting kernel development, particularly faux123's kernel in the T-Mobile thread. I know that us Verizon folks used a Sprint verizon of ktoonsez's kernel before a Verizon version was released, so can it be assumed that an AOSP-based kernel for a T-Mobile or AT&T phone can be used on Verizon as well? I know Sprint is more similar to Verizon than TMO or AT&T, but as far as I can tell, kernel doesn't really touch most of that stuff.

Here is a link to the kernel in question: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785472

If anyone knows whether this will work on a Verizon phone (or if I'm taking a major risk by flashing it, or if worst case scenario I just won't boot and I restore a backup), I would appreciate you passing on your knowledge.

Cheers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kipland007:
Well I got impatient and figured I would just flash it and see. Works fine as far as I can tell. Still, if anyone can answer, should this be applicable to all kernels? I'd love to test out all the AT&T/T-Mobile kernels (AOSP of course).

So we just got the coolpad 5860E at my metro store. This thing... wow. And not in a good way. It is a larger version of the Wildfire (shudder). 1ghz processor, 512 mb of RAM... it just PALES in comparison to the Motion we got in last week.

Problem is... It will sell better because of the bigger screen.

So, seeing as how we will be offering rooting/flashing and such... Is there any development for this phone (or the LG for that matter)?

fancy seeing this phone outside china.

i got mine in china, slightly different, coolpad instead of metroPCS and no front camera, also only got measlly 256ram

i guess its just a rebranding from the same manufacturer.

BUT juz to be sure. tell me all the hardware spec.

cos there a way to root it for mine, i think.

and will do so as soon as i figure out the chinese writings, and im kinda bad at it for someone whos in china for 3 yrs ;p

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

i think that might be a 5860+ in chinese market, with a different body/case

it uses the same chipset, the MSM7627, just diff clock speed, higher ram and better camera.

i juz flashed it with some random chinese, custom rom. :)

didnt thought anyone was interested.

anyhow, here's the driver hope it works. let us know.

uploaded the driver for win7, let me know if u need other driver

i baidu search Chinese rom for u guys and found a way to flash the CWM recovery i think

http://bbs.189store.com/thread-56313-1-1.html

requirement:

M$win os,

applocale, or change system locale to chinese/china

DISCLAIMER: USUAL STUFF IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISHAP, BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH.....

GIVE CREDIT TO THE CHINESE GUYS AND NOT ME, AND SO FORTH.........

1. open the link above and look for "http:删除我//pan.baidu......"

2. copy paste it to ur browser (remove the chinese character ofcos)

3. download the 5860+第三方recovery.rar by clicking the '下载' button

4. extract after download

5. put ur phone into flash/download mode by, turn ur phone off, connect it to the pc while holding the vol- button.

6. after that open the file ~/客服_7kDownloader/客服_7kDownloader.exe

7. chose the right com port that is ur phone, on the topleft of the aplication

8. and press ’开始‘ at the bottom right, wait till it finish flashing.

sometimes it got stuck, and the solution is to check ur device manager for unknown device

and install the driver (the adb driver i think) and after that it should continue, or repeat the flashing process if not.

(happened to mine)

the process is the same for flashing other roms thats on that board that i posted.

fyi its all in chinese but juz look at [ROM] threads.

also u need to register, login and reply to see the link.

but seing u got CMW, i think you guys can start cooking ur own rom.

PS I CANT TEST IT SEEING THAT I GOT A DIFFERENT(OLDER) CONFIGURATION THAN Y'ALL

BUT GUD LUCK.

I did exactly that. Also asked them for a link to the source code for the current android build as it should be released under GPL. You can boot into recovery on these things by holding both Vol Up and Vol Down and powering on. Once you see the droid, press the soft HOME key to bring up the menu. I can't do much with it yet. Haven't gotten fastboot to work. If you hold just Vol UP and power it it takes you to a black screen with white text that says "=======Enter VIA USB======". I thought this was saying "enter via USB" but after doing a

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

I noticed a device entry with a Manufacture of VIA Telcom. Still this mode does nothing for me. No luck yet, but still digging.

Hey guys, My friend got a coolpad quattro. I used to own a couple evo shift 4g's and it seems to look like through the android system recovery menu that you would need to downgrade to a different android system by tricking the android system into thinking it was an update via the apply update from sdcard. I am not that tech savvy with development or "jail breaking" android bootloaders but I think it might have to start with the partitioning of the blocks first to find where it is placed in the nand chip.
