MIUI

Miui is more UI friendly, as it integrates IOs and Android, I loved that touch on MIUI. But on the down side i have seen that it eats a lot of RAM for its smoothness. On that front CM reigns. Very recommendable ROM in the case of efficiency is CM, i wont say performance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eorlingas:
I prefer CM than miui because in CM we can do a lot of modding, especially in music experience. Dsp manager is great!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sh4kon:
miui is for locked bl.. all locked bl will go for miui
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Imperatrix:
Because I have yet to find a MIUI ROM that has all the features I need fully functional, I have to go with CM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] `etcH:
Posting here as I'm a noob, and consequently can't post to the P.A page directly.

Since this 2.12 update i've been having wifi issues, like from where i am positioned normally I get 1 bar, but its a steady one bar, now i'm often finding i have no internet connection in the same places as i would before.

I did do a dirty flash, so that is most probably where all my problems are arising from, but i'm still really new to this, and any step i take, i worry and fret over.

had some tablet ui bugs after running games, along with all applications running twice when i open recent apps. I don't know where why or when this recent apps double bug occurs, but i've come across it a few times. I believe the tablet ui bug may be related to when i set bobclock (widget) to force, adjusted the size on restart, but then would encounter the icons dropped off bottom of screen, and everything just out of place, like its reverted to old ui.

oh another issue, which has been mentioned many times before, is inability to use google play store, i've fiddled with all the different dpi settings and size, nothing seems to work.

a clean wipe would include

backing up apps/data/p.a sys pref(?)

wiping

cleaning cache's

flashing the same 2.12 p.a zip i dirty flashed before

caches again? or gapps

any dumbing down would be greatly appreciated :)

Just to say version 2.13 is out. You might want to try updating in the first instance...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] `etcH:
oh.. so there is. well i guess i can just skip over 2.12

if doing a dirty flash, when reinstalling gapps, do i have to have deleted them prior to this? or will it just replace/update the old files?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrangerWeather:
No, you don't need to. Just wipe both caches and install the new version and gapps.

we got any paranoid android avid fans here? running on the nux 7, ofc.

and by avid fan i mean, quite knowledgable, maybe able to help with some issues that may arise, being under 10 post count, there very little i can do it actually get any relevant help, ie to p.a

there is just so much information here, and being new to the android scene, consequently rooting roms and such as well. quite a bit is over my head but i'm doing my best! or well trying

Wouldn't Kernel be more specifically tied to WiFi issues? I don't know what PA does to the kernel they include, but if your up to it, you could try another kernel, like franco.Kernel
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] `etcH:
Oh. Yes. i've been on that page and have trolled through a few hundred pages.

I think I just need to become a bit more familiar with everything in regards to roms flashing and such, its not difficult but i fear i'm sure to do something in the wrong order,

yes i've read guides before you point me there.

gosh this 5 min wait timer for new people is getting on my nerves :P i didn't think i'd be wanting to reply so fast, but when you guys are on it like this, i can't turn down that kinda service!

another question while i wait for my timer to finish.

initially i flashed pa. 2.11 then gapps along with doing cache business.

since then i flashed 2.12, but not gapps, and consequently having issues with play store (cant open)

can i just go to flashing 2.13 when it finishes downloading and then flash gapps after?

is the latest gapps jb-20120726-signed?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] `etcH:
a kernel is one of these things i have no clue about.

i had a mac many years ago, and that got a kernel error, so my knowledge is limited to that its something root related, or there abouts anyway xd

How does one go about implementing one of these kernel do-hickeys?

on a side note, my wireless icon used to show grey and blue.

blue meant connected, grey, i'm not sure.. sometimes worked sometimes didn't

ever since going to 2.12 i've had nothing but grey, seem to have connection as i am downloading from goo, but as mentioned in initial post, connection is definately worse than it was before hand.. any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
Sorry I took a while, I was in class. First, you always have to reflash gapps when you flash an update or a new ROM.

When you change to a different ROM (i.e. from Slim Bean to Paranoid) it's recommended to do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing the new ROM.

So the procedure for new ROMs is this. Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

The procedure for a ROM update is the same, you just omit the factory reset.

The latest gapps is gapps jb-20120810. You can download it in Goo manager.

A kernel is what governs your CPU clock speeds and voltage levels, as well as some other things. To flash a kernel, you don't have to wipe anything, just flash the zip file. Whenever you flash a new ROM, it changes your kernel to whatever is stock for that ROM. So if you use a custom kernel, you will have to reflash it.

p.a 2.13

might anyone have any idea why after;

wiping both cashes and installing p.a 2.13 then gapps

my youtube comes up with an error from the beginning, unable to start, same goes for if you click it in the app drawer.

i fiddled about with dpi size force and such, but to no avail.

some settings transferred but not all, like the ui, after switching ui back to what i wanted, tab small/mid

i started to recieve trebuchet has stopped working, this keeps popping up but you can just leave it in the back ground and work around it..

wish i could post this in the correct thread..

ah well.

thinking of just re-flashing them both, will do whatever i did this previous time, see if the error returns.

edit: just finished the reflashing of both, no trebuchet error as expected, the youtube one is back, same as the previous flash.

i really don't think i've done anything wrong, but i haven't seen anyone else reporting this error..

edit edit: simple uninstall and reinstall for youtube and problem solved.

hope its an issue localised to me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
Yeah I would reflash. It could also be a corrupted download, try re-downloading paranoid android 2.13 and then flashing the newer zip to see if that fixes it.

I have been thinking about getting the GS3 and currently have the galaxy nexus. Is it much of an upgrade to those who have switched. Anything you miss from the galaxy nexus that you wish the GS3 did or had? I know that this is a subjective set of questions so I'm just looking for opinions.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Essenar:
The devices I had used before using this Galaxy S3:

Verizon Galaxy Nexus (So I was on 4G LTE as well)

HTC Rezound

Motorola Photon 4G

The things I liked about the Galaxy Nexus:

Seemingly lag less operating system

"Raw" Android felt more like a laptop than it did a smartphone because of the lack of bloat

Things I didn't like:

Signal drop. From what I understand wasn't exclusive to the Verizon version.

Software buttons took up screen real estate. Add your launcher buttons and you've essentially got two rows of software buttons.

The screen wasn't as large as some of the competitors.

The processor was already 'past generation' when it launched.

The things I like about the Galaxy S3:

It's blazingly fast. Not connection wise obviously lol (I miss you Verizon LTE but I don't miss pretending to be a baller to afford it) I used to hate TouchWiz but I don't even feel like getting rid of it for a vanilla rom since Samsung has really refined it.

The screen is HUGE. It has hardware capacitative buttons so the screen is only taken up by the launcher icons.

The hardware is more future proof. S4 Krait puts Exynos 4 to shame but compared to the Galaxy Nexus, it's like Usain Bolt.

The colors look gorgeous. The Galaxy Nexus looks good too but I feel like it's 'darker'. I don't know how to explain. The black levels are great on both but the S3 has better 'bright' colors. I guess that'd be contrast.

I have them both in front of me, full brightness on the same webpage: ign.com and for some reason the whites on the Galaxy S3 look more 'white' but both have gorgeous black levels. I also see about two extra lines worth of text plus some extra white space on the bottom of the screen, thanks to the extra screen real estate and larger screen.

Here's the thing: If I had already picked up a Galaxy Nexus on Sprint, I'm not sure I would upgrade unless the cost was minimal and I didn't waste an upgrade. The Galaxy Nexus is good enough to wait for devices later this year. However, if you could sell your Galaxy Nexus and spend very little to pick up the Galaxy S3, it's definitely a really good device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kbboykin:
^ I agree^. Plus, so far battery life is much better. We'll see how that compares once JB is released to the S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mainstang:
Thanks Essenar that's was the type of info I was needing. The software buttons taking up screen real estate is part of the reason I was looking at the GS3 plus I use apex launcher anyways. I will have to try to see if I can track one down on the cheap.

[HTC Sensation] stealth.kid:
So it seems my phone has become a shiny paperweight. The thing is, I don't really understand why it happened. I've been reading how other people arrived at the same situation and although some symptoms are similar, I didn't do any of those things. I wasn't flashing anything, I didn't drop the phone etc

This is what happened: about 24 hours ago, I was using my phone as a GPS (google maps and waze) when it froze. No biggie, it had happened a few times before so I pulled out the battery, waited a few minutes, put the battery back and pressed the power button. The phone started as usual, it got past the HTC splash screen, the boot animation started. A few seconds (maybe 5) into the boot animation, out of reflex, I pressed the power button to turn off the screen. Don't ask why, dunno. As I've said, reflex. So the screen went black. And it stayed that way.

Since then I've been trying to bring it back to life. No luck yet. Here's the status of the phone:

Battery is not empty - when my phone froze yesterday it was about 80% full. I tried a different battery, no change

When I plug in the USB cable to charge it, the orange/green LED that usually lights up, well... doesn't

When I press the power button, the screen backlight turns on for 2 - 3 seconds, then turns off. Pressing VolDown+PWR does the same thing. I know it seems like a battery issue, but I'm pretty sure it isn't

The computer does not see the phone anymore when connected through an USB cable. 'adb devices' doesn't return anything and I don't see anything in the Device Manager (I was hoping for a QHSUSB_DLOAD but no such luck...)

The phone is a HTC Sensation 4G, HBOOT 1.17 (I think), S-OFF, rooted, was running InsertCoin 3.4.6/Android 2.3.5. As I've mentioned, I wasn't doing any of the things that usually lead to a bricked phone like trying to S-OFF/S-ON, flash a ROM etc. I'm currently reading the internets in an attempt to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. These are the questions I'm trying to get an answer for:

When the phone boots, is it not in read only mode? At least when it gets to the boot animation part.... And if so, even if the power button is pressed... shouldn't the phone just turn off and that's it?

Since the phone seems to be as responsive as a... well, brick... If I send the phone to HTC to repair it, will they be able to tell it was S-OFF and all that?

Does this sound like something that JTAG could fix?

Thanks in advance for any help or info.

Ex: Inside the zip file there are 6, system.tar.gz, radio.img, recovery.img, data.tar.gz, (blah blah blah) and procedures as with some parts (excluding /data, /system and recovery, I think I already know it). For so I can try to create a script with such procedures.

So I bought my nexus last Thursday at my local Office Depot. Since then I've had the worst time trying to connect it to my college's wifi. They have an instructions wifi where you download your personal certificate to connect. It worked with my old Xoom but wouldn't connect for the life of me..

So today I decided to visit the infamous tech department where they struggled to find a solution. The leader came over and noticed it was a nexus. He said I wouldn't be able to connect because there is a bug in the software and I won't be able to connect until Google updates the software.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I'm tempted to leave stock and install a custom rom to see if it makes a difference.

So if anybody knows anything about this it would help me greatly and save my phones data connection from tethering.
