Hi,

Hello,

I've been trying to read around but I ended up with nothing.

Can anyone offer suggestions for which ROM i might use.

I've been on stock HC, but got bored with slow speeds and skype playing up... So I just s-off and install stock GB.

Really I want a nice smooth ROM, ideally with pen, hw buttons and root. I don't need any specific OS. But I can't seem to find many non-'stock ROMs that cater for pro-grade which is very important for me.

Any suggestions please. Its late and I've run out of steam for looking.

Thanks,

S.

I'm usually not a fan of "what is the best ROM" threads. But seeing as activity is close to nothing on this forum for some time right now, there aren't really any active threads on the topic, so it seems like a valid question.

When I first switched to HC (must have been way back in late 2011) it seemed to perform close to as smoothly as GB. Really not much different at all in smoothness (insignificant really), despite some people's claims that HC is so laggy compared to GB. Now, I feel the tablet is super laggy. But I think it has more to do with now owning a One X phone since may, which is so much faster, and much better CPU specs. Faster than any Android device on the market when it was released.

At first I thought maybe the ROM had just slowed down over time, and bogged down with processes, apps etc. So I did a full data wipe, and flashed the newest version of the custom ROM I was on. And the performance did not change. So I really do think its just a perception thing.

Now I'm digressing quite a bit from your question. I played around with a few ROMs here and there (mostly earier in the year) and settled on HoneySense. It gives you the option to turn the hardware keys back on, and some other cool features. I don't feel that it makes the tablet any less laggy, even overclocked (maybe just a tiny bit). But I did seem to have a decent gain in idle battery life, which is certainly a good thing.

HC version of LeeDroid is pretty good too. But the app drawer was just too crowded for me. I think the dev was going to make some mods for different app drawer layouts to remedy this, but it never happened AFAIK. Its just a personal taste, you might think its fine.

I also tried the Sense version of IOIDroid for a short time. It had some real potential. Not sure how the dev did it, but it seemed significantly smoother than HoneySense. But there was a few things that were deal breakers for me. It has the AOSP keyboard, (I found this choice a bit odd, since there is also a "Senseless" version of this ROM)where I really prefer the Sense one. Also, I could not get Gmail working, which is a must have for me. Wouldn't even let me install it from the Market.

I never got into the ICS or JB ROMs. Still too many things not working quite right. Development has slowed. But hopefully the dev (Dexter) has not completely left our device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
For fast, lag free and all stuff working use FlyHIGH GB rom. Ull limit yourselves with apps for HC / ICS but hell, rom runs great. I did try HC Leedroid, ICS XXL and JB, LeeDroid GB and ofc stock GB and stock HC. FlyHigh is best for mine usage since on top off all i need phone calls via BT. With good setup ull have good tab look even on GB. I also find out HW keys r awsome compare to HC/ICS/JB low menu buttons. I am missing those a lot on SGT2.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wender0800:
Is have to use Bluetooth headset for making the phone call on GB 2.3.4 stock Rom on Flyer?

Is any one use Flyer to make phone call without BT as the way cell phone did?

Is FlyHIGH GB rom still need to use the BT to make the phone call?

I'm shocked at the number of mobile apps that blatently collect our personal information. I would like to compile a list of developers and apps that collect this information so we can better avoid them.

In the PC world, developers are highly scrutinized for their data collection policies. Facebook made headlines when their policy changed to retain the rights to everything you upload to their servers. Android apps on the other hand are filled with such violations of our privacy, and there is very little awareness of this.

I believe if we users show our concerns and publicly shame them for this practice, we can start to turn the App store around, and maybe enjoy some games that we were not comfortable with installing before.

I have been learning Java and watching android development tutorials. I have created this application mainly out of curiosity!

I have made this thread because I would really like some suggestions on both functionality and UI (and any bugs?)!

This is a Real time/ Live wage counter. So you put in your income (hourly/monthly or yearly) and when you hit start, you can watch your income go up per second!

I have put the "Take a Break" button, the idea is you tap it when you leave then tap it again when you return, You are then told how much you earnt while on your (toilet?:laugh:) break.

And finally the buttons at the button allow you to be put in the shoes of some rich people!

[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
I have been trying to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery through fastboot, but it's not working. I boot into the bootloader (Power + Vol Dwn), and then into the second bootloader menu (Vol Dwn instead of Vol Up when prompted to go into recovery). When I get the 3 icons (Android Cold Boot, Fastboot USB Protocol, Wipe), I select Fastboot, and the tab displays "Starting Fastboot USB Download Protocol" but nothing happens from here. Is there a problem with the bootloader? Is there a way to replace the bootloader or the fastboot protocol?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
It was saying the same for me too,but just go ahead and flash...it will work just fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
I've tried like 10 times, twice I left it plugged in for about 4 hours, and nothing flashed. When I put "fastboot -i...." in the command prompt, I get "<waiting for device>" and nothing happens, and I can't type anything else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Oh,check if the drivers are installed corectly.Some users reported the same issue like yours in the CWM recovery thread and some of them managed to fix it,have a look in that thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
I've tried everything in that thread. The command window still hangs at <waiting for device>

I downloaded drivers from 4 different places, still nothing. I just flashed the .30 update downloaded directly from Asus, and ran the Debugfs root method again, still nothing. At least now I don't have TWRP! I will just wait until there is another method for flashing CWM, since I'm not seeing any official ROMs I want to flash at the time, anyway.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Titanium318:
I have also been trying to flash CWM as a custom recovery on my TF700t. I have never done this before so please bear with me. I unlocked my device, turned on usb debugging, plugged it into the computer, on the computer I have fastboot installed and I have 6.0.4.7-NonTouch.img in the fastboot folder. I held down power and volume down until I saw RCK, Android, Wipe Data, and in the top left in tiny print it says starting fastboot USB download protocol. I then opened my command prompt and typed in "cd C:/Fastboot" and it brought up fastboot but when I type "Fastboot devices" to check if I am connected it does not give my serial number but it also does not say device not found. when I check my computers devices it says that I have an unspecified device named fastboot connected with all the drivers up to date. And so I typed in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery 6.0.4.7-NonTouch.img" and it says it is sending "Recovery" eleven thousand ish KB but it never actually finishes. Am I doing something wrong that it is not recognizing my device properly? Please Help. Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like you don't have the right drivers installed on your PC. With it connected to the PC in fastboot open your device manager - what does it say - any transformer or adb devices with yellow question marks?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Titanium318:
I re installed fastboot and it recognized my device. I then typed"fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery 6.0.4.7-NonTouch.img" it said "sending 'recovery' (11796 KB)..." then "OKAY [3.523s]" then "writing 'recovery'..." then "OKAY [2.493s]" then "finished. Total time: 6.016s" I then typed "fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot" and it said "rebooting..." then "finished. total time: 0.548s" When it said this my tablet did not reboot it froze (instead of a green flashing square around RCK it just showed a solid green square) so eventually I just held down the power button till it restarted and booted into fastboot then selected RCK. it showed a little android with his front open and a spinning triangle and said updating then it showed the android flat on his back said error and a triangle with an exclamation point inside. Should I retry sending the recovery?

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

I believe its the original cable but I bought my tablet used. I double checked all my connections. And I used a different port. After trying again I realized that the tablet is actually freezing when I send the recovery before I even try to reboot. Do I need to root my device or is it possible to have a custom recovery unrooted?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Rooting won't help here. You have unlocked it first right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Titanium318:
Yes I unlocked it using the asus unlocker tool
[Asus Transformer TF700] Titanium318:
I tried a touch version and also a flashable zip both locked up my tablet the same as before. While my tablet is frozen after attempting to send the recovery I re-entered fastboot devices and it replied "????????????? fastboot" What does this mean?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
11.7 MB? Where did you get this recovery?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Titanium318:
This is where I downloaded CWM: http://d-h.st/YLd. So I switched and tried TWRP and it sent to my device and it did not freeze this time. It showed a blue loading bar at the bottom. I rebooted and opened RCK and TWRP opened successfully. I then Told my system to backup to my removable SD card. After it finished I tapped the reboot system button that came up. I opted not to root my device by installing superSU. I then downloaded Cromi-x to my tablet from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383 choosing the deodex option. Ithen followed the rest of the instructions and everything works great Thank you so much for your help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Did you really expect a recovery for the Nexus 5 to run on the TF700?

Flashing stuff for different devices can just not work, as in your case, or it can turn your tablet into an expensive paperweight. Consider yourself lucky.

hi folks

as the title says im after screen mirroring my s3 to my laptop it is equipped with dlna already or maybe wifi direct if its possible! according to what i read on the net it is possible to mirror s3's screen to a pc using dlna but i have no luck yet! when i scan with allshare app it does see my laptop i registered it with allshare play it sees it as an active online pc but refuses to stream music, pictures or video let alone screen mirroring!. do you think i should download a dlna server app? if so which is the best one? coz i have downloaded one called tvtrivia or something but it didnt help..

im from UK so i have the international version of s3 with original stock samsung rom on.

i have gone thru the forums but i didnt not come cross any thread about this apart from one that is about allshare cast which involves an extra hardware!

im very surprised though as i thought many people would be interested in screen mirroring!

what do you guys think about screen mirroring? anyone have made any research about this or even tried? what is your experience?

Airdroid can do basic screen mirroring but it runs at a low fps rate of ~1fps. MirrorOP is also the same I presume. I wish the was a solution for this using wifi, widi or even usb connection. That way I can easily play games with my phone as a remote or as a wheel substitute in teaching games lol.

Good afternoon,

After tinkering around with my S3 a little, I decided let me root it and try something new. Well during the rooting process for some reason or another the phone got stuck in a infinite boot up screen using certain ROM's. I've since been able to correct that issue, however my question is since my CWM recovery file seem to be corrupt when used to backup, is there a way to just extract the photos I have saved from that recovery file. If I use the full file I seem to get back the infinite boot screen issue, no matter which ROM I use. Thanks in advance for the help:good:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joederp:
Well if you used TWRP then you would have three backups. Anyways, I believe the answer is that yes, you can copy the backups to windows and then mount them as ext4 partitions and then copy the files you need. But you say the backup is corrupt (?) In that case, it probably isn't recoverable, but it should have done each partition individually, so maybe the /data/ backup is ok.

So I've fallen victim to a Clockwork Mod issue. (Why I decided to try Clockwork is beyond me) I've never had this issue with any phones, and after searching around I was unable to find anything that would fix the problem. I tried erasing the cache in fastboot, but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping there is something I can do to repair "recovery" without having to flash RUU. Any help would be awesome. I really hope this isn't a repost because I seriously search all over this board. I have the CDMA version of the HTC One V.:confused:

having trouble finding an image file of the CWM recovery. I have tried flashing to stock recovery to no avail. I want to try flashing the CWM but all I can find are GSM versions, and unforunately I have CDMA. I was able to get the .zip file from the ClockworkMod website but none of those methods will work. I can't use Clockwork Mod to flash the recovery, and I can't use Recovery to flash a .zip file. Any suggestions would be very helpful. +karma and possibly some mons to anyone that can help me solve this issue.

Ok so a few times I've used the picture frame widgets which I think is from gallery, but it drops my fps in half when it's active.

Hey guys, for the past 4 months or so now my headphone jack has been a little funny. Sometimes I go to touch it it goes staticy/stops playing music. Now almost everytime I touch my phone while its plugged in my car it'll stop playing or go staticy as well. Long story short, my jack is messed up and iknow its not the headphones/aux cord.

My headphone-jack also got messed up. I repaired this easily myself, it had just the problems you're describing.

I took a Q-tip and cut it to the right size to fit in the headphone-jack WITHOUT it loosing all of the cotton in there.

Then i messed around with it until it came out with a huge piece of dust.

I've had to do this twice to get my jack working.

One alternative would be to take some tweesers and pick the dust out with it.

And no, i wasn't able to see any dust in my 3.5mm jack. Try it, it's for free and it worked for me.
