I agree with this. They say android has true multitasking vs ios fake paused multitasking.

Wtf, I hate that every time I go to my browser, it reloads and I even tried other browser. Even my I phone 4 does fake multitasking better.

This fuknn android is annoying, quad core 1gb ram isn't enough? Google shouldn't have allowed manufacturer to skin their Android, making android run like sh1t
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
That defeats a lot of the purpose of android, as then it would be severely limited. However I do agree that skins slow Android down, the Nexus 4 has PERFRCT multitasking it's ridiculous. it does have 2 gb of RAM. But part of the reason is stock android

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deztajunior:
2GB is more than enough if the OS support true Multitasking

because windows xp can mutitasking with 256MB RAM

CMIIW sorry, newbie
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wednesday13:
But it's destroying android. People view android as slow laggy and keep crashing apps prior to 4.x. This is due to poor coding of manufacturers, not optimized software. Just keep putting a bloat of features and gimmicks. Look at the exynos exploit, wt* was that.

And now implementation of jelly bean to exynos devices, this is not true implementation of jb with vsync etc, it's still fkkn laggy. Even the galaxy nexus is faster than s3 lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You want real multitasking then develope it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Not necessarily. The Galaxy S3 was the first phone I've seen in multiple people's hands, after the iPhone. People seem to think the S3 is fast and actually include it on their holiday wish list.

I don't disagree with you, but I like how manufacturers add their own stuff to Android. It gives each one their own unique trait. I avoid those products, but hey.:rolleyes:

why? can't someone just criticize someone other's (google's in this case) choices? do I have to fix it on my own or shut up? I quite agree with SilverHedgehog when he says he can't stand multitasking on android, especially for browsers...god, multitasking on smatphones is becoming a nightmare...and apps' ram consumption is simply ridiculous...at the moment: 30 MB for Contacts, 30 MB for Facebook (I wonder why, given that if I open the app it starts reloading), 30 MB for GO SMS...30 MB for an SMS app!!! :eek:

Get a phone with more RAM. Had this problem on the G2 and kindle fire but not on my droid DNA :D

... Or maybe its just the 2gb of ram I have on this device :D

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addicted2088:
The high RAM usage is due to Java, which is much RAM hungry than other languages. In fact, remove Java and replace Android core with C or another language, multitasking will improve a lot since RAM usage will go down = less frequent killing of apps. However, that's not happening, so it looks like 2GB RAM devices are the only choice for those who have an issue with multitasking on 1GB RAM devices (including me), even on the Galaxy Nexus, which runs "stock Android".

Hi. There is a new release of the Game of Taboo fo Android. There are 500 free words and in the pro version over 1200. In the Pro version the are two mode of games: Rounds and Points. Plus u can play with up 4 Teams!

Both versions are highly customizable.

Thanks . :D :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] redspeed:
I like the free version having 500 words- most free versions only give you around 50 words or so.

I noticed a bug if you start in landscape mode some of the text is cutoff, and it looks like some italian was left in the game where is says 'di' instead of 'of'

Great app though

Hi everyone,

I've been searching around for a bit, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of any CM10/AOKP theme engine themes that only change icons? I Like the look of stock Jellybean, but I don't really like the stock icons. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] traskers:
Just use an alternative launcher like Nova or Apex and then look for themes for those.
[Android Themes] mattdm:
Yeah I can do that, but that doesn't help when app icons show up in places such as Recent Apps or Lockscreen Targets. I'd like the icons to be changed at the system level, not the launcher level.
[Android Themes] mattdm:
*bump*

Anyone?
[Android Themes] Sckank:
This is interesting. Bump indeed.
[Android Themes] bistrotheque:
I've spent the whole evening looking for exactly this. Bump.
[Android Themes] mattdm:
I think there's a real market for this. I would even pay $.99 on the Play Store for a Sense Icons theme. Or Touchwiz 4. Or some kind of Miui-like icons. Really, I'd love it if there were several options of this type...any themers out there feel like going into this?
[Android Themes] mattdm:
I would love to have the Sense 4 icons...like the ones in this Apex theme. I don't know where you'd find the icons though... :confused:
[Android Themes] mattdm:
I use a Galaxy S2, so HDPI. Does it matter though? Other CM10/AOKP themes work for both...

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to understand. If I'm wrong, please tell me!
[Android Themes] mattdm:
I know it matters for a lot of graphical elements in the UI, but I don't think it'll make any difference if we're talking about just icons. I've used several themes built for XHDPI devices on my S2, and what happens is this: I get an error that says, "Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." I click the Apply Anyway option, and then everything works fine.

Thanks for doing this, by the way! You're a life saver.
[Android Themes] s-X-s:
U will need to make icon packs urself or changed each apk icons one by one for each app u installed if u have root... no icon pack in market will change all icons for the all apps installed as there are millions of apps... With launchers u can just change home icons not appdrawer....
[Android Themes] ppalbicke:
You can use a program like themeX to extract the icons to speed it up a bit. Also I have made icons if you want any help.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Well you could if you make it theme chooser of icons only.
[Android Themes] mattdm:
Any word on this?

By the way, I'd like to know how to do this in the future if I need to. Can you point me in the right direction? I've tried looking through some of the tutorials and templates, but I haven't seen much on app icons.
[Android Themes] genisis7:
Could you tell me where you got the process names of applications ?

For eg. I want to theme the root explorer icon then what do i name it and where do i place it in the apk ?
[Android Themes] mattdm:
Bummer, I downloaded and installed it, but it errors out when I try to apply it. "This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied. Please report this incident to the theme author."
[Android Themes] mattdm:
Trying that now...

EDIT: That worked! Thanks for your help. :)
[Android Themes] 12th Planet:
Hey.

Can you explain how you compiled a icon only theme? I'd really like to know how 'cause I'm also looking for the same thing or instructions.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] 12th Planet:
Ok, thanks man!

I'd actually like to do it myself because I want to learn how to do make icon only theme. Will the way you do it, work for XHDPI?
[Android Themes] 12th Planet:
Alright, I found a guide that helped me compile and decompile using apktool and managed to make a theme. One question: when i delete an xml or edit an xml, it won't compile. how can i fix this?
[Android Themes] ppalbicke:
Also be careful what you edit in the xml. It will throw out errors if you reference something that is not there and not compile.
[Android Themes] mattdm:
If you're still around and theming, would you be willing to make one more icons theme for me, if I provide the icons? I've been using the Sense Icons theme you made for months, and it's been perfect. However, now that I've upgraded to a device with a 1080p display, the icons are too low-res to look good.
[Android Themes] mattdm:
Ok, thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll get the icons together tonight and send you a link.

Here are the icons I would like the theme to replace.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
So recently this was posted, and it seems like our phone is one of the potential victim.

Basically a website could triggers the phone to factory reset causing one to lose its data.

"However, simply browsing a website with the code embedded will not trigger the reset, but opening a message via QR, NFC or WAP Push SMS will. When the website link opens, it starts the wipe."

This is the website to see if you're vulnerable: http://hugelaser.com/ac/ussd-test.php?conf=true (open it using your phone's browser)

I'm using the apocalypse rom, based on cm7 and it was caught as a vulnerable software. All of the other gingerbread roms will most likely have the same result.

In short, be aware of random sites and random QR-codes that you might find on the street. Make a nand backup (and copy it to your computer) from time to time.

Panic! Or remain calm and grab your towel. There are various (and sometimes contradictory) reports going around about which devices are vulnerable and which are not. It is largely perceived that AOSP devices are not affected. Regardless, a bit of certainty goes a long way, so here is what we know:

Three patches were merged into AOSP in June by Daisuke Miyakawa (of Google) to rectify the issue. This would effectively mean JB sourced ROMs are immune (CM 10 included). Likewise, it would appear some OEMs have independently patched the behavior.

So, we are taking Daisuke's work, and after testing, back-porting it into CM7 and CM9 source (ICS patch is already on gerrit http://goo.gl/SuuWH and GB patch is http://goo.gl/zDuca ). Testers are wanted, just to make sure there are no adverse behaviors.

Using opera mini, blocking some html you don't get the imei screen, does that mean using opera can be a temp fix for this vulnerability (i got the imei screen with dolphin browser and stock browser)?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] InverseSandwich:
Dolphin uses the webview component, and Opera uses their own engine, so you'll be fine.

Make sure you dont have back to kill activated. It kills any app your in by pressing the back button. Development options

You may be right. Not sure if it's exactly the same but i remember a setting "when backing out of a program with the back button, it will kill the app instead of running it in the background." I'll check into it

Edit: found it. It's in development options. Both settings are. "Don't keep activities" is the one i was referring to. I just tested it and it will accidentally close the app when pressing back. It thinks you want to leave the app.
