Hey guys, I'm working a lot of hours and I need to have a reliable phone, which ICS or JB ROM is best? I'm new to this phone, so, I don't know what my options are.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamonback:
I would say epinter one is the most reliable one for now. i bet he is cooking somthing good with his atm ROM and the leak also, so it would be even better.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Did you say reliable?

Then forget about both ICS and JB and go with GB. Any variant will do.

ICS/JB ROMs are just too unfinished yet to be a reliable daily driver, IMO. People are woking hard on them though, so there is no doubt they will one day become as reliable as good old GB.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brh0003:
Agreed.

This is a very accurate summary of where we stand. I'm still running Nottachtrix 1.3.1 even though Nottach left the Atrix over a month ago, just because everything works on it. Bluetooth, wifi, HWA, Ubuntop, all cameras, and even a decent selection of themes for both android and linux.

But with the new leak libs, there is sure to be a fantastic CM9/10 ROM that takes advantage of them. We just have to be patient.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manzing:
Hi

If you're not using thoroughly your phone, the CM10 form Epinter is now reliable enough for a daily use.

I was using CM7 since months, and after trying CM10 last week, i'm still using it and have found no real limitations for a basic usage.

I'd recommend you to keep a GB based rom if you want to have the most reliable system and if video recording is a primary need for you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engfish:
Just my $.02: I don't even use the "latest" GB 2.3.7 ROM: I've returned to Neutrino 2.6 EE (the latest is 2.91 at this writing). CM 7.2 RC1 was the most stable + efficient ROM from the CM gurus for my Atrix. I charge my phone once every two or three days too.

Think about driving a car that everyone laughs at that's never needing to go to the shop. Gits ya there, gits ya back, reliably and without anyone really paying attention to it, and it just goes and goes and holds its own against everyone else. Newest doesn't always mean best; trustworthiness does.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhc243:
Epinter's CM10 worked OK for me despite the few well known bugs.

You might give the brand new AtrICS ROM a shot. It's hard to believe that it could already be as stable as it claims to be, but with working hardware acceleration, it should have some bugs fixed as compared to CM10.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deggy:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajt1995:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deggy:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajt1995:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajt1995:
No, completely stock.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhc243:
I switched from epinter's CM10 to AtrICS today and found it to be a fairly usable. You trade some features for others.

I prefer the interface of CM10 to AtrICS, but AtrICS feels really snappy thanks to the HWA. I'll probably get used to ICS after a while. The Camera works well, but, like others I noticed that after switching from the back camera to the front, there was some corruption on the right side of the screen. Going into Camera Settings and unchecking then rechecking the Widescreen box fixes this. There are problems with the unlock screen of AtrICS; it can be slow to appear when you press the power button and I have seen the screen turn on for a split second before turning right back off. If you let the phone go into a deep sleep, you may see a black screen for a minute, in my case the unlock screen did eventually appear. I've had one reboot right after closing a bunch of apps running in the background then trying to open a browser.

WiFi works great with AtrICS and mobile data feels faster than I remember.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deplov:
My mobile gone hot after a few minute use AtrICS, and experienced network lost. The phone also hot with epinter 's version.

Restored TopSmart1.3. GB has the stablity I trust.

TopSmart is not supported anymore. You may want to move to a supported gb rom like MROM....

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
I am going to root my phone and have a few questions before I do. I am coming from a sensation and with the htc I only had 1 way to root so are any of the methods better or worse than others? I was planning on using to root injected stock rom method.

Secondly, I've read and still don't understand, could somebody explain the loss of imei to me? Htc doesn't have anything like that so I am confused about the backup of it?

Finally, could somebody suggest a good starting point for a rom and kernel combo? Unlike my htc I'm pretty happy with the stock rom sped and battery. I mainly want to tweak the looks of things a little, maybe a new battery icon and moving the clock position.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Best way to root is the video in my signature (use my files, too). It's easier and faster than the way you describe. I wish people would forget that stupid flash counter exists. It's not like we can't reset it.

Loss of IMEI very rarely happens when you flash. But, once you flash CM10, just run the terminal emulator that comes with it: su > reboot nvbackup. Now your IMEI is backed up, and you are protected against possible, but unlikely, loss. I've flashed every day for two months and never lost mine.

Rom: Why use ICS when you can use JB? IMO, the sole reason to use an ICS build is wifi calling. Use CM10. Use the stock CM kernel. CM doesn't have center clock (AOKP does), but IMO, CM is the better of the two. A lot of people like to flash custom kernels. They usually provide marginally better battery life, overclocking/undervolting, etc. I feel that none of these are necessary. There is an additional problem that the 3rd party kernels always lag behind CM's kernel merges, also. This typically results bootloops. So make sure the kernel you flash (if you do), is compatible with the newest CM build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
No the method does not matter, root is root. Read about them and use the one you are comfortable with.

Yes, HTC does have IMEI. All GSM phones do. It is basically the serial number your phone uses to connect to the network. All you have to do is follow the instructions in one of the threads to back it up.

For stock based ROMs on ICS, I like Wanamlite.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
Thanks for the reply, CM10 wasn't officially supported with the htc so it never really worked great, but it looks like the M version is pretty smooth and ironed out so I'll definitely try that. I guess a lot of the threads I've read were early ones from before the flash counter could be reset, I thought it was a bigger deal than it seems like it is. I'll try your sig's root method. Oh yeah, wifi calling doesn't work for me right now with the stock rom so losing it isn't a big deal at all.

I wasn't saying HTC doesn't have imei, I was saying in a year of having it and before with the G2 I never once read any threads about people "losing" it, so I wanted to know what makes the s3 different.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
That was SOOOO much easier than the sensation was. The senny took me over an hour, I had to learn adb and had to check and recheck a ton of commands before entering each to make sure I didn't brick anything. This was fast and easy, but now I can't seem to get into twrp recovery? Every time I try vol up/home/power it boots into what I'm assuming is the standard stock recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
My signature has an explanation for that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
Thanks again, I don't understand why but I installed cwm touch and it worked and then used goo manager to install twrp again and now it works fine. I know there's a whole thread about twrp but what do you like and why?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I stopped using TWRP because the keyboard (at least at the time) didn't work properly. It would close for no reason, making me retype the file names. Took me 5-6 times once, for this file name: CM10-XXXX. 9 characters. Would just keep closing and resetting the characters I had already typed. I've heard the new version, 2.3, has some pretty bad bugs, but I haven't used it, so can't confirm. Developer is currently fixing said problems. I also find the slide-to-continue gimmick to be ridiculous. I will say, however, that flash-queuing is a good idea.

I won't even discuss CWM because we have CWM Touch. The layout is nonsensical. Everything seems to be in random order, no dividers to make things easier to read, no prompt on fix permissions. Other than that, it's great. It allows you to delete stock recovery, and it keeps root for you when you flash OTA files with it.

CWM Touch is what I use, and will continue to use until something better shows up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
One more question, is there a way to double check once I've done the su/nvbackup using terminal emulator, or should I just assume that if the phone rebooted after running that command that it was successful?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
When you reboot with that command, you will see blue text at the top left corner of the screen, like when you are going into recovery. It says it's copying modemst1 and modemst2 to fsb and backup. Yes, the names are incorrect, but you get the idea.

The note was made for 240 dpi, and yet Samsung insist on making it 320dpi and giving us massive icons. I mines 240dpi via build change but it comes at a compromise.

Right now no ROM officially supports it :) sahilaurora tried asking mike1986 if he will adding 240 dpi but it seems his rom is totally stock.

[Galaxy Note II General] brooon:
Hmm...maybe I´m wrong, but it shouldn´t be any problem to change your DPI to 240 DPI using ROM Toolbox (or a similar app). TouchWiz wouldn´t stand this procedure, but you can use Apex or Nova instead without a problem.

And it wouldn´t be the first time that someone asks for providing a 240 DPI compatible version of S-Note ;) It has always worked in the past, so why shouldn´t it work with the Note II?!

I´m not rooted yet (just having a test device), so I can´t try it out...but maybe someone here on the board sacrifieces some minutes to check it out^^
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
We really hope...

I used that ROM alot back when i used Note 1 ;) awesome. :( but it was already stable enough :)

In any case, any paranoid android/CM we will be getting on Note 2 will be unofficial as CM team has dropped support for exynos devices :(
[Galaxy Note II General] Hendrickson:
240 works, however you get FC on the keyboard (which is perfect for the Note II) And the camera is all small, so is the dialer.

S-Notes is fine. So if you repalce the dialer,camera app and the keyboard you are fine to use 240 to 200 DPI. But is it worth it loosing the stock keyboard and camera? No..
[Galaxy Note II General] Robster83:
Losing the stock keyboard is fine IMO, as there are loads of really good alternatives... apart from the fact handwriting with the SPen relies on it. For me that's no big deal, it's a gimmick anyway, but it could be a killer for others.
[Galaxy Note II General] NexusCrawler:
Hi all,

I've been trying really hard to adapt the stock GNote2 software for 240dpi but to no avail.

Basically the issue is the keyboard which crashes at 240dpi. It works anywhere from 320 down to 270 dpi (280-270 dpi is already nicer than 320 dpi, but it's definitely 240 dpi that we want ;) ) but with a lower DPI it crashes.

What I am saying is that I think all the "button too small" issues can be fixed. For instance I have more or less successfully resized the Samsung keyboard for 280 DPI. All the other apps should be no problem: camera, e-mail...

But with the Samsung Keyboard crashing whatever I do I am stuck. Even when I resized the buttons for 240 DPI. I don't know what to do with that.

Something nice would be to "fake" the system DPI so that the Samsung keyboard still thinks it is at 320 DPI, but there seems no way to do that easilly (i.e. no source code hacking). Paranoid/Android does something like that with their "Per App Dpi" but I am not sure that we would reuse their code on Stock Samsung apps... They suggest that it is tied to CM.
[Galaxy Note II General] f3w1n:
Mmmm... Maybe the note 10.1 apps work with 240dpi... Worth a try

Can someone get this apps and installd it on the note?

- f3w1n -
[Galaxy Note II General] NexusCrawler:
Continuing on my previous post...

It sees the Samsung keyboard crashes because below 270dpi Android switches to "tablet mode". Application would not be made for it crash.

I don't know if there is any way around that? I guess Android uses the screen resolution to compute the --supposed-- size of the screen and then choose between tablet (big screen) and phone (small screen) modes.
[Galaxy Note II General] f3w1n:
Thats why i said to use note 10.1 apps.

- f3w1n -
[Galaxy Note II General] NexusCrawler:
Not sure what would be the result, do you have the Note 10.1 apps at hand?

Anyway, I have found the following thread which suggests that we could hardcode the DPI for specific applications: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903519

If we could just force the Samsung keyboard to behave as if we were at 320 DPI, always and whatever the system settings, that would be perfect in my opinion...
[Galaxy Note II General] f3w1n:
I dont have it, but the keyboard can be stracted from the jb ota leaked or try the ics keyboard from any of the note 10.1 roms

- f3w1n -
[Galaxy Note II General] 白い熊:
I'm fine with those compromises, so what's the easiest way for me to switch to 240? Never messed with dpi changes...
[Galaxy Note II General] Robster83:
I'm sure I saw a comment on a thread here (screenshot thread, perhaps) from somebody running 189DPI... I'd love to hear more about that.

I'm running 240DPI at the moment and for me, with a few quirks, it's fine. I dislike the Samsung keyboard so changed that to Swype on day-one of owning the Note 2. So really all I'm left with is the odd graphical problem or quirk (such as the comedy-looking dialer) which is fine by me.
[Galaxy Note II General] jameslfc5:
Can someone using 240 dpi post some screenshots of their icons please :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Hendrickson:

[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:

[Galaxy Note II General] Tubgirl:
Thanks... it was easy enough to manually change build prop using es explorer.

So... how low can you go??

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note II General] NexusCrawler:
Depends on the application you're using.

If you want to keep the Samsung keyboard (which is nice if you want to use handwriting recognition), the keys won't resize properly and so it is not very great. (I think I have succeeded in overcoming this issue by resizing all the keys with a semi-automatic tool)

Also, if you go below 270 DPI, the Samsung keyboard just crashes and you cannot use it at all. (I am working on it)

In any case, other keyboards (including the Swype one, included in the stock ROM) resize correctly and have no issue. It really is an issue if you want handwriting recognition. (like I do)

Other than the keyboard, the launcher does not resize properly either. Also if you use even smaller DPI (at 160 DPI for instance) then SystemMUI crashes. But you can change the launcher if you don't mind...
[Galaxy Note II General] 白い熊:
Could anyone be so kind and post their stock build.prop from an LJ1 Rom?

I used some market DPI changer, changed DPI to 270, won't boot. Went ahead and changed the 270 back to 320 in the build.prop in rescue mode, but won't boot either, stuck at the SAMSUNG word, so the stupid changer must've modified build.prop further... Of course, was dumb, and assumed, it's gonna back it up automatically, which it didn't, now I don't have a stock build.prop backup.

Puhleez... somebody... Much obliged!
[Galaxy Note II General] NexusCrawler:
I had the same thing with this application. I flashed again the ROM and everything went back into order. I used the application again and the device was bricked again. This application is definitely something that should not be used.

I don't think it has anything to do with the build.props file, but anyway, I add a build.props file in attachment. Beware, in this one, DPI is set to 280.
[Galaxy Note II General] androidizen:
Thanks Im keeping this file on hand while i play with the DPI value.
[Galaxy Note II General] 白い熊:
Yeah, the faulty app is called LCD Density Modder in the Play store. Don't use it. The problem with it is it saves build.prop with the wrong permissions, not 644 and thereby the phone will not boot.
[Galaxy Note II General] dXsL:
be VERY CAREFULL with "dpi changers" on Play, it's a very popular tool and many are looking for it.

I'll use swiftkey instead of Samsung Keyboard... but the main drawback is the camera... :(. Fringe !

I have tried to use Omega in 240 dpi, it is better with apex in 7x7 ! This is the best dpi / configuration... for note2.

If not, uninstall the APK in that post, download and install the apk from here (XposedInstaller-ICS_JB-rc2.apk), launch the app and install the framework. Then reboot and install this (latest version of per-app-settings by tungstwenty), enable it in the xposed installer app you installed previously, reboot and it should work.
