[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
The short answer to that question is no, as it is really a personal preference as well as device dependent, meaning the same ROM may or may not run the same way on two seemingly identical phones for any number of reasons. Personally I use the JB AOKP, which is also what i used to run on my GS2 , a lot of people seem to like Cyanogenmod as well. The only way to know is flash them and find out if you like them. Just always make sure to have a recovery backup handy in case you dont like it, or if anything goes wrong during the flash. Like i said before, the important thing is to read everything in the post carefully and follow the directions ;).

Am I able to flash these roms on a droid 2?
[Milestone 2 General] -Danik-:
Completely not , so different HW.

But with moddings and ports it is possible of course but you can't just flash it.

(You may be asking becuase of the droid 2 bootstrapper that works with milestone 2.)
[Milestone 2 General] Franzferdinan51:
Yep thank you :)
[Milestone 2 General] Engle_Mars:
No, I have bricked once when I use D2G ROM.

[General Questions and Answers] DannyShane:
I currently have an opportunity to buy either an HTC One X for $50, a Samsung GS3 for $50, or a Samsung GS2 SkyRocket for $10.....Which would be the better choice? I am constantly flashing ROMs. I have also used Samsung devices a lot more than HTC, but that's not to say that I would be opposed to getting either one. I just need some advice, I'm pretty torn here. Please Help!:fingers-crossed:
[HTC One X+] vivid80:
Hi everybody,

The previous HOX was not supporting the 3G data on t-mobile due to lack of HSDPA 1700 as far as I realized. It seems that the same problem remains with the new HOX+ too since it cannot support HSDPA 1700.

Does anybody know something about it?

Thanks in advance

I think when T-mobile refarms the area you live in this might give you 3g for unlocked ATT phones and international versions also.

[HTC One X+] vivid80:
I hope it goes as you said in our region. I've seen an AT&T version of HOX+ which will support more Network frequencies as well as LTE. Would it really matter in my case? Should I go with the unlocked AT&T version or an international version?
[HTC One X+] 954wrecker:
I'm waiting until the dust settles on the refarming and on the next batch of nexus phones. Then the selections and used prices should really improve.

[HTC Sensation] metropical:
I came from ARHD 1.2.2 and wiped cache, data and delvik and flashed to OpenSensation 200121007 with 4ext. and gapps 20120429.

all is well except Play won't restore any apps. Not looking forward to a one by one.

Any suggestions for an easier fix?

Tried removing my settings/acct and adding in Play. Finds my apps, but that's all.

Should I re-flash CM9, then gapps, then OS, then Bricked?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes also before flashing did you wipe data factories reset after wiping cash and dalvik? Make sure you have nandroid backup incase something goes wrong. Steps, wipe cash, wipe dalvik, wipe data factory reset, flash Rom, flash gaaps , see if that solved your issue. Hopefully it will. Best of luck. Before flashing Rom in 4 ext I always wipe data factory reset along with cash and dalvik for a clean install. Hope this helps. Best wishes .

[HTC Sensation] metropical:
Darn the Luck ! ! ! No change. I did from scratch.

Guess it's a one by one.
[HTC Sensation] webharsh:
If you have nandroid, restore nandroid, use titanium backup to backup all apps, install new ROM, Gapps and restore from titanium backup.

While you are at it, I'll suggest try CM10.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
I do have nandroid, bur I figured the last time I tried OS it was unstable so I didn't use the nandroid.

Is CM10 stable with OpenSense 1007, WiFi calling and tether?

Perhaps you can answer this.

Some suggested that TWRP was a better recovery. I tired it with the todays re-flash and still have these (gapps) issues. But it seems to have overwritten 4ext though it does use some element of 4ext based on the progress log.

Is there a way to delete TWRP and just go back to 4ext?
[HTC Sensation] webharsh:
CM10 is quite stable not sure how it compares with Opensensation. Bruce CM10 is getting updates almost every other day. I asked you to try because since you are between ROM's you can get a feel of what CM10 is and how it works out for you.

Wifi calling , I don't think works on any AOSP/CM based ROM. Tether I've never used so dunno again. Check CM10 forum.

I think you can install 4ext on top of TWRP to replace it.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
WTH, I'll try another. So far (knock silicon) OS is pretty stable. I think I didn't properly wipe the first time I tried and/or this kernel is better.

WiFi and Tether do work with AOSP (pretty sure OS is AOSP derived).

4ext simple wouldn't reinstall over TWRP2, although it doesn't appear that TWRP is making some use of 4ext "routines" somehow.

Since OS is stable, I'm good.
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
That happened to me when I changed my hboot by way of upgrading the firmware and my phone got a different android ID. I think titanium Backup gives you the option to restore the latter id number if you run it just when you are starting to setting up your phone. I didn't know that so I ended up installing one by one but gave me the chance to discard the ones I wasn't using

This flashplayer works but is there any way to stop the phone from going in to sleep mode while watching flash video? I never had this problem in ICS but when I switched to a JB rom now when the screen times out it goes off and kills the video rather than stay on the length of the video that is playing in flash.

It worked but when you reboot your stock touchwiz ROM reinstalls the stock recovery automaticly everytime you reboot.

In odin uncheck "force reboot"

Flash CWM

Remove battery of the phone

Put it back

Boot directly in recovery with the volume up+home+power combination

You now can boot in CWM to flash your .zip files.

Can somebody please help me make my pulldown bar on CodeNameAndroid just like this? It would be amazing if anybody could make a zip theme or flashable zip. The forum where I got this from has a download but it doesn't have the file for zip themer and it causes my UI to crash on boot up after flash. Stock or CNA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
I don't know how to make a ZT file or flashable zip, but I know which files need to be altered...it's not hard, you only have to change out two files in your SystemUI.apk. I'll type out an explanation if you want to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
I'll try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] warfexion:
Sure. I hope this means I don't have to recompile or anything. I hope its just editing in photoshop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Nah, for basic image changes you don't need even need to decompile/recompile anything.

You just have to pull your SystemUI.apk from system/app. You can do it either through adb or copy-paste to sdcard and then your PC using a file explorer app. Use this PNG I uploaded https://www.box.com/s/93whafwr36fzyijvkx86, and copy-paste it (use WinRAR or 7Zip) to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder of your SystemUI.apk. Push/copy-paste SystemUI.apk back to system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r, and then reboot. It should work.

As always though, have a nandroid handy just in case, or have your original SystemUI.apk ready if you need to push it back.

EDIT: Tried it just now to make sure it worked. Attached a pic if you want to see. Also...I can't tell from the pic you attached whether the top part where the date/time is is transparent as well. If you wanted that part transparent, use this PNG: https://www.box.com/s/hh5h8ptqpc8nojw8x292, replace it in SystemUI.apk using the exact same steps and that part will be the same transparent black as the rest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] warfexion:
Thanks so much dude your awesome! IDK anything with android that isn't flashable ends up usually a mess in my hands so thanks and finally I don't have to stare at that ugly grey! :D

Hey I was just wondering, do I need to downgrade to a stock rom to get a its update ics or can I work around it on my flashed Rom?

I have s-off and relocked 4ext recovery. But I forgot to make a back up before I flashed so if I do need to revert can anyone link me to a stock GB rom?

Thanks.

Also the Rom I'm on is a ShooterRU beats audio 4.0.1 sence 3.6 has a lot of bugs so that's why I want to go back to a stock ics Rom.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
Hi,

I noticed on my Nexus 7, YouTube app buffering quite often.

Compared to Galaxy Nexus, on the same network.

Is there anything to improve this?

I am running stock rom and rooted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
I noticed this on both my gnex and N7... dunno why I have a 30Mb line... -_-
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
i think its a youtube thing. ive noticed on my evo lte, nexus 7, and my ridiculously over powered computer all on a 25meg line that it will only load so far ahead on videos and sometimes end up buffering. up until a month ago ish i would click a video and the whole thing would be loaded in a few seconds
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjs229:
My YouTube app gets stuck buffering constantly. I tried dumping and reinstalling but get the same problem. I remedied it by using a browser. No lag or buffering.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbotab:
Weird, I don't have any issue with the Youtube app on stock 4.1.2 playing HD Big Buck Bunny in Landscape. How often it stop to buffer, for those with the issue?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidnext:
The new youtube app suck. When you browsing in portrait mode, you only get one single column for (info, related and comments). The old youtube app 4.0.23 have 3 different tabs for each one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjs229:
It stops for good until you click the hd button. It will then start back up in standard definition and freeze again down the line somewhere. I thought I had it fixed by just using the browser but that freezes as well. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why because sometimes vids play flawlessly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
I got this too..doesn't matter which video..it all buffer! It seems like the video download is much slower n the YouTube app. I have tried different wireless router s and even set a test one where my N7 is the ONLY device on the network. I have 18mbps line.

Got to the point I stopped using the N7 and just used my Note. Strangely, this issue doesn't happen with my old iPad 2.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7GU22:
I have a strong belief (in my case at least) that the N7 is picky about certain routers... At home my YouTube app is an absolute dog, unusable anytime - thus resorting to the Chrome browser which is ok for non-HD. However, at school and a number of friends houses, it works like a charm. So I've come to that conclusion of something to do with the router compatibility...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjs229:
If it's the router why do all the other streaming apps work fine? It's YouTube.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
Yes, its the YouTube app, all right. Netflix, Hulu, Crackle and others don't buffer.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyladouche:
Necro-bump

Just wanted to necro-bump this and say that it's still a problem (despite tons of app updates since this thread).

Original nexus 7 constantly buffers via the youtube app if HD is selected. If I turn off HD, the video doesn't buffer nearly as much. My network is not the problem; I can watch HD videos on youtube with my computer just fine (no buffering issues). Even SD videos in the youtube app buffer, whereas if I load youtube.com in chrome on my N7 and watch the exact same video in SD as what I was trying to watch in the app, there is zero pausing to buffer (and I can see the buffer bar constantly grows).

I am also of the idea that the tablet is sensitive to router types; I don't know why this is, but wifi reliability on my nexus 7 went down at home after I flashed our router to dd-wrt firmware (all other devices on our home network have been the same). Haven't investigated this further. All router settings seem to be identical as before the flash.

Why I can stream HD videos on netflix (and other apps) just fine on my N7, but youtube chokes...it's a youtube thing--either the app, or something on their backend. It's frustrating as hell, and despite the nice form-factor, I'm regretting getting this nexus 7 as much as I regretted trying the KFHD...lol.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jurrasstoil:
necro-bump as well i guess.

Still a problem running 4.4.4 on my rooted nexus 7 (2012) and latest youtube app. The thing is like 2 days old and I have no other apps installed yet.

The weird thing is that rebooting the device "fixes" the problem for like 5 minutes. After those 5 minutes it goes into super slow mode again and starts buffering at like 1mbit or less for 720p quality. Most of the time it plays 2s, buffers 5s, plays another 2s, buffers 5s again, plays another till I feel the urge to just smash the table into the ground.

It's like it forgets to buffer while playing the content it has already buffered.

Incredibly aggrevating considering this problem is almost 2 years old now and there are multiple google group posts about it, some with 100s of entries. All the replies from google are "alright, thanks for the feedback, we passed it on" or "thanks for the feedback, there is a new update, tell us if it is fixed"...

yupp you got it right. just pull the apps out of the rom zip and install them through any file manager :) if the apps don't work then its because they rely on certain files other than the apps themselfs such as framework and whatnot so they will never work unless you do a whole bunch of other stuff. experiment and find out :)
