[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
While I like ADW Launcher and the default CyanogenMod interface, I've been starting to explore some of the other launchers out there. The "GO Launcher" series of widgets are very attractive and generally well done. So, I installed the launcher, weather, and task manager widget.

I have to say that while the widgets look great, they take longer to load than what I'm used to. I find CM7 popping up with a message saying the apps are taking too long to load, giving me the option to force close or wait. Usually if I click "wait", the screens finish loading shortly afterward. Regardless, even after a fresh boot, when I use the home screen, other pages, and apps, I'm finding my whole interface rather sluggish. I've got a 32Gb class 6 SD card installed with apps loaded to it by default as well. What's really most annoying is that when first bringing up the home screen, it takes at least 15 seconds for the Weather EX widget to load the time and basic weather... from cache! I have mobile data turned off by default.

Conversely, I find the ADW Launcher much more responsive. On occasion it does lag and result in a prompt asking to force close or wait, but not nearly as much as with GO Launcher. I wonder if the GO widgets are really meant for phones with more powerful processors... and that despite being compatible with ROMs ported for the HTC Hero, it's simply not worthwhile to try utilizing them.

Anyway, I'm just curious if anyone has experienced this sluggish performance on their HTC Hero and what launcher you'd recommend with similar graphical refinement but reasonable performance. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
I'm starting to find that GO Launcher is very sluggish right after a cold boot... and that it takes a while before it "settles in". When awakened from sleep, it'll work OK, at least for the most part. The lag I was experiencing before was probably some overhead or memory consumption left over from the initial installation.

Anyway, hopefully the reasonable performance won't be a fluke and will continue to work well. The GO Launcher offers a nice suite of widgets that conserve space pretty well. I especially like how you don't have to drag icons to a trash bar, that a little pop-up will give you several options adjacent to the icon (including trash).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
That's piracy. We don't allow that here.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalBeatz:
Use Apex or Nova launcher. It's simple and i've gotten virtually no lag on it. It's bland so that's why it's fast. The hero can't really handle anything else with ease. Two of the reasons its sluggish as hell is because of the processor and the lack of ram. There's not really any cure expect getting a better phone, which you probably know.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hippie459MN:
When running a CM7 based rom I have always found Zeam to be the lightest and quickest launcher. I have run ADW EX as well and loved it for its customization features like changing the app icons and such but Zeam is just hands down fastest launcher on my Hero. ADW was not far behind either. I did try GoLauncher once and it seemed really sluggish on my hero for some reason.

I still have my Hero (Sure I always will) and still mess around with it and right now I am currently using Zeam with the rom in my sig and it is crazy fast! Like a brand new phone all over again. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vltchkr:
Been using all of Go products since v1.5 or something. I also been running there beta's on 1 of my phones. 3.16 or .17 was released in early Oct. Well my Go keyboard and Go locker crashed, had written them asap and within 24 hours there was a new version, and those issue's were fixed. Guess I'm saying these DEV's as most all DEV's are good about keeping there products fresh.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drspinderwalf:
If you're looking for a smooth and sleek launcher I'd go for LauncherPRO. It's unmaintained and not very feature-rich but it's incredibly smooth and stable. Wish it were open source.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
FYI, I have gone with Zeam and I'm super happy. Very nicely done launcher, lean and efficient with hardly any lag.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blizzard89:
i search for a way, to make a complete backup. Because i will test some other roms.

complete backup mean somthing like the ftf files for Flashtool. a backup from kernel, rom and personal data's in one way with one file or folder that i can restore later.

i think, that this not is possible with Smartphone on, so it must be a way with pc and Smartphone in Flash- or Fastboot mode?

please help!?!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Just make a nandroid backup from your custom recovery ;).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blizzard89:
The problem is, that custom recovery need a installed kernel and there are no way to change the complete software, only the Rom and my data, not the kernel
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Could you be any clearer? Kernels are flashable via recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blizzard89:
My actual Rom is very stable and smooth with a stockromkernel so I don't want to install the Rom, root it and install cwm to restore my system every time.
[Nexus 7 General] MMcCraryNJ:
Be wary of "forcing" OTA updates using Framework Services trick, breaks stuff

I've seen this posted before in many of the "4.1.2" threads, but the info is likely to get buried in there, and since I have personally experienced this myself with my GNex, I figured I'd post this in a new thread.

The method of force stopping/clearing the data of Framework Services in the All Apps list to force any OTA to download will cause you a lot of headaches after the update. There are a couple of issues that I could see.

Firstly, ANY app (not just Google apps) that uses push notifications for anything WILL break. The only way to fix them is to either force stop/clear data from ALL of those apps (meaning you might potentially lose important app data as this basically resets the app back to when you first downloaded it), and set all of them back up again, OR to do a Factory Reset of the entire device after your device is updated.

Secondly, you will NOT be able to download apps from the Play Store weblink and "push" them to your device. The Play Store will NOT see your device anymore as it won't be in your devices list. There might be a way to fix this, but I haven't found it, aside from again, doing a Factory Reset and setting up your device from scratch. Even if I logged out/deleted my Google account, and re-logged in/re-added, this did not fix the problem.

Thirdly, Google Music/Play Store purchases of Books/Movies/Magazine/Music seem to be broken at times. Whatever the authorization process Google uses, you break it when you clear Framework Services. This happened to me once, and might have only been a one-time deal, but please be wary of this.

Now, like I've said, I've run into these issues on my Galaxy Nexus while forcing OTAs. The only way I could proceed with my newly updated device without constant Google Services/Play Store/Notification issues was to completely reset my phone and start from scratch. Now I know some people like to do this between major updates anyway, to start the device fresh, so this wouldn't apply to you anyway since you would update and then immediately Factory Reset, but if you're just planning on updating and keeping your device configured the way it is now, you will run into these issues (and potentially others that we don't know about yet).

A better idea to me would be to either wait for the OTA to be pushed automatically, or to save yourself time, flash to stock using the new factory images. Would save you a lot of time by doing that, rather than figuring out what apps broke and what you need to fix, and how to fix them.

Please be wary of this, and know the consequences if you do attempt it.
[Nexus 7 General] FallN:
I can confirm that messing with the Framework to force the OTA does muck up purchases and update of apps through Google Play.

So be advised. You'll most likely have to delete your Google account off the device and clear Google App cache, restart, the reenter you Google account info to get Google Play back to normal.
[Nexus 7 General] pofadda:
Failed OTA leading to a minor disaster?

Damn and blast! I read this seconds after I did this little trick. I've not yet run the 2nd OTA... might I escape the consequences of my trusting foolishness?

I did it because the scheduled OTA failed and was aborted (said CWM Recovery) but I failed to note the exact error message. Could this have been caused by it being rooted, as little else has been done to screw the Nexus around?

Where is the update stored before it is processed? Not on 'SDcard'. Is it a full download or a stub for a later big download?
[Nexus 7 General] DarkhShadow:
Its in /cache and its about 33mb

[Nexus 7 General] Scythe024:
i used this method and have had no issues with none of the stuff you described. Its actually running flawlessly right now. I also forced the update on my Gnote (yes not a google device, but still a android force update) with no issue.

edit: I only cleared the data, not forced stop
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
Yep I know I, oldblue910 and others have warned people about this and it was just glossed over..

Oh well.. At least people are trying..
[Nexus 7 General] Shrink:
This is how I updated mine and haven't noticed any problems. What would be a sure fire way of knowing that this method caused some problem? My account is recognized in the Play store and apply updates are recognized. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] Warren_Orange:
Same thing with the Nexus S about 6 months ago. Peeps trying to get the OTA early and breaking stuff on their phones. So I left well alone during the 4.1.2. update and just waited.
[Nexus 7 General] Ves:
This method always came with a warning.
[Nexus 7 General] simacca:
No problems with my device being recognised on the web play store. Also reset my main apps to get notifications working properly.

All fine here :)
[Nexus 7 General] RusherDude:
I massive forced this method to get 4.1.2 on my Nexus 7. I stopped this procces and deleted data again and again for 3 days until the update appeared.

Concretly, I had to do this trick 6 times in a row just before I got the update option.

And my device runs flawlessly, I can install from web gplay to the device, all my apps using push services hadn't a single problem, etc.

Before being that catastrophic, you'd get sure if this affects Nexus 7 or was a problem in Gnexus only..
[Nexus 7 General] ronin688:
I did this "trick" about 4 times to force the update. I did not stop the process, only cleared data.

My device seems to be running normally. I get gmail, can access the play store, and can remotely install apps from the web interface. I'll keep an eye on it though to see if I get any side effects.
[Nexus 7 General] Scythe024:
seems to be only a issue with the nexus phone since no 1 has reported having this problem with the nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] diecast17:
I can confirm I have this problem after updating to 4.1.2

When I log into Google Play on my computer my Nexus 7 is not listed. Does anyone know an easy way to fix this?
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
It'll show up eventually, nothing to freak over. :) Just for preventive measures.. Remove your Google account on your phone and re-add it.. Your Nexus 7 should show back up on the Play website in less than 12hrs..
[Nexus 7 General] diecast17:
How do you remove the Google account on the Nexus 7?? I don't see a way to remove it, only a way to add an account.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

You're right it did show back up. All looks well now, I hope!
[Nexus 7 General] kieso:

[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
:good:

Just for future reference.. To remove your Google account from the Tablet

Settings.. Tap on the Google account under accounts / Tap on the section with your email and little sync icon / Tap the menu button / remove account.
[Nexus 7 General] kristovaher:
You are incorrect here in number of points. I've done this many times and while yes, push notifications stop working for a while in some apps, they start working again soon after. What happens is that you end up removing Google connection data from your phone, this is why the device becomes lost for Google Play, why push notifications fail and so on.

The reason why many don't have any clue that this happens is that this restores itself automatically. Why? Because it still has Google Account. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESET YOUR PHONE. If you experience these problems, then just wait. Longest I had to wait for it to reset was about a day, but it generally happens much quicker.

You can speed this process up usually by visiting Play Store on your phone and just in case starting every app you have that has push notifications registered for once.

Your phone will do all the work.
[Nexus 7 General] 3vo kid:
Haven't had any issues since I did the force update. All apps still push notifications and at the play store website my n7 is still there with all my apps.

[HTC One X] ozzyblack:
my one x is one jelly bean. Running great. My wife's phone is a S2 Samsung. Her WiFi speed is very very slow. If I shut down the WiFi on my hox then her speed is back. No I flash my hox back to ics en both phones are very speedy. What can I do. Want to have jb.
[HTC One X] Jamekerr:
Try a different kernel maybe? It sounds like a router issue to be honest.
[HTC One X] Vcek:
if you are experiencing random wifi going off probably because of smartsync search how to disable it, otherwise could be kernel
[HTC One X] ozzyblack:
If I turn the jb WiFi on on my hox.then the phone of my wife and daughter, wife s2 doughter desire hd are very slow. I go back to ics and problem solved.
[HTC One X] mando508:
Maybe you're using "Best wifi performance" in advanced options (it makes your signal reception better) and like Jamekerr mentioned above it can be router issue (poor signal performance when many devices are connected). If that so you need to buy better antenna for your router. I don't believe it's a kernel/rom issue.
[HTC One X] ozzyblack:
Router is okay. Sometimes connect with 8 users or devices, no problem. But if I start the jb phone al the device's have problems. But the jb not
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
I noticed a new option in JB: Menu>Advanced>WiFi frequency band. Try changing it to see if it helps.

A long shot but worth a try

I also read that turning on best performance may help the issue, contrary to common sense but again, worth trying.
[HTC One X] ozzyblack:
Test it again. When a turn WiFi on. Everything slow down. On ics no problem. Strange
[HTC One X] stuart0001:

[HTC One X] trongnghia2411:
OMFG my friend! I have the exact same problem. NOt exact but since update to Jelly Beans, whenever my phone is connected to Wifi, the internet connection is COMPLETELY LOST 90% of the time.

I own a Zenbook Prime and from ur post that I realized the computer wifi is fine and all the problems started when I upgraded to Jelly Beans. Since then, I have to switch my Modem from MIXED (B/G/N) mode to B MODE Only.

Now I turned off Wifi on HOX and Wifi (Mixed mode) is working perfectly!!!!!!

Finally found the reason!!!!!

Hope they find a fix soon!

So glad that I'm not the only one having the current problem (and also the proximity sensor problem)

Wifi/Advanced/ Wifi Freq

Change Auto -> 2.4GHZ and see if it helps!

Hi,

I'm using my S3 with stock rom (ICS) , rooted with a custom kernel.

The switches of the pull down menu was more than enough for me until today but now I'm frequently using ;

- mobile access point

- wifi-direct

- NFC

features.

So I need to turn them on/off frequently.

It would be very nice to have them switchable through the pull down menu.

Is there a mod which would cover all or some of these ?

Hi

Upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 using Wugfresh's excellent Toolkit.

Stock baseband that came with the Wind GNex was Android 4.1.1 running UGLH1. After upgrading to 4.1.2 Stock Yakju build, the baseband changes to XXFL1 - which i assume is the same version as ICS.

So far seems reception is fine. Mostly in Toronto North York area I receive 3 bars signal and switching frequently between 3g/HSPA+.

Wondering from fellow Canadian WIND / AWS users if they have experienced any issues using XXFL1 radio baseband on Jelly bean 4.1 or what the best radio to flash is ?
