[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] P2o8wer:
this morning i got an update through goo man. for gapps.i checked into it and figured it was for my device since it did the same for build 4 aokp so i flashed it.after i flashed it i reilized it was for 4.1.2..im running 4.1.1. everything seems to be fine,but should i flash back to the one for 4.1.1. or should i leave it alone??? i dont plan on switching to 4.1.2...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You just have updated gapps. No different than side loading latest unreleased versions. If they work be thankful you are up to date with the latest goodies from Google. They will eventually be the default regardless of what version Android you are running. :cool:

anyone here in the beta i got my email but some of the perrissions have me a bit worried

i made a post over in that thread just wanted to see if anyone here has tried the new app
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
I was trying to add the maps app to my mult-itasking bar and couldn't seem to find a way to do it. On watching a couple of YouTube videos I see there appears to be an edit button at the bottom of the bar on those notes which doesn't appear on mine.

Am I being really dense on not being able to see how to access this button?
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
the edit button only appears when you have too many apps for that bar.

Samsung have made a list of what apps can be used in this mode, maps is not one of them.

A hack is being worked on to allow all apps to be used in this mode, please see the sticky thread.
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
It was because I saw maps on the list of apps in that thread that I was trying to add it. Never mind, just a minor thing. I'm just curious that, if the edit button only appears when there are too many apps on the multi-tasking bar, how do you actually add or remove apps when it isn't there? Or do apps that can be use this facility (on unrooted phones) automatically add themselves there?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Note II General] debernardis:
I have maps in my multitasking bar!

From the.start. LIJ1 Italian.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
ah actually good point, maps is one of the apps.

Are you sure you have maps installed?
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
Yep, have maps installed.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
Maps should then default to being one of the items in the side-bar
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
Yes the maps is there,and also it looks like there are omly 12 applications supported as of yet,you can remove or move them back when you hit the Edit button and drag any of them to the right lane or back to the left.
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
Must be a glitch on my phone then. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the maps app to see if it would make a difference but no luck. Any ideas gratefully received.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
have you tried turning it off and on again? (no joke)
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
If the reboot doesn't fix it can you post us a picture of your sidebar?

to take a screenshot take the spen out, press the spen button and tap and hold the middle of the screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
Yes, tried that. It's about all I know how to do!
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
Hopefully here are 2 screenshots showing the entire multi-tasking bar.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
for starters try the app "live score addicts" for football results, its the best I have come across in 3 years with android.

back on-topic...

maps definitely is not there, weird.

I take it you have not modified the firmware at all? on a completely stock rom?

Maps is installed as a /system/ app you see, and it is that specific package name that is allowed for multi-tasking, if for some reason you don't have it installed as a /system/ app there is a slim chance its under a slightly different package name and multi-view just won't see it.

Edit:

can you post me a screenshot of the page displayed when you go *#1234# in the dialer.
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
Here you go.
[Galaxy Note II General] cabessius:
Maps is here, and *#1234# results
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
Interesting Lofty, your actually on quite old firmware (well older than most of us with split-screen ability).

Where did you get the phone?
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
Vodafone upgrade. Maybe it has something to do with all the crap they stick on the phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
It would be very easy, if you wanted, to unbrand that device and put the latest UK unbranded firmware on it but at the risk of voiding your warranty (although tbh it shouldn't).

If you are interested in this just PM me and I will give you the simple instructions.
[Galaxy Note II General] daz_2000:
Have we found a way yet?
[Galaxy Note II General] loftus1961:
Well I asked about this on a Vodafone forum and, so far, the only response I have recieved is from someone whose phone has the same set-up as mine. Makes me think this is a consqeuence of Vodafone messing around with the firmware.

Hey,

Last time i was looking for a solution to my problem with galaxy note contrast, but i found on internet other videos and i see all notes has this same problem with too low video contrast and too high brightness - videos and photos has no details, but I set contrast in VCL Player and here are the effects

i48.tinypic.com/307t8ab.png

I cannot send links, so i didn't attach thumbnail. New settings in video incerase video quality - on normal size videos effects are much more apparent than on this picture. So you can try at home :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 7esain:
so, you didn't say how can we increase photos/video quality?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] temp333:
Directly on galaxy note it's not possible - you can improve video quality during watching video on computer/tv. In VLC Player click Tools->Effects and filters and adjust contrast and gamma. All videos from Galaxy note looks much better on this settings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
So a few days ago I realized I just can't use JB as a daily driver. I *love* 4.x and am a big fan of almost every change introduced, so I've been using ICS and later JB builds as soon as builds were available (thanks, devs!). But on the DZ it just ain't cutting it. I haven't had a single day without freezes, spontaneous reboots, unbearable slowdowns, graphic glitches etc.

Well I'm back to ILWT CM7, which I haven't used for about 11 months. I've frozen almost every stock app, and have found a usable Holo-style replacement for almost all of them, except for the Browser and the hideous pre-ICS Calendar (any suggestions?). Also every 3rd party SMS app is so bloated.

So far, what I miss:

- I really miss pulling down the status bar in the lockscreen! But that requires a 3rd-party lockscreen replacement which is a huge PITA. Also no 4.x unified lockscreen music controls.

- 4.x Rich Notifications. I added music controls in the CM7 notification power widget, but it's a pretty crappy solution (reminds me of iOS)

- JB makes scrolling in apps (among other things) smoother, and some things were considerably more "fluid". JB wasn't *that* smooth anyhow, at least on the DZ.

- 2.x interface is hideous, "fixed" with ICS Mixer theme, Holo-styled apps and a font change.

- Overall UI polish degradations and papercuts, like the power menu, the loss of holo action bar and the ugly old icons of app menu options.

- Some newer apps don't support 2.x which sucks.

- Tons of 4.x improvements I didn't mention. ICS and JB are such vast improvements from GB. JB is so much more consistent, and it sucks that htc are assholes and dropped support for DZ and DHD.

What's better:

- Much more stable.

- Faster!

- Can actually multitask now because there's no need for the OS to constantly kill things in the background. lol at Titanium constantly getting killed in the background on JB.

- Better battery life.

- The proper drivers mean some apps work here but not in 4.x. For example, any app that uses the phone as a webcam.

So anyone else back on Gingerbread and can share their experience?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Most of the time im running a gingerbread rom. Never get the freezes you are talking about on any 4.x rom in 6 months or so, are you sure you had all partitions in ext4?

I do agree battery life is much lower than in 2.3.x and thats one of the main reasons i tend to stick with them. The ui is much better with 4.x but id rather have an ugly ui then a phone that isnt 100%

Overall ics and somewhat jb has been proven to be running almost perfect on the vision and right now im on an ics (a sense rom which i usualy hate!) But there are just too many things dragging me back to gingerbread, battery life being the biggest issue as im a heavy user
[G2 and Desire Z General] johnyeah:
I have to say the battery life on the newest Andromadous JB test builds are amazing and much better than GB. I even have the CPU governor set the minimum to 800 MHz with maximum to 1500 Mhz and I can still run a full day without recharging (I do quite a bit of web browsing on my G2 and occasional calls).
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Possibly between some gb roms it is better but the best battery life that i consistantly get is with elitemodcm7 and ilwtcm7, with heavy use i can get through a full day 18+ hours every time. If i use a little less on some of the ics roms i can get close but not always (elitemod cm9 kernel with mimicry seems to be the best battery life) i poor life on old jb test builds that slowy got a little better, have tried a build since around 90 something but im sure ill test again soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] johnyeah:
Yeah, definitely try the new test builds, I was really amazed at the big difference in battery life in the newest builds.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
euhh, its not beacause of your DZ.

- On the galaxy sII, MOST of the ICS and JB roms are not smooth at all. Lot of crashes , etc. Even on the official update.

- on galaxy note, same thing. Looks like stock JB run better anyway, good thing.

- on nexus S it is the worst since the last JB update.

- on desire ( one of the most supported device) , lot of crashes with ICS.

- And I dont tell you about the milestone (very old device)...

^^^

All the phones mentionned above, are running GB right now.

They not all mine, most of them are my friends phone, they ask me to root it to try new roms. All of them complaining about ICS/JB stability.

I didnt try the big ass phones like the sIII, but they are so powerfull that you can't feel any slowdown.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
Thanks for that info, overdose. I've been wondering how other phones with more dev support were handling JB. Here's hoping with the new Nexus phones soon we can finally have a device that handles stock Android decently.

I've ran into an old CM7 bug with the Lense lockscreen... basically what happens is that, for some reason, the software thinks pulling down the Lense should launch a custom app instead of unlocking the device. Since I didn't have any custom app defined, pulling down does nothing and there is no way to unlock the device :rolleyes:

So I have to fix it with adb which is pretty pathetic. Ironically I'm typing this from a restored Jelly Bean ROM.

edit: I got it fixed, and in the process dropped my phone and severely cracked the screen. Hahaha. Oh well DZ we had a good run.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
DZ screen are cheap.

I have 2 in stock just in case, with the HTC logo. I paid them 30 $ ea. a year ago .
[G2 and Desire Z General] 350Rocket:
I don't have a desire z but a nexus one and did have 2 regular desires before (my ex gf had ICS spazedog ROM - working pretty good) now I'm running spazedog jellybean rom on the n1 and its smooth than cm was maybe a bit slower to open apps but no real lag or freeze or reboots after a couple weeks. Only problem is no video camera and had to install an app from play store to take pictures without a soft reboot and still the pictures don't look great. That and can't play YouTube videos in app or browser or its reboots. Other than that its pretty reliable and the desire z should be a slightly better phone. Maybe something else causing the issues?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
@createpassword...

Everyone use their phone differently, I agree with much of what you are saying but I highly disagree with bettery battery life on 4.x compared with 2.x, no matter how much you tweak or change things the best roms (for battery life) on 4.x have never been able to compete with the best 2.x in that regard. I will say that the improvment have been incredible over the past 6 months or so, but I'm a heavy user, and maybe its the way I use my phone that runs the battery fast but I easily can get a day with 2.x (about 6hours screen on) and I'm always struggling even with the best 4.x to do the same, (max maybe 4~4.5hrs screen up)

But again, we all use our phones differently. Right now I'm on an ics Rom, about 6hours up, 56% left of battery with just under 2hrs screen on. Granted this is not the best ics rom for battery life but let's I was using say mimicry or elitemod ics, I would be @ maybe 65 @ most, with certain 2.x is be well over 70 right now
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Fair enough, but like I said we all use phones differently, and I will disagree that screen on time is meaningless being the most power is being used when screen is on. I'm sure I could have my phone on, with screen off, put it in airplane mode and let it sit for 3days to see it still has 30% (or whatever) juice left, no matter the os. But that dosent matter to me as I want my phone to last when I'm using it

Listen, you may get the best life out of ics or jb on your phone, I get better life on 2.x, I'm not saying these newer roms are inferior, I'm saying that one of the most important features is battery life to me and I have always gotten the best life in older operating systems. Having said that, I'm a flashaholic and I try nearly every Rom available for any phone I have. Mimicry is amazing, fast, stable, and pretty good battery life. If I absolutely need to be sure I have power left by the end of the day I'm not running mimicry (im a heavy user and the ways I use my phone it just isn't going to happen) and don't say I have bad apps with memory leaks and wake locks because I've been around long enough to know to test for all this. I don't use Many different apps and the ones I do use I know are good (and the same ones I use not matter the os)

Let's just agree you have different experiences with your phone as I have with mine, I'm not steering anyone away from using

Ics or jb, and ill continue to use thenm too. But I (not you) get bettery life with 2.x
[G2 and Desire Z General] johnyeah:
Obviously battery life varies with the way you use your phone. If you're ever interested in trying JB again, definitely give the test builds a shot. Remember to do a full wipe though, I assume you do anyways. I was shocked at how much the JB test builds improved battery life and responsiveness compared to the Virtuous G-lite I was using for a while.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
well thats somewhat a relative point. you see when i consistently get (im picking #s here) 24hrs of battery use with 6 of those hours being screen on time with 2.x. then i compare the use of 4.x where i consistently get 18hrs of use with 4hrs screen on.

this compares not only the screen on time but also the overall time the phone lasts between charges. i feel most people comparing batteries understand that this is over a course of time and that the first day they flash a new rom will not give the best overall picture of what the battery consumption level is.

true the most power consumption is happening when the screen is on, but noting the amount of screen on time along with how long the battery lasts (consistently) will give anyone a good idea of whats going on. see if there is a day that i use my phone less, the battery tends to last longer (you get that) noting how long screen on time is gives a general picture of how frequently the phone is used that day.

also comparing what operating systems do in deep sleep is useful, again that hopefully is not the best way in determining battery life as you are lacking realworld use of the phone. yes its important to note, but like i said if i stuck the phone in a sock drawer for three days with the sim pulled and wifi off, i couldnt care much the results because my use of my phone will never be compared to it sitting in a sock drawer for any period of time.

so one of us is not getting the other, or there is some **** comparing going on over battery life testing. either way i say its best not to waste time and electronic ink over this. lets just say your right for the sake of i dont really care.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rizzers:
I've been in somewhat the same boat having gone back to CM7 many times for speed and stability. Mimicry was very nice but Skype would crash in it and it was an app that I always used. Now that Skype has made some major updates, I'm considering either installing Mimicry again or Jelly Baby. The latter is going to be updated soon from what I've been reading so I'll likely wait and try that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shak3800:
Honestly scrolling in cm7 looks laggish to me compared to flinnys don't know why . how is jelly baby compared to flinnys in terms of performance?
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
Just my 2 pence but, frankly, any and every CM9.x/CM10.x rom I've ever tried on my DZ has been laggy/buggy after some time. On the other hand, the AOSP counterparts have ALWAYS been faster in general and didn't slow down, unlike CM. Hell, it was the same even with CM7 (with some exceptions, primarily ILWT CM7). This is obviously logical since CM has more things going on unlike AOSP which is pretty light on the feature side (nothing you can't take care of with a couple of apps, mind you). From my experience, CM9+ roms just don't work on the DZ. Whatever I do, they always end up slowing down to the point where I can't even use the phone. As for battery life...I don't have much to say in particular, it has always been below average whatever rom I was running (again with a few exceptions, like G-Lite).

Just as I said though, just my opinion so don't take my word for it.

I think thw official world wide selling of N7105 is posted to 18th of October. That's why there isnt any offical ROM out there for this model and also because there isnt any custom rom's yet too.

Will installing a different region/model's ROM affect the phone negatively?

Wait!

These of you who think that N7105 rom will work for your SHV-E250s/l/k, you better not try it! I have done that already and lost EFS and imei! So you better don’t, i as well recommend you to make back up, or even 2-3 backups with different soft. + as soon as you make root, download root explorer, and copy entire root to your flash card + back up (It’s a must to have a copy of your EFS folder, if you are planning to flash and even if you don’t!)

The stock, and Multilanguage firmware is not out yet for these series of Phones

By the way here is comparison of all Note II: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomp...3801&id11=3803

And by the way: roms that are at http://www.sammobile.com are not official or factory roms, i took my SHV-E250S to Samsung and took roms downloaded from there, in Samsung they checked them out and said that they are not original roms. Probably made by recover from an existing device, or open source.
