[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Waifai:
Hi there! just a quick question but need a really detail and good answer here. I'm currently using a Xperia X8 which i bought a year ago. getting cranky now so I decided to buy a new SONY phone. I don't see any goodness in Samsung neither in Nokia due to the Windows OS so don't bother suggesting that. Just wanna know which phone should I get, Xperia SL or Xperia T? i love photography and both seem to provide almost what I need. Mind informing the pros and cons of getting both? and also I've used my friend's Xperia S for an hour and i used the XLOUD app, maxed the volume and played a song. It seems like my X8 have a better quality of sound compared to the S. fyi, its upgraded to ICS, he bought it recently, on 16th of October... the sound seems..pitchy and not really up to the "standard" i was looking forward to. So please help people cause in my hometown, SONY seems like an alien brand...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
quick answer. get the T. its the more actual and more powerful device ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] GuestK00328:
Yes, I too would recommend the T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ~iPod~nano~:
+1 For Xperia T

Dual Core Snapdragon S4 Krait, extremely fast,

Sometimes faster than SGS3 or One X

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickoicko:
So here's the gist. Recently used the latest build of Siyah Kernel and UltimaROM and I used the flashable zips of Siyah: Extreme performance tweaks and extreme performance governor, so in short im sitting on 1.7 ghz of power. Now I don't know if this is in connection of anything, but every time I update viber contacts: 1st there's no update; I don't know why although I know a lot of my friends use viber. 2nd after getting out of the add accounts menu, my screen freezes on settings until I press lock button and it becomes normal again. Anyone who can enlighten me on this matter? thanks!

As I have updated from a SSGS1 to a SXS, I have given my old SSGS1 to my sister.

It is currently running on Darky's ROM (GB).

I wish to upgrade it to ICS.

Basically, what is the most stable ICS custom ROM around?

I see that there are ALOT of ROM's and I do not know which one to pick.

And can you please send me the link to it and instructions to upgrading from my current ROM to that.

I really do apologize for my noobiness as I have not touched the forums in AGES and things have changed.

Thanks you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharlem39:
i also used to be on darky rom (GB). I think you should just skip ICS all together and go straight for Jelly bean ROMS. I haven't heard much good news about ICS and there's so many beautifully stable and smooth roms for JB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lythanhlong:
Ahhh okay. If that's the case thencan you link me to some stable JB ROM's?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC=Hero:

If you're rooted, Google for Market Enabler. With that you can set your phone to appear to the Play Store that it's in any country you wish.

So allowing someone access to an app despite it not being available in their country wouldn’t be classified as warez?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
If it's free, if you can download the apk and if it doesn't have any specific licence restriction (which it won't if it's freely available on the Play Store), then it's all good.

As the title suggests, I want to change the icons on cm10 but without using a different launcher. I use Desktop Visualizer but it doesnt change the icon anywhere other than the homescreen.

I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to theme. I actually just want to add my own icons into the apk while keeping the stock theme.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EM|NEM:
Anyone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
I think you'll have to decompile, edit, and recompile all your apks. I'm certainly no expert, but I don't think there's an easy way to change all your icons.

You could use MIUI, but I don't think you'd like changing your ROM, if you're unwilling to change launchers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EM|NEM:
I'd rather change my launcher if thats the case

guess you cant have everything in life after all :P

Yes i tried that too. same problem. with desktop visualizer you can hide the icon label and have it blown up so its a better option imo

i Want a Stable Rom for my lg optimus black which has everything working in it WiFi, calls, video calls, camera and so on

is there a ROM which looks good is really stable and works everything perfectly ??:confused:

dose there any stable cynogenmod with all working including video call and camera ??:confused:

[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
All GB based roms except cm7. Zeus, Supressed, Nova, Marvel etc.
[LG Optimus Black] SaschaKH:
IMHO Zeus 6.4 is the most stable there is. Zeus 7... versions seem to be OK for some ppl but I had some problems with it. Zeus 6.4 is much more stable then stock ROM.
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
May I know why are you laughing? Thread should be marked as solved and closed.
[LG Optimus Black] t0g3:
Why you said he is laughing? I dont see he is laughing? :confuse:
[LG Optimus Black] SaschaKH:
May I know what is wrong with my answer?

He asked a question I gave a answer. OK you seem to be offended by my answer but I have absolutly no clue why.
[LG Optimus Black] wessyh0:
Except? You mean 'like'
[LG Optimus Black] SaschaKH:
I think not, as I understood it he wanted to say all stock bassed ROMs (Zeus, Marvel and Supressed are all based on LGEs 2.3.4 and I think Nova is based on LGEs 2.2.2) but not CyanogenMod 7 that is a completly indedendend development based on AOSP. But I could be wrong as there seems to be some missunderstanding between me and pkb_always4u, even if I did not really have a clue why.

I must confess I have sometimes problems here to understand what ppl mean, maybe that's because english is not my mother tongue and so I have problems to understand some comments that are only bassed on english. ;)

With that I don't mean pkb_always4u, his english looks good to me.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
SaschaKH I understood just like you. Don't worry about your english. :) I did not understand where you could be misunderstood (laughing where ?) but I guess that OP's problem is solved. If I may say something, it is that the snapshot CM10 is very stable in the way that I don't have any trouble with it (the only thing driving me crazy is the backlight always coming back to full brightness after unlocking it eheh).
[General Questions and Answers] ssjenkins:
Hi All .

I tried to post this in the X8 section but I don't have enough posts . I have an X8 which previously has GingerDX V23 on it . Today I decided to upgrade to the laters (V29) version . Firstly I entered Xrecovery and made a backup . I then download the V29.zip file to my SD card . Back into Xrecovery . I then did a "Factory Reset" followed by a "Wipe Cache Partition" . I'm thinking I shouldn't have done either one of both of these ?

Anyway , I then went into "Install Custom zip" and selected my new file . After about 10 seconds it said that it had installed (seems very quick ?) . I then rebooted . Got the SOny Ericsson logo and it sat there for 30 minutes , and nothing . I decided to try it again so I powered off and tried to reenter Xrecovery by hitting the back button several times as the logo appears . Nothing . Now I'm stuck in limbo . Can't get into Xrecovery to try again or load my backup .

I'd appreciate any help .

i got some problems with cm9.1 stable on i9100g and i hope you can help me...

#1 after turning touchkey backlights off in advanced settings(process called com.cyanogemod.settings), it stays off but after rebooting its on again. i searched but never found a solution. does anyone know how to permanently turn them off or how i should write in an init.t script to turn them off automatically on boot?

the .disable_touchkey in /data does nothing. if i create it manually or edit it with 0/1 nothing changes after saving.

#2 i got horsepower kernel for unvervolting and the app romtoolbox pro and when i set the voltage for 150mhz down to 750 i sense no difference(i think it should lag more..?) and after reboot it shows the old voltage table again...

#3 in contacts id like to have NO contact pictures as i'll never use them nor small nor big. same goes for phone.apk and in/out going calls. i want NO dummy picture. i just want it to be pure black in the background with the calling number and/or name without using apps.

#4 i changed some settings in system folders(which im aware of what they do) and changed permissions. after reboot.. guess? the permissions are set to the old settings...

#5 how can i turn off the proximity sensor(turning screen black when something comes 8cm or less to the phone while calling)??? i found one tip in the internet. someone wrote if i changed the letters randomly of every "proximity" which is written in a sensors file in the root, it turns off. i did that and it was off!!!! but so was the camera function... so after replacing it with the original file it worked again...

sometimes i miss things from gb... the liteweight contacts and phone apk where i could hide my girls numbers in groups.. the sliding function for calling or text sending... the always working blacklist...

cm9/ics is better but some funstions are worse than gb

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
Sorry if this seems dumb. I'm mildly noobish and there are certain aspects of ROMs I may not understand yet but could we not just decompile the stock Asus JB update (non-ota) and include SU+Busybox+other root files and when it gets flashed the ROM will have root? If not can we flash them via recovery somehow without having an unlocked bootloader?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
When you remake the OS it is no longer signed by the proper certificate that the bootloader expects and it will not load it, you get dead andy.

Adding in case you have a possible followup:

The Certificate is held by ASUS and is a secret. Not something you can really reverse engineer or derive on your own. At least not in the amount of time you would hold on to your device anyway. So you could in fact get your own cert and sign the OS installer but it would not be the correct certificate and the bootloader would reject it. Unlocking the bootloader essentirally removes the certificate requirement thus allowing anything to be flashed to the device.

While I can see ASUS voiding the OS warranty, it should be conditional. If you send it in for OS troubles then you pay, if the screen craps out it should still be covered but I guess if you want to get out of the whole warranty, why not eh?!
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Hi all, I have had the WiFi issue since day one, and can not be bothered to send my phone for repair, I probably should but that means being without the beats for a couple of weeks, which is not good at all as it is vital for work and home life for me.

I have a question, I know I have the WiFi issue, but my question is this, will it deteriate over time? and become much worse. And if so can it deteriate to the point where the WiFi will not function at all?

I ask this because I am now ready to root my HOX, but I know rooting it loses warranty, and therefor I loose the chance of it being repaired altogether, but if it doesn't get worse or break over time, then Ima root.

What would your suggestion be? Send it for repair and then root, root it anyway or any other suggestions?

Thanks !
[HTC One X] tomascus:
I would get it repaired first. Personally I only found out that I had the WiFi problem after I unlocked my boot loader and voided my warranty and it can be a pain in the arse sometimes when you lose signal. So far I haven't experienced any deterioration of WiFi signals, always has been bad.

[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Thanks for your reply, I may sent it off soon then, its just being without it.

Are you telling me that it does get worse over time, and therefore may break completely ?
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Could you explain your WiFi issue in more detail? You only said WiFi issue.. >.<
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
The well known WiFi issue that most HOX's have, where you lose signal when your hand is over the antenna (only sometimes its not too extreme in my case) and I've never done the squeeze test properly, but my signal is always fine, it just drops connection if I hold it in the wrong place.

Surely you know the WiFi issue (dont mean to be nasty)
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
My HOX came back from screen repair with the wifi fault which it didn't have before. Don't want to send it away again so I'm going to try the tinfoil fix in the next few days, seems easy enough.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Mind dropping me a PM when you've done it and let me know how you get on?

And thats exactly why I don't want to send mine, I've seen it before and its happened first hand. You send it for one fault, they fix that but send it back with another.

i tried everything: starting in recovery mode, removing the SIM card and memory, nothing changed.

note:

- last night i charged the phone with my Note I charger.

- when i woke up i found the LED is lighting green.
