I get better performance and better battery life on FI27 then 2.3.6 GB. Time to move on.. Oh and don't have to tweak anything
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
I clap for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Just switched back to UnNamed for the weekend. When i need to 100% depend on my phone, GB is always there for me and never fails me.

Unforuntely Im a flash addict so i will keep switching roms. But can always depend on good ol' gingerbread

KEEP a Blazer 4.0 backup!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] danasmith2816:
I keep a Blazer 4.1 always ready and load it regularly to update apps then re-backup. By far the most reliable I've had. I'm on venum Fi27 right now. Its the best ICS I've had so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] espac90:
better battery life...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I don't know if anyone is picking up on the trends here. But you will notice people basically stating they either use or in some way shape or form revert back to gb to get things done or perform functions that should be trivial. With that in mind it becomes clearer and clearer that samsungs implementation (not Google) of ics is seriously flawed. I can only pray that jb doesn't turn out like ics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Surprised to see the support for gb. I do live the battery life, but the ui of ics is just too nice.

With that said, is calk's Rom still considered the best gb Rom? I've seen unnamed and phantom mentioned as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
I'm on calks 3.0 and I love this Rom and the battery life.. don't get me wrong, I love ics/jb bells and whistles and the customization but the stability of a gb rom can't be beat until all the bugs are ironed out... but who knows, maybe when ics /jb is really official and there's an officialcustom kernel built, I don't see gb being beat...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rammeister:
On Calkulin GB rom

Only reason still on GB is not sure how to pop up to ICS or Jelly a little confused and looking for a good how to upgrade breakdown tutorial.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sol_671:
I would've stayed on blazer or any gingerbread if YouTube and Songza were usable, no 4G in my area and those apps would just keep loading on 3g. I honestly don't see any difference in battery life with gingerbread and the newer ICS roms, only slight speed difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iUseJuGGZz:
i went to JB/ICS but the download speeds are so much slower for me on them so i stick to GB to tether to my laptop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jordan0314:
Me. just all around more stable and faster to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
I'm running blazer 4.1 because the GB data speeds/ping are better than ICS/JB. I can't stand the touchwiz super-scroll and AOSP ICS/JB still has the 4G bug. Once AOSP fixes the 4G bug I will update. I have never had battery problems on any Rom.

Is there a working Blazer link? It seems like the link in his thread is down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdr1991:
Stuck on gingerbread becauss lg wont release a stupid update. ics. despite the fact they promised but have released the kernel source. Thats the only reason i havent got a different phone. But to be honest. Gingerbread isnt actually that stable on my phone. The keyboard crashes, gps problems, random reboot. Lag. And crap battery life. I prefer ics. Any day. better ui. Though i had an s2 which broke with ics/jb. I prefer the ics as jb doesnt full suppost flash nore will any update above ics due to adobe flash player not being developed for.android.any more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I have 4.1 on my phone pm me and I will try and get it uploaded some where.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Calkulin 2.8.1 EL29 with FI27 modem. 29 modem used to work good, but recently it went to crap. I'm one of the few that the 27 modem works good. My gf's white is newer than mine but same chip set and 29's modem works fine. I put Calkulin 3.0 on hers since she says 2.8.1 doesn't play nice. Maybe it's cause she's got the Facebook app on it. Yeah, blame Facebook for borking a phone... ha ha

My reasons? Smooth, fast, very stable, stock looking and excellent battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arehm:
Caulks GB due to battery life being 40% better than ICS for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Thanks, I found a working link for Phantom. I may try it tonight, but I will say that I'm on stock rooted FI27 right now and I'm getting some real nice battery results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
I'm running Froyo with all if its JIT goodness! I'm getting well over 100 hours battery life, and 10,542 on quadrant! I may go back to cupcake because of how stable it is though, still far too many kinks to be worked out in Froyo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Lol @ cupcake. My Zio launched on cricket with Cupcake and that has to be the worst android experience ever. It was updated to Froyo eventually and it took Kyocera a while to release the source for the kernel. We had to make some noise before they released it.

Then we had Adrynaline or however his name is spelled make us an overclock kernel. A whopping 729Mhz was considered stable for the community. Never saw gingerbread on that phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
Although I haven't tried JB yet, I tried several ICS roms. After each time, I came back to Calkulin's v3.0 GB. It's fast, smooth, all apps work the way they're meant to, and best of all, it has the best battery life for me. With the ICS ones, I've experienced some apps not working, not installing, erratic performance, and fast battery drain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knite75:
Ditto.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
I stick to GB because it just works without np for me plus I know the devs are working hard with JB and such but it havent been fun anymore like it was when I first got this phone on January and there was so much GB roms being worked on. Now I find it boring flashing some of these roms and knowing that theres going to be issues on it so im just sticking on GB till JB source is out or maybe I just need a new phone so I might just get the note 2 in 2 Weeks after I get my bro his gs3 or note2 next week.

Was at Tmobile today checking out the note 2 and man that phone is a beast so I might just be jumping ship soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
calk 3.0 for me

when calkulin stopped updating that ROM it was sad .. I dont have patience t backup and update to a new rom and setup all my apps just to find a bug and have to go back...

the ICS of blazer is good but phantom stopped updating it beyond F18 and I know I27 is much better than that...

I guess I am waiting for the stock JB to come out and see how the battery life on that

I like calk 3.0 GB since I know where everything is and has a good battry and things works.

I miss couple ICS fancyness like the notification area swype away, the updates apps for ICS , thinks look nicer on ICS but the battery life is not up there yet ..

come on samsung give us some JB

the JB J10 release was promising, showing there is progress, but nothing in it works so disappointing.. perhaps couple more months..

I would upgrade to Galaxy s3 but I dont want to lose Wimax when I the LTE network is still not there.. it is sad we are losing all the good developers to S3 when sprint LTE network is not ready for the phone yet.. I guess Galaxy S4 will be mu upgrade next year
[LG Optimus 4X HD] wkpark:
This is the Optimus 4x bootloader / bct / flash.cfg dump from kdz

http://cafe.naver.com/androidhacker/487 (in Korean)

kdz file can be extracted with LGExtract.exe

The extracted *.dz file is very similar with the old style dz file.

So I can extract it manually (please see the above link)

the old style dz file format: http://www.frenchcoder.com/dzextract-lg-dz-file-format-and-extract-tool-lg-ks20/

Im not sure It is worth for Optimus 4x

(I don't have Optimus 4x and I can't test it)

but you can try the following recent nvflash crack~

http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/

happy hacking~

Changes

●dzextract script added

nice, someone is testing it? cause i don't have a linux (downloading now, lol)

@down nah, f*ck.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
so now we just need the secret SBK key, which is somewhere in the kdz or in the upgrade modem firmware as well.

otherwise those files are worthless, since you cannot boot without a SBK.

and that is IF you get the sbk extracted and they got the device open and you got the driver in place.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
the bootloader do seem to contain "unlock" functionality, and it does also seem to support blob files , so one of the partitions should be able to contain a flashable blob like on prime. but still without unlocking mechanism, those blob's need signing too.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] wkpark:
ok Ive just added my dzextact script

Sorry for my awfull english.
[Microsoft Surface] wrexus:
I don't see many posts about remote desktop but I've found that using my Surface RT + remote desktop to connect to my Windows 8 Pro computer at home is an amazing way to work. The touchscreen even works to navigate the remote computer.

And, since the micro hdmi on the surface supports 1080p, I can connect to a full size screen.
[Microsoft Surface] brummiesteven:
Does this actually work fine then? It's what I plan on doing tbh, I have a media centre PC under my TV that I want to install Windows 8 Pro on and use Remote Desktop.
[Microsoft Surface] wahwka:
it works very well. I do prefer the classic RDP client over the new RT one though because of easier touch gestures.
[Microsoft Surface] moosic:
The screen on the htpc will lock when you rdp in. If you want to see the screen on the tv and your surface you'll have to use remote assistance.
[Microsoft Surface] brummiesteven:
Doesn't bother me too much... although it'd be good to have both, I just want tot have the option there to run Intel apps *if* I ever had the need.
[Microsoft Surface] Caillin:
Is it possible to use the older RDP client and enable monitor spanning to remote connect using the tablets screen as well as a 1080p monitor?
[Microsoft Surface] DubiousPig:
For the sake of argument, could you use the remote desktop to use image editing software such as Photoshop through the Surface? Obviously, the screen is probably way too small in terms of both physical size and resolution to really be of much use but for less complex editing it would be awesome...
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Absolutely. Bear in mind that the Surface RT doesn't have a stylus digitizer, so you'd be stuck with capacitive touch or mouse+keyboard for input (although now that I think about it, you can probably use a Wacom USB tablet with the Surface's USB port...) but in general, yes you could do this. I already have Remote Desktop pinned to my Surface's taskbar (along with Powershell, which also allows a different kind of remote access).
[Microsoft Surface] DubiousPig:
That is good to hear! My dilemma has been that I want a portable device so that I'm not glued to my desk for the majority of the day but the major obstacle has been finding a tablet that can actually do what my computer does. Remote Desktop sounds like an answer.
[Microsoft Surface] tehsprayer:
What would the frame rate be stable enough to remote my computer and remote desktop from work with no lag?

For example, internet browsing on chrome or watching a youtube video through remote desktop.
[Microsoft Surface] itzsnookums:
Or you can download google chrome and the app for remote desktop for chrome....Works pretty good for me.....should work fine for surface....or RT...
[Microsoft Surface] UBNAS81:
You should search the forum - there is a thread on Remote Desktop, and it explains how to use Remote Apps, which imho, is the best way to utilize x86 apps on your surface RT...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1977545&highlight=remote+apps

I get little to no lag running Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc. For the few times that I actually need to run an x86, this is the way to go. Do not expect to stream movies, or music from your desktop - although, I guess it depends on your connection - I have my home laptop connected to Linksys G router (im sure if I upgraded to N, it might be faster).
[Microsoft Surface] jonsnowboard:
I found an interesting company (Mikogo) who have launched a cloud based Windows 8 desktop (which is actually Windows Server 2012). This doesn't have a windows 8 app but runs through HTML. In theory this would be great as it says you can install your own apps so is less restrictive than Cloudon and Onlive Desktop if you've used those on other platforms.

I requested an account and could then access a desktop via HTML5 using IE on my Windows 8 PC. However it doesn't work on my Surface RT browser (Metro or desktop) as the mouse cursor is not captured for some reason (I've tried via the touchpad and a mouse via USB). Note that even on a PC the performance is slow, although this is a beta.

If anyone wants to try this out I'm curious why it doesn't work in the RT IE10 browser but it does on the desktop. I did feed this back to Mikogo but they don't have an RT device to use (they suggested I try another browser on RT :rolleyes:)
[Microsoft Surface] pc4ever1:
VNC has already been ported. Does the job, can be controlled by either device PC or RT.
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
title shows the way it is...i've had it UP TO HERE with Boot manager.

I love the HTC Sense 4.1 camera on Newts HTC One XxX ROM but I dont like the bloaty sense framework that It has...right now i'm running AOKP 1.6 Linaro because it's fast and has no sense. unfortunately, I can't have both..and I found out that an app can "dual boot" your phone into 2 separate ROMS so that you can enjoy both. However i've been having NOTHING but PROBLEMS with boot manager. What started off as a simple idea has become a curse spewing nightmare

I'm s-Off and running Snuzzo's kernel from AOKP 1.6

1. I've searched the forums and done everything that other people have said

2. I'm using the Lite Version of Boot Manager since I only need one slot.

3. I have errors with "Error building new boot.img"

4. Disabled SU Logging and even wiped and tried SuperSU instead! (with logging disabled of course)

5. tried to install slot 1 via Zip file AND NANDROID BACKUP. Still having issues!

6. When installs are successful with no errors, when rebooting into the SDCARD Rom it just hangs at the HTC splash screen. mocking me.

7. Tried installing from external and internal storage..same problems...and i'm having a flip flop issue as well in regards to that..**

I'm at my wits end and am about to scrap this whole dual boot idea

**What I will say is that file explorer apps show my SD card as Internal Storage. and the internal storage shows my SDcard files...dafuq?! maybe SD card format?? that's for another forum question though...

If anyone can help me get this to work..I'll thank you and be sure to buy the app. But as for now...I'm glad I didn't spend my damn money!
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
From what ive heard the app has been abandoned by the developers. I wanted to dual boot too but I got the same error with the error building new boot.img as well so i quit trying. :( btw are you s-off? the app requires s-off so it can flash the other boot.img of the Sd roms.
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
yes..I'm S-Off and recently in April of this year the developer made an update to support the Rezound. So even if the app has been abandoned for future devices....it supports the Rezound...and I've looked in the forums and people HAVE got it working on the Rezound. Pisses me off that It's not working for me
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Same with me it was part of the reason i went to s-off. Hopefully sometime in the future the dev of the app can update it to fix the bugs.
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
what about the other people that have got it working???...how come they didn't have to quit?

Maybe the AOKP ROM i'm using is bad (since the SD CARD and INTERNAL MEMORY labels are switched and it possibly is confusing the boot partition)...perhaps I should try installing the AOKP Rom on sense
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Took me a few tries but I did this :

Use ext4

Use internal sd

Force screen on

Install from nandroid

For me it's actually easier to just restore nandroids if u wanna jump from one rom to another..
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Squirrel is right ot much easier to just make a nandroid and bounce back and forth..
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
In AOKP the labels are switched..so use the bullet option "external SD" because the internal SD is labeled as the external.

INTERESTING: when I set boot manager to install to internal (i have to select "external) it STILL installs it to the sdcard but in a folder that says sdcard/sd-ext.

NOT to the actual internal memory. I will move that folder to the real internal memory when the install finishes and see if it will work. If not. I'm almost POSITIVE that the switched Internal Memory and SD card labels in AOKP are to blame...and it that's not the problem. boot manager can f$#k itself.

Edit: I fuking quit. I did everything and the install worked from a sense ROM.but it past the splash screen and hung at a black screen.

I'm such a whore for screencast and that 4.1 Sense camera..i'll stay with One xXx for a while (even though sense ROMS are against my grain)
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Boot manager hasn't worked properly with aosp since the mount points were fixed in aosp. It's the way it differs from sense. Using emmc as internal unlike sense which It's mounted as sd card. You can use it to switch between sense roms all you want to but not aosp

im not sure if this is one of the problems but i noticed when i tried to use it earlier that it asked if i was on the newest hboot (2.21) or an older one but we are actually on 2.27 so that could be messing with things
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I used to use Boot Manager with 2.25 with no issues, and there isn't much difference between 2.25 and 2.27.
