[HTC One X] RADLOUNI:
Hi Guys

i own an HTC One X, and i could not be happier with it, but i was contemplating buying the padfone 2.

Sorry this might be the wrong section but there is no section for the padfone 2 at xda forum yet

the padfone 2 is up for grabs at ebay, but this device is for the Taiwanese market and comes with taiwanese manual

so my question is, if anyone has bought Taiwanese Asus devices before, does the device come with deep taiwanese localisations, or only the ability to chose taiwanese in the android language settings menu

i am trying to know whether setting the language to english will be enough, or will i be stuck with taiwanese software/localisations

also does anyone have experience in changing roms/CIDs for asus phones. can i change CID, will i be able to flash RUUs from a different region ? or maybe asus does not have the concpet of CIDs, you just unlock the bootloader and flash any rom you want ? thanks
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup wrong section
[HTC One X] howster:
Best place for you're questions would be on the Padphone forums, not on the one x forums.
[HTC One X] schriss:
I won't help you, but I just did that. Selling HTC One X and Padfone 2 is already on the way to me. HTC One X was great, I got it on preorder so quite some time ago and got bored.

Also not sure if Padfone 2 has any XDA forum section setup yet, I can't seem to find it.

[Bravo General] marcelarr:
Hi All, so its been 10 months almost since I purchased by Bravo, and am thinking to upgrading to a Defy, however... in GSM Arena, it is listed that the bravo has a 2gb Rom versus the 1gb for the Defy. Is this true? I was not able to find anything on Motorola.com to confirm this.

Would you recommend switching to a Defy, if so which version (+, xt)?
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
I say keep your bravo. There's a good enough community here behind it with good ROMs to choose from. You can get Miui, CM7, CM9, CM10, and I think bandroidx's custom rom is still here (obsolete, but if you like MotoBlur, go for it).

They DEFY (+, xt) and the BRAVO have the same amount of RAM (~512mb) and internal storage space (2gb). However, the DEFY has Corning Gorilla Glass, which is super scratch resistant and tough, and prevents dust according to GSMarena. The DEFY also has a 4th capacitive button, the search button (which isn't really necessary in my opinion).

There might be other interface differences but I've never played with a DEFY so I don't know. I do know that the Bravo is a really good phone and that this Bravo community is amazing. We could have a really slow, BLUR using, battery draining Bravo, but instead we can have a lightning fast one with all the features of the latest smartphones (ex: most phones with android 4.1.1).

That's my opinion. Good luck with your decision!:)
[Bravo General] marcelarr:
Thanks for the input. I absolutley ADORE my bravo... I currently have Quarxs 4.0 Installed and am happy with it. The only think I dislike about it is the camera... kinda wish it had flash and was 5mpx... that was the major reason for changing.
[Bravo General] marcelarr:
Thought I should mention that according to the Corning web site our Bravo also has gorilla glass! Look!
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
I did not know that. Thanks! :) I agree on the better camera with flash though. If I took more pictures I would pick defy over bravo.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I'd just stick with the Bravo unless you find a cheap Defy. There aren't that many differences between the Defy and the Bravo -- Defy is waterproof\dustproof, has a better camera with flash, search button, official moto GB kernel, and all other differences are in the CG levels and partition signatures, etc. Now that we have custom kernels the differences will soon become just the search button and camera. I'll even go so far as to say that our roms will be interchangeable without porting once Quarx gets the custom kernel fine tuned with some Bravo support. As it is, the only reason we have to "port" the Defy roms is to add in our camera driver -- every other code for the most part is shared between the two phones, or actually, shared by the Moto Omap 3630 devices since they use the Defy team's code as well.

Ya gotta love our devs working their butts off to get us working CM7\9\10\11?? roms on the most locked down devices on the market and doing a better job at it than devs on fully unlocked phones. They're awesome. :good:

On another note, almost done with a new 7 port. I've added a lot of tweaks and mods and I'm adding the final touches to it today. I'm having a bit of hell trying to get the ICS framework animations to work on GB, once that's done, I should be done. I really don't care for the flip animations that the CM.com Defy 10\28 rom has and I plan to use the 7 port until PA is back in business. I'm going for a CM7 rom that looks like CM9\10, inverted gapps (almost all of them), tons of init scripts, tweaked for speed & battery life, and use the latest CM10 bootmenu so this 7 can be used a stable base to test 10 roms with. I'm gonna release the rom as a nandroid backup since I'm doing a few tweaks that require either sqlite3 database init scripts (a pita) or instructions on what settings to change to what to have the full experience I'm trying to provide.

I'll be including Holo Launcher (I own the Pro version :p) so if you don't like it then install something else, though I recommend Holo Pro since its a very good, fast, and stable launcher on both GB and ICS\JB roms. Holo works better than Trebuchet on PA. Also including MiFileExplorer instead of File Manager (it sucks), Sonny's ICS theme with the additional framework\metamorph addons (no more black on black notification text), SuperSu instead of Superuser (with the updated su binary), gapps (most are inverted) preinstalled, ICS framework animations, and more. :)

Anyone have any suggestions as to what they want in a CM7 rom??? You'll have about 6 hours from the time of this post to let me know :silly:.

/I could start up a new cm7 thread for most of this post, but I'll just hijack one of my older cm7 threads when I release the rom, until then I'll just post crap in random places.
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
What do you think about Pimp My Rom?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908269

I've been using it without any issues and it has various init.d scripts and tons of other tweaks along with it. It's worked with each CM rom I've used, so I'm wondering if that will save you some work, rather than have you write all the scripts yourself.

That's my two cents. Good luck and thanks! You never fail to impress us! :)
[Bravo General] marcelarr:
Thanks!

Thanks for your sharing your point of veiw... I am looking for a cheap Defy... but think I will keep my Bravo also!!

Thanks for all your hard work on CM7!
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Well, now that I have a Defy....Defy is better. Get it, you won't be disappointed. My comparison -- Defy feels more durable while holding it, Torch is awesome, the waterproof\dustproof covers (usb, headphone, battery cover) are annoying but worth it. My only issue is really a non issue -- I have to add in the correct battd (I recieved a greenlens Defy, using my Bravo's battery which is the same as 525 Defy and JB 2nd-boot uses 526 Defy+ battd). I'll end up getting a 526 battery, although our BF5X batteries can be picked up for $4 (~$6 after shipping).

Bravo is well worth keeping -- useful for testing roms, backup phone, etc. I'd never get rid of my Bravo, its too good of a phone.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Good to know you own a Defy now, I think you will improve more your knowledges about Android, as we all know Defy has a more activity which is good to learn more following the steps of Quarx.

Hope you still work with us and our lovely bravo.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I plan on it :), but CM10 on the Bravo is gonna take a back seat for the moment. I've put 2+ weeks into getting it to function properly and haven't made any headway on it....I gotta get to updating PA since its starting to fall way behind. As is, the only way I can improve my Android knowledge is to get a uart board (for kernel debugging) and some books on C and Java. Merging code is one thing, writing it is a whole different story.

//Plus I only have one battery for two phones....Need to get another battery for my Bravo. Also, here's a pic of my Bravo so you all know what I've been working with for the past 6 months.

In the area of kernel development the best options at present I think at are-

2.the UART setup by Hetalk,Adi_pat.

Unfortunately the threads "discussing" this issue have rapidly devolved into free-for-all attack zones, and yes, we are going to have to close them down when they reach that point.

We understand it isn't everyone doing it, but it only takes one drive-by comment to trigger it and then there are nasty replies, and hateful replies to the nasty replies.

I am deeply unhappy about the phone getting lost and I don't even own this device. I tried very hard to bring some comity to this forum since members here were very unhappy when I got here about the kernel dev issues. What was happening at that point was that everyone was yelling past each other and no one was listening. Finally after several discussion threads everything seemed to be moving in the right direction, and then this happens. Honestly, if I had the money, I would buy another phone and give it to you guys just to get everything back to the way it was, which wasn't great, but was at least tranquil.

Now I am going to close this thread as well. If you have any issues with wardfan220 or myself, please feel free to post on this thread: Moderators to assist or you can PM us. We won't bite and we won't infract you simply for having a different opinion if it is expressed civilly and politely.

As far as the phone, I am waiting for the next word from hillbeast before doing anything further. I am still hopeful he can find it. I haven't read that he is giving up yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
This thread pertains to stock images, NOT nandroid.

Hey guys,

I've been searching all day and it's killing me. I'm hoping someone on here has a repository of stock android images for the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi.

I've been trying to roll back my device from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4. The device I have is a test device and was upgraded without notice. For the sake of project testing, I need to roll this device back to 4.0.4.

I figured if I got a previous bootloader and system image, I can just fastboot them and be on my way. So if anyone has these on hand, I would appreciate it greatly if you could share.

Any and all help is welcome.

Thank you,

-Spartus

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Turbotab:
For all those interested in developing for the Exynos 5250, to be used in the Nexus 10, Samsung have kindly launched, for a modest sum:), the Arndale development board.

http://www.arndaleboard.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

It has already been benchmarked on the GL Benchmark site, Mali T-604 is powerful, but it doesn't look like it will give the A6X any headaches.

http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedet...o25&D=Samsung+Arndale+Board&testgroup=overall
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hot_spare:
Need proper benchmark done on a final device. Definitely can't think that dev board drivers are optimized properly. It's running on 4.0.4. We should get more details once we do a benchmark on a final version of N10.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Turbotab:
Jelly Bean didn't do much for graphics benchmarks, IRC. The low-level test won't change much, if you do a comparison with the iPad 3, you can see that Power VR SGX MP4 is a beast in terms of pixel / texture fill rate, which the A6X will improve further. The consensus is that shader power is the most important, as long as there is sufficient fill rate performance, and the Mali T-604 combined with its good bandwidth should be as capable as the A6X in real world games, the only question will developers optimise a game just 1 tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hot_spare:
I am not saying that JB will suddenly improve GPU benchmarks, but a lot of improvement can happen due to driver/firmware optimization.

Let me give you real example: Do you recall GLbenchmark Egypt offscreen scores GS2 when it came out initially? It was getting around 40-42fps initially.

[Source: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/17 ]

The same GS2 after a few months was getting 60-65fps under same test.

Source 1: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/4

Source 2: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5811/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview

It's a clear 50% improvement in performance done primarily through driver optimization.

Also, check the fill rate properly in the Arndale board test. It's much less than what is expected. ARM says that Mali-T604 clocked at 500MHz should get a fill rate of 2 GPixels/s. It's actually showing just about 60% of what it should be delivering.

http://blogs.arm.com/multimedia/353-of-philosophy-and-when-is-a-pixel-not-a-pixel/

Also check this slide : http://semiaccurate.com/assets/uploads/2012/03/Samsung_Exynos_5_Mali.jpg

Samsung says 2.1 GPixels/s @ GPU clocked at 533MHz. Obviously the results don't match with quoted numbers. Difference is a lot actually.

I believe the final Nexus 10 numbers will be quite different from what we see now. Let's wait for final production models.

Run rachmats cwm.zip(which is temporary cwm).Use the touch facility to scroll.

Then run the su/busybox.zip file.

Dont reboot,then flash the siyah.zip file.

That should be you rooted (with permanent cwm)and with safe kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Born<ICs:
Hello, I’m new to XDA Forum and thank you in advance for answering my basic question.

Verizon Gnex stock. Wi-Fi Hot Spot?

Prior to JB OTA update I installed PDAnet, FoxFi & FoxFi Addon. The Gnex is my only net access right now. After JB update I installed SwitchPro to get a WiFi Hot Spot. I assume it’s the native one “AndroidAP”. FoxFi is now works after developer fix for JB. So I have FoxFi and SwitchPro installed but things aren’t working correctly.

SwitchPro no longer launches the native Wi-Fi “AndroidAP” but launches the FoxFi hotspot instead. ? When I launch FoxFi I now get two Wi-Fi notifications on the bar. When LTE/3g searches/toggles the FoxFi active Wi-Fi Hotspot indicates "Off" but the Gnex settings Tethering & portable hotspot indicator shows FoxFi "active". ?

I like the SwitchPro switches but also use PDAnet for USB Tether. 4g LTE reception is spotty where I live. Bounces between 4g/3g a lot but getting better.

Would someone help me properly setup the wi-fi hotspot apps and switches?

Thanks much

I was under the impression that since then FoxFi app was fixed for jb, and there is the addon for it, switch pro was no longer needed?

I could be wrong as I do not tether so those apps serve me no purpose.

Smoothest ICS experience on your P920

Hi All,

First of all I want to thank xbsall for the port to our P920.

Recently the TouchwizUX was ported to other devices and it works like a charm on my P920! Like all of you might know is that touchwiz was a pretty bad launcher at first, but since the new version came out with the S3 the whole experience has changed and its lightning fast.

The other thing is that without the ICS animations it doesnt feel that snappy and beautifull.

So there is a way to enable these animations, and there is a way to make this TouchwizUX work properly (Touchwiz only works when youre phone is rooted!

Enable animations:

1 Go to system/developer options

2 Scroll all the way down

3 select "window animation scale" and choose .5x

4 select "transition animation scale"and choos 1x

There you go, you enabled the transitions!

(This setup works/looks the best, you can ofcourse change it to you taste)

Install TouchwizUX

1 Download SecLauncher2.apk

2 Copy it to your SD card

3 (You need a root explorer wich can change permissions) copy the file from your sd card to system/app and change the permissions to 0777

4 Go back to your sd card and install it from there

(This method probebly should work, if you do it different you're not able to place widgets)

Cheers

[General Questions and Answers] Fish-Man:
Hi,

I have had my phone now for a week, and am a complete noob to Android.

All my other phones were windows based, and I am used to changing phones firmware etc. I am OK with a lot of the terminology, only, not with Android based products.

Now for my problem:

When I try to install an app, I am getting the "insufficient storage available".

It appears (to me, anyway), that it's only when I try to install, or update an app, that required a rooted phone to install/run, (ie. busybox, root checker, titanium backup, etc.) OR an update to one of the apps that came as "standard" with the phone (ie. ROM based).

All other apps appear to install fine.

I have Googled the error and found loads of people with this problem, and some have had it fixed by the methods below. I have tried them, but I still have the problem (as do MANY others it seems).

Does anyone know of a sure-fire way of getting the functionality back ?

I have a couple of copies of LuckyPatcher.apk, but I can't run or install either of them.

I have tried loading the <whatever>.apk file on the phone, then running it, I just get the "out of memory" error.

I have tried to just copy the <whatever>.apk into \system\apps, but it wont copy - I just get a "copy failed" message.

I have checked in \data\app for .odex files - there are none.

I have manually been through the Manage Apps details and cleared out the caches.

I have re-booted MANY times.

I did have Titanium Backup, but I have uninstalled it for now, as the pro key wont install, nor will any of the other "pro" keys I have purchased.

I hope I have presented enough information to start someones grey matter to tick over some rational fault finding techniques.

Please. Can someone help me ?
