First, welcome to android :) For the lockscreen thing, you have it set up to delay the lock screen 5 minutes after the screen times it, go under your lock screen settings and make sure that where it says "lock instantly with power key" is unchecked. For the email client, I haven't used them as I have made the switch over to having all of my emails as gmail. Have you tried the one pre loaded with the phone? If not then I'm sure a simple search on the market will provide what you need. Just keep in mind that the best part of android is the customizability and the freedom to change everything if you are willing to put in the time!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
In regards to an email client, try checking out K9 Mail in the Play Store. I believe a unified inbox is one of its features.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonzai6:
Thanks for the reply. Happy to be owning an S3 now. That seems to solve my problem with the lockscreen. Thanks for the tip. I don't know how i messed that. lol As for the email most of my accounts are gmail, but 2 are not. The issue is just switching between 5 different inboxes every time i want to check my mail. I hope google adds unified inbox to gmail soon.

Does anyone recommend any good roms to try out? I would like to run something based on JB, but it still needs to be reliable for the most part it is a daily driver. I would like to add google wallet and check out google now. I do like a few of the features of the stock rom and am curious if anyone is just running a debloated stock rom and installing wallet and google now on that inorder to keep sbeam and a few other features that samsung baked in. If so hows the performance on that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Welcome to Android, fellow previous iPhone user! :)

For the multiple emails: if you want to use the gmail client, you just need to add those other accounts to your Gmail. I used to do this with my school's Exchange email and my Gmail.

Basically, Gmail can attach POP3 and I think IMAP, too, accounts. This way you can send and receive from those accounts. It might be called forwarding. Look out up in the gmail settings.

But, if you don't care for archive or priority inbox (gmail specific features), then the default email client can combine inboxes (mine says combined inbox even though I only have one account)...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
If you're looking for a stable JB ROM, check out Task650 and Ktoonsez AOKP 4.1.2 or CM10.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peneoark:
Yeah, I have to agree with you on K9. It's unified box is great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonzai6:
Ok thanks for the tip. I'll check that out

Yea i noticed that the email client that samsung baked in handles combined email well, but i don't think theres a way to use that client if I decide to switch to a custom rom. I'll definiteley check out k9 though.

I just put CM10 on my phone and I was going to spend a few days playing with that, but whats the word on any samsung features being ported to that? I know there arent many that are any good, but I do like sbeam's ability to send larger files (which i think is just wifi direct, correct me if im wrong), gimicky things like the swipe to screenshot, the calendar widget, that picture in picture feature(which i probably will only use twice), and some of those motion options.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
You should try and read up over in the development sections. Those gimmicky features built into the S3 stock are from Samsung TouchWiz. CM10 is based on AOSP which is entirely different. So those Samsung features aren't going to be available on CM10, period.

I believe if you spend some time with the new ROM, you'll find yourself without a need for those TouchWiz gimmicks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Seconded. Once I found aokp I stopped flashing new roms every couple of weeks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonzai6:
Ok I'll definitely spend some time with CM10 and see how I like it. I read this morning that Stable releases have started showing up for CM10 for some devices. So hopefully it will be a good daily driver.

Thanks to everyone who responded and gave me suggestions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrklc1974:
Great questions.. I also switched from iPhone after owning every version up to the 4S... I miss it less and less every day. I currently use cm10 nightly build ROM and update every couple nightlies I also use apex launcher because I like the notifications on the icons and ability to rename icons and change their pic.

I missed the simplicity of ios when I got my gs3 2 months ago but after getting familiar and finding solutions for my individual needs I don't miss ios anymore.

I do find being left handed the gs3 too be a little too wide of a form factor and I accidentally hit the volume rocker often. I have contemplated getting a thinner android device but will hate it prob after being use to the screen size... I have been changing things daily and spending a lot of time trying things.. I enjoy it. Feel free to inbox me if you need insight. I use my gs3 for small business and personal needs.. lots of YouTube. Texting...Facebook.. and my scheduling invoicing company has a mobile cloud site I use daily to run business.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phasion:
i too made the switch from an iphone 4

dont really miss it all that much since the benefits of swapping out the battery, roms, etc outweigh the simplicity of the iphone

it would be nice if theres a way to scroll to the top of a website like IOS did for many of its apps

I am so far enjoying the CM10 Release although honestly I miss a couple features in the touchwiz rom. I'm kind of torn. I definitely want to try out the JB OTA update and see if its enough for me to settle. The features I'm torn over are:

CM10 Pros:

Always up to date regardless of carrier holdups(bugs are fixed quickly)

a lot of additional options that allow me to fine tune the experience far beyond what is allowed in touchwiz

overall the phone is MUCH smoother without occastional hangups and whatnot(but im not sure how much of that is just the improvements of JB)

Google Now

improved notifications

pure google experience without all the touchwiz stuff slowing things down

love the sms app vs the samsung app(much cleaner and faster in my opinion and I don't like the market alternatives for sms they feel just as slow and cumbersome to me. The only one that comes close to being acceptable is gosms)

the sms popup is really nice even though it doesn't always work perfect

prefer the lockscreen style to that of the ripple effect on touchwiz

Touchwiz Pros:

Sbeam(only because my brother and a few close friends all picked up an S3 and I have been using this feature a lot with them)

Samsung Calendar widget(for some reason really like this specific widget)

I like the camera interface a little better in the touchwiz

The best shot feature in the camera is nice

strangely enough I have come to like the voice control with the alarm clock and phone calls

Smart Alert is nice but ive noticed its randomly going off while im in a phone call which is kind of annoying

I enjoy using the swipe to screenshot

I like the notification icons that are on the lockscreen for quick access to missed notifications

May just be a bug but I don't seem to get LTE service properly on the CM10 rom

Again I'm torn between the two but I've realized the only things that I'm clinging to in touchwiz are pretty much small interface things or gimmicky features that could possibly be solved with other apps from the market. I would like to try the JB touchwiz rom when it releases and see if it is enough to appease me but I don't want to give up my root and risk not getting that back if I don't like it and want back to CM10. What do you guys think?

Here is a nice, cheap screen protector I just found on eBay that ships from TX, USA:

Looks pretty decent...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
I am worried about the curved edges. My photon 4G had this issue with dry application screen protectors. Can you post a review when you get it installed so we all know if this is going to be an issue?

For the first time I think I am going to go naked. I have faith in Gorilla Glass 2. I will just stay away from sand.

sent from my perfect 32GB Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gsrrr:
EDIT: Didn't see that they charged another $3 for shipping on Amazon. Good deal OP!

3 pack for $2.95

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Yeah, I'm really not sure about that. I don't know if I'll just wait for the Xtreme Guard screen protector, which is very high quality and cheap; its very similar to extreme guard. And this one is a wet application. So I hope it will be released soon.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] predation:
why the heck aren't vendors selling the back too???!?!?!?!?!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
I hate wet-applied one...

but I also concern about the curved-edge screen...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Now has 10% off the $2.92 price! So now its only $2.62. This is the cheapest screen protector as of now!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lowrider262:
Just ordered one:D thanks button hit
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intel352:
Just to point out, the OP link is 1x screen protector, the Amazon link is 3x screen protector.

So if you're getting the 3-pack, that's cheaper total cost per screen protector, at under $2 per protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AznDud333:
why not use liquid armor?

put 3-4 coats of it and you're set(ive been using it on my gs2 for a while) does not get as oily as plastic screen protectors..nor does it scratch
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Yeah, good point, but i don't think everyone wants to order 3 of them...Just finding a cheap one screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] florian3000:
Alright, so, dumb question now: Why would I need a screen protector when the glass is Gorilla 2 and not supposed to get scratches and stuff like that?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 0.0:
its scratch resistant to many things, but dust, dirt, and sand is a different story
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Gorilla glass is not scratches proof

Why take a risk if a SP is not so $
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 0.0:
i dont think this is a wet application one...how can you tell? theres no liquid or solution to be put on in order for it to work, unless im getting my definition of wet application totally wrong

edit: i misread it. sorry about it. disregard this post
[Nexus 4 Accessories] florian3000:
So you would get micro scratches, right?

For me personally that's a bad trade off when you might see that screen protector on the sides then.

what could be the issue? can it be fixed easily? if not how much would it cost?

i am currently on military tour in afghanistan, so returning is obviously not an option, do i need to get a new lcd or the digitizer? i can fix it myself
[HTC One X] matt95:
you need a new lcd, but you will have to detach the lcd from the digitizer and then reattach the lcd to the old digitizer, that's tricky...there's also a thread on how to do it in the general section

well, from what i see it is an LCD+Digitizer already assembled... that's the easiest way but it costs a bit more... but i don't know what is AUO

AUO is Acer and Sony is Sony.

I guess I read that AT&T (XL) has the Sony LCD and the International one has AUO.

Not sure if they have any differences or each other will fit in the other one.

Onboard virtual keyboard is installed, but there is a display problem (all black). The fix for this is posted HERE.

As I have a dock, I didn't think about the keyboard for login. Looks like lightdm and lxdm don't have the universal access menu that is in unity-greeter, so a dock or usb keyboard is needed for login atm. As time permits I will look into how this login issue can be addressed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
OK, so I tried it too. Some first impressions:

* Touchscreen, keyboard dock and touchpad work fine.

* WiFi works too.

* Everything is very tiny. "xrandr --dpi 160" helps a bit.

* Most dock special keys send the correct keysyms corresponding to their label, but maybe XF86Back should be mapped to Esc instead

* Connecting a HDMI cable freezes the system

* Booting with connected HDMI cable also hangs at the bootloader screen

* I don't understand why "mount -o loop /mnt2/ubuntu /mnt" in the initrd works, shouldn't it be "-o bind"?

For an early alpha: very impressive!
[Asus Transformer TF700] aig787:

Awesome work! Everything works great and fast except the wifi only works sporadically for me. It worked right after installing but then on and off after the first reboot. I reinstalled and it doesn't seem to have helped. Any idea what could be going on?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hundsbuah:
how to install without keyboard? :D

/edit

sorry didnt read all :p

cant login yet without dock. is it possible to boot back in android and modify with rootexplorer some files in lubuntu to set autologin with username AND password?

i only found solutions:

file: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

[SeatDefaults]

autologin-user=ubuntu

autologin-user-timeout=0

user-session=Lubuntu

greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter

but how to set autologin password?

can s.o. help me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] xworld21:
The display manager doesn't need a password, the username is enough to autologin. There is no way of specifying an autologin password, as it should never be saved unencrypted on disk.

It may be better to add the line

pam-service=lightdm-autologin

as well.

If the problem is just that the gnome-keyring asks for the password after login, then you have to change the password of the "login" keyring to the empty one (use seahorse). I do not recommend it, though, as it means that all the saved passwords, such as in epiphany, chromium, empathy etc. will be saved unencrypted.

Can you autologin now? Your configuration should work as it is, but if it doesn't then something else is wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ryanbadowski:
Does CWM backup the boot partition? If it does, can I just boot into recovery and perform a restore in order to return to Android?
[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
I

You don't need to restore Android, you just need to restore the boot image for your ROM. The boot image for Paranoid Android is included in the OP, and you just flash via recovery, reboot, and your old Android system is back. If you use a different ROM, you would need to build a zip to flash that (which is what I've done for CleanROM)...

Here's the flashable boot image for CleanROM 2.4 (probably works for 2.3 also, but haven't tested):

I have a noob question... How to "Flash the boot image (precise-bootimg.zip)"

I mean what command, and where precise-bootimg.zip supposed to be? (The same folder?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] l1nuxfre4k:
If you have to ask, you shouldnt be messing with this dude :p

as they sad, this is not for noobs and people with no linux experience.

And to answer the question, to flash it you need a recovery installed on your device, and thats where you flash it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nahakiole:
You have to flash it through the recovery.

In order to to this, your Device must be unlocked and a custom recovery alike TWRP must be installed.

EDIT: Well played l1nuxfre4k :)

Just tried out my Apple USB - Ethernet Adapter. It worked from the Spot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] l1nuxfre4k:
wtf? does the apple adapter work in this device? :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No idea, but I had a similar experience. I thought it was an isolated local issue, but apparently it isn't. WiFi was OK after installation, but not working after the first reboot. I think I noticed I had a strange IP that was not in my normal network range, but didn't investigate further - the lack of an Esc key made using vi or mc pretty much impossible, so I flashed back to Android.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

That you rooted and unlocked doesnt prove much dude.

There are full instructions, even videos on how to do that, this is another kind of thing, you need experience with linux(not just that you tried ubuntu once or twice...) and a decent understanding of android system would be a good start also, by that i dont mean how to change wallpaper or something like that :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
Hum, i know what i'm talking about. I've been installing, customizing and using linux for more than 10 years. I know also about searching in google. What I was asking was photos of a TF700 with Ubuntu installed on it, not screenshots of ubuntu on some pc. Well you could answer that ubuntu on TF700 is the same than ubuntu on any computer and that a photo will not show the use of ubuntu with a touchscreen. But that was just to have a visual view of what this topic is about. But don't worry, I will not cry of nobody takes that photo ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NickS VR4:
So with this setup, you can just keep switching back and forth just by flashing the boot image? I didn't check, but is there a boot image available for this ubuntu build? I use CWR Touch and Paranoid Android right now. Been a flashaholic since my OG Droid (GNex, GSIII, N7, and now TF700).
[Asus Transformer TF700] l1nuxfre4k:
Then you are perfect for this ^^ start helping out!

Its a normal ubuntu install dude :) what would be nice to get working doh is Unity 3d, its touch optimized more i would say, at least thats my opinion about it.

So screenshot or photo shouldnt be needed since it looks like a normal ubuntu pretty much :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaybob413:
Yes. The dev thread has links to both a PA and Ubuntu boot image, as well as a couple of rootfs versions. If you are running PA, just flash the PA boot image to go back to Android.

Has this happened to anyone else...?

I got the Unity flavor of this mod working splendidly. Then somehow I ended up at the lock screen (I can't remember how--maybe I hit the lock button or power button or closed the lid). The screen flashed and went blank. I hit the power button, but the screen kept flashing the lock screen, and I couldn't get my password in, so I did a hard reboot (held down the power button).

Now I can't boot into Ubuntu. It hangs a black screen.

Any ideas what's going on?
