Call me crazy but maybe I'm missing something.

I have a t-mobile Samaung Blaze 4G. I was running stock+root rom and everything was fine. I downloaded Goomanager to check it out and it had an update (pa_t769-ota-eng.thomas.zip) so like a total noob I flashed it (yes I made a back-up) From that I got Paranoid Android 4.1 and its ok if you download the GApps but now it wont take any flashes for 4.0.4 including the back-up. It gets stuck on bootlogo. It seems like anything with a factory stock bootlogo will get stuck and I want to go back to 4.0.4 because the 4.1 is unstable and reboots randomly alot throught the day. any help would be greatly thanked.

EDIT: I am now running Paranoid Android 254v4 and it is working flawless. Goomanager is also running great. People should check it out.
[General Questions and Answers] Joey Karafa:
I had that same problem with paranoid. I even did a fresh install just to make sure I didn't forget something. I ended up just flashing a new rom

Hi To All

I need help. I have my HOX stocked 4.0.4 rooted, installed with ncx 2.1.7 v13 kernel. I realised that my battery drain is about 4-5% an hour or so. It was worsed with stock kernel. To add in, every 2 hours or so, there will be high current usage notification from currentwidget. Can someone guide me what is the best kernel for battery life, n do i need to have other settings like governor or anything else to maximise my battery?

By the way, i have only go keyboard, currentwidget, rom toolbox pro and applications that does not use startup. And i can't flash a custom rom due to my HOX cid is htc_044.... :(

I seriously need a good kernel with good battery life or a compatible custom rom with htc_044.

Thanks alot to those who can help me.
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
Every ics custom rom is compatible
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
But when i looked at the roms, it's all under jelly bean. How do i know which rom is ics?
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
Go to development subforum, there's a thread which lists all the guides, mods, kernels and roms. All ics roms can be flashed on any cid.

Oh and go install betterbatterystats. Get it, use your phone normally, and check under process and partial wakelock if you have a rogue app causing wakelocks.
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
Ok thank you. I will look it up. I really need a better battery life rom or kernel.
[HTC One X] paul chambers:
The best i have found is ViperX rom with FAUX'S o11 kernel
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
Thanks Paul. Really needed a good recommendations from users out there. Been having bad days with my new HOX and the battery life like that....
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
Paul, to add on, does viperx includes the beatsaudio thing? And with faux kernel, how is your battery life?
[HTC One X] paul chambers:
HI it's ok best I have had from any Rom . You can install beats again I will post link in a bit .

[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
I would think that stock kernel with stock rom has best battery life.
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
Hey guys, I tried ViperX 2.7.1 with Faux 011 kernel, and found that no apps are intefering with my partial wakelock and process. But still, after a screen on, it's just a matter of 2-3mins that my battery will drop 2-3%. Anyone knows why is that so? And what can roughly cause the problem.
[HTC One X] paul chambers:
Have you got screen brightness turned down to what is acceptable mine is on 25%or around that. Also have you let battery do a full charge and discharge cycle. EG let battery discharge just below 14% My battery is alot better now then when i first had the phone, It does take a week or so to get better battery life after a few charging cycles. Also now you have flashed new give it a couple of days before you start to compare to let it settle so to speak.
[HTC One X] amirage:
When did u flash Viper ROM? U need to give the phone at least 3-4 charge cycles before complaining about battery life...Faux variant Free V11 for me is the best..have a look...but the most important thing is let the phone go through at least a couple charge cycles..and trust u will notice a huge improvement in the battery life.
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
NO. Don't discharge your phone. Li-ion batteries don't need discharge cycles. If you do that, it loses battery life.
[HTC One X] paul chambers:
I can not see anybody suggesting he lets it fully discharge.:confused::confused:
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
Ok guys. I will try to follow what you guys advice... Maybe it's just me being paranaoid about the battery life... My bad.... It almost 24hrs that flashed both the rom n kernel... If there's anything that i should do more, do tell me. Coz all the while i've been using my Incredible S which fell into the toilet bowl. So abit excited and worried.
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
Charge cycle : fully charge then fully discharge.
[HTC One X] paul chambers:
Please please read the whole sentence full charge and discharge cycle. EG let battery discharge just below 14% i can not find anybody telling him to fully discharge it . Please point me to that post.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

I have tested this stock v custom and the custom was roughly 18% improvement to the stock rom and kernel. Got to admit when you first get them you can not put them down so the screen and other apps are being used more than you may think LOL :laugh:
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
Heeee thanks guys!!!
[HTC One X] Zlotin:
Nope. The best for me was ncx kernel with viperx Rom, it needs to settle down (2-3 days) and I have 3-5 screen on time depending on tasks I do.

To the op.

I cant say anything about your problem, since you havent said anything about your current batteey time.

You can try all kernels available here on the forum, because all of them are compaitable with ics.

There are 1001 of battery threads, so no need to open new one. Just go and read, me myself wrote about 5 big posts about battery Life and how you make it netter...no need to repeat it at all.
[HTC One X] slackerz_86:
Thanks for the post Zlotin. The reason why i opened this post is because i am too confused with all the battery threads. I know u r not being sarcastic thou.

Anyway, which ncx kernel are u referring to?
[HTC One X] Zlotin:
Since I'm on jb Rom since one month, I can't really recommend the best one, but at that time, the best battery live I've had was with ncx v5 kernel. But before you flash amok, install cpuspy and look, if your phone goes to sleep as it should. Then install gsam battery or better battery stats and look, what eats your battery. On current widget, the normal consumption is 300mah with screen on idle, 5-25mah in deep sleep, and ca. 500-700 using your phone.

Dear all

I`ve got this problem, everytime I flash the rom using custom recovery I always got bootlop.

I`ve tried flashing this rom : Clean Rom 4.5 and Stock JB Rom (nowipe) odex using custom recovery : CWM 6.0.1.2 and TWRP 2.2.0

When flash using custom recovery I always follow the sequence : wipe data/factory reset-wipe cache-Install-reboot system

The last time I succeed flash rom is using Odin (flash from stock JB to stock ICS)

For information :

The data of my phone

It's easy to get perfect if you shoot landscapes. I've got some great ones while hiking/snowshoeing. Close up objects are difficult to get right.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
To get a perfect shot you need to rotate the phone about the lens, and not your body. Now do you see the problem? It's pretty much impossible to achieve without external devices.

And along comes another random user wit useless nonsene :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:

But that was a good comeback I admit.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
It may have been more clear what he was replying to if he quoted the post but the point is far from nonsense seeing as it's completely true. The only way to achieve a perfect photosphere is to use the camera lens as the centre of the panorama and rotate the device around that point.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illgodson:
I have quite a few perfect 360° shots by rotating myself not the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
You can take some very good photo sphere by rotating your body, but they won't be "perfect" because you are using your body as the axis instead of the camera lens. When you view a photo sphere, you are viewing it from the center point of the sphere. If you used your body as the axis, there is going to be small amount of stretching because the photos are taken at a distance from the center point of the sphere.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illgodson:
Are you talking about the mini planet ones or the 360° ones?

Here's one I did rotating my body ad the axis, seems pretty close to perfect I can get.

[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] mlau010:
I have just bought a Thinkpad Tablet (the original andriod version)

Was looking for a thinkpad tablet dock here in Australia as I remember that they were selling for $40 at one point. However couldn't find it online anymore.

On the online chat with a lenovo rep, he tells that dock 2 will work with the the original thinkpad and more interestingly.... HDMI will work from the dock as well.

Can anyone confirm this? HDMI was a major missing thing from the original dock
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] LSWONE:
I think it will work. The port for the tablets is the same and I found out the original android dock was supposed to have HDMI out but they removed it before release.

You can see it in the picture I just took.
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] LSWONE:
Just found this picture from the Lenovo site.
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] noxxle:
Is the original dock compatible with the Thinkpad Tablet 2?

I don't need all the ports. I just want to charge faster. The original dock is much cheaper.
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] jchammerpants:
Neither dock is immediately cross-compatible.

I had a TPT1 and still have its dock. My TPT1 was upgraded by Lenovo to a TPT2 after numerous warranty issues. They also gave me a free dock since I had purchased the TPT1.

To this question, I'll caution owners from buying the "other" dock for their device. Neither is 'out-of-the-box' compatible with the other tablet's physical dimensions.

The TPT1 dock is intended to be used in portrait mode, and the trough in which the tablet is seated on the docking connector is "boxed" on all four sides. Since the TPT2's connector is on the bottom landscape-wise, it cannot reach the TPT1 docks' connector as-is. You'll have to cut pieces of the plastic and metal dock off at the ends of the "box" to allow the TPT2 drop onto the connector.

Here's a pic of the TPT1 dock's "boxed" trough:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wwzqrgi9tjhrro8/2013-02-17 11.58.04.jpg

I also estimate that the TPT2 dock will not work with the TPT1-- if someone is doing so successfully, I will be happy to be proven wrong! :laugh:

The reason I think it won't work is the comparative width of the TPT1 vs. TPT2. The TPT2 is significantly slimmer than the TPT1. While the TPT2 dock is not "boxed" on the ends like the TPT1 dock, the trough looks to be too narrow to allow the TPT1 to slide in to it. The TPT2 slides in snugly, and it is much thinner than the TPT1.

This pic is not as clear as I'd like, but it is attempting to show that the trough of the TPT2 dock (held upright in my left hand) including the plastic lip in the front is still narrower than the TPT1 trough.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/v4xfzeoa0f8ae4z/2013-02-17 11.59.13.jpg

Hope this is helpful.

I'm not aware of any ARM system with UEFI (prior to Windows RT)

At some point we will need to try to somehow dump the UEFI firmware of some devices

Technically, shouldn't it be possible to run Windows RT on a N7? They both run on ARM and the exact same Tegra 3 cpu at that, 1GB is enough for RT devices even though Microsoft upped the recommendation to 2GB near release, and finally the installation occupies around 14GB which fits in the N7 16GB SSD - it wouldn't be difficult to create a lighter installation with some elements removed. Also, the N7 resolution is enough for metro apps, just not enough to use the Snap feature, but metro apps would run.

Hopefully someone with enough technical knowledge will attempt this. I'd gladly put Windows RT in my Nexus 7 and have an ultra portable "pc" with Office included - bring a USBtoGo cable with you and connect any keyboard to your N7, all ready to work!
