Best rom post in disguise reported .

RULES

Do NOT post threads asking which the best ROM or kernel is	Guys,

There has been so many "Which is the best ROM?" and "Which is the best kernel?" threads lately.

This is a reminder.. these kind of threads are NOT allowed.

Why are they not allowed? Well because that the best rom and kernel for me might be the worst for someone else. It's subjective. It's like asking who the hottest girl in the world is. Or which sports car is the best. If you ask 100 people you will get 100 different answers.

The best advice is to try them all and figure out which one is best for YOU and YOUR needs. Not based on what's best for someone else.

I have just been closing these threads but I'm going to start to hand out official warnings if it continues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
I was actually trying to make a fun

Topic and as I said I didn't want anyone to say anything about the best rom.

So if I have to apologise for that to you I'll say sorry mr rule book man and master of the forums.....

Gee can't even have a bit if fun in here
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IOIDroid:
I agree Mate , I believe this thread is OK, as he says he is not asking which is best he is asking what people want,

Which as a DEV is a greatly needed Resource of IDEA', if these guuys ask for what they want and then the ROM;s are developed surely this benefits the entire community and surely this is not against the rules.

As a DEV is say :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
This was one of my intentions to help you devs out too

But seems whenever I try to help in here I get it thrown back at me

Last topic I'll ever do....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
I don't think this thread violates the "best rom thread" rule. He is not asking for the best rom, he wants to know what makes a rom best for oneself. Although, that's also very subjective seeing as what I find to be a best rom (stable, fast, bloat-free, sammy JB) might be completely off. I know people who love beta/experimental builds with bare-minimum features/apps etc. etc. and for the most part speed isn't valued there.

In one aspect, this thread is okay while in the other aspect it isn't.

Oh, don't be like that. You have to understand most of us have had our fare share of "what's the best X" kind of threads, and it's disheartening to see them every day or every second at least. If you want to start a topic, think for yourself if the topic is allowed or not, and be sure to search a lot beforehand so you don't start a topic which has been discussed a gaziliion times (much llike best X or best Y threads)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IOIDroid:
Its this particular Section for the Forum Mate, i have done Dev work with the Galaxy S and the HTC Flyer and the HTC Wildfire and never saw this amount of people trying to do the MOD's jobs for them.

Don't worry about it, fair enough if you post the wrong things then the MOD's will tell you but until then dont worry
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
I went through a really bad time this year and since getting my s3 it's the only thing that has got me motivated to do anything.

I've had my phone about two months and I'm a very quick learner so thought I could help others too and maybe learn about making roms and other things.

I thought I'd do this topic to see what it is people look for in roms and help the developers out too and maybe put a bit of fun in it too

That was my only intention
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
I have gone through a hell of a year as well. My mom and grand mother died, and we had to put our cat to death and my car has too many flaws to be worth fixing (both time-wise and economy-wise) etc. So you're not alone, thankfully. :)

The S3 is indeed a great phone and I would like to see you in the rom-making business. We could always use more people.

Like I said, this topic could be viewed upon in the wrong way, but it seems to be good so far. Don't worry about jj so much, he's, well, jj. ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Well here I am :) Saying that these threads are not allowed... for the billionth time..

OP if you read the stickies you would see one saying not to post best rom threads. Also if you look at out sub-forum rules Vekya states these types of threads are not allowed.

Hello,

I recently acquired a second hand HTC One X - beast of phone ;) Now I'm wondering what kind of unlock was done to it.

The bootloader reads:

*** UNLOCKED ***
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.12.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-2.1204.135.20

Jun 28 2012, 11:31:28

Since I've never used htcdev to unlock a phone before, I have no idea if this has been unlocked that way or another way...
[HTC One X] matt95:
it has been unlocked as the bootloader says, obviously with htcdev which is the only way to unlock the htc one x
[HTC One X] devil-kin:
Yes, but *how*. htcdev? Flashed other hboot?
[HTC One X] matt95:
read above, i've edited the post ;)
[HTC One X] devil-kin:
Ah, thanks. Okay :) thought there was another way (though I hadn't found one yet) .

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] opeller:
Hello,

1. Thank you very much for being so helpful

2. I am very new to Android, so please refer me to the definition of the word you used if it has some sort of special Android meaning (even rooting, since I'm not 100% sure I understood what it means)

3. My problems are as follows:

A. The battery runs out really fast. is there a way to: 1. Stop applications who came with the phone from starting and restarting automatically after I close them without me using them? 2. make the battery last longer? (not talking about closing Wi-Fi when not using and stuff like that)

B. The sound is really weak when I try to hear music with headphones. I saw someone recommending using AC!DAudio but that requires rooting. I am afraid to do that since I don't understand anything about it and since in Sola, rooting requires unlocking bootloader and Sony stated on their site that it will remove responsibility. Is there any way to increase the audio without rooting? or a way to "install" AC!DAudio without rooting?

C. I saw online that it is possible to find you're phone if the GPS is on. I tryed leaving it on, and without using my device at all the battery lost 25% after only an hour an a half. Is there anyway to leave the GPS on without wasting that much battery? or a recommend way to find my phone that takes less battery?

D. Charging takes a really long time. Is there any way to change that?

Phone is as it came from the box. Didn't update or change anything (besides allowing unknown sources for applications and installing several applications).

I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong place or broke any rules, please tell me if I did since I wouldn't know since I'm new here,

Thank you all very much again,

opeller
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Hi, i dont know why you got so many problems (some of them strange like loosing 25 % of the battery), but:

1. You can do a hard reset to refresh the device, may be something is torturing it. That will remove a program, which can cause this battery behavior.

2. Stopping applications is a no no, because it can cause the phone to work slow and waste more battery. Android is made that way, to have images of some app in its memory to start apps faster.

3. The other thing in my mind is if you battery is wrong, you can try a service center too. They can measure the capacity and tell if its ok.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] opeller:
first, thank you for you're replay :)

1. how do I do that? does it involve any risks? (I don't mind loosing applications I have on the phone, I can just redownload them. nothing else I need there except for the phone list which is on the sim card :) )

2. are you sure? since I saw some on the runnig applications list that I didn't need. for example, I finished watching a video and MXplayer, which I used to watch it, was still there. I didn't need it until the next day. It took some ram (maybe it was like 30 but with a device who has 512 and always has at least half of it used for system stuff, it is quiet a lot) so I closed it so it wouldn't slow down my phone down an wouldn't take some of the battery. Is closing stuff from the running applications list really is bad? can it harm anything? are my reasons not ok?

3. That is an option too. I do hope it isn't since this device is only 2 weeks old. Is this not a problem all Sola users face?

thank you again,

opeller :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
1. No risk mate, hard reset is an option in the phone, it erases apps and returns the phone in new condition, like when it was bought. I think it is in restore&back ups, look in this menu personal data/erase. Click on it and on the next screen you must tick erase again and voila.

2. Using the RAM is not bad mate, dont worry. In the past i had a task killer and the phone was not better.

3. Many users who upgraded to ICS facing something like this - battery lasts less than in Gingerbread, nut what you mentioned above "25 % in hour and a half" - its strange imo mate.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] opeller:
thank you again :)

1. Ok, if I'll see the need to do so, then I'll try it.

2. I'll give it a try for a day :)

3. This happend only today, when I left the GPS on. The phone was also very hot when I cheked and saw it lost 25% after an hour and a half, but I was in a cool place. Today was the first time it happend. I'll see if it happens again tomorrow, when I'll leave the GPS off.

4. I see that you use Sola two. How did you get around the low volume when hearing music problem?

BTW I saw people complaining that the volume is low when talking on the phone. I do not hace this problem. Talking on the phone is just fine, but when hearing music the volume is very low.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
I flashed custom roms, thats it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
I'm in this position too, I've tried everything trying to fix the battery drain and am definitely going to buy a new phone in the new year. In the meantime, has anyone found anything to help? I've done all the usual things, minimum brightness, remove many internet apps, use power management, airplane mode at night, reinstall latest upgrade...

Also, I want to raise the volume throughout the phone also, I've tried a few custom ROMS and found *NO* difference whatsoever...:eek:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz8755:
I already have a 16gb Nexus 7 but but I am upgrading to a 32gb and was wondering whether it was worth getting the 3G version.

I like the idea of the 3G as I would probably use it abroad with a PAYG SIM bought locally but whilst at home I would not be using a SIM, relying on WI-FI and hotspotting to my phone.

So I would like to know

1) If using without a SIM is the performance/battery life any different to the non 3G version

2) Is/will the device be in high street stores by Christmas or will it be yet another Nexus 4 fiasco

Cheers

Baz
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhlj:
Well, I would normally say, "Its better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it." Which is why I paid the extra $50 for one. I dont know what the price difference is for you in the UK, tho. 30 quid?

You may even find that you would just rather have the 3G option at home since it can be kind of a hassle to turn on the wifi and connect it.

I'm not sure about your other questions, tho since I don't have mine yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toidimaet:
I use tablet talk and WiFi tethering on my cheap android phone. This allows me to data roam and send/receive SMS direct(ish) to my tablet.

I can even make calls from my tablet provided I have my BT headset connected to my phone for incoming audio.

Only reason I would really consider the 3g is if someone hacks it to make standalone calls (people are working on trying to do just that).

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] SandeepEmekar:
Tagline:

Increase the ringer volume on incoming call whenever the phone is inside the pocket or bag.

( I know there is an option in Note II/S3 to increase ringer when phone is in pocket but I find it improperly working so later decided to release this app )

Great for:

Great for those who do not like to keep Ringer volume full all the time but when driving car/bike couldn’t hear the phone call (caller name) then PocketRing is the app for you!

Features:

Max Volume:

Set the maximum volume which is to be increased on incoming call whenever the phone is inside the pocket.

Respect Silent Mode:

Force ring in silent mode or to remain silent.(Keep it on if attending college/office)

(Force ring will cause to ring both the, default ringtone + custom contact ringtone.)

Sleep @ Night:

Suspend PocketRing from increasing volume in the night time of 10PM to 7AM. (Good to keep ON if you keep your cell phone beneath the pillow while sleeping.)

Auto Restore Ringer:

Restore ringer to the original value/state when taken out from the pocket/bag on incoming call.

Sensor Mode:

Select Proximity Sensor or Light Sensor as default.

Good to change to obtain more accuracy or your phone doesn’t have the defined default sensor.

Proximity Sensor:

Proximity sensor detects the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

Light Sensor:

Light sensor detects and measures the light.

PocketRing ON/OFF:

PocketRing can be enabled or disabled by long tapping on the name “PocketRing/PocketRing Pro” located above “Max Volume”

Power consumption:

PocketRing is optimized for battery and there won’t be any noticeable battery drain with the app.

Known Conflicts:

Voice Caller ID like apps with “Lower Ring Volume” option enabled causes to stop restoring volume sometimes.

Free Version: Ad Free - Free version is limited to set the Max Volume.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I can't believe Google has evolved so much in a relatively short time and taken up such a huge portion of my life! They have always been one of my favorite companies, and now they may be at the top. I've used their search engine as long as I can remember, of course it's my fave. They give me a free minimalist browser that even my ****ty old HP laptop can run. I bought a Google phone and fell in love with Google's mobile OS, that's free too. Then Google thinks, hey, lets automate search.. And they give me Google Now! Baked in is the best damn mobile voice recognition system I've ever used. I cant believe Google was able to pretty much master the art of talking to a phone, I seriously ask my phone several questions a day, and do it around people with confidence that my phone will understand me and speak back relevant information. It does. Throw in all the different "cloud" storage options they have for free: gmail, contacts, voice, g+ instant upload, drive, etc.. I love Google. I'll never have to enter my contact numbers in a phone again. I have to pause, smile and reflect on that for a second. Or how about freaking satellite pictures of the earth wherever you want, or 360 views from the street. All free again.

Google isn't perfect, sometimes they make me throw my hands up wondering wtf they are thinking, he'll sometimes I complain about it to other XDA members thinking the same things. I know Google makes good money off us (and businesses) through its services.. But from the consumers standpoint, Google offers an almost infinite plethora of options for FREE DOLLARS. And since Google is moving towards all those services being much more tightly integrated, I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Sure, but then why was yakju delayed so many days? It was sort of reasonable to believe that it was due to Google taking some time to fix some of the more serious issues, but no, they just delayed it for no reason at all and then released it in a semi-broken state just like takju. Makes Google look pretty bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No it isn't. It would be reasonable if it had ever happened before, but it has not. Yakju always lags a few days to a week vs. Takju. Approvals are needed, for whatever political reasons at Google.

4.2 was no exception.

4.2 is a first release of a new version of Android, even if sharing the same name of Jellybean. Every initial release of Android to date has been buggy, with point releases following up to correct those issues. That is the price of bleeding edge. There will be bugs you get to see before anyone else. I have very little doubt there will be a point release soon to address issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Yakju has never lagged this far behind takju before, at least not since I jumped on the Nexus train. The 4.1.2 OTA came to yakju before takju (although the takju factory image was uploaded first).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
4.2 came at a time during new device launches. I've little doubt that the holiday season has caused some delays.
