At the same time, its not LGs job to teach you all that. If youre just a normal consumer, you wouldnt worry about knowing what is rooting or flashing roms. O2X is my first Android phone coming from Symbian Nokia. Thanks to this beautiful community I learnt as well many things and I must say I had some panic attacks in my beginnings lol, fearing to brick it... Rooting was the most important for me I think so I could use TB to remove crap apps, freeze...

Anyway I'm glad I turned to Samsung. It requires money or a good deal yea but if you can afford it, you wont be disappointed. Sure this is nearly 2 years later and technologies really improved but I think its really more superior than LG. I dont even have to talk about update process its obviously not comparable. Cmon Galaxy S2 has official 4.1.2 !

I dont feel the need to get updates anymore because its smooth and everything works perfectly. As long as they keep promises that they make (meaning releasing things on time) its fine.

I Felt like typing a novel ^^

[General Questions and Answers] pneuma00:
Hi there, so i'd like to ask a few questions regarding app replacement in CM7.

So, basically, my question is the following: if I want to replace a few CM7 applications, like the launcher, gallery, or music player etc. , can I just simply delete them using the Terminal Emulator / Titanium Backup w/e and install the replacement app normally, or do I need to rename the replacement app (name being identical to the original one) and copy it in the rom's system/app folder, fixing permissions and whatnot? Would this method cause any errors, even in the future? Or is it recommanded to copy the .apk in the rom's /system/app folder, replacing the old one? If so, how can I get the latest apps downloaded on my PC, because with the Google Play Store I can only download it directly to my phone ( obvious one lol).

Help is greatly appreciated!

Couldn't find a similar post browsing the forums ( I need to know the general method, not the app- specific ones).

Thank you in advance!

Hi...I live out in Hawaii, and mobi PCS has the best reception where i live. I have a couple questions I could not find the answers to from searching around the forums.

I'm looking at buying a Droid 3 with a bad ESN from Ebay...

1. It seems from what i've read that it doesn't matter about the ESN since I will be using it for MobiPCS instead of VZW (it is a VZW branded phone)...is that true?

2. All i need to do is bring it to the MobiPCS store and have them flash it??

2a. Should i expect a fee for flashing it?

2b. Does anyone have the software and I could flash it to Mobi myself?

3. Do I need to find an unlock code since VZW and Mobi are both CDMA? (from what i read it looks like i don't need a code?)

3a. I'm totally a noob about androids..but I am great with computers, and I have read quite a lot about rooting and installing roms. If question 3 is answered yes,.can't i just root the phone before bringing it into the store?

3b. What is the best way to root a Droid 3, and what is the best rom? -I mainly just want to tether it's 3g to my laptop, and use it for phone calls and text msg.

Thank you guys for ANY/ALL answers. Sorry if my questions have been answered in other forum topics...I simply could not find these answers.

Aloha from Maui!!
[Motorola Droid 3] leerpsp:
My Droid 3 has a bad esn and i flashed it to work with at&t and t-moble and am using my moms t-moble sim in it. But I don't know if it works with mobi PCS because were I'm from we don't have that service were I'm at I know if they use a sim that works with t-moble phones and at&t with out unlocking thim like straight talk does then the sims will work and if the mobi PCS does not use sims then your sol if it has a bad esn.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
If it's a CDMA carrier, you can flash it. If you want to try to get the phone to work with CDMA Workshop, hit Power+M, and I think it's BP tools. If it's GSM, follow the guide in the development section.
[Motorola Droid 3] anamolydetected:
Yes

Yeah, it's a CDMA carrier, but no sim card. Can i flash it myself, or do i need the store to flash it? Do i have to pay an "unlock fee" if i root the phone?

I will check out CDMA Workshop and Power+M, i am unfamiliar with these two programs.

Thanks for the replies!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
If you look up how to flash the DROID 3 to Cricket on their forums there is a nice write up.
[Motorola Droid 3] afextwin:
Revol, Cricket, Metro or any Sprint MVNO. Beigephone dot com can do the flash if you are not familiar with process of donor flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bstevens23:
Hey,

So I just got this GNex from eBay and it won't boot at all. If I plug it into the wall it will show the battery charging and show it filling up 3 times and then go black. I've tried plugging it into the computer and pulling the battery quickly to get it to boot and nothing. Is there anything I can do to flash/boot into the device or am I stuck relying on the store to do something about it? I've done several searches on the forum and google and I haven't found anything beneficial.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jett2314:
I would say it's dead. Try holding down the power button while holding down the volume up and volume down buttons all at once. If it should vibrate let go of the power button and see if it will enter fast boot. If not send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
thats the normal behavior when you plug it in, 3 times filling up then black. then when you press the power button, three times fill up then black. to me it sounds like your power button is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bstevens23:
I think power button is broken. Possibly volume keys as well. I'm able to boot if I plug into the PC and then wiggle the battery. There's a lock pattern so I can't get past it but I'm unable to adjust volume or turn the screen off/on. I'm going to bring it to the sprint store tomorrow and say it won't turn on.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bstevens23:
Looks like the phone got wet. I can boot it up with the PC as mentioned before but its locked and I don't know the pattern/gmail account. Is there anyway to put a phone into USB debugging without getting into the phone? How about fast boot/recovery/download mode without volume down or power buttons?
[General Questions and Answers] davidandbecci:
I've had an Android phone for 3 years now and am finally buying my first tablet. I've been going back and forth for weeks on whether to get an ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700 or a Google Nexus 10. I've put together the a big list of pros and cons of each and just can't decide. I'd love to get objective, substantive thoughts.

ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700

Pros

Quad Core

MicroSD Slot

8MP Camera on the Back

Keyboard Dock with USB Port and Extra Battery

$50 Cheaper for 32GB

Cons

1GB RAM

1.6GHz Processors (but with 1.7GHz boost for single processor)

Currently Android 4.1 (but supposedly 4.2 is on its way)

Google Nexus 10

Pros

1.7 GHz Processors

2GB RAM

Android 4.2 and immediate updates for future Android releases

Android Beam

Wireless TV (Although not sure if my current Samsung SmartTV will support it anyway)

Amazing Screen (Although, lets be honest - some of that resolution is getting downsampled by my eyeballs anyway - cool stunt, not sure if it will really look any better than the TF700)

Cons

Dual Core

5MP Camera

No SD Card

$50 More for 32GB

I just wish there was a nexus unit out there that was quad core, 8 MP camera and had an SD slot and that amazingly cool ASUS dock with a full USB port. Help me decide which pros are more important.

Thanks,

David
[General Questions and Answers] TKD Fusion:
There are a few important bullets you have..

Do you want the keyboard dock? If so, then get the Transformer. If you don't have a very portable laptop then I highly recommend it.

How do you use memory? Will you NEED the microSD slot? Do you use a lot? Do you want to transfer stuff easily? Then that is important.

Quad vs Dual core. This is less of a question more of a future-proofing issue. A quad-core tablet will go much farther when apps and other things become more capable and more demanding. (unless you are planning on getting the latest tablets frequently, then this is a moot point).
[General Questions and Answers] davidandbecci:
TKD Fusion,

Thanks for the feedback!

Eventually I think I would want the keyboard dock, but honestly, not having a tablet its a little hard to predict exactly how I'll use it. I do have an ASUS K55A laptop, which I consider to be decently portable, but I'm getting a tablet because it will obviously be a lot easier to tote around.

The only indicator of how I will use memory I have is my phone, which is a Samsung Galaxy II Epic Touch 16GB with an additional 8GB SDCard installed. I currently have all my music on it, but not much else. I have 8.6GB left in the main memory and 1.6GB left on the SDCard. I also have a SugarSync account that has 5GB on it, which I access as needed using the SugarSync App. I expect to start having it sync to my tablet so I have at least the main things I need available on the tablet offline. All that said, I'm probably not yet at the point where I NEED more than 32GB, but considering room for growth I may not be too far from it.

I am usually pretty good about making my toys last quite a while. I'm typing this on a desktop computer I bought over 8 years ago. When I buy stuff I like to invest in making sure it has the best chance of lasting as long as possible. In your opinion that might tip you toward the quad core, but slightly slower processor in the TF700?
[General Questions and Answers] Mikeparakh:
Hi Op,

I've been having this same dilemma.

I had a thread over in the Google Nexus 10 forum, so it's probably a little bias, but there are some good arguments if you haven't seen it already.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997600

I still haven't made my decision to be honest. I'm still leaning towards the Infinity because of the dock and external storage capabilities whilst travelling, but the issues that have been brought to the table regarding the I/O and memory etc are making the choice difficult. It seems a lot of people complain about the device, yet nothing has been mentioned on any review websites which all praise the device. Strange.

I'm thinking of holding out until January in the hope something else new is announced at CES? Probably clutching at straws though. Also, I'm in the UK and the Infinity seems to have been discontinued here and I'm still not sure why! I can't find anything about it on Google or forums and Asus haven't got back to an email I sent a week ago. So I'm a little confused. I was hoping they might be releasing a replacement or something though, but I doubt it.

If I get it, it will have to be from Ebay and from the USA, so this again represents another risk in case the device has problems (hardware or software, of which both have been reported).

Hope I'm not repeating anything too much!

Cheers,

Mike
[General Questions and Answers] ratatattata:
I wouldn't consider the 1GB RAM on the TF700 a huge con, as well as the back camera a pro. Same goes with the back camera on the N10, not a major con. The SD card however, is important, at least to me. I like to have all my music stored locally on my device as well as all my photos for back up.

Otherwise, if you're going to use the keyboard dock on the ASUS, get a new Chromebook or something.

Cheers, hope you get what you want :)

[General Questions and Answers] undergrad:
I'm debating between these two tablets as well.

I originally picked up the nexus 7, but unfortunately it wasn't nearly large enough for my needs.

My primary uses for the tablet will be to draw out design concepts. I think making my decision will be much easier once the nexus 10 is sold in stores. I'm currently leaning more towards the asus transformer infinity due to it's sleek design.
[General Questions and Answers] osmosizzz:
It really comes down to what you really need. I would go for a infinity for myself if I were to buy a tablet because of the micro sd card expansion and since it being a tablet, i would be storing some favorite movies, my entire song library (8GB) and thats about it. I think taking pictures with a tablet seems dumb but if I had a tablet, I would probably end up taking pictures and the infinity has a pretty good sensor, and it has a sleecker design. What would kill is the mono speaker. and i would not use it with the dock....actually, bot would be fit for me. lol dang. good thing i wont be buying a tablet until next year God willing.
[General Questions and Answers] davidandbecci:

[General Questions and Answers] trublu:
Just received my Nexus 10. I have it and the TF700 in front of me right now and the N10 is beautiful and smooth. The N10 looks much better than I expected and the back is really nice and grippy. Wasn't too sure about keeping it but it looks like the winner so far. I'll miss having my microSD card, however I wasn't using it much because of the horrendous I/O speed. Still going to do more comparisons. If anyone wants some real world info or something to compare between the two let me know.
[General Questions and Answers] Hobbesfed:
Just saying, quad core isnt always better than dual core. Infinity is Cortex A9 while the Nexus 10 is Cortex A15 based. This means that the Nexus 10 should be faster than the Infinity, even though Infinity is a quad core. :P Also, 5 mp cam to 8 mp really makes no difference, mainly because 1. Who takes photos with their tablet?... -.- Its huge. LOL and 2. Nexus 10's photos are AMAZING. (I have one)
[General Questions and Answers] typhex:
hi guys

okay so perfomancewise the nexus 10 is better. but i aint got a notebook atm and i will have to write a lot when i am not at home. what would you recommend? price doesnt matter to me. it has to be android and i saved 700 euros so it shall be enough. or do you know other devices which will fit my needs? btw what are the diffrences between infinity tf700t and tf300t? What about the galaxa note 10.1?

[General Questions and Answers] mrjayviper:
I was in the same boat and eventually went for the infinity because:

1. 1920x1200 is good enough for me

2. I need the extra space (OTG is not that convenient for a lazy person like me)

3. premium feel

4. cost less (bhphotovideo had a discount 2 weeks ago)

5. available immediately! (N10 has been unavailable in my country a few days after launch)
[General Questions and Answers] vicksterss:
How long have you had it now and how would you rate it after using it?

An incidental note: After looking at your list of devices, I'm astonished you went with a non-i device. Of course you do have that one HTC (or HTC One, was it? <g>). So I reckon you had already strayed from the *i* fold. :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] trublu:
overall the N10 beats the infinity. even though the back isn't metallic it feels way better than the infinity. it runs better than the infinity on cleanrom.
[General Questions and Answers] mrjayviper:
Infinity on stock ROM is POS!!!

To be honest, I feel an iPad offers much better performance hardware-wise and overall usage (no your device is not compatible and more apps with tablet ui).

But decided to go with android to get something different even if I feel I'm getting an inferior product and inferior tablet ecosystem. Can't play most games I had on the iPad since its unavailable or incompatible but that's fine.
[General Questions and Answers] CeeJayII:
I've had the infinity since last summer, my friend recently bought a Nexus 10 and I've had time to compare the two. The Nexus 10 beats the Infinity hands down, out of the box. The biggest reason for this is the infinity's i/o issues that will cause frequent force closes when browsing the web and completely slam the system when updating apps. The nexus 10 runs smoothly and is very fast, didn't have occasional pauses like the infinity.

That said, I have my infinity unlocked, running cleanrom, and am running data to SD which eliminates the i/o issue. With these modifications, my tablet is every bit as fast (faster in some areas) and reliable as the N10. The Data to SD is key though, makes the infinity feel like a totally different tablet. I'm sure the N10 will have a great dev community and perhaps will end up faster in the end, but with Data to SD these 2 tablets are neck and neck. So if you plan on rooting and romming your tablet, I believe it is a toss up based on preference of features. If you plan to remain stock, definitely go for the N10

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tyfighter:
At the very least, I think you'll have to root and flash the tethering fix (found in the dev section). That should clear everything up and it shouldn't mess with your current rom.

Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking?

If the phone doesn't get service with your sim card then you need to unlock it.

If the phone gets service/internet but you just can't tether then use foxfi. No root needed.

Root not required. If you have CWRM, you can simply flash the relevant zip file with the tethering fix.

I have an Evo V 4G (obviously) it's S-OFF (wire trick) and running the buttered toast kernel, I was on Paranoid Android 2.99 and I kept getting fc's, so I decided to try a few new ROMs, so I tried ViperROM for Sense 4.1, that froze in the boot animation, so I went into 4ext and wiped/flashed a new ROM, but in 4ext, when I hit "info" it still says ViperROM no matter how many times I've wiped it.

I've tried going back and forth retracing my steps and trying different ROMs, aroma installer set ups, and I have no clue.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
First suggestion would be to post in the right forum, which for this thread would be Q&A. I've reported it to the mods so they will move it for you.

If you are using 4EXT you should do a "format all partitions except sd card" in the wipe/format menu before flashing a ROM. Then make sure the the S-ON/Smartflash option is disabled in the tools menu, although that won't prevent your ROM from flashing correctly.

Try doing that and giving it plenty of time to boot after you flash it (10 minutes should be enough).
