[Motorola Droid 4] daoist:
It looks like the droid4 oem moto car dock attaches to the base with a ball joint. Can someone who has one disassemble it (should just be able to unscrew the tightening ring) and measure the diameter of the ball?

Also, can you post some pictures of the dock from the back? It's possible that the dock clips onto the ball somehow, rather than having that part built-in. I'd like to know that if possible.

I'd like to put together a permanent installation dock for my wife's d4 for christmas, but I can't find any pictures of the back to see how this hooks up. So I have no idea what adapter to buy.

Alternatively, anyone have any luck with any other docks (d4-specific if possible, I hate those big ugly universal clamp docks) and can tell me how those mount?

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know where I can download IceColdSandwich 8.4? I have previously use this and it seems to be the best ICS ROM for my phone.

Thanks

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
There is no link for 8.4. Just 8.8. I'm assuming you know this though. If you really want the older version you should probably ask the dev since it may be inappropriate for someone to supply a link for someone else's work. Maybe lordclockan wouldn't mind but I would start with him.

Greetings XDA,

Ive recently got me a GN (yakju) (couldn't wait for N4) and wait to get updated to 4.2. Now i run 4.2 and i want to unlock its boot loader & root it.

Not yet interested of having new roms on it, im cool with its stock android BUT i need to get full control of my device and not being restricted on apps that don't need root.

In case you want to ask me WHY i just didn't follow any of the guides for rooting nexuses in the forum, the answer is because im not sure which is the best/easiest/newest/safest

Im not very familiar with such staff i want to make is as simple as it gets and avoid breaking my phone (if thats even possible).

So please can you assist me to take this first android steps ?

Thanks in advance ;)

Hi, welcome to the GNex and the possibilities with it. I have had my GNex since Jan 2012 and it was rooted 2 weeks later. I'm sure if you search in XDA you find lots of help on rooting. However I started out with the www.galaxynexusforum.com forum and followed the unlocking and rooting by Wug.

Assuming you have a verizon GNex here is what you should follow

Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.0 [Updated 11/26/12]

It is a nice tool installed on a windows pc or laptop and I have used it to do my GNex and also another one from a friend about 6 month after mine.

Works great and i think if you follow these thread you are rooted in no time.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] equilibriumgr:
I have the GSM nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] equilibriumgr:
Ok its unlocked now, preparing to root.

I just got 1 more final question, considering i will not flash any other rom or such, with my device ONLY unlocked & rooted, will i be able to get OTA updates from now on or i will have to flash myself ? (also do i need Custom Recovery ? what does it do ? :) )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tincbtrar:
You dont need a tool to unlock...you just need adb and fastboot.

Ensure ADB Debugging is enabled.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

At this point you can push a custom recovery to your phone - I think there are recoveries now that support 4.2.

After flashing the custom recovery, boot into it and flash your superuser.zip

Lol...thats it.

I think you can still get OTA's but you will lose root. I suppose if the OTA was that important, you can relock the device (you will lose data) and then OTA up to the newest version and unlock again.

If you have a GSM device you are lucky, because the factory images are pretty plentiful. On Verizon CDMA we only have 4.1.1 (and because of this I only use 4.1.1 stock).

I had to relock and unroot on Tuesday because of a SIM card issue - didnt want Verizon knowing it was rooted. Came home and unlocked and rerooted all over again. Took about 10 minutes total.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] equilibriumgr:
After OTA 4.2.1 root is lost. Do i need to repeat the process to re-root ?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
Long time Continuum and Fascinate user. Just got the Verizon GS3 Yesterday. Spent way too much time reading a million different threads and doing a million different google searches. Figured I'd just ask my questions in one post and be done with it.

On my previous Galaxy S phones I loved everything about CM9 and AOKP except that losing TouchWiz meant the camera took a major step backwards. The battery life also wasn't quite as good as the stock ROMs. Ultimately I couldn't take being stuck on Gingerbread any longer so I went full time to AOKP and lived with the fact that my HD videos no longer looked anywhere near as good.

I can't even find but one thread on a different website that seems to refer to AOKP for the Verizon GS3 and it was only 6 pages of posts so that gives me great pause.

My questions are these.

Are there significant trade-offs ditching TW-based ROMs and going to CM10 or AOKP? If so, what is lost by ditching TouchWiz that is of value?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
I switched from stock to AOSP and then tried using some TW-based ROMs on 4.1.1 such as CleanRom, LeanMeanJellyBeanMachine, etc. and I always end up switching back to AOSP. Currently, my favorite AOSP ROM is LiquidSmooth as I really like the customizations I can make with the ROM and how most things work. However, here are some differences between AOSP vs TW-based ROMs in a nutshell:

1. AOSP ROMs support for 4.2 camera is buggy currently. You have to touch the middle section to focus before you take a picture or it force closes where as TW-based ROMs do not have this problem with the 4.2 camera.

2. AOSP ROMs have more free RAM available than TW ROMs.

3. AOSP ROMs seem to be more customizable. The only example I can give of this is setting the clock along with AM/PM and the day (such as mon, tue, etc.) on the homescreen. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think there are more customizations on the lock screen as well.

4. I've heard that TW based ROMs are generally more stable than AOSP ROMs simply because AOSP wasn't originally designed for the Samsung Galaxy S 3 but somebody just hacked it up and ported it over so that it'd work on it.

5. This is not really major but AOSP/CM10 ROMs turn off the screen similar to how an old TV set used to turn off while TW-based ROMs have no special animation for the screen turning off so that's a plus for AOSP where it has a cool animation for turning off the screen.

6. I personally like the default launcher for AOSP better than TW but you can always install a different launcher for TW.

I hope this helps clarify AOSP ROMs vs TW based ROMs for you a little bit and please remember to thank me if it helped you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dante020:
In general, I would prefer AOSP except for the fact that it seems to get worse reception. Also when the signal is poor AOSP seems to handle data connections less gracefully. Seeing as I'm often in poor reception areas, I always find myself going back to TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Touchwiz is superior to aosp on the s3 and probably any other future samsung devices. Even kejar who was a main dev for aokp said he will most likely build a modded touchwiz rom for the note2, thats how much touchwiz has improved from the fascinate days.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

That being said im not bashing aosp...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
Can you provide any reasons why you would prefer Touchwiz to AOSP though? Saying Touchwiz is superior without giving any reasons seems to be a vague and subjective statement in my opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
I love the innovative features that Touchwiz brings that AOSP doesn't. Small things like Smart Stay, Motion Controls, and Slide to Text/Call keep me to love TouchWiz. Not only are the features great, but performance wise, it's great too. Samsung obviously optimized the hell out of the ICS builds of TouchWiz and did so with Jelly Bean too. Speed on TouchWiz is pretty much the same with any high quality AOSP rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
The S3 is an extremely powerful phone and TW is very light (e.g. much lighter compared to Sense). The result is that the traditional benefits of AOSP (faster phone, more space, responsive) don't really apply.

Samsung also includes special codecs for the video player which only work with TW. Use a custom launcher and you have 90% of the benefits of a custom rom.

The TW launcher, camera, video and music players are IMO all very high quality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyroemaniac:
I'd say touch wiz since miui isn't the most stable/bug free. Samsung out did themselves with the new touch wiz, they added slide hand across screen for screen shot, pop out video player, smart stay (screen stays on as long as you're looking at it), when viewing contact/message you can bring the phone to your ear and it will automatically begin calling said contact. Flip to mute sound, slide to call, built in notification settings toggles( airplane, WiFi, data, etc.) And that is just to name a few of the features.

Here is a link on a couple http://www.androidcentral.com/top-10-things-you-need-know-about-your-galaxy-s-iii
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
Yes. I am actually fine with TouchWiz on my phone. This phone is freaking ridiculously fast. TouchWiz is just so hideous. After running aokp for several months on the phone I just upgraded from it's just kind of disappointing to see how Samsung has hijacked the notification curtain and made it look so awful. They also somehow stripped some functionality out of it. On aokp for my Fascinate you could minimize and maximize notifications. That was a feature added in Jelly Bean that isn't present in this leaked JB build apparently.

Most of the TouchWiz feature are neat but I wouldn't miss them. The camera and battery life are critical though.

I walk much prefer AOSP email, dialer,and SMS apps.

Basically if I could keep this TW build but add every element of AOSP I want I'd be happy.

Am going to be interested in MHL mirroring eventually too. I assume if I wanted to mirror my Dish network feed to a TV the only way the digital rights have a chance of being ignored it would be on AOSP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spearoid:
Well I found a thread allowing me to install AOSP Email in place of the vision-impaired crappy email app of TouchWiz.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962097

This helps tremendously. No success yet finding a way to get JB dialer/phone/contacts working on a TW ROM but that would be tremendous.

Hello,

I've installed the sound enhancement I've done with the S2, i.e. acid audio engine, noozoxide rewire, with slim bean rom, the walkman music app sounded awesome.

Although my note 2 is running stock , I've tried diferent combination of the acid audio engine, and noozoxide, the stock music player, sounded bright with sol republic headphone. I tried the maven music player it improved a bit. But not in par with the S2.

I read that the note 2 should have sounded better, because it has the wolfson DAC, maybe good sound quality is subjective.

What are you guys doing to in terms of sound enhancements?
