[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rpmbnsf:
I find it hard to believe no 1 else is bothered by the fact that our galaxy note II does not include the group cast function in the AllShare app. Both the S 3 and galaxy note 10.1 has this feature built into the app.

I even fash the new nternational ROM onto my note II just to see if it would have the Group Cast function but it is still not there.

Is there any chance that this app could be replaced by the S 3 or note 10.1 one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MRBULLRED:
I noticed Group Cast on my wifes SIII but the only thing I see on the Note II is all share cast. I guess these two features are different, right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rpmbnsf:
Yes, Group Cast is a feature in AllShare Play that will allow your phone screen to display on another phone or device able to join a Group Cast..everyone can share what is on the screen. I have that feature on my Note 10.1 and, as you said, its on the S III but for some reason its not part of the function on the Note 2 app - I have no idea why they would have left it off.

I realize not many people use it, but in my family we all have Note 2 phones (and a few 10.1 tablets) and would love to use this feature with them all.

I posted on the S III forums asking if i were to side load the AllShare APK from the S III onto my Note 2 via TWRP would it work ? My hope is I can do that and overwrite the old AllShare APK on my Note 2 with the S III one that has that function built in. I do not think there is any hardware limitation on the Note 2 that would prevent it from working...

Anyone else know?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
i am interested too. i have the GN2 and my wife has the GS3 i was looking forward to this app. we have the allshare cast dongle going, but this would be cool too. samsung needs to ensure product compatibility with variety... that will slaughter apple

i used app share to send the allshare play apk from my wife's gs3 to my GN2. i then loaded this on my gn2 and it gave me a warning about changing a system file and i said ok. after the install i had allshare group cast. unrooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rpmbnsf:
Wow, you just made my day, been trying everything to get this to work on my Note 2! Never knew it was as easy as using AppShare. Thanks for the help!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] illa215:
Did yall get it to actually work using that method? I cant join my girlfriends GroupCast using her S3, just keeps searching
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MRBULLRED:
I cant even get an app to rip the apk from my wifes phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] illa215:
I typed in appshare in the playstore and used the first one that came up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MRBULLRED:
Thanks illa. I was abk es to install my wifes all share on my phone but they both just keep searching? Am I not doing this right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] illa215:
Yea i had the same problem, we might be missing some other files that are necessary, i dont know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
someone has to first start the group cast - to do this, go to the item you want to share. go to menu and then share file using groupcast... heck.. watch this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yBIxJ2gTT8

it works. i did it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
Wierd. It works but then later it seems to default back to the old one... trying to figure out out. Also my keyboard switched back to stock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MRBULLRED:
I went to Polaris office just like he did in the video and when I hit menu I do not get a group cast link at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
When i install the allshare play apk ripped from my GS3, i have a group cast option. However, for some reason it goes away as if the system is fixing itself. Need to check with other gn2 owners on other carriers to see if they have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
Also, the share option isn't in the menu after you open the file, you have to open it from the menu before you open the file. I am using Astro file manager.

Press and hold file you want to share. Then press menu

Press share

Select Group Cast

Enter pin code

So I can get it working, but not sure what causes the app to return to its stock state.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
At a tmobile store and happened upon their Galaxy note 2 and noticed that their model has group cast installed and running. Maybe someone with access to one can identify necessary files so that it can be ported from their rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srtpusher:
I have the apk from a galaxy s3 and it works perfectly until I reboot. I have not rooted yet, so I don't know if that would make it stick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
After trying out a few things, I seem to have found the right/working apk from the Tmobile rom(T889VVLALJ4). I installed on my note 2 then tested with my note 10.1 and it worked even after a reboot. Will play around a little bit more, so far I was able to start a cast with a picture and my note 10.1 was able to join successfully.

I uploaded the file here for those who want to test it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowonion:
Seems to work on my T999v and galaxy tab 2, thanks! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] offtohavasu:
Sorry if I'm late to the party, but I've been working all day trying to figure out Group Cast on my GSIII. What I have found, something close to what was already said, is in the recent AllPlay update, Group Cast is missing. If you have the previous version of AllPlay, it's there. So if you lost it, just uninstall the update.

What I haven't been able to find, is there a way to link a PC to GroupCast, or is it only to mobile device? Example, is there a way to play a PPT to my pc?

Happy New Year All!

Hey Guys,

I've dug around and can't find anything concrete so I'm going to post here. I found the kitchen and decided to use it instead of having to manually zipalign and deodex my apk files. However, when I go to modify my already modified rom(created via nandroid) using the kitchen no matter what I do(zipalign/deodex/boot anim) I always wind up with a bootable / working rom that does not have an IMEI.

Rolling back to a rom created via clockwork works fine.

What am I missing here?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Seems to me that your imei my be wiped. You may need to nvflash restore your imei. That's if you were aware enough to have backed it up. Search on here and you'll find a thread on backup/restore on imei's.

I'm just sayin!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osbosb:
I think you missed me saying "rolling back to a previously backed up rom works fine" - better said "my IMEI is restored when i roll back to my backed up rom so I think I am doing something wrong when using the kitchen."
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Yes i did missed that. My bad!

I'm just sayin!

BUMP!

[G2 and Desire Z General] Sechzman:
I love my Desire Z but it's getting old and slow. I noticed that many cool new qwerty phones are being released in the USA like the Motorola Photon Q and the new Samsung galaxy Relay. Here in Europe, phones work with sim cards. I could be wrong in this, but I noticed that all these new phones have their sim-card soldered on the board, so I couldn't use it with my own provider if I wanted to.

Are there currently any worthwhile qwerty Android phones (at least a good dual core) out there or coming soon that have a SIM card slot?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Warbuff:
The galaxy relay is GSM and has a sim slot
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sechzman:
Sweet! I see it has been rooted, as well. I'll pick one up next time I'm in the States.

Make sure to check the bands so you'll know if it runs on your carrier

I want to know that the official cm10 has any bugs??

On cm website they call it stable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
The best way to know would be to read their thread (last few pages and OP) as well as trying it for yourself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeCastellon:
Not entirely sure if it's related to CM, but only on the latest stable (10.0) I've had issues with my WiFi not wanting to stay connected, even on a strong connection.

Everything else works great!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinggame992000:
I use it right now. It seem stable
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashi32:
I just installed it yesterday. Problem with mine was that the ASOP keyboard not working. Luckily I just dled teh swiftkey.apk a day earlier. Play store wasn't working for me either and the browser just open and close. That's all i tried. I'm going back to CM9 til I know whats wrong and back up some data.

I installed the stable cm10 and the gapps. Hope others dont run in to the same problem as me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Did you restore your apps or app data? That would most likely cause this problem. Or flashing the wrong gapps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashi32:
No, once I got cm10 installed. I was trying to change some of the settings and found "keyboard(ASOP) stopped working" or some error message along the line of that when I try to enter wireless password. After installing swiftkey, I tried opening play store and it just have "server error"

So I haven't gotten to getting titanium backup yet to restore apps

I just took the latest gapps (the first link on the list), so I'm not sure if that's the right one. I'll try again during the weekend. I'll let you guys know if it goes well. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
I'm on CM 10 latest stable build, 4.1.2. Came from GB kk4 plus corn 7 kernel. with latest gapps. I use touchpal keyboard.

I have TiBU pro, but rather than batch install apps, I went though google play to install apps, then selectively restored data on apps with TiBU as needed. While this took some time with this approach (96 apps), CM10 is flawless, virtually no probs at all. it actually seems more stable than before.

at times a little laggy but not a showstopper.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashi32:
UPDATE: Just flashed to CM10 stable. I found out that the GAPPS I used last time was actually for CM10.1.0 while the CM10 that is out is only CM10.0.0

Be sure to get the right version of GAPPS. The latest one they have is for CM10.1.0

Looks like I'm the unlucky one den. I'm about to try again. I'm using cm's 3.0.8-g2311908 kernel.

Wish me luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
you are correct, you want the 10.0.0 version from goo, which points to gapps 4.2, backward compatible to 4.1.

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

thats what I used. I guess the 4.2 set the 'latest' bit in my brain.

Or download it on PC / Laptop and transfer over to phone and do it that way.

reflash the ROM or extract the boot animation files from it and place them in the /system /media folder (or wherever the bootanimation is) then reboot :)

or download absolute system tools ( i think thats its name) and let that replace your boot animation for ya !

[HTC Sensation] wildcardspv:
Hi,

I'm trying to get my sensation to take pics by using the volume keys instead of using the onscreen button, as it's way more preferable.

I'm running sense 3.6 (latest Elegancia) as for me it seems faster and better on battery life than sense 4 ROMs.

So far, the only thing I've found to do is this:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...r-button-camera-root-required-n00b-proof.html

Which works, but then the volume buttons no longer work to adjust the volume at all. It looks like button remapping apps have the same problem too.

In the current Viper ROMs, they have managed to tweak things so that the volume keys work as the shooter in the camera app, but still work as volume keys when the camera is not being used. They even managed to get vol- to swich to video recording.

It must be possible to do this on sense 3.6 as well, surely?

:confused: Can anyone offer any help with regard to this please? :confused:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
Hi guys,

I have question regarding my HTC Desire Z .. Ever since I rooted the phone about 1.5 years ago, and have been trying out the newer ROMs, I've slowly realized that my phone is getting slower, slower, and slower .. I'm currently using a Jellybean ROM, and its *extremely* slow ! I mean, at times I receive a call, and the ringer rings about 5-6 times, and during all this time, the phone doesn't have the juice to switch to the phone app, so that I can 'accept' the call ! Ultimately the call disconnects itself!

A friend recently suggested to me that maybe the newer ROMs are two powerful for my phone, and that I need to move to an older Android version ROM, which my Desire Z CAN handle, without this much lag !

Also, I hardly have any apps installed on my phone at all, in an attempt to keep the load low .. I also use 'Advance Task Killer' regularly to kill background apps, but it doesn't really improve anything ..

What can I do to improve the speed of my phone !? I really pisses me off to see a 10-15 second lag when I call someone ! :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Get rid of the task killer first of all...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_gkal:
i own desire z. installed flinnys 128 (jb) and everything works EXTREMELY smooth! no lag!!!!

just try it!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
Task Killer is not the issue, as I only installed it the other day .. The condition was same before as well ..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
I dont think it will make any difference .. I've tried many different ROMs, and its always the same condition with all ... Sometimes my phone become *so* unresponsive that I just feel like smashing it on the ground ! (When I

really

get upset!)

Also, on another note, when I open Advanced Task Killer, it shows me the amount of free RAM on the top .. Most of the times this value is between 60 MB ~ 100 MB, and sometimes between 100 MB ~ 140 MB .. If never seen this value go above 135 MB or so ... And Desire Z is supposed to have 512 MB of RAM :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_gkal:
just full wipe and reflash the rom
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
If I do that, it will initially be fast .. Even if I install all my apps on the first day, it will still be okay in terms of speed ... But give it a week, it eventually becomes slow .. very slow! .. And the odd thing is, during this week, I don't necessary install/uninstall anything .. the phone just ****s itself in somehow ... And then from then on, it remains slow, no matter what ...

I open Google Maps, takes like 15 seconds to open .. takes another 60 seconds to go to Google Navigation, and then further lags after that ..

Basically there's a lag in *everything* !

Is there a way I can see

what

is slowing down the phone ?!

Also, is it true or not whether an older phone, such as Desire Z, can or cannot handle a relatively newer Android version ROM ? Maybe this is why the latest Android versions are NOT officially available for phones many times, because the manufacturer knows the device cannot handle that newer Android version ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If your rom supports ext partitions, make sure all of yours are formatted that way. Chances are you have sopme bad apps, a logcat may hedlp determin abused wake locks or memory leaks. Also you can try downloading battery batt stats or watchdog for more infor
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PNuT.:
i had a play with elitemod ics the other day & it was defiantly slower than the GB version... it was using more or less double the ram which i suspect is the real problem.....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkyG82:
Yes its true the newer versions are more hungry. We touched on it in one of the andromadus threads recently. I believe the issue to be the cpu. The nexus s has the same amount of ram as us and although its not as good on there as the gnex, its still good. Having bumped my lower cpu limit a notch, its much better. I also tried a few upper limits and found that 1200 to be best as it suffers with animation under that.

But then all dz's are different. Stay on your rom and bump up the lower limits a few clicks and let us know what you think.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Authorita:
I've noticed the slowdowns happening with negligible CPU load and no memory constraints. I suspect a problem with the kernel. At the times it happens, the phone seems to be just doing *nothing*.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
Is there any other thing I can try apart from logcat ? I installed Watchdog a few hours ago, but so far it hasn't reported anything out of the way ..

What does have ext partitions do ? How does that speed up the OS ?

Also, I'm probably going to be re-flashing another ROM soon, so please suggest me a ROM ... I'm looking for maximum longterm stability and responsiveness here, so even if a ROM isn't the newest or the most feature-filled, I can still try it out ..

And what is Superwipe (read it in another thread) ?

Normally, when I restore stuff after installing a ROM, I download a fresh copy of the app from the Store, and only restore the app's data using titanium .. is this okay ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
For the sake of starting fresh, flash the ext 4 recovery and flash mimicry as your rom. Read all suggestions in the first few post on mimicry, to flash 4ext I made a thread, you'll find it the first page or so in the general section (dzhboot or something)

Mimicry is one of the best made best performing full featured ics roms for our phones, partitioning everything to 4ext (easily done through recovery) will make it far better. Other bonus tweaks will be added in.

There (in my opinion) are beter performing gingerbread roms, but I do sugest mimicry as it is amazing and the dev has laid out a wealth of knowledge in the first few posts
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
I'm assuming you're referring to this thread: http://www.xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1714187

Well this is the ROM I'm currently using, which I flashed about 2 months ago, which is giving me all these performance issues ..

I went through the first few pages, but I didn't find any instructions on 4EXT ... The only thing I found was in the OP's FAQ in the start, which said that you should apply ext by downloading 4ext from Play Store, if you get lags ..

Anywhere else I can look ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Look in general section, somewhere in the first page I posted a thread called dzhboot on g2 or something to that extent, one of the first few posts I eplain how to flash 4ext recovery.

One of the fastest roms I have used is elitemod cm7, maybe try that
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexnh:
I have been wondering the same as the OP. I have been using andromadus and andromadus mimicry roms for the past few month. I tired cm9 unofficial but it was no different to mimicry in terms of lag. Currently on flinny's jb beta http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2005136. Lag is not terrible but too often I am looking at a white screen waiting for something to happen.

I often experience lags opening apps like phone and browser (any browser). Phone hanging when trying to make a call is particularly annoying because my wife asks "why is your phone so ****?"

I would love to have a really smooth experience like others report but even with a fresh wipe I seem to have trouble. When I try to reduce the process limit i still seem to have too many processes running. What should i look for in logcat in terms of tracking down the problem?

Maybe 4ext will sort it out? I am very loathe to go back to a cm7 rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shady503403:
Ext4 worked really well for me to speed up my phone.. I highly recommend it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarroyo:
It's gotta be a certain app your installing thats hogging all your memory, I been running mimicry ever since blk released it n have had very few slowdowns.

Never had a problem receiving/making calls 'wiping' is not the same as 'superwiping' its different then just the name, I suggest you do some reading up before flashing any more roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexnh:
i superwipe, and i've been flashing roms since the g1. I am not seeing any particular process hogging resources. this current jb beta is pretty good but still get some lagging at random.

if that were the case I would love to try and find out what it is.

it seems to me that a minority of users report lags in rom threads and are dismissed without ever really getting to the root of the problem.

I would really like to try and get to the bottom of it. I am going to move to ext4 but if there are other troubleshooting steps to take I am all ears.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Ext4 alone will make a huge difference, and most of the rest of the slow downs will be do to apps/running services which can be seen with a logcat what is continually trying to use cpu resources

If only a minority report slowdowns then either that minority has a different idea of how the phone should run/ they use the phone in a completley different way/ or have different settings and apps then most have.
