I dont know if it will help but in Developer options i turn off window animation and transition animation
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
Yes, use SetCPU and run two different profiles. It seems to work best if you use wheatly for screen off (because wheatley goes into deep sleep faster) and use intellidemand when screen on. I typically don't UC my profiles, but I am still pulling 2 days of use with about 1.5 hours of screen time (on OEM battery).

Edit: I'm sorry, I run system tuner, not SetCPU.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] abraxo:
This phone is great except for two things: one is the locked bootloader (I think that's already fixed) and the other is that this camera is the worst I've ever had on any phone. Does anyone know any settings/apps/scripts/zip files to improve photo/video quality? I guess the speaker is rather quiet too but that's not too big of a problem
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
You should try reading through the subforms, considering you only "think" that the bootloader has been unlocked (by devs).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] abraxo:
There's a guide on how to unlock the bootloader only a few topics below me. Regardless, there's no topics on pictures

I've noticed setting the shot to "Night Mode" does help when using flash in the dark.. gets rid of the ugly yellowish tint.

I'm also very interested in finding if there's an app that will improve the photos on this phone. It's the only bad thing about it for me. I couldn't find anything useful on these forums.

Smart Shutter

Switch Camera Mode to Smart Shutter. This takes better pics, and the responsiveness is way faster.

Still trying to figure out a way to have that is the default setting.

Hi,

I've never posted here before because I've always been able to find info via searches up until this point, but it seems I am the only one who's had this problem?

THE PROBLEM:

I upgraded to JB 4.2 this morning on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I had CWM recovery. I've never had a problem with it before. I needed to re-root my device so I tried using the tool found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) and various other methods. None worked.

Furthermore, I noticed that every time I went into recovery it just showed the android lying on his back with a red error symbol above him. I tried re-flashing CWM recovery, then tried TWRP recovery, then even tried re-flashing stock recovery, and all of them give the same result.

Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me? I'm an app developer and I need to have my phone rooted (and I'd like to get the recovery sorted out too), but unfortunately I'm relatively noob when it comes to the inner workings of android.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djluis48:
How are you flashing the recoveries? Fastboot? I had to go back to 4.1, flashing latest recovery with fastboot, and then flash a custom/stock 4.2 using the recovery to achieve root on 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4977904:
Yeah I used fastboot, and I believe that toolkit uses it as well. Did you have the same problem as me?

How did your method work? Did 4.2 make changes to the fastboot, which is what you were getting around? I don't understand why that's a problem that other people don't seem to be having.
[HTC Sensation] nodstuff:
Hey guys, can anyone help with this situation?

My housemate got a sensation off eBay and it was working fine, he got an OTA notification and accepted it and it downloaded. Half way through the OTA he pulled the SD card out for some unexplainable reason.

After that it wouldn't go past the HTC splash screen and didn't even show the quietly brilliant part, just HTC over a white background.

The steps I have taken so far are:

Unlock BL

flash twrp

Wipe everything

Flash venom ROM (or whatever its called)

Then reboot.

Now we are still stuck on the same white splash screen.

I'm at a loss here as all my experience with android phones is with nexus devices (nexus s, gnex and N7) and a galaxy s3.

These are all pretty easy to fix if something stupid happens, in the case of the nexuses just fastboot flash factory image or the galaxy s3 can flash with Odin and then order is restored and all is well in the universe.

Is there such a magical tool available for the sensation or any other way to revive it?

TIA.

Nodstuff.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Flash the latest 3.33 RUU (3.33.401.153 for Sensation XE and 3.33.401.53 for Sensation). Be sure to put phone into bootloader before running the RUU :)
[HTC Sensation] nodstuff:
After doing a bit of reading myself I came across RUU's and they looked promising and now that you advise it as well I'm sure its the way to go so thank you.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trilap5e:
yes please! bump!

i too got to play with windows ce and all the fun apps that alpine stacked on my unit. all of which worked until a faithful reboot and now i can get any screen action unless i use the vol dwn pwr button method. i'm stuck. i use this in my truck quite often (mostly for the mp3 player and bluetooth functions) but i'm pissed i potentially bricked this piece. if only i had made a BACKUP! anyway. let's see if we can crack this case and get on with the fun stuff! (like miopocket 4.0)

edit: also when trying to apply the patch for the pmd b200p (which worked the first time) it now hangs at 26%... no idea...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnackMasterX:
Nothing like reviving an old thread, right? I just bought one of these on ebay and it's on the way right now. I think I found instructions on another site to get to the Windows CE environment for this device but can't confirm it without the device itself. I have an IVA-W505 and want to either force updated navteq maps to the device or better yet, replace the GPS application entirely. I hear the one alpine puts on there is rather buggy so I've been trying to find alternative options for GPS but want to make sure I can get some up-to-date maps. Also wanted to look into some cool applications and interfaces and see if maybe I can figure out how exactly it starts working when docked inside the alpine head unit. Too much to learn and sadly, not much experience trying to figure out how exactly a device works.

I've been collecting links for reference once I get the device, if anyone wants them let me know and I'll try to find them all and post them. I work from 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM EDT/GMT -4 so I can probably respond pretty quickly within that time frame but may respond a little slower outside that time frame.

If anyone has any suggestions for things I can do or requests for information I should try to collect please let me know, I am hoping to have the device by the end of next week :)

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

I found the instructions to access Windows CE (unconfirmed till I get my device to test) and put them below with the link I found them at:

http://gpsunderground.com/forum/alpine/3219-pmd-b200-nve-p1-unlock.html

If someone is able to test this, let me know if it works?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnackMasterX:
So after many attempts and further research I don't seem to be having much luck with accessing the Windows CE desktop on this device. I'm going to keep trying of course. Any suggestions for getting further toward getting any kind of unlock would be greatly appreciated :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trilap5e:
i used the update for the uk model to give me a boot option to load to windows ce instead of the nav software. i'm currently running navon (igo 8.3.5) for gps and it's working great! i'm currently trying to get bluetooth to work as it used to. sorry for such a vague post but if any of you are still tinkering with the blackbird please contact me! would love to share notes!

EDIT: Sorry guys, i won't be updating this with the new versions of android as my n7 broke. Sorry!

Hello people,

I made a zip file you can use to install stock android 4.2.1 on your nexus 7 using CWM

All downloads: HERE (Thanks to goo.im)

How to install:

Wipe data (may not be needed if you upgrade from stock)

Format /system

Install Zip

Reboot

Those zips contain the /system directory from a fresh 4.2.1 installation and the boot.img from the 4.2 factory image.

I removed recovery-from-boot.p

The rooted zip also includes SuperSU.

I will not include busybox, because scrosler already made it. Scrosler's thread

If you prefer Superuser instead of SuperSU, you can just install the official zip which you can find here. It will override SuperSU.

Addons/Extras/I don't care what it is called :p (can be installed in any ROM):

All extras are now hosted HERE (Thanks to goo.im for awesome hosting)

Extras info:

install_AOSP_browser_4_2_1-grouper.zip: This installs the AOSP browser in any ROM

deodex_zipalign_4_2_1-grouper.zip: This deodexes/zipaligns your ROM

odex_unzipalign_4_2_1-grouper.zip: This odexes/unzipaligns your ROM

clicking thanks would be nice... if you want...

Thanks to all that did!

Update: apparently if your rooted and have twrp installed it pick's it up and installs it no wipe/data needed also keeps root access
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mid-kid:
I think so. I actually made this for people with custom roms, so they don't have to flash the factory image.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] mercado79:
Seems fine to me. People just need to make sure to uncheck the "use accelerator" option and download it directly. It should be a .zip not an .exe. If you see that you've downloaded an .exe, you did it wrong.

On a side note... this download is wicked slow.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] viperv303:
It's no apps2sd, but it works for now with some draw backs. Honestly I'm looking forwards to getting the Apps2ExtSD2 working on these things. Seems a bit more stable and less confusing. I'll explain the confusing part in a sec...

Anyway, you can get the app and read all about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 and major thanks to slig for this! Send him some thanks as well if you like this!

Next, follow this guide, kindly written by bala_gamer for the S3; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889550

It basically tells you how to set the directories correctly so that it works with our phones and how to get started in setting up the directories.

I recommend moving the Android folder, the gameloft folder, and any other large directories, such as CoPilot maps.

Proof that it works...

If you do the math there... I have 10.95gb total and 8.14gb free meaning I'm only using 2.81gb of the internal storage... yet when you add up the applications and misc files you get a whopping 10.56gb. And as you can see, i've got some rather large games installed:

So far the phone hasn't given me any errors about being out of space. And note, my SD card says I'm using 18.28gb. I do have a few gb worth of music and misc files on it along with everything else. Oh, and the scandisk 64gb extreme card works perfectly in this phone, even when formatted to exFAT.

So far the one draw back I've found is that large games slow down a bit on the loading. For example, Nova3 starts up in a few minute vs <1 before this. I'm assuming this is attributed to the fact that while it's an "extreme" card, its still not as fast as the built in, plus there's probably a small lag due to the directory binding.

All my games still work like normal from what I can tell. Haven't tried every single one of them yet. But Nova3, and CoPilot work as if nothings changed (minus what I just mentioned about the slowness).

Now... the confusing part... so technically you do not have to pick the option to unbind when connected to usb. You can still browse the external and internal memory on your computer. BUT, while the space will show accurately, the folders will not. For example, if I goto /extsdcard/dirctorybinder/Android/ it only shows a few config files. If I goto /storage/Android/ it shows all the game files and says its 6gb+ in size.

You can avoid that by click the "handle usb connection". Then everything shows like it should. but this may cause a few issues if any apps are running that use a directory you moved. You could take the time and set each one up, one by one for only the large games that you need to move and know you wont normally use while plugged into the computer.

Hope this helps people who were suffering from the small storage space problem on these phones!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
This might be a "dirty reset hole" type freeze. I think the way out of that is to turn it on (even if it is frozen) and let the battery drain until it shuts off. That's the same as pressing the reset button, and should get you unstuck when you plug it back in.

My phone is rooted, but I dont think multi tasking was working before I rooted it. I read somewhere to multi task, long press the Back button in a app, but nothing happens when i do that. Ive tried long pressing the Home button too but it only displays Recently opened apps, not all the apps on my phone. How do I get multi tasking to work, this is a really big deal to me.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
You mean multi window. Multitasking works fine. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ghetto Geeksta:
I cant get Multi Tasking to work either? How do you Multi Task?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
Hold the home button
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
Seems like folks are asking for Multi Window functionality. Currently there is no official update that will deliver Multi Window (multi tasking) option. However, there are several custom ROM available that will allow you to use it. I personally use Jedi ROM and Multi Window works very well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ghetto Geeksta:
Nope, does not work for me, holding Home only brings up recently opened apps, not all apps on my phone. Why is this not working, could it be a setting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
I think you are confused as to what multitasking is. Multitasking is being able to quickly switch between open or recently opened apps. If you want to view all apps on your phone, you just open the app drawer by clicking the Apps button on your home screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
I think he is an ex Iphone user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ghetto Geeksta:
So I only can switch to open or recently opened apps? For example I cant switch from my internet browser to an app that is not open or recently open. I have to close my browser in order to open a app that has not been open recently?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ghetto Geeksta:
I always had Android phones but I do have a iPod touch 4g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
You could hit the home button and leave the browser running in the background. Open the other app, and if you want to switch back to your browser, hold the home button and click on the browser. You'll be exactly where you left off. Then if you want to switch back to the other app, do the exact same thing. Hold the home button and switch to it. You will be where you left off in that app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
Just asking... you don't mean multi window right? you really do mean multi tasking...? right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
He basically said neither was working for him. If you want multitasking, it works as I explained earlier. If you want multi-window, the only way to get it is through a custom ROM at the moment, or wait for the AT&T update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ghetto Geeksta:
Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
Basically hitting the back button will leave the current app running so you won't lose your place then open another app. THen you can hold the home button to switch back and forth between them (or other apps).

At this point I'm really considering rooting and flashing a custom ROM so I can take advantage the multi-window function (and get rid of AT&T bloat apps).
