After owning 3 other moto phones I kinda got this this phone as is not expecting any updates
[RAZR i General] :
Well, 4.1 is coming within a few weeks.

And our phone is capable of the panorama camera from 4.2 but I hope 4.2 doesn't land TBH because IMHO it sucks big time. 4.1 is the best Android yet, 4.2 brings stuff I don't want (like those annoying lockscreen widgets for example).
[RAZR i General] ChrisMarkwell0807:
hmm,

im excited for the panorama camera but i reckon the lockscreen widgets will be rather interesting, and im sure(considering it is android) that the developers will make the widgets optional so they shouldnt be an issue anyway!
[RAZR i General] CentaXx:
I haven't seen the panorama camera live but let me tell you one thing:

I tried several apps that can do panorama pictures. But NONE of it could even get close to desktop tools such as Microsoft ICE (Image composite editor). You just drag a bunch of pictures in it, and make sure they overlap, and let it do it's job. You can even convert videos to panoramas, when used correctly.

It may be more effort, but if you want to do GREAT panorama pictures with basically no effort, this should be your choice. In quality you can't get much better. It does work better with optical zoom though as you can maximize your resolution without losing quality ...
[RAZR i General] tiagootirb:
I believe intel is working to improve Jb to make better use of your cpu.
[RAZR i General] :
It IS optional to have the lockscreen widgets but the fact that they're pushing it by just swiping to the left or right doesn't make me excited about it. On the unlock screen I just want the time, date and the option to unlock my phone (and optionally the mute switch like Motorola did and optionally some status icons like missed calls or something but again: optional). That is what a lockscreen should be to me.

Bro, go and take a look first on how Android 4.2 does the panaromic shots. It really is superb compared to those crap apps from the Play Store.
[RAZR i General] iammodo:
I agree with that even 4.1 did a stunning job on my gnex
[RAZR i General] ChrisMarkwell0807:
aha yeah, that is a fair point about the panoramas actually, i uesd to do these with an older camera,

yeah the lockacreen things may be a bit over the top.

im currently running cm9 on zte blade, and i have bought the razr i, but im not allowed to use it untill chrismas..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkinnyT:
I'm due for an upgrade from my Incredible 2, which was an awesome phone with some really great devs cooking up some badass roms. I guess my question is do I switch to the gnex, which is free, or go for the sgsIII?

I need a solid device with decent battery and it's used mostly for communication. No games or anything.

Having to give up my unlimited data is making me leary about switching to any phone.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmoore0965:
With basic use, anything around these days will pretty much last you a solid work day, and home play time. Regarding the consideration of the nexus, if you can handle the shipping chaos right now, I'd just get the n4. I'm assuming you have a gsm carrier. Same price, longer life. Big picture all around, I'd wait to upgrade. A15's are here, and they're going to dominate the bar for standard in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tincbtrar:
Came from the same phone three weeks ago.

I dont regret it at all. I bought mine off contract so I kept my unlimited data and only paid 160 new.

The phone is way more responsive with little to no bloat, and best of all, the development is based off source and not ports.

Battery life isnt as good but thats because its a 4g phone and the screen is WAY better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Buy either a GNex or a SGS3 off contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkinnyT:
Where did you find it for that price?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
The Galaxy S3 is better than the Gnex in pretty much every way. I just don't like the design. You can't go wrong with the handset that sold more than any other handset and that would be the S3.

More users = more community.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
LG Nexus 4 obviously is the best right now if you need a new phone, but for someone like me who already owns a galaxy nexus it isn't worth upgrading to a N4 as it runs the same JB 4.2.1 OS with the exact same jellybean features an just as smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkinnyT:
How do you guys find the radio and wifi reception on this phone? I've read a lot of mixed reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
Every phone will have mixed reviews. I personally came from the htc inspire to a nexus, and have experienced less signal losses in my common areas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackcrap:
LG N4 all the way if you can get one. Or get a used gnex on craigslist. Easy to handle if you are a ROM freaky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I don't have the Nexus 4, but I had the S3 and Galaxy Nexus twice, between the three choices, I'm figuring:

S3 advantages:

-best front and rear camera

-best battery life

-best rear speaker

-microsd expansion

disadvantage:

-poorest built quality of the three

-will not get direct Google updates and stock android experience (unless you use custom rom of course, which still isn't compared to the quick updates and the variety of quality roms of the Nexus)

-physical/capacitive buttons (yes its a disadvantage, I said it)

If you have to ask me, I sold the Galaxy Nexus to buy the S3, then sold it and repurchased the Galaxy Nexus despite the benefits of the S3. So there is your answer. Also a used Galaxy Nexus are very cheap now.

Also you are asking in a Nexus forum, so the answer is will be the Nexus, as opposed to asking in the S3 forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Either of the two would be great. The main thing the Gnex(on Verizon) has on the SGSIII is that we get our Roms made from AOSP source.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennj99:
I am sticking with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus they sent me for free in June.

The Nexus4 is not an option for Verizon customers and my GNexus is very nice even on stock 4.1 Jellybean. Not really sure 4.2.1 would be a real improvement.

It would be cool to play with a sgs3, maybe, but no rush. They are bound to get a lot cheaper if they really last long enough and if I never upgrade via Verizon again I can keep my unlimited data for at least the next year and a half...hopefully longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
It's real and improved, I'm using it right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkinnyT:
I do flash a lot of different roms, and having ones built from source is awesome. My dinc2 is now running JB bit with a hacked GB kernel. The dev who cooked most roms I use, Aeroevan, is a genius and is now making sgs3 ones as well. That being one reason I may go that route. The nexus seems more feasible though. Especially if I can pick one up and still keep my unlimited data. I only use about 800mb/month because I always on wifi, but I don't want to give it up. Thanks for all the tips so far.

Also, being that so many people have the sgs3, I posted this here hoping that I'd get the advice of people that were a little more experienced with their phones and the capabilities outside of what's sold to them from the provider.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ronnie_1712:
on a purely hardware basis, there is no doubt the GS3 is better. GNex will only have more AOSP ROMs, but better hardware on GS3 + tons of users and a very active dev community = it will last longer. I say this as a GNex owner :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costarricenze:
Just until GS4 comes around, then the exodus will begin exactly as is happening with Gnex. I recently bought my Gnex just because GN4 was sold out, and I'm still trying to find what real benefits could I gain with these phone vs the Gnex. Better camera? It's a cellphone cam, every cellphone camera sucks big time (aberrations, noise, and so on...). More CPU, well I compare these with Windows X64 5 or 6 yrs ago, when there wasn't programs that could work with 64 bits, there are not apps using a quad core or using 2gb ram, but however, I don't know if i need to sell my recent purchase and upgrade (if it is) to a G4, just to see how in 3 months Samsung announces a new galaxy, or Sony, or anybody else.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 6stringandy:
Anything to download?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] juan272:
any chance to port the rom to GSM version :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
!

will be shortly, DSL is not kind to me LOL

as far as a gsm version i could try but without a GSM razr i'd need testers once i get the rest of my build env in full force
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nandeh:
Is possible have some screenshots? I'm sure you'll get testers easily around here :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Guys, just wait for the Release and let's see if it can be flashed by using the GSM Patch...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
file size is a result of the tools used, whereas my tool set is no 100% yet, i used what i could with the hardware i have to compensate untill i pick up my dev rig. and imagine the stock was around 200-215 before i started adding stuff lol, the next versions and packs will help with the other stuff i need to work on, trust me you guys will like what i have in store for you guys!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
it does not work with stock based gsm patch
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Then I must have done something wrong ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
wich one did you use to do such a mess? :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Just the regular stock based patch and flashed with BMM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
I used SS3 and the regular stock based gsm patch

http://www.mediafire.com/?y5ajlb1yrnvnf4o

The phone booted, but I had no signal. Maybe another patch?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
hey guys quick update, had last min lil bugs and things to finish on SPARTAN, just finished, been working on it throughout the day, and now uploading to be released tonight, will update OP when done!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
where is the gsm patch? will infuse it and make seperate GSM links so you guys can have your ready versions :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
link is live!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BADDINOROX99:
I love blur based roms....it allows me to take the best features and apps out and put them in my stock rom....Google now works great so does voice typing with data off thank you :)

Sent from my XT912
[Motorola Droid RAZR] N1ghtr08d:
Fyi this tomorrow works great on my raze maxx running a 308 kernel. The only issue I've had is I can't get the circles widget working. I tried the fix by moving the apks but my phone wouldn't boot. It just stayed on the splash screen with the Droid eye and wouldn't go any further.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
@Dev: If you want to get the Circle Widgets to work you need to unpack the Homescreen.apk and copy its lib files to /System/lib .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] N1ghtr08d:
Any way to make the weather work with the circles widget using this method ? I unpacked the lib files and copies them and it works but I can't set a location because it says the weather app isn't installed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
links

uploading a fixed spartan now will update OP when its completed, then will fix MAXX, sorry for the delay guys, the day after the party had me temporarily debilitated lol :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] monkteo:
which patch , can you put a link?

thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Olao99:
When connecting the phone in usb mass storage mode, is everything normal?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
i'd also like to get the patch for the gsm, so i can bake it in and have GSM versions as well
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Just download it from my thread [GSM Patch for CDMA ROMs]. just give me a small line of credits :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
I wish I knew which one to click lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
new link for a spartan 1.1 fixed link is live on OP!

working on some magic for MAXX and the unveiling of the next two roms of my lineup
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
bugfix 1.1 of both roms have been uploaded and links in the OP, sorry for the 1.0 blunder! will unveil other two rom's as pace dictates, hopefully within the next two days along with other ideas and stuff for the other roms :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
whole lot of good reading on the OP added! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
Sorry for the mess up of versions, it's pretty much the same reason as when I come across a issue and then have 5 copies of the zip. And making sure I'm working with the right ones, same with the credits and making sure all very the props deserved for all their work that had allowed me the ability to mod and cook an awesome rom for all from all that I have learned from mods and breaking and fixing things and learning how to rework it all together into the best rom I can

Like This

many updates to OP
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr4r4n:
btw HD based files removed as baking them in always seemed to brake something, will incude add ons of them later on as i figure out fixes
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hakarune:
what works, and what's broken; any bugs...?
[HTC Droid DNA] J3ck3l:
I noticed that upon connecting via USB, Windows mounts 2 drives:

HTC Sync Manager

CDROM - Verizon wireless applications

How would I go about removing these? I know the space used isn't that substantial (~20mb). This is just an annoyance.

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
If I'm correct, when those pop up in the Top-right, it asks you what you want the computer to do... should be able to select "do nothing"

unless you mean you don't want it showing up in the "my computer" window, with your other storage devices, in which case, I'm not sure lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] Goldeneye877:
If you are unlocked, these two things can be deleted while booted into recovery.

CDROM is located at /system/etc/CDROM.iso

as for sync manager, if I remember correctly, this is located in /system/app but i forget the exact name. it wasn't hard at all to spot.
[HTC Droid DNA] J3ck3l:
Awesome! I guess I could have spent some more time snooping around in recovery, but I'm always afraid I'm gonna wreck it.

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
I'm think that the file you are referring to is AndroidHtcSync.apk located in /system/app
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
While removing these is good to do, it won't reclaim the space for anything usable, such as additional sdcard space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meanwhile:

I managed to hack into a few extra symbols into the keymap on my sk17i.

Note, I only tested this on cm9 flavours. I have no idea if it works on other ROMs. Also, this is for the swedish layout.

You need to overwrite a few files in system. I recommend either making a clockwork mod zip, or use a root file explorer, or the terminal if you are a geek.

[Asus Transformer TF700] DLCPhoto:
I just noticed that when I view my website, Chrome doesn't seem to be using the full resolution of the tablet. Let me explain.

When I look at the 660x440 pixel images on my Desktop (Viewsonic VX2450, 1920x1080 resolution), these take up a relatively small portion of the screen, and I can see the entire image without scrolling. But when I view it on my Asus Infinity, which runs the same 1920x1080 resolution, the same 660x440 pixel image is much larger - the portrait orientated shots cannot be fully seen without scrolling, indicating that the vertical resolution is not 1080 pixels, for all practical purposes.

I have the "Desktop Requested" option selected, and I don't see any other settings to effect how Chrome displays its pages.

Am I missing something basic here, have something not set-up properly, or is this just the nature of the beast? FWIW, this works the same in the stock browser as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tyler27:
I feel the same way about chrome

try using different browsers

i think that the Maxthon browser is the best when it came to viewing images

they have a version made just for tablets
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Same here with chrome.

I don't understand what's going on with it.

A lot of people rave about chrome.

Been using it trying figure out how it works.

Settings are minimal, web pages in Android won't zoom normally.

I agree about Maxthon or just about any other browser.

Features are much better in most other choices.

(*the TF700T has a resolution of 1920 by 1200)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
I can't say I have noticed this myself by haven't tried a direct test. Have you tried looking at the browser settings for default zoom level? Possibly one or the other is displaying not at 100% zoom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] DLCPhoto:
I appreciate the replies.

I have looked, but can't find any setting that would effect zoom or scaling, or something along those lines. Putting "chrome://chrome/settings/" into the address bar, which works on the desktop version of chrome, doesn't provide access in the android version ("this webpage is not available").

Guess I'll play around with some other browsers and see what I can find. I've heard/read good things about Boat and Dolphin; will have to check out Maxthon as well.

I just was curious about this, since it was unexpected - I would have assumed that the full 1920x1080 resolution would be taken advantage of by either the stock or the chrome browser, but apparently not...

Any other thoughts appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
*note

The Infinity's res is 1920x1200

I know I know I'm a know it all :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
The other options I have just thought of is that I have not had a great deal of look with Chrome and requesting the desktop version of a website, even if you tick to get the desktop, I still get the mobile version. I mainly use the stock browser as you can default it to displaying desktop version (amongst other things). Or possibly, if you're using a different way of accessing the internet (wifi vs a 3G connection) the website may be delivering the content differently? I know that mobile operators in the UK used to scale down images/compress them over their connections, although I don't think they do this anymore. Just a thought...
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Switch your desktop OS to 240 dpi and then compare again. Browsers for high res screens usually zoom images because otherwise they would be far too tiny and out of proportion with the text.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DLCPhoto:
Thanks for the reply.

Is it possible to change the DPI on a stock, unrooted Infinity tablet? I did a quick search and found LCD Density Modder that can do this, but it requires root. I can't find any 'conventional' settings on the device that will allow this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, you need a custom kernel for that. Maybe it's possible to just find another browser where you can zoom out further.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
You cannot change DPI on a fully stock TF700. Furthermore, although I can't find the reference at the moment, I have a vague memory of someone reporting in here after bricking their 700 with LDC Density Modder - I refrained from using it for that reason myself. (I haven't dared trying it, even with the Pro version I paid for for my SGS2... Sorry!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] DLCPhoto:
Thanks.

I forgot to mention that I did try the Maxthon Browser - its settings do give you the option to change the default zoom (far, medium, close). But when I select "far" it does properly display whatever page I have open at less zoom, but then when I go to other pages, it reverts back to the usual medium setting (even though the settings menu itself still shows it on the "far" setting). So it's a poorly implemented, buggy feature, and I just uninstalled it. Haven't tried Boat or Dolphin yet.

It's not a huge issue, but it just hit me the other day that these browsers weren't scaling things properly, and I wanted to understand why, and what, if anything, I could do about it. Your comment about this being based on the dpi setting, rather than simple pixel resolution, makes a lot of sense.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Chrome just updated this morning.

Found the text scaling option\zoom, however the android browser still doesn't fit the tabs screen.

So chrome is still an ongoing PIA for this tablet at 1920x1200.......

Coming from the ground up
[Asus Transformer TF700] DLCPhoto:
Yeah, I saw the text scaling option, but the problem is how it handles graphics that's bugging me. It's bound to get better, right??:rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The stock browser has the same setting - I tried them but could not really zoom out further.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ceromus:
I just noticed this the other day. Any updates on this subject?
[HTC Droid DNA] big70tom:
Came from ATT HOX, and these are my first impressions.

First and foremost LTE is wicked cool....at&t has no LTE anywhere near me so I've gone from 3mbs average to 27mbs and HOLY COW!!!

Was concerned about the battery, but initially I must say its great. I use my phone consistantly daily and on day 1 and day 2 the battery has lasted most of the day. My HOX lasted till 1 or 2pm at most.

The charging pad from LG works great. Makes the cover on the charging port make sense.

Phone is super snappy. Running new adw ex flawlessly.

So far I'm uber satisfied.
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
I love the screen. So smooth and sexy

If I do a wipe data (factory data reset) in CWM as required to install a rom, does this touch the "virtual" SD card in the internal storage on the phone?
