[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacol82:
IMO for now, the best overall configuration is [JB] CM10 by Ivendor + Broodkernel V1.4 (CastagnalT's kernel is awesome, but JB version has some problems at the moment) - It's responsive as hell, games that were laggy on Ivendor's CM9 now work with no problems at all, I also tried PACman 18.0 by Camcory and it had the best battery life, similar to GB ROMs - anyway, go for JB ROMs, "soon" with 3.0 kernel it will fly! :) Only problems, that I've got: 2 random reboots in a month, no BLN, no panorama pictures, some other minor known bugs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguitarman94:
Hi guys, I've been looking for my next phone for a while now. Although the nexus 4 seems nice there are plenty of issues and storage isn't the greatest. I've been an avid HTC user throughout my 2 year experience of android devices. I have the one S and I was planning on getting the hox+ the thing that bothers me is that is it really worth paying over £400 for a sim free phone when contracts work out to be better value? I can get the gs3 16gb brand new for £350 so £50 is quite a good amount of money to save for me. My question is: How bright is the sgs3 screen? Can you view it out side. I would of gone straight for the sgs3 but the screen brightness is rubbish according to lots of people what's your opinions? If you've owned a HOX or any modern phone with an slc2 or IPS screen let me know how it compares, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
To be fair, the gs3 doesn't perform that well outside especially when the sun rays are directly hitting the phone. It kinda makes it a "little" difficult to see during that time but I don't mind it that much. Ofcourse the one X plus would be a better option in terms of outdoor visiblity.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguitarman94:
but in terms of everything else? ...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
in terms of everything else, it's the best phone out there in my opinion.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darwinwin:
i own an international s3 since july, to be honest its one of the best phones i ever saw, the only down side is the screen. mine has a little yellow tint and i couldn't get a replacement. + outdoor visibility isn't the best, even my 2 year old nexus s performs better outside
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Nightstalker1993:
Hi guys, just now my mom's X5's right half of the screen stopped responding. Apparently she went to a concert and it started to rain but the phone itself didn't actually contact any water. Point is since it was raining, the air was damp, after that she claimed the right half of the screen stopped responding.

Checked using developer's tool -> show pointer location that it stops detecting touch input EXACTLY at 0 on the x-axis. Any solutions to this other than sending it to the repair center? I've still got another year of warranty on this but preferrably not to send back to warranty as service centres are known to take their own sweet time in repairing phones plus the X5 had already been flashed to a custom firmware.

thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
My brother's phone had the same issue and i flash the original firmware and eventually sent it to the warrenty.

After 2 weeks phone returned fixed by a new panel. You should try and see. You won't lose anything.

If you are sure they won't fix then you should by a touchscreen from ebay or somewhere similar.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
strange thing.

this mode gives me a bootloop. I'm on xwlf2 if its gives any ideas for you.

one suggestion if allow me - can you a button CLOSE ALL APPS or smth like that?

thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Under03Ground:
I think the mod is not working. I think i flashed it correctly. I think there is.the jb transition but no app switcher. Hope you would check on that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TopDroid:
Yes, there was a mistake on my part. It will be fixed in V2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TopDroid:
It's based on JellyBread, so only for DDLF2.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] imjustafq:
how about adding a navbar? : )
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Alessioria:
Great! Do we have to flash only V2? :o
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcurtiswood:
Flashed this modem based on reports that it would improve 4G speeds and reception. Now my phone refuses to connect to data at ALL. Going to re-flash old modem. Wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this, or if I missed something other than flashing the zip from CWM?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Check your APN settings. New modems are installed by flashing a zip in CWM. You got it right.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcurtiswood:
That was the first thing I checked. Everything looked fine. Went back and flashed the KD1 modem. Works great but not nearly like the claims of the blaze modem. I feel like it's an elaborate hoax.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
<shrug>

People see what they want to see.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcurtiswood:
Just mean that I tried several times to flash the zip and each time it zapped my connectivity. I compared the hashes and it downloaded correctly. Not sure what the problem is.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
I meant people see what they want to see when they mod their phones.

Not being able to use this modem isn't costing you much in the way of performance. The stock KJ2 was more reliable (at least in my area). The biggest bottleneck to network performance is on t-mo's end. In theory, this phone should see better speeds as they upgrade the network itself.

Do you have connectivity problems with roms that have this modem baked in?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcurtiswood:
Oh I gotcha. I'm about to switch over ROMs from GG3.8 to something else. I haven't been too happy with any of the custom ROMs I've found on here. Most of them are only supported for 2 weeks before the devs go A.D.D. and start making something else. The few that have survived the longest have changed hands so many times that I worry about all of the overlooked problems and inherited glitches in code that may never get worked out. I wish someone would actually work on developing, rather than minor tweaks and skins. Most of the ROMs are copies of other ROMs but with new skins baked in.

I haven't noticed any huge problems with ROMs using the KJ2 modem other than low signal strength. I know that it was mostly on Tmo's end of things, but I figured any little boost I can get would help as I live in a somewhat rural area.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
What can I tell ya...if it's so easy I'd like to see you sit down and come up with something new. If you don't want to wait until bhundven finishes all the hard work he is doing for us, just buy another phone and jump to another section of xda, dude.

I'll be retiring from the custom rom thing, anyway. Good luck and take care!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SurvivorZer0:
need 10 posts

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

btw, the roms for this phone do suck. sadly this phone never got any really good developers it would seem. it had a few good ones but they all left because this phone sucks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
???....hahaha!

Annnnyway.... sorry for being rude. It is frustrating to run into those limitations with this phone.

Believe me... if I had a good computer, I'd be hacking the source and compiling.

Once again, I apologize. That was wrong of me.

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Thanks for your input. Of course they suck. We made the roms suck on purpose just to annoy you. Lol.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Well, I certainly hope you never publish any apps with that thin skin. :) You should see the reviews that devs have to read through..

Have a good one.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Hahaha....I'm back. New and improved Joker product. With a new secret ingredient: Smylex :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcurtiswood:
I'm sorry. I didn't meant to offend. I've tried several ROMs, a few of them you've worked on. A lot of them I've really enjoyed for a while. What I've found is that a lot of modifications to the firmware and kernel have had negative effects on the stability of each ROM. Almost all I've tried have had trouble with radio dormancy - switching from WIFI to 4G have prevented the radio reactivating - forcing me to reboot often.

At one point, several "developers" have had multiple ROMs going at once. This can be done if one keeps considerable documentation for each project. If not, though, how the hell can you juggle that many projects without making considerable mistakes?

I've seen good work done by a lot of the devs on here, so I'm not bashing. But support for each ROM only lasts about two weeks MAX and then they cook some new ROM without fixing the previous one - and the cycle repeats all over again. It takes Android fragmentation to the extreme.

Take my criticism as an insult if you want, but it was only intended as a critique of the dev environment in general.

Currently I'm rolling stock KJ2, rooted, with all of the useless bloat removed.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Nah...no insult taken. My bad for being overly sensitive. I have noticed that the firmware on this phone just doesn't react very well to alterations.

Any slight deviation from the original structure just causes slight bugs and boot loops. My wife has a G2X with CyanogenMod 7.2 and it is so much more flexible.

I tried many experiments with init.d scripts to increase app storage, which work on the G2X BTW, with resulted in epic fails.

Let's see what bhundven can do to make this phone into what it should be.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcurtiswood:
I'm hoping that he can hack something together. Else I think I'm just going to save up some cash and upgrade. If we could just get a GB equivalent version of CM on here I'd be set! Just missing out on a lot of good apps because I don't have the cash to drop on a new phone for a while. College student financials, you know what I mean?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
That would be CM 7. That would be great but I'll be happy with CM 6.2. Yeah, it's still Froyo but at least the foundation would be set. It'll clean up the mess and the development would increase substantially.

It's weird. When you look at this hardware and compare it to the Nexus S and the Epic 4G, it is just so similar. I use the Epic themes and it just matches up perfectly. There is no doubt that JB would run on this without any problems.

I also cannot afford a new phone right now. Our day will arrive... and when it does, this phone will be almost like the Relay.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
When your contract is up, call T-mo and let them know they sold you a "T-Mobile" BRANDED product. You bought the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G and you got stuck with crummy software. They allowed you to be abandoned in Samsung Touchwiz hades. Now, I'm not worrying about "how a dev devs", but AOSP isn't happening. Just get a Relay. If you explain what happened to you, they will probably cut you a sweetheart deal. Keep your Sidekick around and you can still use the keyboard to hack out code, write, and surf message boards on WiFi.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
At the moment I got this phone, I was trying to decide between this and the myTouch 4G Slide. I was attracted to the full qwerty layout and was impressed with ayoteddy's work.

I look back now and regret not spending the extra cash. I still like the Sidekick but find myself hiding it from my coworkers at the T-Mobile call center here in Puerto Rico.

They are flaunting their Galaxies and HTCs running CyanogenMod 10....and I'm here with themes. LoL.

I will have a one year discount coming up and will take your advice. It is ashame that Samsung have clueless tools responding to emails so sending complaints would be pointless.

I am not losing faith in bhundven, however. He may be able to make this phone rise from the ashes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Just as a note for other Sidekick owners, I specifically asked the T-Mo rep I spoke to about selling a phone with a two year contract tha wasn't actually viable for two years. Froyo literally destroys your options on the Play Store and I have been forced to use old versions of almost every app on my device--just to get combatibility and stability. Considering I went through the additional effort of partially porting my own AOSP, I think I did everything I could... Maybe I came up short because I didn't spend enough time and maybe I could have given up more free time, but that's not really fair. I should have gotten Gingerbread. That was my case for an extra discount on my Relay.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
I spoke to bhundven, if any work gets done on it, it's gonna be sometime. He's got life to deal with. I told him to hold onto it until he manages to come across some time. No rushes. We're lucky this forum didn't end up in legacy devices after all. We had AdamOutler and krylon360 work on our phone. So we weren't left in the dark like some phones for companies like MetroPCS.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] enixidfrag:
I have a NT with 1.4.3 and it's rooted with Play Store fine and dandy but I want Amazon Appstore also as I own alot of good apps on there from free app of the day. Tried but it wont let me install. Is there a way to get it working on 1.4.3?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
Been awhile since I was on rooted stock..,which apk did you use and what did the error message say?

Nikkiel
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] enixidfrag:
Ok I figured out how to get it to work. Problem was downloading via wrong browser apparently when I was downloading i would always push the "n" button and select web. When I did the following though it worked perfectly fine. Though I will be updating to CM10 seeing as it has been confirmed I have a 16GB and not the 8GB I paid for :laugh:

Step-by-step:

1) Press "n" button

2) Press "Home"

3) Press "ADW.Launcher"

4) Press the globe (browser) button on the launch pad on bottom of screen

5) Go to http://www.amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp

6) Bottom left corner notification tray will say "amazonappstore.apk Successfully downloaded) Select it

7) Choose Package Installer from the pop-up window

8) Press Install

9) Enjoy!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] arstraub:
I downloaded the app store app to my sd card on my 1.4.3 NT and whenever I try to select the package, it tells me the nook only allows apps bought from the nook store...any ideas how to get around this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
In the nook hidden settings you need to allow apps from unknown sources. I got rid of stock root a while ago, but I think you can download it from Google play.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] arstraub:
How do I find the hidden settings? :(

I found a root tutorial and downloaded a zip file from tabletroms.com, but i can't open the files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deboyz1014:
its an app on the drawer
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] arstraub:
I think I'm going to give up on this one. I had to google what an app drawer is, then, once I found it, I still couldn't find the right security setting to allow me to download from unknown whatevers, and I have to figure out how to download google play after I get the Apk thing downloaded, so I can then download the app store. Ya'll are hella smart because I'm completely lost and so tired of googling everything under the sun, I'm over it, I even tried to read a crash report that was code ugh, so much for doing it on my own. Thanks for helping me out, though, I do appreciate it and kudos to those of you who can sideload and root your devices because that's a whole other ballgame!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
It sounds to me like you haven't rooted your Tablet. You need to do that. When doing that Google apps (incuding Google Play store) will be installed. If NT Hidden settings isn't already installed by the root you can find it in the Play store.

I describe rooting under "B" in this post:

Project Open Cannibal presents...

Cannibal Open Touch v2.1 for Asus Nexus 7​

About Cannibal Open Touch:

Cannibal Open Touch is the next generation of custom recoveries. Jam-packed with cool and useful features, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.

Main Features:

1. Theme support

2. Touch screen button controls!

3. GooManager support!

4. Advanced Backup

5. Delete old backups!

6. Persistent settings

7. User-defined backup locations!

8. ADB Sideload

9. Touchscreen calibration

Why the name Cannibal Open Touch?

Because we can. The name also embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. It is no longer just a variant of ClockworkMod Recovery, it is it's own recovery by itself. Combining features from ClockworkMod 5, Team UtterChaos' Sony Xperia recovery, AmonRa 3.0.6, Xionia CWMA and a heaping helping of our own special enhancements it is truly revolutionary.

What to do when an error occurs:

DO NOT simply say "xxxx doesn't work" as that is highly unhelpful and will probably be ignored. Instead, post the recovery log! To grab a log when an error occurs, simply open a terminal (or command prompt if on Windows), "cd" to an easily accessible directory and execute:

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Paste the log as an attachment (don't paste the text inside, as it can be quite lengthy), or paste it on pastebin.com.

WARNING!

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cannibal Open Touch you must delete the settings.ini file located in the cotrecovery folder on your sdcard!

The Cannibal Open Touch App for Android (separate from this recovery image, which is fully functional on all devices) is *NOT* functional on Nexus 7 devices running Android 4.2 or later. A fix is being investigated.

Flashing instructions:

1. Download the Cannibal Open Touch recovery image.

2. Reboot your device to bootloader mode (adb reboot bootloader)

3. Flash the image with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img)

4. Reboot to recovery mode

5. PROFIT!

Note: The below link is an external link to the Project Open Cannibal forums. We do not require registration to download any public release, but we'd sure appreciate it if you stopped by to say hello :)

WARNING!

This has only been tested on the non-3g models (grouper/nakasi); while it is hightly probable this will work on the nakasig we cannot confirm this at this time (at best I would expect assert errors with rom zips).

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mlaws90:
Thanks this looks awesome, I will definantly use it when it supports 4.2. I may give it a shot on 4.1.2 though to see what it is all about :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Sblood86:
Yeah Drew (the other dev on the project) wrote in that warning there; it's referring to the Android control application that he did. Allows you to easily change the persistent settings from within android instead of recovery (including but not limited to the user defined backup paths). The recovery does work in 4.2, the app does not.

To set user defined backups you could use the app in 4.1 or older than upgrade the settings will remain in place; or manually create a file in sdcard/cotrecovery/ with the title .userdefinedbackups and the sdcard folder you would like backups saved to: for example if you wanted to add rom manager compatibility you would want your backups to be in '/sdcard/clockworkmod/' so in the .file you would simply write 'clockworkmod' without the quotes.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mlaws90:
Oh see, that is not a big deal at all. I would be willing to give that a shot, didn't even know there was an app :p Thanks for the detailed reply, I'm sure it will help others as well.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Harkunwar:
The recovery looks nice ^_^

Don't know why I prefer unique recoveries and not popular ones :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] smallba:
I like the look of this recovery, I have nothing as of yet to flash, but I'll definitely be keeping it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lightninbug:
OK just to clarify, this does work 100% with 4.2.1 ROMs? And where can i find some themes for it.....looks verrrrrrry promising :)

Edit...and I'm not concerned about backups as i never use them.... FULL wipe every time for me
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Sblood86:
Yes the recovery works w/ 4.2 roms the only issue is the app that Drew did not being able to communicate with the sdcard properly in 4.2 (this is not related to the recovery itself).

Themes we could use more of; there is an outline of them on our forums and on github (nexus 7 is of course the jb-800x1200 branch)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] .torrented:
Looks nice gonna give it a run through
[Nexus 7 Original Development] azoller1:
Are there any sources? I kind of want to build this for my spectrum or do you not have plans for open source
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Sblood86:
I apologize; I ripped the thread layout off from Drew and didn't realize the source was not linked. I'll get it linked in the OP at a later time but for now suffice it to say yes we have open sourced everything; we have full intention of open sourcing all future related code as well (hence the 'Open' part of the name ;) ):

Either sync a CM10 tree or use the jellybean branch in Drew's hacked up manifest (this will only build recovery).

Whichever way you sync your repo you will need to replace the recovery folder (Drew's manifest is pulling the old repo)

you will need the jellybean branch from the recovery itself:

android_bootable_recovery

if you used Drew's manifest you should already have the following if not you will want to pull these as well:

the jellybean branch from here

android_bootable_recovery_gui

and the master from here

android_bootable_recovery_res

Lastly; a slightly modified grouper device repo (pretty sure this one is also for recovery only lol)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CDeviant:
I'll definitely give this a run when I can later today!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] evilgenx:
Pretty Awesome. Installed just fine on my Nexus7 WiFi. Gonna run this for a while and see how she goes, tnx!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xfrancis14:
Quick question, is there a way to flash this without a computer? As u currently don't have one and could I use my twrp backup if anything are to happen or would I need to make a new one with this recovery?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewwalton19216801:
You need to use fastboot, which requires use of a computer (for now). TWRP backups are not compatible so yes you would need to make a new backup.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xfrancis14:
Okay well I don't currently have a computer so I guess ill stick with twrp for now and okay
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xfrancis14:
Is it possible for you to make an app which would flash the recovery? If so that would he amazing as I really want to try this recovery
