[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Newer version of COT is in the works (though we're having some issues with the theme engine lol) but I'm really not sure if we're going to be able to support the KF or not with it, using the CM touch recovery code which has issues with a lot of devices. There's a good chance it will work but at this point I'm really just not sure. Sorry for the slow progress there are only 3 of us and we don't spend nearly as much time on the project as we would like to.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
OtterX support?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
If the screen works right most likely will do standard partition structures first and than possibly OtterX after that. We need to sort out the issues with the theme engine working right first, which honestly the error in question makes absolutely no sense so we'll see how long that takes. After it's working right on our primary test devices (not the KF) I'll look into getting it working on the KF again.

There's a build for hammerhead but the one on our host is rather old, you're welcome to check it out anyway. It's missing quite a bit of functionality; on device backups will not be added back in do to security concerns, adb backup is recommended.

Thanks I'll check it out.

I don't ever backup anything anyways. Just the EFS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Alright y'all; touch code does register on the Otter... The menu however is treating the device like a portrait screen even though it's displayed in landscape, to that end the touch recognition is also off and it doesn't register touches in the right spot. This is a similar issue that [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] had with the original landscape version of CWM that we used for the initial version of COT, I'd like to review the code to try to fix this but I'm not directly certain when or how long it will take. If anyone with code experience would like to have a fiddle the repo is found at https://github.com/ProjectOpenCannibal/android_bootable_recovery-cm, there are no required changes to make it build for Otter at this time simply replace the bootable/recovery directory in a CM11 tree.

Any plans for OtterX? I love COTR but have to use TWRP.

There is this weird noise which plays whenever I am listening to Music or Radio while using Ear Phones on my Mini Pro. The ear phones work perfectly fine while in a Call so i don't think its a port problem. My Current ROM is MIUI and the boot image i am using is Super Xperia. The noise sometimes stops music. I think it started after i installed the Beats Audio Driver.

Kindly help me what to do ?

Hi!

I would like to announce my first game. Currently it is still under development. I hope it is allowed to make such advertising on this forum.

Description:

Apocalys is simple yet addictive logic game for Android platform.

Your goal is to cleanse rotten civilizations. However, the only acceptable way of doing this is total destruction of the planet.

You can achieve this by shooting deadly objects to planets, like meteors and comets but be careful about other planets with no life. They attract your projectiles with their gravity field, so it is not as simple as it seems. You will need to use objects like asteroids or probes to make your path of destruction.

I would be glad if you join FB page and stay tuned for news.

Look for apocalys2012 page.

Cheers.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] goncal:
Hello all

I got a secondhand Galaxy Mini (Froyo 2.2.1) and when I looked at the About Phone info, it showed Baseband Version Unknown.

However the IMEI number was there.

I have been playing around with the phone, rebooting it, trying to clear Dalvik cache with Recovery Mode (didn't work) etc, and it now shows a valid baseband version all the time.

CSC is CPW (Car Phone Warehouse UK), I checked by dialing in #*272*IMEI#.

The phone works, it can make and receive calls, has WiFi, GPS signal, 3G connectivity etc.

Does that mean that there was something wrong with the phone? Or did I have to give it more time to "come back to life"?

Thanks! Cheers

Hello. I don't know what i;m doing wrong. I'm trying to unlock my ONE S . I follow the steps in HTCDEV. Everything is working fine the hole process. In the boot menu status is unlocked. But when i put my simcard in it , is asking for 8 digit network code. I tried 3 times. Same result. Any help will be great. Thank you
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Yawn... HTCDev does not unlock the SIM card. It unlocks the bootloader. When you put in a new card, don't expect it to magically work! There is a SIM Unlock thread in Android Development. But HTCDev doesn't unlock the SIM! That would also be illegal on HTC's part if it unlocked the phones network.

This is the thread you should read about SIM unlock.

The good news is that unlocking your bootloader is required, since you need to root your phone before you can do the SIM unlock. So your efforts were not in vain!

[General Questions and Answers] Madmanmoose:
I recently dropped my Droid X about 18" face-down onto a tiled floor. Although everything works fine, I have an odd result on the screen:

After picking the DX up, there was a 'splotch' or 'blot' in the middle of the screen; that seemed to be made up of pixels.

Over the next 3 days, this blot slowly unraveled itself, split into 3 separate lines and migrated to the lower right-hand side of the screen (see attached image).

Since the lines don't show up in a screenshot (and are superimposed over all graphics), I am unsure if this is damage to the LCD, or to the touchscreen.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of issue...any solid advice to offer?

Thanks, in advance!

I'm wondering which launcher to use on my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747. So I'm considering either Nova or Apex. I like how Nova Is more customizable but Apex has more functions. I also like the stock Touchwiz theme. Which launcher should I use? Also can anyone suggest any other launchers besides GO Launcher EX.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cusa:
I personally use nova and I love it. It's fast and smooth.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mis3:
Nova
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WattB006:
I also use Nova but have been trying Next Launcher for the past couple days and I like it so far for it being in the early stages.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ora282:
You should try ADW Launcher.It's one of the first, and it's come a long way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rob1216:
Nova prime mostly, but sometimes go back to apex they're both great
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dmwitz:
I have 3 launchers set up which I swap between depending what I'm doing. I use Nova occasionally whilst driving. The gestures make it very easy to quickly open apps with one hand. I use TouchWiz daily for the S-Planner widget, which only works on TouchWiz. When I feel creative or get an idea for a UI I use sslauncher, which gives gridless design possibilities, overlapping widgets and resizable icons and the ability to have different wallpapers on every page. I use "Home chooser pro" to swap.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Medlock87:
+1 for ADW! I use the paid version personally, and I love it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mellojoe:
I'm using Nova currently.

I've tried Apex, and honestly, I can't really see a difference. They are super similar. I think Nova gets the edge because of being able to save and restore your layouts.

I used to use LancherPro on my old phone. Paid and all. However, it hasn't been improved in so long that I fear it is dead in the water. So, i've made the switch to Nova. I have not yet gone with the Nova Prime (the paid version) yet, but I probably will. I've heard good things about ADW, but I haven't used it since way back on FroYo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GeorgeP:
I have both Nova Prime and Apex Pro. They are VERY close. I slightly prefer Apex because it has some options that Nova does not. Also Apex has a nice fade-in transition option for transitioning from homescreen to app drawer that seems a little smoother than Nova.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Corbanski:
It seems like apex and nova are basically the same thing

I use Nova Prime but I wish it had the TW desktop scroll effect as I think it's the slickest looking. All Il really use Nova for is to have 5 columns on my home screen and to sort out my app drawer how I want. If TW had these features I'd still be using it.

Long time Nova Prime user while I had my captivate but switched to Apex when I upgraded to the S3. Other than not having unread counts in apex, I don't see much of a difference in features/performance. Both launchers blow touch wiz out of the water in terms of customization. Just my 2¢

I bought Apex Pro for $4 because the free version came with Shostock rom and was quite happy until it started to freeze on S2 a few months ago. First it caused unresponsive power button then a few more FC here and there. Bought Nova Prime on sale for 25 cents and just installed it last week, seems faster and smoother than Apex, haven't had any FCs yet. They both have very similar features, Apex a little more customizable and probably a hair more on functionality, but Nova wins out on stability, I just wish I could find a way to disable zoom out transition effects going from homepage to drawer.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givertex:
My Nexus four already has two distinct scratches on the glass areas -- one on the front, one on the back. They're very noticeable.

So, I'd be the first to say I don't treat my devices the best -- almost all my phones have a short lifetime for one reason or another. I've had the Nexus 4 though about a month, and I didn't even have a SIM card for it until yesterday. That being said, I'd still carry it on my person to get used to it. The cat has pulled it from it's charging station a couple times, making it fall about 3 feet to a concrete floor (damn cat). Other then that, use has been pretty sub-normal. When I put it in my pockets, I make it a point to not put it in the same pocket as my keys. My wallet (it generally goes in this pocket) is leather and has no metals. Sometimes it'll go in my pocket with my Galaxy Nexus -- which never once has incurred a scratch ever -- no matter how many times I put it in the keys pocket by accident over the years.

I had Invisible shield for my Galaxy Nexus, and it was so annoying because of the friction it adds and it really messed with the contrast -- I took it off -- I thought it was Gorilla Glass and never would get scratched -- I was right!

The Nexus 4 -- I took it by Invisible Shield and they didn't even have the pattern yet -- so I figured I'd wait, but this is Gorilla Glass 2, and I'm super disappointed it's already got scratches. I don't know what to do, so I guess the best thing to do is to let you guys know. I'll probably be calling Google come Monday to see if they have any options. I think I'm 3 days out of return -- I just noticed the big one on the front of my screen yesterday. Ugh.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchy_cool:
First of all - wrong forum

Second - how can you be sure that the drops did not result in the scratches

third - I believe the first people to receive the N4 were 17th Nov 2012 so how is it that you have been using it for a month

Fourth - if your wallet has a dust particle on it, you can get scratches on the phone
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobyman7035:
mine already came with a stock front screen protector, thats normal right? not sure if the back has one either its hard to tell i have bad eyesight:silly:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManicDVLN:
Gorilla Glass is all marketing, it might be slightly stronger than normal glass but it's more prone to scratching than other screens. And drop videos show the glass will break no matter what if you drop it 5-6 feet. Only idiots at Apple would think of covering its phones with glass and only morons follow in copying such a design on their phones. LG made a poor decision on this aspect. Most cases, most people going to buy a back cover and all that shiny glass back is going to be covered anyways. So whats the point?

I had a galaxy note with gorilla glass, screen got scratched from its own damn pen!

Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Samsung Focus, Blackberry Bold 9000 not a single scratch, none of them used gorilla glass.

So when people say their gorilla glass screens got scratched, I believe them.

I just hope my Nexus 4 will remain scratch-less in 6 months.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarni84:
I work in construction and had my phone since 14th of Nov well got a new one again a week and a half later from tmobile and neither have any scratches. U have to really be doing something to get scratches on it. Sand will scratch this glass. Keys and change won't only metal that is kind of hard enough to do that is nickel. Also dropping it a few times like op said will definitely do it. These phones are not scratch proof but it is hard to get scratches with normal use and in pockets. That is of course like I stated u have sand in your pockets!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
Where are you getting the information that GG2 is more prone to scratches? This is bull ****. Out of many thousands of phones sold a few people complained about scratches.

The truth is that the majority of them scratched the screens and do not want to admit it. So calculate the percentiles and I think it is fairly low. So how does this translate into gg2 being easier to scratch?

I have had my phone since Thursday. I have no case or screen protector but I am careful and I clean the screen often using a cloth shami meant for glasses. I have no scratches and often carry the phone in my sweat shirt pocket.

I am not saying that I have tested the durability top much but I surely would not consider this glass easy to scratch.

Btw- I placed this phone next to 2 other devices i have both of which have fairly poor quality glass. You can easily tell this glass is much harder even just by tapping with your finger nail.
