It performs much better and it's rock stable (try Mackay ROM 1.6.1 which is based on CM10 but it's closer to stock JB). If you've been on JB once, you won't want to go back to ICS.

[General Questions and Answers] xvart:
Guys, I'm looking for pointers on how to create a full screen app for android that starts at boot and takes over the display.

As background, we design and build phones, phone systems and stuff (illustrious I know), in our move toward a video device (voip) the build cost for the volumes we produce (typically 1k per year) would kill us. As such we are looking for a base on which to do the app thing and android looks the part for this.

We essentially want to take over the device and use it as a dedicated video phone interface. The reason we want dedicated is that the average user in our domain is thicker than a brick and proud of it, presenting these people with choice is a recipe for disaster hence the single full screen no close no switch out anything type app. The app part is easy the full screen lockout thing is the issue, so as said any pointers would be appreciated.

Ok, i am not new to romming and rooting. I have never unlocked a bootloader before however. (I am used to motorola devices on verizon) I am wondering tho, when i unlock my bootloader, does it wipe the device? Like, can i unlock, root, and then backup my apps with titanium? Next, i am mostly romming to get rid of the i/o issues. I am sick of my tablet crawling when downloading pretty much anything. What rom is the best for getting rid of the i/o issues? I am deciding between cleanrom, hydro, and the energy rom. Im leaning towards energy cuz it looks pretty too lol. But i've heard a ton of good things about cleanrom. Is everything working in all of those roms?
[Nexus 4 General] gonintendo:
The sensitivity for the initial touch is lower than than the sensitivity for dragging your finger from that point. Eg, if I just touch and let go right away, the lightest I can get it to register is 46. If I drag my finger from that point and slowly lift, I can get it down to 26. So it seems they've designed it to ignore extraneous touches and be extra sensitive for swipes.

This isn't so much a question, more seeking opinions and thoughts. I have just recently got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, and after finally getting it successfully rooted and everything installed that i think i'll need.

I am at a total loss for a satisfactory layout of icons and widgets, I am simply not used to this much screen space. So i'm interested to hear what other people have done with theirs. I an not looking for someone to tell me how to lay it out, I am simply interested to see what people have done with their own tablets :)

Aargh... well, to start, I couldn't get CM10 past the boot animation. No worries, I was able to load MeanROM just fine. All apps are there, and loaded Gapps 4.1 as well - I even flashed the kernel. So I can boot and have normal phone operation, except for...

Although I do have internet access,

1) Play Store will not connect.

2) Gmail keeps crashing

3) And none of my Google accounts have an option to sync contacts.

Three strikes!

Can someone help me with any of the aforementioned problems?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thicklizard:
You shouldn't flash the gapps sense roms have them baked in try just wiping and reflash

yeah I'm having the same issue, except for I'm still using cm10 latest nightly. Can't seem to get google to sync at all. had the keyboard crash over and over again as well. also my home and recent buttons don't respond at all either. They vibrate when pressed but other than that nothing happens.

Kernal version 3.0.51 -geb1844c

android version 4.1.2

cm10 version 10-20121205 nightly jewel

currently downloading cm10.0.0 and giving that a try...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thicklizard:
Which gapps did you use? You should use the ones linked on IRC or the 4.2 gapps and no wipe is needed although you can wipe dalvik cache if you want.

Edit I think the gapps you need are dated as 20121011 jb gapps

Edit 2 are you son? Because I believe the kernel should be 3.0.53
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cerius:
yeah I am s-on. and i have kernal 3.0.51 - geb1844c

would i use goomanager to flash the image from the rom? and if so wouldnt i use the latest nightly or the stable cm10.0.0?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thicklizard:
You would flash the bootimg of which ever one you flashed

[HTC One X] TarekElsakka:
Hey there

I have been facing this problem, or more like wondering about it for a while now.

I upgraded my HBOOT to 1.31 and I had ARHD15 and then Viper X installed. Then the official Jelly Bean OTA update started rolling out to HTC devices and I was excited, so I decided I want to go back to the latest stock ROM so I can receive it when I tap "Check for Updates" under "Software Updates". I tried to use a stock RUU but of course that failed since my "get-var" thing says that I have a newer version than the latest one. Mine is 3+ while the latest one is 2+ if that makes any sense. I looked through all the stock RUUs but there wasn't any compatible one.

So I decided I should find another way to install the stock ICS ROM and I did. I used this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546970

Anyway, I installed it, rooted the device, and then flashed the stock recovery so I would prepare my device for the OTA update.

I have a:

CID: HTC__J15

Region: .401 (WWE I believe)

This is the latest RUU I found:

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12_Radio_2.1204.127.19_release_271851_signed.exe

However, mine is 3.27.401 if I remember correctly, therefore I cannot install the above one.

So anyway, is my device ready to receive the OTA update now or am I just fooling myself since I didn't go back to stock using the stock RUU?

Any help or information is really appreciated as I have been squeezing my brain about this for a while now and it's getting frustrating and I honestly feel stupid.

Thank you
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Since you updated hboot you can't use the latest RUU (2.17.401.2).

I'm not sure Mikes stock ROM will allow you to install the OTA, you might have better luck if you restore a 2.17.401.2 backup, there's a thread for that.
[HTC One X] TarekElsakka:
Thanks for your reply. You mean I can restore using a NANDROID backup that I download from the internet, for instance? I am assuming that is flashed through CWM recovery, correct? Would you please link me to the correct thread if it's not too much to ask? I'll be searching for it in the mean time.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much, but unfortunately my CID (HTC_J15) is one of the missing CIDs. :( I guess I am unlucky.

The CID has little to do with the backup, you just need a backup for 2.17.401.2, which is there.
[HTC One X] TarekElsakka:
Well, since CID has little to do with it, would it be possible to flash 3.14.401.27 if I have 1.31 HBOOT?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You still need the right CID to flash the OTA as it checks so you have to be on one of the ones that have had JB so far...
[HTC One X] TarekElsakka:
Oh.. well then I suppose I cannot flash the JB Nandroid since my CID J_15 did not officially receive JB yet. I hate you, HTC!!! lol
[HTC Sensation] marinovm92:
Hey there!

So I have an HTC Sensation with an oficial ICS update HTC Sense e.t.c as it should be.

12 Hours back I found out that it's possible to root, flash, use custom ROM ( with two words get rid of the HTC Sense which I really don't like )

So excited and thoughtful of what I am doing I just rushed into reading tons of posts and ways on how to do everything and after a few hours I thought I am ready to work!

Yes, but NO! :o I think I did most of the things correctly but at the end I just rushed through it and I think I messed up big time! I tried so many things to recover my system but I just can't do anything ( I only get to HTC logo, and then it's an infite loop of reboots )

So I rooted the devide, unlocked the HBOOT, downloaded everything that was mentioned but I didn't turn S-OFF

In my rush to complete my EPIC QUEST :D I just wiped data/cache e.t.c and tried to put on a custom ROM but I only got to the HTC logo and that's it!

Afterwards I read about "how to boot custom ROM with S-ON" so I tried to manipulate the boot.img ( somehow I don't really remember what I was suppose to do ) so after this operation I moved to the realm of "endless HTC logo loops" and that's where I am stuck for the past 3-4 hours.... :silly:

If someone can help me fix my phone I'd be very thankful! Please be kind on my noobness :D

Regards!

P.S. - don't ask me if I did a backup, because ofcourse I DID NOT! ( which I regret! ) will do for the future :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
I've been using a Note 2 demo unit for the past two days and have noticed that during a call, and the other person is talking, I can hear a "hiss/white nose" around the voice in the earpiece speaker. But when the person isn't talking, there is no hiss. I tried this with several calls (and also 1-800 recordings) and can hear it for every call. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it is quite distracting.

On the GS3 is does have a slight hiss, but it is hardly noticeable. The Droid DNA doesn't have any hiss during calls.

Since I wasn't sure if it could just be an issue just this Note 2, I stopped by a store on my way home today and tried the Note 2 that was on display. It has the same hiss/white noise that I'm getting on my unit.

Has anyone else noticed this on their phone?

I'm thinking it may have to do with the Note 2 using P_Rev 6 and the EVRC-B Vocoder. In my area, the regular EVRC sounds better than EVRC-B, but I don't see any way of changing it on the Note 2. I've changed between the P_Rev and Vocoders on other phones by doing ##PROGRAM, but that command doesn't work on the Note 2.

I don't think it's a noise reduction issue. With noise reduction on or off, Voicemail calls sounded perfect. No hiss or anything. And I am quite sure of what the hiss sounds like, so I know what to listen for.
