[General Questions and Answers] [FNF]LoBot:
This is a nagging question for me and the more I hear and question and dig, the more it LOOKS, FEELS and SMELLS like a Penguin, so to speak.

I am asking XDA experts and hackers for more insight than the almost nonexistent hints I have found searching the web.

Is the Windows 8 Platform some type of Linux???

With the fast start of Win 8, the boot lock tactics (I think it's boot loader is Linux flavored) and Hyper-V, (I think a virtual machine IS what the old desktop as we know it runs in, including the virtual limitations), it sure seems to me as if Windows 8 is nothing more than a form of Linux modified by Microsoft. I think RT for devices is "Winix" without the virtual OS stuff enabled or installed.

About the time, if I remember correctly VMware demonstrated, Winmo and Win CE on smart devices in a virtual machine at Comdex, Hyper-V was announced and the Win VM's became history.

"I also noticed people trying to use Win 8 as a VM host having little success and when they do they suffer the same things I have noticed running a VM inside a VM... severe performance reduction along with the problems that are inherent to Microsoft’s Virtual environment"

Does or can anyone determine if my suspicions are founded???
[General Questions and Answers] peterdn:
No. None of those things are at all indicative of Windows 8 being based on Linux.
[General Questions and Answers] [FNF]LoBot:
What is really in Windows 8

I don't think Win 8 runs the way MS wants us to think it does that is why I am asking and I would hope that more XDA people would chime in.

The Windows 8 claim, if the app runs on one Win 8 device it will run on ALL Win 8 devices. This smells of a "virtual appliance" (See VMware). This was also supposed to be what the java platform was for before MS bastardized and renamed it. Aside from that Java does run somewhat accross platforms.

If you enable/use what appears to be the desktop as most of us knew it, when it starts, it starts like a VMware VM that was put in PAUSE. Not that any of this is a bad thing but with the different OS's out there, the Win 8 feels more like them with virtualization mixed in.

Metro look, barffff. Just a comment, "it is not easy to make hot graphics in raw stripped down linux but two color icons....

Win 8 may not be any flavor of linux "Winux" but I feel that Windows 8 is a shell running things as virtual appliances of a sort. The only people that I feel can begin to answer this are the modders and hackers because MS sure isn't going to spell it out.

This link may be total trash but it also hints at sprinkles of linux "Winux"

http://www.muktware.com/941/microsoft-using-linux-kernel-windows-8

Here is another Link from a couple years ago about MS violating GPL (Linux) for it's Hyper-V

http://www.osnews.com/story/21882/Microsoft_s_Linux_Kernel_Code_Drop_Result_of_GPL_Violation

I can't be the only one that really wants to know why this looks like a Penguin

P.S. I am not a hater, I just don't like anyones OS trying to lock down the hardware I payed hard cash for :(
[General Questions and Answers] carngeX:
Fixed (if your comment was in reference to Java / C#).

Srsly, ever used C#? Yes, it pretty much is Java, but IMO it was much more intuitive for me to pick up and learn (I did come from C++ background though, so that probably helped somewhat syntax-wise).
[General Questions and Answers] [FNF]LoBot:
Not bashing, just trying to dig under the hood...

Yes the reference would be C# but I think it was called something else on the way to C#. The term (you fixed) was only used because the origional concept was derived from Java then to the shortly used MS name I don't recall before it ended up as C#. And yes I have and still periodically use C#.

Please, don't get me wrong, "I am NOT a fanboy for any OS or Hardware. If the use of the OS or the specs of the hardware are what I am looking for, thats what I get. Aside from the price must also agree with me or a customer is buying then it's all good :D
[General Questions and Answers] jc073:
I have a Craig cmp745e and have rooted it and installed cwm. I have found a custom ROM that loads and runs quite nice, the only problem is my touchscreen doesn't work. My question is there a way to get the drivers for my screen off my tablet and make them work with a different rom?
[General Questions and Answers] texasranger770:
This symptom is exhibited if you flash the wrong kernel for your device, thereby making the touchscreen not to respond. However the hardware buttons might respond. Flash the right kernel for your device.:good:
[General Questions and Answers] jc073:
I'm pretty sure I got the right kernel, I found that the screen works its just off by several inches. I used the stock kernel posted somewhere on here. Before I used the stock kernel I couldn't even get it to load so I think its the right kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] texasranger770:
Since you are on stock kernel and have found that the screen works then this won't be a kernel problem.:good:

This might be due to a wrong dpi setting of the rom that doesn't match your device's display hardware . You can use an app that changes the dpi setting back to its stock value. Since it is a custom rom, maybe it might have an option to change the dpi in settings.

Since it is off by several inches, it might be difficult to use an app to change the dpi. Its better to edit the rom package zip using a computer to change the dpi back to stock value and again flash this modified zip in CWM.

Follow these steps to edit the custom rom zip file

1. Copy the zip file to the computer and open it using winrar (no need to extract)

2. Navigate to System folder

3. Open the file name build.prop using notepad.

4. Scroll down and under 'Additional_build_properties' look for the line ro.sf.lcd_density = xxx

Replace xxx with stock value and save it.

5. Save the zip for the changes made to be merged.

6. Transfer it to your sd card and flash it.

Hope this helps you.:)
[General Questions and Answers] jc073:
Thanks! I can't wait to try it. The wireless keyboard I have works great so I'll try to set it from the device.. ..do you think an LCD density app would help of there is no option within the rom?
[General Questions and Answers] texasranger770:
A wrong dpi setting makes the displayed objects to appear shifted and not all objects will be visible. Hence ensure that you have the stock dpi value.
[General Questions and Answers] jc073:
I tried it with a LCD density app, no matter what I set it to the touch was way off and always by the same amount. I could see the coins and keyboard change size but the screen was off by the same amount each time.
[General Questions and Answers] texasranger770:
This might be a bug in the custom rom you have used. Ckeck to see if this is a known issue from the site you have downloaded the rom. Perhaps they might provide a fix or an update.:D
[General Questions and Answers] ledbthand:
Have you found any solution yet? Im having the same problem with the screen being off by several inches even with the stock image from the craig website flashed back on it.

same with me it started after i flashed the kernal from the craig website.
[General Questions and Answers] jc073:
I never flashed the kernel from the Craig website. I used a rom I had found here. Before I flashed a new rom I used the online nandroid backup app. After I flashed the new rom had the same screen problems. The cwm recovery was installed with the rom and with the help of a cheap wireless keyboard I was able to use my nandroid backup to restore my backup. After it was restored my tab was working fine and I have cwm. Now I'm just trying different things hoping to find a cm rom that will work.
[General Questions and Answers] ledbthand:
I meant to say I flashed the update.img from the craig site and now have the same problem.
[General Questions and Answers] ledbthand:
Is it possible for you to upload the backup for me to try to see if it fixes my problem as well?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosferatoo:
I'm considering buying Nexus 4 and after reading various reviews and user opinions my only concern is - how is the battery life?

Some are saying it's great, others are saying it's crap... See me confused.

I've got no intention of using it for watching movies or heavy gaming, but would still like it to last me at least whole day without charging (24 hrs).

Currently, my SGS2 lasts from 1,5-2 days without charging (I'm using JuiceDefender).

Can anyone comment on the subject, especially compared to SGS2?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] late8:
I had a galaxy s2 before the nexus. Compared to my s2 the nexus pisses through power mainly on WiFi and surfing the web. Location services and google now use battery a lot too + overnight i loose more power compared to thr s2. I'm hoping its software related and Google improve battery in updates to JB.

I don't believe those who say the battery is great for one minute.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talminator:
Pretty damn good so far for me :) my SGS2 would be dead in half the time, even with the screen off!

People with bad battery life are just watching porn on their phones..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argenist:
Who watches porn on a small screen vs a huge monitor? :silly:

Depending on the apps you use, battery drain can be a huge downer for this phone. I use eBuddies for aim chats at work and that thing drains through, so does GChat. Navigation apps such as Google Maps or Navigon also burn battery like there's no tomorrow.

So the question of battery life really is dependent on your daily needs. The difference with other phones is that some have removable batteries.

Expect to invest in a mobile recharger, or to have spare charge cables always on hand with this phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoiD_Dweller:
I don't do much with my N4 during the day and came over from an SGS2. SGS2 by far outperforms the N4 on battery life from my experiences.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K Rich:
It seems the N4 has fantastic idle battery drain. I let it sit a full 7 hours over night and lost 3% battery, but it seems when you're actually using the phone, the battery is middle of the road. I'd say its still better than my S2 and as good, or slightly better than my S3. :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapk007:
Hello friends ,

As per your opinion which is the best rom for I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James Bottomtooth III:
Slim Bean, hands-down

I used to have stock Gingerbread on my SGS I9000. Then I switched to DarkyROM ICS, which was okay. After a while I came across the SlimRoms website, which was still developing Slim ICS at the time, so I flashed ICS, which was brilliant. Shortly after the Slim team started working on SlimBean, and after reaching a stable version I tried it for myself, a decision I am glad I made.

SlimBean is by far the lightest, fastest ROM I've used so far. Give it a try for yourself and you'll see how amazing, lag-free it is. I'm using version 3.1 with the Semaphore kernel version 2.6.2s.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phiphi374:
Hi,

I've flashed many roms on my i9000 : Miui, cyanogen 7, Cyanogen 9, Jelly Bean, ICs..... but for me the best one is the JW8 SAUROM.

Stable, fast, GS3 Theme and a very good battery life !!

Since i am on this rom i don't want to flash another one !

Slim 3.1 with semaphore 2.6

If someone help me i definitely HIT THANKS.... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roscatel:
Your question must be more specific, and I'll try to explain...

In my opininon the are only 2 developers team which should be considered, first CyanogeneMod which leads because of it's bigger number of devs (so more supported devices). 2nd is AOKP, which I personally prefer because it's more designale and more good looking, but also very stable. I've tested hardly both, but 5th build from AOKP has best battery life, so I'm never going back to CM, only for new tests, making new statistics etc.

Hope I helped, greetings :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapk007:
thank u all for the respons i will definately flash and check the above said roms...

But not alll stock rom 2.3.x can be flash with semaphore.. and not all i9000 can be flash with the same s/rom. But still semaphore 2.7.4 is the best way to get cwm. If flashi v semaphore causing boot failure, try to flash with other s/rom and re-flash semaphore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkanoide:
+1 ^^

I was on Hellybean (4.1.2) before I switch to beast rom (4.2.1).

It was pretty nice but the best rom it's up to you, try several rom ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaxarop:
Which AOKP ? (link)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nameh:
The idea of two developers was what I was thinking as well when I was making a decision either to stay on stock 2.3.6 or flash something new. CM9 is more "readable" for me in terms of numbering and Stable/Nightly/Experimental. Even tough I do not understand how come there is a stable version followed by nightly builds. :confused:

When watching some videos and screens of AOKP I felt it might be even better but I got confused in the numbering (which of the builds is the most stable as I need a working phone not a phone to be flashed twice a week).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeeDoubleYous:

I have flashed with slim rom 3.1

but when i do factory reset the phone goes in boot loops..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hefal:
C-Rom Mix V9 here - it's a near perfect ROM. Stable, everything is where it supposed to be. Very smooth operating. My last phone - XPERIA ARC S was destroyed (and its hardware is superior to that of i9000) - Galaxy - being slower by half is faster when speaking about this system operation. There are some hiccups with number recognition sometimes (like 1/10 phone calls and only till i pick up - so no showstopper for sure :)). The camera is limited to just basic functions - but is working perfectly fine. The calendar is more basic than in ICS modded ROM for ARC S. The battery last for a day or less - but here i cannot say if the battery in my phone is just old or is this ROM (i got the phone used and the battery is 2,5 yo). And these are my only complaints - not much :) I have MUUUUUUUCH more complaints on every other stock/modded rom for Galaxy & ARC S :)

It's my daily ROM more than a week now.

How does this compare to the built-in Swype-like functionality in the Jellybean keyboard? I was a HUGE Swype fan until the JB keyboard. After installing Mazda's ROM, I fully intended on installing Swype again, but decided to stick with the JB keyboard for a while and now I love it. It took a while to adjust to after using Swype for so long, but it's actually better than Swype (better prediction by far).
[HTC EVO 3D] MasterTec:
My problem with the jb keyboard is you can't go back to a word and change it without manually clearing it out and retyping it. This is why I went back to Swype beta.

I am astounded as to how much better the battery life is.

With my usage i was lucky to get 6hrs on a full charge. Well.... first charge of brand new note 2 and im on 60% still and its been on battery for over 13hrs up to yet!!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] madpete:
It's great isnt it... I thought the same but in my case I came from an S3. Note 2 really is an amazing phone. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] princepilot:
It will probably be on 40% by the time i get in bed. Do you think its better to fully charge it again or just let it run down as i will be back from work earlier tomorrow

Matt
[Galaxy Note II General] madpete:
For the first charge I let it run down to 5%, then after that I just do whatevers needed.

Its personal pref tho, some people will say you need to, others say it's not necessary.
[Galaxy Note II General] princepilot:
If i let it go below 5% and it ran out would that be bad?
[Galaxy Note II General] madpete:
I dont think its gonna hurt, its just good practice...something I remember reading once.
[Galaxy Note II General] initial_k:
Just don't let it run out. The first few times you use the phone, you should do a full cycle charge.

Let it run down to 5% or less and then charge it to 100%
[Galaxy Note II General] andy a:
So when I get mine should I fully charge it and let it run out fully a few times?

[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

No you don't need to fully run down the battery. It is actually a bad practice on lithium based batteries.
[Galaxy Note II General] lukesky:
when they say "fully run down", don't they mean run down till literally zero? on advanced phones like ours, you'll never get a chance to fully run down the phone because it'll shut down way before that happens, unless you keep it turned off and sitting there for a couple of weeks, which should almost never happen to anyone.

so i think you can run down the phone, at least till it turns off by itself, and then charge again till full.

[HTC One X] helitrexfly:
Hello,

23 november I flashed the newest version of Cyanogenmod 10 on my HTC One X and it works very good!

Because of garanty I had to flash back to the stock rom.

27 november I flashed again the newest version of Cyanogenmod 10 and I have 2 serious problems.

With the version from 23 november I had around 3,5 hours screen on time and with the version from 27 november I had only 1 hour screen on time before my battery is low. There is no draining app when I look by Settings --> Battery

And when I'm playing a game like Bike Race, GTA, Shine Runner, Temple run ...., my phone shuts down automatically after 5min playing.

The temperature is around 49 celsius / 120 Fahrenheit. So that isn't the problem.

Every day I update CM 10 with OTA to the newest version but I still have the problems.

Does anyone know the solution or the reason?
[HTC One X] staviq:

But the gaming problem isn't resolved..

I think it is an software problem in CM10.
[HTC One X] helitrexfly:
Not more people with this problem?

With GTA Vice City I have also the problem..
[HTC One X] helitrexfly:
3 Weeks ago i flashed back to the stock Rom and the gaming problem was resolved.

Today I flashed again CM10 with the version from yesterday but than I still have the problem.

More people with this problem?

The problem is that when I play a game, then restart the phone after 10 minutes again. The temperature is around 40 degrees.

CM10 is a very nice rom but this problem is really annoying.
