[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
I have the 700, prime, and nexus 10. My prime after latest JB is actually quite useful now. Rarely I get any ANR nowadays but still do happen from time to time. Theres still def some IO issue still. The 700 on JB I find not as smooth as the Prime and I never get any ANR but it does lag some when I'm trying to do things too fast like open a bunch of stuff one after another. I have to let it catch up. From what I hear about putting custom rom is it will eliminate most IO but not completely. The nexus 10 however is a beast. No lag, no ANRs, I can open a lot of apps and def no IO issue. The only thing I dont like is the screen is LCD which makes it sort of dull looking since the black levels arent as good as the Asus. Also lack of keyboard dock which extends battery and memory and makes typing easy. Charge times are too long with micro usb.

For basic browsing, watching movies, casual gaming, then the tf700 is a good device. Better contrast screen and I can barely tell the difference in sharpness between it and the nexus 10. But I think the keyboard dock and its features is what sets it apart from the nexus 10.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Actually it is truly amazing. The vast majority are flawless...most people that post non-development related stuff here are posting complaints...looking for sympathy or corroboration, or better yet, solutions.

Unlocked, rooted and ROMed, this is the fastest tablet I've ever used. That includes most that are not in my signature as well as the ones I own.
[Asus Transformer TF700] short/y:
I found a 32GB Champagne tablet on Adorama for $499 WITH keyboard. Just recently posted a new thread in the General section with a link if anyone's interested. I paid over $100 more at Best Buy for a Grey one that I'll be returning.
[Asus Transformer TF700] furou:
If you take the risk and root it, then you should get this tablet. If you expect a problem free experience from stock ROM, stay away. I only use my tf700 for browsing, reading books, YouTube.. and it's so sluggish and unresponsive. You tap the address bar, lag until the keyboard pops up. You then decide to go back to home screen, 2-3 secs until it registers your choice, then a couple more second to redraw the home screen. This doesn't happen all the time but even occasionally is way way too much. Also forget about doing anything while you're downloading or updating apps, it basically freezes the tablet.

The latest update improved things somewhat but not enough. I was planning to hold off getting clean ROM until after the rumored upcoming 4.2 update, but this is so annoying I'm losing my patience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
Just wondering if you happen to have a nexus 10 as I dont see it in your signature. The nexus 10 is a beast IMO compared to my nexus 7 with cleanrom. Games are super fluid and I can run a lot of things in the background and it doesn't really slow down. I assume tf700 with cleanrom is going to be similar to nexus 7 with cleanrom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ubernewbish:
Hi, I'm new to the forums, searched around, and couldnt find this problem on the note 2.

I just bought mine a couple of days ago, and accidentally added a new home screen. I dont have a use for it, but when i tried to go to edit page -> and drag and drop it into the trash can, the phone freezes, and comes up with the message "Unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped."

My phone is stock, and is not running any extra launcher programs.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
I just tried it and was able to delete all but the homepage (I haven't bothered to set any others up yet anyways). I'd restart your phone and try again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ubernewbish:
Just tried restarting, and it still freezes =[ funny thing is it freezes right when i drag the page to the trash can. Thanks anyways =]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockbll4:
this is the exact problem I have.

I was able to remove pages before rooting. after I flashed revision3 I wasn't able to remove them.

anyone have a fix?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevjef420:
Ok I hate starting a new thread but I have a problem that I can not seem to find any information on it,

I have had my S2 for 1.5 years and have run many many custom roms. Been using Paranoid lately. Today I tried flashing the newest Wanam Lite as my second rom keeping Paranoid as primary. (using dorimanx kernel)

Wanam failed to install. After boot the screen goes black. No problem... I will just go back to my Primary rom. Tried, Tested and True, Paranoid Android.

What's this? My phone is asking for SIM unlock code. I unlocked this phone 1 and a half years ago. Ok so I unlock it the same way i had done in the past for my S2 and many friends S2. I installed "Galaxy S Unlock" from the market and ran it. Ok phone is unlocked and I can use it like normal, as I have network signal.

But as soon as I reboot it is locked again. So now I have to unlock the SIM every time I reboot my phone.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

This is what I have tried so far.

- reinstalled ROM

- wiped dalvic

- wiped data

- wiped cache

- fixed permissions

Nothing I try solves the problem. Every time I reboot I lose my sim unlock.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

anyone have any insight into this??

has this happened to anyone else?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -iNCEPTiON-:
First of all , use the following to unlock your phone, if it works for you that would be gud otherwise flash the rom again (Fresh Install)

You cannot dual boot Leaked JB based roms as of yet ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstonehun:
Exatley same things happend with me at this afternoon. My sgs 2 was unlocked nearly a year ago, and I'v been tryed a new "leaked - out" rom which I've found on the Sammobile forum. I9100XXLSJ - Offical, beta... or alpha.. dunno, but 4.1.2

Few minutes :) later I also tried an another rom... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037363 XXLSJ tweeked by Alliance.

I've wiped everything before every install, and I'm not sure where I've lost my "unlocked" status... Lol.. First time I was thinking its a PIN code only. Obviously I never seen this before. In the last few year I installed, and tried many roms without any issue. Mostly Darky's, CM 7-9.

But long story short: your tool solved my problem under a minute. Thank you so much MR.Killer

Ps: maybe I also tried a CM10 nighty build today.. I cant bear in my mind everything ;)

Glad i helped and you never clicked the thanks button :P

Please CLICK THANKS IF I HELP :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevjef420:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This app solved my problem with the sim unlock. Saw it on the market but it wanted me to pay

I didn't know that the leaked JB could not be dual booted. That would explain the black screen. I think I will back up my primary to SD and try installing that rom again. Does this work on any kernel or just the one it is supplied with?

Anyways. Thanks again. You solved my BIG problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
only 'Philz' kernel does support the leaked Jb rom or one based on it for know:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
The app is free to use if you get it from Spockys thread.

I believe you have to pay if you get it through play store.
[Nexus 10 General] arrtoodeetoo:
Whenever I'm finally able to get my hands on a N10, the first thing I'm going to do is root it and put on a custom ROM that gets rid of that ridiculous Phablet UI. For those of you who have been flashing ROMS on this device, what other ROMS besides Paranoid Android have successfully restored the original Tablet UI? It'd be handy to have a list here for others who are wondering the same thing. It's kind of hard to tell on some of them, especially if they are nightly-based ROMs, which usually don't include a changelog or list of features, and for some reason screenshots in the OP are always lacking.

Also, of the ones with the ability to switch the UI, which ones seem to be the most stable in tablet UI mode?

-------------------------------------------------

The List

-------------------------------------------------

Paranoid Android

-----------/

MaDoCo ROM

This ROM doesn't fully bring back the original UI, but does allow the user to move buttons to the left and right of the bar for easy reach. As you can see in the image below, certain buttons can be moved to whichever side of the screen you like. Mix and match them, or even move them all to the opposite side depending whether you're a lefty or a righty!
[Nexus 10 General] mabast:
Aokp is my favourite ROM of all and had the option to enable tablet ui on their previous 4.1.2. builds. I expect them to implement the option on 4.2.1. soon, and I of course expect them to create builds for the nexus 10 too.
[Nexus 10 General] craigacgomez:
I don't see many ROMs supporting the soon-to-be-deprecated old tablet UI... and quite frankly, after using it a bit, the new UI is not bad at all...
[Nexus 10 General] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm definitely keeping my eye out for an AOKP ROM for the N10. I used it on both my Galaxy Nexus and XOOM and it was one of my favorites (Currently, I'm using CNA, but that's about to change because he's way too unreliable, and his updates take longer than Verizon sometimes, which kind of defeats one of the purposes for using a custom ROM.)

And Craig, whatever floats your boat. My issue isn't necessarily with the fact that they are moving the UI around, my issue is with the fact that they are forcing change on people who prefer the old UI. Some of us realize how unique and efficient it is, and would like to have the choice to continue to use it.
[Nexus 10 General] craigacgomez:
Don't get me wrong... I understand that different people have different opinions and I'm not trying to force you to change your opinion... I merely stated that even though the old tablet UI still works with Android 4.2, it is no longer officially supported by Google and will likely be deprecated in a future release... so the number of ROMs supporting the old tablet UI will be considerably small... I just said give it a chance... that said, I leave it to you to make up your own mind!

AOKP is available for the Nexus 10, but it does not have the old tablet UI yet...
[Nexus 10 General] techenigma:
There is an unofficial port done for the N10 right here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2013361

Been running it for a few hours, and a few items are missing but nothing too major. They are working on getting those missing features back. I'm hoping the N10 because an officially supported device for the team.
[Nexus 10 General] craigacgomez:
Just to clarify, it's not a port... it's an unofficial build until it gets officially integrated...
[Nexus 10 General] Watcher64:
Just my opinion , but I suggest people get used to the new UI , it is just like anything else, companies evolve , and not everyone likes it ..

Car companies change paint colors, dash packages, and options.

PC companies change cases, keyboards monitors and mice.

At some point you are just going to have to grow up and move on.

If a dev wants to build a ROM because he/she likes the old UI then that is awesome, but if it was me, the first person that begged for it, would make me NOT want to do it .

You could always learn to do it yourself ...

(and yes I do know how to do it myself, because I learned, not that I even want the old UI anymore)
[Nexus 10 General] indianajonze:
personally i love the new ui
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
I liked Tablet UI mainly because I could see what time it was and access notifications from within fullscreen apps. But now that stuff is put on the top bar, which gets hidden on fullscreen apps.
[Nexus 10 General] arrtoodeetoo:
Updated the OP to add MoDoCo ROM to the list. This ROM doesn't bring back the full UI, but gives the user control over specific softkey placement on the navigation bar, which is something Google should have done in the first place when they decided to change stuff up. The biggest complaint people have with the new UI is that the buttons you use the most are in the center of the screen away from the thumbs. Sucks for people like me who have short thumbs. The MoDoCo solution is perfectly acceptable for me and may even be preferred by left handed users. :good:
[Nexus 10 General] craigacgomez:
My ROM now has a mod to move the navi button to the left... still a mod zip until I learn to code it to be a configurable option!
[Nexus 10 General] beerope:
Didn't you say that your Roms will never ever have it?
[Nexus 10 General] craigacgomez:
I meant the old tablet UI... I simply have a mod to move the navi buttons... status bar is still on the top... it's still the so called "phablet" UI...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] westkhalifa13:
Has anyone notice how bad the pixel resolution is on the note 2 . When I download apps from the play store and I get the icon on my screen it looks so ugly not crispy at all . Kinda bugss me makes me feel like I got fake apps or something . Let me know what you all think ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] knarfies:
I honestly love the display, have no complaints with crispness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deaffob:
Sold nexus 4 and iphone 5 to come back to gn2. I don't know what you are talking about pixelation. I think you are assuming that GN2 has pentile screen but it has 3 sub pixels just like RBG but it has all the advantages of amoled.

He doesnt have one thats what people do when they dont have one and want to say something to bring it down
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevessvt:
Go stare at a droid razr with its pentile 960x540 resolution for a minute then come back and tell us how mind blowing this screen is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] knarfies:
Deleted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
I think this has to do with the icon being lower resolution. This is the fault of two things. 1 is that the Galaxy Note 2 is high resolution. 2 is that many graphics within apps, including icons get enlarged by the 5.5" screen. With most tablets there is a different icon graphic that is higher resolution than the "Smartphone" icon graphic. You are seeing the "Smartphone" icon graphic on this 5.5" screen. This icon graphic was designed to be for smaller screens. Hopefully this will get better as developers design "Smartphone" icon graphics for larger screens.

This effect is like seeing lower resolution video and graphics on your very high resolution HD very larger screen TV or monitor. This is the downside of using larger, higher resolution screens. And this is only going to get worse on lower resolution videos and graphics with higher resolution larger screens.

One of the things you can do is use a different Home Launcher. The choose to have more columns and rows on your desktop and app drawer. This will smaller the size of the icons to the point that they become less pixelated. Some Launchers will allow you to resize the icons too. Either way resizing the icons to smaller size should solve the pixelated icons problem.

I personally like the adding more columns and rows because that utilizes the screen real-estate to with more icons.

Some favorite Home Launchers are:

Nova Launcher Prime

ADWLauncher EX

Apex Launcher Pro

Go Launcher EX

Nova Launcher (free version)

Apex Launcher (free version)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] westkhalifa13:
Ok to the reply that says I dont have a note please check where the post is being post from it says right below what im using..to others thanks for your opinions I guess it is the note thats too much of a high resolution for some apps . I know the s3 has higher pixels and a smaller screen so everything looks crispier thats what I meant. Hate to admit but just being picky on little details. Another question does anyone have issues with theyre micro usb charger mine falls of the phone on its own weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] decalex:
I wouldn't say it's terrible, but the quality is noticeable if comparing.

The note2 has the same res as the S3, both 720x1280, so lower ppi (267) bc of the larger screen.

Coming from the GNexus (316) ppi, I def notice it. Same next to a nexus4 (320ppi) with 768 x1280. For comparison, the iphone5 and 4S are 326ppi. The droid dna is a ridic 441ppi (1920x1080).. But haven't seen it in person yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] westkhalifa13:
Yes it is noticeable glad you can see it. But by all means the note is hands down one of the best phones ive had coming from an iphone 4s and a galaxy s prior to that. Would anyone downgrade to the s3 ?? Just out of curiosity .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr.Mischief:
I've had the iPhone 5, Galaxy S III, Note I, Nexus 4, Galaxy S II i9100, Galaxy S II T989, HTC One X, and many others.

This screen is gorgeous.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] netninja:
Yeah I've noticed it too coming from a galaxy nexus. Text and icons could definitely be sharper but it's still a pretty awesome screen. I think if you had a rom that could change the dpi, it might improve things.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

Interesting. I was debating between the Note II and the Nexus 4. What made you switch back or what made you decide for the note II vs nexus 4? I'll be curious to know if you're willing to share :cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] baronsamedi:
I agree 100% but it doesn't bother me at all.. I do look at some app icon and feel they are not crisp but may its because my brightness is on low?!?!? Still In love though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr.Mischief:
I sold my Nexus 4 because battery life wasn't that great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
There was a review, not sure who wrote it but it did state that some icons did look a little old on this display. I can understand. You have this beautiful HD background and some apps icons look out of place, like the were made with a dot matrix printer.

A lot of it is in the dpi and icon res soon more will be hd glad you got your answers though shame people got crazy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
i wish the display on the GN2 was like on the iPhone 5 or even iPhone 4/4s, the icons on those phones are CRISP and perfect. I like the GN2 of course but i wish it had the ability to do 6x6 grid without messing around with DPI in builprop because then others apps get effected too...plus would like to do this WITHOUT a launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr.Mischief:
It's not the screen that makes the icons look smooth. The icons just aren't optimised for the Note II resolution. I have an iPhone 5 and a Note II. I'd take my Note II over an iPhone any day. The screen is just to beautiful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
agreed, the GN2 does have a beautiful screen, but i wish the screen quality was as good as on an iPhone...Retina is Retina lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ionic7:
that is from the screen beeing set to a cooler setting, on the gs3 there were some kernels that had that feature, hopefully some here will have it soon, but i know exactly what oyu are talking about man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pewterwest:
The droid DNA is really impressive based on PPI, but I was under the impression that there was a limit to what the human eye could distinguish.

I could be wrong, but wasn't the reason the Iphone called it a "retina" display because it was the highest (or close) to what the human eye could differentiate? I mean once you get over a certain number, wouldn't they all look the same?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
well I am definitely glad to know that I am NOT the only one haha i felt like i was being singled out and you guys were gonna throw me to some iPhone forums haha =P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] decalex:
Yea.. that was the apple sell-speak. I'm actually curious to see the DNA's angle at countering that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aznmode:
I notice it too but I think its matter of just getting used to it like getting used to the note 2s size. Comparing to s3 I definitely can tell with icons and texts but if I didnt have the s3 I doubt I would notice. Also Morfic developer of Derkernel is trying to get a note 2 (if he hasnt already) so hopefully he will have something for us. He's the only one I know of that develops kernel that changes the hue to a cooler blue hue. Somehow having a cooler hue makes things looks sharper than having a yellow hue which makes the screen more dull.

Here's his website incase you guy wanna check it out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darekz:
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't original iPhone have "retina" display at 163 ppi. I think 3g had same resolution too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimmy2027:
Even if its "bad", I don't think it is really that "bad". Unless you have super human eyes, I can hardly see any "bad" pixels as seen on lower end aka text messaging phones. By the way, Did I mention that my eyes are super good?? Be it 720p or 1080p, to me 1080p is just simply bigger in terms of number and file size. 1080p phones are gradually becoming a norm if that makes ya happy.
