[General Questions and Answers] swboland:
Ok so I did a lot of searching and have not been able to find anything for this... I found a couple of threads started by people asking if it is possible or if there is one that exists but those did not receive any real responses so I'm hoping that one of the amazing devs here can help please.

So what I'd like is a homescreen widget, or possibly a Live wallpaper, which shows the live cards from Google Now.

There are countless Google Now themed UCCW skins that people have put out. I don't want that.

I also found a way to create homescreen icons that LOOK like Google Now cards. But all those do is launch apps, they do not update with live information from Google Now.

I'm not sure why Google Now wasn't created with a widget. It just seems to make sense. It's kind of annoying that you have to open the app to get all this information, instead of having it right in front of your face on your homescreen where you can access other apps quickly as well. I mean the point of google now is to present you with information before you need it right? How is that possible if I can't get the info without opening the app.

So I'm hoping there is, if anything, some sort of work around here.

Maybe someone knows of a way to create a widget with desktop visualizer that will show the live Google now cards and update them.

I'm hoping for a scrollable widget that will be almost exactly like Google Now (i.e new cards will pop up as they do in the app, you can scroll up and down to view all of the cards you currently have, you can swipe to remove cards - (come to think of it you probably won't be able to swipe to remove cards, but maybe a double tap or something?))

It would probably be best if this widget did not include the google search bar and simply showed the google now cards.

I remember hearing about an app in the past that could overlay live wallpapers on each other. Is there a way to overlay an app into a live wall paper? so that you could see Google Now as your live wall paper, even if maybe you can't actually interact with it this way?

For now I'm going to try setting up something with tasker, so that google now will automatically open every morning when I turn off my alarm, and possibly at other points (maybe when a new card pops up or something). Something similar to this could probably be done with the smart actions app if people are interested in trying that out. But honestly I feel like this is not the best solution because I'd rather not have tasker running constantly, eating my RAM and therefore my battery.

So I don't know if the reason there is no widget already is because it simply is not possible. And if it's not possible could someone please explain why?

Also, so that I can try to work on this myself - can someone please help me by telling me which files Google now uses for getting and updating cards? (i.e. the file names I would see in Titanium or under Settings>Apps or in a file explorer where they would be located - I'm guessing somewhere in the /system/ folder) If I can access these I can play around with them and try some things out

TIA to all who reply...

Do I need to root the stock rom after unlocking the bootloader? I just want to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery and flash a rom to get verizons bloated junk out a here. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
What u mean by root the stock Rom?once u r unlocked and rooted just back up ur stock Rom. Then flash away
[HTC Droid DNA] gris1016:
I was just wanting to get off the stock rom, the one out of the box from verizon. Do i have to root the stock rom from verizon, or can i just flash a rom through recovery with out rooting the original stock rom? I know most custom roms have root baked in. I dont want to back up verizons junk. I was just wondering if i could skip rooting the stock setup. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
If you are replacing the ROM, you don't need to worry about rooting the stock ROM. You may still want to use fastboot to flash a root enabled kernel however.

Due to our unique Dev unlock flashing a custom ROM (that is root enabled) won't also flash the kernel on the dna. You must flash kernels in fast boot instead of recovery.

Some things that require root in androide, also require a kernel that is root enabled.

I would also encourage you to make a backup of your stock rom in recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] gris1016:
i was just curios. Thanks for responding
[HTC Droid DNA] jamesbra:
You don't have to use fast boot. You can put the flash_image binary in system/bin and use that from the terminal for the *.img part

If I use the utility here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975274 it boots into the CM version bundled.

But then when I boot into CMW and update to the latest build (now 17.12, I'm doing a clean install) and then reboot, the phone just hangs on the CM animation.

Just installed google wallet, works fine.

Changed Build.prop back to stock.

Now, when trying to use S-pen in S-note, get the error:

"polaris engine not supprted with device I650"

Have checked the build prop several times, its right.

Perhaps use Titanium to wipe the cache on S-note?

Any other thoughts before flashing back to stock rooted?

Wondering which ad blocker works best blocking the adds.

So far my research came up with

AdFree

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree

and

AdAway

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adaway&hl=en

just wondering if anyone have had experience using either?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peacewise:
I've used AdAway for a few months and it works great. Disabled the notifications in Jelly Bean and it just does its thing in the background, which is exactly what I'm looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
none.

ads are there to support... i don't know.. the dev? which is supplying you the app for free?

p.s.: if you don't agree with this, then i'm sure you will find your answer. like the one by the previous poster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I agree to a point. The other point is that these developers get money per click, and I don't intend on clicking them anyways sooooo...

The other reason I use an adblocker is for ads on websites. This site is the worst offender. Try navigating it from a mobile device with all those awful popups with the super small X.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
AdAway is the best one imo.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derPianist:
Hey guys. :)

So, here is the deal.

After using my Nexus 4 for 5 Days now, I encountered a problem regarding the build quality.

I can press the back glass a bit into the phone on the left side down.

It makes a crazy and annoying sound which makes me feel like I am holding a piece of cheap plastic in my hands.

Anyone else with the same problem or similar problems regarding build quality?

So, now when I am going to request a exchange device, to I have to be charged? I am using a PrePaid Kreditcard.

Can anybody tell me more about the Exchange process @Google?

Help is much appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
When you RMA a phone they charge your credit card and put a hold on it for the exact amount of another phone. They send you a new phone and you send the old one back in usually in the same package they just sent as it should contain a shipping label. Once they receive the old phone back they release your funds. If in 30 days they do not get the old phone back they charge your credit card and keep the funds.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Terry Ligi:
Just got back from sprint store.For a week I've been getting the message " sd card unexpectedly removed"at least 10 times a day.Took the tech 2 minutes ,said the phone needed to be calibrated to the sd card.Never heard of this,but my galaxy s3 is working fine.

This is my first thread ever.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uodii:
There's a good chance your sd card may be dead or at least on it's way out. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I was getting the same message over and over and didnt even think about it because the card was only 2 months old. I would suggest connecting it to your computer with whatever adapter you may have (not your phone, either a usb-microSD or even sd-microSD adapter) and try to copy everything off of it.

I know this was not a phone issue with me because I have spare microSDs that all work fine still.

Good luck and hopefully you're able to transfer your info off the card if that is in fact your problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ou2mame:
calibrated? lol... never heard of that. sound's like he formatted it. which yeah, indicates that its probably on its way out if its getting corrupted. do you still have your original data on it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] supercholo:
Never heard of that as a tech. As far as I know of there is no way to "calibrate" an SD card or slot. I have however had a slot go bad in an s3 or your SD card may be on the outs.
[HTC Rezound] armchairbear:
First off, I've enjoyed using the Rezound, it's a good phone. But after a year, I've gotten tired of it's inadequate battery life and bulkiness.

The Droid RAZR m seemed like a phone I would like.

Battery Life: I have the extended battery for the Rezound, which is rated at 2750mAh. The Droid RAZR m's battery is rated at 2050mAh. The Rezound had the bigger battery, but in real life use, the RAZR m lasted longer. I could easily get 3.5 hours of "Screen On" time on the RAZR m, while I'd be lucky to get 2.5 hours of screen on time with the Rezound. This is probably due to the less pixel dense screen of the RAZR m and it's more efficient S4 processor.

Physical Size: The RAZR m feels much smaller. Feels like it's 2/3 the size of the Rezound. It also feels much lighter. It feels like 4" screen phone. It's hard to imagine that the RAZR m and the Rezound have the same screen size. Even seeing both side by side, it's hard to believe. You'd have put them right next to each other and look closely. The RAZR m is much easier for my small hands to use.

Speed: The RAZR m with the S4 processor is noticeably faster than the Rezound with the S3 processor. Both are rated at 1.5GHz and have 1GB RAM, but with the RAZR m, there is no lag what so ever. Everything is buttery smooth. The Rezound is definitely fast once it gets going, but does feel laggy at certain points.

What I'll miss from the Rezound:

The beautiful HD screen: Watching videos and surfing the web on the Rezound was a much better visual experience. With the Rezound, I could shrink text size and still read it, on the RAZR m, forgetaboutit. Viewing the qHD resolution on the RAZR m is like viewing my old Incredible's 480x800 screen, which is decent, but not great.

Sound quality: Both phones are loud enough, but the Rezound easily sounds better.

Sense: I still think that Sense is the best looking android skin. I'd even say it looks better than iOS. The skin on the RAZR m is basically AOSP Android with some slight theming.

In the end, the RAZR m won me over with it's great battery life, speed, and size.

I'm still keeping my Rezound as a backup because it's still a good phone.

So good bye for now.
[HTC Rezound] texascfdad:
My wife has a Razr m. It's a really nice phone it's very fast very smooth and I hate to say it it's better than the Rezound except the screen. The UI is pretty close to vanilla the speakers really good on it I just don't like the nonremovable battery. The screen is very crisp but it's very pixelated and battery life is really good too

Sent from my mcluvn themed One xXx ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] armchairbear:
I thought the non-removable battery would bother me too, but TBH, I hardly ever switched batteries on the fly with my previous phones. It was a hassle to me, to have to carry the extra battery and doing the switch. I'm a moderate to heavy user, and the RAZR m can make through my usual day. I'll probably use it even more on the weekends, and this coming weekend is the first weekend I'll have it, so I'll see if it passes the test.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
I have an s off rezound. I bought my wife a razr m and she had a Nexus previously. She hated the razr m. It got worse signal than her nexus, the camera was terrible. I liked the size. It is fast. I compared it to my rezound and while the m may have an s4... It was utterly inferior imo to my rezound. The camera was terrible. I take many pics. My old razr maxx had a much better camera. Inside pics were terrible. I hope your experience is different. I sold it after 1 day of ownership and it was upgraded to jellybean. She now has a gs3. I couldn't part with my rezound for that phone. Battery life was decent tho. If you have no concern for pictures at all then you may like it.
[HTC Rezound] armchairbear:
True. The camera on the Razr m is pretty bad. I don't take many pictures, so it hasn't bothered me too much. For me, the better battery life makes up for it.

And the snappy S4 processor makes it such a joy to use.

And the size of the phone just feels right in my hand.

TBH, I wish there was an Android phone at this size and specs with a better camera and 300ppi, but manufacturers don't seem to want to make phones like that. So the Razr m is the closest thing.

Yes, the Razr m has its shortcomings, but it comes up short on things I'm not to picky about, so I'm really enjoying this phone.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
I loved the overall size of mine. My needs are just different than yours. The m is blazing fast. Its way more powerful than I expected it to be. Glad to hear it worked out
[HTC Rezound] texascfdad:
It's actually the same exact hardware as the razr maxx hd. Screen and battery size are the only difference. Moto never has great cameras. It's not horrible, but its not HTC. It's a helluva lot better than the d2g my wife had before lol.

[HTC Rezound] blackhand1001:
Surprised you didn't go for the RAZR HD or HD maxx.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
I have used both the maxx Hd and the m and the maxx Hd camera blows the m away. Hell my old maxx blew the m away
[HTC Rezound] armchairbear:
Razr HD and MAXX are too big for my small hands

I was very tempted to get the Razr HD MAXX for it's battery life and screen, but I just really didn't want another big phone.

Razr HD MAXX is probably a really good phone. Fast S4 processor, nice HD screen, big battery (yet still thinner than the Rezound), good camera, Micro hdmi video out.

But when I held the MAXX in my hand, I didn't like how it felt. It was way too wide for me. And I would have put a case on it, so it would be even worse. The Razr m with a case still feel nice and small in my hand.
[HTC Rezound] Outta:
I went from rezzy to m a few weeks ago, very happy with my choice.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
That's because the M is pretty much a 4" screen phone. It's not androids to androids in this comparison because HTC still isn't using on screen buttons. So the usable screen size on the M is not 4.3".
[HTC Rezound] Outta:
actuallu it is you can run in full screen mode very easily.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
Ok. How then?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Let's say you are watching a YouTube video. The buttons disappear. There are many root apps that allow you to hide them too. In aokp there is a setting to hide them. Need anymore?
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
Root? I thought you said easy? Rooting in itself can be difficult for most people. And sure some apps take advantage of the extra space and hide the buttons, but most don't. My point is that I don't really consider it a 4.3" screen. So yes, I need more.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
well thats a matter of opinion. no matter what you say, it is a 4.3" screen and you cannot change that. when im watching something, it goes full screen. most of the time i dont need the full screen to begin with. plus the screen looks super sexy without the buttons.
[HTC Rezound] fo0you:
You know what isn't sexy though? That big a** Verizon logo, lol.

The phone has a great feel and is undeniably faster than the Rezound. Screen is not as high-res, but I truthfully don't care all that much and the battery life is amazing.

Camera blows.. I'll probably end up loading sense ROM on my Rezound for pics and CM10 on the M
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
I think you missed my original point and now you just want to argue. My point was that they use on screen buttons. So the phone can be smaller with a bigger screen. But I still don't think it's a fair comparison. And yes, that is my opinion.

You can do it from your phone if you're rooted by using a root explorer type app and copy/cut and pasting the CWM data into a folder on the SDCARD.
