Dude you forgot your recovery....I'm not sure how though as it should be in all instuctions posted. Recovery is the second most important thing you should understand, of course after knowing and understanding root.

Don't do it because your friend Bob has a rooted phone and says you will get tons of free apps ( this is not CRApple OS ) do it because you understand the benefits of having a rooted device.

*edit*

Listen to youngcorruption and download ROM manager to at least get recovery then start reading

Hi guys. Everytime i use usb OTG, i unmounted it, i'll get a freeze n reboot afterwards. How to solve this problem? TQ..:o
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
Please provide a little more information. I'm stock-rooted, 4.2.1, cwm recovery, stickmount pro. It works perfectly. Do you unmount it by pulling down the notification bar and touching Stickmount to unmount before you unplug the cable?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakarotto.ss1:
Sorry.. im using smooth custom ROM, rooted,unlocked.. i did both but still freeze after i unplugged the flash drive..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosa44:
I'm having the same issue myself. Stick Mount was working fine for months and then this happened. I remembered that I recently updated to PD 2.99 Beta 8. This version actually shows USB storage under your system settings. I couldn't get that to work by itself and it is probably due to the kernel I am currently using. Ill have to test a few out. So I'm thinking with the updated rom's USB support running together with Stick Mount might be causing some problems too. There's my 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FrankyFiggz27:
I'm hoping maybe there's a developer that can incorporate Cornerstone, which is open source, into an AOSP rom to quench our thirst for multi-window capabilities on AOSP Roms. Cornerstone actually seems like it might have some serious advantages over multi-window, too. Have at it!!

Here is the linnk -> http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] IvanNCase:
Yeah I was curious about this too. I remember earlier this year when it came out and there was talk about it being added to cyanogen but then Google gave them a hard time about using it because it might not play nice with some apps but now that Samsung has there multi window I wonder how that argument will fly.

I've googled this topic and searched and can't find any conclusive information.

I found a post online where a user put his Verizon SIM card in his US Cellular Galaxy S3 and it activated fine and worked for voice calls. He wasn't getting LTE and was having trouble with MMS, but no one responded to his question that I could tell.

Now I'm looking to do the same thing and am wondering if that guy had installed Verizon's ROM on the US Cellular S3 if that would have been all that was needed. I don't know if it is even possible to flash a Verizon ROM onto the USCC handset.

Anyone with any experience or ideas in this area?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aooga:
AFAIK, thats what happens when you put a AT&T, Tmobile, or any other carrier sim card in another phone. ATT and tmobile are the only ones who will get data.

You can take a look at this thread..not sure if it will help. I've been able to get my friends ATT sim activated in my phone and everything worked but data.

Have Tried to find which case do people prefer - Between Rearth Ringke and Diztronic. The owners of both seem to love it, but dint find any comaring one with another - need help in deciding which one to buy( Both available on Amazon)

Those who've used/have Both - Please give the specific details of why/if you like one over the other.

And, Color choice - Grey vs Metallic Black?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
the Matte Navy Ringke Slim is awesome. Looks great on a N4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Locksmith81:
Love them both! Bought 4 cases from each manufacturer... Depending on the day and how I feel... Gotta have options. :D

Protection... Diztronic

Slim light weight and want to to look Nexy...

[Nexus 4 Accessories] eep02b:
Co-sign. The revised case is awesome, and fits super well. Cut outs are all perfect.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
I have Skinomi skin protector on with Ringke. The top-left corner is a little too tight and it pushes the skin protector up a bit. Regardless, I still love the case a lot.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] weysonn:
Anyone have any thoughts on Nillkin vs Ringke vs Diztronic?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arid711:
Have 2 Ringkes and a black Diztronic, of the 3, the white Ringke is by far my favourite. The Diztronic is nice, too but I find it takes away from the visual clean lines of the Nexy where as the Ringkes are so minimal, you don't notice it. Will likely be selling the Dizt shortly.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
What was the color of the other slim case? Mines black, the Grey one looked very appealing to me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arid711:
Of the Ringkes, I have one black and one white. I pondered on the grey as well but did't want to buy too many. The white is simply stunning.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] munkybeatz:
Ringke All the Way!!!

I have both and I'd have to say Ringke is the best of the two. I especially like it because of how clean it is, looking that is. Keeps the phone looking very sleek.

Also, Rearth Ringke has very good customer service. At least with me they have. I pre-ordered the original one, and it had the slight manufacturer defect. I just e-mailed them through amazon asking for a replacement, not a refund. They had the revised edition in my mailbox on December 12th, day after they started shipping. They didn't charge me a dime, and even told me to keep the defected one and how to 'bend' it to correct it. I only sent a single e-mail, and they honored their product. Don't really see that much for accessory providers, at least in my experience.

Edit:

I have an xoskin on my phone with this case, and it doesn't mess with the screen protector at all. The xoskin is actually the best screen protector I've bought so far. I doesn't even feel like it's there. Smooth glossy/glass like movement when swiping.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
I vouch for this. Except I contacted them directly towards emails and no response (maybe they dont check those emails? .. not sure, but i got one from support@rearthusa.com but I eventually gave in and just called them and the lady was really nice) same case scenario over here. Got it replaced without question, received it Saturday.

Using the Black one here. Eco packaging very nice as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidfoshizzle:
Diztronic hardcase ftw
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
How is your screen protector holding up with the Diztronic case?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mvivekc:
When you say protection - Diztronic , do you mean - the Ringke doesnt protect the phone as Diztronic does??
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
Well the Ringke will just protect from scratches. The Diztronic is TPU so it will protect from small drops.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jarjar124:
I think he is using the ReEarth case
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
I usually always get a Diztronic cases for my devices, until I replace it with a Mercury Pearl Tpu, as they become available outta Korea.

This time since there wasn't any Diztronic yet, so I went for the Nillikin and I am very impressed.

I may still buy a Diztronic eventually if I don't like the Poetic Atmosphere or a Mercury Pearl doesn't come out soon.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ugrifja:
I own both and I would say diztronic ftw.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nagle3092:
Same. The rearth is junk IMO. I was disappointed since I love the slim on my gnex but it just feels like they cut a lot of corners on the N4 version.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Cut corners as....? The Slim Rearth case looks exactly the same on the S3. it's their newer model of their cases whereas GN had everything covered on the sides.

Definitely not junk, I prefer the new style over the old. But the old one provides more protection, the new one i like the material of it a lot more.

I bought the 4$ OEM off eBay and it was worse than my already dying battery. Then paid for a mugen 1800... not that much better
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] revile:
I've read mixed reviews on these bargain batteries. We'll see I guess.

There were three 3500s left when I posted this thread.. now there's 2. Who else bought one? :p

I plan on running stress tests from full charge. (screen on 100%, gps on, wifi, data, fm radio, and google music streaming)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fen0m:
The best battery I used was 2 evo4g 1900 mah batteries for 7$ on eBay. The battery lasted 2 days with decent use but unfortunately I could not get it to charge with the phone on any rom... even though the polarities looked the same as our batteries.. if only..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] revile:
Yea the $4 one came in yesterday and after 36 hours I can tell it's not as good as the original oem. It's not horrible and will serve as a decent backup.. but certainly not a DD battery.. no way.

I'm more curious to give the 3500 a spin. Hopefully that arrives today.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Can't wait to hear about the 3.5Ah!

I have a 2.2, I think. Probably could last me three days if I didn't surf and play so much.

Edit -

I should mention that I usually end the day with about 50% left.

Today I'm already at 14% at 6pm because I watched two hour-long videos and did all the other surfing stuff as well.

Curious what you use to test your batteries with.

I run Battery Monitor Widget Pro and always wipe stats for a new battery. Great app for tracking battery performance.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] revile:
Sorry, I haven't been able to test much. The performance was so crappy the few times I did use it that it hasn't left my shelf ever since. I know I said I was going to do standardized tests but I've been super busy the past few weeks.

As for the anecdote- I charged the 3500 up to 100% and went out for a night on the city at about 2pm. It was dead by 11pm and I was pissed. However, I'm not willing to pass judgement on it yet because I was running PAC at the time which absolutely devoured whatever battery I used.

Now that I'm back on stable CM7 it's a bit different. I'll charge her up tonight and do some comparisons this weekend.

In my experience a battery needs to be exercised a few times before it "matures".

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] revile:
You're probably right. I'll have some more definitive results on Monday.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
I bought a cheapo battery for my G1 from my favorite cheapo Chinese stuff website - dealextreme.com.

I think I got an extended battery for my OG Droid there as well, long time ago. They were ok.

I absolutely love big batteries. And paying as little as possible for them. :D

-MROM on DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] revile:
So I don't have any definitive results. Overall the 3500 does last longer but not by much. I ran it from 100 to 1 twice over the past week and made sure it received standard use and no charges. I have attached 2 screenshots of the drain plus one with the top culprits for drain. Like many 3rd party batteries it tends to take a nosedive once reaching ~18%. You have maybe 10 minutes left when it hits that mark.

My workplace has horrible signal so cell standby is probably much higher for me than it would be for most. For comparison, my OEM lasts about 14-18 hours without a charge.

Bottom line:

3500 mAh linked above- You can't go wrong for $9. It performs like a ~2500mAh. the case is good quality too.

1500mAh linked above - might come to the range with me next time for target practice. That thing is worthless and is maybe good for 4 hours of standard use. Streaming a 1 hour playlist from Google music used approximately 40% of the battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Good to hear.

It's sad that we can't trust the ratings on the batteries, but I am glad it worked as well as it did and that the cover was acceptable, too.

I've read a lot of battery reviews on Amazon and even then it's a tough decision to make. Like you said, for the $9 it's ok.

I'll never buy a $50 battery, but if I did I would certainly expect it to perform to the advertised spec. Sadly, the reviews on those batteries are as mixed as the reviews for the cheapies.

-MROM on DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AckerMAN_:
Some interesting information

Bought similar battery a few months ago. On standart battery I has only 10-15% left at evening (music, instant messaging and serfing drains battery wery well), with this enhanced battery my phone lasts 2-3 days. I attached the photo to compare it with default battery.

The main disadvantage of it, suddenly, was the incredibly low signal level (only 1 bar on WCDMA in wooden house, 2-3 bars on GSM), problem was in antenna that is located at the down of back cover. As you can see, two contacts was joined. Just split them, and signal should improve. It helped me, but not too noticeably. So, I have to put copper wire on the back cover and even to prolong it beyond. It looks very ugly, but now signal level is even better than on stock battery (always full signal level on the street even in 3G mode). Low signal level results in higher battery drain and heat.

I don't know why HTC decided to save money on antennas in our phone. Because stock battery cover GSM-antenna is worse than any Nokia (it's much smaller, but in antennas, size matter, a lot). Wi-Fi antenna is bad too.

Also, battery indicator in our phone is not works as it should, I think. 0% is actually not zero level. Real Lithium-Ion battery zero level is 3.2-3.3V (sometimes even smaller, but it's not recommended to to discharge it beyond this level, it may damage battery), but HTC controller tells 0% at 3.5-3.6V and Android forcibly powers off the phone. When I used De-Sensed V firmware, where Android power off function on zero battery level not worked (may be, it was disabled in services.jar, there is the way to do this thing), I could run up to one hour in ICQ on 0% and even some hours in idle mode, before the battery controller blocked battery discharge to protect it (voltage was around 3.2V). It's disappointing that I can't make an urgently call while I actually have the power level enough to do this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Thank you! Very nice to read your solution for the antenna!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
AckerMAN_ can you give more details about your antenna fix?

I see in the photo that the cover has two plastic fingers that are painted with copper colored paint.

My cover has metal fingers attached to it for the connection. They are like springs.

Can you attach a photo of your antenna wire, please?

This phone is famous for poor signal and many others would be interested in a way to improve reception.

-MROM on DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AckerMAN_:
There is a photo of back cover with attached wire. Also, I attached the screenshot of current reception level. I hope it will be useful.

Also, I'm thing about patching services.jar, I'll try it when have enough time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Thank you for the photos!

-MROM on DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AckerMAN_:
servicer.jar patch

It works!

I just repacked services.jar using APKTool (google it) with removing all shutdownIfNoPower() calls from BatteryService.smali.

Now I can run some more time on battery. According to my previous experience (second screen from January), battery controller should forcibly turn power off when voltage will reach 3.2V level. Also, looks like it's some sort of protection in bootloader, because phone not powers on if battery charge is lower then 3.5V-3.6V without connected charger, so be careful, do not restart phone on low battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Very interesting. So now you have a new "zero point" at 3.2V or is zero still at 3.5V but the phone does not automatically shut down until 3.2V?

-MROM on DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AckerMAN_:
0% level is still 3.5V, but phone continues to work until voltage drops to 3.2V.

To tweak Android battery indicator, it's required to patch the kernel.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Well done!

A question about the antenna -

Did you worry about the length of the wire you installed? I am not a broadcast engineer, but I thought that antennas need to be a certain length for the wavelength that is received.

-MROM on DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AckerMAN_:
Now I'm using approximately 19cm-wire, which is located entirely outside phone, although wavelength calculator tells 14cm (xttp://wavelengthcalculator.com). It works perfectly both with GSM-900/1800 and with WCDMA2100. Today I had -80 dBm and better (almost stable 5 bars) inside bathroom (without any windows) in concrete building. It's very, very good.

Tomorrow I'll test this antenna improvement at the university, I had very poor 3G-signal (1-2 bars) in one lecture room, which has only highly located windows. The only disadvantage of this fix is, obviously, look and feel. May be later I'll attach FM-tuner antenna with copper wire inside. It should look more beatiful.
