[Galaxy S III General] Alex E:
Why are you like that... Don't be so negative man. I know what kind of ROM and kernel I need and I download+edit my ROMs/kernels accordingly. If I change my opinion, I change my kernel/ROM.

Ok then, me for example:

I bought my new SGSIII and first flashed the very popular Siyah kernel. However, I don't like being mainstream :p Then I used Speedmod for a while because it's a very stable and battery saving kernel, but I was missing the tweaks and OC/UV. It's also based on pegasusq while I prefer lulzactiveq. Now I'm trying Perseus, still seeing what I can do with that.

As a ROM I'm using DarkyROM, but it's a bit too heavy for my liking. I'm going to use VikingWay since that's very light, and I'll see what happens. I've also got Complex-D lined up for testing. I don't really use AOSP ROMs because I love Sammy's camera and agenda software (yeah I really do like them :p) and I can't use those on AOSP ROMs.

Rom preference threads never end well.
[Galaxy S III General] diego9016:
OMG this again?

When will people learn?
[Galaxy S III General] jcurran.jc:
Crdroid is just a great rom loads of customisations.

Perseus kernel is a goos choice for my performance and battery life.

Good idea with this thread
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FIESTY2:
I am new here and I am scared I messed up my S3. I installed the CM 10.1 nightly build 12.18.12 yesterday and my file system is messed up. The original files that I had on my phone are hidden, I can't see them. I don't even get the option to look in the 0/ folder while browsing the internal memory, I don't see anything. In addition, I'm using a FAT32 formatted microSD but the phone won't store anything on it. When I plug the phone into my computer in MTP mode with the SD card installed, I can see the internal memory if I click on the SD card and nothing if I try to click on the internal memory. Without the card installed, nothing comes up. Most importantly, I have two clockworkmod recovery files on my internal memory that I can't access when I go into recovery, it says that it can't find them. I can see the folder, only with the micro SD installed even though everything in on the internal memory, if I go to install from zip and look for them. I don't know how to get clockworkmod recovery to see, access, and install the recovery to get my phone back to the way it was. PLEASE HELP!!!

Is it possible to just unroot and have my phone go back to "day 1" when I got the phone out of the box?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skinnemuva:
Same issues for me

I am having the same issues. I have tried to move files with the phone connected via USB to my computer and also though the file explorer on the phone and I can't. Not sure why CM 10.1 was set up to mess with the file formatting, etc, but it screwed stuff up. I have tried going back to CM 10 (which is awesome and very stable) but I don't have the right gapps and can't get the right ones installed...

Anyone have any ideas on how to return the files to the original locations?

There isn't a way for you to go back to day one unless you download the original ROM and flash it. Good luck get that installed at this point though...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
To get back to day 1 just flash a stock rom from the stock rom thread in OG development using Odin. That will bring you back to either out of the box ics or newest jellybean update, depending on which one you choose.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shadysrag:
i have xperia p and i want to change the font which need root to do so my question is

if i make a root and cwm recovery without open bootloader

is that going to avoid my waranty

thank you in advance :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
Nope that wont affect ur warranty because both can b undone
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shadysrag:
thank u for reply

can u told me how can i undone that after finish change font
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
The root can be unrooted via the same software - bin4ru method.

CWM will be automaticaly lost when you install official ROM via flashtool.
[General Questions and Answers] Megafast13:
Hey guys, I'm finally fed up with my lg p506 thrive:

I am running the Android 2.2.2 system. My kernal version is 2.6.32.9

Is it possible to so called 'root' this phone in order to make it perform faster. I am always getting the low space warnings and barely have any apps on it. I know this isn't the most state of the art phone at all, but if their's anything you guys could recommend besides moving apps to my SD card I would really appreciate it!

I'm a newbie at any sort of rooting so if you guys could assist me it'd be great. From my research here, people say to install Gingerbreak 1.2 APK. My main question being, where do I "install' this file when I have my phone connected via USB?

Thanks,

[HTC One X] fjlour:
Hi there,

I've updated the hboot in order to test ARHD JB ROM, but then I reverted back to ICS by restoring the CWM backup I had. The phone got stuck at the HTC logo screen after the restore, so I flashed a custom Kernel and it worked fine.

But now the display colours are very different than what they used to be. They are darker, with more contrast, more stauraded, I don't like it.

Does this have something to do with the hboot update?

What can I do in order to have the same display calibration I had previously?

Do I need to flash the ICS ROMs boot.img?

What defines the display colour calibratio? the Rom, the boot.img, or the hboot?

Thanks in advance guys!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Dont know about this problem, i'm running an ics rom on 1.36 and don't have this issue !?
[HTC One X] fjlour:
Maybe I need to flash boot.img of the current ICS ROM? I didn't flash it, so I assume that if the CWM recovery restore didn't install a boot.img then I still have the boot.img from JB ROM, which might contain different display calibration settings.

Does this make any sense?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah yes, lesson 1 : always flash the kernel that comes with the rom or nandroid backup ! Unless the OP of the rom says different !!!
[HTC One X] fjlour:
So, flashing the corresponding boot.img has nothing to do with it? It's a kernels problem?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Boot.img = kernel
[HTC One X] fjlour:
Didn't work. Perhaps the color calibration is within the hboot, so there's nothing I can do... :(
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Don't have a clue ! Can't help you any further with this i'm afraid !
[HTC One X] ViktorN:
I highly doubt that your issue is related to kernel, rom or hboot. Could it be that it's just your imagination?
[HTC One X] fjlour:
:) It's not my imagination. When the phone starts, after around 5sec it applies the colour calibration settings. When I had the previous hboot (1.12) the white background on the "HTC logo" turned to a warmer white, now it doesn't, it just changes a little o on green part of the HTC logo.

I managed to install a JB ROM again and compare the two ROMS, ICS and JB and in the ICS ROM there's a more present tone of red and a little bit higher contrast which makes the dark tones even darker.

In the JB ROM since it must have different colour settings, the screen looks brighter and the colours are more balanced, just like I had before the hboot update.

I assume that the hboot prepares the display for the ROM colour settings and since this new hboot 1.36 is the one for JB, it works great with the JB ROMs, however, since the ICS ROMs have different colour settings they will behave differently.

So I assume there's nothing I can do except to put a JB ROM in order to get the good colour reproduction again.

in the weekend I will try to take a few photos in Manual exposure mode and see if I can show you the difference.
[HTC One X] fjlour:
I've been testing an app called "Filter your Screen" and I managed to reduce the red intensity and add a little bit of gamma, looks good now.

But is there a way to apply these settings in the Kernel or ROM itself?

I'm aware that CM10 ROM has a builtin screen adjustment tool, I assume it's low level.

Hey guys, here's a much improved alpha 2: Play Store Link

I am currently on a trip so will reply to comments and update main post when I get a chance :)

Small easter egg in this version: long click drawer to change to a 2nd home screen for your enjoyment. More coming soon!

EDIT: updated first post and switched to Play store link
[Android Software Development] rob43:
It looks like the play store link hasn't updated yet..if its not active by tonight I'll upload a version elsewhere.

edit: Link has been updated
[Android Software Development] rob43:
Hiding the drawer icon is definitely something I'm considering :) However I have a few ideas to improve it as well, perhaps a sort of "quick launch bar" in a row where the icon is currently located.

Feel free to include this in any ROM :) At this point it will not be open source.

Let me know if this is still happening with Alpha 2. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Scroll effects are definitely coming, however I'm focused on squishing some bugs at the moment :) Thanks for the suggestion!

Folders are coming back, I already have some stuff planned but it's not yet ready. Stay tuned!

Thanks man! Saw your review on Play Store as well, appreciate it :)
[Android Software Development] SystemErrorOne:
No problem buddy! Im trying to find more bugs and ways to make it better...Last night when I downloaded the APK and tried to install it my phone wouldn't let me cuz it said "App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed." The way I tried to install it was using Root Explorer and just over writing the app by installing the new APK but i guess something is going wrong with the signature cuz ive never seen this happen...so I just went to the playstore and uninstalled it from there and re-installed the new copy from there....But i still have one more issue. Whenever you install a new launcher from the play store and immediately after you click the home button the OS prompts you which launcher do you want to use..i have 3 launchers installed (Nova, Chameleon, & Tile) But the OS never prompts me which launcher do I wanna use...

UPDATE: Alright so I got it working now. Android now prompts for the launcher >>> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvZDNKY21yV282TGM

But one more bug I found is that whenver you go to the widgets in the app drawer and you drag for example Airdroid 4x1 Widget Tile Launcher crashes.
[Android Software Development] BigJeff:
This is extremely promising... Keep this up, if you play you're cards right, you may just have the most "innovative" launcher out there :)
[Android Software Development] rob43:
Hmm ok. Are you on ICS? Dropping widgets is still being worked on, added it to the known issues list now.

As for prompting for the launcher, it should prompt you every time you install a new launcher, strange if it didn't. It's possible to go to Apps -> Your current home launcher -> Clear defaults to make it prompt if that happens again.

I'll be returning home this weekend, hope to get a new build out soon :) Cheers
[Android Software Development] SystemErrorOne:
Well im on PA 4.1.2 Based Rom.. (2.54) & Thanks thats good too know ill do that next time it doesnt prompt me.

[Android Software Development] S1cK94:
i love this launcher!!

here some ideas:

- make it more flexible (the user no more needs to sets numbers of colums and rows)

then:

- option to choose min tile size (width and height)

- option to choose from horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in home

- option to choose paginated scrolling (regardless scrolling orientation) in home

- drawer categories

- option to enable google search bar near the app drawer button

- option to replace the launcher menu in app drawer with google play shortcut (or another app)

- fix custom color (can't set a custom hex color on nexus s cm10)

add these features even in a paid version and i'll buy it

keep it on!!
[Android Software Development] jeanne8fr:
Hi all,

Just bought this launcher. I like it but I have a small problem. It closes every time I open google voice. Any one have that?

Bug with spaces between the Tiles?

Hi Rob

since the last update i add 2 new Tiles to my Homescreen and it is impossible to add them like the others... without any space between.

i made different tiles with 120x120 Pixels and 115x115 Pixels... but no chance to get that tiles like the other.

here is a screenshot to show you my problem. i mark the 2 tiles with a red circle!

thanks for that AWESOME Launcher. I love it and bought it because of the FullScreen Feature since last update.
[Android Software Development] wakkakai:
Have you tried using them as the background image of the tile instead of the icon?

Also the launcher crashes any time I try and add a photo widget. I had the stock photo widget on there at one point.. but now I cant even get that anymore. The one I was aiming for was this one.
[Android Software Development] wakkakai:
Changed to the PAC- man ROM and have no issues with photo widgets.

Updated to the latest pro version. Finding some settings are not working. I can't disable over fling. The background wallpaper dose not scroll.

Would like to see horizontal mode be able to cram 4 columns and 6-8 rows on a single screen before scrolling.

Still holding out hope that this launcher will some day auto add rows and columns and do away with "home screens"

Still my favorite launcher. Keep it up!

That logo is awesome! Definitely going to use it thank you :D Graphics isn't my strong suit, you might have been able to tell that from the launcher icon :P (it's just the default icon with the tablet drawer overlapping it.. and fantastic use of the fill tool for different colors)

I should have a release out within the next week, hoping to figure out all of the known issues by then. Finally going to be home tomorrow, so should finally have a little more time :)

Cheers
[Android Software Development] rob43:
Thanks for the support :)

Options for either horizontal/vertical scrolling is definitely going to be included at some point, it's something that's been discussed. Not sure what kind of customization the drawer would have, as after you setup your tile screen(s), you aren't in there too often except to drag out new tiles. Not being able to set a custom color, hmm first time I've heard of that. I'll look into it. If you can give me steps to reproduce this, it would be very helpful.

Cheers
[Android Software Development] dinesh690:
Rob this is a very promising launcher. Offers something unique. While there are other WP8 launcher clones, they are just that. Just a gimmick that you can't continue to use but this feels like it could last. Keep up the good work, lacking features right now but that is obviously expected at this stage of its life cycle.

Anyway, you can enable horizontal/vertical scrolling in the settings menu of the launcher under advanced settings mate

ok, it happens even on a galaxy nexus gsm cm10.1.

long press on a tile > tap on settings > tap on color box > tap on custom tab > type hex color > close the IME > tap on save and color isn't updated.

it happens for both font color and background color and only if I type the hex color (if I choose presets color or one from the color picker it works)
[Android Software Development] FormelLMS:
Yesterday evening I've seen this thread here and... thanks to the op... I couldn't sleep anymore.

I must set up my tile launcher.

For the last 13 Months I've been using nova and before that, I was an ADW User.

But now I've got a bit bored from Androids pickle tickle boring Icon like iPhone, so I was looking for a completely changing and challenging launcher.

So I've found Tile Launcher and I must say, I really like it.

I think I will try it out a few hours or days and can say more about this.

But, I have a suggestion, too :)

- Gestures are really appreciated :) Like swiping up or down, lock the screen etc.

- some launchers can be used with roms, where we can change the navbar transparency. Can you enable this on tile launcher, too?

- Please make a backup / restore button in the settings. I've been changing roms back and forth and it's a pain in the ass to restore this launcher manually :)

- can we lock the screen, so it doesn't accidentally reaarange all tiles on the screen? Today I've got a little frustrated scene in my car, after accidentally longpressing and swiping one of my tiles :)

- I cannot remove, rearrange or customize a widget from my peoples app. All I get is a force close of tile launcher

Please keep up the good work! I really like it and wanna use it as my default launcher

Thank you!
[Android Software Development] rob43:
Thank you sir. Fixed in the next version.
[Android Software Development] rob43:
Thanks for the kind words :)

- Gestures will be coming

- If your ROM supports navbar transparency, it should apply to tile launcher as well

- Backup/restore tiles & options will be coming

- Locking your layout is coming

- Widgets are still buggy, especially on ICS

At this point, I just want to fix all the bugs before I start adding more new stuff :) Just returned from vacation, hopefully I will have a new build out in a week or two.

Cheers!
[Android Software Development] FormelLMS:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

But it really doesn't apply transparency to the navbar below.

You can see it on the attached Screenshot.

EDIT: Damn, I'm Dumb :) I'm totally new to this paranoid transparency things. It works great with your launcher.

This happens on my Nexus 4 and the tile is away after every reboot. ;(
