[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bearsblack:
Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot :(

But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubomime:
I have to ask, why would you need to click on a clock to take you to another clock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimcr7:
LOL Maybe he means alarm settings which is inside clock app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bearsblack:
Yea I meant alarms.. Lol. Or even clock app would be smart

Why on EARTH would u want camera lag when changing the phone orientation... Then u end up missing Ur shot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimcr7:
Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.

I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bearsblack:
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bearsblack:
IMO the black background is nice to quickly identify icons. U know u can always use third party launchers to change that..

I feel like the settings never stick. I will set them both for 51MHz minimum but then after saving I will go back and they will either say 102 or 340MHz.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
Is there a place that lists most/all/many of the popular ROMs and their haves/not haves?

I had VaelPak on my old Evo 4g and it had a really neat feature that I could remove all the sliders from the lock screen and use gestures that I create to unlock it. I could also set applications to open with certian gestures. Would love that if any ROMs have it. I heard a while back that one of the CMs did, but not sure if CM9 or 10 have it.

I am looking for a very customizable ROM that can do call recording, I also really like the Samsung keyboard. And I want a ROM that all components (wifi/4g/camera/NFC) still work. also need wifi teather, but I think most ROMs have that.

I did look in the development forum, but many don't list the features and "broken" parts.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Just stick with touchwiz ROMs . and there isn't such a thing as the best ROM. Every ROM is great in its own way and all depends on the user. Touchwiz can do all that you are asking . unsure about call recording. There might be an app for that on the market.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

And when you say that threads don't say what their features are. You must not read a lot. Every single ROM I see has a list of features and bugs section.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Whats wrong with something aosp based? Cm10 reached its stable release and runs flawless. even the nightlys of 10.1 are stable as hell for being brand new and expected to have bugs. Touchwiz sucks and lags like hell. Nicks that shiit, you wont regret it. And if youre looking to customize a lot try aokp. Youll spend days customizing it.

LOL Now now. I didn't mean to start anything. I know there will be several opinions and I expect to flash at least 3 or 4 ROMs just trying to not flash 20 ROMs. Takes too long to configure each one.

One question about AOKP. is that a "type" of ROM or is that "A" ROM? Also I find a lot of different things about CM10, but I am still not sure where to get the stable release. I am not interested in nightlies or test versions. And I have flashed my share of ROMs but what are gaps? That is a new one.

Thanks for all your help!

kinda of a new at this. basically my tablet boots with asus logo and top left says "the device is UnLocked"

tried to flash cyanogen mod and put some wrong files.

i know its bricked but cant do much. Vol- + Pwr doesnt get me anywher

Vol+ + Pwr makes some recognition on my computer but cant do much. like fastboot wont recognize as a device.

pls help\

UPDATE: Got it to go in APX mode. and got drivers installed. dont know whats next...

thanks in advance
[Transformer TF300T General] Enanlingwolf:
Few questions first... (I am an Android n00b, but have had issues and flashed custom ROMs about 9 times now.)

Did you make sure to see if the device was properly detected in your OS of choice beforehand? Installed all the software to do so?

Did you install either CWM or TWRP to the device?

Make a recovery in case of issue?

I followed the topic (in this very forum) about flashing. I had some issues being new and all, but got it right... BEFORE I did an actual flash.

[GUIDE] TF300T Unlock/Root/Flash for Factory JB Devices (newbie friendly)

I am using the latest TWRP instead of the guides CWM advice. Due to CWM failing to create a backup for me. I felt not having a backup plan, was something similar to going to a redlight district without a rubber. Which means... What if something goes wrong, how will I fix it?

Does the device detect? Can you move files to the device from your computer?
[Transformer TF300T General] Xynergy:
Hey there, just curious as to how you managed to 'put some wrong files', what exactly did you do to achieve this?

If you can still get into recovery and you have fastboot hooked up, you can proceed to either:

re-flash the correct CWM version if your recovery is broken, or

upload the CyanogenMod package you want to install to your device and simply wipe & flash!

I don't recommend installing last week's nightlies, rotation is still broken. Not sure as to what version last worked.

Good luck!
[Transformer TF300T General] techknewz1:
So here is what happened. Basically i tried flashing files and put it for the wrong tablet. Now i can only get into apx mode and fastboot doesnt recognize it and neither does adb recognize it.

OK...after flashing...I get a black screen phone won't boot... kernel issue...so what I did was to reboot into recovery, flash kernel cleaner, then flash siyah 4.33...that worked...

So the kernel included with this ROM needs to be fixed. Other than that so far its nice ROM..

Getting the status 7 abort because its checking ro.product.device and ro.build.product, basically stating this isnt for your average rooted i777?

just fyi of course to yall. Factory Reset/clear data, cleared cache, cleared dalvik.

I was coming from Shostock 3 1.8.5.
