[Nexus 7 Original Development] Culex316:
I like plasma active too but regular Ubuntu is not meant to be used as a touch OS but rather hooked up with a keyboard and mouse and voila, a mini-netbook.

Edit: Plasma Active is running great! I really love being able to use other distributions on this tablet! :D :D :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tincanman:
After about a day of plasma active, I think there are some things that are still missing.

I am going to go back to ubuntu and try to install gnome shell. I think the main reason Ubuntu was lagging was Unity being very resource intensive.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Culex316:
That's very true. The only bad thing about installing another desktop is that auto rotation does not work so it stays in either landscape or portrait when you log in. Otherwise it runs much better
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stadicon:
If you are quitting Unity because of resource intensity, i don't think gnome shell is going to make any difference. If possible, i think gnome shell might be even worse than Unity, resource-wise. So i would suggest looking for a more lightweight DE, like xfce.

How do i flash the tar.gz file?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dodgepot:
Hey everyone. When attempting to flash bohdi Linux it fails with status error 7. Does anyone have any insight on what this is?

The install type in choosing is android/Ubuntu touch because the zip file isn't found under Ubuntu desktop option.

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stadicon:
Do not flash those zips under the MultiROM menu, those ZIPs are designed to work with a normal recovery so just install as you would do about any normal ROM (not under MultiROM).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dodgepot:
Ah okay. Well that makes sense. That won't replace anything, right?

Edit: never mind... I just went ahead and did it anyways :) Why not, ey? Don't learn if you don't try.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] #sadegh#:
nice...

I tried ubuntu desktop version and it's too laggy and slow !! so i left it and installed bodhi linux...

it's smooth and fast but limited and has not many facilities...

how about plasma ??

which one is the best that i can use fire fox in it and be smooth ??

thank you...

I've repacked webOS and PlasmaActive to new MultiROM installer format. These ROMs can now be installed to USB drive.

Go to Advanced->MultiROM->Add ROM and choose MultiROM installer type!

You need recovery from at least April 4th.

[HTC EVO 3D] peter9991:
Hey,

i unlocked my Evo 3D's Bootloader with the HTC Method. Now my Audio Jack seems to have some contacts misaligned, leading to sound not always coming out on the left ear. If i am to send in my phone to HTC, will they repair it or do nothing because i unlocked the bootloader?

It is surely a Hardware defect, meaning that my bootloader has nothing to do with it. Any Experiences?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Technically your warranty is void if the bootloader is unlocked. I would definitely re-lock it before sending it in.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Since you are running GANGNAM CM10 I'm guessing you are S-OFF. If so, I would recommend returning the phone to 100% stock it you are sending it to HTC, just to be safe.

Instructions to do that can be found in this post.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightmaker22:
Hello,

I planned to buy the S3 in thailand when I go abroad in a week, after scouting a little on the forum I noticed the SDS brick and the uncertainty of it all and i'm wondering whether I should still go for it or choose another device, and if so what is the other recommended device I can go for (n4 out of stock).

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATMinotaur:
I'm thinking the same thing, asked a similar question in questions forum, those that replied said go for it. I'm still not 100% sure yet, and hoping to see some more replies here.

There is yet to be a better device than the galaxy s 3. If you want to go for a bargain you might consider the nexus 4 but it has a mediocre camera and is far from being the full package. The note 2 would be another competitor if the size fits you but other then that you want get a device that is the overall awesome package that the galaxy s 3 is. Go for it.

The only thing better than a galaxy s3 is the upcoming galaxy s4 which is yet to be announced

Anyway, with a S3 you can't go wrong.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CHEVYbarracuda1:
I wud recommend u to wait till summer.. Atleast u will get newest piece if u can wait.. But if u buy s3 ur choice will be good.. Device is one of the high ends on the market right now
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATMinotaur:
Only problem with waiting for the latest phone is you can potentially be always be waiting, as there will always be a new latest greatest phone just round the corner. I got into that trap with the last phone I got a few years a go. And trying to avoid it this time round. But I do get what your saying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amritttt:
No don't because with in a month or two it will be outdated and you will find all new phones with 5 inch screen gorilla glass 3 and better processor etc and more advanced stuff so i recommend you to wait either for s4 lol till may or Sony xperia z(beautiful) or htc m7 mosy probably you'll see that in mobile world confrence and Motorola x if i am you i would wait and go for a newer phone as it is i buy one phone a year.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadSOL:
Outdated?!!! With its quad-core processor? Are you bonkers or high? :silly:

Well, we'll definitely see a lot of new stuff at the MWC. Nothing ground-breaking, I suppose. Everyone has already made their CES announcements and they've left nothing to speculate about (except the possible new Motorola phone).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightmaker22:
There isn't a doubt to whether the s3 is still good, I want to buy it, but there has been reports from people in this forum it suffers from hardware problems and can die at any moment, and in that case I'll have no warranty from thailand, does anyone have something to add on the topic ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Get a Nexus 4.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kobrax:
The S3 for sure. It's ground breaking and even the nexus 4 can't compete.

S3 has plenty of innovative features not to mention things like s beam. Also expandable memory.

When you get you s3 you will just be upgraded to a new version that includes the fixes. Then if you want to root just Flash an old ics bootloader and your good to go

I just bought another s3 so I now have 2. Was going to get the nexus 4 but there's no point. Sold my old s3 to a mate
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemo23:
I am thinking of buying the Xperia Z the adverts are calling my name so bad.. But am not sure. I mean i love my galaxy s3 it is the fastest phone i owned till now. Plus from day one i had no problem. But i really want a premium feeling phone.. The nexsus 4 is a good phone but sux to be honest. The nexsus brand is very limited in terms of storage and i don't care about cloud space.. I am not going to use my cloud space when i am outside am i when i only have 1gb data a month....

So if you want speed and reliability then go for the S3 sure you've heard of sds and blah blah blah.. I had the phone since it came out in the uk not SDS no nothing. But if you want something else it is upto you really..

I on the other hand am really tempted for a Xperia Z....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hangman_tr:
I bought My s3 one Week ago. And frustrated. Phone is using lots of ram by its System programs. I don't want root it. But how will I stop that System programs. When I stop by task managers it is starting soon again. IT is NOT resolving My Problem. Any Idea?

You won't stop them without rooting, thats the only way to freeze or delete system apps. And android manages its ram well you dont need to worry about the numbers you see unless you're lagging. The OS will kick stuff out as it needs more ram for newer processes

[LG Optimus 4X HD] fmgeraldine:
Is there any way to complete remove LG UI 3.0 and run pure Android UI ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
In theory, yes. In practice, not a hope in hell :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fmgeraldine:
LG UI is too heavy , too full of useless features, i want Google UI , hehehe.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
So .. put a different launcher on there, read the threads on battery optimization and remove the stuff that you don't want or need.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fmgeraldine:
All things already done, try some launchers , battery life is good now, but , Google interface , still #1 for me . My friend buy an Razor i without MOTOBLUR and all of motorola things, the result : a ****ing awesome smooth phone. I dont know if its an interface gain or Jelly Bean gain, but is lighter, smoother and faster than all ive ever seen before.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
Just wait for the JB update. Currently there is no way to completely remove the LG UI. If the unlocked bootloader comes with the update, there should be some AOSP roms shortly afterwards. Jelly Bean surely makes things a lot smoother due to the Butter improvements. But compared with other ICS phones our 4X is already quite smooth, and the LG UI seems to be a lot lighter than other manufacturer's modifications like TouchWiz or Sense.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fmgeraldine:
Believe me ... Intel + motorola do an awesome work on their ROM , its lighter than iphone OS , serious ... JB AOSP is the lightest system ive ever see, im waiting JB like an child waits santa. Our 4x is much more powerful than Intel Atom on Razor i , our limitations are based on OS and UI 3.0 IMHO.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
Motorola doesn't have AOSP as standard. If you look at their Motoblur it's also no "light" system. And I doubt that Intel is doing anything software-wise. But Motorola is going back towards a more AOSP-like system, and so has LG done. Compare it with the 2X (I've never had one, but you can read enough on it). I think it would be best if one could choose: Either manufacturer's UI with their improvements (e.g. LG's energy management or the "airplane-mode-off-without-PIN" feature) or AOSP. But that would be two systems to manage for the companys, so we won't get that. As said, when the unlocked bootloader comes, there will be custom roms for sure and then you can exchange the LG UI.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fmgeraldine:
Sorry for that, when i said AOSP , i meant they coming with Google's native launcher.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
sorry are you kidding me apart from nexus phones the LG optimus 3.0 skin is the lightest skin outthere by MILES sony samsung and definitely HTC have much heavyer skinns on ther phones.

the only phones with lighter skins are phones with stock android and those can be counted on 1 hand.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dante501:
The 4x is a pretty fast phone. I actually run mine on 640 MHz and it is still fast. U can't really notice anything lagging. Well if u play games but then I just turn it up to 1500mhz
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
even on 1000 mhz it is fast enough to play shadowgun from tegrazone which only shows that current quad cores are more then fast enough for any app out there.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dante501:
Exactly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fmgeraldine:
guys , i just dont want the LG UI 3.0 , i prefer Google UI , so do i asked here ...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dante501:
For the pure Google ui u either have to have a costume Rom or buy a nexus phone or tablet. That's just how it is.

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Ur question was answered. U can't remove the lg ui as if yet.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] shazmekool:
I have removed current LG home screen app and using apex launcher..not because it ws not smooth because i needed more functions and i also got more free memory :)

Check below:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Wind your neck in, or reconsider how you write things please. :banghead:

I never said ANYTHING about the UI, I actually quite like it (other than than fact that you can't customise it enough). I simply offered the OP a suggestion to change the original UI that she doesn't like and to make the phone faster by removing apps.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] OS_Hacking:
To remove LG lock screen :-

1-Go to (/system/build.prop) and open it as a text file .

2-Go to line .

ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true

And change it to :-

Hello guys, I came across to this YouTube video

there's a thread here on XDA regarding the resources

if there's no port, is it possible to port? especially on Stock rooted roms?

[Galaxy S III General] CromeX:
Hi Guys,

I just updated my phone with the multiwindow updates and I can't believe how often I have been using it.

I am looking for a notepad type of app that supports multi windows. When one searches for it I generally get, mods or something else that generates multi windows.

Is there a wiki? Would it be a good idea to start a wiki with a list of supported app for multi window?

thoughts please?
[Galaxy S III General] coolnand:
There are not many apps which supports multi window function for non rooted device. For rooted, its a whole different story. U can use any apps for this. Like for example I sometimes use whatsaap and xda app along or whatsaap and browser along . Etc etc . U have a mod for it. Search for multi window control. It might be there in themes and app. :):thumbup: with that u can add whichever app u want to the mutiwindow feature.

Do I keep my tf700t since this is my second and has those flickering black lines for a few seconds. Or try another one? Not sure if this is software or hardware issue. I'm getting mixed answers. I don't want to give it up for one with more problems. This thing runs flawless otherwise.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
Placed an item in the original topic already, decided to make a seperate one for more attention:

I'm running FXP151 on my Xperia S, with a NovaKernel flashed on top of it. Now I want to update FXP to 201, but the last times I tried flashing a newer version straight on top of the current setup, it will always halt with an error. Which in turn makes the phone unusable until I flash the original boot.img, wipe all data and restore a backup.

What should I do in order to update FXP properly? I've got the feeling that the NovaKernel shouldn't be there when I do, but I'll leave it to the experts. ;)

Thanks in advance!

----

What I do to prevent this from happening again, is flash the FreeXperia Recovery by Bin4ry via fastboot before I update. That recovery seems to work out of the box. After doing the update, I flash Nova back and it boots without issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] danlivesey:
I don't know about any one else but I always had problems flashing zips from nova kernel so just extract fxp kernel from the Rom and install with fxp kernel, then just flash the Rom with out any wipes
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Try flashing the update, boot it, wait a bit, then reboot and install the kernel. Wipe dalvik.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
Tried flashing 202 over 201 today. Immediately got a "some symlinks failed"-notice and was forced to do a restore onceagain. Without any changed kernels. Gives me an 'error while formatting cache' when restoring, seen that before. It is starting to get on my nerves.

I'm keeping up Titanium backups from now on...

Update: did a dalvik wipe, fixed permissions, tried rebooting and erasing cache multiple times (to no avail), but it managed to boot to the launcher somehow. Can't see why, because the cache is crappy.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1eyedmonster:
I currently have a x10i and have had it for years now its been flashed and rooted but sometimes the phone freezes during some games ie pool break pro which is a pain also the rom development has slowed down considerable so

I have been offered a swap for a x10 mini pro but would like some advice whether its worth it and how far the device is with development I'm looking to stay on cm based roms and any downfalls of the device?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
The x10i is the 'big' experia X10. It has seen more development than it's smaller cousins (x10 mini and x10 mini pro), but i'm guessing any CM-based roms are roughly on par with what you have now. The hardware (processor, memory etc.) are roughly the same so you shouldn't expect miracles.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1eyedmonster:
i know its pretty similar but the x10i ics roms has no video camera and has been the issue for nearly 6 months and that is why im kinda leaning away from the x10i are you able to tell me if the mini pro ics roms are the same and how does ics/jb roms run on mini pro
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
They're ok-ish, especially MiniCM10 (JB) by nobodyAtall (nAa) is pretty impressive, and he sort of managed to fix the camera and video. Not perfect, but usable at least. But if you have problems with laggy games, then ICS or JB wouldn't be the right choice anyway, because they're very memory-hungry. In that case you should stick to a GB rom, which has a lower memory footprint and uses up less cpu. GingerDX v 029 looks very ICS/JB like but is based on CM7-GB, and is very fast.

And besides that, the hardware keyboard will not work 'out of the box' on ICS or JB, there is a workaround, but you'll have to fix that yourself. There are instructions in the dev-threads on how to do that.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1eyedmonster:
thank you for your reply does the mini pro use the flastool by bin4ry and androxyde the x10i uses to flash kernals and one more thing im currently on miui gb on my x10i and would like to stay on miui mainly due to the ease of customisation is there a fully working miui version available and if so what kernal and rom and any add ons would i need for everything to work
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Flashtool: Yes :)

Miui: GB-version by Rempty seems to have reached 'just-about-perfect' status, you'll need nAa-13 or nAa-14 kernel for that. Dev-thread is here

There are (I believe) two ICS-versions too, but i think they still lack the camera-fixes and haven't been updated in a while.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 1eyedmonster:
Is it the Naa... for ics

Once again thanx for the advice
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
No, for GB ofcourse :)

Is is it possible to build the cifs.ko myself? What do i need therefore
[HTC One X+] maxwen:
well you must understand that you cannot simply get a kernel

module from somewhere and use it with a different kernel

kernel modules are part of the kernel and must be compiled

"together" with the kernel. There is key matching used

when loading kernel modules which will refuse loading

if the kernel modules has not been compiled for the

kernel you are running

so simple answer to your question - you must compile

flash and boot the complete kernel you are running :)

Or you find someone that can can compile EXACTLY the

kernel "version" that you are running and will give you the

kernel module

But before we all need to know which version you are running

(found in About Phone -> kernel version)

Oh BTW even if you have the correct kernel module

it must be loaded with insmod. Just copying it to the device

is not enough
