I followed the directions in the last post of that thread.. I made a backup of the new phone, moved the old nandroid from old phone to the twrp back up folder in my new phone. I copied the new backup name and deleted the new backup. i pasted the name into the old back up, I tried to restore and i get an error "no partitions selected for restore. Is it because Im using twrp and I made the old backup with CWM?

Someone help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
That could be it. They back up with different formats. Cwm uses the blob folder twrp does not.

Okay, I'm gonna be short and to the point. On cm10, cm10.1 and PAC man ROM: I am having a common problem. So I'm assuming its any aosp ROM. Whenever I try to add a station in Pandora radio, it let's me click on the search bar, but it un-highlights itself milliseconds after. Anyone know how to fix that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] playbedar:
I had the exact same problem and it was driving me nuts.

I tried Pandora One 4.0 on the same device and everything was working perfectly. So I guess it's an issue with Pandora 1.6. You can google Pandora.apk to get 4.0

I'll send you a PM for the link
[Continuum Themes and Apps] trailblazer101:
Had the idea this morning, and managed to get it looking/working perfectly the same day :P Let me know if you like it, and I'll pass it out...
[Continuum Themes and Apps] roaddog665:
I'm not using twlauncher, so it won't really "fit" with my set up, BUT, that's pretty freaking impressive! Awesome work!
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
its nice!!!!!

love the options as always and how u have ticker mods in tsm.

OT question?

i manage to make stausbar dissappear when editting the wrong things lol, so i was wondering what all would we be able to mod in the soft key area? like could we use that 142x400 line or what not to show statusbar? and use rss button realistate to call on softkeys in ticker for a slightly bigger screen.

just thought of if at 4am while working on zimage repacking all night

Or maybe set search as expand statusbar.

What do you think buddy?
[Continuum Themes and Apps] trailblazer101:
Well, I have been trying to modify the softkey area for a while now.. What I personally wanted to do was allow rotating of the softkey icons :P What I saw when trying to do that though was the kernel and services.jar working together to display the softkeys/set their functions...

To answer your question, kinda, I will throw out my thoughts. 1) Because of the "gray screen overlay" overtop of the softkey area, it'll make the statusbar 'dulled' down, which would probably turn everyone off (including me :P)... 2) If we did manage to move it down there, there would be the ultimate problem of 'expanding' it then, since the softkey/main/ticker screens are all declared as separate screens, and moving in between them in one swoop isn't really possible. 3) The code to display the notification bar is within framework-res, while the code to display the softkeys is within the kernel/services... So being able to swap the functions from the notification down to the softkey area won't be (easily) possible...

But, your last comment might just be do-able... Actually, what would be even more doable would be having a 'button' in the ticker that would 'show/hide' the notification bar... That's because the functions for the softkeys are pre-set at /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl, and I wouldn't know where to start adding a custom one :P...

EDIT: are you looking to hide the notification bar on just the homescreen, or everywhere???

EDIT EDIT: I came up with two adb commands for implementing hiding/showing the statusbar EVERYWHERE... Looking to incorporate it now in java...
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
i kinda figured kernel issues cause of the 3 screen issue.

well ive been messing with repack kernel and got one repacked with su and busy box and actually turn boot ani off, (for quickboot). looking to add init.d as soon as i revert back to stock to test rooted kernel and get statusbar back.

since i havent had a statusbar for a couple days i was enjoying the bigger screen and thinking of a statusbar button (pulldown), or what not

any and evrything (discussion etc) is appreciated. :)
[Continuum Themes and Apps] trailblazer101:
Wait, you successfully compiled a kernel for gingerbread? Or you just modded what we had?!

And I managed to make an app that will turn on/off the statusbar everywhere for our phone, and I managed to take the code and get it work inside the ticker... However, what would you like the 'activation' method be? Getting rid of the 'Ticker History Button' function, and instead setting it as the source for enabling/disabling the statusbar? Or a button somewhere in the ticker, (like where the sleep mode usually is), that does it?

Or has this side-tracked into something you aren't interested in, hahah
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
Nope not compiled, just a repack. when i resumed my vmware the date was november 2nd lol. dont have that much time to get back into trying to compile. wish i did.

thats awesome. definitely replace the rss button. just needs a jelly bean notification img and a triple tap? fuction? ...well i guess accidently pressing the statusbar on/off aint too bad :)
[Continuum Themes and Apps] trailblazer101:
I can add the triple tap function no problem, but you gotta pick out the icon you want, haha.. You can either have just one image, or two, either works for me!
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
Awesome. Had to start from stock again.... it sucks when I had a great hacked kernel, then I didn't back it up before I hackeed another zimage in the same folder to replace it :(

So, I've been searching for info on multi- window for our devices.. Seen its a WIP.. Just wanted to know if there had been any progress made..? I really would to try it out! BTW I appreciate all the work everyone puts into these custom ROMs! I think I'm addicted to flashing... Lol :D:D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
No progress worth noting in the likes of a beta or anything, the note 2 has very different tw framework
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iCUE220:
Right on, but the shostock job ROM for the att s2 sgh i777 has the multi window available and it seems pretty smooth.. I really love the concept and hope that the awesome developers for our device can achieve it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
I was also excited to use multi window, but after using it on my s3, in my opinion it should stay a feature exclusive to 5 inch screens. It is very hard to use on anything smaller. It's cool to play with, but I will never find myself using it when I'm actually trying to get something done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Multi window on a low resolution screen... completely retarded. Flash any skyrocket 4.1.2 ROM and try the pop up video player and you'll see what I mean.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
ahem... i use it, if you pinch the video smaller it isnt that bad, and the quality is amazing. those of us who use smaller dpi dont mind the screen size and prefer it smaller/denser. not to mention as a delivery driver having navigation and calculator open at the same time would be awesome. possibly a pop up video too every now and then.

i would think somebody who didn't want that technology was retarded.

[LG Revolution] rruleford:
How would I go about this? I only ask cuz I've looked everywhere.. It's so frustrating! I buy a 4g phone and all I ever get is 3g and when it is 4g it's still soooooo slow! :(
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
It means you're area has a bad 4G connection due to the tower being too far away hence why you switch to 3G since 4G is too weak for your phone to connect to. Sometimes a phone with better radios helps but usually it's because there's not too many 4G towers close enough.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
As long as you've updated via all OTAs or LGPNST'd to the latestest TOT, you will have the latest radio available.

Edit: I just remembered there's a technique to force update your SIM to get the latest tower data, to that effect.

Power the phone down, remove the battery, remove the SIM card, and wait a couple minutes. Then, reassemble everything back and restart the phone. I haven't performed this but have read about it been in the Revo forum many times for troubleshooting/fixing.

Another possibility is to reflash your current ROM.

Good luck.

I found an amazing application which saves the pain of editing build.prop for editing the heap size.

Check build.prop

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit= ?? this line will be affected by the app to allot heapsize.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Fullm3tal:
The default values are already the best. This tweak concerns only old devices.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Black_opps:
If you want even better performance

go to system> open build.prop in text editor

edit these lines

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=48m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m

to

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=42m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=42m

I read this long back somewhere in mali400 tweaks and it works really great.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Black_opps:
We need to decrease it not increase bro.

change 128m to 42m
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Silver-7:
Well in the app's reviews in Play Store, most users increased it to get a better performance..so i'm not really sure.

Maybe little explanation about how dose it really work will help..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
This setting is simply the maximum amount

of heap space (read: memory) a single

instance of the Dalvik VM (read: application)

can obtain.

Don't read anything into the "benchmarks"

performed. This setting should have little

effect on overall system performance. The

only scenario where it would be beneficial to

increase the maximum heap size would be if

you have an application that is very close to

using up all of its available heap space,

which would force it to run garbage collection

frequently, which would use up CPU cycles. It

is possible that lowering the maximum heap

size could be beneficial in that it might

prevent an application from obtaining more

memory than it needs (by forcing it to

garbage collect sooner), but that all depends

on how the Dalvik VM is implemented and is

really beyond my knowledge.

Edit _- copy pasted :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Dr.Sanket is the closet to the mark ;) Simple story : Too much of a thing is bad ;) 48mb will do for most :P But alot of roms (Mine too) include scripts that reset the Dalvik to 48mb on restart to prevent any issues of it being lost during changes.etc so they render this app useless ;) Just thought Id point it out now :P

Anyway, will be useful for those who dont like to edit build.prop ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Black_opps:
I used 32 at times

Reasons:

1. Smooth

2. Eats up less battery

Yes you read that right

Lower the heap memory less is the battery consumption.

22 was the heap memory for Froyo

48 is default for ICS

So if you want

A nice and fast experience with good battery life

I guess 32 is what you need.

[LG Optimus 3D] BigBadSheep:
Hello everyone

Excuse me for doing another poll, maybe there are too many but I'm considering to abandon Android platform, or at least LG Optimus 3D. The reasons are various, mainly being the fact that I got bored with Android, the last 3D picture I took was a few weeks ago and LG O3D is starting to lag, not to keep up with the novelty.

So I am asking you: What will you buy after ditching LG O3D:

1) Still Android

2) iOS

3) Windows Phone 8

4) I think I'll wait for Ubuntu OS

5) Firefox OS - this will be a hit!

[LG Optimus 3D] sbrownla:
I think we are going to get one. I have been bugging LG about it and they seem receptive to the idea. If there is one thing they are, it is stubborn and that is good for us, and bad.

If they can pull off decent sales with it, not stellar but decent, they will definitely release one. But their problem is that they still aren't listening to customers about updating their recent devices and software...

Why would we buy their brand new phones if they are just going to leave them in the dust.
[LG Optimus 3D] MABManZ:
I'm just a huge fan of stereoscopic 3D, I have to go with what is available. I'm not very concerned with updates as long as the device works as it was intended (which admittedly the O3D has huge issues with the GB build)

I'm willing to sacrifice updates for great 3D functionality, the O3D is near 2 years old now and the hardware is just not enough anymore regardless of updates.
[LG Optimus 3D] Stinger2U:
I think i'll stick with my O3D at least for another year. After that....who knows. A LOT of things change in only one year, especially when it comes to smartphones. I think there is a good chance I'll be switching to windows phone (I'm a little bored of android) but it all depends on what google will bring in android 5.0 (and above). This should be an interesting year.

Anyone know if the true HD IPS+ screen is similar to the AMOLED in that black pixels dont use as much power? For example, would we have the same power saving benefits of black wallpaper and inverted apps as a phone with an AMOLED screen?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] REDFOCZ:
Nope because the LCD tries and replicate black's SDI the screen is still on and using power

Sent From My AT&T LG Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I don't know, are you sure? I would be willing to bet that even though power is used to emit something, it's only a fraction of the power used for bright colors.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shrike:
As far as I'm aware, LCD is still continually and constantly backlit, unless you have one of those dynamic backlighting schemes like on some TVs where there are zones that dime to provide blacker blacks. The backlight is a separate source as LCD cannot emit its own light.

OLED provide the source of the light as well as colour, so when the pixel is black, it is actually off.

So, REDFOCZ's response is correct.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] REDFOCZ:
AMOLED screens don’t require a backlight. The benefit of losing a backlight is apparent: these screens are able to produce blacks so deep that the screen pixels can shut right off. This can save battery life if you use a background that is dark in color or black. LCD screens still require the back light on those using power.
