Simple to say

TouchWiz UI and pure Android UI.

Haha nice. All my words in a single sentence :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
Here is some personal feeling about them.

As you can see from my signature that I had Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus before, and after I lost my GNex, I tried to buy a Nexus 4, but it kinda like mission impossible as it's serious outta supply, so I was forced to make compromise and go with Galaxy S III, which is very nice phone through some thing I don't like such as hardware button and soft key (because GNex uses virtual button on screen which is completely customizable ).

I have been using AOSP ROM for over a year (well, it's outta options actually as they are Google's sons but Samsung didn't make a ROM for them even they are manufactured by Samsung , and 3 month with Sammy ROM.

Even I got my S3, the first thing I have done is flash AOSP ROM and get my feeling about GNex back, but unfortunately due to some reasons, I couldn't make it become GNex-like and realize it is something fool, so I tried Sammy stock ROM.

My first feeling about it is a little prettier than AOSP ( through there's countless themes for AOSP, I am just talking about default theme ) and some Sammy features are very interesting and attractive. (IMHO, I'd say it is more user-friendly to users ) which is why I decided to stay with it , but after all these times, I didn't actually use these features much except multi windows and slide to dial...

OK, sorry for my non sense words and my bad English just can exactly express what I trying to say...

A quick follow up question

Just a quick follow up question regarding HW support:

Whats the status for AOSP roms regarding MHL, does it work?

I recently saw a video where a guy paired his phone with a PS3 controller and played games on his HD TV. Would this possible on non-Sammy roms?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Can't help you much on that. Never tried mhl on my s3, aosp or otherwise. You're better off asking/searching in cm thread. If it works on cm, it'd probably work on other aosp roms too.

HI,

First I got Windows 8 Pro x64 on my desktop.

As in many other cases when I connected to VPN server my local connection showed "limited" status (connection to router is via lan cable)

This meant that some of the Modern UI apps did not work (reported no active connections) but some did.

Luckily most of the ones I wanted to use (Netflix) had no problem.

Other ones (Hulu) i could "cheat" by using browser instead of app.

Good thing that browsers in Desktop Mode worked just fine - no issues whatsoever.

Yesterday I bought Asus TF810c (tablet/hybrid) with Windows 8 32bit on board.

VPN connection has been setup the same way as on desktop (or Windows 7 previously).

Problem is that

ALL apps in both modes do not work

:(

All apps in Modern UI as well as (and this is much worse!!!) browsers in desktop mode.

I really do not know what to do :(. This also means that I have lost a lot of usability for this device and system - it was supposed to replace my old iPad.

No it can not :( any ideas what I can do about it?

I was hoping by now MS will fix this problem as it is reported by (all???) a lot of people that use VPN in Windows 8.

Please, have some good news! I need at least browsers to work...

Anyone has any contact with MS engineers and can ask them about it?
[Xperia Z General] JamDonot:
Just pre ordered my black xperia z from 3UK, £69 up front then £36 a month for two years. I was also early, enough to bag the Sony earphones the mdr1 I think they're called.

Even better, this phone supports the frequency band 3UK will be using for LTE, and they announced yesterday that all you can eat data will be included at this price. Can't really get much better, truly unlimited data at LTR speeds, and an awesome phone.

Roll on the 28th February.

Amazon Germany pre Order since 28.01.2013 :)
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I was lucky enough to get the cans as well :)

Not to sound ungrateful but I wised it was the NFC BT variant :)

Any way I think the good news (apart from getting a free pair of cans) is that it is a iPhone compatible set, since Sony is pairing it up with the xperia that should mean that the xperia is compatible with all iPhone headsets :), On the down site this will mean that my LiveSound headphones properly will not work with the Z. Maybe I should sell the MDR-1 and get me some decent in ears.
[Xperia Z General] JamDonot:
Thought about selling them as well. Would prefer a small blue tooth ear phones I could use for training, any ideas?
[Xperia Z General] Rocco3:
would never pre-order. pretty nonsense to me as the price will fall dramatically when other 5" phones are out...anyway a great phone.
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
yeah I tried to hold off as long as I could, but I can't stand the slowness of the xperia s any more :)

At any rate I didn't pay a lot extra with a 2 year contract and the headphones more than make up the differences

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

No sorry never used bluetooth headphones, I really liked the LiveSound headphones, pretty good sound and now they are only 15 pounds, but I'm unsure if they work with the Z

[Motorola Droid RAZR] xtam:
I heard few opinions, so i would like to ask here.

This question does not include physical damage or damage caused by flashing something with low battery or unlocking bootloader.

If i have rooted Razr, with LOCKED bootloader..is it possible to brick it in this way that even rsd wont help ?

I need to know it to know what NOT to do..and be more safe.

I heard that having root allows to remove bootloader files, even if it is locked, and by such procedure phone will be completely bricked and without specialized service it can be only use as garbage, or paper weight..

Is it true ?

If not - how would it be possible to fix such phone ?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
you are perfectly safe. our bootloader is and will be locked, although the phone is rooted.

So, you should carefully read the OP of what you want to do and proceed.

Also RSD is working good. But before you used it, make a format of your internal memory, factory reset and then flash with RSD

Good luck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] osval.:
Almost all the stuff mentioned here in android development It's safe to a certain point If you follow the steps as is, and even then mistakes leads just to soft-brick.

Now, where you REALLY have to be aware is about using FASTBOOT commands other than "flash", maybe they are common use on other androids but on razr just "flash" command is used, but they aren't even mentioned in this forum so no worries, it was seen here not so much ago somebody who used fastboot erase command "to do a clean install" :eek: (flash command already do a clean install always so it was pointless), he ended with a "rocksolid" bricked phone that didn't powered up anymore in any state when connected to pc was recognized for 2-3 seconds as TI OMAP 4430 device and then nothing, nor adb, nor rsd, nothing. :(

Long story short, Is the RAZR with locked bootloader hard-brickable? YES. Which are the possibilities that It happens to your RAZR? NONE, as long as you follow steps and know what you do. You should always be careful but as somebody said "The RAZR it's so locked down that we got really lucky it could be rooted".

Hi all,

I've recently tried out Action Launcher Pro, and it has a very neat feature called "covers".

Covers are folders that can act like a single app too.

what I mean is, they appear as the app icon (the little white square on the bottom right indicates it's a cover), and if you click it then it opens up the app, but if you swipe it vertically, it opens up a folder containing more apps.

it's like this:

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am trying to help someone root their Kindle Fire.

I have already done my own and it worked 100% first time without issues!

They have downloaded the KFU etc and tried to run the install drivers and then the run.bat which starts up the KFU, but after trying to root it the following comes up :

Might it be worthwhile following the ADB advice from here? Is that the issue? And then try again? :

Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Could be a few things Generally speaking most issues are driver related make sure it appears under android phone as "Android composite adb interface" if not reinstall the driver. The use of a 3.0 usb port can prevent fastboot and render the device unseen by the computer and stuck in fastboot with no recourse to correct the situation other than creating a live sub with soupkit and or using another pc. Lastly there are cables that do not do fastboot or adb but will charge and transfer data. So check the driver, try another sub port, try another cable, try another pc. Good rule of thumb anyway. Make sure the kindle is first gen. a well.

So trying to figure out the ADB driver issue.

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Look in device manager bud. Right click on computer and select manage then select device manager look for Android phone and expand that then check how the driver is stated.

Hey! I just replaced a broken screen and it went quite well, aside from the fact that my mic is not really working as it should anymore (it sounds like I am really far away whenever I speak).

I had the same thing as adam in the end. its the little orange silicon bit that shields the microphone. it fits into the fornt cover near the microphone hole. I accidentally threw it away with the old cover and then had the problem. I had to buy a complete new casing in the edn but it is working fine now.

Found this in another thread, but... Hmmm, I know of the three orange parts and I have taken good care of them. None of those are clowe to the mic though, or perhaps I am mixing up the mic with somethng else? Oh well, there was somethng else about a rubber part behind the display, perhaps I'll just stick my rubber thingie in there. Yup.

Or in other words, is the lens cover scratch resistant? I ask this because I had the unfortunate case of finding out the hard way - within just a couple of weeks of getting my S2 that the cover wasn't Gorilla Glass.

So if the N4's lens cover isn't Gorilla, then could someone recommend a scratch guard please? Or maybe a scratch guard for the entire back which also protects the camera lens?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbster:
This is just speculation because I doubt you could ever get the official answer, but I doubt it is gorilla glass. It is definitely not part of the back glass but an inset piece. Gorilla glass is usually used more for the strength rather than it's moderate scratch resistance so I doubt that they went to the trouble. It is also slightly lower than the surrounding surface which would naturally help prevent scratching. I don't know of any commercially available back protectors that would cover the lens, but if you are that concerned about it just get one of the generic screen protectors from walmart and a pair of scissors and make your own.

Sorry for digging up an older post but lets say hypothetically you broke your camera lens for the Nexus 4 (but everything else is ok) camera, back etc... any way i can find a new one? I've been looking and haven't been successful yet...

This is the only post I've seen that even talks about the fact that it appears to be a separate piece... it's not part of your back glass and it's "recessed" inside - nestled between the back and the camera itself... a little square piece...

Haven't found anyone selling just the lens cover, but you could buy the whole camera module for ~ $10. If you're looking for just the piece of glass between the camera and the back, then you'd have to buy the whole glass back unfortunately.. might be cheaper to just cut a bit of a clear screen protector and use it.

I just added only some lines for OMAP4470 device ID like:

This driver can be installed on Windows x86 and x64 as well. I hope it will help somebody to make an unbricker for my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (now it can be detected only like an OMAP4470 device).

I wonder if there a chance of a windows based firekit for second gen devices. Although sadly windows is very crappy with these sort of applications, drivers and such.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Woonder.ua:
I don't think so, because I know a lot of android devices on another processors, which supports flashing through download mode in Windows, even Samsung Galaxy Nexus (edition with OMAP processor). For example, my primary smartphone is JIAYU G2 based on MTK6577, and it can be flashed through download mode with battery removed - MediaTek distributes firmware tool for vendors only, but it was spread to destination users extremely fast because vendors don't want to make their own flash tools for fastboot/adb mode. So, I think it is possible indeed, but we need a right tool for flashing. And I know that Texas Instruments has such tool, but it is distributed only for device manufacturer.
