questions

I understand that XDA is primarily intended as a development site, but I think things often get taken too far. I have been on XDA for about 3 years since before rooting my first Android phone. This, in fact, is about my fourth post. I am still locked out from posting in the Development forums. I do read several almost daily.

I understand the need to keep the volume of BS to a minimum on those forums, but I also feel the the developers do have a need/obligation to help people that are having issues with problems that they do not have the resources to troubleshoot or understand, and to raise the level of knowledge of all forum members. They publish many great ROMS, Kernals, utilities, etc on these forums with the expectation that everyone out there, including me are their Beta testers. They obviously are looking for feedback and results that other people are having to fix bugs, update instruction and documentation, and get ideas for future enhancements.

Most of the Developers are NOT entertaining any discussion of developing on these forums anyway. They obviously are either doing their work or collaborating with others offline of the respective forums.

Aside from blatant trolling, or a complete lack of self-initiative, I believe all questions should be welcomed and answered. Maybe this needs to be in in a sub-forum under the development thread that also helps us find valid information. One Q&A thread to support all of the I747 initiatives becomes a bit too general and overwhelming.

My two cents. Thanks for the space to say it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
I don't have any tolerance..

This is a DO AT YOUR OWN RISK website

A DEVELOPMENT website.

Its OK to be informative when the other person knows exactly what they are doing.

But to walk somebody every step of the way in my point of view its unnecessary. Devs don't have any responsibility over what happens to your phone. Nor do they need to do everything possible to make your phone work. I can cook a ROM and post it in the dev thread and say "absolutely nothing works but phone calls." I have no obligation to fix anything or make anything happen. Its a piece of work I chose to develop and share with other who are experienced and know what they are doing. Most problems, I'd say 90% of them, from a "stable" ROM come from the users end. Its is a persons duty as an individual to know what you got yourself into and to figure out a way to fix it. A lot of people still don't comprehend that.

I also have no tolerance into trying to turn XDA into a "social network" If you keep in touch with other members here outside of XDA then that's cool, but this needs to stay a development site...

I hate seeing the whole "I flashed this now my phone isn't working." My answer is always the same "Good, that way you learn." We all don't use the search bar or bother to use Google. Its a bad habit, specially on this site, but we all do it. But reading an OP should be the least thing anyone should do.. Most questions that are being asked are answered in the OP. And if you don't have the time to read a couple pages into a ROM thread, you shouldn't be flashing or messing with anything at all.

Once again I'll say, this is a do at your own risk. Its exactly why you get disclaimers in the OP of a rom.No one is going to hold your hand when you brick your phone.

Read read read and if you question yourself about modifying your phone, don't do it lol phones come with an already stable firmware on them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
The devs on here DO NOT have an obligation to anyone. Many build a rom for their own use and choose to share it. Others are out to achieve the perfect rom for their own use. For this reason some entertain problems while others will not. They do not have to help you if they choose not to. Many times, the question or problem presented has been asked and answered more than once, but rather than take the time to do a search and read a little, people want to have the answer handed to them. Welcome to a place where each individual is responsible for their own actions!

For the reason of questions, that is why XDA created Q&A. The developer threads are for developing and feedback (which is at the OP's discretion to act upon), not to answer questions you have. As far as overwhelming, this is why each section in XDA has the ability to do a search within...so you can narrow down the options.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Check out the guides, they show how to root, de-brand etc., or just flash a stock official rom (sammobile.com got them, also XDA has threads with downloads). Be always careful to choose, if you have a I9300, the I9300 roms though.

Hello people.

Upon reading the whole forum thoroughly, i find no active Ligux (Pure) here. Therefore, im starting one.

Please provide me some details on the bugs present in CyanogenMod 10 and the features you love to see.

Oh. For your info,

[LG Optimus Black] Edvin73:
I think that for most people here wants a stable CM10(.1) based whatever rom with good quality cam and working gps.Fancy features are useless if the rom is not usable for the most common stuff.

And "Bruno from Mars", if you will do it, you will gain a Arcee like status on this forum and everyone will bow in front of you.:rolleyes:

Ok. Im in the works of the ROM.

this ROM will feature a aim of not adding features to bombard more bugs, but to solve bugs before adding a single new feature. This grants your wish, and is also my aim. to help fellow xda users

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
On my Nexus One, with CM7.2, it had a great feature where a separate volume level is set and remembered when I plug in headphones. And when I unplugged them it reverted to whatever I had the speaker volume set at, without anything plugged into the 3.5 mm jack.

In ParanoidAndroid for the Nexus 4, this doesn't seem to be the case. Does this work on the current version of CM for the Nexus 4? Is this a feature only in certain roms but not others?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] megapimp:
I'm looking to make the screen adjust without soo much overscan or zoom on my tv. Why in the world is this feature left out.? My cheap android stick has this feature so android os can fit the screen perfect am I missing something? It looks ghetto having this bad ass setup on my 70inch HDTV. I also tried it on my 3 other TV's same thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
I had this problem with my display being zoomed on the TV too. I fixed it by going to my actual TV settings and changed the screen mode from Zoom to Natural. If you go to your TV settings and search for Screen Mode or something similar to that, change it from whatever it is currently to a display size that fits the Note 2's display properly.

EDIT: Let me know if that doesn't fix it or if you need help with my advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] megapimp:
It's not that here the Os over extends the tvs are fine I tried same thing kinda annoying

Change you Netflix quality to the middle one. I had issues with the top quality setting.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] finlessbob:
So I have both the Jynxbox HD and also the mini HD.

Both came with a remote but the mini remote does not have the gyro or acts like a mouse.

Any ideas why the Jynxbox HD remote will not work on the mini except the power button?

I looked at the remote.conf in /system/etc and they are the same between the 2 models.

I have taken both your ROMs links above apart and I do not see the reason why? In fact both ROMs look 100% the same?

Build.prop model= the same device model. I think there is no difference between them that I can see.

Might be a hardware thing between them for the IR remote? Any ideas?

Also the remotes are NOT 2.4 as the specs say. Both are IR.

One thing I will say. Thanks for startin this thread. There is not much info on these devices out there! I am learning these devices the hard way!

Bob
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kemonine96:
The HD remote needs the included USB dongle plugged in to work as a Gyro. If you plugin the dongle to the Mini it should behave like an airmouse/gyro.

I noticed they look 100% identical myself, but I wanted to post what I yanked from each device regardless. Gives the dev's more to play with in the end. The remotes should work with either device. I have both on the same desk and ended up discontinuing use of the remotes due to cross over.

There is also some discussion happening on Freenode in the #xbmcandroid channel. AdamOutler, Entropy512 and I have been discussing some of the various bits the last few days.

exFAT Support

I can confirm an exFAT filesystem created from Windows 7, written to from Linux using the FUSE filesystem driver can be read on the JynxBox HD.

Hey there,

Been playing with the Jynxbox HD and Mini. I've been using a 3TB HDD for my local content and Jynxbox is able to read it. It's formatted to NTFS so I guess external HDD's up to 3TB and NTFS are supported.

Hope that helps someone out :)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kemonine96:
Not sure offhand. I don't believe mine changes the LED colors much, just shows them lit or flickering if memory serves.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kemonine96:
Not that I am aware of. Do you know of a possible candidate ROM to test?

There has been some discussion of building a Cyanogen based ROM... But, there is a lot of work that would need to go into it and a good copy of the kernel is going to be needed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kemonine96:
There is a thread on pivosforums that outlines the fix for netflix. Having said that: I applied the fix and found the netflix playback to be a bit lacking. On the full quality setting I had a lot of stuttering and buffering problems. Dropping the quality down to a level resulted in pretty poor quality on my TV.

When you run upgrade->local update, it will not list below files on Jynxbox Android HD box automatically, please press menu button on remote controls 8 times for it to show up.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praveer:
Hello all, I am wanting to get a good battery life on my mobile. So if I use a marmite kernel with stock jb will I get a better battery life or marmite kernel with rasbeanjelly will give better battery life.

What combo among the two I mentioned you all suggest for good battery life.

Thank you for reading.

Regards
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ted Mosby:
I think that kernels have very little impact on power consumption (except if they running undervolted, downclocked or are broken in some way). More important thing is the ROM and apps that you use on daily base.

Best battery consuming ROM from my exp is CM10 stable with stock kernel, but maybe with 15-20 mins of screen time more than stock at most. Best tip for conserving power on NS and JB is to switch off 3G, Google Now and Location service when you don't need it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praveer:
Thanks for replying. But isn't people facing issues with cm10?

Regards
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ted Mosby:
Perhaps with 10.1, but 10 stable, or the latest 20122012 nightly was pretty stable. I had one issue only with it - auto brightness was somewhat jerky... That's only battery wise.

Fastest ROM for me is MDO by knzo, RasbeanJelly mod which I am using right now. 3 and a half hours of screen time is same as 3 hours and 15 minutes. Either way I need to charge it at the end of the day.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dpt206:
I got my Nexus 4 bumper this week and it looks awesome, but the i realized that the opening for the headphone jack was too small soI had to buy an auxiliary cable so i can listen to music in my car.

I bought these ones.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Griffin...lack/8959834.p?id=1217029959516&skuId=8959834

It fits snug on the phone and I hear a click and the sound works fine, but sometimes the sound cuts out and the settings from my car switch from AUX to CD. The music on my phone keeps playing, but sometimes in order to switch back to AUX I have to fiddle with the cable on my phone.

If the cable was being disconnected the music would just stop, but it doesn't. I had the same problem with another cable that I had before I bought the bumper.

Please and thank you for your help.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trainerKEN:
I, too, had the same problem with my earphones. But I stopped buying highend earphones a long time ago because I kept losing them. So, I basically went to Winners (same company as TJ Maxx in Canada) and bought another set that fits for $10. I only use earphones when I work out and when I'm driving (for making calls)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dpt206:
Also, I noticed that the headphone is bent a little to the left. Is that normal?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] paescheh:
Same here. So i guess its normal. Beside the beautiful design, it's pretty sad that the headphone jack isn't big enough. All my cables are to big...the one in the car, the one to my radio and the one to my headphones...

Guess i have to get along with this ;)

Hey all,

I'm attempting to install Avatar ROM 2/2/13 as my 2nd rom under Siyah 7.7S, I wiped the 2nd data/cache and dalvik, flashed the rom, then booted. After the boot animation the ROM is usable in all ways, but about every 15 seconds or so the boot animation comes back in for 20 seconds, then it goes back to being usable, the cycle keeps repeating. Strange problem I haven't seen or heard from before. I'm a little confused about whether one can dual boot 4.1.2 ROMs but I think one can, and this one seems close to working. Any advice? My primary ROM is CM 10.1.

Thanks in advance for any help!

can you tell me how to make this file availabe moved ?

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rohit02:
i think you have to first change the premission of that folder (/mnt/asec/com...(bla-bla-bla)../pkg.apk) to rw--r--r for time being then copy that file to wanted folder and then again set the permission to the first one as it was earlier of the same folder(/mnt/asec/com...(bla-bla-bla)../pkg.apk )

just give it a try. hope it works:good:
