Everything in Sense 3.6 WORKS. Sense 4+ has some bugs, but they are so few that they only annoy a niche of users. The biggest annoyance I have with 3.6 is the fact that it has a vertical paginated app drawer (de-sensed options not withstanding). This is an extremely minor flaw in my opinion. Really, you pay the cost for the cutting edge of technology with an outdated phone. It's only outdated in the sense that technology for these devices advances so rapidly though.

Otherwise, Sense 4+ is much more customizable. Sense 3.6 is what the phone is stock with ICS. If you're going to root and ROM, you might as well just give all of them a shot (3.6, 4+, AOSP). Otherwise, it would just do to root and leave it stock, but that's no fun when we have AOSP Jellybean running!

It really boils down to a matter of preference. I like 4+ because it's newer, but not for any other reason regarding functionality. AOSP is my choice (with AOKP being my favorite), but all of the ROMs have their place. I encourage you to at least try one of each flavor. Although setting up your phone frequently can be a chore, it's worth it to find what best suits you.

Happy flashing!
[HTC Rezound] epy0nkaru:
I prefer 4.X over 3.6, if only because of better integration amongs 3rd party apps, sense feels less intrusive in 4.0, the widgets look much better, and that launcher bar on the bottom is so ugly in 3.6. I can only stand 3.6 desensed roms aesthetically, and even then there's problems because I can't use the lockscreen.

I've also got ViperRez installed running the ICS Icon pack by KODEV and the stock holo apps look really great on the rezound's screen

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
While I know the android os is much more secure than say...the windows environment when it comes to virii and the like...I'm curious as to what anti-theft, antivirus, antimalware (whether be separate apps for each..or all in one) people use? I've heard mention of (and often seen by default installed) lookout antivirus; have heard many a mention of avast (and have used that in the past) but also lately have heard of cerebrus anti theft? My main concern IS with anti theft so which would be the publics opinion on the best of that? Knowing the gs3 is a rather popular phone I'd rather prevent it from getting stolen. So....any recommendations preferably based upon first hand experience?

Thanks in advance,

Re: What security software do you use? If any?

I use Cerberus for anti theft.

I don't see any point to virus scanners.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoda_man:
Cerberus is what I use for anti theft. It works great and doesn't run unless you send a awake up call so it doesn't eat up your battery. It does cost a few bucks but you can run up to 5 devices for that price. Also if your rooted you can move it to your system partition so it can't be uninstalled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FesterTOR:
Re: What security software do you use? If any?

Never use anti theft. Phone never leaves my pocket or hand. The only antivirus I use is Mobile Care. Scan it once every few days and that's it. Still haven't ever had a virus or malware.

AVG. Seems to do the job so far

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gseyffert:
AVG. Has antivirus, antitheft services, app backup, data monitoring (in the pulldown menu), and tons of other awesome features. Some are premium, but the antitheft is free (I believe the app backup feature is premium, but I've never used it). I haven't had a chance to use the antitheft features yet (thankfully), but AVG has been around for a while and I trust them.

I had been using Lookout for a couple of years, but I realized it was just wasting battery and space since it seems pretty hard to get a virus on an android device. Lately I've just been using Cerberus since I'm afraid of loosing my phone.

Hi,

Any suggestion for a best Kernel for the stock rom on WFS?

Any kernel that would provide me good performance and battery life while on data

Thank you!
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
for best battery consumption stock kernel is best i guess.

but if you want overclocking kernel,ext4 support cake v1.4 is best for u.

yeah ofcourse.filesystem works by kernel so if your kernel supports ext4 then your rom will supports ext4.so you can use internal memory tweaks which needed ext4 file system:good:

recently purchased a samsung galaxy y or GT-s5360L from my mobile provider in jamaica (provider uses 850 mhz for hspa/4g) 1900/900 used as Edge. The phone came with loads of bloatware and i was trying to remove it with titanium backup to no avail. I am a noob so i dont have any backups nandroid or otherwise. was running creeds rom except the headphone jack was not working. I tried to switch to hyperion 7 but this bricked the phone so i had to use one of docky's rom to flash it. I wwas able to get the phone working once more however no more hspa. because i voided the warranty and i cant find my receipt because i didnt foresee this i am literally screwed. is there is a hspa fix ? Help here is the info on the phones in stores

[Networking] electro`:
You probably didn't break it.

Make sure you're in a 4G area first off.

Now follow these steps,

1. Go to the Dialer

2. Type *#*#4636#*#*

3. This will lead to a secret testing menu, click on the first option.

4. Scroll down and there will be a Network Type, and click on that and change it to WCDMA only

5. If you do have a 4G signal, you should be connecting.

Hope that helps!

If that doesn't help, then i suggest following a guide so you can flash the stock rom and unroot and relock the bootloader.

Then you can send it in to the company, and they will never know.

I doubt that. The job posting news sites are linking talks about source code compatibility between Win8 and WP8. Nothing about running WP apps on Win8.

What is this based on? The Windows Phone SDK uses a different API (the WinPhone api even in WP8 is NOT WinRT/"Store App", rather it is still largely the same as WP7x)

Not only that, but why would you want the lower functionality of a WP app on WinRT?

hi...

i am planning on rooting my SGN2 this weekend but i have some questions in my mind i wanna clear up first

1. if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), and still use stock rom, will i get OTA updates or will i need to unroot?

2. if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), and still use stock rom, will i lose any stock functions or will it just be the same as an UNROOTED SGN2?

3. are there any known issues of rooting SGN2 and stay on Stock rom?

4. if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), and still use stock rom, will there be any differences from my UNROOTED STOCK rom, from a ROOTED STOCK rom? what are they?

thanks guys, and more power..

hope to hear some replies :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
1. rooting will break OTA, sometimes unrooting with factory reset needs to get OTA, so i straight way like to say, don't expect OTA too simple if you want to root. and be prepared for flashing full ROM with Odin

2.You won't lose function but learning hub OR skyGo and some banking application known to stop working as long as you have rooted device.

3.Rooting voids warranty, and you have to unroot (as well reset counter,if you have it raised)before sending to service station.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard.ryan24:
follow up

thank you... :)

ok, so if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), then an update comes out for example, 4.1.2, i will have to

1. unroot, (which is no problem)

and 2. factory reset, which will cause me to lose all my data and back ups? which can be trouble some

am i understanding it right?

and what do you mean by "and be prepared for flashing full ROM with Odin" i wont get to keep stock rom?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hally79:
Just use CF root,flash with Odin now you will be rooted on stock rom ;) if you want to update to 4.1.2 just download the FW from sammobile,go ahead and flash it using Odin again now you will be no longer rooted. But before you flash the stock FW be sure to reset the counters(triangle away)

And yes a factory reset you will loose everything.you will not loose whats on your external memory card ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
factory reset you will lose data but once you are rooted, there is lot option to backup, titanium is one of best.

"and be prepared for flashing full ROM with Odin" means in any case you won't get update, you can anytime download full ROM and flash it with odin. when OTA release, sametime you can also find full ROM for that update.

You can unroot from exynos abuse and try to get ota

If fails try wiping data and most probably you should get ota, but remember i said most probably, i have seen case after wiping you may fail to get ota, in that case you will have only option to update is odin (you may try Kies too)

When new update will available most probably other methods should work(as of now other both method works till rom released today) , but when there is no 4.1.3,it is difficult to say, so stay tuned to thread I mentioned few post back.
