I'm using whitepages caller id. It's better and no monthly fee once you are out of the free trial. Look up whitepages caller id apk on Google

[Acer Iconia A500] ericdormer62:
Hello, This is my first post, and after a few weeks of unsuccessful struggle, I need help. I am hoping someone on here can assist me.

I have a Acer A500 tablet. Some time ago I arranged to get ROOT permissions, then I installed Ice Cream Sandwich, and I have been happy with it for the past 6 months.

But in the past few weeks it got slower and slower as I read online news, etc. It seemed like it was halting for a few seconds on internal memory accesses. I even noticed if I removed the adapter power cord it would speed up, but if the power cord was installed, it seemed to halt more often. Finally the tablet got so slow, it became too frustrating to use. I decided I needed to install a new kernel and system ROM.

I managed to install a JellyBean System ROM, and it booted ok, but I found this interface to be inferior to ICS for my tastes.

I then managed to install an ICS, but the WiFi would not work.

I then spent some time in the various forums, and downloaded every kernel and system ROM I could find. Various kernels seem to go with each type of System ROM.

I have tried different mixes of kernels, and System ROMs ranging from ICS, to Honeycomb 3.2 and Honeycomb 3.1. In all cases after installing the kernel and then the System ROM, I reboot the tablet, and the droid animation begins flashing on the screen and it just keeps flashing forever. Sometimes the flash rate changes from fast to slow, then back to fast again, but it repeats endlessly and never seems to complete the booting process.

Can anyone recommend a kernel and System ROM that support ICS, that are currently available for me to download.

If not, then how about Honeycomb System ROM and kernel.

Are there some steps I am missing that explain why the bootup droid animation continues endlessley and the boot never concludes?

I gratefully appreciate any insight anyone can offer.

Thanks,

Eric

Well, telling which rom is the best, is like asking a million questions, each with a different answer.

However, I "can" tell you what's going on with your tablet.

Generally, the android OS pretty much takes care of memory tasks and such pretty good. So the issue you have with the slow downs, is more than likely caused by;

a. Way too many apps running in the background.

b. A "rogue" or poorly programmed app.

c. Apps incompatible with the system. (usually TB related)

Your wifi issue you mentioned, is caused by;

a. Didn't do full wipes/formats before installing rom.

b. Used a backup and tried restoring old apps, possibly not compatible.

You're getting the little dead android guy, because that's the stock recovery, and it's missing some critical files from the OS. Or it doesn't match the bootloader version, or a combination of both. Or it's trying to boot some "update.zip" off your SD card, and it ain't working.

My advice, would be to use a rom by Ezterry or smaury or the "Slim" by ktmdave. These are as close to stock as you want. You can always flash a kernel from linuxsociety or ezterry later.

The roms by Civato, are also some of the best, but customized heavily in some areas, but great nonetheless.

If your tablet slows down, it's because of what I listed earlier. Also remember, restoring old data from a titanium backup, on a new rom, is pretty much a big NO-NO. Asking for issues.Sometimes that game data just has to go.

1. Is my phone less secure when I root?

2. Is it safe to still use my banking app?

3. Which recovery should I use?

4. Can I go back to stock without anyone knowing that it was rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
1. Is my phone less secure when I root? No

2. Is it safe to still use my banking app? Yes

3. Which recovery should I use? Twrp, for me its nicer, and gives me the option to name my backups.

CWM is awesome, don't get me wrong. I've used both extensively. But I found TWRP has more advantages.

4. Can I go back to stock without anyone knowing that it was rooted? Google flash counter reset. I've sold plenty of phones that have been reverted back to stock, and tripping the counter. Are you worried about the carrier finding out? Or voiding warranty? You won't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
Wow thanks so much! One more for you, if I use Exynosabuse to root how do install twrp?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
Or do you recommend using a different method to root and install recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Its simpler to just use the note ii toolkit. And the guy above isnt quite right. Theoretically the phone could become less secure but it is fine as long as you only allow root permission to apps you know are safe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
Where can I find the tool kit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tyshemi:
Nah just go to the market and in stall goo manager and once you open the app hit your menu buttton and slect flash open recovery and your good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
But my phone would ask me if an app was asking for root permission right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PuppetSin:
It will pop up SuperSU permission as your installing TWRP :) I just did the ExynosAbuse root + GooManager install of TWRP last night in fact!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
I also suggest note 2 toolkit. Its so simple to use..

You can find it under the development section. I'm too lazy to search for it lol

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

I found that goo manager sometimes cant find the note. It says it isnt a recognized device. Hence why i suggest note 2 toolkit.

I'm not sure how it could be less secure. If anything it could be more secure if you change the default root password. Never did on Android but did all the time on iOS. Also, most apps this user will download will come from the Play store. Which are safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Less secure in that apps can have more control over your device. And not all apps from the play store are safe and with root the malicious properties can increase if you aren't careful. And if you have adb over network enabled people can do even more damage with root rights
[Nexus 4 General] brummiesteven:
Hi,

After using Windows Phone since launch, I've decided to switch back to android. Primarily to use the apps which still aren't on the WP platform.. I still think WP is the best mobile OS but the app store is poor, thought it would improve with WP8 but it didn't.

My Nokia Lumia 820 is on ebay and has been since Saturday, it ends this coming Saturday. I ordered a Nexus 4 on Saturday also so I would hopefully receive the device before I have to send off my lumia.

The shipping estimate is 1-2 weeks but I was hoping for 1 week, I read a cnet article which said it was more like 2 days... but XDA posts seem to conflict this.

My order has no status, it's not a "PreOrder", it's not been shipped and it doesn't even say processing... All I have is this:

Is there anyone who ordered recently who can shed light on the supply information? I can wait 2 weeks but I've been reading horror stories about it taking longer than that on here.

My issue is, when my Lumia 820 sells on Saturday and I send it off, I'll have no other mobile device... It's not like I can go and buy a cheap PAYG one either because I have a microsim.

Should I wait this out? Or Should I just cancel my order and go buy something else? Phones 4 U are selling the Xperia S for £179.99 on PAYG at the moment..
[Nexus 4 General] chealsearock:
That's what happened to me!

I ordered it on Wednesday the 30th, around 6pm and cam on Monday 4 30 pm. :) It's fine :D

Get a sim adapter (pennies) and use an old dumb phone / borrow one from someone for a few days. You'll live.

[Nexus 4 General] brummiesteven:

[Nexus 4 General] brummiesteven:
Did you get any updates? Told when it was shipped out etc?
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
Well I ordered yesterday and I only have the:

Feb 10

You placed an order with Google Commerce Ltd on Feb 10. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to x@gmail.com

Still don't have the google received your order update yet but oh well, I'm in the same boat too. I don't have a phone at the moment and it's gonna suck really bad if I have to wait 2 weeks!
[Nexus 4 General] brummiesteven:
Just incase anyone else is reading this...

There wasn't really anything to worry about. Ordered on Saturday 9th, Dispatched Email Monday 11th, out for delivery Tuesday 12th.

Hello, please read this article. There is a way to.return back to stock just like the first time by following theese steps here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2088809

After that you will be able to root your device with any method you like.

Me personnaly I was using omega rom, but i had poor battery life so i made a reset of the flash counter and after that i returnet to stock 4.1.1 rom via kies with the instructions above.

After that i simply flashed prerooted stock 4.1.2 ROM from anotber xda theme and now i have rooted firmware without loss of warranty and with flash counter 0 and system status Official.

Good luck

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AutruiP:
Hi,

What are the advantages and the reason to deodex a rom ? I read that some mods needed it but... How can I deodex the stock rom of the N4 ?

Thanks !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android88:
You can deodex using the Kitchen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
The advantage is that deodexed roms can be easily customized/themed where it is possible with odexed ROMs it's a lot more difficult and APK decompilers (apktool) don't decompile odexed files (at least to my knowlegde)

Odexed roms do run smoother and snappier since it preloads stuff into the VM. There has been great discussions on the topic.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AutruiP:
In which topic ?

So, if i'm understanding good, deodex a rom is running it slower ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Do a google search on Odexed Vs Deodexed. It's not that much slower. See with odexed each apk has a odex file so for example. SystemUI.apk.

On a deodexed ROM you would just have the SystemUI.apk

On an odexed ROM you will have SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.Odex

The odexed file gets preloaded into the virtual machine's cache

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AutruiP:
Bump ! Another question, if i deodex my rom, will all the apk i will install after it deodex too ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Only system apps are odexed.

Yes, they will all be deodexed, yes you will notice it performing slower. I did.

Just use an odexed ROM, I have seen very few justifications for deodexed stuff. Half the themes out there are complete toss anyway, only ones that mimic TouchWiz or AOSP seem to be any good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spdwiz18:
You dont need to zipalign them but it's s good idea to and only system apps and framework are odexed. Stiff you install after then is not.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
You can also use the app by Paul O'Brien that will reodex the deodexed system apps after you're done modifying any system files

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane youth:
at the moment i've got a nexus s and am seriously considering moving on to a nexus 4, i was wondering if anybody else has made the same move as i would like to know how is the battery life on the n4 compared to the ns. i assume it will be worse but i'm hoping it isn't that much of a difference. thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praveenmarkandu:
made the switch about a week ago. for me the battery life is definitely better. take note that the nexus s only had a 1500mah battery. the phone is a bit big but im quickly getting used to the size. this phone is also lag free.

thing that bothers me is that the phone gets really hot. mine hits 43 degrees celcius when playing games. im thinking of rooting to undervolt it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxSilent22xX:
The N4 is slightly more power hungry i would say but it is nothing a custom rom cant fix.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1ggyn1ce:
my previous device was a Nexus S. I made the switch when the S started to lag/freeze real bad and the battery started draining rapidly. I'm not one to switch devices every year but I'm glad I waited for the N4. Performance is buttery smooth, screen size is awesome, and battery life is excellent. Only minor gripe is that after rooting, it seems my phone sucks up more juice..but could be an isolated incident.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurael:
43 degrees is not hot... I'm not sure if you're talking case temp or die temp but put it in perspective - the SandyBridge quad core in my desktop PC doesn't throttle 'till 97 degrees C and the ATI GPU in the same system is similar (not that I'd let them get that hot, but Intel and ATI call it 'safe') Obviously this varies from chip to chip, and a CPU running at 80 degrees C is going to make a tablet or phone pretty difficult to hold on to but I'd imagine the limits they've defined are more about protecting the user and the battery (Li-Ion batteries don't like getting hot...) than the SoC itself. Also, the power consumption of a silicon transistor is directly proportional to its temperature, voltage and switching speed. If you let the device get too hot, battery life would go south quite rapidly.

Without undervolting, the Tegra 3 in my Nexus 7 will hit 70+ under simultaneous GPU/CPU load and this is how Google/Asus/NVidia shipped it, so seriously... Don't worry. I don't have an app that can monitor temps on the N4 and neither do I want to know so I'm not about to start fishing about for thermals in sysfs, although I'm sure it's cooler with a 200mV CPU undervolt than stock :)

I once peered into a rack owned by a client of mine to see one of the servers with a bright red flashing light on it... I asked the guys "how long has this been happening?!" - 4 years of running under high CPU loads at 90 degrees with a ceased fan wasn't enough to kill it, I doubt much will.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane youth:
ok thanks for the replies was a bit worried that the battery life would be considerable worse but you've set my mind at ease, nexus 4 here i come :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurael:
With the right ROM and kernel, the Nexus 4 is giving me the best battery life of any Android phone I've yet owned. Admittedly, it was just light browsing and youtube-watching, but I got 7 hours screen-on through my last charge cycle... Which is double what I got out of my One X with the same kind of usage!

You won't regret it :) Just don't put it down on even slightly slanted glossy surfaces with no case covering it... LG appear to have invented the perpetual motion phone!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Wow, still can't quite reach seven hours. Most I've had is about six and a half.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiral.v:
Made the jump myself about a week ago, my Nexus S was starting to lag quite badly and reboot itself a lot. Nexus 4 is leaps and bounds better, no lag, love the screen and battery life seems a little better but not much to be honest, might try rooting and see if it makes a difference with a custom kernal. Very pleased with it overall. Only thing I dislike is the lack of a removable battery and lack of sd card slot but will have to live with it.
[Milestone 2 General] karbon11:
Well I've been finding a way for some time to really toggle the status of usb debugging on tezet's awesome cm10 rom, and just now I've found a way to it, here's how:

Change the value of the file "/data/property/persist.service.adb.enable" from "1" to "0". That's it, reboot and it is gone.

To turn it on, simply change the value from "0" to "1" and reboot.

No, the toggle in "Developer options" won't work. And I've also found that once the usb debugging is turned off, the connection option of "Portal and tools" won't work either. As for the glitch, a post on defy's forum suggest that there is a bug in the source code released by quarx2k. If some one can confirm this, please let us know:)

Hey all, first post but a regular user and follower of this most amazing of all dev sites. XDA is awesomely awesome and Harmony Jellybean is the best ROM I've ever used.

Super stoked with the advances that have been made on this device and I'm beyond appreciative of the brilliant minds who are keeping it alive. **HIGH FIVE** :highfive:

1) Location access settings aren't working - Even with all the associated check boxes and switches flipped to on

2) Wifi is completely disabled on occasion where I let the tablet sleep and come back to it - The tablet says that it is turning wifi on but never does and the only way to fix it is with a reboot.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobe1976:
9 times out of 10 the location access has to do with Google access apps. Unzip the ROM and see if it is missing the associated apps that are in the Standard Jellybean Gapps.
