Hey guys,

I am on UHD Rom 2.0.3 and have installed the new Z launcher via cwm.

Well, the layout of the launcher is very cool, but it laggs very hard in homescreen and app drawer.

What should I do to get it smooth?

Thanks

Buy a new phone. But seriously, how much of free ram do you have? You can always try to overclock or flash JB adreno drivers it helped me a lot when I used stock ICS. If none of these helped then you can only wait for some better answers...

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a Rearth Ringky slim on eBay and was told it was a version 2, It has now arrived as I am debating if it is the 1st or 2nd version.

It has a little flex but I am not sure if that is me being fussy. Is there any way to tell?

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabbeboy:
If it has any flex at all on the left side, then its the faulty version, sorry.

I should be very tight, and i can say that you will notice the difference ones you have tried both.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellohappy22:
Thats the problem I have only tried one, It did seem a little wobbly on one side, but i pushed it in a little bit and now it fits nice!, Also ive been told the top left corner is raised more on the version 2? Would you know if this is correct?

Yep
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellohappy22:
Okay thats great, with stuff like this I seem to be a little OCD. As I want everything about my phone to be perfect!, So I just want to make sure I am not having my pants pulled down and I do have the correct version.

I'm the same way. Except that since the revised version had that one big corner, I just kept using the old version because that corner really hurt my brain after I noticed it :eek: .

Hahaha same! With the old version all I did was bend in the sides and it fits fine... Did you fix that to fox the issue?

Hi I' a web designer and graphic artist, not much android developer, I've made this intent of a bootanimation.zip, even make the zip with KEKA for mac osx ppc and photoshop, but somewhat it is just showing a black screen.

Homebrew animation [SOLVED for Mac users]

Finally! I've just solved, many threads were correct the problem with the bootanimation.zip is the compression so I've downloaded the stuffit plus and I set the preferences to no compression and expert mode to the middle between faster and smaller compression level 8 and I've opened in the stuffit archive manage one of the many bootanimation.zip files I have from original and finally I got it good! :good:

Now it is working this solution is specially for all mac users (like me) with photoshop and stuffit archive manager. When in the window of the stuff archive manager, you are able to navigate the files inside the zip, so the better is to erase the originals and replace by yours, don't forget to have the desc.txt written good.

As an extra precaution, when you finally have all your files made in photoshop jpg, go and open preview and re-save them as jpg again in order to have a regular jpgs, maybe is nothing but I've just wanted to be sure since the bmp from photoshop is not read as a boot_logo by android, so my those are my two cents.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] berre:
Hi

I'm sorry if there are similar threads, I've tried the search function and could find some posts about the differences but my question is actually more about the experience...

I know the biggest differences is the 4G and the RAM

Now the 4G isn't that big of a deal for me because it's not yet available in my country thanks to our idiot politicians

The thing that interests me the most is the 2G RAM vs 1G RAM and the battery consumption

Is there anyone here who upgraded from 9300 to 9305 who can shed some light on this?

Does the extra RAM really makes a lot of difference? Is the 9305 worse in terms of battery life (taken into account that I would disable 4G for the time being if this is possible)

Thanks

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jjpro45:
AW: [Q] buy i9305 for 40$ more or stick with i9300?

2 Gb of RAM definitely make the difference. I have now 900 Mb free memory and when I used the I9300 I only had 100 Mb free memory. And battery consumption it's pretty the same by me. Just turn of 4G if you don't need it ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] petterkatt:
Be avare that there are a lot more custom roms to the i9300, at the moment at least.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Magik_Breezy:
With the recent release of Liquid Smooth & the advancement of our CyanogenMod 10.1 I would say that the I9305 is doing quite well in AOSP roms now, I would spend $40 on a shirt so it is no-doubt worth the upgrade
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ebenezer57:
Well it depends. The 2GB ram really makes quite a bit of difference but the downside for me at least is the lack of a decent number of roms.

There still are some pretty awesome TW roms like RipperRom and rXtreme, not to mention the 4.2.1/2 roms recently released. But the support and amount of development when it comes to roms is much lesser than the i9300.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Obagleyfreer:
I upgraded from i9300 (actually I still own it but it's my mess about phone now) and It's 10 times better than i9300!

The 2gb RAM makes a huge difference and the battery life is pretty much the same :) I would definitely spend an extra $40 on it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] btemtd:
I9305 4 Sure....

To me I have owned both... And the battery is the same.... The main difference is internet speed and Multitasking I can have 17-20 apps open and switch between them all and they open instantly I havent tried more apps then this... But i remember with the I9300 I can only get up to about 5 or 6 then when I switch between some they have to reload the entire app from the start again. So for $40 I woud not even think twice about it LOL its only $40 which is about 1-2hr of work at the average job.

And as for More roms, Yeh there is more roms but thats because there are more users, Whats the point of more roms when you only want to use 1 anyway.

And All you need in the rom is the Mods and tweaks that you like, And I can tell you this much I can have ANY mod the I9300 has. My rom Is full of features and I dont even need to change firmware anymore if I dont want to.

The main mods I can think off which i use are:

Aosp Lockscreen

Ink Effect sometimes

Long press Back button to kill

Hold volumes to skip

Enhanced Note2 Camera

Torch On lockscreen

Crt Off effect

Battery tweaks

Call record - for fun

Theming almost everypart of the phone...

Toggle mod

And much moree....

For ppl who like AOSP well

CM 10.1 now working for I9305

One of the best Kernels also (Perseus}

I can guarantee you there is more then enough development. The I9300 has actually got Too much development when I had my I9300 I Only tried I think 3-4 roms.. I think the I9305 has around 8 ROMS now to choose from .. Again more then enough.

But saying this either phone is good. But the I9305 is a little better. (Stronger)

I have an i9305 and wish I didn't upgrade.

The custom ROM support just isn't good enough compared to the i9300. I was actually considering downgrading as I don't use 4G. Speed wise, the extra RAM doesn't really make much of a difference
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] empedokles:
One more difference seems to be that i9300 can only share hd-ready (720p) to the all share cast dongle. I9305 will do full hd. This is related to the more ram.

Definitely go for i9305, I had 9300 as company phone and recently got 9305, much better in terms of multitasking thanks to the bigger ram which makes a huge difference, no application reloading any more.

Also custom rom part we are catching up with cm 10 and liquidsmooth both good enough to be daily drive, and not to mention other tw based roms.

For only 40 bucks more, you won't regret at all I guarantee you.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] fotbal5:
You can't have FM radio if you got no hardware for it.

As for the better one, go for i9305 more ram, better battery is you use 3g, LTE support and go for i9300 if you want FM (as for custom roms, the i9300 has more but i9305 still have a few but good one and in time i don't think the support will be lower, look at i9001, i9003 or 9070 all still got support).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNoticer:
I am still wondering if my phone dies after flashing stock ics via ODIN and then wipe BECAUSE it won't (never did) pass the Samsung GALAXY Note screen.

My Process:

Any Custom ROM

Download mode

Open Odin

Select pda file XXLRK

Hit flash

Wait

After finish go recovery

Wipe

Is this 100% safe? If not what should I do? it never ever passed the screen automatically

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smack_exTreme:
Please don't flame me for asking this question, I've read a lot, but still have not found a definitive answer for this question.

Is there a fully functional android rom (preferably SD) gingerbread or ics, that has everything working ok with no bugs, just like an wm 6.5 rom?

I'm asking this because I'm pondering buying an used HD2 for some android goodness, and can't completely decide if it's the way to go. Since I would like everything to work smooth and stabile, for instance like my stupid iphone 3gs (please don't judge, got it as a gift years ago).

I thank you all for your replies in advance!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pharmeceutikle:
Digitizers on HD2 are notorious for breaking! My original HD2 which I had for three years needs a replacement. I love HD2 so much I replaced it with another one running Ansar's WP 7.8 and Boxmax Android in NativeSD. WP 7.8 works wonderfully and is my daily use OS. No problems whatsoever. My Boxmax Android is old and I need updating to its latest build but I find I rarely use it so I always put off on doing that.

By the way, I don't know if anybody has asked u yet but how'd you come about with that handle "rape_artist"? Just curious....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
For practical use, yes.

If you look deep enough, no.

Because the HD2 was originally a Windows device some new drivers are simply not available for it.

Having said that, the Typhoon Gingerbread ROM had *everything* working. If one does not need the latest JellyBean ROM it will work flawlessly. The only things that will not work are a few newer apps written for Android 4.x and up, such as Apex or Nova launchers.

The newer ICS and JB ROMs work well but again, you can find a few 720p videos which will not play right. Netflix also has issues and will not run.

If you figure out which exception you can live without the HD2 can be a good choice.
