If your rooted then you simply must install ViPER4Android. It will change your sound on headphones, speakers and bluetooth. It had such an impact on my N10 speakers that I rarely use earplugs anymore.

Adding volume (gain) is the least it can do. As far as I'm concerned Google should buy the app and add it to stock android.

I have a problem with my galaxy nexus. After few minutes of using the phone, the touch sensitivity is becoming low, especially on navigation bar and it's quite difficult to press any button. It can be fixed by turning off and on the screen but it happens again few minutes later. I'm on cm10.1 last nightly, the same was on before ones and other kernels. It's really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bartholomey:
Hey,

Same issue. I enlarged the NavBar in the settings and it worked just fine after. Try that maybe ^^

It's a common one and already documented, there's currently no workaround apart from turning the screen.

Like the title says, I'm tired of the 4.0.4 TW or JB ROMs, I want to go back to something reliable and smooth. Any suggestions on the best cm9/9.1 ROMs?

I'm downloading the CM 9.1 ROM with their stock kernel, so please let me know what's the best out there for ICS.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_malina:
Any reason you want to stay with CM9? I was running the latest CM10 nightly and it was fast/stable and got great battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
Call echo is a big issue, also there isn't a completely stable release of JB out yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_malina:
Did you have noise suppression enabled? I had had call quality issues until I did that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
Check with most dev's they'll almost all tell you that the echo on JB builds is due to the kernel. 4.1.2, 4.2, and the TW version of 4.1.2 all suffer from the echo, some DEVICES themselves don't have the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrBeatnut:
I've had no problem with call echo on JB 4.2.2 I always use an older CWM non touch version and use darkside super wipe and darkside cache cleaner. Tried using touch CWM recovery and had an issue. I live by CWM 5.0.2.7 non-touch. :thumbup: :thumbup:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shmi117:
If your T989 (Titanium, its the official color name) is having problems you might wanna look into the official ported release of Touchwiz 4.1.2. It is a superlite ROM made by vincom. I haven't tried it out but before you permanently revert to CM9 you could try it out and see if it fixes your problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Let me correct my self. It can work but if u need the Ubuntu file ported to toro which there's one already but if u want the lates Ubuntu nightly it needs the updater script edited
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WyldOne91:
Oh gotcha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cctoro:
So we need the latest ubuntu file (edited) and the latest phablet file to boot the current build for toro? Just want to be clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
I believe so yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WyldOne91:
After doing a little bit of playing, I have one question. If I wanted to use this with the Toro, I would just download the latest Maguro .zip, change the updater script, and take the boot.img out of the dual-ubuntu-system.zip and copy that over in order to have the latest build of Ubuntu and the option to dual boot.

Is that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha_wolf:
that is what im testing right now lol

i will see if it works and let you know

edit=========

yes change the updater script and flash to toro i just did it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jzero88:

I'm thinking about picking one of these up tomorrow if the sale works out. Note that this sale was supposed to be last week, but they postponed it until tomorrow due to some technical difficulty.

http://reviews.cnet.com/marketplace/2748-32333_7-2096.html?tag=nl.e794&s_cid=e794&ttag=e794

I would be new to the Kindle Fire, but not Android. I have a Nexus 7, Evo LTE, and have owned and sold several other phones and tablets. This one interests me because it's a cheap option for the kids, and I would also like to take advantage of the free monthly kindle lending library book with my Prime account. The most important thing is to get the Play store on there so I can take advantage of my purchases. It looks like I can root the fire, install the play store, and a market opener app, unroot, and still keep the existing OS. I believe the original OS is required to use the extra Prime features (and also a couple of kids apps I've found exclusive to the kindle). I may eventually go with a CM10.1 based ROM in the future, but I would like to at least try the stock OS for the Prime features first.

One hesitation I have is the lack of storage for kids movies. I've seen the nook tablet refurbs for $80 over the holidays, which I know has 1GB ram and SD card slot, but the kf seems to have better software support both from the stock software to the custom development.

So, what do you guys think? Is this the best option for a sub-$100 tablet for kids?

If you install a custom rom (CM10.1) will the amazon market still recognize the tablet as a kindle fire, and can you still install the kindle fire edition apps?

UPDATED: Sale was changed to $70 from $75. Supposed to start tomorrow at 8AM PST.
[Kindle Fire General] tobiascuypers:
Kindle Fire Refurbs for $75

It would be a very good choice to get a kindle fire. And if you wanted to go cheaper you could always buy a demo version on eBay for $50. Then root it and put stock ROM on it. That's what I did for my brother
[Kindle Fire General] timtlm:
Thanks. I didn't realize about the demo units. They seem to end at about $55 on ebay, and many don't come with chargers. With the sale now at $70, I think I'll take the 90 day warranty and the ability to take back to best buy.
[Kindle Fire General] timothycricket:
You won't be able to download Kindle Edition apps on the playstore if you put 10.1 on there. Personally, I would jump on this tablet for 70, after putting 10.1 on there it runs pretty smooth, does all I want it to, all around good media device. Not even jealous of my friend's nexus 7 :).
[Kindle Fire General] timtlm:
This deal is live now for anyone interested. You need to enter the promo code "cnetkindle" when checking out.
[Kindle Fire General] Vintage144:
I bought a brand new one for $100 bucks about 2 weeks ago on ebay , I havent gone custom rom yet , I have rooted (fff & twrp) , still contemplating losing the amazon stuff , I dont really read much so losing it isnt a big thing , I really like the size , I also have an Acer a500 and that is 10 inch , but the Kindle is actually the "just right size" (after my Galaxy Note) !
[Kindle Fire General] paulsonmcreilly:
$70 is a great price for one of these, even if local storage isn't great. Thanks for the tip on the sale!

Its a sturdy device that my 3 yr old son loves. But we don't travel with it so we don't need local storage. Streaming via Netflix over WiFi is working fine for us.

I didn't care for the stock launcher or OS and so fixed that. But maybe you could just install a different launcher after getting the play store installed. Then you wouldn't lose your amazon perks.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abhitha:
Hi guys,

I know that there was atleast 3 other posts about this issue, and yes I have gone through/ tried all of the mentioned methods to rejig my tablet. Here's some background into what has happened:

The tablet was rooted/unlocked although I can't recall whether I installed a custom recovery or not. The troubles began notably after the 4.2.2 update was pushed to the tablet.

I woke up in the morning and turned on the tablet (I turn if off religiously) to be greeted by a screen which reads:

"Type Password to Decrypt Storage." Needless to say, I've tried any/all possible passwords this could've been, but I myself had not ever set this password on the tablet.

Here are a the methods of 'fixing' I have tried:

Turn off tablet, boot into bootloader, go into recovery mode - factory data reset. <- Was 'successful' but still the same message

Attempted to use Fastboot to lock the tablet - Fastboot recognizes the device under the 'fastboot devices' command. <- Was 'successful' but same message.

Once giving up trying to 'relock' the tablet, I called up Play Store support, explained to them what had happend, and admitted to them that the tablet is still unlocked <- Cited voided warranty and refferred me to a number for 'further support' which I lost..

Used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit under the 'Softbrick' option to 'Flash Stock/Unroot' <- All dialouges succeeds but after boot the same message.

Tried using the same toolkit to downgrade to 4.1.2 <- ALL dialouges FAIL. same message at boot.

Ran the 'Flash-all' script inside the factory 4.1.2 image <- all dialogues FAILED: captured screen attached. same message at boot.

Needless to say I am a little bit more than annoyed at this point; had I abused this tablet with a plethora of ROMs and Flashing, etc I would be more accepting, but I kept the tablet as close to stock as I could (including stock rom which caused all this.) Anything I could try to get this tablet to work is appreciated; if not I have a $200 brick in my hands.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
When exactly does the "enter password" pop-up dialog occur?

That is - is it produced by the bootloader, or by something which is being booted (e.g. the regular OS boot image)?

Or, to put that same Q differently - does it also prevent booting of a recovery (whether custom or stock)?

I don't have an answer for you, but if it happened to me and a custom recovery could be booted, I would be inclined to use that to see if /system, /data, and /cache can be mounted.

Also - trying to read between the lines - it sounds like you can lock and unlock the boot loader at will - is that correct?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abhitha:
Hi bftb0,

The "enter password" dialog isn't actually a pop-up - it is the first thing that shows on the screen after the nexus' "X" splash-screen.

I believe that this screen has to do with whatever is being booted (it doesnt make sense for the bootloader to come into play after the 'X' splashscreen).

Also, I am unsure as to how to answer your question about whether it prevents booting of a custom recovery- I have only tried to revert to stock this whole time; if you would like I could try flashing (or booting from) a custom recovery, and try to mount the file system.

To answer your last question, although it seems I can 'lock and unlock' at will, the locking mechanism doesnt seem to be doing anything, partly because the 'locked' symbol still shows up at the black 'Google' screen, and also because if I try 'Fastboot oem unlock' it tells me that the device is already unlocked (although I ran the 'fastboot oem lock' command prior to that).

Hope this helps you to help me :)

Thanks!

[EDIT]: I was able to use the Nexus root toolkit to boot into a custom recovery (TWRP), and the first thing that shows up is a prompt to decrypt storage (which I can cancel out of.)

I tried wiping internal storage/ factory reset- both of which fails at 'Updating partition details'. In the advanced menu I have the ability to use file manager to look at the files inside the Nexus, but I haven't tried moving anything around or such (because there is none of my files left in the storage.) When I try to mount my storage, the only option I have is to 'Decrypt Storage' before mount, to which I obviously know no password.

Hope this info helps.
