I think you can try downloading the Exchange.apk in the OP because I have it and Facebook works fine for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tornade69:
Already have exchange.apk installed. With the complete Rom, when i go to Settings, account, facebook and go into my account i have 3 boxes for syncing Contacts, Events and pictures i believe... Now only have the Contacts box to check...

Maybe it's the ScloudDataSync.apk... i'll try few ones with "sync" in the filename and see if those 2 boxes reappear...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pipergca:
Those and also try the SNS....apk's
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tornade69:
Thanks it works now with the sns...apk's

Also I'm getting FC in settings when i hit :

1- Home Screen Mode

and

2- Blocking Mode ( On-Off Toggle works but can't get into options)

Anyone Else ???

This rom is solid

This ROM is awesome. Great battery life even with my every 30 min updates on 3 stock widgets i run. I come home and still have 40-50%. On others it dies before i get home from work. Im sure there were better roms with better battery life but not 4.1.2, at least not yet Also this rom runs fast as it's slim. It's stable after those 2 tweaks from post #83 (those 2 are must) You can't have blaze radio and you need tmobile radio for it to be stable. No echos. No drops so far. It's solid.

Hello Fellow One X users,

Im kinda new to XDA, and I was wondering if I could get a new housing for my International One X, My housing is pretty beat up.

Would a One X Plus Housing fit? Ive looked at other posts on XDA but no one gives a straight answer.

Thanks

So I flashed a JB backup and then the kernel with fastboot, and the screen would shake from side to side nonstop whenever I wasn't touching it. So I pick up my laptop to flash a new kernel (old one must of been corrupted, I assumed) and I drop the damn thing when it's turned on. I'm pretty sure that it messed up the HD files to where fastboot was messed up (it would force close when I tried a command) So I found another application to flash a kernel, but it said I wasn't rooted. So I, desperate, hit the delete kernel button. When I tried booting, sometimes the red light would flash three times,other times nothing.

I have since gotten a new phone (was already due for an upgrade) but as a hobbyist, I'd like to try to fix my old phone to maybe give it to someone else.

EDIT: Whoops, wrong thread. I'll keep it in here just in case I get a reply here and not in the Q/A

Flashtool can usually fix something like this.

Get yourself a stock FTF and flash it to your device using flashtool. It should bring it back to life again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjtmaster:
Fastboot nor flash mode are working, but I'll try it. Upon digging my play out, Whenever I plug it in to my computer, it says USB device not recognized, and it continously flashed red on the power indicator. Just thought that was worth noting.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjtmaster:
So I downloaded flashtool, and I saw that it came with fastboot. I don't know how, but I managed to get it into fastoot mode and it recognized it. But now I figured out how to fix it, I can't get it into fastboot mode. Whenever I connect it it flashes red and it doesn't go to fastboot mode. Do you have any idea how to get it into fastboot mode so I can flash a kernel?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] iytrix:
Hello!

Firstly, I am not a noob, so you don't need to explain things TOO simply to me. I should know most of what you people are talking about.

So I won a Kindle Fire 2 at work, worked with the team to help with getting that rooted, and of course, android is simply amazing and makes the kindle infinitely better. My co-worker is requesting the same for her Nook Tablet. Now, my nook has been the most odd to root, but I also was talking to the dev team WHILE they were getting things to work, so I'm not sure if these tablets are harder to root with the botched OSs, or it was just because the devs were still making a solid method. That said, because it's not mine. I want to get the most stable OS running on it, and I REALLY do not want this to be the first device I brick.

Basically, what I am asking, is for the links to do things properly, and your opinion on the "best" ROM. I know for me, I have been wanting that freaking pie menu since it was announced from paranoid android. However, this is for my COWORKER and not ME, so I have to put my personal tastes aside and just go for stability/battery life.

From browsing the dev section, I found this which I assume is what I will be using to root, 8gb or 16gb model.

If that is correct, I can't seem to find for the LIFE of me find a recovery. I assume you guys use TWRP like the Kindle, or something similar, but I don't see guides for it. Maybe the nook doesn't need it? Maybe my root guide has in included and I couldn't see that?

So is that guide correct to use? I am NOT SURE if it's a 8gb or 16gb model unfortunately. I will be home in....9 hours, and will start working on it then. Assuming it's correct is there another guide to get a recovery? Lastly, favorite/most recommended ROMs?

Thank you much for your help!

Best of luck on your adventures,

Perfect and thank you! I assume all the steps work on the 8GB as well? That's pretty neat that you can use the SD card. One issue with the kindle was the difficulty putting things onto the device using fastboot.

So CM is the best choice again it seems, as usual. I MIGHT try the paranoid 3 if it's not too risky just so I can play around with it haha. I should look into porting ROMs so I can get myself that lovely pie menu on my poor kindle.

Thanks for the links!

[HTC One X+] NasaGeek:
If you're rooted then you can use a file manager such as SolidExplorer to delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db, keep in mind that this will wipe all of your SMS and MMS messages. You can also download SMS Backup & Restore and select the Delete Messages option on the main screen.

I like all the effects and options on the stock touchwiz camera but I also like to run aosp ROMs. What are camera apps people are using on aosp? What makes them great? I really would like the app to include the ability to filter out an individual color and leave the rest black and white as in the example below:

So what does everyone suggest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sumatra385:
I beleive the stock 4.1 camera filters out colors. But you are running a different Rom so I don't know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] smalltownbird:
That is what I took the picture with. I am looking for something with all the features of the stock note 2 camera that I can use on aosp ROMs. When I search the play store there are over 1100 results and that is a lot to try...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spyderman09:
Vignette does it really well (not a free app though, but has a lot of filters, etc including color highlight)

I also use Pixlr, which has a lot of options.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
The Camera recommend is Camera FV-5. It puts all the controls at your fingertips and can even show a historgram on the screen if you wish. To remove some of the colour you could use Colour Splash. I can also recommend the following camera/retouching apps

PicsPlayPro, Snapseed, TouchRetouch -awesome with S-Pen when you know it's limitations, AfterFocus -also awesome with the S-Pen, Pixlr, LittleCamera, Aviary - great sharpness tool, HDR Pro.

For blemish removal and layering with images or text you can use SketchBookMobile.

You will have to spend some money on a few of these but it is money well spent and not an awful lot when you thin% about what you get.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
What's best for battery life, automatic brightness on ? Or set to a certain % ? Like at home if at 40%-50% that's good enough, but outside, or in bright area, hard to tell, much higher, or even auto.

Some phones do better or worse on auto brightness. Some phones can adjust quickly and actually do auto brightness very good, other phones I've had suck at adjusting the light level on auto.

What do you recommend ? And which is easier on battery life ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Try lux. It can give you the best of both.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Personally, I never put my brightness on auto. I always put it at a certain percentage up to the point where I can see the icons on my phone and such. Putting it on auto will make the phone fluctuate between low and high brightness setting according to the lighting of the environment. When I'm home, I always set my brightness level at the very lowest. Also another thing I notice is that when I'm outside I need to turn up the lighting to about 10-20 percent and I good to go. When I'm indoors, the screen is quite bright and so I just turn it back down. (You get the point.)

I don't think there are phones that perform better or worse on auto-brightness. I don't even think it has any effect on performance. Anyways, to answer your question about battery life. If you can't see the phone while you're outdoors then you need to turn it up and thus it will use more power. Personally, I suggest that you set it at a fixed percentage rather than auto.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elchemist:
Was looking into this question myself. What I was able to turn up amounts to the following.

Setting the brightness manually or through the use of the auto brightness makes no difference if its the same percentage/ brightness setting.

The difference comes down to using auto brightness will cause the cpu execute to make the setting changed according to the polled data from the light sensor. The will cause minimal additional battery drain I suspect, but the exact number I haven't been able to identify. So this is the downside. The upside is that if the brightness settings are compatible for you, its very convenient.

As for the manual, you may gain a little due to the lower cpu use. More importantly, you can tune the brightness to what you want. If the auto setting for a certain outdoor environment is too high, if the manual setting is lower that the user prefers this could also save battery. Of course the opposite is also true. Same for indoors, etc... Being manual it requires you to change it, but using certain ROMs, quick setting tile or apps make this a lot quicker.

I'm personally running Xylon + Nova Prime + Brightness widget

Set the gesture swipe up, to execute the widget

Set 0,20,45,80,auto percent brightness in the widget

Swipe up to cycle through when indoor or out, home...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
I too am running Xylon + Nova. Where do I get this brightness app ? I'll look on Play.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elchemist:
Free in the play store
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Mindroid-:
If you really need to conserve the battery I don't recommend having your screen brightness

at more than than 10%, most of the time I run at around 5%.

Asking others about their Auto Brightness experience is not very useful because a user

in Brazil will have a different result than a user in Norway.

If you charge your phone often and can read the screen at auto brightness just run it at that.

Otherwise you should always manually adjust your brightness for your own threshold of

readability.

A curious thing about LCD screens is that blacks and whites draw similar amount of power.

(As opposed to other technologies such as OLED). So ROMs with high contrast text that are

easier to read can actually help you save battery if you manually adjust brightness for readability.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSRBIKER:
I agree with using Lux, once setup and you have linked several light readings to screen brightness settings and set to dynamically adjust its great. The paid version allows you to dim the screen alot more then you can do normally and makes reading in bed very easy on your eyes.

HTC is just a small company compared to sony or samsung I doubt they have enough factories to supply different hardware per region just for the sake of this whole frequency uniqueness style.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
That's what I'm saying.

The software radio is probably set to the carrier, so they are all the same hardware but software limits which frequencies it can use

I've seen HTC do this before, once we get s-off we could flash a international radio and have a true world phone

Like I said its hopeful thinking, but with a mass rollout like this I would think they would take this route instead of making different variants

They only have to update "ONE" phone :P although a lot of carriers add bloat so that will slow down the update process.

Yeah, the motofail2go exploit to root works only if you haven't updated. After rooting, you can save root by Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, temp unroot, install any updates, then restore root with OTA rootkeeper. Works great, and you keep your warranty. But of course you can't flash any ROMs or anything, but you can still use Titanium backup, other programs that require root.
