Dirty flash a rooted stock Rom or a custom one. TW based. Do NOT wipe anything.

You also can install another launcher like Apex or Nova and set right permissions to the launcher and unfrooze in TB.

Thanks, but my S3 isn't Spirit. Does it matter?

Well, I've just uninstalled the TouchWiz app via ADB and installed a different launcher called GO or something. No more error now, but the TouchWiz app is missing in Titanium backup (the one that I frozen)... Is it possible to find the touchwiz APK somewhere else? the one that actually works.

I've never installed a custom ROM before. So, can you recommend me which one to use? I'm all for battery efficiency.

Hello i notice on the stock asus rom let you plug in your hdmi cord and give you 2 option that let you have the option to go full screen or crop. is it possible to add that script to CM10.1????
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
The options to do that have been gone since the upgrade to JB. It was available on the stock ICS rom, but was an asus custom hack and I am not sure that it would have any success on any other roms.

Ubuntu touch seems to be pretty stable by now. I wonder if anyone is planning on porting it

From the article:

Here's what the latest build of Ubuntu Touch has to offer:

The OS is stable and not prone to crashing;

Phone calls and SMS are working well;

Proximity sensor automatically blanks the screen during calls when the phone is placed by user's ear;

Messaging menu works as intended, missed calls and messages are logged and can be responded to directly from the messaging menu;

Wi-Fi is working well;

Mobile data connections (3G, etc.) are now possible but still require some work;

Power management has been improved;

Camera (and flash) work well. Photos are saved to the gallery and there's a shortcut to the gallery from the camera app.

The browser has seen some improvements;

Phone orientation detection has been added and a number of the core apps now adjust their UI accordingly;

Adding contacts is now easier; and

Most of the dummy data has been removed.

Dunno about EPRJ either... They already had it booting and lots of functionality but I haven't heard anything ever since.

If somebody volunteers to do test flashes on their HOX, I could try to make a build though

Hmmm this Ubuntu OS is starting to interest me more and more,seems verry nice so far,it still needs alot of work,but in the next years i think it will be a real alternative to Android.The only problem that Ubuntu OS will have is the same problem that Linux distro's have : the lack of apps compared with windows (or in our case Android and IOS).
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
hm i think it won't be long to port them also for the devs :P because android and ubuntu are based on the same platform (linux) so it wouldn't be sooo difficult to port...especially for the devs because they should know how to work on that...
[HTC One X] jeyml:
It's not that hard,the only problem will be for the devs to want to make an app avaible on Ubuntu OS aswell.While smaller apps will be avaible for Ubuntu OS, bigger apps like Navigon,or games from Gameloft or stuff like that,i doubt that they will made them avaible for Ubuntu aswell.

Well,I started the porting project cause i know that people out there like it and so i wanted to let them have it and taste it, nothing else, just trying to give this community the best i can do.
[HTC One X] Ideas4ya:
I think Ubuntu will take off whenever it hits the ground. I say that because its been around for a long time. Its a Linux OS (Mac OS X is a version of Linux and so is Android) and its simply a different flavor of Linux. The graphical interface has the potential to be much more powerful than android. So in my opinion, the only OS that will be coming to an end pretty soon is Windows. There is nothing special about Windows 8 and this is where Ubuntu will make its big breakthrough...in running tablets meant for Windows 8. Ubuntu can and will be the only OS that will rival apples ipad.

Jp the gui is better imo too. we are forgetting that you could actually use it as a full blown pc if you connect it to a display. That is something android is doing already but its not what it should be.
[HTC One X] Ideas4ya:
Agreed
[HTC One X] matt95:
yeah but, why you should use it as a desktop? :rolleyes: i already have a desktop running both ubuntu and windows and it has 4x the calculus power... imo it is a useless feature... but i have to say that it is great to have a terminal equal to the one in ubuntu so that you can use pretty much every single command such as nano,apt-get grep etc etc
[HTC One X] and313:
Well yes but you dont have a computer in every room of your house... When the mhl connection will become wireless (if it isnt allready) you can have a full blown computer everywhere where there is a display that supports that. Yes its not as fast as your pc but hey it is still pretty sweet. And if you think like in terms of power consoles would never have been invented either :)

Hello,

I am trying to install a custom ROM, but none are working. I install it using TWRP and it boots, but it gets stuck at the splash screen for the ROM. I've tried both ParanoidAndroid and CM10.1 and its the same with both of them. It does boot when I go back to stock though. I've tried reinstalling, I've tried using both TWRP and CWM, I've even re locked and unlocked the bootloader. If you have any idea what I can do please let me know.

[Xperia Z General] pintness:
Hi guys and gals,

got my Xperia Z today and am really disappointed with the display viewing angles. Just wanted to share a few shots with you for comparison.

(Don't hate me for the iDevice, it's a business phone, didn't have a choice :angel: )

The bad thing is: you really notice the color distortion at normal use. While looking up front, everything's fine. But tilt in any direction and you immediately see the problem. Didn't expect the 4x display to be so much better, minus the resolution. Maybe I just have caught a "bad" Xperia, but... meh. Guess I will return it and wait for the X-Phone or so. :(

I read on a german site that users are reporting a great variety in display quality, this is really a bummer on a flagship smartphone.

regards,

pint
[Xperia Z General] Al Gore:
Looks good to me.
[Xperia Z General] pongnamu:

[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
That's not even close to bad. The two others uses IPS displays and the Z does not.
[Xperia Z General] samxool:
Whats the issue, 99% of the time you will look head one, which your photo proves Sony is as good as the other phones.

[Xperia Z General] indycar:

[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
to be fair, not every one has the same expectations and preferences so if you really want good viewing angles this is not the phone for you or if you feel you miss out when other phones have better viewing angles, this is not the phone for you. in the end of the day Sony could have prevented this by using a better panel.

The screen quality looks amazing! Viewing angels are alot better than expected too.

The Sony Xperia Z looks much sleeker and has a better design compared to the other 2. The Iphone looks tiny.
[Xperia Z General] Maedhros:
Wow... Are ppl this mindless? It was proven that the screens are all the same. How can some look bad and some great? Simple. They can't.

What is happening is that some ppl are just shouting about how great the scrrn is, while ignoring a huge flaw.

I don't understand why ppl don't recognize this and speak up? Tell Sony you arent happy so they can change it in the next version.

Why are ppl settling for less?

In before people accuse me of being a troll...
[Xperia Z General] omersak:
This is sad. Why's it affecting you more than people who will and already have shelled out money for it?
[Xperia Z General] Maedhros:
Because... The better phones Sony Makes, the better for eveeyone. Simple capitalism. I have a vested interest in pointing out flaws in the device, just as I am critical of several things on otther device

Such as DDR2 Ram on the HTC one instead of DDR3. Not to mention low GL bench scores and the the camera not necessarily living up to the hype.
[Xperia Z General] omersak:
So, when the S4 is announced with exynos 5, i take it you'll focus 100% to the HTC One forms and repeatedly post about it being outdated and obsolete - right? You know, like exactly you did with the Xperia Z.
[Xperia Z General] djnino4style:
Please can you take a photo with a better camera? Thanks :D
[Xperia Z General] pintness:
Nobody looks on their smartphone in the exact same angle 99% of the time. Do you hold your smartphone straight before your eyes when you look at it? Because that's the only angle the colors are shown correct. The slightest tilt will result in distortion and this ist f*ing annoying.

I have my phone lying on the table while reading news or watching videos, imagine that. Looks ****ty.

Why would I care what kind of screen Sony uses on the XPZ, I just want an AWESOME screen. This is cleary not awesome.

Don't forget it's a 600€-phone, you should expect a high-end-display on this one.

The camera's great, I just had not-ideal settings. But given I wanted to show the color distortion, I guess the problem is pretty obvious. What do you want to see?
[Xperia Z General] DiscipleOfKane:
Yuck that is pretty bad.

I should have mine soon, guess I'll see how I get on before the return period runs out..

[Xperia Z General] pintness:
Compare the icon colours of picture 2+3 to the colors on picture 1. Obvious.

Since there are no colours on picture 4, take a look at the software button bar and compare the lightness to that on on picture 1. Pretty much different, I don't think it looks too great.

edit: also compare the software button bar on pic 2+3 to pic 1, it's almost as "nice" as the display on my Archos A70.

The Z screen was really bad viewing angle.

Don't ignore it was bad because you own it and love Sony, with such attitude Sony forever won't change to better screen as their fans don't care.
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I think the reverse is true some people are shooting how bad the screen is while this is false. It's far more natural in color reproduction than the one x and s3 some people just like unnatural colors that is fine of course but it is just strange to see so much lovers of unnatural colors come here and complain. I'm not going to the s3 and one x forums wining about the screen quality of these devices complaining that photos don't look the way the should, that skin colors are unnatural, that whites are all most green in case of Amoled and that you get eyestrain unless you set the brightness to an absolute minimum in case of the one x. That you can see **** in the sun when using the s3. That the plastic case is losing its finish. That sense and TouchWiz totally suck. That beats audio is changing the music in such a way that it is a crime. That the camera of both phones completely suck with overblown highlights and wrong color reproduction. Etc etc

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Yes the viewing angles aren't the best but they are good enough if you don't think so buy a different device. Free market ftw!

And stop buying Samsung other wise they will keep making cheep plastic device with unrealistic colors
