[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand1001:
I run AOKP on my nexus 7 so it doesn't effect me. But people that don't know about rooting or defectors from iOS will think this thing is laggy because it has chrome when on the aosp browser is butter smooth. That's why it should have shipped with it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
I'm sorry but how do I flash aosp browser without being rooted? That is the main reason I rooted my n4..couldn't live with chrome and no 3rd browser touched the performance of aosp browser

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaanJordaan:
Sure, but that is something that we are able to do.

A lot of users will never do that because they don't know how and/or don't wan't to get into it.

So they will be stuck with a crappy stock (as in what their device shipped with) browser until Google updates.

It seems weird that you buy a Google device, use the Google browser, and then have a bad user experience.

It's running pretty well on my N4 also becasue autozooming and stuff is okay on a small device.

Still a horrible experience on the N7 though.

I was shopping for a screen protector when the price for the Minisuit Black TPU case dropped to 3.55 with free prime shipping it was 10.95 earlier today. I'll probably be going with a sleeve for my nexus but it's good to have around for that price.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jay slasher:
Bought one of these on Ebay for about $5 shipped. Its a great TPU skin.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Jadefalkon:
Yeah I received it today along with the two moko cases I ordered. All the are nice but I think I'm going with the TPU case as my main case, I just love the slender feel and it has the soft touch just like the Nexus. Now I just need to find a sleeve that can hold the Nexus with the TPU on it.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] BamAlmighty:
Great case. I liked it so much I ordered a second one.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jim_cureton:
I like it also but one problem.

I just received my Minisuit TPU from Amazon. I think it is the best TPU case for Nexus 10 except for one problem. The plastic shielding on the USB cable bumps into the bottom edge of the shiny front-facing lip part of the case. It is a very slender portion and cannot be trimmed. My solution so far has been to push the TPU case portion away from the USB port opening which allows the connector to insert fully.

Other than this problem, I think I have found my final case solution.

Can others confirm their Minisuit TPU cases suffer from this same problem, or maybe I just need to order another?

Jim
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Jadefalkon:
Yes, the area around the usb port is little tight on the top on mine also, I'll probably just file a little of the case material away. Unfortunately I probably wont be using the two Moko cases I ordered, the ultra slim fits to tight and has shape molded corners that I can see scratching away the rubber coating of the nexus. The slim case handle has already left blemishes on the armorsuit screen protect from rubbing it while closed.

Please note that this guide was written with information from the below threads, with the intention of making it easier for people to find the necessary information, and unlock their devices. So if you follow this guide, be sure to go and thank their posts:

Why follow this guide?

If your device is locked and you have no unlock attempts left, along with the message 'Network unlock PIN number is entered incorrectly. Contact your Service Provider', then this guide will unlock your device. You can also use this method, if you are too stingy to purchase an unlock / defreeze code for your device.

What to consider before following this guide.

This unlock method basically removes the IMEI number from your device. I have however followed this procedure on 10+ devices without any issues, just be sure to follow the part of the guide where you backup the files.

DISCLAIMER: Proceed with the below instructions at your own risk, I take no responsibility for bricked devices etc.

Prerequisites

1. Download and install Odin3 v1.85

2. Download Samsung USB drivers from here or install Samsung Kies, to install them.

Step 1 - Flashing Rooted Rogers ROM

1. Download the Rooted Rogers ROM (You may need to use Google Translate)

2. Unzip the .tar.bz2 file, you will be using the .tar file inside

3. Put your device into download mode (Turn it off, hold down VOLUME UP + POWER until a warning screen comes up, press VOLUME UP to continue), connect it to your computer

4. Open Odin, click on PDA, navigate to the .tar file (SGH-I927RUXKJ5_STOCK_ROOTED.tar), do not touch anything else, click Start. If the ID:COM field is not yellow, you have a driver issue.

5. Wait until your device finishes flashing and reboots. You will need to download Superuser from the Play Store. If the Superuser app won't open, factory reset the device, then install it again.

Step 2 - Unlocking the Device

1. Download ES File Explorer from the Play Store

2. Go to 'Settings > File Settings', tick 'Show Hidden Files'

3. Go to 'Settings > Root settings', tick 'Root Explorer', click yes on the warning screen, allow the Superuser request

4. Click on 'Home Directory' in the Settings menu and change it to '/'

5. Navigate to /efs/ in the file manager

6. Move the below files to a backup folder on your device (e.g. /mnt/sdcard/BACKUP)

.nv_core.bak

.nv_core.bak.md5

.nv_data.bak

.nv_data.bak.md5

nv_data.bin

7. It would be a smart idea to copy the backup folder somewhere safe on your computer, so that it is not lost when you factory reset the device etc.

8. Reboot your device, it will now be unlocked, though will have a generic IMEI number. This hasn't been an issue for me, with the device connecting to Australian mobile networks. You should now have an unlocked device!

There's your problem. Aosp (for this phone, not sure about other phones) doesn't work with 2wire. My friend has a 2wire and my hox never connects (if I'm on cm). I thought my phone was messed up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Olympus:

Even I was thinking the same till now that my fone was messed up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
I'm not sure if there is a solution, your best bet would be to ask h8rift or rohan32, they are 2 of the aosp Devs, they might know a fix

The problem itself may be the router, maybe a lack of open source drivers or modules and not so much the ROMs themselves

Mines newer, that's why I asked what his looked like. I have the sleek black one, the grey one used to give me hell with my xbox, one of my laptops, and would drop signal randomly throughout the day. Just all around not very reliable. New one solved everything.

I hadn't been rooted or anything before we got the new one installed so I don't really know if I would of had the OPs problem on the old one

Unfortunately no, I wasn't rooted before the U-Verse guy came and gave us the new router. We did get it for free after complaining to ATT about shoddy/unreliable wifi though, maybe see if you can get a new one. That grey one was just bad all around, it fought with me connecting on all of my devices

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] SeanyC:
I use Hullomail. You can also set individual voicemail messages for each contact. I rather like it and the less tech savvy amongst friends and family are amazed they get a personalised message when they end up going through to voicemail.

It will also alert you to missed calls that you may have had when you had no signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p2kmafia:
So I'm the social chair of my fraternity and I constantly send mass texts to people and since getting this phone have not been able to send group chats with go sms or handcent, only stock but with stock I have to input each individually so why do that right?

Here's a temporary workaround (if there's a better way PLEASE tell me):

1) open sms app of choice

2) start a new message to the group of people

- if it's a group of 20+ you'll have to split this into 20 people at a time (ya it sucks but you have to do it)

3) type something into the message field but do not send it

4) press back to save it to drafts

5) switch to stock message app and you should see the draft

6) open the draft and delete the text you previously typed

7) insert your picture, text, or both and click send

8) should send without a hassle

If there's another way or something I'm doing wrong that can take the hassle out of this please tell me other than that this should help for you.

also, I'm running Carbon 1.4 on Franco Kernel

Re: A Governor a Day

Sounds legit man good luck can't wait to see results.

What is your usage like? How much screen on time are you looking to get?

I'd like to see android tuner used to set governors it also has a nice battery stats portion of the app.
[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
Re: A Governor a Day

I usually have between 1.5 to 2 hours of screen-on time. If I do a lot of document editing away from home it might be closer to 2.5, but that's on the long side for me.

When I used Android Tuner within Ecliptic, I wasn't really fond of its interface. But I'll take a look again, at the least I could use the battery stats from it. :)

Edit: Spent about 15 minutes digging through the settings in the free version of Android Tuner. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of the battery and statistic recording is only on the paid version of the app, or else takes up almost double the resources of GSam and SystemPanel together. Plus I really don't feel like paying $10 for an app I don't like. But take a look at everything when I post in the OP later, hopefully most if not all of the data you're looking for will be in there from either GSam or SystemPanel.

Sent from my Infected Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
I ran the Wheatley governor today, CPU Min at 192 MHz and max at 1350. I undervolted another -50mV from standard Infected, so it's 100mV below stock. The second CPU core was disabled unless needed, and was running the OnDemand governor.

The phone spent as much time at 1350Mhz as it spent with the screen on, at about 2 hours 15 minutes. Total time before I plugged the phone in to upload screenshots was at 16 hours 20 minutes, with about 27% battery left (That Battery Stats screenshot was taken after I had it plugged in for a couple minutes, sorry). According to GSam, the screen took about 49% power, apps took about 45%, and Wifi/Radios took about 5.6% together.

The biggest battery hogging app was Apex Launcher by a long shot, at 17%. :eek:

Most of the stats you can see just by looking through the screenshots, I had to upload them to dropbox because they're too large to include in the post and XDA attachments downsizes them far too much.

If you have any other questions or want to see additional stats that I didn't include, feel free to ask in this thread (link in my signature). I'll be doing this sort of thing daily with different governors as a sort of real-world experiment, so if you have any suggestions please let me know. Suggestions on everything from how I should set the kernel or governor up, to applications I should use to track usage, everything is welcome. :)

[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
Yesterday when I was running Wheatley, I took some screenshots when the battery hit 50%, but I didn't end up using them in the final post. Now that I'm on DanceDance today, I did the same thing to see if there were differences. I didn't expect many, because lots of people say that these two governors are very similar.

DanceDance at 50%

Wheatley at 50%

I must say, I was surprised. So far I'm getting about an hour less battery life than yesterday. The differences in screen on time are minimal, about seven minutes, but the screen is using about 2 percent more power on DanceDance. Applications are also using more power, by about 3%. Somehow this is all adding up to about an hour less battery... which might be considerable to some.
[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
Man.. I'm talking to myself here. Oh well. At least I'm good company! :highfive:

Alright, DanceDance. I'll link the screenshots, and then do my writeup.

DanceDance 1

DanceDance 2

DanceDance 3

Right off the bat, according to CPU Spy the phone spent a little more time at various intermediate clocks than in Wheatley. However, this may have been due to the fact that when on Wheatley I had CPU1 set to OnDemand and not Wheatley like CPU0 was. Thanks for the catch, brenuga;

I'll have to come back to Wheatley on both CPUs sometime soon.

Moving on to GSam. Phone Radio, Screen on, Wifi, and Wake time all look pretty similar if you compare them to the Wheatley screenshots; everything was within about 30 minutes of each other, which makes sense because I took the DanceDance screenshots 30 minutes earlier in the evening than the Wheatley ones. However, in Wheatley, the screen used more power than the apps, while in DanceDance the apps were using slightly more power than the screen. I'm not sure if this was due to my usage or not...

App usage were largely the same as well.

SystemPanel offers a bit more insight. The Battery and Device Usage plots on Wheatley and DanceDance were very close to each other, sharing the same shape and general line. However the lowest graph (which has its label cut off, sorry. It's CPU Usage!) tells a different story. Wheatley appears to have a significantly lower CPU Usage average, at times appearing to be by as much as ~20%.

These two governors are very very similar, as you'll read time and time again in these forums. But sometimes it's not about stats... sometimes it's about how your device feels. That's where DanceDance really wins in this comparison. To me, it feels a fair bit smoother and more fluid -- more Buttery, I suppose. :p This does come at a cost though; while your screen is on, you can practically watch the battery meter drop. It's a lot more exciting than watching paint dry... fair bit of action here haha. Wheatley didn't seem to have the same kind of battery drop while using applications as DanceDance did. However it seemed to make up for it, with CPU Usage appearing to fall to lower thresholds than in Wheatley at one or two points.

TL;DR: DanceDance felt a little better from a smoothness standpoint, while Wheatley seemed to be a bit better at conserving battery with screen on. I think that they're so close though that DanceDance is the better choice. Who doesn't like smooth?

Halfway through Intellidemand day, and I'll compare it with DanceDance because that's the most recent one.

Intellidemand at 50%

DanceDance at 50%

Through the day I've noticed battery life is considerably worse than either DanceDance or Wheatley. DanceDance took almost 1.5 hours longer to drain to 50%. The screen is taking about 11% more power than in DanceDance, even though it's been on for 15 minutes less. I'm fairly sure my brightness settings have been about the same (Auto in daylight, set level around 20% indoors).

Full write up will come tonight. :)

[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
Alright, thanks. :) I'll have to give your kernel and iHate's Deluxe a try when I finish up with the governors in Snuzzo's,

Without further ado, here's Intellidemand as requested. :) [Now with BetterBatteryStats!]

Intellidemand End 1

Intellidemand End 2

Intellidemand End 3

The governor seemed to be decent at scaling, keeping the CPU spread out more than either DanceDance or Wheatley. Still between one and five minutes spent at the more popular clocks, with the majority of the time logged at 1350, 192, and Deep Sleep as usual. Nothing major to report here, pretty standard for what I've seen so far.

GSam has something different to say. For one, battery life seemed strained. There was considerably more usage at idle or deep sleep than either DanceDance or Wheatley. I watched a movie at one point this evening, and when I checked my phone again it had dropped 6% over 2.5 hours, without touching it once. It also ramped up quickly while browsing, I think in the time it took me to make a 2 sentence post the battery dropped 6 or 7%. That didn't happen with the others. The battery discharge graph is pretty steep, which makes sense given the increased discharge.

Also, app usage seemed abnormally high. I checked on that and found that the Android OS/Kernel was using a LOT of power: 65%. Yesterday on DanceDance it was using 6%... there's something weird here.

If someone running Intellidemand (Squirrel1620?) could run GSam for a day and see if this happens to you, that would be great. I'd like to see if this is a random event or something consistent with the governor.

SystemPanel reports similar findings under "System Processes" with 43% of my total CPU usage. But quite frankly, other than that there's nothing really weird going on. No wakelocks, no apps freezing... it just seems like the OS wasn't idle for some reason.

My verdict:

Not a governor for idle users, partly because it's based off the GPU. If you do gaming or use apps that require a bit more graphical power, then by all means go for it. But for users like me, who text, browse the web a bit, and do some forum work, this governor has very little to offer except minimal noticed lag.

Tomorrow [Saturday] I'll do OnDemand, and Sunday I'll pick another kernel to flash so I can do Lionheart on Monday. :)
