[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quigley:
Hi, I'm still using a HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) with android using XDAndroid. Recently I used an EXT3 build from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831330

I really like it but for Topaz the hardware key mapping is all wrong. Specifically, the home button makes the device go to sleep. And with long press of the home button I do not get the recent apps list, but the shutdown menu.

I looked in /system/usr/keylayout and tried to make changes in the .kl files, but they get overridden at each boot! I guess XDAndroid does this, or is it normal for Android to override these files???

If it's the latter I guess I need some XDAndroid people who can point me in the right direction...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmce01:
I'm currently on AOKP JB-MR1 Build 5. Is there a way to switch to a different ROM, like synergy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewk7750:
How'd you get aokp on your gs3 in the 1st place?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Psychotacon:
Perhaps you could try...

Major first question before the answer:

What recovery are you using? Clockwork Mod, or TWRP?

I'm not personally familiar with that ROM, however, since I've gotten my I535 S3, I've gone through about five or six ROMs.

I suggest you don't do this yet, BUT this is what I've done to switch between ROMs. It's smooth and painless once you get the foundation setup:

Firstly, AFTER you root and setup CWM or TWRP:

- Go into your recovery menu and choose the option that performs a backup to external card.

- Find which ROMs you think you might like to use and compare, I recommend getting two or three to start, download the .zip files to your EXTERNAL sd card (you can't flash a ROM when it's on the internal memory since the internal memory usually gets wiped when flashing)

- Go back into your recovery menu and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. That order seems to be the most common, but I've seen people do it every which way. Theoretically you should do it in this order, since you are sort of sweeping the floor to clean it for a new carpet. I'm sure that's a brash way of describing the process and no doubt someone may correct me, but that's the main idea. Data = the bulk of the dirt on the floor, get rid of that and clean up the little stuff = the cache, and the remainder to make the floor sparkle = dalvik cache, which in effect optimizes app access times, from what I've read.

- Using your recovery menu, navigate to whatever option resembles installing from zip, and choose install from external card. These options may very depending on the version of recovery. Here you should see a file browser which you can go through and choose the directory on your external card to which you've downloaded the ROMs too. Just choose whatever one and bam. You may need to choose some options before installation, if the ROM uses an Aroma installer. If you don't know what you're doing, just choose default (the first) options.

PLEASE, someone let me know if there's anything I've missed or stated incorrectly..after a few years of rooting and ROM experience, this is my complete knowledge, and I've never had a problem. Bricked a few times because of experimentation, but always was able to recover :fingers-crossed:

Best of wishes - let us know what happens and DON'T hesitate to ask before you do anything. No sense it rushing and ruining your phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmce01:
I used Odin. Is that too vague? I also used Clockwork Mod.

I already seen that thread and not many options for 64Gb version. :(
[One (M7) General] WA_Bob:
Given the documented production issues HTC is having right now ( http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-one-availability-issues-167070/ ), you may not see many 64GB unlocked versions of the One for a bit. I'm guessing they'll save those for carriers at first and wait until the parts supply problems are fixed to open up the floodgates. So unfortunately, it may be a month or two before they're be readily available. :(

Hi,

Not to sure if this is the correct place to post this. If not, mods. please move.

Are there any apps where I can pull the wifi connection I have on my phone to browse the web on my computer?

For example, Gogo Inflight (airborn wifi for frequent flyers), charge 6-8 bucks for mobile phones, but double that for laptops.

Anyways for us to have an app where i can buy the mobile phone service and connect my mobile phone to Gogo using the phone wifi. But, somehow also allow my computer to connect to the phone using USB.

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
I looked around for a Paranoid Android catch-all or general forum and I only seem to find the threads for specific devices.

Since I'm debating whether to install PA3.1 on my N7, I thought this should be a good place to start as any.

I apologize if this thread clutters the General discussion thread.

So after watching this video of how PA3 performs on the Nexus 10;

[YOUTUBE]EDZ1WAwXvbE[/YOUTUBE]

I was really eager to install PA on my Nexus 7. Then I saw this video

[YOUTUBE]esfB44BtwyU[/YOUTUBE]

and decided I could really use the collective XDA knowledge to make a more informed decision.

so here's a battery of questions.I know how entitled if sounds, but I would really appreciate any input about these questions.

Full tablet UI. I don't like the Nexus 7 stock UI in landscape with the icons on the side. I would much rather have the icons on the bottom, like the Nexus10 UI has them. Will one of the PA3.1 UI's modes enable this?

I'll pass on pie. I know it's optional, which is good because I don't really think I'll be comfortable. Actually, I've seen some videos and everybody is using the notifications on the bottom. Is this optional? I would really like to have both pull down menus remain at the top.

How's the battery life? the threads seems to praise the m-kernel in general, but I'm curious about the franco kernel and if there's any benefit over the m-kernel while on PA3.1.

Actual performance. Nexus10 with PA3.0 is blazing fast. The pinch-zoom action in the video had me drooling. Then I saw the videos of the Nexus 7 and notice it's not as fast.I know we're talking about completely different hardware, but I wanted to get a consensus. Does going from stock ROM to PA3.1 on the Nexus 7 improve performance? Apps, battery, wifi, animation smoothness, etc.

Latest "stable" version. I see that the PA3.1 thread for N7 has the "Nightly" term in the title. I'm happy to help with the Q&A process, but I would like to know on which PA3.1 version I can fall back on (even 3.0, should that be the case). Any recommendations?

again, sorry for the handholding, but I appreciate any and all input.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
Yes, the icons will remain on bottom if that is the ui you choose. It is indeed solod and fast using m-kernel. As far as franco kernel, that is something youll have to test. You can get a consensus, but different people use different options. Your experience may vary. The answer you will get repeatedly is "flash it and try it out", because that is the right answer. Nandroid in twrp or cwm, and load pa and test. Personally, I use multirom because i can test all the roms without losing my functional rom.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
Thanks.

Have you used PA? Can I put the menus at the top?

What about icon the app drawer app? Can that be repositioned to the bottom?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Hi Mate,

PA on the Nexus is the only ROM I've used for the last 4/5 months? (Its consistantly AMAZING) I've used it since PA 2.54 and its consistently updated and improving.

I too don't use the Pie, I keep the Stock UI (but this isn't the option you want, I never you landscape see)

I've never tried Franco but I've used Faux and M-Kernel.

Whilst Faux and PA is THE BUTTERIEST combo I've ever tried, I got bored and wanted to try elsewhere.

So I tried M-Kernel, I can say the M-Kernel just doesn't have that uber (sorry for that couldn't think of another word haha) smooth feeling, Faux is a god at kernels.

HOWEVER - Faux used to drain 1.4% an hour on standby, M-Kernel uses only 0.7/0.8%. So make your choice, M-Kernel, for great battery and good smoothness, or Faux with GREAT smoothness but a little less easy on the battery. However both kernels and PA make the Nexus 7 into a completely new device.

Hope this helps :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre118:
Is this where you are talking about? :
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaclimon:
1. Yeah you can use the tablet ui like the n10 one and you can have the icons to the bottom (you just need to customize)

2. For the battery life, the Franco kernel is the one praised for its battery life. You can check the kernel comparison thread (I know it's 4.2.1). So far on a 6-8 hours standby, I lose 1-3%. Performance wise : buttery smooth. (nuff said :p)

3. As for stable version, I think the 3.0 stable is the one from early February but the nightlies are working no problem (just need to flash the bluetooth fix but it's no big deal.)

Hope it helps. :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0l1v3rof:

I find that even though it looks nice... It's extremly slow for me
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] straxusii:
I'm finding the stock browser is unuseable on this rom after a few hours, constantly freezes. Anyone else getting this?

(I tried clearing cache and all browser data)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
thanks to all for the comments.

I'm doing a NAND backup right now and proceeding to flash in a few minutes (man this backup takes forever).

I'll try M-kernel, since my top priority is battery life.

Quick follow re. kernels;

can I switch kernes on the fly, ie; can I keep them both on root system and then proceed to overwrite kernels between reboots?

I can't imagine a situation where I would need additional buttery smoothness on demand, but it's always nice to have the options.

Are there any precautions I should take in terms of kernel co-existence? ie, any GAPPS I should flash, version of roms that dont play nice?

@Pierre118;

thanks for the screencap, that's almost what my dream desktop; I want the N10 landscape view,

. the controls in the middle, the pulldown menus at the top. (again, no plans on using PIE, at least not until I actually get a chance to test it).

last but no least, I'm following the instructions and a few youtube videos; the file to download seems a bit light to me; only 157MB. Is this correct? Is this the only file I need (ROM) plus the GAPPS, which are another 147MB.? seems awfully small...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travisjustin:
You can indeed flash kernels on the fly. Just wipe cache/dalvik. Yes, those are about right for file sizes. Bare minimum would be the ROM and gapps for whatever version of android. Then for kernel, its a good idea to flash ROM and gapps then do a boot before flashing a third party kernel.

The most current nightly of pa is really good and has Bluetooth working without a patch.

Edit: FYI you'll need an app like trickster mod to adjust kernel settings. If you go with mkernel start by setting up with metalice's recommended settings, good battery life and performance. Then adjust from there after you get comfortable.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterJ87:
You can keep multiple kernels in the root folder, but I wouldn't recommend you changing kernels frequently. Find one you like and stick with it. Kernel performance improves with stability i.e., multiple charge cycles. Constantly changing kernels won't get you the best performance.

And stock ROMS are light. Compared to the Sense ROM I'm using on my One X (almost 500MB), you can see how heavy skinned versions of Android really are. And that's a trimmed down Sense ROM. Can you imagine how heavy the original skin was before it was trimmed??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
Installed and loving it!!!

I'll try it out for a couple days before poking around the different kernels.

So I can't seem to find the way to get my screen to look like yours.

Do I need a launcher that will allow the app drawer at the bottom rather than the side?

I won't mind giving Nova Launcher or Apex another go.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travisjustin:
Try phablet (700p on system ui)... Third party launchers are great though. I use apex and would never go back to stock now lol

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
I looked up the options, the screen cap I shared is my current screen at 600p.

I see these options:

Under workspace, there's only phone (360p), phablet (600p) and tablet (1000p); I'm assuming you meant 600p.

I tried using 1000p, but it sends the menus to the bottom, and the drawer remains on the side.

Back when I was Stock 4.2.2 ROM I used Apex + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotateUltimate Rotation Tool.

One of the main reasons I wanted to try PA was to get the same layout without the extra software.

Is this possible?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travisjustin:
I was able to replicate what you want using apex. Not sure if it can be done on stock launcher as I've been using apex since day one of owning my n7. It's not my normal layout so not set up right, hence why it looks odd, just showing that I did get it that way.View attachment 1821603

This is in phablet mode (some apps it's 700p, system is apparently 600, sorry :) )

Edit: I had to adjust launcher settings to do this, not just put it in phablet mode, again don't know much of the stock launcher, check its settings to see if you can adjust them to do this. I still will always suggest apex or Nova, stock launcher sucks ;)

Go with Nova Launcher Prime, I'd say.

As for Paranoid Android, I love it. I've been running it with the Faux Ultimate Kernel and it is insanely good.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
I already owned Nova Launcher from a Google Play sale months before. I finally went with it and haven't looked back.

I'm really loving PA.

Regarding kernels, I understand now that kernels improve with use. Should I be rebooting frequently at the beginning?

Has anyone had the impression that the kernel is great and then not so much?

I almost got 12 hours of use (actual screen time) after the first few days. Now I'm getting between 8 and 10 hours at most.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
what's the default kernel that comes with PA 3.0?

I don't know much about kernels, but I'm eager to give m-kernel a try after I flash 3.15.

I wanted to know a bit more about kernel and thought I'd keep using this thread and keep the development PA thread as spam free as I can;

what is the default kernel I get when flashing PA 3.0 or 3.15? Is the kernel part of the ROM? is it ever with other ROMs?

how can I tell from system settings (or other system-reading apps) what kernel my N7 is currently using?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travisjustin:
Pa uses a stock aosp kernel I believe. You can see what kernel you have under system >about

Sent from my P.A.C. Man ONE S
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterJ87:
Some ROMs use default JB kernel, some use a tweaked version, and some include custom kernels from the beginning. Like My One X running ICJ uses NCX kernel by default. It will be mentioned in the OP/changelog if a ROM is using a custom kernel.

Two ways you can see the kernel currently on your device:

As mentioned above, go to settings > about and see under kernel version

Or if you are using Trickster Mod, it displays your kernel in the app as well.

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if it's possible to make google's official youtube app to play every video in Non-HD mode on my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (origianal)? Samsung released a crappy ICS update so video playback is horribly laggy especially HD ones, so I want to watch youtube videos in non-HD, but I have to keep pressing the video window, then tap the 'HD' icon and it reloads the video....and it just takes too long.

my tab is rooted, so I am willing to install a modded app IF it's available, but is there any way to set non-HD resolution as default?

Thanks!

solution!!!

I don't know you already fix this problem or not.

I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.

Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.

Before I found this, I tried several things;

1. restarted my phone

2. pulled out battery and put back

3. killed the process from task manager

4. removed FB account

5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again

Non of these helped me ever!!!

Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)

I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.

Anyway, good luck!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yeardley:
Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.
