I saw a similar topic in the atrix section and it looks very useful, so I searched the pico forum but found nothing. Therefore I created this. Feel free to post your CM10 based rom battery life.

This is more for trouble shooting and sharing tips and tricks to extend the CM10 battery life. Also post some screenshots to show us your battery life, one of tour screen on time and one for your overall usage
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] russelldias:
What's the point of this thread
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Not a bad idea.. I'll bump start this one with my crazy battery chart(wait until pic loads. ). Enjoy :D

Would be better in this format

ROM:CM10B6

APPS:300+ all autostarts disabled

No battery saving apps

INTERNET: 2G Always on

Good bye. :)

I have tried to google this over and over again with no luck. I am having problems with hooking up my HDMI cable to my TVs. I have it hooked to a cheap COBY TV right now and the edges are cut off it. I can't find anything in settings (TV or Tablet) or any apps that will take care of my problem. This has got to be frustrating more people than me? Is there anybody that has found a solution for this?
[Acer Iconia A500] Spikelangelo:
I would check the zoom/wide/screen settings on the TV (often it's a button on the remote but also can be found in the screen menu settings.) It's common for this button to mess with what gets cut off the screen. My dad's walmart special TV toggles between wide, full, cinema and zoom; all of which cut off different parts of the screen. Also check out any aspect ratio buttons or options.

There seems to be something called oversan that i have yet to research.

I have been investigating and other tablets with tegra two under gingerbread had this problem too, but they could change the amount of pixels sent to the tv by running some commands in terminal. I have tried them with no avail but maybe someone can make something usefull from them:

You can probably use it to replace the icons that you want in the SecLauncher2.apk
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2xmrc00l:
Sorry but where can I found SecLauncher.apk?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
It'll be in your /system/app/ directory on your phone.

Thx bro! Just one more thing. Where is the files in SecLauncher.apk I neet to change?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Ah hang on. What icons are you changing? Is it the app icons? If so you need to change the icon for each apk, so a directory would need to be made for each apk, most likely leading to res/drawables-xhdpi and all similar directory
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2xmrc00l:
I whant to change the tw icons so they look like in Xperia Z
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
If you use the the villain theme zip you need to find where each apps icon is. So you will need to make a directory eg SecLauncher.apk/res/xhdpi and place the icon you want to replace in the right folder. Or else manually do each individually.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr

Make a 1x1 widget using it, you can choose the icon for the widget and which app you want it to launch, so icons on your home screen can be customised.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mas11:
So I replaced my RAZR Maxx's homescreen with the RAZR M one and I forgot to back it up. I have the stock files but the homescreen says it's .odex instead of an apk. Any help would be much appreciated because I don't feel like waiting for the fastboot files.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bimmerod:
homescreen.apk

mas11-

Here is the original file from before the update.

For some reason I am unable to install this file and replace the RAZR M Homescreen.apk file. Whenever I try to do this I get the message "Install Failed"

Just curious what is the method to go back to the stock homescreen and remove the Circles theme so I can update the phone ???

Anybody have any ideas ?

Bimmerod

:cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shobon:
Use a root file explorer to move the apk to /system/app, simply installing it won't fix anything.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bimmerod:
Files Moved

I have even deleted the M homescreen.apk file and replaced it with the original file and then rebooted only to discover the phone stuck at the red eye and will not boot up. Then I have to wipe the data and start with a fresh phone which fails towards the end of the initial setup process. I am only able to do anything on the phone because the Play Store shows me updates are available for programs I have downloaded before.

Once I'm in the Play Store I can download ES File Explorer and then delete the original homescreen.apk file and replace it with the M homescreen.apk file and everything works perfectly.

Not sure how to go back to the stock launcher ???

I can however install the original Homeconfig.apk file without any problems.

Not sure what I am missing here ???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dano1282:
Ive encountered the same issue... but now my stock system doesn't reboot at all.. I hear the stock animation running but I get nothing.. my safesystem however works fine..and I can boot to my Eclipse Rom.. dunno what to do from here. lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bimmerod:
Hmmmm

It doesn't make any sense. It was my first time playing with a homescreen.apk file but I was under the impression that you could go back to the other one very easily. Guess that's not the case here.

I also deleted all the files installed for the RAZR M homescreen.

I even deleted all of the other .apk's first - Circles, Weather and removed the lib files and still no go.

Not sure what to do from here ???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Did you make sure the permissions matched?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mingkee:
I don't take any credit, but I only collect information and make a guide.

Since Xperia Ion is cheap on Ebay, it becomes the cheapest LTE phone for T-Mobile.

If you have no problem with PCS HSPA, don't worry about it but just make sure it is unlocked.

However, if you encounter spotty PCS HSPA but AWS HSPA works well, here is the guide how to enable AWS HSPA.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752345

This thread you can get all you need and all credit goes to the OP.

Here are the steps:

1. Collect all required software (Sony Update Service for flashing http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/ ), LT28i ROM (get .29 if you want root and you can use special trick to update to .3.7E with root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2055043 ), Flashtool http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

2. Backup your data on your phone (ignore it if it's new). ALL INTERNAL DATA WILL BE ERASED DURING FLASHING PROCEDURE!!!

3. Install Sony Update Service for required drivers.

4. Unpack the ROM (if any) and install Flashtool, put the ROM (.ftf file) to \flashtool\firmware folder. This can speed up the process.

5. Check your phone's battery. Charge it if it's fewer than 70% to avoid failure caused by dead battery.

6. Prepare microUSB cable (you can check whether it is data capable to see whether MTP exists or not while connected to host computer).

7. Turn off the phone and disconnect USB cable

8. Run Flashtool as administrator. You should be able to see the ROM right away if you do step #4 correctly. You can exclude everything other than baseband (you don't have to wipe data if you just flash baseband), but if you want to debrand, you have to wipe all data and you have to exclude NOTHING. And proceed.

9. Press volume down when you connect to host computer when you're prompted. When the phone shows green light, just release the button, but if you see "install drivers", you have to hold on until "your device is ready to use" shown up. After that, flash starts.

10. It will take few minutes depends on how do you flash. Disconnect the cable after flashing has finished.

11. After the after-flashing setup, dial *#*#7378423#*#* to verify UMTS_BC4 exists, if so, you got AWS HSPA.

If you don't have LTE in your area, you have to disable to conserve the battery (non-branding ROM only).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
so this is another guide for flashing just the lt28i baseband on to a lt28at to make available all lt28i frequency bands?

and its posted in the development section? and all you did was copy the instructions from the link you gave?

and you never mention that the unlock needed is sim unlock for the lt28at to access all the bands.

Please use the search feature before posting. This topic has been covered already.

And search twice next time you want to post a duplicate thread in the development section.

Thanks for you understanding

Thanks, I already tried a cache wipe and also removing the application data. Same problem.

There was an update to the app last week, but the problem remains. I'm almost resorting to flashing a different country ROM.

It really looks like Samsung put out a defective firmware with a missing class (!!!)

Try to wipe data

this is XXXDDDAAA
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docca:
Already tried that with the same results.

I found it odd that the class appeared to be a part of the system, and indeed it was. It's part of the main API, so something was definitely corrupted.

I managed to get it sorted out: I flashed the same ROM again, and the problem went away.

Thanks for the help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monoclypsus:
I recently took the ota update to 4.1.2 mb1 and lost root. My question is can I use odin to flash [ROM|Stock Rooted] 3/3/13 Sprint Touchwiz Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (L710VPBMB1) Odex/DeOdex? And If so do I use the full ROM odex? And Do I have to flash anything besides the ROM? Or can I keep everything else stock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Hey there buddy, welcome to XDA (I see this is your second post).

Anyways, do you still have a custom recovery? I'm assuming you don't, since it sounds like you went all the way back to stock unrooted in order o get the update (in the future, Freeza typically has the update for Root users a week or so after the OTA release, so no need to go back to stock unrooted).

Anyways, back to your current situation. Since you most-likely have the stock recovery, you'll have to go back to being rooted with either CWM or TWRP (I prefer TWRP, but they're both good). I personally use mskip's toolkit, it's fairly straightforward. You could also follow qbking77's rooting method. He does a good job explaining how to root. Samsung hasn't locked their bootloader and don't try to in their updates, so these rooting methods stand the test of time (and updates).

Once you have a custom recovery installed (or if you already have one installed), FIRST THING to do is perform a nandroid backup. THIS IS KEY. Once you have one done, go ahead and flash Freeza's Stock Rooted ROM. I'd recommend doing a clean flash, as it's the best way to minimize the chances of errors and bugs. Just wipe system and cache and dalvik cache, and then flash the downloaded ROM. And speaking of downloading, be sure to check the md5 sum of the download before you flash. Most problems with the stable ROMs here on XDA stem from bad downloads.

You can also check out other ROMs. I won't go too crazy on advertising here, but scroll through these two sub-forums, Android Development and Original Android Development. I've enjoyed most ROMs I've tried.

Hope this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monoclypsus:
ok

Ok, just out of curiousity... Before I took the OTA i was rooted 4.1.1 stock with stock recovery. Is there any way to do it the same? The method I used before was this [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter [SPR L710VPBLJ7] JB 4.1.1. It was super quick and easy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Yeah, that same method should work. I personally like the custom recoveries, but understand your desires to leave it at stock recovery (not triggering the flash counter).

Like I mentioned before, Samsung hasn't (and most likely won't) locked their bootloaders, so any rooting method that has worked in the past should work in the future. Just make sure to read the last 3-4 pages of the thread for whatever method you're trying to use to see if there are any issues. I know an earlier version of mskip's toolkit was having issues with JB for a little bit (it's updated now).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monoclypsus:
Well I'm gonna give it a shot. Ill let you know how it turns out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monoclypsus:
Just went with cf autoroot. Worked fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jkj:
I've got a problem I installed the OTA and now I cant boot into android. Its stuck on starting apps. I have the stock recovery. How can I fix this?. What do I do? I can get to ODIN download mode. *edit** can get into safemode too. And I now have a custom recovery installed.

I still dont know what to do from here. How do I flash the downloaded rom because the new file I downloaded seems to be a zip and can only be flashed with CWM not ODIN. I cant place it in the right directory of my phone to do that.

LTE functionality is in the modem (baseband). CM doesn't update the modem. The only way the modem could get updated is if you did so through Google's servers.

[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:
....to go from a DNA to a Note 2 and now possibly back to a DNA. I know certain users around here might drop their jaws by looking at this post based on my posting history, but I'm considering it.

I must confess, I'm a phone whore. I get bored pretty easily and always like to try new phones, etc. I had a S3 before my original DNA purchase and then I returned that for a Note 2. But now I'm kind of bored with the Note 2. I think since I had the S3 before it, I'm kind of bored with Touchwiz.

There is a guy from my local Craigslist who is willing to do a trade of the phones and he will throw $50 on top. My phone and his are both in mint condition with all of the original accessories, etc. What do you guys think of the deal?

Also, before I consider it any further, I have a few questions:

1. He said the new OTA is installed and it's not rooted. From the quick reading here, there currently isn't a root method for the new OTA. Will there be any time soon?

2. I've seen both sides of this, but will Sense 5 be a realistic possibility? Whether official or unofficial, it doesn't matter to me.

3. Do any of the current custom ROM's make the home screen scrolling any faster? This is one of the biggest ones for me. I just didn't like the slow animations while scrolling the home screens. And please refrain from saying "just install Nova". I know that would help, but I'm talking about Sense.

I need to make a decision by tomorrow, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Convince me! LOL.

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You are correct in the fact that you are currently unable to root it. And no one knows when a new root method will come out. It could be tomorrow, it could be next month, it could be never.

Unofficially, of course. Officially, its likely, but not certain. Someone, nits iirc, said it's been built and in the hands of verizon already. So that's good news.

No. And I'm pretty sure it's not easy to do that. And to be honest if it really bothers you that much just install a 3rd party launcher.
[HTC Droid DNA] UrGuardian999:
Go buy a Motorola phone.... it will make you appreciate either one of them:silly:

I know, not helpful..... well, with the OTA installed on it, he should throw $100 on it because that just made it so that you're stuck for now. If he puts in $100, go for it hahah

I switched from the Note 2 to the DNA and could not be happier. There has never been a time I wished I still had the Note.

[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:

[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
I'm the same way I'm known as the guy with a new phone lol. I own the DNA which my gf has right now we switched and I want it back and only play with the note 2 where I work since I sell phones and I like it too just not a touchwize person bit would like to personally use cm10 or 10.1 the DNA and note 2 r set up right next to each other and the DNA gets brighter. I like both screens. Depends to me if u want a huge phone or a phablet

Also. If you are like me I'm around a charger quite often so battery doesn't bother me. The DNA did pretty well to last the day on decent use but my usage varies
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
If it's unlocked then I would get it, if not I would pass.

I believe it will get Sense5.

As for roms making the home screen scrolling faster, idk since I use Nova, but Supercharged Hatka has a lot of speed tweaks.

If I were you I would wait for the S4 since you already tried the DNA and would be tempted to get the S4 when it comes out.
[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
I prefer the size, feel, appearance and screen type. I have not used an LCD in awhile but I really like it at this point.

The note 2 felt like I had a mini tablet in my pocket and this feels like a normal phone.

The grippy material HTC used for the back of the phone makes it very easy to hold in one hand and the shiny plastic on the Note 2 made it difficult.

The shiny appearance of the note 2 was very flashy and it did look enormous compared to most phones where the DNA comes across as a normal ish phone size.

While the battery life on the note 2 was better than the DNA, I've been getting an average of 15-20 hrs per charge with what I would describe as moderately heavy usage.
[HTC Droid DNA] intruda119:
Theres nothing better with the DNA. Screen is very subjective (LCD vs amoled). Size is also, depends on person( 1 handed use with note 2/no skinny jeans here) .

I believe with the newest its there is not a way to root/soff yet. And hopefully the devs will provide sense 5. From what I hear Verizon isn't the quickest at releasing updates but that's why we have xda.

Scrolling has gotten better if comparing to intial release.

Personally my gadget addiction needed to try something else. Im currently revisiting the dna for the moment and no real complaints.

My current issue is with development(many slightly tweaked stock roms). Waiting to see what happens after HTC one release.

Samsung devices out of the box are slightly better. You can see all the little things they added when switching to HTC.

Verizon needs to stop touching things. Everything they added is extremely annoying. I'm not extremely hype about sense 5, all I see is a rss reader. Its very clean looking though.
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
I just want to echo the sentiment that the update makes scrolling home pages faster, at least in my hands, it feels faster.
[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:
What do you mean by unlocked? If you mean rooted and soff, it's not.

So the consensus is to not get this DNA?
[HTC Droid DNA] intruda119:
Assuming the trader is using the gsm unlock as a selling point. The device is s-on and has the ota that can't be rooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] amit_sen:
Get that damn DNA bro. You will love it.

Install newt NOS Rom on it and njoy.

[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:

[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:
I still don't understand gsm unlock. The phone has never been rooted and is on the latest OTA.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
The dna is gsm unlocked straight from Verizon. It means you can pop an at&t(or any other gsm carrier) sim in it and it will work. It has no relation to bootloader unlocking.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I think he would like it unlocked so he can mod it if he wants to, and he probably will.
