[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Sounds pretty cool, if it really works. Mabey i will try it out, after having a look at the scripts and what it actually does. It says not to do it if your s-off or not stock, but i dont see why it would matter.
[Droid Incredible General] Pons:
As a rule of thumb, I detest scripts that grant you auto root, especially on a device that is pretty easy and painless to root. It's make the user lazy, plus how many people actually check the code? If it has a slight bug, or a slight incompatibilty with your device, there's a good chance to brick, and you really only have yourself to blame.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
I looked at the code and found 1 issue. it runs the ruu to update hboot to 1.0.2, which is fine if your on hboot 0.92 and redundant and unnecessary if your already on 1.02. If your on hboot 1.07 already, it will fail and kill the script as hboot cant be downgraded if your not s-off. The script does no check to see what hboot your on, it just flashes it.

So the script will work if your on hboot 0.92 or 1.02. If on 1.07 it will not work unless the script is edited to remove the ruu flash part. As stated above, its not that hard to do manually. Hell you might even learn a little something, and become more familiar with adb and fastboot. And adb / fastboot can be a usefull thing to know. There are great step by step guides that can show you how here on xda. :)
[Droid Incredible General] Pons:
Thanks for looking at it. A prime example of why I don't like these scripts.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelikestacos:
I just purchased a 32GB Nexus 7 today. Having had the S3 for about 3 months, I couldn't resist the cheap price of the Nexus 7. I unlocked and rooted it instantly and now I'm looking for some suggestions on what ROM I should flash.

Basically, I'm looking for performance, with some options to customize. Basically the Anthrax AOSP ROM equivalent for the Nexus 7.

Is there anyone out there that can throw me some suggestions? I really don't know where to begin with all these ROMs I see :X
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
Just my .02

Paranoid

Dirty AOKP

Dirty Rootbox

Smooth ROM

That's in rough order of most options to a more stock experience.

(I like Dirty AOKP)

There are other good ones, but these are 4 that I have tried and are popular and have good support in their threads.

Note 2 - Nexus 7 - Charge - Player 5.0 - Fascinate

<><><><><><><><><><>

Read twice, flash once
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HatchetMan76:
I have so far tried stock (of course), CM10.1, and now Vanilla RootBox w/ Franco. I have enjoyed the latter, but I now have a desire to try them all. Tonight will be either SmoothRom or Orca with either Motley or Lean Kernel. Prime and Dirty Root Box looking very tempting too, M-Kernel or Trinity. Dang, this kinda sucks, the addiction, I have yardwork to do this weekend afterall!!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelikestacos:
I'm gonna be giving Prime a shot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HatchetMan76:
Please report with feedback on the Prime ROM, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelikestacos:
Well, first impressions are...amazing. 16xxx Antutu scores, 6000+ Quadrant. I doubled my Quadrant scores and increased my Antutu by 4000. This is, of course, after Overclocking the Max CPU, but wow, what a difference from stock.

Haven't really looked into customization options yet. Performance wise I am very happy though. I might change the Kernel. It comes with Faux by default, so I may give Omega or Trinity a shot even though I heard Faux is just as good as them both.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodb0y10:
Carbon ROM is super smooth. I use it for N7 and my note 2.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie498:
Best thing to do is try them for your self and see which works best for you
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhtfld76:
If you don't give Dirty Rootbox a spin then you're missing out. All of the current kernels are great. Even got some new blood developing. Congrats on your new grouper,there is definitely a lot of choices so have fun...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HatchetMan76:
I'll try it, with which kernel?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enzopreme:
Are there any ROMs that are themed to look like the galaxy tab? I am one of the few that actually enjoys the tablet touchwiz... but I wanted the performance of the Nexus 7....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelikestacos:
I may give it a go, though I am very happy with Prime. I can't seem to get the benchmarks that he gets in the thread, but I'm running Prime D03-06 with the Motley Kernel and it just feels SO SMOOTH! My god, it's amazing. I tried Trinity, but was getting horrible benchmarks scores. Also tried Omega with the same, low antutu scores. None seem to be as smooth as Motley, both in benchmarks and in the feeling of smoothness when in use.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynrozturk:
I personally don't care for benchmarks. They're just numbers. Once the tablet stops running smoothly, then I'll start caring.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Penguinify:
I've tried CM10.1, PA and Liquid Smooth.

CM10.1 had some fault with Gapps, I'm not sure what it is but the keyboard doesn't want to work. Paranoid Android and Liquid Smooth are very nice. I've not really given CM10.1 a chance, however :silly:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
As described at the title.

The Phone ran out of battery and when I plugged back the charger and turned it on... it stays in the AOKP *swagger activated* logo running there forever without booting.

Please help, I hope I don't have to wipe anything because I don't have a late backup :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Turn the phone off by pulling out battery. Plug in charger, and leave it for an hour or so. You should be good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Yeah, can you get into Recovery? If so, just try wiping cache & dalvik. Also make sure to charge your battery at least an hour as stated.

My phone gets goofy when it completely drains.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
I tried and still the same :(

I'll try to backup from recovery menu, then wipe and reinstall?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
If you took the time to create a nandroid you could just restore. If not, and wiping cache doesn't help, try a dirty install of your current ROM. Last resort is full wipe and reinstall.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
A 100% battery discharge won't kill phone OS. Turn off the phone, kill your instinct to check it, keep it on charger for a couple hours, until it says battery full. And only then turn it back on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
What if the battery didn't died actually and it just shut down and now it's having problems to run back normally?

Because I'm pretty sure I saw the battery low but not over kill low, then the phone shut down and didn't wanted to power back on.

Anyways I'm leaving it charging... now.

Ok in worse case scenario, can I do a back up from recovery and then wipe it all and reinstall AOKP and run the backup recovery and get back to exactly how it was before? right?!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Don't worry too much. Normally batteries don't deep discharge. For some reason, looks like yours did. I let mine shut down by itself once in a while. Its perfectly alright... At the most you might need a new battery.

But like you said, if its a system problem, and you are able to get into recovery, copy another ROM zip on your external SD, boot into recovery n flash it.

Did you apply any CPU settings like UV or OC?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
Nope, the phone havent had any other software, just the rooting process and AOKP and the recovery files.

Ok so It's safe to back up and restore after wiping everything from it right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
Well it sucks that I had no other choice but to start all over because nothing else wanted to work...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Sorry it had to come down to that.

don't look at is as a pain but a fresh start with the device. Explore some new roms. Have fun
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Sorry to hear that. Before you wipe, try to install the same ROM again without wiping anything (as a dirty install) and see if that helps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
Well its alright.

What exactly went wrong then?

Many thanks though :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Is the issue resolved yet? Might be a kernel crash or some rogue app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
I had to start from scratch.

I't ok not much of a loss... but I did loose important notes I had on the notepad diary.

The only other problem im having is that my contacts tends to go away, like if it's bugged.

I import them with GO CONTACTS and then today for example I go to my contacts and it's all blank.

What it's happening with this phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Search the q & a forum for a missing contacts/contacts disappeared thread. It was up a week or so ago. Not sure if it was resolved but it's worth finding and reading over. I only use Gmail to backup/restore contacts
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
I have seen at times that if the system runs the battery dead that it will corrupt Some files making the phone get stuck in a boot loop with a need to reflash.

As for your contacts try using a different backup program. Like super backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Try opening the XML file (exported contacts file) in excel. You should be able to view so your contacts there and make sure its all in place.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Marcel:
Does anybody know:

Is it possible to connect my car speakers to the O2 XDA Carkit directly ?

Marcel
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Peter Poelman:
Nah, not enough power. You need your car stereo as an amplifier. Alternatively, you can buy car amlifiers which are only amplifiers, but then make sure you don't end up buying a so-called 'booster', because it is meant to amplify a signal which is already at speaker level even further, for those that have sacrificed all space in their trunks for sub-sub-sub woofers and other tools for terrorizing their fellow humans.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] derekcfoley:
You could try a £10 maplin cassette adapter, http://www.maplin.co.uk spliced onto a o2 xda headphone cable. You can use the nokia adapter version straight from the box, as the connector is the same size, but it is mono. Hence why I adapted a spare xda headset instead, as I thought the button on the mic pod might be useful, not to mention portable between different cars.

However, I have had problems with "transmit" noise using this "lash up" method. So its not perfect, but to be honest if you want music playback or tom tom navigator audio output its excellent.

Does anyone know if the external amp/back input of a hifi would stop the reception of the transmission noise during a call/gprs exchange. I'm using an old crappy car stereo without a seperate input, and the car is probably worth less than the xda as well! hence the cassette adapter method. :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Pc-Mobile:
The MP3/Headset Audio Adapter from the other thread may be a solution?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Marcel:
It's a O2 Carkit with 2 outgoing speaker cables.

If i connect it directly to the cables that are coming from my car radio, will that work or will it blow up my xda.

http://www.pocketpc-club.nl/content.php?id=1275[/url]
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] guest:
it works through a standard nokia car radio relay kit

it works through the nokia car radio kit that was already in my car with my nokia phone, I simply plugged the radio relay kit intop the speaker socket of the O2 car kit and joined the yellow mute wires together.
[HTC Incredible S] sinosuke:
Hi friends,here is the state :p

My friend bought a HTC Incredible S - made in Taiwan. It came with Stock 2.3.3. Then he upgrade OTA to ICS.

When getting boring,when ask me how to install a custom Rom. I unlocked bootloader,install 4EXT Touch Recovery for him,then make a backup of stock ICS. Then guide him how to flash custom Rom,restore to Stock Rom with recovery and flash boot.img.

Everything was fine,he can flash custom Rom and restore the stock backup without any prob...till yesterday,after flash the lasted Vipper Vivo,he couldn't restore to stock Rom anymore,the phone got a boot loop into recovery. Even flash boot.img in fastboot,his vivo still stuck in HTC logo then reboot into recovery.

I tried many methods,flash some custom stock base Rom,insanter's Rom and mike1986 ARHD (awesome Rom :D) then restore the stock backup but there is no change...no way out :mad:

So i downgraded his vivo to 2.3.3 using the RUU downgrade.exe. Now his vivo is GB 2.3.3,but when i check for system update,attemp to upgrade to ICS via OTA,it said that the phone was up to date :banghead:

I'm end with any ideas now,please help bro...
[HTC Incredible S] shiromau:
Use latest ICS ruu from htcdev.com to upgrade it...juz run ruu.exe sit back for a while n u done... Good Luck...:thumbup:

Make sure your bootloder is lock before u run ruu...otherwise it wont work...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ady_seray:
I am getting my xperia z tomorrow off eBay. Apparently it's locked to three UK. Now this clearly means that the boot loader is locked and at the moment not unlockable.

Hence I was wondering if I pay three the £15 unlock fee, how will this affect my boot loader status? Will it change to unlockable? Does Sony have a CID system similar to the HTC One X that will intervene with my ability to get timely updates from Sony (I.e. some HTC CIDs got jellybean a lot later than others)?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashkae:
As stated in all such previous threads for every other Sony phone that gets released... Chances are, you will NOT be able to unlock the bootloader. That's why the international, non-carrier units from hong kong, Singapore, etc, are so popular.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Does anybody know of a app, script, or mod that actually works for switching the internal sd mount for the external sd? I have tried four or five apps, two or three scripts and a couple mods with no success. I just bought a 32b gb card basically it is useless if I can't switch the storage. Thanks for any input.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Moderator please close thread I figured out the solution myself. Thanks In case anybody doesn't know this the easiest way to switch your internal storage to external is change the vold.fstab file in system/etc. First find dev_mount sdcard /storage/ sdcard0 28 and change it to sdcard1 28. Then change dev_mount external_sd /storage/sdcard1 to sdcard0 and reboot. Now your external sd is the internal sd =alot more space

So say that I find a tablet, with not so much as a scratch on it, it the middle of the road, functioning perfectly. I take the tablet home and find a pattern lock staring at my face. What on Earth am I supposed to do? Most people would just CWM, wipe and keep it for themselves. I, however, want to give the tablet back to its owner, but it has no means of identification at all, and I don't want to get locked out permantently. Any ideas?

Hey Guys,

Is there a decent app for monitoring battery life on Surface RT? Haven't seen one in the store and would like to see how everyone monitors their battery lives.

Thanks!
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
I just spend almost all my time on the desktop (where the battery icon shows)... that and I charge the tablet every other day whether it needs it or not, or daily if I used it heavily, and that works pretty well.
[Microsoft Surface] mr_dan:
i dont really know why they didnt implement % .. how hard is that?
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Not hard largely irrelivant from a Windows POV, and lets remember that RT is just a port of normal Win8 with all the bits yuo really wanted, removed...
[Microsoft Surface] KJ98653:
I don't understand why phones, tablets, and what not seemingly don't default to a % view. And not this circle crap. Or number within a battery icon. Give me just a number and a % behind it and I'll die a happy man.
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
Android does good job of plotting the graph of battery usage. That's what I want.

I know you can always do it from command prompt (powercfg /batteryusage) but I want it just as a setting.

Should've been easy to implement. Or provide it as an app extra.

Too bad we don't have that! :(

yeah surface has many flaws.. to be honest.. its really a little weird... like and oxymoron.. they were so precise when trying to best ipads hardware.. looks and ergonomics... everything.... and then... bam, no % and no drawing in touch based Onenote... just wtf..
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
No CAPACITIVE drawing in touch based onenote. Wacom and Sony stylus's work perfectly fine in the modernui mode for onenote. Also you can fullscreen the desktop version of one-note and it looks the same while supporting touch based drawing without a stylus.

There no battery api currently, you have think outside the sandbox. It has an advanced option to create a scheduled task that drops the real battery percentage to the app's local storage which works on surface RT. Im crossing my fingers it does not get pulled from the store

So I bought a pebble from the kickstarter project and it finally came in today. Found out that it doesn't seem to work with the CM 10.1 nightlies so I need to change my rom (pebble service wont start). If anyone has received their Pebble, what roms does it work well with?

EDIT: Went back to a previous backup of CM 10 and that works fine so I guess I will stick with that. Still curious though - if anyone has any input.

EDIT #2: CM10 is working very well with pebble. One weird quirk, Talkback (the feature that reads websites to you) seems to turn on automatically for the default browser when Pebble is sync'd (even when talkback is completely disabled)

If there's an option on your phone to kill the app once you leave it, then that would close the tabs. As for opening a blank page you could just set the homepage to a blank page.

I don't remember having this problem last year, but for awhile now it's been an issue.

When my phone is locked and I get a text message, the popup comes up like it's supposed to. But when I go to quick-reply, the keyboard pops up and coveres the Handcent text window. So I can't see what I'm typing.

Any ideas? Looks like a few on the net have had the issue but I haven't seen anyone post a fix yet.

Hancent or Handcent Pro Beta (both had same issue)

Any AOSP based ROM I've tried over the last couple months

Nova Launcher Prime
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ruicc:
Hi mate,

Same problem here, but in my particular case, i can see half of Handcent text window... This is not happening in Go SMS, so it's a Handcent SMS related bug .

I tried find a workaround, but until now nobody comes up with a workaround...maybe it's better email the devs, to let them known about this issue (but i guess, they already know it)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
There may not be a fix as it is most likely the limitations on what can be done on top of the lockscreen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Weird.

I installed the Handcent [free] version on an AOSP ROM. It might have been Vanilla Rootbox. And the popup worked GREAT!

Now I am back on LiquidSmooth and it has the same old problem.

I just said screw-it and am now using the spam-fest known as GoSMS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MightyDrakeC:
I just installed LiquidSmooth and I'm seeing this. I think this is caused by new Swype behavior.

The typing area is actually visible until I start swiping. Then, the guesses pop up and extend the keyboard up to block the typing area. Previously, the Handcent popup would scoot up enough to make room for the entire thing. This is a replacement phone for an S3 with a cracked screen, and I'm not sure which ROM and version of Swype I had on the previous phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
I use the SwiftKey keyboard and don't swipe.

GoSMS has better themes, IMO. But if Handcent would work properly, I'd change back to it in a heartbeat. It's just "better" and less "spammy".
