I don't think so... I know editing build.prop can make the system think you are running a tablet, so maybe the same with the Android version. But, even if you can do that, the app will probably force close as soon as you open it up because it depends on something that we don't have in our system. Just like some apps require busy box to be installed, some apps will need a certain version of android to work, but that's not always the case.

I am having trouble flashing a new custom recovery. i am currently using twrp 2.4.3.0 and having issues when installing new roms. When i try to flash CWM via app it says it worked but when boot into recovery still twrp. i have tried fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] but i get an error that says

error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-ace': Unknown error

I don't know how to fix this. Please help.

Is your bootloader unlocked or are you S-Off? Did you happen to relock it or anything?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Norcal232001:
I an s-on with unlocked bootloader usuing htcdev. I was originally able to flash via fastboot. That is how I got twrp. I don't like it and wanna use a different recovery. Should I try and get s-off and then try?
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
No. If your bootloader is unlocked, then recovery should be flashable. Try to flash 4ext recovery using 4ext updater that is free from their site.

I can't do CRT animation by my self. Because changing the value of config_animateScreenLights from true to false in framework-res.apk is not working anymore!

The problem is that are some missing commands in the /system/framework/services.jar

After comparing files from GB and ICS, i might have come up with a Method.

This is what have to be done:

First of all decompile classes of services.jar (I won't provide any information to this, there are many tutorials out there how to use the smali tools!)

Then in com/android/server/PowerManagerService.smali we have to make the method nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)V callable from inner classes. To do that, we have to add the following after the last access$XXXX method:

Code:

.method static synthetic access$9000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;I)V

.registers 2

.parameter "x0"

.parameter "x1"

.prologue

.line 110

invoke-direct {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)V

return-void

.end method

Than we have to add some commands to the file com/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState.smali to trigger the CRT-off-effect. For that add the red part between :cond_38 and iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/a.... like this (its around line 400 in code):

Code:

.line 2679

.restart local v3 #turningOff:Z

:cond_38

iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;->this$0:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;

const/16 v3, 0x11 # CRT-On and CRT-Off

#calls: Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)

invoke-static {v4, v3}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->access$9000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;I)V

iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;->this$0:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;

#getter for: Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->mScreenBrightness:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;

invoke-static {v4}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->access$6000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;)Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;

move-result-object v4

Lastly, recompile the file, put it on your phone CRT-off effect will be magically displayed.

Lastly, i really seek the devs help to work on this and bring success to this work.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
This is for stock Sony I suppose?

You're not getting any animation at all? I ask because stock Sony has a different animation than AOSP/CM. Stock uses a blurred circle like animation which "closes" towards the center of the screen. The opposite direction of movement when you turn on the device.

It's called an "embargo". That's when Samsung promises that news media will get all the juicy bits and details, but nothing must be officially released until Samsung "lifts" that embargo.

Unfortunately, it's not clear what is allowed, so even "who's who list" will not be announced until the embargo is lifted.

There's a Chinese news site that blasted through the embargo, I'm sure that Samsung will sanction them with much less news in the future. But that is just their evaluation phone, nothing to do about the launch it's self, nor the Tim Cook look alike they've hired to spoof the iPhone in comparison.. (wait, didn't say that. Nothing to see here folks)... :silly:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I'm going to be seriously pissed off if they pull a Qualcomm stunt for the US version again. Seems like that is exactly what they are doing though. I wish they would just give GSM pentaband and Exynos and through CDMA to the wolves...

A lot of the features probably wouldn't work on Qualcomm chips... I seriously doubt the 600 could keep up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Pretty similar to the s3 just obvious improvements with the hardware. I think us gs3 users are not as impressed but what you expect to since the s3 was soo good what can come after that to impress again, the s3 put the bar so high the s4 is just a minimal update. I still don't believe android is ready for these quad core, octa-core processors.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I think its pretty much confirmed that Samsung is going to launch a Qualcomm chip here. At the end of the video it says nothing about AWS connectivity for HSPA+ *sigh* I will wait until the 800 is commercially available and see what launches then.

While it may not be a huge software upgrade, I sure would love to have the new hardware... The LPDDR3 alone is going to blow everything else away.

EDIT: Confirmed... 1.9GHz Snapdragon Fusion Pro.

CNET
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MacTheRipperr:
So American users are getting the shaft again with processing power. I'll wait to use my upgrade on some thing else
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The 600 is no slouch but yes, we get the shaft again. Especially on T-Mobile since we can not even use it on the AWS band. at&t users at least have the option of buying unlocked.

Interestingly enough, the US launch partners are at&t, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Cricket, and U.S. Cellular. I think that's a first - Cricket getting the best of the best on launch! Their "pay 1000 dollars for a 600 dollar device" program must be being successful much like T-Mobiles Value Plan device installments have been.

I am going to pass for now. I don't mind Snapdragon chips but they get hot and they suck a lot of power.

Honestly if CDMA was dead, I bet Samsung would make an Exynos for the US but releasing two different processor models in a single market would not only piss off consumers but carriers as well. I don't ever see Samsung licensing CDMA from Qualcomm when they can just get an SoC from them instead. I think we need to be more pissed at Qualcomm for their monopoly stranglehold and their slow development of high end chips. We won't see Samsung chips until Qualcomm is brought down a few notches.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
Actually its still up in the air as it says the pro fusion OR octocore on the sheet, I believe they may go the lessor route as well though as it seems to be the trend of past desisions but its not like there's any other carrier producing better than the pro anyways. Only Samsung put the 8 core out there to begin with and yes if you wait another year sure 25 other devices will be in the mix but that's what the game is and that's not gonna make a difference because there will always be a let down no matter what company is in the hot seat but is it the fact we may not get the octo over the pro which HTC is using the 600 in the One they just released and swear by really a huge let down? If they said the screen was gonna be more like the GS3 that would break the deal since they bragged about 1080.

On PocketDiVX and PocketMVP, you can map the hardware buttons. So if you map both hardware buttons and all directions on the rocker keypad to something which doesn't interfere with MP3 playing (such as 'increase brightness'), you're all set.

I would keep one (maybe a rocker direction?) mapped to toggling the screen on and off to save batteries though.

well windows have smart key settings like if you

hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key the active problem close

and if you hold down CTRL + ALT and hit DELETE it reboot if it's win9X and give you the taskmanager if it's NT/2k/XP

some you can set yourself to do what ever action you want it to

well it's the the same thing with your XDA when you are running a program you can change what the buttons on your device does

so when you are listening to mp3 then you set the keys actions to something which does not interfear with your music playing, you can prob set these up in the program you use to listen to music with

and in the end a7GH add that it would prob be a good idea to set on off the buttons action to turning off the display to save juice

Also, have you tried EVERY kernel? Harsh keeps close to stock, but adds newer patches and fixes, as well as the ability to change gamma. He still uses mpdecision, which retains the stock snappiness.

OP, using custom ROMs lets you have the latest version of Android + all the cool extras.

T9 dialer, Pie and battery percentage are three VERY popular ones. Mind you, there are ways to add these to the stock ROM, but at that point it's not stock.

Run stock as long as you happily can. Keep an eye on the more popular custom ROM threads to see if there's any one, or more, features that you absolutely can't live without, if you're at all interested.

You're running a great ROM already and too many people jump into the ring without doing enough research.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
The one thing I can't live without is hiding nav bar,

ok, two things, Touch Control.... Since stock kernel disabled it I had to use a custom kernel. Besides it's old habit. I was a Franco kernel user since Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unixon:
1. The software buttons can take up a lot of space after the status bar is included. Makes the screen feel less like 4.7"

2. The stock colors really are washed out. Modifying the gamma can get you extremely attractive colors.

3. I like being able to have a flashlight and my hotspot a touch away and having custom tiles proves awesome for that.

4. When you're playing Real Racing 3 and your girlfriend texts you, its kind of a pain in the butt to switch windows :P. The pie in my ROM let's me read and respond to my notifications on the fly.

5. Aesthetics. The boot animation, custom app color recommendations and artwork in general are just awesome on Paranoid Android 3.1. Cooler than Holo at times :o

6. Better sound. By default the volume on this sucks but now I've installed Xloud it's just right.

But in the end this is a Nexus device. Works just peachy off the bat but coming from the developer concept series from Google, they don't expect you to take it as is. Different strokes for different folks. 4.2.2 is as is. If you want more though the Nexus is the cornocopia of ROM development. Every big league ROM originates here. Another reason to love it among the rest :o.

Just my two cents :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayne519:
CyanogenMod and Stock Kernel

In my opinion the best way to go is CyanogenMod gives you a lot more customization and the battery life, ram speed and CPU clock is perfectly fine so there's no need to get a custom kernel.

- Volume Button tweaks

- Full Screen (Pie)

The addition of Awesome Beats and Noozxoide made my phone sound crazy good. Everyones phone is totally their own. No 2 are alike because you can personalize everything.

With the custom rom you can customise more you phone and improve your experience with your phone than stock ROM. Many people said that in latest posts. But no one precise that every custom ROM has some little or big dysfunction. Look the chapter troobleshooting of each custom rom. Even cyanogenmod (very popular) has one.

My strategy is replaced the stock ROM by custom ROM when I 'm feel tired of my phone. And then it allows me to wait several mouths: time to search the right next phone for me and buy it.

How about using the stock deox roms ? This allows you to run the base rom plus flash some small customisations
