Well here's my set up starting with the case.. I got it off ebay a month or so ago.. It has held up great.. I get a lot of compliments on it in public

My rom is the latest version of VeNuM Ice.. Love the minimal black and white theming

Apps: I use Apex launcher.. UCCW widgets.. Image to wallpaper /wallpaper maker to set my walls (love those apps)

Six axis Controller app.. Just got a ps3 controller.. Have to set it up.. I mostly play real racing 3, dead trigger (a modded version I found), Modern combat 4 zero hour (love the multi player) and toy story smash

I use noozoxide (great eq app) along with Sony Walkman..

For my keyboard I use swift key(modded) it's in the themes and apps.. I like the modded version better.. Very minimal

The switching on and off is just annoying. The problem is now I can't watch local and national games. It would be nice to see someone mod the app to remove mock location check or find a way to use GPS spoofer without using the mock location setting. Then again, MLB app is nice, but I find the video random quicks since they did do the update to check for mock location setting.

Hmm nothing else I found cool

Only new this is this app called Greenify which is nice for the battery (search in the play store)

Also puzzle retreat.. A very very nice puzzle game. I usually find puzzle games pretty boring but that one keeps my attention

And this new case I ordered from amazon.. Pretty cheap and I need the extra protection for when I go out .. Should be here Friday

is there anyone happy with stock ics on their att play? if so, does everything work 100% (wifi, text messaging, internet)?

sorry for this newbie post to the experts but would appreciate help. thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4_broadcast:
Atm there's no stock ics ics firmware... Most of them are modded roms from the original ics beta or ported from other devices... But first, UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER... If it's still locked you won't be able to flash any custom kernel or Rom...

To install ics you need to have your bootloader unlocked. Other than that your set to go with everything else.

You can still continue to download adaway at http://f-droid.org/ along with other free and open source software.

As far as Ad Blocker ★ Root ★, it will probably pop up somewhere eventually.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
Google are saying it's down to the permissions - the ad blocker type adds have full access to change the proxy which could potentially lead to phishing attacks if the app was compromised. I can see why Google have done it but it's annoying as I do use AdAway
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MrDarkKV:
I heard it because it breaches the Google Dev ToS,

"After a regular review we have determined that your app interferes with or accesses another service or product in an unauthorized manner. This violates the provision of your agreement with Google referred to above,"

Basically, Google seems to be saying don't mess with advertising - which is the Web giant's central source of revenue.

Same Topic, just for my situation

I have the same version, added CWM recovery a while back, just wanted root so I could do more things with my phone. now the update is ready to push for JB but do i need to do anything first before I install the update? I tried to look around CWM but I didnt see anything nor could I remember what I did to root it.

Or will it just overwrite everything and I'll be back at a stock and locked ROM after it updates?

First question, (I hope I'm posting this in the right place) is there a way to rip the clock from the lock screen, or does anyone know a tutorial I can look at to find out?

Second, where is the current wallpaper stored in the system.

And lastly, I want to change the colour of the pull ring on the lockscreen. Does anyone know how or where I'd find a tut?

Thanks, keh_tolo
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
From what i know The lockscreen is an app on its own. So changing that would require you searching up advanced themeing i think the apk was htclockscreen.apk or something but be carefull with it.

As to the wallpapers they are an apk too lol. You need to pull it from the phone, insert/remove the ones you want and then push it back again with adb.

Or you could try QuickPic which grants you the ability to use any picture as your Background, asuming thats what you want.

And for the clock i have no clue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sliverer:
Hello,

My Xperia S which I bought in August 2012 doesn't boot anymore. A few weeks after I bought it, I unlocked the Bootlader and installed custom Kernels and ROMs and it worked fine all the time. I was on KA 22.1 SSpeed and Advanced Stock 17 and wanted to try something else, so I installed XZXperience 2 and the Elite V2-Kernel.

Well, after that, the phone worked fine but I noticed some heavy battery drain. Charging took waaay longer than usual (full charge about 4 hours with the plug) and the drain was immense. BetterBatteryStats showed me a Deep Sleep of 98 % while I lost about 15 % of battery life in ONE hour, that can't be somehow. The phone however worked still fine.

So I decided to flash the Advanced Stock Kernel again but the drain didn't stop, it was as before. I thought that the Battery Stats are maybe corrupted, so I let the phone discharge itself completely (didn't take long) and wanted to charge it fully. When I plugged in the charging cable, the first unusual thing was, that the red light appeared instantly upon connecting. Normally it would take a second or so. The second thing is, there was no logo, no battery symbol, just nothing but the red light when I plugged the cable in.

I slept a night and after I woke up, I disconnected the cable and wanted to start the phone, but nothing happened. Still, the only thing the phone does, is lighting red, when it's plugged in. Fastboot or Flash-Mode don't work, the computer doesn't recognize anything.

So...what to do? it appeared after I flashed the new ROM and Kernel, but I don't think it has something to do with them...the drain was also there with the Advanced Stock Kernel. Although I must say, that I often had flashing errors, often the device said something like:

format_volume make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

To me, it looks like the battery has a deep discharge and is dead, but I don't know, what could I probably do before sending it in? If the battery is dead the warranty should still be there, even with the unlocked bootlader, am I right?

Best regards
