[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Don't have experience with such case batteries, but I have spoken to someone who has. This particular type you mentioned above is very common on Amazon/ebay in 3200/3600/4000 flavors. It makes phone longer because of the bulk at the bottom and you can't access S-pen anymore - a big negative. There is an alternative someone got from ebay - 3200 mAh version: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350655154588&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

It doesn't make the case longer and keeps the bottom open to access s-pen. The down side of this particular case and other battery flip cases is an average of 500mA Input which makes them charge up very slowly, and the same 500mA-700mA Output which charges the phone slowly as well. Also keep in mind output mAh is rated for 5V output while our battery is 3.7V which means down conversion eats into efficiency of the output thus output capacity will be lower.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
Hmmmm didn't consider s pen access. Good point. That other option is interesting. I wonder how it affects NFC.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I know I should go flash and see what I like... but I have been with hydra 1.4.1 for so long and never changed... but reading through posts after 6 months of not being on xda / flashing roms has left me behind the times!!

Any good roms using apex launcher as default ?? I couldn't see any... not essential just wondered..

Recommendations of a good up to date rom would be appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
To constantly be up to date, run rooted stock. Debloat yourself either by uninstalling them with TiBu (also removes .odex files) or freeze apps.

Speaking of kernel I would recommend you philz (just a custom recovery) as dorimanx seems to be a little laggy here sometimes : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

PS don't worry if the versions mismatches it works just fine

Was anyone able to resolve this problem with the new xda II rom? i dont want it to disconnect.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] arebelspy:
Only solution so far is to not upgrade to the new ROM.

I've followed this path. :D

Who wants to reconnect GPRS every time they turn their XDA II back on?

Certainly not I. ;)

With Spb GPRS Monitor you can do not only GPRS Connections switch off ;)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ARZLEB:
ROM upgrade is the best solution

:)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] KA Kueh:
Dear all,

I got to know that to end the GPRS is to hold the END Talk button for about 2-3 second and it will switch off the GPRS. The icon will change and if you check by clicking the icon it will tell you that GPRS is off.

Regards,

Kueh.

I've got the ROM update from T-Mobile:

version 1.60.00WWE

radio: 1.06.01

ExtROM: 1.60.06

But I customized the ExtROM since I don't have a Read-only ExtROM. Removed most of the T-Mobile specific customizations and GPRS does stay connected after going into suspend mode. In fact, there is also a Disconnect button for GPRS and pressing the End Call button once will disconnect GPRS. I don't have to hold it down for a few seconds anymore.

However, I do have the problem where File Explorer will show the spinning circle "busy" icon non-stop after certain file management activities.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] sonadt:
I think you may have trouble with SD slot / SD card.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dherrero:
Upgrade with de official Imate rom. It works and gprs doesnt disconnect after power off
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Panabax:
OK,

In order to use the 1.60 ROM and have always on GPRS, you need to delete the TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB file from the extended ROM and then hard reset again. I have deleted all of the TMD*.CAB files as I assumed they were T-Mobile specific and not needed for running my I-Mate (even on T-Mobile) and my GPRS connection is now always on. This particular CAB file is also responsible for the GPRS connection time indicator, which I no longer have, I guess it would show a long time.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Geekeleh1:
I have an LG G2x with Android 2.3.4 and v21y with March 2012 baseband. I would like to keep this phone for a while. It is stable, and I do not plan to try any other roms. I am a relative newbie at rooting, and while I have done a lot of reading on the forums, I am learning as I go and hope someone will be patient enough to respond.

1. I am wondering if there is a performance advantage to rooting it and removing the tmo bloatware that came pre-installed. How would I know what I can remove without messing up the phone?

2. How would I undo the root or backup my phone before I start messing with it?

3. I have been trying to read as much as I can find on the forums. It is a lot of reading, and I am a newbie trying to learn as I go. It appears that I can use SuperOneClick 2.33 to root the phone. Is that right?

4. I have also read about using One-Click NvFlasher ClockWorkMod Touch at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847. Do I need this if I don't plan to try other roms? Or do I need this to get my phone back to its original state?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
If you're planning to root your phone I would use the last link you posted for one-click NvFlasher. Flash CWM using that program. Works great. after doing that download the root.zip file from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255214 Follow the instructions under HOW TO ROOT. It's extremely simple. Once your phone is rooted, I recommend making a nandroid back up of your rooted rom by booting into CWM and choosing backup/restore and clicking on backup. CWM will then make a backup of your rooted ROM that you can keep on your phone or move to your PC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Geekeleh1:
I'm hoping someone can tell me if there is a performance advantage to rooting given that I don't plan to install a different rom. Also, what is the difference between using SuperOneClick versus NvFlasher? If I root, I would also like to be able to unroot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
I do not believe that super one click works with 2.3.4 that's what I read on the forums. The easiest way to root is to install cwm via NvFlash and then flash the root.zip file in the link I posted. After you flash cwm with NvFlash, make a Android backup of your unrooted ROM. if you ever want to unroot just restore the unrooted rom through CWM. There are slight performances to having super user access like taking off the unnecessary bloatware that tmo makes you have. However, the real performance advantages come from flashing roms and kernals. There are 2.3.4 rooms that you can flash with performance enhanced aspects to them. In my honest opinion, if you don't plan on flashing a rom or kernal (which I think u will eventually) then rooting isn't really worth it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Geekeleh1:
Thanks for your reply. I would root if removing the tmo bloatware resulted in significantly improved performance. Since that does not appear to be the case, I will probably not root (unless the itch to give a try becomes overwhelming)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Oh you'll get the itch!
[Android Themes] Serilei:
Some of you have been following this for a very long time, you have seen the changes and many alterations I have gone through. But now, Android on the desktop has reach a very serious status about itself and it is turning into a powerhouse beast of an OS.

Let me start by saying that Android Desktop does have an official name, we just have not released it yet, so for now, we are sticking to Android Desktop OS.

I am going to be short and clean about what is going on. What we are doing with Android is nothing short of damn amazing, we have turned Android into a 64 / 32 bit, Intel and AMD powered, rebuilding from the ground up, new feature rich, all app redesigned, new kernel, synced platformed environment, with a lot of new things which will be added in the future.

Me and the lead developer have been working and mapping every corner of this out for well over a year, every small detail, every brand new thing we must add to Android, adding all new systems and mechanisms to bring out the full power of a desktop.

I must state this as strongly as possible, this is not a patch, not a port or any bad attempt by the likes of which others have done. This is the real deal, real power, real love and thought put into this OS. Totally rebuilt in a way no one has thought of yet. Every default app has been redesigned for the desktop, all UI, all screens, notifications, settings and everything are beautifully redesigned to burn your cornea when you see it.

The kernel is a powerhouse. This will do partitions, read HDDs, SSDs and other drives properly, newly implemented mouse and keyboard systems and just so so so much more that we have planned for this, things I can't even talk about.

I just can't wait to have you see what is coming, this is about to change so much in the tech world. I repeat, this IS the real deal.

I will leave you with some teasers of what is going on, just to pique your interest as well as I can, also keep in mind there are a lot of things not show for particular reasons.

And last but not least, we are always keeping an eye out for serious developers who are interested in building the future.

If you have any skills related to the following please contact us here or on G+:

C, C++, Assembly, Bash, Gnu make, Gcc compiler, JVM, Building run-time environments, Kernel, Android roms, Linux from scratch, Unix, Intel/amd architecture , Porting to and from arm, Building operating system.

But also, if you seriously want to stay updated, join our G+ group or follow on Twitter. Also, the beta is on its way!

Now for the good stuff.

I am under BIG! impression, I hope some ppl of Google company or other will take into account your job/idea.

I am wonder if I can have deskopt OS of android on pc, I love android platform.

Thanks for your hard work.

I supose you sent a informations about this to google or somewhere? :)

Congratulations and good luck!

By the way, fix URL to YT video ;)
[Android Themes] Serilei:
lol it has been a long day so I cant tell if it is sarcasm or not xD

But, I never offered to send it, not sure how, and they probably wouldnt even look at it honestly, unless someone can show me other wise.

I would love to have it as an full fledged Desktop OS, I would ditch Win 8, even though I like it.

I tried to fix the youtube video, proper tags and all, but it keeps messing up, no idea what to do.

And there is operating system called linux..maybe its just like distro..

[Android Themes] zomer331:
Odp: Android Desktop OS

Sarcasm? No. Why You thought that? You're wrong.

Maybe you can a build theme system for Windows 7 /8 or for Linux?

Easier way at all. :)

I want to see design like yours in my desktop.

Do not put Web address in normal URL options on post, in the editor of post, must be a option to put dedicated YOUTUBE URL. (I don't remember how exactly it is, I am far from computer)

stupid google, use this, android with this look for desktopnis better than chrome os, + you could use all apps from market, buy them, better than no apps in chrome os, i would love a skin like this for windows, or an android desktop system, mobile browsers are better than windows browser
[Android Themes] Serilei:
I apologize then :D

If I knew how to theme, I would, but I am definitely offering someone to do this for Linux or anything else. I wish I could do more with it, but all I can do is photoshop pictures together.

I am messaging those that work at google on GooglePlus, lets see how this works.

[Android Themes] Narciso Neto:
Really nice screens, but i think that google is working now on Chrome OS for desktops... A shame bcoz Chrome OS is horrible...
[Android Themes] Serilei:
Yeah thats what I dont understand, android is beaming left and right, has alot of potential and they do a Chrome os :eek:

As I said, if I knew how to write code, I would blend a Linux and Android x86 type together, allow some Windows files to be used, well mainly games and what not, but still.

I wish someone here on XDA could pull a group together and start this, I would lead the art idea side.
[Android Themes] Serilei:
Am I allowed to bump this?
[Android Themes] clickclack333:
Willing to start

first off, sorry to bump the thread :/. So as far as i know the apps on a android phone work on a java platform, so technically you could take the android tablet OS and convert it (i know that's not easy) to desktop, and kick win 8 ass. However its java, its process intensive and not the most fun.
[Android Themes] c3n_dhol:
This looks really cool... impressive and amazing... *speechless
[Android Themes] Serilei:
If I knew how to code, I really would do this, trust me I want an Android desktop OS more than anything, well something that runs on x86 or x64
[Android Themes] Ahmad_Ashraf:
I've been visiting xda for almost 2 years

So far thats the best idea I've ever heard
[Android Themes] Serilei:
Thank you I appreciate it. If we ever get an Android desktop, and I say if because, it seems Acer may be working on it. But I would like to use these ideas as a skin for android.
[Android Themes] Ahmad_Ashraf:
From where did you know that Acer is working on android desktop os
[Android Themes] Serilei:
They are working on that AIO pc thing with the new haswell chips. Which I am hoping isnt the mobile chip, instead the desktop chip. But I think that stands at like 10% and there was a rumor that (not acer) but there would be Android laptops sometime this year, you will just have to google that one, but if so, it could mean that Android will get off of arm chips or whatever it is on.

Edit: Nvm here is the google link for android laptops.

If anyone would like to start up this project email me. justyntemme@gmail.com I would really like to see this beautiful idea come to life. I think if we look at android 86 and fork there os.

Thanks I really appreciate it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ali7000:
http://www.samfirmware.com/ click on firmwares and select the info for you're gf's phone, and download. Or if her phone is already on stock then open up super su, and in the settings select the option to fully unroot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GalaxySteve:
It was just rooted, not flashed, I didnt realize Super User had that option! hah it worked! thanks man! Super User uninstalled itself after I clocked "unroot" and in "about device" - "status" it says normal, and mine says modified. so im assuming shes good to go!?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] localceleb:
Ok, so I'm going to start by saying that I am the furthest thing away from being an android noob, but this is my first Moto android device. I can see right away in terms of rom and kernel flashing it's a bit different than all the other android devices I've owned. I Picked up a RAZR for a really good price and it came loaded with Safestrap and had a 4.2.2 AOKP nightly loaded already on it. KI'm completely unfamiliar with bootstrap and how it works (I plan on reading up and learning everything today), but the guy that gave it to me said he accidently deleted the stock rom. To me, coming from all htc devices, I didn't think that was a big deal because who wants stock anyways? So, I'm not sure if it's critical to get that stock rom loaded back on in one of the slots or not.

I guess the point of this post is to see if anyone would care to share a couple helpful pointers for a first time moto user and hopefully make this learning process a bit easier.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply with something other than "Read the stickies"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vato_bth:
If you are happy with the AOKP, no need to install stock ROM. Stock ROM probably have less bugs, working 1080 camcoder, but lack options, that AOKP has.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
Next time, make sure dont to delete the stock ROM, you can install other custom ROM on other ROM slots, make your stock rom as a backup if anything happens.

If you want to go back to stock ROM, or if your razr is bricked, i suggest you to download the fastboot file and flash the xml.zip you downloaded using RSD lite from the PC. Its just the same as 'Odin' if youre Samsung user. Download the fastboot file in the link given and also download rsd lite,you can google for it

[General Questions and Answers] NaughtyLuvJungle:
I am trying to flash a custom ROM to my DINC2, this is my first time. I have run into a problem. 4ext recovery has been sitting at the "Installing update..." screen while flashing the ROM for over an hour now. I can hit the phone search button and get "taking screenshot" to appear, but nothing else happens. What is going on?

I have chosen the unofficial multilang MIUI4 ICS ROM. So far I have done the following.

1) Revolutionary S-OFF via downgrade method, install CWM

2) Root with su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

3) Download & install 4EXT recovery (RC8).

4) With 4EXT, full wipe/ factory restore, clear cache + dalvik

5) Flash the ROM zip file once, this was successful and took about 5 minutes. However whenever I rebooted phone it would come right back to 4EXT rather than booting into the ROM.

6) Decided to try flashing ROM zip file second time over previous flash. I did NOT do a wipe this time, just attempted to overwrite. Now the phone is just sitting there.

I did check the md5 sums all along the way and everything looks ok. Can anyone help me?
[General Questions and Answers] NaughtyLuvJungle:
Update. In case anyone cared. 4ext RC8 remained in the same for several more hours. I ended up rebooting the phone with vol up + vol down + pwr, and then attempted the same action again after wipe + format all except SD card. This time the flash "took" and I am now running the ROM. I am not sure what happened as I did everything exactly the same. But it's running now.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAF77:
Hello folks

My issue is this:

GSM Desire

Class 10 SD

4ext Recovery (used to partition sd)

I'm trying to install various JB roms. The a2sd never works. When I download the gui it says it can't start because either no scripts, no partition, etc.

I've tried a lot of Roms including ones where a2sd is meant to be built in. I've also installed from Terminal and it seems to optimise all the apps on reboot but internal memory is still the standard and apps still in Internal (it's meant to go up to my ext4 partition right? it's about 1.5G)

I've worked my way through these (can't post the link but its the Alchemister custom rom blogspot for the Desire.)

each one the same problem.

Checkext and diskspace both see the partition. Strangely, L2SD seems to crash each of the Roms if I install it.

So far the only Rom to work correctly is a Supernova Gingerbread one. It gave me the 1.5G. So, the partition appears to be good.

Both are primary too.

I would like a JB one as the supernova rom is very laggy.

Running a Miui at the moment and also really liked the Touchwiz one on the list as well.

I only started doing this two days ago as my contract was up so I'm very new to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Let's make sure your partition works. Download the rom in my sig. It's a very stable rom, that has a script integrated that moves data/app and dalvik cache to sd-ext. Flash it, then install a few apps. If the internal storage gets filled up quickly, then it probably is a partition fault, and you'll have to repartition.

If it does work, then you did something wrong when you installed the other roms.

Are you sure you did a full wipe before installing all those roms?
