[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Superman:
Let me intro you an app by gagan u20, if your ROM no Gamebooster 2, just try this out!!!

What is Boost My Xperia™ ?

Boost My Xperia™ is a tiny yet powerful app that boosts your device's performance. Initially, I made this app for my ROM users only and after launching my new updates of rom (also the app is updated to v2.0), I thought to share this app with all of you here on XDA.

Basically its is a kinda of task manager, but actually it does more than a task manager.

This new app comes with a beautiful UI and a handy widget. There are three profiles to boost your device i.e. Gaming, Multitasking and default. Choose between any of these and you are done.

*

Gaming mode

is suitable for game lovers. It boosts your device and make a more free RAM available to play heavy games. If you like to play HD games in your device then first enable Gaming mode from this app and then start playing your games without lags.

*

Multitasking mode

manages memory and give an optimum amount of free RAM. This mode is suitable for those who love to try and have installed several apps in their device. This mode lets you to switch between several apps in a quick and more responsive way.

*

Default mode

reverts back the changes that are made by this app (in case if you want to remove this app).

Also there is a Quick Boost feature available in app which kills some useless background apps and make some more free RAM.

You can boost your device from the home screen by using a beautiful "Boost" widget that comes with this app or you can boost you device from app drawer by launching this app and clicking Quick Boost button.

Caution:

Boosting your device may cause some apps to force close unexpectedly. You may see some FCs of apps in Gaming mode (which is normal). So enable Gaming Mode only when you want to play games.

Note:

Unlike other task managers that always reside in memory, this app doesn't leave any active service to eat your RAM ( as I already told that this is more than an ordinary task manager). So don't get confuse that this app will take some extra memory, instead, it will boosts some extra free memory. :D

* This app is compatible with/without a supercharged ROM but if your ROM is supercharged then you will get Super Boost.

SuperCharged ROM (supercharged services) + Boost My Xperia™ = Super Boost.​

Requirements

No additional requirement except a ROOTED device.

Related:

If I want basic/system apps (Settings, Messaging, Contacts) to open fast, which profile is best? Multitasking sounds right, but I'm affraid it will drain the battery faster...

I'm using Achotjan's SDE CM9 ROM and it's very nice, stable and fast overall. I had some mysterious issues regarding battery life while using another theme - or enabling some settings like Purging of assets, Force 2D. Anyway, the most annoying thing is when I want to open Dialer/Contacts or Messaging - I sometimes have to wait a few seconds before I can see the content...

I hope this app is going to change that; I'll try both modes, anyway.

Are that on-screen buttons for CM9? :cyclops:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
I'm curious on how the pac man ROM is. From what it looks like, its pretty nice. Before I flash it though I'm just wondering how battery life and performance is. I have cm10 SDC now, and it drains battery very quickly. I can't get through the day with having to fully charging it. I ran cm10.1 version 4.2.2 SDC and battery life was better at least, I could make it through the day without charging, but it ran slow and buggish.

So for those who have ran or are running PAC how is it compared to other ROMs?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
See my post at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39643864&postcount=14.

FWIW I prefer (Succulent's) Xylon ROM over PAC ROM -- it's the most responsive and has sufficient UI customization.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
Maybe I'll try Xylon. I've only tried CM before. Customizing the Ui looks a little fun.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
(If you saw my previous post before editing I just went ahead and formatted /data1 anyways.

My other question is in the older version of cyanobot, whenever it boots an img the fuzzy colored pixels come up. What img do I need to update to get rid of that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I don't recall coming across "fuzzy colored pixels" issue with any version of Cyanoboot that I've used, but you'd like to try a newer version for your CM SD image you can swap in the version contained in Succulent's boot.zip downloadable at http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/boot.zip (Cyanoboot is the file flashing_boot.img) in place of the current version in the /boot partition of your CM SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 General] androidkking:
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is shipping with a LoJack-style security feature that allows users to track a lost or stolen Samsung Galaxy S4 even after a hard reset.

Samsung enhanced the security of the Galaxy S4 with a partnership with Absolute, a company well-known for making notebook security software, and the feature is rolling out with the Galaxy S4 as part of Samsung KNOX.

Compared to Apple’s Find My iPhone feature, the Galaxy S4 will offer a more robust tracking solution. Thieves can restore the iPhone to disable Find My iPhone, but Absolute’s firmware-persistence technology on the Samsung Galaxy S4 lives at a firmware level, which means a hard reset will not cancel a user’s ability to track or remotely wipe the Galaxy S4.

[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Question is. Will both the Snapdragon and Octa have it? Will the US versions have it?

For some reason the US versions do not have the remote controls like my i9300 does. I have a feeling this feature will be lacking in some of the SGS4 just like the SGS3s.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:

Could still go either way:

"The details for

, but Absolute will be built into the Samsung Galaxy S4 firmware as part of Samsung KNOX on

all devices

."

But one can always hope :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
What do you guys think you need it for? What it does really has no benefit for an individual user. It's not meant to be a simple "find/wipe my phone" tool and requires a server side component to even work.

Samsung KNOX™ is the comprehensive

enterprise mobile solution

for work and play. With the increasing use of smartphones in businesses, Samsung KNOX™ addresses the

mobile security needs of enterprise IT

without invading the privacy of its employees.​

Here's the brochure from the Samsung Business site.

That's a useful feature and really should be integrated into all phones.
[Galaxy S 4 General] androidkking:
knox is the standard feature of SGS4..!! it will be in every device, using it or not will be the option given to user..!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung already has a consumer solution...

That can't be used without additional server-side s/w. Are you going to set up this environment just so you can use Knox? If the answer's no, you won't be using Knox even though the client may be installed on the phone. And, since it's a business product, there's nothing to confirm that the Knox client is going to ship pre-installed on consumer SGS4's where it would useless. It may have to be installed by a company's IT department on Samsung phones they plan to control remotely. We'll never know because Knox won't even be mentioned in Samsung's consumer marketing and support info.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's what was said in the release article...

With the same technology used in Computrace LoJack for Laptops, Galaxy users can track, manage and secure their device.

This solution is aimed at business and enterprise users.

The details for personal users are still shaping up, but Absolute will be built into the Samsung Galaxy S4 firmware as

part of Samsung KNOX on all devices

.​

Consumers won't be able to use Knox without server side s/w that they'll have no access to. It sets up dual partitions on the phone; one for business related files that are controlled by enterprise IT and a second for a user's personal data. Enterprise IT has complete control over the phone down to the bootloader level. Why would any consumer want or need that type of environment on their personal-only device even if they could somehow manage to do it? If Absolute Software comes up with a way of enabling the functionality without the need for Knox it could be used on consumer devices. But "still shaping up" doesn't make it seem likes it's around the corner. And if the solution they come up with doesn't offer control of the bootloader it'll be no different than Samsung's current solution, Dive, which does all the same things except withstand a hard reset.

ATT: "Whoops! Sorry guys the Galaxy S4 is $199 w/ 2-yr contract after all" (not $249)

http://blogs.att.net/consumerblog/story/a7788764

On March 28th, AT&T made a said a statement saying pre-orders for the Galaxy S 4 started at

$249

w/ a two year contract. I thought that either ATT (or Samsung) was becoming cocky as hell and were going to make $249 the new standard price for the base model of flagship phones :(

Apparently that was just an oversight and the $249 is for the 32 gb version. The 16gb base version is still just $199 w/ 2 year contract (as it should be) :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan37tz:
If they charged $249 for the phone I wouldn't call that cocky.

I mean the phone is at least twice as good as the iPhone5 so they should have charged twice as much. Make it $399 with 2 year contract. That's just my opinion =)
[Galaxy S 4 General] ap3604:
As a consumer I detest standard setting price increases and won't condone them. You know why? Because even more price increases down the line :(

If a company doesn't mind giving the customer the middle finger and setting the price at $249 with 2-yr contract for 16gb... you can bet your *** that they wouldn't have any issues increasing the price either next year or the year after to $299 with 2-yr contract as the new standard :mad:

Glad everything turned out ok though :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] JasonJoel:
Re: ATT: "Whoops! Sorry guys the Galaxy S4 is $199 w/ 2-yr contract after all" (not $

You can't blame AT&T for getting the max amount of money they think their customer base will pay. They are a business, that's what they do.

Customers can accept it, or vote with their wallet. If everyone will pay $250, then AT&T would be dumb not to charge it.

So don't blame AT&T, blame consumers that are willing to overpay for products...

Re: ATT: "Whoops! Sorry guys the Galaxy S4 is $199 w/ 2-yr contract after all" (not $

samsung made the s4 in 236 $ and they are selling it for around 850 $ international variant. this is already overpriced. you want them to make it more expensive. OH God
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dannar:
Re: ATT: "Whoops! Sorry guys the Galaxy S4 is $199 w/ 2-yr contract after all" (not $

Let's not forget the "upgrade" fee of $36. It's already just about $250 with contract.

It's starting to be really one sided towards the carrier here. $250 plus an upgrade fee is nearly $300, which is half the price of a new smartphone.

This might be worth it if we're talking yearly upgrades, but we aren't. And then we pay a higher fee for service, because it's supposed to subsidize us getting a phone "for a steal." We get no reduction in price for providing our own handset or when we're past our contract.

With that, maybe now you can see why any price increase is ridiculous.

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Most importantly lets not forget taxes. Taxes will be charged at the full price of the phone, not at $200. So if the phone cost $549.99 then you'll pay the taxes for that price in your state.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jtc276:
Re: ATT: "Whoops! Sorry guys the Galaxy S4 is $199 w/ 2-yr contract after all" (not $

I usually call AT&T and use the VIP customer card to get the $36 taken off. However, it doesn't always work, and that's when I have to threaten to take the phone back, cancel existing lines, and move to Verizon. After that, they're usually happy to get rid of that $36 fee.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Baldilocks:
That means Best Buy will probably sell it for even less, AND with a LOT better warranty. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] zoso28:
The 16GB model is gonna be $199, the 32G $250 & at&t will be the only carrier getting the 64G but he didnt have a price on that, although I suspect it'll be $300
[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
That's one of the reasons I am waiting to see the exact pricing on these phones before buy one. I want to purchase on at full price so I can get it unlocked. Carriers such as AT&T should provide plan discounts for people that own their own device and don't need to subsidize it. There should be a $20 per month discount in such cases. But there isn't. I don't want to get into another 2 year contract, with a locked phone but customers paying 100% for their phones up front are getting screwed. The entire argument for carriers charging so much for data plans is that they are also paying for the subsidizing of the phones. So for a 2 year contract (or time frame), a person that buys their own phone is paying an extra $240 more than a person subsidizing. And at an upfront price of $700.00 for a phone (just an example) vs. someone subsidizing at $200.00, there is another $500.00 more. So in a 2 year time frame people that buy their phones might pay as much as $740.00 or more because they bought a phone instead of subsidized. Samsung will get the same money regardless. It is AT&T that is making the extra profits.

Ill be getting the 32gb model. $250 is a good price. Then ill sell my note 2 for around $500. Cha ching!

What is Best Buys warranty? Is there a deductible?

I might just stick with my credit card doubling the warranty and maybe getting a better warranty through them. It's like $60 from my memory.
[Galaxy S 4 General] slapdaddy:
Re: ATT: "Whoops! Sorry guys the Galaxy S4 is $199 w/ 2-yr contract after all" (not $

There isn't a deductible for a warranty. You only have a deductible for insurance. I'm not sure what kind of warranty or insurance BB offers though.

I do have a question that I hope someone can answer though.

When you upgrade at BB and you're part of a family plan and have a data plan that is no longer offered by AT&T (grandfathered in), can you still keep that data plan or do they change it?

No $36 activation fee. 30 day return policy w no restocking fee. 1 year best buy warranty but it already comes with 1 year by default from samsung. Price match before puchase or after purchase up to 30 days.

Re: ATT: "Whoops! Sorry guys the Galaxy S4 is $199 w/ 2-yr contract after all" (not $

You can keep your data plan. For example if you have the $15 200mb plan or $25 2gb plan you can keep it. If its ever taken off for some reason, you cannot put it back on since they don't exist anymore. Same goes for the $30 unlimited plan. Also, BestBuy has changed their return policy to 14 days to return, 15 days to exchange. They also do NOT price match contract cellphones anymore.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Dannar:
It ain't that. Most of us understand how business works, and have no problem paying for something we want.

What I'm complaining about is AT&T's (and all major US carriers by extension, sans T Mo) business model of arbitrary fees and phone "subsidies."

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[Galaxy S 4 General] htcplussony:
T-Mobile for sure works for those that like to out right pay for phones often :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] RTBee:
And if you opted for the buy back plan from BB, you can trade in your S3 (going for around $300 US right now) :good:

I did this going from my Captivate to the S3. Thru BB. I kept my unlimited data plan and opted for the buy-back so I wouldn't have to wait for my 2-yr contract to be over.

Hoping this will just sweeten the whole Samsung/Best Buy experience. I'm a fan. :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
I t hink I can sell my i9300 on ebay or Craigslist for $400 or more.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
T-Mobile's not as "un" as it appears. Here are the numbers after six months canceling a contract on AT&T and never having one on T-Mobile. I thought it was kind of interesting. The total device cost makes a big difference and the AT&T example was a price match to Amazon Wireless for a SGS3.

As for the system being broken, people have had choices even before T-Mobile's mostly marketing play to buck the system. You have always been able to get any of AT&T's post-paid plans without a term commitment provided you either BYOD or buy it outright. A "contract" only applies if you have them subsidize your device. Selling a $550 phone for $79 then letting people walk away after 60 days with no penalty wouldn’t make very much business sense. ;) With Walmart spending almost as much as AT&T/VZW advertising their MVMO "StraightTalk" it's not like people don't know there are other options. People like free and highly subsidized phones which is why MVNO's are 10% of the market. I think more people would scream if subsidies were taken away than if the current system were left in place.

And here’s a fun fact. T-Mobile’s VARS can’t sell the “no contract” plans and will continue to sell subsidized phones on T-Mobile. The VARS get a big chunk of the 24 months of wireless service fees as commission and receive it up front after the remorse period ends. So T-Mobile can’t pay them a commission on 24 months of wireless service if a subscriber is allowed to just walk away at will. So T-Mobile’s actually competing with their VARS. That should be interesting to watch.
[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
The problem is, as I understand it, the monthly cost of the BYOD plans is the same as the monthly cost of the subsidized plan. If I own my device, why do I have to pay the same as someone that is subsidizing a device? By all rights it should be at least $20 a month cheaper because I have already paid for my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DarkMage619:
Has this been verified? I know that the HTC One 64 GB is exclusive to at&t (big mistake HTC) but I didn't know the GS4 64GB was exclusive too. I'd hate to miss out on this phone because I am not on at&t.

The Dark One
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Very true. But the reason I pay more for AT&T is their global roaming agreements, cheap (relatively) international data packages, free WayPort access, and (for me) better U.S. network performance. One trip abroad based on data costs would make AT&T cheaper for me for an entire year compared to T-Mobile's global roaming charges. But, I'm obviously not the norm. Hopefully, T-Mobile's "move" will goose AT&T in to offering something more attractive for the BYOD crowd. Out of curiosity, how many of you AT&T'rs are enticed enough by T-Mobile's "un-plans" to consider leaving?
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Why is it a big mistake on HTC part? AT&T is the biggest cellular network in America and I'm sure that they gave HTC a sweet contract deal to have the exclusive rights to having the 64GB version. It's a possible win win for the both of them. AT&T gets more customers and they load up with more stock on the 64GB version plus a bonus of whatever AT&T is giving HTC.

I guess it sucks for others that don't have AT&T.
