[Mobile Ad Networks] Beppi's:
In my apps I see that it depends for a big number of factors that I did not focus yet.

overall my app have an eCPM of 0.35$ and a CTR of 0.59%, but as I said it depends a lot. Another app I made, for example, has a lot of downloads more than Wooords, but it earns very little. I started thinking that it is due to the fact that the screen is horizontal. Others may have less clicks due to the target that download it, or because the app is a short-use app (that you keep there but use rarely for a short period of time). I really couldn't know how to understand that better.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Paulie Pham:
I got the same problem too but eventually solve it. The incident made me wonder: "should I always depend on Admob?".

So I decide to combine several Ad networks. It works. And I realize something about Admob:

Pros: It is reliable and has huge users database. Admob is backed by Google - a prestigious corporation who tracks every steps of anyone who use its service.

Cons:

- Its eCPM is low (I don't know exactly why but everytime I try another Ad network, they outperform Admob in terms of eCPM. I guess that Admob know it has advantages over competitors when it comes to reputation and users database, so It charge advertisers and publishers more)

- Its ban users more frequently. (Some of my friends' accounts got banned because Google thinks they was cheating, while infact he didn't. It was very difficult for him to reach Google support to recover his accounts).

after combining Admob and with Airpush, Leadbolt, StartApp, ChartBoost, I end up with Adsota - a lesser known ad network. Adsota is an has much higher eCPM, 100% fill-rate, and swift payment. You can find it by googling "ads.appota".

Best of luck, mate!

I would like to flash the Jelly bean update for the Xperia J on my phone and I wanted to ask which one do you guys suggest?

I would like one that does not have bloatware.

And also could you please provide me with the link?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
look in general section and choose the unbranded ftf. or follow the root jb tutorials because you have to flash the jb as a pre rooted zip to have root theres tutorials for locked & unlocked bootloaders
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] layup23:
Great!

That's done!

Now I only need to root it.

Is it possible to root it without flashing a pre rooted zip?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
no not yet bro still waiting for one. Don't forget to press thanks aswel as saying it :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] layup23:

[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
I bought my N4 on 22-3-13.

it is a great device and i tried calibrating the screen before sending it in.

i had a REV11 unit.

anyway my problem was that i was having really yellowish tint on all screen but specially from left lower corner.

but the most annoying were the huge black spots especially on the upper side-center of the screen.

ok i did not worry cause some told me that that was just glue waiting to dry (well that is just BS).

the spots became larger and easier to spot when phone was getting hot( normal hot) and my eys were getting tired by that ( i guess because knowing where it is was making me concentate on that).

so i sent it to LG service here in Greece-Athens explaining the problem and along with the phone i sent a comparison pictire with another N4 of a friend.

their response toward me was " We see nothing. it is perfect. we are sending it back to you"!

lol. i asked them to keep it and contacted the customer protection agency.

2 days later LG calls me and says they are exchanging my motherboard. i asked them why, 2 days earlier you found nothing?

the responded it was the fault for the bad screen.

so they sent it back and guess what, the problem is still there and they sent a REV10 which i δon't minδ that but the previous board was flawless.

so now i am very pissed and will send it back on monday but to conclude, how dumb do you have to be not to exchange the screen and instead chang the MB when it is clearly the fault of that?

P.S: which one you think looks better?
[Nexus 4 General] kalo88:
The left one for sure is better
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
that is my point. they said it is the same. everyone i have asked say the same.

also a third one looks just like the left one. great
[Nexus 4 General] FormerSlacker:
Personally, I don't see a problem with either. There will always be minor variations with screens.

If you want to be really picky about things, the left one that's "better" has a blueish hue on the top 1/3rd of the screen. I'd rather take the right one, but that's the point it's all subjective.
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
It looks like gamma variation. IMO the right one looks better. It looks like it has deeper blacks.
[Nexus 4 General] Visa Declined:
Are the brightness levels the same on both of the phones in that picture?

I know there are screen variances with this phone, though many don't believe. My coworkers Nexus 4 scree has washed out colors, whites aren't white, and just plain doesn't look as good as all of the others I've seen.

Some reviews you see on the web talk about the screen of the N4 seeming washed out. My phone isn't washed out in the slightest bit.
[Nexus 4 General] ingenious247:
it's not even close.. the one on the left looks great, the one on the right looks like sh*t

You'd have to be blind not to admit that.
[Nexus 4 General] Hyflex:
I just replicated the exact same thing with my friend's N4.

1) Gamma/Saturation can make it look exactly how yours do.

2) Brightness, I've got one set low and one set high and they do the same as what yours do...
[Nexus 4 General] BrianDigital:
I like the one on the right
[Nexus 4 General] shook187:
Personally seeing issues like this makes me understand why companies lock bootloaders, and try to chase away modders like most on XDA. We are the most pickiest of all cell phone uses. We create problems that don't really exist and brick more phones than anybody else.

Having two phones with two different color tint is perfectly normal it happens all the time with big screen TVs. A manufactured doesn't always use the same supplier to supply a LCD screen Hance the different color tint.

Just get on with your life enjoy the phone and stop looking at a white screen
[Nexus 4 General] jdh10475:
+1

I was in the cell phone industry for over 10 years and this is a normal variation. Literally it happens all the time you probably might not have noticed if you had not had two phones next to each other. If you had brought that back to my store we would have told you it was normal. If phone manufacturers replaced phones for minor variations they would not be. If you don't like it sell it.
[Nexus 4 General] Underground_XI:
Yellow tint goes away after one week of using the device. Or root it and put your own screen values.
[Nexus 4 General] ingenious247:
If they did that successfully, your phone would suck bro. The "modders"as you so elegantly put it are the reason things improve. Don't believe me? Look at how many 3rd apps turned into features that Android uses now as part of their OS. Linux is beautiful because of open source and sharing ideas. Go buy an iPhone and "get on with your life". It's consumers like you that allow mfgs to cram crap down your throat
[Nexus 4 General] shook187:
Nothing against "modders" as I'm one myself. And I do appreciate the work that some have done on certain devices. But I mostly talking about the nitpicking, OCD'ing flashaholic that return devices after devices for minor imperfections like a squeaking volume rocker or yellowish tint, I can name a million more things but lets leave it at that.

it is not only the colors, it is the black spots too if you read my OP. they make my eyws suffer just by knowing they are there.

it is not a taboo to ask what you payed for, which is an perfect working gadget. and i payed almost 500 euro for that.
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
just so you know i am in the mobile phone industry.

i have a service center for mobile phones. i do not want to mention which one i represent.

i am not talking about color variations or lcd suppliers, i tried to calibrate it, but nevermind that, as i keep on saying the spots make the difference.

and i never asked the service to change the MB. i was very specific describing the problem.
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
you can just peel the mylar of the on/off button and scratch it or clean it with glass fiber.

remont the mylar, remont the switch, assembly the phone.

should be working

Once everything is loaded up. Things are good!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jayzun:
Are you on Sense ROM? Just tried this on CM10.1 and it still says not supported. Do you also have to change ro.product.name, ro.product.device, ro.product.board, ro.product.manufacturer?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swagstr:
I am, post your build.prop and we'll see if we can fix it. Lol just realized Tapatalk thinks I'm using a Note 2 too.

Viper4G....did the flash version and now facebook appears in the app drawer but getting the unsupported device message will try to redo.

EDIT : still says device unsupported. My build.prop lines are accurate, not sure where I've gone wrong worked for everyone else.:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gzbrambila:
Didn't work for me either on MeanBean latest. My FB and FB Messenger got updated today, and they have the chatheads now. But the FB Home app keeps saying device not supported after following both methods.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] s1ckb0y76:
I have this working on SuperJelly. I installed the Facebook home apk and when you launch the app from the app drawer it says that Facebook needs to be upgraded and has a link, I chose that and it went to Google Play and says "device not supported". Then I used a text editor to open my build.prop and changed the following 3 lines that said JEWEL to endeavoru (the One X)

ro.product.name=endeavoru

ro.product.device=endeavoru

ro.product.mode=endeavoru

saved the changes and reboot. Launched Facebook home from the app drawer again and this time it prompted me to upgrade Facebook again and I followed the link. It actually launched Facebook but this time button to enable Facebook Home, after selecting that it asked to to choose a launcher...Sense or Home, chose Home and it signed me out and then back in to Facebook. Pressed the HTC home key and it worked like a charm. Changed the normal settings in Facebook Home, enabled Messenger to act as the default sms app and it's all set.

Reverted the 3 lined in the build prop back to JEWEL just so all my ROM settings and such work, reboot and Facebook Home is now installed and working on EVO LTE.

So I basically set my phone to be recognized as the One X to perform the install and changed it back to EVO and the app still works. Guess it only checks build.prop for verification of compatible device on install and not for use.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] s1ckb0y76:
Pres the + in the lower left of your conversation in Messenger, gives you options to Choose pic, take one, or image search.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigslanki:
That option goes away for me in conversation ..just has emoticons... Its available before selecting receiver.

Seems you can only send to fb users and not phone contacts
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] s1ckb0y76:
Odd, works just fine for me. Try putting your build.prop back. It might be looking for Samsung Contacts instead of HTC People since you device is being recognized as The Note II

What you need:

- all com.discretix.drm classes from stock framework.jar (need to merge approx 100 string/values from stock framework-res, and need to remap all resource id in the decompiled code)

- some adjustment in the 2.1 semcmusic app (need to correct some layout/values to get correct look)

- all drm related binaries from stock rom (libdrm.so, libdrm_jni, libdxdrmjava.so, dxdrmserver and some others)

- need a modded mediaprovider

- need to start the drm server from /system/etc/init.local.rc (only with custom kernel)

The only thing that is actually good is the chat heads and the way it can be your text app. multi tasking with texting. Like texting with your girl while you use another app to find a place for dinner without having to back out of either.

Fortunately you dont have to have FB home for this functionality and only need to install FB messenger and update the fb app...

Ya I'm right there with you guys, Facebook Home is not simple and is pretty dang ugly, I think Facebook wasted their time on this when they could just make the android app much for stable

Ok so I tried this out with an open mind. I installed before I went to work today and played with it for about 2 minutes and headed to the sweat shop. 3 hours later I am on my lunch break and pull out my phone to find my battery at 68 percent. It was at 100 when I left the house and I haven't touched it since I got here. Uninstalled. That battery drain is a killer for me.

Chat heads are awesome. The launcher (home) part sucks. Takes over way too much. I' rather see my customized Apex Launcher than some lame cat memes on all over my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neonsector:
pure garbage
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] adelmundo:
I actually use Facebook Home and like it. But I did it more as a hybrid: I use Home as my lockscreen when I turn on/wake my phone via the power button. But I make Touchwiz the default launcher. The scrolling Facebook pics actually look nice (I have pretty cool friends who don't post garbage and hid most of the ones that do post garbage). When I hit the home button, it still defaults to my launcher, so it's pretty easy to get to all my apps and phone functionality. Chat Heads is also an awesome feature, so much so I placed my SMS back into FB Messenger again.

With a little tweaking, I think FB Home can be improved: widget support, customizable actions when you slide your "Bobble," such as going to your phone app, etc.

Several ROMs I have attempted to download get repeated network errors upon completion. They download to 100% but then show an error. I have attempted to d'load the files on several occasional but the situation remains the same. Most recently, I followed the d'load link for the Darthstalker ROM (Hosted on Androidfilehost.com - the d'load would get to 0% and then show an error. This is something I have noticed is consistent with specific ROMs, while others no issue. Any answers to this particular problem?

I'm still puzzled as to why this is not a standard feature of Android... After trying all there is on the market (even paid ones, for 15 minutes), I chose Grouptone. Some might not like that it sits in memory, but for me, that's a plus as it I don't have to remember to run it every time I assign a contact to a different group. I only wish it could handle (prioritize) multiple group membership. If more people would send this feature request to the author, perhaps he could look into it. He did fix a bug for me relatively quickly, when I found one.
