I would definitely say its a good phone. And to be honest, I don't feel custom Roms are needed. With jxd for example, custom Roms are a necessity, but ireadygo has made a really good one here. Not only that but they release updates frequently, one more today actually, that are done via WiFi painlessly. Can't recommend this phone enough, provided you don't mind the size.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Yeah I understand that it is just I have a love for theming mainly :o Guess i could download the update .zip and theme that... hmm...

It's hard to get reliable information on the size, would you mind sharing the dimensions of the product? :)
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
I don't have exact sizes to hand but I'd say its just a bit smaller than a PS vita as I keep mine in a vita case and its a very good fit. Hope that helps
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
That helps thanks, a vita size would be the biggest id go aha :)

Look what arrived yesterday [MENTION=2857649]ozzmanj1[/MENTION] :laugh:

DX actually honoured some of their orders! Absolute steal at £29! Seems DX have done some product testing too as the units came well charged and with a QA PASSED sticker attached, which the Willgoo and other resellers didnt have. Everything seems to work, screen is responsive all over, all sticks and buttons work. DX have really been good here. :victory:

Still might sell it though as I love my Much i5.

On another note, how was the Xiaomi phone in the end? I know you didnt like the over saturated nature of the screen but in general how was it?

I'm really tempted to go for the Xioami Mi3.... Tegra 4 in a phone....... its an ANIMAL!!!!! lol
[Xperia Play General] insane5125:
Where and how much are you going to sell it?
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Okay so I'm getting my Much i5s tomorrow!

Anybody who's got this phone give me any tips of what I should do first to set it up? is it gonna be already in english or do i need to go into settings etc.

I'll record both my PLAY and MUCHi5s playing games and that later tomorrow and upload them then for comparisons for people, any games you want me to play for you say now so I can sort that out asap ^^
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Sorry for the late reply mate. It went on Friday. It lasted less than 2 weeks. Quality was atrocious compared to my much i5. Screen had a weird deep warm hue to it, buttons were cheap as hell, dpad was spongy. Overall, despite being less powerful, I prefer my much a hundred times over and although I no longer use it as a phone it still gets used daily, and battery life is immense!

Greetings, its been a month since we have a fully functional CM10 build ( ofc few minor issues, but its not a trouble from using it ) and now i'm wondering, why no other roms are emerging, there are ****loads of them PAC-man, Paranoid Android, AOKP and more and more and more... Well we have MIUI port, but i don't like MIUI since is too laggy and too hard to use for daily phone... So my question would be, are there are any devs at all, who can port PAC-man or Paranoid Android to L7 ? ( i was trying myself, but all i achieved was a bootloop ) Couse i feel kinda desperate since our device have everything what is being needed for roms to emerge, but there arent any... ( apart from ugly and laggy miui, which one i hate )

I'm confused as to why this thread would be closed. It is a general note 2 thread in the note 2 forum.

But this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2134987

Exact same subject remains open and has been.

This is the worst forum I've ever been a part of on XDA.

A thread is no bigger than a post in terms of hard drive space. So it can't be a "taking up too much space"

There are too many wannabe hall monitors complaining over nonsense.

[General Questions and Answers] observingman:
Hello,

I've installed the Racing Bean v3.1 on my Xperia Arc S. However, I'm having mono video recording on "Camera ICS".

This is one of the first things I'm changing everytime I install a new ICS rom, because by default I always change the file media_profiles.xml on /system/etc, section <AudioEncoderCap... to have maxChannels="2".

This always works for me to fix stereo video recording on other roms, but not for Racing Bean. I suppose that this is caused by Camera ICS.

How can I fix this ? I would like to have my videos in Stereo because i like it a lot. Is it related to editing another config file ? Can I revert to some other 'stock' camera ?

Another problem I've found is that the feature 'Silly faces' on Camera ICS always crashes. I CAN live without it :cyclops:

Thanks in advance !
[General Questions and Answers] Bagne:
I think you should post this question in racing bean's thread, i believe there's answer in there,

It will be better if you mention what other ROM that you used, and the kernel.

do some search in the thread first though.

Cheers :o

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fix-this!:
This is my 2nd n7 "wifi model" Despite trying different roms and kernels i get lag, bad battery life and weird rendering, especially on websites. I usualy do not overclock and i use stock voltage. Right now im running carbonrom + the dmore kernel. Its weird becuase carbon runs flawless on my note 2.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
I'm not sure how to advise somebody with over 1400 posts to their name... but here goes... I suggest you boot into recovery and clear CACHE and DALVIK... and reboot.

(I use TWRP... but I assume there would be similar options in CWM)...

This clears a lot of crap out... and upon reboot you should see the following message (after the boot animation)...

'Android is upgrading... optimising app 69 of 209'... and so on and so forth, until DALVIK is rebuilt again.

I have experienced some speed gains by doing this intermittently.

-------

You should also check out this app...

LagFix (fstrim) -

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en

This helps a lot.

-------

With regard to battery life...

Turn OFF everything you don't use... Google enables a lot of stuff by default.

So, in...

SETTINGS>>WIRELESS & NETWORKS>>WIFI>(Menu)>>KEEP WIFI ON DURING SLEEP... set to NEVER.

SETTINGS>>WIRELESS & NETWORKS>>BLUETOOTH... disable.

SETTINGS>>WIRELESS & NETWORKS>>More... disable NFC.

SETTINGS>>DISPLAY... disable auto-brightness, and manually set your own level.

SETTINGS>>DISPLAY... set SLEEP to as short a time as tolerable.

SETTINGS>>BACKUP & RESET... disable 'Backup my Data' to Google servers, if you have backups elsewhere.

SETTINGS>>ACCOUNTS>>Your Google Account...disable auto synchronization of anything you don't use.

So any these these...

CALENDER, CHROME, CONTACTS, GMAIL, GOOGLE CURRENTS, GOOGLE PHOTOS, GOOGLE PLAY BOOKS, GOOGLE PLAY MAGAZINES, GOOGLE PLAY MOVIES, GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC - they're all enabled by default!

-------

Beyond these tips, and my own custom ROM/KERNEL recommendation (see SIG), I can only add that I have never experienced any serious lag on my Nexus 7... even with factory stock.

-------

I tend to get around 7 hours screen time over two days.... from one charge... which I don't think is that bad really.

Hope this helps....

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
More detail would help a lot.

Does it lag after a clean install before losing any apps

Are you restoring apps - if so how

How are you flashing (wipes, etc)

Does it lag on stock

What launcher are you using

Is there an app in particular that lags

And anything else that might be helpful

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:
Hello, I'm new to the OS and I've noticed that while my screen has only been on for 40 minutes it looks like my phones been awake for 3 hours. I'm assuming this means I have a wakelock issue. Whats the best way to identify/stop these?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] spitfire2425:
If it is there's wakelock finding apps. Better battery stats works. It may be the stock governer or something is causing some nasty battery drain.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] agalvin13:
im impressed that some one new to android even knows what a wakelock is.

I second using BBS to identify the wakelock. Also, go into account settings - google account and turn off sync for all of the services you dont use or need to auto sync. Music and currents are known culprits.

if you are rooted... get an app called greenify. it suspends background activity while the screen is off for apps that you chose to greenify. It makes apps perform like an iphone app would. The beauty is that you get to chose which apps you want to run in the background and which you do not.

hope that helps.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gridlock489:
Using the app Autostarts will allow you to disable many background processes that usually cause wakelocks. Find out what is the problem with better battery stats, and then disable most of the "events" triggered by that app. Most of the time it's Maps-related, and disabling the autostarts for Maps will help. Turn off location history to save even more battery life.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:
thank you both that helps quite a bit

If you have the donate version of greenify, it will receive GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) notifications and allow these to display. I greenify my facebook and still get plenty of notifications from Facebook.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheXth:
I've been looking through various threads for the past hour or so, and I feel as if my situation was unique enough to warrant a post/plea for help.

I was in the middle of attempting to flash the VRALEC Bootchain via ODIN mode on my device, and in the middle, someone managed to knock the device off of the wire. Since then, I haven't been able to boot the device on. The reason I'm not in full panic mode is because the computer I'm using still senses that it's there, without pulling up the SD Card or the Phone under My Computer. I've already been through many threads where people can force it into Download mode (home button + volume up + powerr), but I cannot even get the device to pull the screen up. I hope this means that my device is soft-bricked, instead of hard-bricked.

Any advice or methods of repairing my phone would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmk92:
I have had my Note II since launch and I have always had the stock ROM installed. I kind of miss vanilla Android OS from my Nexus so I'm looking into flashing a brand new vanilla stock rom, I have absolutely no time to look into finding the best combination of kernel/rom/radio.etc to get the best out of the note in vanilla.

What combination of ROM/Kernel/Radio..etc did you guys find best to run on the Note II and get its full potential with good stability/battery life? I use my phone heavily for productivity and I don't care much for games.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMrcool212:
Use AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod , AOKP, Paranoid Android etc. Use a kernel that will save your battery. Make sure it is compatible with the rom. You can find it in development section
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmk92:
Ya I know, but which ROM out of all these coupled with a decent kernel(stock maybe) gives me the best overall experience? Has anyone tried using the Paranoid droid as their primary daily driver?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
I'm sorry to say that they are all great but for different reasons. While I've toyed with AOKP and PA, it's CyanogenMod that fulfills my needs the best. My reasoning is that I am looking for a clean and simple experience in my AOSP roms. While the others may give more options, CyanogenMod make the greatest effort to stay within Google design guidelines for Android. Overall this gives the rom a feeling of being cleaner and less cluttered than the others.

Kernel wise I've found neak, perseus, and Red pill are all great. Currently using neak because the configuration app is (again) simpler than stweaks (which the other two use).

I`m on ICS gsm razr with TWRP installed, but I'd like to install CWM to restore a stock backup made last year with it, because I think I somehow bricked my stock slot rom......

No success trying to install CWM with Rom Manager, so I'd like to know if there's any way to install a CWM zip via stock recovery...

If yes, will I lose TWRP? And is there a stock recovery flashable TWRP zip so I can go back eventually?

My usb connection isn't working, so I can't flash stock via RSD.

I'm guessing that my usb problem is related to my stock slot rom issue, because even when charging it acts weird, not even charging sometimes...

Woul be thankful for any help!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
Dont try to install CWM recovery using Rom Manager! Use eitheir Safetrap by Hashcode (based on TWRP) or Boot Menu Manager by whirleyes (based on TWRP). If you have usb problem, so nothing you can do. I suggest you to buy a usb cable. So you can flash the Stock rom.

You're not getting it... Already tried to install CWM via Rom Manager and BMM, but no success... Seems like TWRP persists after I try to install CWM...

And I've already tried a usb cable my friend, my issue is exacty that my phone doesn't get recovgnized by my computer...

So, can someone point me a zip CWM/TWRP file that can be used to install custom reco very via stock recovery?

That's all I ask and I''l be very thankful!

No, you cant install a zip file from stock recovery unless it was signed from Motorola. This phone are different with other phones. What do you mean by TWRP recovery? Is it Safestrap or what?

Safetrap will install Team Win Project Recovery (TWRP), while Bootmenu and Rom Manager install ClockWork Mod Recovery (CWM), right?

I need to boot into CWM Recovery, caus I have a backup I made there that could fix my usb issue and allow me to go back to stock... But the issue is that I've got safestrap (TWRP) installed, and i can only boot into safestrap. Tried to install BootMenu and even Rom Manager, but haven't managed to boot into CWM...
