[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
I'm considering putting a ROM on a friend's device that is not familiar with any sort of troubleshooting but is a reasonable upgrade over stock. If that's not possible I'm fine with that. No bugs preferred. Features aren't that important but the phone lags a lot stock so a speed boost would be nice.

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
I typically refrain from "advertising" (even in my own thread - hah) since there are many many fine works to choose from out here crafted by a lot of very dedicated and amazing developers, but in this case I think I'll break my rule and see if my ROM would fit your needs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2088224

My ROM is pretty basic, it tries to mimick the AOSP/Galaxy Nexus as best as possible for the Fascinate, with only a few customizations. I can't say it's 100% bug free, that would be silly (lol), but the latest version (GeeWiz 4.4 + 2 patches) is very solid/stable in my opinion. I think it's a good fit here since it can be applied as a direct stock replacement using ODIN and doesn't change anything that would cause problems going back to stock again if it's not what your friend was expecting.

I'm not sure the "speed" will impress, but it does pretty well considering it's Jelly Bean 4.2 running on a device that came with Eclair :silly: There are some built-in optimizations you can enable like overclocking the CPU to 1.2GHz that help smooth it out, and I've done a lot of work on the kernel to ensure as little wasted CPU % as possible. Battery life will also be less impressive than your friend is used to on stock, but again I think it's pretty darn good given that we are well beyond what the Fascinate was designed for at this point!

If you want a mildly enhanced Gingerbread experience, you can also try my GeeWiz v2.9.2 here at XDA. It's retired and I no longer actively work on it, but it still gets THOUSANDS of downloads every month (admittedly mostly from China and parts of Africa, I've chosen to not try to understand why - lol).

I don't want to drone on, but I want to add something else ... ANY of the ROMs out here should blow your friend's mind! I only recommend my own because it sounds like a good fit for your needs and could be an easier sell for you since it strives for a stock-like experience.

Every dev out here is friendly and will help you if you run into problems

, so perhaps the best way to go is peruse the selection in the development thread and see what you think! There are really no "bad" choices to be made here.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
I'm impressed how helpful you are. How much difference in battery life are we talking here? I put a jellybean rom on my galaxy tab 7 and it lasts for a month easy on standby, so I know it can vary greatly with custom ROMs.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
Ugh, that's always a tough one to answer :D Maybe 10%-15%? It's really hard to say since it depends on how the device is used. Some stuff like active Bluetooth definitely takes more juice, whereas Wifi takes less. The screen takes more since JB requires the kernel to maintain a VSYNC (Vertical Sync) signal and it will enable the accelerometer device whenever the screen is on for auto-rotation support (if you turn off auto-rotate it's smart enough to disable the accelerometer). Pretty much anything you actively do with the device will require more battery than it did, there's lots more code in JB, fancier graphics to animate, etc.

There is also one application, Google Play Music, that I have listed as a "Known Issue" when it comes to battery life. For some reason/bug in it's album art downloader, it can get itself stuck in a loop and trash the battery in a matter of hours. I tracked it down to the mentioned album art service when an external SD card is installed, and told Google, but that's all I could do for that. I recommend disabling Google Play Music and replacing it with a better music player!

I wish I had a more concrete answer for this one, but "it depends" is about as good as I can do. If your friend is getting well more than a day out of the phone now, he should probably be OK if charging every night is acceptable. If he's already battery-challenged, I think it may be a frustrating experience for him.

For what it's worth, here are the most two recent battery life screenshots I have. Note: These are with a

brand new

battery ($14 - amazon) and really only show standby with Wifi ON times, which is what I was testing. Basically indicative of the absolute maximum battery life possible, not real world usage.

Hope this was enough to help with your decision!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbrad:
Geewiz is probably the most stable by far :) great battery life and as you can see great developer
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeyhaughty:
There are so many recommended ROMs now, it almost seems like too many choices. (It's a good "problem". I'm not complaining.) I tend to find one based on reviews and recommendations and stick with it, rather than flashing through a bunch. I've been using MIUI from GB to JB, but sadly development seems to have ceased.

I had been eyeing Stephen.k.spear's AOKP PUB as a replacement, but development seems to have ceased there as well. Looks like the torch was picked up by bbrad's AOKP, but browsing that thread opened the floodgates to other ROMs such as Liquidsmooth, Carbonrom, SuperNexus, etc, etc, etc, as well as Geewiz mentioned here. Can anyone provide an overview comparison (stability, features, other pros/cons...) between some of these ROMs? (What exactly is the difference in stability of "by far"?)

Also, at some point around ICS, there was a change in file system and/or structure that allowed MIUI to hold a lot more apps than previously. (I think it had to do with MTD, but not 100% sure.) Can I assume most ROM's have this expanded capability now? Does Geewiz have it? I noticed it uses a different file system. Thank you.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
I am one of those people who really likes a stable rom and I would really recommend you try Helly Bean. It's been by far the most stable and feature packed rom I've ever used. I'm not trashing any of the other roms we have, but I've tried almost all of them and I always come back to Helly Bean.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeyhaughty:
Unfortunately I can't ask in the ROM thread, so I'll ask here... Which version of gapps do I flash for Helly Bean? The thread points to 20121130, but there seems to be a more recent version 20130301 at goo.im. Also, droidstyle's guide mentions inverted gapps. Does that work with Helly Bean? If so, are they flashed after the regular gapps, or instead of them? Thanks so much.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbrad:
Flash the ones from goo.im and as for the inverted you just flash them like regular gapps

[Motorola Atrix HD] viera_ritz:
OK hi guys, I've done a couple of searches and didn't come up with anything so I wanted to be safe than sorry. I have an AT&T atrix HD and love it but I did the JB update and waited for the bootloader unlock and root 1 click methods. Well when I got the phone it was ICS and I want to revert it to back to ICS for lapdock support and I just kinda liked the feel of it. Now my major question is if I do the downgrade am I gonna lose my SIM unlock because I currently do not have the money to get me an unlock code. Thanks for your help guys it is very much appreciated
[Motorola Atrix HD] howard bamber:
If it was locked in the first place then , yes there is a good chance.

SENT BY POST...
[Motorola Atrix HD] viera_ritz:
Yeah when I got it I was told it had been unlocked, guess I shouldn't have upgraded it but then again I was new to the Atrix scene. The last Motorola I had was the Droid 1
[Motorola Atrix HD] bankanidhi:
I if you are talking about sim unlock then it will never relock once it is unlocked.
[Motorola Atrix HD] viera_ritz:
Yeah we're talking Sim unlocked I have my Atrix unlocked for T-Mobile. So if I won't lose it I want to revert to ICS which is what it was when I bought it
[Motorola Atrix HD] joel_sinbad:
The sim unlock is like unlocking the bootloader... it cannot be reverted. Years ago, many Motorola firmwares could really sim lock again the phone... but i'm talking about the old V3, Z1 and every P2K, P2K05 and MotoMagx phones. But that was on 2004/08!!! Today this is not an issue anymore.
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
I have a ATT unlocked phone I use on Bell/Telus in Canada.

I downgraded to ICS (yes, for the lapdock correct hdmi support;

and by the way, **** you Motorola

)

and the phone is still SIM unlocked

So no you will not loose the SIM unlock by downgrading.
[Motorola Atrix HD] viera_ritz:
Fantastic, question answered and I can't wait to get my lapdock for my birthday and enjoy my Atrix HD even more than I already do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ssmr2t:
Hello Everyone,

I got a refurb unit as a replacement (t989) and I rooted it last night and all is good, but for some odd reason when I try to install TWRP, goomanager just sits and gets stuck. It downloads the .img file, finishes the MD5 check, and when it gets to the “Installing open recovery script” it just sits there loading, and loading and does nothing. I even let it sit for an hour last night but that made no difference. It will either keep going or eventually time out.

I installed a fresh busy box but no help.. Any ideas on what I could do next? I know I could run ADB commands, but I really hate running ADB!!! I suck at dos…suck suck suck.

Thank you!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NamNamNom:
I just bought the nexus 4 and it was running very smooth on stock. But the battery life was kind of bad and the back got hot very fast. I decided to flash faux kernel. Then i set the governor to intellidemand (like many suggested) and didnt touch anything else. Now the phone lags a bit and it heats just as much as stock. Anything i've missed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you have a quad core phone with a glass back, itll get hot with use and youll feel the heat escaping through the back glass. this is normal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NamNamNom:
I mean the actuall battery temp when playing games. What settings do you recomend, like what governor etc?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your battery will get hot too, when playing games, especially when plugged in. what temp is it reaching? how about cpu temp? hot doesnt say much, hot/cold is relative. give me a temperature. i dont use faux kernel, so i cant help you with it. i use trinity kernel at its default(1026mhz, all 4 cores enabled, ondemand/deadline. again, heat is normal. having a glass back just makes it feel like its too hot. the glass is there to cool off the phone, transfer the heat to the atmosphere. if it was plastic or metal, it wouldnt feel as hot. if your phone gets too hot, itll reach the safety shutdown and shut itself off. before that point, thermal throttle kicks in too cool off your device. all thermal throttle does is reduce your cpu speed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krivinash:
I wanted to start the topic about over heating.

My N4 is very hot when i use it normaly. I instaled battery info and i have buld infos. Battery temp. Is about 37°c but it feels like 50°c. Its located around the camera.

Is that normal? Does anybody else have that overheating issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desynch-:
37C is normal. I've seen my battery go up to 46C before heavy throttling, but generally it sits around 35-42C depending on what it is I do. My thermal throttle starts when battery hits 40C.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
overheating isnt an issue for the nexus 4. 37C is normal, the average human body temp is 37C. things "feel" hot on the back because the back is glass. its glass so that it can transfer heat out of the phone quicker. its safe for the battery to get near 60C and for the cpu to get to its cpu shutdown temp(95-100C).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alicklee:
I having the same problem playing ingress while plugged in and I notices the back screen protector shield i got on it has made the heat even worst but it protects it from getting scratched up. o well i guess i have to live with it or install custom kernel with uv and uc
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
while plugged in will get it hotter, plus the back screen protector will prevent heat from escaping..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alicklee:
yeah I know. i just debate if i should take the back protector off i mean i only really worried about the front of the screen. it just took some time to put it on :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
mines naked. the front screen is perfect, but the back glass has micro scratches. im not too worried about the back. the shimmering effect covers the scratches well :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
Both 37c and 50c are normal. You don't have an overheating problem and neither does anyone else on our forums. We reaaaally need a sticky about this. I'm not trying to be an ass about it, but this has been beaten to death. Just because the phone feels warm doesn't mean it's overheating.

[HTC Desire X] mrxperia12:
hello i want to buy either motorola razr d3(which will available worlwide soon) or htc desire x

my question are :

1) which are more powerful in term of perfomance and touch screen sensitivity(not looking for gaming perfomance)

snapdragon s4 msm8225

dual core 1 ghz ARMv7 Cortex A5

adreno 203

vs

mediatek 6577

dual core 1.2ghz ARMv7 Cortex A9 MPCore (not sure)

power sgx531

2) is it ARM Cortex version affect perfomance?

btw, currently i am using sony xperia go, and this device are suck, hang all over, very lag, and not sensitive at all:mad:
[HTC Desire X] oddoneout:
A brief look at the Cortex A5 and the Cortex A9 reveals that the Cortex A9 has a greater L1 cache.

This considered together with the added 200MHz means that the Motorola Razr D3's processor will perform better than the HTC Desire X's processor.

Something important to bear in mind is that the added UI layers MotoBLUR and Sense permeates the entire system greatly affects performance and touch screen responsiveness. This is why AOSP based custom roms may result in a much more responsive system.
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
Why do you ask which one is better, while only one is released? Is better to live on planet earth, or on space station around mars? Please add as much details as possible!!!
[HTC Desire X] mrxperia12:
thanks,

i think the UI for Razr D3 is not MotoBlur anymore,sense UI on HTC caught my eyes but i love razr d3 more:laugh:

one more thing, both are different Soc in model number which htc desire x with mssm8225 snapdragon s4 while razr d3 with mediatek 6577

as we know, snpdragon are widely uses in high spec devices, while mediatek is china manufacture which well known for cloning and dual sim support

so, which one is better to affect perfomance(like web browsing,watching videos,call and message) if we just briefly compare the Soc in model number
[HTC Desire X] mrxperia12:
razr d3 already released in brazil, will be release worldwide soon and confirmed to get android 5.0;)

i just curious in term of perfomance(web browsing,watching videos,etc) and responsive touch screen

in term of gaming perfomance, i already know goes to desire x but i not intend for that

well, the s4 play lose vs mediatek 6577. why? s4 play is cortex a5 vs mediatek 6577 cortex a7. gpu on mediatek chip is better. only compared with s4 play! not other s4

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

confirmed, is cortex a5 the one in the htc. well, motorola razr win in speed and in all i can see (price too) cortex a7 is a newer model of cortex 5, and has things of cortex a15, making it a very fast chip, and wasting less battery than cortex a9. that's why razr d3 win

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

http://www.mobilephonenews.org/micromax-a110-vs-karbonn-a9-plus/

an example in other phones. the faster has a mediatek 6577t (the same, clocked at 1.2. the same chip as jiayu g2s) and the gpu, is modified in this chip (in this mediatek model, is faster than stock one) go for razr d3

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

no moto blur. full stock android, better than sence. more ram too in razr d3

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

well, but if apple sell you plastic for €20000

and verychina sell you metal for the same, verychina is better. brand isnt the same than quality. jiayu g2s use the same mediatek and rocks.
