IMO, I think they've taken a lot of the widgets that weren't as mainstream as they used to be off. This was all part of the design process to slim down Sense.

Which is beautiful. I love the striped down, minimalistic look. But... Photo widget. :(

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] budroux:
I agree and that photo album widget or whatever it is on the lockscreen says you can browse photos but I have yet to accomplish that without unlocking to home page :crying: Kinda useless on the lockscreen in my humble opinion. I guess a developer could tweak it so it could be put on a main screen but then again I don' see any user options either. Uh...

There are a couple in the playstore that are kinda cool. I have been keeping my eye on this one and it looks promising as far as user options and tweaking. It looks like it recently got tweaked for 4.2.2 so it is up to date in that regard. I am going to check it out and see how it runs on 4.1.2.

Ah yes, Photo Grid widget. I used it on AOSP ROM's for a while. just wasn't quite the same though. haven't used it in a while though, maybe some updates did it some good, I'll try it again I guess.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] budroux:
I did try that photo grid and it is pretty cool. It did appear laggy a few times and it did force close a couple of times. Hopefully we can get our phone updated to 4.2.2 and then this will be a great option. Anyways we gave it a try....

Hi Everyone,

I have a Defy+ with CM7.2 with no other modifications.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] folala01:
Hello,

i just bought an old samsung galaxy s and it has a very old android inside. I had a look in the forums so i am somewhat aware what to do. But those threads are mostly 100s pages long so after i read maybe since 5 days i still feel i have to ask before i continue with flashing and renewing the OS inside it.

First i give you specifications from about the phone menu in the cellphone:

Model: GT-I9000

firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: I9000NEJG1

Keernel version: 2.6.29 root@SE-S603 #2

Build number: ECLAIR.NEJG3

i also inserted a 4GB microSD card and it also has its own internal SDcard of course.

its the first time i use a touchscreen android phone, i am quite experienced at editing, formatting and PCs and registries..etc since windows98.

but i have no experience with androids.

First of all which android version i need? I really do not care about excessive use of applications. I only need reading mails, rarely using facebook kind pages, google map, a navigation program, Skype(not swype)-being able to make video calls. A scheduler with calendar and a working camera and a kind of a easy note taking software. I will be using a lot of wireless internet(wifi points around) with the phone so also a stable wifi connection version of android is for me important.

I do not care about visualisations... I need a smooth working, stabile phone. so which version you suggest for my phone?

Radio i do not need, swype is optional :)

i read many things about lagfix.. the file system of internal sdcard, i was not able to follow the 100s pages of thread, can you please provide me with simple way of fixing it?

i read also much about rooting and flashing could not follow also, do i really need a very very specific root and flash program which is compatible with my phone?

about CMW version i am also doubtful....does it have to be compatible with my phone model?

-it was locked for using in georgia and i made it unlocked, now working basically with a simcard of georgia.

Question is: will the unlocking be reversed after rooting and flashing? Do i need to unlock it again after new android? ( i prefer not to as i paid 20 euro for it)

phone is not rooted.

my android is not able to run skype now and also alarm working randomly and it is restarting itself from time to time.

can you give me a step by step guide for what i need with download links if possible(i really appreciate the links) and also while explaining step by step, can you specify which file i should put in external sd card and which ones i need in internal sd card.

There is no single data i need to recover in the phone.

if you need any other information please tell me, i can give.

thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Hi,

Okay, so I can't give an answer to every question but I can at least give you my opinion.

In terms of roms, before you do anything you want to update to 2.3.6, which you can download at http://www.sammobile.com under the "firmware" section. Search for any I9000 2.3.6 rom.

Use Odin to flash the rom in (if you want step by step instructions PM me or leave a reply).

As for what version of Android, really, anything above 4.0 will probably suit you. Take a look at the CyanogenMod roms:

CM9 (ICS 4.0.4): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592131

CM10 (JB 4.1.2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778526

CM10.1 (JB 4.2.2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2039755

Also take a look at the Slim series, my personal favourite (due to the lightness and the amazing battery life)

SlimICS (4.0.4): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488096

SlimBean 3.1 (4.1.2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1780071

SlimBean 5.0 (4.2.2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060374

With Slim Bean you need to flash in another file for email however.

Look around those two awesome roms because those seem like the best for your usage.

You won't lose connection due to IMEI problems on Jelly Bean if you flash in CM9 and letting it boot first before flashing in Jelly Bean. Going directly from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean is likely to cause IMEI loss, if that's what you meant.

[MENTION=4799887]Soryuu[/MENTION],

Hello,thanks for answer first of all...i may need of course step by step instructions, but i wanted to ask why did you say that before anything else i need to upgrade to 2.3.6? as you also suggested if anything above 4.0.0 going to meet my requirements, why in that case i need 2.3.6 first?

if i upgrade to one of those 4.0 version you say, do they include lagfix(file system-like fat32,ntfs..)

and what do you mean with i need another application for mails, do not they open and connect to internet and simple webpages without extra apps? after one of these 4.0 versions cant i just go skype.com and download skye android version and use it with video and basic(sound) call options?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Hey there,

Sure, just PM me when you're ready and I'll send you instructions (hopefully without being too confusing O_O)

People often suggest upgrading to 2.3.6 which is the latest official version for the Galaxy S. I guess partly because its dead easy to root (CF-root, I'll link you if you want), but also because I've seen people who have problems trying to go to 4.x.x straight from 2.2 or 2.1.

There may be some other technical reason behind doing this- perhaps its because of how the data is organised and scripted in differing versions, and that makes it easier in 2.3.6- but its recommended, and hey, if things go wrong, you can go back to the latest official rom for the s :D

Anything above 4.0 should be fast and smooth enough to not require lagfix. Lagfix is something that I've seen more on Gingerbread than ICS or JB. In fact I'm not sure whether ICS and JB have lagfix at all- those roms are smooth :D

Emails will still work in the browser like normal, if that's what you meant and not through an app then that's fine :D (I have to say browsing the web on these roms are pretty amazing)

Just that Slim Bean tries to make a REALLY light rom in terms of size and speed. So by default they don't include the Email app that comes with most other roms. On their website they have a flashable zip that installs the Email app like normal. If you're not looking to use an app for email though and instead with the browser, then it doesn't really matter.

CyanogenMod roms have this email app by default.

And you should be fine with Skype on Play Store. You shouldn't run into any problems unless its a problem with the app and not the telephony/sound/video features of the rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] folala01:
Hello!

thanks to Soryuus PM efforts i was able to install SlimBean 5.0 and now phone is working with that.... but it says no network detected!!

i am not able to make phone calls :(

sim card inserted..i also made a few reboots...

it did not ask for sim pin either!

i was able to make calls with android 2.1

i got this phone from austria and i came to georgia.... while android 2.1 was installed, ı had to pay someone 20 usd to make a unlock to be able to use network provider.... it was networ-or- simlocked...

so do you think after this slimbean v5(a new OS in phone after rooting and flashing..etc) must i make another network-phone-sim unlock operation?

or is there a setting in phone about that?

i am completely new to this slimbean...last one i used was android 2.1

should i create a google account or another kind of account?

there is something called superuser..is this what?

i was in fact looking for a simple and smooth OS, is android 2.36 better for me?(if you consider my requirements from above posts?

in slimbean there are phone settings, nova settings and even slim settings and many other settings i am a bit messed up :)

if i can do something, under which settings i will find it?

some other info about operation i did:

i was able root with CWM first but after that when i installed the slim v5.0 also the recovery mod(soundup-middle button-power button) changed to a semaphore version..... was that expected??

but i was able to call people with my android 2.1 now i cant call :(

it says no network provider :(

how to solve that?

i got the phone from Austria and it was network locked here when i first come(now i am in georgia), i had to pay someone to unlock it...do you think i have to do that again??

and another little thing i noticed:

my android 2.3.6 version was xxjw4 as suggested...after i upgraded it from 2.1

now with slim, baseband is unknown and build number is JDQ39E is there something wrong here? should not it be something like JW4 again

i installed the rom: Slim-galaxysmtd-4.2.2.build.5-OFFICIAL

i also tried: GT-I9000_XEU_I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_I9000XXJW4 but this one did give an error and i could not install(do you think i should force this one(give another try?)

now:

in phone's settings>about phone: i see

modek number: GT-I9000

Android version: 4.2.2

Baseband version: Unknown !!!!!is this a problem!!??

Kernel version: 3.0.76-semaphore_JB_2_9_24s

CPU: ARMv7 processor rev 2(v7l) !!first time i see a cpu under about phone settings!! is this ok??

Memory: 386MB

Slim version: Slim-4.2.2.build 5-OFFICIAL

Build number: JDQ39E

if i have to make an unlock operation again...i will pay again some money...but what if i decide to change the android version again-if i do not like this one or want to try another one, i may again need to pay this price!! which will be really annoying after 2 times!! :)

has that unlocking operation some files in root or SD card which i can copy and past or install again after i flash??

can you give me some advices about that??

thanks for any advices!

ok... we did some things and i was able to flash slimbean 5.0 but then i noticed that i lost imei files and then tried to roll back to 2.3.6...etc

now phone is not working at all... having these lines in cwm mod:

E:unknown volume for path [/data]

E:unknown volume for path [/data]

E:unable process volume! Skipping...

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]

so i think i need a total new flash and recovery.. i will loose imei and have to pay again 20 usd for unlocking the device but its ok (i am not sure if i can buy a new 2nd hand samsung glaxy i9000 for 40 usd, in georgia(south of russia))

i came by a this thread: [ROM] EZbase v3.0 [25/04/2011] - odin / heimdall - Easy Full Graphical How-To

link is:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991792

but none of the download links are working...is any one there who can send me the necessary files or working links for those files?

or is there a new way and version of this total recovery method?

if i can recover and make the phone works, then i will first flash 2.3.6 XXJW4

then CM 9.0

then SlimBean 5.0

is there anything i miss here... do i need a specific cm 9.0 version like cm 9.0XXJW4? and slimbean v5 XXJW4??

i do not think so but i ask anyway to be safe...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] folala01:
ok!

i did it again... i used 512.pit file and repartitioned the card.

i installed 2.3.6 this time and i my imei was automatically recovered...

i am able to use internet, skype and some applications i wanted to have so it seems i will stay on this 2.3.6 for some time unless i notice some problems.

i also backed up this installation now and i now know how to recover from some unwanted situations....

i thank you those who contributed to the topic and also those who did not contribute and (indirectly) forced me to read in forums and learn by myself even if it took maybe more than 1 week and a lot of time :)

i now know how to install other OSs and in which order i must install..etc (2.3.6->CM9->JB)

hope i wont need much help if i one day want to update somethings...

now i want to use the phone for a while :D

Excellent screen protector, it has only holes for camera and, of course, ear speaker so it looks realy nice - like original.

I had try many SP, but it were hard to clean or full of scratch after only few days.

Or ugly cuted (ugly squares on sensors and front camera).

And send protector very fast.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
Title says it all really, I've spent most of my time away from the rom/kernel scene - looking to get back into it (perhaps)

So - I have a few questions.

1. For the R800X, Cola rom seems to be the best in terms of ram and internal memory; which is what I'm looking in a rom BTW. Is that still the case?

2. At the time, NXT LE was the best rom for the R800AT in terms of ram and internal memory, now since then I've noticed there's a new rom called NXT game or something along those lines, is that rom less resource consuming?

3. Any new GB kernels? (currently have DooMKerneL V2 on R800X & LuPuS V5 on R800AT)

4. Is GB still the best android version for these phones? I've seen a lot of people using JB on their plays recently.

5. And once again, looking for roms with high amounts of free ram and internal memory. Anything 'new' around here I should look into?

-Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Well for r800at I'd check out Aurora play,atomic gb, it gin2jellybean. All look great and have great ram except for the last one. It has jellybean features so it doesn't have as much ram but still has the great touch pad compatibility of gb and games still run great. For r800x there are not much new custom rooms. But for r800at you can update your kernel to lupus v8. Also for r800x you can use lupus v8 as well if you use stock 2.3.4 because there was a camera fix for it. But sync still doesn't work. And also 2.3.3 wifi doesn't work with any kernels but stock and doom v2. Welcome back :D

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
Do you happen to know how much ram and internal memory is available upon a fresh install of Aurora Play & Atomic GB?

I use Doomkernel V2 on my R800X (2.3.3) because Superoneclick wouldn't root my phone on 2.3.4. So I'm pretty sure I'm stuck on 2.3.3 for the R800X if I want a custom kernel and rom with working wifi.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Well for r800x you can use lupus v8 and 2.3.4. To root it just flash the root zip in the op of the thread. For Aurora play I think it has about 270- 280 on a fresh install. I never tried it because I have an r800x (edit: well i did but no service so only used a little and dont remember) but I saw that posted in the thread and everyone said good things about it. It also has adreno booster which helps out with lots of games but some people reported it had problems with enulators. But you can always remove that yourself. I'm not sure about atomic gb though you'll have to check out its thread. Also if you don't use service on your r800x you can use this patch here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1961403 so that you can use GSM gb rooms on your r800x. I've tested it and it works. Just make sure to flash it right after flashing the rom.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Its more up to date but really performance was pretty similar. Only advantage is if you want to use 2.3.4. But if you need gsync it'd be best to stay on 2.3.3.

Atomic gb looks good and works very well. I can't say in my own opinion because all the GSM rooms I tried were only for a day. All the reviews in the thread seem good so why not try it. For now I would go with atomic gb because there's a new update coming for Aurora play soon that'll fix a lot of things and make it better so you might as well wait. But atomic gb is final so you can use that and if you don't like it switch to Aurora play when the new update comes

Let me ask you this, is the wifi any better on Lupus V8 compared Doomkernel?

On Doomkernel it tends to 'refresh' and disconnect on low wifi sometimes, and boy is that aggravating...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I've never had any problems with wifi so far except for sometimes after turning off the phone and back on it won't automatically connect. You have to go to wifi settings and then it'll connect. But other than that its been working great. You could also use doom kernel v 14 if you use 2.3.4. I think it gives better gaming performance.

Hi.

From next week I will be proud owner of Xperia Z phone. Please, do recommend fast memory card. I used class 10 Samsung on Desire.

Now, I see that Samsung have Class 6 Plus, which are supposedly very fast.

In Croatia, there is nowhere to find SanDisk cards, so I will stick with Samsung.

So, my question is - which card to buy:

This - 16GB MicroSDHC Pro Class 10

or this - 32GB MicroSDHC Plus Class 6

Price is nearly the same (16GB is 3USD cheaper).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikkon:

only that the 32Gb must be formated in the device.will not be able to read it if you already have data on.(on non-rooted firmware as in my case)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] race4life:
Class 10

depending on the amount of data you have, if its not more than 10 GB i would definitely recommend Class 10. I have sandisk class 10 16GB in my XZ and i tried a 32GB class 6 the difference is very visible. if you can afford go for the 32GB class 10.

Also dont forget that you would need to format the card inside the phone for optimal performance :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
On Desire I used 8GB class 10, and had 6GB available couse 1,6GB was EXT4 partition. Of those 6GB on Fat32, I used 60-70% max with pics, music and recorded videos. So, better to buy smaller but faster, than larger but slower :) ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashppo:
It's up to you really, it depends on how much space you need. You are not going to be using the SD to hold any system files with the Z so it's okay that it's not lightning fast, I would go with the 32gb, unless you think that you'll never use that much ;)
