[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewisenerd:
Solid Explorer works for me :)

As I said, Solid Explorer, works for me for "editing" flashable zips... As far as creating the zip file is concerned, you already know the procedure... Create an archive using any file manager, with compression set to "Normal"... Any compression level other than normal, you wouldn't be able to flash the zip file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjiegodz:
ok i will try solid fm... i tried zarchiver and es file manager but got aborted.. when im using pc i only drag the apk into the folder. so how about using phone? what i did is... extract the zip then i put the apk in the folder then compress it. i used fastest, normal, fast.. etc to make a zip then when its done i flash it but they all got aborted... :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjiegodz:
the Solid FM did the trick!!! ^_^

but how can i delete app in a zip??? it said operation not supported... i really want to know how.. :(

i haven't tried any aosp ROM yet but Mack's ROM is amazing....this thread's probably gonna be closed though......:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I think you're looking for more a better kernal than a ROM. Kernals have bigger effect on battery than ROMs; although ROMs may use different kernals, and thus gives the appearance of the ROM being more battery efficient.

That's not to say you may not be interested in a different ROM. I would suggest trying Persues with a stock rom.

Towards ROMs, I personally only use deoxidezed stock. I have read and see JellyBomb and Whompass get many kudos. They're touchwiz based. May be a good place to start if you're interested in ROMs.

If you're looking for more AOSP, they're mostly in alpha and beta, but I would suggest checking Cyogenmod or ParaniodAndroid. They're on the hybrid model so you can have tablet mode of apps. Very interesting. Most things work, but not everything. As far as I know, I don't think any have Spen used. Obviously no mutliwindow, at least yet, since that's build into the framework of TouchWiz or other andriod modifications layers, and not Android itself.

Don't have an answer for your questions, since I haven't got any experience :( You could do a google search and see if someone else has posted any experience with that).

The other solution I was thinking is to buy him a 64GB miniSD card and a cable to connect his phone with the TV set. You must consider though fact that playing movies from his phone will deplete his battery quite quick! I have a 64GB Sandisk card and is more than enough!

Btw are you sure he is going to use it on his honeymoon? (His wife might not find it a good idea)...

[Galaxy S 4 General] TingTingin:
If it was using all 8 cores at once that would be a reason not to buy it not the other way around that would be a massive battery hog along with very little performance benefit as no apps use that many threads only way u might benefit is in multi-tasking and even then if your handling enough apps that 4 a15s can't handle then your ram is probably packed so there won't even be room to store any extra processes so the a7s can kick in

So count your blessings :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
It all depends on how you use your phone. If you have a bunch of apps synching, terrible reception, and the screen on the brightest setting all the time you most likely won't get good battery life. I'm more than happy coming from the Nexus 4 though. That phone had horrendous battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
I could get a full days use with my nexus 4 and only use like 40% tasker can work wonders. I'm going to try to it on my s 4 when I let the battery settle from all my changing apps and flashing

Interesting... I use my phone A LOT though and the S4 has impressed me since day one. My nexus dies in a little over a day with no use at all.

I was on a transatlantic flight the other day. With the trip to and from the airport and a long layover, the overall time "on the road" was over 24 hours. I used the S4 pretty heavily in that time (Playing music, streaming internet radio, wifi tethering, using it as a satnav and browsing the web...). Needless to say the battery died before the end of travel, even though I tried to recharge it off of a laptop in between. :(

I guess the only way to get this kind of battery life with modern smartphones is to get a second battery? I am very glad one can at least change the battery on the S4, even though with taking it out of the case first and prying off the slightly fiddelly back it takes quite a while to swap batteries.

I'm a need of help here. I've been searching around the web and here to find the answer that for some reason I can't find. When I connect Kindle Fire 2 using a fastboot cable the device that comes up in Device Manager is otter2-prod-04. I've tried to install drivers manually using "Have a Disk" method but adb would not communicate with device (adb devices doesn't return a value). I don't know if the android_winusb.inf has to be edited (it only seems to be the case with first gen kindle) but I haven't found any guides that tell you to do it for Kindle Fire 2. Any help or proper direction is appreciated.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] onemeila:
Have you ran a fastboot cmd? ADB and fastboot are totally separate from one another. Try running: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

That will give you the product id while in fastboot.

adb works fine, but not fastboot. fastboot devices returns nothing.

I have a factory cable that does boot it it fastboot screen.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] onemeila:
Then you have a driver issue. Get the device into fastboot and with it plugged in go to your device manager and right click the device that shows up(it will probably have a yellow triangle next to it. Then select update driver, then choose "browse my computer for device software", lastly choose "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Since you have adb working then you should have one that says "adb composite interface" or something like that. Once you install the driver you should be ok.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] lgweaver:
Found those steps. but that driver was already installed and said it was functioning. I risked it and attempted the root and install of jellybean without the fastboot command showing devices. apparently it works. my Kindle fire 2 is running cyanogen mod without issue now.

TV out

I really couldn't tell you that but our devices (with stock rom) can both connect directly with HDMI, or steam wirelessly with any device that is "allshare" compatible. I don't think that or has anything to do with a specific Android version, but it is dependant on Samsung software. I use my note 2 to stream netflix to my tv through my Samsung blu-ray player. I did have it plugged in with the HDMI cable, but that was a hassle. A lot of the custom roms have removed these samsung features as they think they are "bloatware".

Got this direct from wiki:

On 29 October 2012,*Google*announced that Android*version 4.2 (updated version of Jelly Bean) will support the Miracast wireless display standard,

and by default will have integrated features for it. As of January 8, 2013, the*LG Nexus 4*and*Sony's*Xperia*Z, ZL, T and V officially support the function, as does*Samsung*in its Galaxy S III*and*Galaxy Note II*under the moniker AllShare Cast.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] thegospelofgroove:
What is the difference between 'Sounds & Notifications' vs 'Rings', and why does one support .wma format (Rings), and the other only .wav format?

Needless to say the .wav files tend to be a lot larger in size, and given the phone/speaker format why would we need a lossless (larger file) format for rings/sounds/notifications?

Is this an OS implementation or 3rd party application design?

While on this subject, where can I get a decent pair of headphones that also allow me to answer the phone (not bluetooth though as that seems to be quite a bit more expensive, nice yes, but costly too!)

Thanks in advance,

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ednap:
Sound and notifications applies to events in the PPC (reminders, alarms etc) while rings refers to ringtones for the phone.

To add variaety to the ringtone options many of us use a third party application called RingToneX from http://www.mtux.com

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] thegospelofgroove:
thanks for the quick response, and although that does look like a useful product, it doesn't appear to do anything for the issue of being limited to .wav files for all other system (PPC) sounds & notifications...

perhaps there is a more appropriate forum/group I should post to get a better understanding of whether or not there is an API or OS/registry setting that would allow us to configure (or code) .wma (or even .mp3) support for the rest of the PPC 'sounds and notifications'?
