Mugen Power Extended Battery for MDA IIs. This battery will be released soon.

Capacity : 3300mAh
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] datasafe:
I just got one of these MDA IIIs. I asked for accessories but they had none!

I want an extended battery too so I went and got a lead acid 12v from a scrap yard and fitted it on a pair of roller skates (a skateboard would do). I then purchased a 600 watt inverter from Maplin Electronics and coupled this to a transformer from one of my old Sinclair Spectrums computer and before anyone jumps down my throat - yes I added a voltage regulator so not to blow up my new MDA III.

Im Not Sure...But....

I think maybe if they shaped the battery more like this, then it would be a MORE functional design...

Does anyone know if there's any reason these batteries wouldn't be suitable for an Orange SPV M2000??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] datasafe:
In MY opinion the cost of batteries is a total rip off and we the consumers are held to ransom.

Battery Compatibility

Blue Angel & Himalaya batteries are incompatible because of different shapes.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] malliaris:
how long more?

can anyone be more specific about how long these different batteries last? the 3200 makes the pda nothing like a pda only the 1900 or the 2200 would an option

thanks

Extended Battery

I know this sounds stupid but do the extended batteries fit in the desktop charger?

I have the 2200 mah battery for my PDA2K [the slimmest one they make] and it does NOT fit properly in the desktop charger.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcfan85:
So I'm wondering if I should buy a used 1st gen N7 or wait for the new one. Currently, I'm not planning on doing anything too graphics or processor intensive on it. I'm just sick of having to use a light for my Kindle Touch and not being able to do anything else but read on it. Plus I would like to carry around something smaller than my 15" laptop to class to take notes using Quickoffice Pro or OneNote. I just bought an Inland flexible keyboard and I want to hook that up to the N7. Anyways, I found one that's been rooted and is selling for $140 in good condition. I also saw a couple that were selling at about that price point, a little higher and lower.

The question is: Is it worth it to buy the new-gen N7 instead of spending less on a used N7 if the current one's processor and screen (I'm pretty careful with phones, cameras, and computers; i.e. I don't drop them at all) might be all that I need? I understand that it's most likely going to be faster and even have improved battery life, which would be useful if I play some Android games on there. I might play some graphics intensive games once I actually get the device in front of me, but I'm most likely going to be using it purely for e-reading, maybe watching the occasional movie/video, browsing the web, and email. And from what I've heard, the N7 doesn't lag too much unless you're running multiple apps/tasks or doing something that requires a lot of processor speed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
If all you are looking for is an e-reader, the original Nexus 7 performs that job just as well as any tablet out there. The only thing that the 2nd Gen will have that you would benefit from is a higher resolution screen, but the screen on this is no slouch either.

If the price is right, go for it. $140 is right on the edge for me though, I would be curious if it would be wiser to spend $50 bucks more to avoid any "used" headaches.

Just be aware that a new one is coming, and when it does this model will drop in price. As long as you are OK with that fact, go for it!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcfan85:
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking too. I just happened to see a 32 gb month-old Nexus 7 for $180 and I'm trying to see if the seller is willing to drop the price a bit, maybe by like $10 or something. If not, it seems like it would still be a good deal.

Like I said though, I'm only thinking of using it as an e-reader for now because I don't have it in front of me. Once I do, I might be tempted to do a lot more with it, though I'm not sure if I'll be pushing it so much that I would want to get a faster processor.

Which brings me to another question: What kinds of activities do you do on your Nexus 7 that makes it lag and you wish, "If only it had a faster processor and more RAM"?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fallon9111:
All of my wha!!??

There is a new nexus 7 now?

I Googled it and found nothing but rumours...

Please could someone enlighten me?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcfan85:
There is already a thread on this topic if you look near the top of this forum.

Have you noticed any lag on your Nexus 7? For instance, does using OneNote, Quickoffice Pro, and Chrome with 5 or so tabs stress it or does it still run smoothly?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackFire27:
I see your posting from a one x so their pretty similar specs.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcfan85:
Interesting.. I didn't know that lol. Well, I've been thinking about it and I think I'm going to buy a Hisense Sero Pro instead of getting a used Nexus 7. I drove 50 minutes today to buy it from someone on Craigslist, but he didn't show and wasn't answering calls or texts by the time I got there. Waste of time.. So I called up my local Walmart and asked if they had the Sero Pro. Turns out they do! So I'm going to go sometime tonight and check it out. I've been reading and hearing good things about them, especially that it's like a Nexus 7 that isn't a Nexus 7. It's 149.99 new, has dual cameras, micro sd card expansion, mini-hdmi out, and specs almost the same as the Nexus 7. The only thing is that it has a 4,000 mAh battery... so a little less battery life. But I just bought a cheap 64 GB micro sd card on eBay and I want to try it out on this! If anyone is interested, I'll post a bit of what I think if I end up getting it tonight or tomorrow.

Also, people have already rooted this, but I don't know if I'll need to just yet... maybe I'll try it if I desperately need to sideload some apps. Otherwise, I think I'm going to leave it as stock if I get it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpisini:
I picked up the Hisense Sero Pro yesterday and so far I am very happy. It is leaps and bounds faster than my old tablet. I don't have a nexus 7 so can't test them together but all my benchmarks have been spot on with the nexus scores online. Too early to tell you about reliability but it feels solid enough, As long as I get a year out of it I will be extremely happy with this purchase. I thought about importing something but didn't want to deal with any issues. As long as Walmart carries these you can swap them out if they break.

Hi guys... i have been going through alot of the threads here but i haven't seen the answer to my problem... i decided to post this thread so i can get a direct answer pls, I have a samsung galaxy young GT-S5360(rooted) but i can't seem to connect to my ad hoc network despite downloading the wpa_supplicant file here on xda and changing the permission as intstructed... when i search for my ad hoc network it just keeps searching but never finds it, i would like some help please... Thank You

I think our device do not support to connect to an ad hoc wifi network?

[HTC One X] LDH2K10:
If I update my cm10.1 ROM to a newer version, will I have to re flash my boot.IMG again?
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Depends, if there are no ramdisk/kernel tweaks, you don't need to... but it's always recommended to flash first!

It takes about 15 seconds more?!

From next time onwards, ask ROM related questions in the ROM thread! ;)
[HTC One X] LDH2K10:
OK, its because I'm on holiday and there's a update. I've tweaked the karnel to boost my SD. Its the CM10.1.0 RC2 update. Also, I have customised my ROM using ROM toolbox, would I loose all my customisations after performing the update? If so, is there any way I can restore it after updating? Thanks
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Kernel related tweaks will be re-set... Preferences/settings of rom toolbox won't be changed if you dirty flash the latest build AFAIK! Never tried it, so can't say for sure...

Titanium Backup takes a backup of your app and then restores it.. along with all the preferences... However, again, I've not used ROM toolbox to tweak anything so can't be sure whether it will back them up as well?!

Worst case will be, you will have to do all the tweaks again! That's it! ;)
[HTC One X] LDH2K10:
Dirty flash??
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Flashing the rom without wiping anything! :D

However, if you do wipe data/cache/dalvic, I'm sure you will loose everything!
[HTC One X] LDH2K10:
Thanks, I'll try it sometime

just in case...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eggshaped:
This looks nice. I usually stick with Vanir roms but I fancy something that looks a bit different for a change. I'll give some feedback after I've installed it.

Thanks skyfall :)

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Major panic! Is this a joke? During install it says 'something went wrong, trying to repair the tablet. Failed.' Then TWRP says there's a problem and tries to repair the root permissions. Not sure if it was a joke or not but I panicked and restored my Prime nandroid. Sorry, not chancing it!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skyfall007:
haha. it's a joke.. that's what i've written in updater-script.. Install it without any doubt!

About root permissions it sometimes happen but I don't know why.. with CWM I don't have any problem.. fix root permissions if asked and you will be fine!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eggshaped:
Lol...I wondered if it was your idea of a joke :D

Just installed it (again :p) and it looks great. Very smooth, I love the transparent apps and settings. The nav bar looks very nice, it's good to see something slightly different. Nice Samsung noises as well.

Well I've only tried it for 5 minutes but so far it's buttery smooth and visually it looks gorgeous. Very nice work! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skyfall007:

Is it normal for after installing the ROM I try to reboot but twrp says I need to fix permissions before rebooting? Anyways I granted that and this is a very smooth ROM very impressed!:thumbup:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] IP IHI II IL:
I've had my N7 a few months and was procrastinating on unlocking/rooting. I finally got the time to do it yesterday, and yours is the first ROM I installed. Honestly, so far, I don't think I'll flash another! It's working perfectly. Outside of a few apps not showing up in GP (easily installed manually with MyAppSharer) it's faster, more responsive and visually GORGEOUS! This ROM is everything I expected from a stock based rooted ROM. Thank you for this! I'm excited to see future development!!

http://android-gz.com
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IP IHI II IL:
I've noticed a few apps malfunction a bit. Gmail, YouTube & WordPress go blank (white screen). Gmail and YouTube will work after closing & relaunching, but WordPress stays blank. Also, the browsers I use, Chrome & XScope malfunction A LOT. Chrome will freeze and FC, and XScope's tabs/options dissappear after they auto hide, and can't be restored by pulling down.

Only a few minor annoyances. Everything else so far is working magnificently!

http://android-gz.com
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skyfall007:
have you done a full wipe? I'm not experiencing that bugs.. I watched today a few movies on youtube, my mom read few documents with wordpress and nothing was wrong.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IP IHI II IL:
Yeah, I ALWAYS wipe everything (usually 2-3 times). YouTube only white screened once, but gmail & WordPress are consistent. I'll un/reinstall to see if the apps themselves are the issue.

http://android-gz.com
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IP IHI II IL:
Oddly, it seems to only be the Stats that whitescreen in WordPress...

View attachment 1993365

I've un/reinstalled and still have the same experience... No big deal, really, I can always check stats on my phone. I'm thinking the other issues may be caused by the kernel & OS getting comfy together... That tends to happen after a flash...

LOVING this ROM! Can't wait to see what's next!

great battery life... downloading, browsing, youtube etc.. i got over 6 hours screen time which i rarely get nowadays... stock settings btw.. Only suggestion i have is maybe adding am/pm to the time lol besides that everything is perfect :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] p4rot:
I just installed that ROM and I can say I like it, its different from other Roms, its the stock feel but better, transparent play store, bubble pop sound..

If you could add a couple of tweaks to customize the ui ( battery bar( a penguin shaped battery icon would be cool, lol) , navigation bar button quantity and a custom boot animation( there something for sure to do with that penguin).

I know I might be asking a lot for a 1.0 ROM but I just give some ideas.

Good job, keep up the good work.

---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

Also if you could include your default s4 wallpaper in the wallpapers list it would be cool, because if you switch your wallpaper you can't apply it back.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skyfall007:
will be available soon!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mnorton1228:
Love the Rom! Very nice battery life. Will be my daily driver for quite some time. Thanks a ton for this :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] p4rot:
I run this rom since yesterday with the Trinity kernel and its very smooth.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IP IHI II IL:
Battery usage through day 2... I don't like to let it go much lower than 30% since I use it all day every day. Pretty good so far, keeping in mind that it takes a few days for everything to settle in after a flash! It's only gonna get better. Doubt I'll be flashing any other ROM. Thanks so much Skyfall!

I too vote for the penguin batt icon also a boot animation involving penguins.its very good to see this stock missed ROM.also do not change the kernel,stock is the best.no heat issues or random freezes.nice work buddy.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] p4rot:
If you're tired of other Roms this one is a fresh breeze I can tell you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I think its funny how people worry about battery life when it is a stock kernel.of course with the stock kernel we experience nice battery life.I've been using my tab all day,its at 27% and 14hrs. I'd say that it is awesome for constant use of internet Facebook games and downloading that would never happen with a custom kernel in my opinion.

flashed v1.1.... on first boot, i get "Setup Wizard has stopped"

not sure if anyone got that... i'm still on 4.13 bootloader (not sure if taht's relevant)

anyhoo, gonna re-download and flash again...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skyfall007:
you need to install 4.18 bootloader!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chan1628:
funny, i just went to that thread and tried to update the bootloader....

"fastboot devices" doesn't recognize my n7, even though "adb devices" work just fine.... so i tried going the flashable method and as i just posted on that thread, the flashable zip file didn't work... still stuck on 4.13

i'll keep tryin'
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skyfall007:
use one of the toolkits to install drivers and then reboot to fastboot and flash the bootloader
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chan1628:
ok, after a few attempts... bootloader is updated to 4.18

i re-downloaded v1.1, chk'd md5 and it passed

so i did a full wipe and flashed the rom, then this happened during installation:

Getting ready for Penguin ROM...

Mounting system...

Wiping system...

Cooking...

Upsss...Something went wrong

Deleting all your files...

Trying to repair the tablet...

Failed!

Updating partition details...

and then it shows "Successful"

so I rebooted and continued with the setup...

everything looked good for a few minutes while i was changing the settings and then i got an RR

at least i got it boot up for now, will continue to play with it more to see how this rom runs

thx for the help and thx for your efforts on this rom

cheers
